Chapter 576: The Moon Worship Contest
"Did you find anything?"
Ah Yao is very smart and alert, and when she saw that my expression was wrong, she naturally knew that I had discovered an abnormality.
"I found something, but it's not critical," I pondered for a while, didn't say anything about Lu Tao, and was ready to wait and see, so I changed the topic and asked A-Yao: "What did that Gu He say about the moon worship contest just now, do you know that thing?" ”
"I know a little bit," Yao nodded.
"Tell me about it," I said.
"Hmm," Ah Yao sorted out her thoughts for a while, and then said to me, "Speaking of which, this moon worship contest is actually related to the Divine Tree. Do you know the sacred tree? ”
"I heard a little bit from the driver when I came, and I heard that many people from other places came here for the sacred tree. Is that really such a god in the tree? How did that moon worship contest have anything to do with the sacred tree? I asked curiously.
"To be precise, the sacred tree is a sacred object of the entire Miao Territory, not the private property of a certain tribe, not to mention anything else, just say that the members of the Guardian Wood clan are composed of members selected by many Miao villages. Of course, in the Miao Jiang generation, not only Miao Village, but also forces such as the Blood House Gate and the Gelao Clan, these forces also regard the sacred tree as a sacred object, so there is a moon worship competition. Only the clan that wins the Moon Worship Contest will be given the right to pick the fruit of the sacred tree. A-Yao explained to me.
"The fruit of the sacred tree? Didn't that thing fall on its own? What's more, the sacred tree is so big, I think there should be a lot of fruit, why can only the winning tribe pick the fruit? Let's pick a few more, and a few in a tribe, isn't it? I wondered.
"The kind of fruit you are talking about, in fact, is just the most ordinary fruit, the sacred tree is a divine object, and the fruit is divided into many kinds, the most precious is the golden monkey head born on the trunk of the tree, that thing only becomes one in a hundred years, if people eat it, they can refine the bones and wash the marrow, gain great strength, and instantly improve several levels. Due to the scarcity of the Golden Monkey Head, it only becomes one a year, so it has always been the focus of competition for various tribes, because mastering the Golden Monkey Head means mastering absolute power, which is a good thing that no tribe wants to miss. ”
When Ah Yao said this, she couldn't help but sigh and said: "However, it is said that in recent years, due to the departure of the holy woman of Dawu Mountain, every moon worship competition has been more defeated than victorious. This matter must have annoyed them, but listening to Gu He's words, it seems that the Holy Maiden of Dawu Mountain has returned, so they have a good chance of winning this Moon Worship Competition, and now they should all be preparing for the competition. ”
"Didn't the sacred tree appear on the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival?" I asked curiously, "It's only late July, so there's still a month to go, so why are you starting to compete?" ”
"Naturally, the competition has to be advanced," A-Yao said.
"Okay, then I kind of understand what's going on." I nodded, and then looked at the corpse inn not far away, and couldn't help but wonder how Lu Tao managed to find the saint.
After pondering for a long time, I felt that these things in Miao Village didn't seem to have anything to do with me, but I shook my head, cleared my head, and said secretly: No matter what sacred tree they are, what kind of moon worship competition, I just need to find He Wei and bring him back safely.
"You wait for me here," I thought about what to do, I couldn't help but quietly touched towards the corpse inn, I want to see if there is He Wei's body inside, if not, it means that He Wei is not dead, if there is, I don't mind killing Miao Zhai.
Approaching the inn a little bit, he first locked on Lu Tao's location and found that he was hiding in a layer of grass outside the wall.
Seeing Lu Tao's actions, I quietly went around to the other side and stood there against the wall.
"Yin and Yang eyes, open!"
With a low exhalation, the vitality condensed into his eyes, and the light of Jinlan flourished, urging his vision to penetrate the wall and look inside.
The situation in the room was very simple, watch out for the table, some miscellaneous items piled up in the corner, and several corpses standing on either side of the door, the green-haired zombie and the two men in black were impressively in the column.
My eyes swept over several corpses one by one, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I didn't find He Wei.
However, just as my mind was relaxed, I suddenly moved out of the corner of my eye, and looked under the table in the center of the room, where the ground was bulging, and it seemed that there was some living thing hidden underneath.
"What's that?" I thought to myself, my eyes condensed under the table, but I didn't want the contents to suddenly break through the dirt and jump out, and fly directly out of the table.
"Bang-" The table fell, and then an angry roar came, and when I looked again, I realized that it was a fat zombie covered in snow-white jade.
"Hey, it's a jade corpse, if nothing else, this should be the shopkeeper that the two black-clothed men want to rob, it seems that the cultivation is not shallow, do you want me to go over and play with it?" Seeing the jade corpse, Yun Qingyue quickly appeared, full of excitement.
I took a look at the jade corpse and found that the guy had a huge body, blue eyes, a sickle in his hand, and his body was slightly suspended in the air. ”
"Shopkeeper, what's going on?"
When I quickly retreated, Lu Tao's voice sounded outside the door, but the jade corpse ignored him at all, flew out of the window, and chased straight after me.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help sneering, and said in my heart that this ghost thing really didn't shed tears when I didn't see the coffin, and I couldn't help but call out Yun Qingyue and the little fool at the moment, and said to them: "You two sisters go together, let me teach it a lesson, don't give me face." ”
"Brother, don't worry, we will let it know that it is powerful!"
The little fool hadn't fought for a long time, and when he saw that Hunting was happy, he first rushed forward and smashed his little fist at the jade corpse.
The jade corpse obviously didn't expect that it was actually the two souls of yin and yang that faced it, and he couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, opened his mouth and spit out a cold breath, and sprayed straight towards the little fool.
"Wow, it stinks!"
The little fool screamed, the figure flew fast, bypassed the back of the jade corpse, raised his hand is a punch, and the jade corpse figure was stunned, subconsciously turned around, and slashed at the little fool with the scythe in his hand.
The sickle is an entity, but after being blessed by the corpse qi, it also hurts the soul, the little fool didn't dare to take it hard, and jumped away, but Yun Qingyue caught up at this time, and a flame slapped on the top of the jade corpse's head, and a burst of green smoke immediately rose on the jade corpse's head, and he couldn't help but roar angrily, turned around and rushed towards Yun Qingyue.
"Shopkeeper, what's going on?"
When the two little girls were fighting with the jade corpse, Lu Tao rushed up, and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, he quickly took out a green flag from his arms and raised it, and at the same time shouted to Yun Qingyue and the little fool: "Where is the evil spirit, dare to come to my Miao Village to make trouble, don't you die soon?" Pick me up and collect the Soul Flag! ”
