I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 119 The underworld of the locust tree
"What about the one called Tiezhu?"

"Just let him stay in the house. The house is protected by talismans, so there is no need to worry about his safety."

After asking and answering questions, the two slowly walked out of the small courtyard.Compared with the gloomy rain when we came out, it is drizzling now inside the Qian family's old house.And this rain seems a little different. Even if you use magic to block the rain, your clothes will still get wet.

"This is called spiritual rain, which is full of pure yin power." Yan Gongli stretched out his hand to catch the rain and looked at Jiang Wen and said.

"There seems to be something terrible hidden in the Qian family's old house."

"Mr. Qian is very ambitious. He seems to think he can control us." Jiang Wen felt more angry inside when he thought about the pair of embroidered shoes.

Such a terrifying thing is just to satisfy the desires of my heart.Could it be that the adopted daughter whom I have raised for more than ten years really has no emotion at all.

"You look very angry." Yan Gongli said with a blink.She picked up a strand of her hair, twisted it around in her hands and played with it slowly. "There are many people like him. Don't be angry if you encounter him again."

"I think the person who did this should be punished." Jiang Wen frowned.

"What if it's not just him?"

"Then one is in charge of the other. No matter how many people do this, I don't think it's right." Jiang Wen snorted coldly.

"But can you really take care of the affairs of the world? Didn't you hear that the emperor is planning to select women to enter the palace? Don't you think those selected women are pitiful? Although they will not lose their lives, their situation is worse than this How much better?" Yan Gongli said. "If you want to take control, you can take control of the emperor."

"If you have the opportunity, I would also like to take care of it." Jiang Wen stood in front of the eaves and asked, looking at the giant tree in the distance. "If you are unwilling to take action when you encounter something that you feel is wrong, then what is the purpose of this practice? Is it for immortality or for your own desires?"

"Practice is for immortality, and that's how people in the world are." Yan Gongli said with a smile. "I can't tell that you, a little Taoist priest, still have the heart to eliminate demons and defend the Tao."

"Because there are always some people who have to do some human things, otherwise the world would be so bleak." Jiang Wen sighed as he led Yan Gongli out of the courtyard.

The Qian family's old house is very big, with three people entering the house from left to right.You need to ride a horse back and forth to deliver the message quickly.If you rely solely on foot power, an ordinary person may not be able to walk from east to west for half an hour.

The Qian family is worthy of being the number one wealthy businessman in Qingfeng County, ranking high in the entire Yangzhou.

Walking around the house, Yan Gongli told Jiang Wen that the things hidden by the Qian family were under that tree.As for why you spend money to hire people to exorcise ghosts, maybe it is not necessary for people to exorcise ghosts, but it is possible to raise ghosts.

"I have heard of a secret technique. It is said that as long as the most yin things are refined into the most yang things, the method of turning yin into yang can be realized. This kind of magic is extremely vicious and requires the assistance of luck from a very wealthy family. . If you sacrifice your family's luck, you can finally get the treasure of the Supreme Sun. This treasure can cut off your luck, cut off your fortune, and even deflect the dragon's veins." Yan Gongli started to popularize science thoughtfully.

"If I guessed correctly, someone used Qian Jiayun Dao as a sacrifice to refine these supreme Yang treasures."

"Can there be such a treasure?" Jiang Wen asked in surprise.

"Of course, but if you want to refine this treasure, you must be willing to give up your family's destiny. Once the Zhiyang Object is completed, the family will be destroyed and no descendants will be able to survive. Not many people in the world are willing to do such a vicious technique."

"So what do the Qian family want?" Jiang Wen didn't understand.

"Probably only Mr. Qian knows that." Yan Gongli said nonchalantly.

Not long after, the two came under the big tree, and from a distance they could see the towering tree trunk like the Tower of Babel.Under the huge tree roots, the woman in red and a monk were standing in front of the tree.

"Are they here too?" Jiang Wen was surprised.But thinking about what the two people said, it was clear that they were coming for this big tree.

"Amitabha, the donor is polite." The monk said with a friendly smile.

"You also spied on this Sophora japonica? But don't expect me to be merciful." Hong Luan said coldly, playing with a machete. "I have been searching for this Sophora monaster for ten years just to wait for today."

"Sophora japonica is a rare treasure in the world. Naturally, everyone wants to get it. Whether you can get it or not depends on your ability." Yan Gongli put his hand on Jiang Wen's shoulder and said with a smile.

"That's right, everyone depends on their ability." The monk also said the same.

