94. Fakes(1/2)
Since she had made an agreement with Tantai Jin, Su Su told herself that when she saw him again, she would be focused on nothing else and finding Gongye Ji would not matter.
Zanghai came back after collecting the tortoise shell, and his face didn't look very good.
The four of them were sitting in a stone pavilion with pear blossom trees outside Zhang's residence. Zanghai showed them the hexagrams: "This is the hexagram I divined for Mrs. Zhang's unborn child. This area is for birth."
Su Su looked at the tortoise shell pointed by Zanghai and found obvious cracks on it.
The lifeline of the Lord's life was cracked, which proved that the baby could not be saved.
Zanghai put away the tortoise shell and optimistically comforted everyone: "Maybe it's not that bad. I'm not good at studying. Who can say for sure about fate? Previously, only my junior brother and I were here, and the child was in bad luck. Now Junior Sister Li and
Junior Sister Yaoguang is here, and the baby can survive even if it is not saved."
Tantai Jin took a sip of tea and glanced at Zanghai.
Zanghai can't do anything else, but his talent in divination is outstanding.
Divining Zanghai for immortals may be difficult, and it takes a lot of spiritual energy to predict good or bad luck in a short period of time, but divining a mortal baby is more than enough for Zanghai.
The result of his divination said that the baby could not be saved and the possibility of the child dying was very high.
The cultivation of the four of them is not low, but if this doesn't work, Tantai Jin will inevitably think deeply about what kind of monster is hiding in the town?
Tantai Jin said: "Tonight is a cloudy day and Mrs. Zhang will give birth."
His tone was firm and no one questioned it. There was evil aura in the Zhang Mansion, but there were no monsters. It looked peaceful. Except for the Eight Willow Demon Gathering Array in the back mountain that Tantai Jin mentioned, there was nothing strange in the manor.
It's like the calm before the storm, which makes people even more frightened.
Yaoguang looked solemn and said: "Set up the formation in advance in the delivery room, and we will guard Mrs. Zhang."
Su Su felt something was wrong, and a pair of dark eyes flashed in her mind.
She decided to speak out: "I think Zhang Fansheng looks strange."
Zanghai said: "That child? My junior brother and I also found it strange before. After checking later, we found that he is just an ordinary child. It is said that he did not like to talk when he was born and has a withdrawn personality. Recently, his cat was lost and he is looking for it everywhere."
Su Su just mentioned it casually. After all, she had been in contact with children, and there was no evil spirit or anything wrong with her.
Besides, Mrs. Zhang is Zhang Fansheng’s biological mother. Even Mrs. Zhang doesn’t think her son is weird, so Zhang Fansheng should have no problem.
"Where is Yuan Wai Zhang?" Su Su asked, "Mrs. Zhang is about to give birth, why can't she see Yuan Wai Zhang?"
"Oh, I went to run the tea business. I heard that I will be back today." Zanghai replied.
Sure enough, before it got dark, Zhang Yuanwai came back after a long journey.
He exchanged greetings with Mrs. Zhang, and then saluted Tantai Jin and others in turn.
Zanghai and Zhang Yuanwai were locked in a trap, and Tantai Jin's hand seemed to have accidentally brushed Zhang Yuanwai's shoulder.
He squinted his eyes, and it turned out to be normal.
No one in the house is unusual.
Su Su noticed his movements and couldn't help but look at Zhang Yuanwai. Zhang Yuanwai had a mustache, a clever mouth and was very good at talking.
When Mrs. Zhang saw him, her eyes were as gentle as water, and she saw that the couple were usually very affectionate. Mr. Zhang was rich, but he did not take any concubines.
After a while, Mrs. Zhang had a seizure, and the midwife quickly prepared to help her deliver the baby.
Zhang Yuanwai was pacing anxiously outside the door, while Su Su and others were hiding in the darkness.
Yaoguang said in awe: "This is my first time waiting to have a baby."
Tantai Jin lowered his eyes and clenched the Hunyuan Sword in his hand.
He was born different from ordinary people and had memories of his birth. He had no love at all, and he did not hesitate to kill Concubine Rou in order to come to earth.
The Emperor of Zhou hated him because of Concubine Rou's death, and the palace staff abused him everywhere. He never understood what was wrong. He just wanted to live. Who is born to die?
Now that he has Qingsi, he is inevitably at a loss.
