"What is this?"

Li Yu looked at the green thing in his hand, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

The east and the west are in strip shapes, about ten centimeters long.

Irregular, green, very delicate material, and it is very light in hand.

At the same time, a faint wood fragrance emanated, which made Li Yu feel very comfortable and wiped out his previous fatigue.

"Tree Heart!"

A surprised voice suddenly sounded next to him. Li Yu looked at him and found that it was Yue Linglong.

"Why, Linglong, do you know each other?"

Li Yu's eyes were a little surprised.

"My Lord, my subordinates have seen introductions of similar items in the teachings."

Yue Linglong nodded and said respectfully: "The classics once said that a tree may be born after a thousand years. A tree heart is the essence of a thousand-year-old wood. It can be worn regularly to nourish the mind and calm the mind."

"You can also grind it into powder, supplemented with many great medicines such as thousand-year-old ginseng, purple-patterned Ganoderma lucidum, thousand-year-old Polygonatum. You can practice a treasure elixir, which can last for 800 years if eaten!"

After Yue Linglong finished speaking, everyone present had different expressions.

The blood-handed boy even screamed strangely: "Thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old Polygonatum. Even if there is really this thing, eating it raw can prolong your life."

"As a result, such a bunch of things has only lasted 800 years. I'm afraid the person who refined the alchemy took the kickback himself!"

"Although Lao Yu has never been able to speak, this sentence still touches my heart."

Yue Linglong did not refute this time, but instead agreed: "Ninety percent of the things recorded in the book are legendary medicines. The subordinates also think that things are not credible."

"But the statement about Shuxin is very consistent with what the adults have."

Li Yu nodded when he heard this, "No matter whether this thing is a tree heart or not, it is undeniable that it is indeed a treasure."

"Ashan, please take people nearby to find out if there are any missing treasures."

"Subordinates obey the order."

Tieshan bowed his order and left with his men.

After hearing that there might be treasures around, the morale of the Tiance Army rose sharply, so I searched carefully.

Li Yu brought Yue Linglong and the Blood-handed Boy and other Jinyiwei to the temple.

"A thousand-year-old tree can produce the heart of the tree, but the Aoyama Temple has never been a thousand years since its establishment."

He looked at the tree heart in his hand, thinking of Yue Linglong's explanation, and he was skeptical.

"After going back, you can ask someone to check the history of Aoyama Temple."

Under the leadership of Tieshan, the Tiance Army actively cleaned the battlefield.

Even because of Li Yu's words that there may be "treasures", he overturned the soil of Qingshan Temple.

However, the treasures were not found, but a large number of bones were dug out.

Among them, the most bones are buried in the Yaowang Hall in the backyard of Qingshan Temple.

There are even more than a dozen skeletons under the locust tree, which look very new and must have been in trouble recently.

When the Tiance Army was sorting out these bones, it also found many rotten clothes and weapons and armor.

"These people should be Wu You and others who came to Qingshan Temple to surrender demons under the order of County Governor Gu."

Li Yu looked at the Dayu standard armor on the ground and soon thought of the identities of the dozen new bones.

As for other skeletons, they have been around for dozens to hundreds of years from the analysis of rotten clothing styles.

"During the previous dynasty, Qingshan Temple was very prosperous, and even in Dayu, it would have been prosperous for a while."

Li Yu looked at the dug out skeletons on the ground, densely packed with more than two hundred, and his expression couldn't help but move.

"But who would have thought that the underground of Qingshan Temple, which is so famous, is buried in countless lives."

The blood-handed boy stood aside and smacked his lips and said, "There has always been a saying in the world that women, children, and elderly people should not be messed with."

"But in fact, the most important thing to be offended is monks and Taoists. We may want money, sex and fame, but these people want life!"

Yue Linglong was playing with a small blue snake with her right hand, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were extremely cold.

