don't go near that tree

Chapter 5

There is still some time before sunrise.

Wu Chun was lying in the cemetery, with a faint blue light emitting from his shoulders, and when he looked closely, it was actually a layer of tiny flames.

"Fortunately, it's not a ghost."

Previously, he suspected that since Wu Chun was able to touch him, the other party might also be a ghost?But this possibility is very small. He can't define what a ghost looks like. It's just that he has seen other ghosts besides himself. Seven days before the souls of people who have just died are separated from their bodies, ghosts are in a state of lax consciousness. At that time, ghosts still had obsession with their "home" before they were alive, and they would always go back late at night to take a look.

After seven days, that is to say, after the first seven days, ghosts begin to have their own consciousness of the underworld, and gradually lose all people and things in the yang world. At that time, most ghosts will enter reincarnation.

He is an exception.

In the past five years, he has only seen himself as an exception.

He couldn't give an accurate definition of "ghost", but the only thing he was sure of was that as a "ghost", he couldn't live in the sun. He could live in a pine tree during the day, which was the closest place he had ever seen to the light.

When Wu Chun first touched him, the other party was not afraid of the yin energy on his body, so he suspected that this might be another kind of ghost that he didn't know that could live under the light that he didn't know.

It wasn't until now, when he saw the flames emanating from Wu Chun's shoulders, that he was finally convinced that the other party was not a ghost.

There are indeed two fires on people's shoulders. Usually they don't look back, and ghosts can't get close.

It's just that the two fires on Wu Chun's shoulders are very weak, so they can only be stimulated to burn out in places with heavy yin.

"how could be?"

He couldn't think of the reason for the weak fire on Wu Chun's shoulders. Such a phenomenon had never appeared in his consciousness. He only had five years of memory. The memory of these five years was almost blank, and the endless stream of people couldn't remember it. Even if the ghosts who come and go in a hurry remember it, it is something irrelevant and not worth remembering. .

If the fire of the bodyguard on the shoulder is weak, there will be more dirty things to take advantage of. From this point of view, it is not a good thing.

There was a rooster crowing in the distance, and the sky was about to dawn.

He looked down at Wu Chun who was still sleeping.

Shili Village has not held a funeral in the past six months, and the souls left in this cemetery have already stepped into reincarnation, but the lingering yin energy will not dissipate for a long time.

His pale hand touched Wu Chun's cheek lightly. Unlike the wheat color of the people here, Wu Chun's skin was rosy and white, and those big watery eyes seemed to be full of aura. The other party smiled in his sleep just now. When you stand up, there will be two deep dimples on both sides of the cheeks.

Inadvertently, the corner of his mouth rose slightly.

There was another cock crowing, and he couldn't stay any longer.

The fire on Wu Chun's shoulder was still burning.

He hesitated for a while, but still chose to put Wu Chun here.

The fire on the opponent's shoulders needs something to fuel it.

Before the sun came out, he hurried back to the pine tree, and before again, he took out the bark again, and added another sentence under the original sentence.

……

Wu Chun woke up and found himself in the cemetery.

For a while, he thought he was dreaming, and carefully recalled what happened last night.

It seems that after he felt someone sighing behind him last night, his consciousness began to lose consciousness, and when he woke up again, he was lying here.

Wu Chun checked himself carefully, and luckily, at least there were no wounds on the surface.

However, I was sent here for no reason, probably just like the book said, I was sent to suck yang energy for ghosts.

The sky was slightly bright, and only a small part of the sun was exposed.

There seemed to be farmers working in the distance.

The weather is cool at this time, which is indeed a good time to do farm work.

Wu Chun ran out of the cemetery, he was not as lacking in energy as the book said, on the contrary, Wu Chun felt that he was refreshed at the moment.

It's not like the ghost sucked his yang energy, but rather he sucked the ghost's yin energy.

Wu Chun went down the mountain road, and he would inevitably pass the pine tree again. He stopped, touched his pocket, and found that the pine cone was still inside.

I really depend on myself.

Wu Chun suddenly became angry, walked to the pine tree, picked three or four pine cones and put them in his pocket without saying a word.

"If you like to let this thing follow me so much, then give me a few more."

