Chapter 554: The Cursed Tree

The dispelled mist began to gather back.

At this time, Ye Wuji is like a sapling under lightning and thunder, although he is motionless, he may still face extinction.

Cold sweat flowed down his cheeks, and his heart had reached an unprecedented level of tension.

Judging from the strength that the young man on the other side has just shown, it is not easy to destroy these people.

He regretted it a little now, blaming himself for not being whimsical, he thought it would kill two birds with one stone, but he didn't expect that he would end up in such a dangerous situation.

"Da~Da~"

Just when Ye Wuji was panicking, Dongfang Xiuzhe walked towards him.

Ye Wuji's body trembled obviously, but he didn't dare to move, his palms were like holding a handful of water.

"Will you tell me what you've seen here?"

After a short silence, Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly asked.

Ye Wuji was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I ...... We didn't see anything!"

After saying that, he hurriedly glanced at the others.

"We didn't see anything!"

Everyone hurriedly agreed.

Everyone knew that the thought of the young man in front of him would determine the life and death of everyone present.

"There is a saying that only the dead will keep secrets!"

Raising his head and looking at the surrounding mountains and rocks that were gradually shrouded in mist, Dongfang Xiuzhe muttered to himself.

It didn't matter what he said, but he shocked Ye Wuji and his party, and subconsciously pressed their hands on the weapon.

The air seems to have become more oppressive.

"But I don't agree with this sentence!" Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly said again.

The best proof is that in front of him, the Yin and Yang Five Elements Master, even in the face of the dead, he can dig out the secret.

"Yunzhi, let's go!"

Ignoring these stiff people, Dongfang Xiuzhe turned around and left.

Until the figures of the two disappeared into the thick fog. All those who are frozen dare to take a breath.

All of them looked like they had been fished out of the water, and their clothes were all wet with cold sweat.

In just a few minutes, everyone felt like they had walked through the ghost gate.

Ye Wuji gasped for breath and glanced at the ashes on the ground, which had long been invisible, and he still had palpitations.

"Childe, it doesn't matter to you!" the man in white stepped forward to help.

"Deacon Ye, what do you mean by that young man, he just left?" Ye Wuji couldn't guess what the young man was thinking.

"Childe. We must go back and report this quickly!"

The sun was shining high, and the sunlight was shining on the houses below, making this small town, which was not very large, seem even more lively.

The name of the town is "Dry Pine Town", and it is said that the origin of this name is that in the middle of the town, there is a huge pine tree, but it does not know when it withered, and it is like a statue that does not change in the slightest from year to year.

Dongfang Xiuzhe and Yunzhi walked on the streets of "Dry Pine Town". Walk in the direction of an inn.

Before going to find the "Judgment Twin Elders", Dongfang Xiuzhe left Lier and the others in the inn, and now it is time to go to the convergence.

Lier, Wushuang and others, who were dining, saw Dongfang Xiuzhe and Yunzhi returning safely. They all stood up.

"Little master, you can be regarded as back, I am about to suffocate to death!"

The red shadow flashed, and the Phoenix King Eagle had already come to Dongfang Xiuzhe's shoulder and stopped. Began to complain about the boredom of being left here.

After the meal, Dongfang Xiuzhe decided to stay here for one more day because he was still waiting for the "Judgment Twin Elders" to go here to meet him.

The "Sentenced Twin Elders" has been completely subdued by him. With these two people, even if he is not at home in the future, he will not have to worry about his family's headache and brain fever.

Dongfang Xiuzhe has decided to leave the "Sentenced Twin Elders" in the Nanwang Mansion, which is even more powerful than the imperial doctor in the palace, and it is not possible that the emperor will deign to go to the Nanwang Mansion in the future.

Of course, Dongfang Xiuzhe also had another intention to take the "Sentence of Birth and Twin Elders", although he successfully obtained the "Menstrual Pulse Breaking Ointment", but he did not know how to use this medicine, if it was safer to cure his father.

Since this "Broken Menstrual Pulse Cream" is refined by the "Judgment of the Twin Elders", no one knows better about the medicinal properties than these two.

Night was falling.

Dongfang Xiuzhe took Yunzhi and his party to walk on the brightly lit streets, appreciating the customs here.

Although it was night, the whole "Dry Pine Town" was even more lively.

The liveliest place is in the middle of town, where the famous "night scene" gathers, and the more people gather there in the evening.

Since you want to appreciate the customs here, it is natural to go to the "night scene" to have a look.

When it came to the "Night Scene", it really did not disappoint Dongfang Xiuzhe.

It was crowded with people, and under the huge dead pines, a huge bonfire burned three feet high, illuminating the open area as if it were day.

