Chapter 137: Descending the Dragon Tree
"Wow~"
Cheng Ming looked at the steel knife in his hand that had become fragments a little speechlessly, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the Five Thunder Talisman and Fire Talisman on his body, he really didn't want to use this trick, which made his original good mood ruined a lot.
Put away the handle of the knife, Cheng Mingxin said, it seems that tomorrow we must go to the four corners of the world to see if there is a good knife, otherwise the chain will be lost at a critical moment, and it will really be fatal.
At this time, he suddenly heard the little ghost's scolding: "What's the matter with you female ghost, seeing that the little ghost uncle is here, you still dare to disturb the master, believe it or not, I ate you!"
Seeing the appearance of the little ghost with his teeth and claws, Cheng Ming hurriedly opened the Tianyan Pass, and saw that fifty or sixty meters in front of him, there was a female ghost holding a baby, who was pitifully begging the little ghost.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Ming was a little speechless, this little ghost usually looks honest, but he still can't change the virtue of ghost cultivation, it seems that he still has time to teach.
Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, let it come." ”
The female ghost was overjoyed when she heard this, and under the gaze of the little ghost, she came to Cheng Ming.
When the female ghost approached, a hint of surprise flashed in Cheng Ming's eyes, this woman can be called a sinking fish and a goose, and she is ashamed of the moon, and it is estimated that no man will not be attracted to her. But if she hadn't been so beautiful and greedy for money, she wouldn't have lost her life at a young age.
"What do you want?"
The female ghost performed a blessing ceremony, and then Chu Chu said pitifully: "Heavenly Master, I beg you, can you hand over my relics to my parents in my hometown?"
"Yes, but you can't let me run for nothing, can you?"
If it were someone else, Cheng Ming wouldn't mind running an errand, but this woman was actually the mistress of the ghost gate hall master who had just died, and she didn't know that the ghost gate hall master had a wife and children, it was completely because of greed for money.
It's a pity that there is no impermeable wall in the world, some time ago, this secret was inadvertently seen by the housekeeper Cao, so the ghost gate hall master simply killed their mother and daughter.
Some people may want to ask, why didn't the ghost gate master kill Steward Cao. Instead, he killed the mother and daughter.
That's because there is a rule in the ghost gate that members are not allowed to have mistresses outside, let alone keep offspring privately. Once discovered, severe punishment will not be granted. In addition, there is no killing among members, and those who violate it will be cursed and will not be able to survive. You can't die.
In addition, this ghost master is a merciless person, and looking for her to be a mistress is just greedy for beauty, and if she kills her, she will be killed.
Although the experience of this female ghost is also pitiful, it is also self-inflicted, and for this kind of woman who destroys other people's families because of her love for vanity, Cheng Ming doesn't like it in his heart, of course he won't be polite.
The female ghost hurriedly said, "Heavenly Master, I got a spiritual object by chance some time ago. You can walk away from water, much like the legendary water-repellent bead, and if you can fulfill my wish, I am willing to give you that spiritual object. ”
Cheng Ming was slightly stunned, and agreed without hesitation.
The female ghost was very happy, and hurriedly told Cheng Ming the place where she hid the relics and spiritual objects, as well as the address of her hometown.
Listening to the words of the female ghost, Cheng Ming sighed a little in her heart, with the female ghost's defense, she must know that the ghost gate master would be unfavorable to her. However, the strength of the ghost gate made her unable to escape, otherwise her parents would also suffer, and in the end, she ended up like this.
agreed to the request of the female ghost, and Cheng Ming overtook the mother and daughter. Seeing that the mother and daughter had gone to the Donghua Changle Pure Land again, his face couldn't help but show a strange look, and he couldn't understand what was going on.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't force it, and next, he cleaned up the battlefield. And remove the ghosts that haunted him one by one. At the last glance at today's harvest, he almost laughed out loud, because with the spiritual energy alone, he had obtained nearly five hundred shares, and in this way, the spiritual energy needed by the system to recover his memory was gone.
"System, if you recover all your memories, how many days will you need to sleep?"
"Not necessarily, but it should be a long time, maybe more than three months. ”
"So long?" Cheng Ming frowned, this time is too long, and he still has a lot of things to ask the system for help during this period, it seems that this is not appropriate.
"I suggest you give me a hundred psionic powers at a time, preferably at intervals of more than a month, so that I should be asleep a little less. ”
Cheng Ming immediately understood the meaning of the system, just as it would be difficult for people to digest after eating, and the system also had a process of digestion and adaptation.
"Okay, how long will you sleep this time? ”
"It can be as short as three days, as long as a week. ”
"Okay, when today's matter is settled, I'll give you the spiritual energy ......"
After a walk around Wusongling, it is not surprising that there is also a ** formation here, I don't know how Li Jigang got in at the beginning. However, fortunately, there is this ** array, otherwise the cave would have been discovered by the people of the ghost gate a long time ago.
