As the only witch doctor in the village, Xiaoyu's grandfather lives in the center, but there are no other residents in the vicinity, and it is obvious that everyone respects him and still has some fear in their hearts.

Under the leadership of Xiaoyu, Lin Yan soon came to the outside of the witch doctor's residence.

This place is different from the clan elder's side, there are no guards, and naturally there is no need to pass it on or anything.

Lin Yan successfully met the witch doctor, and Xiaoyu was just about to introduce him, when the witch doctor spoke: "It's Lin Gongzi, the old man has been admired for a long time!" ”

Compared with Lin Yan, he was not surprised, not to mention that Xiaoyu was his granddaughter, just by virtue of the status of the witch doctor in the villages and towns, he should not know his identity as an outsider.

The witch doctor smiled at Xiao Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, you go inside first, Grandpa and Lin Gongzi have something to discuss." ”

Xiao Yu nodded, then turned around and went back to the house, and winked playfully at Lin Yan before leaving.

The witch doctor said, "Lin Gongzi, please sit down!" ”

Lin Yan said: "You're welcome, I took the liberty to come to the door this time to ask you about something." ”

The witch doctor said, "Childe, please speak." ”

Lin Yan said: "I heard that there will be a festival in the village and town in a few days, I wonder if I can participate?" ”

The witch doctor said, "So that's it! Naturally, the more lively the festival is, the better, and I think the clan elders will agree. ”

Lin Yan continued: "I heard that people in the coastal areas generally worship the god of the sea, but I don't know where the sacred tree here is? ”

"Oh, it's not an intentional offense, it's just pure curiosity."

The witch doctor slandered in his heart: "I believe you are a ghost! Pure curiosity? I came all the way to see a festival, and by the way, I was curious about the patron saint of the local residents, and I am afraid that the drunkard is not in the bar! ”

He knew that this must have been said by his granddaughter, but this was not a secret, even if Xiaoyu didn't say it, Lin Yan would know it in a few days.

It's just that this topic directly put him on the fire, after all, as a witch doctor, these things should have been handled by him, if he said he didn't know, it would be too much to say!

But he had just gone to see the clan elder before, and he knew that the young man in front of him was coming for the sacred tree, so naturally it was not easy to inform him of the information.

After thinking for a moment, the witch doctor said, "Lord Divine Tree is the guardian spirit of our village and town, we have worshiped Him for generations, and Lord Divine Tree will also protect us. ”

"On the one hand, this festival is to celebrate and give thanks, and on the other hand, it is also to select a part of the clan who are responsible for worshiping the sacred tree, and take special rituals to pray for the safety of the village and town."

Lin Yan thought in his heart: "I see, it seems that this festival is not simple, and some clues may be found when the time comes." ”

He knew that the witch doctor was the limit of what he could say, and if he asked the other party to tell the real secret, it would be impossible!

The witch doctor smiled and said, "Since Lin Gongzi is interested in this festival, we can be lively and lively together when the time comes, and may Lord Shenshu also bless you!" ”

Lin Yan said: "Thank you for your blessings, I will definitely come!" ”

After that, the two discussed for a while, but the witch doctor kept talking about him, and seeing that he really couldn't get any useful information, Lin Yan turned around and left.

After a while, Xiao Yu came out of the back room and said, "Grandpa, where is Brother Lin?" ”

The witch doctor said, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Yu pursed his lips and said, "Grandpa, Brother Lin came to our house, and I haven't entertained him properly, why did you let him go?" ”

The witch doctor said: "Xiaoyu, you must know that he is an outsider after all, and people's hearts are unpredictable, if he has any other purpose......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Yu and said, "Grandpa, Brother Lin is a good person!" ”

The witch doctor complained in his heart: "I've only met a few times, how do you know that he is a good person?" At this time, even the 'big brother' is called, no, I have to let Xiaoyu contact him less in the future. ”

Sighing, the witch doctor didn't dwell on this matter, and continued: "Xiaoyu, the festival is approaching, you need to prepare well!" ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Grandpa, I will work hard!" ”

The witch doctor looked at Xiao Yu, his eyes were full of love, and he thought to himself: "The situation on the side of the sacred tree is becoming more and more unstable, and I don't know if this sacrificial ceremony can go smoothly." ”

"At this point in time, this young man named Lin Yan came looking for the Divine Tree, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"

He restrained his thoughts, no matter what, the safety of Xiaoyu comes first, and he will not hesitate to fight for this old life!

