Chapter 36: The spirit of an infant, the resentment of a mother

In the face of the sudden attack, the atmosphere was a bit silent. No one spoke. Master looked down thoughtfully, frowned slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something. The hot-tempered guy Guan Xige rushed out, took out a gun from his chest, and yelled, “You don’t follow the rules, you think I can’t use a gun?”

The figure only glanced at us deeply, turned around and left, almost ignoring Guan Xige’s actions.

But Master grabbed Guan Xige’s wrist and shook his head, telling him not to be impulsive. Guan Xige grumbled and put away his gun, but he wasn’t stubborn. I had a strange feeling from beginning to end, wanting to see that person clearly, but I couldn’t see him clearly at all.

He was wearing a mask, his hat pulled down low, and a very large coat that made him look bloated. He seemed to be tall, but I didn’t know if he was wearing shoes with heels. Department agents all have a set of skills for changing their appearance, and this is just basic knowledge.

Therefore, everything seen from a distance is of no reference value.

I really wanted to find out who he was, so I asked my master, “Why don’t you go after him?”

The master was silent for a moment, then pointed to the ground and said, “After I pass through this open space, he can easily walk away 10 times or 8 times.”

This open space is a place with a special terrain. On the left is a cliff, and on the right is a wall of large stones built by hand. It is simply a place that cannot be bypassed, because behind the wall is also a cliff.

Our destination is beyond the clearing, so we must pass through it. What did the master mean by this?

I frowned in confusion and looked at the place where the master pointed. I found shallow bloodstains on the ground, as if hastily covered up, but ultimately left behind.

What is this? Because of my age, I have little knowledge and do not understand what the bloodstains on the ground represent. At this time, an old man with almost completely white hair came out of the crowd. He looked at the traces on the ground and said to the master, “Is it that witchcraft? Old Jiang, this is not easy!”

Only then did the master look up and say, “The people who came here are here to remind us of this trap, so that we don’t enter it lightly. If we enter here without being prepared, even you and I will be in danger of losing our lives. This is what they did to delay the time. Even if it’s difficult, we have to get through it.”

“Well, this time, in order to save time, the department’s elite have come out, and this witchcraft formation is not unbreakable. Lao Jiang, you just tell everyone about it and make the arrangements.” After saying that, the old man with white hair retreated into the crowd, no longer speaking, very low-key.

However, I was a little shocked to hear him say that the department’s elite were all out for this operation. This really surprised me. Just like the old man with white hair, he didn’t say a word all the way. During the conversation, the master actually mentioned him at the same level as himself, which was unimaginable.

This made me look behind me involuntarily. Many of them were neither Taoist priests nor monks. They looked ordinary and stood quietly in the crowd. Who were they?

This department is a top secret department. Even if you are in this department, you may not know the details of the people who work in the department. You may work in it for your whole life, but you may only know a few of your comrades-in-arms. The tasks of the department are never shared. Everyone does their own job. For a task, except for the executor and a few people, you can’t expect the whole department to know.

This is a secret department, and the master is one of the few people with higher authority.

This is my superficial understanding of this department. As I was thinking nonsense, the master spoke: “Here, the blood sacrifice method of large-scale witchcraft has been used…”

Soon, the master explained the simple explanation here, and I quickly understood that the more powerful the dark-oriented witchcraft, the more sacrifices are needed. The master identified it through a special method, and it turned out that the blood of the infant spirit had been sacrificed here!

What is the blood of the infant spirit? It is the blood of a child that has already matured in the womb. On the day of birth, after the amniotic fluid breaks, the fetus is ready to come into the world.

The baby is killed by being stabbed with a long needle through the mother’s belly. Many needles are used, and after the baby is killed, the mother’s belly is cut open to take out the baby.

The blood of this baby is called the blood of the infant spirit.

It is one of the most resentful blood in the world. Not to mention the resentment that was just a little bit away from being cut off, the torture of being stabbed many times is already extremely terrifying. The baby spirits that are often taken out are all wide-eyed and grinning, and even the most courageous people will be left with a lifelong shadow after seeing them.

