Chapter 12: The Corpse Willow Under the Moon

Zhao Shanhu brought the unfortunate news that his eldest brother Zhao Shanlong had died.

After Zhao Zhigang finished speaking, nothing strange happened when he cut down the willow tree, and now he suddenly got the news of Zhao Shanlong's death. I had a snort in my heart, and I instinctively connected with the revenge of the willow manifestation.

Unexpectedly, the red soul's request for life is not over, and the willow tree has made an evil scene again.

"Daoist Ye, my eldest brother's death is weird, no one dares to move the corpse so far, I want you to take a look." Zhao Shanhu looked at me with pleading eyes and said.

"How weird?" I asked.

"Just check it out."

"I'm going like this?" I raised my handcuffs.

"Daoist Xiaoye, I admit that this is a bit rude to you. But in all fairness, it's also that you Guiyunguan is too unauthentic to do things. Collect money from people to eliminate disasters for others, Mr. Liu himself does not come, and Xiao Xie Daochang will never return, if you run away again, won't I be wronged in vain? Zhao Shanhu said with a wry smile.

"Then I'm not going either! I'm here for your son's business, and the lives of others have nothing to do with me. Besides, Xie Ling wants me to guard your son every step of the way, if he has three long and two short when I leave, you don't want to kill me and bury me. ”

"Daochang Ye, you don't have to worry about me, even if I really die, my father won't really kill you to accompany the funeral. You go and see my uncle, I heard people say that the vocation of a Taoist priest is to get rid of evil spirits and cross the soul. "Zhao Zhi persuaded me.

Zhao Zhi's attitude makes me very strange, he doesn't seem to be worried about Wang Fang's revenge now, does he know that he is in a catastrophe, and has accepted his fate.

And Zhao Shanhu seemed to have accepted his fate, but he just looked at Zhao Zhi with complicated eyes.

When it came to this, I had no choice but to agree. But if I'm going, the handcuffs will have to be undone. Because Zhao Zhi can't follow, he is now restless and weak, and he is most likely to clash with corpses.

Zhao Shanhu also understood this, he took out the handcuff key and opened the ring in Zhao Zhi's hand. Just when I thought I was about to regain my freedom, Zhao Shanhu snapped and handcuffed directly to his wrists.

Nima, you can still play like this!

With tears streaming down my eyes, I walked out hand in hand with Zhao Shanhu, and in order not to attract attention, he found a piece of clothing to cover the handcuffs.

Zhao Shanlong lives at the entrance of the village, less than 100 meters away from the willow tree that he sawed off. It was precisely because he lived too close to the willow tree that Zhao Shanlong had long been fed up with the bloody breath of the willow tree. So when Zhao Shanhu asked who was willing to cut down the tree, he was the first to jump out with a chainsaw.

Zhao Shanhu said that since Zhao Qing's death, his brother's mood has been unstable. He would come every night to chat with his brother and have two drinks. Knocking on the door tonight and no one answered, I broke down the door and went in to find that his brother was dead.

Zhao Shanlong's door was crowded with onlookers, pointing to the courtyard and discussing. Seeing me and Zhao Shanhu coming, the villagers consciously gave way to a passage and closed their mouths at the same time.

The moonlight tonight is very good, and the earth is snow-white. There was no one in Zhao Shanlong's courtyard, only a willow tree, which looked weird. There is a saying in the countryside that willows are not planted before and mulberry is not planted, why does Zhao Shanlong carry willows in the courtyard.

It's spring, and this willow tree in Zhaoshan's dragon courtyard looks lush and green, with lush branches. Illuminated by the moonlight, the green light is faint and very poetic.

I thought that Zhao Shanhu would take me to see his eldest brother's body immediately, but he stopped at the door, looking very uneasy.

"Let's go, take me to see it." I urged him.

"Daoist Xiaoye, you have seen it," Zhao Shanhu said with a hard swallow.

"Where?" I didn't notice it when I looked left and right.

"That willow tree is my big brother!"

As soon as Zhao Shanhu finished speaking, a cool breeze suddenly appeared. I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel that this cool breeze is very cold, and the chill rises from my bones, so I can't help but shiver.

The onlookers were also affected, and they did not dare to stay at the door, so they all retreated to the street outside the door. It's just that they haven't seen enough of the excitement, and they are reluctant to go home. I heard them say that the willow god has appeared again.

The willow branches in the courtyard moved with the wind, and the familiar bloody smell reached the tip of my nose, exactly the same as the smell of the willow stump at the entrance of the village.

"That willow tree is your big brother?" I asked, surprised.

