Regarding the words of ghosts and gods, Li Xiuyuan now maintains a skeptical attitude.
After all, we have already suffered losses and been deceived before, and we cannot continue to make such mistakes.
And through Nie Xiaoqian's words, Li Xiuyuan also knew roughly what the situation was like now.
Unexpectedly, the tree demon grandma not only did not hide from me and escaped from Lanruo Temple, but also asked Nie Xiaoqian to seduce her and lure her into the back mountain so that she could lay a trap to kill her. She also joined forces with an old demon named Heishan.
The great demon.
After a short period of thinking, Li Xiuyuan decided to trust Nie Xiaoqian for the time being.
Not because of her plea, but because this is a good opportunity to eliminate this thousand-year-old tree demon.
Once this opportunity is missed, who knows when the tree demon will hide next time.
"Nie Xiaoqian, you said that now the tree demon has united with the old black mountain demon to deal with me. Well, then I will believe you this time. I hope you can cooperate with me to destroy the thousand-year-old tree demon. Once the tree demon dies, I will treat you
I have benefits. If you just used this as an excuse to trick me into going to the back mountain, then don’t blame me for not thinking about the little affection between you and Xiaomei and killing you." Li Xiuyuan said.
.
"No, I don't dare."
Nie Xiaoqian trembled all over, feeling even more afraid of Li Xiuyuan.
This is a man who is not swayed by women, and he is not close to ghosts and ghosts. Even his grandma is afraid of him, let alone himself.
"Master Li, if you are willing to help Xiaoqian, Xiaosheng would like to thank you in advance." Ning Caichen, who was standing next to him, took the initiative to thank him.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It's too early to say this now. The tree demon hasn't been exterminated yet, and there's another old Black Mountain demon. No one knows what will happen tonight. To be on the safe side, you stay in Lanruo Temple tonight."
, stop walking around, Yan Chixia and Xia Houwu and I will go for a walk in the back mountain."
"Xiaosheng understands, understands, and will not cause any trouble to Mr. Li." Ning Caichen said swornly.
"Xiaomei, you go back to the county first. It is not safe in Lanruo Temple tonight. If everything goes well, I will be at your house tomorrow." Li Xiuyuan said.
Qingmei nodded and said, "I can't really help you if I stay here, so I'll go back first. That tree demon is not an ordinary monster. Husband, you must be careful."
"I'm sensible, don't worry." Li Xiuyuan nodded.
Only then did Qingmei reluctantly retreat, turning into a dark wind and disappearing into the yard.
"I need to prepare. In an hour, I will go to the back mountain to deal with the tree demon and the old black mountain demon." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Nie Xiaoqian said.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and returned to the meditation room without saying much.
As soon as he left, Ning Caichen greeted him enthusiastically: "Xiaoqian~!"
"Li Zhong, how is the situation in the back mountain?" In the empty Zen room, Li Xiuyuan suddenly asked.
A gust of sinister wind blew up in the room, and he transformed into a burly man wearing armor with a long sword hanging from his waist. He cupped his hands and said, "Go back to the eldest young master. The younger one has sent several yin soldiers and a dozen ghost messengers around Lanruo Temple."
After a round of inspection, I found that there are no living creatures or ghosts here, and the evil spirit is very strong. The thousand-year-old tree demon mentioned by the eldest young master should still be entrenched here."
"It's natural for the tree demon to be here. I just want to know what preparations the tree demon in the back mountain has made. If it wants to deal with me, it will definitely prepare some special means. Otherwise, it will not be able to deal with me simply by relying on Taoism.
The tree demon should know this very well," Li Xiuyuan said.
Li Zhongdao: "Back to the young master, I heard from other ghosts that there used to be a passage to the underworld in Lanruo Temple."
"The passage to the underworld? Well, this should not be used by the tree demon. Is there any other news?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Li Zhong's ears suddenly moved again, as if he was listening to something, as if someone was reporting news to him.
Only ghosts can hear sounds three miles away in all directions. This Yin soldier can hear sounds farther away, which is just the ability of ghosts and gods.
"Back to the eldest young master, a ghost just told the younger one that there is a luxurious mansion in the direction of the back mountain for no reason. The mansion should be transformed by the magic power of spirits."
"Mansion? It seems that it is a trap set by the tree demon." Li Xiuyuan thought immediately.
He brought Li Zhong and a group of ghost soldiers here in order to act as eyes and ears and understand everything going on here, so as not to fall into the scheme of the tree demon.
"Is there any other news?" Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan asked again.
Li Zhongdao: "Back to the young master, there is no other news for the time being."
"Go and inquire again, but be careful. You are not the opponent of the Millennium Demon. If you encounter it, retreat immediately. If there is any other new information, come back and report to me immediately. By the way, you also need to pay attention to the surroundings of Lanruo Temple. Nie Xiaoqian
It is said that the tree demon and the old Black Mountain demon have joined forces. I wonder if the old Black Mountain demon will appear in Lanruo Temple." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Yes, I understand, little one." Li Zhong responded with his hands raised.
