Chapter 7 The Spiritual Tree (3)

Erdan was crying anxiously, got up from the ground and chased outside, and I followed.

For some reason, Cuihua was running very fast at this time. We only saw her back running towards the southeast of the village, so we chased after her.

After running for about four to five minutes, I had already chased out of the village and arrived at the foot of the mountain outside the village.

Looking around, I saw an old locust tree growing at the foot of the mountain. The tree was more than a few feet high and as thick as several people hugged. Shade, enough to shade the sun and light in summer, and shelter from wind and rain in cloudy days.At this time, there was a person standing under the tree, which was very conspicuous in the middle of the night.

We recognized this person at a glance, who else could it be if it wasn't Cuihua?

Seeing that Cuihua ran to the old locust tree and stopped, Erdan cried anxiously, saying that Cuihua must hang herself there.

Of course I also know this, but I have another guess, that is, there must be something wrong with the old locust tree in front of me, maybe it is the ghost that caused Cuihua's accident, maybe this old locust tree has become a ghost!

Running to the tree, seeing that Cuihua was really holding a tree vine and wrapping it around her neck, Er Dan hurried over, hugged her, and scolded Cuihua for being stupid.But I hurriedly opened my eyes, and then I saw a huge branch of the old locust tree suddenly stretching out towards Er Dan and the others...

If I hadn't been used to seeing ghosts and ghosts, I would have been terrified by this thing. Think about it, in the middle of the night, suddenly discovering that a big tree in front of you is alive, who wouldn't be afraid?

At this moment, Er Dan also noticed something was wrong, and was startled with fright. Although he was extremely frightened, in order to save Cuihua, he did not run away.

When I saw this scene, I was sure that the tree in front of me was not simple, so I hurriedly shouted to Er Dan, quickly take off your clothes and light it, that thing will be afraid of fire.

Hearing my yell, Erdan didn't hesitate, took off his clothes, took out the lighter and lit it, and the flame suddenly ignited, and soon a big fire ignited.And the branch stretching towards them stopped spreading instantly, swaying left and right in the night...

At this time, I also took off my clothes, lit it, and threw it under the tree.Then he ran under the tree to help, hugged Cuihua down and ran back...

Although we rescued Cuihua and escaped from under the old locust tree, the old locust tree did not stop there, because when we were running towards the village, we saw a huge black shadow of a fork moving quickly along the moonlight. It spread towards us, chasing us closely.

I know that I can't escape like this, but fortunately, when I was thinking about what to do, a straw pile appeared in front of my eyes. This kind of straw pile is stored for the cattle to eat during the winter.

Seeing the pile of straw, I was overjoyed, because I knew that it was the old pagoda tree that was making trouble with us. The tree belongs to wood, no matter how powerful it is, it would still be afraid of fire. He rushed towards the straw pile, and then set all the dry straw on fire.

The straw was very dry, and the flames shot up into the sky immediately. Because there were so many straws, the fire almost illuminated half the village.Looking at the black shadow of the tree fork biting us behind us, it has retreated and disappeared...

When I got back to Erdan's house, Cuihua was fine. Erdan held Cuihua in his arms, and the two of them cried together immediately.Soon, the rooster crowed, and the sky was faintly pale. We finally relaxed our whole body, knowing that the night was finally over...

After the sky was bright, we remembered the hemp rope that inexplicably appeared on the emerald flower bed last night, so we rushed to the room to look for it again, but we were surprised to find that the hemp rope disappeared inexplicably It's gone, even though we searched the entire room, we couldn't find a trace, as if the hemp rope had never appeared...

Of course, because the fire that lit up half the village alarmed the villagers, some villagers ran over early in the morning and asked what happened last night.

I didn't go into too much detail, but told them that it was the straw pile that was on fire.But I told the villagers that the old locust tree in the southeast of the village has become a climate, because something happened to Cuihua, and it was the old locust tree that caused the trouble.

This frightened the villagers, and they asked me if the old locust tree had become a spirit.

