The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 64 The Dead Lilac Tree
I waved my hand: "Don't come here. What are you looking for?"

The third uncle shook his head and said, "How would I know?"

I was dizzy: "You don't know what else to look for?"

The third uncle glared at me: "You boy, I just praised you for being talented. I didn't know what, so I went looking for it. Think about it, didn't Fei Yao rummage around when she went back? I think this Certainly not of her own will."

I nodded: "That is to say, she was controlled by other things. In fact, that thing wanted to find such a thing. Could it be the cat's fault?"

"I can't tell. It may be something else. The attic is too old. There are too many things hidden in it, so it will be difficult to judge alone. Before we find out the truth of the matter, we will not stay at night." went."

Thinking about everything I experienced at night, I still feel my scalp tingling, and hearing what Uncle San said, it's the best.

I also understand that Uncle San's next plan is to go to the attic to search for things. It is still unknown whether he can find anything.

I slept well that night, and Third Uncle also recovered a lot of energy. When we woke up the next morning, we were basically resurrected with full blood.Since we were working during the day, we only prepared some necessary things and prepared to get on the bus and go to the ancient street.

In the car, I asked my third uncle if I should take Xu Ruoxi with me.

The third uncle glared at me: "You don't have such a burden, don't you feel bad? Let me tell you, bringing her into the attic, I fucking regret it."

But I said, "Third Uncle, it's a bit too much for you to say that. If she hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't have thought of rushing out of that net, would we?"

The third uncle waved his hand impatiently: "Then he won't bring it either."

I shrugged my shoulders: "All right, all right, it's up to you to take it or not."

After I finished speaking, I laughed secretly in my heart, this time my third uncle wanted to cheat people, but I didn't expect to give myself a lot of fuss.

We drove to the ancient street again, this time we were familiar with the road, and came directly to the door of the attic.

When passing through the ancient street, everything is as usual.The sun rises as usual, and the bricks and tiles of the ancient street, every plant and tree are so natural.Nothing changed because of what happened the night before.

I even feel that there are more visitors today than that day.

We came to the gate of No. 14 Ancient Street, the gate was ajar, and I can still recall the scene of us running out of the gate in embarrassment.

Fortunately, it's daytime now, otherwise, if you give me some courage, I wouldn't dare to take half a step here.

Even so, before entering the door, the third uncle still asked me to surround the black tiger with a net and a mahogany sword.When he did that, I got nervous again.

The third uncle saw that I was ready, so he stepped forward and gently opened the courtyard door, and walked in.

I also followed in. Although the sun was not very bright at this time, and most of the courtyard was covered by the courtyard wall, it still looked very depressed and deserted.There are still many messy cat paw prints left on the ground, so dense that it is impossible to see the number.

The third uncle first stood in the middle of the yard, looked around for a while, and then walked towards the two lilac trees.

When the third uncle came here last night, he found that the two lilac trees were not normal.It's just that we didn't stay here too much to observe because of the darkness.This time, the third uncle set his sights here again.

When he got near the lilac tree, Third Uncle suddenly stopped in his tracks as if he had discovered something.

I followed and found something strange.

The ground was densely covered with footprints left by those cats, but only within one meter around a lilac tree, the ground was kept extremely smooth without any trace of footprints.

It is not difficult to imagine the scene at that time, a large number of cats gathered in this yard, but only under this lilac tree, those cats did not dare to go too far.

What was even more bizarre was that after only two days, the lilac tree had withered.

When we came last night, although a lot of leaves were pulled down from this tree, it was still alive, and some of the remaining leaves were still green.But by this time, the leaves had turned yellow, and the branches and trunk had become dry, looking like a dead tree.

According to the laws of nature, the death of a tree is inevitable, but it is obviously abnormal to die like this in just two days.

The third uncle frowned, stepped forward with the mahogany sword in hand, and looked under the tree.

He pierced the mahogany sword into the ground for more than half a foot, then lifted the sword up, and a sword hole appeared in the ground.

Then, he took out a box of matches from his bag and lit one with a snap.

The flames blazed up, and the third uncle put the flames on top of the sword hole.

Something unexpected happened, the flame flickered a few times, and went out with a puff.

"Third Uncle, what's going on?"

The third uncle took the matches, and said in a deep voice: "Under the tree, there is all dead energy. The soil has no vitality at all, and there is no earth energy. Without the earth energy, no wonder the tree will wither like this. There must be something under here , There are tools in the trunk of the car, bring them here and let's dig."

I responded, went to the car outside, and took a set of digging tools.It's a tool like a simple foldable engineer shovel, which is relatively portable. The third uncle has been throwing it in the trunk all the time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

I was holding an engineering pickaxe, and my third uncle was holding an engineering shovel, working together.The soil under the tree was very dry and not sticky, and it was not very difficult to dig. After a while, we dug down more than a foot deep.

When I dug down, I found that the roots of the tree were all rotten.

After I dealt with the root of the tree, I simply uprooted the dead tree with all my strength.

We dug down another two feet, about one meter in total, and the third uncle suddenly shouted: "Yes, be careful."

We carefully cleaned up the surrounding soil, and a box was gradually exposed.

Seeing the box, I was pleasantly surprised: "Third Uncle, this can't be ocean or jewelry buried here by rich people, right?"

The third uncle snorted coldly: "Death comes from this box, even if it is jewelry and oceans, do you dare to use it? Stop talking nonsense, put on leather gloves, and dig that box up."

I nodded, and then planed a few picks along the box, and gently lifted the box out of the ground.

There was still a lot of floating dirt on the box, so the third uncle took a look at me and asked, "Yangzi, let me test you, what do you think this box is made of?"

"It should be a copper box, right? As you said, copper can lock the soul. Usually things like this are made of copper boxes." I responded.

The third uncle nodded: "I have made progress, as expected of me, Li Dongbin, who taught you. This is not in vain for my cultivation of you."
