Lord God: Times have changed

Chapter 350 Yan Chixia

The sword light is awe-inspiring, and there is a sense of righteousness, which can kill evil and subdue demons.

Seeing this, Zhou Ming thought of a possibility, and his eyes lit up.

Immediately with a flick of the fly whisk, countless white threads turned into a long dragon, entangled with that sword light, and immediately made the sword light stop in its tracks and stay in place.

Zhou Ming took a closer look. The long sword was broad and heavy, and seemed to be made of bronze. There were still some rust on the surface, and the blade was not very sharp anymore, but the bitterness in it was not inferior to Zhou Ming's Tianwen Sword.

"Who made the shot?"

Zhou Ming asked loudly.

The next moment, I saw a figure flying in the distance, before it approached, I shouted: "Xuanyuanjian, come back!"

The figure stretched out his hand and pointed, and Kuan Kuai, who was bound by Zhou Ming's whisk, turned around, broke free from the whisk, and returned to the man's hand.

The figure fell in the woods, but it was a strong man with sloppy clothes, a shiny forehead, and a big beard.

He looked very scary, making people wonder if he was a Jiangyang thief somewhere.

It's just that those eyes are full of righteousness, and they are also filled with anger at this moment, exuding murderous intent.

When the five officers and soldiers saw someone trying to stop Zhou Ming, they were overjoyed and wanted to hug their thighs.

But when he saw the appearance of this figure, his heart trembled suddenly, he secretly thought that something was wrong, this bearded man might not be a good person, he didn't come out of the tiger's den, and ran into wolves again!

The five of them immediately huddled together, not to mention hugging their thighs, they didn't even dare to get close to the strong man.

"Why did Fellow Daoist stop me?"

With a wave of his dust whisk, Zhou Ming's whole body was as clean as new. He looked like a banished immortal, forming a stark contrast with the strong man.

The strong man said coldly: "I would like to ask you, what do you want to do, as a practitioner, to lure these five mortals into the forest? Do you want to practice some evil method?"

Zhou Ming was taken aback.

It turned out that the other party regarded him as a monk who practiced evil skills and methods.

Looking back on what I have done, it seems that this is really the case.

A cultivator, dressed in extremely bright clothes, easily lured five mortals to a remote place.

This kind of behavior is indeed very suitable for those evil monks, demons and ghosts.

Zhou Ming immediately smiled and said, "Your Excellency misunderstood, I just wanted to kill them, but I was not easy to do it at the gate of the city before, so I deliberately led them to a remote place."

"Oh?" The strong man was still suspicious.

Zhou Ming immediately released energy, and the energy contaminated with the characteristics of Yi Jin Jing is vast and bright, full of righteousness.

Only then did the strong man nod his head, with a little embarrassment on his face, he clasped his fists and said, "That's my misunderstanding, you can do it yourself."

As he spoke, he turned around.

"do not want!"

The five fell down on the ground behind the strong man, and the boss at the head hugged the strong man's thigh and begged, "Don't go, hero, this evil Taoist is going to kill us."

The strong man's body shook, and he sent the boss flying, and said in a cold voice, "I don't know what you five scumbags are? Die as soon as possible!"

Zhou Ming also shot at the right time, popping up five energy clusters, killing them all directly, and then burst out of flames from the corpses, completely burning the five corpses.

"Your Majesty, Li Feiyu, dare to ask your friend's name?"

The strong man replied: "My name is Yan Chixia, I was sorry just now, I misunderstood you."

Zhou Ming thought to himself, sure enough.

In the vicinity of Guobei County, there is still such a strong man, except for Yan Chixia, I am afraid there is no one else.

Yan Chixia was a court judge when she was young. She was ruthless and hated corrupt officials the most. She handled many major cases and her reputation spread across the 26 provinces in the Kanto and Kansai.

It's just that the current imperial court is really corrupt.

Yan Chixia was powerless to change, but she didn't want to get along with others, so she simply resigned from office and went into seclusion.

But it was also luck. After he returned to hermitage, he got a senior inheritance by mistake, and since then embarked on the road of cultivating Taoism.

After that, he traveled around the world, fighting for justice everywhere, killing demons and eliminating demons.

Recently, he came to Guobei County and lived in Lanruo Temple outside the county.

Lanruo Temple used to be a Buddhist temple. Although it is not famous all over the world, it is also well-known in the local area, and there are even eminent monks living in the temple.

Outside the temple, there is a thousand-year-old tree, which claims to be grandma. It has long been mature, but it is following the orthodox path of practice, so the eminent monks in the temple can tolerate it.

But many years ago, something happened to Lanruo Temple. All the monks in the temple died, and the eminent monk disappeared without a trace.

