I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 143 The Evil Infant

After struggling for a long time, the evil infant was finally collected into the Merit Banner. Chen Qingyuan put away the altar, the Merit Banner, and the Evil-breaking Sword. This operation of collecting items through the air once again refreshed the three views of everyone present...

The place was a mess.

Chuliu sat on the ground with lifeless eyes. He wanted to hug Xiaoyu, but the blood on the ground did not contain a single bone. His mind suddenly became empty. Xiaobin came up to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say...

Chuqi stood at the gate of the yard, it was very quiet.

Although Qinghai was outspoken, too many people died tonight. Marshal Xu, who had more than 40,000 troops under his command, was directly wiped out by the Evil Infant, and many innocent people also died.

His heart felt a little heavy.

At this moment, a wooden board with a Buddha mantra written on it caught his attention. He picked it up, reached out and gently wiped it. He was immediately shocked and looked at Chuliu and asked, "Have you ever practiced Buddhism before?"

Chuliu was in a low mood and said weakly, "I am a country boy, why should I learn Buddhism?"

Qinghai seemed to have seen a new world, and said excitedly: "Boy, you have never practiced, nor have you learned Buddhism. I suspect that you are most likely the reincarnation of a living Buddha. Are you interested in going to the western plateau with me? Tantra needs people like you!"

Chuliu shook his head and said, "No, I want to go home."

Qinghai said anxiously: "Although it seems that all the people in the Tantric Sect are monks, you will not be treated unfairly there. As long as you practice well, I dare not say anything else, but it will be no problem for me to send a considerable amount of living expenses to your family every month."

Chuliu raised his head slightly: "I'll think about it for two days."

His mind was in a mess now and he just wanted to be quiet.

Seeing that the matter was over, Chen Qingyuan turned around and was about to leave...

I felt someone following me, and when I turned around, it was the seventh day of the New Year.

He frowned and said, "Why are you following me if you don't follow Chuliu home?"

Chuqi seemed to have become more mature. She asked, "When are you going to leave Liushui County?"

Chen Qingyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "It could be as short as two or three days, or as long as... I don't know..."

Chu Qi said hurriedly: "Although I haven't been with Taoist brother for a long time, I feel like I have known him for a long time... If we separate, we may never meet again in this life, so can you let me... take a closer look at Taoist brother..."

Chen Qingyuan: “…”

He felt that Chuqi was a bit weird. He had already found his brother, so what was he doing?

"It's up to you, but I won't take care of you."

"Thank you, Taoist brother."

A smile appeared on Chuqi's face.

The residence of Marshal Xu in Liushui County was wiped out overnight, but it did not attract anyone's attention in the cold night. After all, if civilians casually approached the Marshal's residence at night, it meant they were close to being shot, so no one dared to go and get shot.

Chen Qingyuan knocked on the door of an inn and booked two upper rooms with a silver dollar.

However, before going to bed, he went to the Marshal's Mansion again and took away all the gold, silver, and jewelry. Although these things were of no use to him, they were still useful to the people in this world.

It's dawn the next day.

The tragic scene of corpses strewn all over the ground in Xu's mansion was finally discovered. The mansion was surrounded by people. In the end, Xu's soldiers stationed in the barracks outside came in and drove the people away. Chuliu and Xiaobin did not show up. They were the chefs of the mansion. Now everyone in the mansion was dead except them. They were the most suspicious! Those bandit soldiers were not good at investigating cases. The first thing they did when they caught Chuliu and Xiaobin was to shoot them.

Chen Qingyuan walked among the crowd.

Based on the information given by the evil baby, he found a farmer's yard.

There were three evil babies that Lin Zhengying gave to Zhe Gu. Their common feature was that they were aborted in Liushui County and then put into a small baby-delivery boat and floated along the current all the way to Guangdong.

Chen Qingyuan walked into a farmer's yard and found a woman drying radishes. She was bulging with belly and looked at him in surprise.

"What do you want to do?"

The woman seemed to be in her thirties, a little flustered, and spoke with a heavy accent.

She is pregnant now, and if this young man is a bad guy, there is no possibility of survival.

Chen Qingyuan didn't lay any groundwork and went straight to the point: "Sister-in-law, did you have an abortion and put the fetus in a baby transport boat and send it away?"

He traveled through welfare and learned it well. The only difference in Guangxi dialect is the accent. It is easy to understand with a slight adjustment.

The woman's face changed when she heard this: "What are you talking about?"

Chen Qingyuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you must have beaten the child. That child had a hard life. His soul tried to reincarnate many times, but was aborted many times. As a result, his resentment gathered and turned into an evil baby, which almost brought disaster to the people!"

The woman looked a little pale, staggered and almost fell to the ground. Chen Qingyuan held her up and she said in panic: "I have no idea what you are talking about!"

Take out the banner of merit and release the evil baby.

There are three evil babies, and the one that was released is the child of the woman in front of him.

Chen Qingyuan said: "You don't recognize the child, but the child recognizes you..."

He took out a piece of talisman paper and lit it. The flame flashed in front of the woman: "Open!"

The woman was dazzled and closed her eyes subconsciously. When she opened her eyes again, she found a gray and hideous child standing in front of her. She was so scared that she fell to the ground. "No, this looks like a seven or eight-year-old child. I... I had an abortion, but it was only a year ago. No matter what, it's impossible for him to look like this."

Chen Qingyuan looked at the evil baby and said, "You tell me yourself."

The evil baby knew Chen Qingyuan's method. It had no chance of escaping, so it told him everything: "I really shouldn't look like this. It's just that I failed to reincarnate three times, and the total time is nine years. I died before I became an adult, so I can't have the childish appearance of a child. You can understand my current appearance as a bardo body..."

Its expression suddenly became ferocious: "Why do you treat me like this? I just want to be born a good person. Why don't you give me a chance? Why do you abort me..."

The woman kicked her legs wildly in fear, tears streaming down her face, and she shouted, "No, it's not my fault. I was forced to get pregnant by the landlord Li. I'm a farmhand, but not a slave. If my husband, who is away at work, finds out, I...I will be dragged away by the clan and thrown into a pig cage..."

She started crying loudly, "I just wash clothes every day at Landlord Li's house. Two years ago, there were a lot of clothes, and I washed them until very late. I happened to run into Landlord Li coming in from the back door. He reeked of alcohol and looked drunk. He started talking nonsense when he saw me.

How could a woman like me possibly be stronger than a man? I was dragged into the room by him… and that’s how it happened… The next month, I found that I didn’t have my period, and that’s when I realized I was pregnant.”

Although the woman was in her early thirties, she had good facial features and was quite charming.

She was frightened by the evil baby and kowtowed to the ground with great effort, regardless of her pregnancy: "Child, I really can't give birth to you, otherwise I will still be thrown into the pig cage, and you will still be drowned alive..."
