When we came here last year, was this tree still bearing apricots? "
Tao He'er looked at the tree carefully and then looked at the surrounding environment: "Yes, girl. It's this tree. You climbed up the tree and picked and ate at the same time. As a result, you had a stomachache at night and couldn't sleep. What did the prince say? It didn’t make your big teeth sore!”
"yes……"
Liang Yue dug at the dry bark with her fingers again. How come it was so dead in just one year?
Liang Yue took a sniff and found that there was indeed no demonic smell.
"Tao He'er, go and ask the nun here, when and why did this tree dry up?"
"Girl, there is an old nun over there. Let me go and ask."
Tao He'er stepped forward to ask, and Liang Yue followed slowly.
The old nun looked to be eight or nine years old, her steps were staggering, her stature was stooped, and she was not as tall as the broom in her hand. She was sweeping the floor repeatedly, as if she were scratching the floor with chicken claws. She was just here to make ends meet and wait to die. of.
"Grandma..."
Tao He'er called three or five times before the old nun heard her. She turned around slowly and used the broom as a crutch to support herself. Her cloudy eyes searched for a long time before settling on Tao He'er.
"Grandma, how many years have you been in this temple?"
Tao He'er pulled the old lady to sit on the steps, and Liang Yue sat down with her.
The old nun sighed and said, "I am much older than you!"
Tao He'er thought, isn't this nonsense? Besides, I didn’t ask this!
The old nun pointed to the tree and said, "When there was this tree, there was me!"
"Then do you know why this tree withered? Why did it wither?"
The old nun shook her head numbly: "I don't remember! I'm old and my memory is bad!"
"Cough..." Liang Yue choked on her saliva, and she dared to meet an Alzheimer's patient.
Forget it, ask someone else.
After dinner, Liang Yue and Tao He'er walked to the backyard. She wanted to make a snack for the Queen Mother and Crazy Dad, and talk to Xi Ni at the same time, so that the mother and son could resolve their estrangement as soon as possible, so that she would not have to be a stepping stone every year.
"Girl, please rest for a while while I go get water first."
Liang Yue sat on the doorstep and ate steamed buns. There was no food or water in her fasting meal, and she was hungry again.
Liang Yue was still thinking about the dead tree in her heart. She only took two bites. Before she could swallow it, she was startled by a sharp scream and almost choked to death!
Xun Sheng ran over and saw Tao He'er falling to the ground, his legs kicking back, and the water tank lid rolling to Liang Yue's feet.
"Peach core!"
Liang Yue went over to help Tao He'er. Tao He'er's face was as pale as paper at the moment, and her eyes were as wide as copper bells.
"Girl! Run! There...there's someone...in that tank!"
Liang Yue kept silent, secretly took out a talisman and hid it in her sleeve, and walked slowly towards the water tank, but her feet were suddenly pulled, which made Liang Yue tremble.
"Girl, it's dangerous! Don't go!"
Liang Yue exhaled and looked back, seeing that it was the peach core hanging on her leg!
"It's okay! I'm just going to take a look!"
Liang Yue took her feet out, walked to the water tank and looked inside. She grabbed the edge of the water tank and stood on tiptoe to look inside.
It was already dark now, and only candles were lit in the kitchen. With this little light, Liang Yue could only see a dark patch of water, which was still slightly bright.
"There's nothing, are you dazzled?"
Returning to Tao He'er, Liang Yue helped Liang Yue stand up.
"Maybe it's the shadow of the trees, plus it's dark, so it's okay."
Liang Yue comforted Tao He'er, Liang Yue patted the ashes on Tao He'er's body, but Tao He'er's eyes widened even more, pointing behind Liang Yue: "That... that... that... ghost! "
Then Tao He'er rolled her eyes and fell down on her back.
"Why?"
Liang Yue grabbed Tao He'er's arm and was staggered by her, falling on Tao He'er, but out of the corner of her eye she saw a red light flashing above her head.
The red light fell just in front of Liang Yue. It was a red gauze skirt. The skirt was very long. Liang Yue couldn't find her feet, but she was so cold and lifeless.
No matter what it was, it wasn't clean anyway. Liang Yue threw out two talismans, and then immediately grabbed the peach core and retreated more than ten meters.
Liang Yue's vision widened and she could see clearly. Isn't this the long-haired Ah Piao? Wearing red clothes, her fingers are longer than her face, and her hands are already blue.
"You are not just a monster, you are a ghost, and you are also an unjust ghost!"
Liang Yue placed the peach core against the wall, and then faced the ghost floating towards her and said.
"But this is a temple, and there is a Buddha standing there. How can you live here?"
The female ghost turned her neck, and a black curse mark appeared. It became clear to Liang Yue that someone was controlling her.
"Were you put here? And the one who was just put here was to kill me?"
Liang Yue swallowed. She had never dealt with ghosts before and had no experience.
The female ghost couldn't understand what Liang Yue was saying at all. As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and flew over.
Liang Yue turned around and dodged, scattering all the charms in her sleeves.
These are all talismans to ward off demons. I don’t know if they are useful against ghosts.
"What should I use to treat you? Black donkey's hooves or black dog's blood?"
The talisman went out, and Liang Yue saw that the female ghost's movements were indeed a bit slow, but it did not hurt her fundamentals.
The backyard kitchen of Cifang'an is far away from the meditation room. Taohe'er shouted twice just now, but no one was summoned. Liangyue didn't worry about hurting innocent people.
When there was an emergency before, Master and Xuan Hui would come, so why haven't the reinforcements come this time?
Liang Yue dodged two attacks from the female ghost. The demon master's curse seal shone on the female ghost, but for some reason, it was bounced back.
Liang Yue was chased into the kitchen, and the candlelight was extinguished. Liang Yue took a knife from the table and cut her palm. Since her blood can seal the big boss, it shouldn't be difficult to drive away a female ghost. Son.
The female ghost was very violent and was killing every step of the way. She had been stimulated by the curse seal just now, and now she rushed towards Liang Yue with her teeth and claws like a hungry tiger, and Liang Yue spilled her blood.
"Ouch..."
The blood spilled onto the female ghost's face. The female ghost covered her face and howled in pain. Liang Yue was not stingy and sprinkled it twice more.
Suddenly, blue fire ignited all over the female ghost's body, but within a moment, it burned down to nothing.
Liang Yue sat down on the ground and retched for a while before she felt like she could breathe again.
This female ghost shouldn't be very spiritual, otherwise her life would be in danger today.
"Suzutsuki!"
Is this voice, Bai Dongting? !
A lantern shone in, and the boy in white who came in was startled by the mess on the ground.
He saw Liang Yue paralyzed on the ground, with red spots on her pink dress, and he immediately realized something.
"Liang Yue!" Bai Tang Shui walked over quickly and covered Liang Yue's arm.
"hiss!"
Liang Yue lowered her head and saw that she was so nervous just now that she didn't even know her arm was scratched.
"You're hurt! What's going on?"
Bai Dongting looked around alertly, "But there are assassins?"
Liang Yue shook her head: "A raccoon came to steal some food. I happened to bump into it, so I went to chase it away..."
"Your hands are bleeding!"
Bai Tangshui grabbed Liang Yue's left hand and saw the bloody kitchen knife on the ground.
