The cold wind blew into the room as the door was pushed open. The scattered hair on the floor was blown all over the place. Old He's corpse floated on the thin hemp rope.

The village chief was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. I stood at the door and looked at Old He's bulging eyes and his long tongue. I didn't dare to enter the house.

Aunt Tao entered the house and circled around Old He's body. She told me and the village chief that she wanted to move my father's grave.

The village chief nodded his head in agreement. I also nodded my head in agreement without hesitation.

After the village chief called a few villagers over to put down Old He's corpse, he asked Aunt Tao how the fine hemp rope could hang a person.

Aunt Tao mentioned that Old He's hair had been shaved.

He who has been shaven has lost three souls, and is lighter than the soul.

The village chief had a look of realization on his face, he was even more respectful to Aunt Tao and immediately called for people to follow me to the back of the mountain to move the graves.

Before digging the grave, Aunt Tao ordered someone to block the white cloth above my father's grave.

When my father was buried, there was a coffin. When the coffin was opened, there was no corpse of my father inside.

When I was digging, I didn't see the yellow cloth bag that Chen Chunxi had buried on top of the grave.

The person digging the grave looked at each other, Aunt Tao's forehead tightened up even more. She didn't say anything more, just told her people to bury the coffin somewhere else and then prepare to bring me back.

The village chief followed behind us and asked Aunt Tao what we should do with Old He's corpse. My father's corpse had disappeared, so would these two matters cause any problems in the village?

Aunt Tao did not stop, she told the village head to deal with it, she did not know if there would be any problems, and would return to the village later.

On the way, I couldn't help but ask Aunt Tao where my father went. Did he get buried in the wrong place?

Aunt Tao said that she also wanted to know where my father's body is now.

The back of the mountain only had one fierce cave, which was just enough to bury my father.

That fierce point was the backside of the main body and was also the opposite of the elbow.

If the main culprit was buried, his descendants would be disrespectful to their elders. However, if the main culprit was buried, there would be people fighting for power and courage in the future, and the calamity would befall them.

She saw that the Yin Acupoints' abilities were lacking, but she did not know how the effect of the Acupoint of Vicious would change after the two forces overlaid each other.

She didn't want my father's yin acupoints to be detrimental to me, so she hoped to see some clues related to Chen Chunxi's mischievous womb. Hence, she suggested moving my father's grave.

She also did not expect that both my father's corpse and the yellow cloth bag that Chunxi had buried on top of my father's grave would actually all be gone.

After listening to Aunt Tao's answer, my mouth opened wide but in the end, my mouth didn't say anything.

Other than me, everyone else in my family is dead, I already wouldn't marry anyone else. If not for the incident with Chen Chunxi, I wouldn't have had any more descendants.

As for me, I won't forget my kindness or fight for courage. I just want to live a peaceful and safe life.

Aunt Tao asked me if I had any other questions. I asked her hesitantly, whether Chen Chunxi would really be drowned to death, and said urgently that it wasn't her fault that she was pregnant, it was all my father's fault.

Aunt Tao laughed bitterly, saying that she knew Chen Chunxi was innocent. Right now, not mentioning anything else, she only said that Chen Chunxi was pregnant with a ghost embryo.

Under normal circumstances, a ghost would have to stay in the human body for at least three months before reaching the point where it was familiar with everything.

However, it was hard to say how much Chen Chunxi had in her womb.

The moment that the ghost head died was also the moment that the mother died.

From the moment Chen Chunxi became pregnant with the Ghost Birth, she had been hopeless. She was in a hurry to return right now because she wanted to find out who the so-called solution was from.

If her guess was not wrong, Chen Chunxi's so-called solution was to create a ghost embryo.

I have already seen the situation in the village, the matter is very troublesome, it is extremely possible that someone was behind Chen Chunxi's accident.

If she knew that the village would turn out like this, she would have stayed in the Aunt House until Chen Chunxi woke up. She had underestimated the severity of the matter.

Hearing Aunt Tao's words, I sped up my pace, I did not want to be unable to see Chunxi one last time.

