I said calmly: "From the last night, when I met with the old man Bai Hongru, I found that Liu Chongjing had a yin and evil aura on his body. ”

"This evil aura is generally the same as that of the undead, and coupled with the fact that he speaks in a sluggish manner, I guess that he has been bought by the undead."

"Liu Chongjing is very smart, he already has part of his immortal power, he can't fall off the cliff at all, he was jumped off the cliff by Bai Hongru, and the panic was completely faked."

After I said this, Liu Chongjing was shocked at first, and then looked at me with horror in his eyes.

was equally surprised by him, as well as Dai Tianqing.

"You knew it beforehand, so why didn't you tell us!?"

"For when I know it, the undead have surrounded us. As for what happened later, I could only block it with soldiers and cover it with water. ”

Dai Tianqing grabbed Liu Chongjing's hair and put the knife against his neck, his pretty face full of disgust.

"It's this kind of miscellaneous that ruined Bai Lao's reputation!"

"Bai Lao has a spirit in the sky, he must have thundered this beast!"

recalled that before jumping off the cliff, Bai Hongru had a reluctant look in his eyes, and I said in a deep voice: "If you want to kill, Bai Hongru will not jump off the cliff with him." ”

Dai Tianqing's expression was slightly cold, "What do you mean by this?" ”

I explained: "Liu Chongjing has been following Bai Hongru since he was eight years old, pretending to be crazy and stupid, and almost isolated from the world except for raising a group of four-eyed spirit children. ”

"Bai Hongru is an extremely smart person, from my words and Liu Chongjing's performance, I can see that he has a ghost in his heart."

"So when I escaped from the Patrol Bureau, Bai Hongru begged me to spare Liu Chongjing's life."

It is estimated that in Dai Tianqing's heart, Bai Hongru's image is unusually tall, so he retorted me and said: "Bai Lao was soft-hearted before, and then he didn't jump off the cliff with him to atone for his sins!" ”

"Jumping off the cliff is not to atone for your sins, but to save Liu Chongjing's life."

I said: "Liu Chongjing is immortal, jumping off the cliff is not enough to fall to death, but can hide people......'s eyes and ears."

"Whatever you say, in my mind, Bai Lao will never save Liu Chongjing from such a miscellaneous piece!"

Dai Tianqing interrupted my words angrily, picked up his sword and was about to slash, "Since Bai Lao failed to kill him, I will cut this beast for him!" ”

"Don't kill him yet, it's useful to keep him."

I hurriedly grabbed Dai Tianqing's arm, and leaned down to ask Liu Chongjing, "Why did you come here with us?" ”

Liu Chongjing stared greedily at the direction of the trunk porcelain bowl, licked his lips and did not speak.

I untied the ropes on Liu Chongjing's body and said calmly: "For Bai Hongru's sake, I won't kill you." ”

The moment he was let go, Liu Chongjing subconsciously turned around to run, but turned his head again, looking at the dark green liquid in the bowl reluctantly.

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Chongjing pointed to the white jade bowl worriedly, "Can you give me a drop of the contents of the bowl?" ”

I smiled and said, "As long as you tell me the truth, the whole bowl will be given to you." ”

"Really!?"

"Absolutely."

Liu Chongjing made an open-minded look, "Ask, as long as I know, I will tell you everything!" ”

"Why did you betray Bai Hongru?"

In the face of desire, Liu Chongjing had no shame, and said without thinking: "I have had enough of the days of living in a chicken coop with Bai Hongru and pretending to be a madman!" ”

"Besides, he is almost ninety years old this year, and if he dies, I have no power to protect myself in front of a group of undead."

"That group of commanders promised that as long as I found out the list of traitors, I would be completely immortal, and they were willing to pay 50 million to let me go to other places for development."

"Second question, you clearly have a chance to escape, why do you risk following me?"

Liu Chongjing swallowed his dry saliva and pointed to the white jade bowl in front of him, "A drop of liquid there can turn a full ten parts of the elixir!" ”

"Before I took refuge in the immortals, they only gave me half of it, and I can't live forever."

"I know that the key is in the body of the ancestor corpse, and the source of the elixir is in the mountains, but everything is in your hands, and I can only secretly follow behind."

Liu Chongjing's words are also the reason why I let him follow me up the mountain.

As a traitor, Liu Chongjing knows too much about the secrets of the undead, and he has been secretly following us behind him, which proves that he is not on the wrong path.