After speaking, Wu Chun stuffed his pockets with pine cones and walked down the mountain angrily.

I apologized yesterday, but the other party didn't accept it at all.It seems that the other party does not take softness.

Wu Chun decided to go back and inquire about the ghosts on Shili Mountain.

When Wu Chun came home, his grandfather was in the yard.

When I left last night, I confirmed that the other party was asleep.

"Morning, Grandpa." Wu Chun pretended to be calm and said, "It's really good to get up and go for a run this morning."

"I said why I didn't see anyone early in the morning. It turned out that I went for a run. Good exercise. Wash your hands quickly and have breakfast."

Seeing that his grandfather was not suspicious, Wu Chun breathed a sigh of relief.

During the meal, Wu Chun took the opportunity to ask his grandfather about the mountain again.

"I haven't seen it. After all, I eat and live alone. I don't need so much firewood. I don't need to steal in the middle of the night. These are what my grandfather heard from them."

"Grandpa, has anyone seen that?" Wu Chun asked hastily.

"Chun Chun, why are you asking this?"

"That..." Wu Chun hesitated and said, "I just find it strange that we hardly hear these things in our place, so I'm just curious."

……

Wu Chun came to Wang Po's house in front of the village with a pile of firewood on his back.

The firewood was picked up by my grandfather while herding sheep yesterday. According to my grandfather, the old lady is old and her legs and feet are inconvenient. People in the village usually take care of each other.

When my grandfather asked me to deliver things, I also told myself that the old lady had already started to suffer from dementia, and when she saw a young guy, she called her grandson, but every time she talked about Shili Mountain, she was very energetic.

Wu Chun remembered that the so-called master also mentioned this Wang Po last night.

It is estimated that it is an old man in this village.

When Wu Chun found Mrs. Wang's house, he saw a gray-haired old woman sitting at the door, leaning her back on a big tree, staring at Shili Mountain.

"Hello, Grandma Wang." Wu Chun walked over, first explained his purpose of coming, and put the firewood at the door of the other party's house.

Turning around, Wang Po didn't know when she left her original position and stood behind her.

Wu Chun was taken aback, but still wanted to greet with a smile, "What's wrong with Grandma Wang?"

In the next second, Wu Chun felt himself being hugged suddenly, and the next moment, he heard Granny Wang crying, "Grandson, you finally came back to see grandma."

Wu Chun was dumbfounded.

"Grandma Wang, I'm Wu Chun."

No matter how Wu Chun explained, the other party kept talking incoherently as if he couldn't hear him, "You are my good grandson, you finally remember to visit grandma."

Seeing the other party's delirious appearance, Wu Chun had no choice but to deal with it for the time being, yelling at each grandma, and every time he yelled, he would think of his grandma who died of a cerebral thrombosis, and felt uncomfortable.

It took a long time for Wu Chun to regain his freedom.

The other party took Wu Chun's hand, and the two sat down under the big tree.

"Grandma, why do you keep looking at that mountain?"

Wu Chun remembered what his grandfather said to him, so he wanted to get some useful news from here.

"Because you came down from this mountain last time. Grandma has been looking forward to your coming."

"Then is there anything special about this mountain?" Wu Chun asked again.

"Special?" Granny Wang looked at the mountain without blinking her eyes and said, "Grandma remembers that one night a year ago, grandma heard you calling me on the mountain, so she ran over and saw a person halfway up the mountain. .He was wearing white clothes and had long hair, but his back was facing grandma, who couldn’t see what he looked like, so I asked him if he had seen my grandson, but he just disappeared.”

White clothes and long hair.

When people here describe the ghost on the mountain, they all seem to say this.

"Grandma knows that he is not human, but at her age, she has never seen anything, and she is not afraid. It just feels that the other party is young and just disappeared. Grandma went to the temple to worship the next day, wishing him In the next life, he was reincarnated into a good family, and then grandma bought some burnt paper and burned it. Grandma remembered that the child didn’t wear shoes, so no one in the family gave him burnt paper money. If the child is reincarnated, he will be one year old this year.”

Wu Chun felt a little emotional, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He felt that the person Granny Wang talked about was the ghost who had been haunting him these days.

