I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 250 Ghost Car
The garden, which was originally sunny and full of vitality, was full of evil spirits at the moment, and the hidden blood seeped from the tree trunks, subtly affecting the two people in the garden, trying to arouse the violence and insidiousness in their hearts.

Gu Yao frowned, pulled out the robbery sword, and gently stabbed the tangled knot at the root of the tree with the sword. The extremely sharp robbery sword pierced it, as if piercing into the extremely soft tofu, without any hindrance feeling.

After stabbing more than half of the sword, he didn't feel his head. Gu Yao thought for a while, drew his sword and withdrew, only to see that the small gap healed immediately without leaving a trace.

Gu Yao turned to look at Jing Yin: "Master, what can you see?"

Jing Yin shook her head: "This is the first time I see such a magic tree, I can't figure it out."

Hearing what she said, Gu Yao thought for a while, then randomly summoned a flame and hit it on the tree, only to see that the flame had just climbed onto the tree, and before it could glow and heat, a lot of blood gushed out from the tree. Put out the flames.

After the flames were extinguished, the blood was naturally absorbed by the tree without any change.

"It's really a weird and evil tree. I'm even more curious now, how did this tree grow so big."

Gu Yao swung his sword and slashed at the tree trunk fiercely, leaving a deep gash on the tree trunk. This time, it seemed as if he had cut a major artery, and large streams of blood sprayed out.

Gu Yao and Jing Yin backed away, avoiding the bloody water, and watched the bloody water splashed on the ground.

Not long after, drops of green sap oozed from the bark, sealing the gap, and the bark began to wriggle again, filling the wound again.

Jing Yin's brows were already frowned: "The leaves of this tree seem to have turned yellow a lot. Your sword just now hurt its vital energy."

Not only the leaves, but also the infiltrating fruits, which became thinner and shriveled.

Gu Yao looked at the ground, the blood was still on the ground just now, but in this short moment, it was absorbed by the soil a lot, and the black mud tended to turn into red soil.

He raised his sword again, ready to cut down the tree completely with one sword.

At this moment, the tree felt the crisis of life and death, and suddenly came back to life. The tree body twisted, and blood mist spewed out frantically, covering the tree body.

Gu Yao hastily slashed down with his sword, gathering Qi into a blade, and the sharp sword Qi split into the blood mist, as if pouring water into a boiling oil pan, and the blood mist exploded at once.

After being stimulated, the spewing speed of the blood mist accelerated a lot. The tree trunk shrouded in the blood mist twisted violently, and the back was faintly visible. The black figure behind the scarlet was like a ghost. The magic tree seems to be in winter, and it ages rapidly, the leaves die and disappear, and the fruits wither and fall.

Gu Yao and Jingyin were forced to retreat by the blood mist that continued to spew out, and they each performed some spells, but found that the blood mist, like the red ant, could assimilate and absorb energy and spells, turning into own energy.

Seeing that the blood mist was getting more and more pervasive, and the surrounding weeds and wild flowers withered into ashes immediately after being enveloped, Gu Yao looked at the room behind him, looked around the yard, and jumped up.

The person was in midair, the silver light was already on, Gu Yao slapped the ground, and a steady stream of celestial master qi gushed out, forming a circle under his full control, covering the blood mist inside.

"Fortunately, the Golden Light Curse has not fallen."

Gathering the celestial master's energy into an upside-down bowl in this yard, and covering it with blood mist, Gu Yao was not relaxed, and took a little effort, but he was also relieved.

Jing Yin thought for a while, lit an inch of glazed fire, and turned her wrist. Before Gu Yao could see what happened, the glazed fire disappeared between her fingers and appeared in the blood mist.

With a scoff, the blood mist surged, like a volcano about to erupt.

But Jing Yin's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said: "Sure enough, the blood mist and the red ant can't resist the qi that contains Tao."

Worried that Gu Yao would not understand, she explained by the way: "Although I don't know the origin of your silver qi, I can feel that it is somewhat similar to my glazed fire in essence, and it contains special power."

"My glazed fire is produced by my practice in the ghost world. I use my cultivation in the world as a firewood to purify the power of the ghost world and then replenish myself. If I can prove the fruit status, this glazed fire will Fire is my fruit position."

"And your silver qi also has the same meaning."

The glazed fire radiated brilliance in the bowl transformed by the silver energy, and the seven-color light had already begun to pierce the blood color gradually.

But the ground suddenly shook again. Gu Yao and the two got up their spirits, and when they were carefully observing the ground, a bloody light suddenly shot out of the air and hit Gu Yao.

