Hu Qi couldn't help being very angry, and said: "You only told me the origin of the sacred tree, but you didn't tell me that it is... that tree."

Previously, the two only told him about the origin of the sacred tree, but they didn't tell him that the sacred tree was the tree in the Guixian Temple.

Beishang smiled and said: "Don't uncle know now? Just take this as a surprise for you."

Hu Qi said unhappily: "Is this a surprise? It's clearly a shock, okay?" As he said that, he couldn't wait to run to the bottom of the sacred tree, looking left and right around the sacred tree.

"Tsk tsk, it's incredible, it's really... 2000, 2000..."

Beishang and Xiaojin walked up to the sacred tree, clasped their hands together and shouted: "The tree is old."

Hu Qi heard them talking, and came up curiously.

"Are you talking to...it?" He pointed to the sacred tree.When he asked, the two looked at him strangely.

Shu Lao explained: "He can't see my face. You have entered my consciousness, so you can see my face."

I see!The two suddenly realized.

In their eyes, Shu Lao's old face was staring at everyone frowning.In the eyes of others, the sacred tree is just a sacred tree, without that old face.

At this time, He Jinlun who was on the side had already walked around the land of the sacred tree several times. He walked back with an ugly face, a look of despair, and kept muttering in his mouth: "Why not? How could there not be?"

Beishang looked at him, and said to Shu Lao: "I wonder if the wife of the village chief came here yesterday?"

"Who are they talking to?"

He Jinlun suddenly looked up at Hu Qi.

Hu Qi straightened his face, and said: "They are asking the sacred tree about the whereabouts of the respected lady."

"Sacred Tree?" He Jinlun was startled, and then became fiery.

That's right, the villagers of Shengyin Village are ordinary people, so they cannot directly communicate with the sacred tree.

But they are different, they are immortal cultivators, and ordinary people cannot compare with them.

Thinking of this, He Jinlun couldn't help but asked anxiously: "How is it? Did you ask?" He asked Hu Qi, but his eyes were fixed on Bei Shang and Xiao Jin.

"Madam of the village head?" Shu Lao said: "I didn't see her yesterday, but if you want to know where she is, it's not difficult."

After saying that, the leaves on its body shook violently, making pleasant "cracking" sounds, and at the same time emitting bursts of golden light, condensing into an incomparably clear image above everyone's heads.

Everyone looked up, only to see that the screen showed the farmer's hometown.

On the screen, Beishang, Xiaojin, Huqi, and Nonglao are talking around Xiaosi on the stone table in the gazebo.

Beishang in the picture said: "How is the situation?"

"Have you thought of a way?"

……

"Just now on the road, I thought of a restraint method, but I don't know if it will work or not."

……

The old farmer took the bottle, bent slightly to Beishang and cupped his hands: "Whether this method is feasible or not, I will thank you on behalf of the villagers of Shengyin Village."

……

The screen was jumping as if fast forwarding, and it showed that Beishang Xiaojin and the others were discussing how to slow down the cannibal Gu worms in the gazebo yesterday.

The screen continues:

Xiao Jin: "How long can this medicine last?"

At this time, the old farmer has left the screen.

Beishang: "One pill can only last for three days, and a person can only take three pills. After three pills, it won't work anymore."

The picture turned here, and turned to the gate of Nong's old house, where Huang was standing there impressively. I saw tears streaming down her face, and she whispered Xiaosi's name softly.

Obviously she had already been there, and she had listened to Beishang's conversation with them.

Finally, instead of going in, she turned and left.

In the picture, Huang walked quickly all the way until she reached the foggy formation at the entrance of the village. After a little hesitation, she walked in.

And the picture ends here, turning into stars and disappearing into the air.

"This is……?"

Seeing all this, He Jinlun was already stunned.

Shu Lao said: "As long as the roots of my tree touch the place, I can display the events of the last two days in the same way as before. It's just that this method consumes a lot of spiritual power, so I basically don't use it on weekdays."

"But judging from the picture just now, the person you are looking for has already left the village, so there is nothing I can do."

Hearing this, Beishang and Xiaojin couldn't help being startled, Shu Lao's words clearly meant that its roots were all over the ground of Shengyin Village.

