Wu Xiu glanced at the old man and saw that the old man was also looking at himself, as if waiting for his answer, but Wu Xiu noticed a strange look on the old man's face.

Wu Xiu's brain is running rapidly, he has traveled south and north for many years, he has rich experience, he knows that this matter is not simple, and then he thinks of so many long-lived old people in the village, all kinds of strange things make Wu Xiu feel that there must be some secret hidden in this village!

He sensed his own danger, he couldn't handle it well, he was afraid that he might be worried about his life, and now the top priority was to stabilize them and escape by himself.

"The old gentleman's pulse is very weak, I am afraid that the heart is not very good, resulting in slow blood flow, body decay, and maggots, as long as you eat some herbs to nourish the heart. ”

The old man said, "Then let Mr. Law prescribe a prescription." ”

Wu Xiu said: "The herbs in the prescription are very precious and difficult to find, so I happen to have them, put them in the inn where I live, and let me go back and get them." ”

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "It's getting late today, so I'll stay for the time being, and I'll pick it up with him tomorrow." ”

How dare Wu Xiu stay here, he wanted to excuse himself, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to give up, and the old man then led Wu Xiu to a side room and let him rest here.

Wu Xiu was lying on the bed, how could he sleep, go out with the old man tomorrow, escape in the downtown area, and the old man couldn't help himself!

But he was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so the old man changed his mind and didn't let him go, and in this strange place, Wu Xiu was really tormented, so he decided to escape at night while it was dark.

After staying up until the deep watch, Wu Xiu sneaked out of the room, and just walked a few steps, but heard a voice from behind, "Where are you going?"

The sudden voice frightened Wu Xiu's soul, and the old man had been guarding the door, Wu Xiu trembled and said, "I..... I'll go to the small solution. ”

"There was a night pot in the room, no need to go out. The old man said.

Wu Xiu thought that the old man must have become suspicious of himself, and if he didn't leave now, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to go! So he stopped talking to the old man, and ran away, but he never wanted to get too close to the old man, and was caught by the old man stepping forward.

One wanted to go, the other wanted to stay, the two scuffled together, the old man grabbed Wu Xiu while calling the others, Wu Xiu couldn't break free for a while, and in a hurry, he took out a lancet for the patient to cut the sores and rotten flesh from the medicine box that fell to the ground, and slashed forward!

I don't know if Wu Xiu used too much force in a hurry, or if the old man's old body was already decaying, I saw the old man fall to the ground, and his head rolled out a few meters away.

Wu Xiu saw that he had killed the old man, he was frightened in his heart, and turned around to escape! He had just run a few steps, but he heard a sound behind him, and when he looked back, he was horrified, only to see the old man's body bending down and looking for his head on the ground with his hands, and the head was still yelling!

After the old man touched his head, he put it on his neck, and chased after Wu Xiu, and after chasing for less than two steps, his head slipped off his neck, and the old man's body looked for his head again, and so on.

Wu Xiu was dumbfounded, very frightened in his heart, and hurriedly fled before the others arrived, and walked for about half an hour, but he hadn't left the village yet!

At this time, a towering tree appeared in front of him, and there were many small blood-red fruits on the tree, hanging on the tree like a small lantern, Wu Xiu walked to the tree, looked around, and thought: Why don't you remember seeing this tree when you came!

Afraid that he took the wrong road in a panic, Wu Xiu sighed, it was really a house leak and even rainy, just wanted to go back, his feet slipped, and he actually fell into a hole, this hole is like an upside-down funnel, but the mouth is small but the inside is very wide, and the hole is full of fishy smell and rotten!

Wu Xiu slowly adapted to the light in the cave, and after seeing the surroundings clearly, he was suddenly frightened and turned pale!

I saw that the cave was full of corpses, the top one had rotted and smelled, and the lower one had turned into a white skeleton, the corpse was full of tree roots, and the towering tree above was actually absorbing the nutrients of the corpse.

Wu Xiu hurriedly wanted to climb out of the hole, but at this time he heard footsteps outside, so Wu Xiu had to lie down at the entrance of the cave and wait for people to go out again.

