Li Jun raised his eyelids slightly, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked curiously: "How do tree roots eat people?"
The boy nodded: "The back garden of Zhang's Mansion is a wasteland with many ancient locust trees. You also know that locust trees dominate the house. The Zhang family's ancestors planted many of them. Now, the locust trees are old, and some came to the mansion a few days ago.
Mr. Feng Shui told my master that locust trees are the ghosts of trees and attract evil spirits. My master was afraid, so he hired workers to dig up these trees.
I never thought that when the ax was struck, the locust tree would bleed not with sap, but with blood!"
There was a look of fear in the boy's eyes. The workers forcibly cut down the locust tree and dug out the tree's roots. They found that the pit was full of bones, and tree roots were inserted into the bones. It was extremely terrifying.
Ever since these locust trees were dug up, strange things have happened in the mansion. First, the master's first wife died of madness, and then the maid fell into the pool and half of her body was eaten by fish. Also, every night, there would be sounds in the mansion.
The lady cries.
Immortal masters say that you have great magic power, and now you are the only one who can save the Zhang family."
The boy finished speaking in one breath without stopping.
He looked longingly at Li Jun.
Ancient locust tree? Roots? White bones?
Li Jun's eyelids jumped. He thought of Luo Xiaohu in the Ghost Canglin. Could it be that the Zhang Mansion incident and Luo Xiaohu incident were done by the same person?
Li Jun thought quietly. Outside the yard, the sky was getting dark and it was going to rain.
Just when the boy thought he wouldn't agree.
Li Jun walked to the courtyard, brought a thin donkey, picked up the khaki dog, and said calmly: "Let's go!"
…
Zhang Mansion.
Although it is a merchant's home, it has been passed down for hundreds of years.
The house is antique, with blue bricks and black tiles embodying a rich history, and the house is not new.
Mr. Zhang is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is quite thin and looks sickly, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. On the contrary, the lady standing next to Mr. Zhang is young and fresh.
Although his appearance is ordinary, his skin is extremely white, giving him a sense of coquettishness, which is quite touching.
"Master Immortal, please take a seat."
Mr. Zhang warmly greeted Li Jun: "Come here, serve tea and make the best Longjing tea."
Li Jun nodded lightly, without being polite, and actually sat in the top position. As soon as his butt touched the chair, he felt something was wrong, and there was a biting coldness that made people restless.
But looking at Mr. Zhang and others, I didn't feel this way.
Li Junling felt better than ordinary people. Just thinking about it, he knew that the problem was with the chair.
He calmly touched the table, but it was still bitingly cold.
But just looking at the appearance, these pieces of furniture are excellent. They are black and luxurious, unpainted but with a charming luster. They have a quaint feel. Li Jun smiled lightly: "Good furniture."
"Hahaha, the immortal master has good eyesight."
Mr. Zhang said proudly: "These furniture were all chosen by my ex-wife and made of high-quality ebony. My ex-wife is not an ordinary woman. She is knowledgeable about the past and present, and has unique taste."
Li Jun frowned.
Ebony, commonly known as dark wood among the people.
Ordinary ebony naturally does not have this uncomfortable feeling. Only aconite soaked in yin energy can have this feeling. The ancients often used it to make coffins.
Making furniture out of this wood is unlucky.
"Good taste." Li Jun nodded.
"Oh, what a pity. My ex-wife was such a good woman. She died at a young age and turned into a ghost after her death. She cried in the house every night. A Feng Shui master said before that I shouldn't dig up that ancient locust tree.
At least, you can't dig it hastily, you have to have an expert to exorcise the evil spirits.
Now, the evil spirit of the ancient locust tree has possessed my ex-wife and turned into a fierce ghost. If it is not dealt with, all the people in the house will be eaten up by it. I beg the immortal master to save me and the whole house.
Please also ask the immortal master to free my ex-wife."
After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he suddenly knelt down and kept kowtowing.
Li Jun chatted with Mr. Zhang for a few more words. It was still early, so Mr. Zhang arranged for Li Jun to have dinner, but Li Jun declined. In the name of seclusion, he avoided everyone and stayed alone in the room.
It was raining harder and harder outside, and it was freezing cold.
Li Jun was only wearing single clothes and stood quietly in front of the window.
"Gouda, He San, have you noticed anything wrong with Mr. Zhang?"
Gou Da and He looked at each other in shock.
They had specifically seen Mr. Zhang, and he was indeed a human being.
There's nothing wrong with it.
Li Jun sneered. Zhang Jia kept saying that he had a good relationship with his ex-wife, but he married a new wife just a few days after his ex-wife died. Does this mean he had a good relationship?
"Could it be that there is something wrong with the ex-wife?"
Dog Avenue: "What normal woman would get some dark wood to make furniture?"
He San also said: "I don't think there is anything wrong with Zhang Jia. Men like the new and don't hate the old. I had so many wives and concubines back then that I didn't dislike Yao Jinniang, an old woman."
He San had a wretched expression and was laughing.
Li Jun was speechless.
Not far from Li Jun's room, on the roof of the house, in the heavy rain, a thin tabby cat was lying on the ridge. In front of it was a water mirror, and Li Jun's figure was reflected in the mirror.
"Cough cough cough~"
The tabby cat looked angry and ferocious, coughing and looking at Li Jun fiercely.
When He San mentioned Yao Jinniang's name.
The tabby cat's eyes suddenly opened wide and it spat out a mouthful of blood, but its figure became a bit thinner.
Huangshan Jun murmured to himself and cried blood.
"He Bo, Yao Jinniang, whom you abandoned like a worn-out shoe, is the one I love most."
Huangshan Jun looked up at the sky, letting the rain soak his hair, and his memory went back to many years ago, when he was still a cub.
"Go away, bastard, I won't play with you."
In the mountains and forests, the sky is cleansing and the breeze blows gently.
A thin kitten held a wild flower in its mouth. It timidly walked up to a little tiger, put the wild flower at the little tiger's feet in a flattering manner, and stammered: "Dabai, I'll give it to you."
The tiger cub is called Dabai. She is a female tiger with white fur. She is the most beautiful tiger cub in the neighborhood.
The kitten's name is Xiao Huang. It has been admiring Dabai for a long time. Today, it saw Dabai lying quietly on the ground like a tiger. Finally, it mustered up the courage to bring a small white flower in its mouth and come to chat with him.
did not expect.
Dabai sneered and took a look.
"Go away, you bastard."
"I, I'm not a bastard, my father is Tiger King." Xiao Huang said timidly.
"Then you are a bastard, a mere lynx bastard. Get out of here. OK, you won't leave, right? I'll leave."
Dabai stood up, stretched his body, and left without looking back.
Xiao Huang sighed and shed tears.
He is an illegitimate son, his father is a famous tiger king, and he has many wives and concubines. If he is not a lady from a wealthy family, or if he is not a powerful monster in the mountains, his mother is just a lynx.
And not enlightened.
Xiao Huang didn't know why his father fell in love with an unintelligent lynx and gave birth to him.
His mother was just a mortal beast and had been dead for many years.
For so many years, Tiger King's father has ignored him and allowed him to fend for himself.
