Chapter Fifty-Six: Mind Your Things
The soul child, in my impression, should be similar to the so-called raising a little ghost.
However, later, after Wu Jiu gave me a deep explanation, I realized that the soul boy and the little ghost were in the same place, but they were much stronger than the little ghost's yin qi.
Raising ghosts is one of the most common ways to raise ghosts. Breeders only need to use some special methods to raise the soul of a baby who has just died in a humanoid vessel, and then regularly feed on their own blood to raise the imps.
And the soul raising child is very different from the little ghost.
The soul child needs to take the soul of the deceased child with the body, and then store it in a clay coffin to soak it in a specially configured liquid. However, the feeding method is the same as that of the imps, feeding on the blood of the keepers.
Little ghosts, because they only have souls, so the resentment only accumulates, and the impact on the breeder and his family is not great.
But because the soul child has both soul and body, the resentment accumulated on its body will be transformed into an invisible anger that permeates the entire room, so as to indirectly absorb the yang energy of all the people living in the house.
And under the nourishment of these human body yang energy, the soul child's intelligence will also continue to develop. Therefore, the Soul Child will be more spiritual than the Imp. On the contrary, if the soul boy gets angry, the level of horror will be several times higher than that of the little ghost.
Moreover, there is another fatal drawback of raising the soul child, that is, when the breeding time reaches ten years, if the blood supply of the feeding object is not gradually increased, it is likely to make the soul child in the pottery coffin love its master. Even the family members of the breeders will suffer.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the term "soul child" has gradually been forgotten in the crowd. But now that I have met a family that raises a soul child, I really don't know if it's luck or disaster.
Just now, Wu Jiu had already used a special method to discover that in the old woman's body, there was a ghost aura that had lasted for more than ten years. In this way, the soul child keeper in this clay coffin should be the old lady we saw.
Moreover, according to Wu Jiu's speculation, the soul boy who appeared in front of us at this moment has definitely been raised for ten years. As for whether there are any strange changes in it, we have to find out from the old woman in detail before we can make a conclusion.
"Boy, you put a soul talisman on the door of this room first, and then we will meet this old woman who raises soul children." With that, Wu Jiu left this ghostly room before me. As for me, I hurriedly took out two runes from my pocket and stuck them on the door, and then ran out of the room with a smoke.
The reason why Wu Jiu wanted to talk to the old woman was because the current soul child had been raised in her home for ten years, and if her supply for the soul child was insufficient, it would most likely cause the soul child to leave the clay coffin to find food by himself.
And the disappearance of the old woman's grandson may be related to the soul child in this clay coffin. After all, when the soul boy is hungry, he doesn't care about any human feelings such as nurturing kindness.
"How's it going, have you seen clearly, have you found any clues about my grandson?" As her eyes wandered, the old woman saw us coming down the stairs, so she asked casually, and then turned her head timidly.
Seeing the old woman's trance-like expression, Wu Jiu could immediately conclude that the soul boy in the room must have a close relationship with the old woman.
"We didn't find any clues about your grandson, but we found one of the soul children who had been resentful for ten years? How, do you need us to help you bring it here? Slowly sitting opposite the old woman, Wu Jiu stared at the old woman with a pair of eyes, sneered, and replied.
After hearing Wu Jiu's words, the old woman's expression immediately became nervous, and at this moment, the old woman's eyes seemed to be avoiding Wu Jiu's gaze intentionally or unintentionally.
"What, what kind of soul child, I haven't heard of it at all, I asked you to help me find my grandson, don't worry about other things!" Although the old woman was still pretending to be calm on the surface, the cold sweat on her forehead that oozed from panic showed the fear in her heart at the moment.
"You don't have to hide it anymore, if I'm not mistaken, that soul boy who has been resentful for ten years should now have the idea of preparing to fight back against his master." His eyes were locked on the old woman's body, only to find that as soon as Wu Jiu's words fell, the old woman's body immediately shivered with panic.
At this point, the old woman no longer concealed it, and then gave Wu Jiu a thumbs up, and in a very low voice, she praised Wu Jiu: "Master, I don't know if you can save my life?" ”
"You just kept silent about the soul child, is it that the soul child has given you a death order, as long as you dare to say it, I will kill you immediately?" The old woman didn't answer Wu Jiu's words, but just nodded vigorously.
Then, the old woman glanced up the stairs leading to the third floor, and then slowly stood up, and pulled me and Wu Jiu all the way to a remote room called me, and then said to Wu Jiu with a mysterious face: "The master's guess is not true, I don't know if there is any way to save me?" ”
"It's not that there is no solution, but you have to tell me everything about the soul child, otherwise, I can't do anything." Looking at the old woman in front of her, who had disappeared from the domineering appearance just now, the corners of Wu Jiu's mouth provoked a faint sneer and explained.
