Chapter 314 Tree Demon? Earthbound Spirit?
“…Master, wait for us.”
When the young man saw it, he hurriedly asked others to follow.
After following up, the young man couldn't help asking again: "Master, what did you mean by what you said just now? What kind of grass should I be alerted to the snake? What kind of rabbit should I guard against?"
Qi Xiang smiled, but there was no intention of explanation.
After all, he didn't want this weird thought to pollute the simple hearts of young people.
In fact, the alarm of the enemy refers to Tang Zhuti’s reminder. She told such an important thing in public, probably just because of the story, and what she wants is known to the whole village.
People are curious. Since they know this, they will definitely look for a jade of degeneration.
If you can't find it, let's not talk about it. If you find it, you will definitely not be able to hide it. At that time, the treasure will be touching. Once there are too many people, the heart will be uneven, and there will definitely be conflicts.
Conflicts and disputes arise, and no matter what, this matter cannot be concealed.
At that time, Tang Zhuti and others appeared, so they could naturally pick peaches easily.
This is called waiting for the rabbit.
Of course, this is just Qi Xiang's speculation. As for whether it is a fact, is it important? The process is not important. As long as the result is consistent with the goal they achieved, that's fine.
"Human heart..."
Qi Xiang shook his head slightly and took everyone to the Taoist temple.
At this time, it was getting late, and the crowds who had been guarding the Taoist temples before gradually dissipated. For a moment, the entire tower was empty and returned to a quiet and peaceful state.
Standing at the door, Qi Xiang did not go in, but waved: "You guys, go in and look for it."
"Well……"
The young man's eyes flashed and he whispered: "Master, are you looking for it?"
"Why not look for it?"
Qi Xiang said in a low voice: "Don't look for it. Keep it for Qingming Festival? You have also seen that those people just now look like they are either rich or noble. If you find the things and return them, it will definitely be your benefits."
"...Why should I help them find it?"
The young man was a little unhappy and muttered: "Let them find it yourself."
"Who knows if they will rush through things?"
Qi Xiang casually said, "It's a mess, you're not going to clean up. Don't be too slow, hurry up and look for it."
"good……"
Under Qi Xiang's urging, a group of people flocked into the tower, starting from the first floor of the tower and searching slowly. Any corner that felt that something might be hidden was not spared.
I searched and searched, from the first floor to the third floor, I searched for more than half an hour.
The young man and others walked down in a dirt state, obviously not finding anything.
"Can't find it?" Qi Xiang asked knowingly.
"I searched through the three floors and couldn't find it." The young man spread his hands: "I think either the old Taoist priest buried the thing and was not in the tower. Or they were lying, but there was actually nothing that thing at all."
"Then forget it." Qi Xiang didn't care: "Thank you for your hard work, go back to have a meal."
"good……"
The young man rubbed his shoulders and invited him: "Master, do you want to go to my house for dinner?"
"No, I can do it myself."
Qi Xiang waved his hand and sent the young man and others back.
The few people left. However, he did not enter the tower, but walked far away, standing on the edge of the mountain, looking up at the void, and smiling, "Fellow Daoist, you are... unkind."
Everything is silent. There is no sound at all, as if Qi Xiang is talking to herself and entertaining herself.
"Okay, just ignore it..." Qi Xiang curled her lips and said casually: "It's been a month since I've been recuperating and injured. I'm planning to leave, and say goodbye to you..."
"call!"
At this time, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the moonlight is as cool as water, and the night breeze blows slightly, yellow leaves fly into the air from somewhere, swaying like boats, slowly falling.
"Bang!"
At this moment, an illusory whip shadow seemed to fall from the sky, directly shattering several yellow leaves like slag. Then, with lightning speed, it hit Qi Xiang at the head and face.
"Hey!"
Qi Xiang showed a smile on her face: "Are you finally willing to show up?"
The illusory whip shadow hit Qi Xiang, whipping on a stone, leaving deep whip marks. A ticking sound was like a signal, a signal of the revival of all things.
For a moment, the wind was like a knife, whistling. In the grass on the hills, the grass leaves were like waves, and the ripples were undulating.
At some point, a dark cloud appeared in the sky, blocking the moonlight.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and a solemn and murderous aura is filled with strangeness.
Qi Xiang's smile also restrained her face bit by bit, frowned and said, "No, do you want to kill someone to silence me?"
"Swoosh swish swish..."
Unpredictable, many whips suddenly appeared in the dark night sky. The whips were very soft, like a group of dancing snakes, flying from all directions.
At first glance, Qi Xiang's eyes were slightly condensed and she could see clearly. The whips were actually tree roots and mountain vines.
The roots with mixed branches and the tough mountain vines, driven by some mysterious force, shuttled like a stream and weaved like a net, forming a huge cage, surrounded by layers, and wrapped Qi Xiang into a cocoon.
"Is this the rhythm of banning me?"
