In the quiet ward, sunlight streams through the window onto the clean white floor.
Everyone's expressions were exceptionally clear.
"spider!!"
Taoist Master Daoming was close by, and after hearing it clearly, he frowned and repeated it.
"spider??!"
Xu Hong and his wife, who were farther away, looked at their son on the bed and repeated his words. They looked at each other with confusion on their faces. They didn't expect that this would be what the child said in his sleep.
"Master, maybe I heard it wrong? Zhuangzhuang has been very brave since he was young. He likes to catch frogs, not to mention spiders." Xu Hong said hesitantly.
"Yes, Taoist priest." Li Yu, the child's mother, recalled something and frowned as she explained, "Old Xu is right. This child has been very brave since he was young. He and a few other children used to catch spiders in the village every day. It's unlikely that he was scared by a spider."
Taoist Master Daoming did not rush to speak, but waited for the child to speak next time so that the couple could listen.
The ruddy-faced boy on the bed slept peacefully. The others kept silent while paying attention to his movements. But after a moment, the child on the bed murmured again, "Run... Spider... Run..."
The sound was very faint and the movement was small. If I hadn't listened and looked so carefully, I wouldn't have noticed it.
But the four people standing by the bedside, concentrating intently, could hear it clearly. Xu Hong and his wife looked puzzled even though they had heard it themselves. After a long moment, they muttered to themselves, "Is this child really scared by a spider? Or...is he having a nightmare?"
"Is it possible that the spider this child is talking about is different from the spider we have seen?"
After entering the ward, Ji Miaomiao, who had been silent all the time, spoke up at this moment, suggesting another possibility.
As a tasker who holds the plot in hand, she knows more about the situation in this world. Not long after the protagonist Lu Xiaobai obtained the golden finger, the world officially began to revive its spiritual energy.
People who practiced various kinds of Taoism and sorcery made great progress in their cultivation, and rare treasures and spiritual objects appeared in large numbers, leading to frequent strange things happening everywhere. It can be said that the whole world became abnormal.
It was not until the later part of the plot that the official stepped in to integrate Taoism and set up an institution, uniting all Taoist practitioners to launch a vigorous cleanup operation, and the situation was gradually brought under control.
After seeing the whole incident today, she had some guesses in her mind that this matter might be related to the revival of spiritual energy.
At this time, Xu Hong and his wife in the ward were stuck on the only clue, and she couldn't help but remind them.
"That's right, maybe the child bumped into something that looked like a spider on the mountain and got scared." The couple obviously didn't understand what she said at the same time.
After figuring things out, Xu Hong stopped dwelling on the spider and said to Taoist Master Daoming, "Master, you said this child was frightened. Is there any way to wake him up?"
Taoist Master Daoming glanced at his disciple, stroked his long beard and said, "What a coincidence! There is actually a way to try this."
The couple's faces lit up with joy.
When Ji Miaomiao heard this, she also looked towards Master Ming, but saw that her master was looking at her and gave her a smiling look.
She thought for a moment and remembered that she had told Taoist Master Daoming when she was setting up the stall before that she had successfully drawn six talismans to dispel evil spirits and carried them with her.
Is that what you're talking about?!
Ji Miaomiao took out a folded talisman from her sleeve and handed it to her master.
Taoist Master Daoming didn't answer. He looked at the couple next to him and said, "Let's step aside and let my disciple try."
The three of them walked a few steps away from the bed, made room for Ji Miaomiao, and treated the unconscious little boy on the bed alone.
Ji Miaomiao lowered her eyes and looked at the talisman in her hand, and after thinking about it, she understood what her master meant.
She raised her hand, pinched the talisman between her fingers, waved it against the forehead of the boy on the hospital bed, and tried to activate the talisman.
Ji Miaomiao's cultivation has now broken through the initial feeling stage. Although there is no pure energy in her body, she can still condense the pure energy at her fingertips. In a moment, the condensed pure energy activated the talisman in her hand.
In the eyes of the three people nearby, they saw the talisman turn into a stream of clear air and merge directly into the child's eyebrows. Then, a black air suddenly appeared on the face of the sleeping child.
The black energy surged back and forth. Xu Hong and his wife took a step back and couldn't help but exclaimed, "What...what is this?!"
Ji Miaomiao didn't care to pay attention to anything else. At this moment, she found that the emerging black energy was particularly ferocious. After the clear energy transformed by the Quhui Talisman just now merged into the boy's body, it did not force the black energy out of his body. Instead, it seemed that the boy was about to be swallowed by the black energy.
Her eyes fixed, and without hesitation she took out another talisman to dispel evil spirits. She gathered pure energy at her fingertips and activated the talisman. Then she waved her hand and it turned into a stream of pure energy that merged into the boy's body.
The black energy's swallowing movement paused, as if it was struggling with the clear energy. The boy, who had been motionless, also showed a struggling look on his face.
"No~" the little boy yelled, with a painful expression on his face.
Li Yu, the mother standing nearby, became anxious when she saw the situation. She came to the bedside to check on her child and said anxiously, "Zhuangzhuang... Zhuangzhuang, it's okay. Mom is here with you!"
Xu Hong and Taoist Master Daoming were a little slow to react as they noticed the child's condition. They only realized what was happening after Li Yu walked a few steps to the bedside and quickly went to pull him away.
They all realized that this was an urgent situation and they obviously couldn't be disturbed!!
“Don’t go over there!”
"Don't move!"
"stop."
The first two voices came from Xu Hong and Taoist Master Daoming, and the last voice came from Ji Miaomiao.
She was the closest, and while speaking, she raised her hand and pulled Li Yu, who was worried, aside, stopping him from going over.
"Don't go over there."
