Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 40 [Purify the Spirit]! Where is the Nightmare Mother hiding?

Xu Ran nodded, he might have really fallen into the trap.

After all, he was just a six-year-old child, and he had been staring at the strange talisman for several minutes... The possibility of being infected was almost 100%, so some purification was necessary.

"Call Aunt Lu over..."

"Okay, okay, I'll call right away."

Uncle Ye immediately called for help.

Not long after, Aunt Lu arrived at the hotel. As soon as she entered, she grabbed Ye Ping and scolded him, "How can you be a bodyguard? Don't you know that the contamination of the resentful god is very strange? How dare you let Xiao Ran come into direct contact with it?!"

Uncle Ye lowered his head in guilt, not daring to refute a single word.

He trusted Xu Ran too much at that time and forgot that Xu Ran was actually just a six-year-old child with almost no resistance to pollution.

A little carelessness can lead to big mistakes! Sigh...

"Look up!"

"You're the patrol chief! Don't you even have this little bit of vigilance?!"

Ye Ping shivered and looked up weakly. Aunt Lu was of the same generation as the headmaster. She had watched him grow up and was like half a parent to him. He had made another mistake... At this moment, he couldn't sit or stand. It was really tormenting to the extreme.

"You'd better remember this!"

While scolding, Aunt Lu cast a purification spell, and the golden light merged into Xu Ran's body.

"How is it? Do you feel better? If you feel better, then you've been purified. I can purify most pollution, unless it's spiritual..."

Xu Ran's eyelids were heavy. "...I'm still exhausted and tired. It must be the mental contamination...Uncle Ye, where's your Jade Flute? Take it out and use it."

Uncle Ye smiled bitterly: "My jade flute's celestial sound has minimal effect on the pollution of the resentful spirits. But it has a miraculous effect on ghost energy."

Aunt Lu: "...My light spell still can't purify? This is troublesome! I'll try again."

She released five or six purifications in succession.

Xu Ran still didn't get any better.

Aunt Lu said solemnly, "Ye Ping, you've gotten into big trouble!"

Xu Ran waved his hand: "It's okay, it's not Uncle Ye's fault, it's me who insisted on studying those strange talismans. In fact, the problem is not big, I will be fine after a good sleep."

Xu Ran spoke to comfort Aunt Lu and Uncle Ye.

Aunt Lu: "Xiao Ran, you can't sleep now. The resentful god's pollution is no joke."

Uncle Ye: "Yes, Xiao Ran, hold on. Let's think of a solution. I'll ask others to help you purify."

Xu Ran smiled faintly, and a confident light flashed in his eyes.

Don't forget, he actually has a hidden trump card - cleansing spirit!

[Cleansing Spirit (Golden Achievement)]: Fortune +30 points; poisonous gas, pollution, and ghostly matter that invade your body will be slowly purified by your body.

After working hard for more than 600 days, I finally got the Golden Legend. The effect is so great that there is no need to explain in detail.

Pollution? What we need to control is pollution!

Xu Ran's consciousness took a glance at the golden achievements, and a resolute smile spread across his features. "It's okay, trust me. When I wake up, we'll go and take out the Nightmare Mother and kill her to cheer her up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ran quickly fell into a coma.

Once falling asleep, the body, having completed three innate baptisms, enters a perfect dormant state, consuming very little mental energy but with the highest energy replenishment efficiency.

After sensing the contamination of the resentful spirit in its body, the clean spirit body became angry and immediately started running at full speed!
Clean energy, madly hunting down the resentful god of pollution.

A faint glow bloomed on Xu Ran's body, and specks of black dust floated out from between his eyebrows.

The frequency of the floating out is neither fast nor slow, basically one per minute.

The tiny dust is difficult for ordinary people to detect, but Aunt Lu and Uncle Ye can see it clearly.

The two of them were both stunned.

"Is this Xiao Ran's body, automatically clearing the resentful god's pollution in his sleep?!"

"How is that possible? For a body to be able to automatically clear away the pollution of the resentful god, it must possess some unique light-type root bone."

Aunt Lu found it hard to understand.

In her memory, only practitioners with a light-type root bone can automatically eliminate the pollution of the resentful god that invades the body, right?
The fire element, lightning element, water element, spirit element... can only be purified to remove the pollution.

How can Xu Ran purify himself?
This isn't right, isn't it about understanding and aptitude?

Is there any connection between the root of enlightenment and the body automatically clearing away the pollution of resentful gods?

Aunt Lu's mind was in a mess and she couldn't think of a reasonable explanation!
"Pingzi, do you know what Xiaoran's self-purification ability is?"

Ye Ping spread his hands: "I don't know."

"But if this happened to Xiao Ran, I think everything is so reasonable..."

