I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that I had guessed correctly.

Then, everything around me disappeared in an instant, and I was back in the river.

My whole body was immersed in the water, and only my mouth and nose were exposed.

As the water flowed, my mouth and nose would be submerged from time to time.

Thankfully, I came out of my hallucination in time, otherwise I would have drowned here today.

I crawled out of the river in a daze.

It's summer, but the river is cold, and I'm about to freeze.

I sat down by the river and rubbed my body to ease myself a little, then I got up and walked upstream to the village.

When I passed by the entrance of the village, I saw that Zhao Bufan was still urging the formation, looking for the resentful ghosts that did not exist.

I sneered and thought to myself: what an idiot. Just this thing, can it also represent the famous and decent? If the dust-free mountains were all like this, I wouldn't have to be afraid.

I went straight to the pregnant woman's house.

When the man heard the footsteps, he immediately rushed out with a kitchen knife.

He looked at me wary.

The needle in the man's body has fallen off. It is estimated that the pregnant woman helped him pull it off.

After the needle was removed, he was free.

After all, I didn't want his life when I pricked the needle, otherwise, if my needle pricked, with the cultivator's internal strength, his acupuncture points would be directly destroyed, and even if the needle was pulled out, it would not work.

The man looked at me warily: "What do you want to do?" ”

I ignored him, just stuck a needle in my hand.

He fell limply to the ground again.

There's no need to waste time with people like that. Maximizing efficiency is the most important thing to do.

I walked briskly into the house, and the pregnant woman looked at me nervously.

I stared at her and said faintly, "Your resentment is very heavy." Isn't it too heavy? ”

The pregnant woman looked at me a little panicked: "What did you say?" I don't understand. ”

I laughed: "Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused?" ”

I took out a candle, lit it, and walked over to the pregnant woman.

The candle flickered and suddenly went out.

I said to the pregnant woman, "You are full of death. I can't even light a candle. You're dead. ”

"I originally thought that the dead air on your body was made by the fetus, but now it seems that this is not the case."

The pregnant woman's face suddenly turned very pale, and she looked at me in horror: "Am I already dead?" ”

I frowned: "You really don't know? ”

The pregnant woman shook her head.

I asked her, "The three ghosts by the river, didn't you conjure them up?" ”

The pregnant woman hesitated and said, "Are there really three ghosts?" I've only seen them in my dreams. ”

"Every night as soon as I close my eyes, I dream of them. Those dreams were horrible, scary. I kept hiding in a room and didn't dare to go out. ”

At this moment, I suddenly figured everything out.

The pregnant woman was dead, but she didn't know she was dead.

She thought she was dreaming, but in fact, all her resentment was reflected in the way of dreams.

In the dream, her three dead daughters turned into ghosts.

When she was alive, she wanted a son. But the persecution of her mother-in-law and husband made her dislike this son deep in her heart.

So in the dream, her consciousness is reflected on the three resentful ghosts.

The three demons snatched his son's spirit, trapped him by the river, and tried to kill him.

But a pregnant woman is a mother after all. There is a natural desire to protect children.

Therefore, she conjured up Guanyin again to protect the negative interest.

This is a very contradictory person, and it is precisely because of this contradiction that the negative interest has survived and has a glimmer of life.

The pregnant woman was still looking at me in panic: "Am I really dead?" ”

I nodded slowly: "You're dead, but it's strange, why can't your soul linger?" ”

I walked up to the pregnant woman suspiciously, and said a little puzzled: "It stands to reason that when a person dies, the soul will leave the body. But your soul seems to be in your body. ”

At this time, through the light overhead, I saw a white point of light flashing on the pregnant woman's wrist.

My heart moved, and I grabbed her hand and looked at it carefully.

It's not a white spot at all, it's a needle, and the spot of light just now is just a reflection.

The needle has been completely inserted into the woman's wrist.

My heart moved, and I said to the pregnant woman, "Do you have a similar needle in your body?" ”

The pregnant woman was a little confused and said, "Yes." But do these needles have a lot to do with me? ”

She was already in a bit of a trance and speechless.

But this is also normal, whoever suddenly hears that he is dead will also be this virtue.

I checked it a little and got it roughly figured out.

Before the pregnant woman died, someone sealed her soul with a needle.

Sealed her soul in her body.

So even though she is dead, she can act like a living person everywhere.

I was silent for a while, and then said to the pregnant woman, "Who pricked you with these needles?" ”

The pregnant woman looked ahead in a daze, as if she didn't hear me.

I shook her body vigorously, "Who pierced you?" ”

The pregnant woman suddenly came back to her senses and said to me, "It's an old way. ”

I asked, "What kind of old way is it?" ”

The pregnant woman thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. ”

"At that time, I had just become pregnant, and my man kept scolding me, saying that I couldn't have another son this time, so he drove me away."

"I kept crying, crying, and then I got seriously ill and couldn't live anymore."

"At this time, there was an old saying in the family, saying that after giving me an injection, I can not only live, but also guarantee that I will give birth to a son."

"I was dying at that point. It was my man who gave him a needle. ”

"But after the needles, I really got better day by day. We also went to the hospital in the town for a check-up, and the doctor said it was a boy. ”

I nodded slowly.

I said to the pregnant woman, "You've been deceived. That old way has no power to save you. He's just trapped your soul in your body. ”

"As long as your soul is still there, your physical body will be basically functioning. The fetus in your womb is likely to grow day by day. But ......"

The rest of the words, I didn't say.

Because even if the child is reluctantly born, the child will have to continue to devour the soul all his life, what's the use of tossing like this?

I don't believe that the old way really wants to do good deeds, which is clearly harmful.

The pregnant woman he harmed couldn't survive, couldn't die, let her give birth to a demon fetus that was not a ghost or a ghost, did he have enough to eat?

I asked the pregnant woman, "Do you know where that old way comes from?" ”

The pregnant woman shook her head: "I don't know, I don't know anything." The old man helped me get the needle and left, and he didn't even collect the money. ”

I nodded slowly.

There is no money collected, which is even more suspicious.

I suspect that Lao Dao's purpose is not to be pregnant at all, but to have a demon fetus in his womb.

What does he want to do with the demon fetus?

I thought about it for a while, but I still couldn't figure it out.

I simply didn't want to think about it, and reached out to take out Xia Tian's soul.

This time, without Zhao Bufan making trouble next to me, I successfully put Xia Tian's soul on the spirit charm and hid it properly on my body.

After going back, turn the spell away, and Xia Tian's soul can naturally go back.

As a result, I had just put away the charm when I heard footsteps outside.

I turned around and saw that it was Zhao Bufan who had returned.

He looked at me coldly: "The gambling contract is not over yet, have you taken out the soul first?" You've broken the rules, but don't blame me for being rude. ”

I laughed and asked, "Did you find those four ghosts?" ”

Zhao Bufan was silent.

I said faintly, "You didn't find it, but I did." ”

Zhao Bufan looked at me in surprise: "Where is it?" ”

I pointed to the pregnant woman next to me: "What a ghost, it's all fake." Everything was conjured up by her. ”

Zhao Bufan snorted coldly: "You fart, you leave your soul for me." ”

Then, he rushed over with his sword.

I was a little annoyed and said, "I'll tell you, if you don't listen, do you have to use weapons with me?" ”

I flashed my body, let go of his sword, and punched him in the heart.

Zhao Bufan snorted, and his body staggered backwards again and again.

And I had already followed, and reached out and grabbed him by the throat.

I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with him either. Directly shouted: "Tell me, who is the person who pricked the pregnant woman with the needle?" Tell me why you want to keep his fetus. ”