The entire temple was completely deserted, and occasionally passers-by would stay temporarily in the temple.

The thousand-year-old tree spirit outside the temple also had evil thoughts at this time, catching pedestrians and devouring them to increase their strength. Since then, it has changed from an orthodox spiritual tree to a demon tree that eats people and cultivates.

I don't know how many years have passed in a blink of an eye, because of the frequent deaths, Lanruo Temple has already become a ghost temple, which makes people talk about it.

Naturally, no one dared to visit this kind of ghost temple. In order to ensure her rations continued, the tree demon grandmother began to snare and control female ghosts, letting them seduce passers-by and catch live food.

When Yan Chixia came here, she naturally discovered the situation in Lanruo Temple, and she decided to kill demons and demons.

But this millennium tree demon has profound magic power and terrifying strength. Most importantly, it is a tree with extremely tenacious vitality. Yan Chixia defeated it several times, but could not destroy it.

In order to prevent the tree demon from eating people, he simply lived in Lanruo Temple and fought with the thousand-year-old tree demon every three days.

The tree demon was naturally extremely angry at first, but she couldn't help Yan Chixia, so she had to negotiate with Yan Chixia. She can only eat the person seduced by the female ghost, and Yan Chixia can't stop it.

Yan Chixia reluctantly agreed.

This agreement seemed to be forced to be signed by the two parties in desperation, but in fact, both of them had calculations in their hearts.

Yan Chixia's calculation is relatively simple. The dryad is a plant after all. Even if it lives for a thousand years, its range of activities is limited. It is too far away from Lanruo Temple, and she can't catch anyone if she wants to.

Otherwise, where would you need a female ghost?
Therefore, Yan Chixia can act on her own and prevent others from coming up the mountain. Naturally, there will be no seduction or cannibalism.

From then on, Yan Chixia drove away all pedestrians.

Dryads also have their own calculations.

One word, drag!

It has lived for so many years, and it is not in vain. The great demon king of the underworld, the old demon Heishan, is its backer.

Every year, the tree demon will send offerings to the old demon of Montenegro, and the old demon of Montenegro will also give her some methods of cultivation, or materials from the underworld.

It's just that the underworld and the human world are two worlds after all, and the tree demon can only look for the old black mountain demon on July [-]th, when the gate of ghosts is opened.

The dryad's calculation is very simple.

Just wait until the Hungry Ghost Festival on the [-]th day of the seventh lunar month, find the old demon of Heishan, and help her get rid of Yan Chixia.

It's that simple and rude.

During this time, Yan Chixia lived in Lanruo Temple, but all food and drink expenses were purchased in Guobei County.

He saw all the actions of these officers and soldiers at the gate of the city every day.

It's just that the actions of these people are not worthy of death, and secondly, they have already decided that unless they are monsters, or people who are treacherous and evil, they will not shoot and kill them.

After all, there are too many crimes in this world, and there are countless petty crimes. If he really killed any one he saw, then he would probably not stop killing him from morning to night for several years.

Just let these things go, and only catch the big treacherous and evil people.

That's why he ignored these officers and soldiers.

But if someone wanted to kill them, he certainly wouldn't stop them.

Before, it was only because he mistakenly thought that Zhou Ming was the kind of evil cultivator who wanted to use the blood of living people or something to practice evil methods.

But when Zhou Ming's energy comes out, it is vast and bright, and it is extremely pure, and it is definitely not cultivated by evil methods.

It proved that this was just a misunderstanding, so he ignored the matter and let Zhou Ming do it.

Generally speaking, Yan Chixia is a righteous and principled person, but the world is too cruel, forcing him to constantly adjust his principles.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, I heard your name just now, and it sounds familiar. Could it be that you are the famous judge in the 26 provinces of Kanto and Kansai?"

Yan Chixia laughed, and said: "Whether the judge is not judged, it was all a few years ago. It's old, don't mention it."

Zhou Mingdao: "Even if you don't mention those past events, in recent years, Fellow Daoist Yan has been killing demons and demons everywhere, fighting for justice. Your name is like thunder to my ears!"

Who doesn't love a good word?

Yan Chixia laughed again when she was flattered.

Zhou Ming changed his words and asked, "Fellow Taoist came to Guobei County to get rid of that big monster behind Lanruo Temple?"

Yan Chixia looked serious, sighed, and said: "To be honest, I have been here for a long time. I have also fought against that big monster you mentioned many times. But, It is too powerful, and it has been practiced for thousands of years, and I can't destroy it, so I can only temporarily live in Nalanruo Temple and suppress it."

