I only remember that ever since I was very young, there was this willow tree in front of my grandmother's house. When I was young, I used to climb it quite a bit, but this willow tree was a bit strange, unlike other trees.
This tree, if accidentally broken, will have a red liquid, like blood, so I rarely touch it, red, always gives people a sense of insecurity and fear.
It is also easy to associate it with blood.
After listening to her grandma's story, Lin Dan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed even more.
Lin Dan didn't say much in front of his grandmother, she only said that she would go and have a look, and since I wasn't at ease with her, I said my greetings to his grandmother before following her out.
Seeing Lin Dan, I discovered that her expression had become much heavier than before. I know that even though Danshen doesn't have very powerful Tao Arts, she had still grown up alongside the Daoist since young, so she should have more experience than us.
"Danshen, do you know something?"
Hearing my voice, Danshen turned around and looked at me, nodded, and then shook her head, "We'll talk after Senior Brother comes. This time, the trouble might be a little big, even Senior Brother might not be able to get rid of it!"
"Is it that serious?" I knew that this matter was a little difficult, but I never thought that it would be so serious as what Danshen said.
"Look at the sky. Isn't it very gloomy, and Black Qi is faintly appearing? "
I looked up at the sky. Indeed, it was as Lin Dan had said, the entire sky was gloomy, very stuffy, very depressing, and also had an uneasy feeling.
If Lin Dan hadn't said so, I wouldn't have noticed. But from the looks of it, it seemed to be even more serious than what she had said.
Could this have something to do with the object on the ground?
Danshen told me that there are two kinds of evil beings, evil beings and normal beings. Evil beings are used to harm people, while normal objects are used to suppress evil beings.
Grandma treated this as a story, but Danshen and I did not, we knew that what she said was the truth, and the thing under the willow tree could possibly be the jade pendant left behind by the old Taoist.
"I've seen Danshen, what should we do now?"
Since it's related to my grandmother, I feel a little out of control. At this moment, Lin Dan has actually become my only life-saving straw.
"I don't know either. If those things were to come out from the ground, perhaps this village would …" "After all, debts must be paid. As the descendants of those who dug up the graves, the villagers naturally …"
Lin Dan didn't finish her words, but I understood the meaning behind her words.
"How about this, I'll go and make some preparations. When my grandma gets better, we'll take her and leave!"
"Alright!" Lin Dan's method was undoubtedly the only method that she could use right now.
The sky was getting darker. Lin Dan and I were lying beside Grandma's bed, and after a while, we felt a wave of sleepiness come over. I covered my mouth, yawned twice, and fell asleep beside her bed.
In his dreams, he saw a large courtyard. The woman was knitting against the wall while the man's yard was growing a small vegetable. They smiled at each other as they were watering.
After a while, the scene changed. The man was holding the woman in his arms as the two of them stood in the courtyard. The woman seemed to be crying.
As the man consoled them, the two of them kneeled on the ground again, facing towards the sky as if they were praying for something.
Then, he saw the man personally plant a willow tree and bury a clay doll under the tree root. The man personally planted a willow tree and then bury a clay doll under the tree root.
Then, with a twist of the picture, under the man's willow tree, a baby appeared. It was a boy, but he was alone.
He didn't know if it was abandoned or what was going on …
As the boy grew older, he continued to look for something until he came to the big yard again. Why did it look like it before? Because the willow tree, after living in the yard for a few days, he chopped at the willow tree with an axe. The willow tree bled and the boy fell to the ground.
Then, the scene changed. A very beautiful woman, with a beautiful smile and a smile that could topple nations, met a handsome man on the way to a playground.
Not long after, the two of them fell in love.
They looked just like the couple in the dream. However, their statuses had changed. The girl was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Estate, and the man was the current prince.
The two of them loved each other very much. Soon, under the orders of their parents and the arrangements of the matchmaker, the two of them became husband and wife.
Women especially liked willow trees, especially that long willow tree on their doorstep. When a man saw a woman like it, he built an autumn rack for her on the willow branch.
When the woman was fine, she would sit on the swing and sway. When the man was fine, she would gently push him from behind. When the woman smiled, she looked very pretty. Her name was Liu Yan, but the man seemed to prefer to call her lass.
Afterwards, for some reason, the woman's face became paler day by day, but she still liked to play by the willow tree. Even though she was weak, she still wanted to lean against the willow tree and hug the tree trunk.
Not long after, the woman died of an illness.
The prince knelt beside the willow tree, holding his lover's body and crying incessantly.
This scene gave me a very familiar feeling, as though I had seen it somewhere.
Later on, the man was unwilling to be reincarnated again. Worried that he would miss out on his beloved person, he began to recruit Daoists without restraint. He was prepared to learn magic techniques from them so that he wouldn't die of old age.
At the same time, he recruited many laborers to help him build a mausoleum.
Then the dream blurred, and I didn't see what happened to the man.
Just as I was feeling curious, a distant voice sounded by my ear: "Yanyan, do you still remember me? "I am Ouyang. Do you still remember the oath we made and the willow trees we planted?"
"Yanyan, you're finally back. I've waited very hard for you!"
Hearing the voice, I couldn't help but be confused. However, I couldn't open my mouth to ask the question …
The man's voice was full of helplessness and longing: "Yanyan, I've already helped you settle this situation. I will wait for you to think of me, then go find me …"
Who is it?
Why does this sound sound so familiar to me?
Who was he?
"Lingyue, Lingyue, wake up, it's not good …"
Just as I was struggling over who the man was, Lin Dan's voice sounded out, and after a burst of pushing, I woke up from my dream.
"What's wrong, Danshen?"
Looking at her anxious expression, I, who was still sleepy, was still unable to react.
"Look, Grandma's gone!"
As Lin Dan said that, she pointed to the empty bed. I didn't see my grandmother's figure, so I immediately woke up. I couldn't help but feel my heart tighten, and I immediately had a bad premonition.
"Hey, Qing Qing, you shouldn't have come back!"
Qin Yize's voice once again rang out in my mind. Hearing this sigh, I had already understood that this matter should not be that simple.
"Qin Yize, tell me, where is my grandma?"
