The old man pleaded before, but Lin Tianyang did not agree, if he agreed like this, it would be too simple, it would make these dryads and ghosts feel that they were just scaring them, and it would not bring them any lessons, so Lin Tianyang detonated the formation and blew up more than half of the dryads, which shocked these dryads; At this time, the old man came out to intercede again, but Lin Tianyang agreed, and made them swear, which completely restrained these tree demons and ghost clans.

"Although your injuries are not light, they will recover soon." Lin Tianyang said, and then said to the old man: "Uncle, I want to talk to you." ”

"Yes, Immortal Master." The old man said.

Lin Tianyang returned to the ground and walked outside, and the old man followed behind and slowly walked out of the hillside.

"Uncle, you should know that I did this today to you is quite harmful, but it is good for your future development, otherwise, once you cause the wrath of the heavens, the thunder will fall, and your years of cultivation will be in vain, and there will be no future." Lin Tianyang said.

"What the immortal master said is, we understand, in fact, we don't want these things, we are also forced." The old man said, thinking of the person who forced them, the old man's body couldn't help but tremble, obviously very afraid of that person.

Hearing this, and seeing the old man's appearance again, Lin Tianyang asked, "Forced?" I remembered that the evil ghost I came with me before said that he was told to go by their boss, and the boss he said was the one who forced you? ”

The old man nodded and said, "It's her, we all call her the boss." ”

"Tell me about him." Lin Tianyang said.

"That's a woman..." The old man said, but as soon as the words came out, he was interrupted by Lin Tianyang.

"Woman? I thought it was a man or something. Lin Tianyang said in surprise.

The old man shook his head and said: "This matter started a few years ago, specifically it happened five years ago, nearly six years, when there was a woman who was knocked unconscious and tied to a simple altar as a sacrifice, this is just a simple spell, the caster is two men and one woman, that is, Ma Wencheng and his two concubines in the city. ”

"Although that spell is simple, but because it is sacrificed with people, it can also change a person's fate, their purpose is to change Ma Wencheng's fate, and that woman is Ma Wencheng's wife Zhao Honglian, but she was forced to be a sacrifice, so her resentment is extremely heavy."

"After that spell was done, Ma Wencheng's life changed, and Zhao Honglian's blood was released, and the person died; Ma Wencheng and his two concubines were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they buried Zhao Honglian among us. ”

"It was originally an ordinary corpse, and after a long time, it will rot and turn into fertilizer, but one of us put his tentacles into the woman's body, trying to suck her energy; But what everyone didn't expect was that Zhao Honglian didn't die thoroughly, and she was extremely resentful, and she actually combined with our fellow clan, and became a monster who was not human, demon, but her strength skyrocketed, and she was much stronger than any of us, and as a result, we became her slaves, and many of the things we did were forced by her to do. ”

"She knew that one of Ma Wencheng's concubines was in the capital some time ago, so she went to the capital to find the concubine, and she hasn't come back yet; She asked us to keep harassing Marven to get married, and we could make trouble at will, so we had no choice but to do what she said. ”

After listening to the old man's story, Lin Tianyang understood the cause and effect of the matter, and combined with what the shopkeeper said, Ma Wencheng and Sun Qiuling said, the context of the whole thing became clear.

"You just said that Zhao Honglian and one of your members fused together, and her strength skyrocketed, so why did you go out to take revenge now? According to you, she could have gone for revenge a long time ago, huh? Lin Tianyang asked.

"Originally, it was possible, but Ma Wencheng's concubine had a talisman, when Zhao Honglian went to take revenge for the first time, she was injured by that talisman, and this injury was several years, and over the years, she let others harass Ma Wencheng's family, constantly consuming the energy of that talisman, and when she comes back, it is estimated that she will go to Ma Wencheng and his concubine to settle the account." The old man explained.

After listening to the old man's explanation, Lin Tianyang nodded and said: "Indeed, I have seen that talisman, it is a wolf king's teeth, not only has the ferocious aura of the wolf king, but also has the bonus of spells, it is a very good talisman, but after so many years of consumption, the power of that talisman is not much left." ”

"That being said, it's also irresistible for us." The old man said.

"Yes, you are all grass and wood spirits, and you are also vulnerable to the ferocity of the wolf king." Lin Tianyang said, then looked at the sun that had risen to the old high, and said: "It's not too early, you can go back too, you can recover well, I will go back too, and when that Zhao Honglian comes back, I will meet her in person." ”

"Yes, Immortal Master!" The old man replied.

