Acting as a god and Buddha: starting from Guanzi

Chapter 195: Ghosts are everywhere in the wild forest, and evil spirits confuse people’s hearts.

"stop!"

Just as Wei Tian and Captain Hu were fighting fiercely, a loud shout came, and the pressure of Zhenren Yuanying instantly fell and suppressed the two.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a purple crown standing in the sky, his eyes full of indifference.

"what happened?"

"City Lord, this monk's horse kicked the eldest son to death. The old slave tried to capture him but was injured by him." The old housekeeper was the first to complain.

And this purple-crowned man is the Lord of Lantian City, the Purple Gold Marquis of the Dayan Dynasty. He has guarded the border for generations. Although he is not well-known, outside Dayan, the demons and demons are very famous. Kill as many powerful enemies as you can.

Marquis Zijin looked at Meng Yuan and was slightly surprised after noticing his Nascent Soul cultivation level: "Why did this master enter my house to hurt people?"

"The poor monk came here to lead the way, but he just happened to save this young man's life. As for the old man, he was ruthless and was injured by my disciple." Meng Yuan explained as best he could.

Marquis Zijin fell into the courtyard, but he never glanced at his son from beginning to end. Instead, he walked up to the old housekeeper and said with a cold look in his eyes: "Since our ancestors, our Luo family has always been a law of the jungle, the winner is king, but It’s not your turn as a mere slave to do something secretly.”

boom!
With one kick, the old housekeeper instantly turned into a blood mist.

"Master, get the road guide and leave quickly." Zijinhou glanced at Meng Yuan, then picked up a group of teenagers who were not yet awake and headed to the backyard, and the group followed.

Meng Yuan touched his nose. Was he being disliked?

Then he shook his head. As expected, demons are easy to conquer, but people's hearts are hard to break. At this moment, the clerk had already written the road reference document as fast as he could in his life, stamped it with a big seal and sent it out respectfully. He just wanted the monk to leave as soon as possible.

"Haha, it's cool, little brother, let's compete again next time we come back." Captain Hu smiled at Wei Tian.

Wei Tian gave a slight salute and said: "My magical powers and martial arts are for the purpose of protecting the righteous practice, not for fighting for blood and courage."

"Uh"

In the backyard, a deputy general walked up to Zijin Hou and asked strangely: "Master Marquis, are you just going to let them go?"

If he dares to cause trouble in the city lord's palace, even if the monk is right, he will still be punished by military law according to the Marquis's temper. Moreover, the Marquis does not believe in Buddhism. Why are you a vegetarian today?
Zijin Hou said silently: "I can't beat him."

Although the two of them did not take action just now, he has been involved in border crossings for hundreds of years, and his sense of crisis is extremely acute. He could foresee that he would suffer a big loss if he took action, so in full view of the public, he would rather expose this trivial matter.

"Take him down and let the doctor nurse him back to health."

The lieutenant on the side took the young man and walked towards a courtyard. He sighed slightly in his heart and said, "Oh, sir, your temperament is not suitable for being born in this Zijin family. If you escape a disaster today, what will happen tomorrow?"

In a daze, Luo Zha felt as if there was an additional cultivation method in his mind, the wonderful method of purity and purity of the Great Freedom Maha!

The two masters and apprentices who took the road guide here went out of the city. They were only separated by a city, but the two sides gave people a world of difference.

A wild, primitive, and ancient atmosphere seemed to hang over the endless forest ahead, and countless terrifying roars floated in the forest.

Wei Tian's face suddenly became solemn. He felt the endless crisis. He didn't know how many dangers lay ahead, and his body instinctively resisted.

Meng Yuan smiled and said, "Are you scared?"

Wei Tian immediately said seriously: "Disciple, don't be afraid."

"Haha, it's normal to be afraid when facing a crisis. Don't think it's a sign of cowardice. All sentient beings will be afraid, and the same is true for teachers."

"It's just that we can't escape fear. Let's go, Wei Tian, ​​to see the real side of this wilderness."

Meng Yuan sat on the golden-haired horse and took a step forward, heading towards the human restricted area and the danger-filled swamp forest. Wei Tian also patted the horse and followed him.

I don't know whether it was Meng Yuan's bad luck or the monsters here. As soon as they stepped into the wild forest, the master and the disciple encountered danger, or it could be said that a monster came to the door.

The two of them strayed into a strange place. A human face suddenly appeared on the surrounding ancient trees. It was a ferocious face, and it kept cursing the two of them. Wei Tian was so angry that he smashed an ancient tree with a pestle, but But it has no effect. This thing is just attached to these ancient trees.

Meng Yuan paid no attention to it, but walked forward quietly, and walked into a valley unknowingly.

