I walked to the big tree and pressed my hands on the locust tree, and sure enough, there was a lot of yin qi in it, which went straight to the yin qi veins deep underground. I ignored it before, mainly because it died, thinking that it could not absorb yin, but unexpectedly, the locust tree is different from other trees, the word "locust" is wood for ghosts, it can be seen that it is particularly easy to absorb yin qi and attach to yin, even if it is dry, it can also absorb yin, and the whole tree has not decayed much for several years.

But I have some doubts, because according to my feelings, there is no big cavity in the locust tree, and there is nothing particularly yin and evil, presumably Lu Chengshan has also explored the locust tree and has not harvested it. I didn't give up, and I looked around the tree, and soon found that there was an inconspicuous scar more than a meter above the ground, which was square, the size of a bowl, and the edge was neat.

This is when the locust tree is still growing, with a very sharp blade to pierce into the hollow inside, and then put the bark back, because the cut is very fine, and put it back in time, soon the seam grows, leaving only a thin scar, even if someone sees it will think that it is a naughty boy carved out at will.

Although it was a big gap from what I imagined, I still believed that I had found the right one, and pulled out the dagger to dig up the bark. The bark of the tree had been somewhat decayed and could have been easily dug up, and the wood inside had cut scars, and the piece that had been reinserted had grown with the tree.

The locust tree dried up and became so hard that it took me a lot of effort to pull out the cork and look inside to see a small bag of oiled paper. Because it was so tightly stuck, I carefully pulled it out, but it still broke the oiled paper. When the oiled paper was opened, there was a yellowed piece of leather with sketches of mountains, rivers, and villages, certain to be maps, but not a single word.

It turns out that the treasure is not here, just a treasure map. I looked into the hole in the tree, and there was still something inside, so I handed the map to Lin Mei and used a dagger to dial the contents inside. It looked like a piece of jade, and since the tree had grown so tightly stuck, I had to dig up the wood next to it little by little with the tip of my dagger, and it took me several minutes to pull out the piece of jade.

When I reached out and touched the piece of jade, I jumped up violently as if I had been electrocuted, and a yin and evil aura rushed into my body, and my mind was instantly filled with anger, sadness, helplessness and other negative emotions, as well as some fragmented pictures. Due to the sudden attack, the reflex of the aura in my body created resistance, and in an instant, the invading yin qi was refined and completely gone.

I was stunned for a moment, the yin qi just now was very similar to the yin qi that entered my head when the "senior brother" spoke to me last time, so it can be seen that his yin spirit invaded my body and wanted to convey some meaning, but it was too weak, and before it could convey its meaning, it was dispersed by my yang qi.

How did the "big brother" become so weak?

After thinking about it for a while, I understood that the day before yesterday, the "senior brother" had already consumed a lot of cultivation by Master Zeshan with the power of King Kong, and was severely injured by Lu Chengshan, and he was already injured five times and seven injured. It knew that it was not Lu Chengshan's opponent, and in order to prevent the treasure map and the jade talisman from falling into Lu Chengshan's hands, it used the strategy of transferring flowers and trees to transfer all the yin qi to a corpse bone, leaving only a little divine sense to remain in this jade talisman. Lu Chengshan really hit the plan, destroyed the dried corpse but didn't find its real hiding place, but unfortunately the ghost of the "senior brother" was too weak and dissipated before he could send the "last words" to me.

This piece of jade as a whole is fan-shaped, about 45 degrees angle, about three fingers at the widest point, about the same length as the middle finger, and less than one finger thick. The jade is warm and delicate, white and yellow, not very transparent, and there are six yang engraved horizontal lines in the center, which is a kun hexagram pattern. There are some exquisite cloud patterns on the top and bottom of the kun hexagram, the edge pattern is interrupted very abruptly, and there are two grooves on both sides of the jade, which can be speculated to have a total of eight pieces of such jade talismans, which can be spliced into a gossip plate.

Flipping to the back, there is a set of dots and lines of pattern, which looks like a decorative pattern, but my eyes lit up, this is a rare high-level rune!

There are many kinds of runes, and the runes of the same utility may also be different in different factions, and some simple functional runes can also be modified and innovated, so the number of runes cannot be counted. But in terms of the type of runes and the way they are composed, they can be divided into four main categories:

The first type is the compound text, which is composed of more than two small characters, some strokes are exaggerated and deformed, and the whole combination is formed, which is the most common in modern times; The second type is the cloud seal, the main body is the ancient seal script, and there are some mysterious patterns or symbols, which are the symbols in the impression of the vast majority of people; The third type is the symbol, which combines the image of the god and the rune, which is more advanced and must be drawn by someone who can communicate with the ghosts and gods to have an effect; The fourth, more advanced type, called the Talisman, is made up of intricate dots, lines, circles, and geometric patterns, which are so rare today that non-specialists don't even recognize them as runes.

What I'm seeing now is the highest level of treasure runes, I don't recognize them as runes, what is the function, but it can be confirmed that it is a group of treasure runes. I suddenly remembered that Lin Mei said that the "senior brother" would be invulnerable to the magical rune, and now this piece of jade is the yin weapon where the senior brother's yin soul lives, and there are high-level runes on it, is this the invulnerability rune? However, it is impossible to use only runes without spells.