Although Gu Yao was protected by the Golden Light Curse, his whole body was still thrown into the study, and the bowl transformed by the silver energy also quietly dissipated.

The blood mist that was about to be purified by the glazed fire was also saved, avoiding the flames like a spirit, and quickly poured into the decayed and emaciated magic tree.

Jing Yin was furious, and punched the blood shadow that was attacking it, making a thumping sound like beating a drum.

The blood shadow was blown to the ground, revealing its true appearance, which made Jing Yin feel disgusted and angry.

This thing actually looks the same as the disgusting big maggot in the red coffin, except that it has an extra pair of bloody moth wings.

A thunder shot out from the study and passed by her. Gu Yao appeared at the window and shouted loudly: "Master, do it!"

Jing Yin raised his palm back and slapped it, and a big glass handprint was taken, and it hit the big maggot thumping hard on the ground.

Lei Guang also stabbed in, and Gu Yao sprang out from the study again: "Master, continue to burn that tree with glazed fire. This thing is here to protect that tree."

Before he finished speaking, a tree vine suddenly protruded from the ground, piercing the dying maggot.

In Gu Yao's horrified eyes, the moth quickly shriveled and turned into a slough like a cicada, but the tree re-exuded vitality, and it became much thicker from a detailed sapling.

This change made Gu Yao and Jing Yin's shots faster.

A thunderbolt sword energy and seven-colored palm prints struck, but a cocoon entwined with tree roots emerged from the ground, like a large shield, blocking the attack.

The sword energy and handprints hit it, not completely in vain, leaving a big gap, and a crisp cry came from inside.

Immediately afterwards, the earth trembled, and there were countless creaking sounds from all directions. From the soil, the house, the roots of the walls, holes in the ground, windows, and cracks in the door, black mice rushed out like a wanton ocean, fearless of death. They rushed forward, opening their mouths to show sharp teeth, trying to bite off the flesh and blood of Gu Yao and Jing Yin.

In the sky, the color suddenly faded, and countless birds flew from all directions, flapping and grabbing downwards.

Gu Yao drew a circle with his sword against the ground, and the soil touched by the tip of the sword was endowed with spirits and turned into thunder, rising from the ground and turning into a barrier, blocking the two people in the circle.

There were only countless puffing sounds, and countless mice and birds died on the wall transformed by earth and thunder.

"Master, I will try my best to kill these things later, and you go and destroy that tree."

Gu Yao held the sword, his body was full of silver light, which gradually gathered in his eyes: "Earth Thunder - Ben Lei."

The technique was formed for a moment, the original mud wall spread and galloped like a breath of soil, and turned into an overwhelming dragon in a moment, and then poured out endless heavy thunder in the next breath, and the mud dots flew into the sky like the sky and the earth toppled , filled the sky.

The black torrent swallowed everything, the noisy sound disappeared, and it became dead silent.

All life that was touched by the mud, whether it is a mouse or a bird, instantly turned into a statue, merged into the mud flow, cleared the field from the inside out, and gathered into a black dragon at the last moment, and the thunder sounded , when everything was dissolved, it poured down again, overwhelming the magic tree.

The thunder and lightning spread wantonly, carrying the weight of the earth. The tree was bent and pierced by the thunder and lightning.

The endless mud and thunder poured down, and returned to the ground under Gu Yao's feet. Gu Yao formed a seal again, and the earth came alive again. The dark chains popped out of the soil, locked the weird little tree, and immediately solidified.

Mute a little between her eyebrows, and the nine-color glazed fire rose in her eyes, forming a crystal clear glazed fire lotus.

The fire lotus ignited from her eyes and was reflected in reality, enveloping the entire sapling and a large piece of underground land.

Seeing this, Jing Yin weakened a little: "It's ok."

Gu Yao also dissipated the spell, and countless thunder and lightning overflowed from the soil, rushing into the fire lotus one after another, causing the fire lotus to sway.

The bursting sound of howling ghosts and howling wolves sounded, and the blood color rose in the lotus, forming countless baby faces, which died in the gorgeous flames.

Watching the tree disappear little by little in the glazed fire lotus, and finally completely annihilated, Gu Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.

"This tree is really too weird. I suppress it with earth and thunder, and I can feel that it can break free at any time. I really don't know what it is."

Jing Yin clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and recited the scriptures silently, and waited until the glazed fire lotus also dissipated in the air before saying: "The fire lotus just now was created by myself, and I forced it into it, purified it with the glazed fire, and I can vaguely feel it. There is still a connection with the outside world, but this connection feels quite strange, maybe the things it is connected to are the same as it, extremely secretive."

