C17 Ghost Infant

The instant my words left my mouth, Yellow Great Immortal immediately reacted. A yellow talisman strangely appeared in his hand and flew towards the big-headed baby's head.

The big-headed baby was instantly struck. A fiery light appeared, but it was not able to injure the baby.

At the same time, the bearded man and Liu Lili reacted and attacked in the same direction.

Two more attacks, but they were dodged by him. Then he looked at me with his large blood-red eyes, obviously infuriated by me calling out his position.

"Wa! Wa! Wa!"

There was the sound of a baby crying in the room, and in my line of sight, the guy was on all fours and lunging at me.

Subconsciously, I used my hands to protect my head. I felt a pain on my wrist, and surprisingly, my wrist was tightly bitten by the big-headed baby. Even if I swung it with all my might, I wouldn't be able to get rid of it.

"Xu Yang!" Huang Daxian's voice rang out, and a copper coin appeared in his hand. He threw it towards me.

Like a bullet, the copper coin accurately hit the big-headed baby. Following that, a hole appeared on the baby's body, and black, pungent blood spurted out from the hole and splattered all over me.

I was also furious. I grabbed the baby by the neck and yanked him back. The baby tore off my wrist along with a lump of flesh. Blood was flowing out of the wound.

A gourd appeared in the small mustache in front of me. He poured out some transparent liquid and rubbed his eyes.

"Good little thing!" He shouted, and pounced over.

At this moment, the big-headed baby was in my left hand and I was grabbing tightly onto his neck. I was unable to dodge the flying moustache and was caught in an instant.

"Wa! Wa! Wa!"

A piercing wail sounded out, and the temperature in the room dropped by a dozen degrees. Yellow Great Immortal suddenly flew over and pasted a yellow talisman on its head.

The room quietened down. I held the big-headed baby in my hand without moving. I exchanged gazes with Yellow Great Immortal and confirmed that there were no problems before I let go.

"Hiss …" I grimaced. There was a large wound on my right hand, and blood was flowing out of it.

"Wrap it up, I will deal with it with the mustache man." Yellow Great Immortal said to Liu Lili before starting to deal with the big-headed baby with the small mustache man.

Fifteen minutes later, my wrists were bandaged, but they were tingling.

The big-headed infant was lying motionless on the ground. His blood-red eyes were lifeless, while Yellow Great Immortal and the small mustached man were constantly sprinkling powder on it.

Thinking about it, the room was probably made by this guy. Maybe it was sent by that 'black hand' behind the scenes.

Liu Lili and I stood to the side and watched them take care of the big-headed baby. After the powder was scattered, I could clearly see that the black gas on its body wasn't rolling. After sprinkling the powder, the small mustached man had gotten a jar from who knows where, just in time to hold the baby.

After everything was done, Huang Daxian used three pieces of yellow paper to seal the entrance to the altar. He then stuck a few more on the altar before clapping his hands.

"What is this?" I said, looking at the mustache.

"A ghost baby, a type of little ghost that is raised by humans." Yellow Great Immortal said while panting.

After hearing it, I was also stunned. A legend appeared in my mind.

It was said that in ancient times, there was a person who had been dead for hundreds of days and had been sealed away in an earthenware jar. After soaking them in various kinds of strange venom and dripping their blood onto the altar everyday, it took them forty-nine days to finish the process.

He then placed the jar in the Yin Field and absorbed the Yin Qi for another forty-nine days. This way, the ghost baby would be able to grow.

The Ghost Infant that came out was rumored to be extremely ugly. Its head was as big as a person's body. It liked to move around at night and eat raw meat. It would only listen to its owner's orders.

This was only one of the many things they raised. There were all sorts of strange things that could be used to guard the residence against evil. It could change the wind and water, and could even help people amass wealth.

I passed it off as a folklore just a few minutes ago, but a few minutes ago, I was bitten by this so called Ghost Infant.

"Eat this." Huang Daxian came to my side with an old ginger in his hand.

"Eat …" "Eating ginger?" I started.

"The entire body of the Ghost Infant is filled with corpse poison, and after being bitten by the poison gas it becomes even more violent. It gives birth to Jiang Zhiyang and is able to dispel the poison." Liu Lili said to me and I took it.

Looking at the palm-sized old ginger in my hand, I felt the corner of my mouth twitch. Such a big old ginger, eat me to death!

However, in order to dispel the poison, I had to bite down on it. Immediately, the strong taste of ginger juice filled my mouth and I started howling.

Finally, Liu Lili forced me to eat the whole of Ginger. I ate until my tears flowed from my nose. My heart wanted to break the jar and beat the crap out of that ghost baby.

"I reckon this is the little ghost that the person has raised. He probably came here to find something." Yellow Great Immortal looked at the messy room.

"What are you looking for?" It seems that the mastermind has already revealed his tail.

I think that the man came to frame the mustache for one of his things.

"Nothing much..." "I don't keep the important things that are valuable at home …" The man with the mustache said.

"If it's on your body, then think about what's important on your body?" I shouted.

The man with the mustache frowned as he thought about it. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he took off his black shirt.

"It should be this thing!" As he spoke, he tore open the shirt in the middle, revealing a small cloth bag within.

The cloth was no more than two or three centimeters thick. It was about the length of a palm, and it looked like it had been sewn into the clothes by an early mustache.

"This item was given to me by an old Taoist. At that time, he was in a hurry to leave after giving it to me. I didn't even have time to ask." As the bearded man spoke, he took out the items from the cloth bag.

It was a small piece of porcelain that looked ordinary, as if it had been broken off from a piece of porcelain.

"This is it?" Huang Daxian frowned as he looked at the piece of porcelain in his hand.

"Yes, I don't have many valuable things on me, but this one has an unknown origin." The man with the mustache said.

"What do we do first?" I pointed to a jar at the side and said to the others.

"Wait, I will go and prepare some materials. When the time comes, let this guy out and he will lead us to his master." Yellow Great Immortal said slowly.

After that, we sat in the messy house. Big Beard helped Yellow Great Immortal prepare his things while we rested on the side.

"Oh right, why do you think that person wants to frame you? Why didn't he kill you?" I looked at the mustache, puzzled.

"Kill me? "Why do you think he would want to frame me if he could kill me?" He rolled his eyes at me, but then he suddenly froze.

"That's right, why did you frame me?"
