Chapter Twenty-Six: Gathering the Shadows

"Tree Evil!" Shopkeeper Zhou and Xiao Wu were shocked when they heard this, and subconsciously took two steps back and did not dare to approach the half-dead spring tree, for fear that they would become half-dead if they got too close.

"Shopkeeper Zhou's little fifth brother doesn't need to panic, there are no ghosts under the giant sun, they don't dare to come out, trouble the little fifth brother to find a shovel to come over"

Jiang Pingchuan threw away the section of Yingchun tree in his hand, watched Xiao Wu quickly run to the front hall, and ran out again, holding a shovel and handing it to Jiang Pingchuan.

Jiang Pingchuan nodded, took the shovel and walked towards the half-dead spring tree.

"Pingchuan, this is what you want," Shopkeeper Zhou watched Jiang Pingchuan walk towards the spring tree with a shovel, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

He had never seen a person like Jiang Pingchuan to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits, and he didn't need to sacrifice any magic weapons, and there seemed to be nothing peculiar.

Xiao Wu followed Jiang Pingchuan to the half-dead spring tree, and he felt that he felt very safe following Jiang Pingchuan.

"Of course, I cut down and burned this half-dead tree that looked at the blink."

Jiang Pingchuan said without looking back with a shovel, and when he squatted down and looked at the ground at the root of the tree, he found a clue.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, have you touched this spring tree recently?"

Jiang Pingchuan grabbed the soil at the root of the tree and rubbed it in his hands, a stream of true qi gushed out of the soil wrapped in his hands, Jiang Pingchuan felt that this might not be a simple natural tree evil.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he had doubts and squatted on the ground to look at the dust at the root of the tree, but he couldn't see anything abnormal.

Xiao Wu also followed Jiang Pingchuan and wanted to grab the dust on the ground to study, but Jiang Pingchuan slapped his hand away.

Xiao Wu didn't understand why Jiang Pingchuan opened his hand, Jiang Pingchuan threw away the soil in his hand and frowned.

"Pingchuan, is there anything wrong with this soil, I haven't touched this spring tree here for more than ten years," Shopkeeper Zhou looked at the soil and said in a deep voice.

"This soil has been turned over, and this soil is not ordinary soil, it contains a strong evil spirit, if I am not mistaken, this soil is the soil of raising corpses"

Jiang Pingchuan stood up with a shovel, and when he heard Jiang Pingchuan's words, Xiao Wu and Shopkeeper Zhou's faces became very ugly.

Especially Xiao Wu was even more glad that Jiang Pingchuan had just prevented him from touching this soil, otherwise he might provoke something evil.

"How can there be corpse soil here, I've never heard of any corpse soil" Shopkeeper Zhou stood up and took two steps back, lest he get too close and be attacked by the yin qi in the so-called corpse soil.

"I'll talk about this later, you guys stand back" Jiang Pingchuan didn't answer Shopkeeper Zhou's question.

He could see that this town was very unusual, and it was not surprising that Shopkeeper Zhou didn't know much about raising corpses, after all, most of the people who could know how to raise corpses now were already half-human and half-ghost.

Jiang Pingchuan picked up the shovel and began to dig towards the roots of the tree, and in a short time he dug a large hole around the spring tree.

Jiang Pingchuan looked at the deep pit he had cut out with a gloomy face, and the roots of the spring tree in the ground were growing very vigorously, and the roots of the tree were intricately intertwined, densely scattered, and rooted in the soil to absorb nutrients.

What made Jiang Pingchuan angry was that under the roots of the tree, someone placed seven black ash altars according to the arrangement of the Yin Bureau.

Jiang Pingchuan bowed down to remove the seven columbariums in the soil and placed them on the ground, and when Jiang Pingchuan took out the last columbarium, a trace of yin wind swept in his ears, and there was a buzzing voice in the wind.

"Why are you moving us, we live very well, you are nosy" The voice in the wind came into Jiang Pingchuan's ears and buzzed.

