Chapter 94: Bloodwood and the Mass Grave
At this time, the pumpkin sitting next to me pushed me with his hand and whispered to me: "Brother Qin, it is still important for you to cultivate mana, my affairs are not in a hurry first, didn't Daochang Jiang say that even if the 'poison of green water' breaks out, it will take half a year?" ...... Time is still long, we can slowly find the silver ring grass. ”
He could have thought about it, but I didn't want to drag it out that long. Sometimes, when something drags on for a long time, and when you want to complete it, you find that you don't have enough time, or other situations arise.
But the old man Qi Zhenhai also made it very clear that he didn't have silver ring grass at all.
And the silver ring grass is the key to breaking the "poison of green water".
Although I was a little disappointed in my heart, I still said to Qi Zhenhai: "Forget it, senior, since you can't solve my brother's poison, I won't trouble you...... Then what you said, you can help me cultivate mana, is this true? ”
Qi Zhenhai smiled slightly, with a bright look in his eyes, nodded, and replied, "Not bad!" I have a way to help you cultivate your mana as soon as possible! And it's very short, just a few days. ”
After receiving his affirmative answer, I hurriedly asked, "Senior, what way?" ”
But this old fellow stroked his beard and sold me a guanzi. That face had a plausible expression, and it really looked a little underwhelming.
"Senior, why don't you speak?"
I asked, squinting. In fact, I have a little anger in my heart, I am afraid that this old man Qi Zhenhai will make fun of the three of us.
Qi Zhenhai still didn't answer my words, stood up, bent his waist, put his hands behind his back, and circled around the round table a few times. Grandma's, my eyes are almost gone.
"Old guy, didn't you hear what my Brother Qin said, or did you not want to answer at all!?"
Pumpkin stood up, glared at the old man Qi Zhenhai angrily, and rushed up to clean him up.
I hurriedly reassured the pumpkin: "Don't worry, the seniors may have some concerns." ”
But my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou stood on the side, and he understood a little. He stared at the old man Qi Zhenhai with displeasure, and said in a deep voice: "Senior, you shouldn't want to blackmail us, right?" ”
Qi Zhenhai finally spoke.
He smiled and replied, "How can it be considered a threat, I do have something to ask this little brother." He looked at me and said he had something to ask me for.
"As long as you promise me, little brother, I can help you cultivate mana later!"
Grandma's, isn't this a threat? It's simply the coercion of Chiguoguo!
I looked ugly and asked him, "Tell me what it is and see if I can do it." No, I promised you something, and then you asked me to kill someone, and I had to do it. ”
Hehe, the old man Qi Zhenhai licked his face and shook his head: "It's not a murderous thing, and the old man won't do this kind of thing!" ... The old man wanted to ask the little brother to do me a favor and help me save someone. ”
"Save people, save whom?" I asked.
"An old man's deceased is the one I mentioned to you earlier, the one who is also the body of Tian Yuan like you. And little brother, your Tianyuan body has not been completely opened, and you can't help me now. However, as long as you promise me this, I will help you cultivate your mana as soon as possible. ”
"This is an agreement between us, and we will never let you do anything that hurts God and reason, harms others and is not beneficial to yourself! I hope the little brother will think about it. ”
Forehead!
Is there still such a good thing? With just an agreement, he can help me.
But there are pros and cons in everything, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to save the person who has that Tianyuan body.
After thinking about it, I felt that I couldn't trick others, so I said to the old man Qi Zhenhai: "Senior, I can promise you about this matter, but just like you said, I won't do anything that hurts heaven and reason." As for saving people, I will do my best to save people, but... When the time comes, if you really can't save people, I hope that the predecessors will not be blamed. ”
Unexpectedly, the old man Qi Zhenhai agreed: "Okay...... As long as you agree, little brother. If the time comes, you really can't save that person, the old man will admit it! As long as you do your best, little brother. ”
I didn't care about the old man Qi Zhenhai's words.
On the contrary, my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou muttered dissatisfiedly: "Old fox! ”
Qi Zhenhai smiled and let us drink tea again.
How can I have the heart to drink tea now, I want to cultivate mana quickly. If I can cultivate mana, not to mention solving the "blood cancer" of that little girl Han Xiaoxi, even if I use mana to promote the Dao Fa, it will be relatively easy.
Also, my Cursed Eye also needs mana to open.
My master, Ma Hongji, told me that the Cursed Eye is very powerful and can see through the vanity of the world. If that's the case, I'm really looking forward to my "cursed eye".
"Senior, without further ado, since we have already agreed, I, Qin Yuyang, will not miss the appointment. If you can trust me, how about helping me now? ”
When I say this, I am still very sincere.
The old man Qi Zhenhai nodded and said happily: "Okay! In that case, little brother, you should follow me first. ”
After speaking, Qi Zhenhai took care of himself with his hands behind his back and walked towards the outside of the bamboo house.
I couldn't figure out what he meant, but we went along.
Outside the bamboo house, near the wall, Qi Zhenhai picked up a shovel.