A voice said: "The patriarch is too fussy, this Lang Zhong ran away, why bother us to find it." ”

Another voice said: "What do you know, the nourishment of our immortal tree is not enough, and now the immortal fruit is about to ripen, it is at a critical juncture, the patriarch asked him to find a Lang Zhong, it is good to be able to cure his disease, but if he can't be cured, he can also be thrown under the immortal tree to replenish the nutrients of the tree!"

I didn't expect this kid to be so vigilant, he actually let him see the clue and escaped, if he can't find it, we have to go outside the village to find another nourishment, now everyone is alert, how can it be so easy to trick people into the village!

If there is a delay and there is a problem with the longevity fruit, we will not be able to live if we can't eat this year, and if he is allowed to leak our things here, I am afraid that something big will happen. ”

After hearing this, Wu Xiu immediately understood, the nourishment they were talking about was probably the corpse of a person, and the immortal tree was the towering tree he had just seen! The reason why the people here lived so long was that they actually ate the fruit of the tree that was fed with corpses as nutrients, which was really appalling!

Wu Xiu saw the two of them walking away and came out of the cave, looking at the Immortal Tree and thinking that such an evil and harmful thing must no longer be allowed to exist, so he picked up the dry branches around it and piled them up around the Immortal Tree, and lit them with the fire fold he carried with him.

Originally, I was worried that these dry firewood would not kill the immortal tree, but I didn't expect that the immortal tree was extremely flammable, and it burned in an instant, and the fire burst into the sky for a while.

By the time the villagers saw it, it was too late, the immortal tree had been burned into charcoal, and the villagers sat on the ground one by one and wept, while Wu Xiu took the opportunity to leave the village.

After listening to Wu Xiu's statement, Luo Hongzi told Wu Xiu that it was not an "immortal tree", but a "dead man's tree", a different tree in the 100,000 mountains of southern Xinjiang!

If you use the dead to make offerings, you can indeed produce a kind of fruit that can make people immortal for a period of time, but it is not called "Immortal Fruit", but "Soul Locking Fruit", and it cannot make people immortal!

Its function is only to imprison the soul in the body, and the body will still age! And when the body grows old and dies, the soul cannot leave. This can only be described as torture!

Luo Hongzi told Wu Xiu that he had also been to the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang, so he was very clear about this kind of tree! In the local area, the soul locking fruit was used on the enemy, so that the enemy's soul could not rest in peace after death, but he never thought that anyone would regard it as a panacea for growth.

After hearing this, Wu Xiu sighed and shook his head and said: The obsession with immortality has caused them to kill countless people, and they do not hesitate to become monsters, which is really a sadness!

Luo Hongzi asked: Can you tell me the addresses of these people? These people are not shallow in harm, and strictly speaking they are already considered monsters! I have to go and exceedle them one by one.

Wu Xiudao: Otherwise, I'll take you over directly! It's not too far from here.

Luo Hongzi directly shook his head and said: You don't have to go, I'm afraid that there will be some unpredictable dangers in the process of acting! You are an ordinary person who lacks the ability to protect yourself. If you encounter danger, I will protect you!

Wu Xiudao: Okay, eradicate all these harmful monsters for our people! Here I will thank them first. I also wish the Taoist chief a successful start and success!

Then asked where the foot of the mountain was, Luo Hongzi said goodbye to Wuxiu, and set off with Bai Jiao and Lin Heier to the place where the monsters gathered.

After a while, the three of them came to the place where Wu Xiu was frightened all night. After looking for a long time to find the entrance, it turned out that the location of this village was very hidden, and there was no chance to enter it if it was not specifically searched!

After entering the village, as Na Wuxiu said, there were traces of fire and water in the village. It's a mess everywhere, and it's a mess!

Strangely enough, however, there did not seem to be a single person in the village! not even a single living creature was to be seen.

Luo Hongzi searched the entire village, but found a small hole under the towering tree that Wu Xiu said was burned. Sure enough, the corpses that had been used as fertilizer were also found there!