His body movement speed was comparable to that of a cultivator with 60000 points of Qi and Health. Four cultivators with 50000 points of Qi and Health were killed instantly by him.

These achievements, if applied to any other six-year-old, would be counterintuitive. But for Xu Ran, they seemed strangely consistent with reality, as if his innate comprehension and innate talent meant him to be invincible.

Aunt Lu: "Reasonable? This is clearly against common sense."

Ye Ping said as if it was a matter of course: "For Xiao Ran, going against common sense is reasonable, isn't it?"

Aunt Lu raised her eyebrows: "That's right."

Two hours passed in a flash.

Aunt Lu was delighted: "His body is really slowly detoxifying. The black smoke coming out of his eyebrows is getting less and less, and his breathing is getting more and more relaxed... This shows that there is very little pollution left."

Aunt Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Xiao Ran has a special body. If anything had gone wrong, you'd just wait for your headmaster to beat you to death!"

Ye Ping was terrified. "I know I was wrong, Aunt Lu. Please don't tell the headmaster this time. I will be very careful next time."

Aunt Lu glared at Ye Ping and didn't say anything. She just sat by the bed, waiting quietly for Xu Ran to wake up.

Two o'clock in the morning.

The handsome young boy lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. His shining eyes regained their former clarity and spirit, and the fatigue and sleepiness in his facial features disappeared completely.

Aunt Lu: "Awake? How do you feel?"

Xu Ran smiled confidently: "Perfect condition."

"I just know that there's nothing a good night's sleep can't solve. If there is, I'll sleep twice."

Ha! Did he really think that the golden achievement he'd achieved after more than six hundred days of self-discipline was just for show? A mere pollution, not worth mentioning.

There is not a trace of pollution left in the body.

perfect!

Aunt Lu was surprised and touched Xu Ran's forehead: "Strange, what kind of ability do you have? You can clear the pollution just by sleeping..."

Xu Ran spread his hands and said, "I don't know. From childhood to adulthood, whenever I feel a little uncomfortable, I just sleep and it's fine."

Aunt Lu and Ye Ping looked at each other. They didn't understand, but were greatly shocked.

Xu Ran jumped out of bed refreshed. "But those talismans are really weird. They seem like resentment, or more like curses from the soul and fate. In short, they are very dangerous." Ye Ping: "That's why I insisted on confiscating those talismans and not allowing you to carry them with you. Anything related to the resentful god is extremely weird! If you are not careful, it's easy to get into trouble!"

"But even if I confiscated those talismans, it almost caused a disaster!"

Xu Ran waved his hand: "This is not Uncle Ye's fault. The culprit is that damned Talisman Resentful God."

Xu Ran's facial features relaxed into a warm and brilliant smile, and he quietly put the Talisman Resentful God into the mortal enemy blacklist.

"Aunt Lu, thank you for coming here so late at night. Go back and get some rest! Uncle Ye and I plan to search for the traces of Nightmare Mother tonight."

Aunt Lu was surprised: "Looking for you in the middle of the night?"

Xu Ran nodded: "Yes."

"Ghostly creatures probably prefer darkness. In the dark, they might be more relaxed, and perhaps reveal some flaws!"

Aunt Lu was skeptical: "That's not necessarily true. I remember Pingzi often searched in the middle of the night once or twice, but he still had no clue."

Ye Ping was ashamed: "..."

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

He hesitated, "Hmm... well, Xiao Ran is different. Maybe we can make some new discoveries?"

Aunt Lu was silent. Just now, she had subconsciously felt that Xu Ran's comprehension and talent might really be the key to breaking the deadlock?
Can one's intellect and bones distort other people's thinking?

strangeness.

It's a problem that even the investigation team can't solve, but she actually puts her hopes on a child. Isn't this a bit absurd?

Aunt Lu gave Xu Ran a strange look, then glanced at Ye Ping: "Whether there are new discoveries or not, remember to protect Xiao Ran and don't let anything go wrong again."

Ye Ping nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely be cautious this time."

Aunt Lu: "Alright, go find the Nightmare Mother!"

"it is good."

Xu Ran climbed up the window and moved around the wall like a gecko.

Gecko Wall Climbing Skill Progress +1...

Gecko Wall Climbing Skill Progress +1...

Gecko Wall Climbing Skill Progress +1...

Uncle Ye looked up at the extremely weird Xu Ran, not knowing what to say.

"You can actually crawl on walls. When did you learn that?"

Xu Ran made up a story: "I learned it from watching geckos."

Uncle Ye was curious: "Can you learn Mantis Fist and Tiger Crane Fist?"

Xu Ran: “I can’t learn this.”

Uncle Ye: "You can learn this."

