"Did you kill this child with your own hands?" I asked in surprise.

"Yes, the baby's eyes were still blinking when he landed on the ground. I committed a sin and killed a life. Not long after that, I started to hear the baby crying. I thought it was an illusion, but the sound became more and more obvious. Even, every time I fell asleep, I could hear a child's voice calling me mom. I felt so cold and hateful." When she said this, she almost collapsed emotionally.

I don't know how to persuade her. This is a typical case of asking for trouble. Who can I blame?

It wasn't until the afternoon that Luo Tianbao called me to tell me he had arrived and asked me to go pick someone up. I said to Sisi, "Come with me. These two people should be able to solve your problem."

"It's completely useless. I've asked a wizard to exorcise the evil spirits, but they all suffered great losses."

I was startled and asked, "What happened to the mage?"

"This master is no ordinary person. He learned from a great monk in Shaolin Temple. When he was performing a ritual on me, he was struck by a cold. His face turned black and he was almost frozen stiff. Later, his friend invited the abbot of Baiyun Temple to perform a ritual for seven consecutive days before he recovered. Otherwise, I would have died."

I secretly took a deep breath. It seemed that the resentment of this infant spirit was extremely strong and could not be easily subdued. Would I cause trouble for my family?

But they were already here, and I couldn't let them go back. I could only talk about it after we met. So I said, "Just go. Even if it doesn't work out, it won't be a loss for you. What if it does work out?"

"Yu Zhen, no matter what, I thank you for helping me. You are a good person." After saying that, she put her head on my chest, and after a while she left to put on her clothes.

I took a taxi to the bus station and saw two people standing at the exit. The older brother always looked aggressive, as if he disliked everyone.

I went to tell him the truth first: "If Big Brother feels that this matter is dangerous, just give him a perfunctory answer. I don't want my family to suffer any loss."

"Let's go and see the situation first. What others can't do doesn't mean I can't do it. Everything depends on human effort." He was very confident.

I then introduced Sisi to the two of them. After a few pleasantries, Wu Tianxiong said, "I've heard all about your experiences from my brothers, but there's one thing I need to confirm. You've had a mage perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits, right?"

"Yes, this wizard is quite famous in Shanghai. He shouldn't be a scam..."

"He's definitely not a scammer. If the ritual had no effect, he wouldn't have been struck by the cold. This person must be in the same industry."

"If you two feel that this is dangerous, I completely understand. I don't want to implicate anyone else..."

Wu Tianxiong waved his hand and said, "You misunderstood me. I should be able to help you with this matter."

"Oh, can you really help me?" Sisi immediately became excited.

"I can't guarantee anything like this, but being possessed by an infant spirit isn't uncommon. We deal with several cases every year, so we have some experience."

I was surprised and asked, "How can this happen so often?"

"Too many people are having abortions nowadays. This kind of thing is directly proportional to the number of abortions. However, the reasons for being possessed by infant spirits are different, so the solutions are also different. If we encounter a particularly troublesome one, we won't be able to handle it." Wu Tianxiong said.

"As long as there is hope."

I hailed a taxi and didn't mention the incident until we were in the girl's house. Wu Tianxiong then asked, "Have you heard of the exorcism methods used by that wizard?"

Sisi said, "They also came with three people. One drew a circle on the ground with a red pen and told me to sit in it. Another was singing and dancing with a feather duster. The mage placed a clay statue of a child in front of me, about half a meter tall, and kept beating it with a peach branch dipped in rice washing water."

Without a second thought, Wu Tianxiong let out a mocking smile and said, "These people are so confident that they actually use the method of beating little ghosts to exorcise evil spirits. The infant spirits are already full of resentment, but he fought them head-on. To be able to save his life, the old monk of Baiyun Temple must have great supernatural powers."

I asked in confusion, "The infant spirit hasn't even taken human form yet, so why would it harbor such strong resentment?"

