Chapter 5 Master Lingying, Yidao Master


Chapter 5 Ling Ying Dharma Master, Yi Dao Master
Grandma Lei... Kill the baby?
Select the baby she delivered 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 Qi said her belly is pointed, so she should have a baby... 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 Granny 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 bet...

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 eligible 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 everywhere, various religions are rising one after another, the imperial court is in turmoil, and the imperial court's control over many cities has long declined, so every city is in danger. It fell into 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 believer. Ever since the Lingying Sect born in this weird temple was introduced to Feilei City, the number of children dying in infancy has greatly increased... "

"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."

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

"The midwife... won't let your baby go easily."

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

"However, you described that the children who died were all delivered a year ago. They must be one year old before they are eligible for sacrifice. Therefore, within this year, there should be no worries about the safety of your baby, but you still have to keep an eye on it. Be careful to prevent this midwife from secretly taking away your baby and then performing evil sacrifices when the time comes!"

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

All he can do is remind.

If he was asked to help Li Che, let alone whether he could help him or not, the relationship between him and Li Che alone was not that important.

Li Che put it bluntly, he was just a helper carrying wood in the wood carving shop, nothing more.

Li Che also knew this and did not ask for help.

If Master Chen really asks for help and refuses, the thin relationship between the two will be completely severed.

"Master Chen...if I become the master wood carver of a wood carving shop, will the shop take care of it?"

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 woodcarving master, all problems will be solved."

"The shop will provide accommodation for the woodcarving master. You can move your wife and children here and be protected by the woodcarving shop. In the courtyard of the shop... the midwife will definitely be beaten to death if she dares to show up."

"We, the woodcarving masters, have cultivated our inner strength. Even if the midwife is helped by the evil magic of Master Lingying... we will not be afraid."

"If you really become a master wood carver, even if you are the lowest master of a sword, I will be considered your neighbor. If that evil midwife really dares to show up... I will slap her to death for you!"

Master Chen wiped off the wine stains on his beard and grinned, revealing a mouth full of sinister yellow teeth, showing a bit of violence.

However, his anger quickly subsided, and he tapped the wine gourd with pulp on the plate with his fingers, looking at Li Che playfully.

"The premise is that... your boy can become a wood carving master."

"It's hard..."

"Why do you think you can study on your own for ten days or months on a whim, and surpass those apprentices in the shop who have spent a lot of money on learning wood carving since they were young?"
