Where are the monsters?

Before Zheng Ming came back to his senses, Daxiong had already babbled a bunch of local dialect anxiously, but unfortunately no one understood what he was saying, but he kept pointing at the woods with an anxious look on his face, and it was clear at a glance that he was Talking about a secret hidden in the woods.

Zheng Ming struggled hard, but he couldn't break free from the golden chains on his body. Being bound by this unknown thing, he no longer dared to hide anything, and told all the things he knew like pouring beans.

"I really don't know much. This forest is very strange. All the dead trees came back to life overnight. This sentence has been said for 50 years. I was not born at that time, and it all came from me. I heard it from my father."

Fifty years ago, it was the time of war. The valley beside Hukou Village was originally an inaccessible place, but one day, a group of people from the village escaped into the forest in order to escape.

Most of the trees here were withered back then, and the villagers didn't understand plants, so they avoided the forest just to eat.Later, with the further escalation of the war, people no longer lived in seclusion, but actively participated in the war. Later, the Japanese army was repelled. Who would have thought that the dead trees in this valley would come back to life like a blessing from the gods.

It is said that green shoots emerged after a night of spring rain. This was a great auspicious sign at the time, which meant that the war would eventually end and people could return to a stable life.

The abnormality of this valley was kept secret by the villagers. Everyone agreed that this is a blessed land, and it is best not to let outsiders know about it and become coveted.

This kind of peace and harmony has passed for decades, and the older generation is getting old, and the magic of this place is only passed on by word of mouth.The development of Hukou Village is not fast. Since the spring breeze of reform and opening up, it has always had some impact on this small village.

Some people came back to their hometown from outside, saying that if they want to earn some extra money here, they must use their own advantages.They rely on mountains to eat mountains, and gall wood is a rare thing in woodcarving. Since gall wood is produced here, they can be sold at a good price.

As far as money touches people's hearts, almost everyone in the village knows the story of the dead wood in spring, and they are also a little curious about this forest that has been resurrected from the dead, but they also think that it is just a forest, and it is not a big deal to cut some for economic effect.

Although the villagers knew that this forest was full of dead trees, they did not observe the area carefully. They did not go deep into the forest before cutting down these old trees.But this time they went in and found a big rock in the middle of the woods, with a grass growing on it.Strange to say, the grass grows strangely, it can grow out of the stone for some reason, and its shape is somewhat like a leek, and it can smell a sweet smell when you get close.

Those who felled trees did not suffer as badly as those who came into contact with woodcarving later, but lived very well. Two of them had problems with their legs and feet, but they were cured without any medicine.They all seem to have had a dream, and they smelled a fragrance in the dream.

Now the villagers felt strange, and some people said that it is better not to cut down trees. Maybe this place has some origins, but after tasting the sweetness of making money, some people naturally refused.It's just a rule that we can't be greedy, cut some and keep some, and some only cut down the trunk so that these trees can continue to grow, and people from other villages can't enter the hinterland of this forest to avoid encountering weird things.

Da Xiong didn't agree to be a guide at first, it wasn't that Zheng Ming said he wanted more pay, but he didn't want to break this rule. Zheng Ming said that he only let the three of them walk around the perimeter before he moved Da Xiong.Now that Mu Feng and the others wanted to go in, Da Xiong naturally refused to go in.

After Zheng Ming finished speaking, Big Bear interjected a sentence, which made Zheng Ming's expression bitter, "Why didn't you tell me before!"

What Daxiong was talking about was something that Zheng Ming didn't know. Before those trees were cut down, those people who went into the mountains had never gone deep into the woods. I've been there before, but they all returned in vain, and they always came out after going around.

After hearing Zheng Ming's complaints, Yang Lianghe connected the cause and effect together, "That's right, you couldn't get in at first, you would only get lost in the formation, but the trees were cut down and destroyed the formation, so that you can get in." You have entered the depths of the woods."

