I walked to the big tree and pressed my hands on the locust tree. Sure enough, there was a lot of yin energy inside, which led directly to the yin energy veins deep underground. I ignored it before, mainly because it was dead and thought it could not absorb yin energy.

, but unexpectedly, the Sophora japonica tree is different from other trees. The word "Sophora japonica" means wood and ghost. It can be seen that it is particularly easy to absorb Yin Qi and attach to the ghost. Even if it is dry, it can absorb Yin Qi. The whole tree has been dead for several years without much decay.

.

But I was a little confused, because based on my feeling, there was no big cavity in the locust tree, and there was nothing particularly sinister inside. Lu Chengshan must have also explored the locust tree but found nothing. I didn’t give up and walked around the tree.

Looking at it, I quickly discovered that there was an inconspicuous scar more than one meter above the ground. It was square, the size of a bowl, and had neat edges.

This is when the locust tree is still growing. I use a very sharp knife to pierce and hollow out the inside, and then put the bark back. Since the slit is very thin, I put it back in time, and the seam will soon close and grow, leaving only

Even if someone saw the thin scar, they would think it was randomly carved by a naughty boy.

Although it was very different from what I imagined, I still believed that I had found the right one, so I pulled out my dagger and dug out the piece of bark. The bark was already somewhat corroded, so it was easy to dig out, and the wood inside also had cutting scars, so I re-stuffed it.

The piece that went in has grown together with the tree body.

After the locust tree dried up, it became very hard. It took me a lot of effort to take out the cork. I looked inside and saw a small packet of oil paper. Because it was stuck tightly, I carefully took it out, but the oil paper still broke.

Opening the oil paper, there was a piece of yellowed leather inside, with sketches of mountains, rivers and villages drawn on it. It was definitely a map, but there was no text on it.

It turned out that the treasure was not here, it was just a treasure map. I looked into the tree hole and saw something inside, so I gave the map to Lin Mei and used a dagger to poke at the thing inside. The thing looked like a piece of jade.

Since the growth of the tree was tightly stuck, I could only use the tip of a dagger to dig out the wood next to it bit by bit. It took several minutes to get the piece of jade out.

When I reached out and touched the piece of jade, I jumped up as if I had been electrocuted. A sinister aura rushed into my body. My mind was instantly filled with a variety of negative emotions such as anger, sadness, helplessness, as well as some fragmented thoughts.

Picture. Due to the sudden attack, the spiritual energy in my body reflexively produced resistance, and the invading Yin energy was instantly refined and completely gone.

I was stunned for a moment. The Yin Qi just now was very similar to the Yin Qi that entered my head when "Elder Brother" spoke to me last time. From this, it can be seen that his ghost invaded my body and wanted to convey some meaning.

But it was too weak and was dispersed by my Yang Qi before it could convey its meaning.

How could "Big Brother" become so weak?

After thinking about it for a moment, I understood that the day before yesterday, "Elder Brother" had been consumed by Master Zeshan with the power of Vajra. It was also severely injured by Lu Chengshan. It knew that it was no match for Lu Chengshan, so in order to

In order to prevent the treasure map and the jade talisman from falling into the hands of Lu Chengshan, Lu Chengshan adopted a trick to transfer all the yin energy to a corpse, leaving only a little spiritual consciousness in this jade talisman.

As expected, Chengshan fell into the trap and destroyed the mummy but failed to find its real hiding place. Unfortunately, the ghost of "Big Brother" was too weak and dissipated before he could send his "last words" to me.

This piece of jade is in the shape of a fan, with an angle of about 45 degrees. The widest part is about three fingers long, about the same length as the middle finger, and less than one finger thick. The jade is warm and delicate, white but yellow, not very transparent.

There are six engraved horizontal lines in the center, which is a Kun hexagram pattern. There are also some exquisite curling cloud patterns above and below the Kun hexagram. The edge pattern is interrupted very abruptly, and there are two grooves on both sides of the jade, one concave and one convex. It can be inferred that such a jade talisman is

There are eight pieces in total, which can be assembled into a Bagua plate.

Turning over to the back, there is a pattern composed of dots and lines, which looks like a decorative pattern, but my eyes lit up. This is a rare high-level rune!

There are many types of runes, and runes with the same effect may have different runes in different factions. Some simple-function runes can also be modified and innovated, so the number of types of runes cannot be counted. But from the type and composition of the runes

Methods can be divided into four categories:

The first type is Fuwen, which is composed of two or more small characters. Some strokes are exaggerated and deformed, and the whole combination is formed. It is the most common in modern times; the second type is Yunzhuan, which is mainly composed of ancient seal characters, and there are also some mysterious patterns.

Or symbols, this is what most people think of talisman; the third category is pictorial talisman, which combines the image of gods with runes. This type of runes is more advanced and must be drawn by someone who can communicate with ghosts and gods.

Effect; the fourth category is more advanced, called talismans, which are composed of complicated dots, lines, circles and geometric patterns. Nowadays, those that can be drawn are rare, and non-professionals cannot even recognize them as runes.

