When Qingyi said this, I was immediately shocked and looked at the position of the engineer's shovel.
Yes, a black root has been picked out. The color is quite strange. It is not like the black color of rotten tree roots that are usually buried in the soil for a long time. It is black like pig iron, shiny and shiny, with a metallic color!
There is no doubt that this is the root of the red flag.
Since it has been dug up, the next step is some "fine work". Qingyi began to comb the roots of the red flag. In order to make it easier to burn at night, he used a shovel to dig away all the soil around the roots.
This job was much harder than digging it out, and it was time-consuming and labor-intensive. In a blink of an eye, the sun had already set, and Qingyi had barely cleared half of it. Then we could see the roots of the red flags closely attached to each other, tightly wrapping a coffin inside. With a flashlight shining through the gaps between the roots, we could vaguely see that the coffin board was painted black. The material looked the same as the coffin we dug out before, but with the red flags protecting it, the coffin was well preserved, and the paint didn't fall off at all. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that this coffin was actually made in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and it has been buried underground for nearly 200 years!
"This envy banner does have its merits!"
After seeing this, I couldn't help but say, "If the appearance of this thing doesn't mean bad luck, then it is simply a natural antiseptic method!"
Qingyi didn't respond, looked at the sky, and then said, "Don't dig anymore. Burn the roots and you can pull out the coffin. Let's wait."
I nodded. It was almost seven o'clock. Zhou Jing and Su Su had been gone for almost five hours. I guess it was because it was not easy to get a taxi around here, so they just walked back. That's why they were delayed for so long. But with Qingyi here, I didn't feel afraid even if I stayed under this envy banner. Instead, I chatted with Qingyi.
Qingyi told me that this time he actually left the Tiandao League headquarters quietly to help me under the pretext of traveling, and warned me not to tell anyone about this matter. It was fine for him, but it was of no benefit to me - after all, as the guardian of the entire Shanxi region, I couldn't even solve my own problems, and I had to ask friends for help. Isn't this a sincere joke? I guess if this matter is reported back to the Tiandao League, those who are concerned about this piece of land in Shanxi will use this to make trouble again, and then my position as the guardian of the entire Shanxi region will still be unstable!
Qingyi also took this into consideration, so he found another excuse to leave the Tiandao League. In the final analysis, it was for my sake. Otherwise, with his little Tianshi's Taoism, there is no need to find an excuse. Who in the entire Tiandao League dares to point fingers at him? You know, if the Heavenly Master wants to cause trouble for someone, he has plenty of ways to do it. Even if he doesn't do it himself, he can definitely make that person very happy by just finding some lonely ghosts...
I was secretly moved after listening to this, and talked to Qingyi about some Taoist magics such as the art of summoning gods. Qingyi also taught me everything he knew, which benefited me a lot.
In this way, we chatted until eight o'clock without knowing it. At this time, Susu and Zhou Jing finally took a taxi back. The two of them came straight to us with gasoline barrels, panting with exhaustion.
"Thank you for your hard work."
I thanked Su Su, hesitated for a moment and persuaded her to go back with Zhou Jing first. After all, after burning the red flag, it would be inevitable to fight with the ghost old lady when opening the coffin. The little girl was scared to death by the storyteller last time she followed me. If she met the ghost old lady this time, I don't know how scared she would be. Anyway, Qingyi is here, I don't need their help. It's better to let them avoid it first to avoid unnecessary damage.
"No!"
Who knew that after listening to me, Su Su shook her head and rejected me, and then said seriously: "I am your special nurse now, and I have also received your hiring fee. Logically, I can't leave you. This is my duty!"
What a naive girl, don't you know that in this society, hardworking people struggle at the bottom, and flatterers enjoy the good life?
I shook my head. I couldn't get rid of this persistent girl, so I could only swallow all my words. I discussed with Qingyi and decided to take action immediately. Anyway, the place we are in is so remote that it's luxurious to say that there is no one here, and we are not afraid of being discovered.
