Baishixian Road

Chapter 34 Tree Demon
Wei Sanniang's life is very bitter.

This is what she said.

"Men are not good things."

Speaking of sad, Wei Sanniang cried and cried, and Xu Mo, who was disturbed by the crying, felt a pain in his head.

"Sanniang, don't cry, but the man you mentioned is indeed not a thing. As the saying goes, a gentleman is hard to follow. How can you not count on what you promise?"

Xu Mo expressed his views on this matter.

Obviously, the scholar who deceived Wei Sanniang's feelings was wrong.

"If you don't love me, don't hurt her. If you cheat her of her body and money, she just lifts her pants and leaves. This kind of person deserves to be killed!" Xu Mo's words reached Wei Sanniang's heart.

For so many years, no one has ever talked to her about these concerns, mainly because she didn't want to talk about it either.

Facing Xu Mo now, isn't this forced, he can only talk.

After she really confided her thoughts, she realized that it was so cool, and how happy it was to have someone understand her, sympathize with her, and agree with her.

"But 20 years have passed. If the scholar was still alive back then, he would be 50 or [-] years old now."

After Xu Mo finished speaking, he saw hatred in Wei Sanniang's eyes.

"No matter how long it has been, 20 years, 40 years, even the past 100 years, my hatred and resentment will never disappear."

"Understood, I will help you with this matter."

"Oh? Young master, how are you going to help me?"

"Take me to find that heartless man, and then kill him."

"Okay, okay, but..."

"But what?"

"The slave family is trapped here now, and they cannot escape."

"Is it that demon tree?"

"Hush, sir, keep your voice down!"

Hearing the word 'Demon Tree', Wei Sanniang showed obvious fear. She thought for a while, then lowered her voice and said, "My lord, don't wade into this muddy water, and leave quickly. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Xu Mo didn't care about it: "It has nothing to do with you, it's a grievance between me and that demon tree, damn it, it's bullying me, I'm going to uproot it."

Apparently, Xu Mo still held grudges when he was besieged by ghosts last time.

"My lord is a cultivator?" Wei Sanniang's eyes flashed.

"It is." Xu Mo nodded.

"But even immortal cultivators are no match for Mr. Huai, and there are far more than a few immortal cultivators he ingests. Young master is no match, let's go."

"San Niang, if you play tricks again, I will kill you first."

"My lord knows everything." Wei Sanniang saw that aggressive tactics were useless, and let others see it, so she had to give up.

Xu Mo has his own plan.

He didn't care about Wei Sanniang's intentions. The other party just wanted to provoke him and lead him to fight with the demon tree, so that she could escape.

But just like what Xu Mo said, even if she wasn't aggressive, Xu Mo had already planned to have a knock against that demon tree.

The first step is to know yourself and your enemy.

"Everything about the demon tree, what do you know and what to say, don't miss anything."

Xu Mo stared at Wei Sanniang and asked.

Trust is not something that can be achieved overnight, but requires accumulation and precipitation.

Just like Xu Mo's conversation with Wei Sanniang, no matter how happy the conversation is, he should be careful not to be sloppy at all.

"Let's say it first, if you fool me, you are fooling yourself. Don't blame me when your soul is gone."

Xu Mo spoke harshly, his voice and demeanor were just right, and he was not easy to mess with at first sight.

Wei Sanniang's heart trembled, she didn't dare to hide it, she let it out like peas.

"The heartbroken man left and never came back. My family was depressed and went to the mountains to play, but was killed by Mr. Huai..."

Following Wei Sanniang's narration, a strange thing about Gua Longshan slowly surfaced.

"Mr. Huai said that it became enlightened in the autumn of 130 years ago. At that time, it was just an ordinary tree. As soon as an eminent monk was traveling here, he suddenly encountered wind and rain, so he sat in meditation under the tree and recited scriptures. As a result, the wind and rain became stronger. , Lightning flashed and thunder thundered, a bolt of lightning struck it violently, the tree was scorched and the monk died in an instant, but from this, Mr. Huai officially enlightened..."

"Stop for a moment." Xu Mo raised his hand and asked, "Who told you this story?"

"Mr. Huai said it himself. Therefore, it claims to be a Buddhist disciple."

"What does this have to do with Buddhist disciples?"

"Mr. Huai said that it was his master who realized the ultimate truth of Buddhism, so he attracted the lightning strike and became a Buddha on the spot. And it has great merits and virtues by helping the master to become a Buddha, so it is naturally a Buddhist disciple."

"I'll go, this demon tree will put gold on its own face."

Xu Mo smiled.

He knew that, like mountain spirits, ghosts and ghosts, they all have their own way of practice. The first point is to prove their own way and show the legitimacy of their practice.

