As a father, I just want to watch you live forever.

Chapter 5 Lingying Fazhu, Yidao Master



Grandma Lei...killed the baby?

The baby she delivered was specifically chosen to be killed? !

When Li Che heard his uncle's words, his hair stood on end and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Uncle, where did you hear this?" Li Che took a deep breath, his heart sank, and he asked quickly.

The old scholar was holding a cigarette rod in his mouth, exhaling smoke, and frowning in the Chinese character "Chuan": "I didn't believe it at first, but I saw that Xixi was not delivered by Grandma Lei? So I went to find out..."

"It's true. The families whose children died... all went to the outer city government office. The government also issued a wanted order, and they are looking for Grandma Lei!"

"If you don't believe it, you can go to the government notice board and look at it. There is a wanted notice hanging there."

The old scholar's voice was also much more solemn.

Although he regretted that Xixi didn't take care of her, he was a descendant of the old Li family after all. When he heard the news, he was immediately worried about Xixi's safety.

"I heard that Grandma Lei... worshiped the 'Lingying Dharma Master' and believed in the teachings of the Spiritual Infant, but she killed her all at once... Oh, what a crime. They are just children."

The old scholar's voice was trembling, he sighed longly, and kept smoking with his cigarette in his mouth.

Li Che's expression was extremely solemn, and his heart was in doubt.

For Li Che now, Xixi is his heart and soul, his most precious daughter. If anything happens to him, Li Che will feel heartbroken and blame himself.

Protecting your daughter is what a father should do and bear!

"Thank you, uncle. I'll go find out more about it so that I can make preparations in advance."

Li Che said seriously, and the old scholar nodded quickly, and then rubbed his hands: "I'm already here, so I stopped by to see Xixi..."

Li Che was dumbfounded, looking at the shy old scholar, without saying anything, and took him into the house.

When the old scholar saw Xixi, his old face almost burst into laughter.

He says he dislikes Xixi for not being a boy, but his love for Xixi is also sincere.

"Your sister-in-law is about to give birth. Aunt Qin said that her belly is pointed and she should be born with a handle... Hey, I hope the baby will be as cute as Xixi." The uncle smiled brightly.

After his eldest son marries a wife, a child will be born this year.

"Daughter-in-law, if I am not at home during the next period of time, you must close the doors and windows, and do not open the door no matter who calls..."

After seeing off the old scholar, Li Che gave Zhang Ya a special warning before going out to work.

Zhang Ya was stunned, but she didn't ask anything, she just said obediently that she would do as she was told.

Worrying all the way, Li Che came to the government notice board, and sure enough he saw the wanted notice offering a reward for Grandma Lei.

"Lei Chunlan killed seven children, all of whom she had delivered a year ago..."

"Huh? I delivered the baby a year ago... So, do all the children who were killed need to meet the requirement of being one year old?"

Li Che wore a bamboo hat, looked at the notice, and fell into deep thought.

But he didn't dare to put trust in his own reasoning.

What if this Lei Chunlan also chooses to attack a child who is just one month old?

Li Che didn't dare to gamble...

I can’t afford to gamble either.

"It seems that you have to become a wood carving master at a wood carving shop... If you are protected by Xu Ji Wood Carving Shop, at least you will be safe."

Li Che took a deep breath, put down his hat, and headed to Xu Ji Wood Carving Shop.

As soon as I arrived at the wood carving shop, I saw Master Chen, who had white hair and beard but a red face, sitting on a chair, humming a tune and drinking gourd wine.

"Xiao Li, are you here? I heard that you are going to take the wood carving assessment. Haha, you are brave. You dare to pass the assessment after only one month of self-study." Master Chen saw Li Che and joked with a smile.

Master Chen's full name is Chen Dabao. He is now sixty-eight years old and is a senior master of Xu Ji Wood Carving Shop.

