On a willow tree more than three meters high, it turned out that... There was only one leaf!

How shocking was that? How inexplicable? When I was in elementary school, there were many willow trees planted in the school playground, and the willow trees were so leafy that it was most comfortable to sit under the willow trees in the summer, so I had the impression that the willow trees were full of leaves.

In winter, when the leaves fall off, there will be no leaves, but now the weather is not the time to fall out, right?

But I look at the whole tree. Only on the highest branch, there was a green willow leaf, and there was no second one.

The ghost monkey danced at my feet, squeaked with joy, as if he had found the answer, I scratched my head, and the ghost monkey pointed to the leaf, and then straightened a finger and raised it to me, as if deliberately reminding me that there was only one leaf on this willow tree.

I said no, the old gentleman deliberately asked me to count the leaves on the willow tree, the intention of which I still don't understand, but things are definitely not so simple, a leaf is such a simple thing, even kindergarten children can count it.

I hesitated, I stood under the tree and didn't know what to do, and now if I went back to the temple and told the old man that there was only one leaf on the tree, would the answer be right or wrong?

I wasn't sure about this, so I could only raise my head and look at the branch stupidly, looking back and forth, thinking that there must be other leaves on a certain branch, maybe this leaf is very small and has just sprouted. And the old gentleman's purpose in doing this was to test my powers of observation.

That's how I comforted myself, but I couldn't find a second leaf after standing under the tree for at least half an hour, and although the cold wind in the valley was blowing in gusts, there were still beads of sweat on my forehead.

"Haven't you counted the leaves on this willow tree?" Suddenly, a deep voice sounded from behind, and I turned to see a tall man with a bronze bell, standing at the door of the backyard, looking at me and the ghost monkey.

"The qualifications of the juniors are dull, and they haven't been able to count them for the time being." I whispered.

"Hahahaha, is it that hard to count leaves?" The man laughed loudly, and judging from his appearance, this man was informal, and he strode under the willow tree, looked up and looked at it only once, and said, "Isn't there only one leaf on the great willow tree, from top to bottom?" ”

With that, he patted me on the shoulder. And that's gone.

I was stunned, as if I sensed some code word, or some allusion, from his simple words, but my brain was just like a meteor, and after a moment I lost my inspiration.

There was no way, I couldn't keep blowing the cold wind in the backyard, so I went back to the hall to look for the gray-haired old man, but when I returned to the hall, the Taishi's chair was already empty, and I didn't know where the old man had gone.

I scratched my head, my brain was about to explode, how could there be weirdness everywhere in this yard? It's like a story in a fast.

Just when the ghost monkey and I didn't know what to do next, a child suddenly walked over to the main gate of the hall, estimated to be seven or eight years old, very naïve, and said, "Sir, you come with me, and I will take you to rest." ”

I looked down at the ghost monkey, and the ghost monkey looked up at me, and both the monkey and the monkey were stunned. But he followed the child towards the east wing of the courtyard, and stopped at a red wooden door carved with dragons and phoenixes, and made a gesture of please to us.

After working for so long, I finally have a place to rest. When I entered the house, the ghost monkey and I lay down on the kang, and a white candle was lit on the small wooden table on the kang in the house, and the candlelight shone throughout the room, although it was simple, but it was clean and tidy.

"Hey. Get some rest and continue your journey south tomorrow. I patted the little monkey on the head, closed my eyes, and fell asleep dimly, but before I could fall asleep, I heard a thump-thump-thump-thump sound from all over the valley.

I sat up straight from the bed, trembling with anger, and said to the ghost monkey, "Little monkey, everyone in this courtyard is sick!" I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what a bell to ring! ”

The sound of the bell resounded throughout the valley, and the noisy people could not sleep, and I opened the wooden window and looked out, and the sky was still dark, far from the time when it was time to ring the bell in the morning.

can be full of anger, and there is nowhere to release, after all, this is someone's place, and if you live here, you're embarrassed to tear your face, but if you hold back. I don't know when the bell will be heard.

I said in my heart that the young man who swept the floor, the old man sitting on the Taishi's chair, the man with the tiger's back, and the child who led the way at the end, didn't they sleep either? The crux of the matter is: Apart from a few of them, who is the one who rings the bell?

I whispered in the ear of the ghost monkey and said, "Little monkey, you move quickly, go." Hurry up and see who is ringing the bell. ”

The ghost monkey is very clever, and he followed his original master during the Republic of China, that is, the second master in the quagmire, for a while, so the ghost monkey can communicate with me without barriers. At this moment, the ghost monkey opened the window. With a whoosh, he jumped out, and in less than five seconds, the window was smashed open again, and the ghost monkey broke in.

Before I could ask it, its eyes widened anxiously, and its hands danced, first it kept comparing to me the appearance of a bronze bell, then comparing it to a bell-striking instrument, and finally comparing the bronze bell to be struck continuously, but the next action of the ghost monkey made me frightened.

It gestured to the bronze bell being hit, but there was no one next to the bronze bell, and the little ghost monkey hid aside, and kept pointing to the position he had just gestured to, and his mouth squeaked. It means a metaphor that the bronze bell is ringing, but there is no one next to the bronze bell.

This surprised me, I said in my heart: If I continue to stay, God knows what will happen, in case Yu Huabing and Ge Yu chase after me again, it will be even more troublesome, without further ado, let's leave quickly, and find a more normal place to rest.

I got up and pulled the monkey away. At this time, a text message suddenly came from the phone, and when I opened the phone, I saw that the content was like this.

"Break the broom in the courtyard, break the chair in the hall, remove the only leaf on the willow tree, and finally remove the pestle on the bronze bell, and you will understand everything."

The text message is still sent by a stranger, I don't know this number, and I haven't saved it on my phone. I think it might be the master who manipulated the fire raven to help me behind my back.

Immediately, I went out with the ghost monkey, found the broom in the courtyard, grabbed the power of the dragon and snake totem with both hands, and smashed it into my knees.

With a click, the broom snapped. I threw my hand aside.

Walking into the hall, I clenched my hands into fists, grabbed the Taishi chair, held it directly above my head, and smashed it to the ground. smashed the Taishi chair to pieces in an instant.

As for the willow tree in the backyard, relying on the ability of the little ghost monkey, he climbed up and plucked the only willow leaf with the monkey's claw.

Finally, the bell tower in the southwest corner, I went with the ghost monkey. When I arrived at the bronze bell, I pulled out the black light dagger, and under the moonlight, I saw a flash of the blade on the dagger, which swept by in an instant, cut the hemp rope, and the pestle that hit the bell fell to the ground with a bang.

In an instant, all the red lanterns in the entire large courtyard suddenly went out, as if the power was cut off, and the entire courtyard of the villa suddenly fell into darkness.

When I got down from the bell tower and returned to the courtyard, I was surprised to find that the broom that I had broken in two was undamaged in the distance.

The ghost monkey was also stunned, this broom was obviously broken by me, we ran to the hall to see, the Taishi chair was as stable as Mount Tai, placed in the middle of the hall, where was the slightest bit broken?

I was in a hurry, ran over, suddenly grabbed the two handles of the Taishi chair, transported the internal force in the heart of the immortal demon, and used the internal strength taught to me by the ancestor and the ghost king, all of which were used at this moment, and a black demonic flame burst out in my palm, and suddenly a sentence came from the hall: "The master spares his life!" We don't mean to be offended, but we were told to do this to you. ”
