Brother, this showman

Song Jihua was confused by Ye Wenqing's words, and unconsciously lowered his voice: "Could it be that this tree has become a spirit?"

Ye Wenqing couldn't help laughing at Song Jihua's words, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times, thinking: "I haven't seen this fool for so many years, is there grass growing on his head? It's hard work for Sect Master Chen to have such an apprentice."

Seeing that Ye Wenqing remained silent, Song Jihua thought he was right, and his expression became a little subtle for a moment, and he walked around the tree trunk a few times.

"Turn left three times, turn right three times, and then yell to drive!" Ye Wenqing touched his chin.

Song Jihua did it without hesitation, but Ye Wenqing stopped him when he was about to turn around for the second time.

"Brother Song! I just said it casually." Ye Wenqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Song Jihua looked aggrievedly at Ye Wenqing, who couldn't help laughing, a little exhausted, Brother Wenqing, it's useless for me to treat you as a brother.

Ye Wenqing approached and patted him on the shoulder, suppressing a smile: "Brother Song, you are so cute."

Song Jihua: "..."

I also want to make you cute again.

After teasing Song Jihua a bit, the tense atmosphere was diluted a bit.

Ye Wenqing locked his eyes on this tree again.

Unlike some bare trees around, the leaves on this tree are as emerald green as green.Under the sunlight, it is bright and shining.

The trunk is also smooth, with no sign of falling off.People often use bark to describe other people's poor skin, but this bark is better than many people's skin, it's slippery, I don't know how it feels to the touch.

As soon as this idea popped up, Ye Wenqing reached out and touched the tree trunk.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, the leaves on the top of the tree shook together and made a rustling sound.

Ye Wenqing withdrew his hand, stared wide-eyed, looked at the fingertips in disbelief, and rubbed them gently, as if he could still feel the residual temperature on the tree trunk, just like...a human, with a hint of elasticity.

This thought made Ye Wenqing's heart tremble, and he quickly took a few steps back.

"What's wrong?" Feng Lianchen supported Ye Wenqing, followed his gaze to look at the tree trunk, "But what did you find?"

"Junior brother, come and touch it." Ye Wenqing didn't believe in evil, grabbed Feng Lianchen's hand and approached the tree trunk, just when his fingers were about to touch the tree trunk, a strange thing happened suddenly.

All the leaves on the tree fell off in an instant, just like sifting beans, and the surrounding leaves fell together.

The emerald-like green leaves that I used to sigh all turned bright red, and it was as if they were dyed red when laid on the ground.

But this beautiful scenery did not attract people's attention, because all these leaves turned into liquid in an instant. It flowed like blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I would have taken it as blood.

The rope tied to the tree trunk also began to fall off automatically with a snap, revealing traces of being covered.

It was a human face!It is vaguely recognizable as a woman's appearance, with exquisite and small features, and a pair of distant eyes with empty eyes under the eyebrows, and the infinite stories are like a faint black hole, no one tells them.

Ye Wenqing looked around, the tree trunks were full of human faces, without exception, they were all beautiful-faced women.

"Brother Wenqing." Song Jihua's hoarse voice came from behind him, "This is Beauty Forest, we have entered someone else's circle of wealth."

"Beauty Forest?" Ye Wenqing frowned, "The name really fits."

"This is a kind of sorcery called 'Yan Zhuang'." Song Jihua's eyes gradually deepened, and he said in a deep voice, "If the family's luck is not good, they will use all kinds of methods to change their own luck." Yan Zhuang 'That's how it came about. The women who are suitable for marriage are selected, and the more the better. They are all asked to put on costumes and pour the most powerful poison in the world. From the beginning to the end, they can't cry, they can only keep smiling , otherwise their family members will die together. This can probably be described as smiling Jiuquan."

"Even if they die, they can't get rid of it. Their skins are cruelly peeled off, and then they are nailed to the so-called sacred trees and planted in the soil together. The forest guards carefully water them with the blood collected early. These trees cannot grow It must be too strong, but not too thin, it must be long enough to support the beauty's skin. The better the beauty forest grows, the better the family's luck will be in the future."

"Does anyone believe such a stupid idea?" Ye Wenqing sighed.

"It's the end of the road. If you don't get in trouble, everything is vain." Song Jihua sighed softly, "It's better to treat a dead horse as a living horse than a medicine stone without a cure. The right is to give yourself a hope of living, otherwise everything will go wrong." How can people survive in a dark future? It’s better to be self-deceiving than to be sober, at least thinking about the future.”

"Which family used it?" Ye Wenqing's expression gradually became serious.

"A lot." Song Jihua sneered, "It's just that the planting is so few that no one has discovered it. It's not as good as this large area of ​​planting."

Looking around, all eyes are human faces.

How many women should be sacrificed to fulfill the so-called illusory destiny?

"Liyang country." Feng Lianchen said softly.

"Huh?" Ye Wenqing came back to his senses, and looked at Feng Lianchen puzzledly, "What is it?"

