Volume 1 Huangquan December, Chapter 28: This hatred lasts forever
"Why, during the Dragon Boat Festival when the yang energy is so strong?"
After running for a while, the two stopped to catch their breath. Dai Luan coughed twice and asked this question.
"Could it be that the lies they told angered the female ghost?" Mu Wan also adjusted her breathing, "Besides, she is afraid that she wants Bai Gu to be extinct, so she won't allow them to move out."
"So, she is a kind of earth-bound spirit? Once she leaves the scope of her death, she cannot be controlled, right?"
Dai Luan suddenly said this, and she seemed to remember something. Mu Wan nodded slightly, pulled her, and started to hurry up again.
"Wait, I know! A way to save Shanhai!"
"What?"
"I figured it out, the branch actually doesn't refer to the position of the reverse pillar, but the root of the branch!"
"Gen?" Mu Wan didn't quite understand.
"The tree that Miss Songyun hit and died in the courtyard is the real body of Nizhu, that is, the human-faced tree. Do you still remember the boy named Zhuzhu in Huansha City? That karma ghost was shut out even though
, but because part of his demonic energy was in him, he entered the house. I think the same is true for the human-faced tree. And the direction of the roots of the branches is where the tree originally grew."
Mu Wan clapped his hands: "If you find it, you can control the evil ghost. And the yard has shrunk due to competition for land. In other words, among the tree stumps on the street, one of them is from that year. This is too
More?"
"I know which one it is."
Shanhai unsheathed the peach wood sword. The wooden sword, which had been soaked in calamus water overnight, was no longer afraid of the power of the demonic fire. He waved the sword and easily cut off the flames, but could not eliminate them from the source. The other three people
, huddled together like mice, crying, which makes people upset when they hear it.
"Miss Songyun! If you have any resentment, just say it! If the lies they made up have offended you, then please tell me the truth yourself!"
Shan Hai's right hand clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, and his left hand raised two fingers to press against the sword. Through the horizontal mahogany sword, less than a foot away, he could feel an invisible wave of air, which was coming down one after another.
There was a beating outside the door. When he said this, he had no confidence in his heart. After all, if she really turned into a ghost, then she would not have a normal human mind and would only think about revenge.
At this moment, the force turned into someone's knocking on the door again, very fast and loud, as if urging him to hand over the person.
"Finally, I want to ask you." Shanhai turned around, "Who can tell the truth?"
Baigu's wife tried her best to get into her husband's arms, but he once again pushed her away. His face still had the characteristic dullness and his movements were very stiff. He pointed at Baigu's wife and said:
"It's her! It was all her idea!"
"Me? You blame me?" Baigu's wife's sharp voice was very harsh. "You blame me now. Didn't you support it at the beginning? It was your own mother who cleaned up the mess for you!"
As soon as these words came out, the old lady felt as if she had been stabbed by a needle. She slapped her daughter-in-law in the face and cursed:
"Bah! How shameless! You still dare to call me mom. Without me, you would still be living in poverty!"
"That's better than dying here!"
At this time, they actually started to quarrel, and Shan Hai frowned. Although this sword could ward off evil spirits, it was not necessarily powerful enough to kill ghosts. As a last resort, he might have to resort to self-destruction to suppress it.
it.
When he focused on the door again, he found that the talisman that blocked the door was glowing dimly along the cracks in the door, as if something had burned them off. Shan Hai thought to himself, "Oh no!"
, and then was thrown into the sea of fire by the strong wind that broke through the door.
The burning and pain that should have been felt did not come.
Shan Hai opened his eyes, and at some point, he found himself in another scene. He tried to lift the sword in his right hand, but found that he couldn't move it. It was just like a ghost holding down a bed. He couldn't even control the rhythm of his blinking.
.
At first he was a little panicked about losing control of his body, but he quickly calmed down. Because Shanhai discovered that the scene in front of him seemed to be the Baigu family courtyard in daytime.
At that time, their house was still very spacious, unlike now, where it always feels very cramped.
He saw many servants working in the courtyard and many new faces. Everyone who saw him greeted him.
"Good morning, madam."
Shan Hai understood. What he saw now was exactly what Miss Songyun saw.
Perhaps, this is what the ghost wanted to tell him.
This day passed very normally. There were many servants in the courtyard, but she and the old lady were the only real Bai Gu family members. The servants were busy with arrangements, and Shanhai could see through these eyes,
There are mugwort leaves and calamus hanging everywhere in the courtyard. It seems that today is also the Dragon Boat Festival.
Miss Songyun spent a normal morning walking in the yard, looking at the flowers, and chatting with the little maids.
At that time, the old lady didn't seem to be as old as she is now - but it was only a few years ago, and her hair was now much grayer. When she saw her, her expression was cold. Miss Songyun came into the room and gave her
After saying hello, she didn't say anything. After a while, the young Bai Gu's wife also came in. She was not much different at that time than she is now.
