Chapter 65: The Spirit of the Locust Tree Spirit
Wang Qianmo looked at me with a red face, and his breathing gradually became short.
In fact, during this period of getting along, the relationship between me and Wang Qianmo has been undergoing subtle changes, probably because both of them have each other in their hearts! At the moment when I squatted on the ground to help her wash her feet, she was my only relative in this world, and I am sure she would also feel that I was her only relative in this world.
When I helped her wipe her feet, touching her slender jade feet, I had a strange feeling in my heart, and once again I felt that Wang Qianmo deserved to be a real beauty, from appearance to figure, from hands to feet, all of them were extremely delicate and beautiful.
"Sleep fast! It's almost dawn. I gently covered her with a blanket.
Wang Qianmo blushed and held my hand, I wanted to coax her to sleep and go to the north room to listen to the chat between old Uncle Huang, but who knew that Wang Qianmo didn't mean to let go of his hand.
"What's wrong, Momo?"
"You haven't closed your eyes all night, come up and lie down, right?" Her voice was like a mosquito.
As soon as I heard this, I was overjoyed in my heart, so I naturally first politely patted Wang Qianmo's shoulder, and then quickly took off my shoes and lay down.
This was a single bed, and the two adults were a little crowded lying on it, which made me feel very excited, and Wang Qianmo didn't mind, the two of them were close together, and there was an indescribable sense of happiness in the air.
In fact, I was not tired at all, nor was I sleepy, I knew that this was very evil - Wang Qianmo should be tired and sleepy, and soon leaned on my shoulder and fell asleep. Looking at her delicate facial features and listening to his even breathing, I seemed to have suddenly found the mission of life - that is, to protect Wang Qianmo for the rest of my life.
I also want to close my eyes and sleep for a while, but I always unconsciously think of the strange things I experienced tonight.
I actually met a thousand-year-old locust tree spirit!! I couldn't help but curse secretly, whether it's a ghost or a demon, whether it's a demon or a spirit, I've seen it all.
Suddenly I thought of a strange change in my body - what was going on? How did I become a night vision! In addition to my vision, my hearing and physical strength also changed dramatically during the night.
The first is that his hearing is abnormal, and he seems to be able to hear subtle sounds more than before, and the second is that his strength and endurance are much better than before. Let's just say that I ran for several miles in one breath with Wang Qianmo in my arms! I didn't blush and didn't breathe, under normal circumstances, I would never be able to do it.
This is a very evil thing! I recalled the words of Uncle Huang and Uncle Mingyue, and when they learned that I had bitten a black ant at a time when I had to do it, their expressions seemed to suddenly become very exaggeratedโcould it be that I was very happy to crawl into the giant black ant in my stomach?
Maybe it's because I've been experiencing a lot of strange things lately! I vaguely felt that the reason why my body had these changes was really related to the huge black ant, especially the words that Uncle Huang seemed to understand.
I was figuring around when I heard my name being called outside.
"Little evil - go out with me!"
Listening to the voice, I knew it was Uncle Huang.
Glancing at the sleeping Wang Qianmo again, I opened my hand lightly, and then went out with my shoes. At that time, the east was already white. There are at least hundreds of species of birds in the mountains, and this time should be the world of birds, and there should be chirping everywhere. But when I walked out the door, there was silence all around, and the silence was incredible.
Old Uncle Huang, the old man and the mustache stood in the courtyard.
"Uncle Shi, where are you going to go at this point?"
"Go clean up the scene."
Listening to Uncle Huang's tone, I probably guessed what to do.
Sure enough, after going out of the gate, I went straight to the big locust tree.
Halfway through, I looked at the time, it was already half past five in the morning, and it stands to reason that at this point, most of the mountain people got up, but we didn't even meet anyone along the way. I was also shocked that I could see the house five or six miles away, and even the chimney on the house.
It is puzzling that the chimneys of all the houses do not smoke. What's going on? Could it be that there are only houses and no one in the whole area? Or did everyone leave before it got dark last night?
Before I could ask Uncle Huang what was going on, the locust tree that had been burned to the ground appeared in front of me, but the locust tree that was originally more than ten meters high was gone, replaced by a charred pillar.
It was surrounded by black ash residues.