"Back off."
A gust of dark wind blew up, and Li Zhong immediately disappeared into the meditation room and blended into the darkness outside.
Afterwards, Li Xiuyuan went to inform Yan Chixia and Xia Houwu of the matter.
It would be great to have two more helpers.
An hour passed quickly.
Li Xiuyuan came to the back mountain of Lanruo Temple alone.
There are trees here, piles of graves, and no one taking care of Lanruo Temple, which suddenly becomes a lot more eerie and scary.
"Master Li really kept his promise and arrived as scheduled."
In the forest, a woman in white came out and saluted Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan said: "This is what I promised and I won't go back on it. Please lead the way. I also want to see what means this thousand-year-old tree demon has prepared to kill me."
"Master Li, please be very careful. Entering the woods in the back mountain is my grandma's territory." Nie Xiaoqian reminded.
"Don't worry, I'm measured." After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he looked left and right.
Not far away from him, not only were there hidden soldiers, but Yan Chixia and Xia Houwu were also secretly following him.
As soon as there is a situation, we will rush out to provide support immediately.
And with Li Xiuyuan's ability, he might not need these supports, after all, he is already strong enough.
Nie Xiaoqian led the way, suddenly changing her worried and solemn look, and suddenly her behavior became frivolous. She talked and laughed along the way, letting out a series of crisp laughter, and kept saying some provocative words.
"Master Li, this way, just go a little further and you'll be there, haha."
"Come quickly, don't keep me waiting."
"..." Li Xiuyuan, who was behind, immediately twitched the corner of his mouth.
This acting skill is really scary. His ability to change his face in an instant and change his mood is beyond anyone's ability.
But then again.
Nie Xiaoqian has developed such a skill, not because of the pressure of life.
If he didn't have the ability to excel, he might have been treated as dispensable cannon fodder by the Dryad Granny and would have been killed at some point.
"There is movement underground..."
Suddenly, not long after Li Xiuyuan walked into the back mountain, he felt slight vibrations under his feet.
It was like a big python was walking under the soil, causing the ground to shake slightly.
He is a master of martial arts, and his body has developed strong energy. He has a very keen sense of every move around him. He can even detect a mosquito landing on him, let alone the movement coming from under his feet.
"So, this tree demon is hiding underground." Li Xiuyuan immediately realized it in his heart.
Soon, he followed Nie Xiaoqian to the dense forest in the back mountain.
The trees here are strange, as if they all disappeared overnight, leaving a huge open space.
And there is a luxurious and exquisite mansion on this open space. Inside the mansion, there are rockeries, flowing water, corridors and pavilions. It can be said that even the gardens in Suzhou, Jiangnan are inferior. To build such a mansion, in addition to the necessary
In addition to spending a lot of money, it will take at least ten years to accomplish it.
But this mansion appeared out of thin air in one day.
Looking at the red lanterns hanging everywhere in the mansion, the red light emerged, which looked particularly weird and terrifying in the dark forest.
"What a thousand-year-old demon." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly.
This luxurious mansion had a different look in his eyes.
The entire mansion is made of entwined tree roots, the courtyard walls are made of densely intertwined roots of small trees, the rockery inside is transformed from a tomb, the running water is just a dirty creek in the forest, and the pavilion is just a dead tree.
The big trees and the palace buildings are just stones and wooden piles.
It's all fake and all illusion.
"Master Li, what are you doing standing there? The slave's house has arrived. Come in quickly."
Nie Xiaoqian urged, but she saw a look of fright on her face, as if she had been targeted by the tree demon grandma.
When Li Xiuyuan saw Nie Xiaoqian's face, he knew that he had been secretly monitored by the tree demon.
"Hehe, just come, just come."
He smiled and immediately strode towards the mansion where the tree demon had transformed.
This tree demon doesn't seem to know that besides being invulnerable to ghosts and gods, he also has the ability to see through all illusions.
These ordinary changes and tricks of deception will soon be revealed in front of him.
"This scholar has entered the lair of the tree demon, and we are ready to take action at any time."
In the dark, Yan Chixia watched Li Xiuyuan walk into the ghost-changing mansion from a distance, and immediately said in a lowered voice.
"Don't worry, as soon as there is any movement, I will kill him. He saved my life, so I will not let him be killed by the monster. But this scholar is so brave, he dares to face the tree monster alone.
"Xia Houwu said nervously.
After all, he is not a Taoist, and he has no ability to conquer demons. He only relies on the sword in his hand.
"He has the heart to eliminate demons, protect the Tao, and help the world and save people. Naturally, he is not afraid of evil spirits and dangers. This kind of heart is not something ordinary people can have." Yan Chixia said, and she also admired Li Xiuyuan in her heart.
After all, this tree demon has nothing to do with him, so there is no need to fight to the death with the tree demon.
But the reason why Li Xiuyuan wants to destroy the tree demon is very simple. This tree demon has done evil and will harm the world and harm the people in the future, so he needs to get rid of it.
