With a body like wood, I believe my eyes.
The old woman's body is by no means simple, and it doesn't look like a normal human body. otbnkotgt The old woman supported her body and slowly stood up from the chair.
Under the gloomy air, she could clearly see a pair of legs like rotten wood under the old woman's black robe.
Behind the broken black cloth were rotten and withered pieces of wood. .
I had never seen her stand up before, this was the first time I saw her.
It gave me a huge shock.
"You can be my best servant.
I will give you another chance to be my servant, and I will give you eternal life."
She stretched out her hands, and those dry hands were also changing, with strange wrinkles forming on the surface.
Then the layers shattered, strange cracks slowly emerged from the center, and then the outer skin fell off.
After falling to the ground, it turned into scattered black lumps.
If you look closely, you can see that these are clearly broken bark.
"That's what you call eternal life becoming a tree" I sneered.
"The body is not important, be it trees, animals, or human bodies are just skins.
As long as the soul exists, no matter what the appearance becomes, it will be eternal."
As she spoke.
He gently reached out and took off the hood on his head.
What he saw under the weak light was a face that was already full of cracks.
I think the blow I just made was not without effect.
On the contrary, it should be said that it had an outstanding effect, taking away a lot of her so-called vitality.
This is like a tree shedding its skin.
In order to survive in winter, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off, and even more Much of the life force is used to preserve the trunk and roots of the tree.
This is a plant's self-protection reaction.
My knife should have killed the old woman, but now she has a weird body, like a tree.
The body speeds up its metabolism and continuously peels off the old bark, eventually growing new bark.
"I have heard that in ancient times, some old witches developed some strange methods in order to pursue the so-called immortality.
They believed that the lives of animals are too short.
Even animals with long lives like turtles can really live for more than a hundred years.
Thousands of years are still too few.
But on the contrary, many trees can live for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Therefore, these old witches began to look for trees that could carry human souls.
Among these trees, in exchange for growing Life and death.
At that time, many people thought this method was impossible, but in the end, someone succeeded.
They discovered that a tree growing in a strange black mire that always looked like it was about to decay could actually contain human souls.
So a large number of old witches began to transfer their souls into this kind of tree, but there were no records after that, and to this day, there are no examples in the circle of people who have successfully lived for hundreds of years by this method. , I saw a living specimen today.”
I looked at the old woman in front of me.
She fit the rumors I mentioned.
The Thai wizard apprentice who smuggled into China hundreds of years ago may have known the specific spell of this method by some chance at that time, and then transferred his soul into this strange plant, and finally survived. .
"Chenyin Wood."
The old woman picked up the broken pieces of wood on the ground and said, "You are right, this is how I can survive.
This kind of wood is called Chenyin Wood."
I immediately started searching for information about Chenyin Wood.
It seemed to be mentioned in the mountain ghost stories.
After pondering for a while, I finally remembered it.
The place where the dusty wood is mentioned in the mountain ghost story is not a special article about the dusty wood, but it is mentioned among the grass and tree spirits.

Chenyin wood is also called ghost wood, because the place where this kind of tree usually grows is the junction of yin and yang.
Therefore, many ancient masters who could freely enter and exit the yin and yang realms would find Chenyin wood near the location of Chenyin wood.
It is the passage into Hades.
This kind of wood makes a living by absorbing souls.
They absorb souls, convert the souls into nutrients, and store them in the body.
Because they are trees, they metabolize very slowly.
They can often live for more than ten years after swallowing one soul.
It is also said in the mountain ghost story that this kind of wood is relatively easy to become a spirit.
Thinking about it this way, many things seem to be made clear.
First, the Dusty Wood will absorb souls.
Therefore, the old woman's soul left the body and was absorbed by the Chenyin Wood.
But before it was converted into nutrients, the old woman replaced her own soul with other souls and gave it to the Chenyin Wood for absorption.
Each one absorbed is equivalent to ten more years of life.
As long as she keeps devouring souls, she can continue to "live", and it is precisely because the Chenyin Wood itself grows at the junction of Yin and Yang.
Therefore, when the old woman touched me, I could feel the breath of the underworld through the dusty wood, and thus I had hallucinations.
Therefore, this is what the old woman calls the art of immortality.
In fact, it is basically exchanging the lives of others for your own.
"If you don't do good things, you have to be a monster that doesn't look like a monster or a ghost that doesn't look like a ghost."
I mocked coldly.
"It seems that you really don't understand what I said.
The body is just a skin.
The soul is eternal.
The dusty wood can protect me from death.
Isn't this much better than the human body?"
"I will never become as virtuous as you.
If you want to kill me, do it.
I am not afraid of you."
As he spoke, his eyes were aimed at the Tushan knife on the ground.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately took action, rolled on the spot and landed next to the Tushan knife.
He reached out to grab the handle of the Tushan knife, raised his hand and stabbed the old woman's body.
But this time, he saw through my plan in advance.
Before the knife penetrated the old woman's body, he grabbed me with his hand, and a force stronger than me pulled me up from the ground.
"Hold" I cursed, but I heard a scream from my wrist.
The old woman slowly lifted my whole body from the ground into the air.
The completely wooden arms possessed inhuman strange strength.
"I won't give you another chance.
Killing you and devouring your soul will make up for my loss."
The monster's hands gradually pulled and slowly tore my body apart, causing severe pain.
But I remained calm because of the reversal of luck.
The current situation is too passive.
The sneak attack plan just now is not thorough enough, but there is really not much time left for me.
This old woman wants to tear me in half alive.
I'm definitely not as strong as it, but is there any chance now?
After all, Wudang Five Elements Kung Fu is not a magical skill, and it is impossible for me to become as copper-skinned and iron-boned as Fatty.
But precisely because Wudang Five Elements Kung Fu is not a magical skill, I have the opportunity.

The strongest point of this set of exercises is not to make myself Becoming a powerful warrior lies in the control of the five elements.
Dustwood is also wood.
Right in the wooden row.
If I could control the power of metal and use metal to defeat wood, it would be easy to deal with this old woman.
But can it be done?
I didn't have the confidence, but I still wanted to give it a try and tapped the old woman's wrist with my backhand.
This sudden thing made the old woman slightly startled.
Then concentrate and start to control the Qi in your body.
The time to reverse my luck is approaching the limit.
If I can't control Jin Xing in this last period of time and give me a chance to survive, I will definitely die.
The chance of life and death is at this moment Anyway, I can't survive.
After trying to reverse my luck four times, I can only survive for a few more months at most.
Either way, I will die.
I won't lose even if I try hard.
All the breath was deposited in my head, and it didn't respond to my movements at first, but maybe my body itself felt the threat of death.
Or perhaps the breath control becomes smoother after reversing luck.
Although I can't walk all over my body for a week, I can still adjust my breath to my wrists.
A faint yellow light began to emit from the palm of her hand.
The old woman seemed to feel something was not right.
She was about to exert force when suddenly her wrist began to break.
The dusty wood was broken into large pieces, as if it had been cut open.
"How come?"
The old woman stepped back in surprise, and I fell to the ground, but I didn't dare to stay any longer.
I picked up the Tushan knife on the ground and rushed towards the old woman again.
This time I wanted to insert the knife into her head.
Almost all human souls are hidden in the brain, that is, in the heavenly spirit.
To kill the old woman, just piercing her body is useless.
The only feasible way is to destroy her soul:
