In the first half of the night, there were all kinds of screams in the village, but in the second half of the night, it was quieter, because all kinds of poultry and livestock died. Occasionally, there will be crazy laughter or strange screams, that is, people who can't bear the pressure and go crazy, or people who are not strong in their will and weak in their constitution are attacked by demonic energy and go crazy.

Maybe it's because the large number of talismans drawn by the master have some effect, maybe it's the demon fox aura that emanates from my body that makes the tree demon have some scruples, and my family is safe, but my mother is a little frightened, a little heartbroken, and her spirit is extremely poor. I decided to wait until dawn to get out of here because my mom couldn't afford it.

After a long wait, it was finally dawn, but there was no sky to be seen, and a dark red haze that seemed to be foggy and not foggy covered the sky and covered the surroundings, and the smell of blood was extremely strong - overnight, the poultry and livestock of the whole village were bleeding to death, and the blood was not heavy.

I simply packed up, packed my back, and Master and my family, including my uncle and aunt, set off. When I walked to the entrance of the village, I met a group of people carrying luggage to help the old and the young, all of them panicked and colorless. As soon as I stepped forward to ask, it turned out that some people were more anxious than us, and they began to flee for their lives outside the village as soon as it was dawn, and they walked along the main road, without turning or turning back, but they walked back inexplicably. They didn't believe in it, so they went out of the village again, and more people joined the group, but they came back like last time, and then met us.

Others will encounter "ghosts hitting the wall", and my master will definitely not lead the way, no matter how bad he is, he is also a Mr. Yin and Yang who has been mixed for nearly 50 years, and his skills are gone, and he always has vision, right?

This time, there were more than 30 of us, and seven or eight of them were still strong men, and such a huge momentum also strengthened everyone's confidence and courage. Master walked in front with the Dharma weapon in hand, and I followed him closely, holding my mother's hand, my mother holding my grandmother's hand, and my grandmother holding my uncle's hand...... Everyone held hands and joined together.

I was highly concentrated, silently reciting the first three chapters of the Seven Techniques of Yin Fu that Master had taught me last night. This is the secret of the Guigu patriarch, which is not only a famous classic of Taoism, but also a book of strategy and the art of war.

The first article is about how to improve and concentrate one's spirit; The second article is about how to cultivate one's will and perseverance; The third article is about how to stick to the spirit and spirit, strengthen your own will, and gain insight into the weaknesses of the other party (I haven't learned the last four articles yet). This secret is broad and profound, and you may not be able to truly comprehend it in a lifetime, but you don't have to fully comprehend it, and if you understand it, it will have an effect, and if you don't understand it completely, it will have some effect if you read it as a scripture.

Concentration of the mind, firm will, it is difficult for external evil to invade, and it is naturally not easy to be confused by illusions, this is the most fundamental and effective method. Drawing talismans, chanting spells, and casting spells also require strong mental power and willpower, so this secret is one of the compulsory homework of the Yin and Yang family.

I've always been very aware of the changes in the scenery on the side of the road, everything is familiar to me, every step is real, and I can be sure that I am not affected. Master walked in front, also energetic, with a firm step, and looked back at me from time to time, his expression was solemn, but there was no panic or fear.

After walking for a while, the sky was still the same dark red haze (after a few years, almost the whole country was like this, but the color was a little different), and I could only see it less than ten meters away, and the smell of blood was still so strong. I began to feel that something was wrong, that although the scenery on the side of the road was familiar, it was not the type of ground that should be, or even in this direction.

In the gloom ahead, three giant trees stood side by side, with lush branches and leafy branches, like a canopy, covering an area of hundreds of square meters...... Aren't those the three big camphor trees at the end of the village?

I was stunned, we left the village from the west side of the village and walked straight along the main road, only to come back from the main road on the east side of the village!

Master also stopped suddenly, stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at me in surprise, the faces of the two of us were equally surprised, and then the people behind also let out a loud exclamation: "What's going on?" "How did you come back from here?"

The legendary ghost hitting the wall is actually affected by the brain, losing the sense of direction and distance, and wandering in one place or standing still. Master and I are absolutely sober, so many of us can't everyone be confused, how can we leave the village in the west and return to the village in the east? Could it be that the earth has shrunk to a kilometer in diameter, and we have circled the earth?

We did not dare to approach the big camphor tree, so we went far around it into the village, and saw several groups of people running after the madman, or being chased by the madman with a knife, and many of them were crazy.

When I saw my master, the frightened people gathered around me and told me to make up my mind. Everyone's information is also gathered together, and the current situation is that the telephone, mobile phone, and pager are all useless, and it is impossible to contact people outside; All the people who went outside the village would walk back inexplicably, and the people outside couldn't get in, and we couldn't get out, so we had to save ourselves.

I saw that Master straightened his spine, which had always been a little rickety, his cloudy little eyes became firm and focused, and his thin yellow face also glowed, with an indescribable excitement and pride. Maybe no one has paid so much attention to him for decades, people have forgotten the name of Mr. Yin and Yang of the Zhou family, and at this moment he has found this honor and trust, he has found self-confidence!

"There is only one way, gather the strength of the whole village to cut down that big camphor tree, otherwise everyone will die!" Master said loudly, in a resolute and sonorous tone.

Everyone immediately fell silent, and their faces were even more frightened, Fan Qiang's actions yesterday had already received terrible revenge and angered the "tree god", who would dare to cut down the tree now?

