Chapter 982 The non-existent locust tree
Everyone in the village was frightened and picked up hoes and sickles to chase the snake spirit. In the end, she escaped with scars on her body.
I heard that one night a few days later, the snake spirit came back to find Fang Tuo and asked him if he would like to live in the mountains with him. Fang Tuo was already scared, so naturally he didn't want to.
The snake left sadly. Later, for some reason, all kinds of strange things began to happen in the village. All the children born to pregnant women were girls. They hired countless doctors and took countless prescriptions but were useless.
The men in the village also began to self-harm one by one, and they all had various methods of self-harm, such as cutting off their fingers with an axe, pulling out their teeth with pliers, and cutting their arms with a knife. In short, it was a terrible sight, just like a purgatory on earth. The villagers invited Taoist priests, and the Taoist priests all said that it was the snake spirit that was the cause of the trouble, but they had no choice.
Later, as more and more women in the village were, fewer and fewer men were born, the village was also renamed: Yinren Village...
After decades, a monk Wuyan, who traveled all over the world, heard about this. In order to save the people in the village, he passed away voluntarily and left a last word for his disciples to make his body into a pot of flesh-body Buddha and buried it under a locust tree to suppress evil spirits.
It is strange that since the moment the Buddha was buried in the village in the pot, there has never been any strange incidents of men committing themselves in Yinren Village.
Men can harm themselves. These five words instantly remind me of what happened to me and He Yongfu last night.
Old Master Bai sighed and lowered his head and said, "But in the past two years, the incident of self-harm among villagers has begun to happen again. Last year, it was one person, but this year it has become three people!"
This story is not very scary, and it even has a little bit of a fairy tale. I always feel something is wrong.
Suddenly I saw Boss Bai and asked with a flash of inspiration: "Old Master Bai, if as you said, all the girls born in the village since the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty were from the village.
Boss Bai was born in this village, right?”
Old Master Bai looked at Boss Bai, and his eyes flashed with infinite love: "Xiaobai was adopted by me from a distant relative, and even I was adopted by me, for the sake of the successor of the Bai family..."
Listening to the full story, I concluded that the snake spirit was the one who caused it.
But strangely, Old Master Bai said a snake spirit, but we encountered three. There must be some hidden truth in it!
I had a strong premonition that only by revealing these truths can I find the Buddha in the pot.
Just when I was confused, Wang Xun'er brought He Yongfu, the village chief and his wife to the Bai family together.
When I saw Wang Xun'er, I suddenly remembered an important clue.
She once said that according to the information she received, the body Buddha in the tank was buried under an old locust tree at the entrance of the village. Old Master Bai also confirmed this just now.
However, we have never seen that locust tree since we entered the village.
"Old man, where is the locust tree in the story now?"
I'm not used to this inferior way of speaking, but there is no way. Who told Mr. Bai to just use this trick?
Old Master Bai shook his head: "I have heard of such a locust tree since I was a child, but I have never seen it."
After hearing this, I looked at Wang Xun'er and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and the only clue broke again...
After leaving Mr. Bai's house, Xun'er, Li Mazi, and Boss Bai went up the mountain directly.
Wherever there is a yin object, a yin spirit will appear.
The three snake spirits disappeared on this mountain last night. The intuition told me that the snake spirit and the flesh-body Buddha in the tank should be together.
Along the path, we quickly found the huge white quartz stone. I pointed at the stone and asked Boss Bai, why do the villagers worship this thing?
Boss Bai told me that he didn't understand the specific reason, but from the older generation, whoever has a serious illness or minor disaster or has a bad family will come to this stone to worship. As for whether it is effective, no one can say it correctly.
Li Mazi was impatient. When he saw me staring at the stone, he kept looking at it, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "I said to Zhang family, why are you still staring at this broken stone? My brother and sister have no news yet, so don't you be in a hurry? Hurry up and find the snake spirit."
I pretended not to hear it, turned around, pointed to the sapling I had discovered before and asked, "Boss Bai, do you know what kind of sapling tree this is?"
Boss Bai stepped forward and observed it carefully, nodded with certainty and said, "This is a locust tree."
Without saying a word, I pulled out the two swords of ghosts and gods, cut through my arm, and slashed the big stone with a blood-stained blade.
Now I can be sure that this is not a stone, but a locust tree stump wrapped in powerful yin energy!
The annual rings on the surface of the locust tree stump are vaguely visible. The entire tree stump is as thick as two or three adults, and is buried deep into the ground. Because the entire locust tree stump looks like it is albinism, and has been smoked by incense all year round, I mistakenly think it is a stone.
Last night, my mind was affected and I almost jumped off the cliff and committed suicide, thanks to this locust tree stump.
My guess was obviously correct. When the sword energy of the two swords of the ghosts and gods was hit, a painful wailing sound came from the locust tree stump.
The shrill ghost screams resounded throughout the sky, as if they were about to shake people's eardrums.
I used my double knife to chop it. The place where the locust tree stump was cut by the double knife, viscous blood flowed out.
The whimpering cry poured out from the cracks that were cut open, making people feel extremely desperate. Every crying sound was like a silver needle, poking people with severe heart pain!
Boss Bai is the least resistant among us. As soon as he cried, he covered his heart with a pale face.
After a while, he couldn't stand it anymore and let out a mouthful of red blood.
Wang Xun'er and Li Mazi were also very annoyed by the crying. Especially Li Mazi, as if she was strangled by someone's throat, her face turned red, and her hands were waving like a drowning person.
At this time, dense sounds of footsteps came from the foot of the mountain.
"What are you doing?" A shout interrupted my movement.
I put away the swords of ghosts and gods, and subconsciously looked down at the mountain. The scene in front of me made me, who were used to the big scenes, feel a little scared.
I saw a group of black farmers holding hoes, sickles, and axes, that is, the villagers of Yinren Village, surrounded us from all directions, and shouting at us was the village chief.
The villagers all raised their weapons with bad expressions and stared at us with red eyes.
