But when it was still a forest here, in Qingyuan County, there was a child daughter-in-law of a large family, who couldn't stand the oppression and torture of her mother-in-law, and secretly ran out of the house. As a result, the matter was revealed, and he was found by his family, and he chased all the way to this wood. The child's daughter-in-law saw that there was no way out, so she had to run into this dense wood, and the housekeeper sent by her mother-in-law wanted to set fire to the forest and force her out, but strangely, she couldn't light the fire several times. In desperation, he could only surround this forest, and then send people into the woods to search. From morning to night, those family members sent three or four people to search in a row, but none of them went in. None of these three or four people came out, and the family members who were sent in a moment were a little panicked, and thought to themselves: Could it be that this forest will eat people? Why can I only see people entering but not leaving! So in addition to continuing to guard, I quickly sent someone to inform the old lady...... "The old woodcutter is quite good at telling stories, like commenting on a story, which makes Zhang Xuanqing listen to it with relish."

In the past few years, he began to track down the mysterious Taoist priest who appeared in Taihong County, but after failing to do so, he traveled around, asking about strange things about gods and ghosts everywhere he went. It's a pity that I have heard a lot of stories, but the gods and ghosts have not met one at all, at this time I listened to the old woodcutter, and I knew that the storyline behind it must be related to ghosts and gods, but whether there is a "dirty thing" here remains to be said.

Sure enough, with the hoarse voice of the old woodcutter, the story became more and more weird: "The lord of the big family came early the next morning, and in addition to the subordinates of his own family, he also brought a team of officials from the yamen. There is no need to ask, the old man must have spent money in the yamen to deal with the crime of child adoption and smuggling, so the county magistrate sent the official to arrest him. In less than a quarter of an hour, they saw these servants stumbling out of the woods, shouting as they ran: 'Call for a job!' If a person dies, he must call him to come for an autopsy. The officials who ran out were shocked, and when they calmed down a little, the old man realized that the child daughter-in-law had hanged herself on a big tree inside, and the three or four family members sent in yesterday were lying under the tree, as if they were all dead. ”

"Someone's life, not only is he coming, but the county master must also personally go to the scene to investigate the case, and he and a few officials dragged out the child daughter-in-law hanging on the tree and a few family members under the tree, and after checking, the child daughter-in-law has already been hanged, and several family members are still warm on their chests, with a weak pulse, and it seems that they are still saved. They generally have some medical knowledge, take soju in their mouths and spray it on their bodies, and then press and rub their bodies, busy for a while, and finally hear a long sigh, and the family members finally woke up. After inquiry, they found out that after they entered the woods that day, they had already seen the child daughter-in-law hanging on the tree, and several of them wanted to take the child daughter-in-law down from the tree and carry it out to report the merit, but who knew that when they just wanted to carry the corpse down, the eyes of the child daughter-in-law actually opened. The long hair fell down all of a sudden, and they only felt a cold wind blowing in their faces, and their eyes were black behind them, and they didn't know what to do. The two experiences that went in the back were similar, and when they came to the corpse, before they could turn around and go out to call someone, they felt a gust of cold wind, and the person fainted. As for what happened after that, I didn't know anything, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw the big guy. ”

The county lord and the old lady couldn't help but shudder when they heard what those family members said. Human life has always been worthless, not to mention that it was a child daughter-in-law who died, and the lord did not pursue it, so he hastily found a place and buried the child daughter-in-law at will. But since then, there have been many strange legends about this forest, some say that they saw ghost fires, some say that they heard women crying, and some even say that they saw women combing their hair. In short, this place has become a forbidden area in our local area, and no one enters it anymore, which makes it even more eerie. ”

"Later, in the Sui Dynasty, the official road was opened here, and this forest was originally to be cut down, but when the surrounding small trees were cut down, there was only this lonely big tree, and the project could not wake up anyway. No matter who cuts it, it will fall down with a bang, and I don't know if I live or die. Look at this big tree again, and there will be red blood stains from the axe wound. This time can frighten the officers and soldiers who opened the road, please ask the Taoist chief, call the monk, open the altar for 7749 days, after all, there is no way to take this big tree, so I stayed. ”

After the old woodcutter finished telling the story, he still talked about his sexuality, and asked Zhang Xuanqing: "By the way, Dao Chief, since you don't know this story, you must not be a local." I see you're packing a lot, are you going to Qingyuan County in front, or are you just passing through here?"

Zhang Xuanqing also rarely met such a capable uncle, and said with a smile: "If there is nothing to do, it should be regarded as passing by." "In the past few years, he has not been in any place for a long time, and he is basically sure that if he can't inquire about the ghosts and gods, he will leave, and rarely stay in one place.

The old woodcutter nodded when he heard the words and said, "That's good, the old man said before that it was not the right time for the Taoist chief to come, and I want to persuade the Taoist chief to come back in a few days." But since the Taoist chief is just passing by, the old man doesn't have many mouths. As long as the Taoist remembers it, don't stay in Qingyuan County for a long time. ”

"Oh, why is that?" Zhang Xuanqing couldn't help but be curious, and his eyes returned from the big tree in the center of the road.

As soon as he had finished listening to the old woodcutter's story, he glanced at the tree with his qi vision. It was discovered that the story told by the old woodcutter might be true: the tree was growing in a very bad place, and the body of the tree was full of evil spirits, and it was not strange that something strange would happen around it.

All the stories he has heard, whether it is a female ghost asking for her life, or a goblin doing harm, in the end, it is either a void, or it is caused by evil qi, and then it is just like the "fox spirit" seen in Hua Yuanxian, and even he doesn't know how to get into the "goblin" of the human body. I really haven't seen anyone who really understands the things of gods and ghosts.

If it weren't for the fact that the scene of seeing the ghost baby in modern time and space in the past was still vivid, he couldn't help but wonder if there were ghosts in this world.

But Rao is like this, he still can't help but think, could it be that ghosts and gods were only born after the Tang Dynasty?

At this time, hearing the seriousness of what the old woodcutter said, and even a hint of warning, he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that there is anything strange in Qingyuan County?

But I heard the old woodcutter say: (To be continued.) )
