You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

Su Chen was a little surprised.

This tree spirit... can actually speak?

It’s more powerful than the squirrel fairy on Niugang Mountain.

"You are welcome."

Su Chen also extended a little Taoist power and gently entangled it with the breath.

The man and the tree are communicating in a friendly manner without any obstacles.

Of course, what the tree spirit told Su Chen was that the villagers of Qingshan Village worshipped it, and his sickly and tearful godson.

Its voice was plain, but you could hear its concern and worry.

From its words, Su Chen could infer that the tree had already been alive before it was struck by lightning. After being struck by lightning, it was severely damaged and was about to dissipate its spirit, but was kept alive by the Sun family's incense.

As a tree, its thoughts were very simple, and it had not previously considered where the fragrance came from. Just now, after hearing the villagers' conversation, it doubted the tree's life and even had thoughts of suicide.

Fortunately, Su Chen acted in time and not only saved it, but the power of merit also gave it new life.

pretty good.

It is a sensitive and kind spirit.

Su Chen felt very happy communicating with the tree spirit. He asked about what Zhao Dongsheng had said before about a giant snake transforming into a dragon on Longshan Mountain, but the tree spirit denied it.

It has lived in Qingshan Village for so long, and the largest snake it has ever seen is only as thick as a bowl.

Zhao Dongsheng looked at Su Chen standing there in surprise, his eyes curved and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, smiling.

However, when he followed his gaze, he only saw an extremely ordinary tree trunk.

Zhao Dongsheng: “…”

Master, your smile becomes more and more creepy the more I look at it!

The tree spirit had probably just recovered and quickly retracted the breath.

Su Chen also withdrew his Taoist power.

Turning around, she met Zhao Dongsheng's curious gaze and couldn't help but smile.

It was a truly magical experience.

At least in his previous life, in that world where ghost energy was revived, Su Chen had only seen tree spirits in his master's books, and had never found them in the real world.

It seems that if he is bored in the future, he can come to Longshan to talk to the tree spirit. He can tell the tree spirit about the outside world and the complexity of human hearts, and the tree spirit can also share with him every bit of the mountain.

But... there is one more place.

After making a phone call to the village and asking Sister Hong to remind his parents, Su Chen led Zhao Dongsheng out of the village.

Although the night was dark, the mountain air became increasingly clear and distinct.

When we arrived at another longan site, we saw piles of white bones under the light of the flashlight, which was shocking.

Zhao Dongsheng picked up a bone and looked at it carefully: "Master, it's not a human bone."

Su Chen nodded.

If they were human bones, with so many of them, it would be like a mass grave. The resentment and anger would be enough to give birth to a ghost king.

But even if it is animal bones, killing animals here will breed a lot of resentment. The resentment and death are intertwined, and the color of the breath is not gray.

So weird!

"Could it be that someone has extracted the souls of these animals?" Su Chen murmured.

Zhao Dongsheng was puzzled: "What?"

"Oh, it's okay." Su Chen sighed, thinking about how to dissipate the dead energy, and then heard Zhao Dongsheng's surprised voice: "No!"

What's wrong?

"Master, I remember when we were looking for Awang's bones, the grass there was more lush than the surrounding area. But here, with so many bones, there should be plenty of fertilizer, too. Why is there no grass at all?"

Su Chen squatted down, took a closer look, and understood: "Salt-alkali land."

"what?"

"It's soil with a very high salt concentration. It's generally barren. Moreover, if ordinary bones were placed there, they would become mummies, not bones."

Zhao Dongsheng was stunned.

"Ah? Master, you mean that the meat on these animals was eaten up and then thrown into this salt marsh?"

He frowned as he spoke. "That's not right. Cuicheng has always been a picturesque place with green mountains and clear waters. When did it become saline-alkali land? Wouldn't that only be found in the northwest?"

“So, this is definitely man-made.”