Immediately, an extremely strange scene appeared in front of me. In the center of the valley, I saw a huge tree standing hundreds of feet tall. The bloody trunk and black leaves looked particularly strange. Of course, what was even more eye-catching was that there were pieces of fur hanging on its branches. , there are people, demons, and beasts, and now there is only a piece of skin left.

The ancient tree gradually twisted into an old face, giggling strangely: "It's been a long time since any creature dared to step into the territory of my tree ancestors, and today I can finally eat meat!"

"a ha ha ha--"

Suddenly, the skins around him began to make various kinds of terrifying laughter.

"Hey! You are such an evil beast. You have injured countless people here. Today, I poked out your roots and chopped you up to be used as firewood!" Wei Tian yelled.

"You don't know how to live or die, tree slaves, hang him up for me!"

"Yes."

Then two human skins were seen, one man and one woman, falling off the tree, and quickly swollen into real people. They all rushed towards Wei Tian, ​​and were flattened to the ground by him with a pestle. They immediately mocked: "Old tree spirit, if you can With this little trick, your Grandpa Wei will chop you up and burn you like firewood!"

"Ah! Come on, all those sharp-tongued boys!"

In an instant, countless skin bags fell down and turned into strange creatures to kill Wei Tian. As for Meng Yuan and Jin Maoyan on the side, they restrained their auras and acted like mortals. They were not taken seriously by the tree demon at all, thinking of taking care of Wei Tian first. Deal with him again.

"This tree demon has not yet matured. If it can break away from its original shell and accidentally emerge, it will be a disaster for all living beings." Meng Yuan secretly thought that the current tree demon can only passively wait for creatures to enter its territory. If it can cultivate to the Nascent Soul The level will be a big problem then, and the ordinary Nascent Soul realm may not be its opponent.

Meng Yuan intended to train Wei Tian so he didn't rush to take action. Seeing that he was fighting one against a hundred, he nodded secretly. However, after the tree demon took action himself, he couldn't hold on anymore.

In the valley, branches were waving wantonly, and there were countless roots on the ground that were attacking those human-skin demon puppets. Wei Tian blocked the left and right, and even used the True Scale Armor to avoid defeat. As for Tie the monster rope, there are too many monsters here.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Meng Yuan immediately took out a small white bone tower from his sleeve. This was the heritage of the White Pagoda Temple, a quasi-magical weapon, and a white bone demon refining tower!
He took away the four quasi-divine weapons from the Wanfa Sect, including the Medicine Immortal Flag and the Bone Demon Refining Tower, while the Vientiane Divine Fire Mirror and the Void Soul Locking Chain remained in the temple.

Meng Yuan gently threw the small tower, and there was a loud roar, and it instantly transformed into a giant tower hundreds of feet in size, approaching the tree demon.

"What is this?" The tree demon was shocked.

Wei Tian pulled aside and laughed loudly: "You idiot, have you never seen a magic weapon?"

The dryad immediately wanted to curse, who has never seen a magic weapon?But I’ve never seen one so big!

Boom!

The white tower instantly covered it, and Meng Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed: "Lian!" Suddenly the white tower emitted a burst of white light, and screams suddenly came from the tower.

As a quasi-divine weapon, the biggest feature of the Bone Demon Refining Tower is that it can refine and integrate demons into the tower, continuously strengthening the magic weapon itself. When the ancestors of the White Pagoda Temple created this quasi-divine weapon, they hoped that one day it could be restored. It's a pity that thousands of years have passed and it still hasn't reached the level of a divine weapon.

It still took some time to refine the tree demon, so the master and the apprentice gathered all kinds of skins around them and buried them directly in the tree demon's hole. They recited the Sutra of the Past several times to save the dead.

Early the next morning, the tree demon in the White Tower had been refined and turned into a part of the White Tower, but it left one thing behind.

This is a bronze box. I don’t know what it is made of. Meng Yuan couldn’t open it after trying it?I'm afraid the tree demon got it from the people it killed. I don't know what it is yet.

Meng Yuan put it away, then released Li Xiaoer to lead the way, and then left.

Not long after a few people left, a group of people quietly entered the forest.

The leader said very cautiously: "This is the territory of the peeling tree demon, so be careful. If you find any faces on the trees around you, destroy them immediately."

"Yes!"

After only walking for half an hour, no one noticed any danger at all, and the skinned tree demon who was rumored to be extremely terrifying was not seen either.

"It shouldn't be"

Everyone was a little strange. Logically speaking, there were so many of them who should have alerted the old monster, but at this moment there was no reaction at all.

Until everyone arrived at the valley, they saw nothing but a big tomb on the ground.

"Damn! Could it be that the tree demon ran away?"

"No, look, there's a fire there, someone has been here!"

"Damn it, we finally found out the whereabouts of that thing. Did someone get there first?"

