After the pill was given to the child, Ye Lingxi said, "Okay, after today, he will be free from all diseases, and it will not be a problem to live to be a hundred years old." ” As soon as these words came out, the old man suddenly looked excited, "Really?
Thank you to the goddess for coming to the rescue, it was really a sin for the old man to suspect the goddess before!
” Hearing this, Ye Lingxi just waved his hand casually, and then asked curiously: "The old man doesn't have to be polite, it's just a gesture, but why were you so wary of us before?"
Also, why are there no people on the streets of this town in broad daylight?
” When the old man heard Ye Lingxi's words, he didn't want to answer, but when he thought that Ye Lingxi had saved his grandson, he still struggled for a while, and then quickly walked to the door and glanced around vigilantly. …… Seeing the old man's vigilant look, Ye Lingxi and Nangong Shaoting couldn't help but glance at each other again.
After a while, the old man walked up to the two of them with a look of guilt, and said in a low voice: "That's the case, recently, many people have disappeared inexplicably in our city, especially children!"
Before they disappeared, they all saw a giant with slender limbs and a tall body stalking them, and the ghost was haunting, once he was targeted, it would disappear!
So now the people in the whole city are panicked, and even during the day, no one dares to go out, for fear of being targeted and taken away by that monster!
” Hearing the old man's words, Ye Lingxi and Nangong Shaoting both looked pensive.
Afterwards, Ye Lingxi asked, "Didn't the monk go over to investigate this matter?"
And the ghost, what does it look like?
” The old man nodded immediately when he heard this, "Of course someone has gone to investigate, but those monks who went to investigate this matter have all gone and never returned!"
And then there's the ghost, which some witnesses say has no face, limbs like the legs of a large spider, and can easily climb any high wall!
” Ye Lingxi listened, and only felt that the monster described by the old man was a little familiar.
After a while, she suddenly said, "Can the ghost's limbs be extended?"
Or is it thinner?
” As soon as these words came out, the old man immediately nodded in surprise and said, "Yes!
When it attacks adults, it pierces the internal organs with the length of its limbs!
And those who are missing, so far, none of us have found them, and even the corpses, we don't know where they were thrown by the monsters!
” …… At this time, Nangong Shaoting looked at Ye Lingxi and said, "Ling'er thought of what it was?"
” Hearing this, Night Lingxi nodded and said, "If my guess is correct, it should be a tree monster." ” "Dryads?"
Nangong Shaoting said in surprise.
"Well, after the ordinary ancient tree becomes a spirit, it will not easily attack other living beings, but there is a kind of blood tree that likes to feed on the human race after it becomes a spirit, if my guess is right, those people should have been captured by the tree monster."
Night Spirit said.
Hearing Ye Lingxi's words, the old man couldn't help but pat his thigh and said, "What you said is that the monks who chased out disappeared into the dense forest outside the city!"
And every time a child goes missing, the dense forest outside the city will fog, and in the past, the dense forest outside our city rarely fogged!
” But since that monster appeared, the dense forest outside the city has often been foggy.
Unexpectedly, this anomaly was really related to the monster. …… Hearing the old man's words, Ye Lingxi nodded and said, "The tree monster is extremely difficult to deal with after becoming a spirit, if it is correct, those who are missing have now become the nourishment of the monster."
Although he had long been mentally prepared that those people were dead, the old man couldn't help but tremble after hearing Ye Lingxi's words.
Is that monster so terrifying?
actually used the human race as nourishment.
Then, Ye Lingxi looked at the old man and said: "It's not early, we won't bother the old man, the tree monster doesn't like salt, you can sprinkle more salt in the corner of the yard, you can avoid it coming, we will leave first." ” The old man nodded immediately when he heard this, and then looked at Ye Lingxi gratefully and said, "It's going to be dark soon, why don't you stay and stay for a night?"
” Hearing this, Ye Lingxi and Nangong Shaoting both shook their heads, "No, we still have something to do, so we won't bother you." ” With that, the group walked towards the outside of the house. …… The old man sent a few people out of the door, and after repeatedly telling them to be careful, he closed the door.
In the alley, Ye Lingxi said to Nangong Shaoting at this time: "Shaoting, if it's really a blood tree monster, let's catch it." ” Although the Blood Tree Monster is dangerous, its roots, branches and leaves are all excellent alchemy materials, and it is quite rare, since it has encountered it, there is no reason not to catch it.
Nangong Shaoting listened to Ye Lingxi's words, and immediately said, "Okay, since it is useful to Ling'er, then arrest it." ” Then, the group walked towards the dense forest outside the city, which was gradually fogging. …… And when a few people passed, they happened to meet a few sect disciples wearing uniform uniforms, who seemed to have come to deal with the matter of the Blood Tree Monster.
Seeing Ye Lingxi, Nangong Shaoting and the others, the handsome young man led by him immediately stepped forward and said, "A few fellow Daoists, there are spirits infested here, and it is extremely dangerous, you better get out of here quickly!"
” Hearing this, Ye Lingxi and Nangong Shaoting both looked at this person with some surprise.
After a while, Nangong Shaoting nodded at the other party and said, "We are also here to investigate the matter of the spirit." ” As soon as these words came out, the person at the head suddenly showed surprise.
But then, he just looked at a few people with admiration: "I can't imagine that a few Taoist friends are so deeply aware of righteousness, it's really admirable!"
In Xia Luoyang, a disciple of the Xingchen Sect, he came to investigate the matter of the spirit of this night city in the name of his master!
I don't know how many Taoist friends have a big name?
How about you join us for safety's sake?
” …… Hearing Luo Yang's words, Nangong Shaoting narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded and said, "In Xia Nangong Shaoting, it's okay to act together, and take care of each other." ” Seeing that Nangong Shaoting agreed, Luo Yang nodded with a gentle smile.
And several men behind him also nodded slightly at this time, expressing their welcome to Nangong Shaoting and others to join.
After everyone introduced each other, Luo Yang said: "According to our intelligence, every sunset in this dense forest, there will be a large amount of dense fog, and then someone will be missing in the city, let's not go deep into the dense forest for the time being, if the spirit wants to enter the city again to arrest people, it will inevitably pass through here, we wait patiently here, and it is much safer." ” Hearing this, Ye Lingxi, Nangong Shaoting and the others all nodded in agreement.
