Chapter 14: The Old Locust Tree

"Nothing, just checked some information. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info unfortunately I didn't find it. ”

"Oh, what information? I'll take a look. Xia Yulin propped his left hand on the table and slid the mouse with his right hand, "Are you looking for something about the old locust tree?" ”

"yes, but there's nothing useful in the library." Jiang Wang suddenly thought that Xia Yulin had worked in the Wumeng for many years, and maybe he knew something, so he asked, "Uncle Xia, do you know what would happen if an old locust tree absorbed a large amount of yin qi and the souls of thirty-six people at the same time?" ”

"Huh? What do you say, old locust tree? Or is it an old locust tree that has absorbed both the evil spirit and the soul? Xia Yulin's face was shocked, and there was a trace of horror in the depths of his eyes.

"yes. An old locust tree that may have absorbed a large amount of yin and evil qi and thirty-six souls for two or three hundred years is on the way to Hangzhou today. Jiang Wang didn't understand Xia Yulin's mood, but just told his experience and guesses.

"It's going to be a big deal......"

It turns out that a tree species like the locust tree is born to absorb yin qi and store it in its own body, and if there is a human or animal corpse buried nearby, its soul is likely to be absorbed by these trees, or the soul actively attaches itself to it in order to stay in the world for a long time. It's just that after all, yin and yang are separated, and the soul stays in the yang world for a long time, and there are no exercises or treasures to protect it, the mind will gradually dissipate, and it will become a lonely soul and wild ghost who can only act on instinct or a wood spirit of this kind of extreme yin wood.

If you devour thirty-five souls again, and fuse with the wood spirit, you will have the possibility of turning into a demon after absorbing a large amount of yin energy, as long as you go through a three-nine thunder tribulation again, you can condense the Yuan Dan, successfully transform the demon, and be able to transform into a human form (transformation and transformation are different, transformation is like those little demons in Journey to the West, they all have their original characteristics, and if you want to exert all your strength, you have to change back to your original form; Transformation refers to the demon body after the four nine thunder tribulations of the refinement, molded into a human body, and the same as the human body, even the organs and meridians in the body are the same, and the strength is not much different from the original form). Once the demon transformation is successful, the strength of these wood spirits depends on the species, and at least they have the early stage of innate qi cultivation.

According to Jiang Wang's description, this old locust tree still absorbs the essence of human beings after smashing and devouring the soul, and it is likely that it is affected by the original sentence "After the founding of the country, you are not allowed to become a demon", and you are not sure about the upcoming thunder tribulation. If this is the case, there is hope that it will be eradicated.

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, you are not allowed to become a demon", this sentence is not just a saying, especially in densely populated large cities, there is no possibility of turning into a demon at all, the lower the population density, the weaker the impact of this sentence, in the deep mountains and old forests, even only a minimal effect, so that there are already some intelligent species will not easily attack humans.

After turning into a demon, it will also be suppressed by the will of humanity, also according to the density of the population, for example: a cat demon in the late stage of Qi training, in the forest and grassland and other places where no one is around, can exert 100% strength, but when it reaches a village of about 200 households, it may only be able to use the power of the early stage of Qi training, and in the big city, it can retain at most 30% (the later stage of the transformation of energy) of the power, if you can maintain a human form in the capital, it is already very good.

According to Jiang Wang's speculation, it is not difficult to guess that this old locust tree has reached the edge of turning into a demon, and it may attract thunder tribulation at any time. The body of the old locust tree should have the strength to transform into a perfect body, coupled with the influence of the yin soul and the yin evil qi on the divine soul, it is not feasible to clean up such a wood spirit with the power of the Zhejiang branch alone, this matter must be reported to the headquarters of the Beijing Martial Arts League, and let them contact the masters of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism to come together. After all, "there is a specialization in the art industry", and it is better to deal with these demons and monsters or professionals like them.

But the top priority is to go to the scene to check the reality, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing. All this is still just Jiang Wang's speculation and conjecture, and it is not enough to be the evidence to report to the headquarters.

"You take a rest first, I'll go find a few old friends, and let's go to the scene early tomorrow morning to see this old locust tree." Xia Yulin patted Jiang Wang's shoulder, and then said.

"Okay." Jiang Wang naturally had no opinion, he also wanted to see what this old locust tree that was about to turn into a demon looked like.

——————————————————————

The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Wanggang was eating breakfast after exercising, xiaolongbao, fried dough sticks and porridge. After Xia Yulin walked in, he didn't say a word, just sat down on the chair opposite Jiang Wang, picked up the bun and stuffed it into his mouth, it seemed that he didn't eat breakfast this morning. Jiang Wang had no choice but to ask the waiter to serve another one as it was.

"Uncle Xia, what's wrong with you? Who are you looking for? Jiang Wang was still very curious that Xia Yulin would find those masters, after all, what they were going to face today was the wood spirit who was about to turn into a demon, although they were just going to check it out, not fighting, but no one dared to guarantee that there would be no accidents.

Xia Yulin had already swallowed a basket of xiaolongbao, and when he heard this, he raised his head and looked around, then pointed in the direction of the door and said, "Well, that's not coming." Hi! Over here! The latter sentence was shouted at the door.