This blood is not easily used for sacrifice, and even the most vicious sorcerers would not use it lightly. Even if this sorcery is not countered, it will cost a huge price when it is performed.

This kind of witchcraft is vicious and ruthless, and it can be said to be as famous as the real art of raising little ghosts, and it is a world-renowned art that defies the heavens!

And the things summoned with this blood will not return to hell without enough blood.

The master’s heavy explanation undoubtedly cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts. A man in plain clothes asked my master, “What exactly is being summoned?”

I was also curious. What is summoning?

The master said, “It’s hard to be 100% sure what it is that is being summoned. But since it is the blood of an infant spirit, there is still a clue. It is very likely that the blood being summoned is that of a ‘vengeful mother’. The more vengeful the blood of the infant spirit, the more ferocious and terrifying the vengeful mother’s spirit will be. This kind of ghost has basically transcended the limitations of ghosts, and even half of the little gods and little immortals will have to retreat three steps.” At this point, the master sighed and said, “Never underestimate the resentment of a mother who has lost her child.”

At this point, the old man with white hair also said, “Generally, this kind of witchcraft will kill both the mother and the child. After killing the baby, they will kill the mother. A pair of mother and child with a lot of resentment is difficult to resolve. Only enough blood can calm their resentment and let them fly away. In addition…”

The man who had come out to ask questions was already a little pale and asked, “What else?”

The master sighed and said, “The high monk can save the angry spirit. This is a rare powerful guy who cannot be saved. Otherwise, she can only be destroyed alive! This arrangement can really be called a trap, because there should be a lot of anger here, but the Taoist high-level practitioner’s methods have covered it all. It is impossible for the sorcerer to do this kind of small work. If it weren’t for that person’s reminder, we would have almost fallen into the trap and rushed in here unprepared…”

The master stopped talking after saying this. Everyone is an adult, and the consequences can be imagined. There is no need to alarm people. The master has already explained what needs to be explained. Next, the master began to assign some tasks, prepare some magical tools, and tell everyone how to do it.

It is impossible to attack a vengeful mother with a group. If too many people rush in, they will only be a burden, because the vengeful mother is too powerful. If you are not careful, you will be cursed by her and die instantly, without even having the chance to struggle.

The master called out the names of three Taoist priests. When he got to the last name, he hesitated and called out my name. I am afraid of insects, but I am not afraid of ghosts or anything like that.

The master seemed a little apologetic and a little embarrassed about his selfishness. He said to me, “Chengyi, the master can’t protect you for the rest of your life and let you hide in the back. You’re a person who has achieved a little success, and you always have to charge into battle a few times.”

I said casually, “Don’t worry, Master, I will take care of myself. Have you ever seen a 26-year-old child?”

The master smiled slightly, and his mind was relieved. In fact, I was very touched. The master is actually a very fair person. To say that his selfishness is really slight, the only obvious manifestation of it is on me. I cherish this kind of care, and I am greedy enough to never want to let go for the rest of my life.

Having chosen a Taoist, the master then chose a Buddhist. Surprisingly, the master did not choose Master Hui, but instead named another monk. This monk was in his thirties and had a very vulgar Dharma name, Jueyuan. But his appearance was a hundred times better than that of the lewd old man, with clear eyes and a handsome face, red lips and white teeth. He looked respectful and dignified in his monk’s robe, and his expression revealed a kind of compassion.

Master Hui grumbled in dissatisfaction and said, “Old man Jiang, are you picking on me? Not choosing me? But choosing him instead, do you value the reputation of a famous monk who is a pervert? I wonder how his disciples are like?”

In China, many high priests are young or even very young. This is related to reincarnation. Master Hui said that this monk was famous, so he must be one of the young high priests.

Facing Master Hui’s dissatisfaction, the master did not argue, and Master Hui quickly stopped talking.

Finally, the master walked over to the group of seemingly ordinary people. This group of people did not belong to the Taoist monks or the sorcerers. They were a very special group of people. It wasn’t until the master asked them some questions that their identity surprised me.
