Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Pu Tree

"Lei Lei ......"

On an unknown hill, Zhou Chuanqing wept sadly.

Qiao Leilei and he have been friends since childhood, and the relationship between the two is good enough to wear a pair of pants. After worshipping the Heavenly Sect together, they also supported each other and encouraged each other, and both achieved today's achievements. But today, he watched his brother die tragically, and he couldn't even restrain his body.

Wang Huashan comforted him and blamed himself: "It's my fault, I didn't see that there was such a dangerous thing hidden in the crooked neck tree, so that Senior Brother Qiao sacrificed in vain." ”

Ding Jin on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Senior brother, don't blame yourself, you can't be blamed for this." After all, it was a yin crow, and it was already a blessing for the senior brother that a few of us were able to get out of the way. ”

"Nope. Wang Huashan shook his head and said, "When I return to the sect, I will punish the sect master." After three years of thinking about it, he worshiped the spirit of Brother Qiao's in the sky. ”

He took a deep breath, suppressed the grief in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "So, we can't be immersed in the grief of losing Senior Brother Qiao anymore. The danger of the Eclipse Mausoleum, I think you should have a deep understanding. Don't forget that the purpose of our coming here is to find and bring back the banner of Lord Rong and win the last place for the sect to participate in the imperial examination. ”

Zhou Chuanqing wiped his tears and continued: "Yes, senior brother, what should we do next." ”

Wang Huashan looked at the surrounding environment.

Because of the panicked escape just now, several of them have now completely lost their way.

Wang Huashan didn't dare to make any decision easily, after all, he was carrying the lives of his junior brothers.

He sat down cross-legged, looked at Su Xuan with a serious expression, and asked, "Little junior brother, how did you see that there was a hanged ghost hanging on the crooked neck tree?"

Wang Huashan's question suddenly woke up Zhou Chuanqing and Ding Jin.

Yes, it is clear that the senior brother has not been able to detect any abnormality, how did this little junior brother who only has the early realm of physical movement find out?

Su Xuan scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Zhou Chuanqing immediately shouted: "It's all this time, do you still want to hide anything?"

Su Xuan immediately waved his hand and defended in a panic: "It's not like this, I'm just afraid that you won't believe it if you say it." ”

"Oh, what's going on?"

Su Xuan was helpless, so he had to point to the lazy snow-white beast on his head and said, "Actually, those two times, it was all reminded of me by this little guy." ”

"Twice, including the one at the head of the snake in the mound?"

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Chuanqing didn't believe it, looked at the snow-white beast with suspicion, and questioned: "Just this little kitten?"

"Meow. ”

The snow-white beast's eyes widened slightly, and it let out a chirp.

"What does that mean?"

Although they couldn't understand the meaning of this cry, everyone felt a strange sense of disdain from it.

Su Xuan looked embarrassed and explained, "It said it wasn't a cat......"

Su Xuan wanted to speak and stopped.

"And what? How do I think there's something else in it?"

Su Xuan lowered his head and said softly, "You stupid human ......"

Zhou Chuanqing was furious when he heard this, and glared at Su Xuan. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, so he stared angrily at the snow-white beast above his head again.

"Made, you have been despised by a little brute!

"Meow ......"

The snow-white beast didn't give him a single eye, stretched his waist, and yawned long.

Wang Huashan looked at Su Xuan, who was embarrassed, and asked, "Do you know beast language?"

Su Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know beast language, but I don't know what's going on, anyway, I can understand what this little guy means." ”

Wang Huashan looked thoughtful.

Twice in a row, he wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think it was all luck. This little kitten ......

Well, maybe not a cat, but you can't treat it as an ordinary pet anyway.

"Can it help us find a safe place to spend the night?"

The speed of time in the Eclipse Mausoleum was obviously different from the outside, it was still noon outside when they entered, and it was not long ago now, but it was already approaching evening inside.

Needless to say, the eclipse tomb at night is more dangerous than during the day. The four of them must find a safe place to shelter as soon as possible to survive the long, dangerous night.

"Meow ......"

The snow-white beast called, and Su Xuan's expression looked very unnatural.

"What does it say?" Zhou Chuanqing immediately couldn't wait to ask.

Su Xuan scratched his head and explained embarrassedly: "It said it could take you to a safe place, but ...... But it needs to be paid. ”

"Remuneration?" Ding Jin on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily, "Isn't helping us just helping your master?

