Chapter 137 Seven evil locust trees

But I saw that there was a shrine near the old pagoda tree, and inside the shrine was Lu Dongbin, and a little further ahead was an incense burner, which was burning with fragrance, and wisps of green smoke entwined around the old locust tree on the trunk of the tree.

The trunk of this old pagoda tree branched out into seven big branches, and from the big branch branched out densely packed small branches, and from the small branches were divided into thinner branches, and on the thinnest trunk were the leaves of the pagoda tree.The strange thing is that the branches from these branches are all seven.

At first, I thought it was a coincidence, so I stared at the old locust tree and counted. Yes, the whole old locust tree is divided into seven big branches, and on the seven big branches are divided into seven small branches. As for whether it is seven or not? The leaves, because the distance is a bit far, I can't count, but, as far as I guess, it should also be seven.

At that moment, I pulled Mr. Wu next to me and said, "Mr. Wu, I need a piece of pagoda tree branch with leaves."

He looked at me suspiciously and said, "Do you want the branches of the pagoda tree with leaves?"

I originally wanted to ask the branches of the locust tree to count the leaves, but Mr. Wu would definitely not be willing to do so, so I had to say to him: "I need to use the branches to determine the age of this old locust tree and some knowledge."

Hearing what I said, Mr. Wu showed a bitter expression on his face, and asked me, "Can't you tell just by seeing?"

To be honest, I can see that when I looked at the locust tree just now, I have already seen that the age of the locust tree should be about 190 years old, but I didn't say it, so I said to Mr. Wu, "The boy just entered the industry. , not yet that way."

That old man Wu glanced at me dubiously, and walked straight towards the old locust tree without saying a word.

Looking at his back, I looked around the old locust tree, and found that the vegetation around the old locust tree was extraordinarily lush, but, strangely, the seemingly lush vegetation had a strange color, dark red.

I walked towards the left side of the old locust tree. The place was relatively empty and there were no people there. I squatted down and touched the soil, which was very rough. From the perspective of the soil, the soil was relatively fat. He pulled out some grass and put it in front of his nose to smell it.

I don't know if there is something wrong with my nose, or what is going on, but I think the grass has a bloody smell.

This made me frown. If the grass has a bloody smell, those who come here to pray for blessings should be able to smell it. Generally, grass with a bloody smell is a symbol of bad luck in the countryside. In this case Usually, the grass will be removed, not to mention that it is very unlucky if the grass grows beside the old locust tree.

Just when I had this thought, there was a noise from the old locust tree. I turned my head and saw that Mr. Wu was arguing with some middle-aged men in security clothes.

I smiled wryly, when I let Mr. Wu pass by, I knew that the branches and leaves of this old pagoda tree were not easy to pick.The reason is very simple, Du Sanniang regards this old locust tree as a Fengshui tree, how can I let people pick the branches, and the reason why I let Mrs. Wu pass is because I want to count the leaves, and secondly, out of selfishness, I want to take revenge on Wu. I don't care about the life and death of those people in the dormitory.

What surprised me was that Mr. Wu didn't know what he said to those middle-aged men. In an instant, those middle-aged men became respectful and sent Mr. Wu away.

Hell.

I muttered a word, and found that Mr. Wu had already walked towards me. He first handed me the locust tree branch in his hand, and then he kept an old face and said nothing.

I took the branches of the locust tree and counted the leaves carefully. As I expected, there were exactly seven leaves on each thin paper strip. A word flashed through my mind, Seven evil tree.

I'll go, it can't really be the Seven Evil Tree!
At the moment, I didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately asked Mr. Wu, "How far is this locust tree from the place where the temple is built?"

He didn't seem to understand why I asked such a question, looked at me in confusion, and didn't speak.

I asked another question, and he said, "The pagoda tree is separated from the temple by Niuwang village, one is in the extreme south, and the other is in the extreme north."

"That's right!" I muttered, turned around and ran towards the Jianshen Temple. Mr. Wu asked me why I was going, but I didn't hide it from him, and said that the old locust tree had probably turned into a tree. Seven evil locust trees.

The so-called Qisha pagoda tree is actually a pagoda tree, and the pagoda tree has been handed down to this day. Most people think that the pagoda tree is an evil tree, a ghost tree, and there is even a saying that "no mulberry is planted in front of the door, and no pagoda tree is planted behind the house". , but in ancient times it was just the opposite. The locust tree symbolized auspiciousness and auspiciousness. Before the Tang Dynasty, the locust tree was regarded as a sacred tree. The month of the month is called Huaihuang.

But all of this was rewritten in the Tang Dynasty. The reasons for this were quite complicated, and some religious beliefs were also involved. , one is the ordinary old locust tree, which is the locust tree we usually see, and the other is the seven evil locust tree.

At first, the seven evil locust tree refers to the seven big branches on the trunk of the locust tree. It is well known that the locust tree has very few branches, usually two to five branches. Later, some carpenters discovered that this kind of seven evil locust tree The things made were no different from ordinary locust trees, so the scope of Qisha locust tree was narrowed down, and it was believed that there were seven small branches on the big tree branch to be Qisha locust tree.

However, it was later discovered that the things made of such locust trees were still the same, so they narrowed down the scope of Qisha locust tree again. Some carpenters thought that the number of branches and leaves of Qisha locust tree should be seven.

It is exactly like this that the Qishahuai was completely confirmed. Later, some carpenters found that the things made of Qishahuai were indeed a bit evil, so they said to some people that Qishahuai was unlucky.

The folk custom in China is: what comes out of A's mouth will definitely be exaggerated in B's mouth, and it will be magnified countless times in C's mouth.Just like that, because of the unluckyness of the Qisha locust tree, the whole locust tree was misunderstood, and there was no distinction between the Qisha locust tree and the locust tree.

As for why Qishahuai is evil, even now there is no conclusion.However, both carpenters and us ghost craftsmen are quite taboo about this kind of seven evil locust trees.

When I told Mr. Wu all this, his expression became condensed, and he asked me, "You mean that old pagoda tree is Qisha pagoda tree?"

I hummed and said, "Then Du Sanniang has been enshrining Qishahuai for so long, I guess that Qishahuai has a spiritual energy, I am afraid that the whole Niuwang Village will never have a peaceful day, even..."

Having said that, I dare not go on.

Then Elder Wu asked me why I didn't say anything, I glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "It is rumored that the Seven Evil Trees become spirits, and everyone who gets close to it will die within seven days."