Qingyi did it right away. Without saying a word, he took the gasoline barrel and started pouring gasoline on the roots of the red flag tree. The two barrels of gasoline were poured clean in a blink of an eye. Then he stared at the coffin and shouted coldly: "I know you are in it. Do you want to get out now or do I force you to come out?"
No response at all.
Qingyi sneered, struck a match and threw it on the root of the red flag without saying a word. With a "bang", a fire broke out on the root of the tree, and the flames were tens of meters high!
Woo!
What's weird is that when the fire rushed up, the red flag actually made a piercing scream and cry, just like a baby crying.
I had never expected this scene, and I was so scared that I almost jumped up. Su Su and Zhou Jing beside me also turned pale. After all, it was really scary that this big tree suddenly made such a sound!
"It turns out that absorbing Yin Qi has already developed some self-awareness!"
Qing Yi sneered at the raging fire and said, "In this case, I can't keep you anymore. If you absorb more Yin Qi in the future, you may become a tree monster and bring disaster to the world!"
After saying that, Qing Yi took out a piece of yellow paper, bit his middle finger and drew a series of mysterious runes on it. The blood on the middle finger is the essence of the human body. People in the Taoist sect will not use it easily, which is very harmful to the vitality. Now Qing Yi actually used his own essence to draw runes, which shows that this red-eyed banner has indeed absorbed Yin Qi and is about to become a monster.
The talisman was drawn quickly, and Qingyi finished it in the blink of an eye. Then he waved his hand, and the talisman flew straight to the red-eyed banner. It was not hurt at all when it rushed into the sea of fire, and it was directly nailed to the trunk of the tree with the red-eyed banner. For a moment, the screams like a crying baby became louder and louder. A layer of bright red blood flowed on the trunk, which was shocking and looked very scary. The branches on the tree swayed non-stop, as if struggling.
Unfortunately, it was useless!
The talisman that the Heavenly Master used his essence and blood to cast was so powerful that it was impossible for it to break free. In a short while, the red-eyed banner was silent. The fire burned its roots and stems in the blink of an eye. The fire continued to spread to the tree trunk. Unexpectedly, a strong wind suddenly blew around, and the temperature on the wasteland began to drop sharply. The fire on the red-eyed banner was extinguished by the wind. Green smoke curled up from the charred tree stump, and an indescribable stench came to the nose!
Strangely, in such a big fire, the coffin wrapped by the red-eyed banner was not hurt at all!
"Finally you can't help but attack? But, since you've already attacked, why do you still hide in the coffin and dare not come out?"
A cold light flashed in Qingyi's eyes, and he drew out the Quexie sword on his back with a "clang", and rushed to the red flag tree in a few steps. He held the long blade in one hand and stretched out the other hand, bending his fingers into claws, and slapped the lid of the coffin fiercely. With a "snap", his five fingers were like iron claws, directly piercing the coffin lid, and then pulled it out fiercely. The coffin was pulled out horizontally at that time and fell directly less than ten meters away from me. "Bang" fell to the ground fiercely. This fall was not a big deal, and the lid of the coffin flew off directly. I could see the situation inside the coffin clearly.
An old lady in black shroud was lying inside. Her face, hands and other exposed parts were all covered with thick black wax. She was wearing a pair of three-inch-long flower-pot shoes. Judging from her clothes, she was the ghost old lady who had come to my house to torment me twice!
However, what I saw that night should be the ghost of this old lady, and this is her body now!
Just as I was staring at the body in the coffin, the black wax covering its face cracked with a "click", and then the wax skin fell off, revealing half of a wrinkled black and blue face, and then... a layer of white hair more than an inch long grew on the half of the face at a speed visible to the naked eye!
When I saw this scene, I immediately got goose bumps all over my body - damn, the ghost was still hiding in the body, and the body turned into a corpse when the coffin was opened! ?
