There is a legend not only on animal-oborotnyah but even negotiable-trees. This is one of them. In the north-west of the country was a Buddhist monastery. The monk named Zhi-Tong removed every evening in the quiet cool grove, where no one can disturb, and immersed in meditation. So a few years. But one night in the monastery has a man. Before the dawn, he wandered to the monastery, shouting the name of the monk. It continued to the next, and the third night. When the third night, his voice returned to the monk cells, Tun Kyi, said: «Why did you call me? Come and ask you what you need ». Then on the eve of a substance in the six-plus Chi growth, in a black dress with a blue face, wide eyes and thick lips. Seeing a monk, he humbly hands folded in front of you. Zhi-Tong, has looked at the stranger, said: «Zamerz? - And suggested that: - Dvigaysya closer to the fire ». Stranger villages, and Zhi-Tong continued to chant sutras read. Closer to the fifth guard stranger razomlel from the fire, and close your eyes and open your mouth, loudly zahrapel. Seeing this, Tun Kyi, took a spoon to incense and threw him in the mouth a few lastminute ugolkov. Being jumped up and with a terrible voem rushed to the gate. Then, from the hill, which was located outside the monastery, donessya sounds as if someone tripped. The next morning, Zhi-Tong toured the site and found a piece of bark. In search of unknown substance, he climbed a hill and saw a few there from a big green tree-Tong with green branches, and the pothole on the roots of a tree, it seemed, was made recently. He pristavil to pocket a piece of bark and found that they are absolutely identical in size. After that, Zhi-Tong looked at the trunk of the tree. Around the middle of the trunk woodcutter vyrubil hollow depth of six tsuney. It was a ghost company, as it still tleli and mertsali lights. At that time, Tun Kyi, set fire to a tree, and the ghost never appeared in the monastery.
Malicious nature of trees to brighten the whole ghost appears when they cause disease and death. In ten there to the south of the county town of Jiao-Cheng at night often appeared ghosts, frightening people, cause diseases and even lead to death. A long time, they have caused great concern tamoshnim people, until one of them, such as walking at night past the southern tip of the city with bow and arrows, did not notice the ghost suddenly, like a giant man-dressed in red with a black scarf on his head. Sgorbivshis, ghost slowly approached him, as if drunk. Meanwhile perepugavshiysya people came to himself, pulled down the string and released the arrow. Arrow hit a ghost, and he disappeared. A farmer with all the legs to go into town and reached the restaurant, explained that it happened. The next day, to the west of the pit, surrounding the city, he saw red korichnoe tree sticking out of the trunk of an arrow, which he identified as his own. He pulled it, took the home and found blood on its tip. County authorities, who told of the case, ordered to burn down the tree, and since then the phenomenon of ghost stopped.
The trees, the ghosts can take shape and the huge black monsters. In the years Tayhe (according to legend, 827 - 836) lived a man named Jiang Xia, petty officer, in whose house were strange and mysterious things. Every night there was giant, black as coal distributing around the light. Anyone who saw him, frightened, sick and die. Then came magician and prophet Xu Yuan-Chang, who ordered the officer with the help of magical spells and amulets retribution ghost. Night-Yuan Chang sat down for the western balcony room and began to wait. Suddenly there giant. Yuan-Chan out a charm, and threw it into a monster. Amulet velikanu got in hand, this was a sound like a hand cut off, and she upada on the ground. Giant disappeared, and Yuan-Chang saw that the land upavshaya hand really is not the hand, a dry line. The next morning, the servant said to him: «Your amulet prilip to a tree that grows in severovostochnom corner». They immediately went there: the tree was otrublena branch, and in its place was the amulet. Yuan-Chang with the servant cut the tree, and since then the ghost does not concern the inhabitants of the house.
Shu Gao served as governor of District Guiyang, then he went to Yanlin, stayed there with his family and bought a box. On the field, a tree grew in the ten obhvatov. His thick krone cover a large area of land - so that it was not born bread. The owner sent a servant cut the tree. After a few blows of the ax stem red juice began to trickle.

Nevertheless, he went on the field. When started to cut down again, the blood flooded. Then Shu Gao told first to chop off a tree branch. Then at the top of the tree was visible hollow, but it - white-haired old man in the growth of four to five chi. He jumped headlong out and rushed to Shu Gao. Gao immediately of his sword. So he cut down four or five goals, and break all sitting in the hollows. All the servants to accompany his master, in fear fell prostrate on the ground, and only Shu Gao, as always, maintained a full presence of mind. He considered being a closer, but was never able to know who is in front of him - the animals or people. Since then, the tree cut down.
