Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 4839 [Tree Heart] 8

It’s no wonder the shopkeeper is suspicious, this banyan tree really looks creepy.

Even if we discard the banyan tree's reputation as a ghost tree... it's impossible to get rid of it!

This huge tree canopy blocked out the sun. Even before the dozen or so of them even walked under the thick trunk, they felt a coolness that was different from other places.

Not to mention that when people approached, the aerial roots above their heads were as thick as hairs. When the wind blew, it looked like a bunch of hanged people were dangling there and swaying. When they looked up, they saw the aerial roots hanging more than a meter above their heads. Many people's faces turned pale and their steps slowed down inwardly. Several Taoists in yellow robes "suddenly" walked to the front.

The tall and thin man was also cautious and did not stand under the tree. It was possible that a tree that was hundreds of years old could become a spirit.

"Boss, look, there's a red cloth on this tree!"

A clever servant spotted scattered red cloth on the banyan tree among the layers of aerial roots and branches.

"The killing tree—" the tall and thin man blurted out, then closed his mouth after realizing what he had said. However, his expression became solemn and gloomy, and his narrow eyes moved around as if he was thinking about something. Finally, a sinister and cunning smile appeared on his face, "No, this is the sacred tree!"

After the tall and thin man remembered the incident with the tree, he didn't go over there anymore. Instead, he asked the servants to go around under the tree and take down all the red cloth on the tree.

"We can't leave any traces. Clean up down here too. It's too gloomy," the tall and thin man said, sending everyone into a frenzy. After instructing the servants, he regained his polite smile and spoke courteously to the Taoists, "Master, please take a look and see if this tree has a strong yin energy. If there's any bloody smell or something, please cover it up."

Feng Lan quietly let the trembling servants climb up to clean the red cloth on his body. Some animals couldn't untie the red cloth, but humans with five fingers were more flexible and could easily untie the knots. Even if they couldn't untie them, they could cut them open with the blades they brought with them. All the red cloth and a lot of other garbage were cleaned up by these people.

Feng Lan felt that her whole body relaxed a lot. The huge tree crown and aerial roots swayed slightly, bringing a touch of coolness to the busy people below in this hot summer.

"Move, move!"

It’s a pity that those people didn’t seem to understand Feng Lan’s good intentions, and even the Taoist priests changed their expressions briefly.

"This tree might have developed intelligence. The sinister energy within it shouldn't be underestimated," a Taoist pointed at the aerial roots drooping to the ground. "These roots, drooping but not falling, are carriers of vengeful spirits. The jagged, sunken ghost faces on the tree's trunk are vengeful spirits. Once the roots touch the ground, these ghosts will take root in the soil, becoming the tree's accomplices and potentially taking lives!"

Following the master's patient guidance, everyone looked horrified. Looking at the crooked bark on the tree, it really did look like a ghost face...

Feng Lan listened and felt that it made some sense, if she was not the ghost tree that the Taoist priest said was full of ghostly aura and nurtured countless evil spirits.

Feng Lan shook the leaves. There wasn't even a dead body around her, let alone a ghost! Where did this eerie ghostly aura come from? It was pure prejudice! Liar!

But the tall and thin man obviously believed it. After all, what the Taoist said hit the nail on the head and was exactly what he thought.

"Master, I understand your concerns," the tall, thin man stroked his beard and said slowly, "but if you take money from someone, you naturally have to do things for them."

"Our Master Liu has lost all his appetite and spent all his money on this Marshal's matter," the tall and thin man said slowly. "The delicacies you and your friends have enjoyed these days, the silk and satin, the grandeur you have shown us, all of these have cost a lot of money. Our Master hired capable people, and if they can't do the job well..."

The tall and thin man did not explain his words, but several Taoists broke out in cold sweat. They stopped putting on airs and honestly took out some red threads, copper coins, Bagua mirrors and other things and arranged them around Feng Lan.

Feng Lan had a lot of red ropes tied with copper coins wrapped around her body. She did not struggle and even drove away the beasts that were coming over.

She was very curious. She had seen the monsters in this copy, but she had never seen the abilities of the monks in this copy.

"Hurry up, it's already past noon. By the time it gets dark, I'm afraid this tree won't be as peaceful as it is now."

"Sui Suo Suo——"

The leaves swayed, and Feng Lan saw Liu Qi's figure flash by. Her mental power twisted into a thin thread and transmitted it to Liu Qi's brain.

"do not come."

Not sure whether Liu Qi heard it or not, Feng Lan watched these Taoists tinkering carefully. She didn't have any bad feelings at the moment.

These Taoists did not have any spiritual energy, but Feng Lan felt a little special power from them, very weak. He didn't know if it was because they were not well-trained or because they were not real Taoists.

The huge banyan tree was densely wrapped with countless red ropes, and a circle of formations was set up under Feng Lan's feet according to the directions. The three Taoists set up altars in three directions respectively, waiting for the auspicious time they mentioned.

Feng Lan didn't feel anything after all this, but the tall and thin man and the others were quite impressed, which could be seen from their expressions. As for the down-and-out middle-aged man who led the way, the tall and thin man gave him some dollars to keep him quiet, and then left happily.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

But Feng Lan noticed that there were several servants following the cautious and down-and-out middle-aged man.

"I can buy medicine now. The house needs repairing, and the roof can be replaced with better straw. This should also provide enough food for the winter..."

After a long while, the servants came back talking and laughing, and Feng Lan smelled blood on them.

"This little money is not enough to go out for some drinks."

"Susu-"

The dark aerial roots were swaying and the forest was shaking. Feng Lan saw the shallowly buried pile of earth between the trees. A hand was still exposed, and the struggling fingers were filled with dirt and grass clippings.

"Ring ring ring——"

"Ring ring ring——"

"Ring ring ring——"

The three Taoists all picked up the bells and muttered something, and the rest of the people quieted down, including the servants who had just done the bloody thing. They all watched the Taoists perform the ritual with a curious attitude.

The sky was clear blue, with no clouds or wind. Just after a few Taoists chanted something, the wind suddenly started.

"The heaven and earth are natural, the filthy energy is dispersed, and the cave is mysterious..."

"The Mysterious Sect of Heaven and Earth, the root of all myriad qi, has cultivated for billions of kalpas to prove my magical powers..."

"Tianyuan Taiyi, Jingsi's chief soldier..."

Three people recited three sets of words. Feng Lan didn't know what to say, but the copper coins and red threads on her body seemed to resonate with these Taoists, and indeed produced a weak breath.

“…Hurry up and obey the command!”

As the three Taoists finished their recitation, the wind began to rise and the clouds began to surge. The talisman paper on the yellow table altar spontaneously combusted without wind, and the copper coins wrapped around Feng Lan also shook violently.

The three Taoists all had bad looks on their faces. They jumped back and forth with their peach wood swords in their hands as if they were fighting with someone. Soon they were all sweating profusely.

Feng Lan, who was just watching without moving, said: "......???"
