() After some time, when Sumai finally woke up, he found himself in a hut.

The four walls of the house are empty, a lamp is like a bean, outside the small window, the sky is faint, and it looks like it is dawn.

"Boy, count your fate, dare to be greedy for this wine, do you know that you have just walked on Huangquan Road!" the old man's voice came from outside the house.

"Ah......h

Su Mai was startled when he heard this, he jumped up from the bamboo bed, shook his head, looked up and down, and found that there was not much abnormality, and the place where he was bitten by the dry corpse had also been bandaged, except for the slightest faint pain, everything was normal.

But listening to the old man's tone, it seems that he saved himself once?

When he got up, he walked out of the house, only to see that there was a small hall outside, except for a small table and a few bamboo stools, there was nothing else, and it did not look like a permanent place for people to live.

The old man was sitting on the side of the bamboo table, drinking wine by the dim candle flame, when he saw Su stepping out, he pointed to the side casually, and said, "Come here!"

"Haven't consulted the senior daimyo?" Su Mai approached and said respectfully.

"Daimyo!" the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then said leisurely: "I don't remember it for a long time, the genus of the East, the essence of plants and trees, a prosperous life, and finally return to the mountains and forests, people are old, they can't remember things, in this red dust, people come and go, it is the most prosperous, and the most lonely, after a long time, a person is easily forgotten!"

Su Mai listened to it and was confused, no matter how long it was, it was impossible for a person not to even remember his name, right?

While he was wondering, the old man suddenly stood up again and sang loudly:

Don't ask where the fairy land is,

And drink a thousand cups and don't go to church.

No one asks in the drunken deserted village,

Ten thousand people are like a sea and hidden.

After singing, he said to Su Mai: "The old man makes a living from wine, so you can call me Qu Taoist!"

When Su Mai heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Senior Su Mai, I have seen Senior Qu!"

"Excuse me!"

Daoist Qu waved his hand, then walked to the side of the bamboo gate, looked at the mountains in the distance, the light of the sky, and said leisurely: "You kid is very slippery, you know how to be greedy and misguided!"

When Su Mai heard this, he was a little embarrassed, hurriedly walked over, and said: "I saw that the wine of my predecessors was very mellow, and when I smelled it, I felt that the wine worms were on my brain, and I accidentally drank too much!"

"Drink too much?"

Daoist Qu turned his head, frowned, and said, "Do you know that your big bite is enough to get drunk to death a brute bull." ”

"Ah......?"

When Su Mai heard this, he was startled, if he could get drunk to death a brute cow in such a mouthful, then he had really died once before.

"Do you know why this wine is called life and death?" asked Daoist Qu.

"Please also ask the seniors to advise!" Su Mai said in a respectful voice.

"This wine is created by the old man, there are nine kinds of good spiritual materials, there are also nine kinds of strong poisons, because the wine is too strong, so it is hidden in the extremely yin place, robbing it of its murderous aura, making it rigid and drunk, but even if it has been put in this ** Tai for ten years, it is not an ordinary wine. ”

Daoist Qu casually took off the wine jug on his waist, paused, and said:

"Drinking this wine must be divided into hours, alternating between morning and dusk, yin and yang, its taste is different, and the toxicity is also self-sufficient!"

"And such a strange thing!" Su Mai was amazed when he heard this, he used to drink wine, but he only knew that different wines tasted different, but he had never heard of the same wine, and it would have a different taste at different times.

"This wine is drunk at sunrise, mellow and soft, with a warm feeling, its taste is the most positive, and when drunk at noon, it is rough and strong, and if it is entered at dusk, the wine tastes light, but the toxicity is the strongest, compared to the poison in the world, it is not much better

Ah!" Daoist Qu glanced at Su Mai meaningfully and said lightly.

"No wonder the name of the dynasty is dying in the twilight!" Su Mai heard this, and shouted luck in his heart, sure enough, he didn't listen to the old man, and he suffered a loss in front of him, he was smart, but he almost lost his life.

"Originally, I let you take a sip for the corpse poison on your body, but your kid has a lot of eyes, but it made the old man work hard!"

Su Mai was stunned when he heard this, but then he took a big sip, grunted, laughed, and said loudly: "Such a good wine, why get drunk to death!"

"Hehe, it's interesting!" Seeing this, Daoist Qu said with a smile.

Su Mai knew that this wine was extremely rare, but he didn't dare to drink more, licked his lips, and asked Daoist Qu carefully: "Senior, my corpse poison is still there?"

"That's poison, it's no big deal!" said Daoist Qu back, and then sighed again.

"Senior, why are you sighing, isn't the poison still gone?" Su Mai saw this and hurriedly asked.

"That's not it, your poison, eight out of ten, the rest is slowly digested, but it doesn't hurt. Seeing that he was quite worried, Daoist Qu said.

"The old man sighed, it's those yin corpses!" Qu Daoist turned around, sat down at the small table, took another sip, and said slowly.

"Yin corpse?" Su Mai followed, shocked when he heard this, and then asked:

"Could it be those hanging corpses?"

"Your injury is the work of that Yin corpse!" Daoist Qu nodded and said casually.

"What the hell is this yin corpse, it doesn't look like a dead corpse, but it is not ossified, and it seems that there is still a trace of intelligence. Su Mai was surprised.

"This is the sin created by the three mulberry ghost trees!" Qu Daoist sighed, and the situation was quite compassionate.

Su Mai saw it in his eyes, and he was also a little moved, although he was injured by the yin corpse, but he thought that they had been suspended in this fog for a long time, and their souls had no one to rely on, he was also a little pitiful.

