Chapter 31: Meet the Old Ghost Again

In the deep darkness, Fang Lin was like a hungry leopard quietly hunting, sneaking through. []

The village was quiet, just like a cemetery, which made people feel cold. In such a situation, the outsiders' steps, even their breathing and heartbeats would be infinitely magnified. Although the government could do nothing about this sacred village, there were always thieves who were not afraid of death. At the end of the year two years ago, there were three "thieves" who bullied the old and weak in the East Village. So they came here during the day to make a move, and they thought they were right, so they sneaked in at night.

As a result, the three people knelt naked on the two old locust trees in the village with dull eyes the next day, and kept knocking their heads until they were bleeding and fainted, and then they notified their family to come and take them away. Then two of the three died, and the remaining one ate and drank whatever was given to him, even the feces and urine abandoned by the naughty children.

A year later, even the families of these three people went crazy. In the end, a total of 37 people wandered on Guankou for half a month and all jumped into the Minjiang River and died. Gradually, rumors spread that it was the result of their disrespect for gods and Buddhas. Since then, no one dared to attack Erlang Zhenjun's disciples.

After knowing this, Fang Lin felt that it was too much. The three thieves were blind and came to ask for death, so they deserved to die. However, they had already paid with their own lives for the theft. If you, Erlang Shen, want to establish your authority, why do you have to sacrifice the innocent lives of the remaining 37 people? Fang Lin is not a person with an overflowing sense of justice, but if he has a better excuse to find fault with others, then he should at least be more justified when he takes action. This is like Iraq's trouble with Kuwait, at least it has to use "searching for pets" as an excuse. It is too unreasonable to say directly that I just like your oil, although I am single, but it seems too unreasonable.

The village was quiet. According to Fang Lin's current ability, he would not be hindered by the dense array formations. However, Fang Lin had to admit that the person who set up the array formation was indeed quite amazing. If he had not encountered himself who was equally powerful in layout and planning, then if it was the same Nine-Turn Maze, at least without external interference or help, it would take at least "days" to break through the array formation.

At this time, in the eyes of outsiders, the straight-line distance between Fang Lin and the two old locust trees was only about 20 meters away, but in Fang Lin's eyes, the two old locust trees were just virtual images. The actual body had to spread along the roots of the locust trees and search down. If he directly touched the body of the locust tree, it would definitely trigger a full backlash of the array formation.

In this place with thick yin energy, Fang Lin's mental detection was also greatly affected, but he could also clearly feel that the roots of the locust tree were not only a place with very strict protection, but also a vital point that could affect the whole body, and it was also the key to lifting the hazy veil that was lingering on this farm!

The Fool's Eye on Fang Lin's forehead slowly opened, and various data flowed into his mind like a sea. Various targeted plans were listed one by one, and he quickly selected the best action plan from them. He quietly rushed forward, and then stood still, just standing nine feet and eight feet in front of the old locust tree, which just coincided with the number of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams of the Innate Yi Numbers. Then Fang Lin silently raised his head to the sky, and the Fool's Eye was slightly bright, gathering the starlight and moonlight in the sky together, and then condensed the yin and soft power of heaven and earth, divided it into two streams and slowly transmitted it to the ground.

Fang Lin's efficiency in absorbing the energy between heaven and earth by using the Fool's Eye at this time is very amazing. It can be said that this is a terrifying level that no monster can reach. Of course, Fang Lin is a reincarnation, not a monster. He himself cannot get any benefit from it, but will be greatly hurt. Moreover, what he seems to be doing is very unwise - he is sending the essence of heaven and earth that he has worked hard to extract to the roots of the two old locust trees in vain.

The protection around the roots of the two old locust trees is quite strict, and they can become the eye of the formation to guard this place. The two old tree roots also have their own basic spiritual awareness. For any possible damage, they not only have strong resistance, but also will warn at the first time.

However, what Fang Lin used to "attack" the tree roots was the pure essence of heaven and earth energy that the old demon locust tree had worked hard to cultivate on weekdays and was eager for! For monsters like the old demon locust tree, which are originally evil spirits, the requirements for the concentration of heaven and earth energy are even higher. At this time, the essence of heaven and earth energy refined and purified by Fang Lin's Fool's Eye is a dream tonic for them, and it is a temptation that cannot be refused!

So the formation did not sound the alarm, and the roots of the old locust tree would not do stupid things such as "strong resistance". The only thing it did was to absorb this good thing that fell from the sky crazily.