Zheng Ming wanted to ask clearly, but Yang Lianghe didn't want to explain at all, he just asked Mu Feng to tie Zheng Ming and Daxiong tightly so that they wouldn't escape, and the three of them wanted to go into the woods to pick off this strange herb .

With a compass in one hand, Yang Lianghe estimated the safe route to enter and led the way. Of course, he had to explain things clearly about Mu Feng and Ying Ni.

"I have a rough guess right now, and I won't be able to confirm until I see what is growing on the stone. But it is certain that this is related to the Qiqi Yangyang Array. As the name suggests, the Qiqi Returning Yang Array is used to bring the dead back to life. The formation absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, and provides a steady stream of vitality to the beneficiaries at the center of the formation. This formation has extremely high requirements on the geomantic omen of the terrain. It takes a lot of time to find a treasure land with mountains and water to ensure constant vitality. years to succeed.

Manipulating life and death is extremely difficult, and there are very few monks who can really use this formation to return yang. However, the scope of use of a formation can be modified in many ways, and it will not be restricted by the original intention of the invention. "

Mu Feng immediately guessed Yang Lianghe's unfinished meaning, "Old Yang, you mean that the one we met was a preparation for the grass on the rock. It is very likely that someone laid a seven-year-old here more than 50 years ago. The Seven Returning Yang Formation is to nourish the grass on the rock."

Yang Lianghe nodded, "That's what I guessed."

Yang Lianghe was just about to seal the look in my eyes, but Ying Ni quickly interjected, "How does this explain that the people who cut down the trees are fine, but those who touch the wood carvings are in danger of their lives?"

Yang Lianghe could only turn his gaze abruptly, and first talk about his own speculation, "I think it has something to do with the formation under his feet. I have measured the magnetic field here with a compass, and it is very clean without a trace of yin. I guess The person who set up the formation is an expert who makes the best use of the situation. The seven-seven return to the sun formation was originally designed to supplement the yang energy, and the use of trees to form the formation really took a fancy to the natural energy of the trees. After the formation of this formation, here It will become a very clean place, no matter what evil spirit enters, it will be purified into pure aura to support that vanilla.

Those who come here to cut trees are healthy because they are exposed to light, but those who buy wood carvings are not so lucky.

The trees used in the formation were originally born to absorb yang energy after entering the formation. Even if they were cut down, they would still absorb yang energy continuously. Those who touched the wood carvings were planted on them. Trees have their special features, and that is those galls.

The reason why the dead trees are in spring is because people forcibly inject vitality into them, changing their original growth structure. The yang energy and aura absorbed by these trees have mutated and grown gall knots, but this is also the part of the gall wood that is used as the main material for woodcarving. .

Those people who came into contact with the woodcarving quilt not only absorbed their yang energy, but also absorbed all their luck, and naturally they would face disaster.

The original intention of the person who arranged the formation was to cultivate a plant of vanilla. If no one cut down the trees and sold them, they would not hurt their lives. It will absorb the popularity of hundreds of miles, but this process is very slow, and it will not cause any excessive damage at all.But time is fate, the tree has no intentions, whether it hurts or not, it is all because someone destroyed the formation first. "

This explanation makes sense, and at this time, under the guidance of Yang Lianghe, they finally saw the grass on the rock, and at the same time smelled a refreshing fragrance. When they smelled this smell, their moods were shaken, and they immediately felt much better. .

The appearance of this vanilla is nothing more than an ordinary green fern, about thirty centimeters high, but there is only one plant alone.It swayed in the wind, and it actually gave people a pitiful feeling that they couldn't bear to take it off.

But Yang Lianghe knew that this was the center of the formation. If the grass was not picked off, the disaster of the wood carvings would not end. The power of those wood carvings would only dissipate after the eyes of the formation disappeared.

Yang Lianghe was just about to get close to this stone, but at this moment, a gust of breath rushed up from his feet, directly towards his heart, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"No, this vanilla probably already has a mind, knowing that we are here to get rid of it."

How can this be done?

