Now Chen Yunqi and I were really stumped. If the thing was hiding in the water and wouldn't come out, there was nothing we could do. It would be impossible to go into the water to find it. It would be too risky.
Not to mention that neither of us understands the nature of water. Even if we can swim, our combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced if we go into this pool.
Moreover, this pool looks pitch black, and it is estimated that the evil spirit is quite strong. People may be eroded by the evil spirit as soon as they enter, and they may die in it.
It seems like we have to find a way to force this thing out.
I grabbed a handful of cinnabar from my backpack and sprinkled it into the puddle in front of me.
This cinnabar is a very yang thing, and it has a certain restraint effect on yin and evil spirits. After the cinnabar enters the water, it collides with the yin and evil spirits in the pool, as if it has a corrosive effect, and the water surface suddenly "puff-puff" A layer of blisters appeared.
Then an undercurrent began to surge under the water, and it felt like something huge was about to emerge from the water.
Chen Yunqi and I quickly took a few steps back, and then stared at the pool with alert expressions.
The sword stained with Wang Deman's blood was also held in my hand.
Chen Yunqi made a few talismans and came out. It seemed that he was really not good at this. He didn't even have a guy who was good at it, so I had to ask him to step back.
After a while, a small head suddenly emerged from the water, with a few sparse hair growing on the head like withered yellow weeds.
When I saw the ghost baby showing its head, I threw another handful of cinnabar over it.
This thing immediately jumped into the water again, and then, it suddenly burst out and jumped directly to the roof of the cave. Its sharp hands were directly grasped into the rock wall on the roof of the cave, and its whole body was hanging like that. above.
Chen Yunqi quickly raised his hand and threw away a few charms. The ghost baby was staggered and fell from the top.
I quickly seized the opportunity and pounced forward, stabbing the ghost baby directly in the head with the sword in my hand.
This thing seemed to be a little afraid of the guy in my hand. Perhaps it felt the restraining effect of this thing on it, so it quickly jumped away, then climbed the rock wall and ran outside.
"Quick, stop him."
I shouted quickly, took out a few Five Thunder Talismans from my pocket, chanted the incantation, raised my hand and threw them out.
The ghost baby was staggered again by the talisman, but it didn't have much effect and ran towards the outside of the cave.
Chen Yunqi was so anxious that he actually picked up a stone on the ground and threw it, which made me look confused.
By the time we chased it out, the thing had already climbed up and was moving very fast. Chen Yunqi and I couldn't catch up.
It's bad now, the village chief and the others are still up there.
Chen Yunqi and I quickly climbed up on the rope, but how could this speed be compared to that of the ghost baby? By the time we climbed up, the thing was long gone.
Nothing happened to the village chief and the villagers, but they were all hiding in the distance with frightened faces. It seemed that they were frightened by the ghost baby that ran up just now.
At this moment, when Chen Yun and I saw each other coming up, the village chief and the others came running over again.
"Where did that thing go?"
I quickly asked the village chief.
"Going down the mountain."
The village chief said and pointed in the direction.
When I saw it, wasn't it the direction of the village? If this thing were allowed to run into the village, wouldn't it mean a killing spree?
"Go back quickly."
I said hello, then ran away to the village.
By the time we ran back, it was already afternoon. I quickly went to the village chief's house to take a look. Fortunately, all the pregnant women were fine.
It seemed that no one was killed in the village. Presumably the ghost babies would not come out to harm anyone in broad daylight. They would most likely hide in some dark place again.
If this thing is not solved, it will be a problem after all.
Chen Yunqi and I went to Wang Deman's house again and took a look. The ghost baby was not here either, but we saw that Wang Deman had hanged himself on the beam in the main room. It must have happened last night, and everyone was already hardened by now. .
A whole family died like this. Although it is considered to be the fault of oneself, it is still several human lives after all.
Chen Yunqi and I had mixed feelings. After we returned to the village chief's house, we briefly talked to him about Wang Deman's family affairs. I think the villagers would help with the aftermath, and we couldn't let the body rot in the house.
After dinner, Chen Yunqi approached the village chief and said that he wanted to build a photo monument at the entrance of the village.
To put it bluntly, this stele is actually a wall that can be used to block the evil dragon from swallowing the fetus. There is indeed such a saying in Feng Shui, but it mostly appears in Yang houses. For example, when the door faces an unlucky direction, it can be used. The stele can be used to ward off evil, but if used in a situation where a dragon swallows a fetus, it may not be of much use.
"Do you want to use the illuminated monument to stop the evil dragon from swallowing the fetus?"
I frowned and asked Chen Yunqi.
"This is just a cover-up."
Chen Yunqi shook his head and said: "Build a monument at the entrance of the village to block the evil dragon's sight, and then place the baby in a position where the evil dragon's head and tail are connected. It should be able to attract it. When the evil dragon looks back again, the dragon's veins The direction of the earth's energy will then return to normal."
After hearing this, I thought about it carefully and suddenly realized, this is a wonderful method? There is no need to cut off the veins or touch the evil dragon head-on. You can lead it back and make the Feng Shui dragon veins return to their original veins. In this way, the evil dragon's trap of swallowing the fetus will naturally be broken.
But if this is the case, then the baby placed in the place where the evil dragon touches its head and tail to attract the evil dragon to turn back will probably be swallowed directly by the evil dragon.
This requires using a baby's life as bait.
"I just told the village chief to let them choose."
Chen Yunqi looked at me and said.
"Choose what?"
I didn't understand it for a while.
"Let them choose whose children to sacrifice, one for each village, this is inevitable."
Chen Yunqi gestured with a finger as he spoke.
"..."
I didn’t know what to say for a moment. I don’t think anyone would agree to sacrificing my own child!
But in this situation, there seems to be no other way. After all, this evil dragon swallowing the fetus must be broken, otherwise none of the children in the village will survive.
I don’t know how the village chief and others negotiated. In short, in the end, someone was indeed willing to dedicate his child. As for the conditions, we don’t know.
The photo monument at the entrance of the village was built in one afternoon, and then Chen Yunqi asked the villagers to take the pregnant woman directly to the foot of the mountain, where the evil dragon met end to end.
This must be done by pregnant women, because this pattern is called the evil dragon swallowing the fetus, and it swallows the child in the pregnant woman's belly, so only when the fetus is in the pregnant woman's belly can the evil dragon be attracted.
