I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 298 The Man in the Tree
Leaving aside the issue of the need for the Celestial Master Seal, Gu Yao turned to look at the four corpses, which were scattered all over the place.

Fortunately, he cast a talisman to protect them, otherwise it would be damaged very much.

Walking over quickly to check again, Gu Yao added some talismans to them.

"Zhang Heqing has completely fallen into a deep sleep, but these three are still struggling. My talisman is above Shutao, but its mana is not as good. Before, in her location, my ability to recover Qi was much slower, and now it is better. Let's get rid of Shutao's white paper talisman for them first, so that even if there is any accident, these people will not be controlled by her."

Gu Yao drew a few more talismans, and after pulling out Shutao's talismans, he turned his gaze to the village.

Because of the dispelling of Yan Luo's Dharma, the unstable state of this space was relieved, but it was only relieved. After being rolled over a large area by Jiuying's poisonous water, the outside scenery still flickers from time to time. Will a sharp ray of light burst out? wind.

But the area of ​​the village is exactly the same as before, without any change.

Raising his head inadvertently, Gu Yao's eyes froze, and he hurriedly looked up to the top of Banyue Lake, and said in his mouth: "It really is."

In the formation here, there are four Xiangxing Lords in the sky, but because of King Shen's escape, Qinglong Xingjun disappeared, leaving only three.

And just now, Suzaku Xingjun was blown to pieces, leaving only two statues of Xuanwu and Baihu. At this moment, these two Xingjun are just facing each other. The White Tiger is suppressing Banyue Lake, while Xuanwu Xingjun sits cross-legged above the village.

"The king of dogs. The origin of the yellow dog is still unknown, but it has been loyally protecting the village and strictly preventing outsiders like us from entering."

"Yidie. Shutao disappeared, did she catch Yidie and escape to the village, and is she planning something?"

Gu Yao started to enter the village, walked two steps and then stopped, looked at the four corpses, hesitated, he threw the robbery sword in the direction of Shendi: "Let Die'er and the others come and protect these corpses for the time being. I'll go into the village to see for myself, lest it be too late and cause irreparable consequences."

Without the robbery sword, but with the black dragon magic machine in hand, Shutao, a Yang god who has no location, is not difficult to deal with.

Gu Yao walked into the village with strides, inspecting the houses one by one, and paid special attention to whether there was a basement similar to the library in the village head's house.

But he thought too much, the houses of the other villagers were clean, except that there was no dust, there was no secret at all.

There is neither a diary with secrets and histories, nor a dark room where dark things are hidden.

Gu Yao spent about half an hour walking the entire village, but found nothing, nothing.

"Am I thinking too much? It's just an accident that this village was surrounded by Xuanwu Xingjun. Shutao didn't hide here?"

Gu Yao raised his head and glanced at Xuanwu Xingjun on his head, and returned to the entrance of the village. Die'er and Jingyin had already arrived here, and Jiejian was stuck in front of the village gate, waiting for him to come back.

"Die'er, teacher, are you all right?" Gu Yao said.

"No problem." Jingyin replied: "Is there any news about the whereabouts of Princess Changle?"

Gu Yao also shook his head, and said helplessly: "If the dog king is not swallowed by Shutao, maybe he can know some secrets, but now, his eyes are dark."

"The only people who are familiar with this place are Yidie and Shutao." Jing Yin sighed with emotion, but she stopped suddenly when she said this.

Gu Yao also had a flash of inspiration: "There is one more person."

That old man!

Then Gu Yao shook his head again and said: "But there is something wrong with his memory, his memory is spliced ​​together, I have already read it, and I can't find any secrets if I ask again."

Jing Yin laughed, she sniffed her nose lightly and said: "Then how did his memory be spliced ​​together? Who spliced ​​it and why was it spliced? What's the purpose of the person who did this?"

"Of course I don't know, the old man doesn't have any of these in his memory." Gu Yao didn't understand what Jing Yin meant.

"Yeah, he doesn't know it himself, and you haven't seen it, but his words can always reveal some leftovers, which he didn't even notice."

She clapped her hands and said to Amitabha: "Let's go, since we have no target, let the poor nun chat with him, maybe we can discover some secrets that you haven't noticed."

"alright."

Gu Yao had no choice but to look at the four corpses: "Is there a way for the teacher to take the four of them away?"

"Small things."

Stretching out the mute sleeve robe, he waved his hand inside the robe three times, a white light flashed, and the four corpses disappeared in place.

