Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Demon Tree
"Young master, my subordinates found a large lotus lake ten miles upstream. There was a flat col next to it, and the climate was warmer than in the basin, and the subordinates picked some grass and came back. ”
He untied a bundle of grass and trees tied to the back of the horse and handed it to Lin Qichen and the others, and Lin Qichen gave them to the long-term and they looked at them together.
Su Yong said with some joy, "Young Master, I'm afraid this is just a good place." These plants and trees can only grow in an environment where there is no winter. Qianci has four distinct seasons, and it is really rare to find such a place!"
Lin Qichen was extremely happy! If he really found such a good place, he would have an explanation for Gao Shenyu!
Another person then stepped forward and said, "My subordinates haven't found anything suitable. On the west side, I saw a strange grove in the valley basin, which was full of camphor trees, only more than two acres, in a small basin at the entrance of a mountain pass. In the center, there is no crown on the top, but a very tall trunk with a round ball covered with green filaments on it, and it looks like a flower stem with a bud on top of it.
The subordinates didn't pay attention to it. It's just that the sun has just shone on its top. This ball of green silk is just enough to block the sun, but the light erupts around it, which is the most eye-catching;
Under the close look, the subordinates were frightened! It can keep changing and shaking in the daylight, and will shake those green hairs around, but it is more like a monster head growing from the trunk of a tree, which is really evil!
The subordinates didn't dare to go any further, so hurry back and report it! The more you go to that mountain, the more strange it becomes. ”
As soon as Lin Qichen heard this, the joy just now turned into worry in an instant! The rest of the people were also at the bottom of their hearts; if there really was such a strange tree not far from here, no matter how good the col was, it would not be suitable for an old man to live in peace!
"Call back all those who are in front of you. Let's go see the tree first!"
He instructed Qi Loach again, "Find a local to ask what's going on?"
Qi Loach responded to the next sound, and with the two of them, he didn't work hard to find two sturdy villagers in their forties and fifties;
"Young Master, this is Uncle Xiang, and the other is Uncle Ding. Two old men, this is my young master, and his surname is Lin;"
Uncle Xiang is in his fifties, his face is full of red light, and his body is as strong as an ox; Uncle Ding is in his forties, with a dark face and a strong physique;
Lin Qichen dismounted and saluted the two, "Uncle Ding, Uncle Ding, the boy is polite." ”
The two of them were a little flattered, and said in a loud voice: "I can't help it!
Uncle Xiang asked, "We are all local old households, I don't know what Young Master Lin has to ask?"
Uncle Ding also said on the side: "Exactly! If Young Master Lin has anything to help with, just ask! The countryside is very simple." ”
Su Yong and the others packed up a few flat boulders, Lin Qichen invited the second elder to sit down on the stone, and he asked the two: "The kid wants to find a comfortable place in this area to buy it and live for the old people in the family."
Along the way, I saw that the river was clear and beautiful, and I was led up. I just came down to report that there is a large lotus lake in front of me, and a mountain col opposite is like spring all year round, which is extremely comfortable, and the place is neat, so I want to buy it;
When Uncle Xiang and Uncle Ding heard this, their faces showed a look of understanding. First of all, he said to the old man: "Young Master Lin wants to ask what that fire cellar has to say, right?"
"Fire cellar?" Lin Qichen wondered.
Uncle Ding smiled plainly, "That mountain col is a good place! Even in winter, the mountains are full of green trees and fruits." It has such a warm symptom because there is a mouth more than an acre in it, and flames have been burning for many years! The dozens of feet of land in the vicinity have turned into jewel-like shining, and no one can get close to see what is going on inside. ”
"Is it a crater?" asked Su Yong;
Uncle Xiang shook his head, "No! It has never spewed flames outward, but it has only burned underground inside the cave for fifty-two years, two years older than me!"
Uncle Ding said: "The col is very quiet, there is nothing bad, and nothing strange has happened; It's just that this place is listed as a sacred land by the elders of our village, and the villagers also count on it for eighty percent of the green vegetables in winter, and some of them are not easy to do!"
Changsheng could hear it, and what he wanted to inquire about the tree demon the most, he grinded it, smiled at Uncle Ding and asked, "We also saw some strange camphor trees in front of us!
"Strange camphor tree?" Uncle Ding was a little distracted, and still slapped his thigh at the old man and hit the number, "You are talking about the mountain god tree, right?"
Changsheng nodded hurriedly.
Uncle Ding also reversed, "That tree is there." Anyway, since the first generation of our ancestors came to live here, it has been there. It looks scary, but it never harms anyone! Over time, it has become part of the mountain.