"Meow ......"

The snow-white beast sneered very humanely, and the disdainful look made him jump to his feet in anger.

Su Xuan said embarrassedly: "I'm not the owner of the little guy......"

Su Xuan thought to himself that it was good that this little guy was not a cat, otherwise he was just a poor shovel officer.

Wang Huashan stopped the indignation of his juniors and disciples, and asked loudly, "What kind of reward does it want?"

"An elixir that can conceive and nourish the body. ”

His eyes froze, and he took a deep look at the indifferent snow-white beast, and then took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and said: "There are a few pills of Yunshen Pill in it, whether it is to ** or spiritual damage, it has a great effect." ”

"Senior brother, how can you ......?"

Zhou Chuanqing shouted, the previous senior brother had already lost the sword in the sleeve of true love, and at this time, he took out such a precious elixir, which made him embarrassed.

Wang Huashan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can ensure safety, these things outside your body are nothing." How's that, are you satisfied with the pay?"

"Meow. ”

The snow-white beast stretched out its claws to pull the cork off the bottle, leaned close to its nose and sniffed, and the little face showed a satisfied look. Pour out a few snow-white pills, and swallow them all in his stomach with a roll of his tongue.

Seeing its smooth movements, Zhou Chuanqing and Ding Jin exclaimed: "It's amazing, this thing is really fine!"

The corners of Su Xuan's mouth twitched, thinking that this was completely practice makes perfect, his own elixir was not occupied by it in vain, at least this fluent movement was still very pleasing to the eye.

Licking his lips, the snow-white beast looked a little unsatisfied.

"Meow. ”

It screamed softly, and Su Xuan immediately understood, leading everyone in a certain direction.

Night is approaching, and in the Eclipse Mausoleum, the dim sunset gradually sets in the yellow sand.

A strange purple moon is rising.

In the last rays of the setting sun, the snow-white beast finally led everyone to a safe place.

In front of me, a pampas tree with thick leaves stands tall. The sturdy branches, the green leaves, everything seemed out of place with the terrible sight of the graves all around it.

"This cattail tree...... Isn't it like the crooked neck tree again?"

Ding Jin asked tremblingly, he was really frightened by what he had experienced before.

"Nope. Wang Huashan shook his head and denied, "With your heart, you can feel the tranquility and tranquility emanating from this pu tree." The fact that such a holy tree can grow in such a barren land may indeed be able to shelter our safety. ”

"But......" even Zhou Chuanqing questioned, "just put all your hopes on that little animal...... Is it really okay to be on a little thing?"

He originally thought that the so-called safe place should at least be a cave or something, a place that could be easily defended. And here, although there is a holy pampas tree that can calm people's hearts, there are so many graves in the open space. In case of any accidents, these people don't even have a chance to escape!

"At least this cattail tree won't hurt us. Wang Huashan said, "Besides, when night falls, we don't have time to go anywhere else." Believe in that little guy, believe in the little brother. ”

Not to mention the conversation between the three of them, the snow-white beast raised its head and looked at the cattail tree shining in the night, and its royal blue eyes revealed a touch of sad remembrance.

It surprisingly took the initiative to leave the top of Su Xuan's head and scurry onto the trunk of the tree, its little paws caressing the rough bark.

"Meow, meow......"

The snow-white beast murmured softly, as if to tell it something sadly.

"Boom la la ......"

The pu leaves hanging on the pu tree are automatic without wind at the moment, and the sound of rattling seems to be comforting the sad mood of the little one.

Four broad pampas suddenly fell from the branches.

"Meow. ”

Su Xuan hurriedly translated: "It said that as long as a few of us sit cross-legged on the leaves, we can keep a night worry-free." ”

When Wang Huashan heard this, he immediately tried it, but when he sat down, his face changed suddenly.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Senior brother, don't scare us!"

Ding Jinbei, who had been frightened, screamed like a snake.

Wang Huashan said in a deep voice: "It's okay, this Pu Ye does have a peaceful and holy atmosphere, and it should be able to dispel the ordinary ghosts of the Eclipse Sun Tomb." I was just shocked, sitting cross-legged on it, and instantly my thoughts came to me that this pu leaf may also have the miraculous effect of promoting cultivation. ”

"Really?"

