The old man's grandfather and his family went out to look for him, and when the village asked one by one, they all said that the little boy had gone home. At the end of the question, someone finally told the old man's grandfather that he had seen the little boy go to the big camphor tree.

The old man's grandfather was shocked when he heard this, because since the great camphor tree was destroyed by thunder and fire, only one trunk remained. Originally, only the little officer's family lived next to the big camphor tree, but after the little officer left the village, dozens of meters around the big camphor tree was barren and there was no one left. Moreover, the villagers later discovered that the burned camphor tree seemed to have some strange and strange power, and as long as people stayed near the camphor tree for a long time, they would become a little trance-like. The adults were fine, but if the children had stayed under the camphor tree for a while, they would have to get seriously ill.

Once, a few children in the village played hide and seek, and one child hid behind the big camphor tree, and the other children listened to the adults' instructions and did not go to the big camphor tree, so the child hid behind the big camphor tree for a long time. By the time the child's family found him, the child was unconscious next to the tree. Later, he was rescued casually, but he became a fool.

Gradually, the camphor tree became a nightmare for the villagers. No one dares to go to the big camphor tree, and sometimes when they pass by the mountain, they are far away from it.

So when the old man's grandfather heard that his son had gone to the camphor tree, he was so shocked that his heart was about to jump out. He didn't have time to call anyone, so he ran to the big camphor tree alone.

At that time, it was already dark, and the moon was very bright that night, and the sky and the earth were soft and white, but the old man's grandfather was anxious, where could he take care of this, and when he arrived under the big camphor tree, the scene in front of him suddenly frightened him.

Under the trunk of the big camphor tree, there was a woman dressed in blue. The woman was half-crouched, her head bowed, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and in front of her, a little boy dressed in black lay down.

In the bright moonlight, the old man's grandfather could see that the little boy was his son!

His son was lying in front of a strange woman, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the old man's grandfather was a little anxious, so he walked towards the little boy, and as he walked he said, "You are"

Before she could finish speaking, the woman with her head bowed suddenly raised her head, revealing a miserable white face!

"Ahh The old man's grandfather was struck by lightning and fell straight down in fright!

It's not that the old man's grandfather is timid, or that the woman's face is too terrible, but that the woman's appearance is exactly the same as the wife of the little officer who hanged herself on the big camphor tree ten years ago!

The old man's grandfather also had a heart for the little officer's wife ten years ago, and although ten years have passed, the appearance of the little officer's wife has not been forgotten. At this time, I suddenly saw a woman who should have been dead for ten years, still in a place like the big camphor tree that made people feel nervous, so the old man's grandfather was stunned the first time he saw the woman.

When the old man's grandfather woke up, it was still dark and the moon was still bright. And his people are still on the edge of the big camphor tree!

The old man's grandfather recalled what happened before he fainted, and he looked around, only to find that the terrible woman was gone.

And under the trunk of the big camphor tree, there stood a cyan shadow.

Seeing the cyan shadow, the old man's grandfather was like seeing a relative, because the cyan figure had a high bun on his head, a wooden sword on his back, and a cyan robe reflected a deep light in the moonlight.

The old man's grandfather had never seen much of the world, but he still recognized the man's identity at a glance.

That's a Taoist priest!

Just now the ghost was still frightened, and the old man's grandfather suddenly found that a Taoist priest appeared in front of him, can he not be excited?

"Dao Dao Chief!" The old man's grandfather thought about it for a long time, and then he remembered what to call a Taoist priest.

"Shhhh —" The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi made a silent gesture to the old man's grandfather, and then pointed to the ground. Lying on the ground was a little boy, who was inferred from the boy's undulating chest and calm face that he must be asleep.

The old man's grandfather was overjoyed, who was that not his son? He rushed forward and picked up the boy, calling out his name. The little boy slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the old man's grandfather, he burst into tears.

The old man's grandfather originally thought that he and his son were dead, but he didn't expect that after sleeping, there would be nothing to do. Could it be that the scene of seeing the little officer's wife before was a dream?

"Dao Chief, did you see a woman in blue just now?" The old man's grandfather thought about it and asked the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi.

The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi held his hands behind him, looked up at the big camphor tree, and there was a look of contempt and disgust on his face: "I didn't see the woman in blue, I only saw a female ghost in blue." ”

"Ahh The old man's grandfather was shocked and couldn't help but shout, "Dao Dao Chief, female ghost? Where is it? ”

Seeing that the old man's grandfather was frightened, the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't have to be so afraid. When the poor road passed nearby, he felt that the ghost here was angry, and he rushed over to see that there was a female ghost who was doing evil here, so the poor road got rid of it. ”

"Removed?" The old man's grandfather saw that the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi said it so lightly, and he didn't know whether he should believe it or not.

The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi seemed to see what the old man's grandfather was thinking, and said, "If you don't believe it, I'll make a bet with you." ”

The old man's grandfather was stunned: "What are you betting on?" ”

The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi pointed to the big camphor tree and said, "When I got rid of the ghosts, you were still in a coma and didn't see it, so you didn't believe what I said." Then I'll bet you on something you can see, this camphor tree is now only a trunk, but I tell you, it will come back to life, and in a few decades, it will grow back to its original form! ”

The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi looked confident and his tone was determined, and he didn't look like he was making a bet, but more like he was making a prediction.

The old man's grandfather didn't have any ideas, but when he heard the words of the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, he didn't have any other reaction except for nodding blankly.

After the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi made a bet with the old man's grandfather, he drifted away.

The old man's grandfather went home with his son in his arms, and he was worried that his son would become a fool, but later he found that his son was alive and kicking as before, so he was relieved.

The old man's grandfather was not a person who loved to shout, and what happened that night in the big camphor tree, he did not tell others, and kept it hidden.

Later, after a while, the villagers found that the strange power of the big camphor tree seemed to have disappeared, and nothing happened to the adults and children when they stayed around. What's even more amazing is that the big mulberry tree, which was burned to the point that only a single trunk remains, sprouts sprouted, and within a few years it grew new branches.

After a few decades, it grew tall and green again. It's just that it's worse than before the robbery.

The old man's grandfather saw the changes in the big camphor tree, and he was convinced of the words of the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi.

The more time passed, the more he felt that the person he met that night was not a Taoist priest but an immortal.

One day decades later, the old man's grandfather was lying in the shade in the courtyard of his house, he was already over the age of old, and the deadline was approaching, when suddenly a breeze blew, and a cyan figure appeared in front of him.

With a high bun on his head, a cyan Taoist robe, and a wooden sword on his back, it was a Taoist priest in Tsing Yi who came with the wind, looking at the old man who was about to leave this world and grandpa smiled: "We made a bet, but I won." ”

The old man's grandfather was in a trance, where did he remember the gamble that the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi talked to himself decades ago, just looked at the Taoist priest in front of him who didn't seem to have aged at all, and his mouth opened wide: "God... Immortals..."

The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi laughed three times and left.

Later, the old man's grandfather told the old man about it.

The old man's personality is very different from his grandfather's, the old man is a big mouth.

He told everyone he knew about it, but unfortunately decades have passed, and no one believes what he tells as a ghost story.