A few years ago, a few immortals came to see it, and they cut off its head and took it away. At that time, the village thought that some disaster would befall or what strange thing it would do, but then the head grew again, and there was no natural disaster. The village was at peace again. ”
Lin Qichen thanked the two of them, and each of them was rewarded with a tael of silver, and Changsheng sent the two good students away.
After a while, the other eight returned. They have their own gains, but they are not in a hurry to check them first. Lin Qichen took the lead and shouted "Go!" and ran forward. The men hurried to follow;
Except for the twelve horses that scattered out when they came out of the temple city, Lin Qichen now had exactly twenty people in the whole body; he rushed forward with the spotted light horse as the leader; along the dirt road where the villagers entered the mountain, he arrived at the camphor forest in a short time; at this time, the sun was even hotter, and Lin Qichen looked at the camphor forest across a mountain stream on the spotted light horse.
Without pointing out, everyone saw the beast-headed camphor tree with a demonic pole at a glance. The main trunk is more than six zhang high, only at the bottom of the three zhang only some branches and leaves out of the swaying, the upper three zhang light pole, only at the top of the lonely top with a big green ball, just the sun itself covered a tight, in the middle of the magnificent daylight, the light is like a wheel, flexible rotation, green hair flying!!
Twenty people watched for a long time, and there was nothing unusual about the green tree. Lin Qichen wanted to see more clearly, urging the spotted light horse to step forward;
The spotted light horse has just walked to the other side of the creek and has not yet landed in the air, and the strange strange head turned to the spot where the spotted light horse is, and suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, and the air rippled and trembled!
"Young Master!"
Su Yong and the others shouted badly, and they all rode into the water and rushed towards Lin Qichen. There is also Gui Mingling's best secret weapon, which is the first to encounter it.
The green silk passed by, piercing through all the hidden weapons, and these mortal martial arts secret weapons did not play any role at all.
Then a number of talismans flew in. The green silk actually shook a few times hesitantly, obviously already spiritual! Then it became longer and longer, turning and dodging the countless Five Elements attacks left and right, but the speed of progress was directly faster than the speed at which the magic was successfully cast!
Su Yong was in a hurry, the distance between Green Silk and Lin Qichen was obviously smaller than the distance between them and Lin Qichen. When they arrived, it would be a fraction of a second. None of them expected that the incident would suddenly be so urgent! They could only hope that these talismans would be able to block and buy some time, so that they could snatch Lin Qichen out.
When Lin Qichen urged him to step forward, he had already prepared nine porcelain characters and pinched them in his hand, just in case. Don't want to really be attacked!
He lifted the reins and motioned for the Spotted Light Horse to turn around, ready to take the opportunity to shoot nine runes to cover his retreat.
"Huh?"
It must be said that Lin Qichen's personal guards are not very experienced in the team run-in and experience of the first mission, no matter how good they are! But as long as these people with extremely outstanding individual strength are reflected, they will naturally enter the situation, and their innate reflexes are even better!
Lin Qichen was stunned!
He didn't think at all that he was going to abandon the spotted horse and run for his life, even if he had to bribe this horse every day these days!
More than a dozen long whips rolled up from behind at this moment, eight rolled up on Lin Qichen's waist, and ten rolled around the limbs, waist and abdomen of the spotted light horse! Lin Qichen and the spotted light horse were dragged separately and flew backwards, and they could have escaped a catastrophe!
The green silk broke through the talisman and passed through the centaur in place!
Lin Qichen was pulled to the left rear by Su Yong and others, and the Banguang horse was pulled to the right rear by Gui Mingling. Seeing this, Lin Qichen decisively raised his right hand in the air and pressed it towards the demon head, and then fell on Su Yong's horse!
Over there, the spotted light horse flew towards the Gui Ming antelope quickly, but more than a dozen green silks only curled up in the air and accumulated, and suddenly flicked forward, and the lightning and flint were shot on the eyebrows of the spotted light horse that was still flying back in the air! Fortunately, at this time, the green silk had only just pierced into the skin of the horse's head, and most of its subsequent force was removed by the rear movement of the spotted light horse; but the speed of the green silk was obviously faster than that of manpower, and it was about to pierce through the skull of the spotted light horse......
The porcelain character text over there has been in the middle of the demon head!
"Squeak-" A soul-shaking miserable hiss resounded through everyone's hearts!
The demon head and the demon tree disappeared in the bright light of the great sun! The countless green silks that had lost their support only shook halfway, and they disappeared!
The "plop" spotted horse fell into the water at the same time.
"Spotted light horse?" Lin Qichen hurriedly jumped into the water, splashed everywhere, and ran towards the spotted light horse!
Gui Mingling dragged the horse to the opposite bank, and Lin Qichen followed. Take a look at the beautiful yellow hair on the forehead of the spotted horse, and more than a dozen small holes are "sizzling" outward, bubbling with bloodshots!
