The tree spirit elders finally knew how those two people drove away the evil spirits of Beishan.
It can be imagined that generally the powerful Taoist priest should be responsible for exorcising evil spirits, while the other one is responsible for carrying water to wipe away sweat.
In any case, now that the crisis was over, they were about to step forward to say thank you, but they saw Li Rui hurriedly running to the remains of the bloody vine spirit, rummaging around.
"Damn it, why isn't there a fourth clue?"
The elder of the banyan tree spirit stepped forward and asked, "What is the Taoist priest looking for?"
Li Rui waved his hand: "Nothing. But now it seems that my guess is correct. That scholar is indeed not a good person."
"Not a good person?! I heard what he said makes sense, and he doesn't look like someone with ulterior motives?"
It's because you are too arrogant!
Li Rui said helplessly: "To be honest with the elders, that person is actually Zuo Qoutian. The Teng Yao just now should have been manipulated and manipulated before."
The banyan tree spirit said regretfully: "Hey, this kid Teng Yao has been sensible, kind and brave since he was a child. He is really... eh? Who are you talking about? Zuo Qiutian?!"
Your reaction is too slow!
Li Rui nodded helplessly.
Several members of the Presbyterian Church have obviously heard of this person's name. After all, he was able to escape from the pursuit of Shenxiao Palace and commit numerous murders. Needless to say, this resume alone is "brilliant" enough.
"But why do those vicious men come to our place and pretend to be a gentleman from Jingyang Academy?"
Li Rui had already figured out the whole story: "Elder, just think about it, he set up traps in Wuguang Cave and other places to spread the evil spirit, but there have been no other changes. It must be because what he planned takes a long time to complete. .”
"Furthermore, when that person takes action, rivers of blood will flow out at every turn. His intentions are definitely not small. Forgive me, the only thing worth mentioning about this place is..."
The banyan tree spirit was shocked: "Empress!"
Li Rui said sternly: "Yes, it must be the Peach Blossom Empress. This place is protected by her, so the evil spirits cannot invade the north gate, but to isolate the evil spirits, it will inevitably consume some money."
"How despicable!"
He Yang finally came to his senses at this time, "That bullshit Zuo Qiutian just saw that the Peach Blossom Empress was weak and sleeping, so he deliberately killed her with his men."
Li Rui said: "If I guess correctly, the key problem still lies with Teng Yao. There should be a reason why he was possessed by an evil spirit today."
"Call Shensu quickly."
The banyan tree spirit immediately asked someone to bring the ginseng spirit over. Because Teng Yao died, it began to cry again.
The tree spirit elder guarding the door comforted him for a while, and then asked: "Shensu, you and Teng Yao are the best, so you should first tell us what it did today. This is very important and related to the safety of the empress."
As soon as she heard that it was related to the Peach Blossom Empress, although Shen Sang was sad, she immediately replied: "It, it, I don't know what happened to it. I saw it running in from the north gate and looking at me in a panic. Say, say something to kill him, it’s too late, and then, then, the evil energy comes out of it, wuwuwu~”
Li Rui frowned and thought, then asked, "Does he have any special performance on weekdays?"
Shen Suang shook his head: "It's normal, no different from usual. It's just that he seems to be more taciturn recently, but that's all.
Li Rui asked again: "What about others? Has he done anything special or gone to places he doesn't usually go?"
Shen Suang shook his head: "No, it is a guard. It usually stands guard at the north gate, and then pays homage to the empress, and basically does nothing else."
Li Rui's expression changed: "You forest spirits can go to worship the Peach Blossom Empress at any time?"
The banyan tree spirit proudly explained: "The empress is as close to us as mother and son. Naturally, we can worship at any time. Even when she is not asleep, she will never refuse us."
You are so proud! That's why something happened!
"Take me to her quickly, it's a matter of life and death!"
The banyan tree spirit hesitated for a moment, but still chose to lead the way. After all, this was no longer normal.
The reason why Li Rui hadn't thought of it before was because he had entered human thinking and always felt that not everyone could easily see someone like Peach Blossom Empress, the head of the clan or even an ancestor, let alone someone who fell into Sleeping is a period of weakness.
He didn't think for a moment that there was something different about the spirits.
To be precise, the person who truly unlocked spiritual wisdom here was actually the original elder. Without her, the rest of the forest elves would not have gained consciousness at all.
So their relationship is not as close as mother and son, it can be said that they are mother and son.
If a son wants to see his biological mother, of course he can do so at any time.
But this gave Zuo Qiutian an opportunity to take advantage of.
Li Rui guessed that before that guy left here, he had deployed evil energy formations in three locations to weaken the Peach Blossom Empress and accelerate the disruption of the spiritual energy of this place.
In addition, they used some means to control Fujiyao, allowing him to remain here unconsciously as a ghost, and go to places where evil spirits gather in Beishan every day, and then go to worship, slowly causing the evil spirits to erode.
The reason why this is so troublesome is that, just like before, what Zuo needs is a blackened version of the Peach Blossom Empress, and it must be alive.
So even though he had the ability to slaughter everything here, he still didn't do it. He just pretended to be from Jingyang Academy and deceived Lin Jing, who was too naive.
In this way, there will be little movement, and outsiders who do not enter the mountain will not be able to know about the changes here, and the arrangement will be effective for a long time.
Today, Fujiyao was probably corroded by evil spirits when he was carrying the evil spirit with his body, causing it to briefly break free from the control of the secret technique. Therefore, he asked Shensu to kill him, but before he could explain the reason, he was killed instead. The evil spirits controlled him, and then Li Rui used a big bag to exorcise the evil spirits.
The group of people hurried to the deepest part of the Holy Land, where the Peach Blossom Empress slept.
Of course there is no Sleeping Beauty here, only a huge peach tree with pink flowers in bloom, shining brightly and illuminating the surrounding area, making it extremely gorgeous.
"So red."
He Yang couldn't help but sigh. He felt that this flower was more colorful than the usual peach blossoms.
"It probably has something to do with Zuo Qoutian's methods," Li Rui said.
"But, what should we do now?" He Yang asked again.
The banyan tree spirit said: "It doesn't matter, let's wake up the empress first, and then explain the whole story. She must have a way to eliminate the influence."
Li Rui frowned and looked at the tree spirit elder guarding the door: "Didn't you say that he is too weak to be awakened?"
The latter looked up at the sky.
Li Rui understood. The old tree spirit just didn't want to do this before. He couldn't wake him up. He was just deliberately trying to fool himself.
The banyan tree spirit guessed the whole story and explained: "It is true that the empress cannot wake up easily after sleeping. Don't blame Taoist priest. Think about it, even if there is an evil spirit in Beishan, we have not tried to wake her up, right?"
Li Rui thought it made sense, but actually he didn't care much about it.
As a result, several elders stood around the huge peach tree, muttering something to each other.
Then, green light surged out from them and flew towards the main trunk of the peach tree bit by bit.
Li Rui signaled He Yang to retreat, took out his diamond umbrella, and was ready to attack the boss suddenly.
He was worried that this peach blossom spirit had been influenced by Zuo Qiutian and turned into an enemy.
However, after a while, several elders became panicked and confused.
"Taoist Priest! Your Majesty can't wake up!"
