Chapter 7: Bronze Branches

That's right! According to the development of the original plot, Lao Itch should have sneaked out to dig bronze branches last night, and then Wu Xiaoxie found out that something was wrong with Lao Itch in the middle of the night, and the two had a quarrel, and Lao Itch made up some words half-truths to fool Wu Xiaoxi.

But these things don't seem to have happened now, so what went wrong?

Zhang Qixun was confused at this time, and could only ask the system in his mind.

[System, do you know what happened last night?] Why do I feel as if I've forgotten something again? ]

The system did not reply.

Zhang Qixun felt even more strange in his heart, and asked three times in a row, and the system finally spoke.

[Sorry, host.] 】

[The consciousness in that bronze branch wanted to take away the host, and I had to temporarily put the host's consciousness into a deep sleep]

Zhang Jixun frowned, [What happened last night?] ]

In a few words, the system briefly recounted the situation of last night.

The more Zhang Qixun listened, the more terrifying he felt, [A single small branch can take away me, wouldn't that whole bronze tree be able to tear me down and eat it!] ]

The system pauses and continues.

[Host rest assured, the energy in the single bronze tree has been devoured by me, and the predatory consciousness derived from it has also been crushed and disappeared by me, and the real bronze tree body will not take away the host]

Zhang Qixun sneered, [Do you really have something to do with the Bronze Tree, or do you mean that you are the consciousness of the Bronze Tree's body?] ]

The system was silent for a few seconds, and chose to avoid the important and light.

[The system will not harm the host]

Zhang Qixun was not at ease, [How do you know that the consciousness in the bronze tree will not take the opportunity to control you and kill me?] Or are you more powerful than the Bronze Tree? ]

The system's voice explained, with a little helplessness:

[The consciousness of the bronze tree is good at learning, similar to the red of the close Zhu and the black of the ink, the place where the branch is buried must have the corpse of the greedy and evil person before death, the consciousness of the person before death affects the bronze branch, and the host has the energy of the bronze tree, so the consciousness senses the host and produces plunder, not fusion. 】

Zhang Qixun threatened viciously [If you dare to lie to me, I will ...... Just ......]

Come to think of it, he doesn't seem to have anything to threaten the system.

Bolt Q! It's embarrassing.

"Wooden fish? What do you want, hurry up and keep up. Wu Xiaoxie turned around and called him.

"Here we go." Zhang Qi responded and hurriedly followed.

Quickly walked two steps to Wu Xiaoxie's ear, and said in a low voice: "Naive, I remember what happened last night." ”

Wu Xiaoxie's eyes widened, his feet paused, and he said in surprise: "Really? ”

Zhang Qixun nodded and motioned for him to continue walking, "I'll tell you when the details are over, follow Lao Itch first, and see where he wants to take us." ”

Wu Xiaoxie said "um", he also planned to do so, and his originally apprehensive heart was relaxed, but now that Muyu remembered it, he only felt a sense of security.

Returning to the three-way intersection, Old Itch stepped onto the road on the right.

Zhang Qixun and Wu Xiaoxie glanced at each other, and Wu Xiaoxie snorted behind the old itch.

Zhang Qixun nodded, and the two followed.

After walking through a mountain stream, there are several small tiled houses in front, and after going around is the village, and there are a few old men at the entrance of the village leaning against the stone pier and eating oil cakes.

Wu Xiaoxie likes to eat this, and his eyes are full of the words "want to eat, want to eat".

But they had planned to go around without going into the village.

The old itch smashed his mouth, and he was also a little moved, "I want to ...... Why don't we buy two? ”

"If you want to eat it, you can buy it." Zhang Qixun smiled and walked towards the village.

Wu Xiaoxie grinned and kept up.

His cash had been almost spent when he was in the town before, and now the two pockets were empty, cleaner than licking, and only a few bank cards were left.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoxie couldn't help but glare at the old itch.

The old itch smirked and followed.

I bought 20 oil cakes at a family's house, and he still had soy milk at home, and he bought three bowls at once, and ate them without stopping.

Lao Itch wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said, "I'll take you two to find an old hunter who will lead the way into the mountains for us people." ”

Saying that, he came to a two-story tiled house at the back of the village.

On the chaise longue at the door, a white-bearded old man was basking in the sun.

Lao Itch said hello very skillfully, "Old man Liu, bask in the sun." ”

The white-bearded old man stared at the old itch with squinted eyes for a long time, "Ao Yo, this person is old, and his eyes are gone, are you?" ”

Old Itch chatted with him for a few words and said the purpose of the trip.

"No, no, no." The white-bearded old man shook his head and didn't agree, you can't go into the mountain at this time, and I won't lead the team, so the old man advises you not to go into the mountain. ”

"Why?" Wu Xiaoxie asked puzzled.

At this time, the autumn is high and cool, the weather is clear, isn't it a good time to go into the mountains to hunt, why not go into the mountains?

"It's not that the whole mountain can't be entered." Old man Liu picked up the tea bowl on the small table and took a sip, spit out a piece of tea leaves, "I mean, you can't enter the place you want to go." ”

Zhang Qixun pulled a low stool and sat down, and asked with a smile, "How do you know where we are going?" ”

Old man Liu laughed, and the old god said, "You outsiders are going to go to nothing other than that place." ”

Outsiders? It seems that someone had been to this village before them, and had also looked for Old Man Liu.

It's probably Uncle Tai's gang.

"Then tell me, why can't you enter that place?" Zhang Qi searched.

"What?" Old man Liu put down the tea bowl, "Do you really want to go into the clamp ditch?" That's life-threatening. ”

Shaking his head as he spoke, he hummed Qin Yan and got up and was about to go to the house.

Zhang Qixun stopped him, took it out of his pocket and shook it, "Now you can talk about it." ”

Old man Liu was obviously a little moved, his mouth moved, and his eyes couldn't stop looking at the ticket.

Seeing this, Zhang Qixun took out another one, and before he could speak, Old Man Liu quickly took away two red tickets, and the action was so slippery that he couldn't tell that it was an eighty-year-old man.

The corners of Wu Xiaoxie's mouth twitched, sure enough, there is money to make grinding ghosts, and if one is not enough, there will be two.

Old man Liu sat on the recliner again, "It's not that I don't hide it, I know that this is a hunter in my village, and this season, that place is haunted and full of thieves." ”

"There is another wave of people in front of you who also went to Jiazigou, and they didn't listen to persuasion."

Old Itch interjected: "Haunted? Haunted? Above...... Last time we went, it was ...... Nothing happened. ”

Old man Liu took a closer look at the old itch when he heard this, and suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder I see that you are a little familiar, I was afraid of scaring you last time, so I didn't tell you that that place is actually a plank road for Yin soldiers, if you really have bad luck, it is indispensable that the soul will be hooked away to see Lord Yama." ”
