Immortal Way Retrograde

Chapter 3 Greed
After all, it is a wealthy family in Jingcheng, and all the decorations in this young master's courtyard are unimaginable luxury for ordinary people in this life.

The rockery made of piled stones is as tall as a person. In front of the rockery, there is a narrow and artificial river. The gurgling water is very clear, which adds a bit of elegance to the courtyard.

It has to be said that although Yuanwai Huo wore jewels and jewels, this young master still had a different aesthetic.

As summer approached, lotus leaves began to slowly bloom in front of people in the pond not far away. In addition, there were a few inconspicuous flower buds mixed in, and the flowering period should not be far away.

It's just that the season has not yet arrived, and the pond is still somewhat unspeakably cold.

The overall layout of the courtyard is very exquisite, it can be seen that the people who designed this courtyard also put their heart into it.

However, all of this is beautiful, but there is still an unusually conspicuous incompatibility.

There is a particularly tall locust tree planted on the side of the bedroom of the young master of the Huo family. Jun Luo glanced at it and saw that it was about a hundred years old. This locust tree has already bloomed, and clusters of pure white locust flowers Falling on the branch, it looks very pleasing.

It's just... It stands to reason that a deep house should not be planted with pagoda trees...

Unless you are a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods, maybe there will be no taboos in this regard, but Huo Yuanwai is obviously not the person who does not believe in ghosts and gods. After all, he can ask someone to go to Liubo Mountain, which is enough to rectify his name. …

You know, pagoda trees are inherently yin, and this word can be seen as ghosts in trees. Most houses would not choose to plant pagoda trees for the sake of peace, just because the ghosts in trees also attract ghosts.

The huge shade of the locust tree almost covered the entire bedroom, although it was not enough to cover it airtight, but it was a bit too much, and even [-]% of the windows were covered.

Jun Luo walked up to the locust tree, and slowly put his palm on the torso of the locust tree, and it took about ten breaths before he slowly withdrew his hand.

Huo Yuanwai looked at Jun Luo nervously, "How is it? But what's wrong with this tree?"

Jun Luo didn't answer Huo Yuanwai's question, but asked another question, "This pagoda tree was planted here after you, right?"

Member Huo nodded hesitantly, "Yes, this tree was transplanted here a year ago..."

Speaking of this, Huo Yuanwai seemed to have thought of something unspeakable, so he didn't continue.

But Jun Luo obviously won't let him go like this, "Since Huo Yuanwai can develop his family business to such an extent, he is not a fool after all, he should know the truth of 'the house does not grow locust trees'."

The implication is, why did you commit the crime knowingly?
Huo Yuanwai is not a stupid person, he naturally understood Jun Luo's code words, his face changed unnaturally, after repeated struggles, he sighed softly, "Actually, I asked someone to transplant this tree here. "

There was no surprise on Jun Luo's face, just a light 'oh' that seemed to be casual.

Huo Yuanwai wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, "A year ago, a wandering Taoist priest came to my house. The wandering Taoist claimed that our family's fortune was gradually dissipating. I didn't believe the Taoist's one-sided statement. The Taoist plausibly said that there was a gap in my house for distributing money, and said that as long as I gave him a certain amount of money, he would be able to solve the problem of distributing money for me.

At that time, when I heard this, I just thought it was a charlatan who came to cheat money, so I didn't even think about throwing him out of the door. Who would have thought, who would have thought that the Taoist priest would be so ashamed and furious because of this, he could not tell for a month , something bad will happen to me..."

"Although I said I didn't believe it, I would subconsciously be careful when doing things until the last day of that month.

That day, when I was sure again that it was just a liar, I received a message..."

"The cargo I was transporting to the capital was intercepted on the waterway, and the ship sank..."

"Then, I seemed to start reciting words. Every few days, there would be bad news, and these news were all about money...

I started to look for the wandering Taoist priest everywhere, but the wandering Taoist priest seemed to have disappeared. I almost searched the entire Jingcheng and couldn't find him again.

Until I wanted to give up, that person seemed to appear out of nowhere and appeared in front of my eyes again. "

With these two months of thrilling experience, Huo Yuanwai naturally didn't dare to underestimate the wandering Taoist priest, and he cheered up to welcome him.

The wandering Taoist priest was satisfied with being served, so he finally let go, and pointed out to Huo Yuanwai, saying that to plug the gap of this leakage of money, all he needed was a hundred-year-old pagoda tree.Moreover, the location of the locust tree is also particular, it must be in the yard of the young master of the Huo family.

Because ah, this gap in financial leakage was caused precisely because of the young master of the Huo family.

Huo Yuanwai's face turned green at that time, but when he thought that this was his only son, he had to swallow the breath back abruptly.

It can be said that this incident was also the beginning of Huo Yuanwai's grudge against Huo Liang.

Undoubtedly, the locust tree was transplanted in Huo Liang's courtyard in the end.

Huo Yuanwai explained the ins and outs of the whole story, and then looked at Jun Luo, a little confused, so he said, "Two priests, is there something wrong with this locust tree?"

Jun Luo chuckled, "What's wrong? There's a lot of wrongness."

Moon Shadow interjected at the right time, "This locust tree has already been inhabited by ghosts, so there is a certain amount of ghost energy left on this tree."

Huo Yuanwai bit his lip, "Sure enough...it really was a ghost who took my son away."

Hearing these words again, Jun Luo had already put his impatience on his face, "Let's not talk about what's going on with your son now, even if he was really persecuted by ghosts, wouldn't it be because of you?"

Judging from the appearance of this Yuanwai Huo, this person is not a person who can take care of things.

If there is a problem, it must be the cause of others. If the fault of others involves yourself, you should try to push it away as much as possible.

Can the business be made on such a scale, have you ever thought that it might be the fault of the locust tree?No, he actually knows better than anyone else.

Sure enough, after hearing Jun Luo's words, Yuanwai Huo stopped talking.

At the beginning, when he heard the wandering Taoist talk about planting pagoda trees in his son's courtyard, he did not hesitate.

It's just that his son is not as important as his fortune.

In the eyes of Huo Yuanwai at that time, 'the house does not grow locust trees' is just a rumor, how can one be sure that if a locust tree is planted, ghosts will definitely be recruited, and how can one be sure that Huo Liang will be so unlucky because of the mutation of the locust tree ?

In the final analysis, it was all because of his own greed that he was taking chances.
