86. Grotto Youdu

The anti-soul tree is a little-known but extremely magical tree.
Awu showed his erudition to Yunsong:
"There is a book in your human race called "Shu Yi Ji". It says that there are soul-returning trees in the caves and secluded areas. Cut the roots and cores in a jade cauldron, boil the juice, and boil it again. The name of the pill is Jingjingxiang. It may be called Zhenling Pill, or it may be called the incense of anti-life, or it may be called the incense of death. If a dead body is on the ground, it will be alive if you smell the breath."
"You human race also have a book called "Ten Continents", which also says that in Juku Youdu, on the ground of Shenwei, there is a big tree, similar to maple, and the fragrant leaves can be smelled for hundreds of miles, and it is called the Soul-Returning Tree. Boil the juice in a jade cauldron until it becomes black and sticky, which is called the incense of rebirth. The aroma can be smelled for hundreds of miles, even if a dead body is lying on the ground, it will be alive if it smells the scent."
Yunsong was shocked.
He noticed the key words in these two paragraphs:
‘The dead body is on the ground, but it smells alive’!
Then contact the name of this tree...
Then Awu said: "But the books written by you humans are all nonsense. You always like to pretend to understand when you don't understand, and pretend you don't understand when you understand!"
Yun Song, who was in shock, realized that he was shocked for nothing. He rolled his eyes and said, "Speak directly if you have something to say, don't show off!"
Ahwu sneered and said: "Humph, please be more polite. I'm afraid not many people in your human race know what I'm going to say."
"The anti-soul tree does not make people return to life after death, but it allows people's souls to return to the human world instead of entering the underworld, but the price is to become a nine-death insect!"
"You definitely don't know what the Nine Death Worms are. You humans regard the Nine as a large number, which by extension means the majority. What about death? It means dead. The Nine Death Worms are talking about small people who died for many reasons. insect!"
"The most famous one is called the Self-Hanging Insect. It is a book written by your human race. It is called "Night Ship". It states that in the sixth year of Gao Guangwu, there were thousands of small insects in Shanyin, all of which were human-like. They would hang on the branches tomorrow. Hang yourself."
"Nine Death Bugs are the general name for these ghost bugs. They live in the Anti-Soul Tree and support the Anti-Soul Tree, while the Anti-Soul Tree keeps them from entering the underworld!"
After listening to his popular science, Yun Song asked: "According to you, this anti-soul tree can preserve a person's soul and turn it into a little insect?"
There are indeed many small beetles in this box.
Ah Wu said: "Yes!"
Yunsong suddenly lost interest: "Then what kind of treasure is this?"
Ah Wu said unhappily:
"Of course it is a treasure. For example, the Nine Death Bug is a very harmful bug. If you put any bug on a person, that person will die in the same way as the bug."
"For example, if you put the hanging insect on Wang Youde, he will hang himself from a branch tomorrow. Isn't it terrible?"
He gave the example casually, but Yun Song suddenly thought of the windlass head that had pestered Wang Youde up the mountain.
If Gou Zhong did not lie, then the windlass head was his substitute.
The question is how did his substitute transform into a windlass head and wrap around Wang Youde?
If you connect it with what Gou Wenwu said on the boat, "There are some very powerful people who want to harm our Gou family", then there may be an answer:
There were indeed people who wanted to persecute the Gou family. Gou Zhong was cunning and prepared a stand-in. However, these people persecuted his stand-in for no apparent reason, and then his stand-in turned into a ghost and haunted the person who killed him...
But is that really the case?
He echoed the warning from the mysterious man that night against the Water Monkey: No one in the old town could believe it!
So he packed up the anti-soul treasure box first and said to Awu: "The situation in this town is very complicated. I'm afraid most of the locals have secrets. This is not a place to stay for a long time!"
Awu said: "I'm sure, you don't even look at where this place is!"
"Where is this place?" Yun Song asked.
He then thought of Ah Wu's vague words and asked again:
"There is another place underground in this place. It is a mysterious place, so this makes the old town extraordinary?"
Ah Wu sighed and said, "You don't have a big brain. I suggest you leave here as soon as possible and send me back to my hometown."
"Are you an onmyoji? Can you stop being so yin and yang all the time?" Yun Song was displeased.
Ah Wu was not happy either: "I've already given you a hint that this box is made of the Anti-Soul Tree - Oh, I shouldn't have underestimated you just now, you didn't know that place..."
"Juku Youdu?" Yun Song immediately thought of the 'tip' he said.
Then he felt that the name was very familiar——
The sentence in the gramophone mentioned a similar name!
So he immediately wound up the gramophone, and the sentence rang again:
"If you can really remember people, it will be of great use in the cave..."
Awu said: "Grotto Youdu? Ha, this name is right. What kind of magic weapon is this? Is there a soul hidden in it?"
Yun Song briefly explained to him the principles and functions of the gramophone, but to his surprise, Ah Wu understood.
He exclaimed:
"You people are so powerful, you can actually make such a magic weapon! No wonder you dare to say that you are the most spiritual person in the world. You really are!"
Yun Song asked: "Whether it's the Grotto Underworld or the Gathering Grotto Underworld, what kind of place is this?"
