Looking around, the decent inns in the neighborhood were already full, and only a small inn with simple shops remained, which was not doing well, and made a living by opening inns and running shops, and the old shopkeepers were more than half a hundred years old and only kept this little property to survive.

The three of them talked to the store outside the store for a while, and felt that it was okay here, so they stayed, but as soon as they entered the door, they found a thing sitting on the cabinet in the store, as if it was a child dressed in Buddha clothes, turned to the front of the cabinet, looked at the child face to face, and found that he seemed to be carved out of wood.

I remember that Nie Xiaosheng once said that the corpse vine is a plant like kelp, this plant is carnivorous, and people near the Dasheshu country often use it to dispose of the corpse, after wrapping the body with the corpse vine, the corpse vine will secrete a kind of mucus, which will firmly stick itself with the corpse, and then absorb the nutrients in the corpse, and when the nutrients are sucked dry, the corpse will be completely lignified, and the corpse vine will be left on the surface of the corpse to form a wooden pattern.

It looks like the child on the cabinet must have been turned into a corpse vine, but who was such a young child so cruel to turn him into a corpse vine?

Youyoule grabbed Nie Xiaosheng and motioned him to look at the cabinet, Nie Xiaosheng froze, took a closer look, and felt a little weird, at this time, the owner of the inn also hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with you two?" What's not to like here? ”

Youyule pointed to the child on the table and asked, "What's that?" ”

The innkeeper said, "This is a local religious god called the Ghost Tree Boy. ”

Tangwu ran out of the room in a panic and said, "Why is there such a child called the Ghost Tree Child in every room?" ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "This thing is not very auspicious, let's change it." ”

The innkeeper hurriedly came up and persuaded: "Three, every household in the neighborhood has this thing, and there is nothing terrible about this thing if you are used to it." ”

Youyoule saw that the boss was still relatively kind, and this ghost tree boy was not evil, so forget it, settle down first.

The three of them walked into the room, the layout here is similar to the hotel in the Great House Tree Country, except that there are no windows on all sides, but there is a vent on the ground for ventilation, the houses here are built on rows of closely connected trees, behind the trees is a thick fog, if you open the windows here for ventilation, the fog will flood into the room.

Simply cleaned up for a while, tangled dance and stayed in the room, Youyoule and the two of them planned to go to the nearby guild, and when they came out, they happened to meet the innkeeper, and the two sides were polite, Youyoule saw that the boss was older, and said, "What do you call uncle?" Where are the nearby guilds? ”

The boss pointed to a small stall outside the inn and said, "Call me Lao Wang, the guild is not far from here, you go to the left, do you see the suspended suspension bridge?" Just walk past the suspension bridge and follow the boardwalk. ”

You Youle said: "Thank you, Uncle Wang, then let's go out to do something first, and we'll be back later." ”

The two walked forward according to what Uncle Wang said, You Youle looked up and found that most of the houses above were larger than the ones below, and the light shone down from the top of the tree was blocked by those big houses, almost not shining below, many of the houses above were tall eaves, the courtyard was painted with red lacquer and colored lead, and many auspicious clouds and beasts were carved on the beams and pillars, and the light shone down through the haze at the top of the tree, adding a lot of mystery to the houses above.

Youyou asked, "What's that place up there?" ”

Nie Xiaosheng looked up and said, "Those should be religious houses, I heard that Jumu Country is a religious country, that is, ****, and most of the rights of the country are in the hands of religious people." ”

Youyou said: "I've heard of this way of governing, **** can easily lead to corruption." ”

Nie Xiaosheng looked around vigilantly and said, "You be quiet, what's wrong with not being afraid that others will make you into a corpse vine?" ”

Youyoule nodded lightly and said, "Got it, do you see if this is the suspension bridge that Uncle Wang said?" Sounds dangerous! ”

Nie Xiaosheng shook one foot on the suspension bridge, the iron chains on the suspension bridge rattled, and the wooden planks also made a creaking sound, Nie Xiaosheng glanced down and said, "It's okay that there is water down there, it's not very high here, and you can't fall to your death." ”

Youyou also glanced down and said, "What are you kidding!" ”

Nie Xiaosheng said again: "I didn't see you so slow when I crossed the chain bridge in the big crack, and you chased us very fast!" ”

Youyoule clung to the guardrail on the bridge while cautiously passing over, and said, "Isn't that involuntarily self-conscious?" ”

Nie Xiaosheng urged from behind: "Okay, let's go, there are still things to do when we get to the guild." ”

The two quickened their pace and walked to the middle of the suspension bridge, and suddenly a person came from the opposite side, that person was slender, and he looked thinner than the people of the Great Sheshu Country, but they walked on the suspension bridge as if they were dancing, and they came to the middle after three jumps and two shakes on the suspension bridge.

The man got down from the bridge, and Youyule stood firm in the middle of the bridge and said, "Do people here walk like this?" ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "Didn't you feel that his body was very light when he came over?" ”

You Youle said: "I feel it, the man walks lightly, as if he has no energy at all." ”

While talking, the two crossed the suspension bridge, and along the plank road on the tree wall, the two found the guild that Uncle Wang said, in the Jumu Country, the power of the guild seems to be very small, and even the façade of the guild is in the corner between the two trees.

The two of them crossed the threshold of the guild and walked in, and saw that there was only a tall and thin young man in the room, the young man was wearing a brown-red hat and was cleaning the room. ”

The brown-hatted boy closed the door and said, "You're from out of town, aren't you?" ”

Youyoule nodded and said, "yes, why are you closing the door?" The room was pitch black and nothing could be seen. ”

The young man in the brown hat hissed, looked at the ghost tree boy enshrined on the table, and said, "Be quiet, stop talking, let the ghost tree boy hear it!" ”

You Youle looked at the ghost tree boy on the table, his whole body was numb, and said, "That thing can still be heard?" ”

The young man in the brown hat said, "No, the ghost boy has come to the door several times to ask for trouble!" ”

Youyou said: "Ghost Boy Gate? Is it the local religion? ”

The brown hat boy said, "That's right, it's not convenient to talk here, you go to the inner room." ”
