Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 20 God Tree Demon Tree?

Seeing that the blood from Qingmei's wound is flowing more and more, it can't be stopped at all. If it continues like this, it will definitely lose too much blood and die, there is no suspense.

But if it is a desperate fight right now, there is still hope.

If the incense stick inserted into the chest didn't hurt the heart or blood vessels, if it was pulled out, there was still a chance to block the wound and save Qingmei's life.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan knew that he could no longer hesitate, he gritted his teeth, and tightly grasped the incense stick with his palm, ready to pull it out immediately.

"Wait, wait, Mr. Li, wait." Qingmei's voice became intermittent at this time.

"Miss Qingmei has no time, so I can't wait any longer." Li Xiuyuan said.

Qingmei begged: "Just, let the slave family finish the last request, the slave family is afraid that it will be later. I won't be able to say it."

"Xiao, Xiaodie, she is also a poor person. If the slave family is gone, there will be Lord Lao. Young master, take care of her. For example, if the slave family dies, Mr. Li will bury the slave family in Lanruo Temple. I like it here. , this is the place where the slave family and Mr. Li met for the first time."

"Don't worry, I will take care of her, but Miss Qingmei, you have to hold on, you won't die, I will help you pull out this incense right now."

Li Xiuyuan agreed that he didn't want to procrastinate any longer at this time, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the Buddhist incense that had been inserted into his heart immediately.

But as soon as he pulled it out, he saw that the Buddha incense was as long as a palm as deep as his heart, which was so deep that it almost didn't pass through his chest. However, as he pulled out the Buddha incense, he immediately saw When the blood gushed out from the wound, it couldn't stop flowing out, just like a well digger dug underground spring water, no matter how blocked the spring water would still come out from the ground.

Even Li Xiuyuan tried his best to hold down the wound, but it didn't help.

But at this moment, Qingmei didn't seem to feel the pain or the loss of blood, but her face was pale, lying in Li Xiuyuan's arms with a smile on her face, she fell into a deep sleep, as if she couldn't wake up again .

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan burst into tears as a good man, and hugged the cold corpse tightly.

"Amitabha~!"

Under the nearby treasure temple, Master Liaokong, who was meditating, stopped chanting at this moment, opened his eyes slightly, put his palms together and recited a Buddha's name.

"Amitabha." The nearby monks and novices all closed their eyes and said in unison.

The other pilgrims watching did not say a word, with sadness on their faces.

"Miss, miss, you can't die, you can't die, slaves can't live without miss... woohoo." At this time Xiaodie jumped out from the crowd, knelt beside Qingmei's body like a helpless child, burst into tears.

Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth, not knowing what words to use to describe the feeling in his heart at the moment, sadness, anger, and unwillingness were also mixed with a trace of hatred.

Why did Qingmei girl and a good person die here like this? She had suffered all her life, and now she has just escaped from the sea of ​​suffering. Why is God so impatient to take her life away?

"Almsgiver, the old monk doesn't want such a thing to happen, but people cannot be resurrected after death, so let's mourn and make peace."

At this time, it was time to walk up and down, and comforted me.

Li Xiuyuan raised his head at this moment and said: "Doesn't Buddhism pay attention to karma? May I ask Master Qingmei what kind of sin did she commit in her life to end up like this?"

"Amitabha, maybe this girl owed karma in her previous life, and she repaid it in this life. Now that the karma is over, she should be reincarnated again." Master Liao Kong said.

Li Xiuyuan said again: "The past and present lives are too far away, like flowers in a mirror and moon in water, illusory. We and other mortals only live one life, and we should only fight for one life, so I want to know how Miss Qingmei died, and I asked Master Kong to tell me."

Master Liao Kong said, "This old monk doesn't know either. When the old monk came, the incident had already happened."

"Mr. Li, I know. I saw the passage just now. This girl came to the sacred tree to pray for blessings early in the morning. Because of throwing the marriage card, she failed to throw the sacred tree three times, so she wanted to get closer and step on it a little higher. " A woman said, pointing to the protruding tree root on the ground and said: "The girl slipped and fell on the ground, and just landed on an unburned Buddha incense stick. above."

"Yeah, it was an accident, this young master, please give me condolences."

Li Xiuyuan looked at it immediately, and he really saw the traces of footprints sliding down on the protruding tree roots.

