“Eternal Life…”

Just as I was stunned, Xu Yuanzhi called me. From his voice, I heard too many things, some solemn, some shocked, some puzzled, some questions... It seemed that there was something important to tell me.

I looked at him, and he also looked at me, frowning, with a complicated look in his eyes, and his lips trembled twice, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

His appearance made me feel nervous. I was told intuition that something must have happened. My throat rolled a few times and asked, "What...what happened?"

Xu Yuanzhi didn't say anything, but turned his head and picked up the dead baby's skeleton and handed it over.

If it were normal, I wouldn't pick it up even if I beat it to death. But now, in this atmosphere, I actually reached out to pick it up with both hands.

The body was already dry and very light. The dry human skin tentacles were a little hard and greasy, and it felt quite disgusting.

I held the body at a loss and stared at Xu Yuanzhi, not knowing what he meant to hand it to me.

He picked his chin at the corpse and said, "Look at its head!"

What's wrong with the head?

I lowered my head and looked at the head of the baby corpse very quickly, and I discovered something abnormal.

At the same time, with a "boom" in my mind, I felt like I was hit by a stick, dizzy, and sat in the grave.

The top of the head of this baby corpse! The position of the fontanelle! There was a silver needle as thick as a toothpick!

My mind was blank, my heart was beating fast, so I couldn't catch up with my breath, and I was suffocating.

After the blank space, overwhelming questions swept over.

Who is buried in this grave? Who is this bone? Who am I?

The Cow Madman once told me that when someone was cut out of my mother's belly, a silver needle was inserted into the fontanelle, and the silver needle almost killed me.

Even if the words of the crazy man are not trustworthy, my grandmother said the same thing to me before she died.

But why did I hear a lot of villagers when I came back this time that my mother left a dead baby after she died, and many people also saw the dead baby.

There was a silver needle inserted into the fontanel of this baby corpse, and it was buried with a woman...

Could the person in this grave be my mother and the dead baby back then?

If that's the case, who am I?

I can accept that I am a freak who was inexplicably pregnant and stayed in my mother's belly for more than a year, but I can't accept that my mother is not my mother, I am not me. If this is the case, wouldn't I become an orphan of unknown origin?

“Look at this…”

As he said that, Xu Yuanzhi took out something from the side of the corpse.

This is a jade token with yellow light, but what really attracted my attention was the word "Ru" engraved on it.

It seems that the one buried in this grave is really my mother!

But why did my mother's grave have an extra child for no reason? I looked at the small mummy again and said quietly: "Who is it?"

"It should be your brother." Xu Yuanzhi said.

"My brother? Was there more than me in my mother's belly back then?" I said in surprise.

Xu Yuanzhi nodded: "No one has ever said that you are the only one in your mother's belly. It should be that both of you were plotted against, but you survived, but he died."

Xu Yuanzhi looked at me and kept watching it for a long time, and it seemed as if he didn't know me.

"Is the silver needle that pierced your fontanelle still there?"

When I heard this, my heart was mixed, and Xu Yuanzhi's inference was probably correct.

I trembled and took out a silver needle from my pocket, pulled out the one on the head of the baby corpse, and put it together - the same complicated patterns, like talismans and spells, making people feel that they are both vulgar and evil!

"The one on your head was pulled out, and the one on the head of the baby corpse was probably ignored because he was already dead at that time and was buried here with your mother."

I suddenly felt a pain in my heart, which made me squat down and tears fell like rain.

I have fantasized about my mother countless times, but I didn't expect that this would be the case when we first met...

At this moment, I finally understood the purpose of the ghost baby leading me here. It must be to tell me that I must find the murderer who killed my mother and plotted against our brothers.

Xu Yuanzhi looked at me crying and said with a slight voice: "This is God's will. These two silver needles are magic weapons. Since they are magic weapons, they must not be masterless things. When I go back, I will ask people from my fellow Taoists to see if anyone knows this thing."

After Xu Yuanzhi finished speaking, he searched in the grave again, but could not find anything else.

"Changsheng, have you visited your mother's grave?"

"No, when my grandmother was young, she didn't let her do it, and when her grandmother died, she didn't let her do it..."

In fact, I didn’t know where my mother was buried at that time... As a son of man, isn’t this a bit too incredible?

I put the baby corpse back on my mother's abdomen. I think the person who buried my mother put it in this position, probably because he wanted it and my mother's spirit in heaven to comfort each other.

"Master, you have expected this a long time ago?" I asked Xu Yuanzhi.

He nodded and said, "This morning, when you said that you could feel the fluctuations in the ghost baby's heart, as if it was connected to its bloodline, I had more thoughts. In addition, the black horn stone is useless to the ghost baby, and it can always feel your existence. I boldly guessed that there might be some magical connection between you."

Xu Yuanzhi is knowledgeable, and I really admire this.

I nodded and said, "Why don't this baby corpse rot? And my mother's corpse turned into bones?"

Xu Yuanzhi's eyes rolled and he spoke, "It should be the relationship between that needle. Apart from that, nothing else can be explained."

"Have you ever heard of any evil magic or magic that requires the silver needle to be stabbed into the baby's fontanelle?"

I and Guiying both had silver needles on my head, so the murderer must have made some sense in doing so.

Xu Yuanzhi shook his head this time: "Many years ago, the Cow Madman discussed this matter with my master, but they did not find out any name. In this world, there are so many other ways of being like a cow, and there are countless strange magics. Because they are not recognized by people in the righteous way, they are naturally hidden, and many things are unheard of."

I was a little depressed: "In this way, if you want to find the murderer to avenge my mother, you can only rely on these two silver needles."

"Don't worry, it's God's will to have so many discoveries today, it's a good start. You have to believe that one day, everything will come to light."

I nodded and solemnly put away the two silver needles.

"Go back and prepare some things and save the baby corpse. It has not entered the cycle of reincarnation for so many years and has long missed the opportunity to be reincarnated. If we don't help it to be liberated, it will only wander around as a lonely ghost. This is probably the purpose of it leading you here."