"See for yourself."

With so many villagers here, Zhao Shanhu was no longer afraid of me running away, and quietly opened the handcuffs under his clothes and put them away.

I stretched my hands and feet a little and walked slowly towards the willow tree. Step by step, when I was still three meters away from the willow tree, I finally understood why Zhao Shanhu said that the willow tree was his eldest brother.

This is not a willow tree at all, but a man with willow branches all over his body!

Zhao Shanlong was naked, and his body was all covered with dark black blood. The willow branches were not so much stuck in him as they grew out of him. I even doubt that the two legs he had buried in the soil would have turned into willow roots.

No wonder Zhao Shanhu said that his brother's death was weird, not only weird, it was extremely weird.

Zhang Youde, Wang Fei, Zhao Qing, Lin Xiaoguang, although these four people also died very strangely, but if they are explained according to common sense, they can still be explained.

For example, Zhang Youde's head cut may have been committed to hysteria, it is normal for Wang Fei to die of alcohol poisoning, Zhao Qing's death from the fish and dragon formation is a mistake, and even Lin Xiaoguang was unscrewed by a cooked goose and the pot can be described as an illusion produced by water vapor.

However, Zhao Shanlong's death cannot be explained by any common sense at all.

As the yin wind blows, the willow branches sway, and the blood is bloody, and the more you look at it, the more frightened you become.

However, at the same time, there was a surge of excitement in my heart!

Zhao Shanlong died so miserably, although it was karma, he would definitely be angry after his death. If you overdo him, your merit will definitely increase.

Isn't it true that I worked hard to study the Tao in order to accumulate merit for entering the WTO and cultivating, and then to seek a ray of life for Bai Rushuang? Every night I would fall asleep stroking the fox mark left by the white frost, and every day I would miss her more than the day before.

I decided to overtake Zhao Shanlong.

"Uncle Zhao, your eldest brother's corpse must be overtaken immediately, and it will change later." I walked to the door and said to him.

"Daoist Xiaoye, don't be so troublesome, let's just burn the corpse."

"Burning corpses? Do you know that if the corpse of a person who dies is burned, the soul will never enter the underworld? "Zhao Shanhu said that he wanted to burn the corpse surprised me, how to say that Zhao Shanlong is also his eldest brother, and burning the corpse is only done by enemies.

"My eldest brother was killed by the manifestation of the willow tree, and if he forcibly excesses, I am afraid that he will anger the willow god again, and then our entire village will suffer." Zhao Shanhu explained with a face full of shame.

As soon as he finished saying this, he was immediately echoed by the onlookers.

"The corpse is still burned, burned to ashes, and the fire is clean."

"Yes, the willow god can't be offended."

"This Taoist priest doesn't know the severity, and he doesn't have any real skills at a young age."

"It was still Village Chief Zhao who understood the righteousness and offered to burn his eldest brother's body."

……

I listened to it on fire.

It's rare to encounter such a great merit, and this group of people still doesn't want me to succeed.

"Hehe, you're only worried about whether you will offend the Willow God, aren't you afraid that Zhao Shanlong's resentment will be difficult to dispel and cause evil?" I said with a sneer.

As soon as I said this, no one spoke.

"Daoist Xiaoye, if you are too much to do with you, but we will not help you." Zhao Shanhu said.

"Hehe, do you think I wouldn't dare to be alone?" I said with a sneer.

If you want to surpass Zhao Shanlong, you must pull out all the willow branches on the corpse, and then dig the corpse out of the soil and flatten. The thought of pulling out the willow branches stuck in the flesh one by one makes my scalp tingle. But for the sake of white as frost, I decided to give it up.

Before plucking the willow branches, I first walked around the corpse willow and said: "Heaven and earth are natural, the filth is scattered, the cave is mysterious, and the sun is too yuan." Kill the demons and bind the evil, save the ghosts by tens of millions, the Dao Qi lasts forever, the evil dissipates, I serve the Nine Heavens Jade Emperor as anxious as the law! ”

After reciting the Taoist mantra of pure heaven and earth, I rolled up my sleeves and began to work.

I didn't dare to pull out the willow branches in Zhao Shanlong's seven knots first, for fear of bringing out something very uninteresting. It was decided to start with the fleshy part of his back, and it didn't take much effort to pull out the first willow branch.

The willow branch entered the flesh about an inch, and the roots were still dripping with sticky black blood.

It's a little different from what I expected.

If it is the revenge of the willow tree, these willow branches should be fused with the flesh and skin, how can they be pulled out so easily?
