Chapter 22: The Old Dead Tree in the Village

"Hehe, it's always a lot of good to go out and walk around more! There are opportunities for long-term knowledge, but also some unusual things. ”

Gao Chen thought so in his heart after he found that the declining "god" had disappeared.

Li Tianyu was already drunk, and so were the classmates at the table with him, regardless of men and women, all of them were sleeping there with their heads drooping.

Seeing this scene, Gao Chen could only ask the owner's family who had not yet rested about the location of the guest room, and then sent them back to the room one by one, and when everything was settled, he walked to the end of the village alone.

"Shenshen'er, there is a big joy in the village today, don't make trouble, don't hurt people, on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, the old woman will worship you on time, Shenshen'er, don't make trouble..."

When Gao Chen came to the end of the village, someone had already arrived first, and they were burning incense and paper in front of the huge dead tree.

"Click!"

The old man who was chattering heard the sound of flint rubbing, and immediately looked towards the source of the sound, and when he saw clearly that it was a young man who made the noise, he immediately said sharply: "Where did you come from, ignorant child, this is not the place where you should come, leave quickly, if you annoy the gods, you will lose your life!" ”

"Hello auntie, I guess you're a goddess! Can you tell me about the origin of this tree? ”

Gao Chen ignored the old woman's dissuasion, and still asked on his own.

Because when Gao Chen was wandering around during the day, he found that the dead tree was actually "dead", simply put, the tree was not dead, but an unknown spirit forcibly plundered the essence of the tree and used it, so the tree showed a dead wood state.

As for this unknown spirit body, Gao Chen preliminarily judged that it was a Yin Soul who knew how to cultivate, because a trace of black evil qi was looming at the root of the dead tree.

"You turtle, you know how to beg, hurry up and cut back!"

The anxious old woman drove Gao Chen away in dialect, and when she saw that Gao Chen didn't understand what he meant, she said it again in Mandarin.

At this point, Gao Chen no longer insisted, he pretended to accompany the old woman, turned around and went back to the village to find a quiet place to meditate and rest, and planned to wait until dawn to ask other old people in the village about the old woman and the dead tree.

"Help! Come on! Someone's having a convulsion! ”

But the plan did not change quickly, in the early morning, a shout suddenly came from Li Tianyu's fellow scholars, and Gao Chen, who heard the voice, ran to the scene as soon as possible, he had a bad premonition, and it was no accident at this time.

Gao Chen, who rushed to the place of the incident, saw that the person who was sick was Li Tianyu's newlywed classmate Wang Zhe, and it was his wife Li Dan who made a cry for help.

At this moment, Wang Zhe was convulsed all over his body, foaming at the mouth, completely like an epileptic seizure, Gao Chen was afraid that he would bite his tongue and commit suicide, so he immediately implemented rescue measures and worked hard for a long time to stabilize it.

After lighting a cigarette, Gao Chen saw a large number of people standing in the house, including the old woman from last night.

"Who are the dependents? Hurry up and arrange for someone to send her to a regular hospital for a check-up, the head of the house and the two of you stay, and the others should do whatever they want, don't all get together here! ”

Gao Chen pointed at Li Dan and the old woman, and ordered the onlookers in a serious tone.

The people in the house left one after another, leaving only the three who were named by Gao Chen who did not leave, but their expressions were different.

Gao Chen was not polite, and began to ask the three of them in a big way, and for some reason, they were inexplicably afraid of the man in sunglasses in front of them, and they might be shocked by the means he had just used to save people!

"You are Wang Zhe's father, right? I don't know if Wang Zhe has had epilepsy before or anyone in your family? ”

"No, absolutely not! Our family has no hidden diseases for generations, and I don't know what evil this baby has committed, and he actually lost his heart and went crazy! ”

"Thank you!"

Gao Chen politely replied to a middle-aged man in his forties, then turned his head and continued to ask Li Dan: "Did he have similar behavior when he was with you?" ”

"No, it's always been normal, if I knew he had epilepsy, how could I still marry him!"

Li Dan's tone was very unfriendly, as if he was blaming Wang Zhe for not telling her the truth.

"Did he behave in any way last night?"

Gao Chen didn't answer and continued to ask.

"Well, I slept very late yesterday, and then Wang Zhe got up at night once, and when I came back, my whole body seemed to be trembling, I was so sleepy, I didn't have much energy to care about it at all!"

Gao Chen noticed that after Li Dan said this, the old woman trembled, he didn't ask any more questions, but said quietly: "Let's talk about it when Wang Zhe wakes up!" Auntie, I want to talk to you alone, I don't know what you think? ”

"It's inconvenient here, let's go, go to my house and say!"

After the old woman finished speaking, she left alone, and Gao Chen followed without hesitation, leaving only Li Dan and Wang Zhe's father staring at each other with big eyes, looking at each other unpleasantly.

After a short time, Gao Chen came to the old woman's house, which was a dilapidated old house at the end of the village, not very far from the dead trees.

"Auntie, you don't have to hide it! Someone is going to die! ”

Gao Chen, who walked into the old house, immediately asked the old woman in a threatening tone.

"Later life, you can find the difference between the old locust tree, it's not simple, it's not simple, but I advise you not to meddle in this matter, the ability of the gods and gods is not comparable to us mortals!"

The old woman's words made Gao Chen both guilty and curious, guilty that he didn't recognize this dead tree as a locust tree at all, curious about what kind of divine god this god is, he didn't dare to interrupt the old woman's speech, and quietly waited for the following.

"The old locust tree has been around for as long as I can remember, and it hasn't withered at that time, and every night the people in the village like to talk about family life and play chess under the tree, and everything has changed since someone hanged himself here!"

The old woman poured a glass of water for Gao Chen and said quietly.

"It withered overnight, and the hanged man was actually sucked into the trunk of the locust tree, only half of his body was exposed, the scene was quite weird, since then, the village people will often hear the old locust tree at night from the mournful cry, for a time to make people panic!"

When the old woman said this, she paused slightly, Gao Chen saw her eyes showing a look of fear, and then the whole person began to shake incessantly, and then suddenly fell to the ground and shouted loudly: "I was wrong, God, I shouldn't have told you about it, please spare me!" I'm not going to talk nonsense anymore! ”

Gao Chen was surprised, he didn't feel the existence of any yin qi, why did this old woman go crazy for some reason? Could it be that this Yin Spirit's ability is strong enough to directly control the old woman beyond him? That requires an extremely advanced level of cultivation.

"Get out of here, you're not welcome here!"

Before Gao Chen, who had time to cast a meditation spell on the old woman, he was pushed and scolded by the other party, and the door was locked tightly.

Gao Chen, who was confused, didn't figure out the reason, so he had to stop alone and stand in front of the old woman's house and carefully look at the old dead tree.

At this time, Gao Chen realized that the old dead tree was so huge...
