After kicking this thing into Tianmo's waist bag, Qin Yuesheng immediately left the yamen and returned to the inn.
Because of the inexplicable deaths of four believers, the rest of the White Lotus believers followed Qin Yuesheng's orders and bought exorcism items from the street. They then stayed in the inn together and dared not go out. This saved Qin Yuesheng a lot of trouble.
When they saw Qin Yuesheng coming back, these White Lotus Sect members immediately came forward to greet him.
"All of you go back to the boat and sail it to the middle of the river. Don't dock before sunrise tomorrow morning," Qin Yuesheng ordered.
Although his orders were very strange, the believers obeyed them immediately.
Ning Houbo said that at night, the people in Antong County would lose their memories, and when they woke up the next day, they would have no memory of what happened the previous night.
This matter was very strange, so Qin Yuesheng planned to stay here for another night to see what the situation was.
Thinking of the mysterious deaths of the four White Lotus sect members that morning, Qin Yuesheng believed that this matter must be closely related to the people of Antong County.
night.
Qin Yuesheng sat cross-legged on the roof of the inn, quietly looking down at the street below. At night, the people of Antong County had already returned to their houses to sleep. The entire county was extremely quiet, and there was not a single person in sight.
At midnight, the streets suddenly became lively. Figures with black hair and white clothes walked out of every household. They floated on the streets and moved in the same direction.
Qin Yuesheng's heart moved. He knew that direction was exactly the center of the county, where the big tree with dense branches and leaves like a sliding cover was.
Qin Yuesheng was curious, so he used the Xiaoyaoyoutian method to jump into the sky and followed the figures on the street below towards the big tree.
At night, the big trees, whether branches or leaves, are emitting very strange light sources, and green light balls are floating up and down around the trees like bubbles.
Qin Yuesheng used his blue pupil to zoom in and took a look, and was shocked to find that among these light balls were wailing human faces.
All the figures gathered beside the big tree and sat down one by one, and soon the nearby ground was filled with people.
Qin Yuesheng found a roof to land on and began to look around carefully.
It was unusually quiet and no one spoke.
Suddenly, a powerful suction force burst out from the big tree and instantly turned into a green wind that blew across the surroundings. Every figure that was blown by this wind would have a ball of white light floating above their heads and then merge into the big tree.
Without the white light, the bodies of these figures instantly became much dimmer, as if they might disappear on the spot at any time.
"Not enough, not enough. These are far from enough. You need to go and plunder more vitality for me. Otherwise, when the next catastrophe comes, it will be useless even if I use the human luck formation." A voice suddenly came from the tree. Qin Yuesheng was surprised when he heard it. This tree can actually speak.
Under Qin Yuesheng's gaze, an old face slowly emerged on the surface of the tree. As soon as the face appeared, four branches grabbed four green light balls from the side and sent them to his mouth.
Qin Yuesheng took a look and saw that the faces in the four light balls were the four White Lotus Sect members who were found dead in the well this morning.
The face on the big tree opened its mouth wide, swallowed the four light balls directly into its mouth, and began to chew them like a human.
"Last time, Ancestor Huai was hit by a catastrophe from the heavenly fire. Although he sacrificed the people of Antong County to create the human luck formation, he was still seriously injured. Now he urgently needs to consume a large amount of vitality to heal his wounds. So many new people came to the town yesterday. Why didn't you catch them all and take their vitality to offer to Ancestor Huai?" At this moment, a squirrel climbed down from the top of a big tree, stood on a tree root exposed above the ground, and shouted to the figures around him.
The squirrel had smooth fur all over its body, and stood with its hands on its hips and legs raised like a human. It looked very funny.
Hearing what he said, the elder immediately asked, "A stranger has come to Antong County?"
"Yes, Ancestor Huai, there are a lot of them. If you can absorb all the vitality from them, your injuries will definitely be able to recover a lot." The squirrel laughed, shaking its tail.
"Where are those people now?" Dashu shouted excitedly with his eyes wide open.
A figure responded, "Old Ancestor, those people have strong blood and energy. We can't get close to them during the day. At night, the Yuan Yang energy of one of them is too strong, covering a large area. We can't get close either. We can only kill four strangers far away from that area and take their vitality to offer to you."
Qin Yuesheng thought to himself that those White Lotus Sect members were all martial artists, so it was normal for them to have strong blood and energy.
"Where are those strangers now?" asked the big tree.
A figure said, "We have left Antong County and are now on a boat in the middle of the river."
"Go and catch them!"
"yes."
The group of people suddenly became agitated, quickly dispersed, and soon disappeared from Qin Yuesheng's sight.
"This tree has long since become a spirit, and has even reached the point where it can attract a calamity of heavenly fire to destroy it. It can be seen that it is quite powerful. However, it cannot resist on its own, and has used the lives of the people of Antong County as shields to forcibly block the calamity of heavenly fire." Qin Yuesheng immediately understood the entire situation of the changes in Antong County.
Those people in Antong County who should have died were probably turned into a half-human, half-ghost appearance by this big tree in some unknown way, in order to collect vitality for it to heal its wounds.
Qin Yuesheng raised the Demonic Evil Blade. The tree demon was injured at the moment, so he could fight it.
"Ancestor Huai, if you can absorb the vitality of another 300 people, once your injuries recover, you won't have to stay in this place anymore. The world will be yours for the taking." The squirrel said to the tree, clasping his fists. His movements seemed particularly anthropomorphic.
