Chapter 14: Upper Body

Not only were there strips of cloth, but there were also many unburned yellow incense sticks on the mud at the roots of the trees, which were staggered from side to side. These things add to the mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

Old man Wang and Lin Faguang glanced at each other. Lin Faguang said to me: "Xiao Luo, don't touch these things on the ground, they are for the pilgrims to pass by." It seems that there is a spirit in the depths, and we are looking for the right place. Wang, are you sure that the dead ghost has something to do with the locust tree spirit? ”

Old man Wang was carrying a big bag, with two hands in his sleeves, and said lightly: "Just look at it." ”

We continued along the path, and the further we went, the more misty and dim the light became. Only dense clusters of dead branches can be seen. We turned on the flashlight, and the old man Wang walked in the front, opening the way as he went, and pushed the branches away. It's not too difficult to walk, the road has been stepped out, so as not to get lost.

After walking for about an hour, the road seemed to have no end, and I knew that I had penetrated into the heart of the mountains.

We sat down under the roots of the tree to rest, and after resting for a while, Old Man Wang grabbed me: "Xiao Luo, Lao Lin." You see. ”

Not far from the depths of the woods, there was an upright black shadow in the shadows. I flashed my flashlight past it, and I was stunned for a moment. This shadow hides in the darkness, and its shape is extremely strange.

This is a stone man. Short, stout, and looks like a standing chrysalis. The posture is a little weird. When the light swept across its face, it was a bare ball of stone, with no facial features. It's a little scary that something like this suddenly pops up in the woods.

I gasped, "What is this?" ”

Old man Wang touched his chin and pondered: "How can there be such a thing here?" ”

"What is this?" Lin Faguang didn't know each other either.

Old man Wang looked at him. said: "This is a kind of ghost in the legend, we don't have it in the north, this kind of east and west people in the south worship more." This kind of ghost difference is strange, and the strange thing is that it is not on an errand in the underworld, but in the yang world for people to drive. I heard from my master that he had seen such a thing in the house of a master of sorcery in the south. The master of evil art raises ghosts, and he is afraid that the little ghosts will back, so there is a magic altar at home dedicated to this ghost. ”

"What does it mean to be here?" I asked.

Old man Wang closed his eyes and stared for a long time before slowly opening his eyes: "I am most afraid of a situation now, you think about it, this stone ghost did not fly by himself, there must be someone standing here." Think about it, who will it be who knows this thing and solemnly places it here to worship?! Why is this person able to appear here, what is his purpose, is he coveting the locust tree spirit and has bad intentions? ”

"Lao Wang, you are too worried, how can you be so strict." Lin Faguang smiled.

Old man Wang looked up at the black canopy and sighed: "Things here are treacherous, so it's better to be careful." ”

We set off again and walked a little further, with two large trees in front of us on the side of the road, and there were red lines between the trunks of the trees, just to seal the road. We looked at each other, ignored no one and got under the red line. I have a strong premonition that we seem to be entering a horrible no-go zone.

Walking forward, the road is gone, there is an open forest area in front of me, the flashlight sweeps, there are no less than 100 locust trees densely packed here, all of them are tall and stout, covering the sky and the sun, who knows which one. I asked the old man Wang how the locust tree could become a fine man.

Old man Wang said: "I told you that only the mother locust can become a sperm, and it must be by chance. To absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, sometimes it takes a little opportunity, such as a woman relieving her hands under the tree, and it happens that the one comes to drip menstrual blood, so that it may become sperm. He added: "You must see blood to become sperm." ”

Lin Faguang didn't know if it was sarcastic: "Lao Wang, you quite understand." ”

Old man Wang snorted twice and did not answer. Hold on.

As we walked around this dense forest, the old man said, "Look carefully, there are signs that the locust tree is becoming fine. Someone has been here, and they will leave a trace. ”

The three of them did not dare to separate too far. It was strange here, it was daytime, but it was bleak, the sky was gray, and the whole forest was shrouded in a thick fog. In this forest, the line of sight is very transparent, but further away, beyond the forest is a fog, and we seem to have entered a special space isolated by the world.

was looking for it, and suddenly heard Lin Faguang shouting: "Here." ”

I hurriedly followed the sound, and a large locust tree appeared in the depths of the forest. This locust tree looks unusual, first of all, it is big, people stand below it like ants, because the light is too dark, only see the branches on the head, dense and impermeable, it is impossible to assess how much more this tree has, this tree has a very majestic feeling, in this stand, the law is solemn, the mother is the world. The strangest and strangest thing is that there are two tree scars on the trunk of the tree, how do you look like two strange eyes. It is said that the finishing touch, as soon as this eye comes out, the whole tree seems to be alive, and there is a particularly indescribable temperament.