Zhou Mingdao: "Fellow Daoist Yan has a heart. In fact, I came down here for this thousand-year-old tree demon. Fellow Daoist thinks, with the joint efforts of you and me, can we take down that tree demon?"

Yan Chixia was taken aback when she heard this.

Before, he thought Zhou Ming was an evil cultivator, so he flew out a sword attack from a distance.

Although this sword did not use its full strength, it still had [-]% of its strength.

In the end, Zhou Ming flicked his whisk and easily blocked it.

From this point of view, even if Zhou Ming is not as strong as him, he is not weak.

"Since my friend has this heart, come with me to Lanruo Temple."

Yan Chixia invited.

Zhou Ming naturally nodded.

On the way, Yan Chixia talked about the process of dealing with the tree demon.

"...Actually, with my strength, I can already defeat that tree demon, but this tree demon is really hard to kill..."

Yan Chixia's inheritance is very complete, including offensive and defensive, single-group attack, and even healing and recovery.

The thick bronze sword in his hand is an ancient magic weapon handed down from the Xuanyuan period, and it is full of power. He also has a sword box in which many flying swords are hidden.

In addition, he fought for justice everywhere, slaying demons and demons, and got some treasures.

Although the thousand-year-old tree demon fought back and forth with Yan Chixia, as long as Yan Chixia was willing to pay a small price and explode, he could immediately defeat the thousand-year-old tree demon.

But after defeat, how to kill is indeed a big problem.

The tree demon's vitality is extremely tenacious, and it can also take root in the earth and absorb the power of the earth to recover. The injury just caused can be fully recovered in a few seconds.

Such a tyrannical resilience gave Yan Chixia a headache.

Another point is that the dryad has made many shots, all through wooden vines or manipulating other trees, and has never revealed its own body.

The body is indestructible, no matter how many wooden vines are removed, it is useless.

Yan Chixia decided to live here for a long time because she wanted to spend time finding the real body of the tree demon and destroying it in one fell swoop.

Both of them are practitioners, they are extremely fast, and they have arrived in front of a mountain forest in a short time.

A winding but not quite tortuous mountain road stretches across the mountain. From the mountain road up, you can vaguely see a deserted temple. Other than that, there are trees, endless trees, covering the entire mountain.

This mountain is the territory of the thousand-year-old tree demon's grandmother. Here, countless pedestrians' bones have been buried, and many innocent souls have been hidden.

Even in broad daylight, the whole mountain looks gloomy, making people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Yan Chixia pointed to the forest and said, "Master Dao, the temple on the mountain is Lanruo Temple, and the thousand-year-old tree demon is hidden among the endless trees, and no one knows which one is its real body." .”

Zhou Ming thought for a while and said, "Hero Yan, have you ever studied bamboo?"

Yan Chixia was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why Zhou Ming asked such a question suddenly, but she still said honestly, "Haven't done much research?"

Zhou Mingdao: "A bamboo grows on the ground, its root system is entrenched under the ground, but in spring, it will grow out of the ground, turn into bamboo shoots, and then gradually turn into bamboo. Repeatedly, after decades, a A single bamboo may turn into a bamboo forest. It looks like a dense bamboo forest, but in fact the entire bamboo forest is only grown from the root system of a single bamboo."

Yan Chixia had never heard of such a thing, but he was very smart and immediately understood what Zhou Ming meant.

"The Daoist means that the trees all over the mountain are actually the body of the thousand-year-old tree demon?"

Zhou Ming nodded.

"Ordinary trees don't have the same growth habit as bamboo, but the Millennium Dryad may be able to decide its own growth method."

Yan Chixia couldn't help frowning.

"If this is the case, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to eliminate this tree demon."

This mountain, let's call it Lanruo Mountain, is seven or eight miles across, with ups and downs. Although there is no peak, the area is indeed extremely wide.

And on the mountain, there are trees everywhere. If every tree is developed from the root system of a thousand-year-old dryad, then it is really difficult to solve it.

Don't talk about setting fire to the mountain, the trees derived from the tree demon's root system are not comparable to ordinary trees.

Setting the fire on for three days and three nights would burn some leaves at most. It would be impossible to burn the trunk, let alone the root system that entrenched underground and covered the entire mountain!
Yan Chixia frowned.

Zhou Ming was very calm, and said: "Don't worry, hero Yan, I have already thought of the best way to deal with this millennium tree demon. Don't say that it occupies a mountain and grows into a forest, even if it occupies a mountain range, I will It can still be solved!"

His eyes fell on the trees all over the mountains and plains, and a trace of greed appeared unknowingly.

Looking at this mountain forest is like looking at a delicacy.