"Who are these four benefactors?" After tidying up, she asked curiously.

"Talk while you walk."

Gu Yao controlled the robbery sword, let the two of them board, and then said: "All four of them were killed by Shutao, and one of them was her husband."

blah blah blah.

After listening, Die'er and Jingyin both sighed, and Jingyin said: "So that's the case, the benefactor of Shutao has already become possessed."

"Perhaps she is devoted to the devil?" Gu Yao replied, and with the speed of the wind, Banyue Lake was already in front of him.

Gu Yao glanced at the White Tiger Xingjun again. At this moment, the stars that make up it are also constantly twinkling, looming in the sky, as if they have reached their limit, and they will shatter after a long time.

"Moon Lake"

Gu Yao stared at the swaying and enchanting red trees on the top of the mountain, and remembered that the old man once said that he buried the "child" around Banyue Lake, but he didn't notice it in his memory, maybe it was stitched together chaotically Came out of memory masking.

"Master, that old man mentioned the child before. When we met him for the first time, he also yelled at Banyuehu about the child."

Jingyin nodded and said: "I know, I will guide him in this direction at that time, and you can rest assured that our Buddhism is very strong in persuading people."

I was afraid that you would be persuaded physically, although you have really calmed down a lot after going through the ghost world for hundreds of years, Gu Yao slandered, saying yes repeatedly.

Landed at the place where I parted from the old man yesterday, this place has not been eroded by the gray ocean of the nine-baby snake head, and still retains the appearance of green grass.

But looking at the dead gray in the distance, and then looking at the seemingly prosperous grassland in front of me, but without a single insect, mantis, ant and mosquito, it makes people feel even more uneasy.

"There is a more terrifying thing here, which scares Jiuying away."

After Jing Yin landed, he had already walked towards the cave, but the old man was not here, so I must have hidden in the mountainside again.

While thinking, Gu Yao followed behind her.

"The Nine Infants of the Fierce God should indeed be dead. The head that was raging just now must have been created by Shutao or the royal family."

"Although it's not complete, it also possesses some of the power and characteristics of the Nine Infants of the Fierce God. It even dared to attack my Yama Dharma Phase. What makes it so afraid of this place?"

After a little push, Gu Yao thought of the answer - Weaver Girl.

The dead Weaver Girl, only the Weaver Girl who crushed it to ashes, can root fear into its body, even if it has no sense, it will instinctively fear and stay away.

This also coincides with the legend that Zhinu was buried in Banyue Lake.

"Then why is it migrating in my direction so persistently? Is there something attracting it? The dog king suppressed it before, but it immediately made a comeback after being repelled, instead of trying to occupy other places first."

"There are other parts of the fierce god Jiuying hidden in the village, attracting it? Or other fierce gods?!"

Gu Yao stopped at the entrance of the cave, did not follow in, and looked at the village from a distance.

"Xuanwu Xingjun. Compared with Baihu Xingjun at this moment, it is more stable. Does this mean that the things in the village are not as fierce as Zhinu with the moon? Or on the contrary, only Xuanwu Xingjun, who is as mountainous as a mountain, is more stable. Can we suppress the things under the village?"

While he was thinking about it, Jing Yin came out with a gloomy expression: "He's not inside."

"Not there? Where did he go? Didn't he die in the aftermath just now?" Gu Yao was a little surprised. The old man was cursed by him at the time, but after he walked a certain distance, the spell disappeared. It's time to dissipate.

The old man has hands and feet. Although he has memory problems, his brain is not bad. Seeing the gray ocean spreading, could it be possible that he can't run, but rushed over on his own initiative?

Gu Yao thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to Banyue Lake: "Go there and look for it, otherwise, you can only come back after the next reincarnation begins."

"It just so happens that Princess Changle has disappeared. We are also looking around Banyue Lake. The real Princess Changle has a close relationship with this place. Maybe we can find her near here."

After mastering the method of controlling the impermanent dead master with the power of penetrating darkness, Gu Yao is also a real Yangshen combat power, and can protect himself here, so he splits up with Die'er, and let Die'er protect the unknown power. Silently, while Yujian was flying fast in the air.

He didn't dare to fly over Banyue Lake. There are many secrets hidden in this lake, and he needs to be careful now.

Bypassing the Moon Lake, Gu Yao galloped across the lonely green grassland.

