"They are all hearsay. Miss Green Sleeves, there is no need to scare yourself. Besides, you are in the Bai family, and everyone knows that it is a famous family of exorcists. How could any evil spirit dare to attack you without fear of death?" Shen Luo comforted.
“That’s true, haha… Anyway, as long as it’s not a monster, any ordinary monster or ghost can be destroyed by any one of the family head and elders.” The little girl laughed to herself when she heard it.
Shen Luo frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked tentatively: "Miss Green Sleeve, do you know about the exorcism of the Bai family back then?"
"That happened more than a hundred years ago. Apart from the elders in the mansion, only the elderly people know the inside story. Naturally, I don't know anything about it. However, I have heard some rumors about exorcism recently. I don't know how much of them are true and how much are false." Green Sleeves frowned and thought for a while before changing the subject.
"I have nothing to do, why don't you tell me?" Shen Luo said with a curious look.
"Okay, then I'll tell you. Outside Jianye City, near Ziyun Mountain, there is a place called Taoyuan Village..." Luxiu seemed to have been opened up and began to narrate.
It turns out that in this place called Taoyuan Village, there has been a huge peach tree since ancient times. The people in the village have multiplied from generation to generation, but they don’t know when the ancient tree originated. They only know that it is at least a thousand years old.
Legend has it that this ancient peach tree blooms every year but has never borne fruit for hundreds of years. Although the villagers are puzzled, they regard the ancient tree as a good omen and take good care of it.
But then one year, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, a strange wind suddenly came down from the sky, wrapped in thick black smoke and surrounded the peach trees, making it impossible for the villagers to get close. The branches and leaves of the peach trees also quickly withered and fell down one after another.
The village chief at that time was a man named Qin Shouan. In order to protect the peach trees, he lit a torch and carried a hatchet, trying to drive away the evil wind. However, not only did he fail, he also died in the disaster.
Afterwards, the evil wind became more rampant. It not only controlled Qin Shouan, but also controlled many mountain cats and wild boars, ordering them to attack the villagers.
The villagers were miserable, so they collected money to invite outside Taoist priests to exorcise the demon. However, three or four Taoist priests went there, but they were all in vain and none of them came back.
Finally, in order to save her father, the daughter of the village chief went through many hardships to come to Jianye City for help. Finally, on the way, she happened to meet a hero who was in the fasting period. Moved by the girl's filial piety, she followed him to Taoyuan Village to subdue the demon. However, she found that the evil wind seemed to be a monster with a high level of cultivation. The village chief Qin Shouan and many living creatures in the mountains had been transformed into demons by it and became extremely bloodthirsty and cruel.
The hero soon got into a tough fight and finally saved the entire village, but he disappeared.
"What about the evil wind? Has it been killed?" Shen Luo asked after listening.
"It's not mentioned in the rumors, but since there has been no demonic trouble in Taoyuan Village since then, I think he must have been killed." Green Sleeves thought for a moment and said.
Shen Luo pondered inwardly, but vaguely felt that the "evil wind" was most likely not actually killed. However, the specific situation was probably only known by that "hero".
After Luxiu finished speaking, she chatted with Shen Luo about some other rumors and anecdotes.