Qi Xiang did not dodge or avoid it, or the surrounding space, in the sky and under the ground, had been locked by tree roots and mountain vines, and could not be avoided at all. He allowed the vines to block it, forming a sealed space next to him.
As the sealed space was formed, some flexible mountain vines were like flexible snakes, hovering around his ankles and arms, as if they wanted to tie him up in large quantities.
"It's too much..."
Qi Xiang raised her eyebrows and suddenly gathered her energy and sank.
If someone touches the surface of his body's skin at this time, he will find that his body temperature suddenly drops, at least a dozen degrees lower, just like cold metal.
However, a force was brewing in his body. A huge force emerged in his dantian and instantly flowed through the meridians, and then burst out like a volcano erupting.
"boom!"
In an instant, the trees and vines surrounding Qi Xiang's body immediately broke and shattered. It was like a butterfly flying all over the ground. The sealed space suddenly became clear and became much more spacious.
However, Qi Xiang did not look proud. Instead, when she looked up and watched, she was stunned and a little shocked.
"...It seems that I have provoked something amazing."
Qi Xiang stared blankly, but saw that the tower of Chunyang Palace had disappeared in the dim hill. There was an extra towering tree in the original location of the tower.
It is really a towering tree. It has a stout trunk with a diameter of more than ten meters. The distance between the roots and the crown is probably hundreds of meters. The whole tree towers into the sky. The umbrella-shaped crown covers the space of hundreds of meters in a radius, which really covers the sky and the sun.
"This is too exaggerated."
Qi Xiang's eyes were dull and confused. It took him a long time to wake up. Then he saw that the roots of the big tree were deeply penetrated between the soil and the earth.
The entire mountain is full of dragon-like roots. These dense and interlaced roots not only entrenched several nearby hills, but even spread to the mountain village, connecting with the trees in the village.
Or in other words, the trees within a radius of dozens of miles are actually transformed from the roots of this towering tree.
This tree should be the ancestor of all plants and trees within a radius of dozens of miles.
Tree Ancestor...
"No, it should be a tree demon!"
Qi Xiang was surprised and shook her head again: "It's even more wrong, as the environment where the spiritual energy is dispersed today. Unless it is a special secret realm of the Cave Heaven and Blessings, there is no room for demons and monsters to survive."
Although the environment of this mountain village is not polluted, it is considered to be beautiful in the mountains and rivers, and it is quite energetic. However, this strong energetic is not enough to support the birth of the tree demon.
Even if this tree demon became a monster in ancient times, it would probably be destroyed as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dissipated. Otherwise, it would have been surviving and could not be as vibrant as it is now.
"etc……"
Qi Xiang looked at it intently and suddenly realized something was wrong. A flash of inspiration in his eyes and he immediately smiled: "What, it's actually scaring people, it's too sinister and cunning."
"break!"
While speaking, Qi Xiang waved his hand casually, and a paper talisman silently merged into the air, and then quietly exploded. A layer of ripples-like air wave swept through the air and shaking.
The air twisted, and a wave of ripples appeared, and then slowly spread.
With a sizzling sound, the dim night suddenly cleared, and a ray of moonlight fell again. The big tree with a waist of ten meters, a height of hundreds of meters, and the tree canopy covered the sky and the sun suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Or in other words, the terrifying big tree suddenly shrank by half and turned into a big banyan tree that was about twenty meters tall, lush with leaves and full of vitality.
Although this big banyan tree is also very huge, it is obviously not enough to see compared to the big tree just now. It is not a species of the same level at all, and the difference is huge.
The former is the legendary ancient sacred tree, similar to the big toon that takes eight thousand years as spring and eight thousand years as autumn. The latter is at most a rare big tree and still belongs to the category of normal plants.
"I've been making trouble for a long time, but I've fooled me with some tricks."
Qi Xiang couldn't help but sneer: "Don't you know that I am also an expert in illusion?"
This is called showing off his aggression and showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong.
Qi Xiang scoffed at her nose, then her expression turned cold and she shouted: "Who is messing around, come out for me. If you don't show up again, be careful that I will dig the roots of the tree and push the tree down..."
Under the threat of Qi Xiang, someone sighed helplessly in the air. Then, between the big banyan trees, moonlight slowly condensed, and an old Taoist priest with white hair and long beards appeared.
"Um?"
Qi Xiang looked at the old Taoist priest who appeared in the form of a soul with a funny look, and asked with great interest: "Monster? God?"
"Fellow Taoist, don't joke."
The old Taoist priest had kind eyes, but he looked a little frowning: "As both cultivators, they cannot seek to transcend the great way, and are greedy for life and fear of death, and they are unwilling to turn into dead bones in the tomb. They have to find another way, seek survival in death, transform into shapes, and become earth-bound spirits."
"Borrowing objects to transform into shapes, the earth binds spirits?"
