Huangliang Inn

Chapter 121 Guard

Jian Xuan appeared from the demon tree, surrounded by ghostly aura, like a ghost but not a ghost, like a demon but not a demon, but also covered with a golden light of merit, making it impossible for ordinary ghosts to detect.Occasionally, a little demon passes by here, and they will not find any clues, they will only believe that the demon tree is sleeping, and will not suspect that there is actually a female ghost in the tree.

The distance between the two was extremely close, Jian Xuan raised her arms, her nails swelled wildly, like twirling branches, trapping Yan Xing in it.

The green demonic aura permeates the surroundings, forming a large poisonous mist, which can cause people to feel psychedelic.

Yan Jue didn't move, and his expression didn't change in any way. He just snapped his fingers, and the branches wrapped around him cracked inch by inch, and the green mist also faded away, leaving nothing in a moment.

The female ghost howled sharply, green lines covered her body, her long hair danced without wind, and the tail of her hair was covered with dark green, which was integrated with the green lines on her body.

"Jian Xuan, I mean no harm."

Yan Jue spoke, but the female ghost continued to attack as if she hadn't heard her.

In order to make a quick decision, Yan Jue made a seal with both hands, and a golden aura formed in the palm of his hand, which immediately exploded and turned into thousands of spots of light, penetrating through the demonic and ghostly aura, and attached to the female ghost.

Finding that the ghost energy and demon energy were blocked and unable to continue to move freely, the female ghost was shocked, and she didn't care about attacking Yan Jue, desperately trying to drive away the light spot.

Sadly useless.

The next moment, the light spots continued to connect, forming countless long lines, entangled her limbs, making her unable to move.

"Jian Xuan," Yan Jue called her name again, took out a brass bell from his sleeve, and shook it lightly in front of her eyes, "Are you looking for this thing?"

With the knocking of the bell tongue, grimaces appeared in front of Jian Xuan, they were the ghosts who had been trapped underground in the ancestral hall.Trapped by the barrier, these souls could only curse and howl, crowded and tore at each other, and could not fly half a meter away from the copper bell.

Seeing these ghosts, Jian Xuan no longer struggled, her eyes were covered with green streaks, and her expression became ferocious for a while.

"I know what happened to you during your lifetime, and I also know that you have obsessions in your heart." Yan Jue lightly tapped the copper bell, and pulled out a ghost from the barrier. It was one of the masterminds who set up a plan to kill Jian Xuan back then.

"If you can't get rid of your grievances, I can help you make your soul fly away. If you have other requirements, I can also help you."

"Why?" Jian Xuan finally spoke, not hoarse and rough like a ghost, but like a lark, extremely sweet, "Why do you help me? What is your purpose?"

"Purpose?" Yan Jue held the ghost in his palm and said, "One is to be entrusted by others, and it is a matter of loyalty; second, the tree you live in has been traveling for thousands of years and is connected with the local water veins. Now the ghosts and demons are related. Together, if things go on like this, the underground water veins may be affected, making this place a barren place for creatures to retreat to."

Regardless of ghosts or monsters, as long as they are in the mortal world, they have their own set of rules.Once the boundary is crossed, even if it is not intended, it will suffer bitter consequences.

The Yaomu self-destroys its spiritual consciousness and connects its body with the female ghost, because the female ghost's biological mother has the blood of the witch clan. Although it is extremely weak, it cannot be ignored.

Because of the great kindness he received from the Wood Witch Clan, whether it was to repay the cause and effect, or to prevent the female ghost from making a big mistake in a fit of rage, which would make life miserable, he would never hesitate.

However, Yaomu made a miscalculation. The female ghost avenged her big revenge. Although she did not continue to kill innocent people indiscriminately, she was not lured away by the underworld, but slept in the tree for a long time.

With the protection of the golden light of merit, the underworld cannot forcibly detain her.

Year after year, with the further fusion of the demon wood body and the ghost, it will inevitably affect the nearby water veins.

The most intuitive point is that the water level of the pond where the female ghost was buried before has been dropping, and now it is almost dry.Even if there is rain and stream water pouring in, the deepest part cannot reach the ankle.

Because of the cloudy air in the water, it lingers all year round, not to mention fish and shrimp, and even half of the water insects can't be seen.

After listening to Yan Jue's words, the female ghost looked dazed, ignored the ghost trapped in the copper bell, and turned to look at Yaomu behind her, with shock, sorrow and desolation flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Yan Jue withdrew his spiritual power, and the rope wrapped around the female ghost quickly dissipated.

The moment the bondage was released, the female ghost rushed towards the demon tree, clinging tightly to the tree trunk, the green lines at the corners of her eyes became deeper, like tears of blood flowing.

"You are neither a ghost nor a demon now, and you have two choices in front of you." Yan Jue walked to the side of the female ghost and said.

Before the trip, King Chujiang entrusted Yan Jue to help the female ghost get rid of her obsession, and then bring her back to the underworld.

After learning about the female ghost's experience during her lifetime, and deduced her mother's origin, Yan Jue thinks that if she doesn't want to be reincarnated, she doesn't necessarily have to go to the underworld.

The female ghost raised her head, her emerald green eyes were full of doubts.

"If you want to be reincarnated as a human, you can cleanse your body of the demonic energy and separate from this demon tree completely. If you don't want to, you can also eliminate the ghostly energy and continue to practice until you become a demon." Yan Jue explained.

No matter which path you choose, it will not be easy for the female ghost.However, there is always one more option than sending her back to the underworld.

"My lord, you just said that you can help me achieve my wish." Jian Xuan pondered for a long time, then looked directly at Yan Xun, "But it's true?"