In fact, I also thought that the old locust tree had become a spirit last night, but when I saw that the locust tree just stretched out a black shadow to chase us, I knew that it had not yet become a spirit, just because the ancient tree had experienced hundreds of winds and rains. In the first year of the year, he absorbed the aura of heaven and earth and accumulated a lot of grievances, so he became a tree of summoning souls.

But fortunately, it hasn't become a spirit yet, otherwise we might have to confess there last night. You know, I can't deal with spirits with this ability.

I told the villagers that the locust tree in the southeast of the village is called the Evoking Soul Tree, which is why it is very unlucky to the women in this village. The women in the village will not live long, and sometimes commit suicide, hang themselves and other mental disorders.

The Calling Soul Tree, to put it bluntly, is an ancient tree with spirituality and the accumulation of grievances.You must know that ancient trees can absorb the aura of the sun and the moon and the surrounding resentment, such as the graves buried in the big tree, for example, someone hanged themselves in that tree, and even buried the corpses of some animals around the big tree. It will cause the old tree to accumulate resentment, and after a long time, trouble will arise.

In fact, the soul-calling tree is very common. All Feng Shui masters know that as long as there is such a tree in the southeast, on a moonlit night, there will be a large fork shadow stretching towards the village along the moonlight. This is called soul-calling. Tree.Therefore, it is best not to leave old trees in the southeast of the village to avoid disasters.

Of course, it is not difficult to dissolve this kind of soul-calling tree, as long as you hang red cloth strips on the tree forks, the soul-calling tree will no longer be troublesome.Because the red cloth is to ward off evil spirits, it is hung on the tree fork and can be used to press the tree fork to make trouble.

It is often seen now that some big or ancient trees are covered with red cloth strips, but people now think that it is for blessing or wishing, so many young people write their own words on the cloth strips or paper cloth. Names and wishes are hung on the branches of the tree fork.In fact, what kind of wishing tree is this? The reason why it becomes a big tree covered with cloth strips is one reason, to prevent this tree from stretching out its weird and vicious hands in the middle of the night to disturb the people!
Closer to home, I told the villagers how to solve it, and the villagers would not believe it. They went home that day and found the red cloth, tore it into rags, and hung the whole old locust tree with red rags!

Originally, I came to find the murderer who burned my shop, but I never expected to encounter such a thing, but seeing that I can resolve the matter smoothly and resolve the disaster for the villagers, I will not hesitate to make this trip.After all, my grandfather told me before he was alive, do more good deeds, and accumulate more virtues.

Originally, I thought that this matter would come to an end like this. I originally thought that the village would be peaceful. I originally thought that the villagers should continue to live a safe and happy life, but I never thought that when I was about to leave Erdan’s house, Suddenly, a villager ran in and shouted at us as he ran: "It's bad, it's bad, just now Liu Xiaohai in the village died suddenly for no reason!"

This news undoubtedly stunned me. Isn't there a red cloth hanging on the Emancipation Tree?Shouldn't everything be fine?Why are there still accidents in the village now?Could it be that the tree of summoning souls is still doing mischief?If it wasn't caused by the spirit-emanating tree, then what could be the reason?

All of this made me completely confused. Of course, there was another doubt in my mind all the time, that is where the fire that burned my shop came from.

Hastily followed the man who reported the letter to Liu Xiaohai's home. At this time, his wife and children were crying and crying. Liu Xiaohai was only under 30 years old. The ones left as soon as they said they would, and no family could bear this kind of change.

Guo Village is a village named after a large family with the surname Guo. Although the surname Liu is a foreign surname, something happened to Liu Xiaohai again inexplicably, and the people surnamed Guo couldn't sit still anymore.Not long after I arrived at Liu's house, the old patriarch of the Guo family also came over, took my hand and begged me to save the old and young in this village.

I was very helpless, never felt so much more than I wanted but not enough energy.But seeing that the people in the village regard me as their only life-saving straw, how can I ruthlessly refuse their request? Do I make them despair?

I sighed, nodded and agreed to their request, saying that I would try my best.