However, with the rapid growth of their own cultivation, the essence of heaven and earth energy absorbed by Fang Lin soon became somewhat in short supply. The roots of the two old demon locust trees began to intertwine, trying hard to get more nutrients! Now that there is a cause for the conflict, the conflict naturally occurs - the two demons have greatly increased their power and thus gained the ability to transform and attack, and the old demon Huai begins to attack his opponent crazily. The original selfish instinct will naturally cause tragic injuries to life and death. , and we must realize that the strongest fortresses are attacked from within. Damn it, those extremely sophisticated formations are very sensitive to external damage/changes, but they are completely unable to withstand slight damage from the inside, because the designers of the formations would not have thought that there would be perverts. In less than one stick of incense, it can increase the Taoist practice of two old locust trees by five hundred years!

The two huge demon locust trees that had rapidly expanded in size began to fight crazily. Their branches and leaves were colliding violently, and bright red blood seeped out from the broken bark. In order to maintain the balance of the formation, the two demon locust trees had to fight. When the tree was originally selected, locust saplings with the same size, shape, and age were selected for cultivation, so there would definitely be no winner between the two demon locust trees in a short period of time. This means that they will cause great damage to the surroundings and attract more people's attention.

Fang Lin stood up and walked slowly forward. There was a big hole where the two demon locust trees had grown. Below the cave was a long stone step. The texture of the stone step was quite good. It's weird, as if blood has penetrated into the bluestone, and when you step on it, it feels soft, as if it's a living organism. After turning four forks in the road, Fang Lin stopped. A place he had expected appeared in front of him, the livestock pen. In the wide livestock pen, there are four huge stone mills. These four stone mills are almost like hills, occupying most of the sight of the originally spacious interior.

Two of the four stone mills were slowly rotating. Fang Lin looked at one of the skinny mules and sighed. It is said that only ants in the world can move things ten times more than their own weight. Now I am afraid Plus this poor hapless mule. The one pulling the other stone mill is a cow, a silent and soundless strong water bull.

Fang Lin took out the Bausch & Lomb eye drops - Wangchuan water that Tang Sanzang gave to him. With a light touch on his eyes, he immediately realized that the mule was just an illusion, but the actual core was the old man who had pointed it out. Four rusty iron chains were pierced through his two shoulder blades, and they were already flesh and blood. Fuzzy and fused together with Bai Sensen's bones, his rickety body dragged desperately, step by step, blood mark every step!

And that stone mill is not a stone mill at all! Instead, it was the head of a huge monster, stretching out its long forked tongue to lick the blood on the ground. If the old man's soul slowed down a little, then the forked tongue of this monster's head would be very ruthless. The whippings on his body rolled up the flesh into an extremely terrifying mass.

The silent and strong water bull was not a human being, but a monster with the head of a bull and the body of a human body. His body surface was covered with a layer of faint red light, which seemed to be protecting it. So much so that its movement speed was much slower. When the monster saw Fang Lin, it turned its head at him angrily and roared, full of ferocity.

Fang Lin walked up to the old man and said calmly:

"We meet again. Sir, what's your surname?"

But the old man couldn't say a word. He just stared at the Wangchuan water in his hand, speechless and longing for it. Fang Lin brought the water to his mouth. The old man welcomed it and sighed happily:

"Ashamed, the old man's name is Xu Xiawu. He is Xu Xiake's elder brother. He once traveled with him all over the country, but he contracted scrofula and died on the way back home."

"Oh." Fang Lin said slowly, "No wonder you are so well-informed. I have something to do with you being in this situation. After Sanzang Monk heard about your current situation, he entrusted me to make up for what we had done that day. An unintentional mistake.”

Xu Xiawu gritted his teeth and said:

"Thank you to Master Lin for your generous help. With the Wangchuan water from the holy monk and the blessing of Buddha, I won't have to suffer the endless torture when I am in Lamo. The most hateful thing is that damn ghost Qian Qi. , he was the one who betrayed my conversation to Yang Jian’s men!”

At this time, Fang Lin got a prompt:

"You can choose one of the following tasks."

"a: Kill Qian Qi. (low difficulty)."

"Mission b, kill Qian Qi and Yang Jian's grass-headed sacred tree Seventeen. (Medium difficulty)"

"Task C: Kill Qian Qi, Caotou Shenmu Qi, and Yang Jian's sworn brother Yao Gonglin."

Fang Lin pondered for a while and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He didn't choose the task immediately, but was thoughtful! Then his right hand actually emitted a soft light, and that light made people's thoughts and breathing... all stop!