As soon as Mu Feng supported Yang Lianghe, he saw Ying Ni reach out to pull weeds. Could it be that Ying Ni didn't see Yang Lianghe vomit blood just now.

"Boss Win, don't pull it out!" Seeing this scene, Yang Lianghe was even more anxious than the wooden seal, and rushed over to push Ying Ni away.

Mu Feng could see clearly that when Ying Ni wanted to get close to this grass, it actually trembled.

Yang Lianghe broke free from the wooden seal, and the wooden seal suddenly touched the stone.

But Yang Lianghe pushed Ying Ni away at the critical moment. He was relieved when he saw that the herb was fine, "Boss Win, this herb should be of great use. You are incompatible with its attributes. If you touch it If you do, you won’t be able to live.”

Mu Feng was stunned for a moment before he knew that Yang Lianghe was worried about Ying Ni, he was clearly worried that this grass would be murdered, he felt a little complicated for a while, but he also understood that this herb is not easy to survive, and it may have miraculous effects, now that it has reached this step, There is no rush.

"Old Yang, if you have anything to do, just say it."

"I've heard from you that when you touch the wood carving, one of you can't feel it, and the other feels that the breath in the wood carving has escaped, which shows that this herb has different effects on you. I tried it just now, and it turned out that this herb has an effect on you. I will attack, indicating that it can hurt me, and it is afraid of winning the boss. The only one who has no feeling for it, or it has no sense for the outside world is you. Only you can get it. I say two, let’s not do things. Impulsive, you have to try it out."

After listening to Yang Lianghe's words, Mu Feng also realized that he had clearly touched the stones under the grass, but he didn't feel anything.

Mu Feng touched the herb tentatively, it shook slightly, as if it was a little shy after being touched, but it didn't react too aggressively, then Mu Feng pulled the grass lightly and it was pulled out, it had no roots!

Yang Lianghe was not idle, he was relieved to see Mu Feng pull out the grass, took out an awl, knocked off a small piece of the stone that the grass was attached to just now, and put it in Mu Feng's hand, and saw The vanilla actually attached to the stone, as if it had grown a rhizome.

At the moment of pulling the weeds, the atmosphere around them changed qualitatively. With the three of them as the center, there seemed to be a vibration from the ground under their feet, and the surrounding branches rustled. The leaves of the trees, which were still green, withered overnight, as if it had entered late autumn all at once.

Yang Lianghe said at the same time, "The eyes of the formation have been removed, and the forest has lost its former vitality, but they will not die, and the vitality left by the formation will keep them alive. As for the future, it depends on nature. .The matter here is over."

As Yang Lianghe said, he took the grass in the stone from Mu Feng's hand. The grass did not continue to attack Yang Lianghe, but shook it at him after Yang Lianghe poured a few drops of unknown talisman water on the stone. Shake the leaves.

Mu Feng saw Yang Liang and Bao Bao holding the vanilla, and twitched the corners of his mouth. He really didn't know that Lao Yang liked to grow plants. "I said Lao Yang, do you know what kind of grass this is? It's so precious?"

Yang Lianghe touched the vanilla and smiled, "I'm just guessing, it's very likely to be the legendary prickly pear. According to the Shan Hai Jing, it looks like a leek, grows on stones, and sometimes grows on trees. It has the miraculous effect of treating heartache. In fact, it not only treats heartache, but its fragrance can make people forget their troubles. It is said that depression in the heart is the only way to get sick, and forgetting worry is a good way to cure diseases, so this grass is really good. You can’t ask for it when you meet it, and you can understand why you need to use Qi Qi Huan Yang Array to cultivate it. I haven’t heard of anyone seeing it for many years.”

And this thing?Mu Feng decided to ask Di Jiang if he had seen him.

Ying Ni was at the end. He looked at Mu Feng and Yang Lianghe in front of him without speaking, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

Di Jiang was flying in the valley with the dragon egg, and he suddenly sensed the change in the atmosphere in the valley. It seemed that Mu Feng and the others had made a move. The speed was really fast, so they didn't wait for them.

It's better to meet up quickly.
