Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 247
Regarding the words of ghosts and gods, Li Xiuyuan now maintains a three-point skeptical attitude.

After all, you have already suffered and been fooled, and you cannot continue to make such mistakes.

And through Nie Xiaoqian's words, Li Xiuyuan also knew roughly what the situation was now.

Unexpectedly, not only did the tree demon grandma not evade herself, escaped from Lanruo Temple, but also asked Nie Xiaoqian to seduce herself, lure herself to the back mountain, so that she could set a trap to kill herself, and even joined forces with an old demon named Heishan the big demon.

After a short thought, Li Xiuyuan decided to trust Nie Xiaoqian for the time being.

It's not because of her intercession, but because this is a good opportunity to eliminate the millennium tree demon.

Once this opportunity is missed, who knows when the tree demon will hide next time.

"Nie Xiaoqian, you said that now the tree demon has united with the Black Mountain old demon to deal with me. Well, then I will trust you this time, and hope that this time you can cooperate with me to destroy the thousand-year-old tree demon. Once the tree demon dies, what will happen to you?" I have benefits, if you just use this as an excuse to lie to me to go to the back mountain, then don't blame me for not thinking about the little relationship between you and Xiaomei, and kill you." Li Xiuyuan said .

"No, I dare not."

Nie Xiaoqian trembled all over, and she was even more afraid of Li Xiuyuan in her heart.

This is a person who is not influenced by female sex, and he is not close to ghosts and spirits, even his grandmother is afraid of him, let alone himself.

"Mr. Li, you are willing to help Xiaoqian. Xiaosheng thanked you here in advance." Ning Caichen who was beside him took the initiative to thank him.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's too early to say this now, the tree demon has not been destroyed yet, and there is another Montenegro old demon, no one knows what will happen tonight, just to be on the safe side, you will stay in Lanruo Temple tonight , don’t move around, Yan Chixia, Xia Houwu and I will go to the back mountain for a walk.”

"Xiaosheng understands, understands, and won't cause trouble for you, Mr. Li." Ning Caichen said solemnly.

"Xiaomei, you go back to the county first. Lanruo Temple is not safe tonight. If everything goes well, I will come to the residence tomorrow." Li Xiuyuan said.

Qingmei nodded in response; "It's really not helpful for me to stay here, so I will go back first, that tree demon is not an ordinary monster, husband must be careful."

"I'm sensible, don't worry." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

Only then did Qingmei retreat reluctantly, turning into a gust of dark wind and disappearing into the yard.

"I need to prepare. After an hour, I will go to the back mountain to deal with the tree demon and the old black mountain demon." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Thank you Mr. Li." Nie Xiaoqian said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded, and returned to the meditation room without saying much.

But when he left, Ning Caichen greeted him very warmly: "Xiaoqian~!"

"Li Zhong, how is the situation in the back mountain?" Li Xiuyuan suddenly asked in the empty meditation room.

A gust of dark wind blew up in the room, and turned into a burly man in armor with a long knife hanging from his waist. He cupped his hands and said, "Back to the eldest master, I have sent a few Yin soldiers and a dozen ghost messengers around Lanruo Temple." After looking around, I found that there are no living creatures, ghosts, and ghosts here, and the thousand-year-old tree demon that the young master mentioned should still be entrenched here."

"It's natural for the tree demon to be here. I just want to know what preparations the tree demon in the back mountain has prepared? If it wants to deal with me, it must have prepared some special means, otherwise it can't deal with me simply by relying on Taoism. The Dryad should be very clear about this." Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Zhongdao: "Go back to Eldest Young Master, I heard from other ghost messengers that there used to be a passage leading to the underworld in Lanruo Temple."

"The passage leading to the underworld? Well, it shouldn't be used by the tree demon, is there any other news?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Zhong's ears moved again suddenly, as if he was listening to something, as if someone was reporting news to him.

Only ghosts can hear the sound of eight directions and three miles away, and the Yin soldiers can hear the sound farther away, which is only the ability of ghosts and gods.

"Back to the young master, just now a ghost messenger told the young one that there is an extra luxurious mansion in the direction of the back mountain for no reason, and that mansion should be transformed by the power of spirits and monsters."

"The mansion? It seems that it is a trap set up by the tree demon." Li Xiuyuan thought immediately.

He brought Li Zhong and a group of Yin soldiers and ghosts here, in order to act as eyes and ears and understand all the situation here, so as not to fall into the tricks of this tree demon.

"Is there any other news?" Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan asked again.

Li Zhongdao: "Back to Eldest Young Master, there is no other news for now."

"Go to inquire again, but be careful. You are not the opponent of the millennium monster. If you encounter it, you should retreat immediately. If you have other new news, come back and report to me immediately. By the way, you need to pay attention to the surroundings of Lanruo Temple. Nie Xiaoqian It is said that the tree demon and the old Heishan demon have teamed up, but I wonder if this old Heishan demon will appear in Lanruo Temple." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, little one understands." Li Zhong answered with cupped hands.

