Chapter 250 Mission 023

Xiao Yu rested for a night under the warm and pious hospitality of the people in the village, and then set off for Qingyang County, a few miles away from the village.

He set out very early, and it was still bright. This was the time for the villagers to get up and work, so Xiao Yu didn't want to stay too long, so he got up early and set off.

The village chief treated him very warmly and politely, and even sent him to the entrance of the village: "This little master, as the village chief, I unfortunately have something to do and cannot leave the village today. I am really sorry. I should have sent the little master to Qingyang County."

Seeing the village chief rubbing his hands in embarrassment, Xiao Yu didn't mind. After saying goodbye to him, he set off towards Qingyang County.

He had long known that there were countless demons and ghosts in the human world, but he didn't expect that he would encounter ghosts and ghosts during the few miles from this village to the nearest nearby Qingyang County.

He saw that the flat road in front of him turned into a winding path, and he knew that he had encountered a ghost. He closed his eyes and recited the Heart Sutra silently. Nothing in front of him could confuse his mind anymore. When he opened his eyes again, At that moment, the winding path in front of me disappeared.

Xiao Yu looked around, and what surprised him was that he didn't find the ghost that used the ghost eyes on him. This made him a little interested. He thought he was just an ordinary little ghost with some moral character, but now it seems that he can After he got rid of the ghost's eyes, the one who still disappeared was at least a grudge ghost.

If an ordinary practitioner came here and really couldn't find the ghost, even with his current cultivation level, he couldn't find any trace of the ghost just by relying on his eyesight and perception, but he was cheating! Xiao Yu directly released his spiritual consciousness to quickly search the surroundings, and then easily found a ghost baby staring at him sinisterly under a crooked-neck tree. It was a female ghost baby!

The souls of ordinary people who die will usually automatically enter reincarnation in the underworld. Even if there are ghosts that linger, ghosts will come to capture them. However, there are also some people whose lives were not deserved but were in vain. Resentful ghosts and fierce ghosts formed by deep grievances can avoid the pursuit of ghosts, and the stronger ones can even kill ghosts. These resentful ghosts will harm people when they stay in the human world. Even if they have good intentions, they will lose their rationality and instinct to harm people and eat their Yang Qi when their resentment rises. Therefore, Buddhism teaches disciples not to listen to their lies when encountering resentful ghosts. , the first thing to do is to transcend!

The resentful ghosts who stay in the human world generally have great grievances and hatred, and the majority of them are female ghosts. This is because the imperial dynasty in the human world is that men are superior to women, women have a low status, and many people die in vain. The chance of becoming a resentful ghost after death is higher, so mortals who are lucky enough to encounter male ghosts can still use some local methods to defend themselves, but encounter female ghosts and usually die.

And what Xiao Yu encountered was a fierce ghost, a ghost that was much more powerful than the resentful ghost, the most difficult ghost baby among the ghosts, and the more ferocious female ghost baby among the ghost babies!

There are so many ignorant people in the world who only like to have boys but not girls. It's okay for wealthy families. After giving birth to daughters, they will continue to have sons. No matter how many daughters they have, they are not afraid of being unable to raise them. Poor families like that couldn't afford to raise many children, so girls were either drowned and thrown away after birth, or they were raised until they were a few years old and sold into filthy places.

In the six realms of reincarnation, countless ghosts are not qualified to be reincarnated as adults. It is not easy to be reincarnated as adults. Those girls were killed by their parents when they were just born. They will never have the chance to be reincarnated in the human world in the next life. You can imagine how deep the resentment in their hearts is. Resentful souls entangled and devoured each other to form a ghost girl, who specifically sought life from the living. Especially those parents who favored boys over daughters would be entangled and tortured to death by the ghost baby.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Xiao Yu didn't know whether he was just unlucky and happened to meet the female ghost baby wandering here, or whether this female ghost baby had been guarding this road to harm people. However, considering that he had not heard of any problems on this road in the village before, he must have been unlucky enough to encounter this wandering ghost baby.

However... Xiao Yu's spiritual consciousness 'looked' at the ghost baby that he didn't know he had discovered yet. When the two met, it was hard to say whether it was his bad luck or the ghost baby's bad luck.

Xiao Yu closed his eyes slightly, twirled the string of spiritual treasure Buddha beads in his hand, and uttered the true words: "Om!"

"Well!"

"wisdom!"

"Mou!"

He directly used the first four characters of the eight-character mantra to form four seals one after another to suppress the female ghost infant who had not realized that she had already revealed her hiding place.

