Chapter 231 Influence
Ding Xing used the Yueyin hexagram to hide his body, and quietly shuttled through the ghost palace.
He originally identified the direction of the Taoist Scissor's cave, but halfway through, a vague shout of fighting came from his ears.
He couldn't help but stop his pace, looked at the source of the sound, took out the map to compare, and judged that the battle came from Baimi Cave.
This cave is located in the center of the barrier. A white oak tree with spiritual roots in the cave is conceived, which is also the most precious treasure in the entire ghost cave.
When Ding Xing was a teenager at Jinlu Winery, he had the idea of refining the "Miscellaneous Incense". For this reason, he made a special trip to find "Meng Changjun" to ask for the method of refining the incense. He learned that the most important raw material was the resin of the Baimi Oak tree, but this kind of spiritual tree can only be found in the extremely yin place. Once it grows, it will inevitably lead to ghosts and demons living under the tree.
At that time, Ding Xing had a poor cultivation level and did not dare to venture into the ghost cave. However, it was precisely because he could not collect white mist resin and could not refine the incense of insects that he turned to refine the spiritual wine "Chonger Tears".
He knew very well the value of the White Oak tree. At this moment, he heard a fight in the White Oak Cave. He guessed that a monk was thinking about the White Oak Cave and sneaked into the cave to steal.
He thought to himself: 'I remember Brother Yijian said that there are third-level ghosts in Baimi Cave, and their demonic power is quite deep. If you dare to steal resin under their noses, you probably have the cultivation level of the mysterious fetus stage. It would be better if you don't get together for the time being!'
He was still far from the White Mi Cave, and his divine thoughts could rush to the edge of the cave, but the cave was filled with strong blood and energy, which was isolated from the divine thoughts. He could not see the details of the battle, so he decided to find a Taoist to cut the Taoist first, and then make a decision after meeting.
But he didn't know that Yi Jian Taoist had left his cave and was participating in the operation to defend the White Oak Tree.
In the white mist cave that is more than a hundred feet away.
Dozens of strange-shaped ghosts floated, and they made strange sounds that seemed to cry and weep, and they were crazyly besieging the three people in the air.
The three of them dressed differently from the monks of Wei Kingdom. The magic weapons they each held were related to Haizhen, and they looked like they had been hanging out on the sea.
Among them, the fierce man with a pockmarked face had the highest cultivation level and had reached the middle stage of the Xuanfei. He should be the leader and was responsible for robbing the Baimi Tree. He saw him scattering a fishing net, covering the thick-rod monster tree at the bottom of the cave, casting a spell to pull it out.
He has taken out half of the tree roots and can be completely pulled out of the soil layer soon.
This fierce man stood with one helper on both sides. His cultivation was only in the early stage of Xuanfei, which was weaker than him, but his division of labor was clear, blocking the surrounding ghosts' siege for him, so that he could concentrate on snatching the monster trees.
The man on the left was a middle-aged scholar with very small eyes and a look of scammers, but his fighting style was fierce. The ghosts who died in the audience were generally killed by this person. The man on the right was tall and handsome, but his eyes were dodging and looked sneaky, as if he was used to doing something wrong, and his fighting style was without any courage.
All three of them floated in the air, more than ten feet above the ground.
Looking at the ground, the Taoist Ji Jian was sitting cross-legged under the tree of the thick-rod strange tree, sacrificing several paper-belt magic weapons, tightly entangling the tangled vine roots, preventing the tree from breaking through the ground.
There were two monks who helped the Taoist side, but they had no human bodies. They were all ghost cultivators transformed by the soul. One of them was eight feet tall and extremely majestic, but he also had a fierce and evil spirit, with green face and fangs, and his bright red eyes were like copper bells, which made people feel scared.
This ghost relied on the strong body of the ghost, jumped up to the treetops, first pressed the treetops with his body, and then ripped the fishing net with his ghost claws. Unfortunately, he was so skilled that he could never destroy the fishing net magic weapon.
It is both a third-level ghost demon with Yijian Taoist, and its cultivation is roughly the same as that of a monk in the early stage of Xuanfei. Even with cooperation, it still falls under the disadvantage of the fierce man with a numb face, and it cannot prevent the slow rise of the thick-rod monster tree.
