Chapter 112 Struggling to Save the Village
The past scenes passed by before their eyes, like a fleeting glimpse of the life of the village chief and the banyan tree.
"Why have you become like this?" asked the village chief.
"Because the Banxian Qiao you found is not a good person. He set up a strange formation here and turned me into a ghost tree. I was transforming the corpses here and turning them into monsters... I couldn't control myself during that time until he came here again some time ago and took away the bone in my tree hole." said the banyan tree.
"I don't know if he will come again, but if he does, I still won't be able to control myself and will hurt the villagers here." Rongshu's tone was very sad.
When it was planted here, it was obviously expected to bring shade and shelter to the villagers, but as time went by, the world's coincidences never cease, and it actually became an indispensable link in Qiao Banxian's process of murdering the villagers.
After hearing this, the village chief fell into a long silence.
He also didn't expect that his action of relocating graves to protect the villagers was actually part of Qiao Banxian's plan, and he became the executioner of Huaishui Village.
After a long time, the village chief raised his hunched body and asked the banyan tree: "As long as we destroy those formations, it shouldn't cause any harm to others, right?"
The banyan tree said: "I have tried using vines these days. Those formations have been given a lot of protective measures, many of which are specifically designed to guard against me... I can't get in."
The village chief's old face full of ravines, his cloudy eyes lit up: "You can't, but I can."
"The ghostly aura around there is very fierce. It's not something an ordinary ghost like you can get close to," said the banyan tree.
"Then...then turn me into the thing you described. If I can preserve my soul and turn into that thing, I should be able to destroy those formations." The village chief said without hesitation.
The banyan tree thought that he was such a great village chief who could always think of ways to solve problems.
In this way, the banyan tree, while remaining conscious, took several years to transform the village chief, turning him into a water corpse with self-awareness.
But as a price, he could no longer reincarnate and could only be trapped in this corpse.
The banyan tree also told the village chief the price, but the village chief just used his hands and feet, which were still able to move freely, and said happily: "My joints seem to have become more flexible. They are much stronger than when I died."
The village chief entered the formation that the banyan tree had mentioned, which was buried deep around the accumulated water, and destroyed the things there as he wished.
The flooded area lasted for a period of time.
During that time, the village chief would occasionally take advantage of funeral ceremonies to secretly visit his middle-aged son.
But he had no contact with the other party. He didn't want his son to be contaminated by the evil spirit in him, which would not be a good thing.
Many years passed, and just when the banyan tree and the village chief thought that everything would be peaceful, a young girl with ordinary looks but madness in her eyes came here. She officially started the nightmare of Huaishui Village.
The girl quickly restored the formation that the banyan tree and the village chief had spent years planning to destroy.
The magic used by the girl named Bai Yu is similar to that of Qiao Banxian, but her methods are more ruthless than his. She seems to have a different physique from Qiao Banxian and is closer to humans. So after trapping the village chief, she opened a hole in the banyan tree by drilling open the trunk little by little with an electric drill.
The banyan tree's painful groans and the village chief's helpless despair really pleased her mood. Bai Yu even recorded those sounds and played them as her wake-up ringtone.
After a long period of torture, after making a large enough tree hole, Bai Yu put the green bone into the tree hole.
The banyan tree completely lost its mind and began to transform new water corpses. None of the villagers' bodies escaped. The village chief was also restricted by Bai Yu and could not enter the village to harass the villagers like other water corpses.
Villagers began to die one after another due to coincidence, or they were chosen by water corpses and brought to waterlogged areas, where they were filled with juice and became new water corpses.
The souls of those villagers were completely absorbed by the banyan tree. Unlike the village chief, who had a soul, their bodies were very stiff and their movements were unified.
The will of the banyan tree that became a ghost tree is their will.
The village chief watched as the people he wanted to protect became less and less human before his eyes, but he was unable to stop them or the banyan tree.
The banyan tree no longer recognized him and only regarded him as an uncontrollable water corpse. It even wanted to catch him and occupy his soul, turning him into something like the other water corpses.
The village chief had no choice but to hide in a cave filled with weasel corpses. He only dared to sneak out at night during the water festival to see if he could try his luck and meet someone sober.
That night, as soon as he came out, he saw Mu Xingchen and a weasel holding a strange object. After confirming that Mu Xingchen was not controlled by the banyan tree, he immediately decided to seek help and tell the truth.
After listening to the old village chief's complicated story, Mu Xingchen held back the tears in his eyes, and then said: "Don't worry, although I am a rookie, my master is very powerful. He will definitely be able to protect the remaining villagers in the village and solve the problems here!"
The weasel realized that he had met his father's father this time, and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Grandpa, his master is really powerful, he can beat me up in one blow."
The old village chief nodded repeatedly and responded continuously, thinking that Mu Xingchen's master must be an old immortal with a sage-like appearance and white hair and beard.
As for the weasel? The old village chief didn't know the origin of the name "Grandpa" and couldn't help but look at the weasel again, thinking that the weasel was quite polite.
[Ahhhhhh, this village is too miserable. The whole village is so miserable.]
[The banyan tree is miserable, the village chief is miserable, the villagers are miserable...even the weasel is a little miserable, and the chicken is miserable too]
[The tree that was planted for the villagers turned out to be a knife that killed them]
[I cried after hearing this]
[Gugu must help them!] 】
[Xiao Mu has a relatively correct understanding of himself. When he said that his master was amazing, his expression was very proud.]
[It’s understandable that Mu Xingchen was bragging, but what you said, Weasel… I was crying so hard that snot bubbles came out of my nose, and after hearing what you said, I almost laughed to death on my snot.]
[+1, I'm so happy that I'm laughing so hard]
[The wolf is really crying. It really wants to be the village chief's daughter-in-law. Now it calls the old village chief "grandpa"]
Mu Xingchen did not dare to waste time, fearing that his master would act too quickly and kill the banyan tree before it knew it was also a victim. He did not care about vines or snakes and immediately ran into the puddle.
It can be said that I gritted my teeth and went for it.
When the vines wrapped around his waist and ankles, Mu Xingchen's hair stood up like flagpoles, but he did not regret his decision.
The banyan tree is a good tree and needs to be saved.
[Xiao Mu has become sensible now, what a good baby!]