"Go back."

A gust of wind blew up, and Li Zhong immediately disappeared into the meditation room, blending into the darkness outside.

Afterwards, Li Xiuyuan went to inform Yan Chixia and Xia Houwu about the incident.

It would be great if there were two more helpers.

An hour passed quickly.

Li Xiuyuan came to the back mountain of Lanruo Temple alone.

There are many trees here, there are piles of graves, and Lanruo Temple, which is not taken care of by anyone, suddenly becomes much more eerie and terrifying.

"Young Master Li really kept his promise and arrived as scheduled."

In the forest, a woman in white came out and saluted Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan said: "This is something I promised, so of course I won't go back on it. You can lead the way. I also want to see what means this thousand-year-old tree demon has prepared to kill me."

"Mr. Li, please be very careful. If you enter the woods on the back mountain, it will be grandma's territory." Nie Xiaoqian reminded.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he looked to the left and right.

Not far from him, not only were Yin soldiers hiding around, but Yan Chixia and Xia Houwu were also following secretly.

As long as there is a situation, it will rush out to support immediately.

Moreover, with Li Xiuyuan's ability, these supports might not be needed, after all, he was already strong enough.

Nie Xiaoqian led the way, and suddenly changed her worried and dignified appearance, and suddenly became frivolous, talking and laughing along the way, making a series of crisp laughter, and kept saying provocative words in her mouth.

"Mr. Li, this way, just go a little further, hehe."

"Come on, don't make the servants wait."

"." Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitched slightly at the back.

This acting skill is really scary, the ability to change face in an instant and change mood is beyond human reach.

But then again.

Nie Xiaoqian has cultivated such a skill, and she is not forced by life.

If he didn't have the ability to shine, he would have been treated as dispensable cannon fodder by the dryad's grandmother, and would have been killed at some point.

"There's Movement Underground"

Suddenly, not long after Li Xiuyuan walked into the back mountain, he felt a slight vibration coming from his feet.

It seemed that a big python was walking under the soil, causing the ground to vibrate slightly.

He is a master of martial arts, his body has already cultivated strength, and he has a very keen perception of every move around him, even a mosquito landing on his body, not to mention the movement from his feet.

"So, this tree demon is hiding underground." Li Xiuyuan immediately realized it in his heart.

Soon, following Nie Xiaoqian, he came to the dense forest in the back mountain.

The trees here are also strange, as if they all disappeared overnight, leaving a huge open space.

And there is a luxurious and exquisite mansion on this open space. Inside the mansion, there are rockery and flowing water, corridors and pavilions. It can be said that even the gardens in Suzhou, Jiangnan are much inferior. To build such a house, in addition to In addition to spending a lot of money, it will take at least ten years to do it.

But this mansion appeared out of thin air within a day.

Looking at the red lanterns hanging everywhere in the mansion, the red light came out, which seemed particularly strange and terrifying in this dark forest.

"What a thousand-year-old monster." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly.

This luxurious mansion looked different in his eyes.

The entire mansion is made of coiled tree roots, the courtyard wall is made of densely packed small tree roots intertwined, the rockery inside is transformed from grave mounds, the flowing water is just a dirty stream in the forest, and the gazebo is just a dead tree. The big trees and the palace buildings are just stones and wooden piles.

It's all fake, all illusions.

"Mr. Li, what are you still standing there for? The servant's mansion has arrived. Come in quickly."

Nie Xiaoqian urged, but saw that her face had shown a bit of fright, as if she had been targeted by the tree demon's grandmother.

Seeing Nie Xiaoqian's expression, Li Xiuyuan knew that he had been secretly watched by the tree demon.

"Hehe, just come, just come."

He smiled, and immediately strode towards the changed mansion of the tree demon.

The tree demon didn't seem to know that besides ghosts and gods, he also had the ability to see through all illusions.

These ordinary changes and tricks are about to be revealed in front of him immediately.

"This scholar has already entered the tree demon's lair, and we are ready to attack at any time."

In the dark, Yan Chixia watched Li Xiuyuan walk into the ghostly mansion from a distance, and immediately said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, as long as there is any movement, I will kill him. He saved my life. Naturally, I will not let him be killed by the monster, but this scholar is really brave. He dared to face the tree demon alone. "Xia Houwu said a little nervously.

After all, he is not a cultivator, and he has no ability to subdue demons and demons, and only relies on the sword in his hand.

"He has the heart to eliminate demons and protect the way, to help the world and save people. Naturally, he is not afraid of evil spirits and dangers. This kind of heart is not something ordinary people can have." Yan Chixia said, and she also admired Li Xiuyuan in her heart.

After all, this tree demon has nothing to do with him, so there is no need to fight to the death with the tree demon.

But Li Xiuyuan's reason for wanting to exterminate the tree demon is very simple. This tree demon has done evil and will harm the world and the people in the future, so he has to get rid of it.
