What's going on?
Why did Professor Deng scream?
I didn't have time to think about these things as I quickly fell into a coma.
When I woke up, I could finally see some light, but I still couldn't see clearly. I could vaguely feel someone pushing my body.
I reached out my hand and tried to feel around. Soon, I heard a weak voice. "Brother, brother, are you awake?"
Then, I felt a cold and soft hand. I quickly asked, "Tong Tong, is that you?
How are you?
Is Professor Deng still here? "
Tong Tong's voice sounded like she was crying. "Brother, don't worry. I'm fine. That bad guy was chased away by sister."
Sister?
Who is this sister Tong is talking about?
Is it the red shadow?
But she had entered the giant door in the underground palace. How could she appear now?
I asked Tong Tong, but Tong Tong said that sister was sister and she didn't know who she was.
With Tong Tong's help, I sat up and leaned against the wall. I closed my eyes and began to chant the Tranquil Heart Incantation.
"Grand Celestial Star, ever-changing.
Exorcise evil spirits, bind spirits, protect your life.
Wisdom is clear, the mind is calm.
The three souls are eternal, the spirit is never lost. "
After chanting it three times, my heart calmed down. I felt the pain in my head lessen a little, but my eyes still couldn't see clearly.
After resting for a while, I quietly felt the 'Qi' in the air. Then, I chanted the Profound Accumulation Incantation.
"Cloud seal, the beginning of the calamity.
Far and near, sinking and floating.
Wandering in five directions, more than one zhang.
The true emperor writes with the brush.
First, the Cave Movement, then the Book Talisman.
The Primordial descends, the True Text is born.
Clear what is there, obscure what is not.
Heavy illness can cure itself, dust and drowning can be helped, the Netherworld will rely on it, ascending to the Immortal Metropolis. "
This was a talisman used to adjust one's body when making talismans. It could also dispel evil spirits, allowing the Feng Shui Master to better draw Qi into the talisman.
Although I couldn't make talismans yet, chanting this incantation could use the power of 'Qi' to cure the diseases in my body.
With my current ability, I could only chant the Profound Accumulation Incantation once. Fortunately, after chanting it, my body gradually warmed up, and my eyes could finally see.
The hit on my face was probably the work of Professor Deng's little ghost.
Little Demon had an evil nature and loved to attack people's eyes. If one's eyes couldn't see, the fear in one's heart would be magnified. Little Demon often used this method to harm people.
For example, the commonly seen ghost hitting the wall and so on were all similar methods.
After chanting the Profound Accumulation Mantra, one's Qi could accumulate in one's body and get rid of all evil.
After I recovered my vision, I looked around. I didn't see the red shadow, and Professor Deng was nowhere to be seen. Only Tong Tong and I were left in the room. Xu Ziyu was lying on the ground, holding the dead baby boy in her arms.
At this time, she had already stopped crying. Her eyes were lifeless, and she was paralyzed on the ground with a numb face. She looked extremely miserable.
I blamed myself. What happened to Xu Ziyu was all because of me. If I hadn't helped her, she would've had an abortion or been killed by the ghost. It would've been much better than watching her child die in her arms.
I struggled to get up from the ground and wanted to comfort Xu Ziyu. However, as soon as I came close to her, Xu Ziyu acted like a mother cat protecting its cub. She jerked backward and hugged the baby boy's body even tighter. Her eyes angrily glared at me.
I sighed. Xu Ziyu wasn't awake yet. She would need time to recover.
I pushed her back and asked Tong Tong about what had just happened.
According to Tong Tong, the 'sister' who had been living with her in the jade bracelet suddenly appeared and summoned a lightning bolt to strike Professor Deng.
However, Professor Deng didn't die. After he was wounded, he ran away.
After that, the 'sister' that Tong Tong had mentioned also disappeared.
"Tong Tong, did this' sister 'return to the jade bracelet? Tong Tong shook her head." No, she didn't. She said that the' sister 'disappeared completely. She didn't return to the jade bracelet. "
Disappeared?
The only thing that could live in the jade bracelet was a Yin soul. Yin souls were afraid of Yang energy, and heavenly lightning was the condensation of the Yang energy in heaven and earth. The 'sister' she mentioned could summon heavenly lightning. Even if she had injured Professor Deng, she would have been hurt badly.