"What is the Sansang Ghost Tree?" The word Ghost Tree, Gu Kuang and Wufu had vaguely heard it in the fog before, but they didn't know that its name was the Sansang Ghost Tree.

"Everything has cause and effect, and the ghost tree is raging, just because the world is greedy for words!" Qu Taoist tapped his fingers on the table, sighed, and then said: "These three mulberry ghost trees were born in this fog, where thousands of years, the world's grass and trees, long practice into refinement, I don't know when it began, gradually gave birth to a wooden heart, and then had some spiritual wisdom. ”

"Mu Xin?" Su Mai was surprised, he had only heard that people, beasts and birds had hearts, how could this grass and trees have a heart if they were dead things?

"Yes, these three mulberry ghost trees are cultivated into a wooden heart, and they have the foundation of cultivation, and the mana is refined, this **Taili is his roots, as long as he enters it, he will be under its control, but it is a pity that the stupid monk does not know what to do, but he wants to steal the wooden heart. ”

"This ghost tree grows in the mist, how does the world know that it has a wood heart?" Su Mai said puzzled.

"On this Shenzhou realm, there are many masters, after all, this Mu Xin is a rare thing, over time, there will always be people who know, you see those Yin corpses, most of them are people who come to hunt for treasures. Daoist Qu continued.

"Even if you came to hunt for treasure, then why were you entangled in roots and suspended in mid-air?" asked Su Mai again.

"The world is blinded, and most of them don't know that this ** Tai is a place of absolute spirits, even if they know, the temptation of the treasure is much more dangerous than the danger, and the final result, you have also seen it!"

"This place of absolute spirits is really terrifying, that is, the monk enters it, there is no supernatural power to protect the body, compared to ordinary people, this ghost tree is so terrifying, if you want to take its heart, I am afraid that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. ”

"That's nature,

If Mu Xin is so easy to take away, this ghost tree will still be alive for thousands of years!" Qu Daoist said with some disdain, that tone, he seemed to be quite familiar with the heart of this ghost tree.

"By the way, senior, what is the use of this wooden heart, why are so many people willing to risk their lives to obtain this thing?"

"This thing, it can live the dead!" Qu Daogan said.

"The living dead, how to live?" asked Su Mai curiously.

"It's just a rumor, and the world has a lot of rumors about its miraculous effects, and no one has seen the truth, so naturally it is not very clear. Daoist Qu shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"That's right," Su Mai saw this, and said: "Hearsay abounds in this world, and most of the ghosts and trees are also rumors. ”

"By the way, senior, what is the matter with this Yin corpse?" Su Mai suddenly remembered the matter of the Yin corpse, and asked hurriedly.

"That Yin corpse is the symbiosis of this ghost tree!" Daoist Qu raised his head slightly, exhaled, and said slowly.

"Symbiotics?"

Su Mai was surprised, wasn't this yin corpse trapped on the ghost tree, how could it coexist?

"Most of these yin corpses were greedy for that wood heart before their deaths, and they took risks, and finally lost their lives, no matter how much they cultivated, the Sansang ghost tree was only the essence of plants and trees, only after absorbing the blood of these monks, could they cultivate spiritual wisdom, and finally cultivate into a demon body. ”

"That's just the benefit of this ghost tree, what is the benefit of these yin corpses trapped here?" Su Mai was a little puzzled, didn't this symbiosis benefit each other?

"Look at that yin corpse, what's wrong?" asked Daoist Qu.

"These Yin Corpses don't look very special on the surface, but when they besiege me, they feel like they have a trace of intelligence, and their hands and feet are not as stiff as zombies, they can still bend, could it be that they are not finished?" Su Mai thought about it, full of doubts.

"Considered a half-dead person, the body is dead, and the soul is not extinguished!" said Daoist Qu.

"Since the physical body is dead, what is the use of this immortal soul?" Su Mai became more and more confused the more he listened, the physical body was no longer there, where was the soul depending?

"These three mulberry ghost trees nourish themselves with the blood of monks, and these yin corpses rely on the innate yin qi of the ghost tree to nourish their souls, if he has a chance in the future, he can also cultivate into a soul body, which is equivalent to rebirth!" Seeing Su Mai's dazed face, Daoist Qu explained again.

"What is this soul body?" Su Maiqi said, what this Taoist priest said today was too weird, and he had never heard of it in the past.

"This soul body is also a kind of demon, your kid's cultivation is too low, and you don't understand it if you talk too much!" Qu Daoist waved his hand, but he drank wine again.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Su Mai also gave up, and then remembered something, so he asked again:

"By the way, senior, why are you in **Tai?"

"Just for it!" Daoist Qu shook the wine jug in his hand, and then said: "This wine of life and death is stored under the ghost tree, but unfortunately, the time is too short, and the taste is worse in the end, if it is not for alcohol addiction, it will not be taken out!"

"I see!" Su Mai smiled, it seemed that he was really fateful.

"Senior, have you ever seen my two friends in the fog before?" Su Mai asked when he thought of Gu Kuang and the two of them.

"The shade of this ghost tree envelops the entire **Tai, if someone goes in, it will be like a mud cow entering the sea, it is really difficult to see people!"

"Then have you ever seen a skeleton?" Su Mai asked, thought for a moment, and then said, "A skeleton that walks like a fly!"

"I've never seen it!" said Daoist Qu casually, as if the walking skeleton was not strange at all.

When Su Mai heard this, his heart suddenly became cold, this Gu Kuang and the useless two people didn't know where they were now, but they hoped to be saved by the skeleton.
