In the open space near the river, fragments of the tree demon's body were scattered everywhere.
The body of the tree demon is about two meters high, with many branches, and the number of fragments it disintegrates into is also considerable. Some fragments are attached to the streamside fire. When the wind blows, sparks splash onto other fragments, and they appear to spread.
The trend is coming.
Ye Xuan gathered the fragments into a pile and let the flames burn them to ashes.
After all, the tree demon is a product of hell, and it may be contaminated with weird demonic properties. You need to be extremely careful when using it as a material to refine magic weapons - rather than compensating for caution, it is better to discard it and burn it directly to eliminate future troubles.
"Did you see how they came here?" Ye Xuan calmed his breath and talked with Yue Yunzhai.
Yue Yunzhai led two river soldiers to patrol other places and said to Ye Xuan: "Yunzhai can clearly see that they grow from tree stumps."
He frowned and explained in more detail: "They grew from the stumps of the trees that my master cut down. When I noticed them, they had just grown out of the stumps.
When it first grew up, it didn't have so many sharp branches, and its body wasn't as hard as it is now.
My river soldiers and I beheaded several of them on the spot. Later, the more frequently they were contaminated with foul odors, their bodies became harder and their bodies were covered with sharp thorns and branches, making them more difficult to deal with."
Listening to what he said, Ye Xuan immediately thought of the time when he used sword energy to cut down the withers. Every time he cut down a withershu, there would be a scream in his ears, as well as the black blood flowing out of the incision.
In this damn place, even the trees are so unusual?
Tree demons can grow out of tree stumps, so is there anything special about its roots?
Ye Xuan turned his head and looked at the bare forest trees. At this moment, he felt that they looked like skinny arms stretched out towards the sky, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Previously, a seventh-level god could cause chaos in Shihe, displacing tens of thousands of people and causing many disasters.
This place right now is most likely the location of the underworld.
In the underworld, not to mention those at the bottom who have no gods and are not worshiped, but there are only a few gods with gods and legends circulating in the world.
What about the Ten Palaces of Yama, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Yin Commanders and the like...
How could the Mahakala Tantric Sect set up its sect in such a dangerous place?
Perhaps the mountain gate itself was a blessed place in the cave, but because of practicing Buddhism, disasters were brought upon it, and it collapsed once, and then the underworld came and covered the ruins of its mountain gate?
No matter how much Ye Xuan thought about it, he could never imagine how a human sect could be deeply involved in the realm of death.
Except for the Thousand-Armed Thousand-Eyed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who has reincarnated as the six-armed Mahakala, the outer form of the Dharma Protector, and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who has transformed into a group of demons and demons in hell, they are both the four great Bodhisattvas and are colleagues.
Related?
He frowned and thought hard, but because there were too few clues, he finally couldn't figure it out.
So he gave up thinking and looked at the forest of dead trees.
Having this dead forest that could turn into a tree demon at any time clinging to one's territory makes one feel psychologically uncomfortable.
The wind howled, the sky was low and dark, and seemed to be filled with yellow sand, mixing into a strange color.
Yue Yunzhai did not disturb Ye Xuan's thinking, but watched as his brows gradually relaxed and asked in a low voice: "I think it's better to dig up a root to see what's special about this tree?
The tree demon has a tough body and cannot be damaged by ordinary flames. If you can subdue a few of them and use them as river soldiers under your command, it would be useful."
"This is a demon, not a demon or a ghost. It can listen to people's words, and knows that it will hurt if it is slashed, and it will die if it is killed - they have no concept of life and death. Maybe they are dead things themselves, which is better.
Surrendered?" Ye Xuan was a little depressed.
But when I thought that I would live here for a long time and vowed to transform it into a livable paradise, I felt some pride in my heart that "man can conquer nature".
He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Let's give it a try."
So Yue Yunzhai led the soldiers from Lianghe and surrounded Ye Xuan, walked into the dead forest, and found a tree stump where a tree demon once grew.
Ye Xuan put on the tiger cassock, led the bull-headed Rakshasa to dig out the tree stumps with the weapons in his hands, and led the others to retreat far away.
The Bull-headed Rakshasa uses a crescent shovel. Compared with other weapons, this crescent shovel is more suitable for digging earth and rocks.
I saw that it was covered with a layer of Buddha's light to resist the erosion of the filthy air around it. The crescent shovel turned over again and again, bringing out a pile of scorched earth.
Not long after, a large hole was dug, exposing the roots of the tree stump.
Ye Xuan saw the bull-headed Rakshasa standing next to the pit and saw nothing unusual. The fat tiger didn't scream wildly as a warning, so he led the crowd closer and saw that there were little people growing on the roots of the tree stump.
The little man was completely black, like an unborn baby. His body was not yet fully developed, but his face was extremely old and covered with wrinkles.
As soon as these villains came into contact with the filthy air, they all opened their eyes. With a turn of their dark eyes, they ignored the surrounding Yue Yunzhai, Rakshasa, Fat Tiger, etc., and all stared at Ye Xuan, their eyes full of resentment, and their faces full of resentment.
Hatred: "Bodhisattva lied to me!"
"Bodhisattva lied to me!" Their dark but smooth bodies are also quickly showing wrinkles. Before they have grown, they are aging first. Their skin is like a dehydrated apple, and their limbs are growing densely packed granulations in this chorus of screams——
When the wind blows, the fleshy sprouts break away from the skin of the deity and all flock towards Ye Xuan, who is shrouded in Buddha light!
