Chapter 130 Jinjiang Debut

Bai Mian was slightly shocked. It seemed that this Master Taixuan had done more than one evil thing in the world.

Old Lady Yang looked at Bai Mian nervously, expecting him to give her the Water of Longevity. Bai Mian had a blank expression on his face and urged her, "Keep talking. Tell me everything you know."

Old Lady Yang curled her lips and told the story in detail: "When I was young, I was very beautiful, and there were countless men chasing me. I chose the richest one among all the suitors. He was a 70-year-old man. At that time, my acquaintances laughed at me. A 20-year-old girl married a 70-year-old man. How shameless."

"I never cared about such voices. After all, I was the only one who knew how well I was living. After marrying him, I lived the life of a rich wife. He was from Beijing, so I became a Beijinger too. I could never spend all his money in my lifetime."

"He passed away two years later, and I naturally inherited his estate and became a wealthy widow. Then my happy life began. I didn't have to work, I traveled everywhere, I changed boyfriends one after another, and I had sex with all kinds of men. An ordinary person's entire life is not as exciting as mine in one month."

"I lived like this until I was 40. After that, I started to look old. Wrinkles appeared around my eyes and I was not as energetic as before. So I started to do cosmetic surgery and took medicine to maintain my youthfulness. I spend millions of dollars on this face every year."

At this point, Mrs. Yang's eyes began to become confused: "But, after I am over 60, no amount of medical beauty can save me. No matter how much money I spend on my face, people can see that I am an old person, and those men will gradually leave me. How can I accept it? I was so beautiful when I was young, I can't accept myself becoming ugly!"

"At that time, I thought, it would be great if I could stay young forever. At this time, someone introduced Taixuan Zhenren to me. There are only a few rich people in the capital, and everyone knows each other. Taixuan Zhenren was introduced by an acquaintance, and many of the rich people are his disciples, so I feel very confident in him."

"When I was sixty years old, I officially became Taixuan Zhenren's disciple. I paid him a huge sum of money for tuition, and he taught me this birthday worship formation. As long as I have this formation, I can stay young forever and live forever."

"For the next sixty years, I have been using this formation. I attracted those young people to live here, then sucked away their lifespans and let them die here. However, due to the lack of evidence, no one could convict me. I lived a carefree life until I met you."

Old Lady Yang stared at Bai Mian on the other side of the screen angrily: "I'm done, is that ok?"

Bai Mian did not let her go, but asked: "You ran away just now, what did you want to get?"

Old Lady Yang was shocked and her eyes were dodging. The two sides were deadlocked for a long time, and finally Old Lady Yang compromised. She confessed: "Nine Soul Bell."

Bai Mian asked: "What is that?"

Old Lady Yang stammered, "A golden bell, used to... summon Master Taixuan... Actually, he taught me the formation with another condition, which was that I had to share the life span I sucked with him. Every time I sucked someone dry, I would ring the bell to summon him, and he would come to me when he heard the bell."

Old Lady Yang looked flustered. Bai Mian saw that she was still hiding something, so he asked sternly, "Do you still want to live?"

Old Lady Yang said hurriedly, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, the Nine Soul Bell has a special way of using it. You need to pinch it with three fingers at the same time and shake it vigorously nine times in the southwest direction. Only then can Master Taixuan hear it. In addition, Master Taixuan knows the art of illusion and can change his appearance at will. In order to distinguish his true self, every time I shake the Nine Soul Bell, a layer of silver light will appear around him. The one with the silver light is the real him."

Bai Mian shouted at her, "Take out the bell."

Under the supervision of the errand boy, Old Lady Yang walked into her bedroom and took out the golden bell from the drawer. The bell was in the shape of a wolf's tooth and exuded an evil spirit.

Bai Mian asked the errand boy to take the bell and asked Old Lady Yang again, "What else do you know about Master Taixuan?"

Old Lady Yang waved her hands repeatedly: "I really don't know. Although we are master and disciple, he left the capital to travel around the world after teaching me the formation sixty years ago. I don't know where he is or what he is doing in these years. He only meets with me when he comes to take his life, but we don't talk."

Bai Mian said patiently: "Any news is fine, as long as it's about him."

