Xiao Bai's speed became faster and faster, and after a while, he was less than half a meter away from the ghost baby. He saw that its limbs gathered strength, and with a sudden flick, it jumped directly onto the ghost baby and bit it!
"Ouch!"
The ghost baby immediately let out a shrill wail, threw Xiaobai away, jumped off the elevated line, then suddenly turned around and rushed towards us.
Lonnie and I quickly hid around a corner, the thunder and fire talisman in our hands already ready to go.
The ghost baby was running in panic and didn't notice Lonnie and I hiding. As soon as we rushed to the corner of the intersection, I quickly slapped the thunder and fire talisman with one palm.
boom!
There was only a loud noise, and a dazzling light flashed out, illuminating the entire Xiushui Town as if it were daytime!
After the light dissipated, I saw that the ghost baby was lying on the ground, black smoke still coming from his body, and he was seriously injured!
Unexpectedly, the vitality of this ghost baby was so tenacious. Under the bombardment of the thunder and fire talisman, he did not die!
I walked over quickly and saw the ghost baby raising its head with difficulty. Its dark ghost pupils were as clear and transparent as a deer, so pitiful!
My heart moved, and for some reason, I felt a pity for this ghost baby.
As a disciple, how can I sympathize with a ghost who does evil? It shouldn't be!
I shook my head vigorously to get rid of the pity I felt just now, and the Martial King Whip in my hand was already aimed at the ghost baby.
"You little brat, you are entrenched here and you have harmed so many innocent people. Today I will act on behalf of God and eliminate you!"
The ghost baby shook his head desperately and whined out from his mouth.
I couldn't help but frown and asked Lonnie: "Ni, what does it mean?"
"I think its expression seems to indicate that it has never harmed anyone?"
Lonnie also held her chin and said seriously.
I thought for a few seconds and saw Mayor Liu squatting not far away, shivering, so I waved to him.
"Mayor Liu, come here!"
"Master, what do you want from me?"
Mayor Liu came over and asked tremblingly.
He saw clearly the scene where I surrendered the ghost baby just now, and now he has already regarded me as a real master, with incomparable fear in his tone.
"Let me ask you, has this ghost baby ever harmed anyone?"
"This, it seems there is no such thing..."
Mayor Liu thought for a while and then answered.
"Speaking of which, there have been rumors of ghosts appearing on this street lamp for more than a year. During this period, many people's pets have been lost frequently, but no one has had any accidents."
I nodded and looked at the ghost baby again.
"It seems that you have never harmed anyone. I will give you a chance to leave Xiushui Town. If I hear that you have harmed others, I will not forgive you lightly!"
The ghost baby seemed to understand what I said, nodded slightly, then struggled to get up and slowly walked away.
"Everyone, it's okay. That ghost baby will never come to Xiushui Town to cause trouble to its neighbors again!"
It wasn't until the ghost baby disappeared that I turned around and spoke loudly to everyone.
People stood up one after another, and with a roar, they gathered around Lonnie and me.
"Thank you so much, you are the true master!"
"Yes, we have all been fooled, then Wu Yazi is a big liar!"
"This bastard defrauded us of hundreds of thousands, we can't just let him get away with it!"
Amid people's indignant voices, I called Mayor Liu to my side again.
"Mayor Liu, do you know where Wu Yazi lives?"
Mayor Liu was stunned: "Master, are you going to find him?"
"Um,"
I nodded: "I have something that I need to confirm with him."
"That's great, I'll take you there, just in time to get back the money he defrauded the villagers!"
Mayor Liu said with excitement.
"Yes, we are going too and make that liar pay back the money!"
All the townspeople also shouted.
"That Wu Yazi is not in vain. He is indeed proficient in Taoist arts. If there is a conflict with him then, I may not be able to protect your safety."
I said calmly.
Taking the townspeople there will definitely alarm Wu Yazi, and maybe let him sneak away, so my trip this time will be in vain.
"this……"
Sure enough, after hearing what I said, people couldn't help but show hesitation and no longer shouted to go together as before.
"Okay, if you can trust me, after I ask him, I will help you get your money back."
After people stopped talking, I spoke again.
"Then, it's you, Master Lao!"
Mayor Liu said quickly.
I nodded and said nothing more. After asking where Wu Yazi lived, I let Xiaobai enter the Qiankun Bag, and then left straight away with Lonnie.
Thirty miles west of Xiushui Town, there is a Black Cloud Temple, where Wu Yazi is stationed.
Lonnie and I hurriedly rushed towards Heiyun Temple under the cover of night.
As we were walking, I suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from behind us, following us.
I gripped the King of Martial Whip tightly, turned my head sharply, and saw a black monster squatting less than five meters away from us, with a pair of dark eyes staring at me!
It was the ghost baby who left just now!
"Why are you following us?"
I immediately said coldly: "Could it be that you want revenge?"
The ghost baby shook his head and made a whining sound.
"Then hurry up and follow us. Be careful, I won't be polite!"
I snorted coldly and was too lazy to continue to pay attention, so I continued to walk forward with Lonnie.
However, the ghost baby didn't listen to my words. Every time we looked back, we could see it following us, not far or near, with a pitiful expression.
"What does this guy mean?"
I said a little puzzled.
"I think it wants to mess with you!"
Lonnie thought for a while and then said with a smile.
I asked in confusion: "Ni, what do you mean?"
"It's very simple. This ghost baby lives by devouring essence and blood. You have cut off its way of survival. Now it has nowhere to go and can only seek refuge with you."
I couldn't help curling my lips: "I am a dignified minister, and I have a kid by my side. Isn't this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about this?"
Lonnie smiled and said: "Although this kind of ghost baby is ferocious, it has the simplest mind. Once it recognizes you, it will never betray you in the future. What's more, we are currently investigating the frontier of wizards in southern Xinjiang, and we can't get help from the immortals. What's more? It’s not a bad thing to have a ghost baby as a helper.”
When Lonnie said this, the knot in my heart gradually dissolved. After thinking for a while, I finally nodded.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. I'll accept it first and see how it performs!"
After finishing speaking, I waved to the ghost baby: "Come here."
