The Sky-Covering Tree, given its name, is extremely domineering. I wonder if it will really have the effect of covering the sky if it grows to its extreme length?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xiao Yu's mind.
"If the seeds of the Sky-shading Tree are brought back to Maoshan and planted on the top of the mountain, I'm afraid there will be another wonder in the future!"
With this thought in his mind, Xiao Yu's eyes began to shuttle back and forth on the canopy of the sky-shading tree, trying to find the tree's seeds.
"It is said that this tree is still young. If it grows to adulthood, it can block half of the sky.
I heard from the people here that the most famous ghost building here is made up of countless sky-shading trees woven together.
One branch of that tree is a thousand meters long, and its body is as big as a towering mountain peak, blocking out the sky and the sun, with no end in sight."
Just when Xiao Yu was looking for the tree species of the Sky-Covering Tree, the Taoist from Huaxian Temple smiled again and said.
"The body is as big as a mountain peak and the trunk is a thousand meters long. Can it still be called a tree?"
Qinglong smacked his tongue and said.
"Haha, when I first came here, I was shocked by the big tree, but in the end I gradually got used to it.
Fellow Taoists, please follow me."
There is a big hole in the tree, just like Qinglong said, it is a bit like the big tree where Big Bear Er lives.
But this tree is much more spectacular than the one in the cartoon.
In the tree hole, various tree vines are woven together to make a tree vine seat, and there is also a big stone with some water on it.
What's even more strange is that the entire body of this tree is actually hollow. It's hard to imagine that such a big tree can grow to such a big size just relying on the bark to support and absorb nutrients.
Above the tree hole, there is something like a honeycomb every few dozen meters, with fireflies flying in and out.
The top of this tree is like a vast sea of stars, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
"This is the most sacred residence in the whole village. Only when important guests come, the villagers will let them stay there.
The lower part is where guests are invited, and the vine beds above are where we sleep at night.”
Several Taoists from Huaxian Temple explained while pouring water for Xiao Yu and others.
Xiao Yu and others were attracted by this strange place. They touched the rough bark with their hands, and some couldn't believe that the scene in front of them was real.
"There are all kinds of wonders in the world, and there are countless places in the Yang world that we humans cannot set foot in, let alone in this secret realm!"
The sloppy Taoist sighed.
At this moment, an old man walked in outside the tree hole. The old man looked to be in his sixties. He had a cane in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other.
"Immortal, there are still some berries in the cellar that can be eaten. Don't dislike them."
The old man placed the basket on the stone table, and then looked at the Taoist priest from Huaxian Temple, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"Old man, it's okay to just say it. We are all Taoists, so there is no need to be taboo."
Seeing that the old man was hesitant to speak, the long-bearded old man from Huaxian Sect waved his fly whisk and said with a smile.
"Um……"
The old man pondered for a moment and then sat on a wicker chair next to him.
"Two days ago, the immortal helped us kill the demon fish that caused trouble and got a valuable demon pill.
This news has spread to the ghost village for some reason. The soul envoy from the ghost village came here just now and asked us to hand over the demon pill, otherwise we will have all our souls taken away!
The villagers are extremely scared, so they asked me to tell the immortal to see if there is any way to deal with it."
The old man seemed a little embarrassed and said slowly.
After hearing what the other party said, Xiao Yu and the others all set their sights on Changxu Laodao.
"There is no need to be afraid, just tell me that the demon pill is here and let them come.
If it were before, I would still be afraid, but now with these Taoist friends, even if all the people in the ghost village come, we can handle it.
Old village chief, could you please tell the villagers to sleep peacefully and we will arrange the hunting and fishing tomorrow."
The Taoist from Huaxian Temple calmly reassured the villager.
"Okay, then I'll thank you, the Taoist priest, and I'll take my leave."
After hearing the old Taoist's assurance, the old man immediately left with great joy.
Seeing the other party leaving, the old man explained.
It turns out that when the ghost tower was opened, Lao Dao and several of his junior brothers came to this village for no reason. Because they fell from the sky, they were called immortals by the villagers.
At that time, there was a monster fish causing trouble by the water in the village. The old Taoist killed the monster fish, so he stayed here temporarily and wanted to find out the situation before leaving.
"According to what you said, the ghost village has some relationship with the ghost building. If we leave, will the villagers here be retaliated against?"
Xiao Yu listened to the other party's explanation and said immediately.
"Yes, we can control it for a while, but we can't control it forever. We still have to let them solve it themselves!"
Qinglong also strongly agreed with Xiao Yu's words.
"Nothing, that ghost village is the only village nearby. All the ghosts live in it. There are only hundreds of them, so they can't cause much trouble.
Moreover, he is led by a ghost general, and most of them are evil ghosts, so they are not that scary."
The old man from Huaxian Temple continued to explain.
"That's fine. Before we leave, we can arrange some exorcism circles in their village. A ghost general shouldn't be able to enter."
The few of them chatted for a while, and then the two disciples of Huaxian Temple called out to eat.
Being close to mountains and rivers, they also ate birds from the mountains and fish from the water. Although Xiao Yu and the others did not need to eat, they also tasted some.
The night was getting darker, and most of the villagers had gone back to their houses to sleep. Only a few young and middle-aged people were chatting with Xiao Yu and others.
But most of the time they were the ones talking, and Xiao Yu and the others listened.
From some legends to some powerful figures, Xiao Yu and others also became familiar with this place.
From what they said, Xiao Yu and the others knew that there was a big city two hundred miles away from here with a population of more than two thousand people.
However, the people who can live there are all different people, and most of them have spirits at home.
The spiritual body, that is, the Tao body, can absorb spiritual energy into the body, but the probability of such a person is pitiful.
And having such a person will make a whole family of young and old chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
"It seems that this is not only the location of the Ghost Tower, but also the Xuanmen people openly accepting disciples."
The sloppy Taoist said expressionlessly.
"Indeed, the more you know, the more lively it will be here. There must be other things happening later.
If a secret realm has such a scale, how many secrets does the whole world have? It seems that we were still at the bottom before!"
Although Guan Tianyue is a disciple of the Hidden Sect, this is the first time he has heard of such a thing.
"The Taoist people who entered the Ghost Tower in the past kept silent about this matter when they returned home, and it was not even recorded in the Taoist books. It seems that there is a lot of articles in it.
I'm thinking about a possibility. Could most of the people in this secret realm of the Ghost Tower be monks from the Yang world? They were tired of the life in the Yang world and finally came here to live in seclusion?"
Xiao Yu looked at the old man of Huaxian Temple and asked.
A ghost building, I thought it was just an ordinary secret place, but now it involves a lot of things, which makes people have to think about it.
"It's also possible. Let's not make any wild guesses now. We will naturally find out when we go to a big city."
The night was very quiet. Xiao Yu and the others lived in the tree that covered the sky. Everyone tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
The stronger the strength, the more incredible things they come into contact with, just like the current ghost building, which reveals a different world to them.