"Accident? I don't believe it was an accident. It's clearly a monster that harms people. What kind of tree is it? It's a monster tree." He immediately stood up and said angrily.

"Almsgiver, be careful." A monk persuaded: "This is a sacred tree. It has been here for nearly a thousand years. It is very effective to pray for blessings and disasters on weekdays. It is definitely not a demon tree."

"If it's a sacred tree, why can't you even protect your pilgrims and believers? Since the sacred tree has a spirit, it should appear to save you." Li Xiuyuan shouted: "If there is no spirit, why do you worship or receive incense? When a big tree is cut down, just burn it with a fire, so as to save it and confuse people in the future.”

"Srustling~!"

As soon as Li Xiuyuan's angry words came out, this huge banyan tree moved automatically without wind, and the huge canopy actually shook, and the marriage cards and blessing cards hanging on it fell like a shower.

"The divine tree has manifested, the divine tree has manifested."

"Get down on your knees and apologize to the Divine Tree, otherwise the Divine Tree will definitely be angry."

"God tree bless the little one, the little one didn't disrespect the god tree."

For a moment, all the pilgrims' faces changed drastically, and they all knelt down in fright, kowtowed and bowed.

Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to grab it, and caught a piece of marriage card that fell down. He squeezed it hard, and the wooden card was crushed by him in an instant. He said angrily in his heart: "Now you know the manifestation? What did you do just now, didn't you?" Now you know that you are afraid, afraid that I will cut you down, that’s why you trembled in fright, it’s in vain that you have been here for so many years of incense, enjoying so many years of worship, saving people does not appear, and self-protection only appears.”

"If you don't do anything like this, no matter how much incense and offerings you enjoy, what's the use? Today you killed someone and killed me. Li Xiuyuan's wife and concubine have formed a great karma with me. Can you still gain the Tao because of you? ? You demon tree will surely kill your soul when the millennium catastrophe comes."

After finishing speaking, he roared and left with a fist that hit the trunk of this huge banyan tree with all his body.

"Boom~!"

A thunderbolt suddenly exploded in the sky, as if responding to Li Xiuyuan's words.

For a while, the sky was dark and the wind was strong.

The sudden gust of wind blew the huge crown of the banyan tree, and as the huge and dense canopy swayed, one could vaguely see that the crown of the tree formed an old and huge face. There was a look of fear on this face, as if A helpless old man shouted to the sky.

The power of Li Xiuyuan's angry fist was so powerful that he directly smashed into the banyan tree in front of everyone. When he retracted his fist, he saw blood flow out from the hole he punched.

Scarlet and viscous blood flowed out from the tree trunk, as if a person had been torn open.

The gust of wind was getting stronger, but the sound of thunder continued in the sky.

"Look, the sacred tree is bleeding."

"Mr. Li, please stop, this is a sacred tree, you cannot insult it."

"Quickly kneel down and apologize to the Divine Tree, you can't despise the gods anymore."

The nearby pilgrims knelt and kowtowed while persuading Li Xiuyuan, hoping that he could apologize to the sacred tree and stop saying such things.

Li Xiuyuan was unmoved, but looked coldly at the bleeding wound of the sacred tree: "Sure enough, I got the incense and the demon tree of Taoism, and even the blood flowed out. I'm afraid that even the human body will be cultivated soon. , but today you killed someone, you were unlucky to meet me, Li Xiuyuan, and you must be killed today."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly drank: "Where are my guards from the Li family?"

"Here is the little one." Immediately, three strong guards strode out, respectfully cupping their hands.

"Go get the fire, and burn this demon tree down with one fire today." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, young master."

Immediately, the two guards strode away, and after a while, they brought dry firewood and torches.

"Benefactor, you can't do it, you can't do it, this is a sacred tree that cannot be destroyed." The monks and abbots in Lanruo Temple hurriedly surrounded him, trying to stop Li Xiuyuan's actions.

"Kill people to pay for their lives, owe debts to pay back money, and the sacred tree killed my wife and concubine. Today I will destroy this tree demon. Don't stop it. If you stop it forcibly, it will be like an accomplice. You are all monks. Since you all pay attention to cause and effect, then today This catastrophe for this demon tree is its fate, if you don't retreat, don't blame me, Li Xiuyuan, for being rude to all masters." Li Xiuyuan shouted.

"Even if I risk my life, Mr. Li must not let Mr. Li burn the sacred tree." The host of Lanruo Temple said.
