"Bring me a pound of rice cake!" Hou Jiuming took some broken silver from the storage bag in his sleeve and threw it to the boss.
After receiving the money, the shopkeeper became even more enthusiastic, "Sir, you have good taste. Our rice cakes, not to mention other places, are among the best in the entire Jiangbei Town.
Keep it for you to remember after you eat it!”
As the shopkeeper said this, he turned his back, put the silver in his mouth secretly, and bit it.
After seeing the clear tooth marks on it and the silver inside the marks, he reached out and picked up an exquisite copper scale in front of him to weigh the silver.
After weighing the silver, the boss took out the broken silver and gave it to Hou Jiuming before going to weigh the rice cakes.
Taking advantage of this time, Hou Jiuming asked.
"Shopkeeper, where is your Tian family's old house in Jiangbei Town?"
The busy boss was very enthusiastic because of the money. When he heard the inquiry, he immediately said, "Tian's old house, that place has been in panic for a long time.
It's just to the east of the town. If you walk along the road, when you get to the town, there will be an intersection. Turn to the right and you will see it at the end."
While he was talking, the shopkeeper had already weighed the rice cakes and was wrapping them with a leaf from an unknown plant.
"Thank you, shopkeeper!" After taking the rice cake, Hou Jiuming thanked him and led his horse towards the town.
As for why not riding a horse.
The main reason is that this is a town, and horses are not machines. It would be bad if they were frightened and bumped into people.
According to what the shopkeeper said, it was only time for a cup of tea before we came to a large house with a Tianfu hanging on it.
This house should have some ideas.
The white wall covering is peeling off, and there are still lush weeds growing on the wall.
At the gate, the fonts inlaid on the plaque disappeared, leaving only a flat wooden board. If it weren't for the traces of fonts still remaining on it, I might not even know what was written on it.
In the courtyard, a tall tree that can be seen from outside stands standing inside.
Its canopy is so big that it covers half of the house.
"This is the first time I have seen such a big tree."
The ancients liked to plant trees in their yards, but those trees were all low trees, and it was very rare for a tree like this to cover half of a house.
"No wonder such a big house is abandoned. Planting such a big tree will cause problems sooner or later."
After complaining for a while, Hou Jiuming directly used the spiritual eye technique.
As the mana was mobilized, the scene in front of him did not change at all.
The big tree is big, but it is an ordinary tree, nothing out of the ordinary.
"Hey, you shouldn't have your hopes up in a place like this. It's so close to Linjiang City. Even if there is a spiritual tree, people will probably have discovered it long ago."
Hou Jiuming regained his strength in disappointment, then shook his head and led the horse away from here.
Anyway, it's just one place, there are six or seven more, so don't worry about not finding the spirit tree.
After leaving the town, Hou Jiuming got on his horse and hurried to the next place.
When we arrived at the second place, it was still the same. Although the trees were quite old, they did not contain aura and were just ordinary trees.
The third place,
everywhere,
In the fifth place, I went to five places in a row until it got dark, but I still found no trees that agreed with me.
"Looks like you're not very lucky!"
Hou Jiuming sat cross-legged by the campfire, thinking about where to look next.
…………
The next day, his bad luck seemed to have run out, and he found the spiritual tree he wanted at the first stop.
It's a locust tree.
However, the location of this tree is a bit special.
It's on a cemetery.
Look at the bulging earth bags and some corpses wrapped in mats.
Hou Jiuming immediately decided to get rid of the tree.
"I can be considered as slaying demons!"
With his cultivation, he naturally discovered the lonely ghosts hidden in the tombs.
The locust tree is inherently yin, and it would be strange if it still grew inside the grave. It would be strange if it wasn't haunted.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Hou Jiuming. This tree was more than a hundred years old and was still a spiritual tree. Why were the ghosts nearby so weak?
I have never seen anyone reach the realm of wild ghosts.
"Could it be that this tree turned into a spiritual tree not long ago?" Looking for a reason to comfort himself, Hou Jiuming suppressed his doubts, walked around the tombs, and slowly came to the locust tree.
The diameter of the locust tree is as thick as three people hugging each other. The trunk is crooked and the branches are leafy. Even in broad daylight, standing underneath it feels cold.
And at the top of the locust tree, like the ghosts and monks, there is also a colored fog pillar.
Obviously, this tree has become a climate. If you give it some time, it might actually be possible to give birth to intelligence.
By then, I'm afraid the damage will be even greater.
Thinking of this, Hou Jiuming no longer hesitated, took out the Green Bamboo Sword and infused it with magic power.
With a roar of "Buzz~", the green bamboo sword instantly grew longer and larger with the blessing of mana.
It could be held in one hand, but now it has grown to over two meters long and half a foot wide!
This is the size of the instrument.
Every magic weapon has it.
The higher the level of the magic weapon, the more powerful it will be.
Like the best magic weapon, the smallest one can be as small as an embroidery needle, and the largest one depends on the materials used.
Like the Green Bamboo Sword, its size is just ordinary.
The smallest one is as big as a dagger, and no matter how big it is, it is as big as it is now.
Seeing that the magic weapon had reached its maximum limit, Hou Jiuming's consciousness moved, and the green bamboo sword, with a faint light, slashed directly towards the roots of the locust tree.
"Huh~"
The strong wind blew back, and the green bamboo sword, with its chilling light, was about to strike the tree.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
The locust tree, which was originally like a dead thing, shook violently in its crown, and countless leaves made a "clatter~" sound.
Then more than a dozen tree roots burst out of the ground like giant pythons.
"Wow~"
Dirt splashes.
Two of them glowed with black light and were drawn towards the green bamboo sword.
The rest were waving and swaying quickly towards Hou Jiuming.
"Hmph~"
Before the roots of the tree appeared, Hou Jiuming noticed something. With a cold snort, he put his foot down and flew backwards like an eagle spreading its wings.
As soon as he jumped into the air, two tree roots immediately emerged from where he was standing.
Seeing him dodge, those tree roots naturally didn't want to give up.
Each one was like a dancing whip, wrapping around Hou Jiuming.
But Hou Jiuming was not a vegetarian. While he was still in the air, dozens of fireball talismans appeared out of thin air and were instantly activated to affect the tree roots.
"Boom~"
Dozens of fireball talismans were activated at the same time, and a flame with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared, and then hit the roots of the snarling trees without any pause.
It was originally chasing the tree roots wrapped around Hou Jiuming. At such a close range, he had no time to dodge and was hit by the fireball.
"Boom~"
There was a loud noise, and a huge fireball exploded with scorching flames.
The tree roots that were so arrogant just a moment ago were directly broken into countless sections and flew in all directions under the explosion. This chapter has been completed!