When the old lady saw her, she suddenly laughed. The two exchanged greetings and chatted about home affairs. Standing beside Shanhai, she vaguely felt that the owner of this body sighed. Then she bowed and left the old lady's house.
.
After the meal, Miss Songyun stayed alone in the room. She read a book with the sunlight streaming in from the window. The book seemed to be meaningless, and he could not read the words clearly. Perhaps the owner of the book was not in the mood to read.
it.
At this time, the young and beautiful Bai Gu's wife knocked on the door and came in.
With a smile, she held a plate of cakes and said that the old lady had given them to her. She also brought tea and said that she wanted to have a good chat with her sister.
"What's there to talk about? What a boring person I am. You are wasting time here." Miss Songyun said.
"Why do you say that, sister?" She opened her eyes wide, "You and I are all a family, why should we be so secluded from outsiders?"
"A family," Miss Songyun murmured, "A family has never been reunited."
"Sister, are you talking about the young master?" She blinked, "In order to make more money to support this big family, the young master will naturally have to work twice as hard to support the family. Well, just like this plate of mung bean cake, if it weren't for him
We are still busy outside during the Dragon Boat Festival, so we may not be able to eat it yet. Sister, please try one."
Shan Hai felt that the owner of these eyes had been wandering between Mung Bean Cake and Bai Gu's wife many times, as if she had doubts. There was also a voice in her heart telling her, how could the concubine who usually ignored him become like this today?
Are you talkative now? Bai Gu’s wife poured two cups of tea and held one of them in front of her. Seeing that she didn’t eat the cake, she said jokingly:
"Is sister afraid that I will poison it?"
""
The green snacks were indeed exquisitely made. And because of what happened in the morning, Miss Songyun was in a bad mood and didn't eat a few bites of lunch. Now she really felt a little hungry. In order to dispel her suspicion, Bai Gu's wife held up
A mung bean cake and said to her:
"Then sister, I will be rude and test a poison for you."
Miss Songyun watched her chew it and swallow it carefully. Then she slowly picked up a bean cake next to it and put it in her mouth. The bean paste was very thin and moderately sweet. It was indeed a dessert made with expensive craftsmanship. She
Swallowing a little urgently, he took another big sip of tea to wash it down, and Baigu's wife quickly continued.
As a result, Miss Songyun seemed to be less vigilant, slowly put down her doubts, and chatted word by word with the young Bai Gu's wife.
After chatting for a while, she felt a little burning in her stomach, wondering if she had eaten enough. She lightly hammered her chest, and the fire-like burning sensation became more obvious. After a while, a sharp pain came up from her stomach.
She felt a little nauseous, so she picked up a handkerchief to cover her mouth, and suddenly coughed up something. She looked at the handkerchief and saw a pool of bright red blood on it.
"You" she stretched out her hand tremblingly, pointing to the person opposite. Baigu's wife suddenly stood up and took a step back.
Miss Songyun felt that all her strength had been taken away from her. She fell off the chair and crawled towards Baigu's wife. Baigu's wife backed away and hid at the door, mocking condescendingly:
"Of course this snack is extremely expensive. I can't learn it, let alone poison it. But when have you ever seen me take that sip of tea?"
"Bitch!"
Girl Songyun screamed and tightened the hem of her clothes. She stamped on her face several times and kicked her away. She ran out of the door, and Girl Songyun chased after her with difficulty. She crawled very hard.
, focusing all his strength on his arms. There was still a burning pain in his stomach, and Shan Hai clearly felt the same pain.
At the same time, there was still resentment and curses coming to her lips. However, her vision gradually became blurred, and she could hardly crawl anymore.
Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and even though she fought very hard, she slowly closed her eyes.
In a daze, she heard the young master's voice.
"Is this what you have done?"
"Nonsense, what are you talking about? Can you come back later? Why did you come back so early? Forget it, come and help me drag her out."
"What did our mother say?"
"Slowly, are you still a man? I have already said hello to my mother. Anyway, she is your eldest brother's wife, and she has never liked her before."
This living heart became dull, and it beat slower and slower. Instead, there was extreme unwillingness and hatred. The last thing Shan Hai felt was the silt-filled heart after hearing the young master's voice.
The fingertips trembled slightly and then stopped moving.
He struggled, trying to open his eyes, and found that he was back in the sea of fire. It was like a dream, but it fit seamlessly with reality.
After opening his eyes, what he saw was not only the red color that greeted his eyes, but also a charred corpse.
The body had turned into a ball of carbon and was unrecognizable, as if it had been burned for a long time. But judging from the degree of damage to the surrounding furniture and the intensity of the fire, his dream just now was only a brief one.
Taking another closer look, there was an old lady who had passed out and motionless with the charred corpse, and a young master with dull eyes who was walking like a zombie. He waved his hand in front of his eyes, but there was no response. Maybe he was frightened.
Silly.
No, four people, three people were already surrounded by raging fire. The endless wind poured in from the open door, making it burn more and more fiercely. It seemed that everyone was going to be confessed here.
