Chapter 066: The Legacy of the Dryad
Ni Kun still has some doubts to ask:
"Qingxuan, why can you control so many magical instruments without seeming to be exhausted?"
Shi Qingxuan smiled and said:
“Because these magical instruments are not that difficult to control.
“The Golden Buddha has been enshrined in the Wenshu Monastery in Chengdu for many years, and has been blessed by the wishes of believers all year round. I only need to guide it with the Buddhist mind method and channel the condensed wishes, without having to pay much myself.
"The sword box can generate a sword energy every day, and can accumulate a thousand sword energies in a maximum of a thousand days.
"The sword energy is usually stored in the box. The longer it is nurtured, the greater its power. When it is needed, I only need to open the sword box, release and guide the sword energy to attack the enemy. My own consumption is not much.
“As for the jade talisman, it is placed in a place with frequent thunder and lightning during a rainy day, so that it can guide the thunder into the talisman and seal it up.
“When using it, you only need to spend a little bit of true energy to guide it, and you can release the previously sealed heavenly thunder to kill the demon.
"Well, this time I'm going to use all my best skills.
"The Golden Buddha and the Sword Box are fine. After using them, the Golden Buddha can be placed in a temple with a lot of incense and worshipped. It will absorb the power of the believers and slowly restore its power. The Sword Box can also generate sword energy on its own. After two or three years, it will have thousands of sword energies.
"But there is only one jade talisman. Once you use it, there will be no more!"
Ni Kun raised his eyebrows:
"Qingxuan, you told me all your secrets. Aren't you afraid that I will get greedy and steal your treasure?"
Shi Qingxuan's eyes widened: "Will you be able to snatch it?"
Ni Kun smacked his lips and shook his head: "No."
"I knew you wouldn't." Shi Qingxuan said with a smile, "I'm very good at judging people."
After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the charred tree stump:
"We have to check to see if the tree demon is really dead."
At this time, she had her back to Ni Kun and had no intention of guarding against Ni Kun behind her.
Ni Kun didn't know where she got such confidence from, she was so sure that he would not have any bad intentions towards her.
Of course he really had no ill intentions.
But girl, isn't it a bit bad for you to trust your own eyesight so much?
Are handsome guys necessarily good people?
If he looks handsome, he could be the type of person like Yang Kang, Ouyang Ke, or Bian Bufu!
Not every handsome guy is as honest and kind as me.
Complaining in his heart, Ni Kun shook his head helplessly and followed.
Shi Qingxuan came to the tree stump, took out a piece of ordinary talisman paper from her pouch and stuck it on the stump.
After a while, seeing that the talisman paper had not changed, she nodded with satisfaction and said to Ni Kun with a smile:
"It seems that the tree demon is indeed dead."
Ni Kun shook his head:
"No. The tree is big and its roots are deep. The tree demon is so huge, and its roots are so deep underground. Maybe there is a trace of life hidden underground."
As he spoke, he projected a two-handed sword, swung it like an axe, and chopped at the tree stump, shaving off the outer charcoal layer to reveal the white core of the tree.
Then he swung his sword and drilled in the core of the tree until he had made a hole more than five feet deep in the ground. Then he took out the clear yellow flying sword from the mustard seed ring, swung it with his backhand, and calmly cut his palm, which was difficult to penetrate by ordinary swords and knives. He clenched his fist and squeezed it, and hot blood splashed and dripped into the hole in the core of the tree.
There was no change at first.
But after a while, when the hot blood slowly seeped into the wood at the bottom of the hole, there was a sudden bang, and a flame, like a fountain, spurted out from the bottom of the hole that was more than five feet deep.
It was the collision between the evil spirit's yin energy and Ni Kun's yang energy that ignited his fiery bloodline!
As the core of the tree spewed fire and exploded, the ground beneath the feet of the two people also shook violently. A thick tree root broke out of the ground with a shrill wailing sound, and slapped and rolled on the ground like a giant python, causing the ground to shake and send sand and rocks flying.
“They are not completely dead yet!”
Shi Qingxuan's face changed slightly. He took out the sword box and released the last hundred or so sword energies, piercing the thick tree roots.
Under the piercing sword energy, hundreds of large holes burst out of the tree roots, and dirty juice like black blood flowed out.
Shi Qingxuan took out another stack of ordinary talisman paper and shouted, "Exorcist order! Quick!"
The talisman paper was scattered all over the sky, and it flew to the roots of the tree and exploded violently.
The roots of the tree suddenly twitched violently like snakes, and black smoke billowed out of the surface.
Ni Kun did not stand idly by either. Flames ignited on his palms and he threw out fireballs repeatedly, which landed on the tree roots and caused a series of explosions.
The two of them worked together and after a while, they tore the thick tree root into pieces.
Finally, the thickest part of the root suddenly split open, revealing a strange wooden head with hair covered in dense tentacle-like roots.
"The Black Mountain Demon...will avenge me!"
The head glared at Ni Kun and Shi Qingxuan resentfully with a pair of wooden eyes covered with growth rings, then exploded with a bang and turned completely into ashes.
"Black Mountain Old Demon?" Shi Qingxuan was startled: "Could there be another demon?"
Ni Kun concentrated and was on guard for a while, until the flames from the hole in the tree stump gradually died down, and he didn't see any other movement. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"This tree demon is bluffing."
Although the Black Mountain Demon is powerful, it may not have "traveled" through time.
Besides, the Black Mountain Old Demon is the ghost king of the underworld, and the Tree Demon Grandma is a demon from the world of the living. Even if both of them traveled through time, they may not be in the same place.
After being on guard for a while and seeing no sign of the Black Mountain Old Demon attacking, Ni Kun gradually felt relieved and went forward to check it out. He even squeezed out some blood again to make sure that there was no trace of demonic energy left on the tree stump. Then he nodded to Shi Qingxuan.
At this point, the tree demon has been eradicated and has no chance of making a comeback.
Shi Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Ni Kun:
"Thanks to you, otherwise, I would have been fooled by this tree demon's fake death."
Ni Kun smiled and said:
"In fact, even if the tree demon is not eradicated, its main body was destroyed by the thunder, leaving only the roots. Its vitality is seriously damaged. I am afraid it will take hundreds of years to recuperate before it can come out to cause trouble again."
As he was speaking, his nostrils suddenly moved slightly and he smelled a strange fragrance.
This fragrance is extremely fresh and moving, giving people a vibrant feeling. Just a sniff of it will make you feel refreshed, your pores dilated, and your whole body filled with an indescribable sense of relaxation and comfort.
"This is……"
Ni Kun's heart moved, and he followed the fragrance to a hole in the ground where the tree roots cracked. He jumped down the hole and saw that the fragrance was coming from a thick tree root that had been burnt.
He took out the Chenghuang Flying Sword, split the coke in half, and dug out a thumb-sized piece of something that was crystal clear, like a flawless jade, yet soft to the touch, like a strange thing like fat.
That strange and refreshing fragrance emanates from this strange thing.
As Ni Kun took out this thing, the fragrance became stronger and filled the surroundings. Many grass seedlings quickly grew on the ground around him, stretching their branches and leaves and growing vigorously at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What's this?"
Shi Qingxuan was also attracted by the fragrance. She saw the grass and trees growing rapidly around her. Some of the fast-growing grasses even had tiny wild flowers blooming. She was stunned for a moment:
"How could this be?"
