Chapter 72 Lifting the "Curse"

Huai Village has existed here for a long time, but the people of Huai Village don't know exactly how long.

I only know roughly that it has a history of at least several hundred years.

Because after that war, almost everything in Huai Village was burned down, and all the longer historical records about Huai Village were also lost.

Therefore, most of the people in Huai Village now do not know their true origins, and the few who know do not dare to talk nonsense.

Su Ting's words are undoubtedly subversive to the current Huai Village people's cognition.

"What do you mean our lives were saved by the old locust tree? Aren't we all living well?"

"It was the old locust tree that harmed us, right? Otherwise, how could we suddenly turn into trees?"

"That's right! Chief, is the little girl you found reliable?"

"I have never seen such a young master."

……

What Su heard made some villagers at the scene find it ridiculous and started talking about it.

Wang Qiang and Wang Jianmin tried to persuade them, but these villagers could not accept that their lives were saved by the person they had always thought was the culprit.

Su Ting looked at it and was not surprised.

Looking past the villagers, he looked at the old locust tree at the entrance of the village that almost blocked the sky and the sun.

Sighed in my heart.

A gust of wind blew, and the branches and leaves of the old locust tree swayed slightly in the wind.

It was as if he was walking to say goodbye to Su Ting and the people in the village.

"If you want to be rescued, there is only one way to give up the old locust tree at the entrance of the village."

What Su heard made the noisy square quiet for an instant.

Su Ting looked at everyone and continued: "In the war, your ancestors all died under the enemy's gunfire. The old locust tree at the entrance of the village had a tree spirit for a long time. In order to save your ancestors, they gave up their own path to enlightenment. Opportunity to resurrect your ancestors."

"But your ancestors were already dead and should have entered reincarnation long ago. After being revived by the old locust tree using special methods, they can no longer be regarded as real humans."

"Although he still retains his own thoughts and looks no different from ordinary people, he will still die once he leaves the protection of the old locust tree."

"Because you rely on the spiritual power of the old locust tree to continue to exist. Over time, you can be understood to have been assimilated by the old locust tree."

"So after you leave the old locust tree for a period of time, your bodies will slowly undergo alienation, which is what you call tree transformation."

What Su heard made the scene fall into silence.

Everyone couldn't believe what they heard.

How can this be?

They are all people!A living person!

How could he be dead long ago?

How could it be a monster that relies on old locust trees to survive?

Su Ting waited for a while and gave these people a chance to digest.

Wang Qiang and Wang Jianmin were listening nearby, also silent, acquiescing to Su Ting's words.

After a moment, Su Ting spoke again: "So there are only two ways to remove the so-called 'curse' on you. "

After a while, someone asked: "What can we do?"

"The root of the 'curse' is that you are borrowing your lives from the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. If you want to eliminate the mutation of this tree, the first way is to borrow your lives from the old locust tree..."

"Go back."

When Su heard this, he paused and observed the reactions of everyone in the square.

Sure enough, when Su Ting said this, the expressions of the villagers changed significantly.

"Return it? Why?"

"Doesn't this mean that we should give our lives back?"

"Then will we die?"

When death was mentioned, everyone's expression changed.

No one is not afraid of death. Even those who have despaired of the world will inevitably still have nostalgia at the last moment when they close their eyes. Doubt is regret.

This is especially true for people in Huaicun.

Even in the face of such a strange fate as Shu Hua, they are still trying to live.

Trying to find ways to continue living.

Su Ting looked at the old locust tree at the entrance of the village again. Perhaps it had already anticipated its outcome.

A long time ago, when it decided to give up its chance to attain enlightenment and save those people, it left no escape route for itself.

Su Ting withdrew his gaze, looked at the villagers below, and replied with a firm tone: "Yes, he will die."

This sentence "will die" completely ignited everyone's panic.

"I don't want to die!"

"What about the second way?"

"It doesn't matter if I die, but my grandson is only three years old! He can't die!"

There were cries and howls at the scene, and those who didn't know thought they were going to die in the next second.

Su Ting's expression did not change much, as if he had expected this result.

"The second method is to kill the old locust tree and use its remaining spiritual power to completely resurrect you all."

What Su heard made the scene fall silent again.

Maybe they didn't even think of the second way.

Or maybe some people have actually thought about it but haven't said it out loud before.

