Chapter Seventy-Six: The Secret of the Hell Tree
A traditional 'Zhang' character that has been eroded by the years is almost invisible, this is obviously the mark left by Zhang Tianxing, I saw Zhang Tianxing's message before, the message said that he had left a mark, so that later generations could find the mark to find the underworld, so I would preconceived when I saw the grimace mark as Zhang Tianxing's mark, and then I have been looking for the rest of the grimaces.
But I never thought that it was not a mark left by Zhang Tianxing, damn it, this is really a cheat!
The Taoist priest knew from my expression that I knew the origin of this mark, so he cast an inquiring glance at me.
Thinking of the underworld, my heart moved, and I asked the priest instead: "Hey, you usually pride yourself on being well-informed, do you know the underworld?" ”
Hearing this, the Taoist priest's face changed, and he looked at me and asked strangely, "Why are you asking this?" ”
"Just tell me if you know!" I was a little impatient with the grinding of the Taoist priests.
The Taoist priest took a deep breath and said: "Boy, you are the right person to ask the underworld, Dao Ye bets that the number of people who know this thing in the world today will definitely not exceed one palm, and these people are all seniors who live in seclusion in the mountains, if it weren't for the fact that Dao Ye was fortunate enough to watch "Heavenly Master Record" back then, it would be impossible to know what the underworld is. ”
When I was in Fengyang, I heard the Taoist priest talk about the strange book "Heavenly Master Record", and I heard that this book recorded some strange stories about a heavenly master surnamed Zhang subduing demons and subduing demons, and the Taoist priest used the content of this book to explain the division of various corpses for us. I was a little excited, according to the Taoist priest, this underworld fetus is not a rare strange thing in the world, maybe it can really work on the curse on my body.
Seeing that the Taoist priest was still boasting about betraying Guanzi, I hurriedly interrupted him: "Come on, I know that Daoist you are awesome, don't grind, say quickly, what is a dead fetus?" ”
When it comes to curses, I dare not slack off, and my expression is very anxious. Seeing me like this, the Taoist priest is also a person who knows the severity, and Zhengse said: "The so-called underworld fetus is actually a kind of essence conceived by heaven and earth, and it is the fetal fruit formed by the legendary Netherworld Corpse Tree absorbing the natural essence, this kind of fetal fruit contains a strong yin qi, and because the Netherworld Corpse Tree communicates with the underworld, there is still a yellow spring breath in the fetal fruit. Legend has it that the Yellow Spring is the place where all the Yin Spirits wash away the evil, and the Underworld contains both a strong Yin Qi and the Yellow Spring, so this kind of Underworld can be used to raise terrifying Yin and Evil Creatures, and can also be used to suppress powerful evil spirits. ”
I took a deep breath, and by this time I was sure that the Fetus was indeed capable of suppressing the curse on me. I told the truth, and the Taoist priest showed a sudden look, but he showed a look of regret, and said: "If there is really a ghost fetus in this world, Hugh said that a small curse of doom is that the ghost door is opened, and a ghost fetus is enough to suppress it, but the ghost corpse tree is a thing in myths and legends, and it only grows in the border area between hell and yang, and it is impossible to find it." ”
The Taoist priest's words made me a little stunned, the Taoist priest said that the underworld fetus grows on the Netherworld Corpse Tree, but Zhang Tianxing said that the Netherworld is in the Hell Tree, and Zhang Tianxing only said that the Netherworld can suppress the curse, but the Taoist priest said that the Netherworld can completely dissolve the curse of the source of doom on my body, is this Netherworld not the other Netherworld? Or was one of the Taoist priests and Zhang Tianxing mistaken?
"Daoist, do you know the Hell Tree?" I couldn't figure out if the Hell Tree and the Nether Corpse Tree were the same thing, so I asked.
The Taoist priest frowned, as if he suddenly thought of something, his face suddenly changed, he looked out of the tree hole in disbelief, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that this is the hell tree that communicates yin and yang?" ”
I was a little surprised, I thought that the Taoist priest was well-informed and had already recognized the origin of this tree, but I didn't expect him to realize it later.
As if seeing my doubts, the Taoist priest sighed and said that he was a big one, and suddenly he was brought here by a sneak attack, and he only saw the corpse cocoon hanging on the tree, but did not see the whole picture of the tree, so he did not think of this possibility for a while.
"Didn't you come down the sinkhole?" I asked, surprised.
The Taoist priest shook his head and said no, he was dragged down from a pitch-black pit by fibrous roots, and he saw countless dried white bones during this time. I shuddered all over, and suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be that the mountains of corpses in the bone cave were actually made by this hell tree?
I felt a chill in my heart, and I hurriedly described the shape of the whole tree to the Taoist priest, in fact, I don't need to describe it too much, just now, the Taoist priest has already seen the scene at the root of the tree.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, hearing you say this, this seems to be really a hell tree!" The Taoist priest looked shocked, still not convinced, and I hurriedly asked him if the Hell Tree and the Nether Corpse Tree were the same kind.
The Taoist priest calmed his mind and explained that the Netherworld Corpse Tree and the Hell Tree are two kinds of spirit trees, and both trees are divine trees that communicate with the underworld, but the Netherworld Corpse Tree survives at the junction of the underworld and the human world, while the Hell Tree is rooted in the yang world, but the root ditch of the tree can lead to hell.
The Hell Tree is extremely terrifying, it has countless sub-roots, these sub-roots are extremely bloodthirsty, can sense the vitality and yang energy of the surrounding places, and the sub-roots in the hunting state can lock on to the target from a long distance, and then quietly follow, inadvertently grab the prey, and then drag it to the main trunk. The flesh of the hunted animal is turned into fertilizer for the growth of the Infernal Tree, providing it with nutrients.
This is a bit like a man-eating flower in the rainforest, but the hell tree in front of you is even more terrifying, the man-eating flower will not be dangerous if you get close to it, but the hell tree is simply a man-eating tree, even if it is far away, it will be preyed on.
I gasped, no wonder these roots are so powerful, not only can they actively attack people, but they can also drag things hundreds or even kilometers away into the sinkhole, which is really terrifying.
"Will the Infernal Tree bear a womb?" I asked the Taoist, this is what I am most concerned about, if I can't find the Soul Fetus, if the curse is not suppressed, it will be a problem for me to even leave here.
"Yes, there is, but the hell tree is far from the real one, and the real role of the hell tree is to communicate with the underworld, to get the opportunity to communicate with the deceased soul, and is usually used as a sacrificial relic, and can even be used to summon some underworld. As for its fetal fruit, few people know about it, because the Hell Tree is so terrifying that if you get close to it, it will be immediately used as nourishment; Second, the fetal fruit of the Hell Tree bears on the inside of the tree, which needs to be more than a hundred years old, and is often fed with flesh and blood to produce a dead fetus, as for whether it can suppress the curse of the source of evil, this is not clear to the Dao Master. ”
I took a deep breath, since Zhang Tianxing's message mentioned the Underworld, and there is indeed his mark here, it means that he must have been here, and even entered the interior of the Hell Tree, and he had to go in anyway.
I took a deep breath,
