Chapter 53: Zhao Laodao

We started looking for the legendary treasure in this mess of roots, but I'm more afraid that this so-called tree demon will attack me, and that's not a good thing. I'm really afraid of something, and my uncle is calling me from behind.

"Xiaoyu, what can you find if you just take a torch and walk around outside, go and go, you go inside and take a look, maybe you can find the baby." No, don't let me be a bait, let me be a search team, but I'm still sent to death, uncle, you're really my own uncle.

"Uncle, didn't you say that this thing is a tree demon, will it eat people, or you should go over, you can fly him with a fireball if you have something, I am terrible of this thing."

"If you don't try, don't worry, if you die, the uncle will avenge you, if you are torn apart, the uncle will collect the body for you, go quickly." I'll shoot you out with one kick if I don't go over again, go ahead. "My uncle is still in a hurry when he talks about this, forget it, if you can't provoke me, you have to hide, so let's go up and look for it." I strode onto the ground formed by the huge roots, which were so dense that it felt strange to step on the thick roots of the tree, probably because they were the roots of the tree demons, and they were soft to step on, as if they were on flowing water. I walked up here in fear, and I didn't know when this tree demon would give me a moment, and it would be really dead.

I searched for a while at the root of the tree, but I was searching for it, and suddenly I didn't know what had tripped over me. What the hell is this, I'm going to die. I was relieved that my foot had tripped over a bag protruding from the root of the tree, and when I looked closely, the bag seemed to be a little protruding, and it seemed that there was something underneath. I have to tell my uncle quickly.

"Uncle, come and see, there seems to be something here, is it the treasure you said?" I said baby, the old man rushed over at once, this old thing really regards money as life, my uncle and they also came over, we studied the thing in front of us together.

"What the hell is this, hey, don't cut it with a knife yet, or it won't be good if you break the contents inside, now it would be nice to have a big scissors for pruning flowers and plants."

"Yes, I have, I have one in my bag." As he spoke, the old man rummaged through his bag and took out a pair of big scissors.

"Old thing, you're so powerful, you had a needle potion just now, and now it's big scissors, where did you come from."

"I picked up the needle just now, and now the scissors were stolen from the gardener next door to us, which makes everyone laugh." Gambling with this old thing, picking up rags, stealing things, doing everything, if I were his master, I would have to sweep him out of the house, who dares to stay like this, staying is a scourge.

The old man picked up the big scissors and began to carefully trim the roots of the tree in front of him. I originally thought that the roots of the tree would be as invulnerable as just now, but now they can be easily cut short, and it seems that my uncle and the two of them just made it like that, but they broke the defense of this tree demon. The old man trimmed for a while, and sure enough, something seemed to appear underneath, this is, it's a dress, it's a gray cloth garment, is it a person below.

A few of us didn't care so much, we all picked up the family and took the roots away, and after a while, a person really appeared in front of us, perhaps, it's a person, anyway, I don't look like it.

The thing in front of him said that he was a human being, because he was wearing human clothes, and he was also human, but he was not good at being thin, and at the same time he was not old. Let's say that he is not a human being, because the surface of this thing's body seems to be covered with a thin layer of wax, how can there be such a thing on a person's body, if this thing is put in a wax museum, I must think that this thing is a wax figure. The thing in front of me had no vital signs, and I really couldn't connect him to people. This thing is more like a dried corpse.

This thing looked strange and scary, and I took the initiative to take two steps back, but the old man seemed to recognize the origin of the dried corpse, and hugged the dried corpse and cried.

"Master, master, why did you leave me, didn't you say you wanted to get the baby back, after so many years, why can't you go back, why did you die, what should I do if you die." The more the old man cried, the more sad he became, and he couldn't stop his snot and tears from lying down, I really couldn't imagine this guy who stole chickens and dogs, and this feeling, looking at him like this, we couldn't go up to dissuade him, let him catch up with Zhao Laodao, I have some questions to ask my uncle.

"Uncle, this should be Zhao Laodao, how did he become like this. It's weird to look at. ”

"This Zhao Lao Dao should have known that he was about to die, so he came to this dragon cave to check if this tree demon was still sealed here, but after arriving here, he really ran out of oil and died here. The environment here is also unique, only on the surface of this corpse formed corpse wax, corpse wax wrapped the corpse, and finally became a wax corpse, this is also the first time I saw this wax corpse, I just heard my father say before, this corpse wax is very common, but to produce enough corpse wax to wrap the corpse, into a wax corpse, it is estimated that this Zhao Lao Dao also did something, probably afraid that the tree demon will eat him after he dies. ”

"Look, there's something here." Xiao Jian's words interrupted my short discussion with my uncle, and we followed the sound to have a look together. After the wax corpse was dug out of the root of the tree, a hole was formed under the root of the tree, Xiao Jian was looking inside with a torch at this time, and found something after death. When the old man heard that we had found something here, he also put down Zhao Laodao, kowtowed respectfully, and came over to take a look at the situation.

Under the light of Xiao Jian's torch, we saw that there seemed to be something in the tree hole, and we could only know what it was by going down to see it. Qin Wu and Xiao Jian had already pulled out their swords and began to clean up the surrounding tree roots, and at this time, the things below were slowly revealed, it was a person, no, it should be said to be a wax corpse, the same wax corpse just now. What is the situation, how can so many wax corpses suddenly appear, I look at my uncle, he shook his head, it seems that he can't see through all this. Now the task is to clean up the wax corpse, and maybe there will be a clue.

My uncle just opened his mouth, probably because he wanted me to go down again, but the old man had already volunteered to go down, and it was good to have such a person. The old man took scissors to cut the roots of the tree wrapped around the wax corpse, and after a while, he cleared out a wax corpse, handed it to us, and after a while, began to clean up the second wax corpse. It took about half an hour, the wax corpses were finally cleaned up, plus Zhao Laodao had a total of eleven wax corpses, these wax corpses were wearing the clothes of various dynasties, I think the earliest may be the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, what is the situation. My uncle squatted on the ground to inspect the wax corpses, and it seemed that he was still very interested in them.

The wax corpses are very well preserved, and they don't seem to be anything too special other than being unusually thin. I'm curious about the origin of these wax corpses, and I guess the old man might be able to answer my questions.

"I said old man, what kind of people are these, I think you will be able to tell one, two, three, how to drop, tell us about it." The old man looked at me, didn't say anything, but kowtowed respectfully to the eleven wax corpses on the ground three times, and then stood up to look at me. I looked at his eyes, and it seemed that he was a little hostile to me, how could I say the wrong thing again?

"Little brother, don't you dare to talk nonsense, these are our supreme ancestors, you are blaspheming the gods when you say this. These ancestors of mine were all famous figures at that time, who would have thought that they would die here silently, I should have understood what my master meant, he did not sweep me out of the house because I lost all my property in the temple, but was afraid that I would accompany him to die. "My uncle suddenly couldn't hold his breath anymore at this time.

"Tell me, old man, I think there's something missing in the story you've told us."