I heard that Chen Dabao had long been qualified to enter Xu Ji in the inner city, but he had never been willing to go, preferring to stay at the wood carving shop in the outer city.

Not only Chen Dabao, but also several other woodcarving masters in the shop.

This puzzled Li Che, why not go to the inner city?

I heard that the living environment and conditions in the inner city are far better than those in the outer city.

"You boy... although the inner city is good, it is also dangerous. Today, the world is in chaos, evil spirits are everywhere, strange temples are standing everywhere, various religions are stacked up, the imperial court is in turmoil, and the imperial court's control over many cities has long declined, so the cities They all fell under the control of the wealthy nobles in the city..."

"There are constant disputes and frictions between wealthy families in order to control the city and control a large number of interests. We are old bones. Entering the inner city is like entering a whirlpool. We cannot withstand the torment."

"In this outer city... the conditions are a bit worse, but with my inner strength, I can still survive."

Master Chen happily took a sip of the old rice wine in the gourd, smacked it and said.

Li Che nodded, understanding Master Chen's thoughts.

There are no tigers in the mountains and the monkeys are kings... The main theme is simplicity.

Suddenly, Li Che thought of something and asked softly: "Master Chen, have you ever heard of the 'Lingying Dharma Master'?"

Master Chen paused while drinking, frowned, and glanced at Li Che: "Do you want this thing?"

Li Che quickly shook his head and recounted the news that his uncle had told him this morning.

"My daughter was delivered by Lei Chunlan... I'm afraid." Li Che said worriedly.

When Master Chen heard this, his face became serious: "It seems... he is another guy who has become an evil cultist. Ever since the Lingying Cult born in this weird temple was introduced to Feilei City, the number of children dying in infancy has increased greatly... "

"The midwife is afraid that she worshiped the spiritual infant master and was deceived, so she used these children she had delivered by her own hands to worship the spiritual infant."

"Delivery is like a ritual... Once you are targeted, it is difficult to get rid of it."

"That midwife... will not let your baby go easily."

After receiving Master Chen's affirmation, Li Che's face suddenly became serious and ugly, his five fingers clenched into fists, and his breathing became heavier.

"However, you described that the dead children were all delivered a year ago, and they are probably eligible for sacrifice only when they are one year old. Therefore, your baby should be safe within this year, but you have to keep an eye on it to prevent the midwife from secretly taking your baby away and then performing an evil sacrifice when the time comes!"

Master Chen has seen this kind of thing too many times, but his tone is a bit flat.

All he can do is remind him.

As for him to help Li Che, let alone whether he can help, the relationship between him and Li Che alone is not that serious.

To put it bluntly, Li Che is just a helper who carries wood in the wood carving shop, that's all.

Li Che also knows this, and he didn't ask for help.

If he really asked for help, once Master Chen refused, the thin relationship between the two would be completely severed.

"Master Chen...if I become a woodcarver in a woodcarving shop, will the shop care?"

Li Che took a deep breath and asked.

Master Chen took a sip of wine and glanced at Li Che.

"If you can become a woodcarver, all problems will be solved."

"The shop will provide accommodation for woodcarvers. You move your wife and children here and be protected by the shop. In the shop's courtyard... if the midwife dares to show up, she will definitely be beaten to death."

"We woodcarvers have cultivated internal strength. Even if the midwife is assisted by the evil magic of the Spirit Infant Master... we are not afraid."

"If you really become a woodcarver, even if you are the lowest-level one-knife master, I will be your neighbor. If the midwife dares to show up... I will slap her to death for you!"

Master Chen wiped the wine stains on his beard, grinned and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, showing a bit of hostility.

However, the hostility soon subsided, and his fingers gently tapped the wine gourd with pulp on the plate, looking at Li Che with interest.

"The premise is... you can become a woodcarving master."

"That's hard..."

"Why do you think you can surpass those apprentices in the shop who have spent a lot of money and have been learning woodcarving since childhood by self-studying for ten days or a month on a whim?"
