It was rare for me to get a good sleep that night. I didn't get much sleep for two nights in a row. It was really exhausting. I didn't get up until nearly noon.

And I didn’t have any dreams that night, and my elder brother didn’t tell me to run away quickly.

I think it's probably because my eldest brother's ghost has been swallowed by the tree demon!

This means that my eldest brother has lost his soul since then! He doesn’t even have a chance to be reincarnated.

And it’s not just my eldest brother, but also my parents, and those who died in the village.

Thinking of this, I felt worried again.

What is this life?

A body full of life and vitality, and a soul that never dissipates after death. Which of the two is the essence of life?

If the soul can reincarnate and be reborn, is the body from life to life just the carrier of the soul?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at my skin, it didn't seem that important anymore!

At that moment, life and death seemed much lighter to me.

Pretend this is an epiphany about life and death!

After lunch, I worked beside Bai Changfeng and prepared for the whole afternoon.

Bai Changfeng drew a lot of talismans and made some paper flags full of talismans. They were not ready until the evening.

After it got dark, Bai Changfeng asked me to find a backpack and put all the necessary items into the backpack. Then he also took the yellow cloth bag he carried with him and went out with me, heading straight to the ancestral tomb in Houshan.

Go to the garden.

Whether it succeeds or not depends on tonight!

I was carrying a heavy backpack, and my heart was pounding.

I thought that if Bai Changfeng was high enough, he would be able to deal with that evil thing.

Naturally, everything will be fine.

But if Bai Changfeng's cultivation was not enough and he failed to get rid of the tree demon but angered it instead, then I'm afraid we would all be buried here!

Not long after, Bai Changfeng and I arrived at the Houshan Ancestor Cemetery.

This time we did not stop at the ancestral cemetery, but went directly through the ancestral cemetery and came to the foot of the peach tree.

Bai Changfeng took off the backpack from my back and began to prepare.

He first inserted the paper money he had prepared earlier around the walnut tree according to the direction, and then used the red line as a guide to connect the paper flags to each other to form a rope loop, surrounding the walnut tree in the middle.

Then Bai Changfeng ordered me to paste all the charms on the surrounding trees. According to his request, a charm was pasted on the trunk of each tree.

There are still a lot of charms left.

Bai Changfeng took out three more paper charms from his arms that were different from the previous charms, overlapped them and pasted them on my back.

According to him, this tree demon has become a thing. When he kills it later, the soul of the tree demon will most likely escape through the surrounding trees, so he used talismans to suppress all the surrounding trees to prevent it from escaping.

Chance.

In addition, the soul of the tree demon may also possess the human body, so I used a spell to suppress my soul so that the tree demon could not take advantage of it.

This way, nothing can be missed.

When everything was ready, Bai Changfeng took out a stick of incense, burned it under the walnut tree, and then took out a prepared kitchen knife from his backpack.

This kitchen knife is the one I use for chopping vegetables, but it has been covered with dense talismans drawn by Bai Changfeng, making it look like a magic weapon.

Bai Changfeng carried the kitchen knife and walked to the foot of the walnut tree. He then took a stance, pinched the formula with his left hand, and recited the incantation.

Then he shouted softly, "Kill the evil spirit with one knife, and the ghosts will not be able to escape."

As the words fell, Bai Changfeng slashed the tree trunk with the kitchen knife in his hand.

At that moment, the branches and leaves on the walnut tree began to shrink and twitch.

It looked very strange, as if what Bai Changfeng was cutting was not a tree, but a living creature. At this time, he was injured by the opponent, and his limbs were twitching in pain.

At the same time, red blood also emerged from the wound on the tree trunk that was cut by the kitchen knife.

Bai Changfeng was unmoved. He kneaded the secrets again and recited the incantation, and then shouted softly, "Kill the soul with two swords, and life and death will rise and fall."

As the words fell, Bai Changfeng struck again.

As soon as the knife slashed down, the entire tree trunk began to tremble violently, and the branches and leaves on the tree made a "squeaking" sound, and countless leaves shook off.

