Lonely tree in the north

Mo Xun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he straightened his clothes as quickly as possible, while enduring the excitement in his heart, he nervously walked downstairs with small steps.

Seeing the familiar figure from behind, Mo Xun even showed a happy smile on his face, and he guessed right.

Shen Siyu of Jinling, Shen Siyu, the fifth son of the Phantom Palace family, one of the five masters, ranked fourth, and Gu'an's only good friend.

Shen Siyu is gentle and elegant by nature. When he first saw him, he was also wearing an ink-colored robe; under his eyebrows that were neither thick nor thin, there was a pair of eyes that covered the entire starry sky, and the thin white under the high bridge of his nose The lips are always raised, very gentle.

He bowed his hands slightly to salute, and the soft voice came out of his mouth, resembling the image of a scholar, "Shen Siyu in the Illusion Palace, please forgive Master for disturbing Master's rest."

Mo Xun hurriedly waved his hands and bowed them in a polite manner, his expression was agitated, "Don't bother, don't bother, I don't know what business Mr. Shen is looking for?"

Shen Siyu rolled his eyes around, and said hesitantly: "I heard that Master Gu'an, a disciple of Yuankong Dazong, is coming to Jinling City, so I rushed to visit, and... I have something, please help my Shen family. "

Mo Xun waved his hand politely, knew what he wanted to say, and answered directly: "About the inexplicable disappearance of people in Jinling in the past year?"

He looked at Mo Xun with surprise in his eyes, wondering if his intention for coming was so obvious?

Mo Xun still remembered the matter of Jinling very clearly. Since he appeared earlier, the Dryad must have appeared a year later.

Moreover, the population of Jinling disappeared inexplicably. At that time, it took Gu'an to investigate for about a month before they found out.

The culprit was a hundred-year-old tree in a temple built by Shen's privately. It sucked the essence of people, and finally put the dry people into its stomach, so that the tree did not fall for a hundred years.

Mo Xun really wanted to tell him directly that it was the tree trunk in the temple, but he directly identified it without evidence, and he might be taken as a fool.

Shen Siyu directly invited Mo Xun to sit at the mansion. Although he was said to be the Fifth Young Master, his brothers above him were already gone, and now the Palace Mistress of the Shen family was weak and sick, so he was the only one in charge of the Phantom Palace.

"I'm sorry, but Mr. Shen came to disturb Master Gu'an before he entered the city. But now things have been delayed again and again, and Mrs. Shen really has no choice. Every ten days, someone will disappear inexplicably, not only Shen So, even all the people in Jinling are panicking now." Shen Siyu sat down, his brows furrowed tightly, and he opened his mouth with guilt, he paused, and then said:

"I also learned that Master Gu'an is from Jiumeng Temple, so I came here to ask you to help me take a look. Shen really has no other choice."

Mo Xun pondered for a while, and suddenly came up with a word in his mind, and raised his head to answer: "Since this is the case, let's see how the atmosphere of Jinling is."

"Earth?"

"It's like this. In fact, when I entered Jinling, I vaguely felt a demonic aura. This demonic aura penetrated the entire land of Jinling, but the aura is too weak, so I can only guess." Mo Xun said with a sullen face. He started talking nonsense with a serious face.

It is impossible to directly tell that the dryad is responsible for the ghost, then you can only talk nonsense to make him believe it.

Anyway, the ending is the same, and Mo Xun doesn't care whether the process is right or wrong.

What worries Mo Xun is that when Gu'an sealed the tree demon, he used a dangerous forbidden technique, and this forbidden technique turned back on him afterwards.

I am secondary, but today's Gu'an kung fu and the kung fu one year later are simply one level behind.

Now if I really want to learn the Prison Devouring Technique, I don't know if I can control it.

Shen Siyu didn't understand these things at first, but when he heard the word "monster", his face turned slightly pale, "Master Gu'an means that there are monsters in Jinling? But since the accident, the mansion he found has also been found on the mountain." Practitioners haven't found any clues at all."

Only then did Mo Xun realize that although Shen's Phantom Palace is the second child of the five masters, it is also the only one among the five masters who does not know how to cultivate immortals.

Mo Xun thought about it for a while, and then said: "It's suspicious if you can't find it. If it is really man-made, how can it leave no traces. Jinling's land spirit is prosperous, and ordinary monsters dare not invade it. It is not necessarily a monster that is transformed into a demon by the energy of the earth spirit. This kind of monster is between the spirit and the evil, and it is difficult for ordinary people or people who are not deep in Taoism to distinguish between a demon and a spirit."

If I hadn't known these a long time ago, I'm afraid it would be difficult to distinguish them according to Gu'an's way.

Shen Siyu stood up and saluted respectfully: "Mr. Shen has little knowledge and has been taught. He just listened to Master Gu'an's words. Maybe he already has an idea."

The idea is true, but I have to find a way to act out a play to convince them that it is really a dryad.

Mo Xun turned his eyes quickly, and suddenly remembered a ritual that Gu An had done, and immediately came up with an idea, "The matter has not yet been settled, I have a way, I want to ask the young master to invite the highly respected master from the nearby temple. That is to say, we will do a ceremony together at midnight the day after tomorrow.”

"A legal matter?"

Mo Xun nodded and explained: "Yes, it will be done in the temple built by Mr. Shen's house. I just ask Mr. Shen to keep this matter a secret. The less people know about it, the better."
