Chapter 136: Demon Wind
“They are all hearsay, Miss Green Sleeve, don’t scare yourself. Besides, you’re part of the Bai family, a renowned Demon Exorcising Family. What kind of demon would dare to violate this place, risking their own life?” Shen Luo consoled.
“Well, that’s true, hahaha… Anyway, as long as it’s not a Demonic Being, common monsters and ghosts can be easily destroyed by a single elder or family head from our family.” The young girl laughed upon hearing this.
Hearing this, Shen Luo frowned slightly and asked tentatively, “Miss Green Sleeve, do you know about the exorcism conducted by the Bai family back in the day?”
“That was more than a hundred years ago. Besides the elders, only the aged people in the family know the details, and I naturally know even less. However, I have heard some rumors about exorcism recently. How much of it is true or false, I don’t know.” Green Sleeve pondered for a while before changing the subject.
“Since we’re free, why don’t you tell me about it?” Shen Luo adopted a curious look.
Updated by ℕovG○.co “Alright, then I’ll tell you. Outside Jianye City, near Purple Cloud Mountain, there is a village named Taoyuan Village…” Green Sleeve seemed to have opened a box of stories and began to narrate diligently.
As it turned out, in this place called Taoyuan Village, there has been a huge Pan Peach tree since ancient times. The villagers have multiplied for generations but don’t know when this ancient tree originated. They only know that the tree is at least a thousand years old.
Legend has it that the Pan Peach tree blooms every year, but it never bears fruit. Although the villagers were puzzled, they regarded the ancient tree as a sign of good fortune and took good care of it.
However, one year, when the peach blossoms were blooming most magnificently, a demon wind suddenly descended from the sky, shrouded in thick black smoke which surrounded the peach tree. The villagers could not approach, and the branches and leaves of the peach tree quickly decayed and fell.