Yi Jian Taoist evaluated the battle situation and felt that there was no hope of victory, so he said to the cultivator: "Fellow Taoist, these three cultivators are powerful, and you and I can't stop them. Let's evacuate while the roots of the white mist tree have not yet been completely removed from the soil!"
If you leave now, the three of you will have to stay here to dig trees and will not chase the ghost group. However, if the white mist tree is completely pulled out, the three of you will be free to kill the ghost group.
The Ghost Cultivator of the Eight Ba is quite fierce and his tone is tough: "If you want to leave, I won't leave! As soon as this white misty tree falls, the dark energy in the ghost palace will disappear. By then, the ghost body will no longer be able to live in and practice. The world is so big that there is no place to live. It is better to fight with these people to fight for life and death!"
After hearing these resolute words, Taoist Yijian couldn't help but sigh. He actually understood the ghost's intentions very well. This ghost had been settled in the ghost palace for a long time. No matter what kind of turmoil it experienced, it had never moved away. He was the oldest native. In addition, the ghost did not have much lifespan and had lost the will to die in the world. Only then did he want to live and die with Bai Mishu.
But the Taoist Yijian had just rushed to the third level of the demon path, and he didn't want to die here.
"Senior Yijian, Senior Guimeng is unwilling to escape, so we cannot force the ghosts to do anything!" This is another fellow ghost cultivator next to Yijian Taoist.
This ghost is a female rogue, with a magic name Guizhu. It is the ghost bamboo girl who traded spiritual wine with Ding Xing back then. She is just a second-level ghost. She should have rushed into the air and acted as cannon fodder to siege the three people to cultivate. However, with the care of a Taoist Cleaver, she did not need to work for nothing.
In the Ghost and Demon Clan, it has always been called honorable.
But the Taoist Cleaver did not change his original intention and always treated Guizhu Girl with courtesy: "Miss Guizhu Girl, don't worry, let me persuade him again. When I had not advanced a few years ago, I had received his support many times during my stay here, so that I could not save me from robbery. This is a blessing, and I can't watch him die here."
The ghost bamboo girl curled her lips: "The reason why he protects you is not because you give him spiritual wine to him. If you don't give him spiritual wine, please see if he cares about you!"
Yi Jian Taoist smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing him hesitating, Guizhun continued to advise: "Don't forget your responsibility. Senior Ding asked you to come and sell wine, not to interfere in the fight between ghosts and demons and human cultivation. If you don't leave, what if something happens, how can you explain to Senior Ding?"
The Guizhun Girl was also quite depressed. She recently heard from the north that the seven factions of Weiguo were going to move south in a large scale and were preparing to dispatch a coalition of monks to open a shuttle route in Juanchen Mountain. This route happened to pass by her territory. She was worried that the disaster would come, so she came to find a Taoist to find out the situation.
She knew that Yi Jian Taoist was following Ding Xing for many years and would definitely get first-hand information. Unexpectedly, Yi Jian Taoist was asking questions and not knowing that she was about to return to the territory and report to the King Qingjuan, but she met three men with thug-faced men and joined forces to break into the ghost palace to grab the White Misty Tree.
It is a pity to say that these people practiced. In the past, they sneaked in and just stole some white mist resin, and never uprooted the white mist tree. After all, this is a way to kill chickens and get eggs. Today, they will pull out the tree and never rob it again.
But this time they didn't know what was going crazy, and they actually made up their minds to grab all the treasures in the ghost palace. They really didn't want to keep the armor.
Regarding this abnormal incident, Gui Zhunn had a secret speculation that she thought that the three men with robbed men with a thug face were so thoroughly, and they were probably affected by the southward migration of the seven factions of the Wei Kingdom.
When Yi Jian Taoist heard her mention "Senior Ding", he immediately made up his mind to evacuate: "Miss Guizhu said it well. My duty is to trade spiritual wine, not to fight with others for the death. Let's retreat now..."
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a sound of "ahah" in his ears. He looked up suddenly, and his face suddenly became surprised.
(I wish you a happy New Year's Day.)
