After the Gu Xiaoxi incident, Donghu University seemed to be shrouded in an invisible haze, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

After lunch, Liu Yuenan left the campus, and he returned to Laihu Village again, where there was a vigorous and upright old tree, and from a distance, there was an old bark cracked, like pieces of dragon scales, which was very strange.

Among them, what surprised Liu Yuenan was that although the vicissitudes of this old tree, the breath of life was very strong, and the green leaves of the young buds in the crown were lush, as if early spring had just arrived, but now the season has entered the early autumn, not to mention the yellow leaves flying all over the sky, there should be old leaves withered and yellow.

But the actual situation that Liu Yuenan saw seemed to be the opposite, which was a little strange.

There is probably no second person in the entire Lianghu City who knows better than him, what does such an old tree mean?

According to the two immortal cultivators, the loss of spiritual energy will cause the hard rocks to become fragile, and the plants with rich breath of life will also become wilted, so can it be estimated that once the spiritual energy loss underground is serious, or even depleted, the earth will not be able to support the high-rise buildings that human beings rely on for survival?

Although this is just a conjecture, Liu Yuenan also has to be cautious, after all, the rumors of the Gu Xiaoxi incident are still lingering in his ears, and Liu Yuenan can't help but seriously think about and recall the warnings of the two immortal cultivators.

Therefore, Liu Yuenan's purpose of returning to Laihu Village again was to find a safe house for himself before the Great Mutation came.

Obviously, the large courtyard in front of you is a good choice.

The old trees can still glow with new shoots in autumn, which shows that the aura here is still very strong, but I don't know who the owner of this big yard will be?

Liu Yuenan pondered silently for a moment, and then walked all the way along the courtyard wall, he was thinking about how to persuade the owner of this large courtyard to rent him a side room, even if it was the kind of dilapidated room with dew and rain, he also admitted it.

However, to Liu Yuenan's great surprise, when he followed the courtyard wall all the way to the gate, he found that the two gates were closed, rusty, and a large area of red paint had peeled off, which showed that it had been abandoned for a long time.

After being surprised, Liu Yuenan approached the gate and looked through the crack in the door, and sure enough, it was desolate and overgrown, and even thieves and beggars would not take a second look here.

Liu Yuenan was a little strange, how could such a place rich in aura become a deserted house?

After thinking about it, Liu Yuenan found that there was a slightly old shop around the corner a hundred meters away, the door was half-closed at this time, there were no customers, it was a good time to inquire about the news, Liu Yuenan smiled faintly, and walked up.

In the distance, Liu Yuenan heard the sound of the TV, playing a certain old movie, as if it was called Liu Sanjie, Liu Yuenan guessed that the owner of this shop was probably an old man, after all, young people nowadays are no longer good at this.

Pushing open the half-hidden door of the store, Liu Yuenan really saw a silver-haired grandmother, wearing a pair of reading glasses, and she was looking at it with relish at this time.

Hearing a noise at the door of the store, the silver-haired grandmother turned her head alertly and asked with a smile, "What do you want to order?" ”

Liu Yuenan quickly glanced at the shop, and found that there were not many things, and there were few types, which were pitiful, and they were mostly suitable for the taste of elementary school students, so he frowned.

The silver-haired grandmother got up with difficulty and explained to Liu Yuenan: "I don't have anything to do after retirement, so I opened this small shop to relieve my boredom, there are not many things, you can take what you like, I don't want to make money, I just want to have fun." ”

Liu Yuenan nodded, stepped forward and took a bottle of drink, another bucket of instant noodles, and asked with a smile, "Grandma, do you have boiling water here?" I want to eat bucket instant noodles. ”

When the silver-haired grandmother heard this, she was a little happy, and said again and again, so she went to get boiling water for Liu Yuenan.

After a while, the silver-haired grandmother returned and brought Liu Yuenan a pot of boiling water, taking advantage of the opportunity to make instant noodles, Liu Yuenan asked quietly: "Grandma, whose house is the big yard next to it?" How I look a little desolate! ”

When the silver-haired grandmother heard this, her smile suddenly disappeared, and she sighed, as if there was something unspeakable.

