Chapter 567: Soul at the Bottom of the Tree

In the woods, there was a looming mist. The moonlight spilled into the forest through the cracks in the leaves, and it also became mottled and broken.

San'er felt so strange, how could she be in such a strange forest. The strange sight around him made him suspicious, although it was a midsummer night, there was not a single sound of insects chirping in the forest, and the silence around him was like death.

It's not that San'er doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he is naturally bold, and although he is in such a weird and terrifying forest, although he is afraid in his heart, he does not seem to be panicked.

He looked at the forest, and although he didn't feel much, he had a very contradictory feeling, as if it was boundless. San'er calmed down, looked up at the moon, judged the direction, and then hurried out of the forest.

But no matter how he went, he couldn't get out of the woods. Just as he was in doubt, he suddenly heard a voice faintly floating over, as if calling his name.

San'er was frightened, and looked around and there was no one, but the voice was indeed there.

He coughed dryly, and dared to exclaim, "Who are you?" How do you know my name? What kind of place is this? ”

The voice, though light, was rather desolate; It was clear that he was beside San'er, but he felt uncertain. When San'er was frightened, the voice sighed: "San'er, I am your aunt on the edge of Jixiang Temple." San'er, you stepped on my hand. ”

San'er was startled and asked in horror, "Auntie, is it really you?" You disappeared seven years ago, and we had a hard time finding you. Auntie, where have you been, why don't you say a word to your family? ”

San'er was talking, when he suddenly thought of the voice saying that he had stepped on her hand, and he couldn't help but blow up his scalp, because he also felt that he was stepping on something strange on his left foot, and he felt so uncomfortable.

He was so frightened that he jumped to the side, and when he looked back, he saw that where he had just stood, a hand had been trampled into the mud by himself.

The hand suddenly moved, and its fingers spread out, as if it wanted to grasp the moon in the sky. San'er looked at the miserable white hand stretched out from the mud in horror, feeling that his vest was wet, although he was bold, he was still frightened by the terrible scene in front of him and was covered in a cold sweat.

The hand was back on the ground from the air, scratching at something. In the blink of an eye, another hand came out of the dirt, and for a moment it danced in the air, and began to pick at the dirt, scratching desperately.

After a while, a head covered in mud also emerged from the dirt, and a yellow hair stained with mud and grass clippings covered the skull's face.

San'er screamed in fright, but he immediately felt that his scream was not coming out at all.

At this time, the two hands also stopped picking at the soil, and wiped the messy hair covering their faces, revealing the face of a terrible old woman.

The face gritted his teeth at San'er, and said gloomily: "San'er, I'm your aunt, I haven't seen you for so many years, don't you remember me?" ”

The old woman began to cry as she spoke, and San'er was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she sat down on the ground. He didn't dare to look at the scene in front of him, but curiosity and fear forced him to stare at the man's head involuntarily.

After a long time, San'er said in a trembling voice: "Auntie, is it really you?" How did you end up buried in the ground? What kind of place is this? ”

The man said miserably: "San'er, you finally recognize me." I've been in this place for seven years, and I've been tortured, and I'm so miserable! ”

San'er boldly asked, "Auntie, are you dead?" Are you a ghost now? ”

Although San'er asked like this, he also understood in his heart that this was a lot of questions. The man said miserably: "San'er, don't be afraid, Auntie has already become a ghost, but Auntie won't harm you, Auntie wants you to help me." ”

San'er looked at the head in horror, and the head said slowly: "San'er, you only know that I disappeared seven years ago, but you don't know that I am not missing, but killed." Poor me, I became a lonely ghost, and I don't know who killed me. San'er, I have been imprisoned here, and my soul cannot break free from the powerful spiritual control here, and I have been tortured. San'er, you must find a way to take me home. ”

San'er asked fearfully, "Auntie, don't you even know who killed you?" ”

The head whimpered and said, "I really don't know, I just remember that the old man went out to drink and didn't come back late at night." I fell asleep in a daze, and vaguely felt that there was a Taoist priest-like person, calling my name incessantly, and I involuntarily followed him. When I got to the door, I turned around and scared me to death, and I saw that I was still asleep on the table. ”

"The Taoist priest led me into the woods, and I don't know what incantation he recited, and he burned a few pieces of paper, and I immediately felt that I was overwhelmed by something invisible. From then on I was imprisoned on this earth for seven years. In the past seven years, I have tried to escape from the ground many times, but the tall trees around me are like a huge net, and like a hand, holding down and not letting me come out. ”

San'er was shocked and asked in a trembling voice, "Auntie, then how did you get out of the ground today?" ”

The head smiled bitterly: "San'er, a few days ago, I didn't know who came from this woods. It was only when I felt that there seemed to be several Buddha bone relics on his body, and that powerful power had greatly reduced the yin power of the trees here, and I could barely stretch out my hands to reveal my head. ”

San'er said "Ahh Then why can't we find you? ”

The head said miserably: "San'er, I only understood later." I was the first soul to go out of my body, and I was subdued in this underground. Later, I felt that the Taoist priest had actually moved my body and buried it under the tree here. It's a lot of yin here, and my body hasn't rotted yet. ”

The head cried again: "San'er, I am just a relative like you." You just have to bring my body home from under the tree, and my soul will go home with you. In this way, I can go to the underworld and be reincarnated as a human being. San'er, you must help me, please! ”

San'er hesitated and said, "Auntie, what kind of place is this?" How can I find your body? ”

The head whined and said, "San'er, aren't you very familiar with this place?" Remember, my body was buried under a tree. ”

San'er was about to ask each other, but saw that the trees around him suddenly made a whining sound. A gust of wind struck, and one of the big trees slashed down from the air like a big hand, pressing Aunt San'er's exposed hands and head into the mud alive, and there was no trace of it again.