Wu Tianxiong said, "If you believe in the cycle of life and death, it's easy to understand. Every life that dies will enter the cycle of reincarnation. Reincarnation as a human is a privilege only granted to those with great merit in their previous lives. But after all the hardships, not only did they not become human, but they were killed in their mother's womb. How could they not feel resentment? Therefore, infant spirits hold the strongest resentment of all ghosts . Once entangled by one, it's difficult to escape."

"But there are so many people having abortions. If all those unborn fetuses become infant spirits, wouldn't this world be in chaos?" I said.

"This is a rare event. Not all aborted fetuses will become infant spirits. However, the infant spirit that haunts Sisi is the result of her extreme behavior. As a mother, you killed your baby with your own hands because of someone else's mistake. Naturally, the child will be unwilling to accept this death."

With a thud, Sisi knelt down in front of Wu Tianxiong and said, "Master, please save me. If I continue to be haunted by the infant spirit, I really won't be able to survive."

"Even at this point, you can only think about yourself?" Wu Tianxiong frowned slightly.

Sisi was smart and quickly changed her words, "I am sorry for the child. Although I know that no matter what I do, I can't make up for the loss of a life, but I am willing to use everything I have to atone for my sins, as long as the child doesn't suffer so much after death." Later she realized that she had gone too far and burst into tears.

Wu Tianxiong nodded and said, "Your words are quite decent. If you want to reconcile with the child, there is a direct way, but the prerequisite is that the child's body can be found."

Sisi immediately perked up and said, "We can find it, we will definitely find it. I was very sad when I aborted the child. I covered the body with a piece of yellow cloth and put it in a small jade box and buried it in the ground. I didn't just throw the child's body away."

Wu Tianxiong said, "So in the dream, the child still called you mom. Fortunately, you didn't take it too far. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just hearing the crying."

Sisi lowered her head and whispered, "I feel sorry for the child. I am willing to pay any price for him."

"The infant spirit can only be delivered and sent away, and can never be solved by driving it away or beating it. Even if you find a powerful Taoist priest with talismans from the Three Mountains to suppress it, it will suffer backlash sooner or later. So arrange a funeral for it and bury it in the ancestral tomb with dignity. The infant spirit has no fate to be a human being in this life, so what needs to be done is to let it enter the cycle of reincarnation as soon as possible. Only by entering the next life of reincarnation can the resentment of the infant spirit be completely eliminated. This is the process of delivering the infant spirit." Wu Tianxiong said.

"I understand. Then let's go find the child's body now?" Sisi said.

"Yes, but not now, but after midnight." Wu Tianxiong glanced around and said, "You are really ignorant. At this point, at least buy some toys and snacks for the child to eat at home?"

"I was negligent, I really was negligent." After saying that, Sisi hurriedly looked for her wallet.

"Buy more, and buy good ones." Wu Tianxiong reminded.

It was more than an hour later that Sisi came back, carrying a lot of things in big and small bags. When she emptied them, they were all imported snacks and toys.

"Where should I put these things?" Sisi asked.

"Put all these things on the table on the west side of the living room. Place an incense burner behind the toys and snacks. Insert three incense sticks but don't light them."

Sisi did everything as she was told, and Wu Tianxiong also forbade the family to light a fire and have hot food, so we could only buy some bread and stewed dishes to eat cold. In the evening, the sad and ethereal crying of a child appeared again. Wu Tianxiong and Luo Tianbao acted as if they didn't hear it. They sat on the sofa in the living room with their eyes closed to rest. Sisi was not as panicked as last night, but her body was still trembling slightly.

However, the noise was smaller than yesterday. I wonder if it was related to the snacks and toys.

We waited until midnight and called a taxi from the taxi company. The child's body was buried in an orchard on the outskirts of the city. As we went downstairs, Wu Tianxiong said, "During funerals, you must not look back, and don't be overly curious about the things around you. This is disrespectful to the deceased ."
