Chapter 77 Jinshan Temple
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Inside Huayan Temple, a stone Buddha statue inside the room where the tree demon was sealed has shattered.
The light on the sealing array grew dimmer and dimmer.
Upon seeing this, the wooden Buddha statue's aura surged, and beams of green light emerged, falling upon the stone Buddha statue.
In an instant, the stone statues shattered one by one.
As the head of the last stone Buddha statue shattered, the sealing array also broke.
"Bang!"
The wooden Buddha statue tore off its last shackles and stood up.
"You bald monk from Jinshan Temple, you can't trap me to death."
"Once I successfully transform into human form, I'll make you pay."
The wooden Buddha statue stomps on the stone statue, which is not yet completely broken, with one hand, its face full of arrogance.
Once freed from its predicament, it was in a great mood.
What truly brightened its mood were the living people in the yard.
It sensed the presence of these living people as they entered Huayan Temple.
It originally intended to use vines to bind these people and devour them to replenish its energy, but it was stopped by the sealing formation!
It was in a very bad mood, but luckily, it was fortunate.
The unexpected death of the split soul gave it a great deal of power, helping it break free from the seal and gain freedom.
Now it wants to go out and enjoy the blood food that freedom offers.
Since it was sealed away, it has never tasted blood again, and it has almost forgotten what blood tastes like.
Now is a good time to revisit it.
"Wait, something's not right. Why is this house on fire?"
"Was it made with lychee wood?"
Before the wooden Buddha statue could even leave the room, a thick plume of smoke rushed into the house.
The smell of thick smoke caused the wooden Buddha statue to change color drastically.
Within this thick smoke, there exists a force that weakens it.
"Keep adding lychee wood, burn this house down!"
Outside, Yang Jian gave instructions.
Having confirmed that the locust tree demon was still sealed inside the wooden house, Yang Jian naturally wouldn't let it go.
For this type of tree-like evil spirit, burning it is the most effective method, because the power it fears most is fire.
Using woods like lychee wood or peach wood is even more effective.
The flames burned ever brighter, and Yang Jian's gaze remained fixed on the burning house before him.
He had already seen the ball of light inside the wooden house; it must be the locust tree demon he wanted to kill.
"Bang!"
"Despicable humans, how dare you try to burn me alive!"
"I want you all dead."
The wooden Buddha statue rushed out of the burning house and charged towards the people who were still placing lychee wood.
It was on fire, but it didn't care.
The powerful impact sent several people in front of it flying.
At the same time, a powerful aura emanated from it.
Next to it, vines appeared, baring their claws and reaching out to grab the people who had placed the lychee wood.
"What the hell is that?"
"A ghost!"
"Don't come any closer."
Seeing the wooden Buddha statue rush out of the house, its body still ablaze with flames, and especially the vines sprouting from the ground, startled those who were somewhat prepared and were still placing lychee wood.
These people instinctively fled, avoiding the vines on the ground.
"The Eight Trigrams stabilize the soul."
Seeing this, Yang Jian took out the Bagua Mirror and reflected the sunlight onto the wooden Buddha statue.
The wooden Buddha statue, which was still extending its vines and baring its fangs, was instantly flung away, and the flames on its body intensified, with some of the vines being burned away!
This Bagua mirror was originally designed to deal with evil spirits.
Yang Jian used it twice today, and the results were quite good.
With his attack successful, Yang Jian once again reflected sunlight onto the wooden Buddha statue.
"Don't panic, everyone. Take these lychee wood torches."
"Tree spirits are most afraid of fire!"
As Yang Jian stared at the wooden Buddha statue, he spoke to the panicked people.
Most of these people were dealing with these strange and evil spirits with him for the second time, but they still instinctively felt fear towards them.
Therefore, the first reaction was not to take action, but to run.
Yang Jian had no better solution, because fear is a human instinct.
Only through repeated experiences can one overcome this instinctive fear.
Among these people, Jin Rong reacted the fastest. As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, he already had two lychee wood torches in his hands, one in each hand.
They held everything up in front of them, facing the eerie wooden Buddha statue.
"Are you the real locust tree spirit?"
Yang Jian looked at the wooden Buddha statue and spoke.
Unlike the parasitic demon souls of the past, this wooden Buddha statue has two orbs of light on its head.
One is a talent aura, and the other is an attribute aura.
The attribute points in the attribute light cluster are also more than those in the parasitic demon soul, so its strength is definitely greater.
After seeing what was inside that ball of innate light, Yang Jian was even more eager to capture the locust tree demon in front of him!
However, Yang Jian could also sense that this locust tree demon was not so easy to deal with, and its methods were probably not simple.
"Despicable humans, are you all part of the demon-hunting team?"
"If you're so capable, let's fight with real weapons, not those gadgets you have."
The wooden Buddha statue retracted the vines on the ground, dodged the reflected light, and looked at Yang Jian and the others with a wary expression.
These people came prepared, reminding the locust tree demon of the demon-hunting team of the Shun Dynasty.
It had only recently developed consciousness when it witnessed the Shun Dynasty's demon-hunting team hunting down those demons that had become spirits, claiming that they were to be offered as tribute to the superiors above.
It was so frightened that it trembled and dared not make any move, fearing that it would be taken away by the demon-hunting team.
However, those demon-hunting teams are much stronger than these, and they have more professional tools.
However, it has just escaped its predicament and is in its weakest period. If it is captured by these people, it will likely die completely!
Unlike Buddhism, which prefers suppression, the demon-hunting team prefers to kill demons, even dismembering them on the spot and taking their core parts.
These living people may have come specifically for it and even set a trap here.
This made the tree spirit want to escape.
"Strange and wicked creatures that harm people's lives should be killed by everyone."
Yang Jian raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Yang Jian was unaware of the matter concerning the demon-hunting team, but he did not explain.
However, he made a note of the demon-hunting team, thinking he would find it useful later.
The immediate priority is to capture the wooden Buddha statue in front of us; we can't let it escape!
"You lackeys of the imperial court, we'll see."
"You'll have to wait until your next life to win me over!"
The wooden Buddha statue's eyes flickered with uncertainty before it quickly retreated, vines rising in front of it as it used them to run directly into the locust grove.
As it ran, the flames on its body slowly died out.
Yang Jian used the Bagua Mirror to shine the light, but he still couldn't hit it because the vines blocked it!
Although the vines quickly caught fire, they still bought the wooden Buddha statue time to escape.
Soon the wooden Buddha statue disappeared without a trace.
Yang Jian held the Bagua mirror and shone it on, but it didn't do much good.
When the distance is too great, the power of the Bagua mirror is greatly reduced.
Yang Jian felt it was a pity when he learned of this situation.
Compared to the parasitic tree demon from before, this locust tree demon is not only stronger but also more cunning and difficult to deal with.
