Chapter 20: The Demon Tree

In the town of Two Rivers, there are some places where some weird and terrifying legends are circulating. Among them, in our children's circle, the most famous and most frightening place is the fatal Huang Ge tree.

Why is it called the deadly yellow kudzu tree? This starts with the history of Two Rivers Town.

The town of Two Rivers is named because there are two large rivers that surround the town. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it was also a relatively prosperous wharf town in Sichuan. So it used to be prosperous, and the economy was relatively developed. This also led to the fact that during the Republic of China, there were more opium smokers in the town.

Opium is not a good thing in the first place, and if you smoke too much, you will naturally become addicted, and many people will sell their children and daughters, and many people will go bankrupt. These people are really desperate and hopeless, and most of them can only choose suicide.

This is also strange, and I don't know when it began, a big yellow kudzu tree in the easternmost part of the town of Lianghe Town actually became the place where these desperate people who smoked opium and smoked their homes hanged themselves. According to the legend of the townspeople, if there are too many people, sometimes twenty or thirty people will be hanged from that yellow kudzu tree in a year! It's kind of scary!

Over time, this yellow kudzu tree was called the deadly yellow kudzu by the residents of Lianghe Town. Of course, these are all legends of the people in the town, whether they are true or false because they are relatively old, so there is no way to verify. But for us little children, it was a scary place.

Sometimes I go to play near the kudzu tree with a few brave children in broad daylight, and it feels cold and cloudy. Even if the sun is shining in the middle of the day, it will feel as if the temperature is cooler than the surroundings. But then I got older, and I learned some spells from my master, and I went to explore it with a little skill, but I didn't find any problems.

But now when it comes to Jiang Xuan's matter, such a place as the fatal Huang Ge suddenly flashed in my mind inexplicably.

As soon as I told my master about this, the others were immediately moved. Obviously, they had also heard the legend of this deadly Huang Ge, but they didn't remember it for a while.

Especially the white-bearded chunky ghost almost slapped his thigh: "That's right! Killing Huang Ge, it was a demon tree that was very nourished by yin energy. I've always felt that if I let it go, there will definitely be a big problem, but I don't know why, those people in the underworld don't seem to want to take care of this matter, and over time I don't pay much attention to it. ”

The master touched my skull: "You're still clever, we old guys didn't expect for a while that there was such a demonic thing as Huang Ge, go over there and have a look!" ”

So the five of us hurried to the place where Huang Ge was killed in the early morning mist. I had a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart that there might be a frightening sight there.

Walking through the white mist, with the attributes of the road and terrain that I had grown up in the town, I quickly led them to the area of the deadly yellow kudzu tree. At a distance, I could vaguely see that on the branches of the deadly yellow kudzu tree in front of me, there seemed to be something hanging from it, gently swaying in the wind in the mist, and there were quite a few of them......

When we walked up close to the deadly yellow kudzu tree, we suddenly gasped and were taken aback!

I saw that some of the thicker branches of this deadly yellow kudzu tree were densely packed, and they were all dead people's corpses!! At first glance, there were at least twenty or so corpses hanging from the branches of the deadly yellow kudzu tree, swaying in the wind in the early morning mist, looking very terrifying. Even the masters, who are well-informed, are a little distracted when they see these large numbers of corpses hanging on top of the deadly yellow kudzu tree swaying in the wind.

Obviously, these corpses are the games that Jiang Xuan said he was going to play with his master last night!!

He actually killed more than 20 townspeople in one night, and hanged them alive.

The white-bearded ghost sighed: "Alas, why can't I feel the breath of a person who died in vain, it turned out that he was hanged on this demon tree." This deadly Huang Ge tree has lived for hundreds of years, and I don't know how many people have hanged on it, this has simply become a small hidden place. ”

The master and the person who passed through the yin frowned, looking at the villagers hanging on the trunk one by one, obviously the emotions in their hearts were very uneasy. The old monk and I looked at the white-bearded ghost and didn't understand the meaning of what he said.

He explained: "Because this deadly Huang Ge tree has absorbed too much dead qi and yin qi, it is no longer an ordinary plant, and it has entered the scope of the demon tree, I guess it is because of this reason that it may not be under the head of the tube, so the people of Yin Si don't mention it much." But because this deadly Huang Ge has become a demon tree, if someone hangs on it again, their souls will be directly absorbed by this deadly Huang Ge, and there is no way to enter the underworld, so I have no way to know. ”

I didn't seem to understand, but the old monk frowned: "In other words, if it is a person who dies on this deadly yellow kudzu tree, it is not under your control at all, and it is directly sucked away by this demon tree?" ”

The ghost cha nodded: "This is Jiang Xuan's so-called game." He used some evil techniques to make the villagers who were still asleep unconsciously come to the deadly Huang Ge tree in a sleepwalking state, and then he used other methods to hang these unconscious villagers from the trunk of the tree, so that they could die in their sleep......

"Jiang Xuan! You have gone too far, I must kill you and eliminate the harm for the people! ”

The master clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, obviously completely enraged by Jiang Xuan's indiscriminate killing of innocents. The old monk also showed an angry face, the Buddhists were originally compassionate, and now they saw that Jiang Xuan casually used evil magic to kill so many ordinary people, and it was the kind of death that his soul was scattered and could not enter reincarnation, so he was naturally angry. Only the ghost cha and the yin man seemed calmer.

"It's a little strange, what is Jiang Xuan's purpose in doing this? Is it just to discourage our spirits and make us angry? The Yin Man calmly analyzed.

As soon as he said this, the anger of the master and the old monk dissipated a little, and they began to think about this question. What did Jiang Xuan do this for?

If they want to force the master to meet him, it doesn't make sense, because now he is hiding by himself, and he can't be found at all. If it is said that it is to kill people for fun, then he can directly use evil magic to kill people, there is no need to lure them here, and then hang them so hard, and the benefits are taken by this deadly yellow ge. Jiang Xuan is not such a person who "sacrifices himself for others"!

So, there must be some unknown conspiracy in this.

Jiang Xuan did this...... What is it for? The master muttered in a low voice, this kind of laborious way does not seem to have a clear purpose.

At this time, the sky gradually became brighter and brighter, and the surrounding fog gradually dissipated, and people began to appear on the streets one after another. We have to get out of this place quickly, there are so many dead bodies, the police will definitely come later. If we're still here, it's not clear.

Although they are more powerful in the matter of yin and yang, in the matter of yang, they still have to listen to the state and the police. After all, no matter how powerful your Dao technique is, if you can't use confuse, intimidation and other means, under the sun in broad daylight, a bullet will come over, and no matter how bad your magic is, you will be killed by a single shot.

So we left quickly before the villagers found out, but our hearts were heavy.

Jiang Xuan was right, he really regarded this as a game, and the entire Lianghe Town was the "game place" between him and his master, which was an extremely terrifying person......