Liu Yuenan felt strange, so he heard the silver-haired grandmother say in confusion: "This matter has to start from ten years ago......

The story about the owner's house in the big courtyard was very long, and the silver-haired grandmother spoke for more than forty minutes, and Liu Yuenan was very calm and listened carefully from beginning to end.

The owner of the big yard is surnamed Wei, has two sons and a daughter, and I heard the silver-haired grandmother say that these three sisters and brothers have been very obedient since they were children, and they are all highly educated, and they are all promising people, but a very incredible thing happened ten years ago.

For some reason, the two sons slashed each other with knives for no reason, and by the time the ambulance arrived, they were already dead of rage.

This incident hurt the Wei family and his wife very much, and even the daughter who married away from another country rushed back, and after some aftermath, the Wei family couple agreed to their daughter's suggestion and went to other countries to spend their old age in peace.

A big villa at the end of the good end, because of an incredible homicide, it has become a well-known murder house, no one dares to take over again, ten years of wind and rain, its once infinite scenery, has long been forgotten by the world.

The silver-haired grandmother talked about the past of the Wei family ten years ago, and lamented again and again, after all, they were neighbors, and they used to have a good relationship, and when they mentioned the past, they were inevitably sentimental!

In the end, the silver-haired grandmother sighed and said, "The big yard has been abandoned for so long, I'm afraid that even Lao Wei and his wife don't remember that they still have such a home." ”

Liu Yuenan nodded, this possibility is not impossible, he threw the instant noodle bucket into the trash can, and asked tentatively: "Grandma, since you are neighbors and have a good relationship with each other, can you still contact the Wei family and his wife?" ”

The silver-haired old grandmother was a little surprised, Liu Yuenan hurriedly smiled and explained: "I think the scenery of this big courtyard is very good, it's a pity to be deserted like this, if grandma can still contact the old couple of the Wei family, you might as well let them say a price and rent it to me for a while." ”

"What? You want to rent a large courtyard, this is a well-known murderous mansion in Lianghu City! Although the silver-haired grandmother had some conjectures, she was still taken aback when she heard Liu Yuenan say it herself.

Liu Yuenan nodded, secretly chanted 'Amitabha', and said with a calm smile: "Grandma don't be surprised, I actually know some Maoshan secret techniques, and I can suppress those evil things in the big courtyard." ”

In order to convince the silver-haired grandmother, Liu Yuenan also showed a hard hand, and his fingers exerted slightly, and the drink bottle was directly pinched and exploded by him.

The silver-haired grandmother looked incredible, and after half a sound, she shook her head in confusion and said sadly: "Since the old Wei couple moved to other countries, there has been no news between each other, if you really don't like the big yard is desolate, if you want to live in it, live in it!" But...... After all, it's someone else's property, you can't wreak havoc, especially that old tree, Lao Wei and his wife care about it very much. ”

Liu Yuenan was a little surprised, this matter was too smooth, originally I just wanted to inquire about the situation of the big courtyard, but now I can blatantly live in it, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for Liu Yuenan.

After paying for instant noodles and drinks, Liu Yuenan was about to leave, he had other things to do, but before leaving the door, he looked back curiously and asked.

"Grandma, since Lao Wei and his wife care so much about that old tree, I'm curious, what kind of tree is it?"

The silver-haired old woman thought for a while and replied, "I heard that Lao Wei and his wife called it the dragon scale tree, I don't know what kind of tree it is, it is said that when there was no big yard, the old tree already existed." ”

Liu Yuenan nodded, calling it a dragon scale tree is also an image.

Walking out of the silver-haired grandmother's shop, Liu Yuenan swaggered into the Wei family's courtyard, he had to make adequate preparations in advance before the wisp of mist approached the earth, otherwise once the situation changed, if he wanted to deal with it calmly, I am afraid it would be ten million times more difficult.