Zhou Chuanqing couldn't wait to try it, and then sighed dumbfounded: "It's incredible? What kind of pu tree is this, one of its leaves still has this effect, if you bring it back to the sect......

"Silence!"

Wang Huashan stopped his topic, bowed to the faintly glowing pu tree, and then said solemnly: "We have already been lucky to be protected by this tree, how can we have that kind of greedy thought? ”

"Yes, Senior Brother. ”

Zhou Chuanqing also followed his example, saluted respectfully to Pu Shu, and muttered in his mouth: "The holy tree is not strange, I am just talking, how dare I really do that." You don't remember the villain, you must forgive me. ”

"Boom la la ......"

The leaves of the trees were full of windless and automatic, as if to show that he did not take this matter to heart.

Zhou Chuanqing sat on the ground in horror, tremblingly pointed to the peaceful pu tree, and stammered: "It, it really understands what I say!

Why should I use it?

Su Xuan looked at the snow-white beast curled up on the tree, although he felt a sense of loss in his heart, but he felt that this beast and a tree were together, and there was an inexplicable fit, as if he was born like this.

Wang Huashan saw all this in his eyes, but he was secretly thinking in his heart.

"Is it a demon?"

There are two kinds of demons. Tigers and leopards are like essences, which are called demon beasts; Plants and trees are called goblins.

But whether it is a demon beast or a goblin, the demon clan has long been driven to the west of the continent by Dakang many years ago, and it is extremely difficult to see any kind of demon in today's human territory.

However, Wang Huashan now suspects that this snow-white beast is very likely to be a demon beast, and the holy pu tree is very likely to be a goblin.

Humans and demons have been hostile for a long time, and although the relationship between the two races has eased in recent years, they have not reduced their guard against each other.

The reminder of the snow-white beast saved them from the crows, and the cattail tree sheltered them through the more dangerous nights of the Eclipse Tomb.

Wang Huashan's heart was entangled in what kind of mentality he should face them.

At the beginning of the moon, a hazy purple meaning permeated the entire Eclipse Mausoleum.

And this, as if it was some kind of horn, began to summon the yin in the mausoleum.

"Kerala, Kerala ......"

The strange sound that made people sour suddenly woke up the four teenagers who were sitting cross-legged under the pu tree and cultivating quietly.

"What is this ......?"

Through the purple moonlight, everyone dimly saw that pairs of white bones poked out of the graves all over the surrounding area, and the buried dead bodies crawled out of their respective tombs.

As if attracted by the faint brilliance of the pampas trees, they stared at this place with their eyes blazing with ghosts, bumping, one step at a time, swaying and gathering here.

"It's over, we're surrounded!"

Ding Jin cried and shouted with a sad face, and when he saw the nearby ghosts, he was even more frightened and couldn't move.

Some of the ghosts may have been buried for a long time, and all that was left was a pale skeleton. But more of it is rotting all over the body, especially the face is left with half of the flesh and skin, which is terrifying.

Wang Huashan couldn't help but look at the snow-white beast, but found that it was still lying on the pu tree safely, as if it had no idea about such a dangerous situation.

He stood up, but kept in mind Su Xuan's reminder, and did not leave the range of Pu Ye, and whispered to the three of them: "Be ready, don't make a sound, wait and see." ”

Su Xuan subconsciously touched the top of his head, but felt empty. Looking at the little guy who didn't move, his hanging heart also relaxed slightly.

These ghosts gradually approached the few of them, and just when Ding Jin was about to endure it to the limit, their footsteps suddenly stopped, as if they had touched a wall, and they couldn't get by.

Wang Huashan gathered his divine thoughts in his eyes, and only then did he realize that there was a curtain in front of the ghosts that exuded holy light. And this curtain winds around, centered on the pampas tree, completely enveloping the place.

"Enchantment?"

Wang Huashan breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that with this protection, the few of them finally didn't have to worry about being scared, and they were buried in the mouths of these ghosts.

The hollow eyes radiated ghostly fire, and these ghosts crawling out of the grave clearly had no intelligence. After trying repeatedly but couldn't get over, they turned around and left.

"Whew...... Finally gone, it should be safe now, right? I'm scared to death!"

Ding Jin hurriedly gasped, those terrifying-looking ghosts just now really scared him a lot.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the ghosts that were gradually moving away suddenly roared in unison, and his heart that had not yet let go hung again!