It's a pity that Wu Chun has never seen the real face of the other party.

I don't know if the other party is really what these people say.

An idea sprouted in Wu Chun's heart, he actually wanted to meet the other party.

This kind of situation where the enemy is in the dark and you are in the light is really difficult.

Wu Chun spent a lot of time talking before he got away from Wang Po, and before he left, he promised that she would visit him often.

Back home, Wu Chun sat in the room and meditated.

If you only had the idea of ​​wanting to see the other party just now, then this idea will become stronger and stronger at the moment, and even become a must in the end.

It is a fact that I am haunted by a ghost, and I am still a "ghost" who does not eat softly. I heard from my grandfather that many masters have been invited to do the method over the years, but almost none of them have any effect.

If the world of "underworld" really exists, then it seems that people's understanding of "underworld" is one-sided, and it can even be taken for granted.

People say that ghosts are afraid of peach trees.

People say ghosts can't see the light.

People say that there are many things in this world that protect people from ghosts.

Everything is "people" again, but is this really the case?

Wu Chun is now very sure that if possible, he must meet the other party.

That night, after his grandfather fell asleep, Wu Chun slipped out of the house again, this time taking an ax when he left.

Holding a mahogany sword last night, he was still fainted and thrown into the cemetery. It can be seen that mahogany is useless.

Wu Chun decided this time that if anything frightened him again, he would cut down that tree.

It was especially dark tonight, there were no people on the road, and the mountain was quiet.

It is estimated that after last night, it will take some time before people continue to secretly cut down here.

But Wu Chun was surprisingly calm, and he never thought of this kind of reaction. He didn't seem to have any fear of the dark night, let alone "ghosts". He even felt a little excited when he thought of meeting the other party.

Wu Chun held the ax and walked to the side of the tree.

"I came here by myself today." Wu Chun walked up to the tree, held up the ax and said, "Well, don't let the pine cone follow me, brother ghost, come out, let's have a good talk?"

The answer to Wu Chun was silence.

Wu Chun is helpless, this ghost really doesn't get in!

"If you don't come out, I will cut down the tree tonight." Wu Chun said, pretending to raise the ax to cut down the tree.

wow~

In the absence of wind, the pine branches of the pine tree in front of us shook twice.

Wu Chun: "..."

Is this provocation?

Wu Chun sighed in his heart, this ghost must be in this pine tree, and he is still so childish!

"Didn't you say that you ghosts are very powerful? Come out, what do you look like hiding in a tree!"

At this moment, Wu Chun had a feeling that the whole pine tree was shaking.

Wu Chun: "..."

Wu Chun seldom gets angry, and he can't remember the last time he was angry, but this time, Wu Chun will definitely remember it.

He never thought that he would be so angry by a ghost.

"Don't bring such a bully!" Wu Chun said and gradually became aggrieved, "Didn't I provoke you twice that day, you said you were a ghost, and you were so stingy, and I didn't do anything outrageous, no I just hugged you twice, as for? Chase me and never let go."

Wu Chun couldn't hold back his tears as he spoke. All this made him very helpless. He just wants to be a big evil person. After all, if he does a lot of evil, he will suffer disaster. His mother always told him: But do good deeds, don't worry about the future.

That's good, even though I didn't do anything good, I wouldn't be entangled by ghosts.

So many bad guys in the world are still getting away with it.

Wu Chun felt that this ghost was making trouble for no reason!

"If you bully people like this, you will never be able to reincarnate."

As Wu Chun said, he threw away the ax in his hand, squatted down and hugged himself tightly with both hands, resting his forehead on his knees, and started to cry regardless.

After a while, the wind picked up...

Wu Chun seemed to feel that the surrounding pine trees were shaking, and the wind slipped past his back.

Wu Chun raised his head, and saw a "person" coming out of the pine tree. The person was indeed as in the legend, with white clothes, bare feet, and long hair draped over his shoulders, just as the book said. , the skin is abnormally white, but it's not scary either.

It's just that the other party's face is not as hideous as it is in the book.

Wu Chun suddenly thought of a sentence: Moshang is like a jade, and his son is unparalleled in the world.
