When Zhong Jinliang asked to see the green spirit on the sloppy Taoist priest, both of us couldn't help but become a little nervous.
This thing, we two brothers worked very hard to get, it cannot be given away so easily.
But this Zhong Jinliang is so powerful, we both saw it just now. If he tried, neither of us would have a chance to make a move.
But then I thought about it, if he really wanted the green soul in us, he wouldn't go to such trouble and just grab it based on his strength.
Intuition tells me that Brother Liang should not be this kind of person.
After just being stunned for a moment, the sloppy Taoist priest took out the green soul hidden in his body, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, those old Taoists from Tayun Mountain are chasing us just for this thing, Qinling Mountain." In the deep mountains and old forests, there is a tree demon that has become a climate. Every twenty years or so, it will devour the lives of many living people and suck their blood. The bones will be buried at the roots of the big tree to serve as its nourishment. I and those The Taoists in Tayun Mountain all focused on the tree demon, but it turned out that our two brothers got the treasure, so they chased us."
Zhong Jinliang picked up the green soul that exuded green light, took a closer look, and said: "This thing is made from grass and trees. It doesn't seem to be of much use to improve people's cultivation. It can be used to extend lifespan, and it can make people more capable." It’s not bad for a wood-attribute magic weapon to have the ability to control the power of vegetation.”
With that said, Zhong Jinliang threw the green soul to the sloppy Taoist priest again.
The sloppy Taoist priest chuckled and said: "Brother Liang, you saved my life and Xiaojie's life. Otherwise, I would leave this thing to you. It is considered as our repayment for saving our lives."
When I heard the sloppy Taoist priest say this, I couldn't help but be stunned. When did this guy become so generous?
I would rather lose my life before, but I don't want to give up this green soul.
But Zhong Jinliang laughed and said: "You kid, you are really a thief. When I said I wanted to watch Green Soul, your face turned pale with fright. If I really keep it, you will cry." There is no regret, just take it and take it...don’t play this trick with me.”
Hearing this, the sloppy Taoist priest couldn't help but blush, smiled, and put the green soul away.
Only then did I understand that the sloppy Taoist priest was playing hard to get. He knew that Zhong Jinliang didn't want this thing, so he offered it to him. As a result, Zhong Jinliang was embarrassed to accept it. These more than 800 tricks are really not something to cover. .
In this way, the three of us drank for a while, and we were all a little drunk. The food and wine on the table were almost eaten.
Zhong Jinliang stood up and said: "Two little brothers, you will stay here for one night today and have breakfast before leaving tomorrow. Judging from my many years of experience in the world, those Taoyun Mountain veterans will not let you go so easily. , although they don’t dare to enter the village, they may be waiting for you outside the village. Therefore, you still have to be prepared for a protracted war. I can send you away, but in this way, it seems a bit deliberately protective. I'm bothering you, and if word spreads, my reputation won't be good, as I seem to be too biased towards you, saying that I, surnamed Zhong, am using my power to bully others."
"Brother Liang, you don't have to be so polite. We can leave by ourselves at dawn tomorrow. You have already taken good care of us." The sloppy Taoist priest said politely.
"Well, good boy, if you have courage, you have to make your way in this world on your own. Your strength is earned by yourself. You can't always rely on others. Whether you can escape from the entanglement of these Tayunshan veterans depends on your true ability. ." Zhong Jinliang said with a smile.
Over there, his wife had packed out a guest room for us and invited us to come and rest.
We thanked my sister-in-law, washed ourselves briefly, and then entered the room.
There is a bed and a bunk in this room.
The sloppy Taoist priest asked me to sleep on the bed, and he lay on the floor.
Maybe it was because of drinking. As soon as he lay down, the sloppy Taoist became a little confused and looked like he would fall asleep soon.
This guy's heart is not ordinary, and he can still fall asleep in this situation.
I sat on the bed, kicked him, and said, "Don't go to bed first, I still have something to ask you."
The sloppy Taoist priest said sleepily: "What else do you want to know? Didn't I tell you everything?"
"You're a scammer. You must know everything. You deliberately tricked me into coming here to be your gunman, right?" I said angrily.
The sloppy Taoist priest sat up directly, looked at me and said: "Xiaojie, what you said is wrong. We are good brothers, so we should help each other. When we dealt with the snake spirit, the snake spirit who had practiced Taoism for four hundred years was The eight-tailed fox in your body was swallowed. To deal with the zombie king, the corpse pill was also swallowed by you. Ruan Na in the ghost house, good guy... was also sealed by you with the Tiangang seal. From now on It will definitely be of use to you, I’ll ask you to help me get a green spirit, is that okay?”
"No problem, it must be no problem. I have no objection to this, but can you tell me in advance? No matter it is the tree demon or the dozen or so veterans of Tayun Mountain, they are not easy to deal with. We can't handle it. Both lives are gone, so I can be mentally prepared, right?" I said.
"Be prepared. Everything is according to my plan. You just need to go up and do it. I guarantee that nothing will go wrong." The sloppy Taoist priest said carelessly.
"Foolproof? Why do you have the nerve to say these words? You were sealed in the tree hole by the tree demon. If I hadn't saved you, you would have been sucked into a mummy by the tree demon, as well as those old Taoists. They are chasing us. If we are not careful, we will be killed. This is too risky." I said.
The sloppy Taoist priest smiled sheepishly and said, "Isn't everything fine? Nothing happened." "
"Tell me the truth, is it part of your plan for us to go to Zhongjia Village?" I said.
"Yes, this is the only way we can stop the old Taoist from Tayun Mountain. I have long known that Brother Liang lives here, and he is also part of my plan." Now the sloppy Taoist became honest.
"What's going on with the headless bride and those paper figures?" I asked.
"I heard that more than a thousand years ago, this tree was considered a sacred tree by people in the Qinling Mountains. In order to pray for good weather and good harvests, people at that time would often sacrifice to the demonic tree. At first, they sacrificed animals. , and later directly sacrificed a living person, married a young woman to the sacred tree, and burned many paper figurines. The young woman, wearing a phoenix crown and harem, was taken to the sacred tree and her head was chopped off directly. The blood watered the tree demon, and the body was buried under the big tree. In this way, the soul of the sacrificed woman merged with the tree demon..."
