Chapter 123: Sword Slashing Ancient Huai
On the dirt road to Taohuayun Ancient Village, the deity Zhuang You and the little babeast, dressed as Taoist priests, walked in the direction of the village entrance without hurrying.
Walking to the location they had been to last night, the deity Zhuang You and the little babeast stopped. The little beast once again described the scene he had seen last night.
The deity Zhuang You nodded, looking at the figure of someone carrying water home at the entrance of the village, he hurriedly released his consciousness to probe everything within a radius of a hundred miles. Especially yesterday's mixed Yuan Dragon's Yuan Shen specifically referred to the back mountain.
To his surprise, everything around him and the village were in a beautiful place, and there was absolutely no sign of ghosts. Whatever this illusion, he would not forget the sinister aura that had held back him last night.
Just like the primordial god of the mixed Yuan Dragon said, a female dragon can form a yin aura here, blocking people from entering and leaving the village, and it is by no means an ordinary ghost. He felt that there should be some demon beasts and the like behind the Houshan cemetery that were cultivating with the help of female monsters.
At this time, Zhang Zheng's family came out of the village with the wind and dust. He saw the deity Zhuang You and the little beast from a distance, and couldn't help but come over with joy on his face.
"Master Dao, it's just the right time. Come with me to the house. My wife said that yesterday the house was haunted. Datong came up and took the deity village to the village.
Seeing this, Zhuang You had no choice but to follow Datong into the village. When they passed by the ancient locust tree at the entrance of the village, a sinister aura that diffused made the little beast roar and pounce on it.
I saw a female voice full of resentment coming from the place where I was caught. The little beast didn't stop there, and slammed into the ancient locust tree. When the ancient locust tree was silent, it retracted its claws.
Datong saw that the little beast was so ferocious, and he glanced at the deity Zhuang You. The dead horse he was holding was a live horse doctor, and his thoughts of finding a Taoist priest to fool Gui Fen suddenly dissipated. After he saluted the deity Zhuang You with his fists in his hands, he asked why the little beast was so cruel to the ancient locust tree.
The deity Zhuang You is not pretentious, and he told the discovery of last night. In the end, he also asked Datong about the situation in the back mountain by the way.
Datong heard that last night, the little beast saw a white woman burrow into the ancient locust tree and disappear. I couldn't help but avoid it a little with some fear. Then he told Zhuang You everything that happened in Zhang's mansion last night word for word, and wanted him to go to the mansion as soon as possible to help catch ghosts.
"Brother Datong, don't be busy. Look at the scared look on your face just now. Is there anything strange about this ancient locust tree?" Zhuang You, the deity, stopped the little baba beast that circled around the ancient locust tree looking for an attack target, and waited for Datong's reply with a smile on his face.
Datong glanced at the broken branches that were already a little dry, and pulled the deity Zhuang You down far away before he was slightly relieved. He said: "Three months ago, my second wife, Jin Huai, was hanged from this ancient locust tree. Speaking of which, she is also a hard worker. If it weren't for the eldest lady of my family who took advantage of the master's outing to instruct Steward Wang to beat the second lady, she would not have taken this step to a dead end......"
Just as the deity Zhuang You was about to ask some details, a middle-aged man dressed like a housekeeper walked over to them with a few subordinates. This person is the steward Wang that Datong said in his mouth, with a treacherous and cheap face, and he is definitely not a good person.
Seeing the incense candles and paper money in the hands of those servants, the deity Zhuang You understood the meaning of their group. Although he had a certain understanding of the white woman who appeared last night, he felt that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. He felt that a hanged ghost was not enough to harm one party, and he did not have the ability to set up a yin evil array.
"Datong, the lord asked you to go out and invite a Taoist priest to do it. Why are you still here?" Steward Wang couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw Datong standing at the edge of the village with the deity Zhuang You, pointing at the ancient locust tree.
