Zhu Fang was disappointed. When she saw Chen Hai's weak look, she thought that there was something wrong with Chen Hai's divination and he didn't predict anything!
But now, after hearing Chen Hai's words, she began to feel happy for no reason.
"Chen Hai, have you figured out the root cause of our Xiaoyu's inability to walk?"
With an expectant look on her face, her eyes were burning and staring at Chen Hai.
In the past, Zhu Fang didn't really believe in things like divination and fortune telling. This is true.
But at this moment, when there is really no other way to think of, her hope of curing her son has always been pinned on Chen Hai's divination.
Whether it was true or false, she kept telling herself in her heart that Chen Hai would definitely be able to help her!
Even if you will be disappointed again, at least it will be better than the despair in your heart.
"Sister Fangfang, on October 16th three years ago, when Xiaoyu was eight months old, did you take him to Yangshuo in western Guangdong?"
His body was a little weak, Chen Hai leaned on the sofa, he responded calmly.
Ye Qingqing, who was accompanying him, might be worried that Chen Hai would feel uncomfortable. Her two small hands kneaded Chen Hai's arms and shoulder blades together.
Although she had not received any professional training in massage, she helped Chen Hai massage and massage, which really made Chen Hai's weak body feel a little more comfortable.
"What happened three years ago?" Zhu Fang was stunned. She frowned and thought for a moment.
But soon, she nodded and replied: "Chen Hai, a good friend of mine is from Yangshuo in western Guangdong."
"Three years ago, I accepted her invitation and took our Xiaoyu on a trip to that place."
"What impressed me most about Yangshuo was the thousand-year-old tree in Gaotian Town."
"I used to think that the saying that a single tree can make a forest is just an exaggeration. But after seeing that tree, she discovered that there are some giant trees in this world that can really make a forest by themselves.
.”
"It's just a tree crown, covering an area of more than a thousand square meters. People who haven't seen this scene can't imagine how shocking this scene is."
"When my friend took Xiaoyu and I there to play, I saw many people praying devoutly, worshiping and making wishes under that ancient tree."
"At that time, I had an idea and tried to imitate him. I asked that ancient tree to bless my little Yu so that he could speak as soon as possible and learn to call mommy as soon as possible."
"Don't tell me, that ancient tree is really efficacious. In less than a week after returning from Yangshuo, Xiaoyu actually knew how to call mother..."
After recalling the past, Zhu Fang recounted in front of Chen Hai some of the general things she experienced during her trip to Yangshuo three years ago.
After listening to Zhu Fang's words, Chen Hai looked strange and sighed.
"Sister Fangfang, generally speaking, these very efficacious trees are popular and believed by many people. They are no longer big trees in the ordinary sense."
"Born from the faith of all living beings, they may have transformed into tree spirits."
"After coming back from Yangshuo, you must have never been there again."
"You made a wish to that thousand-year-old tree spirit, and they have helped you fulfill your wish, but you don't go back to fulfill your wish?"
"Tell me, does that thousand-year-old tree spirit hold grudges against you, mother and son, and impose some punishment on Xiaoyu?"
…
With a forced smile, Chen Hai explained to Zhu Fang.
The so-called ignorant people are fearless.
At that time, Zhu Fang probably didn't believe in these things at all. When she made a wish in front of the thousand-year-old tree spirit, she just followed the herd mentality and had a bit of fun.
Even after coming back from there, within a few days, her son Xiaoyu really knew how to speak and call his mother, she would only think that Xiaoyu was wise and learned to speak on his own.
She didn't give this credit to the thousand-year-old tree spirit at all.
Under such a situation, Zhu Fang had offended the thousand-year-old tree spirit without knowing it.
If Chen Hai hadn't spoken and proactively reminded her, she probably wouldn't have thought that her son's inability to walk would have something to do with her trip to Yangshuo.
After all, in her opinion, she just took her son Xiaoyu to play in her friend's hometown. During this period, she did not encounter any strange and suspicious incidents.
"This man! You should still maintain some necessary awe for some unknown existences that you don't understand at all, and it's better to be better..."
Looking at Zhu Fang who was at a loss in front of him, Chen Hai sighed secretly and sighed.
Zhu Fang, who was on the side, heard Chen Hai's explanation and learned that her son couldn't walk, which was probably caused by her own improper handling of certain things.
She felt guilty and panicked for a while.
When she regained her composure, she was confused and tentatively asked Chen Hai: "Chen Hai, I am not the only one who made a wish under that thousand-year-old tree."
"If that ancient tree is so efficacious, why don't you blame others? But why should it target our Xiaoyu?"