When Aunt Tao and I returned to the Aunt House, the Self-bunning Lady s inside the Aunt House were all outside Chen Chunxi's room, fear and shock on their faces.

The Aunt Tao had a serious expression on her face. She told me to wait for her there and then quickly return to her room.

My heart was too anxious to know about Chunxi's situation. I didn't wait for Aunt Tao to come out of her room before rushing into Chunxi's room.

On Chunxi's bed, there was Chunxi, who had already stopped breathing and his lower body was already wide-eyed, and a white, fat girl.

Dazzling blood dyed most of the sheets and blankets red. The girl giggled as she crawled around in the pool of blood.

What I saw stunned me for a moment. I quickly walked up to the demon and reached out to grab her arm, wanting to throw her off the bed.

I hate this ghost head, it was her who took Chunxi's life.

The combination of grief and resentment made me completely fearless of ghosts for the time being.

Just as my hand made contact with the demon's arm, the ghost turned its head and bit into my palm. An intense pain assaulted me and I reflexively retracted my hand before retreating.

Fresh blood flowed down from my palm. A piece of flesh was missing from my palm.

The girl spat out the meat from her mouth and giggled as she sat on the bed and held out her arms to me.

At this time, Aunt Tao's face suddenly changed, and she immediately threw the yellow talisman in her hand towards the ghost head.

Her originally black and white clear eyes were instantly filled with black paint. She then jumped up from the bed, in the blink of an eye, she had already rushed out of the window and leaped out of the Aunt House gate's wall.

Yellow Runes followed closely behind the demon, and disappeared without a trace as the demon jumped out of Aunt House's courtyard wall.

The Aunt Tao walked quickly to me and pulled my injured hand.

Just as I wanted to tell Aunt Tao that I was alright, my vision went black and I almost fell down head first.

Aunt Tao supported me and sent someone to make a stretcher. She told me that I had been poisoned by the Ghost Infant and that she would send me to the temple to cure the poison.

I looked at my injured hand and saw that the wound had turned black, and the black was spreading in all directions.

Panic filled my heart, and I quivered as I asked Aunt Tao if I would die.

After Aunt Tao said that maybe she would, maybe she wouldn't, I pressed my lips together and didn't ask anymore questions.

The simple stretcher was completed very quickly. Aunt Tao let me lie on the stretcher and had two Self-bunning Lady carry me to the temple with her.

Along the way, I would occasionally feel extremely cold, and other times, I would be drenched in sweat due to the heat.

When the temperature of my body started to become abnormal, my wounds started to burn with an excruciating pain, and my body began to twitch in pain.

The little me clenched my teeth and tried not to make a sound, for fear I would be irritating and be abandoned on the road.

There was no way up the mountain. There were weeds and trees everywhere, and it was hard to walk on.

I heard Aunt Li, who was carrying me, ask the Aunt Tao how good the Taoist Jingyan was.

Aunt Tao said that she has never seen Taoist Jingyan before, she has only heard of Taoist Jingyan before, she doesn't know how to cure the poison in the demon's embryo, she can only bring me here to try her luck.

She had never been to a monastery before, and this was also the first time she went to one.

Hearing Aunt Tao's words, I gradually felt despair, and felt that it was even more difficult to endure the discomfort my body was experiencing.

When we were halfway up the hill, it was dusk. I was no longer cold or hot or twitching, but my wound hurt more.

I could feel something biting at my wound and sucking my blood, but when I raised my hand, I didn't see anything extra.

Ever since I started feeling like I was being sucked in, Aunt Li had said several times that I was a bit too heavy. Aunt Tao who was walking in front of the group turned his head to look at me, but she was only trying to comfort me that I would arrive at the temple soon.

When I was carried to the temple at the top of the mountain, the sky was already completely dark.

Our group was unable to find the Taoist Jingyan in the monastery, and in the entire ruined monastery, we only found a young Taoist sitting in meditation.

The little Daoist was about one or two years older than me. He was wearing an oversized Daoist robe and had a bun tied around his head. Ever since we entered the monastery, he sat on the praying mat with a cold expression and watched us silently.