Jiang Pingchuan snorted coldly, the aura around his body suddenly soared, and the strength of the six realms of qi cultivation was revealed, Jiang Pingchuan came to this strange place and he found that there were very few cultivators, basically no cultivators.

Moreover, his own Dao crystals will actually be suppressed in six pieces, and the two outer two Dao crystals will no longer function as if they are dormant.

However, in Jiang Pingchuan's opinion, a place where he could not cultivate the Dao, he was a cultivator of the Six Realms of Qi Cultivation, and he could simply run rampant in the world, and in the face of the threat of the voice in the wind, Jiang Pingchuan didn't care about it at all.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, I think you should think about whether you have provoked anyone recently, or whether anyone has come here recently to touch this spring tree."

Jiang Pingchuan put the last ash altar in his hand on the ground, patted the soil on his hand and looked at the shopkeeper Zhou and asked, it is obvious that this spring tree has been tampered with, and this place has become someone else's corpse breeding ground.

"No, I haven't sinned against anyone lately, and no one has ever come to my house."

Shopkeeper Zhou pondered for a while to make sure that he was not mistaken, and then opened his mouth to answer Jiang Pingchuan's question, and Xiao Wu beside him also carefully recalled something.

"Brother Pingchuan, the shopkeeper is generous and gentle, and the villagers all know that the shopkeeper is a good man, and it is impossible to offend anyone, if there is really one person who has a little festival, it can only be Gao Yao, the son of the county master of Sanjiang County."

Xiao Wu thought for a long time and said his opinion, Jiang Pingchuan looked at the shopkeeper Zhou, and when Xiao Wu said Gao Yao, the son of the county master, the whole person of the shopkeeper Zhou's breath changed.

Shopkeeper Zhou became very angry and helpless, Jiang Pingchuan felt that there must be something hidden in this that he didn't know.

"The son of the county lord?" Jiang Pingchuan looked at Shopkeeper Zhou and Xiao Wu with his own questions, Xiao Wu saw Shopkeeper Zhou frowning and not speaking, just sighing and stomping his feet with anger on his face.

"Brother Pingchuan, don't you know that Gao Yao, the son of the county master, relies on his father to be a county official who does evil on weekdays, bullying men and women to harm the people of Sanjiang County, my young lady is naturally beautiful, that Gao Yao has the intention of being a thief and wants to bully my young lady, so he has a holiday with our shopkeeper, but Gao Yao has not appeared recently"

Xiao Wu thought of Gao Yao's ugly face and felt sick to his stomach, Jiang Pingchuan nodded when he heard Xiao Wu's words, if it seems that the most suspicious person is Gao Yao, the son of the county master.

"Pingchuan, what to do with this tree" Shopkeeper Zhou sighed.

Jiang Pingchuan also knew that a businessman like Shopkeeper Zhou would be enough for him if he carried it with the government, and seeing Shopkeeper Zhou's eyes full of worry, Jiang Pingchuan glanced around and had a plan.

"First find the old mugwort, add it to the pit, burn the spring tree on the spot, and then pile the mugwort in the four corners and light it and start to smoke the garden."

Jiang Pingchuan noticed that the current situation was very easy to solve, except that he didn't know who did something under this spring tree.

Burning this spring tree with aged mugwort, the green smoke produced by the burning of mugwort can drive away evil spirits, just before the sun sets, and the burning of mugwort is still within the best time.

Xiao Wu heard Jiang Pingchuan's words and hurriedly ran to a side room, thinking that it was the warehouse of Zhou's shopkeeper's house, Jiang Pingchuan noticed that Xiao Wu quickly took out a stack of old wormwood, and was about to throw it into the deep pit, but was stopped by Jiang Pingchuan and shook his head.

"Brother Pingchuan, aren't these aged mugwort good" Xiao Wu looked at Jiang Pingchuan to stop himself and was a little puzzled, he was not stupid, it was impossible to make a mistake.