What do you do with a shovel? I guess it's digging something.
"Senior, what do you mean by that?" I'm a little confused.
Unexpectedly, Qi Zhenhai replied lightly: "Go, you will know." ”
Then, we followed him towards the bamboo forest behind the bamboo house. The three-eyed yin monkey didn't know when it followed, and it was "chirping" behind us, which made me really upset.
The path in the bamboo forest has narrowed, but it is not a problem to walk alone. The old man Qi Zhenhai carried a shovel and walked in front of him gracefully, looking very happy. He also hummed a popular tune from the 80s.
I'm fucking drunk too!
However, the surrounding environment is good, very quiet, the birdsong is constant, and it is also very harmonious.
After walking about half a pillar of incense, we came to a clearing. There was no bamboo in the clearing, it was overgrown with weeds, and there was a strange-looking tree near the very center. The branches and leaves of the tree are flourishing, and the long teng roots are either entwined around the tree or prostrate under the tree.
There were still quite a few birds in the trees, chirping.
It may have noticed that we were approaching this direction, and the birds flew away.
"Senior, what kind of place is this?" I asked, puzzled.
That Qi Zhenhai looked cunning and began to keep silent again. Grandma's, what I hate the most is this kind of person who likes to sell guanzi, but this old man himself is very eccentric, and he can't be compared with ordinary people.
Seeing that Qi Zhenhai didn't say anything, I pursed my lips and continued to follow him forward.
And the closer you get to the tree, the more you can smell a pungent smell of blood. The smell of blood was unusually strong, and it was a little choking. Even when I looked down, I saw that the soil on the ground had turned bloody.
Looking through the dense foliage and branches, I noticed that the trunk of the tree was also blood-red.
Suddenly, I thought of the record on the yellow booklet that my master, Ma Hongji, had given me, which mentioned a kind of tree called "Bloodwood".
The mature bloodwood is blood-red all over, and its surface resembles human blood vessels. And the bloodwood in front of him is obviously not yet mature, but it is undoubtedly a "bloodwood".
Moreover, blood is needed for the growth of bloodwood, and the blood of humans and animals is the best nourishment for it. In other words, if this bloodwood can grow so big, it must have absorbed a lot of blood.
It could be human blood, or it could be animal blood.
"Stop!"
My second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou, who was walking at the back, let out a deep sigh.
Pumpkin and I hurriedly stood on our feet, and it was obvious that Jiang Tianzhou had also noticed something abnormal. I walked over and saw that at the feet of my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou, a human skull was unexpectedly exposed from the blood-colored soil.
The skull was white porcelain, and its hollow eyes stared at the sky.
From time to time, red ants crawled out of the eye sockets.
The ants were gnawing at the rotting flesh and mud on the bones.
And if you look closely, you will find that many weeds have fragments of bone stubble exposed underneath.
My face changed suddenly, and it was obvious that this bloodwood could grow so big because of human blood. Otherwise, there would be no human bones here.
Suddenly, I turned my head, stared at the old man Qi Zhenhai indifferently, and said unhappily: "Old man, what do you mean by this?" What exactly are you bringing us here for? ... Do you want to give us to Bloodwood and become its nourishment?! ”
Pumpkin heard me say this, looked at Qi Zhenhai and looked at me again.
Then, he hurriedly ran to Jiang Tianzhou and me with a panicked face, and hid behind us.
"Brother Qin, your words... What does it mean? Pumpkin asked me tremblingly.
I glanced at Qi Zhenhai and said to the pumpkin, "This old guy wants to harm us!" ”
Pumpkin was even more surprised, and her eyes showed a dark color: "Old fellow, I didn't expect you to be so vicious and want to harm us!" ... Oh? I know, you must be because Brother Qin is some kind of 'Tianyuan Body', you want to harm him, right? ”
The old man Qi Zhenhai had a calm face.
There was a moment of silence before he spoke, "I think you have misunderstood!" ... I brought you here precisely to use the blood qi in the 'Blood Wood' to urge Qin Yuyang to cultivate his mana as soon as possible, but he didn't have any other crooked thoughts. ”
"It's you guys thinking too much!"
I snorted coldly and said angrily, "So you still mean well?" ... Then I ask you, what are the bones of the people in the ground? ”
Second Senior Brother Jiang Tianzhou also wanted to know what was going on, and asked in a scolding voice: "Old guy, tell me about it!" If you can't tell you clearly, don't blame me for being rude to you. This blood tree absorbs human blood, if you really want to harm us, I, Jiang Tianzhou, will turn you into nourishment for blood wood. ”
Qi Zhenhai's face also became ugly, and he said angrily: "You just asked me to help this Qin Yuyang cultivate his mana as soon as possible, why do you change the hexagram now, but you don't believe me." ”
"Yes, there are a lot of dry bones buried in the ground near this bloodwood. Could it be that these bones from hundreds of years ago, do you still want to ask the old man about the things of hundreds of years ago? ”
"The old man hadn't been born at that time...... Maybe you've heard of the 'mass grave', this is the 'mass grave'! ”