Liu Chongjing cautiously asked, "Now, can I go and get the immortal medicine?" ”

"Yes."

With my permission, Liu Chongjing rushed to the trunk of the tree like crazy, picked up the white jade bowl and drank it up.

After drinking, Liu Chongjing also stretched out his tongue and licked the bottom of the bowl, looking unsatisfied.

Dai Tianqing asked urgently: "You just gave him the elixir of immortality!?" ”

I made a shush gesture and lowered my voice: "I have a bold guess about the so-called elixir of immortality, but someone must test the medicine to confirm it. ”

"You deliberately tricked Liu Chongjing to test the medicine!?"

"It's because he has to drink the elixir of immortality, and it has nothing to do with me."

Suddenly, Liu Chongjing's skin was dry and cracked, as if he was burning a fire, and he desperately rushed to Dai Tianqing, pointing at his throat madly.

Dai Tianqing was taken aback, and subconsciously drew his sword to slash, but I held down his arm.

"Don't be afraid, he's running out of oil."

Liu Chongjing suddenly snatched the marching pot hanging from Dai Tianqing's waist, put his lips to the mouth of the pot, and poured it into his stomach.

After drinking a whole pot of water, Liu Chongjing dropped the bottle, knelt down in front of me, pointed to his throat, and said in a dry and hoarse voice: "Thirsty, water ......"

"Drinking water is useless to you."

Liu Chongjing hugged my leg and shouted in an almost pleading voice: "Water! ”

I'm still indifferent to that.

Tick – tick – tick –

The sound of running water sounded, and Liu Chongjing looked in ecstasy in the direction where the sound of water came from, but he looked down and saw that his abdomen had been cracked.

The trickle is flowing out of Liu Chongjing's stomach.

After a few breaths, Liu Chongjing's body crackled, and his body cracked like a porcelain, turning into fragments.

Dai Tianqing's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment, "This ...... What the hell is going on!? ”

I explained, "What is coming out of the trunk of the tree is not an elixir, but a toxin in the tree's body. ”

As I spoke, I stained my fingertips with a little toxin and put it on the tip of my nose to sniff it.

The tree is an earth spirit, and the contents of the liquid are full of eroded power, which is the opposite of the nutrients required by the tree spirit.

And the toxins in the body of the tree spirit happen to be able to poison people's souls, so that the body and soul are bonded together.

For poisoned people, the physical strength will increase greatly in a short period of time, but the soul will weaken extremely quickly, and it seems to be immortal, and the damage to the physical body can be restored extremely quickly.

But the soul weakens rapidly over time, and once the balance is broken, it needs the same kind of flesh and blood to nourish itself.

Even if there is flesh and blood to support the operation of energy, the soul will be infected by the power of blood, gradually become violent and perverse, and eventually fall into madness.

Just as when I first saw Yuejing New District, I felt that the people here had anger in their eyes, and they were infected by the power of blood.

Dai Tianqing casually broke open a piece of dead bark and said suspiciously: "You mean, this tree is not dead yet?" ”

"This tree was revived about twenty years ago, and in order to replenish its own nutrients, it drained the water and wood elements within a radius of fifty miles."

"As a result, the underground river dried up, the mountains on both sides collapsed and buried the river and the Tang Temple, the grass and trees in the surrounding mountains withered, and the Yuejing Mountain became a dead land."

Dai Tianqing nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder there are aborigines in such a desolate and barren place." ”

"But you've come full circle just to find a dead tree?"

Before the words fell, Zhao Huan, who was tied to a wheelchair, suddenly had his eyes lit up, and he struggled frantically and shouted, "Immortals, I feel the existence of immortals!" ”

"Let me go!"

I instructed Mo Ruchu, "Untie the rope." ”

Let's do it—

The rope that wrapped around Zhao Huan was disconnected from the brush, and Zhao Huan seemed to be crazy, crawling to the side of the tree trunk with a rolling belt, and put his hand into the soil and pulled wildly.

Due to Zhao Huan's weak body, coupled with the fact that the ground was dry and hard and full of gravel, he was panting terribly, and his hands were covered with blood, as if he was about to faint at any time.

Dai Tianqing noticed that something was wrong, "There seems to be something buried underneath here, otherwise we will help him dig together?" ”

I said solemnly: "This soil must not be touched!" ”