"If you cut yourself with three swords, there will be no way to heaven and no way to the earth."

Bai Changfeng slashed it off again.

The wound on the tree trunk suddenly spurted out blood.

The entire walnut tree also began to wither quickly, turning into a dry old tree in an instant.

But after the blood that spurted out fell to the ground, it began to spread rapidly around, as if trying to escape.

Bai Changfeng remained calm, kneaded the formula in his hand again, and recited the incantation.

"With my divine side, the gathering is ominous, and the twelve heavenly gangs are rising..."

As the words fell, Bai Changfeng took out a charm and threw it out.

The next moment, the paper flags planted on the surrounding ground suddenly burned.

In this way, these paper flags and red ropes seemed to be endowed with magic power. Every time the blood surged close to the rope loop, it was blocked back by an invisible force.

I stood outside the rope circle and watched all this, and my jaw almost dropped in shock!

Such miraculous methods and spells could only be seen in movies before. Unexpectedly, now, I can see it with my own eyes!

This fully proves that Bai Changfeng is indeed an expert.

The blood under the tree clashed with each other for a while, but could not break through the rope loop. Finally, it quickly seeped into the ground and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

When Bai Changfeng saw this, he couldn't help but frowned.

Then he started calculating with his fingers.

"not good."

Bai Changfeng's expression suddenly changed, and he pulled me back quickly.

By the time I reacted, the twelve Tiangang paper flags inserted under the tree had all exploded! Including the paper symbols attached to the surrounding tree trunks, they were also exploded one after another.

Fortunately, the paper charm attached to my back did not explode. Otherwise, even if the explosion didn't hurt me, it would still scare me half to death.

Bai Changfeng kept dragging me out of the ancestral cemetery.

Looking back at this time, I saw that the graves in the ancestral cemetery were broken one after another, and then rotten or withered corpses crawled out of the graves, walking stiffly towards us

Pounced over.

Where have I seen such a scene? If Bai Changfeng hadn't been there to encourage me, I would have fainted from fear on the spot.

"Looks like I miscalculated!"

Bai Changfeng looked at the corpses crawling out of the graves and said solemnly, "It's probably not that the tree spirits sucked the yin and death energy into the climate, but that the tree roots happened to grow into the coffins and were possessed by the evil corpses."

On the tree, and use the tree to penetrate deep into the ground and swallow the soul through the intricate roots. This is the way to gather the soul and seize it, and use the corpse to be reborn."

I thought to myself, why are you talking about this now? Let’s run away quickly?

Bai Changfeng seemed to understand what I was thinking, and sighed and said, "Go back first! It seems that this matter needs to be discussed in the long run!"

As soon as I heard this, I quickly turned around and ran away.

Bai Changfeng followed up slowly.

Look! He doesn't seem to be afraid of the corpses crawling out of the grave.

But I was really scared to death.

Fortunately, those corpses did not chase us out of the ancestral cemetery. They just scared us and then went back!

It wasn't until I was far away from my ancestor's cemetery that my heart calmed down a little.

After this incident, I think I will probably never come to the ancestral cemetery again! I will probably have to skip ancestor worship during the Qingming Festival!

"Sir, is this thing difficult to deal with? If it doesn't work, let's just run away! As long as we leave this village, I don't think it will pursue us."

I was already frightened out of my mind and had long thought of quitting.

After hearing this, Bai Changfeng suddenly glared and said, "I came into the world to deal with the calamity, and it is my duty to drive out evil. Now that I encounter such evil spirits and ghosts that are causing harm to the world, how can I be cowardly and shrink back? Don't worry.

, although this thing is indeed a bit evil, I am confident that I can still deal with it."

Seeing that Bai Changfeng was a little unhappy, I had no choice but to shut up and say no more.

But I only half believed his confidence in being able to clean up that thing.

Bai Changfeng was frowning and thinking secretly along the way, probably thinking of ways to deal with that thing.
Chapter completed!
