Chapter 9: The Ghost Tree (for George Smith)
Xu Shangxian is dead, and I have no worries.
The matter has also been figured out, I can go into the dark mountain and the underworld to rob my relatives.
However, this trip is extremely dangerous, the ghost king of the hidden mountain must be a great ghost king, and he is the law in the underworld, and it is not easy to snatch people from him.
I have to be in a position to do it.
After thinking about it, in the expectant and nervous eyes of everyone, I first told Wang Dong: "Wang Dong, I will enter the underworld today, and you will answer outside." β
"Huh? Brother Li, I also have to go in, otherwise who will carry yellow paper cinnabar for you? Wang Dong immediately objected, he was very cowardly, but at this time he stubbornly wanted to go in.
I smiled, "It's not that you won't be allowed to work, it's just that my strategy requires you to stay outside." β
As I spoke, I went to the car to find my luggage and took out the Immortal Stoneβthe stone I had always carried, it was the most powerful and yang thing, and it was extremely lethal to evil spirits.
"Brother Li, what is the Immortal Stone for? You're going to bring it in? Wang Dong was curious, and Zhang Cheng and they also looked at me.
I shook my head, walked over to the ghost gate by the lake, placed the immortal stone straight on the ground, and began to set up.
All the people did not dare to raise their voices, so as not to disturb me.
After half an hour, my gossip sealing demon formation was arranged, it was not a complicated formation, it was just using the power of gossip to seal demons.
But I was very attentive, and the entire lakeside, with a diameter of nearly ten meters, was shrouded in the Bagua Sealing Demon Array.
This is for the ghost king of the hidden mountain, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.
The Immortal Stone was placed on the Array Eye, and it looked ordinary, but in fact, if it hadn't been controlled by me, it would have sucked up all the yang energy nearby.
After arranging it, I told Zhang Cheng: "You should take care of the immortal stones and formations, and prohibit anyone from approaching the lakeside." When I entered the underworld this time, I wouldn't have a hard time with the ghost king of the hidden mountain, and I escaped when I found Yun Xue and my friend. β
The general strategy is like this, don't fight, only save people, lest you die inside.
"Master Li, don't worry, we will seal off the entire paradise!" Zhang Cheng assured.
I checked the location of the Bagua Sealing Demon Array and the Immortal Stone again, and drew a yang talisman on yellow paper, wrapping it in a trace of my yin and yang qi.
"Wang Dong, after midnight on the 18th, you crush the yellow paper, I can easily determine your location, I have to go back the same way." I handed over the yang talisman to Wang Dong.
Wang Dong carefully put it away and nodded again and again.
I don't have much to say, look at the time, it's past three o'clock in the morning, which is the time when the ghosts are active.
I checked the things on my body, the peach wood sword, the two ghost boxes given by Xu Shangxian, and a vertebrae of the ghost king of the hidden mountain.
Two ghost boxes, one with Yun Xue's hair, one can find Xu Shangxian's informant, and the vertebrae are of great use, so I have to take them with me.
Wang Dong directly gave me a bag and asked me to carry it, and I carried it on my body, properly.
I carried the peachwood sword directly on my back, and I used too clear yin qi to shield the breath of these things, and ordinary ghosts could not detect their abnormality.
When everything was ready, I opened the ghost door and jumped in.
"Brother Li (Master Li), be careful!" Everyone looked nervous, for fear that something would happen to me.
As soon as I entered the underworld, I immediately cleared the ghosts, and the ghost gate behind me slowly closed.
In front of me are still barren mountains and mountains, everywhere is bare and gloomy, and there is no edge in sight.
If there is a jungle in this underworld, then I am equivalent to being in a primeval forest.
I didn't walk around, not because I was afraid of ghosts, but because I was afraid of getting lost.
I opened Xu Shangxian's ghost raising box directly, and suddenly there was a strange yin qi wafting.
I waited in place, until my legs were sore, and finally a ghost appeared in front of me.
It floated back and forth, saying fast or not, slow or not, and it was a girl, but about fifteen years old, not much older than Yun Xue.
But she has a mature face, and I feel that she is very smart, and her face is round and cute, unlike ordinary ghosts, ugly and fierce.
When she floated closer, I was about to speak, when she suddenly looked at the ghost in my hand and laughed, laughing very heartily, and muttering something in her mouth.
