From the darkness came a slender and graceful woman, and when she got closer, she was a pregnant woman. Not only her, but counting it, there were 4 women behind her who looked exactly like the first one but were completely two.

They came up to me one by one, surrounded me, and all of them looked shy at me, and the smile that should have been beautiful should have been, but the appearance of such a smile on their faces revealed a hint of a sinister smile.

The smile on their faces instantly turned into a sinister smile until all their facial features were misplaced, and the silver bell-like smile came to my ears as if it had come out of hell, making me shudder.

Suddenly, they covered their stomachs in unison, making them moan in pain, the violent fetal movements had made the pregnant belly distort, and the speed visible to the naked eye became larger, tearing their clothes little by little, the pain could not stop their cruel laughter, but the laughter became louder and louder.

A puff of black smoke suddenly enveloped the pregnant woman, and when the smoke cleared, their pregnant bellies disappeared, replaced by a child in their arms, and the child followed the example of their mother, pulling the corners of their mouths and grinning at me, adding a childish child's scall smile to the original sneer.

Five pregnant women and five children rushed towards me at the same time waving their hands, not daring to look directly at me, and immediately closed their eyes, unable to imagine what would happen next. After I don't know how long, I tried to open my eyes, and found that I was in bed, there was nothing around, and the warm sun basked with the fear of the dream. The first time I was so happy, it turned out to be a dream!

When I calmed down completely, I suddenly remembered that the familiarity brought by the baby's face in the dream turned out to be the face of the baby spirit in the double ghost statue enshrined in the old man's house yesterday, but when I wanted to recall the appearance of the pregnant woman, it was blurry, and I couldn't remember any details of my facial features, as if I didn't have a face in the first place.

I got up abruptly and walked into the courtyard, at this time I just wanted the sun to bask away the fear of my body, and when my body stood under the sun, my hanging heart finally returned to its original place. The dazzling sunlight made me unable to open my eyes for a while, and after getting used to it, I slowly opened my eyes and saw my grandfather who was drinking tea in the courtyard looking at me with a smile.

There were two cups of tea on the table, and I sat down consciously. "Grandpa, have you heard of the infant spirit?"

"Children who die in infancy are collectively referred to as infant spirits, which are the patron saints of children, and can ensure that dirty things do not enter the child's body, but often the lower the mana of the soul that does not touch the earthly world after death, there are always dirty things that it can't block, and over time, the folk spread that the dirty things that children can see are infant spirits, and the complaints of the living are all absorbed into resentment by it, and slowly the grievances are getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that Taoism kills them all and lists them as one of the ten major demons."

"Master Zu can't even accept it?" I don't believe how threatening a child can be.

"Do you think it's just cultivating by absorbing resentment? As long as someone complains that the infant spirit scares his child, the infant spirit will eat his child's soul at night to improve its own cultivation, and the purer the soul once it tastes the sweetness brought by the increase in mana, it will become endless, and then evolve into finding a suitable mother, using the woman's body as a habitat, sucking yang energy, and when the woman is no longer useful to it, it will break through its stomach and kill it to find a new carrier. ”

After listening to my grandfather, I can probably guess what the old man is doing, he is raising baby spirits. It's just that I don't know the purpose of his baby spirit, is it just to raise a little ghost for his own use? It doesn't feel that simple.