When the Aunt Tao asked him about the whereabouts of the Taoist Jingyan, the little cultivator finally spoke up. He told us that the Taoist Jingyan had gone far away, but he didn't know when he would return.

Aunt Tao frowned, and looked at me helplessly.

I was so desperate that I could no longer hold back the tears in my heart like beads with a broken string.

"Get out!" After a while, the little Daoist suddenly spoke in a cold voice and stared at my wound. He then got up from the prayer mat and walked over to me.

The little Daoist's words made me cry even more. I am already hopeless, and he still wants me to get out.

The Aunt Tao looked at the little Daoist, and the two Self-bunning Lady s who brought me here pointed angrily at the little Daoist, saying that he was too rude.

"Still not getting out?" The little Taoist came to my side, crouched down, and spoke again in a cold voice.

As the little Taoist said this, I saw an unknown thing with a long, translucent tail appear on the stretcher, and the feeling of being sucked by something in my wound immediately disappeared.

The moment the unknown thing jumped into the ground, it disappeared from my sight.

I stopped crying in my heart. The two Self-bunning Lady s who were criticizing the little Daoist for being impolite immediately became silent with fear in their eyes, while the Aunt Tao found it hard to hide her astonishment.

"She was poisoned by the Ghost Infant." The little cultivator's gaze followed that unknown object all the way to the entrance of the temple and then coldly opened his mouth once more.

I looked at the little Taoist with hope in my heart, Aunt Tao requested for the little Taoist to cure me of the poison with a serious expression on his face.

"It's so ugly. Leave it here, you guys come pick her up in half a month." The little Daoist took my pulse and examined my wound, then gave me a look of disdain.

The Aunt Tao did not hesitate to agree, and followed the little Daoist's request to immediately leave the temple with the other two Self-bunning Lady s.

After Aunt Tao and the others left, the little Daoist boy squatted beside me and looked at me coldly.

"Call me big brother Zuo, I'll send you to your room." Under the cold gaze of the little Daoist, I was at a loss of what to do. However, the little Daoist suddenly cracked his lips and laughed, revealing his snow-white teeth.

The change in the little Daoist's style gave me a shock.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the little Taoist before calling him Zuo gege.

My body is so weak that I can't stand up. I still need to rely on the young Daoist to cure me of the poison, so naturally, I won't challenge the young Daoist.

The little Daoist immediately took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and fed it to me.

After I took the pill, a cool feeling spread through my body, and my strength began to recover.

The little cultivator squatted beside me and told me that he was Zuo Mu and that he was ten years old. He also asked me how old I was.

When I replied that I was Gan Mei and she was already eight years old, Zuo Mu told me that Taoist Jingyan was his master but he was not a Daoist.

I can relax a hundred times, he definitely won't let me die.

"But …" Zuo Mu scratched his head, he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Only what?" My heart skipped a beat and I immediately asked.

"However, I am still unable to cure you of the poison. In the end, I will suppress the remaining poison in your body." After Zuo Mu finished speaking, he quickly declared to me that it was not because he was lacking in skills, but that even with his master here, he would not be able to cure me of the poison.

I let out a long breath and said it was fine. It was good enough for me to be alive.

Zuo Mu opened his mouth wanting to say something more but eventually stopped himself. He helped me up and arranged for me to stay in the room next to his.

Zuo Mu prepared a meal and brought it to my room. After eating dinner with me, he told me that it was already dark, and that he would go find the ingredients needed to poison me when the sun rose.

The pill I took had stopped the spread of the poison in my body.

I said thank you to Zuo Mu and nodded. I asked him what was that translucent thing from before.

Zuo Mu said that knowing too much was not good for me, so he did not answer my question. Before he left the room, he jokingly told me that if I had anything to do, as long as I shouted for Big Brother Zuo, he would immediately rush over.

I rolled my eyes at Zuo Mu's back. After Zuo Mu left the room, I quickly fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly woke up cold.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the Ghost Infant had already appeared on my bed, baring her fangs and biting towards my throat.
