In the mountains behind Lanruo Temple. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The banyan tree that was lit by Li Xiuyuan in the morning had not been extinguished at the moment, but the big tree that was parasitized by the tree demon collapsed with a bang.

But I saw that the trunk of the collapsed banyan tree was empty, and there was no heart, as if it had been eaten by insects.

And in the depths of the underground of this big tree, the roots of the trees here are criss-crossed, densely packed, and a huge hole has been formed in the ground, and there are houses and palaces that have changed from mana in the hole, and the appearance is more magnificent and prosperous than the world.

Originally, every day and night, ghosts and monsters gathered here, and it was quite lively.

But today it was cold in this underground palace.

In a building, a middle-aged man who looked like a man and a woman sat on the ground panting all the time, and his face was full of deep wrinkles, with wooden lines, not like a human face, but like a humanoid wood carving, which made people shudder to see.

"A good Yan Chixia, a good Li Xiuyuan, the two of them really don't leave me a little way to live, they have to kill them all, that old monk is also good enough, and after death, he will take the golden body to suppress me, you must know that when I grew up here, there was no Lanruo Temple, and the old monk didn't help me, but he also wanted to destroy me. ”

The voice of the tree demon grandmother was hoarse, with a look of resentment in her eyes, but she couldn't help revealing a little weakness when she spoke.

A few little ghosts serving next to him trembled and were silent, for fear that if something was wrong, they would be targeted by the tree demon grandmother and then killed.

"Xiaoqian, get over here. Suddenly, the tree demon grandma stretched out her hand and grabbed it, and countless tree roots flew out and tied up Nie Xiaoqian not far away, and threw it in front of her.

"Xiao Qian, yesterday I asked you to deal with that swordsman, why did you seduce that stupid scholar, I fell into that Li Xiuyuan's trap and lost a hundred years of Taoism, otherwise how could I not be able to fight a mere Yan Chixia. ”

Nie Xiaoqian fell to the ground in pain, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Grandma, I know that I am wrong, I just think that scholar is easier to deal with, that Xiahou swordsman has already taken precautions against me, if I try to seduce him again, I will definitely be killed by him with a sword, the sword in his hand Grandma, you also saw it, I don't know how many maids, maids died under that sword." ”

"There is nothing to achieve and more to lose, and you can't even find such an obvious trap, I think you are deliberately trying to destroy me with that Li Xiuyuan's hand, so good to return you to freedom, isn't it?" The roots of the tree demon grandma strangled Nie Xiaoqian's neck, and said with a violent voice.

Nie Xiaoqian's face was pale and she hurriedly said: "Xiaoqian definitely doesn't have such an idea, grandma, you misunderstood me." ”

"It's not the best, but don't think that I was injured this time and you think that I have no way to take them, Yan Chixia and Xiahou Wu I don't care about these two people, only that Li Xiuyuan is a trouble. The tree demon grandma snorted heavily and threw Nie Xiaoqian away.

It really wanted to kill this Nie Xiaoqian who injured herself, but now it has no available subordinates in its hands, a female ghost.

Nie Xiaoqian has always been a very powerful subordinate, and if he kills him, it will undoubtedly weaken his own strength.

"Thank you grandma for not killing, Xiaoqian will definitely make up for it, and she will definitely not make a second mistake. Nie Xiaoqian fell to the ground again, she didn't care about the pain and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The tree demon grandma's anger was slightly restrained, and she suddenly turned into a smiling face, and said with a kind look: "Xiaoqian, now grandma has only you by her side, you are so well-behaved and clever, grandma is in trouble now, you will definitely help grandma, right?"

"Please also ask grandma to command. Nie Xiaoqian trembled, feeling cold all over her body.

I'm afraid it's something bad again.

"Since Li Xiuyuan and Yan Chixia are determined to kill me this time, I won't let them have a good time, it's just a death, so I fought with them, I need you to seduce that Li Xiuyuan tonight." Grandma Dryad said.

Nie Xiaoqian was shocked: "Grandma, grandma, how dare Xiaoqian seduce him, you have also seen his powerful grandma, Xiaoqian can't even get close to him, once he gets close, it is like throwing it into a frying pan, the pain is incomparable, if it wasn't for that scholar to help me last night, I would have been distracted by now." ”

The tree demon grandmother said, "I didn't let you seduce him, you just need to attract Li Xiuyuan to the back mountain, and I naturally have a way to deal with him." ”

"I don't know what grandma can do to deal with him. Nie Xiaoqian asked.

"You ask so much what to do, you do it, you do it, you don't need to ask anything else. Dryad grandma shouted.

Xiao Qian didn't dare, but Xiao Qian wanted to know Grandma's arrangement, so as not to spoil Grandma's affairs. Nie Xiaoqian said.

