Chapter 1702: Kill the Tree Demon and Enter the Secret Realm

The moonlight is cold.

The shade of the trees is swaying.

Su Mingzhe looked at the scattered ghosts on the mass grave, but his Shaoyao was the only one missing. Suddenly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes:

"Tree demon, get out here!"

"Who dares to come here and make such a fuss?"

The tree demon didn't know that she was unlucky today. When she heard the provocation, she jumped out from the ground. Her voice, which was both masculine and feminine, made Su Mingzhe frown.

"Hand over the Peony Fairy you just killed!"

Su Mingzhe could no longer sense Shaoyao's breath, nor could he sense Shaoyao's soul.

Generally speaking, in this case, it means that the peony is gone.

However, Su Mingzhe has already sensed that the tree demon grandma's strength is only at the celestial fairy level, which is equivalent to Shaoyao's cultivation level.

Therefore, he also couldn't believe that Shaoyao, who was protected by the amulet she made, was killed instantly by the tree demon grandma who was at the same level.

Unless, the more powerful Black Mountain Demon takes action!

……

"Peony Fairy? Grandma has never seen one!"

The tree demon finally realized that Su Mingzhe was much stronger than herself. Although she felt good about herself and thought that she had the support of the Black Mountain Demon behind her and did not need to be afraid of trouble from the man in front of her, it was better not to fight if possible.

Therefore, facing Su Mingzhe's coercion, the tree demon chose to retreat in order to protect herself.

"never seen it?"

Su Mingzhe naturally didn't believe a word the tree demon grandma said. He had just sensed that Shaoyao was in danger, so he didn't even bother to untie the rope on Weng Hongting and flew over.

As a result, they saw that there was only one monster, the tree demon, within a hundred miles.

If it wasn't her who did it, who else could it be?

"Don't admit it? It doesn't matter..."

After Su Mingzhe expanded his soul to a radius of ten thousand miles and still could not find the scent of peony, he was sure that it was the tree demon in front of him who killed his peony. He was too lazy to say any more nonsense and just drew his sword and slashed forward.

The true form of the tree demon grandma is a thousand-year-old towering ancient tree with a crown like a canopy, covering an area of ​​about a hundred acres.

Su Mingzhe swung his sword, and a brilliant light shone.

puff-

The tree trunk, which was as hard as steel, was easily split into two like a piece of fragile paper under the chopping of the sword.

The tree demon grandma didn't expect that today's enemy was so powerful, and she was about to escape underground.

However, Su Mingzhe took a step ahead and used his magical power to turn the ground into steel.

The tree demon's earth escape attempt failed, and just as she was about to beg for mercy, she saw the man spew out another stream of Samadhi True Fire.

In an instant, the originally huge tree monster was turned into ashes under the burning of the Samadhi True Fire, leaving only a piece of emerald green tree heart.

This tree heart is the inner elixir of the tree demon.

Su Mingzhe frowned, held the tree heart in his palm, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

……

"Changting, wake up..."

Su Mingzhe brought the tree heart to Lanruo Temple and woke up the sleeping Weng Changting.

"Husband, why are you here?"

Weng Changting was still a little dazed and didn't even realize that Shaoyao beside him had been killed.

"Don't worry about me for now. Go to Guobei County in the west and look for Hongting. Once you find me, come back immediately and protect my real body. Remember, don't run around..."

Su Mingzhe knew that Shaoyao was in danger now, so he didn't bother to explain to Weng Changting. He took the tree heart and slashed it towards the void.

Weng Changting only heard a loud 'bang' and then saw a circular arc of colorful light appear before his eyes.

When Su Mingzhe saw the arc appear, his soul instantly left his body and disappeared into the arc.

……

Among the myriad planes, there is a meta-universe, which is called the foundation of all heavens and worlds.

According to the setting in the Marvel world, the timeline of the metaverse is also called the sacred timeline.

And outside the metaverse, there are endless branches.

These branch planes continue to produce smaller branch planes.

This has formed the current worldview of "big thousand, medium thousand, small thousand".

Among them, the small thousand planes are mostly similar to the first-level planes that Su Mingzhe experienced. They lack the original energy and the power of laws is weak. The humans living in them cannot practice and can only push the technology tree hard.