But now Su Ting spoke out the darkest thoughts in his heart in the calmest tone.

But soon they became confident again.

These words were not said by them, but by the master!

They just want to live, is that wrong?

How could it be wrong to want to live?

After hearing this, Su asked: "Now, the choice is in your hands, whether to live or..."

Su Ting did not ask the whole question because she felt that these people would not choose another option.

After Su heard what he wanted to say, he stood there quietly waiting for their choice.

Wang Qiang and Wang Jianmin didn't speak either.

This matter is related to everyone's life and death. Although Wang Jianmin is the village chief, he has no power to decide everyone's life or death.

The villagers at the scene started talking quietly and then started arguing loudly.

Su Ting watched the whole process quietly.

In fact, I feel relieved, at least not everyone chooses to send the old locust tree to die without hesitation.

At least there are still some people who are grateful to the old locust tree.

Although the final result is still the same, the minority has never been able to fight against the majority.

There are not so many miracles in the world.

"Have you thought about it?" Su Ting took a look at the sky and didn't intend to waste any more time.

There was a sudden silence.

After about a few minutes, someone finally couldn't help but said: "Master, we have decided!"

"The result." Su Tingyan asked succinctly.

"We want to live!"

the man shouted.

No one at the scene refuted, just looked at Su Ting silently.

A few people lowered their heads, perhaps out of intolerance or out of guilty conscience.

Su Ting was not surprised and nodded.

"understood."

Wang Qiang looked grave, looked at Su Ting and asked, "Miss Su Ting, do we need to make any arrangements?"

Su Ting shook her head, "No need."

"Don't you need to prepare anything?" Wang Jianmin also asked.

"No need, it's all ready."

"Who?" Everyone was stunned.

Su Ting suddenly looked at everyone with a mocking look on his face, "Who do you think you are?"

After saying that, he turned around and headed towards the entrance of the village.

Only one sentence was left: "Carry the person who has turned into a tree into the ancestral hall, and the rest of the people will follow me to the entrance of the village." Everyone looked at each other, with confusion and confusion on each other's faces.

"what does it mean?"

Wang Qiang immediately said: "What are you still doing? Why don't you just do what Miss Su said!"

Then everyone hurriedly got up, carried the stretcher, and carried the relatives who had turned into trees into the ancestral hall.

Fortunately, the ancestral hall is large enough, otherwise it would be impossible to accommodate so many people.

After putting these tree-turned people into the ancestral hall, their parents were a little worried.

"Is it okay to just leave them in the ancestral hall with no one to take care of them?"

"This is an ancestral hall, what can happen?"

Wang Jianmin also said: "Okay, you all quickly go to the entrance of the village to find Miss Su. I will watch from here."

"Village chief, aren't you going to go?"

"I won't go there. I am the village chief and I have to watch the ancestral hall. Besides, I was originally a member of the tree transformation, but Miss Su used a special method to temporarily help me recover."

Wang Qiang also said: "Okay, this is all arranged by Miss Su in advance. The others will go to the village entrance with me now."

Seeing that there were still people complaining, Wang Qiang's tone became serious, "Hold on, you are still wasting your time here. Do you still want to lift the curse?"

As soon as these words were said, the villagers immediately did not dare to waste any more time and ran towards the entrance of the village in a hurry.

At the entrance of the village, Su Ting stood in front of the old locust tree and reached out to touch the trunk of the old locust tree.

Feeling that the spiritual power in the old locust tree was almost exhausted, he sighed.

"Do you regret it?"

A breeze blew by, and an old voice sounded.

"This world is full of regrets and dissatisfaction. Everyone has his own way to go. Demons also have their own path to choose."

Su Ting turned around and looked at the old man on the other side of the old locust tree.

"So this is the path you have chosen?"

The old man smiled kindly and said, "My path was chosen long ago."

Su Ting looked at the smile on the old man's face, and there was no darkness at all.

He accepted the result calmly.

Su Ting sneered, "Stupid."

The old man was not angry either. He turned to look at the village and saw the group of villagers running from a distance.

It seemed as if he saw the group of children who gathered around him and called him Grandpa Tree with a smile many years ago.

Maybe at that moment, fate had already written the ending for him.

The old man looked back at Su Ting. He was not angry at Su Ting's impolite words. He looked at her with a smile and said, "My little friend, maybe my choice seems stupid to you, but I think it's worth it. Maybe one day You will also meet someone, or a group of people, who will make you give up your persistence and make you willing to give everything for it."

