Chapter 189: Tracking the Five Ghosts

After I packed up my exorcism tools, I gently held the abandoned child in my arms. He was as thin as a kitten, with weak breathing, slightly trembling eyelashes, and a tender face that made me feel a little sympathy. Wu Yu also came over to look at the child in my arms. She had a strong sense of justice and kept scolding the cruelty of the parents. Even if the child was sick, couldn't he be treated?

In less than 30 minutes, the police came to the scene. After we explained the matter, we showed the child in our arms to the police. The county police station called and reported the case. The case was changed from an ordinary criminal case to a major criminal case. As the parties involved, we were naturally left to assist in the investigation. However, even if this incident had not happened, I would have stayed, after all, I had held this child all the way.

The baby in the swaddle had been in a state of suspended animation. Although his breathing was stable like that of an ordinary person, only I knew that if it exceeded seven days, the child would not survive. I learned that the place I was in was called "Da Mao Gou". Before I went to their village, there was an episode. After Sui Yishui resolved his bad luck, he was very grateful to me, but he was very afraid of ghosts and gods, and was afraid that he would encounter ghosts again, so he asked the police comrades to return to Shenyang. Wu Yu's episode made me laugh and cry.

After the forensic doctor and the criminal police team arrived, Wu Yu and I got on the first police car to go to the village to find the child's family, and by the way, they also began to visit and investigate. Not long after we got in the car, I saw her wiping tears. I was also rude and said, "It's okay. The two children should have died not long ago. The village has a fixed population. They will definitely be vindicated."

She cried even more sadly. Even the police tried to comfort her. However, Wu Yu wiped her nose with my clothes and cried, "It's all your fault. You have to compensate my boyfriend. Because I didn't go back to Shenyang today, my boyfriend broke up with me! It's all your fault!"

She threw a tantrum and even the police laughed. The young police officer sitting in the passenger seat turned around and said, "You just need to rush back before 12 o'clock. Doesn't that count as today? How can the boyfriend still compensate?"

"I don't care. I'll blame him. It must be because I was contaminated by evil spirits when I was catching ghosts. That's why I'm unlucky, so you must be responsible." After saying that, Wu Yu still grabbed my arm like he was catching a thief and didn't let go.

The police were stunned and asked the three of us, what catching ghosts? What are you talking about?

I stopped Wu Yu from talking, but she insisted that she broke up because she was scared by ghosts. I was impressed by her logic. She also said that I didn't do anything for her, so she broke up. And it can be seen that she has the characteristics of a tough beauty in Northeast China, that is, she is not subtle at all, and then she told the whole story of exorcising ghosts.

The two policemen naturally didn't believe it, but when Wu Yu described it vividly, the policeman driving next to her snorted and said, "You have read too many novels and movies, and you are crazy, right? What era are there still ghosts? If it's really like what you said, what's the use of us policemen? Just go and get revenge when people die."

"Hey, why don't you believe it! I'm so old, can I still lie to you?" Wu Yu was a little serious.

I pulled her, after all, it was not a big deal. The most taboo in exorcising evil spirits is to make a big fuss, because doing so will lose your merits.

When Wu Yu sat down angrily, two policemen took us to Damaogou. Sui Yishui and other police cars left here on the way to catch the train from Dandong to Chifeng. Before leaving, he asked me for my mobile phone number, but I didn't give it to him. We met by chance, so there was no need to leave too many causes and effects.

But Wu Yu unexpectedly said that she would not leave at all. She told me very formally that if I didn't help her get rid of the evil spirit, she would pester me. I found that she was still stubborn. What does the breakup between lovers have to do with the little ghost? The resentful ghost is very professional and just wants human life. It will not develop other special services, such as destroying the relationship between men and women.

Since she is willing to follow, let her follow. The child in my arms has been in a coma and deep sleep. The pulse is stable. Except for being a little thin, he is almost the same as an ordinary child. It was noon when we arrived at Damao Village. There were not many people in the alley, and the village seemed extremely quiet. The police took us two straight to the village committee.

Since I was the first person to find the person at the scene and I was holding a baby in my arms, I guess they were afraid of being held responsible, so they gave me the title of assisting the investigation. The purpose of this trip was to investigate the murder case and to find the father who had committed the crime of abandonment.

When the police entered the village to investigate, I took the child to a secluded corner and sat down, staring at the little boy who looked like a kitten in my arms. I felt that I had a fate with this child. A cultivator is supposed to cultivate opportunities. Since this child's life was saved by me from the gates of hell, it means that we have a deep karma.

So I wrote a "body-protection talisman" with a cinnabar pen. This talisman must not be easily taken away from the body, and it can keep you safe. I folded the talisman paper into the shape of the Eight Diagrams (I don't know how to check it manually on Baidu), and then passed it through a red line and put it on the child's neck. I read the child's face again and saw that he had a hard life. It would not be easy for him to grow up. He was captured by a ghost less than 100 days after he was born, and then abandoned by his family and had resentment. Don't think that children don't understand anything. In fact, they understand, but you don't.