Under the roots of the tree, there were dishes and bowls, a lot of offerings, and yellow burning paper, all of which were broken and messy at this time. There are still a lot of residual incense that has been burned for seven short and eight long years and falls on the ground, which feels quite depressed.

It must be this tree, and intuition aside, these offerings speak for themselves.

On the trunk of the tree, hung a small wooden plank, on which were plastered with notes. We leaned over and looked at it with a flashlight, and the notes were full of some words of prayer, "God, give me a woman", "Old tree spirit, bless me and Lingling's love is smooth", "Tree spirit, can you help me aphrodisiac, if my body recovers, I will offer you a pig's head", and even more, there are those who are not afraid of death and write "Huaimm, they all say that you are a beauty, can I xxx with you"...... And so on and so forth.

Old man Wang is right, the locust tree spirit is mainly in charge of the love luck of men and women. I was watching intently, and Old Man Wang touched me: "Look at this." ”

He picked up a note, which looked new and shouldn't have been written for long. It is "I'm a ** silk, I've never tasted a woman, I want to have an object who loves her well, can you give me a good girl." Date xxxx. The name left below is: "Chen Chang".

I couldn't see anything special about this note, but Old Man Wang said next to him: "Chen Chang is a college student who hanged himself from the tree in the water tower." ”

I took a breath of cold air: "He is the one we summoned last night." ”

"Yes." Old man Wang's eyes were clear, and he said, "Look at the date of his message." ”

I didn't react for a while, and said casually, "What's wrong with the date?" ”

Old man Wang said: "The date of his message is the day he died!" ”

My scalp was tingling and my throat was throbbing. Lin Faguang squatted next to him and did not speak.

Old man Wang said: "This Chen Chang came to the mountain to pray for the blessing of the locust tree spirit during the day, but in the early morning of the same night, he died on the water tower tree that crossed the mountains and mountains. What happened in between? ”

"yes, what happened?" I said with a shudder, my teeth chattering.

"Lao Lin, what's going on?" Old man Wang asked Lin Faguang.

Lin Faguang didn't know what to think, he didn't react for a while, and only said after a while: "Damn, how do I know what happened." ”

Old man Wang touched his smooth chin and said, "No matter what happens, there are three consequences. First, Chen Chang went over the mountains and mountains to the water tower from the locust tree spirit, how did he get there, why did he go Second, Chen Chang finally died next to the water tower Third, he died without clothes. He came here to pray for blessings, he must have been wearing clothes, but where were the clothes when he died? ”

I was stunned by what he said. My brain is turning slowly, and it took me a long time to understand the taste, and the three things that Old Man Wang said are very real doubts.

"Look at this." Lin Faguang turned to the side of the tree and said with a flashlight.

Old man Wang and I leaned over, and a long red rope was tied to one of the branches. We looked along the rope, and the end of the rope was dragged on the ground, and it was dirty to step on.

Lin Faguang squatted on the ground and shone a flashlight on the red rope, as if he had found something and picked up something to see.

I saw that he was holding a small sandalwood bead in his hand.

Seeing this bead, I suddenly lost my composure, patted Lin Faguang's shoulder, trembled and said, "This is the bead for unraveling the bell!" ”

I remember that there was a string of sandalwood beads with light on the bell, and the color was clear, half black and not yellow, which was exactly what I was looking like in front of me.

The bell is generally not carried with it, and it is only worn on the wrist when going out to run errands. Now this string of beads is scattered on the ground, which means at least two points, that he has had an accident here.

I took a closer look at the ground with my flashlight and picked up two more of the same beads.

I said to Old Man Wang, "Uncle Wang, Xie Ling has been here. ”

Old man Wang looked at the long red rope thoughtfully, and his brows furrowed tightly.

I asked him what was wrong, and the old man Wang held the red rope and said, "This rope should be tied to the bell, do you know what he is going to do?" ”

"I don't know."

Old man Wang said word by word: "He is asking the locust tree spirit to come up." ”