Some cheerful young men and girls sang and danced around the bonfire, so lively.

And these are not what attract Dongfang Xiuzhe, what really makes him care is that there are stalls selling all kinds of goods around, and the things sold are dazzling.

Taobao is not a woman's patent, Dongfang Xiuzhe likes to buy buried treasures at the least price.

Most of the things sold here are related to medicinal herbs or alchemy materials, so it's no wonder that people often hear that the "Zhisheng Empire" is the gathering place of pills for the entire Half-War Continent.

Although there is no god-level appraiser like Merandor by his side, don't forget, by Dongfang Xiuzhe's side, there is a newly accepted Shiling Fengdeng, who was a great alchemist during his lifetime, and even the incomparably precious "Menstrual Interrupted Pulse Cream" is nothing in his eyes.

"Little master, this is 'Black Mengzi', although it looks very similar to 'Black Tiger Root', but the value of the two is absolutely very different, 'Black Mengzi' has a yin taste, a hundred years and a flower, it is the main material for refining special antidote pills, I didn't expect this stall owner to regard it as 'Black Tiger Root', it's really ignorant!"

"Little master, this unknown dead branch is actually a rare insect that has been transformed after death, although the value is not as good as the 'Black Mengzi' just bought, but it can be regarded as rare. ”

"Little Lord, come and see, this is 'Green Leaf Lotus Grass', which is the best medicine to induce ......"

With the help of Fengdeng, Dongfang Xiuzhe went on a shopping spree and bought a lot of good things.

After almost all the stalls were visited, Dongfang Xiuzhe decided to find a place to rest.

said that he was resting, but in fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about alchemy from Feng Deng.

"Good location over there, let's get there and take a break!"

Dongfang Xiuzhe stretched out his hand and pointed to the dead pine roots next to the bonfire and said.

Huge dead pines, many thick roots, all burrowed out of the ground, like giant recklessness that was intertwined.

The place where the tree roots are brightly lit, not only can you enjoy the bonfire singing and dancing, but also do not have to squeeze around with others.

I don't know why, there is no one else in such a good place to watch!

"Look, what are those guys going to do?"

"They're from out of town, don't they know the rules here?"

"No, they're going to approach the 'Tree of the Damned'. ”

"They're going to be unlucky, let's go quickly, lest we be harmed!"

"Something is going to happen, something is really going to happen, they are sitting on the 'Tree of Damned'......"

During the time when Dongfang Xiuzhe and the others walked towards the dead pine and sat on the root of the tree, a noisy discussion sounded around them.

Immediately after, everyone's eyes were projected in unison.

The bonfire song and dance, which was still going on, stopped unconsciously, and a strange atmosphere appeared in the lively "night scene".

"Yunzhi, what happened, why are these people all looking at us?"

Dongfang Xiuzhe asked Yunzhi beside him.

Of the few people around, only Yunzhi has ever been here.

At this time, Yunzhi frowned slightly, she didn't know what was going on, but she vaguely heard many people mention the word "Cursed Tree".

And this word was the first time she had heard it!

"Sect Master Qi, I don't know what's going on, I've been here before, but it's not like this!"

Just when Yunzhi was strange, the crowd around him that was originally crowded dispersed like a tide, and in just a moment's time, the entire "night scene" became deserted.

At this moment, even Dongfang Xiuzhe couldn't help frowning.

"The Tree of the Damned, does it have something to do with this dead tree next to you?"

Dongfang Xiuzhe naturally heard the discussion of the people around him, and at this moment, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at this withered pine that was like a giant umbrella that covered several streets.

I have to say that this withered pine is indeed huge, but it has not yet reached the point where Dongfang Xiuzhe is curious, he really just came to rest at first, but it was the abnormal behavior of the people around him that made him curious about this withered pine that had withered for an unknown number of years.

The huge dead branches, stretching in all directions, were like a huge skeletal hand, without a single leaf, and there was no trace of life in sight.

"Sect Master, as far as I know, this tree has been stored for nearly a thousand years, and I have been here before, but I have never heard anyone talk about the 'Cursed Tree', but there are several legends about its withering......"

Seeing that the little sect master was looking at the withered pine tree, Yun Zhi hurriedly said what he knew.

"According to what you said, a few years ago, since the villagers were allowed to offer incense and pray for blessings, why did we just come here to take a rest and make such a big fuss?"

"I don't know about this......"

Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't ask Yunzhi again, but stood up and walked around the trunk of the dead pine, under the scanning of the yin and yang eyes, he didn't find anything strange about this dead tree.

Just as Dongfang Xiuzhe was about to give up on pursuing the matter, a large number of soldiers suddenly poured out from the streets.

"The soldiers obey the order and take these people down!" (To be continued......
