"Has there been any change since the Qingjiang Kingdom had the sacred tree?" Tao Huaying asked curiously.
Lianhe sighed and said: "The sacred tree was planted ten years before the fall of the Qingjiang Kingdom. Since the sacred tree was planted, the Qingjiang Kingdom's national power has been declining day by day. The king of the country has been following the national teacher to cultivate immortality all day long, regardless of government affairs, and the people of Qingjiang have no life. Later, Qingjiang Kingdom A war breaks out between the country and the Yushu Kingdom, and the country’s leader is even more confused. If it weren’t for the general, Qingjiang Kingdom would have been defeated by the Yushu Kingdom long ago!”
"So, after the sacred tree was planted, the national power of Qingjiang Kingdom weakened. Did the national master steal the national destiny of Qingjiang Kingdom? Doesn't the king have any doubts at all?" Lin Zitong asked puzzledly.
"The king was doubtful at first, and the general remonstrated countless times, but the master was eloquent and eloquent. He said that Qingjiang's national destiny had come to an end. If it weren't for the help of the sacred tree, Qingjiang would have perished long ago. ! And he also encouraged the king to let him kill more people, pray every day, and irrigate the sacred tree with blood!"
At this point, Lianhe was so angry that his teeth itched.
At first, the Imperial Preceptor only killed some prisoners. After getting the permission of the Imperial Lord, the Imperial Preceptor became more unscrupulous, killing the old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children. In the end, he even killed all the veterans who had retired from the battlefield.
The thief is harming the country!
That period of horrific and chaotic history was sealed in the Daqing Mountains. If Lianhe, the witness, had not spoken out, historians would have never known what happened.
Because of this, Yan Shouyi did not allow the imperial master's plan to succeed!
The world must not fall into the hands of the national master!
"I wonder if the sacred tree is still there... Lianhe, is there anything special about the sacred tree?"
Lianhe replied: "When I escaped from Qingjiang Kingdom, the sacred tree began to undergo some changes. I only heard about it and never saw it. It is said that the sacred tree has become an immortal, and it has grown a huge The human face can not only speak, but can even open its mouth to eat people."
This is not becoming an immortal, this is becoming a demon through cultivation!
When Yan Shou saw the tree demon, there was also a tree demon Abbot in his demon refining pot.
"Daqing Mountain is indeed the home base of the national division. We were right not to rush into the mountain. There are dangers there."
Yan Shouyi's brows were almost twisted into knots. Although he hadn't arrived in Xichuan yet, he already felt how difficult the matter was.
If you want to find the National Master, you must kill him among his army of wooden puppets. Even if you find the National Master, he might be able to use the power of the sacred tree to hide some killer moves.
Seeing Yan Shouyi's headache, Lin Zitong could only comfort her softly:
"Don't worry, Xuanmen is not only limited to you and Yu Luming, but also the senior leaders of other sects. They are well-informed and may not be able to deal with the national master."
"But no matter what, we can't wait for the seven-day deadline," Yan Shouyi sighed, "Notify all elites immediately and set off for Xichuan tonight!"
…
Deep in the Daqing Mountains.
Dense woods cover the deep valley.
This place is a ruin, with vines and moss growing on the ruins. Some buildings are even directly submerged in the water. Fish are hiding from predators in the fragments of upside-down porcelain bowls.
Poisonous snakes were coiled among the dense leaves, their triangular eyes were cold and terrifying, and they spit out snake bites from time to time.
Among the ruins, there is an extremely thick tree, which is a hundred meters high. The tree crown is like a huge umbrella. The blood-red leaves block the sun, and the light that barely penetrates becomes extremely scarlet after being rendered by the leaves.
This big tree looks like a banyan tree, with many "aerial roots" hanging down from the tree. Some of them are deeply rooted in the earth, some hang down into the water, and some simply hang in mid-air, like the tentacles of a jellyfish, swinging in the wind.
Suddenly, there was a movement in the valley, which scared the poisonous snakes into hiding in the tree holes, and the fish in the water trembled.
It's an army of the undead.
When they went out, they were still crudely made wooden figures without facial features, but when they came back, they were all well-dressed and had human faces.
It’s just that they haven’t seemed to adapt to human bodies, so even though they have facial features, they still look very different. Some are smiling and crying, some are crying and laughing, some are walking with a limp, and some are simply like spiders. Crawling on the ground.
They captured many living people, all of whom were decent people who went into the mountains to kill the national master.
But at this time, they had completely lost their previous momentum. They were all scared out of their wits, crying for their fathers and struggling for their mothers.
But most people have stopped moving. They have either fainted or gone crazy like little Taoist priests. Now they will not react to anything they see and have become puppets at the mercy of others.
The undead brought the hostages to the sacred tree, threw them under the sacred tree, and then all knelt down.
His expression was pious, as if he was praying.
"My sincere heart turns into divine power; I pray to God to send blessings!
National Master Tianen, bless me Qingjiang; from now on, I will be immortal forever! "
The undead man murmured in a low voice, and the sacred tree seemed to be summoned. The earth trembled slowly, and the huge sacred tree actually grew a huge human face.
Between the eyebrows of a human face, countless aerial roots are intertwined together to form a natural throne.
The Imperial Master was sitting cross-legged on the throne, but at this time he had his eyes closed tightly, as if he was healing his wounds.
The huge human face slowly spoke and made a dull sound: "How many people have been captured?"
One of the undead men replied loudly: "Report to the Imperial Master and make a full count of a hundred, and kill all the others!"
"Well... Although there are only a hundred, they all have cultivation and merits. Eating them will more or less allow me to restore some cultivation..."
The human face is both the national master, or in other words, the national master has been integrated with the sacred tree.
Immediately afterwards, the person's face showed an angry look: "Damn Xie Qingcang! He was hiding in the body of that trash next to Yan Shouyi, causing my cultivation to plummet!"
Among the one hundred living people, a few could still remain calm. Now that they finally saw the true face of the Imperial Master, they were so frightened that they lost control of their lower bodies and wet their pants.
Is this the national master?
This national master is not a human being at all!
How to kill him...how to kill him! Even if the old Heavenly Master is resurrected, he is no match for this National Master, right? !
Their faces were full of despair, and they could not even think of escaping.
The huge human face sniffed its nose, as if to smell the freshness of the food before tasting it.
Then, the human face opened its mouth, but instead of eating people directly, it spit out countless aerial roots from its mouth and slowly reached towards the living person in front of it.
The aerial roots directly pried open the mouths of these people, got in, and then quickly absorbed their life force.
Anyone targeted by the Qi Root will be sucked into a mummy in an instant. Not only the essence, blood, but also the soul will be sucked clean!
When they died, their faces were full of fear and pain.
People who still had some self-awareness couldn't help but start crying and begging.
"Don't kill us...don't kill us..."
"We don't want to die!"
"Please, let us go and let us do whatever we want!!"
