"We have a locust tree at the ancestral hall but this one gives me a weird feeling." Su Renshu whispered.
While locust trees were often associated with spirits, not all of them harboured lost souls and wandering ghosts. In the southern regions, locust trees were believed to be the dwelling place of ancestral spirits, providing shade and blessings to future generations.
However, the concept of Ghost Locust Trees was quite the opposite, as they attracted wandering spirits and ghosts. Once they reached maturity, they could become a threat to people.
A Ghost Locust Tree referred to the growth of a peculiar lump on the tree trunk that resembled human heads. When these nodules cracked open and revealed facial features, the locust tree became intertwined with the spirit, forming a Ghost Locust Tree. At this stage, it possessed the ability to harm people.
He patiently explained the difference to Su Renshu.
