Chapter 5 Why is Brother Wu laughing?
There was calm on the ground, and after the thousand-year-old tree demon took a blow, it seemed that he had fled and had no thoughts of continuing to fight with Wu Xingzhi.
But Wu Xingzhi did not relax his vigilance, he could feel that the strong malice around him did not dissipate, but became more intense with the disappearance of the thousand-year-old tree demon.
"Seniors be careful, grandma has been entrenched here for many years, there are many means, what he did before was just a doppelganger of grandma, his body is buried under this land, or rather, within a radius of several miles, it is within the scope of grandma's body."
Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but remind, what she said to the Millennium Tree Demon before, it meant that she had completely broken with the Millennium Tree Demon, and if she wanted to survive, she could only follow Wu Xingzhi to the dark, but fortunately, Wu Xingzhi's strength was indeed as she expected, at least he was also a master above the Jindan realm.
"Doppelganger?" Wu Xingzhi frowned slightly, this was his first time fighting with monsters, different from the previous world, although the people in the previous world also had all kinds of strange abilities, they were all based on the power of the Devil Fruit of the Holy Tree, and in essence, they still relied on the domineering energy generated by their own physique, and they were more straightforward.
But the monsters are different, in addition to their incomparably strong and tough bodies, they can also perform all kinds of magical spells, such as the Millennium Tree Demon, Wu Xingzhi even needs to use all his strength to be able to cut off the other party's limbs, don't think about it, the other party must have at least reached the transcendent realm.
Now although the Millennium Dryad has not made a move for the time being, it is obviously hiding in the shadows and observing itself closely, and it may launch a thunderous strike at any time, so that Wu Xingzhi has to be cautious.
"Since this thousand-year-old dryad is so strong, why do you need a ghost like you to worship him?" Wu Xingzhi suddenly asked, "With his strength, it's much faster to do it yourself, right?" β
"Why do seniors knowingly ask?" Nie Xiaoqian blurted out, this person obviously also keeps ghosts in captivity, how can she not understand the Tao, but then she realized that she had lost her words, and hurriedly replied: "I didn't mean that, seniors and grandma are naturally different." β
"Predecessors as cultivators, naturally able to walk freely in this world, but the demon is different, once the act is too rampant, it is inevitable to put yourself in the place of public target, grandma can secretly develop in Lanruo Temple for many years, on the one hand, because he has always been cautious, never hurt people with his true body, but just forced us and other lonely souls and wild ghosts to worship on his behalf, so the name of the thousand-year-old tree demon has never been spread, on the other hand, ......"
Nie Xiaoqian had a resentful look on her face: "The people who harm people are all us, and this karma is naturally borne by us, what Grandma did was just to draw bones and marrow from us, and did not directly attack mortals, although it was inevitable that it would be contaminated with a trace of karma, but it was far from being punished by God." β
"I see." Wu Xing knew it and said, "That's why you want to get out of the control of the thousand-year-old tree demon." β
"Xiao Qian has been in Lanruo Temple for many years, although she has been trying her best not to hurt people's lives, but for a long time, she has also been riddled with karma, and if she continues like this, within three years, Xiao Qian will lose her mind, be punished by God, and her soul will be scattered. She looked at the translucent spring flowers and autumn moon on the side, and said: "The most serious of us is Qiu Yue, karma has even affected her temperament, recently she has become more and more hands-free, and even forcibly takes the yang energy of the living, even if the predecessors don't make a move, Qiu Yue is probably not far from madness, now that Qiu Yue has been seized of the ghost qi, maybe it's still a good thing, at least she doesn't have the ability to go further, and the karma stops here." β
"Karma?" Wu Xingzhi muttered to himself, it seems that in this world, karma is really not just a moral standard set by human beings, but a force that can indeed affect reality.
This world seems to have its own unique operating rules, Wu Xingzhi only got a glimpse of a small part of it at this time, and if he wants to figure it out thoroughly, and even complete the basic task, he has to take it step by step.
The first step is to take the thousand-year-old dryad.
Thinking of this, Wu Xingzhi temporarily let go of the intricacies in his heart and said, "Since this old guy is unwilling to come out and do something with me, then let's go in and find him." β
He looked at Nie Xiaoqian: "You have been with him for so many years, you should know how to do it, right?" Don't tell me I need to dig three feet into the ground and destroy all the roots in this radius. β
Nie Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment: "Isn't the predecessor supposed to be better at this kind of thing than me?" β
Wu Xingzhi didn't say anything, just looked at her expressionlessly.
