Tian Fusheng frowned again and said: "But there is still a problem that I haven't been able to figure out: when the thunder split the dead tree just now, I can feel that there is still a force to assist the three things to resist the heavenly thunder, which is thick and extensive, and it is not weaker than these three beasts in the slightest." But now there is nothing else in this tree hole, what is it that is secretly helping? ”

Tian Fusheng said as he squatted down to carefully inspect the stump. He touched it for a moment, suddenly slapped his palms, stood up and said with relief: "Who is my Tao, I actually ignored this stubble!" ”

"What is it?"

Wang Ziheng and Gao Guiyun asked in unison.

Tian Fusheng pointed to the broken stump: "That's it!" Although this dead tree has been chopped to pieces, there is still a faint vitality between the debris of the stumps, which is the unique essence of the thousand-year-old tree, also known as the 'wood soul'. The longer the time passes, the more vigorous the wood soul becomes, and even if the body withers, its soul will not die. When destroyed by external forces, out of instinct, the wood soul will also exert its strength to maintain its comprehensive body.

"The dark red airflow cover just now is undoubtedly from the golden pill in the body of the three immortals, and the green qi in the middle comes from this dead tree. It's just that I haven't figured out what kind of tree this is, but it must have been a lot of years since it could grow so big. ”

Wang Ziheng looked at the shape of the branches scattered on the ground, remembered what Xie Daxi said yesterday, and said: "This is called the dove tree, and the locals also call it the pigeon flower tree, which is said to have a history of tens of millions of years, and it is not surprising that it can become a fine." ”

Tian Fusheng suddenly said: "That's right!" ”

"Huh?" Wang Ziheng's gaze turned to the stump again, and he let out an exclamation.

Tian Fusheng leaned over to him and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Wang Ziheng pointed to the tree hole and said, "Look at the corpse of the weasel...... Where did it go? ”

In the tree hole, sure enough, only the corpses of the fox and the black snake remained, but the weasel was gone.

It was clear that just as the three of them were talking, someone was doing something in the hollow of the tree. Could it be that in the vast sea of fog in this Baiyun Mountain, there is still a fourth person hidden?

Just as everyone was panicking, a pair of furry black hands suddenly reached out from behind the stump, just on the edge of the cut in the stump. Then an eerie human face slowly lifted up from behind the tree.

It was an old man's face full of pleats. His skin was dark, his nostrils were facing the sky, his lips were smeared with bright lipstick, and two eyes the size of mung beans were staring at Tian Fusheng and the others.

"Old woman!"

Wang Ziheng and Gao Guiyun shouted almost at the same time.

As a native of Guizhou Province, who hasn't heard the story of the elders when he was a child?

"Jinshan's grandfather, Yinshan's grandmother. Mom and Dad are not at home, who will take care of me? The mountains outside the door turn into mountains, and the river flows under the house. The window rang in the middle of the night, and the old woman came in......"

These are smooth words from the mouths of the elders, and almost every child in Guizhou Province can recite them backwards.

The old woman is a kind of mountain demon unique to Guizhou Province, and it is rumored that most of the women who died unjustly changed from it, with ugly appearance, murderous personality, and eating children. If there is a doll in the countryside who is naughty and disobedient, just say "The old woman is coming" and immediately bow down.

As soon as the old man's face behind the stump appeared, Wang Ziheng and Gao Guiyun's minds were neutral, and the image of the old woman described by the elders appeared.

It was a veritable childhood nightmare, and when the real thing stood in front of you, how could you not be afraid? On the contrary, Tian Fusheng seemed to be fearless.

The old woman jumped up, jumped on the stump, and looked at the three people in front of her.

She made a strange "crunch" sound from her mouth, and was wearing a brown dress and pants that had been tattered to the point of being shaped, with a short and thin figure and a rickety body, like an old rural lady who was nearly half a hundred years old.

The three of them took a few steps back and looked at the old woman suspiciously, unclear for a moment what her intentions were. Even if it was true that as the legend said, she wanted to pounce and eat people, but at the moment there were three adults on her side, and she still had an advantage in strength.

Tian Fusheng twisted his head slightly, taking the opportunity to scan his surroundings. Wang Ziheng immediately understood: he was investigating whether there were any accomplices around him.

After making sure that the old woman only had one in front of him, Tian Fusheng scolded her angrily: "Ugly eight monsters, eat grandpa's two spindles!" I saw that his body shook, and he swung his fist and hit the old woman.

Seeing this, Wang Ziheng and Gao Guiyun were all shocked: The situation between the enemy and me is not clear, how can you dare to provoke this mountain and wild monster who specializes in eating people? It's too late to stop it.

When the two of them opened their mouths wide, Tian Fusheng had already jumped onto the stump, and a pair of iron fists had reached half an inch in front of the old woman's head.

The old woman was also arrogant when she thought about it, and she didn't expect Tian Fusheng to take the initiative to attack her. Seeing that the situation was not right, she let out a "squeak" scream, and her body jumped backwards very quickly, and she was stunned to dodge Tian Fusheng's lightning punch between the lightning and flint.

The old woman turned around in mid-air, and as soon as her feet hit the ground, she quickly disappeared in the dense fog in front of her, as if she was very afraid of Tian Fusheng, and Wang Ziheng and Gao Guiyun were shocked.

Tian Fusheng turned around and shouted happily: "Hurry up, keep up, you will be able to go home soon!" Before the words fell, he turned around and chased in the direction where the old woman had disappeared.

Wang Ziheng and Gao Guiyun were confused. But seeing that Tian Fusheng ran forward desperately, the two had to follow quickly.

Wang Ziheng secretly wondered in his heart: Tian Fusheng has always been calm and sophisticated, not like a frivolous person, is there really any deep meaning behind his seemingly hasty decision?

After running for more than 20 minutes, the two finally caught up with Tian Fusheng. Tian Fusheng had stopped, bent over, his hands on his knees, and was panting.

In front of him was a huge black stone door.
