I saw that in the middle of the trunk, a giant multipedal worm as big as an adult was slowly squirming.

It looks a bit like a centipede. The dense tentacles on its body make people feel terrified. The thorny sounds made by the tentacles rubbing against trees while the squirming makes people feel even more irritated.

It seemed that it also noticed Shi Zi's arrival and was about to escape underground, but the speed was too slow, and it might be because it was too big to move in the tree trunk.

Just as Shi Zi split the outer bark and showed its true shape, its head, which was originally working hard to drill holes, suddenly lifted up.

At that moment, Shi Zi only saw two eyes that were as violent as if they were stuck on its small head, and his figure was reflected in his pupils.

"This look? Is this... an adult demon?"

Shi Zi had thought that someone was secretly manipulating the Gu worm, but he didn't expect that it was the Gu worm itself who became a sperm.

Compared with the two little bugs I caught before, this mother body is really a big deal.

"Hiss..."

At this time, the humanized face of the insect demon also made a threatening expression, just like a cat's hair fur.

Obviously, it sensed the threat in Shi Zi.

Shi Zi smiled coldly and simply replaced the Dao Sword with the Zhuxian Sword.

Of course, it was not the one in the Zhuxian Sword Formation, but Zhang Xiaofan's one.

"Why use a skull to kill a chicken? It's enough to deal with a little demon like you."

laugh!

This insect demon was quite clever and knew that it would be better to start first. When Shi Zi changed his sword, he suddenly rushed out of the tree trunk. He opened his little head and directly attacked Shi Zi with a fishy poisonous gas.

Shi Zi subconsciously lifted up the Taoist robe and blocked it, but saw it suddenly turn around and want to escape.

"Ha, can you escape?"

Shi Zi didn't even chased him, but threw the Zhuxian Sword upwards, then pointed at the direction where the insect demon ran away, and said, "Go!"

After practicing so many sword techniques, how could it be that there is no sword control technique?

Moreover, there is no need for any killing moves to deal with this bug, and just rushed straight in an ordinary way.

The insect was not slow after flying out, but the Zhuxian Sword was faster, and it came first, and directly poked its body into a tree opposite.

However, at this time the insect demon still had some vitality and was still struggling tenaciously, but he could not break free. Instead, his wounds collapsed even more violently, and his blood flowed. He didn't move for a long time and no sound was heard.

And at the same time, a sad sound suddenly sounded from the small trees around the ancient tree.

Shi Zi didn't need to look at it, everyone knew that the larvae hidden inside also died.

Calculate the time, it’s not yet half an hour, so the two insects in the palace are probably going to die.

They are closely related to the mother's body, and they are both damaged.

Shi Zi waved his hand again and moved the Zhuxian Sword back. Looking at the demon blood stained on it, he wiped his hand and disappeared without a trace, and then put it back into the space.

Then he looked at the female insect and the little tree that began to defy as the larvae died, and prepared to start cleaning up the corpses and help the ancient tree heal.

"However, I always feel that something is wrong. Is it too smooth and too natural."

"Is everything really just the work of this insect demon? No one is instructing him behind his back? This is not the world of the Ghost Story of the Chinese Girl, nor is it Cihang Pudu..."

"Is there something hidden in this, something I haven't found?"

Shi Zi couldn't figure it out and thought something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

...

At this time, in a cave, a black lotus the size of a millstone was rotating and emitting a faint light in a hilltop hundreds of miles away from Chang'an City.

After a while, a pair of strangely dressed men and women rushed over here and knelt down on one knee opposite the Black Lotus, looking as if they were waiting for the appointment.

Then the black lotus gradually manifested and turned into a man in black. His head was wrapped around him and his eyes were exposed, hanging in the air.

The man in black stared at the pair of men and women in front of him, and asked, "What happened? Why did my natal insect die?"

His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and the male and female were indistinguishable, but the man and woman were silent. Among them, the man wearing a black hat and a scar on his face said, "There was a Taoist priest who came from whom he called himself a 'wild dog Taoist' and was summoned to the palace by the Emperor of Tang.

"Then he cast a spell to drive away the curse seal we placed on the prince, and he still touched the master's insect. Ying Yao and I were worried that he would notice it and dared not take action, so we could only retreat quietly..."

The woman lowered her head and said, "Please punish me!"

The man in black robe suddenly said, "The Taoist priest has high magic power. If he takes action rashly, it may attract the attention of the Heavenly Court, so the black robe dared to evacuate. If he wants to punish him, he will only be the one in black robe."

The man in black was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said, "Why do you punish you? You did the right thing. If you stay there, or if you take action to protect the insects and trap yourself in it, that would be something that disappoints me.

"Forget it, just a mere worm, let it go. I didn't put my hope here, but just wanted to take the opportunity to destroy Lingshan's plan. Since things cannot be done, then let's stop here."

As he said that, he sighed, "It seems that some immortal family took action. The emperor is the lord of the Tang Dynasty after all. Whether it is Heaven or Lingshan, countless people are paying attention to this place. If this failure is made, then stop and let everyone retreat immediately..."

"But, master..."

The man in black waved, "You just need to continue to accumulate strength and wait for me to return!"

Black Robe and Ying Yao immediately said in unison: "Yes, Master!"

...

"Master, there are Taoist temples who have sent someone outside to invite him. Will he refuse this time?"

Since Shi Zi entered the Tang Dynasty Palace, helped the Tang Dynasty emperor kill demons, and saved a prince, he became famous in this Chang'an City.

Although Shi Zi himself did not mean to promote it, not to mention that there were too many people in the palace, after knowing the matter, some news would naturally be leaked.

Even Li Shimin probably wanted to use this method to keep him.

This is easy to understand. Since Li Shimin could have conferred Xuanzang a common monk as an imperial brother in order to obtain scriptures in the West, then Shi Zi, a Taoist priest who had already shown his skills, was naturally within his recruitment.

On the one hand, it is to cherish talents, and on the other hand, it is to cherish life.

Think about it, if Shi Zi was there when he was tossed by the Dragon King of Jinghe in his dream (?), he wouldn't have to be so troubled. He would have to go to the underworld for one day and would almost never come back.

And Li Shimin's meaning is more than Shi Zi.

So during this period, Shi Zi kept receiving greetings from Chang'an and even from Taoist temples everywhere.

Shi Zi had long expected this, after all, Taoist priests are also humans and must survive in the secular world.

If Shi Zi, a nominal lone Taoist, could win over into his Taoist temple, not only would his strength have increased greatly, but he would also please the emperor if he kept him in the Tang Dynasty.

But they didn't know that Shi Zi was not happy to attract attention like this.

In fact, he has always avoided Taoist temples everywhere in order to avoid these troubles.

But now that he has become famous, these people have come to him, and Shi Zi will not pay attention to them even more in this situation.

As for whether they will offend them because of this, would Shi Zi, a man who has already achieved enlightenment and became an immortal, still care about this?

He only cares about waiting for a month to wait, and then going to Hongfu Temple and Xingjiao Temple to see if he can sign in.