"There is no need to investigate this matter at all. It must be the monks who did it. Unfortunately, Qingshan Temple has disappeared long ago, otherwise... I will definitely arrest them in prison and make some preparations!"

Among these corpses, there are many children and women.

Women even account for the vast majority.

Just thinking about the harm these women might have suffered during their lifetime, Yue Linglong could not calm down.

"Although Qingshan Temple has long disappeared from history, the monks of that year were not without descendants."

Following everyone, Fan Wujiu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke out, which attracted everyone's attention.

“Tell me.”

Li Yu also looked back and signaled the other party to continue talking.

Fan Wujiu bowed and said respectfully: "Sir Hui, my subordinates have read a county annals. It says that the last group of monks in Qingshan Temple did not die more than a hundred years ago, but returned to the secular world and went to Linshui County next door."

"As for whether to settle there in the end, my subordinates don't know. However, from the clues we have mastered, those monks will definitely marry and have children and leave behind their descendants since they have returned to secular life."

When Yue Linglong heard this, her expression was immediately delighted, and her eyes looked at Fan Wujiu a little more gentle.

Li Yu didn't expect that any Jinyiwei would have such a pattern, and he actually knew to read the local county annals.

He was silent for a moment and said, "Since you found this news first, then you will leave it to you to do it."

"Check whether there were descendants of Qingshan Temple back then, and find out the real cause of the deaths of hundreds of people under Qingshan Temple."

Qingshan Temple has become a past dusk. Logically speaking, there is no need for Li Yu to spend time and energy to check.

But he is a bottom line after all.

If you haven’t encountered it, if Fan Wujiu didn’t go to read the county annals.

Then he will definitely not intervene.

But there is no if in the world.

The reason why he asked Fan Wujiu to investigate was to think about how capable the other party was.

Anyway, this case is not particularly important to him.

Being able to achieve is just to enhance his expectations among the people. No one can say that he is wrong.

After all, Qingshan Temple has been destroyed for more than a hundred years.

Finally, Li Yu took action himself and cut a deep pit out of the open space on the mountainside.

Buried the hundreds of skeletons in.

A stone tablet was inserted.

Qingshan Temple has 432 tombs of the dead!

Signature: Li Yu, the governor of Wuling County.

On the back of the stele, there is the name of the deceased whom Wu You knew so much.

Not many, only one.

Then Li Yu and others went down the mountain and met with the left-behind troops such as Yue Feng and Yu Zhen.

As for the tree demon body, it was cut into more than a dozen sections by Li Yu and brought to the foot of the mountain.

When the two sides met, Li Yu ordered someone to go back to the city to find the carriage first.

In the main account of the military camp, Li Yu sat in the main seat, and Yue Feng, Yue Linglong and others sat on both sides below.

"It's so exciting, but unfortunately I didn't see it with my own eyes!"

After hearing the battle on the mountain, Yue Feng waved his fist hard, and his face showed regret.

Yu Zhen next to him was also full of surprise. The development of this world has gradually exceeded his cognition.

A brief meeting ended soon, and the news that Li Yu was winning and the tree demon bowed his head spread in the military camp.

Everyone looked excited and shouted long live.

Li Yu sat in the tent and heard excited cheers outside.

He smiled softly, but did not stop him.

This is the first time that the human race has won a great victory since facing ghosts.

The soldiers of the Tiance Army are also humans. They had been suppressed for too long before, so it would be good to release them now.

In the afternoon, Wuling's carriage arrived under the escort of the Tiance army and the constable.

Li Yu had already asked the army to prepare to pull out the camp at any time. As the carriage was in place, the tree demon body was installed and the army officially returned triumphantly.

...

"Victed! Victory!"

"Great victory! Great victory! The county magistrate broke the tree demon in Qingshan Temple and killed eighty-two ghosts!"

In Wuling City, a constable and a spontaneous gangster were riding horses and constantly proclaiming loudly on the streets.

In a short time, the entire Wuling City learned about this news.
