Chapter 1463: Bleeding Locust Tree
Ning Shu drew a rune, and the locust tree started shaking even more violently. Then it actually broke its own branch and threw it at Ning Shu.
“Girl, dodge!” shouted the old man.
Ning Shu ducked out of the way, then saw that the branch the locust tree broke off was actually bleeding. The entire yard was filled with a thick, fishy smell of blood.
Under the effect of the rune and the Yang a.s.sembling spell formation, the locust tree swayed even more fiercely and emitted clouds of black gas. The leaves were gone and only the bare trunk was left.
Although its entire body had already become pitch black, it didn’t stop its struggles.
“Ah...!” screamed the woman in the room. Ning Shu rushed back inside and saw that the woman was sitting on the bed with her hair pointing to the sky, her lips purple, her eyes protruding, and her eyeb.a.l.l.s covered with red veins.
She vomited foul blood from her mouth. When the old man saw the situation going south, he pushed Ning Shu aside and put his hand directly into the bowl of chicken blood. Next, he pressed his blood-stained hand on the woman’s face as he said to Ning Shu, “Dip your hand in the blood and draw the rune on her feet.”
Without saying a word, Ning Shu tightly held the woman’s ankle with one hand and started drawing with the other.
The woman struggled violently. She kept kicking Ning Shu with her free foot to get free. Seeing this, the woman’s husband quickly went over and held the woman’s other foot in place.
“After you finish with her feet, draw on her legs as well,” said the old man as he continued drawing runes on the woman’s forehead.
Soon, Ning Shu finished drawing the runes all over the woman’s legs, causing the woman’s whole body to emit black gas.
Outside, the locust tree suddenly creaked, then split in two. The woman’s eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Ning Shu wasn’t finished with the runes, though. The black gas coming out of the woman’s body was getting thicker, but the blood vessels visible on her body were also slowly disappearing.
Ning Shu wanted to practice drawing runes more, so she plastered the woman’s body with runes.
“Dig up the tree. Pull it out by the roots!” said the old man. “The locust tree is a ghost tree with a great amount Yin energy, so it tends to attract ghosts. Don’t plant this kind of tree around the house.”
The owner was obviously more concerned about his wife as he asked the old man, “Is my wife alright?”
“She just needs a good rest. Paste these paper talismans on the door.” Ning Shu took out two paper talismans from her cloth bag.
The man accepted the paper talismans, then went to get some of his neighbors. The guys brought shovels and hoes and started to uproot the tree.
The locust tree was deeply rooted and covered half of the yard. Whenever its bark was broken, it would bleed and spill black blood.
The black blood was so foul and smelly, even houseflies didn’t touch it.
The old man tidied up his Daoist robe and said, “This humble Daoist will leave first.”
The owner immediately thanked the old man and asked, “How did my wife catch this tree’s attention?”
Ning Shu was also pretty curious. Why did the locust tree target the woman? Was it because of the woman’s Yin const.i.tution?
The old man said faintly, “In fact, your wife is the one who made the locust tree like this. When she had her periods, she poured the dirty blood-stained water poured on the tree after was.h.i.+ng her period cloth.”
“A woman’s menstrual blood is something with heavy Yin, and it’s also a dirty discharge. The locust tree is a ghost tree, so after absorbing these, it naturally started regarding your wife as a host.”
The old man glanced at the chicken in the yard, then stroked his beard in a wise manner and continued, “This chicken has also suffered from this event, so a service should be performed to help it find peace.”
The man quickly gave the rooster to the old man. The old man took it, shook his head with pity on his face, then shoved it into Ning Shu’s arms.
The man then gave two pumpkins, each the size of a millstone, and Ning Shu left the yard with them in her arms. Afterward, she asked the old man, “How did you know that it was because of the woman’s menstrual blood?”
