Chapter 214: Evil Infant
Under Zhang Yuan's gaze, the strange and rough man's body shrank rapidly.
Eventually it turned into a baby-like object.
Its skin showed a jet black color, and its head and body could barely be distinguished. Its arms tightly hugged its legs, curled up tightly into a ball.
This is the evil body, also known as the evil infant.
After the weirdness takes over the body of a living being, it will disappear into ashes in a short time once it dies.
No remains left.
According to Taoism, this is the result of the strange original evil spirit dissipating after death.
The talisman that Zhang Yuan just photographed on the corpse of the strange rough man is called the Ningsha Talisman.
The function of this Taoist talisman is to prevent the loss of strange evil energy.
And let it condense and solidify!
Therefore, any creature that is possessed by a strange spirit will be immediately affixed with the Ningsha Talisman as soon as it dies.
Evil babies will be condensed.
The Evil Infant is of no use to warriors, but it is an important material used by Taoists to refine magical weapons!
It is said that there is no upper limit to the Taoist demand for evil bodies.
Therefore, when Zhang Yuan received the equipment in the outer hall earlier, he also received two free Ningsha Talismans.
I didn't expect it to actually come in handy.
And his mission today was originally to come to Qiujiazhuang to investigate the strange happenings.
As a result, Zhang Yuan not only killed Weiyi, but also obtained the evil infant, which was equivalent to overfulfilling the task.
Get a Taoist power safely!
He turned back to the courtyard gate, took off the bag hanging on the saddle, and called the thin dog beside him.
Entering Qiu Laowu's home again.
The thin dog sniffed around the yard vigilantly, purring in its throat and wagging its tail at Zhang Yuan.
It obviously reveals nothing new.
Zhang Yuan patted Xi Quan's head and picked up the Evil Infant on the ground.
This Evil Infant is about a foot long, heavy and heavy in hand, and exudes an indescribable evil aura.
Zhang Yuan stuffed it into his pocket and hung it on his waist.
Then walked into the main room.
The thin dog followed closely behind.
The room was in chaos, with a large amount of dark red blood splattered on the floor, walls and tables.
There was a strong smell of blood in the air.
Zhang Yuan entered the back room again and saw three corpses lying on the ground.
Three mangled corpses!
Although Zhang Yuan had seen similar scenes, such a tragic scene still made him feel heavy.
Weird and harmful things are the most terrifying. The victims are often miserable, being tortured, trampled, killed, and devoured...
There is no humanity at all!
And the most miserable thing is the people who are possessed by strange things.
For example, the rough guy who was killed by Zhang Yuan just now was most likely Qiu Laowu himself.
And the limbs it swallowed might belong to Qiu Laowu's wife and children, or maybe from his parents!
It is said that some people still retain some consciousness after being possessed by weirdness.
Then he watched "himself" kill his relatives and loved ones.
This pain cannot be described in words.
But some weird ones are my favorite!
Woof woof!
Suddenly, the thin dog following Zhang Yuan barked loudly at the wooden bed in the room.
But there was no intention to attack.
Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he immediately leaned over and looked under the bed.
Then a cradle was caught!
Inside this bamboo cradle, there was a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.
This baby is white and tender, only three or four months old, with two big, innocent eyes.
What makes people feel heart palpitated is that he actually has a severed finger in his mouth!
The baby sucked hard, and blood-streaked saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart.
He reached up and removed the severed finger from the baby's mouth.
"Wow~"
The baby suddenly burst into tears.
Zhang Yuan shook his head and picked up the cradle.
He came outside the house again and shouted in a deep voice: "Village Chief Qiu!"
Qiu Sande rushed over quickly with several villagers.
The village chief of Qiujiazhuang asked tremblingly: "Sir, sir, where is Qiu Laowu's house?"
"Weird has been killed by me."
Zhang Yuan replied: "But Qiu Laowu's family is the only one left alive!"
With that said, he handed the cradle in his arms to the other party.
A villager next to him quickly took it and said in a low voice: "This is Lao Wu's son!"
Qiu Sande couldn't help but burst into tears: "What a sin~"
Everyone in Qiu's village basically has the same surname, and they are all related. Qiu Laowu usually calls him uncle.
I didn't expect to suffer such a disaster!
"I'll leave this child to you."
Zhang Yuan said: "Raise him well and don't treat him badly."
Qiu Sande quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and promised: "If I have a bite to eat, he won't be hungry!"
"Um."
Zhang Yuan nodded, took out a banknote from his arms and stuffed it into the baby's swaddling clothes: "It's a little bit of my gratitude."
This kid has a bit of a fate with him.
Qiu Sande waved his hands in panic: "It can't be done, it can't be done!"
Common people like him can only try their best to fawn over the protector who comes from the Heavenly King's Palace to slay demons.
How could Zhang Yuan dig into his pocket?
Zhang Yuan was too lazy to talk nonsense to the other party, so he got on his horse and walked away.
Qiu Sande and the other villagers were left looking at each other.
Zhang Yuan flew all the way back to Xucheng, and then went to the Heavenly King's Palace to hand in the mission.
When he arrived at the outer hall, he first returned the green horse, fine dog, and falcon, as well as an unused Ningsha Talisman.
The Ningsha Talisman is not a cheap talisman, and the Heavenly King Palace is not generous enough to give it away for free.
However, Zhang Yuan only received two rations for his first external guardian mission.
But like eagles, dogs and horses, they are only temporarily loaned and need to be returned!
If Zhang Yuan doesn't come out yet.
There must be an explanation.
Zhang Yuan's statement is naturally the evil baby on the table!
When he saw the trophies brought by Zhang Yuan, Chen Daoren, who was responsible for recording the merits, was shocked.
He looked at Zhang Yuan in disbelief and asked, "Is this something strange that is causing trouble in Qiujiazhuang?"
The level of strange incidents in Qiujiazhuang was quite low, so it was assigned to Zhang Yuan, the new guardian of the outer palace.
As the latter's first training mission.
This task was exactly what Daoren Chen had previously assigned to Zhang Yuan.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan not only completed the task quickly, but also brought back such a big evil baby!
Daoren Chen realized immediately.
The outer palace seriously underestimated the strangeness that appeared in Qiujiazhuang.
Because the higher the weird rank, the larger the size and weight of the evil baby condensed!
The Evil Infant brought back by Zhang Yuan could never come from ordinary weirdness.
"Yes."
Zhang Yuan replied: "Any questions?"
"This is a big problem!"
Daoren Chen gave a wry smile.
He called the Taoist boy to get a steelyard and weighed the evil baby himself.
"Eleven pounds, seven taels and three cents."
Chen Daoren's eyes moved from Scale Star to Zhang Yuan's face, his eyes were quite complicated.
"Sixth Grade Evil Infant!"
