Chapter 129: Burning Trees and Burning Corpses

The master nodded, at this time, the master did not have a trace of complaint in his heart, because Xiao Laodao once again judged correctly, judging from the current tree roots through the coffin, the peach blossom essence must have something to do with this tomb.

So, the grandfather helped Xiao Laodao, first pried open the brick coffin outside the coffin with a shovel, cleaned up the brick coffin residue, and revealed a wooden coffin that had rotted inside.

In fact, at this time, there was no need for Xiao Laodao to signal, the master had already seen it, and saw that this taproot of the peach tree actually penetrated the ceiling and drilled into the coffin, could it be that this peach tree really grew from the body of a dead man?

The two of them quickly opened the coffin again, and at the moment of opening, the two of them couldn't help but gasp at the same time, and saw that in the coffin, there was a lifelike young female corpse, and the roots of the tree passed directly through the mouth of the female corpse, causing the female corpse's chin to open very wide, which looked extremely terrifying, this peach tree, could it be that it grew from the mouth of the female corpse? Taiye and Xiao Laodao glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke. Thank you for the 100 yuan red envelope from my sister.

Ignoring the mouth of the female corpse, the female corpse looks quite good, with a fair complexion, a good face, black and shiny hair, slightly closed eyes, and a peaceful expression, as if she is sleeping peacefully.

"It's a zombie." Xiao Laodao said.

When the master heard this, he glanced at him, needless to say that it was also a zombie, Xiao Laodao immediately raised his hand and pointed at the clothes on the female corpse, "Look at the clothes on her body, they are tattered, not rotten, but rubbed, and there are holes in the tips of her shoes, which means that she often goes out." ”

When the master heard this, his face was stunned, "Could it be that it is this female corpse attached to Lan'er?" ”

Xiao Laodao was noncommittal, looked at the root of the female corpse's mouth, and asked my grandfather, "You say, did this root get into the mouth of the female corpse, or did it grow out of the mouth of the female corpse?" ”

The master said: "It should have been in the mouth of the female corpse, and there is a peach forest on it, how could a peach tree happen to grow in the mouth of the female corpse." ”

"Not bad." Xiao Laodao said: "It should be the person who planted the peach tree, I didn't know that there was a tomb below, and planted the peach tree on the grave, besides, judging from the distance between the peach trees above, it also looks like it was planted by someone." It is a coincidence that the roots of the tree penetrate the coffin, and it is a coincidence that it gets into the mouth of the female corpse, but I am afraid that it is also a coincidence, if I guess correctly, before the peach tree was planted, the female corpse has become the climate, and the roots of the tree pierce the coffin, so that she and the peach tree become one, otherwise, it is impossible to bleed when the peach branch is cut off. ”

At this time, the master was convinced of Xiao Laodao's speculation, nodded in agreement, and said, "Since this is the case, then let's dig out the female corpse and burn it together with the peach tree!" ”

Subsequently, the master used an axe to cut off the roots of the female corpse's mouth, and Xiao Laodao beckoned Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi above, and several people worked together to drag the female corpse out of the grave.

After Taiye and Xiao Laodao came out of the grave, several people worked together to overturn the peach tree, cut off the branches on it with an axe, and cut off two dead trees around it as firewood. After a busy work, the peach tree and the female corpse were set on a pile of firewood, the master shook his hand, threw the torch in his hand on the firewood, and after a while, the fire burned.

At this time, it was already dark, and there were no pedestrians passing by outside the peach forest.

The fire burned until the second half of the night, the peach tree was burned to ashes, and the female corpse was also burned into a ball of black charcoal.

Several people waited until the fire was extinguished, and threw the charcoal-burned female corpse into the tree pit and buried it, but the peach forest was still quiet as usual, as if the peach blossom essence had burned along with the peach tree and the corpse.

After waiting in the peach forest for a while, a few people couldn't stand it, at this time, they were all sleepy, tired and hungry, Xiao Laodao discussed with my grandfather, go back, it's not a matter to wait here, sooner or later, you can't find what you shouldn't come. The master nodded.

By the time a few people dragged their tired bodies back to the inn, it was almost dawn, but to everyone's delight, the girl woke up, and was alive and well.

This made the master and Xiao Laodao breathe a long sigh of relief, the night was finally not in vain, and there was no need to go to the peach forest to summon the girl's spirit, but what made them feel at ease was that the peach blossom essence never appeared, could it be that it was really wiped out with the corpse of the peach tree? Taiye and Xiao Laodao both thought it was unlikely, but if the peach blossom essence hadn't disappeared, where would it be now? This has undoubtedly become the biggest question in the hearts of my grandfather and Xiao Laodao.

After a few people washed up briefly, Xiao Laodao woke up the shopkeeper and gave him a reward, telling him to go to the kitchen to get a few dishes.