Old Lady Yang thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Oh, yes, there is one thing. About seven or eight years ago, when he came to see me, he asked me if I had any channels to get some children. Of course, I didn't dare to agree, and he didn't say much. He just asked me to help find out. Just two years ago, when he came to my house again, he suddenly told me not to ask, because he had taken care of the children."

"Nothing else?" Bai Mian confirmed with her.

Old Lady Yang nodded desperately: "Really, there is no more. I swear to God, I didn't hide anything from you. Now that I have said everything I should say, you can finally let me go, right?"

Bai Mian smiled coldly, and suddenly his expression changed. He said to the errand boy: "Drag her out of the villa!"

Seeing Bai Mian go back on his word, Old Lady Yang collapsed immediately. She shouted, "I have said everything you asked me to say, why are you still not letting me go? Bitch, you clearly promised, and you went back on your word!"

Bai Mian raised his eyebrows and said, "Why should I talk about trust with an evil cultivator like you? When you killed those young people, did you talk about trust with them?"

Old Lady Yang rushed towards the errand boy and snatched the bottle from his hand, saying, "Why are you helping them? From the way you're dressed, you're just a worker, right? You do all this for money, right? I have money, I can give it to you! If you give me the bottle, I can give you 100,000 yuan!"

The errand boy was stunned and began to hesitate. Seeing that the situation was changing, Bai Mian hurriedly hypnotized the errand boy and controlled him to drag Old Lady Yang out of the villa. Then he closed the door of the villa and left Old Lady Yang screaming and banging on the door outside.

Under Bai Mian's control, the errand boy walked into the master bedroom, took out the pile of dolls, placed them on the bed, and then poured the water of longevity in the bottle on the dolls one by one. The dolls instantly swelled in size and turned back into human form.

A moment later, a group of people lying in the room opened their eyes, looked at each other and started shouting. Under Bai Mian's hypnosis, they forgot what had happened in the past few years and only remembered their original identities.

The group of people didn't know why they were here or what they were doing. They all rushed out the door and returned to their homes.

After doing all this, the water of longevity had been drunk up, leaving only Ye Xian's half bottle. Bai Mian asked the errand boy to hide this half bottle of water of longevity and wait for Ye Xian to return to Beijing to get it himself.

Finally, the errand boy walked out of the villa and saw a skeleton lying outside the door. That was Old Lady Yang. Having lost the nourishment of the water of longevity, she finally ended her sinful life.

Looking at the body of Old Lady Yang, Bai Mian said with disdain: "Your life should have ended long ago."

After walking out of the villa area, Bai Mian lifted the hypnosis on the errand boy and cleared his memory, then hung up the video. The errand boy woke up and looked at his phone in confusion. He didn't understand why this order took so long.

As promised, Ye Xian paid the errand boy ten times the tip as compensation for this order.

When the matter was over, Ye Xian and Bai Mian both looked at each other with gratitude. Ye Xian was saved, and Bai Mian got the information she wanted. This time, she could finally meet the old thief Taixuan Zhenren.

Ye Xian paid for the pulse diagnosis, and Bai Mian instructed: "Go back to the villa in the capital now, get that half bottle of Yangshou Water, and drink it all in one go. Your body will slowly return to normal, and the lost height will grow back. Don't worry, just think of it as secondary growth."

Ye Xian thanked him repeatedly, and then asked unwillingly, "How is He Xiaofeng doing?"

Bai Mian laughed: "He was not only frightened to the point of impotence, but also lost a lot of property. When he was dating Old Lady Yang, the luxury goods that Old Lady Yang gave him were all transformed by the illusion technique. Once Old Lady Yang died, the illusion technique became ineffective, and those things returned to their original state. Now he is probably cursing at home!"

Ye Xian asked: "What does it mean to return to the original state?"

Bai Mian shrugged: "Toilet paper, this thing is best used to transform things."

After that, Ye Xian laughed loudly. Lame Brother couldn't help but complain: "Isn't she a rich woman? Why did she give a fake gift?"

Bai Mian: "She is a rich woman, not a sucker. She has seen many men, and she can tell at a glance that He Xiaofeng is a money-worshiping man. There is no need to really give anything to such a man."

