Xu Ji restrained his magic power and his eyes gradually returned to normal.
All the visions seen by the eyes began to disappear.
The ghost tree is still the same ghost tree, standing in the canyon.
The green crown of the tree stands tall and graceful.
There are countless leaves, smooth and lustrous, and from a distance it looks like a tree entangled by a titanic snake.
Only Xu Ji knows the truth about this ghost tree.
It's very abnormal.
Especially where it appears is Blue Star!
Picking up the phone, Xu Ji looked at the information Guiling had sent again.
I re-read the pictures one by one, the videos one by one, and carefully.
Especially those photos and videos taken by the Siamese back then.
The corpse of a monster like a giant snake was paralyzed in the canyon.
Slowly, bit by bit 'rotted'.
Become mycelium, become spores, become mushrooms.
One after another, Xu Ji looked at them repeatedly, carefully reviewing the videos.
Then combine it with what you just saw with your Dharma Eye.
Xu Ji's expression gradually became serious.
Especially when he saw what seemed to be a local news report archive, Xu Ji enlarged the previously ignored report and read it word for word.
After thinking for a while, Xu Ji turned to look at the staff beside him and asked, "Excuse me, is there anyone who understands Khmer?"
He saw this report and had it translated.
But it also comes with the original newspaper!
In Xu Ji's eyes, Khmer writing is just like the Book of Heaven.
Those symbols are like tadpoles, completely incomprehensible!
Beside him, the young employee acting as a tour guide immediately raised his hand: "Mr. Xu, I understand! I understand!"
In order to show his professionalism, he also emphasized: "My university majors in Khmer in the Department of International Foreign Languages!"
“After working, I also studied for a master’s degree in Khmer language and Khmer culture from Imperial College of Foreign Languages!”
Xu Ji blinked, then smiled, and handed the phone to him: "Please help me read this Khmer news report...and explain it..."
The other party took the phone, his face turned rosy, he seemed very excited, and even his hands seemed to be shaking slightly from excitement.
Xu Ji doesn’t quite understand why?
The other party took a deep breath first, and then looked at the news pictures on his phone carefully.
After a while, he said: "This report is about a strange custom that appeared among the people in the Triangle Valley area in 2002 AD..."
“Many people choose to take their parents or relatives’ coffins and bodies to a place called ‘Holy Snake Valley’ for cremation after their parents or relatives die!”
"The locals believe that by doing this, the souls of their loved ones can ascend to the Western Paradise and become Buddhas!"
"Because there are so many people who believe in it, more and more people are going to the Holy Snake Valley to cremate their loved ones!"
"It even happened that local warlords took control of the Holy Snake Valley and charged people who came to cremate their relatives!"
Xu Ji's brows gradually wrinkled as he listened.
Guiling translated the text, which is a very short summary description.
There is no 'Holy Snake Valley', nor is there any 'local legend'. It just says that a new strange custom has emerged in the Triangle Valley area. Many people choose to take the remains of their relatives to a canyon for cremation.
But what is the reason behind it? What cultural background there is, they are not mentioned at all.
That is to say, the Public Security Bureau has great powers and retrieved this old news with the keyword "Triangle Valley" from a large number of documents through big data.
Then during the manual review process, maybe because the reviewer didn't understand Khmer, he used a machine translation or something to briefly summarize it.
Xu Ji also missed this information.
Until now, after he saw the 'Naga Ghost Tree' with his own eyes, he realized that something was not right. He went through the files again and found this old news that was easily ignored, but in fact it may contain key information.
Because, not long after this old news.
The mushrooms and hyphae in the canyon beneath me slowly disappeared.
According to Siamese photos, as early as 2004, a Siam Airways plane flew over the canyon and discovered this 'Naga Ghost Tree'.
At that time, it had grown to at least six meters high!
And the canopy is huge!
So much so that the pilot in the air discovered at a glance that something was going on in his own backyard.
Ghost tree!
This kind of regional disaster occurred in the delta valley area.
From then on, the number of demons and ghosts in the area began to increase.
Whether it is Siam, Khmer, Cochin, or Bagan, the number of ghost attacks reported every year is soaring!
The Siamese Air Force once planned to organize a bombing to destroy this ghost tree.
But in the end it was settled.
The reasons include fear of exacerbating territorial disputes in the region and leading to war, as well as interference from external forces.
Intelligence shows that some foreign powers have clearly expressed to Siam their decision not to support the bombing.
The Siamese Air Force was even warned: Do not do anything that may intensify the situation in the region!
Otherwise, we will cut off military aid!
Sanctions are even considered!
Later, both the Siamese and the Khmers, and the Bagan people began to oppose the bombing of the "Naga Ghost Tree".
An explanation is given in Guiling's information.
The efficacy of the spiritual herbs and divine herbs that accompany demons and ghosts is gradually being discovered by people.
The rise of the demon economy!
The price of a C-grade spiritual grass on the black market quickly rose to ten thousand dollars!
Now, it has climbed to more than 50,000 knives!
The top-notch spiritual grass accompanying S-class demons and ghosts may even exceed 100 million swords!
However, for a small country like Khmer, the combined annual GDP is less than 50 billion.
This is the total wealth created by the hard work of more than 16 million Khmer people day and night.
And a spiritual grass can be sold for at least 50,000 knives.
The most expensive one is over 100 million dollars!
In the face of such huge interests, Xu Ji knew what would happen.
In most third world countries, countless people are struggling below the poverty line.
Hunger, bacteria, viruses, demons and wars are constantly taking away their lives.
In a precarious situation, human life is very cheap!
In the Central Plains of the old society, wasn’t there frequent dramas of pawning off one’s wife and selling off one’s children, and selling one’s body to bury one’s father?
In a country like the Khmer Kingdom, the per capita annual income is less than 2,000 dollars and the monthly income is less than 150 dollars.
Fifty thousand dollars is an astronomical sum!
so……
It is only natural to give up part of one's life for money.
And once something like this starts, it can't be stopped!
Just like resource countries, if they sell oil and minerals, they can live a prosperous life.
Why bother working so hard in industry and industry?
Very hard work!
Anyone who has worked in a factory will know that even workers in so-called high-tech automated factories will tell their children: If you don’t study hard, you will be like me in the future!
Xu Ji understands this very well.
When he was a child, he was often beaten like this by his parents.
The thoughts in my mind are turning.
Xu Ji had already made his decision and asked: "Can you lower the height?"