The girl hadn't eaten for a day at this time, and when the meal came up, she took the little ghost monkey and accompanied the master to eat and drink together.

At the dinner table, the girl seemed to be impatient to tell the grandfather that she had a very strange dream after falling asleep.

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he motioned for her to tell everyone about her dream, and the girl talked about it endlessly.

At the beginning of the dream, it was a peach forest, the peach forest that cut the peach branches before, but the peach forest in the dream was full of fog, hazy, and the girl was trapped in it and couldn't get out.

When the master and Xiao Laodao heard this, they subconsciously glanced at each other.

Later, when the girl heard someone shouting to her, it suddenly became dark in front of her eyes, and then she opened her eyes vigorously, and when she opened her eyes, she saw my grandfather standing in front of her, and she wanted to say something to my grandfather, but she was too sleepy, and when she closed her eyes, she returned to the peach forest.

I don't know how long I turned in the peach forest, I heard the shouting again, and it became dark in front of her again, she opened her eyes again, and my grandfather stood in front of her again, and she used all her strength to say to my grandfather, she had a dream...... Then, she closed her eyes and returned to the peach forest, and walked around in the peach forest, never hearing the master call her again.

Later, I don't know how long later, there was a sudden fire in the peach forest, and there was fire everywhere, and the girl was surrounded in the middle, and she was so frightened that she ran around, but she couldn't find the exit, and just when the fire was about to burn to her, a person appeared outside the fire, and the person was not afraid of fire, and walked to her from the outside, and the man said to her, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you, come with me......

When the girl said this, the grandfather and Xiao Laodao glanced at each other again, and the grandfather asked, "Who is that?" ”

The girl shook back and said: "It's a thin and short old man, I don't know who he is, later, he waved his hand, a road appeared in the fire, he said to me, go quickly, you can go back along the road, I was very scared, I didn't dare to talk to him, I ran along the road, ran and ran, the inn appeared on the side of the road, I walked into the inn, there was no one in the inn, I quickly ran back into the room, to the room to see, scared me to death, I saw me lying on the bed......"

Speaking of this, the girl's face changed, and the grandfather comforted her: "There is nothing to be afraid of, it's just that the soul is out of the body, and it is your body lying on the bed." ”

The girl suddenly glanced at the master, "But I don't know, I've never encountered this kind of thing, I'll go to your room to look for you, who knows that you are not in the room, I went to the Taoist again, and the Taoist is not there, so I went back to my own room and cried." ”

"And then?" Xiao Laodao asked.

"Later...... Later, the old man came again, he said, save people and send Buddha to the west, I'll help you again, after speaking, he patted me on the back, and I woke up. ”

"Slapped you on the back?" Xiao Laodao asked in amazement.

"Hmm!" The girl nodded vigorously.

The grandfather and Xiao Laodao glanced at each other again, and Xiao Laodao stared at my grandfather and asked, "Brother, this can't be the one who patted the two of us, right?" ”

Xiao Laodao said, and the whole dinner table was silent.

After eating, the grandfather was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he didn't have the heart to figure out who the old man was in the girl's dream. Subsequently, the grandfather went back to the room, and several of them were really tired, and they were busy from the afternoon to the second half of the night, and they were digging trees and graves, and they didn't even have time to catch their breath.

At this time, he said that after returning to the room, he fell asleep, and this night, the master slept very deeply, and he didn't even hear the rooster crow at dawn.

I don't know when I slept, but suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the door outside, "Guest officer, guest officer, have you woken up, someone is looking for someone named Liu Niandao, saying that he lives in your room......"

When the master heard this, he was a spirit in his sleep, and sat up from the bed with a "Teng".

The one who knocked on the door was the shopkeeper in the inn, at this time, the shopkeeper was still knocking on the door, "Guest officer, I told him, there is no one in our store called 'Liu Niandao', he doesn't believe it, he doesn't say that there is, and he said that he lives in your room, if you wake up, can you go downstairs and tell him." ”

The name used by the grandfather to live in the hotel is "Xiao Shi", and the shopkeeper doesn't know the real name of the grandfather, but who will this person come to find the grandfather? How did he know the real name of the grandfather, and how did he know that the grandfather lived here? The grandfather said in his heart, could it be that the enemy has come to the door again? However, if it was really an enemy, it should have broken in a long time ago, where is there such a polite person.

The master hurriedly agreed, and asked the shopkeeper to wait outside the door for a while, and when the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly said: "Guest officer, you are awake, otherwise, I don't know what to do." ”

The grandfather turned over and got out of bed, and while getting dressed, he asked, "Who is that person downstairs, do you know him?" ”

"Yes, of course I do." The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "The master downstairs, we can't afford to mess with our small shop, that's the old housekeeper who says nothing about Jiang Mansion......"