They were doing the same thing as Feng Jincai and his group, they were all treasure hunters. In an ancient tomb, he got a piece of news. It was rumored that tens of thousands of years ago, the gods of the Southern Wilderness had a violent conflict over something. There was a huge battle and countless people died.

That thing looked familiar to him, and he immediately remembered an old friend of his and took it with him, saying it was passed down from his ancestors, but he didn't know what it was for and couldn't open it.

He was very excited and thought about how to get it back from his old friend. Unexpectedly, he found out that he had entered the territory of the skinned dryad in the swamp forest and never came out again.

He then spent a lot of money to recruit several golden elixir masters, and spent most of his wealth to prepare for the search, but he didn't expect that there was only one dirt bag left!
"Fellow Daoist Wu, we will not refund the money we collected." A golden elixir master said, fearing that he would return.

The leader was immediately very angry. Then he looked at the grave in the middle and said, "Dig it out and see if there is anything there. I can't return empty-handed."

This trip was a big loss, so I had to get something back.

Seeing that they were just doing some digging work, which was better than dealing with the tree demon, everyone immediately dug up the new grave without any nonsense, and dug out the skins one by one.

"Hey! This little girl's skin is not bad, isn't it?" Someone picked up a piece of female skin and said with a strange smile.

"This seems to be Li Yanhu's skin, it's quite complete."

Everyone dug out the skins one by one, some were intact, and some were torn to pieces by Wei Tian's stick. When the man surnamed Wu saw this, he simply collected them all and took them back to collect blood.

But no one noticed the inexplicable smiles on these human skin faces.

Originally, Meng Yuan buried them and recited sutras to save them, and the fierce aura was gradually dissipating. However, at this moment, this group of people dug up their graves and collided with the evil aura. At this moment, unknown changes occurred.

"Giggle. Anyone with hair should die."

"Eh? Did you hear anything?" The monk who praised one of the women's skins bought it from the man named Wu. He was proficient in some puppet-making skills and planned to go back to refine a puppet and serve tea. , but suddenly I seemed to hear some sound, something dead
"I never heard it. I guess Fellow Taoist Zheng Yun heard it wrong, right?"

"Yeah, forget it, this trip is really easy!"

The group of people started to return carrying hundreds of human skins on their backs. This swamp forest was more dangerous than the skinned tree demon, so it was best not to stay here longer.

At this moment, Meng Yuan didn't know that as soon as he walked away, someone dug up the grave he built. He and Wei Tian, ​​led by Li Xiaoer, gradually went deep into the swampy forest.

Gradually, swampy lakes appeared.

This place is called Shuizhuanglin naturally because there are countless water lakes, mountains and rivers, and the koi family lives somewhere among them.

"Holy Monk, let's climb over the mountain in front and we'll be there." Li Xiaoer pointed forward and said.

Meng Yuan nodded, he was not in a hurry, he just walked all the way in the forest.

And the road is indeed full of dangers. An inconspicuous boulder turns out to be some kind of strange creature curled up and sleeping soundly. There are also terrifying giant insect monsters, piranha flowers with human faces, and countless... A terrifying giant monster that measures hundreds of feet.
"Huh? Someone?"

In the evening, the two masters and apprentices and Li Xiaoer were on their way up the mountain, when they saw a blaze of fire and dozens of figures under the cliff. Two of them had powerful auras that frightened everyone, making countless demons afraid to approach.

Two real Nascent Souls?

And the other side also found them.

"Are the three fellow Taoists from the Great Yan Dynasty in the south?" the other party asked first.

Meng Yuan responded: "That's right, I have met all of you fellow Taoists."

"It turns out he is a mage. If you don't mind, please come and have a cup of hot tea."

Meng Yuan then led Wei Tian and Li Er forward. There were dozens of figures sitting next to the fire. Among them, several young people in luxurious clothes were sitting in the middle. They were protected by two real Yuanying masters on the left and right, and the rest were dozens of people. Everyone is also dressed as a guard.

Meng Yuan could deduce the approximate origins of these people just by looking at them.

"The poor monk is wonderful, this is my disciple Wei Tian, ​​this is the fish spirit led by the poor monk, I don't know where you are from?" Meng Yuan asked.

The silver-robed old man on the left smiled and said: "I, Qin Wang, are from the Luo Kingdom in the north. These are the princes and daughters of our Majesty. They have always admired the scenery of the sea in Dayan Dynasty, so I traveled here, but I was a little lost. I don't know the master." Can you give me some directions?"

Several princes and princesses were looking at Meng Yuan curiously, and someone on the side handed over fragrant meat cakes to Li Er and Wei Tian.

But unexpectedly, Meng Yuan suddenly sighed: "You can't go to the Great Yan Dynasty, but the poor monk can send you back to Luo Kingdom."