This jade talisman must be weird! I held the jade talisman tightly, and immediately sensed that the jade talisman was filled with pure and rich spiritual power, boundless, a small piece of jade talisman, but inside it was like an boundless shijie. Carefully distinguish, these spiritual powers have the characteristics of calm and heavy, and the five elements belong to the earth, which should be the spiritual power of the yang earth.

I have never seen jade with such strong spiritual power, and the spiritual power is so pure, it is really the most suitable place for Yin Soul Spirits to "live". The so-called yang soil refers to the vast and boundless earth soil, which will not cause harm to the yin soul, and the "senior brother" absorbs the yin qi of the earth veins from the depths of the ground through the locust tree, and the yin and yang complement each other to achieve a balance, so it cultivates very quickly...... Strictly speaking, Senior Brother is a legendary "ghost cultivator".

I can't sense anything other than the strong Yang Earth spiritual power, and the "Senior Brother" has completely disappeared, so it is impossible to know the use of the talisman from it. I tried to inject spiritual power, and the breath inside was also transmitted to my body, there was a feeling of soaking in a hot bath, and the spiritual power of the yang earth inside was nourishing my spiritual energy, obviously the spiritual power in the jade talisman was of great help to cultivators.

I tried a few times with my aura and divine sense, but to no avail, Lin Mei took the map and turned around and looked at it for a while, and asked me with a puzzled expression: "What does this mean?" ”

I took the map and looked at it carefully, and the first thing I could tell was that it was a map, with simple drawings of mountains, rivers and roads, and at the foot of the mountain there was a village, with small squares representing houses, and circles representing wells or stone mills. Not far outside the village, there is a shining sign that is supposed to be the location of the treasure, but there is not a word on the entire map.

I was speechless, this picture was drawn in a hurry by the person who buried the treasure back then, and it can be easily found by the person concerned with the drawing, so there is no need for words. Leave it to their sons and grandsons, as long as they know the approximate location, they can find the treasure with the drawings, but now everyone except Lin Mei is dead, and no one has told Lin Mei where the treasure is located, just on this map, where to find it? Besides, after so many years, there must have been a lot of changes, and looking at every small village in China may not match the map.

I smiled bitterly: "This is a treasure map, but I don't know which province, which county, which township and village, but I'm afraid we will never find it." Did Big Brother tell you to remember a certain place before? ”

Lin Mei thought about it and finally shook her head.

"So did he say where you came from, where you're going, or whatever?"

Lin Mei still shook her head: "He rarely spoke to me, so he instructed me in martial arts a few times, told me to pretend to be a ghost and scary, and sometimes didn't talk to me for a year or two." ”

I know it's true, the senior brother is a very conceited master, and he is also a conceited ghost when he dies, and he didn't expect that he would be killed so easily, so he didn't explain the "last words" in advance, and although Zuihou confessed, he didn't succeed in conveying it to me. Lin Mei's physique is weak and cold, and she has been attacked by Yin Qi for a long time, and if the "senior brother" communicates with her more, it will hurt her, so she doesn't speak as much as possible.

I put the jade talisman into Lin Mei's hand: "In the past, Senior Brother's Yin Soul was hidden in this piece of jade, and he originally had something to say to me, but my yang energy was too heavy, and it disappeared completely when I touched it, so your origin, the secret of this piece of jade, and the location pointed to by the treasure map may never be known." ”

Lin Mei said "um", her expression was calm, she only had respect for the senior brother, and she didn't have much other feelings, because she had long known that he was not human. She folded the treasure map and handed it to me along with the jade talisman: "These are useless to me, you can keep them." ”

"This piece of jade is very valuable, the money from the sale is enough for you to buy a house and land, and you will have a worry-free life for a lifetime......" I said with a smile, and suddenly my face changed, "Could it be that Lu Chengshan is looking for not only a treasure, but also this jade talisman?" ”

Lin Mei asked suspiciously: "No, even I didn't know there was this piece of jade." ”

I thought about it and said, "If this jade talisman really hides an invulnerable magic talisman inside, then it must have appeared in the hands of the Boxers, and only about a hundred years have passed, and there should still be people who know about its existence." For a person like Lu Chengshan who has achieved cultivation, the allure of treasure is not too great, and the value of this jade talisman is far more than treasure! ”

Lin Mei was a little puzzled, and I continued: "This piece of jade is the best spirit jade, ordinary people carry it on their bodies, it has great benefits for the body, and it can even prevent disasters, and it is also a rare ancient jade, so it is very valuable." And for cultivators, it is an unavoidable magic weapon, which can be used to foster yin souls and spirits, and can also be used to set up arrays, which has great benefits for cultivating spiritual energy and true qi, and may also hide magical talismans, which is a real priceless treasure, and ten treasures are not as good as this piece of jade, if Lu Chengshan knows that this piece of jade exists, he must get it at all costs! ”