What a terrible evil intention!
Being stared at by dozens of pairs of demonic eyes, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and then shouted the mantra: "Maha Kalaya!"
The six-armed Mahakala that appeared in his heart suddenly disintegrated, taking the form of the Compassionate Guanyin with Thousand Arms and Thousand Eyes, and the Buddha's light all over his body suddenly spread outward.
The granulation sprouts were pressed in like a tide. Ye Xuan originally thought that it was a sure thing to purify the granulation sprouts with Buddha's light. He knew that once the granulation sprouts were pressed in, they would immediately display a monstrous demonic intention - this demonic intention was different from the demons outside the territory and had no root cause.
, the best degree.
It vaguely interacts with Ye Xuan's body of Buddha's light in cause and effect, and is so complicated that it cannot be refined by the Bodhisattva's state of mind alone!
Seeing this, Yue Yunzhai released his divine seal and shot out a series of divine lights, which was able to force the granule to suspend its attack for a moment.
The fat tiger roared wildly, and fire-like blood and energy surged all over his body, and many of the flesh buds were burned to ashes by the energy and blood!
Even so, it’s still a drop in the bucket!
"Moo!" As a last resort, Ye Xuan recited the mantra again.
The six-armed Mahakala suddenly took away his two arms and returned to become the Great Sun Tathagata!
A halo of light suddenly appeared behind Ye Xuan's head. Its inner core was red, and it suddenly expanded outwards. The densely packed flesh buds that were about to submerge Ye Xuan's body were all reduced to ashes under the bright light.
Wherever the Buddha's light passed, the skins of the little people attached to the tree roots were plump and plump, their black color faded, their eyes showed piety, and they chanted the name of the Great Sun Tathagata in unison!
call--
The halo of light behind Ye Xuan's head became even redder, and at the edge of the arc of light, there seemed to be strands of light radiating outward, implicating an unknown place.
As soon as he thought about it, he withdrew the Buddha's light and looked incomprehensible.
Visualize various phenomena arising from the mind.
For those with advanced mental state, the gods and Buddhas they visualize may be powerful or sacred.
For those with low mental state cultivation, it may be difficult for them to visualize and condense the external appearances of gods and Buddhas in the sea of consciousness, let alone transfer their power from the realm of consciousness to the realm of reality.
Everything is idealistic.
Ye Xuan's mental state cultivation has made breakthroughs one after another, and it won't be long before he can reach the legendary realm of great light in Buddhism - Vajrashara.
With the current state of mind of "pervading all places, pervading all light, the absolute truth" and the vast Buddha light obtained by refining the demons in the tiger cassock, he can travel through the ten realms of suffering without much problem.
Originally, Ye Xuan was planning to continue like this.
But now he tried his old tricks again to subdue the villains and monsters at the roots of the tree, but he provoked the cause and effect for no reason, and his mood was dragged by the threads of cause and effect. Even though the villain who was subdued by the degree showed piety and proclaimed the Buddha's name, Ye Xuan felt sad.
It's weird, I feel like everything is indescribably false.
The evil spirit emanating from the villain demon is so real, more intense than the evil spirit brought by the demon from outside the territory, and is difficult to eradicate, which also makes Ye Xuan wary.
Simply relying on Buddhist mental methods to suppress and transform demons may lead to endless troubles.
It’s time for me to put my cultivation of Taoist mental skills on the agenda!
——But, where do you get the Taoist teachings?
Ye Xuan looked at the tree roots in the pit, dazed.
The many little figures hanging on it slowly withered and shriveled, turning into tumors.
Those nine hand seals should have a deep connection with the Taoist sect, and they can also refine demonic energy. It might be worth a try.
A sudden thought came to Ye Xuan's heart, which really made Ye Xuan feel happy, and his originally anxious mood calmed down.
"Lord, what should I do with these tree roots?" Yue Yunzhai asked at the right time.
Ye Xuan looked at the tree stump and felt nauseated. He was just about to think of burning it, when he saw a green shoot growing out of the cluster of sarcoma.
It is extremely rare to see green in a bitter land!
He was stunned for a moment, and the thought of burning the stump disappeared, but he could not make up his mind. He didn't know how to deal with it, so he said to Yue Yunzhai: "If you transplant this green bud to the river, the root of the tree will still be burned."
Lose.
If it can survive in the mud near the river, we will see the effects.
If it wilts like this, I'll leave it to fate."
Naturally, Yue Yunzhai did everything he could. He sent his soldiers to carefully remove the young shoots and ran to the river to plant them. He and Ye Xuan dug out all the remaining tree roots. Ye Xuan directly returned to the Great Sun.
Tathagata, purify all these tree roots.
As a result, more and more light filaments were wrapped around the edge of the light wheel behind his head.
The Buddha's light is even more intense and powerful than before.
The few remaining trees whose roots no longer sprouted buds were thrown into the fire and burned to ashes.
The fire gradually extinguished, leaving a thick layer of ashes on the ground.
Ye Xuan mixed the ashes with the soil dug out from the ditch, dug out a piece of land behind a rocky mountain, spread the soil, and planted the soil doll in it.
This place was determined by Ye Xuan as the place to set up the ‘Thunder Shock Gate’.
After doing this, the sky will light up again.
Ye Xuan was no longer sleepy, so he simply looked at the newly collected true Qi in the Dragon Bird Seal.
In the ninth hole in the "ghost" sequence, three to five rays of true energy collected from the tree demon are accumulated in it.
