C7 True Face
Half an hour ago.
After separating with Zhang Wu Ming, Xie Bian found the Daoist Priest alone and the two of them sat in front of a round table.
The Daoist Priest quickly brewed a pot of tea for Xie Bian. "Come, come, please enjoy your meal."
Xie Bian merely took a glance at this Taoist, and couldn't help but admit that this Taoist's face was full of cowardice, almost the same as when he saw Zhang Wuming.
"May I know the reason for your visit?" It was probably because the Taoist sensed Xie Bian's aura, so he spoke very courteously.
"I heard that you gave Dong Tao a talisman. It seems to be quite useful. I also want to ask for a talisman to see if it's really that effective." Xie Bian slowly said.
Hearing Xie Bian's words, the Daoist Priest immediately became flustered. He continuously used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
"Of course not, of course not!" How am I so amazing? Those talismans aren't mine, boss. You must have heard the rumors and recognized the wrong person! " The Daoist priest frantically tried to defend himself.
However, Xie Bian directly took out the talisman he got from Zhuo Jin. "This thing isn't yours?" "You're the one who transferred Dong Tao's fate, which should've been fatal, to others, one by one, right?"
Hearing that Xie Bian's tone had begun to become a bit angry, the Daoist Priest hurriedly laid down and kowtowed a few times towards Xie Bian. "Boss, boss, don't kill me!" Grandpa! I don't know anything about it. I casually picked up that sigil; I didn't know that it would be like this! "
Xie Bian didn't know whether to be angry or amused when he saw the Taoist desperately begging for mercy in front of him like a dog.
"Forget it, now that it is in my hands, I won't bother with this for now. Are you the one who did this to the tree demon?" Speak the truth! " Xie Bian continued.
Originally, the Daoist priest still looked like he was crying, but the moment Xie Bian finished, his expression immediately returned to normal.
"What are you doing? So you already knew. You made me act for such a long time." With that said, the Daoist Priest waved the horsetail whisk in his hand, and several streaks of black light shot out from within the horsetail whisk.
Xie Bian immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap. He wanted to retreat, but the black light immediately bound Xie Bian tightly from top to bottom. Xie Bian didn't even have time to take out his own weapon before he was stuck on the ground.
At this moment, the Daoist Priest stood up and said, "Alright, stop struggling. White Impermanence, I specially prepared this for you. Enjoy it."
"Play pig to eat the tiger? There's really something on you. " Xie Bian noticed that he couldn't break free, so he stopped resisting.
"Forget about it. I've already figured out who you are. I can't let you ruin my plans." The Daoist said slowly.
However, Xie Bian seemed to have thought of something. As expected, this matter is related to you! "
Hearing Xie Bian's words, the Daoist Priest suddenly laughed. When matched with the strong wind from the south, the Daoist Priest's laughter seemed so terrifying.
I originally planned to capture the two of you together, but who would have thought that Messenger didn't come? Forget it, anyway, with his strength, he's not even strong enough to fight against me, White Impermanence, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I arranged everything. From the moment Dong Tao started chasing after Liu Fan, he fell into my trap. The Daoist said slowly.
Xie Bian was a very understanding person as if he understood what the Daoist meant. "Could it be that you were coveting that old tree's spirit energy from the beginning, that's why …"
At this moment, the Taoist smiled and clapped his hands, "Not bad, as expected of White Impermanence, you actually figured it out in an instant. At this moment, the Taoist smiled and clapped his hands," Not bad, truly worthy of being White Impermanence, you actually understood it immediately.
Xie Bian did not say anything. He was just waiting for that Taoist to say something useful, and that Taoist also continued, "I just let Dong Tao lose his mind a bit, and he killed Liu Fan. Heh, there's nothing else I can do about it.
Originally, Xie Bian seemed to want to say something, but the Taoist continued, "Aiya, I almost forgot something. I'll tell you this as well, in fact, Dong Tao is long dead. He died the first time he got his revenge, but his spirit body is bound within my body."
"Could it be that this is how you let Liu Fan go on the road and then borrowed her resentment to activate the Tree Demoness?" Xie Bian opened his eyes wide. He, who was usually calm, was truly unable to calm down at this moment.
The Daoist Priest, on the other hand, maintained a satisfied look. "Amazing reasoning. After Dong Tao's corpse is buried, I only need to do a little bit of work to have all of my grievances gather on the tree and awaken the tree demon. When that happens, I will lead the heavenly thunder to exterminate the demon and achieve perfection.
That Taoist's arrogant appearance really caused people to be unable to resist punching him a few times, but now, Xie Bian was bound up by him and couldn't move at all.
