Chapter 22: Why Should I Be Afraid of You

Hearing Lu Tianyi's words, the white-clothed figure instantly stopped his body, his head directly rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, staring at Lu Tianyi with a face without facial features, and asked calmly, "Really?" ”

At this time, the white-clothed ghost, he happened to be stuck in the tumor, his waist-high lower body was inside, and his upper body was outside, and then his back was facing Lu Tianyi, and his flat face was also facing him.

Seeing such a playful ghost for the first time, Lu Tianyi couldn't help but be surprised.

However, Lu Tianyi has not actually come into contact with real ghosts, and in the past, when he did tasks, he encountered just dead souls, which was much worse than real ghosts. Even if it is Li Jiatong, he is only close to a ghost, but not after all. Of course, those caught in the dungeon don't count.

Seeing that Lu Tianyi didn't answer, the white-clothed ghost asked again: "Hey, let me ask you if you are really a ghost!" ”

"Really, I'm just a ghost!" Lu Tianyi nodded.

"Tsk, I didn't expect there to be a ghost!" The ghost in white said.

"There are all ghosts, isn't it normal to have ghosts?" Lu Tianyi said.

"Well, you're right!" The ghost in white nodded approvingly.

"How I feel like you're not afraid of me." Lu Tianyi said suddenly.

"Afraid of you? Why should I be afraid of you? The ghost in white asked.

"Huh!" Lu Tianyi was embarrassed for a while, "You are a ghost, I am a ghost, shouldn't you be afraid of me?" After all, relatively speaking, you are a civilian, and I am an official, so it's normal for civilians to be afraid of me being an official, right?! ”

"Who said that civilians must be afraid of being officials?!" The ghost in white said, "I'm just not afraid of you, what can you do to me?" In his tone, the white-clothed ghost was full of contempt.

"I can get you into the underworld!" Lu Tianyi deliberately said with a fierce expression.

"Really! Then hurry up and get me away! Hearing this, the white-clothed ghost said excitedly.

Lu Tianyi: "......"

This script is not right, shouldn't I say I can arrest you, and then you will either run away or immediately kneel on the ground and beg for mercy?

"Why are you so excited? It stands to reason that you shouldn't be afraid, right? After all, the underworld, whether it is a mortal in the yang world or a ghost, is a taboo! Lu Tianyi asked suspiciously.

The white-clothed ghost withdrew his legs, straightened his head again, then turned around, looked at Lu Tianyi, and said, "I don't know about others, but for me, if I can enter the underworld to be reincarnated, I am a hundred willing." ”

"Why?"

The white-clothed ghost did not answer, but pointed to the thing beside him that was wrapped in tree roots, and asked, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Lu Tianyi shook his head.

The white-clothed ghost didn't sell it, and said directly: "This is my corpse!" ”

Retracting his hand, the white-clothed ghost continued: "I have been dead for more than 70 years, and I died here unexpectedly during the Righteous War of Resistance Against Japan. At that time, there was a small sapling next to my body, which is the big locust tree you see now. After I died, because my soul was too weak, I attached myself to the locust tree because of the yin-gathering effect of the locust tree. ”

"Later, with the nourishment of the locust tree, my soul slowly became stronger, and I wanted to leave and go to see somewhere else. But I suddenly realized that I couldn't leave, and my soul was confined within a hundred meters. At this time, I remembered what the old man in the village had said, although the locust tree can gather yin, it can also restrict the soul. ”

Hearing this, Lu Tianyi nodded, he also knew this, it was true.

The locust tree, the wood ghost is "locust", so the locust tree is also called the ghost locust. Moreover, in the five elements of yin and yang in feng shui, ghosts belong to yin, and locust trees also belong to yin, so the locust tree has the effect of gathering ghosts, and at the same time can trap ghosts.

"And then, I stayed here day after day, year after year, watching my body wrapped in locust roots, but I couldn't do anything!" The ghost in white said.

"After so many years, I'm tired of this endless life, I want to be reincarnated, you are a ghost, please, help me!" The white-clothed ghost suddenly pleaded.

"Don't worry, even if you don't ask me, I will take you to the underworld. After all, it's my job! Lu Tianyi said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you, sir!" The ghost in white sincerely thanked him.

"No thanks!" Lu Tianyi smiled and waved his hand, and continued: "However, before that, I have to help you get the corpse out, otherwise, without the corpse, you will not be able to reincarnate in the next life." ”

"Thank you, Lord!"

"Hmm!" Lu Tianyi nodded and came to the corpse of the white-clothed ghost.

The white-clothed ghost stood aside respectfully, silent, so as not to disturb Lu Tianyi.

Lu Tianyi looked at the corpse in front of him, and gestured for a while, but he didn't make a move.

"Your Excellency?" After a long time, the white-clothed ghost couldn't help but cry out in confusion.

Lu Tianyi glanced at him and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't bring anything inside the knife, so you can't let me bite with my teeth." And the magic weapons we use for ghosts can't cut off the roots of entities. And this matter is not easy to use the power of the yang world to solve it, so ......" said, Lu Tianyi's voice became smaller and smaller, "I can't help it now." Excuse me! ”

After speaking, Lu Tianyi's face turned red, and he said just now that he wanted to help others, but now he was slapped in the face by himself.

"However, don't worry, as long as I think of a way, I will definitely come and take you away immediately and go to the underworld." Lu Tianyi solemnly promised.

Hearing this, the white-clothed ghost was a little regretful, but he still said, "It's okay, I understand!" ”

"Alas~" Lu Tianyi sighed and muttered, "If only there was some way to let the locust tree retract its roots by itself." ”

"Impossible!" The white-clothed ghost shook his head and said, "I want it to retract on its own, unless it has a strong yang energy." But my corpse is now buried deep underground, and there is no contact with yang energy at all. ”

"You mean, the roots of this tree only need to touch the yang energy. Will it retract? Lu Tianyi hurriedly asked.

"Yes!" The white-clothed ghost nodded, "This locust tree belongs to yin, especially the roots, which are even more yin and yang-hating." And, when it came into contact with my corpse, it was affected by my own yin energy, which was like poison to it. ”

"Haha, then I have a way!" Lu Tianyi laughed.

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Yang energy. For other Yin Souls, it may be very difficult, but for Lu Tianyi, it couldn't be simpler.

"My lord, what can you do?" The ghost in white couldn't help asking.

"Just look at it!" Lu Tianyi sold it.

He put his hand on the root of the tree, and then began to run the "Tianyang Jue", mobilizing the hot yang true qi in the dantian.

In an instant, the white-clothed ghost felt a scorching aura emanating from Lu Tianyi's body.

At this time, Lu Tianyi, in the eyes of the ghost in white, was like a roaring furnace.

When the locust tree root came into contact with the yang energy in Lu Tianyi's body, it instantly began to shrink back, consciously avoiding him.

Soon, the roots of the tree that wrapped the corpse of the white-clothed ghost all retreated, revealing a skeleton.

However, what is surprising is that the bones are still snow-white after being eroded by the soil all year round, and none of them are yellow or black.
