Chapter 1480: Cypress
Soon, I took Gu Hai to a very secluded Taoist temple.
Along the way, we passed through villages that were deserted and not even free of flies.
But we didn't get under any attack.
The journey went smoothly and we walked along the paved path in the village all the way outside.
Even though I didn't get any attack, I could still feel the prying eyes coming from time to time at the end of the eaves and alleys of the village.
Since I was worried about the situation on Wei Rubing's side, and these things only dared to look at us secretly, and didn't dare to really come over to provoke the two of us, I didn't go directly to them for trouble.
I know that sooner or later these guys will appear in front of me, and there is no hurry.
Gu Hai didn't feel anything, although he didn't feel that he was under the surveillance of others, but he was also very nervous along the way, for fear of being knocked unconscious again.
After crossing the village, we climbed over a low hill before we came to the gate of Hanbaiguan.
What appeared in front of us was a very dilapidated and cramped Taoist temple, and the houses of the villagers living at the foot of the mountain were simply not a product of the same era.
The outer wall has fallen off, well, the so-called wall skin is even a layer of mud, and the inside is a courtyard wall made of stones.
If it weren't for the long black wooden plaque hanging on the gate of the courtyard with the words Hanbaiguan engraved on it, I would probably think of this place as a place for hunters or woodcutters to settle in the mountains in the winter.
The two wooden doors were not locked, and they could be pushed open with a little effort.
And there is no arrangement here, there is no trace of a spell at all.
I really didn't expect that this year-old Baidao person would be able to insist on living such a poor life.
It's hard to imagine that there are such practitioners today.
"Wei Zhenren said, all the masters are like this, aren't you too?" Gu Hai said cautiously beside me.
I was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about the life I am living now, it seems that it is no different from ordinary people, why does Gu Hai say that I am too?
"What do you mean by that?"
I asked.
Gu Hai was speechless for a moment, and then said: "Everyone says that you are the most powerful, no matter what twists and turns are hidden behind the matter, you can find out, and I have heard people say that your strength is too strong, so as long as you are present, we had better stay away." ”
After listening to it, I really wanted to curse, but then I thought about it, and it was really like this.
"Alright, let's not talk about this yet, let's go in and have a look!"
With a wave of my hand, I took the lead in entering the Hanbai Temple.
Although the appearance of Hanbaiguan is quite dilapidated, the situation in the courtyard is not like this.
A large hall is dedicated to the ancestors of the Three Qing Daoists, and an east room should be the place where the Sui Bai Dao people themselves live and practice.
In the middle of the courtyard, there is a huge hole, about two lengths deep, and I don't know what is in it.
Pushing open the door of the main hall and walking inside, I looked left and right, and didn't see anything wrong.
After checking them all, I finally set my sights on the deep pit in the courtyard.
No one will use the pit as an ornament, right?
"When you came here before, was this pit here?" I asked Gu Hai back.
Gu Hai immediately said: "I haven't come in at all, I just came to the outside of the Taoist temple before, and I was appointed by Wei Zhenren to ask you to go." ”
Gu Hai didn't know anything, and I wasn't disappointed.
I crouched down, looked carefully at the edge of the pit, and with my hand, pulled out a black piece of something from the frozen hard earth.
"This is the root, there was originally a tree here?!"
I threw the root down in my hand and looked at it again, which strengthened my thoughts.
There was originally a large tree planted here, but I can't tell what it is, but it's probably a cypress.
Judging from the depth of this big pit, the original tree may not be small.
At this time, I looked around again, and sure enough, I saw some fallen leaves, but they were all blown to the wall by the wind, and I didn't notice it before.
Whether the tree is a cypress or not, why did it disappear?
It's just a tree, can you still run with long legs?
Well, it's not impossible, if the tree cultivates into a monster, of course it can't move at first, but after the cultivation is profound, it's not difficult to move and move somewhere.
The problem is that if a cultivator is a cultivator, it is impossible for him to raise a tree demon in the place where he is practicing, right?
I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't understand what the hell was going on.
In the end, I stood up directly and took Gu Hai to the back of Hanbai Temple.
I immediately saw a large tree about three or four meters high.
It was indeed a cypress tree, and despite the cold weather, the leaves did not change color.
Only the canopy of the tree remains, and the trunk is still missing.
I stepped forward and looked at the place where the trunk had broken.
Then, I flipped the tree in one direction.
At this moment, we immediately discovered how the crown of the tree broke off from the tree.
At the place where the tree was broken, there was a half-fist mark, and it was obvious that the tree was broken by a punch.
But where the roots and trunk are now, I don't know.
From the current situation, I can't tell anything, so I'm going to leave here with Gu Hai.
Just before I was about to leave here, I suddenly stopped again and silently went backwards.
This time, I put my palm on the canopy.
A stream of pure yang mana poured down my palm into the tree.
Instantly, my face changed.
Before, I secretly thought that it was impossible for the Sui Bai Dao people to raise a tree demon in the place where they practiced.
But I've changed that mind now, because the body of the tree on the ground is clearly a part of the body of a dryad.
It's just that the demonic aura on the cypress demon is very weak, and he has been staying in the Hanbai Temple, and he has been baptized by Taoist scriptures, and his demonic aura has already faded.
If I hadn't looked closely, I might have really ignored the past.
A dryad, and it seems that his cultivation is not weak now, but he was smashed off by a punch...
There are not many people who can do this, Huang Bawang is naturally among them, and I can't think of a few of the rest.
In fact, if the Dryad's cultivation is more advanced, and Huang Bawang wants to break his body with one punch, the probability is not so high.
Because of this, my expression became solemn.
"How did Wei Rubing tell you about this year-old Bai Zhenren?" I asked Gu Hai when I turned around.
Wei Rubing hadn't mentioned the situation of these three cultivators to me before, and I didn't ask much.
I haven't talked to these people much all this time.
