The sky was drizzling, and Gao Chen sat in the car playing with a branch that resembled a jade carving, as if he had developed a strong interest in it.

"What a baby! Waiting to absorb the tree source, the cultivation will definitely break through! ”

Gao Chen finished his dark refreshment, waved his hand to take the tree source back into the mustard seed Sumeru, his inadvertent movements made Li Tianyu, who was driving, curious for a long time, and couldn't understand why the object "disappeared"?

"My brother, what kind of trick are you doing? Where did the stuff go? ”

Li Tianyu, who couldn't stand his thirst for knowledge, began to look for the truth with practical actions, waiting for the answer not only for him, but also for Sui Yanxi, who was also staring at Sui Yanxi.

"Little brat, don't ask, drive the car slower! Let's enjoy the idyllic scenery in the rain! ”

Gao Chen unceremoniously refused, and by the way, he ignored the big eyes of Li and Sui, and pondered what the village chief said with a calm expression.

Regarding the matter of the old locust tree, the village chief described it in much detail as the old woman (note: Wang Po), which was caused by someone hanging himself after the old locust tree, but the village chief said it in more detail.

About 30 years ago, when the village chief was still a strong man in his twenties, and there were many more households in Wangjia Village than now, basically catching up with a small town.

One day, the village chief went to the neighboring village man's house to drink, and it was not until midnight that he found that the lightning and thunder outside the house, and the wind and rain were mixed.

When the village chief walked to Wangjia Village, he suddenly saw a disheveled woman, running towards the old locust tree in the rain, and the woman seemed to be holding a long rope in her hand.

The dazed village chief wanted to follow to see what was going on, but his feet slipped and fell into the puddle, and when he got up and rushed to the old locust tree, a lightning bolt suddenly struck the treetops, and then a large number of leaves fell in all directions, and in a blink of an eye, there was only a bare trunk left.

What's even more terrifying is that there is also a body "inlay" on the trunk, half exposed, half integrated into the trunk, and the long rope hanging from its neck proves that the woman hanged herself.

The next day, the village chief woke up and learned from others that the dead woman was the boudoir of the princess

Female - Yang Xiu'er, she was defiled by the ruffians last night, and she couldn't think of committing suicide for a while.

Because the law at that time was not so sound, the sad Geng Wangpo could not punish the murderer, so she cried every night and went to the old locust tree to worship, which made others feel particularly pitiful and helpless.

On the night of Yang Xiu'er's first seven, there was a special murder in the village, the deceased were several unemployed young people in their twenties, half of their bodies were also integrated into the trunk of the tree, and Yang Xiu'er's death was the same, the only difference was that their exposed bodies were all scarred, and they had obviously suffered inhuman abuse before they died, and these people also had one thing in common was that they all participated in the violation of Yang Xiu'er.

Since then, bizarre deaths have continued to occur under the old locust tree, everyone has invited a lot of exorcists in order to survive, the result is either to be cheated of money, or the mage returns the money and leaves, no one can really take care of this matter, and finally the villagers who have no choice, those who have the ability to move away will move to other places to settle down, and those who can't move away can only wait for death.

At that time, all the villagers were worried, they were afraid that they would not wake up at any time, and they would never see the sun the next day.

After Master Jueyuan found out the source of the disaster in Wangjia Village, which was caused by the transformation of the hundred-year-old locust tree into a monster, he immediately dispersed the residents of the village, and fought with the tree demon alone for hundreds of rounds, subduing the other party and taking away the source of the natal tree.

The follow-up matters are basically the same as Gao Chen's guess, Gao Chen thought of this, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart, it stands to reason that since Master Jueyuan can defeat the Tree Demon, it means that his ability is above the Tree Demon, and he should be able to refine the demonic nature of the tree source, why is it that he is infiltrated and eroded by the demonic nature? Could it be that one of them is a master who is involved in this matter?

The more Gao Chen thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was relatively large, but he really couldn't guess who would have such a great ability to dare to secretly support the tree demon in the holy land of Buddhism.

"Brother Chen? Brother Chen? ”

Li Tianyu, who had been beaten by Gao Chen, became smarter, and he called out in a gentle tone, trying not to disturb Gao Chen, who was thinking hard.

"What's going on?"

"My dad said that the hotel is done, let you take the time to check it, if there is something unsatisfactory, he will arrange someone to redecorate!"

"There's no need, Uncle Li is much more reliable than you kid, let's go back to Xiao'erju in a while!"

The good news brought by Uncle Li made Gao Chen a lot happier, he no longer thought about the mastermind behind the scenes, and transferred all his thoughts to his new home.

The rain gradually stopped, Gao Chen and his party ended the journey of "experiencing" the rural style, returned to the bustling Chongqing urban area smoothly, and then went straight to the children's house.

Chongqing belongs to the municipality directly under the central government, it contains more than a dozen large regions, the address of the hotel selected by Uncle Li is located in the Shapingba District of the university concentration, which shows that Uncle Li's business acumen is indeed very smart, if you open a hotel in this area, there are college students with high spending power to support, no matter what, you will not lose money.

"Uncle Li, I've bothered you a lot, let's take a look at the store first!"

After the three of them came to the children's house, Uncle Li was already standing at the door with a smile on his face to greet them.

Gao Chen couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and took the lead in asking to see the house.

The house is divided into two floors and eight rooms, the first floor has five ordinary rooms, opposite the U-shaped front desk is a small living room, placed with a coffee table and sofa, which can provide guests with a temporary rest; On the second floor, there are two high-end and one luxurious rooms, specially reserved for the wealthy, and the corresponding facilities in each room are installed and are almost open.

Gao Chen was very happy, and invited a few people to have a good meal in the evening, which could be regarded as expressing his gratitude to Father Li, he didn't ask how much it cost to live in the child's house, it seemed too superficial, even if he spent more, it would be a big deal to take care of Li Tianyu in the future!

The dinner party was spent in great joy, except for Sui Yanxi, who was worried, Gao Chen didn't ask the reason, if she really had something, she would take the initiative to come to the door!

In the following days, Gao Chen was very busy, he dragged Li Tianyu as the driver, and ran around the dark and magic weapon shops all day long, trying to decorate his "new home" more perfectly.

On the eve of the New Year of the Gregorian calendar of the Dragon Kingdom, Gao Chen finally completed the renovation of the children's house as scheduled, he slightly changed the luxury room on the second floor, and turned it into a dark room that is not open to the public, waiting for the boarding of lonely souls and wild ghosts, and the most conspicuous and tidy place on the first floor is dedicated to the statue of Jizo Bodhisattva, and the incense and candles are placed under the shrine, so that they can be used at any time.

Zero o'clock is coming, Gao Chen lit the incense in his hand, hung it in front of the shrine with a solemn expression, and then lifted a special LED light box and walked outside the child's house.

There was no ribbon-cutting ceremony, no blessings from relatives and friends, no flower baskets for the celebration, and the children's house opened in silence......