Shouldn't this be done?
Why, if that woman lives, he will die.
He wanted to live, even if he didn't have enough food and clothing, even if he was laughed at, beaten and scolded by others, he still wanted to live.
No, he looked at the lines on the sword with gloomy eyes, he was right!
No one in the world loves him. Even if Concubine Rou is alive, she will eventually despise him. People who are destined to betrayal should die.
Su Su squatted beside him and noticed that his breath was slightly disordered.
She suddenly remembered the scene she had seen in the nightmare dreamland. The birth of the demon god came with a cruel price.
She thought of that gentle and kind-hearted concubine.
There is also a swaddled baby holding a dead mouse and shivering in order to survive.
Su Su untied her Qiankun bag and stuffed a piece of sycamore wood shaped like a rabbit into each person's hand.
Yaoguang said in surprise: "Is this... the sycamore tree from Changze Mountain?"
Su Su nodded, with a smile in her tone: "My father carved it when I was young. In order to prevent me from running around, he cast magic on it to help people calm down. I don't know what the monster in the dark is. We took the sycamore tree with us,
So that you can be alert at all times.”
Zanghai praised: "Fairy Li is still considerate."
Su Su played with the rabbit in her palm and smiled at him.
Tantai Jin was caught off guard and a wooden rabbit appeared in his hand. It was small and exquisite, no bigger than a finger. It looked dull and very well-behaved.
The rabbit is surrounded by white aura.
The heavy depression in his heart slowly dissipated, and he looked at Su Su sluggishly.
The girl looked at the delivery room as if nothing had happened.
On one side, someone holds a piece of sycamore wood, and on the other side there is a loud cry of a baby.
Tantai Jin put away the wooden rabbit and put it together with the jade pendant. When he noticed something, he raised his eyes and stared at the delivery room: "The Yin time has arrived."
The child indeed has a three-yin body, and such a constitution is most likely to attract evil spirits.
They are a great tonic for demons.
The midwife came out with the baby in her arms: "Congratulations to Yuan Wai Zhang, congratulations to Yuan Wai Zhang, Madam, for giving birth to a little boy."
Zhang Yuanwai breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed. He couldn't help but look at the child while holding it in his arms, grinning from ear to ear with joy.
Su Su saw the crumpled baby in his arms. The baby was very healthy.
Zhang Yuanwai quickly carried the child and went in to accompany his wife.
Zanghai said: "Nothing happened."
Su Su also felt strange. Logically speaking, shouldn't the demon come to snatch the baby?
Tantai Jin looked at the evil spirit spreading in the house and said, "Wait a little longer."
This wait lasted several days.
Zhang Yuanwai hosted a banquet for everyone and said tactfully: "The recent rumors about the missing baby in the town may be just an excuse for the missing child in their family. Ninghe Town has been stable since ancient times, and there are no monsters anywhere. You are worried about my wife, and now Lin'er
I have been born safely. If you Taoist priests still have something to do, I will definitely reward you with a lot of money and practice well for you."
Su Suwan didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, the owner wanted them to leave.
Nothing happened in the house, and Zhang Yuanwai looked at them as if they were watching magicians.
Just as Yaoguang was about to say something, Tantai Jin smiled and said, "Okay, then we won't bother you anymore and will leave now."
He cupped his fists and saluted, and walked out of the house without asking for the silver that Zhang Yuanwai asked someone to bring.
Susu and the others followed.
Zanghai said: "It's so strange. If there are no demons, then where did this demonic energy come from?"
Yaoguang also said: "Are we really going to leave?"
The fluttering pear blossoms fell at Tantai Jin's feet, and he said: "Keep waiting in the dark and see what happens."
At dusk, Zhang Yuanwai left the house in a carriage.
"My wife has just given birth, and he is in a hurry to start business?" Zanghai asked.
Su Su took a magic spell and brushed it over her eyes.
When she looked at the carriage again, she saw the small group of swaddling clothes in Yuan Zhang's box.
"The child is in the carriage."
"What? Where is Zhang Yuanwai taking his son?"
Everyone immediately realized that the demon might appear, and they followed him quietly.
When the carriage left the town, it took a detour and drove from a small road to the mountain behind Zhang Mansion.
Yaoguang said: "He is going to the Eight Willows Demon Gathering Array."
How could Zhang Yuanwai harm his own child?
