(First Update)
Shen Luo was secretly delighted. He then closed his eyes and carefully examined the internal situation of the Ginseng Fruit Tree. His face quickly sank.
Inside the Ginseng Fruit Tree, there were green veins that transported spiritual energy. These were the spirit channels that only ancient spiritual trees would produce, similar to the meridians in a cultivator's body.
The spirit channels on the outside looked fine, but the deeper he went, the more chaotic the spirit channels became. Not only were they blocked, there were many places that were messed up and pieced together.
Moreover, there were no signs of external interference in these messed up spirit channels. It was as if the spirit channels of the Ginseng Fruit Tree had gone berserk on their own.
"How could this be?" Shen Luo was secretly shocked. He continued to use the Divine Wood Blessing, extending it into the depths of the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
However, at this point, the probing of the Divine Wood Blessing became more difficult. He tried his best to probe a few feet further, but finally reached his limit and could not go any further.
However, Shen Luo finally felt a strange aura inside the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
"This is Demonic Qi?" He suddenly opened his eyes.
The aura in the depths of the Ginseng Fruit Tree was filled with evil energy, very similar to Demonic Qi.
He suddenly thought of his first Demonic Qi explosion. Wasn't his meridians also blocked and pieced together in a mess?
"Could it be that the Ginseng Fruit Tree was also possessed by the Demonic Qi and the sudden explosion caused it to wither?" Shen Luo thought to himself.
"Why, Little Friend Shen, have you found something?" The Daoist priest walked over.
"I have indeed detected some abnormalities. There is an extremely evil aura inside the Ginseng Fruit Tree. It is very similar to Demonic Qi." Shen Luo retracted his palm. After pondering for a while, he did not hide this matter.
"Demonic Qi?" The Daoist priest was shocked.
When the others heard this, their expressions changed too.
Ming Yue was shocked. She suddenly thought of the Demonic Qi that came out of the Sun Moon Hall yesterday and her expression changed again.
"Ming Yue, what's wrong?" Qin Shan noticed the change in Ming Yue's expression and asked.
"Nothing, I am just a little surprised that there is Demonic Qi inside the Ginseng Fruit Tree." Ming Yue's body shook, but she pretended to be calm.
Qin Shan frowned. He felt that Ming Yue's words did not seem to match her heart.
At this moment, three conveyance lights flew over from afar and landed in the courtyard. Three figures appeared. The leader was Qing Feng, a disciple of the Fifth Manor. The two people behind him were not disciples of the Fifth Manor. One of them was Jiang Shentian, who had left earlier. The other person was a young girl who was about 17 or 18 years old. She had creamy skin and a beautiful appearance. Her eyes were especially bright.
This woman was wearing a blue dress that was studded with many bells, silver rings, and other ornaments. Her dress was different from that of the Central Plains of the Great Tang and the Aparagodānīya Continent. She looked rather like a priest of the Miao lands in the south.
As soon as the girl landed, she immediately looked at the ginseng fruit tree, and a strange light appeared in her eyes.
"Qing Feng, the Immortal Fruit Orchard is an important place for our temple. It's one thing for Fellow Daoist Jiang, but how could you bring an outsider here?!" The guide was worried about the ginseng fruit tree. When he saw that Qing Feng had brought a stranger here, he said angrily.
"Fellow guide, please forgive me. I asked Fellow Daoist Qing Feng to bring us here. This is Fellow Daoist Wu Man Er from the Forest of Heavenly Trees. She is proficient in many Yi Wood Divine Senses. I have heard about the ginseng fruit tree, so I boldly brought her here to check on the tree." Before Qing Feng could speak, Jiang Shentian spoke first.
As he spoke, he also noticed Shen Luo and nodded slightly to greet him.
"The Forest of Heavenly Trees!" The guide was shocked and suddenly looked at the girl in the blue dress.
