Chapter 10: [009] The ghost-killing baby

Views: NaN

I still get scared when I think about the situation at that time. After Sun Qingjia was possessed by a ghost, he became extremely strong. After throwing me to the ground, he bit my neck with his mouth. From the look of his posture, it seemed as if he wanted to bite my throat.

Fortunately, I fought for my life, raised my foot and kicked him in the stomach. He took a few steps back and rushed forward again.

While he was retreating, I immediately took the cow's tears and wiped my eyes. I felt a strange pain in my eyes, and then I opened my eyes and saw a female ghost crawling behind Sun Qingjia, controlling him. Sun Qingjia was not possessed by a ghost. He just fainted and the ghost was controlling him.

I know the ghost that possessed him, it was Sun Qing's deceased girlfriend Xu Jinglei. As for where the ghost baby went, I don't know.

Just as Sun Qingjia rushed over again, I quickly took out the "Talisman to Suppress Evil Spirits" and stuck it on his face, saying, "Hurry up and obey the command."

When the talisman was just stuck to his face, a golden light flashed, and he took three steps back with a look of fear. I couldn't understand it at first, but later I found out that the 'Talisman to Suppress Evil Spirits' didn't have much effect on the ghost baby because the ghost baby was born with resentment and also absorbed a lot of negative energy. However, Xu Jinglei in front of me obviously didn't have such great ability, so the 'Talisman to Suppress Evil Spirits' was still very effective on her.

He obviously knew it, and stood five meters away from me, not daring to approach. I didn't rush over either. At this time, I was thinking, where did Taoist Qingfeng go? Although Taoist Qingfeng and I had some conflicts and was lustful, he was definitely not the kind of person who would abandon us and leave when he encountered ghosts. Moreover, the money promised by Sun Qing's family had not been paid yet, so he couldn't hurt us.

But he was definitely not here. Suddenly, a question suddenly occurred to me: why didn't the ghost baby come over? After thinking about it for a while, I understood that Taoist Qingfeng went out alone to deal with the ghost baby, so he left us behind.

But he probably didn't expect that there was another ghost, so he miscalculated and almost put us in danger.

Suddenly, I had a headache again. Looking at Sun Qingjia who had not attacked yet, his face had started to turn pale while he was eating. If a ghost possesses a person for a long time, it will cause certain harm to the human body.

"Hey, you are Xu Jinglei, right? How about chatting?" I suddenly said with my eyes rolling. I also saw that the ghost possessing Sun Qing's family was Xu Jinglei.

"Whatever, there's nothing to say."

"I wonder why you are so cruel. How come Old Sun and you have been in love for such a long time, and you still come to harm him." I thought about it and said, it is obviously impossible to ask this ghost to let Sun Qing's family go. Now I can only delay time. According to Taoist Qingfeng's strength, dealing with a ghost baby is a piece of cake. Now I can only wait for Qingfeng to deal with the ghost baby and come back to deal with her.

"No, it was Bao Bao who asked me to do this. He said that if I did this, our family of three could be together forever." Sun Qingjia said excitedly after hearing what I said.

"Can you believe what he says? He just wants you to kill the person you like. Wake up." Although I said this lightly, I was secretly anxious in my heart. Although my talisman just repelled him, I just observed that he did not suffer any substantial damage. On the contrary, I only have four talismans left. If the fight continues like this, I will have to go to see Brother Guorong.

But unexpectedly, as soon as I said this, he rushed towards me immediately. I looked and threw another talisman at him to repel him. He retreated a few steps and rushed towards me again, and this cycle repeated over and over again. My talismans were almost gone, as I didn't have many to begin with.

Just when the last talisman was thrown out, Taoist Qingfeng finally came back, but he was not as high-spirited as I imagined. Instead, he was covered in scars and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. When Taoist Qingfeng saw this, he immediately reacted, took out his sword, swung it at Sun Qingjia, and roared, "Come out."

The sword hit Sun Qingjia's stomach at once, and Sun Qingjia flew three meters away. I also clearly saw Xu Jinglei being bounced away from behind Sun Qingjia.

Taoist Qingfeng took out a gourd hanging from his waist and shouted, "Collect." Immediately, the gourd produced a suction force and sucked the black shadow into the gourd.

I was amazed to see how Brother Qingfeng solved the female ghost so neatly. It was so neat and tidy. I wanted to interrogate him and ask him why he left me and Sun Qingjia and ran away without being woken up, but when I saw the dark face of Taoist Qingfeng and thought of his skill in catching ghosts just now, I swallowed the words.

