Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 89 Entering Montenegro, Fighting the Tree Demon Grandma

Hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but sighed, and then gave Ning Caichen a look: "Okay, Mr. Ning, you can go now."

"Why are you in a hurry? It's already here, why don't we sisters accompany Mr. Ning well. Don't worry, little sister Xiaolan, my sister has a sense of proportion..."

Ning Caichen turned around and ran away.

It's fun to deal with one, but it's courting death when you play two together.

Xiaosheng is still young, wait for Xiaosheng to practice kung fu well before he can compete with the girl.

"Hmph, I thought how capable..."

In the wing room, there was Xiaodie's cold snort of unwillingness.

After running out of the temple, Ning Caichen breathed a sigh of relief, stopped and looked around.

"go!"

Zhou Yu suddenly appeared, without saying much, he dragged Ning Caichen straight down the mountain.

When we came to the main road, we just asked, "Have you found out?"

Ning Caichen nodded: "Xiaolan said that the tree demon once again broke through the realm, so it needs a lot of supplements.

And Xiaolan also said that the roots of the dryad have begun to break through the Black Mountain and extend to the surrounding area.

He also said that those demon hunters died because of the roots of the tree demon..."

After listening, Zhou Yu's face became more dignified.

In the past, the range of activities of the Dryad was limited to Montenegro, so it was relatively safe as long as they did not enter Montenegro.

But now, the old hag has expanded the scope of her activities, and the academy is in danger.

After all, the academy is not far from Montenegro, once the roots of the old hag stretched over silently, it would be a big trouble.

"Okay, go back and talk."

Zhou Yu hurried back to the county with Ning Caichen.

Back home, they called Bai Min'er to the study overnight to discuss how to deal with the tree demon.

Mo Chou also came out of the painting, and upon hearing Zhou Yu's words, she couldn't help but look worried: "My lord, that tree demon has a thousand-year-old virtue. You must not act rashly and put yourself in danger."

Bai Miner said: "Mochou, I agree with Ziling's opinion.

The old demon has just broken through the realm and has not yet stabilized, so it is an excellent opportunity to make a move at this time.

Otherwise, when its realm stabilizes, it will be even more difficult to deal with..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhou Yu and said, "If not, I'll go back to the teacher's door for help, and ask the master to come and help eliminate the demon."

"Min'er, don't alarm your master."

"But that tree demon has thousands of years of practice, even if I join forces with my junior sister, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to deal with."

Zhou Yu smiled: "Who said it's just you two? Isn't there me? Ying Ning can also help."

Hearing this, Mo Chou couldn't help saying: "If you really want to do something, I can help, and then you can just bring the scroll with you."

In the end, Zhou Yu shook his head: "Mochou, if I really want to do it, I will do it in the daytime, and that will greatly weaken the old demon's strength."

Mo Chou looked disappointed: "Then...then I can't help you with anything?"

After all, she is not yet able to appear during the day.

Zhou Yu grabbed Mo Chou's hand and comforted him, "Hehe, it's okay, you can just stay at home and wait for the good news."

"The young master must be careful... Min'er, you should be careful too."

"En!" Bai Min'er nodded, and then asked Zhou Yu, "Have you already thought of a countermeasure?"

"That's right! That old demon has been cultivating in a gloomy and humid environment all year round. He likes the yin and fears the yang, so we can use this to deal with it..."

Next, the three of you began to discuss countermeasures with each other.

They kept discussing until dawn, and finally agreed to do it three days later.

Firstly, Zhou Yu needed some time to prepare, and secondly, he had observed the sky, and the weather would be fine in three days, which would be a good time to make a move.

After the discussion, Zhou Yu drew another sketch, marked the dimensions and requirements, and then called Butler Wu.

"Master Hou..."

"You take this sketch to the craftsman, and it must be completed within two days. It doesn't matter if you spend more money."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

After a lot of intensive preparations, at noon that day, the war finally kicked off.

Zhou Yu, Bai Min'er, Caiyi, Liao Zhen, and Ying Ning came to Heishan and walked around to the mass grave behind Lanruo Temple.

This place is sandwiched by mountain peaks, without sunshine all year round, dark and humid, and filled with fog.

In the meantime, there are jagged rocks and overgrown weeds, and there is even a towering tree growing close to the mountain wall, whose roots, large and small, extend to an unknown distance.

Liao Zhen raised his head and glanced at the giant tree with a frightened look. It was as thick as a house and so tall that it couldn't reach the top. It was so gloomy that it gave people an invisible pressure.

"What are you grabbing my sleeve for? Are you still a man?"

Caiyi glanced at Liao Zhen sullenly and shouted.

Liao Zhen had a pitiful look: "I...I am...I haven't awakened my power..."

The two already knew each other's identities, not just as simple as an unmarried couple.

Before, Bai Min'er and his teacher kept concealing Caiyi, only saying that she was an orphan, and did not reveal that she was born as a seven-star witch.

This time Caiyi came to Guobei County, Zhou Yu thought over and over again, and advised Bai Miner to be honest.

It just so happened that Liao Zhen was also there, so it's better to clarify the future dragon veins face to face, so as to avoid some uncontrollable things from happening in the future.

After Zhou Yu's empathy and understanding, Bai Min'er finally figured it out, so she called Liao Zhen and her junior sister, and explained in detail what happened 500 years ago in person.

