Chapter 187: Taoist Temple in the Mountains

A fishy smell came from a broken wall, Ye Dong frowned and flew over, docked on an ancient dragon claw locust tree not far away, Ye Dong did not approach the broken wall, because just now a small bird flew by, and was sucked into the broken wall at once, only to see a stream of bird feathers then spewed out from the broken wall.

There must be something strange in this place, Ye Dong waited quietly, judging from the time of death of those dead people and animals, this unknown thing will make waves every few days, it has been quiet for a long time, no one has died in the past few days, and it seems that it is almost time.

Just when Ye Dong was impatient and about to leave, a cool faint aroma wafted out from the broken wall, and the fishy smell around him was washed away.

There are several golden rays of light faintly on the broken wall, Ye Dong can't see clearly because he is too far away, the sky is gradually changing, it is almost dawn, and the darkness before dawn makes the atmosphere here even more weird.

As the sky brightened, Ye Dong did not wait for any monsters to come out, the broken wall was unusually quiet, Ye Dong's divine sense expanded, but he did not go to investigate the broken wall, but searched for the surrounding qiē.

"It's strange, it is secretly said that it should belong to the hinterland of Shimen Mountain, but there are no bird calls at night and during the day, and there are no small animals around." Ye Dong muttered to himself.

What is it that makes even animals here dare not step lightly, Ye Dong summoned the source of the fire spirit and the source of the wood spirit to roughly explain the situation.

"What are you doing so much, you get out of the way, just let me burn this place in one go, no matter what monster it is." The little fire spirit said that he was going to breathe fire.

"No, this is the Shimen Mountain Range, if you go down with this fire, I'm afraid that even the entire county will be burned down, so let me try it." The little wood spirit said.

"It's a good thing, it's a primeval forest, maybe it's more handy for you." Ye Dong nodded, the little fire spirit idea is too domineering, although it is simple and direct, but it does not take into account the secondary disasters, not to mention that it is not clear, it is too abrupt to do it rashly, in case there is a guy who can't deal with it, then there is some play, or the little wood spirit is more with Ye Dong's mind, knowing himself and knowing the other party can win all battles.

With the output of the little wood spirit's energy, the surrounding plants seemed to feel the majestic vitality, and they responded as if they were alive.

Ye Dong didn't know how the little wood spirit communicated with the surrounding plants, but this moment did resonate, and even he was extremely eager to become these trees and flowers, Ye Dong hurriedly guarded his mind.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Mujing opened his eyes, rolled his eyes, and said to Ye Dong: "Send me back to the ring, there is nothing abnormal outside, you should get out of here quickly!"

"Nothing unusual? There is obviously ......" Ye Dong pointed towards the stone crack in the stone wall, and the next moment Ye Dong had no words, because a huge head had appeared in front of Ye Dong's eyes.

"This ......" Ye Dong clearly saw a huge monster with a head like a snake and a dinosaur, with toes, it was trying to climb out of the stone crack, and one of its claws had already poked out.

Ye Dong transported the energy in his body, and slashed it all over with one palm, and the palm wind smashed directly on the stone wall, and he wanted to smash a stone to fill in the exit to delay the time so that he could leave quickly, but ten pieces smashed on the monster's head.

The monster let out a strange cry that resounded through the world on the spot, Ye Dong himself regretted dying, and hurriedly pulled up the little wood spirit and fled to the deep mountains.

"You provoked it, master, your skill release is too lethal." The little wood spirit said as he ran away, and Ye Dong replied: "Come on, it wasn't what I hit in the first place, I haven't asked you yet, what happened just now, how could it crawl out fiercely?"

After walking for more than half an hour, Ye Dong and Xiao Mu Jing stopped, and the two of them sat on the ground panting, all the way in order to get rid of the unknown monster, they didn't use the ability, if they did, the energy fluctuation might attract the attention of the monster, I don't know if the monster can be tracked through the ability fluctuation, but Ye Dong didn't want to risk trying.

"Master, why don't you stop and fight it to the death, with our Five Elements Essence Source, there is no problem in dealing with it, how faceless it is to spread it after escaping like this."

Ye Dong walked over and shook the little wood spirit's head: "What are you thinking about this head melon?" Legend has it that you are very old, why are you still a child? ”

"I don't know, I only know that I have to sleep once every 10,000 years, and I don't remember anything when I wake up, the five elements essence source is like this, but there is the impression of the master in my memory, and every time we wake up, we will go to the master as soon as possible." Little Wood Spirit said.

"So, the little earth spirit is still sleeping? Then the little golden spirit may also be sleeping. Ye Dong said.

"I don't know, but the earth spirit monster was indeed injured before it fell asleep......" The little wood spirit told Ye Dong everything he could know.

"It's an animal, it's not a plant after all, I knew I wouldn't let you go at the beginning, this angered it, looking at its appearance, it was clearly a mutation of an animal on land, I don't know what made it produce this effect......" Ye Dong and the little wood spirit left the monster's sensing range and finally came safe.

"Master, I feel something strange in the crack of the stone where the monster is located, there is some material in the air that does not belong to this world, maybe it is that substance that makes the monster mutate, but there is life in the crack of the stone, I am sure there is life in it, maybe it is a group of monsters, maybe it is something else!"

Ye Dong also felt inexplicable, the more he wanted to understand, the more confused his thoughts became, and he couldn't find anything in Xunyi City, the only way was to investigate again.

