Chapter 009: The Fallen Ghost Infant

During the senior year examinations, I unfortunately scored just over 300 points. I originally thought I would be scolded by my mentor upon returning, but that did not happen. In the end, my mentor contacted a person he had helped two years ago, the one whose daughter was enchanted by a fox spirit, to leverage some connections, which resulted in my admission to a second-tier university in Chengdu

However, he probably did not anticipate the presence of another ghost, which led to his miscalculation and nearly put us in danger

The sword struck Sun Qingjia's abdomen, sending him flying three meters away. I also clearly saw Xu Jinglei being pushed away from behind Sun Qingjia.

This is retribution. Although I have never truly believed in it, my master always seriously advises me not to use spells for malevolent deeds, for retribution will ultimately come.

Fortunately, I exerted all my strength at that moment, lifted my foot, and kicked him in the stomach. He was pushed back a few steps by my kick, but then charged at me again

I heard that university is quite good, with small hills and the like, especially how open and beautiful the senior female students are. I was filled with longing as I thought about it. Thus, my high school life came to an end. Although it was not perfect, it was still quite good.

Thus, while following my master to exorcise ghosts, I continued my own cultivation, and the time until my university life drew closer. I found myself increasingly yearning for university. I never anticipated that my university life would be so extraordinary. Of course, that is a story for another time

Later, that female ghost was given a ritual by Qingfeng Ge to help her transcend, after all, she had died unjustly and had a romantic connection with the Sun Qing family. As for the ghostly infant, according to Qingfeng Ge, he was at a loss regarding this ghostly infant and could only take it back to hetushu.com on Longhushan, allowing his masters to find a solution.

There is nothing to say.

The Clear Wind Taoist took a glance and casually retrieved a gourd hanging from his waist, shouting, "Reel in!" Immediately, the gourd emitted a force of suction, drawing the shadow into it.

I would like to share a story told to me by a master: it is about a Taoist priest from Maoshan during the Republic of China era, who used his skill in raising small spirits to amass wealth. Before long, he became a local tycoon, surrounded by numerous wives and concubines. However, this prosperous situation did not last long; within two years, the priest fell gravely ill, and his wives and concubines divided his wealth and fled. In the end, when this priest died, he had fallen into such destitution that he was reduced to a beggar, without even a simple coffin at the time of his death.

Suddenly, I had a headache again. Looking at Sun Qing's family, who had not yet launched an attack, I noticed that their faces had already begun to pale. Prolonged possession by a ghost can cause certain harm to the human body

Can you trust his words? He just wants to make you harm the person you like, wake up. At this moment, although I spoke lightly, I was secretly anxious. Just now, my talisman had repelled him, but upon closer observation, he had not sustained any substantial damage. On the contrary, I only had four talismans left. If this continues and we end up fighting again, I would have to meet Brother Guorong.

During this summer vacation, I took the opportunity to study Taoist arts with my master, and we also captured some minor spirits together. My master entrusted me with many simple tasks, showing his confidence in my abilities.

However, he is indeed not here. Suddenly, I thought of a question: why didn't the ghost infant come to m.hetushu.com? After a moment of contemplation, I understood that Qingfeng Daoist went out alone to deal with the ghost infant, leaving us behind

Just as the last talisman was thrown out, the Qingfeng Daoist finally returned. However, he was not as radiant as I had imagined; instead, he was covered in wounds, with traces of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth. Upon seeing this situation, the Qingfeng Daoist immediately reacted, drew his sword, and swung it towards Sun Qing's house, shouting angrily, "Come out"

In his lifetime, what he was truly most skilled at was not the talismans, but fortune-telling. However, he told me that fortune-telling is highly detrimental to the heavens; each divination reveals celestial secrets and shortens one's lifespan. Therefore, he did not teach me, nor did he intend for me to learn.

Just as Sun Qing was charging at me with a fierce expression, I quickly took out the "Suppressing Evil Talisman" and pressed it against his face, reciting: "Hasten, as commanded by the law."

I was taken aback by how decisively Qingfeng dealt with this female ghost; it was incredibly clean and efficient. I had initially wanted to question why he left me and Sun Qing's family behind to run out without even waking us, but upon seeing the dark aura on Qingfeng's face and recalling his skill in capturing ghosts, I swallowed my words.

I said, "Why is your heart so cruel? Old Sun has been in a relationship with you for so long, yet you still want to harm him." I thought for a moment and spoke, clearly it was impossible to let this ghost off the hook for the Sun family. Now, all I could do was buy some time. Given the strength of the Qingfeng Daoist, dealing with a ghost infant would be as easy as child's play. For now, we could only wait for Qingfeng to resolve the ghost infant issue and then deal with her.

Later, I learned that Brother Qingfeng was originally singing in the KTV room, enjoying himself with the * pictures * and * books *. Unexpectedly, a ghostly infant suddenly appeared, prompting Brother Qingfeng to rush out and confront it. As the fight continued, it spilled outside, which nearly put me and Sun Qing's family in danger.

