The Mo family was originally people's night watchmen and could not tolerate the evil spirits and monsters causing trouble, let alone harming people under their noses. Therefore, Gu Zheng immediately made up his mind to get to the bottom of this matter.
After further inquiry, Gu Zheng also learned some useful information: A few years ago, the son of the owner of Yang Ji's rice grain store left his hometown after his wife committed suicide and did not come back for several years. But yesterday afternoon, someone I saw this young man from the Yang family coming back from outside, dusty and dusty. Before he came back, this Yang Ji Rice and Cereals Store was the same as anywhere else. Until this man came back, the place changed overnight.
From this rumor, Gu Zheng heard a very useful information, that is, the blooming of peach blossoms may be related to the young master of the Yang family. Gu Zheng found out his name, he was Yang Tianji, and he was only in his early thirties. .
Many people just lingered in front of the Miliang store for a while, and after looking at the strange scene, they left. Gu Zheng took a moment, entered the Miliang store, and carefully observed the layout of the Miliang store. Come.
There is nothing wrong with this rice and cereal store. It is surrounded by shelves with rice and cereals. The floor is also raised with wooden boards, with bags of cereals placed on them. There is also a lot of space for other miscellaneous cereals on the counter. It was very big. After the rice and grain store, it was where the owner lived.
After discovering that such a strange thing happened in front of his house, the owner of the rice and grain store originally wanted to close the store for two days to find out what happened. But he was afraid that others would gossip, so he finally opened the store. After opening the store for a long time, nothing happened. There are customers coming in, but there are a lot of people around the door admiring the winter peach blossoms. The boss wants to come out and chase them away, but they are all fellow villagers and neighbors, so this kind of thing cannot be done. They are all his old customers. , if he offends these gods, it will be difficult for him to do business in the future.
When a customer came in, the owner of the rice and grain store immediately greeted him. The boss looked about sixty years old, short in stature, and looked like an ordinary old man. Gu Zheng quickly glanced at the shop and asked the boss what kind of rice he had. Price.
Seeing that the young man didn't seem to be here to see something special, the boss very pleasantly introduced the prices and tastes of several kinds of rice, and also recommended one or two brands that he thought were good to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng followed the boss's recommendation and picked a bag of rice. The standard of this rice was fifty kilograms per bag, which was only enough for Gu Zheng to eat for about ten days. However, Gu Zheng did not enter this rice and grain store just to buy it. Comes from rice.
"Boss, the two peach trees in front of your store, how old they are, are actually blooming out of season. Except for seeing it once in Lijiang, Yunnan two years ago, I have never seen this anywhere else. The scenery." Gu Zheng asked pretending to be nonchalant. What Gu Zheng said next was pure nonsense. He had never been to Lijiang, and he just said this to reduce the boss's wariness about him.
Although his tone pretended to be very calm, when the boss heard this, his kind expression suddenly changed color. He snorted heavily. However, when Gu Zheng said that he had seen peach blossoms out of season, the boss's expression changed again. It looks a little better.
"Young man, have you ever seen this phenomenon before?" The boss hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
"That's right." Gu Zheng nodded repeatedly and said nonchalantly: "It's said that there are some stories about that tree. I don't know if it's true or not, but it's very mysterious." He took out the money and handed it to the boss. The boss gave him change.
The boss raised his brows and his eyes lit up. He didn't know whether what happened in front of the door was good or bad. If he could take something out of this young man's mouth, he would feel a little confident. Thinking of this, the boss's face was filled with confusion. With a dry smile, he said: "Young man, do you mind telling me what's going on? I'll give you a discount. You see, it makes people feel uneasy when something like this happens in front of this door."
Seeing that the boss took the bait, Gu Zheng felt a flash of pride. He didn't expect that he could deceive the boss with something he had just told about the history of Miliang Store. He connected it with some strange things he had seen before, coupled with the free play of his mind, a fictional story came out. He kept telling it all the way, which scared the rice grain store owner. I almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.
What Gu Zheng told was not entirely fictitious. After entering the rice and grain store, he found that the house was extremely evil. This evil was not due to feng shui problems. The problem was entirely due to the two peach trees at the door. These two trees The peach tree has a history of at least two to three hundred years and is extremely rare everywhere. The peach tree is a very useful magical weapon for demon hunters. Selecting high-quality peach wood to make peach wood swords and peach charms can have the effect of exorcising The role of demon-killing.
But peach wood itself is also a kind of spiritual wood, which can absorb the two qi of yin and yang and become a spirit. However, Gu Zheng also knows that for trees to become spirits, more chances and coincidences are needed, and the most rare thing among them is the human soul. So once a tree becomes a spirit, After becoming a spirit, it longs to absorb human souls and help them transform.
Therefore, Gu Zheng judged that the reason why people in the Yang family have always hung themselves on this tree for hundreds of years must have a close relationship with this tree spirit. Now that the peach blossoms are blooming in winter, it should be because the peach tree has turned into a demon.
After listening to Gu Zheng's words, the boss's face turned pale. Gu Zheng's story was originally made up based on what happened in his family. The boss knew the reliability of the story and immediately asked Gu Zheng if he could crack it. Law.
Gu Zheng nodded immediately and told the boss some methods. Of course, this was what he had seen and heard in Lijiang. He also threatened that he didn’t know whether it would be effective. However, Gu Zheng revealed intentionally or unintentionally that he belonged to Mr. Mo, a famous Feng Shui master nearby. Apprentice, Mr. Mo's reputation is famous for hundreds of miles around. When he heard that this young man with an unattractive appearance was actually Mr. Mo's apprentice, the boss couldn't help but feel awe.
Gu Zheng's words made the boss burst into tears of gratitude. The boss immediately said that he would not charge a penny for the bag of rice that Gu Zheng bought.
Gu Zheng did not refuse. When he worked for a rich man like Lin Dafa, the commission was always paid at a sky-high price. For a bag of rice, Gu Zheng asked Gu Zheng to help him once. The price was so cheap that it was unimaginable. Gu Zheng could He didn't want to make money from this place, so he just regarded it as doing good deeds. What's more, this place also has things that interest him. If Gu Zheng's judgment is not wrong, one of the two peach trees has a Has a flower soul.
