Zhang Meng immediately smiled and patted his chest. "Master Yao, please rest assured and leave this matter to my husband and me. You guys wait here first. My husband and I will go up the mountain to take a look."
Old Master Yao nodded, and finally watched the young couple go up the mountain.
As soon as they walked up the mountain, the couple immediately discovered that the mountain looked like a dead mountain. All the flowers, plants and trees here seemed to be dead, with withered leaves and faded flowers.
Looking at the place where the mountains didn't look like mountains and the land didn't look like land, Zhang Meng looked at the man beside her who hadn't spoken the whole time, "What should I do?"
Gu Mingtai immediately touched his chin and said, "I once heard Master say that for a spirit to become a spirit, it must have a physical form. We just need to find something special on this mountain."
Soon, the couple continued to climb up the mountain. When they almost reached the top of the mountain, a huge banyan tree appeared in front of them.
Unlike other places on the mountain, the leaves of this big banyan tree are still green and do not look withered at all.
"Gu Mingtai, could it be that this tree is the true form of the mountain spirit?"
Gu Mingtai immediately walked under the tree, circled it, and quickly said, "If you want to be sure, there is a way!"
Zhang Meng's eyes lit up immediately, and she ran up to him and asked, "What's the solution?"
At this moment, Zhang Meng suddenly saw a sly smile across the corner of his mouth.
"This spirit is just like a ghost. It's afraid of the magical weapons of us cultivators. Let's stab it a few times with the peach wood sword to see if it bleeds. If it does, then it's the mountain spirit we're looking for."
Zhang Meng clapped her hands immediately, "That's a great idea. What are we waiting for? Let's get started."
Gu Mingtai smiled and quickly took out a peach wood sword from his body and stabbed it at the big banyan tree in front of them.
Just as the peach wood sword was about to penetrate, an old voice came from the tree, "Master, please show mercy."
Gu Mingtai's lips curled up, and he immediately stopped the peach wood sword that was only a few centimeters away. In an instant, he said to the big banyan tree with a cold face, "If you don't want to die, why don't you show yourself to me quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Meng suddenly felt that the ground they were standing on began to shake, as if there was an earthquake.
A minute later, the mountain finally stopped moving. Zhang Meng then discovered that the big banyan tree in front of them had actually stood up, and there were human facial features on the trunk.
"Master, I am innocent too. It was those people who went too far and burned my clone. Now I can only hide under this big banyan tree and linger for the rest of my life."
Gu Mingtai walked forward, glanced at the talking banyan tree, and asked calmly, "Let me ask you, were those from the Yao family cast by you?"
The big banyan tree suddenly snorted loudly and said angrily, "Yes, it's me. They are so hateful. I was forced to do this."
Gu Mingtai knew very well who was right and who was wrong in this matter, so he didn't try to persuade them. Instead, he asked directly, "Just tell me, how much compensation do you want from them before you let that family go?"
The big banyan tree snorted again, "They hurt me like this, I won't let them off so easily."
Zhang Meng immediately stood up and said to him, "Comrade Shan Jing, you won't live long in this state. If I were you, I would first think about how to save my life instead of using my own life to punish my enemies just to vent my anger. It's not worth it."
The mountain spirit immediately quieted down. Zhang Meng saw this and was delighted, knowing that his words of persuasion must have made this guy listen.
"If you're willing to agree to a settlement, we can find a way to help you find your source of life and have the Yao family take good care of you, okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the mountain spirit immediately looked towards her and excitedly confirmed, "Can you really help me find the source of life?"
This source of life is an important thing for it to survive in this world. It is precisely because it has lost this thing now that it can only cling to this big banyan tree and survive.
"We will never say anything we are not sure of." Zhang Meng answered seriously.
The mountain spirit's eyes immediately showed a hint of relief. The young couple stopped urging it and continued to wait.
They believed that as long as the mountain spirit was smart enough, he would definitely agree to their request.
Sure enough, the mountain spirit thought about it for less than two minutes and quickly replied, "I agree to your request."
When the young couple heard his words, smiles immediately appeared on their faces.
"Then you should wake up those people from the Yao family now!" Gu Mingtai said.
The mountain spirit first showed an unhappy expression on his face.
Gu Mingtai chuckled softly, "What's the matter? You don't want to, right? In that case, we won't force you. Just wait for death here. As for those people from the Yao family, we can always find a way to save them."
When the mountain elf heard this, he immediately said anxiously, "I didn't say I didn't want to. I'll just wake them up now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few star-like lights appeared from the banyan tree and floated into the sky.
After circling twice on the top of the tree, these things immediately floated towards the Yao family.
"They will wake up soon, but you must keep your promise and help me save my life source." The mountain elf said in a slightly unhappy voice. The young couple looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Zhang Meng didn't know what use the Spirit Gathering Pill he had on the mountain spirit would be, but since it was so obedient, it wouldn't hurt to give it one to try.
