When Daoist Master Su heard my shout, he hurriedly put away the talisman. The talisman had already started to burn, and scattered sparks fell. This scared Shujun so much that she quickly reached out her hand to cover for her child.

I stepped forward, and Shujun, her hair in disarray, dropped to her knees and kowtowed to us with the child in her arms, begging, "I beg you, please don't hurt my child!"

I stepped forward and helped Shujun up. However, she seemed to be exceptionally careful. Even when my hand accidentally touched her child, she was moved.

After a long time, when Shujun had calmed down, I asked her why she was here in the middle of the night with the baby in her arms.

As I said this, I looked into Shu-jun's arms. She wasn't carrying a child, she was carrying the ghost of a baby.

However, I don't know how Shujun was able to see that child's soul. Could it be that the child's ghost in her arms is really the child's soul in her womb?

Su Jun straightened her messy hair and looked up timidly at Daoist Su and I. She whispered, "Old Master Hong wanted to kill my son. I can only hide him here."

I looked at the corner of Shujun's eye, glanced at the well beside her, and pointed to it. "Are you talking about this well? Why did Master Hong want to kill your child? Isn't your child still in your stomach? "

Shujun suddenly raised her head and widened her eyes as she looked at me and Dao Elder Su in shock. Then, as if she had gone mad, she pointed at us and yelled, "It's you guys! Old Master Hong, you are here to kill my son, right? "

I was afraid that she would wake up everyone in the house by making a ruckus, so I quickly went over to cover her mouth. Shujun was so furious that I couldn't control her for a while, so I had no choice but to ask Mu Feng for help.

Who knew that Mu Feng would go up and snatch the child in her arms and throw it to Daoist Priest Su.

The little child went into his arms, and immediately began to cry. When Shujun saw this, her legs immediately became weak, and she fell on the ground, rolling and crawling towards Taoist Su. She was still shouting, asking us to return her child to her.

I squatted down and used all my strength to pull on her shoulders, but Mu Feng went behind her and pressed his hand on mine. The two of us, one in front and one behind, finally managed to hold her down.

I felt a chill on the back of my hand and couldn't help but roll my eyes at Mu Feng. I thought to myself, "I'm asking you to help, not to take advantage of me!"

Mu Feng grinned and smiled mischievously at me. I ignored him and looked towards the crying Sue.

Her expression was lifeless, and her entire body seemed to have been possessed by a demon. Her body couldn't help but tremble as she kept chanting, "Give me back my child!" "My child!"

Her sobbing made my nose sour. How is she like that enchanting and graceful woman in the day?!

I was unable to communicate with Shujun in her current state. I could only see Mu Feng slowly exhaling a breath towards her back.

When that cold energy entered Shujun's body, she shivered for a moment before finally calming down. Her eyes slowly turned clear as well.

"Shujun, are you alright?" I probed her eyes. She looked at me with a bit of fear, then looked at Taoist Su with heartache.

I turned my head to take a look. Taoist Su did not immediately put away the child's soul. Instead, he used his hands to embrace it steadily.

I pointed to the child in Taoist Su's arms and probed, "Is that your child? Is it the child in your womb? "

Shujun nodded at me, and I asked her, "But that's just a soul. Is that the soul of the child in your womb? But why is your child's soul here? "

Shujun looked at me warily, but she didn't say anything.

I leaned close to her, took out her pink muslin handkerchief, and gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. I whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, we were invited by Master Hong, but we are only here to take care of things. If Master Hong wants to do something bad, we will not help him or harm your child!"

Finally, a glimmer of hope flashed in Shujun's eyes. She grabbed my wrist and asked me excitedly, "Really? You won't hurt my child! "

I sincerely nodded at her and helped her up from the ground.

At this time, Daoist Priest Su also walked over and returned the child in his hands to Su-jun.

Upon seeing her child, Matriarch He immediately held her in her arms, crying as she coaxed her child.

As soon as the little ghost entered my arms, it immediately stopped crying. Instead, it rolled its big eyes and looked at me.

If this child wasn't translucent, I would have treated him as a normal child.

Dao Lord Su and I sat by the well with her. Only then did she slowly tell us the whole story.

So it turns out that the first half of the information that Old Master Hong told me and Daoist Su was true.

Old Master Hong's daughter-in-law, Susu, was indeed pregnant with someone else's child. After the child was born, it was indeed a ghost's womb. Hong Haibin sent the child to a nearby family under the buddhist hall.

That child died on the same day. He caused a huge ruckus in that family, and the family had no choice but to send the child's corpse back to the Hong family.

Since Hong Haibin refused to take the child into his family and Susu was still alive at the time, she didn't know the reason behind Hong Haibin sending the child away. Since she refused to let Hong Haibin send the child into the buddhist hall again, she took the child with her and buried the child's corpse under a giant locust tree behind Patriarch Hong's house.

I looked in the direction that Su-jun was pointing at. There were many locust trees planted in the backyard and outside of the walls. The locust trees were a kind of shady thing, no wonder Old Master Hong's house had such a heavy yin aura.

However, from that day onwards, Hong Haibin became sick. Not long after that, Susu also died in an accident.

Only then did Old Master Hong panic. He believed that Susu's child, who had buried grievances within him, was causing trouble in their house.

Old Master Hong usually believes in Taoism and would spend time every year to donate incense to large Taoists. Thus, he knew quite a few Taoists and Maoshan Warlocks.

I know that this is how Dao Elder Su was invited here. However, Shujun said that before we came, there was a Taoist who was invited here by Old Master Hong.

It was just that at that time, she was only three months pregnant, so she could only nurture her baby in peace. She did not care about the matters of the family, nor did she know what the Daoist said to Master Hong.

After Shujun's child was born, he would allow Hong Haibin's soul to enter. Patriarch Hong also said that was the only way to save Hong Haibin's life and prevent him from getting killed by that ghost baby.
