......

That tree......

When he was a child, he would climb up to the tall tree every evening, and the branches of that tree grew crookedly, but it was just right for him to climb forward.

As soon as he climbs up, he does nothing, thinks about nothing, just looks out at the whole world.

The sunset before him was stunning, sometimes purple and pink, sometimes like a fiery orange, and seemed to set the clouds on fire near the horizon.

He could stay there for a whole day, basking in the sun, and his body gradually exuded the smell of the sun, the warm temperature of his whole body.

And every time he climbed to a high place, he always had the feeling that he was going to fly.

That was the only way he could touch the sky when he was a child.

Su Changqing turned his head sideways and looked at the orange-red light outside through the window, as if he wanted to look at the tree again through the air and the room.

Although the tree had many old scars and was crooked and ugly, he thought it was the most beautiful tree in the world.

It's just that...... He hadn't climbed up for a long, long time.

Thinking of this, Su Changqing got up from the bed again, put on cotton slippers on his feet, opened the door and walked out.

It's still late and the sun is setting.

Su Changqing walked through the courtyard and came under the big banyan tree again.

He looked up and saw the sunlight drifting in thin pieces on his orange leaves, and then falling to the ground.

The colorful sunset spread from the sky, and he looked at it, his eyes unconsciously imprinting their colors.

"Master Su, what are you looking at?"

A childish voice came from behind him.

Su Changqing was stunned, turned his head sideways, and saw the little monk who was still full of childishness.

"It's clean. ”

Su Changqing smiled at him, "I'm looking at the tree." ”

"Trees?"

Yijing blinked his eyes and didn't understand, just looked at him in confusion.

Su Changqing didn't speak, smiled at him, smiled and smiled, but turned around again and looked up at the big banyan tree.

He can't remember the events of his previous life anymore, and can only vaguely remember that when he was young, there was such a tree.

He also likes to frolic on it and look at the sky from above.

They seem to have traveled through time to come to him, there is a saying, "The flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year", he entered the army when he was a teenager, and when he was young, he retired from the army and married a wife, and finally the children grew up and his wife was gone.

This is the only tree that has always stood here, but it has finally proved that it is gradually aging.

The little monk had already left unconsciously, and Su Changqing touched the trunk of the tree, and he could still vaguely feel his life.

If that Shadow Phantom is here...... Will he change?

Leave him alone, just finish the task.

He shook his head, looking back at the sunset, which was already about to set, as if he was going to stare deeply at something, and at last forgot about him.

Wait a minute...... Let's go to Li's house and take a look for myself, what he can rely on now is those few broken things.

......

*

Inside the Li family's house

A man with unkempt hair looked at the setting sun, his eyes bloodshot and his face full of horror.

Every night, he felt like he was going to die.

At night, there is always a shadow in his ears, like a demon in the night, the halo shining on the wall can gradually flash a dark shadow, towards him a burst of fangs and claws, as if it is about to pounce on him, tearing off a piece of flesh, and even, he seems to be able to see the shadow's blood-red eyes.

Even though he knew it was all just his hallucination.

This shadow ghost mostly appears at night, sometimes in his dreams, and sometimes it sticks to his shadow, even if he listens to the little monk that this shadow ghost will not harm people's lives, but Li Yang is still very afraid of this thing.

After all, he had lived for so many years, and he had wandered in the big city, and he was a staunch atheist, but now, this shadow appeared, and it not only made his heart panic, but also made his spirit collapse in an instant.

At this time, a big man who was originally a strong man had now lost a lot of weight, and he was hiding in the corner of a dimly lit room shivering.

A sigh came from outside the door of the room.

This was the sigh of Li Yang's father.

In fact, compared to Li Yang, Li Yang's father's heart is even more unhappy, and his heart is tormented all the time.

This is his child, who originally went back to his hometown to help him build a house, but now he is entangled in this kind of thing, and he becomes crazy and stupid every day.

How could he not be heartbroken?

"Smack. ”

At this moment, there was the sound of something breaking in the house.

Old Li's brows were tightly furrowed, his hands trembled a little, and he pushed open the door tremblingly and walked in.

At this time, it was dark in the room, and the curtains had been pulled down at some point, so the old man couldn't see the surroundings clearly, he fumbled to find the light switch and just wanted to turn it on, paused, but did not turn on the light.

"Daisen ......"

Old man Li couldn't see the surroundings clearly, so he could only turn his head to Li Yang on the bed.

Seeing his son, who has now become inhuman, his heart is as uncomfortable as a knife.

"Please don't torture my son......"

He was now nearly a century old, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak clearly, "He's still young...... I asked him to cut down the tree...... Don't blame him for the ......"

The old man's voice was a little hoarse as he spoke.

"I made the trees cut down...... I asked him to cut down the trees......"

His shriveled lips trembled like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and his eyes moistened unconsciously. I kept repeating this sentence in my mouth, and I refused to break it.

"If you want to possess me, possess me...... Daisen ...... Daisen ......"

Suddenly, he took a few steps forward and reached out to touch his son, but was stopped by a broken voice.

"Dad...... Daddy......"

It was his son's voice, very low, and he looked very weak.

Old man Li trembled his hands, looking at his son's appearance, he didn't dare to move again, he could only stand in place stupidly, his eyes gradually revealed a look of despair, he was an old man, and this was his only son, so for this son, he felt sorry for him in his heart.

Now that this thing has happened, it is very likely that he will send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, how can this not make him despair?

At this time, the door outside rang with a "knock knock".

The movement in the house was condensed.

Who will visit at this time?

Old man Li didn't want to care, he just wanted to see his son, maybe this was their last few seconds, but the knock outside the door kept banging.

"Who!"

He knocked on the crutch, the sadness in his eyes was about to overflow from it, and he came to the door tremblingly, Old Man Li opened a crack in the door, poked his head out hard, and the blood vessels on it seemed to be clearly visible.

"It's me. ”

An equally old voice came from outside the door.

Old man Li opened the door, facing the autumn wind, and saw a white-haired old man standing outside the door.

"You ......"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the person outside the door.

"We just met this afternoon. ”

Su Changqing smiled at him.

"Afternoon ......"

Old Man Li's face changed, and the expression on his face suddenly became unsightly.

For the three people who came this afternoon, he naturally didn't have a good impression, not to mention that he couldn't help his son, and further made his son even more crazy, so it was strange what kind of smile he could give Su Changqing.

"What are you going to do. Old man Li's tone was hard, like a piece of wood.

Su Changqing didn't care about this situation when he saw it, after all, he also thought about this situation, and after thinking about it, then naturally there was nothing to be sad about.

He smiled absentmindedly, "Old Li, I'm here to help you." ”

"Huh. ”

Old man Li suddenly looked at him with a strange look, "In the afternoon, if you hadn't stimulated my son, how could he have become like this!"

He said sharply, and as he spoke, his voice became more and more hoarse, and his eyes glared at Su Changqing, as if he was on fire.

"You get out! You get out!"

Old man Li knocked on the crutches vigorously, as if he was going to poke the crutches into Su Changqing's heart.

Before Su Changqing could speak, he closed the door viciously.

Immediately after, Su Changqing heard the sound of the door.
