Lu Yuan took out a pot of water from the Qiankun bag, took a big sip, and said:
"That one just now was the willow tree spirit. Your Lord Song has been killed by him."
There was an explosion underneath. Suspicion, shock, anger...people's various emotions exploded instantly.
A master said: "Master Immortal, Mr. Song was on business for several days and came back last night. How could he be killed so early today?"
The two handymen next to him also said, "That's right. We were the ones who carried the sedan to take you back to your home last night. The journey was uneventful, nothing unusual."
Lu Yuan asked: "What woods will you pass through when you come back?"
A handyman thought about it and said, "Yes, we passed through an old forest."
Lu Yuan asked again: "Did Mr. Song get off the sedan chair in the forest at that time?"
Another handyman also thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "Uh... The master said in the woods that he wanted to get off the sedan for convenience."
"Well, it is very likely that at this time, the willow tree spirit swallowed Master Song's soul and took over his body. Most people can't see the problem with this kind of body grabbing."
Some people burst into tears immediately, while others still looked dubious.
Lu Yuan continued: "Before, there were monsters that occupied the bodies of officials, or killed officials and transformed into the appearance of the victims, just to catch and eat people secretly and improve their cultivation. There are also some monsters who knew that there was no hope of improving their cultivation, so they used This is a way to become an official, plunder the people's fat and anoint them, and enjoy the so-called happiness."
When everyone heard this, they didn't know how to respond.
Lu Yuan took out the burnt severed arm, and a stench immediately spread out. Everyone stared at the amputated arm and whispered.
"Everyone, Lu has cut off the arm of the tree spirit. I will immediately use mystical skills to go to the old forest to find the true body of the fairy. You can also follow me from a distance, and maybe you can find Master Song's relics there."
As soon as they heard about going to find goblins, many people gave up.
Cao Meng said loudly: "I'm afraid of the ball! All the bad guys will follow me! Everyone else will take care of it. Immortal Master, let's go!"
Lu Yuan nodded. He closed his eyes and recited the incantation silently, a blue light flashed between his eyebrows, and slowly penetrated into the severed arm.
The severed arm also slowly appeared blue.
Lu Yuan's mind buzzed, and he felt a map unfolding before his eyes.
There is a flashing red dot on the map, which is where the owner of this broken arm is.
This "demon tracking technique" is the basic mystical technique of the demon master, and every demon master can use it. The higher the cultivation level, the more accurate the positioning. In addition, the level difference between demons and humans will also affect positioning accuracy.
He withdrew his consciousness and said to everyone: "Okay, please follow me!"
Lu Yuan used the magic talisman himself, and all the bad guys followed on horseback. The others, led by two sedan bearers, also rushed to the old forest in a carriage.
The tree spirit is only one level higher than Lu Yuan, so the positioning of the "demon tracking technique" is still very accurate.
He found the real body of the tree spirit without much difficulty.
That is a towering willow tree. The branches cover the sky and the sun, and the trunks and roots are like coiled dragons, which is very spectacular.
It was also the first time for Lu Yuan to see such a tall willow tree.
As the saying goes, "Everything becomes better with age", Master is right! He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Hu Bugui once taught him that after a tree spirit seizes a house, its true form will be hidden in the forest. As long as the original form is found and attacked, the soul of the tree spirit will return. In this state, he will be very weak and easily destroyed by the demon master.
He circled around the giant tree and found a round jade pendant beside it.
Lu Yuan picked it up and took a look. It was engraved with auspicious cloud patterns and the word "Song" in seal script.
"Old Cao, come here and take a look at this?"
When Cao Meng heard the sound, he swallowed nervously and ran to Lu Yuan's side.
He took the waist pendant and looked at it carefully.
"Master Immortal, I am familiar with this waist pendant. It really...really belongs to Master Song!"
After saying that, he knelt down with a plop and cried loudly: "Master Song! You died unjustly!"
Lu Yuan helped him up: "Don't be too sad. Stay away first. I will avenge Master Song."
Cao Meng wiped his face with his sleeve, nodded and left.
Lu Yuan pulled out the Guquan Sword from behind and slashed directly at the tree trunk.
A flash of blue light flashed, and the willow tree fell to the ground with a loud "bang".
There was so much dust all around that it knocked down many of the surrounding trees.
A strange stench suddenly emitted.
Less than half a cup of tea later, the huge tree trunk suddenly let out a shrill scream that sounded inhuman and inhuman:
"Squeak! Howling! Squeak ..."
At the same time, the broken tree trunks were twisting and rolling like a human being, crushing all the vegetation in a radius of dozens of feet.
Lu Yuan had already jumped out of this range and watched all this coldly from a distance: "The soul of the tree spirit has returned to its original body."
All the bad guys were dumbfounded, feeling a great respect and inexplicable fear for Lu Yuan.
The tree trunk struggled for a while, and its strength gradually weakened. Lu Yuan jumped over and stabbed the tree trunk with his sword.
The tree trunk finally let out a long howl, swung a few times, and finally became completely silent.
At this time, other people also arrived. Cao Meng briefly told them the situation, and everyone was shocked.
The master's voice trembled: "Master Immortal! You helped us get rid of a harm and avenged Master Song. We will definitely write a memorial and submit it to the court to ask for your credit!"
Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Famous, wealthy, and wealthy, we practitioners regard them as floating clouds. Those things are not as satisfying as a pot of wine!"
"Hahaha! It's so refreshing! Let's treat the immortal master to a drink later!" Cao Meng laughed.
Lu Yuan clasped his fists and said, "It doesn't have to be today for drinking. Lao Cao, I'll send the wine to you. Just don't forget what you said today."
"okay!"
Everyone relaxed. Some people are discussing preparations for Magistrate Song's funeral.
Lu Yuan said to Cao Meng: "Take everyone back first. I have some things to do. Let's meet at the county government office tomorrow morning."
Cao Meng nodded in agreement and led everyone back to the Yamen.
Lu Yuan came to the demon corpse and used his magical power to take out the demon pill.
This demon elixir is emerald green in color and exudes a faint willow fragrance.
As for the demon soul, Lu Yuan didn't have too many extravagant expectations. These are gifts from God and cannot be forced.
Demon masters value demon elixirs the most, while weapon refiners and alchemists value the corpses of monsters and spiritual beasts very much.
Many of the materials needed to make magic weapons and refine elixirs come from these corpses. The demon master sometimes strips materials from corpses and sells them or exchanges them with others.
He patted the bark and remembered the large shield transformed by the dryad before, and knew that the bark could be used to refine defensive armor or magical weapons.
So he set about peeling off the bark.
Demon masters do not have the special magical power to strip materials of alchemists and weapon refiners, and can only strip them directly with daggers, hammers and other tools.
Just as he was about to start, he suddenly heard a voice like a silver bell coming from behind: "Little brother, please wait!"
Lu Yuan looked back and felt dizzy.
I saw a young and lively female monk with curly twin tails, wearing white armor with low coverage, carrying a huge sword on her back, running towards me in a surging manner.
The girl just jumped up to him. A girl's unique body fragrance and the breath of steel penetrated Lu Yuan's nose.
Seeing her dressed like this, a faint blush appeared on Lu Yuan's face.
