Chapter 4: Haunted by Evil Spirits
Hiss.. The moment the slightest aura entered Xiao Xiaobai's body, he couldn't help but gasp with a stirring spirit. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It was an indescribable feeling, it seemed to be painful and itchy, crispy and numb, as if it was crawling over like an ant, and it seemed to be pierced by a large number of slender needles at the same time, and the keen nerves of the whole body were touched, and the bliss in an instant seemed to be extremely painful, which made Xiao Xiaobai's expression tangled and distorted.
And the next moment, after that feeling slowly faded, it was a little cool, like frost, and the coolness penetrated through the skin and into the flesh and blood. For a while, Xiao Xiaobai even felt that his body seemed to be extremely hungry and thirsty to absorb these energies.
It's a pity that the speed at which these energies penetrate into Xiao Xiaobai's body is too slow. Or rather, this energy is too scarce in the outside air. Xiao Xiaobai clearly felt that after absorbing only two or three breaths of effort, this energy from the outside world was much weaker, and it became almost invisible. Although this energy in the rest of the world is like a stream of water surging from the rich to the thin, it is still too small and the convergence speed is too slow.
However, this feeling of cultivation is still very wonderful, allowing Xiao Xiaobai to slowly immerse himself in it, and his body is constantly absorbing the slightest thin energy and quietly being nourished and transformed.
Time passed, I don't know how long it took, and suddenly felt a familiar rich and cold aura approaching in front of him, and a spirited Xiao Xiaobai instantly broke away from his cultivation state and suddenly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, Xiao Xiaobai clearly saw a pale and slightly illusory face in front of him, and instinctively stepped back, only then did he see clearly that it was a thin and indifferent man covered in black mist, his figure was suddenly leaning over and looking at him with cold eyes, and there was a faint hint of excitement on his cold face.
Xiao Xiaobai, who breathed a sigh of relief, didn't react too much, and didn't even have a surprised expression, just frowned and glared at the emaciated and indifferent man: "Dead ghost, scare me all day long, scare me for more than ten years, aren't you annoying?"
That's right, as Xiao Xiaobai said, this emaciated and indifferent man is a guy who has been dead for an unknown amount of time, and he is indeed a ghost. Moreover, when Xiao Xiaobai was a baby, he had already followed Xiao Xiaobai.
It stands to reason that Xiao Xiaobai, who was haunted by evil ghosts and was still a baby at the time, could not grow up alive.
Xiao Xiaobai's hometown is in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, far away from Yuancheng. He was an abandoned orphan whose adoptive parents went to the city to see a doctor and picked him up on the lawn of Wonseong Hospital. Because his adoptive parents had been married for many years and had no children, they saw that he was a boy, so they adopted him.
But because of the evil ghosts, Xiao Xiaobai, who was still a baby, fell ill not long after being taken home by his adoptive parents, and the child was too fragile and might die.
At that time, deep in the mountains more than 10 miles away from the mountain village, there lived an old Taoist priest in a dilapidated Taoist temple. seems to be an ordinary and sloppy old man, but in fact he is a real hidden master of the world. According to the elders in the village, this old way is very powerful in driving away evil spirits and catching ghosts, and curing diseases. It's just that later, people don't believe it very much.
With the attitude of giving it a try, Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive parents sent the child to the old Taoist priest and asked him to show it.
Lao Dao looked at this at that time, his face suddenly became iron-blue, and then he frowned and stroked his beard and groaned, briefly asked about the child's situation, and said to Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive parents that if they believed him, they would hand over the child to him to raise and teach, and said that if they insisted on raising this child, the family would inevitably have many disasters, and I was afraid that the two would not have a good death.
When Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive parents heard this, they were a little angry. If it weren't for the fact that Lao Dao was so old that he would have to turn gray, Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive father wanted to give him a fist at that time. It's so annoying that this old man actually said that people rarely have a good death!
It could be seen that Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive parents didn't believe what they said, and Lao Dao didn't say much, but just handed over a dark red ancient jade pendant to Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive parents and asked them to wear it for their children.
Lao Dao didn't prescribe medicine or anything, he just said that if the jade pendant didn't leave him, the child would be fine.
Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive parents were suspicious and took their children back. Not to mention, this old way is really amazing, the child can drink milk after he goes back, and his spirit is slowly improving, as if he has never been sick at all.
However, although the child is fine, Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive parents are unlucky, they are always unlucky, they can't do anything, and they always have accidents, in short, it is not smooth, and the days are getting more and more difficult.