Lin Tianyang waved his hand, and then walked back to the city.

In fact, Lin Tianyang didn't dig deeper, these trees and the ghost clan can't become essence like this, there must be some external factors, according to Lin Tianyang's cognition, it is very likely that there are some heavenly treasures under this land, so that these trees can become essences, so that the souls of those dead people can gather and become ghosts, and Zhao Honglian can also be fused with that tree to become a powerful monster.

But Lin Tianyang didn't delve into this treasure, he could scavenge the silver tickets from those dead people, and even the silver on those corpses; But this time he let it go, because he knew that the silver had no meaning on those corpses, and this heavenly treasure had a vital role in these dryads and ghosts, and if he took it himself, it would be to do something that was intolerable to heaven, and it was also harmful, which he absolutely could not do.

Back at the inn, Lin Tianyang asked the shopkeeper to bring bath water, washed himself well, and then ordered some wine and food, and ate slowly.

At this time, Ma Wencheng's family was already calm, and the messy living room was cleaned up, but the faces of Ma Wencheng and Sun Qiuling were still very pale, and their eyes were full of fear.

"Last night, the energy of this amulet was almost consumed, if we do it again, this amulet will be scrapped, and we must find someone to help us." Sun Qiuling said.

"Wang Laodao last night is dead, so we can only find his senior brother Zhang Laodao, and we don't have other helpers." Ma Wencheng said.

Sun Qiuling nodded and said, "He shouldn't know about the rest of last night, let him come these days, it's nothing more than spending more silver, and the things that can be solved with silver are all small things." ”

Ma Wencheng nodded and said, "It's only like this now, I hope he can resist the attack of that powerful ghost." ”

After Lin Tianyang finished eating, he took out a piece of rune paper and wrote down what happened simply, and then folded the rune paper into a paper pigeon, pinched a trick, turned the paper pigeon into a real carrier pigeon, and released the carrier pigeon and asked it to send the news back to the Criminal Department.

In the next three days, the Ma family was very quiet, and there were no ghosts to do things again, Lin Tianyang also visited Pingyao City in the past three days, and saw a lot of delicious things, he purchased some and put them in the storage ring, so that he didn't worry about breaking down.

On the evening of the fourth day, Lin Tianyang was sitting in his room eating, when he saw a familiar figure walking outside the street, it was the old man from before.

When the old man passed by Lin Tianyang's room, he made a gesture to Lin Tianyang, and then left.

Lin Tianyang understood when he saw this old man, he knew that Zhao Honglian was back, this old man should have come to explore Zhao Honglian's way, he found out that Ma Wencheng and Sun Qiuling were at home, so he went back to report the news, he gestured to Lin Tianyang, he was reporting to Lin Tianyang.

Lin Tianyang didn't know how strong Zhao Honglian's strength was, and after eating, he meditated in the room to recover his state.

Sure enough, as soon as the time came, a shadow floated into Ma Wencheng's house, and Lin Tianyang immediately went out.

When Lin Tianyang entered Ma Wencheng's yard, he saw the shadow clearly, it was a monster at all, with human hands and feet, but it was the trunk of a tree, and there were many trunks of branches.

"Ma Wencheng, Sun Qiuling, you two who kill a thousand knives will get out of here." The tree man shouted loudly, this is a female voice, it should be Zhao Honglian's voice.

Hearing this voice, the door of the main room opened, and two people came out, it was Ma Wencheng and a Taoist priest, the Taoist priest had been killed last time, and this Taoist priest should have been invited by Ma Wencheng again.

Seeing Zhao Honglian's appearance, Ma Wencheng and the Taoist priest both showed frightened looks, especially the Taoist priest, who even showed a look of fear in his eyes.

"Hmph, is this just such a stinky Taoist priest trying to stop me? You're really naïve. Zhao Honglian said with a smile.

"You are a monster who is not human, and you are not a demon, I met the old Tao today, and I can't let you do evil anymore." The Taoist priest said, and then took out his peachwood sword in his right hand and a talisman in his left hand.

"Hahahaha... A stinky Taoist priest, do you really think you are a heavenly master? Zhao Honglian said with a laugh, and then a few branches were drawn towards the Taoist priest.