Nie Xiaoqian's face became more and more empty, she couldn't figure out Wu Xingzhi's thoughts, so she could only say honestly: "Although grandma's body is extremely huge, there is still a core, grandma is only one step away from condensing the demon pill, once she condenses the pill, she can transform into a person who walks freely in the world, and that half-finished demon pill is the key point of grandma, but my status is humble, and I can't know where grandma's demon pill is." β
"If there is no means to find out the location of the demon pill...... Nie Xiaoqian paused: "I'm afraid I can really only dig three feet into the ground, after all, grandma is different from ordinary monsters, he is a tree demon, and he can transfer the location of the demon pill at any time." β
She actually preferred to take Wu Xingzhi directly to find where her wreckage was, and then leave Lanruo Temple directly, but she was self-aware, and she was not qualified to make requests to the other party, so she wisely kept her mouth shut.
Wu Xingzhi frowned, digging three feet into the ground is the worst choice, the strength of the Millennium Tree Demon is not low, of course he can beat the other party, after all, the transcendent is not the same as the extraordinary, as a hexagonal warrior, as long as he does not completely crush himself in a certain aspect, then the result will not be different, however, this does not mean that he can crush the Millennium Tree Demon.
He thought for a moment and suddenly spoke: "The tree demon mentioned that bearded man named Yan Chixia before, and he seems to be a little jealous? Where did he come from? β
"This ...... Xiao Qian didn't know. Nie Xiaoqian said honestly: "That Taoist priest came to Lanruo Temple a few days ago, and grandma and he both knew each other's existence, but there was no confrontation. β
"I heard grandma say, that Taoist monk cultivation is not shallow, and it is a pure Taoist sword cultivation, full of merits, not easy to provoke, fortunately, the other party seems to have no intention of killing demons, should be confused by the demons, just want to use the name of Lanruo Temple to stay away from the world, although grandma is very dissatisfied with the other party's nosy affairs from time to time, but he is at the critical moment of the Dan, so he only told us to stay away from the Taoist."
"Taoist Sword Cultivator?" Wu Xingzhi suddenly smiled: "Very good, let's go meet that bearded man first." β
Nie Xiaoqian was stunned: "Did the seniors want to use the power of that Taoist priest to deal with grandma?" But the seniors themselvesβ"
She stopped talking and didn't explain, in her eyes, Wu Xingzhi was obviously an evil monk who resisted ghosts, and he was not a fellow traveler with that merit-riddled and obviously righteous person.
"Needless to say."
Wu Xingzhi descended directly from mid-air, "I just need him to help me find out where the demon pill of the tree demon is, as long as I show kindness, he shouldn't refuse." β
Looking at Nie Xiaoqian's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Wu Xingzhi added: "Don't worry, I'm sure, if he can't feel it, then hit him until he can feel it." β
β......β
You're not looking for help, you're preparing to build more strong enemies, are you?
It can only be said that the predecessor is really an evil monk?
One person and one ghost didn't say much, and went directly in the direction of the broken temple, and after walking a few steps, Wu Xingzhi suddenly looked stunned.
At his own speed, the distance of hundreds of meters is instantaneous, why is the broken temple still ahead, and the distance has not changed at all?
He frowned and took a few steps forward, and sure enough, he felt that he had indeed moved forward, but the ruined temple was still far away.
"Sorcery?" Wu Xingzhi knew in his heart: "It seems that this tree demon doesn't want me to find a bearded man." β
"It's grandma's trick, every grass and tree around is under grandma's control, and even grandma's body is transformed, if you don't cast a spell to break it, just rely on brute force to walk, and you're just spinning in place when you're tired." Nie Xiaoqian said: "Seniors, don't compete with yourself, just cast a spell to break the obstacles." β
After all, it was just a small spell, and Nie Xiaoqian didn't think that the Jindan monk in her mind would be trapped.
Wu Xingzhi looked around and was silent for a moment.
Finally, he nodded.
"You fly to the sky first and fly higher, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to carry it."
Nie Xiaoqian showed a look of doubt, it was just a small trick to break the obstacle, and she was not a lonely ghost who would disperse as soon as the wind blew, what could she not bear?
However, within a short time of getting along with Wu Xingzhi, she learned one thing, asking less, answering more, and obeying her words.
So she floated up obediently.
Wu Xingzhi glanced up at her, the other party's skirt fluttered in the wind, and from his perspective, he could almost see the scenery above the other party's slender legs.
So Wu Xingzhi said: "Fly a little higher." β
β...... Good. Nie Xiaoqian pursed her lips.
I still think that this senior's heart is like water, and he is not tempted by himself at all, do you like this kind of tune?
