The hero always wants to suck my spiritual power

Chapter 265 Story
"Auntie, what's the story of this dead tree? Can you tell me about it?"

"You, I told you not to be afraid at night."

"I'm not afraid. I'm very brave."

Bai Xiao patted her small chest. After Yan Fang sent Yan Sushang back to the ward, he took the child home without stopping at all.

On the way, Bai Xiao started talking about the Dead Man Tree again. She knew little about the Dead Man Tree, so she wanted to know more.

Yan Fang poked Bai Xiao's forehead angrily: "You kid is so bold. Then I tell you, if you are scared at night, just come to your aunt."

"Hmm."

Bai Ruilin was speechless as he listened. His little cousin was afraid, and no one was bolder than her.

Yan Fang looked at Bai Xiao and said: "You have never been back to your hometown. You may not know that there is a pond in Shangcun. There is a century-old banyan tree in the pond. In the past, people lived near this big banyan tree.

Everyone liked it very much, but one night, for some reason, three young and beautiful women hanged themselves. This pond is not big, but it is not small.

No one knows how they got there. The clothes on their bodies were not wet at all and the shoes on their feet were clean. When people found them the next day, they had already passed away.
Later, that night, three more women hung themselves on the tree, in exactly the same posture, but on different branches. They hung higher and higher, and slowly,

People were hung on all the branches of the tree. From then on, the big tree began to lose its leaves crazily, and no new buds or leaves grew again. "

Yan Fang spoke in a normal voice, but Bai Ruilin felt a chill running down his spine. Bai Xiao asked enthusiastically, "What happened next? Auntie, what happened next?"

"Later, people began to spread the news that these women who had hanged themselves behaved inappropriately, and the words they spoke about became more and more ugly. The place became more and more unknown. Everyone was very taboo about the death of people, so they gradually stopped taking that route. Everyone in the neighborhood has also moved away.”

"Ah, why are you talking about them? Couldn't it be that you were bullied or something happened?"

Bai Xiao was a little angry at this unexplained accusation. Yan Fang touched her head and said, "No one knows this. No one even knows where these women come from. Everyone can only go to the most filthy place." Guess the place.”

"They are so pitiful."

Yan Fang did not express an opinion, but gently touched Bai Xiao's head and continued.

"Later, one night, a drunken man passed by this pond in order to take a shortcut. He suddenly saw many beautiful women waving to him. He walked over drunkenly, and was discovered the next day. , he fell in the pond and died."

Hearing this, Bai Xiao couldn't help but frown, and Bai Ruilin asked curiously: "How can he know that it was someone waving to him and not him who stumbled when he's already dead?"

Yan Fang glanced at her son and said, "I know there was a woman waving to him because someone else passed by and saw him later. But this man's family has a Taoist priest who wears an amulet all year round.
He woke up the moment he hit the water. He saw the shadows of trees in the water and the big tree full of people. He rolled and climbed back home. He warned everyone not to take that road. , then he became a monk and practiced Taoism. "

"But why is it called the Dead Man's Tree?"

Bai Xiao asked curiously, and Yan Fang slowly explained: "That's because this big tree is stained with the resentment of the dead.

Being riddled with resentment and becoming the carrier of resentful spirits, it is called the dead tree, Xiaoxiao,

This dead man tree will cause trouble if you encounter it. You must not approach it. Do you understand? "She told Bai Xiao so much that she didn't want her to get close, but she felt that she was thinking too much. This Xiaoxiao is just a child. Can she understand this?

"Yeah, Xiaoxiao understands. Thank you, auntie, for the story. It sounds great. Do you have any more?"

Yan Fang looked helplessly at the smiling Bai Xiao. It turned out that the little guy regarded this as a bedtime story, but this made her start talking.

"This story was also told to me by the elders in my family. My home is a bit far away. I have never been to that place, but one of your uncle's classmates has been."

"and after?"

"I heard that ever since I passed that pond, I started to have a high fever.

His family came to the witch and said they were summoning spirits, but the witch said that too many people had died on the big tree and the tree spirit could no longer control it, so she asked everyone to find a way to chop down the tree. "

Hearing this, Bai Xiao had a bad intuition, but unexpectedly Yan Fang said: "Who would have thought that a huge thunder in the middle of the night would
It was chopped down, and more than half of the century-old tree was burned, leaving only one section that fell into the pond.

Since then, the road has been normal and nothing has happened since. "

"Mom, are you talking about the pond past my cousin's house?"

Hearing this, Bai Ruilin finally realized that he was talking about that place. It turned out to be that place.
No wonder every time he wanted to go to his cousin's house, everyone asked him to take a long detour and go from the main road instead of taking the small road. It turned out that they were afraid that he would pass by the pond.

"No, your third aunt came here once before, and she went home and was ill for more than half a month. It's better to believe these things than to believe them. We still have to be respectful when dealing with the unknown."

The main reason is that there are too many strange things happening on this road, whether it is frequent accidents or being burned by a huge thunder, it is very scary.

However, Bai Xiao didn't think so. It was impossible for a huge thunder to strike a big tree for no reason, or even set down a fire, unless the dead tree that the eldest aunt mentioned was going through a disaster.

But that doesn't make sense. There are so many evil ghosts. Even if one evil ghost absorbs the resentment of other evil ghosts and turns into evil spirits, he would not dare to kill people so blatantly and let others find out. Then be afraid of him and stay away from him.

In the end, it may be that this dead tree is not a dead tree in the conventional sense. Therefore, it is not a living creature. Those are just resentful spirits living in the tree, and the giant thunder should have been caused by people.

I just don’t know who did it. If it was really a thunder from the sky, then nothing should be left. Moreover, it can attract thunder from the sky, which means that the human life in the hands of the dead tree has attracted the attention of heaven. That is not the case. One or two people, or dozens of people can do it.

However, fortunately it was not these ignorant people who cut it off themselves, otherwise it would cause the resentful spirits to counterattack, which would not be a trivial matter. The whole village might be wiped out at any time.

"Auntie, are there still big trees in that pond now?"

Yan Fang didn't know why Bai Xiao was interested in this, but just said truthfully: "It's still there. No one dares to move it. The trunk of the tree that fell in the water is still there."

Bai Xiao was silent thoughtfully, wondering if he should find a chance to take a look later.
