Liaozhai Great Sage

The sharp ax landed on the trunk of the huge banyan tree, leaving a deep gash directly on it. The situation where the steel knife could not cut it did not happen again, and even the weather did not change. Banyan also does not have a windless automatic.

Everything seems very normal.

Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly at this moment, looking at this banyan tree that was constantly being cut out, he vaguely felt something was wrong.

The thousand-year-old banyan tree could still show its magic yesterday, but today it feels like an ordinary tree, without any difference at all.

Hundreds of servants also felled extremely smoothly.

In less than a moment, the banyan tree was cut in a circle. According to this speed, the banyan tree would be felled in less than an hour.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiuyuan looked at the huge banyan tree calmly, and vaguely felt that the banyan tree was much more sluggish than yesterday.

It doesn't seem so fresh and energetic anymore.

"Young master, this banyan tree is weird." A servant suddenly shouted.

"What's weird?" Li Xiuyuan strode over immediately.

The servant pointed to the cut hole and said, "Look, young master, the inside of this banyan tree is empty."

Li Xiuyuan looked at it, and sure enough, the trunk of this banyan tree was empty, only a thick layer of bark outside, and there was nothing inside.

"Young master, this place is also empty." Another servant also chopped off the bark and pointed at the hollow trunk.

"Here too."

"I'm the same here."

Li Xiuyuan's expression changed immediately: "Impossible, how can a banyan tree that has grown for nearly a thousand years be hollow."

But when he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something, and looked at Master Liao Kong who was not far away.

Master Liaokong was looking at his eyes, nose, nose, and heart at the moment, holding the Buddhist beads and chanting scriptures, as if he didn't know what was happening right now.

"Continue to cut." Li Xiuyuan shouted.

Everyone responded and continued to cut down the thousand-year-old banyan tree.

After a while, the big tree was crumbling.

"Get out of the way, the tree is coming."

"It fell to the left, everyone be careful."

Accompanied by the loud noise of a big tree falling to the ground, the branches broke and the vegetation was broken. This sacred tree that has grown here for nearly a thousand years and enjoyed countless years of incense and worship was brought by Li Xiuyuan today with a hundred servants. It was felled directly, and there is no possibility of saving it.

However, when the thousand-year-old banyan tree fell to the ground, everyone looked in surprise and found that the heart of the banyan tree was empty.

It was so empty that a big hole could hide dozens of people.

"Master, has this tree been hollowed out by insects?" A servant asked cautiously.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled coldly: "There is no trace of being eaten by moths, it is clear that the tree demon used the golden cicada's plan to escape overnight."

After speaking, he glanced at Master Kong intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's impossible for the tree demon to move without any movement. I heard that the monks in Lanruo Temple recited scriptures all night. The voice was so loud that it enveloped the entire temple. I don't know what Master Kong thinks about this matter?"

Master Liaokong couldn't pretend anymore at this time, put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, God has the virtue of good life. This sacred tree existed before this temple was built, and it has sheltered this temple for decades. Now Mr. Li insists How can this temple do nothing, now that the sacred tree is gone, please let Mr. Li put down the resentment in his heart, and end this grievance, right now, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately."

"I haven't picked up the butcher's knife yet, so why put it down." Li Xiuyuan said, "I'm afraid that Master's actions today will cause disaster in the future."

"I would also like to ask Master Li to show me." Master Liaokong said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "There is a saying that a tree does not need its bark, and it will surely die. The thousand-year-old monster abandoned the bark and fled. If he wants to survive, he must find a way to continue his life. At that time, he will definitely harm someone in order to survive. Once the tree demon does this, he will die." Completely degenerated into a monster, wouldn't it be a catastrophe if the monsters make trouble? I don't know how Master Kong will resolve this disaster when the day comes?"

"When that day comes, the old monk will probably have passed away, so we can only place our hopes on the benefactor Li." Master Liao Kong clasped his hands together and said with compassion and suffering on his face.

Li Xiuyuan was angry and annoyed when he heard the words, but he really couldn't vent his anger on the old Master Liao Kong.

However, Master Liaokong really thought about it. In the future, the thousand year old tree demon will cause chaos, so he hopes to stop it.

But after all this, Li Xiuyuan was sure that this thousand-year-old banyan tree must be the future grandma of the dryad, and it would definitely cause harm to one party and kill countless people.

However, now that things have happened, even if he wants to find and kill the thousand-year-old tree demon, it will be difficult for him to do so.

In the end, he had to wave his hand helplessly: "Burn this thousand-year-old banyan tree, don't keep a single branch."

"Yes, young master." The servants all agreed, and began to prepare something to light the fire, intending to burn the thousand-year-old banyan tree immediately.

Li Xiuyuan didn't look at it. The thousand-year-old tree demon has already escaped, and what's left here is just an empty shell. Can't be buried.

Immediately, with an order, he led the coffin-carrying team to a secluded place in the back mountain.

This is the cemetery of Lanruo Temple.

The monks and travelers who died in Lanruo Temple are all buried here.

"Let's dig there." Li Xiuyuan pointed to a small hill with a higher terrain facing the sun.

If you have a cheap master here, you can definitely find a geomantic treasure.

But he didn't care about Feng Shui, so he could only pick a place that was relatively clean and pleasing to the eye to bury for Miss Qingmei.

Immediately, the workers immediately used shovels and hoes to dig the grave and erect a monument, ready to be buried.

Chapter 24 Nie Xiaoqian's Tomb

While the workers were busy building the tomb, Li Xiuyuan walked around the area by himself to see what the scene of the future green plum burial place would look like, and if there was anything dirty, and if so, he could do it right away. Change the place of burial.

It is different from the gloomy and terrifying scene in Nalanruo Temple in my impression.

Although this is a cemetery, it is also lined with green trees, birds singing and flowers fragrant, treasure temples, and tombstones are well arranged. It is obvious that there are special monks here to take care of them.

After turning around for a while, Li Xiuyuan also thought this was a good place to bury bones.

And he also deliberately buried Qingmei in Lanruo Temple, so that maybe we can meet each other in the future, you must know that this is the world of Liaozhai, after death, maybe the soul is still there.

This can be regarded as a little selfishness of Li Xiuyuan.

"Young master, the tomb has been built and ready to be buried." Suddenly, the voice of the guard Tieshan sounded.

"I see." Li Xiuyuan nodded, and turned around to go back.

But when he went back, he glanced away from the corner of his eyes, and suddenly landed on the tombstone of a tomb.

The name of a deceased person engraved on the tombstone made Li Xiuyuan stunned.