"Naturally not false."

"Then what do I have to pay?"

"No need." Yan Yan smiled slightly, crossed his arms and leaned against the tree trunk, not minding the flow of monster and ghost energy in the tree, "Whether you reincarnate or continue to practice to become a monster, I will live up to the previous entrustment. You don’t need to pay the price, just make a choice as soon as possible so as not to damage the water veins here.”

With Jian Xuan's current situation, as long as she can choose a path willingly and avoid getting involved in more causes and effects, the Chujiang King will definitely give Yan Jue a lot of gifts.

If she chooses to become a demon, it will be a happy event for the demon clan.

Although she is young, the fused demon tree has thousands of years of practice.Even if the spiritual consciousness has been lost, the body has not declined after all, not counting the great monster of the wild, and the qualifications in the monster clan are also counted, which cannot be underestimated.

Explain the pros and cons to Jian Xuan, and Yan Jue waited for her to make her own choice.

Jian Xuan did not give an answer immediately, but asked Yan Jue, she wanted to know where Sui Zheng was now, if possible, she hoped to see him.

"Did he die in battle or was there another reason, is he still alive or has he been reincarnated?"

Counting from the day he left home, Sui Zheng has already passed his octogenarian age, and the hope of being alive is not great.But Jian Xuan has been guarding for decades, and there has been no news. This makes her always hold hope. Maybe, there is a one-in-a-million possibility?

"Okay, I'll help you."

Knowing the obsession in Jian Xuan's heart, Yan Jue took out the jade slips presented by the underworld, and asked from Jian Xuan's mouth the eight characters of Sui Zheng's birth date, and carved them on the jade slips with spiritual power.

After the last stroke was made, the jade slip shimmered, and in the light there were ghost writings.

"My lord, what does this mean?" Jian Xuan didn't understand what it meant, so she asked Yan Jue.

Yan Jue sighed, took out a silver bell, and signaled Jian Xuan to throw it into it.

"Sui Zheng has passed away, but just like you, the three souls and seven souls have not returned to the underworld. You are possessed here, and I will take you to see him."

Jian Xuan nodded, before throwing the silver bell, carefully picked up a small piece of dry bone hidden under the tree, fused it with ghost energy, and hung it on her neck.

This is Mrs. Jane's remains, and it is also the only bone left after she sacrificed herself to draw witch patterns and was swallowed by power.

After Jian Xuan finished everything, she threw herself into the silver bell, and Yan Jue made seals with both hands, wrapping the body of the demon wood with aura so that it would not wither after Jian Xuan left.Then barriers were set up around the village to prevent mortals from entering by mistake.

"Let's go."

The barrier was closed above the demon tree, leaving no gaps.After confirming that there were no omissions, Yan Jue injected spiritual power into the jade slips, guided the way with ghost writing, and flew all the way south.

The place where Sui Zheng was buried was not the destination where the team set off.

In the years since he left his hometown, he followed the team to fight north and south, how many times he climbed out of the dead, how many enemies he killed, and how many comrades he lost.

Before the enemy retreated steadily and victory was imminent, his team was ordered to lie in ambush at the border, and will launch an interception against the enemy's convoy.

There are dozens of trucks in this team, all of which are carrying antiquities, gold and silver looted from the local area, as well as a large number of precious documents.When the main force was defeated and retreated, they received orders from Shangguan to secretly transport these treasures out of the border and return to the country by water.

However, the intelligence is not entirely accurate.

The enemy army ordered to protect this convoy was not a few hundred people, but as many as 2000 people, and there were also bribed puppet troops to respond.

The army ambushing at the border found that the situation was wrong, and it was too late, so they could only send a telegram immediately, and at the same time, at all costs, they had to hold back the convoy and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

That battle was extremely tragic, and all the defenders in ambush died in battle, and none of them survived.The enemy and puppet troops also failed to escape, and were wiped out by the rushed militia and reinforcements.

When the battle was coming to an end, the enemy was expected to have no hope of escape, so they detonated trucks one after another, and those that could not be detonated directly drove into the river.

The river was so fast that it submerged in an instant, swallowing everything on the car completely.

The battle of the living is over, the battle of the dead continues.

All the dead enemy and puppet troops turned into evil spirits, repeating the route they had taken before they were alive again and again, heading for the border again and again.The defenders who died in the battle did not leave either, and they took up weapons again to fight and kill the evil spirits, preventing them from stepping out of the battlefield.

The Yin soldiers that Yan Jue encountered before also died in battle, but they will not be confined to one place.

Not so with these defenders.

They are completely restrained in this battlefield, and the evil spirits will not be exterminated for a day, and they will not and cannot leave half a step.Otherwise, you will let go of your breath, causing the yin and hostility to overflow, and the nearby creatures will suffer.

Following the guidance of the ghost text, Yan Jue found the place where Sui Zheng died in battle, and then asked two little demons to inquire. After learning about the past, he released Jian Xuan from the silver bell and asked her what she meant.

"You mean, he's here?"

Jian Xuan floated to the ground, excitedly wanting to step forward.Don't want to just take two steps, suddenly there is black air flying in front of you.

As if the switch was turned on, in less than a blink of an eye, a dark cloud gathered in the sky, a large amount of black air rose from the ground, and ghosts in different military uniforms appeared one after another in the black air, their expressions changed from empty to fierce, There were long howls and roars in the mouth.

Before Jian Xuan stepped forward again, the ghosts were already fighting together.

The wind was blowing, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.

Ghosts and shadows are intertwined, recreating the hellish and tragic scenes of that year.