As for the previous peaks, although there was also a maze, but because the interior had been deserted, after cracking it once, the maze could not be automatically restored, and only then would it be discovered by the people of the ghost gate.
When the system cracked the maze, Cheng Ming found the cave and used the jade pendant to open the stone door of the cave.
After a rumbling sound, Cheng Ming felt a gust of mountain wind wafting out of the stone cave, at the beginning, he smelled a fishy smell, but after a while, he felt that there was a sweet smell in the fishy smell.
"Is it poisonous?" Cheng Ming was slightly stunned, and hurriedly retreated from the cave and examined his body, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
"System, did you find anything?"
"This place is a little strange, it can isolate the divine sense, you better let Xiaobai help. ”
Cheng Ming hurriedly released Xiaobai when he heard this, and as soon as Xiaobai came out, it took a few steps back: "Master, why does the smell here smell so bad, and it's poisonous." ”
"Really poisonous?"
Xiaobai said solemnly: "There is a very slight poisonous gas, but it will accumulate, and when it breaks out, there will be very serious consequences." ”
Knowing this result, Cheng Ming was a little embarrassed, although the poison gas is slight now, it has little impact, but this is only the door, the poison gas inside will definitely be more serious, and to what extent, he does not know.
I don't know what the person who arranged it is, think about it, why do you make some poisonous gas in a good place?
Cheng Ming complained a little in his heart, and at this time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "By the way, I am afraid of poisonous gas, the little ghost should not be afraid, you can let him explore the way first." ”
A hint of joy flashed on Cheng Ming's face, and he hurriedly released the little ghost and explained it.
"Master, you can rest assured, the little ghost promises to complete the task!"
The imp patted his chest and went straight into the cave. But after a while, Cheng Ming felt the little ghost's painful wail.
This suddenly startled him, and he hurriedly called the little ghost a few times, but there was no reaction at all. So, he hurriedly took out an antidote pill, and was about to take it and then went into the cave to check, but saw the little ghost stumbling out of the cave.
Seeing that the little ghost's figure seemed to be a little darker than before, Cheng Ming knew that his soul was injured, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
The little ghost said with palpitations: "There is a big toad more than a meter long inside, and after it screamed, I felt severe pain all over my body, and I had no strength at all, and then I ran out desperately." ”
Hearing that this was the case, Cheng Ming pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Have you seen what that toad looks like?"
The little ghost recalled: "I didn't see anything else, but I saw that its eyes were pink, and when it called, it would turn red." ”
Cheng Ming immediately knew that the toad that the little ghost encountered should be the famous body erosion toad in the cultivation realm.
Why is it famous, it is because it kills the Yuan Infant with one sound and the Yin God with two sounds...... Four Voices of Killing Immortals...... Shout six times, and even the immortals will fall.
Of course, this is talking about a tenth-order body-eclipping toad, which is definitely not comparable to the toad in the cave.
In addition, the body erosion toad here must also be a mutant variety, and the level is not high, otherwise it is impossible to only scream, and even the little ghost can't deal with it.
Knowing that it was a body-eroding toad in the cave, Cheng Ming breathed a sigh of relief, that was because although the body-eroding toad was powerful, it also had to inhale the poisonous gas released by it, and it could only be obtained to a certain extent, otherwise it would not be so powerful just by its chirping.
In this case, Cheng Ming can easily solve the body erosion toad by taking a few more antidote pills.
With a countermeasure, Cheng Ming asked the little ghost to go back to the small world to cultivate first, and when he was ready, he walked into the cave.
Entering the belly of the mountain, Cheng Ming found that this place was much larger than several other caves, but most of the places in the cave were swamps, and there was a black and viscous liquid inside, and after getting closer, he could clearly smell a pungent fishy smell.
This fishy smell just covered up the faint sweet smell, which made many uninformed people be calculated because of this, and Li Jigang should be one of them.
In addition to this swamp, there is a stone path facing the stone gate, leading to the center of the cave, where there is a tree about one meter long, covered with golden dragon patterns and shining with gold stars, and the leaves are dark green and shaped like a sword.
"Descending the Dragon Tree, I should have thought it was a long time ago. ”
Cheng Ming laughed, the five elements of the dragon tree belong to gold, which is a kind of wood for detoxification and evil spirits. Of course, it doesn't just have these two effects, as the name suggests, this wood is born to be the nemesis of dragons, and the magic weapon it makes can be multiplied against dragons.
As a result, the Dragon Tree is one of the most hated things by the Dragons, and once discovered, it will often be destroyed at any cost.
In addition, there is a strange thing about the dragon tree, although it is a detoxification and evil tree, it must grow in a poisonous environment, and the stronger the toxin, the better it grows.
Cheng Ming thinks that this may be the opposite of the extreme. (To be continued.) )