……

In order to save Shaoyao, Su Mingzhe's soul left his body and squeezed into the secret realm where the tree demon grandma's soul was. This entry immediately made him cry out in pain:
"I didn't expect that this secret realm is on the verge of collapse. The five elements are missing and the spiritual energy is scarce. I'm afraid that in a few tens of thousands of years, this secret realm will turn into nothingness!"

"Forget it. I can't control the life or death of the secret realm. If I don't find someone to possess, I'm afraid that if I don't find Shaoyao's soul, my soul and magic power will be exhausted and I will die!"

……

In the secret realm of the painted wall, Su Mingzhe had experienced the feeling of having his primordial energy drained away and almost dying.

Now when I enter the secret realm again, I will definitely be careful.

It didn't take a while.

Su Mingzhe's soul found a young man passing by and possessed him directly.

After briefly integrating the young man's soul information, Su Mingzhe's eyes showed a bit of strangeness:
"Ning Caichen?"

"The craftsman sent by the government to Heishan Village to find water?"

"So, this is the celestial version of A Chinese Ghost Story?"

……

Thinking of the plot in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Su Mingzhe's face suddenly turned cold.

Although in the movie, Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian are considered a couple.

But Xiaoqian's first love was the bearded man Yan Chixia.

Well, that's not true.

It should be said that Xiaoqian's first love was the handsome white ancient version of Yan Chixia before he had a beard.

……

Su Mingzhe was in a bad mood. He continued on his way with his head down. After several dozen miles, he soon reached the end of the road.

Heishan Village is a pottery-making village located at the foot of Heishan Mountain.

Because of the special black soil in the village, the long history of Heishan Village and the excellent craftsmanship of the ceramic masters, the pottery of Heishan Village is selling well in the twelve states south of the Yangtze River.

Unfortunately, disaster struck.

Since the Chinese New Year, there has not been a drop of rain in Heishan Village, and the water veins have been blocked by demons.

Without water, Heishan Village had trouble even getting food, and naturally it was impossible to make pottery.

After reaching a collective resolution, the villagers of Heishan Village spent a large sum of money and gave it to the county magistrate, begging him to send people to dig a well and find water.

……

Su Mingzhe rushed to Heishan Village and revealed his identity after meeting the villagers.

When the villagers of Heishan Village learned that someone was coming from the county, the village chief hurriedly brought hundreds of villagers to the village entrance to welcome them.

"It turns out to be Lord Ning from the county. I am sorry for my impoliteness. Please forgive me!"

The tall and burly bald village chief bowed immediately when he saw Su Mingzhe showing his county government badge.

"No need to be polite, village chief!"

Su Mingzhe accepted the gift generously, then looked at the villagers and said with a smile:
"I already know the situation in Heishan Village. It's just digging a well, which is a small matter. I'd like to trouble the village chief to find some carpenters and young people for me. In ten days at the latest, I can dig ten deep wells for everyone."

For Su Mingzhe, two days was enough to find water for Heishan Village.

On the first day, we went up the mountain to kill the tree demon.

The next day, open up the water veins.

However, if this thing is done too easily, people will not be grateful.

And Su Mingzhe didn't know how long it would take him to find Shaoyao and bring her back to life.

Therefore, before bringing Shaoyao back to life, he needed to stay near the Black Mountain Village.

And making the villagers more respectful to themselves can improve their living standards.

……

"Thank you, sir!"

The bald village chief did not believe what Su Mingzhe said.

However, at this time, let alone Su Mingzhe helping everyone to dig ten wells in ten days, even if he only helped everyone to dig one well in ten days, everyone would be grateful to him.

Therefore, even though the village chief thought Su Mingzhe was bragging, he did not refute him. Instead, he had people prepare a banquet to entertain Su Mingzhe, the adult from the county.

"Village chief, forget about the banquet. It's more important to work. We can celebrate after we dig the well!"

Su Mingzhe declined the invitation to the banquet and immediately took out his tools. He pretended to measure something, drew a circle at one place, called a carpenter, and started making tools for digging a well.

As for the young people, he used them to do heavy work.

Two hours passed.

Su Mingzhe arranged his work, said goodbye to the village chief under the pretext of going up the mountain to measure the water level, and headed towards Heishan.