This caused the child's fate to be broken. Although I don't know his five elements and eight characters yet, this child will definitely have seven killings in his fate. After the age of 20, he will either be rich and powerful or die on the street, or he can be a monk or a Taoist priest. But things are impermanent after all, not to mention that the secrets of heaven are not so easy to peek. To be honest, I really can't understand the deductions of fate, especially Ziwei Dou Shu, which has too many deductions and the secrets of heaven step by step. It is not suitable for people like me who like to travel around. I think it may be more suitable for science students who study mathematics.

Not long after, the police and Wu Yu walked out of the village committee together. The faces of the three of them were a little bad. I stood up with the child in my arms and asked them how they were? Did they find out anything?

Wu Yu said anxiously: "These two kids are brothers. The eldest is Wang Dali and the second is Wang Xiaoli. Last summer, the two kids went to the mountains to play and never came back. They have been missing for a whole year. My mother cried so hard that her eyes were blind."

"That's really tragic. How could this person attack two kids?" I also sighed.

The two police officers were also talking to each other, and then one of them called the team to communicate, but I caught a hint of something wrong, that is, the village chief was hesitant, as if there was something he couldn't say. At this time, I walked up to the village chief holding the child and said, "Uncle, do you think this child is pitiful?"

The village chief came over and took a look, and said, "This child is too thin, is it yours?"

I said that I picked it up in the poplar forest. The village chief was stunned and sighed, "What a sin, I wonder whose child is no longer wanted."

The police said, "Check the birth certificate at the village committee. Whose child was born three months ago? They have committed the crime of abandonment and will be held criminally responsible."

When the village chief heard that it was illegal, he took us to the village office. He called the accountant. In less than 20 minutes, a skinny middle-aged man with glasses came to look for the birth certificate together. Unfortunately, no little boy was born recently. The village chief said at the time: "It must be someone's family who gave birth secretly. Now the family planning management is so strict that only one child is allowed. If caught, the land and assets will be confiscated. I guess they just abandoned the child because they thought the child was unhealthy."

The village accountant sighed and echoed: "Yes, there are often abandoned children forty miles to the north. Although everyone knows that it is a sin, farmers want a son to pass on to their descendants. They hide from place to place every day for fear of being discovered. If they continue to toss like this, most of the fetuses will not develop well, and some will have congenital problems due to malnutrition. Those grandparents will secretly throw the children into the woods to fend for themselves."

The police said: "If you say so, it will be really difficult to find the parents of this child?"

"There are so many people in the village, it must be difficult to find. Rural women are not as pretentious as those in the city. Some can work after giving birth. You can't tell whether someone in a family has done confinement or not." The village chief said again.

The village accountant also suggested that we send the children to an orphanage, saying that the rural areas were too poor to raise them and that the government should take care of them. But Wu Yu got anxious after hearing this: "Do you know that this is a crime? Let me tell you, even if the children are sent to an orphanage, their parents will be punished. You only know how to give birth to children, and you have to take care of them after they are born. You just want to feel good for a while, but you throw away such a big child. Isn't it immoral!"

Wu Yu didn't tolerate anyone when he spoke, and he was quite heroic, which touched our hearts. The police decided to conduct a house-to-house investigation. Two police officers acted separately, one went to the homes of the two dead children to inquire, and the other investigated which family had been pregnant some time ago. It is impossible that such a big child could not hear the cry.

Seeing how they were in a mess, I decided to find the parents of the baby first. As for the village chief's unspeakable secrets, I could only put it aside for a while. I said to them seriously: "I can find his parents."

"How to find? Are you going to count?" The police said a little impatiently. The two policemen were just graduates, one was called Hongwei and the other was called Ma Yu. The one who was talking was Hongwei, the materialist who was driving.

I really didn't want to show off, I just wanted to find the kid's family as soon as possible. His three souls were taken away by the little ghost. Although I used silver needles to seal the seven spirits, I still need the help of my family to call back the soul.

"Can you help me find three incense sticks and a cup for drinking?" I said to the village chief and the village accountant.

"Incense? What do you need incense for?" The two were a little surprised.

Wu Yu said from the side that I was a Taoist priest, and her words and deeds showed that she admired me very much. She also gossiped about the ghost in the grove, which made the village chief call me a god. In the countryside, Taoist priests and Yin and Yang masters are extremely respected. Then the village chief ran home and brought me a small bundle of incense.

The magnificent policeman snorted coldly: "Feudal superstition, we are here to investigate the case. You will make outsiders misunderstand that our police station is involved in feudal superstition. It's ridiculous."

I took the incense, thinking only of saving people. I determined the direction with the compass, took a drop of blood from the boy's forehead, dripped it on the talisman paper, and then drew a nine-square grid with a branch, placed the compass in the center of the grid, lit three incense sticks, worshiped the sky three times, and then bowed and placed it at the front of the nine-square grid.

Holding the talisman paper in my hand and preparing everything, I said to a few people: "If you want to find the family of this child, someone has to cooperate with me. Who will come?"

"I will!" Wu Yu immediately volunteered.

I shook my head: "This is the Five Ghosts Tracking Technique, which is not suitable for women. It can only be used by young and middle-aged people. So, two police officers, who will cooperate?"