After listening, Liao Zhen was dumbfounded, while Caiyi cried and made a fuss, apparently unable to accept the fact that she was actually a witch.

After Zhou Yu and Bai Min'er persuaded each other with warm words and explained the solution, Caiyi's mood gradually stabilized.

In fact, the solution couldn't be simpler, as long as she and Liao Zhen enter the bridal chamber...

From then on, the demon nature will disappear automatically, and everyone will be happy to become a real disciple of cultivating immortals.

Caiyi's side has been calmed down, but Liao Zhen feels very disappointed... because he doesn't know how to awaken the power of his previous life.

This is why Zhou Yu deliberately brought Liao Zhen to Montenegro.

In fact, Liao Zhen was born with a magical power: golden light for body protection.

It's just that this kind of body protection golden light will only be triggered automatically when he is attacked by evil spirits, so Liao Zhen has never known that he has such a talent.

A person's potential often explodes in danger and desperation.

This is Zhou Yu's purpose. He wants Liao Zhen to experience the fight with the tree demon himself, maybe this guy's power will automatically awaken.

"This tree is the body of that old demon."

Walking to the edge of the mass grave, Zhou Yu glanced at the giant tree and said softly.

"It's so powerful..." Ying Ning seemed a little scared.

After all, Ying Ning is also a goblin, an old goblin who has practiced for a thousand years, indeed there is an invisible pressure on her.

Mo Chou lightly patted Ying Ning's shoulder to comfort her: "Ying Ning, don't be afraid, aren't we still here?"

"Uh-huh!"

Ying Ning took a long breath, straightened her chest, and squeezed her fists, as if to cheer herself up.

"Everyone, remember what I said, be careful of the tricks of this old demon, especially the roots and tongue..."

Although Zhou Yu was well-prepared for this trip, he still gave Bai Miner and the others a serious warning.

"Oh, I see."

"Okay, let's get started."

"let me!"

Caiyi volunteered and immediately raised her palm to cast spells continuously:
"Huhuhu..."

A stream of flames flew towards the thick trunk.

"Boom boom boom..."

With a bang, the trunk began to smoke and catch fire.

But before Caiyi had time to cheer, gusts of cold mist suddenly emerged from the tree trunk, dousing the fire.

Seeing this, Bai Min'er also started to wave his palms, shooting balls of fire continuously.

"I'm here to help you."

Zhou Yu had been prepared for a long time, carrying a bucket of tung oil to the tree and pouring it on the trunk.

As soon as the tung oil saw the fire, the flames blazed immediately, thick smoke billowed, and it was about to jump up...

"boom!"

At this time, there was a bang in the field, and a large cloud of black smoke spewed out from the ground, instantly extinguishing the fire.

Immediately afterwards, a man, not a man, not a woman, a humanoid monster in a strange costume appeared out of thin air.

The old witch finally couldn't hold back and showed up.

"Damn it, you guys actually want to destroy Grandma Ben's body, Grandma Ben will crush you to ashes!"

"Lawless!"

With a loud shout, the old hag opened her mouth, and a tongue flew towards her like a spirit snake, and it became bigger and bigger, as if to engulf several people in her stomach at the same time.

This trick is a common trick used by the old hag.

Its tongue can be big or small, long or short, thick or thin, and it can split countless.

The attack methods are also diverse: it can strangle people to death like a giant python, stab people to death with barbs, or split twigs from the mouth and nose into the abdomen to suck people into mummified corpses.

Of course, this old demon has practiced for thousands of years, and his skills are more than that, and he has many moves.

"The old demon is going crazy!"

Caiyi swung his sword and slashed repeatedly.

Of course Zhou Yu was not idle, and used the Nine Styles of Majesty to fight against it.

At the same time, Bai Min'er made a formula and recited the mantra: "Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, the root of ten thousand qi. Cultivate extensively for billions of kalpas, and prove my supernatural powers. Inside and outside the Three Realms, only Tao is the only one. There is golden light in my body, covering my body..."

Together with the spell, a golden light appeared, forming a shield.

"Everyone, go to the golden light range."

"retreat!"

Zhou Yu swung his sword and retreated into the golden light shield.

Caiyi and Yingning also moved quickly, entering the golden mask one after the other.

Liao Zhen was so frightened that his legs were weak, he ran a step slower, and was caught by the old hag's tongue...

"Liao Zhen!"

Caiyi was taken aback, and was about to swing her sword to rescue her.

Unexpectedly...

"Zi!"

The old demon's tongue touched Liao Zhen's body, and it smoked like it was touched by red-hot iron.

"Chuck!"

The tongue retracted instantly, and at the same time, the old hag let out a cry of pain.

The funny thing is, Liao Zhen didn't even know that his golden light was working, and as soon as the pressure was relieved, he rushed to the golden mask...

Ying Ning saw it clearly, and asked in surprise, "What magic weapon is he wearing?"

Zhou Yu smiled: "It's not a magic weapon, it's his innate golden light to protect his body."

"Ah? I really have a golden light for body protection?"

Liao Zhen asked stupidly.

In fact, I have already told him before, but this guy has not awakened the memory of his previous life, so it is difficult to accept it for a while.

"That's right, I saw it too." Caiyi nodded: "The old demon's tongue was smoking just now, didn't you pay attention?"

"Oh, yes, yes, hahaha, that's great, I didn't expect that I really have supernatural powers."

Liao Zhen laughed happily...
