Views:

Finally, the old man from the Taiping Dao seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. He was covered with wounds, his clothes were tattered, and his hair was messy. He looked like an old beggar, extremely pitiful. He yelled at me, "You little bastard named Xiaojiu, if you don't want to die, quickly move the red bowl under the tree. There is an iron plate underneath. Open it and there is a dead baby underneath. Take it out and burn it. Otherwise, when the dead baby wakes up, none of us can leave here!"

"Go to hell with you, you remember me now. Who knows if what you said is a trap? Get out of here, I'll consider burning you when you die." I definitely can't listen to this old guy. To put it bluntly, these old guys may smoke more cigarettes than I do, and I don't know how many tricks they have in their minds. If I believe him, I will be played to death by him without knowing why. Besides, it is now obvious that the red bowl under the tree contains a more powerful one. These ordinary silver bowls have ejected a group of ghosts that are only one step away from ghosts and monsters, and at least one of them must be a ghost and monster.

"Believe me, or we will really die here." The old man was unusually anxious. He didn't look like he was acting. In fact, I felt a little bit too. I always felt that the big tree gave me a strange feeling. This feeling was hard to explain. I thought about it and yelled at the old man: "Tell me your Taipingdao plan and everything about this village, otherwise there is no deal!"

"Okay." The old man gritted his teeth and told me the story of the mangrove village while dodging the attacks of ghosts.

It turns out that this incident happened more than 300 years ago. At that time, Taiping Dao was not a cult. Well, in fact, it is not now either. It’s just that the definition is different. I won’t go into details here. At that time, Taiping Dao was not only not a cult, but also a big sect like the famous sects like Maoshan.

This Mangrove Village was quite prosperous in the past. It is said that a Taoist priest named Zhang Qizhu from the Taiping Dao passed by this Mangrove Village. When he passed by, there happened to be a monster here. It was a fish in a nearby river that had become a spirit and specialized in eating children. Zhang Qizhu stayed to help the village get rid of the monster. At that time, the chief of this Mangrove Village was surnamed Huang, and he had a daughter named Huang Mei. Huang Mei was eighteen years old at the time and was very pretty.

As the fish monster had not appeared for a long time, Zhang Qizhu had been living in the village chief's house. Eventually, he developed feelings for Huang Mei. Zhang Qizhu was an honest and simple man in his twenties, so they were a match made in heaven. After Zhang Qizhu got rid of the fish monster, he was reluctant to leave and actually settled down in this Mangrove Village. He was also quite popular. After all, there were monsters everywhere in that era, so it was a good thing to have a capable person staying in the village.

Originally, everyone was optimistic about him and Huang Mei. They were the focus of everyone's attention and were just about to get the red book. But in the end, a Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway. He was a man named Man Tianqing. This Man Tianqing was originally a playboy. He saw Huang Mei by chance one day and started to pursue her fiercely. Huang Mei was definitely unwilling, but under the offensive of money, Huang Cunzi agreed immediately.

In those days, it was not like today where you can just marry whoever you like. That was considered tantamount to being trapped in a pig cage. Marriage had to be arranged by parents and matchmakers. Zhang Qizhu also looked for Huang Mei, wanting to run away with her, but Huang Mei was unwilling. It was not because she didn't like Zhang Qizhu, but because she didn't want to make things difficult for her father. So the relationship was sealed, and Zhang Qizhu left Mangrove Village the next day. Huang Mei and Man Tianqing got married soon, and Zhang Qizhu, the Taoist priest of the Taiping Dao, slowly disappeared from everyone's memory.

After returning to the Taiping Dao headquarters, Zhang Qizhu drank all day to drown his sorrows, and his whole personality changed drastically. He used to be gentle and elegant, but now he would beat people if he disagreed with them. In today's words, he was very obscene and violent. Later, while reading a book, he accidentally saw the Yinshu Soul-Greaver formation, which was said to be able to make people never reincarnate. Zhang Qizhu thought of his experience in Mangrove Village and thought about how he had killed the fish spirit and saved them. In the end, no one stood up to speak about what happened between him and Huang Mei. Thinking that Huang Mei would not go with him in the end, he hated her more and more. Finally, he made a decision that no one in Mangrove Village would be reincarnated.

It is easier said than done. First of all, the Yin Tree Soul-Catching requires a yellow horn tree, and it takes two people to hug it. I have to say that Zhang Qizhu is a patient man. He asked someone to find an excuse to plant a yellow horn tree in the middle of the mangrove village, and watered it with blood every night. He persisted in this way for more than 20 years. When I heard the old man from Taipingdao say this, I couldn't help but admire this guy named Zhang Qizhu. Now, let's get back to the topic.

Twenty years later, the yellow horn tree finally took shape. That night was the bloodiest night in the history of Mangrove Village. Twenty years had passed. Although the yellow horn tree did not form the Yin Tree Soul-Snatching Formation, it had become an ominous thing after being watered every day. Therefore, the formerly prosperous Mangrove Village became sparsely populated. At that time, there were only more than 30 people in the village. The others had moved to Wujiang Town. Fortunately, Zhang Qizhu's target of revenge was still there. Man Tianqing and Huang Mei and their sons and grandsons were all still there.

Actually Man Tianqing was not a bad person. He had not been a playboy after marrying Huang Mei, but lived a peaceful life with Huang Mei. At twelve o'clock that night, Zhang Qizhu hung wind chimes all over the yellow horn tree, and then used evil magic to knock everyone out and lure them under the Yin tree. He then controlled everyone to slit their own throats, and then sealed everyone's souls in the silver bowl. Huang Mei's grandson, who was only two years old, was directly trained into a ghost baby and placed under the big red bowl.

According to the description of the old man from Taiping Dao, there was no ghost in the big red bowl. It was just a thing to suppress the ghost baby. In fact, there was another very scary thing about this Yin Tree that could gather souls. If these more than 30 souls still had relatives living, they would always be unlucky. The old man from Taiping Dao was also called Zhang Hongqiang, the descendant of Zhang Qizhu.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly after listening to what Zhang Hongqiang said. What the hell, such a horrible village turned out to be a love-hate relationship between two people in ancient times. If I were him, I would just take a knife and stab the guy named Man Tianqing to death. Who would be so stupid as to spend twenty years planting trees? Please share.
