Chapter 5 The Woman in the Painting

Ye Xiaoyu learned about the location of digging tree roots from her third aunt, and we drove there immediately.

When we arrived at the place, we found that it was formerly an earthen coal kiln. The earthen coal kiln controls Yin in the Five Elements. It is a place that normal people should not come to.

After Ye Xiaoyu and I carried the tree roots underground, he asked me, "Does this count as returning it?"

I looked inside the coal kiln.

"No. I'll go in and you wait for me outside."

If my guess is correct, the master who caused the Ye family to suffer is hiding in this coal kiln.

I walked inside and saw that the coal kiln was dark, narrow, and extremely deep.

"Is there a snake? You must pay attention to the danger!" Ye Xiaoyu warned.

I faced the outside and said, "Yes, I understand."

But in my heart, I feel like a mirror, there is a master here, and no matter how hard these snakes, insects, rats, and ants think about it, they don’t dare to come in and cause trouble.

As soon as I stood in the coal kiln, the words Tang Baifan said before suddenly rang in my ears.

"Haicheng is not peaceful recently, so don't meddle in other people's business..."

Thinking of this, I felt calm in my heart. Tang Baifan's instructions may not be groundless!

There are a lot of debris piled up in the coal kiln. If you look carefully, you can see that there is order in the chaos.

There was hay and some mason jars, all old items.

There is a small opening on the innermost earthen wall.

I put my hand into the socket and fiddled with it gently. The dust scattered in front of it, and a portrait of a woman fell from it.

There is also an upside-down tablet placed in the pit below.

There are several circular pits around the rankings.

This looks like the original location of those tree pits.

"Eight trees stand in the green pine, and the road is closed to attract ghosts. This Ye Laosan is very visionary, and he actually moved the roots of the tree that has suppressed ghosts for thousands of years!"

I frowned, thinking that if this monster suddenly attacked, I might not be able to defeat it!

Just then, the painting moved!

I saw the woman in the painting suddenly facing me and smiling strangely.

Those who can use the roots of the Tuye tree as parsnips are no ordinary ghosts.

I quickly and respectfully performed a Taoist salute and said, "Senior, please be considerate of me. Future generations don't know that my senior is really here..."

At this moment, suddenly, my eyes went dark.

Just when I thought that this monster had no martial virtues and suddenly took action, and I was about to start making a hand seal, my eyes became cold again.

There was a thin woman sitting in front of me.

"I have been practicing Buddhism for more than five hundred years, and today I finally met a person with a good eye. Not bad."

"Senior, I see that you are also a person of high integrity. A few days ago, the Ye family touched the roots of your tree. Can you be gentle and let him go?" I asked tentatively.

Problems that can be solved with kind words are better left without action.

The woman smiled: "Let him go? That's a big statement. I never complained to him. It's too late to thank him, hehehe."

What she said was not quite right.

Regardless of whether it is a person or a demon, as long as you are disturbed in your practice, your character will change drastically. If you are disturbed by someone during your practice, it is very likely that your practice will fail and you will become possessed!

The only person who can still talk to me with a smile after being disturbed...that's only one possibility!

She is not a cultivator whose clear dreams were disturbed!

She should be an evil ghost who was sealed here!

"Ye Xiaoyu! The tree roots are pushing in from the hole!" I shouted in the direction I came from.

Fingers clasped together, ready to respond at any time.

If you guessed correctly, the tree root should be what seals this monster!

Why didn’t I think of that!

I wanted to slap myself hard.

The mountains in this place are aligned, which means tall buildings are built on the flat ground, in order to suppress the evil ghosts and monsters living here! This tree was originally five and six, and it was always going to overpower this monster! But now, because of Uncle Ye Xiaoyu's third uncle,

, the wooden formation is broken!

The wooden formation is broken, the Yin Qi comes out, and the ghost's seal has been loosened!

Fortunately, the direction of the terrain was designed to suppress this ghost. The terrain has not changed, and the seal can still hold up for a few more days...

While I was staring at the woman warily, Ye Xiaoyu had already rolled the tree roots in for me. I quickly held the roots and filled the tree hole on the ground.

Seeing this, the female ghost's ghostly voice rippled in the empty coal mine: "I originally thought you were a man of vision, but I didn't expect that you, a boy, also have a dull head!

It can be seen that you are a Taoist priest, and I have been sealed for hundreds of years. If you can completely break my seal, it will be your benefit when the time comes."

benefit?

My grandpa has told me since I was a child that if I can’t believe such ghosts, they are born to be deceivers. If I believe them, I will be the one who dies without a burial place!

"You used other people's lifespan as an excuse to absorb other people's anger into your own body. You have violated the taboo of human ghosts! It's wrong for Third Uncle Ye Xiaoyu to like petty gains! But if you hadn't been tempted, how could he

Maybe I would go to this remote place for a few tree roots!"

I can see that all this is the trick of the female ghost!

"Tsk, he came here on his own. We are at best willing to fight or suffer. How come you, the master, like to...put random hats on my head?" the female ghost snorted coldly.

"You lied to him, why are you willing to fight or endure him? If I hadn't discovered him, would you have absorbed all the energy and inheritance of the Ye family through the roots of the tree and used it for your own

The power to break the seal?! Do you know that if you do this, the entire Ye family may be killed by you!"

I yelled angrily.

If the spiritual veins are connected, either the lifespan of the living person will be exhausted, otherwise, the ghost-human vein will be difficult to cut off!

Ye Xiaoyu heard my yelling, and she quickly asked from the entrance of the coal mine: "Liu Yongqing, are you in trouble?"

The female ghost raised her head and looked at me with a smile: "We are indeed in trouble."

I felt bad, so I quickly pulled out a kitchen knife from my backpack. The moment I pulled out the knife, I heard a sound: "Hang——!" It turned out to be the sound of metal tapping!

The female ghost curled her lips: "I didn't expect that a kid like you would react quite quickly..."

At this point, she had something else to say. Suddenly, she saw the words on my kitchen knife.

"Are you the Liu family's credit card holder?!"

Her expression changed instantly.

"With such a yin fate, why did you become a knife dealer?!"

Hearing this, I was unhappy: "Why can't Yin Ming be a credit card holder?"

She frowned, as if she didn't want to get entangled with me on this topic, and quickly changed the topic: "You want to save the Ye family boy, right?"

I frowned, but my mind was not on the third uncle of the Ye family. I wanted to know what this female ghost was hiding?