Jiang Wang turned his head to look at the door, only to see Monk Jingguang walking behind a monk. The monk was dressed in a yellow monk's robe, wearing a golden and red robe on the outside, about fifty or sixty years old, with a bright scalp, a nine-point ring scar in the center, a short beard and long eyebrows, and a bright eye; The Taoist priest has a peach hairpin on his head, is dressed in a cyan robe, has a gossip pattern on his left chest, and embroiders hexagrams on the cuffs and placket of his sleeves.

Jiang Wang hurriedly got up and greeted the three of them.

"Amitabha."

"Amitayus."

Before Jiang Wang could salute, the monk came to sing first.

"I've seen the master, I've seen the Taoist." Jiang Wang hurriedly saluted.

"Brother Jiang, this is the Qingling Elder of the Daoji Hall of my Lingyin Temple, and this is the Daoist Elder Cao Yuyang of the Baopu Daoist Institute in Hangzhou, and he is also a friend of the Elder. Elder, Dao Chief, this is Jiang Wangjiang Donor. Monk Jingguang walked to the side and introduced the two sides.

"The elder is good, the Taoist is good." Jiang Wang.

"Hello Jiang donor." Elder Qingling.

"Jiang Xiaoyou doesn't have to be polite." Cao Yuyang is the head of the road.

"Okay, you're not tired, aren't you done? Sit down, eat and drink enough and go. Xia Yulin, who was still eating breakfast, couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly interrupted them.

The four of them sat down, and the monk Jingguang asked the waiter to serve some more food, and everyone stopped talking and buried their heads in solving breakfast.

————————————————————

"The feng shui here was originally good, but unfortunately it was artificially altered, and the anode became yin, which turned into a big murderous situation. Fortunately, there are no people within five miles of here, otherwise I am afraid that this old locust tree would have turned into a demon a long time ago, and even had already turned into a demon. Two hours later, Jiang Wang and the others finally rushed to the mouth of the tunnel with preparation, and after Cao Yuyang carefully observed for an hour, they said the above words.

"Amitabha. Yes, the yin and evil qi in this place is too strong, and ordinary people can easily be affected by it here, fall into a dream, see the things they want most or fear the most, and thus be invaded by the old locust tree to absorb the essence and energy. We're standing far away now, and we have true qi or treasure protection, but it's nothing, but once we get closer, I don't know if we can withstand it? Elder Qingling followed up and said his own judgment.

At this time, they were all on a hillside on the side of the hill where the tunnel was located, and it was almost noon, and although the sun was strong overhead, several of them still felt a little cold, not from the physical senses, but from the spirit.

Jiang Wang and Monk Jingguang stood together, the two of them were juniors, and they were not familiar with this kind of thing, so they could only observe around, deal with things in time, and not cause trouble to a few people.

At this time, Daoist Cao Yuyang suddenly took out a stack of rune paper from the sleeve of the Taoist robe, on which some runes were depicted with cinnabar, which is a common Taoist rune, and the role of the rune is different according to the different runes drawn. What Daoist Cao Yuyang took out at this time must have been a talisman for destroying evil spirits and eliminating evil.

"Be careful, everyone, I'll try." Saying that, he raised his sword in his right hand and pointed at the talisman to inject the true qi into the talisman in his left hand, and eight talismans flew up out of thin air, forming a circle around the chest of Cao Yuyang Dao Chang, and automatically rotated, and then the sword pointed a little in the direction of the old locust tree, and his mouth read at the same time, "I will lead the three yuan into the Kan Palace, and ascend to the heavens." Returning to Zhenque across the green dragon, I have experienced a thousand times to redeem my life. Kun Yu left the horse and ran to the wind, and the first three canopies were in the middle. Haste as a law. I saw eight talismans with various colors of light flying towards the old locust tree, and evolved into a wheel-sized gossip pattern halfway through.

As the gossip map approached, the old locust tree seemed to feel the danger, and a thick branch moved, and its body was filled with a thick yin and evil aura, draped heavily on the gossip map composed of talismans.

Only heard the two sounds of "pop" and "bang", the gossip map in the air was gone, and the eight talismans burned by themselves. Compared to the Bagua diagram, the locust branch did not get any benefit, except for a one-meter-long section close to the trunk, all other parts of the branch had disappeared, and the yin qi also dissipated under the subsequent burning of the talisman.

Daoist Cao Yuyang suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, his body shook for a while, Elder Qingling hurriedly stepped forward to support him, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill the size of a soybean, fed it to Daoist Cao Yuyang's mouth, and asked, "Old Daoist, how are you?" ”

"I'm fine, it's just that the Dao Law is backlashing, it's good to take a rest, it's just that we seem to be in big trouble." Daoist Cao Yuyang's voice was still quite loud, and it seemed that he was indeed not seriously injured.

Just when the words fell, everyone seemed to hear a scream, Jiang Wang snorted, only to feel that his head was as if he had been hit with a stick, he was dizzy, and his ears were temporarily deaf.

When he comes to his senses, he will see ......
