From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 124 Ups and downs

Henry Zhang did not suspect him, and followed Huai Bailiu into this tree hole.

It is said to be a tree hole, but in fact it should be a rock cave, and the hole happened to open next to the root of the old banyan tree.

Huai Bailiu walked in front with the oil lamp on, and Henry Zhang followed closely. This tree hole is very long, and it should pass through the mountain. From time to time in the cave, the roots of the trees on the ground descend vertically. Henry Zhang and Huai Bailiu can only move at the same time. With these roots, while walking forward.

The tree hole was very long and deep, zigzagging forward, Henry Zhang and the pagoda tree walked for a long time, and finally after a sharp turn, the eyes suddenly opened up, and a bright hole appeared in front of them.

The other end of the tree hole is spacious and bright, where you can see towering giant trees. There are not only big trees hugging two people, but also old trees with a width of two or three meters. They stand up like giants.

Henry Zhang followed the trunks of these trees, looked up, and saw that these giant trees had luxuriant branches and leaves, faintly covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Surrounding the giant tree are stone walls covered with moss and ferns. The stone walls are so high that they are estimated to be more than a hundred meters long. When they are closed together, the area is surrounded by an iron barrel. This is actually a tiankeng.

Henry Zhang thought that this is the case, no wonder this place is so humid and there are so many ferns growing.

The so-called tiankeng is a special geological landscape distributed in the karst area, which is formed by the top of the underground karst cave collapsed and exposed to the ground.To put it simply, it is the subsidence of the surface of the underground karst cave, forming a pothole below the surface.

In fact, there is a saying that this tiankeng is in Fengshui. It depends on where it was born. If it is the place where the dragon head is on the top of the dragon vein of the mountain range, it is the land of dragon balls. It integrates Fengshui and breeds dragon balls. During the period, it must be rich in products. Rare and exotic beasts, precious herbs.

If it is born in the middle of the mountain range, as I said just now, it will collapse the mountain and break the veins. If the feng shui is reversed, what will gather will be resentment, evil energy and yin energy. Such a tiankeng will be dangerous.There are hordes of poisonous substances, and the weirdness among them is countless. There are even countless animals and spirits buried in natural corpse pits, full of miasma.

Of course, there are also tiankengs like this one that were neither born in the dragon's head nor cut off the dragon's veins. Such tiankengs are much more common, but because they inherit the earth veins, the yin energy will be slightly heavier.

But I don’t know what kind of tiankeng the old man Huai Bailiu brought Henry Zhang to. This feng shui gathers yin, and it stands to reason that it can’t gather such a large amount of yin. The two of them walked to the center of the pit not long ago, and there was fog , this yin qi turning into fog is not ordinary.

Henry Zhang didn’t ask, since Huai Bailiu hasn’t spoken yet, the problem shouldn’t be a big deal.The two walked for a few more minutes, pushing away the unknown ferns that blocked the road, and five huge ancient trees came into Henry Zhang's eyes.

These five giant trees are not other tree species, but the five shade trees Henry Zhang is looking for, the five shade trees of pine, cypress, locust tree, elm, and juniper.

These five giant trees are tens of meters high, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and each branch twists and turns like a horned dragon.

In Henry Zhang's eyes, each of these trees is full of Yin Qi, and the growth directions of the five Yin trees seem to echo each other and connect the ground veins, so they can attract Yin Qi. No wonder this Tiankeng is so Yin Qi strong.

The five ancient shade trees seemed to have sensed the arrival of the pagoda tree, and the branches moved automatically without wind, clattering as if they were applauding.Huai Bailiu smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the trunk of the locust tree, and said, "Come and get something."

As he spoke, he walked towards the middle of the five five-yin trees, pushed aside the soil layer, and there was a wooden platform made of twisted roots under the soil layer. Look at the roots, they were different, it was the five-yin trees. The roots of the trees are entangled together.

The wooden platform is not big, only more than 50 centimeters wide. There is a small groove in the center of the wooden platform. In the groove are five longan-sized seeds in different styles, which are connected to one of the tree roots.

Henry Zhang secretly claimed to be surprised that this five-yin tree not only formed its own formation, but also knotted the seeds on the roots of the tree and placed them in the center of the formation for cultivation. It is really ingenious, and it looks like someone did it on purpose.

Huai Bailiu took down the five seeds, wrapped them with the bark of the Wuyin wood, and handed them to Henry Zhangdao: "You go back and use this thing to form an array, and you can grow a small tree as tall as a person overnight, and it will grow in seven days." It looks like a ten-year-old tree, and it is better to use it to form a formation than a dead tree heart."

The seeds that have been bred for a hundred years naturally grow fast and well, and more importantly, they are born with a little spirituality.Plants and trees, although there are many in number, are born more difficultly than birds and beasts, and the birth of spiritual wisdom is even rarer. Having such spirituality is already extremely precious.

Henry Zhang put away the five seeds, and thanked: "More senior Huai, worry about it."

The old man Huai Bailiu said with a smile: "Everyone takes what they need, without you, this Qinglin Town will not be peaceful."

He was stroking the old locust tree while talking, his smile was a little more indifferent, like an ordinary old man in An Ran.

The two did not continue chatting, and returned to Qinglin Mountain from the tree hole along the original road. Henry Zhang did not go back to Qinglin Town, but said goodbye to the old man Huaibailiu at the foot of the mountain. It’s not over yet, but it’s not a big problem to have Huai Bailiu, so Henry Zhang plans to say goodbye here.

Henry Zhang said goodbye, Huai Bailiu did not stay, it is already commonplace for people in the rivers and lakes to separate and reunite, so he bowed his hands far away, and sent Henry Zhang down the mountain with his back.

Henry Zhang walked along the mountain road, thinking about the mystery of the pagoda tree and Bailiu all the way. As for the mysterious tiankeng, it should be his handwriting, and he transplanted the five Yin trees that have become fine through secret methods. The tiankeng, no matter how heavy the yin energy is, it will not affect this Qinglin Town, and naturally it will not attract and restrain the souls of the dead.Although this old man is mysterious, but in terms of doing good deeds in this way, he has not lost his reputation.

Not to mention how Henry Zhang left alone, Huai Bailiu went down the mountain and returned to Qinglin Town to change into a robe, and then went to Liu's house to continue presiding over the ritual.This time, because they knew that the black hands behind the scene had been solved, the three members of the Liu family, although sad, were not so desperate. They burned incense and paper in this mourning hall, crying: "Sister (Jingxuan), your Daoist Qiu Zhang and Grandpa Huai (uncle) reported it for you, so you can go at ease."

Looking at this scene, Huai Bailiu also felt a lot of emotion, who would have guessed that the disciple who was a friend back then turned into such a frenzied appearance.

He rang the Sanqing bell, and he recited the scriptures of superseding: "The Supreme Commander, supersede your lonely soul, all ghosts and ghosts, four lives stick to kindness"

The sound of bells and scriptures drifted away with the smoke of incense, and no one noticed that a big black spider with a fluffy palm was looking at everyone on the beam. This spider had a huge belly. , but the head is like a laughing skull.

And in a certain basement, a man seemed to have a sense and showed a smile. He said to himself: "Since the little Taoist priest is gone, it's my turn to do it. You say so."

He asked softly to a woman in front of him, and his slender and delicate hands gently stroked the woman's cheek. This woman was dressed in white, young and beautiful, and her appearance was the same as Liu Jingya.
