Vol 9 Chapter 174: Locust tree

The old man looked at Zhao Hai a little puzzled, but as soon as he saw Zhao Hai entering the woods, he still walked in. After entering the woods, Zhao Hai went around in the woods for a long time. Stopped under the big tree. This was the last thick tree in the woods. It looked very ordinary. Zhao Hai glanced at the big tree, then he couldn't help but sighed, then he walked around the tree. After a lap, he stopped at a place behind the big tree, picked up the handy shovel in his hand, and dug up the soil there.
  The old man looked at Zhao Hai's movements with some puzzlement. He didn't know why Zhao Hai had to dig the soil, but he still said, "Master, I will go to the village to call someone and let everyone come and help you dig."
Zhao Hai smiled and shook his head and said: "No need, it will be fine in a while." After saying that he kept holding his hand, and after a while his shovel seemed to be hitting something, Zhao Hai immediately stopped, and then his shovel Just let it go, and slowly a small wooden coffin appeared in front of Zhao Hai and the old man.
  When the old man saw the coffin, he couldn't help but was taken aback, then his face changed drastically, and he said solemnly, "Little Tiezhu?"
  Zhao Hai glanced at the old man, then said: "Old man, do you know this coffin?"
The old man nodded, and then said: "I have seen this coffin. Two years ago, Er Niu's child, Xiao Tie Zhu, suddenly fell ill and died. Because he was still a child, and died, he couldn't enter the ancestral grave, so we just Let Er Niu find a place to bury the child by himself, but he unexpectedly buried the child here."
Zhao Hai sighed lightly, and then he said: "People in the village don't understand that this tree is a locust tree, it is a ghost in the wood. It is used to absorbing ghosts and ghosts. This child was buried here after his death. Nourished by the yin qi of the locust tree, a ghost was finally conceived. After the ghost was bred, it naturally wanted to go home. Among the three people in the family, only the old donor had the weakest yang energy, so the ghost was possessed. In the body of the old donor, the ghost did not have any bad intentions, he just obeyed instinct, but he was a ghost, and the yin qi was too heavy. So he just fell ill, the old donor, the poor monk will be here to make a super-transition to this little donor, and I ask you to allow it."
  At this time, the old man was already shocked by what Zhao Hai said. He hurriedly said: "Master, please, master, please."
Zhao Hai responded, and then he shook the convenient shovel in his hand. The iron ring on the convenient shovel collided and made a rustling sound. Then he recanted the Reborn Sutra again. With his voice, golden light fell to it. On the coffin, bursts of black gas began to emerge from the coffin, and finally the black gas disappeared completely. From the coffin, a golden villain flew out suddenly. This villain looked seven or eight years old. Wearing a new suit, his face was round and he looked very cute. After he appeared, he saluted Zhao Hai, and then his whole body turned into a golden light and disappeared.
The old man kept watching. When the villain appeared, the old man opened his mouth in surprise and was about to scream. He immediately covered his mouth with his hands, because he knew that villain. Niu's child, Little Tiezhu, did not breathe until the little Tiezhu disappeared. He really didn't know what the item said. Everything he saw just now surprised him too much.
At this time, Zhao Hai's scriptures were also finished, and then he turned his head and said to the old man: "Old donor, the poor monk has overtaken, but the poor monk has one thing to tell the old man, this big locust tree, you better It is to clean him out. If the big locust tree is left here, it may attract ghosts, because the yin on the big locust tree is too heavy and it is easy to attract ghosts. This big locust tree will be dealt with. In the future, your village will be disturbed. I hope that the old donor will understand it."
  When the old man heard Zhao Hai say this, he was frightened, and he quickly said: "Please help from the master. No matter what the master wants, as long as the master can help us deal with this locust tree, I will take it all out."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "If you agree with the old donor, the poor monk can help you deal with this big locust tree, but there is one thing, after dealing with this big locust tree, this big locust tree The things on the tree should belong to the poor monk and don’t need the old benefactor. Don’t pay for it, but don’t you know if it’s okay?

  When the old man heard Zhao Hai say this, he quickly said: "Yes, of course, please, please."
Zhao Hai nodded, and then said to the old man: "Old donor, should I discuss this matter with the people in the village? The poor monk is waiting here. If all the people in the village agree, it is not too late for the poor monk to take action. ."
When the old man heard what Zhao Hai said, he thought about it, and he immediately said: "Okay, please wait a moment, I will go and talk to the people in the village." After speaking, the old man turned and walked into the village. So fast, I can't see the old state at all.
Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile when he looked at the old man. Then he looked at the big locust tree with a hint of joy on his face. This locust tree is indeed a very good thing, especially the locust tree. Heart, even more so.
