Chapter 71: Millennial Dryad

The lonely mountain is different, the lonely tree must be a demon, these two sentences are also said to me by the crazy old man, I have not been able to figure it out, but when I saw it today, I immediately understood what was going on.

There is no peak in front of the mountain, no ridge in front of the mountain, no vein to follow, no backing mountain to rely on, it looks like there is no momentum, and there will never be a mountain god stationed. But it is a mountain after all, and it is a mountain with aura, like this kind of lonely mountain, and there is no mountain god stationed, although the aura is not very strong, but it is also a place that some fierce beasts and spirits who do not like to restrain it.

The tree is lonely, all the nutrients are absorbed by it, grow unscrupulously, it is easy to form, once the roots are deep-rooted, the rhizome is more extensive, the nutrients are sufficient, the bigger it grows, and finally the big tree occupies the living space of the small tree, and the whole territory is taken as its own, and it is difficult to think of not becoming a demon.

What's more, the red clay and black stones on this mountain, the bare ground and the tendons are exposed, it is very dazzling, and the lonely mountain is uncovered, and the cold air is directly attacked, it must be a dangerous place, I am afraid that there is not only a thousand-year-old tree demon here, but also a lot of other fierce beasts and foreign objects.

It's just that I can't understand how there can be such a lonely hill here. You must know that the mountain is caused by geological movements, generally there will be no mountain, there will not be a mountain, how there will be some other hills nearby, this hill is lonely and towering, very abrupt.

As soon as I thought of this, an old man walked over to me, looked at me, and said, "Son, are you from out of town?" Do you want to explore the mountains? I advise you not to go, that place is not clean, and I don't know who spread the word, they all say that the place is haunted, and it attracts groups of young people! Noisy expeditions, and the result? None of them came back. ”

My heart moved when I heard this, and I hurriedly said, "Uncle, you are really right, I just want to go on an adventure on that mountain!" Do you give an introduction? ”

The old man was also enthusiastic, and pointed to the mountain and said, "This mountain is not a mountain, it is a tomb, and the soil there is not red originally, but the same loess as we have here." ”

"In our town in the early Ming Dynasty, there was a first-class man, after returning to his hometown, the fallen leaves returned to his roots, and he came back, and soon he was seriously ill and died, and the emperor ordered a thick burial, and his descendants buried the big official where, the mound was piled up several meters high, and a tree was planted on the top of the tomb."

"I don't know what's going on, since where the big official was buried, the mound began to rise gradually, and every month you can see that it has grown taller, and in more than ten years, a hill has been formed. And that tree has grown even more wildly, and in more than ten years, it has grown unattainable, and its branches and foliage are even more lush to the extent that it obscures the sky. ”

"The townspeople said that the big official looked for someone to see Feng Shui, and the land he was looking for was called Sesame Land, what is it called Sesame Land? Isn't sesame blooming a growing size! It's a good meaning, this is a feng shui treasure land, and this mountain will grow in the future! ”

"It's also strange to say, since the big official was buried, his children and grandchildren have all entered Beijing to be officials, one by one the spring breeze is proud, smooth sailing, and it is all said that the ancestors blessed, in order to avoid someone coveting the burial goods in the tomb, digging the grave and robbing the tomb destroyed the feng shui, and specially invited someone to guard the tomb."

I looked at the mountain, and then looked at the surrounding environment, according to Feng Shui, here is to have no dragon, no water, no water, no gas, the wind does not stop, there is sand, but it is all blood sand, blood overflow sand, it is inevitable that the blood is light, it is clearly a fierce hole, in feng shui called the point of blood corpse, the main cut off the descendants, the end of the poison is incomparable.

The owner of this family was buried here, if he was not deliberately framed, he deliberately wanted to bring the whole family to the funeral.

The old man continued: "Not long after, suddenly it rained heavily, and a lightning bolt came down, which hit the tree, and with a bang, the tree broke off at the root, and from the body of the tree broke off a blood spring more than two meters high, spraying for three days and three nights, dyeing the whole mountain blood-red, and the smell of blood spread dozens of miles away. ”

I frowned when I heard this, no! If the original sand here is not blood-red, then it is not a bloody corpse cave, but an ordinary normal tomb, how can there be so many abnormal phenomena?

Then I patted my head and figured it out, daring to love that this tomb was originally an ordinary tomb, a little bigger, but it happened that a tree was planted on the top of the tomb, and the mound was high, and the tree was one, full of nutrition, and it grew naturally fast.

As soon as the tree is big, it becomes a demon, and it occupies an excellent position on the top of the tomb, there are no big trees around to compete for nutrients, and it grows faster naturally, causing the dryad to grow bigger and bigger, and the hill uplift that people see is actually just the roots of the dryad supporting the soil.

In other words, the entire hill is actually attached to the roots of the tree, and the roots are constantly thickening and bulging, as if the hill is rising.