Luo Hongzi pondered: Could it be that "they" think that the Jianghu Langzhong Wuxiu who escaped will run to report to the official? Now that this place has been exposed, and those "dead man's trees" have all been destroyed, it is the best policy to flee as soon as possible!

He communicated his thoughts with Bai Jiao, and Bai Jiao also agreed with his opinion. The three of them had no choice but to burn down the rest of the villages, so that they would not come back and continue to harm people.....

The corpses, which were used as fertilizer, were all dug up and buried on the spot. Luo Hongzi finally helped them carry out a Taoist ritual for them, hoping that these lonely souls and wild ghosts can be reincarnated!

After doing all this, the three of them were ready to continue their journey to find Bai Jiao's sister. But when they just walked out of the village, they saw two people hurrying towards this side!

Wu Xiu shouted at the entrance of the village: Dao Chief, please stay! A moment later, the two came to Luo Hongzi and the three of them, Wu Xiu said breathlessly: Dao Chang stays, there is something to ask for!

Luo Hongzi frowned inexplicably and asked, "Why did the good man come here?"

Wu Xiu pointed to the man next to him: It's not me, it's him.

Luo Hongzi looked at the person who came with Wu Xiu, and saw that the person was ordinary-looking, unremarkable! There was also a slight hint of obscurity on his face.....

Luo Hongzi was obviously stunned, and after another glance to confirm, he said to the man: "Brother Tai mourns!"

The man was also obviously stunned, and Wu Xiu hurriedly introduced it, and it turned out that this person was a relative of his, named Wu An. Recently, things have not gone well, and I have encountered some troublesome things, so I came to Wuxiu to complain!

That Wu Xiu couldn't be channeled, but he suddenly remembered Luo Hongzi, so he rushed to meet this powerful Taoist leader with this Wu An.

Na Wu An asked suspiciously, "Dao Chief, what do you mean by this?"

Luo Hongzi said: "Looking at Brother Tai's appearance, he has recently lost his wife, so let Brother Tai mourn." ”

Wu An seemed to be very unhappy and said: "Why are you talking so nonsense, my wife is staying at home now, what kind of mourning do I have?"

After Luo Hongzi heard this, he was puzzled! He looked at Wu An's face carefully, and said: "I have studied Qimen Dunjia since I was a child, and there will be no mistakes in the deductions I have made.

And your wife is afraid that she has already been poisoned! Looking at the face of the brother, the black appearance of the Yin Hall is a sign of misfortune, and I am afraid that something bad will happen soon.

Wu An said: What basis do you have to say such a thing? If you just come to confuse the public, then I am not the one who can be bullied! When the time comes, the official will take you, but you will be asked to bear the disaster of prison.

Luo Hongzi smiled and said: Whether it is a lie, you know best! Do you dare to say that you haven't encountered anything strange at home recently?

After listening to Luo Hongzi's words, Na Wu'an was like a defeated rooster, and he stopped talking in frustration. After a long time, there was no movement!

Luo Hongzi sighed and said: Since you don't want to say it, then I can't help you! After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but Na Wu'an seemed to be a different person, and hurriedly grabbed Luo Hongzi's robe and begged again and again.

At this time, Na Wu'an told all the causes and consequences of the matter.

It turned out that this person named Wu An, because of his poor family background, no one in the neighborhood was willing to marry, and he has not been able to marry a wife and have children.

But fortunately, God favored him, and he married back a wife at the end of the year, the wife was good-looking, because of a sudden change in the family, his father, who made a living by catching snakes, was accidentally bitten to death by a poisonous snake, and the family collapsed, so he had to find someone to marry him out as soon as possible.

happened to be matched by a matchmaker, and she saw that Wu An was honest and honest, and she was not afraid of being bullied because no one in her mother's family had passed the door, so she married Wu An.

Wu An was very happy to get this wife! He was very fond of his wife, and he was really afraid of losing it in his hand, and he was afraid of melting it in his mouth! Because his wife grew up in a snake catching family, she was fond of eating snake soup, and after Wu An learned about it, he went up the mountain every day to catch snakes for his wife, and made snake soup and brought it to his wife.

