Chapter 231 Xiaobao

Yun Qingqing's eyes moved, and the clear light in her dark pupils became more and more concentrated.

This little boy is indeed weird.

She walked up to the little boy and looked at him with a smile:

"You found the gate to Tianming Pavilion?"

The little boy avoided her gaze and said nothing.

Yun Qingqing took out a candy from the space and placed it in her palm, showing it to him:

"Tell me the truth and I'll give you this candy, okay?"

The little boy took a quick glance at the candy and his eyes lit up immediately.

He glanced at the woman next to him, and after getting her approval, he carefully picked up the candy and nodded shyly to Yun Qingqing.

Yun Qingqing understood what he meant. It was indeed him who found the closed Tianming Pavilion.

The rest of the boy's appearance was the same as that of a normal person, except for his eyes, which were filled with spiritual energy, comparable to a treasure from heaven and earth.

No wonder he could see through the deception here.

But this also served as a reminder to her.

At first, she thought that the spiritual energy in this world was exhausted and there could not be any powerful practitioners, so the deception of Tianming Pavilion only protected ordinary people.

But the last time she fought with the man in black robe, she realized that there were cultivators in this world who had cultivated Yang Shen like her.

There are also people like her little disciple Su Tongyun who can easily break into Tianming Pavilion.

Plus today's...

The world is not as simple as she thought. If she doesn't want others to discover the secrets of Tianming Pavilion again, she should be fully prepared.

"Master Pavilion Master, this child..." The woman's timid voice brought Yun Qingqing back to her senses.

She nodded, encouraging the woman to continue:

"Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

The woman glanced at the little boy and sighed:

"My little treasure might be possessed by an evil spirit. Master, please help me see how to exorcise the evil spirit from him."

"Possessed?" Yun Qingqing raised an eyebrow. "Why do you think he's possessed?"

Are you kidding? Her spiritual eyes didn't see a trace of evil in this child. As a parent, can you judge evil with just your mouth?

The woman sighed deeply again and told the whole story.

The woman said her name was Wei Cuilan and the boy's name was Xiaobao, her son.

She said that she brought Xiaobao here secretly today because her husband thought that their son's previous strange behavior was just the result of a naughty child, or that his imagination was too rich, which led to those silly ideas.

My husband said that after a while, when he had had enough of the trouble and lost interest, he would naturally stop saying those nonsense.

Yun Qingqing interrupted her and asked:

"You said Xiaobao's so-called disturbance was just nonsense?"

Wei Cuilan nodded.

"Then what did he say? Tell me how much you can remember." Yun Qingqing said again.

Wei Cuilan sighed and said:

"It all started one day when the child's father and I went back to our hometown to visit relatives and left Xiaobao at the home of his neighbor's second aunt. As a result, Xiaobao disappeared at night. His second aunt and her family were very worried. They looked everywhere for him but couldn't find him. When we returned at dawn, we found that Xiaobao had gone home on his own and was sleeping soundly."

"Second Aunt was naturally very angry. She woke him up on the spot and asked him where he had been playing last night and why he hadn't told her."

"The child insisted that he had returned home, saying that his grandparents had called him home to play, and that he had gone there. He also said that he had played until midnight and had been sleeping in the house the whole time, and he knew nothing else."

"The problem is that this kid swore everything he said, but his second aunt and her family went to our house first and used the key we left outside the door when we left to get in."

"When they went there, all the houses were pitch black. There was no one inside. This little bastard must be lying!"

"But this kid just refused to admit his mistake. No matter how much we pressed him, he insisted that his grandparents had called him back to their house to play."

"After that incident, Second Aunt went to check the house again, but there was no sign that anyone had been there. Even if she wanted to believe it, she couldn't. When we came back, she told us the truth. The child's father was furious and beat him up severely."

"We didn't think too much about it at the time and thought it was over."

"But a few days later, Xiaobao was playing outside our house in the evening. When I called him to eat, it was almost dark. I didn't see Xiaobao at the door, and I looked around but couldn't find any trace of him."

"I was really scared at the time. I thought the child was too young and had been kidnapped. I mobilized the villagers from all over the country to look for him, but the result was..."

Wei Cuilan sighed:

"In the end, we found him at a grave. He said his grandparents came to play with him again, but this time they thought there were too many people in the house, so they went back. Xiaobao said playing was boring and he wanted to go to his grandparents' house, so he followed them."

"But when we found Xiaobao, he couldn't remember anything after he left with 'grandparents'."

"It's just that Xiaobao's grandparents died before she was born, and the grave he went to was an isolated one, unrelated to his grandparents. So the child's father thought Xiaobao was lying again and beat him up."

"This time, because I found Xiaobao at a grave, I was a little scared and thought about asking someone to come and help. But his father strongly opposed it, so I had to give up."

"Later, I quietly asked around for a while and found out that no one in the area saw Xiaobao leave that day. No one saw him on the way to the grave, let alone the two grandparents who never showed up."

Yun Qingqing frowned slightly:

"Even so, you still didn't ask someone to help, but instead believed your husband's words and thought the child was lying?"

Wei Cuilan twisted her clothes and lowered her head:

"I want to, but the child's father hits people... I'm afraid of him."

Yun Qingqing frowned even tighter, paused for a moment, and said:

"Go on, what brought you here?"

"Because not long after that, another incident happened..." Wei Cuilan said.

In fact, after the second incident happened, she tried every possible means to get a peace amulet for Xiaobao and asked him to wear it for peace of mind.

Then one day, the couple was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night by a series of loud clanging and banging noises.

The two men discovered that the sound came from the front hall and thought that someone had attacked their house.

At that time, Wei Cuilan was extremely scared and just held on to her husband's hair tightly. The man went to the back kitchen, picked up a fire stick from the corner, and the two of them carefully came to the front hall.

As a result, I saw that the hall was brightly lit, and Xiaobao was alone inside, banging a bunch of pots and pans, while listening to something and laughing from time to time.

The couple was frightened by the strange scene and immediately rushed into the room, asking Xiaobao what he was doing and who he was talking to.

Xiaobao pointed at the air and said with a smile:

"It's Grandpa and Grandma! Can't you see they're right here?"

At that time, Wei Cuilan's heart skipped a beat and the hairs on her back stood up.

Her husband didn't believe it, saying that he didn't know who he learned this lying habit from, and that it had even gotten worse recently.

Xiaobao felt aggrieved and retorted a few words. He then pointed to a deserted place and said that he did not lie, and his grandparents were clearly there. He also said that his grandfather had said that if his father bullied him, his grandparents would give him a good beating to vent his anger.

Wei Cuilan's husband was so angry that he beat Xiaobao severely with a wooden stick. The father and son seemed to be at odds with each other. Xiaobao would rather be beaten and cry than admit his mistake. He cried and said to Grandpa, "Grandpa, please teach him a lesson."

In fact, Wei Cuilan has felt that something evil has happened recently, but every time she mentions this, her husband would look impatient or even tell her to shut up fiercely.

After being beaten several times for this, she never dared to mention these things to her parents' faces again.

But just after her husband beat Xiaobao severely, he started to have a fever the next day and talked nonsense from time to time.

From that day on, Xiaobao hardly spoke a word. She always squatted in the corner of the room where her husband was recuperating, staring at him quietly, not knowing what she was looking at.