Was that the reason why she disappeared?
My heart tightened. If she was the red shadow, I was afraid she was in danger.
I asked Tong Tong, "Did this sister wear red clothes and a red veil?"
Tong Tong shook her head. "She wore white clothes and didn't have a veil."
I exhaled in relief. Since the red shadow had appeared next to me, she had been wearing the same clothes. If she didn't wear red clothes, she couldn't be the red shadow.
However, I was even more confused. Why was there a ghost wearing white clothes inside the jade bracelet?
When the red shadow gave me the jade bracelet, she told me that it was her host. She never told me that there was another soul inside.
Moreover, when the red shadow was here, the jade bracelet was very cold. Even if it was summer, as long as I wore the jade bracelet, I wouldn't feel hot.
However, after the red shadow left, the jade bracelet didn't have that feeling anymore. Only after Tong Tong entered the jade bracelet did the coldness return. However, it wasn't as cold as when the red shadow was here.
"Tong Tong, what's inside the jade bracelet?" "It's a big palace. She feels very comfortable in there, but she can only move around in a small area. She can't enter the other areas. That sister is the only 'person' she has ever seen. She didn't tell me about it because of that sister's warning."
Now, I was even more curious about this jade bracelet. Unfortunately, I was a human, and I couldn't enter the jade bracelet like a ghost. Unless I could follow the Death Scripture and become a Geomancy Master, I would be able to cultivate a Yin or Yang Spirit, which would allow me to escape from my body.
After resting for a while, I saw that Xu Ziyu had calmed down a little. I went to comfort her.
Xu Ziyu didn't react as violently as before, but her face was still numb. She didn't listen to me.
I had to stop trying to comfort her. "The baby in your arms has passed away. The baby died as soon as he was born, and he has a lot of resentment. You have to give him to me and recite the 'Rebirth Mantra' a few times to get rid of the resentment and bury him peacefully."
Xu Ziyu's face finally regained some energy when she talked about the baby. She slowly sat up and lowered her head to look at the baby in her arms. Her numb face glowed with motherly light, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.
"I told you. Even if he died as soon as he was born, he still got to see this world … So, don't worry. He won't have any resentment. I know that."
Looking at Xu Ziyu's face, I felt even more upset. However, it didn't matter if he had resentment or not. As long as this baby was with her, Xu Ziyu would always be in pain.
I insisted on burying the baby as soon as possible. Xu Ziyu seemed to be angry. She glared at me and said, "He's my baby. I won't bury him. I want to keep him with me."
Keep him with me?
But he's already dead.
I looked at Xu Ziyu's resolute face and felt that something was wrong.
Many people who had lost their children didn't want them to leave, so they thought of all kinds of methods to keep their child's body with them. Some even used the power of a geomancy master to raise a ghost.
This kind of situation was common in Southeast Asia. Did Xu Ziyu have that kind of idea?
However, I thought about it and felt that Xu Ziyu wouldn't think of such a method. It was just something she said because she was too sad. When she calmed down, she would give her child the best place to go.
Since Xu Ziyu didn't agree to bury him, I couldn't force her. I had to give up and leave with Tong Tong.
Before leaving, I purposely searched around Xu Ziyu's house. Soon, I found her parents in the other bedroom.
The old couple was pacing back and forth in the small bedroom. They looked confused.
It was definitely Professor Deng's ghost. It had bewitched them and made them walk in circles in the bedroom, unable to get out.
I walked over and shouted in front of them. The old couple immediately woke up from their bewilderment.
As soon as they saw me, they asked me, "Why are you here?" They didn't wait for my answer and told me that Xu Ziyu was giving birth. They wanted me to go with them.
The old couple didn't know what had happened. I blamed myself even more. I didn't dare to look at them and just followed them to Xu Ziyu's room.
After walking over and seeing Xu Ziyu and the baby boy in her arms, the old couple burst into tears and bawled.
I couldn't bear it, but I didn't dare to talk to them. I gritted my teeth and left.
Before I left, I turned around and saw Xu Ziyu smiling in the midst of all the wailing and crying.
She looked at the dead baby in her arms lovingly. Her mouth moved as if she was whispering something.