Looking at his wife's food, Wu An also felt very happy!

One day, Wu Antian went up the mountain to catch snakes for his wife before dawn, and caught them until noon, but found nothing.

Wu Anxin was overjoyed, and when he looked closer, it was indeed a snake, and it was also a big snake with more than a foot in length! It's just that this snake is a little different from the snake caught in ordinary times, and there is a bulge on the snake's head, like a black crown.

The snake raised its head, hissing and spitting out the snake letter, its eyes flashed with cold light, staring at Wu An tightly, Wu An was not afraid, and stepped forward to cut off the snake's head with a knife. The head of the snake fell to the ground, and its mouth was still open and closed, as if it were about to bite!

Wu An waited for the snake to die, put the snake's head and snake body into a cloth bag, and took down the mountain.

When he returned home, he asked his wife, who had never seen such a strange snake even though she was born in a snake hunting family!

She asked Wu An to take a knife and cut it open, and a ball of flesh fell out of it, like a bead, with a hard texture. The wife took it to her nose and sniffed it, and there was a faint aroma coming out, and the ghost put it in her mouth, wanting to taste it!

Unexpectedly, the meat ball slid straight into the stomach, but it was stuck in the throat, almost choking Wu An's wife to death! After drinking a few bowls of water in a hurry, he finally washed the meat ball down, and was supported by Wu An to sit on the edge of the bed to rest.

After more than an hour, Wu An brought a bowl of snake soup and let his wife drink it to suppress the shock. His wife looked at Wu An with straight eyes, and Wu An felt that his wife's eyes seemed to be a little unfamiliar, but they seemed familiar! Those eyes seemed to reveal a chill, and even made Wu An feel a little frightened!

I just wanted to ask my wife what was wrong and why she kept staring at herself. The wife took the bowl and drank it all, saying that this snake was much more delicious than the others. Wu An was very happy when he saw his wife's praise, and felt that he should have been too careful just now.

But after that, Wu An felt that his wife's behavior was becoming more and more strange, often getting up in the middle of the night to go out, and often returning after an hour or two.

Wu An was curious, followed his wife, and found that his wife was eating a mouse raw in the firewood room, the mouse squeaked in his wife's hand, and his wife swallowed the mouse alive, with a hideous look on her face!

Wu An was terrified! Slowly exited the firewood room and returned to bed, unable to sleep for a long time. After a while, his wife came back and lay down next to Wu An and fell asleep, Wu An looked at his wife, feeling very strange, and felt that his wife was even more terrifying!

Wu An saw that his wife's behavior was very different from before, and he didn't know what was wrong with his wife, so he was extremely depressed! But this kind of thing was not good to talk about to outsiders, so he found his cousin Wu Xiu and poured bitter water on him.

But Wu Xiu didn't know anything about this matter! But he suddenly thought of Luo Hongzi, a master he met during the day, and he felt that since Luo Hongzi could surrender to demons and evils, this kind of thing must be asked of him the most appropriate!

After listening to Wu An's narration, Luo Hongzi pondered for a moment and said: Actually, this is nothing!

As he spoke, he took out a talisman from his bosom and handed it to Wu An, and continued: "This talisman can detect demons and evils, if there is an evil spirit, the talisman will not stop, and the brother can take it home and try it." ”

Wu An said: Can the Taoist go to my house in person? I'm a little scared!

Luo Hongzi sighed and said: Okay, but I still don't come forward first, I will observe in secret, and after you try this charm, you will come out to meet us.

In this way, the group came to Na Wu'an's house. Wu An's wife was not at home, and she didn't return home until evening!

After that, his wife passed by Wu An, and Wu An actually smelled a fishy smell! When he touched his wife's hand, he felt that his hand was cold, not like ordinary human body temperature.....

Wu An made an excuse and came out tremblingly to meet Luo Hongzi and his party. After seeing Luo Hongzi, he knelt on the ground with a puff and said: Dao Chief, save me!