What I see now is the most advanced treasure rune. I can't recognize it as a talisman or what its function is, but I can confirm that it is a set of treasure runes. I suddenly remembered that Lin Mei said that "Elder Brother" is magically invulnerable.

Talisman, now this piece of jade is the yin instrument where the ghost of the elder brother resides, and there are high-level runes on it. Is this the talisman that is invulnerable? But it only has runes and cannot be used without related spells.

There must be something weird about this jade talisman! I held the jade talisman tightly and immediately felt that the jade talisman was filled with pure and rich spiritual power. It was boundless. It was a small piece of jade talisman, but it seemed like a boundless world inside. Careful

It can be seen that these spiritual powers have a calm and heavy quality. The five elements belong to earth, so they should be Yang Earth spiritual powers.

I have never seen jade with such strong spiritual power, and the spiritual power is so pure, it is the most suitable place for Yin souls to "live". The so-called Yang soil refers to the vast and boundless land of the earth, and does not have any influence on it.

The Yin Soul caused damage, and the "Eldest Brother" absorbed the Yin Qi from the earth veins from deep underground through the locust tree. The Yin and Yang complemented each other and reached a balance, so it cultivated very quickly... Strictly speaking, the Eldest Brother is a legendary "

Ghost Cultivator".

Except for the strong spiritual power of Yang Earth, I couldn't sense anything else. The "Big Brother" had completely disappeared, so it was impossible to know how to use the talismans from it. I tried to inject spiritual power, and there was no trace of it.

The breath of the jade talisman was also transmitted to my body at the same time, and I felt like soaking in a hot bath. The spiritual power of the Yang Earth inside was nourishing my spiritual energy. Obviously, the spiritual power in the jade talisman is of great help to practitioners.

I tried several times with my spiritual energy and spiritual consciousness, but found nothing. Lin Mei turned around with the map and looked at it for a while, then asked me with a puzzled look on her face: "What does this mean?"

I took the map and looked at it carefully. First of all, I can confirm that it is a map. There are simple drawings of mountains, rivers and roads. There is a village at the foot of the mountain. The small squares represent houses and the circles represent wells or stone mills. There are no buildings outside the village.

There is a flashing sign painted in the distance, which should be the location of the treasure, but there is no word on the entire map.

I'm speechless. This picture was hastily drawn by the people who buried the treasure. It can be easily found by the person involved with the drawing, so there is no need for words. Leave it to their sons and grandsons. As long as they know the approximate location, they can find it easily with the drawing.

The treasure can be found, but now everyone except Lin Mei is dead. No one has told Lin Mei where the treasure is hidden. Where can I find it based on this map? Besides, after so many years, there must have been a lot of changes.

, even if you search for every small village in China, you may not be able to match it with the map.

I smiled bitterly: "This is a treasure map, but I don't know which province, which county, which township or village it is in. I'm afraid we will never be able to find it. Has Senior Brother asked you to remember a certain place before?"

Lin Mei thought for a while and finally shook her head.

"Then did he tell you where you came from, where you were going, or any plans?"

Lin Mei still shook her head: "He rarely spoke to me. He only taught me martial arts a few times and told me to pretend to be a ghost to scare people. Sometimes he didn't even talk to me for a year or two."

I know this is true. Senior Brother is a very conceited master, and he will be a conceited ghost even after death. He never thought that he would be killed so easily, so he did not confess his "last words" in advance. Although he did confess in the end,

He failed to convey it to me successfully. Lin Mei's constitution is weak and cold, and she has been affected by yin energy for a long time. If "elder brother" communicates too much with her, it will harm her, so she tries not to speak as much as possible.

I put the jade talisman into Lin Mei's hand: "My senior brother's ghost was hidden in this piece of jade. Originally, he had something to say to me, but my yang energy was too strong, and it disappeared completely as soon as I touched it."

, so your origins, the secret of this jade, and the location pointed to by the treasure map may never be known."

Lin Mei said "Yes" with a calm expression. She only had respect for her senior brother and didn't have much other feelings, because she had long known that he was not a human being. She folded the treasure map and handed it to me along with the jade charm: "

These are of no use to me, just keep them."

"This piece of jade is very valuable. The money you get from selling it is enough for you to buy a house and land, and you will live a worry-free life for a lifetime..." I said with a smile, and suddenly my face changed, "Could it be that Lu Chengshan is not only looking for treasure, but also this piece of jade?"

symbol?"

Lin Mei asked doubtfully: "No way, even I don't know about this jade."

I said while thinking: "If this jade talisman really hides a magical talisman that is invulnerable, then it must have appeared in the hands of the Boxers. It has only been a hundred years or so, and there should still be people who know about its existence. For

For an accomplished Taoist like Lu Chengshan, the allure of treasure is not too great, and the value of this jade talisman far exceeds the treasure!"

Lin Mei was a little confused, so I continued: "This jade is the best spiritual jade. It is very good for ordinary people to carry it with them. It can even ward off disasters and eliminate disasters. It is also a rare ancient jade, so

It is very valuable. And for those who practice Taoism, it is a rare magical weapon. It can be used to foster ghosts and spirit bodies, and can also be used to set up formations. It is of great help in cultivating spiritual energy and true energy.
