Chapter 378 Sacrificial Dryad

Zi Meng You Long
When Zhong Jinliang asked to see the green soul on the sloppy Taoist priest, both of us unavoidably became a little nervous.
This thing, but we two brothers worked hard to get it, it is impossible to give it up so easily.
But this Zhong Jinliang is powerful, we both saw it just now, if we do something, neither of us will have a chance to do it.
But after thinking about it, if he really wanted the green soul on us, he wouldn't have to spend so much trouble. With his strength, he would just grab it.
My intuition tells me that Brother Liang should not be this kind of person.
Just stunned for a moment, the sloppy Taoist priest took out the green soul hidden on his body, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, those old Taoists from Tayun Mountain chased us for this thing, Qin Ling In the deep mountains and old forests, there is a tree demon that has become a climate. Every 20 years or so, it will devour the lives of many living people and suck their blood. All the old Taoists in the mountain have their eyes on the tree demon, and it turned out that our brothers snatched this treasure, so they chased us and never let go."
Zhong Jinliang picked up the green soul that exuded green light, took a closer look, and said: "This thing is made from plants and trees. It seems that it is not very useful for improving people's cultivation, but it can be used to prolong life and make people feel better. It's not bad that wood-attribute instruments have the ability to control the power of plants and trees."
With that said, Zhong Jinliang threw the green soul to the sloppy Taoist priest again.
The sloppy Taoist smiled and said, "Brother Liang, you saved my life and Xiaojie's. Otherwise, let's leave this thing to you, and it will be considered as our repayment for saving our lives."
Hearing what the sloppy Taoist said, I couldn't help but be taken aback. When did this guy become so generous?
Before, he would rather lose his life than give up this green soul.
However, Zhong Jinliang laughed and said: "You kid, you are really a thief. When I said I wanted to see the green soul just now, your face turned pale with fright. If I really keep it, you won't be able to cry. There is no place for regret, take it and take it...don't play this game with me."
Hearing this, the sloppy Taoist priest couldn't help but blushed, smiled, and put away the green soul.
Only then did I understand that the sloppy Taoist priest was playing hard to get. He knew that Zhong Jinliang didn't want this thing, so he gave it to him. In this way, Zhong Jinliang was embarrassed to accept it. These more than 800 tricks are really not covered up.
In this way, the three of us drank for a while, and we all felt a little drunk, and the food and drinks on the table were almost eaten.
Zhong Jinliang got up and said: "You two little brothers, you will stay here for one night today, and leave after breakfast tomorrow. Judging from my many years of experience in the world, those old Taoists in Tayun Mountain will not let you go so easily , although they dare not enter the village, it is possible to wait for you outside the village, so you still have to be prepared for a protracted war, and I can send you away, but in this way, it seems a bit deliberate. I’m watching you, if it spreads out, my reputation is not good, it seems to be too partial to you, saying that my surname Zhong is bullying others.”
"Brother Liang, you don't have to be so polite. We can go on our own at dawn tomorrow. You have already taken good care of us." The slovenly Taoist said politely.
"Well, good boy, you have courage. You have to rely on yourself to break through the rivers and lakes. You can't rely on others all the time. Whether you can escape the entanglement of these Tayunshan veterans depends on your true ability. " Zhong Jinliang said with a smile.
Over there, his wife has packed out a guest room for us and invited us to go and rest.
We thanked our sister-in-law, washed up briefly, and entered the room.
There is a bed in this room and a floor bunk.
The sloppy Taoist priest let me sleep on the bed, and he himself lay on the floor.
Probably because of the alcohol, the slovenly Taoist priest became a little dazed as soon as he lay down, as if he was about to fall asleep soon.
This guy's heart is not usually big, and he can still fall asleep in this situation.
I sat on the bed, kicked him, and said, "Don't go to bed first, kid, I still have something to ask you."
The sloppy Taoist said sleepily: "Is there anything else you want to know, haven't I told you everything?"
"You bastard, you must know everything, you deliberately tricked me into being your gunman, right?" I said angrily.
The sloppy Taoist sat up straight away, looked at me and said, "Little Jie, it's not right for you to say that. We are good brothers, so we should help each other. When we dealt with the snake spirit back then, the snake spirit with 400 years of Taoism was killed by you." The eight-tailed fox in the body was swallowed, and to deal with the zombie king, the corpse pill was also swallowed by you kid, and Ruan Na in the ghost building, good guy... was also sealed by you with the Tiangang seal, and it will definitely be destroyed in the future. It can be used by you, I invite you to help me get a green soul, no problem?"
"No problem is definitely no problem. I have no objection to this, but can you tell me in advance? Whether it is the tree demon or the dozen or so veterans of Tayun Mountain, it is difficult to deal with. The two lives are gone, so I can be mentally prepared, right?" I said.
"Get ready, everything is in my plan, you just need to go up and do it, it's guaranteed to be safe." The sloppy Taoist said carelessly.
"Safety? Why do you have the nerve to say these words? Back then you were sealed in the tree hole by the tree demon. If I hadn't saved you, you would have been sucked into a mummified corpse by the tree demon. And those old Taoists If we are not careful, we will be killed, this is too risky." I said.
The sloppy Taoist smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Isn't everything all right, nothing wrong." "
"Tell me the truth, is it also in your plan for us to go to this Zhongjia Village?" I asked.
"That's right, this is the only way we can stop the old Daoist of Tayun Mountain. I already knew Brother Liang lived here, and he is also part of my plan." Now the sloppy Taoist priest became honest.
"What happened to that headless bride returning those paper figurines?" I asked.
"I heard that, more than a thousand years ago, this tree was considered a sacred tree by the people of the Qinling Mountains. At that time, in order to pray for good weather and a good harvest, people would often sacrifice to the demon tree. First, they sacrificed livestock. , and later directly sacrificed the living people, married a young woman to the sacred tree, and burned many paper figurines. The young woman was brought to the side of the sacred tree wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei, and her head was cut off directly. The blood was poured on the tree demon, and the body was buried under the big tree, so that the soul of the sacrificed woman merged with the tree demon..."
This thing, but we two brothers worked hard to get it, it is impossible to give it up so easily.
But this Zhong Jinliang is powerful, we both saw it just now, if we do something, neither of us will have a chance to do it.