Zhuang You heard that Steward Wang didn't take him seriously, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart. When Steward Wang walked in front of him and reprimanded Datong, he summoned the Xuanmang Sword and pointed a Mengyuan Xuanyan at the ancient locust tree.
As the flame that emitted a faint purple light came out of the sky, Steward Wang, who had just despised the deity Zhuang You for three points, immediately changed his face. He hurriedly smiled at the deity Zhuang You, and was about to get closer, but he was frightened by the roar of the little beast in front of him, and squatted on the ground.
And the deity Zhuang You stared at the ancient locust tree burned by Meng Yuan Xuanyan without squinting, and the consciousness released was also vigilantly scanning the fluctuations of the Yuan Force that appeared around him. He was worried that the people behind the Yin Evil Array that had been set up yesterday would intervene with him to kill the ancient locust tree spirit and the female ghost who lived here.
When the flames burned the trunk of the ancient locust tree to the ground, a roar came from the ground and the little beast that was waiting for the opportunity to swoop forward and slap its claws.
After a painful oops, a white-bearded old man with a full beard knelt down in front of the deity Zhuang You. While begging for mercy from the deity Zhuang You, he watched the movements of the little beast with frightened eyes. He feared that if he wasn't careful, he would become a meal for that dog-like thing.
"Old Locust Tree, look at your Taoism, you are also a thousand-year-old tree spirit who has survived the transformation tribulation. If you don't protect one side, why do you still join forces with female ghosts to make trouble and there is no peace in the village?"
Hearing that Zhuang You saw his own Taoism at a glance, the old locust tree spirit had no choice but to look at the direction of the mountain behind Taohuayuan Village with fear, and shook his head helplessly, but refused to speak again.
"Old dryad, don't resist. ”
As Benzun Zhuang spoke, he moved the old tree spirit into the dark room where the Nine Xuanyu Grinding Disc of the Teapot Immortal Mansion was located. He thought about it, if the old tree spirit still had some scruples in the Immortal Mansion, then let him taste the taste of grinding souls.
The old tree spirit is not a fool, and as soon as he entered the Teapot Immortal Mansion, he was shocked by the rich vitality inside. Although he was in the punishment dark room of the Teapot Immortal Mansion, he could naturally feel the difference in the environment with the nature of the plant family. Therefore, without waiting for the formation to open, he knelt on the ground and explained to the Yuan Shen of the Mixed Yuan Dragon that he had been coerced by the Yuan Shen of the snake demon beast in the back mountain.
It turned out that before the snake demon beast Yuan Shen Future Peach Blossom Source Ancient Village, the old tree spirit had just survived the transformation tribulation, cultivated a human form, and could walk freely at night. Once, when he passed by the cemetery in the back mountain, he was entangled in the spirit of the snake demon beast that passed by.
Just when he thought that the thousand-year-old Dao was ruined, the Yuan Shen who claimed to be Yuan Mang let him go. But this was not an unconditional release, but to let the old dryad use the night to assist him in setting up the Yin Evil Array at a distance of a mile from the entrance of the village.
"What is the use of the Yin Demon Array to the primordial god of a snake demon beast?" The primordial god of the mixed yuan dragon frowned, confused by Yuan Mang's purpose of arranging the Yin Demon Array.
The spirit of the old locust tree spirit said with tears: "The predecessors don't know. That Yuan Mang seemed to be going to cultivate the Yin Demon Sword with the help of Yin Evil Qi, preparing to avenge the beheading of his body. ”
"What does this have to do with that white woman?" The Yuan Shen of the Mixed Yuan Dragon opened his mouth for him without waiting for the deity Zhuang You to ask.
"The woman was a poor person, too. She was beaten and abused by Mrs. Zhengfang, and just three months ago she came to my body and hanged herself. At that time, I didn't dare to take a life and harm myself more sins, so I broke the branch to save her life. Who knows, that Yuan Mang sensed my kindness, not only beat me, but also detained the woman's soul, creating the illusion that she was hanged. ”
The Yuan Shen of the Mixed Yuan Dragon sensed the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to draw conclusions again. So, through the sound of Yuanli transmission, the deity Zhuang You was called in.