"Don't talk about this, let's take a rest first, there seems to be an ancient Taoist temple in front, let's go and see, maybe there will be some gains, after all, the monster is chasing here, so don't chase it, maybe there is something it is afraid of." Ye Dong and Xiao Mu Jing walked towards the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple that catches your eye is really dilapidated, the houses are in disrepair, the ground is overgrown with weeds, and at a glance, you can see that there are no people living here at all, and cobwebs are everywhere.

Ye Dong pushed the door into the Taoist temple, there is a very old ginkgo tree in the center of the courtyard, the body of the tree is about seven or eight adults to be able to hold, the crown of the tree is no longer leafy, the three main trunks extend in different directions, as if to break the sky of heaven and earth, but unfortunately the body of the body dies first before the firmament is broken.

"Huh? Strange, strange, this tree is so strange. The little wood spirit scratched his head, very puzzled.

Ye Dong looked at the little wood spirit: "What's wrong?" What did you find? I didn't sense anything strange just now, did you find something? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that this tree is so strange, it's dead but it still exudes a lot of life, but it's flickering and elusive."

When Xiao Mu Jing said this, Ye Dong was also a little curious, he approached the withered ginkgo tree, flew up and landed on the tree, and the center of the tree was hollowed out by as much as half an inch.

"Little wood spirit, come up, you see there's something strange here." Ye Dong shouted, and a vine grew under the feet of the little wood spirit and lifted him into the air.

"Wow! I said, why is it so strange, it turned out to be a backflow of vitality, do you see the hollowed-out pit, is there liquid flowing in it?" The little wood spirit pointed.

Ye Dong observed carefully, and sure enough, there was liquid flowing, but it was too little, if it wasn't for the little wood spirit to remind him, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"Master, hurry up and collect some, this is a good thing, if it is alchemy, add some, it can make the pill rejuvenate and stabilize the efficacy, and it is the main material of the Dingyan Bead, the Dingyan Bead is made of the solid glue defective material of this vitality liquid and other materials."

"What do you mean? You're saying it's going to be solid?" Ye Dong was a little puzzled.

"No, it itself will not change, but after being polluted by the outside world, it will reduce the efficacy, and it will become solid, a lot of solids, but very few liquids, master, have you stepped on shit in this temple? Good luck. ”

"Little bastard, how do you speak? Tell me how to collect this liquid. Ye Dong was naturally pleased.

"I'll do this kind of rough work, you come down, in fact, we are unlucky, this Taoist temple must have been full of aura before, just because this tree withered, so there are no cultivators, didn't you notice that the body of the tree seems to have been cut off by a sharp weapon?"

Hearing what the little wood spirit said, Ye Dong noticed that the tree did not wither naturally at all, it really looked like it had been cut off, and there were visible paw prints on the top of the tree.

"Little wood spirit, are you alright?" Ye Dong saw that the little wood spirit was staring at the dead tree with wide eyes, and he asked out loud.

"Master, it seems that we can't collect this organic fluid, because I found that there is something abnormal on this dead branch, you should take a look." The little wood spirit said slowly without blinking his eyes.

"Anything is abnormal, I'll see." Ye Dong flew up, there was a bulge on the top of the tree, Ye Dong took a closer look, and his eyes looked at the little wood spirit.

"Dead wood in spring, master, this vitality liquid actually flowed backwards to give birth to a young shoot, it is better to transplant it into the immortal ring, it will be repaired one day, if that is the case, the immortal ring must be aura, and the earth spirit monster will naturally recover faster."

"But is it really good for us to dig this tree? What's the difference between this and stealing, this tree belongs to this temple, what's the difference between us doing this and robbers?" Ye Dong opened his mouth and said.

"Master, there is no one in the Taoist temple, no one is an ownerless thing, and the ownerless thing is naturally seen by whom."

"No, this is a Taoist temple, then there will be a sculpture clay statue in the Taoist temple, and the one who enshrines it must be the ancestor in the original Taoist hall, we haven't seen the master, but we can say to their ancestor that this tree is left here and no one takes care of it, let's take care of them first, and there will be time in the future to have the opportunity to wait for the tree to fully recover and then return it."

"The master is smart, this is not a theft, it is not a loan, we take care of this tree for free, we are really good people." Kogi Spiritle laughed.

Ye Dong said and walked into the main hall of the Taoist temple, there was no clay statue, only a tattered portrait hanging on it, Ye Dong hugged his fists and said: "Presumably you are the patriarch of this Taoist temple, the tree in the courtyard is about to wither, I will take care of you for a while, and I will return it to you when it has the opportunity."

After Ye Dong finished speaking, he turned around and moved his mind, and put the ginkgo tree into the immortal ring, and suddenly the painting automatically flew out and rushed towards the ginkgo tree, but after all, it was a step too late, and the tree was no longer visible.

The portrait burned, and a vague figure appeared: "Hmph! A bold fanatic, he actually dared to rob me of Dong Yan Shenjun's things. ”

At this moment, a voice sounded in Ye Dong's head: "Presumptuous, I am the Law God Beibei, do you know who is in front of you?" It's really blind to your cultivation. ”

Ye Dong had been looking forward to the Dharma God Bei Bei suddenly appeared, and he was about to ask the Law God Bei Bei about something, but he knew that he was going to be disappointed again, and that guy was silent again.

The phantom of his eyes looked at Ye Dong with excitement, discomfort and unwillingness, his expression was very painful, and finally he said to Ye Dong normally: "If you want to know about things in the mountains, you have to ask the woodcutter." After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.