Hearing the question raised by Zhu Fang, Chen Hai chuckled: "Sister Fangfang, you also know that there are many people who have made wishes to the thousand-year-old tree spirit. So tell me, it has the leisure to satisfy everyone.
wish?"
"Besides, the wishes made by some people are simply unrealistic. If they ask tree spirits to bless them with promotion, wealth, and longevity, even if the tree spirits want to fulfill their wishes, they have no ability to fulfill them."
"So, when it comes to making wishes, the tree spirit will do its best to select one or two lucky people from among the people who made wishes to satisfy their injustice."
"There is never a free lunch in the world. Since you have paid for it, you naturally need to get something in return."
"In full view of the public, you fulfilled your wish in the past. This will help spread its reputation and spread its faith."
"For spirits like this, who were born from the faith of all living beings, what they value is not actual objects such as offerings, but faith and the will of all living beings..."
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Chen Hai explained to Zhu Fang with a smile.
Just a burst of power caused Xiaoyu to stumble as soon as he walked.
The reason for this may have something to do with Xiaoyu being too young and having a weak soul.
However, being able to do this already shows how powerful the thousand-year-old tree spirit is.
It was precisely because of this reason that Chen Hai became so cautious yesterday after he really noticed that there was something wrapped around Xiao Hai's feet.
Perhaps, when Xiaoyu tripped, it was possible that the unknown force confused his senses and gave him the feeling of being tripped before he actually fell to the ground.
But in Chen Hai's view, if the tree spirit can interfere with reality to this extent, then even if its strength cannot truly achieve the essence of soul interference, it is not much different.
However, after knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Chen Hai felt a lot more relaxed.
This kind of existence born from faith is indeed very strong if we say it is strong, and it is indeed very weak if we say it is weak.
Before becoming a spirit, the thousand-year-old tree over there in Yangshuo was where the true form of the tree spirit resided.
When it truly becomes a spirit, it enters the real world, and the thousand-year-old tree is nothing but its remains.
In order for the spirit of the true world to project its power into the material world, certain conditions need to be met.
Zhu Fang made a wish under a thousand-year-old tree, and the tree spirit helped her fulfill her wish, but she did not fulfill her wish.
The tree spirit and Zhu Fang's son Xiaoyu, who were originally walking on two parallel lines, became connected and intertwined, and special conditions were reached so that the power descended by the tree spirit could successfully fall on Xiaoyu.
If you want to deal with this kind of spirit, the simplest and crudest way is to cut off its connection with the material world and cut off all its beliefs. It will naturally become a rootless duck.
Perhaps, it won't take long before its strength is greatly reduced and it falls into a deep sleep until it dies completely.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Hai did not suggest Zhu Fang to do this.
After all, the existence of this thousand-year-old tree seems to have become a major attraction in the local area.
Let Zhu Fang find someone to destroy this ancient tree, and then use public opinion to characterize it as an evil thing to change the impression of this ancient tree in everyone's minds.
Regardless of whether she has the ability to do all this, it is definitely very troublesome.
"Sister Fangfang, to solve Xiaoyu's situation, I think you can go directly to Yangshuo!"
"Beat the gongs and drums, make offerings of three animals and five fruits, make it lively, and fulfill your wishes sincerely under the ancient trees."
"As long as the tree spirit is satisfied, Xiaoyu's condition should return to normal."
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Hai opened his mouth and suggested to Zhu Fang.
"Is it that simple?"
"right!"
"Chen Hai, why don't you accompany me to Yangshuo in western Guangdong?" Zhu Fang asked, still a little suspicious in her heart.
"Sister Fangfang, it's just a wish. Chen Hai said it, just make it grand."
"It's such a small thing, you can just call a few people over to help."
"I'll help you with your divination. Chen Hai is already very weak. He must have a good rest during this period."
Ye Qingqing glanced at Chen Hai with a distressed expression. Out of concern for him, this time, Ye Qingqing did not ask for his opinion, but took the first step and responded for him.
It seems that in Ye Qingqing's heart, sisterhood is still inferior to her feelings for Chen Hai.
"Sister Fangfang, I really need to take a good rest these days!"
"If you are not in a hurry, after I recover in a few days, I can accompany you to Yangshuo."
"If you are really anxious, you can bring someone there by yourself. I will stay here in Haizhu City for a few days. If you need anything, you can call me directly!"
Naturally, Chen Hai would not go to trouble Ye Qingqing. Besides, he really had no interest in running around until his physical condition recovered. He just wanted to take a good rest.
After a slight hesitation, he followed Ye Qingqing and spoke.