……

A few days have passed in a hurry, and the day of the festival has arrived, and the whole village and town are lit up with lights, which is more lively than the New Year.

There is an altar above the village square, and the townspeople are dressed in local ceremonial costumes around the altar, which looks quite solemn.

The clan elder sat on the throne, and after a period of opening, the emotions of the townspeople were also mobilized, and the next step was the witch doctor.

The so-called witch doctor, medical skills are naturally his strength, but more important is the word "witch", this profession claims to be able to communicate with ghosts and gods, the authenticity of which is difficult to verify, but the witch doctor here should have some ability.

Because there was something covered by a red cloth in the center of the altar, and when the red cloth was torn off, the true face inside was revealed, which was a pitch-black lightning strike wood!

The witch doctor chanted an obscure spell in his mouth, held the staff in his hand, and began to chant words around the lightning strike wood, and as he moved, there was a mysterious fluctuation spreading around.

Lin Yan carefully sensed it, and found that there was a faint life essence in it, if the creature could absorb it, then it would be able to improve the body's functions.

"Sure enough, there are some doorways!" Thinking so in his heart, Lin Yan did not act rashly, but continued to watch.

After the witch doctor went through the whole process, he said, "The ceremony has been completed, and the candidates are invited to come to the stage!" ”

As his voice fell, there were townspeople coming to power one after another, but Lin Yan found that these people were all young girls, and there was even a person he knew - Xiaoyu!

"What's going on?" At that moment, Lin Yan subconsciously wanted to classify it into some evil sect.

But if you think about it, Xiao Yu is the granddaughter of the witch doctor, and if there is really anything wrong with this ritual, then Xiao Yu should have been ruled out a long time ago. So, he should have thought of something wrong.

However, Lin Yan still pays attention to the field, Xiaoyu is a good girl, and she has helped him enthusiastically, if anything happens, he will save her as soon as possible to avoid harm.

"Step forward in turn!" The witch doctor spoke.

The first girl stepped forward, and after bowing to the witch doctor, she knelt in front of the lightning strike wood and prayed sincerely, reciting a special cipher in her mouth, presumably to communicate with the Lord of the Sacred Tree.

It's just that after a while, the pitch-black lightning strike wood didn't react, and the witch doctor shook his head and said, "Not recognized, next!" ”

The girl regretted stepping down, followed by the second, but it still didn't pass the approval.

After that, three more girls were tested one after another, and finally one of them successfully communicated with the Lord of the Sacred Tree, and a green shoot actually grew on the pitch-black lightning strike wood, exuding vitality.

The witch doctor was obviously happy too, and asked the girl to wait for the girl before continuing the test.

It's just that the results after that are not satisfactory, and when the ninth girl is tested, there is another one who has passed the ceremony, and the situation is similar to the previous girl.

As the ceremony progressed, the number of people was rapidly decreasing, and most of them failed to be recognized, and after some screening, only four girls passed the test, and at this time, only Xiaoyu was left without the test.

At this time, the witch doctor's face was heavy, and the expression of the clan elder was also very serious, the number of people who were recognized this time was much smaller than before, if this was the case, the harvest would fall off a cliff, if it continued to be like this in the future, it was a question whether the village and town could continue to maintain.

The witch doctor glanced at the little fish on the side and said, "Little fish, it's your turn!" ”

The little fish took a deep breath, then walked to the pitch-black lightning strike wood and began to pray, time passed quickly, and just when everyone thought they had failed, suddenly something changed abruptly.

The previous girls basically gave birth to a green shoot, and this is already the limit! But unlike the small fish, the green shoots began to grow at an astonishing rate, and in an instant they were covered with half of the lightning strike wood, and the green color that entered the eye was extremely stimulating to people's eyes.

"This ...... This ......" the witch doctor was speechless in astonishment, and his eyes lit up with joy. Although I knew that my granddaughter had an extraordinary talent, I didn't expect to reach this level.

As long as there are small fish, there shouldn't be much of a problem with this ceremony!

The clan elder stood up from the chair directly, and the old man's hand was still tightly grasping the back of the chair, obviously Xiaoyu's performance was also greatly beyond his expectations.

