Chapter 5: Ghost Baby Mother-in-law
Just as I was intoxicated by this wonderful feeling, suddenly a cold voice came from the mountain.
"Where did the little Taoist priest come from, dare to spoil the good deeds of your mother-in-law, and I will definitely take the lives of both of you tonight."
The sound was like the hoarse barking of a female cat in the middle of the night, and it was uncomfortable and frightening to hear. I woke up suddenly, returned to reality, and quickly leaned closer to my brother's side, and looked around cautiously.
"Take our little life? I'm afraid that the Ten Palaces and Yan Jun won't dare, do you think I don't know who you are? Some accounts are due to be settled. ”
The senior brother looked up at the cave halfway up the mountain, his eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a strong evil aura.
I was suddenly infected by my brother's domineering words, and I also straightened up my waist and looked towards the cave. But there was nothing at the mouth of the cave, and it was assumed that the owner of the voice must be in the cave.
"The hair hasn't grown up, and the tone is not small, how deep can you be at a young age. If it weren't for ......"
Halfway through the words, the voices in the cave stopped abruptly and did not continue.
"You will die tonight, Little Zero, let's go." The senior brother squinted his eyes and said, then withdrew his gaze, turned around and strode away.
Naturally, I didn't dare to stay long, so I quickly followed. I thought to myself that the first sentence of the senior brother was simply angry, domineering and exposed, and I thought he was going to do it, but suddenly why did he withdraw without looking back? Could it be that he was just trying to frighten the person who claimed to be his mother-in-law in the cave?
"Mother-in-law? The people in the cave call themselves mothers-in-law? Could it be ......?"
My nerves were at a high level just now, and then I remembered the old grandmother my father had talked about.
And the senior brother said that he wanted to settle accounts with her, it seems that the strange things that have happened in the village in the past few years must be her ghost, but isn't that grandma already missing? Has she been hiding in the hole all this time?
I bowed my head and thought silently, walking side by side with my senior brother.
When my senior brother saw that I bowed my head and was silent, he immediately guessed what I was thinking.
He said: "That old woman has been in the cave all along, and the ghost baby she raised can confuse people's minds, so uncles naturally can't see her when they enter the cave." ”
"Ghost baby? What is that? Is it a baby who becomes a ghost? There are ghosts in the world! I quickly asked.
"Pretty much, but not all babies die and become ghost babies. Unnatural death, which is full of resentment when you die, is a necessary condition for the formation of a ghost baby. The senior brother replied.
I was still in a fog, so I was about to open my mouth again, but I was about to open my mouth, but I heard the senior brother continue to explain:
"The so-called unnatural death, that is, the baby is not sick or died in an accident, mainly refers to human factors, such as abortion, abandonment and death by parents, which will make the baby's ghost breed a strong resentment, causing their soul to not dissipate on its own and stay in the yang world. In particular, the pregnant woman was mutilated, resulting in one corpse and two lives, and the resentment of the ghost baby was particularly strong. But there are no ghost babies who have been raised by ghost keepers, they have no consciousness, and they only act on obsession, and they will not harm unrelated people. Under the guidance of the underworld, it will also re-enter the reincarnation of the underworld, and will soon exist in the yang world. ”
"In other words, that old woman, no, is it the old woman, she is a ghost keeper, and she also has a ghost baby?"
I felt like my old worldview had collapsed in an instant, and these things that could only be seen in movies really existed, and they were still in our village.
"Yes, it is not easy to raise a ghost baby, and the ghost keeper needs to control the three souls and seven spirits of the ghost baby when it is not discovered by the yin difference, hide its breath, and then every night when it is ugly, that is, from one to three o'clock in the middle of the night, in the pure yin land, the body of the baby in his arms lasts for ten months, and it will not be interrupted for a day, so that the ghost baby mistakenly recognizes the ghost person as his mother and listens to his dispatch."
After my brother finished speaking, a terrifying picture involuntarily appeared in my mind:
In the gloomy midnight, a wrinkled old woman, holding a dead baby in her arms, slowly swayed from side to side, grinning at me with her black teeth exposed.
I felt the hairs on my body stand up involuntarily in an instant, my back was cold, and I quickly quickened my pace, walked sideways in front of my senior brother, unconsciously turned my head quietly, and glanced in the direction of Beiquan from above my senior brother's shoulder.
"Your imagination is inevitably too rich, although the yin qi is very strong in Beiquan, but this is broad daylight, what are you afraid of? Even if the ghost baby comes out at this time, its strength will be suppressed, not to mention that the ghost baby was not in the cave at all just now, and I still know some of the details of this ghost baby's mother-in-law. My brother rolled his eyes at me.
I thought to myself: No wonder the senior brother said when he first arrived in Beiquan that he knew who did it, it turned out that he had already known the identity of the other party, but why did this ghost baby mother-in-law choose to settle down with us? Why does Senior Brother say that Beiquan's Yin Qi is heavy?
I withdrew my gaze from Beiquan, slowed down, and walked side by side with my senior brother to ask my question.
"On the way to find you, I heard people mention that there is a ghost keeper in the northwest who calls himself a ghost baby mother-in-law, who specializes in looking for the souls of babies who died unexpectedly, and even killed pregnant women in a frenzy in order to get the strongest ghost baby, and was insidious and cunning, and was chased and killed by the people in the Taoist sect for more than half a month, but she still escaped by luck, but the three ghost babies she raised, all of them were beaten and scattered, and none of them were left. As for the North Spring, I don't know much, except that it originally existed in the underworld. This time the sudden appearance of the yang world, the master was unexpected, and it should have a lot to do with you. ”
"What's the connection?"
This question has bothered me for many years, and Beiquan and I must have had an inexplicable connection, otherwise the master would not have let me stare at the spring for eight years.
But whenever I asked the master, he wouldn't say much, saying that the time had not yet come, and it would be useless to say more.
Now that I hear my brother talk about it, I am naturally ready to break the casserole and ask to the end.
"This master didn't tell me, I can't see it through at the moment."
Senior brother Wen Crepe's two sentences made my fiery heart cool by half.
"But the master said ......"
"What else did the master say?"
Without waiting for the senior brother to finish speaking, I quickly asked excitedly. After asking, I felt that this was very rude, so I could only smile and signal the senior brother to continue.
The senior brother was not angry, and continued:
"The master said that no matter what happens to Beiquan, you only need to give you a wisp of his Dao Qi, I must not do it, as for the Dao Qi, it is the Qi that our cultivators draw into the body, remove the pollution, preserve its essence, and leave the heaven and earth aura in the body."
Senior brother Xu was afraid that I would ask again, so he explained the origin of Dao Qi to me at one time.
It dawned on me that it was no wonder that the breath that my brother injected into my head was so magical, and there were some of the master's breath back then, which turned out to be a wisp of Dao qi from the master to the senior brother.
After the senior brother finished talking this time, I didn't ask any more questions, although I was very interested in what Dao Qi and Quanling were, but I still didn't have a clue about what I was thinking about, and I was inevitably a little blocked in my heart, and I didn't want to ask again, so I walked forward dejectedly.
"Little Zero, there will be a day when things in the world will be cleared, and solving the ghost baby mother-in-law is the top priority, do you want to see your village look like this in the future?" The senior brother probably saw that I was depressed, so he changed the subject.
"Of course not!" I shouted and looked at him with wide eyes, excited.
"Since you don't want to, then cheer up, you and I will go to Beiquan together tonight, and we will definitely give this village a piece of life."
When the senior brother said this, we had already walked to the door of my house, I didn't speak, I nodded to the senior brother, and a wave of pride welled up in my heart.