Xu Ran: “I really can’t learn this.”

Xu Ran was too tired to complain. If he could learn it, he would have worked hard to develop the third sequence of boxing. Unfortunately, the boxing technique could not be triggered. What else could he do?

Uncle Ye: "Really can't learn it?"

"Uncle Ye, don't force me."

Xu Ran quickly jumped between the tall buildings and then arrived at the top floor of the Phoenix Tower, the tallest building in Jing City.

Uncle Ye was skeptical: "With your aptitude for understanding, what can't you learn? You must be hiding something."

Xu Ran spread his hands and smiled: "I'm not hiding... I really can't learn boxing. I don't know why."

Uncle Ye's eyes were full of suspicion, but he didn't continue the topic: "By the way, what are we doing standing on a tall building?"

Xu Ran said seriously: "Look at the Feng Shui."

Uncle Ye was puzzled: "Look at Feng Shui?"

Xu Ran's eyes sparkled: "Yes, if I were the Nightmare Mother, the best place to hide would be the best feng shui."

Uncle Ye smiled. "The Nightmare Mother loves to capture children, and she has tens of thousands of zombie babies on her body, so she might be lurking in the fetal processing area of ​​the abortion hospital, the morgue, or the placenta safe burial site... But we've investigated all of these places. Nothing has come of it."

Xu Ran's serious expression suddenly broke: "Have you investigated all these places?"

Uncle Ye glanced at Xu Ran and said, "We're not fools, are we? We've investigated the sewers several times. When I first arrived, I even investigated all the mountains surrounding Jing City."

Hearing this, Xu Ran was filled with awe. It seemed that Uncle Ye and the investigation team had put in a lot of hard work in places that were not visible.

"But is it true that there is no trace at all?"

Uncle Ye: "I really can't find any trace at all!"

One of his thoughts was wrong, so Xu Ran quickly changed his perspective: "Have the cultivators on the front lines discovered any louse-like creatures? For example, louse fleas, which can hide the ghostly aura by lying on the Nightmare Mother?"

Uncle Ye: "It's only been a few years since the ghost planet invaded Blue Star, and no such creatures have been discovered yet..."

"But your guess... might be close to the truth—some creature capable of masking ghostly auras has obscured the Nightmare Mother's aura! So much so that we can't find it no matter what!"

Uncle Ye opened up his mind, but it also gave him an even greater headache.

Because humans know too little about ghost creatures and ghost planets, and are completely in the exploratory stage, even if they guess that it is some kind of creature that conceals the breath of the Nightmare Mother, they still have no idea where to start!

Xu Ran frowned. "Our lack of understanding of ghost creatures puts us in a passive position. Just guessing is useless..."

Uncle Ye sighed, "So we really can't find it? We can only wait for it to show up? It's already killed over 30,000 children... The next time it shows up, it might bring even greater disaster! Sigh..."

As time went by, Ye Ping's worries about his nightmare mother deepened little by little.

The main reason is that it is too weird and can directly cause nightmares for children. If its ability grows further, it can directly harm the children in Jing City from a distance. How can he stop it?
Although three powerful psychic reinforcements have been lurking in Jing City just in case, they may not be of any use!

Nightmare Resentful Mother can directly enter the child's dream! This ability is a time bomb!
If you can find it in advance and kill it before it explodes, it will undoubtedly be the most worry-free and labor-saving bomb disposal plan.

But if it were to take the initiative to attack, it would be a huge trouble.

At that time, not only will we have to send strong men to stop the nightmare mother, but we will also have to take the safety of the children into consideration.

It's like defusing a bomb, fighting the person who installed it, and rescuing vulnerable hostages at the same time... The difficulty has increased a lot!

Thinking of this, Uncle Ye gritted his teeth and said, "This is so annoying."

"If they jump out and start a fight, seriously injuring me and leaving me bedridden for two or three years, I'd be willing to do that. But these ghostly creatures, hiding in the shadows, are truly disgusting!"

Xu Ran frowned and thought: "Think about it carefully and see where there is a breakthrough..."

"Firstly, the city-wide nightmare erupted in Jing City, which means the main body must be hiding in Jing City. Otherwise, there would be no need to create a city-wide nightmare. There must be a reason for the city-wide nightmare.

Secondly, the Guhuo Chan incident occurred all over the country. The abducted children were sacrificed and transformed into energy bodies, but this cannot be transmitted over long distances. Accomplices must be used to transport this energy from all over the country to the main body.

"So what's the most convenient, most secretive, and safest way to transport it?"

Xu Ran raised a question.

Suddenly, a brilliant flash of inspiration flashed behind Uncle Ye's mind. He seemed to have the answer and looked at Xu Ran with a strange expression.

"You mean...?"