"Old Uncle Huang, this ...... This dryad should be dead, what are we doing? โ
Old Uncle Huang smiled, pointed to the root of the locust tree and said, "Isn't it strange that the thousand-year-old tree spirit is dead but not stiff?" There was such a big fire last night, and no one in the village came out? โ
I nodded, "Actually, I was just about to ask you!" At this point, most of the villagers should also get up! โ
Uncle Shi smiled bitterly: "That's why we came here, everyone in the vicinity of more than ten miles is still in bed now!" โ
"In bed? Could it be that they ...... "I wanted to ask if they were all killed by this locust tree spirit, or were poisoned like Wang Qianmo, and they are still in a coma."
Before I finished my words, I was interrupted by Lao Huang: "Hasn't Xiao Xie heard of the 'ghost press'?" โ
I nodded, and I was immediately shocked, could it be that they had been pressed by ghosts all night?
Lao Huang asked the old man and the mustache to find the red line that he and Mingyue Shibo entangled with the locust tree last night, and it stands to reason that the big locust tree continued to burn for several hours last night, and even the wire rope was burned and melted, but the two of them pulled out the red line from the ashes, and it was still intact.
Lao Huang bent over to the side, took out a small paper bag from his bag, and then took out the peach wood sword from his back, and sprinkled the medicinal powder in the paper bag on the peach wood sword.
I'm a little confused by the second monk, this peach wood sword can be used to ward off evil spirits, but now there is no evil! What is Lao Huang trying to figure out?
"I didn't call you here to see the excitement! Come! Spit on the peachwood sword? โ
Spit? I walked over with a blank face, glanced at Old Uncle Huang, and then spat vigorously twice.
When my spit touched the wooden sword, there was a burst of "smack", and suddenly there was a very unpleasant smell in the air.
I suspected that Lao Huang was deliberately joking with me, so I spit on the wooden sword one by one, and only after I vomited a little disgusting, Uncle Huang shouted to stop.
I'm even more confused now, what are you trying to do?
By this time, the old man and the mustache had already pulled out the red thread. Lao Huang picked up the peachwood sword, took out a paper talisman from his bag with his other hand, and said something in his mouth.
As he muttered, he slowly walked over to the blackwood pillar, then raised his arms sharply, and thrust into the blackwood pillar.
With a strange whining sound, the peachwood sword was wiped all the way to the hilt.
What creeps me out is that this strange sound is coming from the black wooden pillar. Sure enough! The great locust tree spirit is not completely dead.
Old Uncle Huang's half-meter-long wooden sword was almost completely pierced into the black stake, and the black stake then made a strange whining sound, and before I could calm down, I saw a stream of black and red blood spraying out as the wooden sword was pulled out.
At this moment, even Old Uncle Huang himself was startled, and it is estimated that he did not expect blood to spurt from the trunk.
The mustache and the old man's face changed, but they still forcibly strengthened their courage, slowly approached the black stake, and untied a gourd from their waists, and the two of them sprinkled some liquid on the black stake from the gourd, and almost at the same time, the old Uncle Huang took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, and twisted his two fingers very chicly, and the yellow paper ignited, emitting blue flames.
The yellow paper was thrown onto the black stake, and suddenly the whole stake burned blueโand I smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and it turned out that the gourd in the hands of the two of them was liquor.
The blue fire burned for about ten minutes, and a "crackling" sound began to come from the wooden stake.
"Hurry back!" Old Uncle Huang shouted, and the person had already retreated three or four meters.
I don't know why, but I know that Old Uncle Huang will never make a fuss, so he hurriedly followed back a few meters.
The sound of the black stake grew more and more intense, and somehow I was nervous when I heard it, as if I knew something terrible was about to happen.
Lao Huang and the three of them didn't speak, just stared at the stake.
Could it be that there is something in the stake? As soon as I had the idea, I heard a loud "pop", and the stake suddenly cracked in the middle.
it! When I saw the contents of the stake, my entire scalp exploded in an instant, and the stake was empty, revealing more than a dozen skinny babies inside.
The little babies seemed to have just been born, curled up against each other, and wailed like puppies.
Why is there a newborn baby in there? It's impossible! If you look closely, where are the babies, they are covered with short white hair, and their whole facial features are very distorted and ugly, not so much human facial features, but actually more like a monkey.
Although there are wild monkeys in our area, there should not be newborn monkeys in the trunk of the locust tree that has been burned twice! Even if there were, it would have been burned to death a long time ago.
"Cut the grass and eradicate the roots! Don't be fooled by their appearance! Lao Huang's hoarse voice instantly made me tremble and come back to my senses.
