Chapter 132: The Mysterious Shadow

Shen Yueying's brows were furrowed, and when she saw the expectant looks of Wei Lai and the others, she continued to say: "Ghost locust, also known as Nanke wood, because the locust tree is the ghost in the tree, so the locust tree is often related to strange things, in ancient times, the official eunuchs would deliberately cultivate the locust tree, among which the ghost locust is a more precious variety, according to legend, the ghost locust knows human nature and can absorb the filthy breath of the house. ”

Wei Lai didn't hear anything peculiar, and said, "Isn't that very good, it can also absorb yin qi, which should be beneficial to the master." ”

Shen Yueying shook her head and continued: "It's good as you think, but Ghost Huai is different, when he absorbs enough yin aura, he will undergo a transformation, which can interfere with the minds of people nearby, and even make people hallucinate, and people with weak bodies will be in a trance, and even more will directly collapse and die." There is no abnormality in planting the ghost locust at the beginning, when it has passed more than 100 years and absorbed enough filthy gas, it will reveal the strange place, and there are also records of this in ancient times, the reason why the ghost locust is called Nan Ke Mu is because the Tang Dynasty Li Gongzuo wrote the "Biography of Nan Ke Taishou", which describes the strange events about the ghost locust. ”

Wei Lai knew this history and said to Shen Yueying: "Nan Ke has a dream? ”

Shen Yueying nodded in agreement, and said: "That's right, it's the thing we are familiar with Nan Ke Yimeng, the story records, it is said that Guangling people came home drunk at night, and walked towards the house in a blur, but who thought that he seemed to be confused, the house he saw was actually the trunk of the ghost locust tree, so he lay down under the ghost locust tree in the yard and fell asleep, he vaguely had a strange dream, in fact, just like us, he was disturbed by the ghost locust consciousness, and had entered the hallucination, He dreamed that he came to Dahuai Anguo in a daze, and by chance he became close to the princess of Dahuai Anguo, and became Nan Ke Taishou for 20 years, and he was an official in the illusion of glory, but later because he lost the battle, his beloved princess also died tragically for no reason, and he cried miserably all day long, I think it was the same as we just now, and I met the death of a close person in the illusion, and kept crying in reality, so that we can consume our minds, if our hearts collapse and fail, I am afraid that death is not far away, It happened that it was dawn, and the sun shone on the ghost locust tree, so he instantly woke up, and found that the place where he was was not in the house at all, but under the ghost locust tree in the courtyard, and found that there was an ant hole under the locust tree, which was the big Huai Anguo who was an official in his dream, and the southernmost branch of the locust tree was Nanke County, where he was the guard. ”

Shen Yueying saw that Wei Lai and Huo Meng could listen attentively, he paused and continued: "In ancient times, there were many examples of ghost locust, but the ghost locust can only interfere with people's minds at night, and the ghost tomb here does not have any sunlight, the ghost locust can be unscrupulous, as the ghost locust becomes more and more demonic, the ancient people recognized the weirdness in it, and completely eradicated the ghost locust, I didn't expect that there is such a huge ghost locust tree here, and its year is definitely more than a thousand years, no wonder we have cultivated the soul fire and are interfered with by it." ”

Huo Meng stepped back, and when he heard Shen Yueying say this, he was a little afraid of the ghost locust tree, and then pointed to the human face leaves on the tree and the tiny vines on the ground, and said: "After surviving in the ghost tomb for so long and absorbing so much dead qi, there must have been mutations, oh, you look at those leaves and vines, it is the best proof." ”

Wei Lai agreed with Huo Meng and said, he thought the same thing, but Wei Lai was not worried about this, although the strange tree was powerful, it could only interfere with their minds, and now that they had broken free from the illusion, the impact of the ghost locust on them was already very small, and the most worrying thing for Wei Lai was that mysterious shadow, the three of them saw different figures, which showed that it could confuse everyone, and there were no clues until now, which was always a hidden danger for the three of them.

"By the way, you stunned Shen Wanjun and them, is the shroud still there, if we have the shroud, it will be much safer to walk in the ghost tomb, it is made of evil robes, ordinary ghosts dare not approach at all." Shen Yueying reminded Wei Lai.

"Holy shit, I forgot about it." Wei Lai patted his head in remorse, he didn't think so much about it at that time.

At that time, the situation could be said to be very urgent, although he had already stunned Shen Wanjun and the others, but with the presence of the Xuan corpse, Wei Lai did not dare to guarantee whether it was safe, and he did not even take back the Pisces disc.

Wei Lai had forgotten about the Shroud, and if he had remembered at the time, with the lure of the Pisces Disc and the Shroud, Wei Lai would definitely have risked his life to get it.

"We're really going into the tree hole, why do I feel a little creepy?" Shen Yueying had some bad premonitions, as if the inside of the tree hole was more terrifying than the outside.

Wei Lai said firmly: "We have no other way, Chang Mingxiang's dizziness time is very short, when the smell fades, Shen Wanjun and the others will wake up, if they chase after them, we are not their opponents at all, although the Xuan corpse is a little unstable, but with the corpse slave, we have no chance of winning, there is a quagmire everywhere, there is only this one path, we must enter the tree hole if we want to move forward, Shen Wanjun also needs to enter the depths of the ghost tomb if he wants to get the Huangquan corpse water, we will definitely have a chance at that time." ”

Seeing Wei Lai's analysis, Shen Yueying and Huo Meng agreed, they cautiously walked towards the tree hole, but the closer they got to the tree hole, the more they felt in a trance, and there was something they couldn't see that hindered their progress, when they walked to the tree hole, their spirits became even more blurred, if they hadn't experienced the phantom array before, they might not be able to bear it at this time.

"What should I do, Wei Lai?" Huo Meng wanted to enter the tree hole, but when he just poked into one foot, the pain was unbearable, and the whole skin was as if it had been cut by a knife, Huo Meng almost burst into tears, and then he asked Wei Lai.

Wei Lai encountered the same problem, he found that there was no problem with the entrance of the tree hole, it was no different from an ordinary tree hole, but when he wanted to enter it, he would feel uncomfortable, and this feeling was unbearable at all.

Wei Lai asked Huo Meng and Shen Yueying to retreat, he stood alone in front of the tree hole to observe, Wei Lai looked down, only to see that there were water stains left on the path of the tree cave, if it wasn't for his soul fire breakthrough, which made his insight more keen, he couldn't see such a subtle water stain at all.

Wei Lai was very familiar with the water stains on the ground, which he saw when he was tracking the mysterious figure, looking at the direction of the water stains, the mysterious figure must have entered the tree hole, and it was in the illusion that Huo Meng and Shen Yueying had fallen into, because Wei Lai found this figure and chased after it, and he didn't stop until he chased it to the ghost Huai, when Huo Meng and Shen Yueying had already fallen into a hallucination.

What puzzled Wei Lai was that Huo Meng and Shen Yueying also saw the figure, when they chased the mysterious figure here, and he also saw the mysterious figure, it seemed that this mysterious figure was deliberately leading them here, and it was also imitated into the figure of a familiar person