The Forest of Heavenly Trees was a very mysterious sect in the Three Realms. It was said that it was created by the ancient Forest Tribe. The disciples of the Forest of Heavenly Trees had a natural affinity with the plants, insects, and beasts in the natural world. They were especially proficient in Yi Wood Divine Senses, which was the best in the Three Realms.
Shen Luo looked at Wu Man Er with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
The girl's cultivation was profound and had reached the late stage of the Mahayana Realm. Moreover, the Dharma power around her was very flexible. It was constantly communicating with the Spiritual Power of Heaven and Earth, which was completely different from the Dharma power of ordinary cultivators.
Wu Man Er bowed to the guide and said respectfully, "Junior Wu Man Er greets the guide. Please forgive me for coming to such an important place without permission."
The girl's voice was crisp and clear, but there was a sense of gentleness in it. It was like the gurgling of a mountain spring, which could calm one's mind.
"So it is Fellow Daoist Wu from the Forest of Heavenly Trees. Nice to meet you. When did Fellow Daoist Wu come to the Five Villages Temple? Is there anything important that you need? "The guide's expression had calmed down. He nodded slightly and asked.
The ginseng fruit tree had an accident last night, and Wu Man Er had appeared in the Five Villages Temple this morning. The timing was too coincidental. He could not help but doubt the girl's motives.
"Fellow guide, what do you mean? Are you doubting Fellow Daoist Wu? Fellow Daoist Wu is my friend. We met by chance in the nearby Jinhua City this morning. Later, we heard that something had happened in the Five Villages Temple, so we came together. Before this, Fellow Daoist Wu knew nothing about the ginseng fruit tree, "Jiang Shentian said with some dissatisfaction.
"I see. I was overthinking. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Wu." The guide's face relaxed and he apologized to Wu Man Er.
"Senior, you don't have to be so polite," Wu Man Er said hurriedly.
Shen Luo stood aside and watched them talk. He felt a little strange.
Wasn't Jiang Shentian a disciple of the Heavenly Palace? Why did he feel that he had an unusually close relationship with the Five Villages Temple? He could even bring people to the ginseng fruit tree!
Moreover, the withering of the ginseng fruit tree was a top secret of the Five Villages Temple. He only knew about it because he was suspected of being a thief. How could Jiang Shentian know about it?
Ming Yue walked over and said, "Although Fellow Daoist Jiang Shentian is a disciple of the Heavenly Palace, he was greatly indebted to the Master. The Master also taught him some Magic Skills of the Five Villages Temple. He can be considered half a disciple of the Five Villages Temple."
"I see." Shen Luo suddenly understood. However, he still did not agree with Jiang Shentian's previous actions.
Even if Jiang Shentian was half a disciple of the Five Villages Temple, it was not appropriate for him to bring an outsider here. His cultivation was profound and he was a very upright person. However, his character was unexpectedly reckless.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, I've been guarding outside the Sun Moon Hall for the past few days. Yesterday, there was a wave of Devil Qi coming out of the hall. What's going on?" Ming Yue looked at Shen Luo and suddenly asked.
When Shen Luo heard this, his heart skipped a beat. However, he immediately calmed down and smiled bitterly.
Although he immediately released the Ghost General yesterday and activated the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, the fact that he had Devil Qi was still exposed.
"Since Fellow Daoist Ming Yue knew about this, why didn't you tell the guide?" He thought quickly but did not show it on his face. He smiled faintly and asked.
When Ming Yue heard this, her hands, which were hidden in her sleeves, suddenly clenched into fists.
Originally, he was not sure if what he felt yesterday was really Devil Qi. Therefore, he used this method to test it. He did not expect it to be true.
"I will naturally tell the guide elder. However, before that, I would like to hear your explanation." Ming Yue adjusted her breathing and said slowly.
"That was because I was sacrificial refining a Devil Treasure and accidentally caused Devil Qi to leak out. The guide elder had already seen my Devil Treasure when he checked my storage device." Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and said calmly.
"Is that so? I understand." Ming Yue nodded her head and walked towards the guide elder.
Shen Luo looked at the back of Ming Yue and squinted his eyes slightly.
