Everyone followed the man's shout and looked towards the source of the voice.

It was the tree trunk that had just been broken, and blood was gushing out from it! As for the villagers who had never seen the world, they all scattered in a flash.

Taoist Wang was secretly delighted in his heart. This was really a business deal that came looking for him.

A few bold people brought Aunt Zhang to the village's infirmary. The doctors examined him and fortunately, nothing happened to the bones, only there were some bruises on the muscles. Thus, they suggested that they put the anti-inflammatory medicine on for two days.

Only then did the people from Aunt Zhang let out a sigh of relief.

After Taoist Wang returned, he prepared a few "items", and planned to take advantage of these two days to find an opportunity to place these things on the beams of Aunt Zhang's house, so that some things could happen to Aunt Zhang's family. After that, he could stand out and settle the matter for her family.

But before he could carry it out, his plan was disrupted.

What is it? The next morning, when he received the news, Aunt Zhang went crazy!

The Zhang Family people came over to ask Taoist Wang, he took his bag and rushed to Aunt Zhang's house with his son.

On the way, Taoist Wang told the Zhang Family that Aunt Zhang's illness was obviously a louse on a monk's head. The thousand-year dryad must have been infuriated to the point of blaming it.

Arriving at the Aunt Zhang's house, Taoist Wang saw Aunt Zhang sitting at the entrance of the courtyard. Her hair was in a mess and a strand of hair was missing from her head.

Other than her family members, there were quite a few others who came to watch the show.

Seeing the Taoist Wang coming over, the husband and son of the Aunt Zhang hurriedly came over and said that they saw the Aunt Zhang sitting here this morning. Somehow, the hair on her head fell off overnight, and no matter how they called, they just ignored him, as if they had lost their souls.

Taoist Wang approached Aunt Zhang and caressed the top of her head. He said that Aunt Zhang's hair was pulled off by someone.

Aunt Zhang's husband was confused. He said that was impossible, there was no one else at home other than herself and his son. How could someone pull her hair?

While they were at a loss for words, no one knew what Aunt Zhang saw. When no one expected it, she suddenly rushed forward, her mouth babbling something that nobody knew what she was saying.

A few young lad quickly reacted and rushed over to grab Aunt Zhang, but were still a step too late.

Outside of her home, there was a small ginkgo tree. Aunt Zhang ran towards it, and at the same time, Taoist Wang saw a black shadow disappear into the distance.

Aunt Zhang crashed into a tree and with a loud thud, she fell to the ground.

Everyone's hands and feet were messed up, the group of people who were watching the commotion shouted that the Aunt Zhang was possessed, and then scattered.

Everyone carried Aunt Zhang back to her room and put him on the bed. Taoist Wang busied herself with taking out her pulse and peeking at her eyelids, feeling extremely anxious for the father-son duo.

After a while, Aunt Zhang woke up. She touched the top of her head. She started to cry.

Taoist Wang said that Aunt Zhang crashed into that ginkgo tree because of it. Since that's the case, then this tree already has cultivation experience, so we have to go and apologize. will bring a candle, paper money, and tribute to pay his respects under the tree tonight, and then sincerely repent.

However, after Aunt Zhang and her husband looked at each other, she said that this matter was not caused by the Ginkgo tree, but rather … Before she could finish her words, the husband of the Aunt Zhang interrupted her and shouted, "Why do you not believe the words of the Taoist Wang?" If you don't believe in Taoist Wang, you can just wait for death!

Sure enough, the Aunt Zhang did not speak anymore, and her grieving face immediately turned dark. She nodded in agreement and followed Taoist Wang's instructions.

It was very obvious that the Aunt Zhang's husband was hiding something, but it was someone else's problem, and the Taoist Wang could not ask openly.

Taoist Wang said his last sentence, and told his son to accompany his to worship the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree. Aunt Zhang and her husband looked at each other, and the two quickly refused, saying that there was no need.

After giving out all these instructions, he went back home with a relieved heart.

After returning home, Taoist Wang told his son that Aunt Zhang must have some tricks up her sleeve. Take care of her tonight and don't let anything go wrong.

What was the trick? his son asked.

If she said that she had offended the Tree God, she would never believe it even if she was beaten to death. But since the Taoist Wang had great prestige in the village, and the Aunt Zhang was not afraid of anything, she did not dare to refute what the Taoist Wang said in front of her. Hence, she asked you to follow her to prevent her from fooling around or not going to pay respects, which would be very troublesome.

His son asked the Taoist Wang if he needed anything. He said that he didn't need anything, that he just needed to keep an eye on the person.

At night, Taoist Wang prepared candles, paper money, and some fruits for his son to bring over. He didn't dare delay any further and directly rushed to Aunt Zhang's home.

It really was a rainy night. Just as his son carried Aunt Zhang on his back and walked halfway, he heard the sound of thunder striking down. Soon after, dark clouds covered the sky and raindrops the size of beans started to fall.

After arriving there, the ground under the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree was very dry. Not a single drop of rain could be seen, nor could it affect the burning of paper.

He did not care about the rain anymore and directly put Aunt Zhang down and let her sit on the ground.

However, just as Aunt Zhang touched the paper money, there was a sudden loud thunder, which made both of them tremble in fear.

Soon after, there was another flash of lightning, followed by a series of thunderclaps, one after another.

The strange thing was, as the lightning struck the ginkgo tree, he could clearly feel the ginkgo tree trembling as if it were a human. It was not the leaves on the tree swaying, but the whole tree shaking violently!

At this time, Taoist Wang's son suddenly shouted, Not good! You can't stay under a tree while the thunder is rolling! He quickly bent down and prepared to carry Aunt Zhang on his back and run out.

But it was already too late. He saw with his own eyes, a strong bolt of lightning struck Aunt Zhang, causing her body to tremble like a sieve as she laid on the ground motionlessly.

It was truly strange. After that, there was no more lightning and no more thunder. Only the sound of rain could be heard outside the tree.

He quickly brought his hand close to her nose and touched her pulse. Suddenly, his heart froze.

The Aunt Zhang was dead.

This time, he panicked and called over the Taoist Wang, asking him what to do.

Taoist Wang also muttered in his heart, the idea of worshipping the Tree God was his idea, maybe the Zhang Family would blame it on him, maybe this matter would ruin his prestige in the village for many years.

When they arrived at Aunt Zhang's house, the father and son were crying while hugging the corpse on the bed. Taoist Wang and his son stood on the side, not daring to make a sound.

At the same time, he assured the Taoist Wang that he would not tell anyone about this matter. After an agreement was reached, they all declared that the accident happened in the Aunt Zhang at night, and erased the part where they were struck by lightning.
