Xu Dong was still worried about Su Qing, and he was ready to sneak into the Pure Yang Palace to investigate secretly.

He didn't dare to enter the Chunyang Palace through the main gate, and wanted to take advantage of the dark time to enter the palace through the secret passage from Taihouguan.

Finally, when it got dark, he walked into the long-abandoned Taoist temple, and walked among the weeds that grew as tall as a man by the light of the moonlight.

Suddenly, he saw a man hanging from the branches of a wild tree that was growing on his own, as if he was swaying gently.

He sighed in his heart, it's not good, someone is hanging himself!

In such a lonely place, the man chose this place to hang himself, and no one would come to the rescue, which shows that the person sincerely begged for death.

After all, human life is at stake, since I have been met by Xu Dong, I can't turn a blind eye, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I still have this bit of compassion.

But he still hesitated, because he had heard about the haunting of Taihouguan before, and the reason why this thousand-year-old temple close to the palace of Radha was abandoned was because the temple was once haunted.

It is said that when the incense is in full bloom, there are more than 300 Taoists registered in the temple, and there are 5 or 600 believers who enter the temple every day to worship incense.

Late one night a few years ago, people living around the temple heard a ghost scream, "Woo woo woo!"

There were many people's cries for help in the ghost screams, and the sound was from the Taihou Temple, but the people who heard it were so frightened that they clutched the quilt, and no one dared to go out to check.

The next day, there were unaware believers who entered the temple to worship incense, and when they walked into the Taoist courtyard, there was a big incident inside, the statue of the Sanqing Venerable in the main hall fell to the ground, and the Taoist who served the incense had a big hole in his neck, and he had already died.

The criminal division yamen in the palace came to investigate and found that the three hundred Taoist disciples together with the Taoist chief and the host had died violently, and none of them survived, and the case became a headless unsolved case.

Because the Taoist disciples in this courtyard died strangely, there was a big hole in the neck, and there was not a lot of blood, and many people heard the ghost scream in the middle of the night, and it was suspected that the Taoist temple was unclean and caused the death of more than 300 people.

Emperor Zhao Lun sent the National Teacher's Mansion to watch and catch ghosts, and the National Teacher's Mansion made a fuss here for many days before withdrawing, and he didn't say a word, and finally it was over.

This thousand-year-old Taoist temple was abandoned, and even the surrounding residents moved away, and the Taoist temple gradually collapsed, and finally this scene.

Xu Dong didn't believe that there were ghosts, he deliberately checked the body scripture part of the "Lotus Cave Immortal Record", which said clearly, "Ghosts, nothingness, is people's imagination." ”

He believes that people are not clear and their minds are muddy, which causes ghosts to appear in their consciousness and then become an illusory existence.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and strode forward to save the man.

When Xu Dong approached, he saw that the hanger was a woman, with long hair draped around her waist and bangs covering her face on her forehead, and he quickly untied the person from the tree.

"Woohoo!"

The woman hugged his shoulder, and the sharp teeth bit at his neck, which frightened Xu Dong, and he saw in an instant that the woman had no chin, and blood was dripping from the two protruding fangs.

Could it be that this woman is really a ghost? Xu Dong was stunned in his heart, and quickly pulled out his dazzling sword and stabbed at the woman's face, but he didn't expect to stab in the air.

"Woohoo!"

Somehow, the woman circled behind him and bit him on the back of the neck with a bloody mouth.

Xu Dong said in his heart, this time he really hit a ghost, if he is a martial arts master, the peerless martial arts he has can work, but this ghost thing can't be grasped, I don't know how to crack it.

"Yin and Yang Fire!"

An idea popped into his mind, to use yin and yang fire to kill this ghost thing, yin and yang fire can destroy everything in an instant, and he believes that even this ghost thing is no exception.

As long as Xu Dong thought of it, he immediately launched the Yin and Yang Fire, and a beam of electric light wrapped around the dazzling sword like a spiritual snake, evoking the mana of the dazzling sword itself, turning into thousands of rays and stabbing towards the ghost.