"Then let each of you live or die depends on your own abilities." Hong Luan said, turning around and walking towards the trunk along the roots of the tree.Before Jiang Wen could figure out what she wanted to do, she saw Hongluan disappear under the tree.

"This is..." Jiang Wen was a little surprised.

"I'm afraid this Sophora japonica tree is 9000 years old and has already become the underworld of its own. If you want to find the Sophora japonica spirit, of course you have to look inside the tree." After Yan Gongli finished speaking, the monk beside him laughed loudly, and then He also walked into the tree like the red luan.

"Let's go in quickly."

Hearing Yan Gongli's words, Jiang Wen nodded.He looked at the tree trunk and flew towards it.

The world changed instantly, and when Jiang Wen came to his senses, he was already standing in a thatched house.

Hong Luan and the monk happened to be here as well, both looking outside the room with puzzled expressions.

I saw heavy fog outside the house, making it difficult to see things in the distance.

But you can see the lush vegetation on the ground, and they seem to be growing well.

"Is this the realm of the underworld of the locust tree?" Hong Luan said to herself as she flipped through the things in the house.

"The young monk is also the first to see the underworld of the locust tree." The monk smiled.

A few people were about to say something when they saw dark clouds rising outside, and the strong wind dispersed the thick fog. Standing in front of the house, they could see the darkness devouring the earth in the distance, like thousands of dark war horses, moving along the long road. The flow is coming.

"The weather is changing so fast. It's going to rain soon. Be careful, the rain may be quite heavy." Yan Gongli smelled the wet smell in the air, hugged Jiang Wen's waist and looked outside the house and whispered softly .

The strong wind roared across the ground.The trees in front of the house were bent visibly to the naked eye, and their crowns rustled in the wind, making people worried that their roots would break in the next moment.The water on the ground was blown up by the strong wind, like exploding water waves spreading across the sky and the earth. The house was swaying in the wind and looked almost collapsed.

The strong wind started so suddenly that several people marveled at the power of nature.

Jiang Wen looked at the movement outside the door, and when he heard Yan Gongli's words, his face showed a solemn expression: "The wind is blowing strangely. Is this the underworld among the locust trees? Why do I feel something is wrong?"

"There is evil energy!" Hong Luan said cautiously, looking at the outside of the house as if something was approaching.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wen and Monk looked at the door warily.Several people were in a strange place and no longer dared to take it lightly.

"It's very close and very fast. It's coming this way. It's coming soon. Get ready!" Hong Luan raised her hand against the ground. Even though the rain was pouring outside at the moment, she could still distinguish some things. Strange sounds.Those messy footsteps rushed towards the house quickly, like a group of wild beasts snatching food. "Coming!" "Uh-huh!!"

"Bangdang-!"

The door was suddenly opened by Hong Luan, and the strong wind that poured in through the gap instantly swept through the entire house.Dense raindrops were blowing on the body along with the wind, soaking the dry items in the house.

What followed the wind and rain was something that was extremely frightening. They were countless corpses with brown and black faces and exposed fangs.Their eyes glowed red with embers, the muscles on their bodies exploded, and a mark was cut from the middle of their faces. They were like walking corpses, rushing towards everyone in the room irrationally.

"Let's go!" Jiang Wen shouted, using his flying sword to slice away several corpses.He hugged Yan Gongli and flew out of the house.Hong Luan, on the other hand, waved the long knife in his hand and screamed in the wind. The transparent blade cut through the shower rain, and like silver light falling on the blade, he waved a white light and cut off the corpses who came forward.

Several people jumped out of the narrow window like civet cats. The monk took the bamboo hat in the house, put it on his head and fled outside.

The heavy rain was swaying wildly, like a giant curtain covering the sky, pouring onto the earth in waves.

"What are those things? How did we provoke them?" Jiang Wenwang looked at Hongluan and asked.

Hong Luan wiped the rain off his face, looked at the house behind him angrily and said, "I didn't know that this happened just after I came in. It's really unlucky. Let's find a place to take shelter first."

The crowd of corpses was like a black wave, boundless.Even the heavy rain cannot hide their presence.I don’t know if it’s something unique to the underworld, or if they’ve fallen into a trap by mistake.

The group of corpses were chasing after them, and several people were running very fast.

Jiang Wen was flying with his sword, and the monk was sitting on his cassock.The Hong Luan was even more stunning, the two swords spinning like fire wheels, spinning around like fire under their feet.

It just depends on how they fly, the heavy rain is still there, the thick fog is still there, and there is no end in sight.

"These monsters run so fast." Jiang Wen turned around to observe the following corpses and said angrily.If he hadn't withdrawn quickly just now, he might have been buried alive by a group of corpses.