"Hey!" Hearing this, the old woman let out a long sigh, and after a long time, she opened her mouth to say: "The matter of the soul child dates back to ten years ago, when our family's business was still in its infancy. Because it is a new brand, many people can't accept it, and because of this, the sound of our family is declining. I was thinking of changing careers and engaging in other careers, but at this time, a traveling Taoist priest came to my home. And told us that only one soul child needs to be raised, and the current situation of our family can be greatly improved. ”
"Daoist? What Taoist? "After hearing the words 'You Fang Daoist', Wu Jiu's expressions and I became a lot more surprised.
I remember that raising soul children is an evil technique, and how can Taoist priests like us who cultivate the Fa-rectification have such strange techniques. If someone from the cult pretends to be a Taoist priest, that's it. But if it's really a Taoist priest who is preaching evil magic everywhere, then we must find him and eradicate this scourge for the Yin and Yang Realm.
"The Taoist priest didn't say his name, but I remember that he was very thin, had two mustaches, and spoke rather harshly, like a eunuch." As she spoke, the old woman took out a black rune from her pocket, handed it to Wu Jiu's hand, and explained, "This was drawn to me by the Taoist priest at the beginning, and it is also evidence of the contract between me and the soul child. ”
Holding the rune in his hand, Wu Jiu looked it up and down, and then his expression immediately became angry. However, instead of being furious as before, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said to the old woman in front of him, "You go on. ”
"From the moment the rune took effect, the soul child raised in my house also began to exert power. Soon, my family's business changed a lot and grew bigger and bigger until where it is today. As she spoke, the old woman's expression became angry: "However, that Taoist priest didn't tell me at the beginning that in ten years, the amount of blood required by the soul child would increase dramatically, so that it reached a point that I could not accept. ”
"Helplessly, I had to go to the hospital to buy a blood bag to raise it, but every time I bought blood, it would return to me intact, and when it returned to blood the day before yesterday, it also reminded me with blood on the blood packet: If I don't feed it my blood, it will have to take it by itself." At this point, the old woman could no longer hold back the fear in her heart, and then she covered her face with her hands and sobbed softly.
"Do you think the soul boy eats all kinds of blood? He is very picky, except for the blood of the keeper, the rest is filthy garbage in his eyes. Shaking his head helplessly, Wu Jiu smiled bitterly, and then whispered sarcastically.
"Master, please help me, that soul boy has been harassing me every day for the past two days, and I can't support it anymore." After listening to Wu Jiu's words, the old woman sobbed and pleaded with Wu Jiu, and while speaking, she was still deliberately lowering her voice, as if she was afraid of the soul child on the third floor.
"Okay, you don't have to lower your voice anymore, the soul child who has been resentful for ten years, his hearing is quite strong, he is on the third floor, and he can hear the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings on the first floor clearly, do you think your voice can be lower than that of mosquitoes?" Shaking his head helplessly, Wu Jiu took the opportunity to stuff the hungry black rune in his hand back into the old woman's hand.
"Master, as long as you can save me, you can pay as much as you want." Suppressing the fear in her heart a little, the old woman asked eagerly.
"It's no problem to help you, and I don't want any compensation, it's just that after this soul boy leaves your family, your family is likely to change dramatically, I don't know if you can accept it?" Wu Jiu's words are actually hinting at the old woman, after all, if a soul child who has been "blessed" his family for a long time is taken away, then there will be a vacancy in his family, and who will fill this vacancy is not something that Wu Jiu can say.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the soul boy can leave, even if the family is bankrupt, I can accept it." As the words came out, the old woman became more resolute.
"Okay, in that case, then I'll take care of things for a while today." With a wry smile, Wu Jiu slowly stood up, and then took me all the way to the third floor.
I am deeply puzzled by Wu Jiu's approach, in my memory, Wu Jiu is a guy who regards money as his life, without money, if you want to use him, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
But now Wu Jiu has taken on a task that has worked in vain, is he looking at his head to show off?
However, later, I dispelled this idea because of Wu Jiu's answer. He told me that since the Taoist priest wanted to raise a soul child in this house, he must have an ulterior purpose. Perhaps, we can still fish for a good thing in the soul child's body.
Soon we came to the third floor, only to find that the atmosphere on the third floor had changed a lot compared to before, and we could clearly feel that a strong ghost aura was overflowing from the room at the end of the corridor unscrupulously.
Looking down, I only found that at this moment, pools of red blood were slowly flowing out of the crack in the door, dyeing the brown-yellow wooden floor with a layer of dazzling red.
"Boy, it seems that this soul boy already knows the purpose of our visit, so it has begun to resist." With a weird cold smile, Wu Jiu took out four thunder rods from his pocket and held them tightly in his hand.
On the side, I was already holding the runes in my pocket tightly, ready to go.
Slowly stepped forward and opened the door, only to find that the two cold candles with blue and green light had been extinguished by a thick yin qi at this moment.
And behind the cold candle, at this moment, there is a soul boy with a faint blue light squatting on the clay coffin, as for its blood-red eyes, it is now staring at us who push the door in, as if declaring war on us.