Later I found out that Brother Qingfeng was singing karaoke in the house, and everything was fine, but unexpectedly the ghost baby suddenly appeared, so Brother Qingfeng rushed out and started fighting with it. Later, the fight ended up outside, and as a result, Sun Qing's family and I were almost in danger.

I have to say that this ghost baby is more powerful than the last time. Brother Qingfeng also said that this victory was a bit forced. If it was really allowed to kill Sun Qingjia, he would not be able to deal with it. However, Brother Qingfeng later used the gourd on his waist to capture the ghost baby despite being seriously injured, and after recovering from his serious injury, he captured the female ghost. The gourd on his waist did not look very big, just slightly larger than an adult's fist, and it was black and purple in color. I had never seen him take it out before.

It seems that he had to take it out when fighting the ghost baby. This seems to be a sharp weapon for capturing ghosts. It was something that a senior from Longhu Mountain used to have. This makes me, a Yin-Yang master, envious. As I said before, Yin-Yang masters have no factions, so their conditions in all aspects are not as good as those of famous sects. Even many Yin-Yang masters still use some folk remedies to catch ghosts.

Later, Brother Qingfeng held a ceremony to help the female ghost to be reincarnated. After all, she died in vain and had a relationship with Sun Qing's family. As for the ghost baby, according to Brother Qingfeng, he had no way to deal with it, so he had to take it back to Longhu Mountain and let his masters find a solution.

Sun Qingjia also fell seriously ill after that day. He was possessed by ghosts twice within a month, and finally hit by Brother Qingfeng with a sword. It would be strange if he was still intact. However, Brother Qingfeng did not tell Sun Qingjia that he had hit Sun Qingjia with a sword. Instead, he said that he was possessed by a ghost.

I wanted to tell the truth, but Brother Qingfeng glared at me. After thinking about it, I didn't say it. The main reason was that Brother Qingfeng was a man who would beat people when he said he would, without any ambiguity.

This matter was thus concluded successfully. I told the master the whole story, and he kept praising me, saying that I had done a good job.

Later, Sun Qingjia also transferred to another school, saying that there were too many sad things here. When he left, he dragged me out and made me drink heavily. After all, I saved his life, so he was still very grateful to me. He drank a lot that day, but I didn't drink much because I couldn't drink anyway.

After that, I lived a peaceful life. No ghosts or anything like that appeared around me. I just ate and waited for death in school every day. I studied occasionally and made my master happy. I lived a leisurely life. Two years passed quickly, and I graduated from high school. During these two years, I did not follow my master to do "business". My master told me to just focus on studying.

When I took the senior high school entrance exam, unfortunately I only scored over 300 points. I thought I would be scolded by my teacher when I returned, but that didn’t happen. Finally, my teacher found the person he had helped two years ago, the one whose daughter was bewitched by a fox demon, and asked him to use some connections to get me admitted to a second-tier university in Chengdu.

I heard that the university was pretty good, and there were hills and stuff like that inside. Especially the senior girls there were so open-minded and pretty, and I was envious of them. So my high school career ended like that. It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good.

The master also looked older. According to him, he only had four years to live. He had calculated it himself using the art of hexagrams, so he could roughly estimate his lifespan. Despite this, he did not get restless like the average person. Instead, he accepted the fact. He told me that it was worth it to have lived so long.

In fact, his most powerful skill in this life was not spells, but fortune-telling. However, he told me that fortune-telling was too detrimental to the harmony of nature, and that every fortune-telling that revealed the secrets of heaven would shorten one's life. So he did not teach me, and he did not intend for me to learn it.

Of course, I would not be bored and learn something that would shorten my lifespan. Could I use it to calculate the numbers for the next lottery? Although it sounds good, people who practice Taoism believe in retribution. Money will go as it came.

At this point I would like to tell you a story my master told me: It was about a Taoist priest in Maoshan during the Republic of China. He used his method of raising ghosts to make money. Before long he became a wealthy man with many wives and concubines. But the good times did not last long. Within two years, the Taoist priest fell seriously ill. His wife and concubines divided up his money and ran away. Finally, when the Taoist priest died, he became a beggar and did not even have a thin coffin.

This is retribution. Although I have never really believed in it, every time my master mentioned it, he would seriously tell me not to use magic to do anything harmful to others, otherwise retribution would eventually come.

During the summer vacation, I took advantage of my free time to learn Taoism with my master, and catch some ghosts with him. My master was also confident in letting me do many simple tasks.

In this way, while following my master to catch ghosts and practicing on my own, I was getting closer and closer to my university life, and I was looking forward to it more and more. I never thought that my university life would be so extraordinary. Of course, this is a story for later.