"Chairman Mao said that there are many people, and there are ...... big people" The master was excited, and moved Chairman Mao out, "During the day, its demonic spirit has weakened, as long as everyone is united, righteousness can overwhelm evil, and it will definitely be eradicated." If you want to live, you have to listen to me, now go back and get the axe, the wood knife, the hoe, and assemble under the tree, and I will be the first to carry anything. Call all the men, go! ”

Master's composure gave the villagers great confidence and courage, and everyone went home one after another to get a guy or call someone, and Master and I turned around and walked back, first under the big camphor tree.

The tree is actually still a tree, it can't move, it can only use spiritual power to affect the brains of people and animals, and its ability is significantly reduced during the day. It didn't immediately exert its power when Fan Qiang peed yesterday, it wasn't completely dark at that time, and it didn't start to retaliate until it was completely dark when Fan Qiang went home. In addition, there were a lot of people present at that time, and the heavy yang qi of the people would suppress the demonic energy, so the master wanted to call all the men in the village to come.

Survival is more important than anything else, and no one who is lazy in this desperate situation dares to procrastinate, and soon many people arrive with knives, axes, hoes, etc. On the orders of the Master, a few villagers went to a nearby house to move a table of eight immortals and brought incense burners and candlesticks.

The master opened the baggage, took out the magic utensils, pen and ink cinnabar, etc., and placed them in the center, and wrote "Haotian Jinque Supreme Jade Emperor God Incense Seat" in the middle of a piece of red paper, "Ghost Valley Kai Sect Grandmaster Wang Chan Lao Zu" on the left, and "Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Puhua Tianzun" on the right. Put the god seat well, and then light the incense wax, because he didn't even put the offerings in a hurry, and then he began to keep drawing talismans, and at the same time pinching the trick and chanting the mantra, Bu Gang treading is naturally inevitable, and he finally made a move.

I'm not sure if it's necessary, but at least it's reassuring, if the Jade Emperor senses it in the sky, wouldn't it be a snap of his fingers and the dryad will be wiped out?

More and more people arrived, and soon hundreds of people gathered, not only the men in their prime, but also many elderly people and women who came spontaneously. Everyone wants to get out of the terrible situation they are in, and with the presiding officer, the hearts of the people come together.

At this time, the voice of Sheng Yupo crying wolf sounded outside the crowd: "You can't cut down trees, you can't cut them, whoever cuts them will die......"

The crowd split apart, and a small group of people rushed in with Shengyu Po, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, her eyes were red and deep, and she was as terrifying as a female ghost. She waved her arms and pounced on my master, but was immediately stopped by some people, and she howled: "You can't cut it, whoever cuts it will die, you must sacrifice it again, and you must sacrifice the virgins alive to make the tree god calm the wrath, and those who don't believe in me will die!" ”

The villagers began to be furious, and began to point at Shengyu Po and curse angrily:

"Fuck you, your son offended the god of the tree and used someone else's son as a living sacrifice?"

"Old witch, you dare to say such a thing!"

"Use her to sacrifice to the tree god!"

"It's all her fault, kill her, kill her......"

At last, the people saw her for what she really was, and their patience with her reached the limit, and the crowd was so angry that some rushed over to defeat the Jade Po, others threw stones at her, and even her most faithful followers were frightened and ran away. What age is this, and you still dare to sacrifice with living people? The person who said this can no longer be described as madness, she is more terrible than a madman.

Sheng Yupo was forcibly pulled away by several of her relatives, she was still jumping and howling, and her voice came from afar: "Those who don't believe in me will die, those who don't believe in me will die, and whoever dares to touch the sacred tree will die......"

Although Sheng Yupo was driven away, but her words caused more ideological pressure on the vast majority of people, many people have already mustered up the courage to fight with the tree demon, unite as one, maybe really cut down the tree, now she is making trouble, people are panicking, who dares to move forward?

My master drew thirteen talismans, and he was already a little tired, but he cheered up, pointed to the first big camphor tree, and shouted: "Listen to the tree spirit, immediately remove the demon mist, restore everything to normal, clean the source, clean yourself and love yourself, protect the township, and the villagers will naturally worship you when they feel your kindness." If you want to use demonic means to coerce the common people, forcibly ask for worship, and create endless killings, you will eat the evil consequences, and the thousand-year-old Taoism will turn into ashes in a blink of an eye! ”

The big camphor tree didn't react, and everyone held their breath, extremely nervous. The master took a few deep breaths and shouted, "Lang Lang Qiankun, Hao Ran righteousness, how can you be covered by your little demon atmosphere?" There is the way of heaven, there is the law of the country, those who follow it live, and those who go against it die, listen to my kind words and persuasion, change the evil and return to the right, otherwise it will be too late to regret! ”

The big camphor tree still didn't react, and the haze was even thicker, so the master picked up the talisman and walked towards the big camphor tree, and shouted: "Since you are stubborn, don't blame me for being spicy!" ”

I hurriedly ran over and grabbed Master's hand: "Master has something to do with the disciples, I'll post it!" ”

Master's eyes contracted, and he said in a deep voice, "No, I'm still coming!" ”

I saw in his eyes that I was determined to move forward, and I didn't let him go. He is dying and decrepit, his body is weak, and he will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the big camphor tree, and I have a thousand-year-old fox spirit in my body, and there is a high chance that it will be alarmed to resist for me when encountering danger, so this kind of high-risk thing must be done by me!

I snatched the talisman from Master's hand and strode towards the big camphor tree......