What happened to me just now? After looking at the monkey peeking out of the trunk, he was stunned, and a sense of pity gradually came out. The old man and the mustache were also obviously stunned, as if they were waking up from a dream, and the two of them hurriedly spilled the wine in the gourd on a nest of little monkeys.
As soon as the wine was spilled, the little monkey who was drowsy, looking at the wilting chirping, suddenly hissed, the voice was high-pitched and powerful, I was startled by the sound at first, and then I saw the little monkeys open their mouths, revealing a mouth full of jagged fine teeth. At the same time, some of the little monkeys turned their heads to look at us, their eyes were blood-red......
Old Uncle Huang lit the yellow paper in his hand again, and with a miserable wail, the little monkeys were on fire all over their bodies. The blue flames grew brighter and brighter, and the monkeys began to try to jump out of the gaps in the trunks.
Old Uncle Huang kept muttering something in his mouth, and at the same time stood by with a wooden sword that had turned black and red, and as soon as a monkey poked its head out, he swung his sword and stabbed it. Compared to suffering in the blue fire, the little monkeys seemed to be more afraid of the wooden sword in the hands of Old Uncle Huang, and it took another five or six minutes for the monkey's miserable screams to gradually stop.
"Uncle Shi, what the hell is this?"
"This is the soul that the locust tree spirit has cultivated in the past ten years!" Saying that, he turned to look at the old man: "Fortunately, you chose to make a move last night, otherwise in another ten days and half a month, a few of us will not be its opponents!" โ
I ignored what Uncle Shi said to the old man, and continued with Uncle Huang: "He...... Why did he spend more than ten years cultivating a few ...... What about a few newborn ugly monkeys? โ
Uncle Shi sneered: "Monkey? Where are you looking for the monkey? โ
"Not over there!" As I spoke, I pointed to the monkey that had been burned to death in the gap in the trunk of the tree.
With this finger, his gaze swept away, only to find that none of the dead monkeys were gone.
Well? What about dead monkeys? I looked at it just now, and it was only a blink of an eye, and it suddenly disappeared? Impossible! It's not a trick or trick.
"Weird, right? Because the monkeys you are talking about do not exist in the first place, they are the soul of this great locust tree spirit has changed, and they are invisible, ever-changing. โ
"This soul can be burned with wine?"
As soon as I said this, the three of them burst out laughing at the same time.
The mustache spoke to me for the first time: "Little brother, you are a rescuer sent by the monkeys, right?" We're not wine! I don't believe you. As he spoke, he brought the gourd over.
I did smell it, and it smelled of alcohol, but it was mixed with a strong herbal smell.
"Alright! At this time, the locust tree has been completely wiped out, and it is not in vain that you have spent your efforts in the past two years. โ
On the way back for the three of them, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and the mustache even told a meat joke.
Halfway down the road, there were several croppers with hoes walking on the opposite side. A few people were chattering as they walked.
One said, "Last night I was evil, and I woke up, but my body couldn't move until dawn!" โ
The other also sighed, "Me too!" I played with my wife last night, and I wanted to sleep and get dressed again, but I knew very well in my heart, and my body didn't obey the call, and I was so anxious that I was sweating - I was afraid that someone would come in outside. โ
Seeing these people and hearing their conversations, I understood even more what was going on, and it seemed that the so-called spell had been broken.
A few people walked up to us, probably looking at us as four unfamiliar faces, and they all gathered around.
"What are you doing?"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! A few of us were Taoist priests from nearby mountains, and we were invited to do things! โ
"Daoist? - What does it smell like? โ
One of them couldn't help but wrinkle his nose after smelling the burning smell on the three of them.
Lao Huang smiled slightly: "The big locust tree behind your village has burned, and we just came back from there!" โ
"Oh my God? The one you are talking about...... The big locust tree? As he spoke, he pointed to the location of the locust tree.
Old Uncle Huang nodded.
"This ...... Is this still worth it? We have to tell Wu Ye to go quickly!"
As soon as they heard that the big locust tree was dead, several people seemed to become very frightened, and they stopped picking up the hoe that had fallen to the ground, and turned around and ran to the other side.
After a few people walked away, Lao Huang whispered: "Let's quickly call your uncle and them, and leave here quickly!" Let a sleeping dog lie. โ
"Why? We're going to eliminate harm for the people! I asked, puzzled.
Lao Huang smiled slightly: "You know that it is a harmful locust tree spirit, and I know it, but the people here don't know it, and they should still worship it as a sacred tree." โ