It seems that it was only out of necessity during the battle with the ghost infant that it was taken out. This appears to be a powerful tool for capturing ghosts, a relic from the predecessors of Longhu Mountain. This aspect makes me, as a Yin-Yang master, envious. As mentioned before, Yin-Yang masters do not belong to any sect, so the conditions in various aspects are not as favorable as those of the renowned sects. In fact, many Yin-Yang masters still rely on some folk remedies to capture ghosts.

Taking advantage of his retreat, I immediately applied cow's tear to my eyes. A strange pain surged through my eyes, and when I opened them, I saw a female ghost crawling behind Sun Qing's house, controlling him. In this case, it cannot be considered possession; he had merely fainted, and the ghost was merely manipulating him.

The master also appears to be older. According to his own words, he has only four years left to live, as he has calculated his lifespan using divination techniques. Nevertheless, he does not exhibit the restlessness typical of ordinary people; rather, he has come to accept this fact. He told me that having lived this long is already worth it.

"Hello, you are Xu Jinglei, right? How about we chat?" I suddenly said, my eyes darting around. I had just seen that the ghost beside Sun Qingjia was Xu Jinglei.

Later, Sun Qing's family also transferred schools, saying that there were too many sad memories here. When he left, he even took me out for a heavy drink. After all, I had saved his life, so he was quite grateful to me. That day, he drank quite a lot, while I didn't drink much because I originally couldn't handle alcohol.

It must be said that this ghost infant is even more formidable than last time. Brother Qingfeng also mentioned that winning this time was somewhat forced. If it had truly killed Sun Qing's family, he would have been unable to deal with it. However, later on, Brother Qingfeng managed to capture this ghost infant using the gourd at his waist despite being severely injured. After recovering from his injuries, he also captured this female ghost. The gourd at his waist does not appear very large, just slightly bigger than an adult's fist, and is black-purple in color. Previously, he had not taken it out.

The situation at that time still sends shivers down my spine when I think about it now. After Sun Qing was possessed, he exhibited immense strength, knocking me to the ground and lunging at my neck with his mouth, as if he intended to bite through my throat in one swift motion

"No, it was the baby who asked me to do this. He said that if I do this, our family of three can be together forever," Sun Qingjia said excitedly after hearing my words

He clearly knew as well, standing five meters away from me, not daring to approach. I also did not rashly go over. At this moment, I was pondering where the Qingfeng Daoist had gone. Although there were some conflicts between the Qingfeng Daoist and me, and he had a penchant for women, he was definitely not the kind of person who would abandon us in the face of ghosts and monsters. Moreover, the money promised by Sun Qing's family had not yet been paid, so he could not possibly harm us

Moreover, I am familiar with the ghost attached to him, namely Sun Qing's deceased girlfriend, Xu Jinglei. As for the whereabouts of that ghostly infant, I am unaware.

However, unexpectedly, as soon as I said this, he immediately charged over. I glanced at him and threw a talisman to repel him. He stepped back a few paces and then charged again. This back-and-forth cycle continued, and I was quickly running out of talismans, which were already in short supply.

When the talisman was贴到 his face, a flash of golden light appeared, and he took three steps back, revealing a look of fear. At first, I couldn't understand, but later I realized that the 'Talisman for Suppressing Evil Spirits' had little effect on the ghostly infant because the ghostly infant was born from accumulated resentment and had absorbed a considerable amount of yin energy. However, Xu Jinglei in front of me clearly did not possess such great abilities, so the 'Talisman for Suppressing Evil Spirits' was still quite effective against her.

I certainly would not find it entertaining to learn that which is said to shorten one's life. Am I to use this to calculate the numbers for the next lottery? While it sounds appealing, those who practice the way believe in the concept of retribution; wealth will come and go in the same manner it was acquired.

I wanted to speak the truth of the matter, but after being glared at by Qingfeng, I thought it over and ultimately chose not to say anything. The main reason is that Qingfeng is someone who acts decisively, without any ambiguity.

After that day, Sun Qingjia also fell seriously ill, experiencing possession by a ghost twice within a month. In the end, he was struck by a sword from Qingfeng Ge, and if he had emerged unscathed, that would indeed be strange. However, Qingfeng Ge did not inform Sun Qingjia that he had struck him with a sword; instead, he claimed that it was due to the ghost's possession that he was affected.

After that, it was quite peaceful; there were no ghosts or monsters around me. I spent my days idling at school, occasionally studying a bit to make my master happy, and my life was relatively leisurely. Soon, two years passed, and I graduated from high school. During these two years, I did not accompany my master to conduct 'business'; he advised me to focus on my studies.

This matter has thus come to a satisfactory conclusion. I recounted the entire situation to my master, who praised me repeatedly, stating that I had handled this matter quite well.