Seeing that things were beyond his imagination, Zhuang You no longer hid his clumsiness, took out the teapot Xianfu casually, and flashed in. The little beast was worried that the matter would cause unwarranted panic and speculation among the villagers of Peach Blossom Garden, so he stood at the gate of the immortal mansion that had transformed into a Taoist temple.
"Old tree spirit, why did Yuan Mang take Jin Huai's detention away, why did he release it back? Last night, our group encountered a female who set up a blindfold to block the way. What's going on?"
A look of fear crossed the old dryad's face. Just when he was hesitating whether to tell him as much as he wanted, the deity Zhuang You had already urged Yuan Li to open the Nine Xuanyu Grinding Plate.
"Old tree spirit, my Grandpa Long may not have told you just now. This Nine Xuanyu Mill is for you hard-mouthed guys. Before, even a golden immortal couldn't bear the pain of grinding gods, and obediently accepted my soul search......"
Before Zhuang You could say the words that followed, the old tree spirit smiled bitterly, and then put forward the condition for him to speak.
"Heavenly Master, I know that I can't make conditions to you today. But I know that once you are gone, it will be my soul and Jin Huai's soul that will suffer. What if I tell the truth and ask the Celestial Master to take us in and send the soul of Jin Huai to be reincarnated?"
Hearing that the spirit of the old tree spirit actually made a condition with the deity Zhuang You, the Yuan Shen of the Mixed Yuan Dragon couldn't help but be furious. He urged the power of the Yuan Shen and wanted to teach the old tree spirit who didn't open his eyes a lesson, but he was stopped by the deity Zhuang You.
"Grandpa Long, forget it. For the sake of him being able to think about the female ghost, we agreed to him. Afterwards, you can stay in the Teapot Immortal Mansion, but first make a Heavenly Dao Oath. ”
The old tree spirit couldn't help but be happy when he saw that he had a positive response to his request. He was afraid that the deity Zhuang You would regret it, so he immediately raised his hand and issued a natal oath to the Heavenly Dao. When the oath was sealed from the sky, he immediately opened his mouth and told Yuan Mang to use Jin Huai's corpse to pretend to be a female lu to stop the immortal cultivators, and to refine their Yuan Dan.
"Abominable thing. The deity Zhuang You dodged his feet angrily, then glanced at the old tree spirit, and continued: "You don't have to go out again. Your body will be blown up by the thunder in a moment. It should be the base of the Yin Evil Array arranged by Yuan Mang. ”
The old tree spirit nodded, and then hid the soul of the golden locust in a jingyuan stone at the bottom of the tree, so as to assist Yuan Mang in guarding the Yin Evil Array. He was worried that if he didn't explain it again, Jin Huai's soul would be wiped out under the bombardment of heavenly thunder.
After a little calculation in his heart, Zhuang You moved the old tree spirit to the side of the gladiatorial arena. Before leaving, he also used the chaotic power in his body to help the old tree spirit repair the damaged spirit, and let him live in that hundred-year-old tea tree to continue his cultivation.
When he walked out of the Teapot Immortal Mansion, he found that many curious villagers had gathered at the entrance of the village. He looked around, and without waiting for Zhang Zheng, who rushed to hear the news, he summoned the Xuanmang Sword with his heart, and then urged Yuan Li to slash out the "power of thunder" at the blackened ancient locust tree.
As a purple electric dragon burst out from the tip of the Xuanmang Sword, the ancient locust tree was accurately split into pieces. And the little beast that was on standby nearby, seeing the moment when the Yin Evil Array Base was destroyed, took the piece of Jingyuan Stone in its mouth. But before it could take a step, a black whirlwind swept it away.