In a circle with a diameter of ten miles centered on Banyue Lake, there are delicious grasses and gurgling water, but there are no animals.

Only the extremely plump grass lowered its head, and shook its head from side to side when the wind blew.

"It's an uncomfortable green."

After searching around, without receiving any goods, Gu Yao returned to Banyue Lake, landed at the foot of the mountain, put away the robbery sword, walked along the slope to the top of the mountain, walked to the leader, looked around, and when he thought he was going to find nothing again, But suddenly, at the place where it was facing diagonally, something strange was discovered.

is that an arm?
Gu Yao felt that his eyes were a little dazzled, so he collected himself, continued to look, and couldn't help hissing: "It's really an arm."

"I don't know where Die'er and Jingyin Shitai are?"

After looking around, but not seeing the two of them, Gu Yao rushed to the place where the arm was, and took a closer look.

This arm was wrapped in gray clothes, facing Banyue Lake, if it wasn't standing at a nearer oblique angle, it really couldn't be seen.

Not daring to touch it directly, Gu Yao drew out the robbery sword and tapped his arm lightly.

His arm trembled, and with a flick of the sword, he tore a little of his clothes slightly, exposing the arm inside.

"It looks like it belongs to a man." Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Gu Yao carefully stretched out two fingers and put them on the arm.

"It's actually a living person!"

Gu Yao was surprised, and carefully inspected the tree.

"Is this a person growing in the tree and wrapped in wood, or is the tree cultivating a human body and growing half an arm?"

"The old man said he buried the children, did he bury them in a tree?"

Gu Yao took a glance, inserted the robbery sword heavily into the soil, turned and planed, and pulled out a hole.

The roots and branches of the trees in the pit are luxuriant, extending in all directions, and because the trees around the Moon Lake are so close together, the roots and fibers have long been entangled, making it difficult to distinguish them.

Gu Yao thought about it for a while, and gave up the idea of ​​pulling this weird tree upside down. Instead, Yu Jian quickly dug a big hole in the soil, cut off countless roots, and quickly brought the tree down.

Dragging the tree, Gu Yao retreated slightly away from Banyue Lake, in order to avoid any accidents, then put the tree body upside down on the ground, controlled the sword to cut inch by inch, and slowly dug out the person inside the trunk .

"Sure enough, it is a person. Just looking at this servant, he must be an ancient person, and he is still alive."

This person's breathing was steady, and his heart rose and fell very regularly. Even though he was dug out of the tree by Gu Yao, there was no change.

He was dressed in ordinary gray linen clothes, indicating that he was from a poor family before he was buried. Looking at his face, he should be in his 30s or [-]s. The old man called him a child, and he barely said it.

Gu Yao looked at it for a while, squatted down, and lightly pressed his hand to see if he could wake him up.

After squeezing it a few times, the person's breathing became disordered, and the eyelids moved with difficulty, as if an extremely tired person was trying to open his eyes, but his body was too tired and he couldn't control it at all.

Gu Yao watched the man struggle for a long time, his face was all wrinkled, and he finally managed to open it a little.

Reaching out to pull the man up, he asked, "Why are you sleeping in the tree?"

"Grumble rumble."

The man opened his mouth with words he couldn't understand, and he spoke so fast that Gu Yao's face was full of bewilderment.

"Is this the dialect before the language was unified?"

This person seemed to be anxious because Gu Yao didn't answer, and the grumbling became even more anxious.

Gu Yao tried his best to distinguish all the words and phrases in "Gulu Gulu", and barely heard a few familiar words and sentences: "He probably spoke the dialect from Chang'an to the west before the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

If it's impolite, maybe you can use the Qingming soul technique to check this person's soul, but
Gu Yao decided to try harder, maybe Die Er found the old man and could pull him to translate?

He interrupted the grunt, pointed at the man, then at the tree, and made a sleeping motion: "Understood?"

The man nodded, then pointed at Gu Yao, himself and the tree.

"Why did you dig him out?"

Point people, wave your hands, and point trees.

The two used both hands and feet, barely communicating smoothly.

Until a hearty laugh came from behind.

"Gu Yao, are you dancing?" Jing Yin lifted the old man and laughed, "You danced really well, hahaha, can't you two dance together?"

Gu Yao was a little embarrassed and stopped moving. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Die Er's erratic expression and Chang Le, the shadow with blank eyes. He couldn't help being surprised and said, "Die Er, where did you find the princess?"