This....... It's not impossible.
She flew more than ten meters high, and even quietly controlled the curvature of her skirt to flutter a little more, and then looked down, but unexpectedly found that the other party had lowered her head, and did not pay attention to herself at all, but took a deep breath, and then made a clean fist and blasted towards the ground.
The wind brought by the exaggerated force made Nie Xiaoqian almost not stabilize her figure, and the skirt flew upside down directly to almost cover her eyes, but she didn't have the heart to pay attention to these small problems, with a deafening loud noise, Wu Xingzhi's surroundings were destroyed in an instant, not to mention the dead grass and trees, even the soil skin was raised, and under the soil skin, the huge black tree roots were shattered into wood slag, revealing the torso of the thousand-year-old tree demon that was even more intricate and intertwined below.
The huge crater stretched beneath the walls of the ruined temple before stopping.
Wu Xingzhi clapped his hands, straightened up, and tentatively took a few steps towards the broken temple, and sure enough, the previous trick had disappeared.
Of course, it was gone, and there was not even a single grass within a radius of several hundred meters.
"Before, senpai?" Nie Xiaoqian stammered, "What are you doing?" β
"Breaking the blindfold?" Wu Xingzhi said as a matter of course: "As the so-called one force breaks ten thousand laws, since the thousand-year-old tree demon relies on the grass and trees transformed by his body as obstacles, then I will directly destroy everything around me and it will be over soon?" β
"Tsk, carving insect skills, but that's it."
"......" Nie Xiaoqian didn't know what kind of expression to show for a while, so she could only smile dryly: "The seniors are really unique, Xiaoqian admires them." β
It seemed that he was frightened by Wu Xingzhi's blow just now, and the Millennium Tree Demon did not continue to stop it, Wu Xingzhi and Nie Xiaoqian smoothly entered the broken temple, and heard a frightened shout from the broken temple from a distance, and a figure ran towards the two of them in a panic with his head in his hands.
"The earth dragon has turned over!"
Wu Xingzhi saw at a glance that this person was the scholar from before, so he said, "What are you doing in a panic? β
The scholar raised his head, looked at the two people in front of him, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Wu, run, the earth dragon turns over, this temple will collapse soon!" Hurry up and take refuge in an open area with me, lest I be crushed in this wilderness, and no one will know if I die! β
He kept talking, turning to Nie Xiaoqian, "And this girl too, you-"
The words stopped abruptly, his movements stopped as if time was frozen, his eyes looked at Nie Xiaoqian in a daze, and his Adam's apple moved: "You...... You...... I ......"
His face turned red in an instant, and he turned over and completely left it behind, and couldn't help but say: "Xiaosheng Ning Caichen, I don't know the girl's name?" β
Nie Xiaoqian's conditioned reflex wanted to show her previous charming look, but thinking of Wu Xingzhi standing beside her, she instantly suppressed her impulse, tilted her head slightly, and said coldly: "Dengzi, don't you want to run for your life?" β
"The earth movement has stopped, I think the earth dragon has passed, it is Xiaosheng who is impulsive, if you surprise the beauty, please forgive me." Ning Caichen bowed deeply and said, "What a coincidence that I met a girl at this critical moment when the earth dragon turned over?" There must be a fate between you and me. β
Seeing that Nie Xiaoqian's face was expressionless, he was not discouraged, and continued: "Girl, although the earth dragon has passed, this place is still dangerous, it is a famous ghost cave, if the girl doesn't dislike it, let's find a place to hide together, and when the day comes, Xiaosheng will escort the girl to a safe place." β
"It's up to you, a weak scholar, to take care of yourself first." Nie Xiaoqian said mercilessly.
"I ...... Xiaosheng has always been strong, and he has never been invincible in ten miles and eight towns. Ning Caichen defended in vain: "Probably because of this ghost place, I was suddenly weak, the girl rest assured, even so, before the little life and death, never let the girl hurt the slightest hair, just the so-called tribulation and see the truth, Xiao Sheng really wants to know the girl and achieve the friendship of life and death." β
"Nonsense." Nie Xiaoqian snorted coldly, and was about to refute it, when she suddenly heard Wu Xingzhi laughing.
"Friends of life and death? Hahaha, you scholar has always used allusions indiscriminately, and this time it is really appropriate. β
Nie Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, suddenly reacted, and suddenly blushed, she didn't dare to lose her temper at Wu Xingzhi, so she could only glare at Ning Caichen fiercely.
Ning Caichen was a little inexplicable, looked at Wu Xingzhi blankly, and said:
"Why is Brother Wu laughing?"