And the ancestral tomb does not add soil to the uplift, it is indeed a good sign, how the dryad is growing, after all, it is someone's grave, and it is normal for his descendants to be developed.

However, because the dryad grew too big and too fast, it caused a thunderstorm, judging from the situation described by the old man, the dryad was only afraid of being cleaned up at once, and sprayed blood for three days and three nights, and the blood water stained the loess into blood sand, and then it became a cave of bloody corpses. In this way, the relationship will be smooth.

But with such a change, I am afraid that the descendants of the big official will be unlucky, and it is very likely that none of them will be able to escape.

Sure enough, the old man continued: "This is a great thing, the villagers who guard the tomb quickly chose a person who can speak well to report to Beijing, who knows that after more than ten days, the villager came back from the capital, saying that the descendants of the big official because of what partisan disputes were involved, the whole family was beheaded, and there was no one left alive." ”

"What's even more strange is that since that lightning strike, not only have the roots of the big tree been broken, but the mound has also stopped growing upward, and everyone said that the thunder damaged the feng shui there and cut off their family's qi, so their descendants will be implicated."

When I heard this, I finally understood why there was a lonely mountain bag here.

The old man continued: "Without the sacrifice of descendants, this hill gradually became deserted, but the big tree on the top of the hill did not die, and it pulled out new shoots from the roots, but the growth rate was much slower, and many weeds began to grow on the hill, and no one cared at that time. ”

"It wasn't until the last two years that the tree suddenly grew like crazy again, and in just a year, it grew again into what you saw, although it was not as tall as before, it was denser than before, and the shade of the tree stretched farther and covered the entire hill."

"If only the trees grew wildly, the weeds and trees on the mountain gradually died, and the whole hill was bare."

"At that time, I felt that something was wrong, and I once reported to the organization, saying that if this tree grows again, I am afraid that it will become a demon, and it should be cut down as soon as possible, but no one believes it! The leaders concerned criticized it, saying that it was a thousand-year-old tree, and now the ancient tree is in spring, which is a good omen, and we should vigorously protect it. ”

"So, I sent people to protect it, put up barbed wire around the hill, specially assigned two strong laborers to guard it, and specially invited relevant experts from the forestry department to investigate, and even hung salt water on the tree."

At this, the old man's face suddenly showed a look of fear, his Adam's apple swallowed, and he shook his head again before continuing: "Poor! The next day, the two able-bodied laborers were found hanging from the tree, and two branches had been inserted from their mouths and hung from the treetops like fruit. ”

"By the time the person was put down, he couldn't look at it anymore, and the two of them were shriveled and turned into dry corpses, which were hard and erected, and they made a hollow sound when they knocked it, and all four of their eyes were gone, leaving only four blood holes."

"Later, I heard that the body was transported for autopsy, and there was not a drop of water in the body, it was all sucked dry, and the heart was sucked out of the throat."

At this point, he looked at me and said, "Son, how can you say that this tree can still suck people's blood and eat people's hearts?" Isn't this a demon or what? But the organization is not allowed to move, but it suffers the people nearby. ”

My heart fluttered, "What? How can the town be two miles away from there? Can the branches reach out to the town? ”

The old man sighed and said: "That's not true, it's just that since then, the town has begun to throw things, at first it was some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and the number is huge, the loss is more than a dozen every day, for a period of time, the poultry and livestock raised by the people in the town have been stolen." ”

Then, they began to lose people, and every once in a while, people disappeared, and they were all young and middle-aged, and they didn't see anyone alive or dead, not only in the town, but also in the nearby villages of ten miles and eight townships. It's useless to call the police, you can't find a shadow at all, it's like you have disappeared from this world for no reason. ”

"Until one day, an old man got up early to pick up dung, and saw the big tree full of black shadows from a distance, so he looked closer, and when he saw it clearly, the old man almost fainted in fright, and the big tree was full of people, one by one, there were as many as thirty or forty."

"The old man was so frightened that he ran back, bumped and stumbled and went to the police, but 110 drove to see it, the tree was still the same tree, and all the people hanging on the tree were gone, so the police said that the old man reported to the police, reprimanded him and drove away."

"The police don't care, but the people are afraid! It didn't take long for all the people in this town to move away, and all that was left behind were old men and old ladies like me, not that we weren't afraid of death, but that we, the old men and old ladies, the tree demons couldn't look down on, and none of the dozens of people lost were old men and old women. Moreover, our loess is buried to our necks, and we are not willing to leave this place where we have lived all our lives. ”

"I don't know how, this news spread far and wide, and soon a lot of young people came, and they went up the mountain one after another to explore, but none of them came back, child, you must listen to me, hurry up, let alone go up the mountain, you can't stay in this town."

My heart was on fire when I listened, and my eyes stared at the big tree swaying in the wind, and I secretly decided that even if it wasn't for Miss Lan, I had to get rid of this tree demon.