"The reason I left Dong Tao here is to let Treant keep killing people. Now, he's just missing one person to gather all the nine extremes. When that time comes, I can summon the lightning to exterminate the demons and ascend to the Immortal Realm! Hahaha!" The Daoist Priest was probably overjoyed, so he spoke without the slightest bit of stinginess.
"As a cultivator, you actually don't cultivate properly? Aren't you afraid that you'll miss out on your words by following such a devious path?" Although Xie Bian couldn't move at that moment, he still started to argue.
But that Taoist did not care, "Whatever you say, those mortals are just ants, there's nothing to be afraid of, and you, don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you're White Impermanence. When I become part of the Immortal Class, you will kowtow to me!"
The more that Daoist Priest spoke, the happier he became. He even began to uncontrollably wave his hands, as if he was truly about to become an immortal.
At this time, Zhang Wu Ming was still staying in Dong Tao's home. Dong Tao had been locked up by Zhang Wu Ming, and it seemed that he had regained some of his consciousness.
"Do you understand? "Now that you're dead, everything is meaningless!" Zhang Wu Ming added this sentence after he told the story to Dong Tao.
Dong Tao seemed to be at a loss. After hearing Zhang Wu Ming's words, some strange memories seemed to be slowly surging into his mind.
That day, a bloody fruit knife was in Dong Tao's hand as he kneeled in the yard. The one lying in front of him was the already dead Liu Fan.
"What should we do?" Dong Tao didn't know why he suddenly killed Liu Fan. Indeed, they had argued for a while before. However, Dong Tao suddenly felt his vision turn black. After that, he couldn't remember anything. When he came back to his senses, it was like this.
There was almost nothing in the yard. Other than the Redbud Tree swaying gently in front of Dong Tao, there was nothing else that Dong Tao would be interested in.
A drizzle of rain was falling down from the sky. Although the rain was very small, every drop that fell on Dong Tao's back reminded him of some deadly bell ringing in his mind.
In an instant, Dong Tao even saw his fate in the future. He was tied up on the execution ground, facing the executioner with a gun. With the pull of the trigger, Dong Tao fell to the ground forever.
"We can't just die like this! Bury her, and no one will find out. " At that moment, Dong Tao heard a voice that he didn't know what was going on, whispering into his ear. That voice sounded very hair-raising, but each word was carved into Dong Tao's heart.
Normally, Dong Tao would have been scared to death by now. However, this time, he didn't. This weird sound seemed to be guiding him to something, and Dong Tao also felt that he should follow the voice's instructions to something.
What happened next was exactly what Zhang Wu Ming knew. Dong Tao buried Liu Fan's corpse under the Redbud Tree, and after that, a part of Liu Fan's spirit body was placed within the Redbud Tree. Coupled with that Taoist causing trouble from within, the Tree Demon who thought that he was Liu Fan appeared.
"I'm dead? "Hoh, it is well-deserved. Although Liu Fan is a bit arrogant and spoiled, he isn't so excessive. It is all my fault. I was the one who destroyed everything and even harmed so many people …" Dong Tao seemed to be confessing.
Zhang Wu Ming stepped forward and grabbed Dong Tao by the collar, "You still have the nerve to say that?"
"I didn't know it from the beginning! That Taoist gave me that talisman, and the next day, Old Ma died right in front of me! "When he was crossing the road, he was suddenly knocked away by a large truck and lost his head. This is completely impossible …" Endless blood started to appear in Dong Tao's memories, as if he was about to be completely buried in that moment.
"Also, little Chen was hanged on my floor. When I went back home that night, I saw him hanging there. There was nothing around his neck. He was hung up by something!" Dong Tao continued.
Dong Tao would never forget that day. After he called the police, security arrived at the scene very quickly, but somehow, there was a hemp rope tied around Little Chen's neck. Moreover, his death was really strange.
No matter which way Dong Tao headed, he found that Little Chen's eyeballs were still staring at him, just like a vengeful spirit, forever staring at the person who had caused his death.
In addition, there was a line of blood on Chen's face from both his eyes. He looked just like a vengeful spirit in a horrific movie.
After the security guard took away Little Chen's corpse, Dong Tao returned home in extreme fear. However, just as he entered the house, he saw a familiar figure hanging in his living room.
It was Little Chen!
"Ah!" Dong Tao's legs fell down like mud. At the same time, Little Chen tore off the rope around his neck.
"Give me back my life!" Little Chen floated towards Dong Tao like a ghost.
At this moment, Dong Tao's teeth were chattering nonstop. The muscles all over his body were trembling. It was as if his death god had already grabbed onto his ankles.
