"But when it was still a forest here, there was a child bride from a wealthy family in Qingyuan County. She couldn't stand the oppression and torture of her mother-in-law, so she ran out of the house. As a result, the matter was exposed and she was discovered by her family. She chased her all the way and rushed into the woods. The child bride saw that there was no way around and had to run into the dense forest. The servant sent by her mother-in-law wanted to light the fire and force her out, but strangely, she couldn't ignite it several times. In desperation, she could only turn it into the woods.

The forest surrounded this forest and sent people to search. From morning to night, the servants sent three or four people to search, but no one was seen when they went in. None of the three or four people came out. In an instant, the servants sent were a little panicked and thought to themselves: Could it be that the forest can eat people? Why are they only coming in but not coming out? So in addition to continuing to guard, they quickly sent people to inform the master and wife. "The old woodcutter is quite good at telling stories, like storytelling, which makes Zhang Xuanqing listen with relish.

In the past few years, he first investigated the mysterious Taoist priest who appeared in Taihong County. After failing, he traveled around and asked about strange things about gods and ghosts whenever he went. Unfortunately, he heard a lot of stories, but gods and ghosts did not meet any of them at all. At this time, when the old woodcutter said it, he knew that the plot of the subsequent story must be related to ghosts and gods, but whether there is "dirty" here remains to be discussed.

Sure enough, with the hoarse voice of the old woodcutter, the story behind became more and more strange: "The master of the wealthy family came early the next morning. In addition to his servants, he also brought a team of yamen runners in the yamen. No need to ask, the master must have spent money in the yamen to commit the crime of raising a child bride and private escape, so the county magistrate sent yamen runners to capture them. As the saying goes, take money and eliminate disasters with people. The yamen runners held up sticks and iron ropes and entered the tree.

Lin, in less than a quarter of an hour, he saw these yamen run out of the woods, and shouted: Call the coroner! Call the coroner! Call the coroner! Can the coroner be called for the autopsy when he dies? Could it be that the yamen runs out and the yamen runs out in a terrified state. When they calm down a little, the master realized that the child bride was hanged on a big tree inside. The three or four servants sent in yesterday were all lying under the tree, and it seemed that they were all dead."

"After death, not only the coroner is coming, but the county magistrate must also personally go to investigate the case. The coroner and a few yamen runners dragged out the child bride hanging on the tree and several servants under the tree. After inspection, the child bride had already been hung, and the chests of several servants were still warm, with a faint pulse, and it seemed that they were still rescued. Coroner usually had some medical knowledge, and put it in his mouth and sprayed it on them, then pressed and rubbed it all over his body. After working hard for a while, he finally heard a long sigh. The servants finally woke up. After asking, they realized that they had entered the woods that day.

, they saw the child bride hanged on the tree. The few of them wanted to carry the child bride from the tree and carry it out to report the merits. But who knew that when they were about to lift the corpse down, the child bride's eyes opened. The long hair suddenly dropped, and they felt a cold wind blowing in their faces, and their eyes were dark, and they didn't know what happened later. The two experiences that came in later were similar. When they came to the corpse, they felt a cold wind and fainted. As for what happened afterwards, they didn't know anything. When they opened their eyes, they saw a big guy."

"The county master and the old man couldn't help but shivered after hearing what the servants said. People's lives have always been worthless, not to mention that the child bride died. The master did not pursue the matter, so he found a place to bury the child bride at will. But since then, many strange legends have spread about this woods, some said those who saw ghost fire, some said those who heard women crying, and some said that they saw women combing their hair vividly. In short, this place has become a forbidden area in our local area. No one has entered again, and it becomes more and more gloomy and terrifying."

"Later, when the Sui Dynasty was in the Sui Dynasty, the official road was opened here. Originally, all the trees were cut down, but when the surrounding small trees were cut, only this lonely tree was left, but the project could not wake up anyway. No matter who cut it, it would fall down with a sound, and I don't know how to live or die. Look at this big tree, red bloodstains from the wounds of the axe. This scared the officers and soldiers who opened the road very much. Please ask the Taoist priest, call He, and the method of opening the altar for 49 days. In the end, there was no way to deal with this big tree, so I stayed."

After telling the story, the old woodcutter still talked about his character and asked Zhang Xuanqing: "By the way, Taoist priest, since you don't know this story, you must not be a local. You see, you are wearing a lot of clothes, are you going to Qingyuan County ahead, or just passing by here?"

It was rare for Zhang Xuanqing to meet such a man who could talk to him. He smiled and said, "If nothing happened, it should be considered passing by." He has not been there for a long time in the past few years, and he is basically sure that he will leave if he cannot find out about ghosts and gods, and rarely stay in one place.

The old woodcutter nodded and said, "That's good. I said before that the Taoist priest came, and I want to advise the Taoist priest to come again after a few days. But since the Taoist priest was just passing by, I won't have that much mouth. As long as the Taoist priest remembers, don't stay in Qingyuan County for a long time."

"Oh? Why is this?" Zhang Xuanqing couldn't help but be curious, and his eyes came back from the big tree in the center of the road.

Just after hearing the old woodcutter tell the story, he took a look at the tree with the qi-looking technique. He found that the story told by the old woodcutter might be true: the tree is growing in an extremely evil place, with a strong evil spirit in the tree, and some strange things will happen around it, which is not surprising at all.

What he encountered most in recent years was evil spirits. Any stories he had heard, whether it was a female ghost who demanded life or a demon who caused harm, would be either false or evil spirits. It was like the "fox spirit" he saw in Huayuan, who didn't even know how he got into a human body. He had never seen anyone who truly understood the affairs of gods and ghosts.

If it weren't for the scenes of seeing ghost babies in modern time and space in the past, he could not help but wonder if there were any ghosts in this world.

But even so, he couldn't help but wonder, could ghosts and gods only emerge after the Tang Dynasty?

At this time, he heard the seriousness of the old woodcutter and even had a hint of warning, and he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that there is something strange in Qingyuan County?

But I heard the old woodcutter say: It will be continued.