The townspeople around the altar cheered after the initial shock, which had not been seen in the villages for many years!

The last time something like this happened, the villages and towns experienced a boom that lasted for several years, and only about a third of the green shoots were born. Xiaoyu's performance this time is enough to surpass the past and solve the urgent needs of villages and towns!

And when the small fish gave birth to half of the green shoots, Lin Yan in the audience noticed that the rich vitality was spreading around, and it was many times stronger than before.

The lightning struck the wood and pulled out new shoots, which invisibly implied the true meaning of "destruction and rebirth", and the "Dead Wood Jue" in Lin Yan's body operated directly and uncontrollably, and the breath of "destruction and new life" intertwined in his body and suddenly spread.

As if it was pulled by the aura in Lin Yan's body, the lightning strike wood suddenly flew up from the altar, swept above Lin Yan's head and hovered above Lin Yan's head in the shocked eyes of everyone.

Lin Yan wanted to stop the operation of "Dead Wood Jue", after all, this was not his high-profile place, if he disrupted the other party's important ceremony on such an occasion, he didn't know what kind of hostility it would cause these townspeople, and it would be even more difficult to explore the matter of the Fusang Divine Tree at that time!

However, after working hard for a long time, Lin Yan found that he couldn't control the operation of "Dead Wood Jue" at all, it and the lightning strike wood above his head were constantly attracting each other, and the aura of "destruction and rebirth" was constantly spreading out from it.

"Quick! Leave him! The witch doctor was the first to react and shouted urgently.

Lin Yan's aura around him was extremely unstable now, and anyone who approached him casually would be harmed, and these escaping aura was far from being something that these townspeople could resist.

The witch doctor's words were still very effective, and Lin Yan's surroundings were instantly cleared of a vacuum, and everyone looked at him intently.

As the power in Lin Yan's body had some interaction and resonance with the lightning strike wood, the dark lightning strike wood changed again, and the green shoots that covered about half of it began to grow wildly, and in just an instant, it was covered with the entire lightning strike wood.

This is not over, the green shoots began to grow continuously, the original black lightning wood gradually regained its original color, re-grew branches, and even evolved towards a complete tree, and in a short time, a green tree was presented in front of everyone.

Not to mention the ordinary townspeople, even the clan elders and witch doctors were so shocked that they couldn't speak, they just looked at this scene in a daze, their eyes full of disbelief!

If Xiaoyu's performance before was amazing, then the changes caused by Lin Yan were completely incomprehensible!

If someone had told him a moment before that such a miracle was going to happen, the witch doctor would have laughed and rewarded him with a couple of big-eared scrapers. After all, making up stories has to be made up like some, how can such an unreasonable thing happen?

And now the witch doctor has found out that he is wrong, and he is extremely wrong, this world is too crazy, and his own cultivation is still not enough!

After the lightning strike wood grew into a green tree, Lin Yan was finally able to regain control of the power in his body, at that moment just now, this lightning strike wood absorbed his extremely majestic life force, if it weren't for the fact that "Dead Wood Jue" is now a great achievement, coupled with the strength of his own innate realm, he really has to let this weird lightning strike wood be sucked dry!

Lin Yan stretched out his hand and made a move, and the size of the lightning strike wood continued to shrink, and then he was caught in his hand, although the size was almost the same as just now, but the form was completely different. Perhaps, at this moment, it should be called the "lightning strike tree"!

The witch doctor was the first to react and said, "Young Master Lin, you ......"

Lin Yan scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't know what's going on with this matter if I want to say it, can you believe it?" ”

The witch doctor and the clan elder were full of black lines, and the other townspeople were also staring at Lin Yan with the eyes of fools. made such a big move, saying that he didn't know, who were fooling?

Lin Yan looked at their eyes and knew that the other party would not easily believe in him, but such a change was indeed an accident, and he didn't want to!

"That's not right!" Suddenly, Lin Yan seemed to think of something: "This lightning strike wood resonates because of the power of 'destruction and rebirth' in my body, in other words, it should have this power itself!" ”

"And on the shore of the East China Sea, a tree with such special power can easily be associated, this lightning strike wood should be a part of the Fuso Divine Tree!"

Lin Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and the clue was finally found!