Gu Yao nodded: "This tree is indeed very secretive. If I hadn't smelled a trace of blood, I'm afraid I would have walked in front of it, and I wouldn't know it was such a murderous thing."

Thinking of the baby face formed by the rising blood energy when it was finally purified, Gu Yao can roughly determine what the tree was fed with.

"It's just that I still don't know what the relationship between the maggot monster and this tree is, and whether the winged creature is controlled by this tree or by the escaped Lord Wang."

Just as Jing Yin was about to say something, she suddenly closed her mouth, took a few steps forward, squatted down, and stretched out her hands to dig in the soil.

Gu Yao didn't know, and was about to ask something when he walked over, but saw Jing Yin dug out a small skull from the soil.

This size, either a baby, or a monkey.

Gu Yao closed his mouth, lowered his face, and squatted aside to plan.

Not long after, nearly thirty small bones were dug out, and a big hole was dug in the courtyard.

"There may be more below."

Gu Yao stopped, suppressing his anger.

The courtyard is now a purgatory on earth. Behind them, there are small bones, and there are countless hidden in the big pit in front of them.

"There are so many Jing Yesi in this place, are you a fool? You don't know that there are so many babies missing."

Gu Yao gritted his teeth.

Jing Yin sighed, sorted out another skeleton, and put it on the open space aside: "Don't blame them, this thing is too secretive. I couldn't detect it when it was a tree before. Those local officials have weak cultivation bases. , Even if you walk here hundreds of times, you can’t find anything, even if you find that the baby is in trouble, you can’t find the source.”

Gu Yao took a deep breath: "Master, I'll go to Jingye Division to transfer people, let them come here to clean up, and see if I can find their parents by the way."

Jing Yin squatted down again: "Okay."

Gu Yao not only brought officials from Jingye Division, but also brought a large number of arrests from the county government.

Jing Yin jumped out of the pit: "About 110 or two skeletons, I have dug them all out, there should be no omissions, but just in case, let's confirm one or two."

Gu Yao nodded, and yelled at the stunned and unbelievable group of people: "Why are you still in a daze, hurry up and check the records, and find out which babies have disappeared or suddenly fell ill over the years!"

This group of people acted cleverly, yelled in a hurry, and dispersed in twos and threes to do things.

This busy, is a night.

It wasn't until the early morning of the second day, in the brightly lit Jingye Division, that the local seventh-rank governor, Lou Guanqiu, frowned and said, "These children are not from our Huhe City."

"What?" Gu Yao, who had been leaning against the pillar at the door watching the moon, jumped up.

Lou Guanqiu nodded helplessly: "Yes, the problem is serious now. According to our records, there is nothing strange except for the village you mentioned before. Even that village is just a slippery tire, and there are no babies. A matter of being born or being robbed and stolen."

"According to my autopsy, the babies in this pit are all between one and three years old. This is definitely not from our city. It must have been committed outside the city. It was sent to us to do it, which is why we have been hiding it for so long. "

Gu Yao said: "Then is there any clue?"

Lou Guanqiu shook his head: "It has been reported, and now the state has begun to investigate, and the same is true for the surrounding areas."

Then he suddenly showed a trace of hesitation: "However, we found something that may be a clue, but we can't be sure."

"Oh?"

Lou Guanqiu said: "The escaped Wang Yigan ran away alone, without his wife and concubine. We found a ghost car tattoo on his favorite concubine."

"Ghost car tattoo? The ghost car that was rumored to have stolen the baby?"

Lou Guanqiu nodded: "Yes, but that's not a clue. The real clue is that the little concubine couldn't remember when she had this tattoo. After our investigation, we found that her memory had been altered. We followed it up and found out. I also checked his other relatives, and it turned out that without exception, their memories were all false."

"Fortunately, we found that the technique of modifying memory is relatively rough. It is only sealed to cover up, not erased."

"Now I have applied for the assistance of Jing Yuan, who can browse through memories. When he comes, I should be able to know the truth of the matter, or a part of the truth."

Gu Yao stood up straight: "Okay, take me there now."

"Ah? Are you going to search for the soul?" Lou Guanqiu was at a loss. He also asked Gu Yao's identity to the higher-ups. He probably knew that this man was an amazing genius in talisman and golden light spells. He might be the pillar of the Great Zhou in the future. .

"Searching for souls will cause serious problems with their spirits, ranging from memory confusion to becoming lunatics, to severe loss of consciousness and becoming living dead, sir, think twice, just wait for two days"

Gu Yao stretched out his hand and swiped, leaving a blue arc of light in the air, which made Lou Guanqiu stunned: "Shangqingming soul art was taught to me by Master Mingxi sent by Shangqing. That Jingyuan should not be as good as me."