Looking at the sealed female ghost baby in the small golden ball condensed under the crooked neck tree, Xiao Yu sighed slightly. This bad habit of drowning female infants and not treating girls as human beings has always existed in the real world and later generations, but In the modern world, it only exists in remote mountainous areas, but feudal society can be seen everywhere. People take it for granted, and it is really scary to people's hearts.

He was always soft-hearted towards children. This ghost baby was still a baby, and it must have been a baby when it died. It was really pitiful that he died in the hands of his loved ones before he saw the world. He sealed it instead of killing it directly, just to keep it with him and chant sutras every day to kill its anger and resentment, and then send it back to reincarnation. No matter what he is reincarnated into in the next life, it is better than being killed to pieces.

Xiao Yu bent down and picked up the small golden ball. When he was about to put the sealed golden ball into his arms, his spiritual consciousness noticed someone peeking over from behind a hill in the distance.

Originally, he thought that he had made a lot of noise when he sealed the female ghost baby just now. It was normal for someone passing by to notice the movement and quietly hide and peek, but his spiritual consciousness discovered that the person peeking was actually an acquaintance - exactly The village chief who let him stay overnight!

Xiao Ying was sensitive and felt that something was wrong with the village chief, because before he left, the village chief said that he had something to do and couldn't leave the village, so he wouldn't send him to the county town. Now he appeared on the only way to Qingyang County!

He pretended not to notice the village chief, but his consciousness was always paying attention to the village chief's movements. Seeing him staring at the crooked tree with a nervous expression, Xiao Ying's suspicion became even stronger.

Xiao Ying put the golden ball that sealed the female ghost baby into a brocade bag and stuffed it into his arms, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

The village chief was stunned when he found that the target person disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye, and then he couldn't help but stand up and look for the figure of the little master: "Strange, where is the person?"

"Village chief, are you looking for this poor monk?"

A clear and pleasant voice came from behind, and the village chief was so scared that he sat down on the ground.

When the village chief turned around, he saw the good-looking monk smiling at him. His heart skipped a beat and he stammered, "Little... Little Master..."

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Xiao Ying smiled at the village chief who was guilty of his crime. He said nothing, but his aura grew stronger.

The village chief was sweating coldly and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He turned around and knelt on the ground crying bitterly: "Little Master! I'm sorry for you! I forgot to tell you that there was a man-eating evil ghost on this road, which almost cost you your life! When I remembered it, I hurriedly caught up with you to tell you that you took a detour..."

Xiao Ying looked at the village chief who was good at singing and writing, and felt deeply that who said that the ancients were easy to fool? Isn't this an acting emperor! He immediately explained the reason for his coming here, and kept calling himself "old man", saying that he forgot to say it because he was old. Do you have the nerve to argue with an old man?

If the original owner Kong Jue, who was inexperienced, was present, he would have been fooled by the old man.

However, Xiao Ying, who had experienced so much, did not notice the old man's acting before because he was not prepared for his deception on the route and did not care about him as an old man. Now he had doubts in his heart. How could he not see the flaws in the old man's performance?

But Xiao Ying still smiled and said to the village chief: "Village chief, you performed very well. Oscar owes you a little golden man!"

The village chief sniffed his nose and was a little confused: "What gold?"

Then Xiao Ying turned around and walked towards Qingyang County, ignoring the old village chief.

Seeing Xiao Ying leave, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he is just an ordinary person, he was actually a warrior with good strength when he was young. He had some experience and some understanding of practitioners.

Not long ago, the drowned baby girls in the village turned into ghost babies to seek revenge. The village chief used a talisman he had obtained when he was out there to temporarily drive the ghost babies out of the village, but the ghost baby was full of resentment and kept wandering on the only road in the village leading to the nearest county town. All the young people in the village who were lucky enough to take this road were killed by the ghost baby.

Since then, he has been thinking about how to find practitioners to help get rid of the ghost babies, but their village can't offer a reward that will make the practitioners excited. As the village chief, he had a crooked idea... It happened that this little monk passed by the village and was going to Qingyang County. At that time, he felt that this was a godsend opportunity.

He didn't ask the little monk to kill the ghost baby, because he thought that the little monk looked like a disciple of the Buddhist temple but was too young and might not be the opponent of the ghost baby. If he asked the little monk, the little monk might retreat like those practitioners who had no ability. He just kept the ghost baby a secret and let the little monk go to Qingyang County. If the little monk could get rid of the ghost baby, everyone would be happy. If he couldn't, he should be able to send his master's people out, or severely injure the ghost baby, delay the ghost baby's escape from the talisman, and their village would be safer for a few more days.

But after the little monk left, the village chief saw the Buddha's light on the road, and wanted to know the final result, so he secretly ran over to watch from afar, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the little monk. Fortunately, the little monk was easy to deceive, otherwise he would have been caught this time.
