Chapter Seventy-One: The Strange Tree

"Huh? Why am I crying?"

Zhao Dailei took out a tissue, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Mr. Zhuge , I have a very strange feeling, as if ...... It seems that the dream float is not far from me!"

People who are connected by blood will have a special sense, and it seems that this place is getting closer and closer to the place where the Night Wandering God lives.

Zhao Dailei quickened her pace and walked forward, it seemed that it was impossible to persuade her to leave.

I picked up my pace and kept going.

"Big brother, Peach!"

Sun Mingjin swooped up the tree and picked a bright red longevity peach from above.

He subconsciously wanted to stuff it into his mouth, but I snatched it.

Sun Mingjin was a little embarrassed, "Big brother, you eat, you eat first."

My expression was solemn, "The time is not right, the earth does not grow nameless grass, this fruit should have appeared in summer and autumn, how could it be possible for peach blossoms and peaches to grow together."

I threw the peaches into the water, and the moment they entered the water, they instantly turned into a crimson liquid.

Sun Mingjin was startled and hurriedly clapped his hands, for fear of getting something.

In the forest directly ahead, there was a sudden sound of a murmuring sound.

"Who!?"

I held the exorcism ring in my hand, stepped forward, pulled open the bushes, and saw a thin woman in front of me, holding a peach with great difficulty, as if carrying a thousand pounds of boulders, staggering, step by step.

At this time, Zhao Dailei and Sun Mingjin also followed.

Under the light of the setting sun, the woman's body pulled up a long shadow on the ground.

Only then did I realize that women were not thin, but only had a thin human skin, so they would struggle to be like this when they held a peach.

In the entire peach grove, there are at least a hundred human skins like this, struggling to move on the ground.

Zhao Dailei's cheeks turned pale with fright, "Mr. Zhuge , these people are ...... What's going on?"

I scanned the woods, thin as a piece of paper, and the staggering woman gradually saw some doorways.

"Xiqimen's puppet technique, but the guy who controls the puppet behind his back is a little inferior."

"These puppets are soulless, and only a skin is left to be controlled."

"But don't be afraid, these puppets can only do simple things, and they can't hurt anyone."

In order not to startle the snake, I did not do anything to these skins, but followed the direction of the human skin puppets, step by step.

Zhao Dailei trembled with fright, her legs were as soft as noodles, even if she tried her best to control her fear, she still couldn't stop trembling when the human skin puppet shuttled around.

Sun Mingjin and I continued to walk forward while holding her arm.

Suddenly, a figure holding a peach flickered, and I grabbed it the moment it passed by.

Zhao Dailei was so frightened that she shuddered again, "Mr. Zhuge , you ...... What are you doing with such a disgusting thing?"

I looked at the struggling paper puppet in front of me with some distraction, and sighed, "Heaven is forgiving, but you can't live if you do it."

In addition to being frightened, Zhao Dailei also recognized it.

"Isn't this the girl who came to our house last night?"

At this time, Liu Yunyan was already scattered, and only a human skin with basic consciousness remained.

Forget it, dust to dust to dust.

I waved my hand gently, and under the burning of the seven evil bones, the human skin burned to the ground.

The trees in front of us were thinning, and the stream was getting more and more rapid, presumably reaching the edge of the exit.

The sun had gone down, the sky had turned from dark red to foggy blue, and the shadows of the forest had become completely dark.

Sun Mingjin held an iron rod of unknown material in his hand, and asked vigilantly, "Big brother, is it true that this night wandering spirit will become particularly powerful at night?"

"Yes, but you're not right."

I explained

"The alternation of day and night is after eight o'clock in the evening, and the alternation of midnight is after twelve o'clock in the morning."

"There are three phases of the Night Wanderer's strength. The first stage is the period of weakness of the day, the second is the period of recovery at 8 p.m., and the third is the heyday of the alternation of midnight."

"It's dark early in the early spring, and even if it's dark now, it's only about five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Within three hours, regardless of the outcome of the investigation, we have to leave."

Sun Mingjin nodded, "No problem, I listen to my eldest brother!"

Actually, I said this to Zhao Dailei.

Zhao Dailei is looking for her sister very much, I am afraid that she will not leave for a while, and there will be any more trouble.

Sure enough, Zhao Dailei's eyes flickered, and she was vaguely unwilling.

After being silent for a while, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Let Mr. Zhuge arrange it."

With her words, I continued to move forward.

On the branches in front of the trees, there are bright red lanterns, and the red light illuminates the ribbons and couplets on the trees.

The couplets are all festive, and the skins are busy holding red, green, and green colored paper, dressing up the nearby peach trees.

The peach trees on the left and right sides stretch out a road ahead.

Knock Knock Knock –

Click-

The sound of gongs, drums and huqin was particularly eerie in the silent night, and a bright bonfire was faintly visible in front of it, and overlapping figures were moving.

Sun Mingjin clutched his stick nervously, "Big brother, I'll walk in front, and you will walk behind."

"Okay."

I nodded, no politeness.

In terms of the combat ability of the sudden situation, I am not as good as Sun Mingjin, and it will be safer for him to walk in front.

After about a hundred and twenty paces, I could faintly see a wooden stage surrounded by several campfires.

On the stage, several puppets with human skin beat gongs and drums, and Shou Tao was placed on the small round table below, and countless puppets sat underneath, each of them sucking greedily.

As they sucked, their pale skin became a little ruddy, and their eyes and bodies became more agile.

Sun Mingjin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Big brother, what is this Shou Peach, why did this group of human skin monsters eat it, and they seem to look very energetic?"

I took off the lantern from the tree and looked around the peach tree, and I probably understood the mystery.

"Look at the texture of this trunk, is there any difference?"

Sun Mingjin scratched his head and didn't see anything.

Zhao Dailei stretched out her hand, carefully stroked the lines on the trunk, and murmured, "The branches of this peach tree are delicate and tender, not like tree bark, like human skin."

"That's right, the peach tree beckons yin, and if it is cultivated with blood, it can raise a ghost tree that bears the fruit of yin and evil."

As I spoke, I pulled out the dagger from my waist and cut open the trunk of the tree, and suddenly Bobo's blood flowed out, and I could faintly see the traces of blood vessels inside.