Su Chen walked around and quickly pointed to a place where the cement was faintly exposed and showed it to Zhao Dongsheng.

"If you think about saline-alkali land, you have to consider the impact of rainfall, but if you intercept the rainwater, there won't be this problem."

"There should be a huge cement pit under this area."

Zhao Dongsheng stared in shock.

"No, who is it? Why is there such a big fuss?"

Su Chen turned around and looked at the forest in the night.

"Slay the dragon!"

"Or, capture the dragon."

By strangling the dragon's neck and blinding its eyes, you can easily control this little mountain dragon.

It seems that this is the work of the Xuanmen people.

Su Chen frowned slightly.

This was the first time he discovered traces of Xuanmen people in this world.

The mountain dragon represents the vitality of Longshan. The other party's layout is obviously reckless, which goes against his concept.

He sighed softly: "Let's go."

"Ah? Master, then we're just going to ignore everything?"

"Of course we do, but we don't have any explosives."

"Explosives?"

"Well, blast this cement pit. After the rain, the salty water will flow down. If the concentration is not too high, grass and trees should gradually grow. However, the grass and trees below will also be affected and may not adapt and die. But over time, it will recover."

"Of course, the best way is to dig out the entire cement pit along with the bones and soil inside."

Zhao Dongsheng said solemnly, "Then dig it all up. It's just a cement pit, how big is it?"

Su Chen looked him up and down.

"You come to dig?"

"Hehe," Zhao Dongsheng scratched his head, "I still have to ask the boss for permission. But Master, this is a good thing, right?"

After receiving a definite answer, Zhao Dongsheng clapped his hands and said, "That's it, isn't it? The boss is very happy to do good deeds, he will definitely agree."

"If it really doesn't work, I can make explosives and bring them back to the mountains to blow them up."

"In short, Master, don't worry. I promise to solve this problem for you."

Su Chen burst out laughing.

"Okay, let's go back first."

When they returned to Qingshan Village again, Zhao Xiaoting's body had been moved out, and the opium seedlings had been uprooted and filled twenty sacks. Of course, there were also some seeds and dried fruits. The banyan tree was full of people.

Seeing them come back, Zhang Ming said something to Director Zhou and squeezed over.

"Master, where did you go just now?"

When Zhao Dongsheng explained the situation, Zhang Ming frowned. "I wonder if it was done by a spy? I'll check it out later."

Then he assured Su Chen: "Master, we will handle this matter."

"okay."

There were about twenty people brought into Longshan by the Municipal Bureau this time. As they walked down the mountain in a mighty procession, when they passed by the mountainside where they had set up their formation before, Su Chen stopped for a while and pulled Zhao Dongsheng to search in the woods. Sure enough, they found a simple doll on a tree. On the back of the doll were written Sun Zhiyuan's eight characters.

"Damn it! I thought this guy hadn't said a word since he was caught. He must be a tough nut, right? I didn't expect he really is."

"Who taught him this evil technique? He killed someone, and the evil spirit wanted to seek revenge on you, but you used a substitute and escaped? Isn't that disgusting? You have no sense of responsibility at all!"

Zhao Dongsheng was filled with righteous indignation.

Su Chen advised: "Don't worry, it won't last long, and if you burn this doll, he will be retaliated against."

Zhao Dongsheng's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Well, take it. Wait until Captain Zhang and the others finish interrogating him. If they don't sentence him to death, burn him."

Zhao Dongsheng gave a thumbs up: "Master, good idea!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's such a pity for Zhao Xiaoting. I don't know how she managed to offend that scumbag. Even after giving birth to a son for him, he was still killed. That Sun Zhiyuan is simply... worse than an animal!"

With curses, everyone went down the mountain.

By the time the city police finished taking the statement, it was already 11 o'clock at night.

Zhao Dongsheng was just about to ask Su Chen if he wanted to get some snacks when a burst of sirens sounded ahead.

He was startled and quickly turned around to pull a police officer and asked, "What happened?"
