Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 248
Inside the mansion on the mountain behind Lanruo Temple.

"Mr. Li will come here to have a cup of tea first, and the servants will go to take a bath and change clothes first, and then come back to accompany Mr. Li."

Nie Xiaoqian forced a smile, left Li Xiuyuan in a room, and quickly left with a sway.

Then, two beautiful maidservants came over and brought tea and water.

Li Xiuyuan took a look. These two beautiful maidservants were just two mummified corpses with grim faces exuding a heavy yin energy.

The tea in front of me was just black muddy water, with strange insects beating in it.

"Interesting." He smiled lightly, but he was ready to fight the tree demon.

At this moment, after Nie Xiaoqian left, she was entangled by a tree root before she had gone far, and was dragged into a room.

One door after another opened, as if it were endless, and finally flew a full distance of tens of feet before stopping, and then Nie Xiaoqian fell heavily on the ground.

A middle-aged male and female stood there with a smile on his face: "Xiaoqian, you did a good job, and you did not disappoint grandma. You lured that Li Xiuyuan here."

"This is what I should do." Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly said respectfully.

"Crack~!"

However, the tree demon grandma turned around and slapped her violently, knocking her to the ground: "But Xiaoqian, you have disappointed grandma again. Don't think that grandma doesn't know what you and Li Xiuyuan said. Let Li Xiuyuan know about the trap I set up, and let him come here with you according to his plan, so that you can save me from grandma, and when grandma dies, you will be free and unrestrained, right? "

Nie Xiaoqian was shocked when she heard the words, and trembled all over: "Grandma, grandma, I definitely don't have such thoughts."

"Hey, no, how can you hide it from me with a little thoughtfulness, but I don't expect a little trap to kill this Li Xiuyuan. His ability is not simple, but it doesn't matter, even if he knows that I want to kill him, so what He still came here after all, hey, hey, this Li Xiuyuan is too big, he came to my territory, it may not be the winner."

The dryad's grandmother restrained her violence and let out a series of strange laughter.

She couldn't see Nie Xiaoqian's thoughts, but she didn't point it out, anyway, it's enough to achieve the goal.

"Since grandma knows everything, please let me go, I have already brought Li Xiuyuan and fulfilled my grandma's entrustment." Nie Xiaoqian said with fear and fear.

"You are useless to me. I will give you to the old Heishan demon as a gift today. He just needs a beautiful concubine." The tree demon grandma smiled heavily.

Nie Xiaoqian's face turned pale with fright. Although she didn't know who the Black Mountain Old Demon was, she knew from the name that she was also a thousand-year-old demon. To be his concubine would be bad luck.

"Grandma, Xiaoqian is loyal to you, you should keep Xiaoqian and don't give me to the old demon of Montenegro." Nie Xiaoqian knelt down and begged for mercy.

"The matter has been decided, and you can't go back on your word, get out."

The dryad grandma heard it, and with a wave of her hand, dense tree roots gushed out around her, bound Nie Xiaoqian, and dragged her down.

"There is no need to prepare a gift for me so soon. Li Xiuyuan is not as easy to kill as imagined. Even if we work together, we may not be able to do it."

Suddenly, a hole was opened in the surrounding walls, and a tall, stone statue whose body was condensed from countless broken stones walked in.

"I have fought against Li Xiuyuan before. It is a little tricky, but it is just a little special. His life is extremely expensive, ghosts and gods can't get close to his nine-foot range, and spells seem to have no effect on him, but he is just an ordinary person. You don't necessarily need spells to kill someone sometimes," said the dryad grandma.

The old Heishan demon said: "You only know that ghosts and spirits are not close, but you don't know why he is not close. You have spent thousands of years near Guobei County, and you really don't know anything about it."

"So, you know this Li Xiuyuan very well?" the tree demon grandma asked.

It really doesn't know Li Xiuyuan very well. After all, last year it was still a sacred tree enshrined by people, enjoying incense, so it didn't develop its strength, control ghosts, and understand the news around it. It just stayed peacefully in the temple. Prepare to be immortal.

How did you know that such a big change would happen suddenly.

The black mountain old demon chuckled: "Li Xiuyuan is the son of the Li family in Guobei County. There are nine generations of the Li family. The first five generations have accumulated virtue and done good. He cut off his sons and grandchildren, but suddenly gave birth to a non-existent Li Xiuyuan, and on the day Li Xiuyuan was born, the heavens and the earth changed, the purple air came from the east, and it traveled thirty thousand miles, and all the ghosts and gods in the world were shaken by it."

"It is rumored that a saint came to the world that day."

"This is just gossip. It can't be taken seriously. There are no saints in the world. Even the gods and Buddhas have disappeared for a long time. Otherwise, there is no room for monsters like us in the world." The tree demon grandma said.

