The room was very dark, and the chandelier with dirt dangled from the roof, and the light hit the people's faces, and it looked eerie in the light and darkness.

Facing the door was a row of chairs, which in turn surrounded the table.

Su Changqing walked in, found a chair and sat down, looked at the round table opposite that seemed to be full of grease stains, and then looked at the man with his back to them.

The man poured three glasses of water in turn, and the water was still hot and steaming. Then he put it in front of them, and then sat down on the chair again.

The chairs were overwhelmed and squeaked, as if they were crawling with rats, looking at them strangely with small eyes.

"Thank you. ”

Su Changqing smiled at the other party, took the glass in his hand, held it tightly, and felt the warmth that kept coming from the cup, and then he felt that his palm, which had been frozen and numb, felt better.

The man sat leaning over the chair, fumbled through the pockets of his clothes, found a crumpled box of cigarettes, held it in his hand, shook it, and shook out a cigarette.

The lighter "clicked", and the faint light of the fire kept shaking in the dimly lit room.

The man lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it, the smoke rings wrapped in the air, blurring his cheeks even more, and he only felt that his body was decadent for a while.

"Tell me, how are you going to help me?"

His tone was very indifferent, as if he was no longer manic at all, only his sunken eyes, deep dark circles, and sloppy beard told how tormented he had been these days.

"Amitabha Buddha ......" Yuan Guang frowned, a little uncomfortable with the smell of smoke, until he smelled here for a while, and felt that his nose had become accustomed to it, then he spoke, "Master Li, can you tell us what you have encountered these days?"

"Met ...... What ......"

A trace of confusion flashed in Li Yang's eyes, and his smoking action stopped unconsciously.

"That'...... Did you help me?"

“...... Can you help me?!"

His tone suddenly became agitated, and his body jerked up from his chair.

"Click"

The chair was suddenly pushed back, and the feet of the chair rubbed against the ground with a screeching sound.

Yuan Guang looked at his appearance, sighed slightly, but still said calmly, "The little monk doesn't know, all this still has to be finished after listening to Li Shizhu's speech." ”

"I ......"

The man was suddenly silenced.

......

Suddenly it started to rain outside the door, and it was pouring on the bricks and mud. The fog outside the window seemed to grow louder all at once, drifting into the air, obscuring the rest of the color.

It was quiet all around, except for the pool outside, which was overflowing with water, and the droplets of water crackled and fell with the raindrops, splashing the noise of the room.

The man unconsciously threw down the cigarette in his hand, ran his rough fingers through his hair, grabbed the hair tightly, lowered his head, and whimpered low in his mouth.

"Li Shizhu ......"

Yuanguang opened his mouth, just about to say something.

The man suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said with a little hope, "That's ...... You can...... Help me?"

They don't know how many times they've heard this sentence......

Yuan Guang was stunned for a moment, looking at the hope in the man's eyes, and his heart was slightly unbearable.

Although he is already in his 20s, he can still have a soft heart because he has been concentrating on cultivation in the temple before, no better than those old monks who have seen through the red dust.

"Little monk...... I dare not say that there is a certain certainty...... Only...... All I can say is...... Let's do our best......"

He sighed in his heart, lowered his head, and whispered the Buddha's name to the man.

Although Yuanguang's words were vague, the man seemed to grasp some hope, his eyes widened in an instant, and he walked towards the young monk with a brisk step, and his voice began to change tone excitedly.

"Really, really?!"

"Really?!"

Yuan Guang nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, thank you......"

The words in his mouth were a little slurred, the green tendons on his hands flare up, his mouth kept saying thank you, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.

"Thank you......"

Yuanguang's face was slightly uncomfortable, and when he saw such an act for the first time, he didn't know where to put his hands, and he sat there helpless.

With a smile on his face, he suddenly stood up from the chair, walked slowly towards the man, and said in a childish voice, "Master Li, don't worry, we will definitely help you." ”

The child's voice was still milky, but the tone was peaceful, but the smile on his face was like a Buddha's smile towards the man, which made the man's eyes turn red all of a sudden.

The man covered his eyes, took a few steps back and fell back into his chair, lowered his head and exhaled heavily, before he showed a bitter smile to the three guests opposite.

"Master, I was so sorry just now. It's offensive, don't care about ......"

Yuan Guang is not very good at laughing, and when he heard this, he had a stiff smile on his face, as ugly as he wanted.

Li Yang didn't care, took a deep breath, and said, "This matter...... It happened the day I built my father's house......"

There was silence in the room, and everyone was listening to him with bated breath.

"I cut down the old tree at the entrance of the village that day......"

......

"From that day on, I had nightmares every day, and ...... And my shadow ......"

At this point, he suddenly stopped.

"Master, you say, is it because I cut down this tree that I discovered these misfortunes?"

Yuan Guang frowned, "This little monk doesn't know either, Master Li, can you tell me more details?"

Li Yang sighed slightly, "Later...... Every evening...... I found out my ...... It's mine...... My shadow is gone......"

"And every time I dream,...... There will always be a dark shadow chasing me in my dreams...... I ran and ran, and he chased and chased...... And then...... Just ate me......"

"I'm dead......"

As he spoke, there was despair in his eyes, and he looked at the round eyes with deep uneasiness, "Master......"

"Master, did you say that I suffered retribution for cutting down that tree!?"

Su Changqing looked at the man from the side, and sighed in his heart, sighing and sighing, and suddenly thought of the word "shadow ghost" mentioned by the system.

Yuan Guang lowered his head, as if he was thinking carefully for a while, and then said, "Master Li Shi...... Are you sure it was after you cut down the tree that those weird things happened?"

Li Yang nodded affirmatively.

"That ......"

Yuan Guang pursed his lips, glanced at the man opposite, and said, "That'...... It could be the ghost's work. ”