Awu said:
"Don't go anywhere near it! This is a place of disaster. Believe me, I know too much. For almost two thousand years, everyone who has anything to do with them will not end well!"
He knew that such words would not satisfy Yun Song, so he further introduced:
"Juku Youdu is not here. It is a very magical place. I can't even tell where it is. But every few years it gets very close to this town, and then someone wants to go in."
"I guess the reason why this town is called Old Town is because it is very old. It may have been a settlement formed by those who were the first to enter Juku Youdu and came to the mountains in advance to make preparations. It gradually developed into
A town.”
Then Ah Wu also encouraged him:
"Leave here early. This is a place of right and wrong. Go to my hometown quickly. My hometown is very good. There are no entanglements of right and wrong. It is simply a paradise for your Taoists!"
Yun Song packed up his things and said:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I'm leaving tonight! But before I leave, I need to figure out something. You have to help me. I will confront someone. You can help me judge him then.
Have you told the truth, and then let’s leave!”
"Okay!" Awu nodded.
Later, a maid came to bring tea. He asked the maid to call Wang Youde and expressed his intention to leave.
Wang Youde was shocked:
"This, real person, this is too sudden. Why do you want to leave so suddenly? Is it because we didn't take good care of you?"
Ah Wu's little voice sounded: "Truth."
Yun Song shook his head and said:
"No, you have taken good care of me, but although Liangyuan is good, it is not a home of long-term love. A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse."
Wang Youde asked:
"Then you mean to go back to the Taoist temple on the mountain? Are you ready to deal with Money Eyes?"
Yunsong became impatient and said: "Fusheng Supreme Heavenly Lord, we have to take the trail anyway!"
Wang Youde asked aggrievedly: "But why do you want to leave?"
Yun Song sneered:
"Don't you know why Xiaodao left Xiaodao? Donor Wang? You all have something to hide from Xiaodao. Take you, Donor Wang, for example - the last big boss was killed by you, Donor Wang, right?"
Wang Youde waved his hands repeatedly in horror:
"You don't dare to talk nonsense, you don't dare to talk nonsense! Real person, how can you have the courage to harm others? How can you have the ability to harm others?"
Ah Wu suddenly said: "Lies."
Yun Song then laughed.
He changed the subject and asked: "Gou Dahu has a substitute, do you know this?"
Wang Youde said:
"Of course I know this, but I just found out a few days ago that Gou Wenwu admitted it a few days ago. Before that, our whole town didn't know that Gou Zhong had a stand-in!"
"Didn't Gou Wenwu also get a stand-in? Their family is really good at playing."
"Did you kill Gou Zhong's substitute?" Yun Song asked coldly.
Wang Youde yelled: "Master, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep talking nonsense tonight? This is definitely impossible..."
Ah woo: "The truth."
This surprised Yun Song.
He said:
"Forget it if you don't admit it."
"Since coming to the town, Xiaodao has thought that he has been sincere and honest, but I didn't expect that your town would treat Xiaodao like a clown - then forget it, Xiaodao is leaving."
Wang Youde wanted to retain him.
Yunsong took his things and called the big elephant to close the door and leave.
Seeing this, Wang Youde became anxious. He wanted to chase him out, but Yun Song pushed him into the house and locked him from the outside:
"It's been so many years, so let's say goodbye. Donor Wang, we may never see each other again. I hope we never meet again!"
The big elephant carried the baggage on its back, and the two quickly blended into the night.
Wang Youde opened the window and looked around, and finally saw the two people opening the door and leaving their mansion.
He stood blankly in front of the window.
Finally he shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"After all, it was Nen who was obviously close to the truth, but he gave up the pursuit after being pushed for a few words."
“This Yunsong is so famous that it’s hard to live up to it!”
He pondered for a moment and then shook his head:
"You can't say that. After he came down from the mountain, he kept pretending to be crazy and acting stupid with me. I also pretended to be crazy and followed him. Logically speaking, I monitored him almost the whole time. So how did he know these things?"
After saying this, he stood in front of the window and fell into deep thought for a long time.
After a while, he was about to call the housekeeper to open the door for him, but saw the door being knocked open and Yun Song's figure reappeared.
He immediately chuckled: "It turns out that playing hard to get is childish."
Yun Song went upstairs, locked the door and closed the window, and then asked: "Donor Wang, do you have anything else to say to Xiaodao?"
Wang Youde's fat face showed a helpless smile again: "Master, I really don't understand what you mean."
"lie."
Yun Song whistled.
The tablecloth was lifted, and Linghu Yun came out and nodded to him.
Wang Youde's heart skipped a beat, but he was still confused: Why did he leave this harpoon in the house?
When Yun Song saw Linghu Yun nodding, he felt confident.
He bent down under the table and took out the gramophone, then smiled at Wang Youde.
Wang Youde's expression changed.
He has an international department store business, so he naturally knows this thing!
What made him unbelievable was how could Yunsong, whom he had been staring at, have something like this that even he couldn't buy!
What made him even more unbelievable was that the fat man unexpectedly touched his side and peed on his feet!
Chapter completed!
