The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 68
When Aunt Ma heard Grandpa Ma say that there is a treasure, she is a greedy person, so she was moved.

In addition, she secretly thought in her heart, maybe it was just a matter of lip service, and it would be over if she moved, who knew if she could really take care of things, but it was just to fool the old man to be happy.

After thinking about it, Aunt Ma immediately agreed, saying that she was willing to lend Grandpa Ma five years of life.Unexpectedly, when she agreed that day, she felt bad at night. She always saw ghosts coming to arrest her, saying that she only had two or three years of good life left, and she generously lent it to others, although she usually There is no kindness accumulated, but this filial piety before she dies can save her from some crimes in the underworld, and let her be cast into a decent human fetus in the future!

Aunt Ma was frightened, and then fell into a semi-consciousness.It's not yet time to die, so the ghost messenger hasn't formally arrested her, so send her a letter in advance to let her prepare for her funeral.

Grandpa said that when people are about to die, their souls become scattered, they will wander around, and the uncontrollable soul will come out of the body.If you can go back after a round, you can walk clearly, if you can't go back, you will be in a coma, with only a wisp of life left, and when the ghost messenger comes to pick it up, you will be completely dead.

Xia Xiangxi didn't have a good impression of Aunt Ma, but the bird was dying and its song was mournful, she couldn't see such a thing.Grandpa saw Xia Xiangxi's thoughts in advance, and said, "Don't try to trick someone into helping her, this matter won't help!"

Xia Xiangxi could only sigh.

Talking all the way like this, the road was long without realizing it, and Xia Xiangxi didn't realize that they had reached that place until his grandfather stopped suddenly.In front of the peach tree.

The night was too dark, and Xia Xiangxi only saw that the peach tree was still alive and well. Grandpa looked at it and said, "It's really not good. Someone dug the soil here and hurt the roots of the peach tree." It must not have been done by the locals. Everyone knows the origin of this tree, and no one dares to approach it, let alone move the soil here.

Xia Xiangxi said: "Are you an outsider? It doesn't look like you want to steal this tree. What are you digging around here?"

Grandpa said: "Someone must have heard the legend here, and they are looking for some treasures! This is beyond our control. Come here tomorrow to fill up those holes, and then apply some fertilizer properly to raise them for ten and a half months." The day is about to get better!"

Xia Xiangxi responded, and suddenly remembered that she knew about this peach tree long before she knew her own life experience, and also knew that this was the courtyard where a Han witch used to live, so she asked her grandpa, "This is where I came from." Is the place where the cursed priestess in question lived?"

Grandpa didn't say yes or no, so he laughed twice and said hurry back!

On the other side, I suddenly heard someone crying, it was a man's voice, and the crying sound was ugly and frightening.Xia Xiangxi shuddered, and grabbed her grandfather's skirt, she felt that she had encountered a ghost this time!

What a ghost!However, Xia Xiangxi could see it this time.The cry came from the peach tree.I don't know why I didn't see it just now, but now I see it again?
Peach tree is the place where the epiphyte monsters love the most, Xia Xiangxi has long known this.Grandpa also said that the peach tree is more likely to attract ghosts if it is planted on the gate of ghosts.

It was a fat man with a round head. He wasn't scared when he saw his grandfather, but he was terrified of Xia Xiangxi, saying that Xia Xiangxi was a ghost!
Xia Xiangxi laughed all of a sudden, and didn't take a closer look at himself as he said what was in his heart. Isn't he a justifiable ghost?Why are you talking about her?

Grandpa said to Xia Xiangxi: "You stay away from him, I'll talk to him!"

It turned out that this ghost was a tomb robber. When they heard that an ancient tomb was found in the mountains, they came to steal one or two treasures. They went to Sanwanggou to see it, because there were troops guarding it. They didn't dare to do anything, so they inquired again, saying that there was a tomb in the mountain, and that tomb was not a very old tomb, it was considered modern, with a history of more than a hundred years, but they heard from the local people that the tomb was buried with There are many treasures, all of which are ancient jade and porcelain, and the value can be regarded as invaluable.So they robbed the tomb, and found it after searching for a long time, but when they dug it up, there was nothing valuable, just a female corpse, which seemed to be alive, and could eat people with her hair. His companion was eaten alive by the female corpse's hair, if his companion hadn't kicked him away, he would have rolled into a burrow, and he would not have survived!

When Grandpa heard this, he already knew the origin of this ghost. It was one of the two tomb robbers who saved He Xuan and Xiao Zhao Xiaoxie that day.But Xia Xiangxi didn't know about these things. She walked away for a distance, and the night was quiet, and she could hear the voices of grandpa and that ghost clearly without paying attention.

Next, Grandpa asked the ghost, since he escaped, why did he die again?
The ghost said that he was unwilling to let his companion die so miserably, and wanted to take revenge but couldn't, so he wanted to steal some treasures, leave the mountain and give them to his companion's family, so that his companion's family could live a stable life relying on those treasures , it's not for nothing that his companion saved him.

He ran to Sanwanggou, and pretended to be pitiful because he had saved the lives of some of the soldiers there, so that they sympathized with him and took him in. At night, while everyone was resting, he sneaked into the ancient tomb and stole it. There are several treasures. In the dark night, he panicked and lost his way. When he got here, he was tired and hungry. He wanted to find something to eat in the village, but he was afraid that he would be found to be a grave robber with those treasures, so he wanted to bury them. , he was afraid that he was not familiar with this place, and he would forget the place if he buried it. He saw that this place was a good place, easy to find, and there was a symbolic peach tree, so he hid the treasure under the peach tree, but when he arrived I begged for food and drink in the stockade, and went back here to find those treasures, but I couldn't find them no matter what.He dug a hole, the soil in that hole became living soil, it was easy to find, but it was very strange, he dug the hole, digging to the end, but he couldn't find those treasures, he was not reconciled, so he dug here and there Son, the result is not found.

Later, he met a green-faced ghost and a red-clothed female ghost, and was killed by that female ghost afterwards.He died miserably, unexpectedly, and he couldn't reach the underworld, so he could only temporarily attach himself to this peach tree. Unexpectedly, this peach tree was dug up by him randomly, and the root was injured, and he was about to die. He will be a ghost in the future. There is nowhere to go!
Xia Xiangxi was terrified when she heard this, because the ghost mentioned the green-faced ghost and the red-clothed ghost, she concluded that they were Sheqing ghost and Huanhuan!During this period of time, Huanhuan didn't take the initiative to show up. She thought that Huanhuan had captured Minghao, so she let go of her hatred, but she didn't expect that she was still wandering around and hurting people!
