Chapter 181 Saving the Bodhi Tree King (3)
"I, Yun Bai, the junior, have come to pay a visit to Senior Tree King on behalf of your 1,984th generation grandson!" Frankly speaking, Yun Bai was a little startled by the Tree King's somewhat neurotic voice, but she still greeted him respectfully.
"Wuwuwu... my 1984th generation grandson... hahahaha, what can you do, little girl? Wuwuwu, I am in so much pain! Hahahaha!..." The old tree king was crazy, as if he had a mental illness. But as Yun Bai got closer and closer to its position, she could more clearly feel the great pain it was enduring - this was a feeling that could not be described in words, like the pain and despair of a person who couldn't swim being trapped in the dark bottom of the water, like the helplessness and fear of a blind person walking into the middle of a busy highway in broad daylight, like eating a poison that penetrates the intestines and can only watch the body being corroded, and at the same time watch one's soul being cut into pieces...
When Yun Bai arrived in front of the Bodhi Tree King, she was already crying. Mu Yun, Xiao Hua and Zhao Hongshan were all startled by her and asked about her with concern. They were relieved when they learned that she was fine.
"Old senior, I will try to check on you in a while. Please cooperate and guide me to find the cause of the disease." At this time, the crown of the Bodhi tree king was basically bald, with only a dry trunk and countless dark golden branches. Yun Bai felt distressed and hurried to communicate with the old tree king, hoping to get his support. However, this time it was not so smooth - in the past, the spiritual plants took the initiative to cooperate, but now, the old tree king seemed unconscious, and the communication between the two was like a chicken talking to a duck, completely out of tune.
“Ouch, it hurts! Hahaha, little girl, what can you see? Oh, yes, you are a supernatural being! Supernatural being, hahahahaha! Get out of here right now! Humans are not good people!”
"Oh..." This made Yun Bai very worried.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Yun Bai crying and sighing, Lu Juan also panicked. Is it true that the Tree King is beyond saving?
"Oh, don't worry. I just tried to establish a link with the old tree king, but he seemed a little... so he wasn't very cooperative..." Yun Bai pointed to his head, then couldn't help but sigh again.
Everyone understood what was happening, but they could do nothing about it. However, Mu Yun suddenly remembered something and said to Yun Bai, "I've seen a similar situation described in a martial arts book. Mental confusion is often caused by damage to the soul. If we can find the soul of the tree king and repair it appropriately, it may be able to alleviate the problem."
"Yes!" Yun Bai's eyes lit up after hearing this. After Mu Yun's reminder, she also remembered the record in the soul skill book that Old Man Long gave her before. There was even a method to repair the soul, but it was for humans, and she didn't know if it would work on trees. However, regardless of whether it worked or not, she wanted to try her best. Moreover, she was not completely unsure. If it really didn't work, she could use the soul-guiding technique to help the tree king strengthen the power of the soul. It would still be possible.
"Xiaojuan, can we temporarily block this place and not let other people in? About an hour." Yun Bai discussed with his four partners, then turned to ask Lu Juan.
"It should be fine. Not everyone can come in here. Only nine gang leader tokens can enter. And only during the Bodhi Festival when they come here to worship and the enlightenment ceremony for three-year-old children can enter. Since the tree king fell ill, very few people have come here. A while ago, several spiritual plant masters came here to see the doctor, but in the end they all returned empty-handed. Xiaobai, don't worry. To be on the safe side, I will send a message to my father and ask him or my grandfather to come in person." Then, without waiting for Yun Bai to answer, Lu Juan immediately took out the communication talisman, input the spiritual power and information, and sent the information out at lightning speed. In just ten minutes, the old man of the Lu family, his second grandson Lu Hui, the four brothers of the Peng family, and about twenty or so masters appeared in front of everyone.
"Oh my, after you left, Hui'er said you looked familiar. I didn't expect that! Real people don't show their faces! You are all amazing kids!" When Lu Liang saw Yun Bai and the others, his old face immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum, and his tone became more enthusiastic. Obviously, Lu Juan had already told her family about Yun Bai's identity as a supernatural person.
"You are too polite. We are not sure, so we can only try our best." Yun Bai did not have time for politeness, so he answered seriously. Lu Liang also knew the importance of the situation, so he also promised solemnly: "Don't worry, my friend, I am here to protect this place for you! If you can really cure the tree king, Jiulongling will reward you handsomely!" He said "Jiulongling" instead of "Jiulong Gang", which shows the importance of this Bodhi tree king to Jiulongling.
"I'm leaving it up to you, senior! Xiaohua, Xiaoqiang, and senior brother, I'll have to trouble you next." Yun Bai bowed to Lu Liang and thanked him, then nodded to the three companions. Everyone had a tacit understanding and immediately understood what she meant - to protect her and Mu Yun's safety.
"Don't worry, we will be guarding outside and won't leave even a step!" Xiaohua is always Yun Bai's most reliable barrier.
Next, Lu Liang waved his hand and called away the people of the Kowloon Gang, including Lu Juan, and came to the outer gate to sit cross-legged in meditation. Xiaohua, Xiaoqiang and Zhao Hongshan were inside the gate, guarding the gate. They were the second barrier for Yun Bai and Mu Yun.
"Senior, please protect me. I will first determine whether the spiritual origin of the Tree King is damaged!" With the Tree King as the center, Yun Bai set up the ninth-level protective formation produced by Tianlan given by Yuan Wuhen, completely isolating her, Mu Yun and the Tree King from the outside world. Then she spoke to Mu Yun.
"Okay!" Mu Yun used the simplest answer to express his most determined thoughts.
After getting Mu Yun's response, Yun Bai took a deep breath, quickly entered a state of meditation, and established a soul connection with the Bodhi Tree King. Since Yun Bai devoured the Half-Step Soul Demon King last time, her magic has been advanced again. In the past, the connection that required the response and cooperation of the other party could be achieved, but now she can achieve it as long as she performs the spell unilaterally. Moreover, because she has the protection of the Wood Ancestor Soul Seal, she is not afraid of the backlash and attack of the uncooperative spiritual plants. At the moment when the connection was just established, Yun Bai was shocked on the spot!
Chaos, chaos everywhere! The old tree king's soul had been shattered into pieces. If it weren't for that trace of soul power that was barely supporting it, it would have collapsed and died long ago! And through that already very weak soul power, Yun Bai still felt a very weak energy at the core that made her palpitate and disgusted!
