55: Nether Tree
The spirit was a little tired, so she simply pulled Qi Tiezui's arm, half-hung on him, and let him drag him away.
Except for the slight stiffness of his body, the eighth master didn't have any big reaction.
Jiang He walked in the front, the water in the corridor was not deep, only to the knees, the water was very turbid, and it was completely impossible to see what was inside.
The eighth master was delicate, and in this empty road, his voice was gentle and calm, "The Jiang family's career is on the rise, and this kind of inverted fight will be better in the future, when we met for the first time, I gave you a hexagram, after the business is transferred, the Jiang family will be smooth." ”
Jiang He was very surprised, and he also listened to Qi Tiezui's reminder in his heart, and his tone became more and more respectful, "Eighth Master, thank you for reminding me." ”
Qi Tiezui bowed slightly.
It's rude to start a hexagram when you meet for the first time, but the eighth master is used to it, so that he can know whether the other party can cooperate with him.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can not be defeated in a hundred battles.
As everyone knows, after Jiang He went out, he became a wealthy family and quickly occupied a place, the Jiang family's career is in black and white, and the next three generations of the Jiang family still cooperate closely with Jiumen.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
The further you go, the shallower the water becomes, and the drains around it flush the water into the dark.
After about ten minutes, the road had reached the end of a cliff with a connection in the center, where a huge tree grew.
The light of the flashlight hit it, and the trees grew lush and green, and under the connected rocks were the huge roots of the trees, which stretched out into the cliffs.
"Where does a tree get its nutrients from to grow so big in this environment?" Xue Hou was surprised.
The bottomless underneath the cliff is simply a spectacle.
Ji Lanqian's body was fierce, her eyes stared at this giant tree, it was too big, it was bigger than anything she had ever seen, it would grow for at least hundreds of thousands of years, and the roots of the tree were densely extended under the cliff, as if it was alive.
"When it rains outside, there should be drainage channels to supply it with moisture." Qi Tiezui analyzed.
Jiang He rummaged through his backpack and threw a flare down, and everyone saw that the bottom of the cliff was not too high, maybe a hundred meters, and the huge tree roots spread all the way to the bottom.
"Can you live with water?" Ji Lanqian asked.
Because of her yin-tricking physique, it tells her that it's not that simple.
"Not necessarily, maybe it's already rooted in the ground beneath the cliff for nourishment." Eighth Master.
This is reasonable for the time being.
At this time.
Below the cliffs.
The light suddenly brightened as day, so that the people who had just come out of the road couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their eyes.
"What's the situation? There are people on the cliff who are exploring the way, who is there, even this kind of military flare, what a trench. The black blind man said and kicked Xu Weng, who was walking in front.
Xu Weng's arm was connected, and the rope was no longer tied, he didn't dare to be a demon anymore, "Master Hei, if you kick me again, I'll die." ”
"Death is death, hundreds of millions of people around the world, and you are not one missing."
It's a cold human talk.
The light of the flares was so weak that they could barely open their eyes, and in front of them was something like the roots of a tree, tangled deep into a large pit.
The black blind man raised his foot to check, the big pit was full of white bones, the roots of the tree were inserted into the skull to draw nutrients, he looked up along the roots, what kind of giant tree should it be?
I didn't dare to think about it at all.
Zhang Qiling pulled out the Tang knife and looked at the scene in front of him vigilantly.
It's a dead man's pit.
The flares are completely extinguished.
Xu Weng trembled and spoke, "I said a long time ago that I took the wrong path. ”
After Xu Weng entered the main burial chamber of the National Teacher's Tomb to worship, he would return the same way.
It was the first time he had seen this road today, and this tomb could even go deeper.
"What kind of tree is this, can grow so wildly?" The black blind man squatted on the edge of the pit and held a flashlight to check.
"The Nether Tree, the giant tree of hell that grows in legend, the souls who have died of evil will be fed to it as nourishment, and the tree here should be reproduced in later generations." Xu Weng pushed his glasses, and unconsciously wanted to retreat, the yin qi here was too heavy.
Maybe it was the massacre of the city that happened in Ye back then, so many bones could be piled up in the pit.
The black blind man got up and covered his mouth with his hands, and shouted at it, "Hey, is the lama leaving?" ”
Echoes echo between the cliffs.
The team above that had already walked under the tree stopped.
Ji Lanqian accurately received the signal, "It's Hei Ye." ”
"Walk under the tree and talk back." Qi Tiezui said, asking them to hurry over, after all, he already sensed that something was wrong.
Ji Lanqian nodded, and the flashlight shone down twice, which was a signal to the black blind man, and as soon as he turned around, he faced a grimace hanging upside down.
The grimace was distorted and evil, with a grin at the corners of its mouth and a mouthful of sharp teeth.
It's over, and the demon is awakened.
Qi Tiezui threw away a talisman and ran away with Ji Lanqian.
He also shouted, "The ghost tree raises evil spirits, hey, I'll go, the legends are true!" ”
Ji Lanqian was pulled by an evil ghost, and the whole person was pulled up by the three evil ghosts in an instant.
Qi Tiezui held her hand tightly, and said with a panicked expression, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I caught you." ”
They had just experienced a vicious battle, and they had encountered evil spirits again, and they were somewhat powerless.
She kicked hard at the back of her feet, and the demons were like a mess of mud that could not be shaken in the slightest.
She frowned and scolded, "What kind of disgusting thing is this." ”
Jiang He held a Nepalese saber in his hand, and when he went up, he slashed it, but the blade had no effect on the demon.
Qi Tiezui said to him, "You hold Ji Lanqian and let me come." ”
"Okay."
Jiang He and Xue Hou grabbed Ji Lanqian's wrist.
Qi Tiezui's index finger and middle finger were put together between his eyebrows, and he chanted a complicated incantation in his mouth, and then waved out a handful of cinnabar, and those evil ghosts let go of Ji Lanqian as if they had been burned.
Then, the eighth master threw a small peach wood sword he was carrying to Daqing on the side, "Use this to open the way, first pass under the tree." ”
"Okay."
Daqing is tall, the best one among them, and the little peachwood sword he catches is like a child's toy, but fortunately, it is turned on, and it is just right to kill ghosts.
Bottom.
The black blind man obviously saw the signal of the response, but it seemed that there was suddenly a bit of excitement on it, and he didn't have time to think about it.
Xu Weng pointed to the white bones in the big pit in horror, "They moved, moved!" ”
The black blind man lowered his eyes and looked down, kicked down the white bones that climbed up, and said in a steady tone, "There is no road here, climb up these tree roots." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Qiling's figure leap and grab the root of the tree, swing up, and climb fast.
Hei Ye was amazed, this dumb Zhang, his skills are amazing?