The Montenegrin old demon said: "The disappearance of the gods and Buddhas is to avoid the world. It's not that they don't disappear, but it's hard to see. The saint's birth is not a rumor, but a fact. This Li Xiuyuan is the saint who descended that day. He has seven orifices and exquisite He is born with the protection of heaven and earth, and his breath can ward off ghosts and gods, and a drop of blood can kill evil spirits, three feet of Taoism is useless, and ghosts and gods within nine feet are difficult to get close to, and he is the nemesis of all evil spirits in the world."

"Is that scholar really so powerful?"

The dryad's grandma flinched in fright, her eyes widened in astonishment.

"Isn't it powerful, haven't you seen it before? He was going to cut you down that day. If it wasn't for those bald donkeys to save you, you would have been cut down by Li Xiuyuan as an ordinary tree with a thousand years of knowledge."

"Since that's the case, wouldn't we be asking for our own death if we deal with him?" The tree demon's grandmother immediately felt like retreating.

That scholar is the reincarnation of a sage, and to kill him himself would be hitting a stone with an egg.

"Otherwise, although Li Xiuyuan is a saint in the world, he is still a mortal body. Since he is a mortal, he will have a day of birth, old age, sickness and death, and there is also the possibility of accidental death. From ancient times to the present, there are not no human saints who died halfway. You can become a saint only after your merits and virtues are complete, and if your merits are not perfect, you are just a god, not a saint." The black mountain old demon said.

He speaks well, he doesn't look like an old demon, but rather a learned man.

"Since I came to help you, it's not without reason. This Li Xiuyuan is not only the fate of a saint, but also has the heart of Qiqiao Linglong. By the way, do you know this Qiqiao Linglong?" said the old demon of Montenegro.

Grandma Dryad said: "I haven't studied, so I don't know anything about the world."

"I haven't studied, so I seem to be confident." The black mountain old demon smiled lightly, with a hint of ridicule.

The dryad's grandmother was at a loss for words.

The black mountain old demon continued: "Forget it, let me tell you about this exquisite heart with seven apertures. Anyone who has an exquisite heart with seven apertures is like a great medicine. , if you eat Li Xiuyuan's seven-aperture exquisite heart, no matter what kind of monster you are, you will immediately become a fairy and a Buddha."

"Is this true?"

Grandma Dryad's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked excitedly.

"I have specially investigated this Li Xiuyuan, and there is no fake. He just has a seven-aperture exquisite heart. This time I join forces with you because of his seven-aperture exquisite heart." The old demon of Montenegro said.

"Since that's the case, what are you waiting for? I'll dig out his heart. You and I share the food. Li Xiuyuan caused me to lose the foundation of becoming an immortal. Today, I will use his life to make up for it. I will go and fight with him first." He fought, and you come to help me later."

The dryad grandma stretched out her scarlet tongue and licked her lips. Immediately, she couldn't hold back anymore, she turned into a huge tree heart, and burrowed into the ground with a bang, ready to eat Li Xiuyuan's heart and liver.

I didn't want to fight to the death with Li Xiuyuan before, because there was no benefit.

There's a huge benefit here today, and it's worth the risk.

The black mountain old demon stood there motionless, with a mocking look on his lips; "That's fine, let the thousand-year-old tree demon take the lead, and I will cast spells to help you in the dark. If it works, that's the best. If it doesn't, I'll turn around and leave. Go and wait for the next opportunity."

He intentionally leaked the news of Qiqiao Linglongxin to the tree demon, just to lure it into taking the bait.

Sure enough, the dryad was tempted.

But he can hide in the dark and sit back and relax.

He spent more than 1000 years cultivating, and now spending several years, ten years, or even decades murdering Li Xiuyuan is nothing at all.

Now that he has thought clearly, he does not seek immediate success, but seeks security.

At this moment.

Naturally, Li Xiuyuan didn't just sit in that house and wait for Nie Xiaoqian.

He knew that Nie Xiaoqian's departure must have been recruited by the tree demon. If he waited for Nie Xiaoqian to come back, he might not have waited for the female ghost, but it would have been the tree demon's tricks.

He walked out of the so-called room and came to a relatively empty place.

It looks like it's just wandering around, but it's actually waiting for the dryad to arrive.

Now that the trap was set up, and his own prey also appeared, there was no reason why the tree demon hadn't shown up yet.

Suddenly, at this moment.

The vibration on the ground seemed to intensify a lot, and there was a gust of wind blowing around, the trees swayed wildly, and the sky was also shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.

"Sure enough, I can't hold it any longer." Li Xiuyuan secretly said, and became vigilant at the same time.

Since the Dryad waited for his work to let him come here, he must have been prepared, and he couldn't rely on himself.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, the ground exploded, and the thick tree roots rushed out of the ground, and then intertwined with each other in an extremely flexible manner. At this moment, the surrounding walls also immediately exposed their original The tiny tree roots were intertwined, and together with the roots flying out of the ground, they turned into a tall tree wall, blocking Li Xiuyuan's surroundings.

This distance is well controlled, not close to his three zhang distance.

It can be seen that the tree demon still has a bit of memory, and it can gain wisdom through a fall.