When Xiao Xiaobai was seven years old, his adoptive father was in a car accident outside and died at that time.
Shocked to hear this bad news, Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive mother was not in good health, and then she fell ill directly.
Lao Dao personally went down the mountain to see Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive mother, and it took half a month to slowly recuperate for her. While thanking Lao Dao, Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive mother couldn't help but remember what Lao Dao had said at the beginning. The couple had to raise Xiao Xiaobai, and it was really a lot of disasters and hardships, and it was rare to have a good death!
Then when Lao Dao again asked Xiao Xiaobai to go up the mountain to be raised by him, Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive mother finally agreed.
Of course, this does not mean that Xiao Xiaobai's adoptive mother does not want this son. In fact, the simple and kind mother Xiao still can't let go of Xiao Xiaobai's son, even though she lives a relatively hard life alone, she still often takes food and drink to see Xiao Xiaobai.
Since Xiao Xiaobai was seven years old, he has lived in the Taoist temple with Lao Dao, and this residence is five years. In the past five years, Lao Dao has also taught Xiao Xiaobai to read and hyphenation, and he has also taught ancient Chinese.
According to the old way, Xiao Xiaobai has been assassinated since he was a child, and this evil ghost is simply deliberately done by someone. This method is so vicious that it can almost be said to be unbreakable. Why? Because the baby is too fragile, the evil spirits are haunted, and the ghost qi invades the baby's body, and the breath is connected to each other.
There was no way, Lao Dao taught Xiao Xiaobai a set of health kung fu similar to the Five Birds Opera, and let him practice under the sun, and his body naturally absorbed the pure yang qi to defuse and resist the invasion of ghost qi. Although this is only an expedient measure, it can ensure that Xiao Xiaobai grows up safely, and when the time comes, he may be able to find a way to completely eliminate this demon-haunted calamity.
It's a pity that five years later, when Xiao Xiaobai was twelve years old, Lao Dao suddenly disappeared for a few days, and when he reappeared, he was already gray and looked even older, and his whole breath was weak, and he died soon.
After Lao Dao died, Xiao Xiaobai went down the mountain, and according to Lao Dao's master's instructions, he said to his adoptive mother and was ready to go to school.
After a year in the primary school in the village, under the careful guidance of the volunteer teacher, thirteen-year-old Xiao Xiaobai was reluctantly admitted to a middle school in the county more than 100 miles away.
Three years later, Xiao Xiaobai was admitted to Yuancheng No. 1 Middle School with excellent results, and came to Yuancheng, hundreds of miles away from home, to continue his high school studies. Because Xiao Xiaobai is very interested in traditional Chinese culture, astronomy and geography, history, etc., under the influence of the old way, the liberal arts are very good, but the science is a mess, so he chose the liberal arts when he was in the second year of high school.
Xiao Xiaobai, who went to school in his hometown and even later came to Yuancheng to go to school, rarely went home in recent years, even if he went back to see his adoptive mother during the winter and summer vacations, he didn't stay much because he understood that he was a disaster, and staying in a place like the school where there were many people and yang would not have a big impact on others, but once he went home, it was easy to bring disaster to his adoptive mother.
But even so, in the first half of the year, the adoptive mother died of illness. This is still because Xiao Xiaobai has been by her side less in recent years, otherwise I am afraid that she will die earlier.
Xiao Xiaobai once blamed himself very much, feeling that he had harmed his adoptive father and adoptive mother. He also had a lot of resentment towards the evil spirit that haunted him. But as he grew up, he also understood that it was useless to blame himself, and it was meaningless to resent the evil ghost who had been following him all the time. If the demon had a spirit, would he want to do it? It was only the evil done by the one who used such a vicious means against him, and that person was the real culprit.
And later, Xiao Xiaobai slowly found that the power of the evil ghost seemed to be getting stronger as he grew up. Xiao Xiaobai's kung fu of absorbing yang energy and resisting yin qi that he learned from Lao Dao gradually weakened, and the Jiuyang jade pendant on his body was also getting darker and darker, and the effect of protecting himself was getting worse and worse.
It stands to reason that after the evil ghost is strong, it should slowly kill Xiao Xiaobai. But in fact, after the evil ghost slowly became stronger, it seemed to have spirituality, as if it was deliberately controlling and weakening the influence and damage on Xiao Xiaobai. Although he couldn't speak or communicate with Xiao Xiaobai, Xiao Xiaobai could feel that he didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, and even felt that he was trying to protect himself. It sounds ridiculous, but after years of companionship, Xiao Xiaobai can even feel some of the demon's mood swings.