Grandma Tree Demon said: "Grandma loves to listen to this, Grandma doesn't hide it from you, this Li Xiuyuan's identity is not ordinary, there are many demons and monsters who are interested in him, there is a monster called the old demon of Montenegro who has an enmity with this Li Xiuyuan, I can't wait to pick his skin and eat his flesh, if I join forces with him, as long as it is properly arranged, it is not difficult to kill him, he is special, but in the end he is just a mortal, and it is easy to die accidentally if he is a mortal." ”

At this, a gloomy sneer appeared on its face.

"Xiaoqian, you must lead him to the back mountain tonight, otherwise you know the consequences. The tree demon grandmother suddenly reached out and grabbed it, pinched Nie Xiaoqian's neck and said viciously.

After that, without waiting for Nie Xiaoqian to answer, she turned into countless tree roots and fled from the ground, obviously going to find the old demon of the Black Mountain for help.

"I can't continue to be at the mercy of my grandmother, otherwise I will be killed by it sooner or later, that Li Gongzi came here to cut off his grandmother, if I help my grandmother hurt him, I will only be controlled by my grandmother for the rest of my life, there is no way to get out, only by helping Li Gongzi destroy the tree demon grandma can I be truly free, and this is also my last chance." Nie Xiaoqian thought to herself.

She knows very well that if she continues to do things for her grandmother, she will definitely die in the hands of her grandmother in the end.

Just like the other female ghosts, didn't they all die overnight yesterday?

I was able to survive because Ning Caichen, the stupid scholar, saved me, and if I didn't save it, I probably wouldn't be able to come back today.

And what happened in this dim underground Li Xiuyuan didn't know.

At this moment, the Lanruo Temple is very calm.

Yan Chixia and Xiahou Wu were also bold after drinking hard, and they fell asleep like this, and they were not afraid that the tree demon would appear again and kill the lives of the two of them.

Ning Caichen didn't think about eating, hiding in a meditation room, thinking back to Nie Xiaoqian's beautiful figure yesterday, he couldn't help but twist the pen and polish the ink, and was drawing a portrait of Nie Xiaoqian by memory.

But in the afternoon, Li Xiuyuan came.

I didn't bring many people, just a few coffin bearers.

The coffin bearer heard that he was going to Lanruo Temple to carry the coffin, but he was so frightened that he didn't want to come, and finally added money, and he really couldn't wipe off the face of the eldest young master of the Li family, so he had to accept this errand.

"It's going to get dark soon, I heard that Lanruo Temple is haunted, all the monks in the temple have run away, and some passers-by who stayed in Lanruo Temple have also been killed one after another, why do you want to come to this unclean place, young master?" A dark and emaciated middle-aged man was left and right.

"Carry the coffin and leave, nothing else, don't worry, if there are monsters and ghosts, I will also keep you safe, don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, hurry up and move the coffin in the back mountain, don't delay it for too long." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, yes, yes. The coffin bearer did not want to delay the hour.

followed Li Xiuyuan to the back mountain, and after finding Qingmei's tomb, he immediately began to dig up the coffin.

After the sealed soil was dug up, I saw a solid wood coffin lying in the soil, and the roots of old trees were densely covered nearby.

It was like a spider's web wrapped around the coffin.

"Young Master, this coffin has grown roots, and there is a demon in it. The swarthy man at the head hesitated and didn't dare to make a move.

Li Xiuyuan said: "What kind of demon, fuss, you just look at it." ”

After saying that, he took out the tiger's mouth and swallowed the golden gun, and cut off the roots of the trees with a few casual cuts.

"Look, isn't there nothing going on? Hurry up and get up the coffin, don't stop on the road, send it to my house overnight, go through the back door, and someone will naturally pay you when the time comes." Li Xiu said from afar.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan's calm appearance, the coffin bearers were also relieved, they were all bold people, otherwise they would not be able to do this job.

"Get up, get up the coffin. ”

The coffin bearer at the head greeted him, and after some preparation, five or six men lifted the coffin out of the dirt.

"Does the coffin sink?" asked the coffin bearer.

"This coffin is very light. The man carrying the coffin said, but he was slightly relieved.

Generally speaking, the light coffin means that there are no evil things, because most of the bones inside are melted or rotted, and there will be no evil spirits.

On the contrary, if the coffin is extremely heavy, it is likely that there is evil spirit, and the corpse has undergone a mutation, which is the last thing the coffin bearer is happy to see.

"Just light, hurry up and get on the road, it will be dark in a few hours. The coffin bearer said.

The crowd answered, and immediately carried the coffin on the road.

"Young Master, then we will go first, and promise to send this coffin to your mansion before dark. The coffin bearer said.

"Go ahead. Li Xiu said from afar.

Seeing this group of people carrying Qingmei's coffin away, he was not at ease and said to the left and right: "Li Zhong, send a few Yin soldiers to follow, I don't want any accidents to happen on the way, don't let anyone move the coffin, if there is any trouble that can't be solved, notify me immediately." ”

As his words fell, a dark wind swept in the shade of the surrounding trees.

A few yin winds with the smell of incense and paper ash immediately shuttled through the shade of the trees, blowing the leaves and rattling, and several yin winds condensed and followed behind the group of coffin bearers.
