The little boy raised his head slightly, rubbed his eyes, and said, "My godfather gave me the name Gan Jiu, but the people in the village call me Ghost Baby, I don't know why they call me that, but I like this name now." ”

"Gan Jiu...... "My heart suddenly became hot, my name is Chu Qi, this name was casually called by the people in the village, because I was picked up by Grandpa Sun on the seventh day of Chu Jiu, and this little boy is called Gan Jiu, Gan is the surname of Ganshui Village, that Jiu...... Could it be that he was picked up by Gan Shunyu on the ninth day of the first month?

Although I also know that this idea is a bit ridiculous, but I am more affectionate to this little boy in my heart, but everyone here calls him a ghost baby, perhaps because of his yin and yang eyes.

The ghost baby grinned and said, "Isn't my name strange?" In fact, when my godfather found me, I was nine years old, and my godfather said that the name was not good or bad, so he named me Ganjiu, and now four years have passed, and I am used to another name 'Ghost Baby', and my uncle can also call me that. ”

"Uh......" I couldn't help but be speechless, the ghost baby's reaction was so fast, and the ability to comprehend was amazing, I was just a little confused, and he immediately relieved the puzzle in my heart for me, and he spoke in a very calm tone, not like the character he should have at his age, living like a little adult, just ...... The innate aura is too powerful, right?!

"Four years...... So you're thirteen years old? ”

I smiled, I couldn't see that the ghost baby didn't look like a thirteen-year-old, probably because his appearance was a little peculiar.

The ghost baby then looked at me, and then said very seriously: "Uncle, the aura on your body is very strange, I have never seen anyone with such a powerful aura as you, you are definitely not an ordinary person, but there is no immortal family around you, the aura on your body makes me feel very empty, but it is also very comfortable, are you a Taoist?" ”

"Uh......" I was speechless again, and after a short period of distraction, I immediately nodded and said, "You are right, I am a disciple of Maoshan Mountain!" ”

"Huh? Uncle, are you really a cultivator?! ”

As soon as the ghost baby heard what I had said, she jumped out of bed and came to me with excitement on her face, staring at me with a blank eye.

The previous surprise had not yet been digested by me, and the strange expression that the ghost baby gave me at the moment was even more puzzling, I thought about it for a while, and said, "Well, I am indeed a cultivator, why are you asking me this?" ”

"I want to ...... I want to worship you as a teacher and follow you to cultivate the Immortal Dao! ”

Without warning, the ghost baby knelt on her knees and said with a serious and sincere expression.

I hurriedly picked up the ghost baby and said with an embarrassed face: "This ...... Ghost baby, I think my cultivation is still shallow, how can I be qualified to accept any apprentices, your understanding is very high, if you follow me, you will destroy your foundation! ”

The ghost baby immediately said urgently: "I have seen too many things, and I have seen too many life and death, although I am only thirteen years old, but everything I have seen has made me have no nostalgia for the world, I want to pursue real things in my future life, that is, the Tao, please accept me......"

Seeing that the ghost baby was about to kneel again, I was also anxious, my mind was in a hurry, I shook off the ghost baby, and said coldly: "I won't accept you!" ”

The angry shout, sure enough, played a role, the ghost baby instantly quieted down, I secretly glanced at him, he was standing timidly with his head down and wiping his tears, suddenly remembered that the bearded man let me into the house, I softened my tone slightly, and said, "Your godfather asked me to come in to see you, are you hungry?" Shall I get you something to eat? ”

"If you don't let me follow you to cultivate, I won't eat ......"

The ghost baby choked up, her voice was extremely aggrieved, I sighed lightly, I didn't know what to say for a while, Gan Shunyu was really a blessing in disguise, where did he pick up such a living treasure?

This kid is obviously on the same page with me, it's hard to imagine that after less than half an hour of getting along, he actually started to threaten me, and he actually thought that I would definitely eat him, what a villain......

Finally ate a meal with a beard, the so-called eaters have a soft mouth, and the beard is drunk, I can't be hungry The boy is not, in order to break the deadlock, I turned around and sat down on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile: "Ghost baby, where were you found by your godfather?" Also, what about your previous home? ”

The ghost baby breathed a sigh of relief, and also sat down next to me, with an extremely indifferent expression, the worst thing is, I felt a little like I was facing a peer, and seemed to fall into a short memory, and then, the ghost baby slowly spoke: "I don't have a home, before the godfather found me, I was a little beggar, I was so hungry at the time, I saw the godfather at a glance, I knew that he was an honest man, so I stole the money from him, and finally when I returned some of it, I was caught by the godfather, I found out that it was all the family money he had worked so hard to accumulate, and my godfather asked me to compensate him, but I said no, and my godfather made me his son......"

Recalling the past four years ago, the ghost baby's face was filled with a happy and warm expression, especially the moment when his godfather was mentioned, his smile was so bright, like a baby who had just come to the world, and the feeling of seeing his parents for the first time.

As for the title of ghost baby, it turned out that it was because of what happened in the village in recent years, at first no one knew the special ability of the ghost baby, but everything has a starting point, followed by a complex process, and this starting point is that the ghost baby successfully let Gan Shun see the deceased wife and child, and on the night of the soul summoning by the pond, it was unfortunately seen by the people in the village, and then it was out of control.

I asked curiously, "You still conjure spirits?" ”

The ghost baby laughed and said, "I just let them get on me, it's as simple as that." ”

A row of black lines crossed in front of my eyes instantly, it turned out to be this method, this kid is really bold, some spiritism is indeed done through the medium, but that is based on the psychic himself has a fairly high level of cultivation, otherwise if the evil ghost is on the body and refuses to leave, and there is no other way, then the game is over.

The ghost baby once warned some people that they could not walk the ancient road on the mountain on a specific day, and some listened to the belief that nothing happened, but some people still lost their lives, and since then the name of the ghost baby has spread in the village.

"I don't have any other skills, I just see more things than ordinary people, but when something serious happens to the people in the village, I can't do anything about it, and I can't do anything to see them die...... That's why I want to cultivate, and I want to use my abilities to help them escape the catastrophe! ”

Simple words, deeply touched my heart, at a young age, actually have a heart to save the suffering, if you can really meet a famous teacher, there must be a lot to do, but unfortunately, I am not the person the ghost baby is looking for.

In the end, I was caught by the ghost baby, and I immediately restrained my smile and said, "No matter what you say, I won't accept you!" ”

The house fell into a stalemate again, time passed gradually, and near evening, a gong suddenly sounded outside the courtyard, accompanied by a hurried voice: "Shun slip home, are you all at home?" ”

The bearded man who was sleeping on the table suddenly woke up and shouted back to the outside: "It's all at home!" ”

Soon, the sound of the gong sounded in front of the surrounding courtyard, and at this time, the bearded man rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, and smiled at me with an embarrassed expression: "Brother Chuqi, I'm really sorry, I actually fell asleep alone, hehe!" ”

I got up and walked to the hall and wondered, "Brother Shunyu, the gong outside ......"

When the bearded man heard this, he immediately said: "Oh, that's the village chief checking the number of people in each household, and now it's almost dark, and the people in the village are forbidden to go out, so as not to ...... So as not to be misheard! ”

"Huh?" I frowned and said, "Could it be that your village is infested by those evil spirits every night?" ”

The bearded man sighed lightly and said, "No, I don't know why, there are more and more of those things recently, as if they are rushing to the market every day, alas! ”

Inexplicably, I suddenly thought of something in my heart, and immediately asked: "Brother Shunyu, what is there around you...... What peculiar peaks? It's the kind of mountain that can't be named, or a strange place! ”