After the old man returned to the village, he immediately returned home, took out a gong, and knocked while walking in the village. After a while, everyone in the village heard the sound of the gong and walked out, and waited until everyone had left. After coming out, the old man walked to an earthen platform in the village. In this earthen platform, the people in the village built it together. It was something to discuss in the village. The person in charge of the village, the place where he stayed, now The person in charge of the village is an old man, so he went directly to the soil platform.
  After the old man got on the soil platform, he opened his mouth and said: "Everyone is quiet, listen to me." There were some noisy villagers below, all quieted down, and all of them looked at the old man quietly.
The old man glanced at the people, and then he said: "Today there is a master in the village. I think everyone knows. This master is a real Taoist monk. After he arrives in the village, he only needs two. After eating a dry cake, I kept reading the scriptures. Erniu's mother was sick, so I asked the master to read the scriptures to the Erniu's mother. I didn't expect the Erniu's mother to be evil, the master said. After the scriptures, Erniu's mother is fine, Erniu, tell yourself, is your mother all right now?"
Of course Erniu also came. When he heard the old man say this, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Uncle Wu is right. My mother is really well now. She has already woke up just now, but she is still too weak. There is no way to get off the kang." When the villagers below heard what Erniu said, they all started to make a noise. Some of them really didn't know about it. Now they are naturally surprised when they hear it.
The old man glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "Be quiet, give me peace." The crowd slowly calmed down, and then the old man continued: "After curing the second cow and his mother, the master asked me to take it with me. He walked around the village, and when he reached the woods outside the village, the master entered the woods, and finally stopped at the old locust tree, and then he dug a coffin under the old locust tree."
As soon as the old man said this, Er Niu immediately opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Wu, that is the coffin of my family’s Tie Zhu, how did the master dug out Tie Zhu’s coffin?" The Er Niu was really anxious and wanted It wasn't that Zhao Hai had just rescued his mother, he was now afraid that he was about to rush over and was desperately fighting Zhao Hai.
The old man glanced at Er Niu, and then coldly snorted: "You still have the face to say that when the iron pillar was gone, I asked you to bury the iron pillar yourself. Who made you bury it under the big locust tree? Yes? The master said, the big locust tree is inherently yin, you buried Tie Zhu there. Tie Zhu was nourished by the yin of the big tree, and finally became a kid. He wanted to go home and came to your house. After that, because you and your wife’s yang energy were heavy, he couldn’t rely on you two. Just because your mother’s yang energy was light, he was attached to your mother. Your mother’s yang energy was light and her health was not good. Of course I fell ill at this time. Now the master has spent time for Tie Zhuchao. There will be nothing to do. You will come with me in a while and bury Tie Zhu again."
When Er Niu heard the old man say this, he was stunned. Then he couldn't help but burst into tears. He and his wife, only a child like Tie Zhu, were very sad when they died. With that said, he couldn't help feeling even more sad, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The old man glanced at Er Niu, and then said: "Okay, don't cry, I called everyone today, not because of this, but because the master said that the big locust tree has absorbed too much shade. Angrily, if you stay outside the village, other ghosts will be attracted. In the future, there will be no peace in the village. He said that he can help us deal with the big locust tree, but the big locust tree Everything should belong to him, he just came to ask me to ask the master, and I don’t agree."
  Everyone was taken aback when they heard the old man say this, and then they immediately shouted: "Agree, what's the disagreement, of course I agree, the master can help us deal with the locust tree, that's a good thing."
  The old man nodded and said: "Okay, then everyone will go with me to the big locust tree, and we will go to see the master together."
Everyone responded, and even Er Niu followed them to the woods outside the village. Soon they were not in the woods outside the village, and Zhao Hai was still standing under the big locust tree. In front of him, there was still the coffin.
As soon as Zhao Hai saw that the villagers were coming, he turned around and saluted the villagers. The villagers did not dare to neglect, and all knelt down. The old man said, "Master, the people in the village have already decided, this The tree is at the disposal of the master, the master please."
When Zhao Hai heard the old man say this, he turned his head and glanced at the people in the village, and then he said, "Does everyone agree?" Big locust tree.
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, and then he said: "Okay, everyone agrees, then I'll do it. Master, please get up, go back and back." Everyone quickly responded, and then all stood up and backed away. Zhao Hai waited until everyone retreated before he walked under the tree. Then he picked up the handy shovel in his hand, and hit the trunk of the big tree with a shovel. When he heard a bang, he saw the big tree. The trunk, starting from the root, broke directly, and the whole tree made a harsh creak and fell down.
But at this time, Zhao Hai suddenly moved. His figure stopped moving around the tree, and the handy shovel in his hand kept swinging out. When the stem of the tree fell completely, The branches of the big tree had all been cleaned up by Zhao Hai, only a bare trunk was saved, and the other branches were all scattered around.
