Grandma Wen’s words made Yun Wuyao feel horrified.
Little Shuangbao's face couldn't help but become solemn.
This dream was created by the locust tree spirit, which means that everything in it is related to it.
She intuitively felt that the neighbor's child and cat that Grandma Wen mentioned who died were related to the locust tree spirit.
"Your exit is at that tree." At this time, the paper man suddenly said.
As soon as it finished speaking.
The little boy who was playing with the dead cat, Xiaobao, suddenly looked straight at them.
As soon as his dark eyes saw the paper man, a green light flashed in them.
The paper man immediately burst into flames with a "ah" sound, and soon turned into a pile of ashes and fell to the ground.
Then, Xiaobao walked towards the few people with a bad look on his face. His five fingers were spread out, and gradually turned into sharp cat claws. At the same time, he grinned, revealing two sharp fangs, and his skin began to appear furry with lines, exactly like the dead cat. It was hard to tell whether the person in front of him was the child, the cat, or whether they had merged into one.
This scene made Yun Wuyao feel horrified.
"What on earth is this thing?" he couldn't help but ask.
"No matter what it is, evil spirits and monsters can never escape the law of nature!" Shuangbao's baby voice was fierce and fierce, which was inconsistent with his age. As soon as he said this, he took off the ancient bronze coin from his neck and threw it forward!
“Ahhhh!”
The ancient bronze coin hit Xiaobao's neck. He screamed immediately, and then his body turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared.
"Collect it!" Little Shuangbao said in a baby voice again, and the ancient copper coin returned to her little hand.
At this time, the tree that the paper man mentioned before, a golden light flashed on the thick trunk of the tree, and a circle of white light appeared.
"This is the exit! Let's go in quickly!" Xiao Shuangbao said, putting the ghost bride into the ancient bronze coin, and then he and Yun Wuyao supported Grandma Wen and entered the white light one after another.
Yun Wuyao felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and then he returned to the real world.
In the Jiang family's cottage.
Jiang Yao stared at Granny Wen on the bed. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "Wake up! My mother is awake!"
Then, Xiao Shuangbao and Yun Wuyao also moved and came out of the dream.
Although Granny Wen woke up, her face was extremely pale, and she looked even weaker than when she was unconscious. Her eyeballs moved, and her lips moved with difficulty as if she wanted to speak, but no words came out.
"Uncle Wuyao, Grandma Wen was used by the locust tree spirit to create dreams, and her energy and spirit were severely depleted. Can you help her and see if there are any pills we can give her to take first?" Xiao Shuangbao immediately pulled Yun Wuyao and said.
"I have it here." Ling Ge took out a brocade pouch he carried with him, poured out a pill and handed it to Jiang Yao, "Feed it to your mother. It's a pill for strengthening her body and replenishing her vital energy. It will be good for her."
"Thank you, thank you!" Jiang Yao was very grateful. He quickly took the pill and fed it to his mother.
As soon as she took the pill, Granny Wen's originally deathly complexion immediately improved a lot.
She regained consciousness.
Although still a little weak, she was able to speak at least. She said quickly, "I, I had a long nightmare. In the dream, there was a ghost bride who specialized in luring young and handsome men into marriage. Those men lost their minds and were then eaten by her! But luckily, someone rescued me... Could that dream just now be true?"
Granny Wen still couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality.
"It's true." Xiao Shuangbao came up to her and asked softly, "Grandma Wen, do you still remember the little boy named Xiaobao and the cat you saw at the end of your dream?"
"I remember, of course I remember," Granny Wen said. "That Xiaobao was the grandson of Granny Zheng next door. After he died, Granny Zheng was so grief-stricken that she fell into a coma and died a few days later. Then, Granny Zheng's son, daughter-in-law, and two other granddaughters also died one after another. Oh, how pitiful!"
After listening to this, Xiao Shuangbao understood what was going on.
The locust tree spirit must have eaten the souls of Grandma Zheng's family next door first, and then set its sights on Grandma Wen.
If Jiang Yao hadn't been lucky enough to draw the lot, I'm afraid that after Grandma Wen died, it would be Jiang Yao's turn.
The locust tree spirit is so greedy that it eats the souls of every family one by one. If it is not killed quickly, it will not be long before many more people will die.
"Brother Jiang Yao, Grandma Wen is fine for now, she's just a little weak and needs to rest for a while. You don't have to worry too much. However, the culprit who caused her coma has not been caught yet. I'm leaving now. You take good care of Grandma Wen and remember to be careful. If you encounter anything unusual, go to the restaurant or the Yun family to find me immediately." Xiao Shuangbao instructed Jiang Yao.
"Okay, I'll remember it!" Jiang Yao was very smart and nodded in agreement immediately.
Ling Ge left a bottle of pills for strengthening the body and wrote a prescription for Jiang Yao, then left with Yun Wuyao.
Xiao Shuangbao walked out with Ye Yuaner and Ruoer.
As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he glanced at Ruo'er, slapped his forehead, remembered something, and hurried back to Jiang Yao and said, "There's something I forgot to tell you! Your fiancée has been having an affair with someone else without your knowledge, and now she's pregnant. She's trying to delay the wedding and plans to marry you after the child is born. Then she'll find an excuse to convince you to take her child home to raise.
"Brother Jiang Yao, you are a smart man. You should know how to deal with this kind of thing. I won't say much!"
Jiang Yao was stunned when he heard this.
Then a bitter smile appeared on his face: "I understand, thank you, little saint. I will find an opportunity to cancel the engagement tomorrow."
"Yeah!" Xiao Shuangbao nodded, and then left with peace of mind.
The next step is to find out where the locust tree spirit is.
Many people have locust trees in their yards, but the ghost bride said before that this is a thousand-year-old locust tree spirit, and there are not many with such a long history.
What Xiao Shuangbao was worried about was that if the thousand-year-old locust tree spirit was stationed in the city, no one knew how far its roots would spread. Half of Jincheng was probably under its roots. If the thousand-year-old locust tree spirit could not be killed in one blow, many people would suffer.
"Grandmaster, what should I do next?" She couldn't figure it out herself, so she simply called for help and summoned Qin Cheng out, and told him her concerns.
"Find out its location first, then I'll help you." Qin Cheng said.