Although Shengyin Village is not a big one, it is still a village with a population of over a thousand, but the roots of the sacred tree are all over the ground of the entire village, which is a bit scary.

After a silence, Beishang said to He Jinlun: "The village chief, does the village chief know why Aunt Huang left the village?"

He Jinlun said with a sad face: "How do I know what she is doing? She..." He suddenly stopped at this point, as if thinking of something, and murmured: "Is she going to buy a rattle?"

"A rattle?"

Everyone present looked at each other.

He Jinlun said: "Yesterday, when the He family brothers delivered the supplies to me, they took away their own share. Among them was a rattle. At that time, He Xiaoxiao saw it at the market and bought it if he thought it was fun. I bought one and said it was for his son Tongtong to play with."

"At that time, Xiao Si kept clamoring for a rattle after seeing it. But I just bought one. How could I have the nerve to ask him to come over? In the end, He Xiao saw that she had been making a lot of noise, so he brought out a box of pastries. Make her happy."

"Now that I think about it, this child's grandma must love her so much that she ventured out of the village to buy her a rattle." Speaking of this, He Jinlun's eyes turned red again, and he hammered his chest, "This silly Mother-in-law, why are you so stupid? There are demons everywhere outside, what is she doing like a helpless woman? It's all my fault, all my fault."

Speaking of the sad place, I couldn't help another burst of old tears.

The three of them looked at him without saying a word.

He Jinlun cried for a while, and after venting his emotions, he apologized to the three of them: "I'm really sorry, I made all the immortal masters laugh."

Xiao Jin said: "We can understand your feelings."

After a pause, he said meaningfully: "Xiao Si is still waiting for you to take care of her. Leave the search for Aunt Huang to us."

Bei Shang and Hu Qi on the side nodded.

He Jinlun paused and smiled wryly.

He had just started thinking of going to look for Mrs. Huang by himself, but he saw through him unexpectedly.

He bowed deeply to the three of Xiaojin, and said solemnly: "Then I'll leave it to all the immortal masters."

Xiao Jin's words woke him up. His granddaughter Xiao Si still needs someone to take care of her, so nothing happened to him.

After that, He Jinlun bid farewell to the three of them and left alone. He wanted to go back to see his granddaughter Xiaosi.

After watching him leave, Bei Shang turned to look at Shu Lao, and said, "What's bothering Shu Lao?"

Originally, something as big as a man-eating Gu worm happened, and Shu Lao didn't issue a warning, so he was already suspicious.The moment he saw Shu Lao just now, the doubts in his heart gradually expanded.

Although on the surface the sacred tree looked no different from what he had seen before, he was sensitively aware that the leaves of the sacred tree had slightly lost their luster, just like a person who was sick and lost his spirit.Coupled with its frowning expression, Beishang became more certain in his heart that something might have happened that made it unable to issue a warning.

Shu Lao first breathed at Hu Qi.Hu Qi felt a burst of warm golden light pouring into his eyes, blinked, and Shu Lao's old and kindly old face appeared in his sight very clearly.

Hu Qi couldn't help but blinked again, and said, "Are you the elder Shu?"

The old tree said "hmm", his eyes wandered around the three of them, and finally stopped on Beishang, and said: "I am going to tell you about this matter. In fact, I already knew about the cannibal Gu worms in the village. But now I am powerless and unable to warn the villagers."

Its face began to become dignified.

"A few days ago, I discovered that there was something underground restraining my roots from absorbing the aura of heaven and earth."

Speaking of this, it looked at Xiaojin again, and continued: "You all know that the enchantment and mist formation in the village need me to absorb spiritual energy as a supply to maintain their operation. Now there is something that restrains me from absorbing spiritual energy. If things go on for a long time, the village will be destroyed without attack, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable."

Bei Shang and Xiao Jin were not too surprised when Shu Lao knew that they had already learned the secret of the operation of the enchantment and the mist formation.

After all, it has just been learned that Shulao can "watch" the entire village.

Some outsiders entered the village. As the "guardian god" of the village, Shu Lao naturally wanted to "take care of" them more.