"Whew!"

The ghost thing could no longer resist this high pressure, and fell to the ground like a wall, and Xu Dong saw a puff of white smoke rising from the woman's body, and then drifting into the air.

He looked at the woman again, and there was still a human figure, which was clearly a piece of rotten wood that had become a piece of rotten wood, and he checked it with his divine sense, and there were countless white maggots arching on that piece of rotten wood.

Only then did Xu Dong suddenly understand that he had met the Dryad.

The body scripture part of "Lotus Cave Immortal Records" says, "The tree demon, also known as the tree spirit, is a thousand-year-old rotten wood soul immortal, turning into a human form and absorbing the blood of living beings to cultivate and evolve. ”

He had an understanding of the tragedy that happened in Taihouguan a few years ago, and it must have been a tree demon group that attacked Taihouguan, causing a courtyard of Taoists to be sucked dry of blood and died.

Xu Dong poured a soak of urine on the rotten wood, spat hatefully, and then lifted his robe and continued on his way.

It was easy for him to find the ruined shadow wall, and under the shadow wall, there was a Hessesen cave, and inside the hole was the secret passage.

Xu Dong walked along the passage, and within half an hour, he arrived at the rockery in the back garden of the Luotuo Palace, and after he got out, he sealed the slate as it was, and then walked out of the rockery cave.

At this time, it was already the middle of the night, and almost everyone in the Chunyang Palace, except for the people who patrolled the night and beat the bangzi, fell asleep, and even some summer insects restrained their screams, and the entire palace was as silent as death.

Xu Dong tried to open the sea of knowledge, but there was still the interference of Dao and Dharma barriers, which caused the sea of knowledge to be ineffective.

He had to search palace by palace, and he searched extremely carefully those places where Su Qing might be detained or placed under house arrest, even in the corners and corners.

Finally, he found Su Qing in a large hall with a plaque that read "Wusheng".

This temple is relatively low, the inside is unusually damp, the ground is actually covered with moss, there is a pool in the center of the main hall, the water is turquoise, at a glance you know that the water is mixed with some kind of medicinal liquid.

Su Qingguang soaked naked in the water, the pool flooded her **, her long green black hair was coiled into a bun, and her face was insensitive to a look of indifference.

Xu Dong felt a heart-wrenching pain, these days have not been seen, Su Qing doesn't know what has happened, like a different person, becoming a person who even Xu Dong feels strange.

He remembered the scene of chasing Su Qing in the pool of the Lotus Cave, the words Su Qing had said when she offered her chastity to him, and the story she told about groping for spars on the ground to resist loneliness.

"I thought at night that I couldn't sleep, so I turned off the light and poured the dustpan beads on the ground, and then put them into the dustpan one by one, even if I didn't touch one bead, I didn't dare to sleep......"

"When did you grow the ability to get me out of this cold palace and let me never come back, I just gave you Xu Dong a lifetime to call a girl, and I was willing to ......"

These words were still echoing in Xu Dong's ears, and he was always alerting Xu Dong, "You have to step up your cultivation and grow more skills, otherwise those women who love you will leave you!"

Su Qing, what's wrong with you? Who got you here?

Xu Dong didn't have time to think deeply, and he didn't know if there was any danger, so he broke through the window and jumped into the pool to pull Su Qing up.

"Su Qing, let's go, get out of here with me!"

Su Qing was grabbed by Xu Dong violently, suddenly woke up from her numbness, she looked at Xu Dong with both eyes, and when she recognized that the man in front of her was Xu Dong, she fell on Xu Dong's shoulder and cried.

"Xu Dong, I'm going to die, I thought I wouldn't see you! ”

"What's wrong with you, who's going to hurt you?" Xu Dong hugged her tightly, and he felt her tremble all over.

"Zhao Lun forced me to take erysipelas, I can't live!"