Feng Lianchen looked into Ye Wenqing's eyes and said word by word: "When the second generation of the Liyang Kingdom was still the prince, he planted a large area of ​​beautiful forests to protect the country, which is unprecedented. If we guessed correctly, we The place where it is located should be the former site of Liyang Kingdom."

"Him?" A trace of disdain flashed in Ye Wenqing's eyes, "The one who has been the emperor for ten days still planted a beauty forest? I'm afraid he was backlashed."

Although immortal cultivators don't care about worldly affairs, this king is notorious. There is no one who is an 80-year-old old woman and a three-year-old child who doesn't know anything. He only has ideas, no courage, and only knows to rely on others when things happen.In the end, he finally became the emperor, but ten days later, he was dragged to the gate of the city by the enemy and beheaded.Therefore, this king has also become a negative teaching material for educating contemporary students.

Wen Yu also used him to teach Yan Rantai's disciples, but later she simply didn't use him because of disdain.

"I heard everyone talking about it in Huamanting before." Feng Lianchen said, "In the end, Liyang Kingdom was destroyed and Beauty Forest was destroyed. It seems that this is not the case."

The more evil things are, the more people believe them. People's hearts are the hardest thing in the world to pry into.

"It doesn't matter what the truth is, as long as people want to believe it, it's true."

Even though such absurd things, there are still people who flock to them and believe in them.

Feng Lianchen seemed to think of something, his eyes darkened slightly, and the hands hanging on both sides tightened secretly.

"Don't be afraid." Seeing his expression changed, Ye Wenqing presumably felt upset when he saw this, raised his hand to rub his head, and comforted him softly.

"Senior brother." Feng Lianchen grabbed Ye Wenqing's hand and placed his head on his shoulder.

Ye Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and reached out to pat him on the back comfortingly, feeling like she had brought a son out.

The appearance of the brothers and sisters here made Song Jihua jealous. He wanted to find a place to rest his feet, but when he saw the dark holes in his eyes, his scalp went numb, and his originally drowsy consciousness immediately woke up.

At that time, the quiet forest made a small sound, which was infinitely magnified in the empty mountains and fields, carrying a frightening coolness.

"Tick!"

The red water under my feet stopped at some point, and it was solidified with the soil.

When the three of them were looking for the source of the voice, their eyes were all attracted by the crooked figure in front of them.

Presumably he was the old man that Mahoujiu and the others were talking about.

The old man bent over, lowered his head and knelt on the ground with his back facing them, chanting words, with ticking sounds from time to time.

Looking up following the sound, I saw red water drops suddenly oozing from the bare treetops, dripping straight on the old man's back, dizzying the blossoming red plums.

"Old man?" Ye Wenqing called out bravely, but the old man ignored it and kept mumbling.

The three of them didn't even think about going forward to have a look. After all, they weren't sure if the old man was a human being, and if it was transformed by some evil spirit, it would be a waste of money.

Feng Lianchen threw a talisman and stuck it behind the old man.

The talisman has not changed.

Feng Lianchen paused, and asked Ye Wenqing with his eyes.

Ye Wenqing held Qingshuang tightly, and was about to step forward when a black shadow rushed to the old man even faster than him, and wrapped his arms around his shoulders very familiarly. , The screams exploded instantly.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" Ma Houjiu waved his arms and wanted to push the old man away, but his hands were already tightly grasped, so he had no choice but to lift his feet to kick.

"Is this person mentally ill?" Ye Wenqing said without doubt, "Isn't it better to hide in the back? I have to rush into the fire."

Ma Houjiu is also miserable now, if he knew earlier, he shouldn't be a hero.He has been lying in the grass behind to observe the movement here. He has heard about the beautiful forest, but he never expected to see it with his own eyes. This knowledge dilutes the panic in his heart a bit.

Among the five of them, he was the one who had seen the most about Horse Monkey Wine, so he also wanted to use this time to strengthen his prestige.When all the changes had calmed down, he thought the matter was over, and the old man he had seen before had also appeared, but Ye Wenqing and the others never stepped forward.He was impatient at the side, only thinking that if he rushed to save the old man this time, he would become famous.

When Ma Houjiu rushed up, he wanted to show off his three-legged cat kung fu, and put his hands on the old man's shoulders to lift him up from the ground, but the old man suddenly turned his head, his face was completely gone, only A boney skull.The empty eyeholes are staring at him, the corners of his mouth are slowly grinning, and his mouth is chattering.

"Heroes! Oh no, all immortal masters, help!" Ma Houjiu broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and really didn't dare to look at this ghost, so he closed his eyes and screamed, "I haven't married a wife yet I haven’t given birth to a son yet, and I haven’t even held a girl’s hand! I can’t just die as a great young man, and I haven’t even picked up the clothes that Xiaoyu said she sewed for me! Immortal Master, save me! Help me! I still have so many wishes unfulfilled, I will not rest in peace if I die!"

Ye Wenqing listened to Ma Houjiu's non-stop chatter, and those who didn't know thought he was telling his last words.

"Master Immortal!" Ma Houjiu's voice changed again, and something cold was pasted on his back. He was frightened out of his wits, rolled his eyes, and passed out directly.

The ears were finally cleared up, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