I typed out the psychic talisman and immediately understood, she was scolding Xu Shangxian.
"Dead, finally dead, I'm free, haha, I'm free, old immortal thing, dead!" The little girl was so happy.
She has a strong aura on her body, but it is not heavy, and she has not formed a strong ghost appearance at all, and she can communicate normally.
"Little sister, I killed Xu Shangxian, you can take me to find Yunxue." I got straight to the point.
The little girl looked up at me: "Give me the ghost box." β
I handed it to her, and she used both hands so hard that she broke the ghost box directly.
Then she laughed again: "Free, free!" β
As soon as the figure flashed, she drifted away, where did she pay attention to me?
I thought to myself that I was a little stupid, why did I give her the ghost box? Where will she take care of me when she's free?
I hurriedly used my magic skills, dodged to catch up, and ran after her.
She stopped to look at me, finally gave up a second look, and then said strangely, "You are also a ghost, why are you running like this?" Like an individual. β
I was speechless and said perfunctorily: "I just died, and I haven't changed yet." I died to kill Xu Shangxian, and I am a Taoist priest who supports justice. β
"Really?" The little girl was still innocent and began to believe.
"Yes, Xu Shangxian said that you are in the underworld, I came to you on purpose and gave you all the ghost boxes, I hope you will take me to find Yunxue, just that bride." I flickered.
"The bride is not Yun Xue, she is a demon, she is so beautiful, she has fascinated the people of the entire Hades Temple." The little girl exclaimed.
I was overjoyed, it seems that the little girl really knows the way.
"You take me to that temple of the underworld, and in the future, I will find someone to overtake you and let you be reincarnated." I gave extremely tempting conditions.
The little girl thought for a while and stretched out a finger: "I don't want to be reincarnated, it's so fun to be a ghost, I don't want to be beaten to death by my parents again." You burn me paper money, this number. β
I looked at one of her fingers and wondered, "How much?" β
"A ton."
Burst!
It's too much.
Although this little sister is very pitiful and was beaten to death by her parents, it is really too much to ask for a ton of paper money.
"A hundred pounds at most." I also gave the number.
She immediately agreed: "Okay, remember to burn it for me when you go out, my name is Wang Xiaotao, and I live in 1603, Building 11, Yongsheng Central City, Xiangxi, you just go to the grave and burn it." β
She was quite detailed.
I said okay, and she pointed north: "Let's go this way, it'll be there in about an hour." β
I immediately asked her to lead the way, and I followed.
She floated up, without looking back, all the way north.
We quickly left the barren mountains and went to the place where the ghosts were gathered.
These places have rivers and flat land, but they are lifeless and lifeless everywhere.
The ghosts floated aimlessly, and I didn't know what it meant to float like this.
However, as we progressed, the ghosts around us began to become vicious, and some of them were terrifying.
They catch the imps and eat them, and they are scary to watch.
Xiao Tao began to be afraid, and kept leading me to remote places, and sometimes even drilled holes.
For nearly an hour, there was a light ahead.
It was not the sun's light, but a strange and cold light, like a ghost fire, miserable and white.
After a little further advancement, all sides were bright, and the white light illuminated the underworld.
I've finally seen the source of the light.
That's a tree on the horizon!
A towering willow tree, erected on the bare horizon, was terrifyingly tall, its branches hanging down at the roots, and the white light condensed on it like a light bulb.
It's so weird, there is a willow tree in the underworld, and there is a "light bulb"!
"The ghost here is called the Ghost Tree, it is a big willow tree in the world, it has lived for hundreds of years, and then it has come to life, and it grows on a tomb mountain, so it is becoming more and more evil. Later, I don't know who dug it up, and it was brought into the underworld, and it took root. Xiao Tao explained.
I knew at the moment that it was a willow tree that was a living creature in the grave mountain, no wonder it could adapt to the air of the underworld.
It's actually a kind of ghost, but it's not an animal, it's a plant.
It's rare, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work.
Just like the plant Gu corpse fragrant flower, the entire Miao Jiang can't find a second flower, but it exists, and it also gave birth to Xiaobai.
We moved on, getting closer and closer to the Ghost Tree.
I also felt its amazing yin energy, it has been rooted here for I don't know how long, every tree is yin energy, and it has been glowing with a miserable white light.
I have never seen such a strong yin qi, even Tang Xi's pocket watch yin qi is less than one percent of this big willow tree!
