Chapter 398: Exorcism in the Womb
"Gudong! Gudong! Shushu..."

Xin Zhen was awakened by a sound that sounded like thunder and heartbeat. He opened his eyes in a daze, but saw nothing. He was startled and wanted to get up, but found that he was tightly restrained and felt like he was in a muddy place.

As he moved, he heard a woman groaning. Then the woman said, "Baby, don't move around. Are you in a hurry to get out? Even if you are in a hurry to get out, don't be like this. You're hurting your mother. Be good."

Xin Zhen's heart beat faster suddenly. What was there for him to not understand at this moment? It was obvious that she was still in the womb.

Xin Zhen smiled helplessly. It was indeed another life. But where was he in this life?

This is not known for the time being, but Xin Zhen did not neglect it. While he was still in the womb, he quickly used the innate energy in the womb to practice, so as to avoid wasting it.

Since he was already in the womb, he had solved the mystery of the womb. With the help of innate energy, it would naturally be best to practice the Pure Yang Wuji Gong. Xin Zhen didn't need to choose much and just started practicing.

After practicing for a few days, Xin Zhen felt that he was becoming more and more energetic and he didn't need to sleep for too long.

That night, when Xin Zhen was practicing diligently, he suddenly felt cold all over. He was startled. When he opened his eyes, he saw a ghost with a green face and fangs standing not far away, staring at him and laughing.

Xin Zhen was shocked. He had lived for several lifetimes and had never seen a ghost. But in this lifetime, he saw such a horrifying scene while in the womb. He thought that this must not be the world of Jin Yong.

The ghost only laughed and said, "I have searched many pregnant women, but this fetus is the most suitable. Not only are the parents quite wealthy, but the fetus also looks very spiritual. It should be a blessed one. If I take away his fortune, I can live happily in the world for the rest of my life!"

After saying this, the evil ghost reached out to Xin Zhen. Xin Zhen understood very well that the evil ghost wanted to take over his body. If he let him succeed, he would probably really disappear into thin air.

Xin Zhen was horrified. If the baby had already been born, he should have had some means to deal with the evil spirit. But he was in the womb and was just a fetus. How could he deal with an evil spirit?
Suddenly Xin Zhen bit his teeth... Oh, he had no teeth. Xin Zhen made up his mind and pointed the gathered innate energy at the evil ghost with the trajectory of One Yang Finger.

Of course he didn't know if this would work, but he couldn't just sit there and wait to die. He saw a golden light from between his index fingers shooting towards the evil ghost, and then he heard the evil ghost scream, and then he fled in embarrassment.

As soon as Xin Zhen emitted a bit of his innate energy, he felt extremely weak and fell into a deep sleep.

……

"Jin'er, come here, don't just focus on reading, come and eat this bowl of lotus seed soup. This is the lotus seeds that your sister picked today. Even when they are fresh, they are very sweet. I also added some sugar to it, so it tastes even better."

Li placed a bowl of sugar water in front of a thin young scholar. The young scholar looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with delicate features, but he looked too thin. Even under the dim yellow light, his face looked pale.

The young scholar took the sugar water and drank it while staring at the book.

Li smiled, but she sighed in her heart. Her child was very smart and self-motivated since childhood. The private school teacher was very satisfied with him and often praised him. Last year, he passed the examination for a student. His name has spread all over the country. After all, in this place where the culture and talent of Jiangnan gather, it is not easy to pass the examination for a student, not to mention that he is only ten years old. But the child's body is too weak. She was seriously ill in the womb. The child has been very weak since birth and falls ill every ten days or half a month. She and her husband thought the child would die, but fortunately, he has grown up to this age.

But the child still looked very weak, and some people in the tribe were very vicious and thought that their child might not have the appearance of a long-lived child.

Naturally, Li refused to agree and had a big quarrel with the person who said this. But when she returned home, she looked at the child herself and felt that he did not seem to have a long life. After all, his body was too thin and he was often sick even now.

The young scholar was named Xin Zhen. Seeing that Li was still in front of him, he said impatiently, "Mom, please get out quickly. I still need to read."

Li was not angry. She smiled and said, "Don't look at it for too long. Be careful not to hurt yourself. Last time..."

Xin Zhen said angrily: "Mom, are you going out or not?"

Li said quickly: "Okay, I'll leave right away!"

Li hurriedly left and helped close the door, sighing in her heart. The child was weak, but had a bad temper. She would yell at people for no reason, even her own husband. The doctor said that this was because her body was too weak but her exterior was full of fire, so her temper was too dry.

Xin Zhen watched his mother leave, his anger still lingering in his heart. He felt that his mother was too unsympathetic and was always nagging, which made him feel extremely annoyed.

But then he felt regretful, because he knew that his mother loved him, but he didn't understand why. He always felt that there were many things he had not remembered, and they were extremely important things, so he would be very angry every time, but he didn't know where the anger came from.

Xin Zhen thought about it and shook his head. He decided to study first. He passed the examination for a tongsheng last year and would try harder to pass the exam for a xiucai. It would be difficult to pass the jinshi or something like that, but he had to at least pass the exam for a juren to be able to gain a foothold in the family.

The Xin family is considered a prominent family in Suzhou Prefecture. Xin Zhen's branch is a side branch. Although his father is quite successful in business, he has no honors and his words are not firm in the family. If he could pass the imperial examination and become a juren, the situation would be different.

The status of a Juren is certainly not as good as that of a Jinshi, but the status of a Juren also has some weight in Suzhou, and even officials have to take it seriously when they go out.

Thinking of this, Xin Zhen buried his head in his books again.

I don't know how much time has passed. It was already quiet outside. It must have been late at night. Xin Zhen was still studying hard. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. When Xin Zhen looked up, he was furious and wanted to yell, but a gentle voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Xin, I am a new neighbor who moved in nearby. I want to write a letter to my relatives in my hometown, but I don't have paper and pen. Can I borrow it?"

That voice was like a cool breeze, instantly extinguishing the anger in Xin Zhen's heart. Xin Zhen stood up and opened the door. Under the moonlight, he saw a charming woman in white with gentle eyes. Xin Zhen's cheeks instantly felt hot and his heart was pounding.

The woman chuckled and said, "Mr. Xin, can you let me in and write a letter? I don't know many words, so I may not know how to write some words. I need your help."