The most important piece of evidence is the 'name'.

Mountain ghosts pay more attention to this.

Just like Xuan Shanjun.

This guy took the surname "Xuan", which means profound and mysterious, and the tiger is the king of mountain beasts, and his full name is Xuanshan Jun.

Xu Mo felt that this name was quite satisfactory, but Gua Longshan was even more shameless than Xuan Shanjun.Not only did he give himself a name, but he also made up his origin.

Of course, it is also possible that what the other party said is true.

Xu Mo's heart skipped a beat suddenly.

If this is true, then this 'Mr. Huai' is probably even fiercer than Xuanshan Jun.

Buddhist orthodox?

And it is Tianlei enlightenment.

I go!

It was a little scary, Xu Mo wanted to back down.

Seeing the expression on Xu Mo's face, Wei Sanniang felt uneasy. She was indeed telling the truth, but she was afraid that the other party would be afraid and retreat. Then she would never have a bright future and would always be controlled.

Looking at it now, the other party seemed to be afraid.

At that moment, Wei Sanniang sighed.

"Hey, that's not right." Xu Mo muttered suddenly: "I'm afraid of a ball. If Mr. Huai is really an orthodox Buddhist disciple, it's a good thing. I've been busy, but I just want to find the real way of cultivating immortals. is not it?"

As for Buddha, or Tao, Xu Mo doesn't pay attention.

He seems to have heard that the Buddha is the Tao, and the Tao is the Buddha, both are similar, the same ball!

Thinking of the happy place, Xu Mo let out a weird smile, and Wei Sanniang couldn't help but take two steps back, wondering why this guy felt scarier than Mr. Huai.

"It's just right." Xu Mo rubbed his hands.

He began to think about how to have a formal meeting with Mr. Huai, but the other party was a bit impatient, like Mr. Xuanshan, who killed people without saying a word, and this style didn't look like a Buddhist disciple.

Shouldn't Buddhist disciples be kind to others and save all sentient beings?
Regardless of these details, Xu Mo narrowed his eyes and decided to make double preparations.

The so-called courtesy first and soldiers later.

Xu Mo knew how to deal with these mountain spirits and ghosts, and he had to show some face. Since the other party regarded himself as a Buddhist disciple, he had to follow this path and pay a formal visit, honoring him as 'Master'.

Or, build another temple for the other party?

Hey.

This is a good idea!

As the saying goes, people fight for one breath and the Buddha receives one stick of incense. If this Buddhist disciple has no temple to live in, what kind of Buddhist disciple is he called?

It's just to spend some money, we have it now.

This is enough to save face. Of course, if this Mr. Huai doesn't know good from bad, then Xu Mo will not be polite, but Xu Mo has to think about how to be rude.

"Sanniang, you have been stuck here for 20 years, you must know Mr. Huai's weakness, so I don't ask too much, just tell me ten."

Xu Mo looked at Wei Sanniang.

The latter was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt aggrieved as bitter water flowed backwards.

"I don't know."

"If you don't tell me, are you losing face?" Xu Mo narrowed his eyes, trying to squeeze out a fierce look.

"There are really not ten." Wei Sanniang felt that the one in front of her was more fierce than Mr. Huai.

"If there are a few, let's talk about a few first, and I'll listen."

"Okay!" Wei Sanniang thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Huai likes the flesh and blood of living people, so it will let me out occasionally, and catch people back for him to suck."

Xu Mo thought of the many ghosts controlled by the locust tree, presumably they were all those who died in these years.

"Is this a weakness?" Xu Mo asked the essence of this matter.

"When he is not eating people, Mr. Huai will fall into a deep sleep, and sometimes he will not wake up for several months."

"Understood, so it is asleep now?"

"No, I'm awake."

Xu Mo began to gear up, Wei Sanniang saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I know that there is a secret in Mr. Huai's body, and the bones of that eminent monk are in its body. Mr. Huai once told us, Do not probe or get close, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."

"You?" Xu Mo asked, how many souls like you are controlled by Mr. Huai.

Wei Sanniang said: "If there is no one hundred, there will be eighty!"

Good guy!
No wonder I couldn't fight last time, the opponent didn't talk about martial arts and fought in groups, and it would be a ghost if I could fight.

Xu Mo asked if there were any other weaknesses.

"Not anymore, maybe there is, but I really don't know." Wei Sanniang looked very pitiful.

Xu Mo slapped his thigh: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the oppressed soul is my brother and sister. They must be rescued. In this way, Sanniang, come here and do as I tell you. Remember, we are one A grasshopper on a rope, if it wins, it will be popular and delicious, but if it loses, it will die without a place to die, and no one can escape."