"What is Tao? My Tao is to follow your heart."

Su Ting rolled her eyes and was too lazy to talk nonsense to him.

After living for thousands of years, I still end up living like a "love brain".

The love brain is still awake, but this old locust tree will not realize it until death.

"I don't care about your ways. Since you are going to die, do you have any objection if I take your body?"

The old man looked up at his own body, "My little friend, can you not take them all away? At least, leave them some thoughts."

Su Ting wanted to roll her eyes again.

I want to say that even if you want to stay, they may not be willing to do so.

But after taking a look at the old face of the old locust tree, I thought for a while and still didn't say anything.

After all, the whole tree must be hers in the end.

"Miss Su!"

Su Ting looked back at Wang Qiang and others who were coming behind him, "Are you all here?"

"All right!" Wang Qiang nodded.

"Ah."

Su Ting turned around and looked at the old locust tree behind him. The old man had disappeared.

Su Ting paused for a moment, and couldn't help but secretly curse "stupid" again.

No matter when, Su Ting felt that sacrificing himself for humanity was the stupidest decision!
And this old locust tree obviously saved these people, but in the end he didn't even dare to see these people.

Stupid and cowardly.

"Let's get started, everyone, hold hands and sit down cross-legged around the old locust tree."

Su obeyed, and although everyone was confused, they still followed the instructions.

After everyone was seated, Su Ting stood next to the thick trunk of the old locust tree and looked up at the branches and leaves of the old locust tree.

"I give you one last chance to regret it. I give them a chance to choose, and you also have a chance to choose. If you are unwilling to continue to sacrifice yourself to fulfill them, I will stop."

What Su heard made the sitting villagers commotion.

But Su Ting didn't care at all, she was just waiting for the old locust tree's answer.

Just when the villagers could hardly sit still, an old voice sounded.

"I won't regret it, let's get started."

Su Ting was silent for a moment, "Okay."

"Thank you."

After the old locust tree thanked him, there was no more sound.

The villagers became quiet one by one after hearing the sound of the old locust tree.

Now after listening to the conversation between Lao Huaishu and Su Ting, there was surprise and doubt on his face, looking at Su Ting who wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

Su Ting didn't explain to them, but just said: "It's begun."

The next second, everyone saw Su Ting clasping his hands together in front of him.

His fingers flew faster and faster.

Everyone could only catch an afterimage in their eyes, and could not clearly see her gestures.

At the end of the last gesture, a golden light spread out from Su Ting's fingertips.

"Disperse!"

Su heard a shout and opened his arms wide.

The golden light spread quickly and enveloped the old locust tree.

Everyone felt the golden light was dazzling and subconsciously closed their eyes.

After the golden light fell on the old locust tree, it paused for a moment and then quickly shrank inwards.

When the golden light was compressed to the limit, it exploded.

In an instant, golden light shot into the sky.

Su Ting was shocked and quickly set up a barrier to cover the changes in the entire Huai Village.

Even though the speed was fast enough, people outside still noticed the abnormality at that moment.

"What was that just now?"

"It seems like it was done by Huai Village next door."

"Go and take a look? Are there any treasures?"

"The village is very evil. Could it be some evil spirit?"

"Just go and take a peek from a distance. If you don't go in, you'll be fine!"

……

The changes in Huai Village have attracted the attention of people in several surrounding places. Although they are wary of Huai Village, there are still people who are not afraid of death and want to gain wealth through danger.

At the same time, strange movements were also discovered within the four major families, and they all began to explore the specific location.

In Sophora Village, Su Ting knew that the situation just now must have attracted the attention of others, so he secretly cursed the old Sophora tree for cheating, while speeding up the movements of his hands.

The barrier blocked the changes in Sophora Village, and Su Ting injected his spiritual power into the trunk of the old Sophora tree.

The golden beam of light slowly dissipated, and the golden light fell from the sky like scattered gold powder.

It fell on the people of Huai Village.

Falling on every piece of land in Huai Village.

Landed on the roof of the ancestral hall.

Everyone just felt that their minds were empty, and then a long-lasting scene was imprinted in their minds like a movie scene.

That was the beginning of the bond between Lao Huaishu and the people of Huai Village.