"This thing doesn't seem to be an ordinary corpse. When I cut them off just now, I couldn't see them die." Hong Luan recalled.

"So we just let them chase us like this?" Jiang Wen asked puzzledly.

"Let's see if there is any cover ahead." Hong Luan glanced at him and said.

Several people quickly passed through the rain curtain, and large splashes of water were stirred up in the muddy yellow puddles.Before the water splash landed, they flew dozens of feet away.After a while, countless corpses on their hands and feet swarmed in, like mangy dogs that couldn't be shaken off, giving a few people a headache.

"There is a waterfall ahead, we can go to it." Through the woods, the roaring sound reached everyone's ears from a distance.Looking through the heavy rain, I saw a waterfall dozens of feet high.

Several people were overjoyed and flew towards the waterfall.

Endless corpses came like waves, and their hoarse throats sounded like hunting dogs.

They pushed each other and crashed into the huge current pouring down the waterfall, and were smashed apart by the majestic force before they could get close.Then they struggled together and rushed towards the waterfall.

The few people who had escaped calmed their breathing and looked at the situation below. Black corpses continued to gather at the foot of the mountain from a distance.Fortunately, they are not smart and don't know how to take detours to climb mountains. It is still safe to stay at this waterfall for the time being.Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"The situation in the underworld is complicated. It might not be easy for us to act alone." Hong Luan squeezed the rain off his body and said slowly after looking around at a few people.

"You're right, the young monk has the same idea as Miss Hongluan." The monk smiled and looked at Jiang Wen and the two after he finished speaking.

Jiang Wen wiped sparks from his fingertips to dry the clothes. He looked at the corpse man below and said, "This corpse man has a strong evil spirit. I'm afraid it is unique to the underworld. The number seems to be quite a lot, and it is indeed not suitable to act alone. . But we all want to find Sophora japonica, what if we find Sophora japonica?"

"When the time comes, my subordinates will see the true chapter." Hong Luan said with a shrug. "I, a disciple of the Wanshi Sect, can take it and let it go. If I lose then, this Sophora Essence will be at your disposal."

"The young monk thinks so too." The monk smiled.

"Excuse me for a moment. I think we may be in a little trouble." Yan Gongli, who was leaning on Jiang Wen, whispered.

Several people looked back at the depths of the cave. Countless pairs of light blue eyes were fluorescent in the darkness. They gradually approached Jiang Wen and others, revealing their brown-black skin.

"It seems we have a lot of troubles." Jiang Wen sighed.

"Trouble." Hong Luan picked up the two knives and looked at what came out of the cave. They were countless giant toads covered with pimples.

"This is the Poison Soul Frog. It is said that the poison in its body is enough to make people faint. Even if the Minghuo cultivator is stained with the poison, it will be uncomfortable." Yan Gongli said.

After everyone heard this, they slowly retreated towards the entrance of the cave.Countless toads poured out from the depths of the cave, layer upon layer like a slope of flesh, looking at them with bulging bellies.

"Don't provoke them, otherwise it will be very troublesome." Jiang Wen blocked his sword in front of him. He had seen swarms of toads, but he had never seen toads coming out in large numbers.

It's just a cave, but I didn't expect to break into someone else's lair.If so many toads were swallowed in one bite, no one present would be able to escape.There are corpses in front of people and frogs in the back. Good fortune and misfortunes never come alone. I'm afraid I didn't have a good divination when I came out.

"These poisonous soul frogs shouldn't attack people casually, right?"

Hong Luan held the two knives tightly, her palms wet with sweat.He watched the toad's every move nervously.Leaning behind Jiang Wen, he said softly: "If they jump over later, we will jump down."

There is a deep pool below the cave. Even if you jump from a height of tens of feet, you will not be injured.

Even if there are countless corpses watching eagerly, it is hundreds of times better than being poisoned to death in this cave.These frogs are not vegetarian animals. They have teeth in their mouths and can eat meat as well as ferocious beasts.

"Ah-"

The poisonous soul frogs shouted in unison, and then neatly made way for a passage, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.

Jiang Wen and others looked into the dark cave. The dust under their feet trembled slightly, as if being crushed by a huge creature, and fragments of gravel fell from the top of the cave from time to time.

What a pair of huge eyes they were, like a large washbasin, placed in the darkness like two bright moons.When it actually appeared in front of everyone, even Yan Gongli was a little surprised.

A huge poisonous soul frog. Compared with it, the group of poisonous soul frogs that are huge in the eyes of ordinary people are like candlelight compared to the scorching sun. They appear extraordinarily small and cute.