Ye Xian nodded: "Yes, I have to learn from her. There is no need to be sincere to such a man. It is a complete waste! I have to cheer up and concentrate on my work!"

Bai Mian blinked: "Why not go back to the south?"

Ye Xian was stunned: "Huh?"

Bai Mian said, "You came to Beijing just for this man. Now that you've broken up, there's no need to stay here any longer. Beijing's weather is dry, and the food is more northern. You've never been used to it, right?"

Ye Xian admitted: "Yes, but this is my first job after graduation. I'm afraid that if I quit so soon, people will think I'm not dedicated..."

Bai Mian shook his head: "Other people's opinions are not important, your own happiness is the most important. Besides, when I took your pulse, I saw your future. Your true love is waiting for you in the south!"

"Really?!" Ye Xian's eyes lit up and he immediately threw away all his worries. "Great, I'll go back and pack my luggage right away!"

After saying goodbye to Ye Xian, Bai Mian was finally able to take a break. The lunch break in the store was almost over. Because this case was so exciting, no one had time to eat. Now they had time to sit down and have lunch together.

Time was tight, so Gao Jin only made two dishes: fried tomato and eggs and stir-fried bitter melon and meat. The staple food was rice. Everyone ate it with relish as usual. While eating, Lame Brother said to Bai Mian:

"Little God of Wealth, you've really worked hard today. You've taken care of all three clients in just one morning, and you even got an unexpected reward. Now that you have that bell, can you summon Master Taixuan?"

Bai Mian ate his meal in big mouthfuls without saying anything. Lame Brother pressed on, "When he comes, how will you deal with him? Will I have a chance to see you fight?"

Bai Mian smiled: "Do you think he is a dog? He will come over just because I ring the bell? He is not stupid. Even if I ring the bell and he comes, he will realize that something is wrong when he sees that it is a stranger calling him. I guess he will leave immediately and I will not have the chance to meet him at all."

Lame Brother sighed: "So, even if you have this bell, it's useless since you can't shake it."

Bai Mian corrected: "It's not that you can't shake it, but you have to think of a countermeasure in advance."

Lame Brother's eyes rolled around: "What is your current strategy?"

Bai Mian pointed at the bowl with his chopsticks: "Eat!"

Lame Brother drooped his lips in disappointment. Suddenly, he thought of another question: "Oh, that bell is still in the capital. It's not in your hands at all!"

Bai Mian: "The bell is in the hands of the errand boy. I have already placed an order on my phone and asked him to take public transportation to deliver it to me. I will reimburse the travel expenses."

Lame brother frowned: "How long will it take?"

Bai Mian glanced at the time: "He can't come here until six in the afternoon at the earliest."

Lame Brother rubbed his hands excitedly. Based on his understanding of Bai Mian, Bai Mian would take action immediately after getting the bell and would not delay for too long. He would soon have a good show to watch.

But thinking of the cannibal dinner, Lame Brother felt a little uneasy. He warned: "If you go out, you must take me with you. Don't go alone. It's too dangerous!"

Bai Mian was helpless: "You don't know any magic, why bring you along?"

Lame Brother knocked on his chest and said, "But I can fight! More people means more strength. If you really can't do it, just treat me as a cheerleader. I'll tie ribbons on my hands and dance a sexy dance for you!"

"That's not necessary, just follow me quietly." Bai Mian agreed reluctantly.

After lunch, Weng Xuhua started business as usual. As the three fortune tellings for the day had already been completed and the onlookers had dispersed, only the patients who came to see the doctor were left in the store. Bai Mian saw that there was nothing to do, so he planned to make a cup of fruit tea and go upstairs to sleep.

While she was waiting for the water to boil, a middle-aged woman with pigtails rushed in. She ignored the queue and rushed directly to Weng Xuhua, asking him anxiously, "Old doctor, how much does it cost?"

Weng Xuhua replied gently: "It's 15 yuan per pulse diagnosis."

"...Fifteen?" The woman frowned in disdain, as if she thought it was too expensive. She turned to look at Bai Mian at the table next to her and asked anxiously, "How much do you charge? You're young, so it should be cheaper, right?"

"Ten yuan," Bai Mian said, "but I..."

Before Bai Mian could finish his next words, the woman impatiently stuffed the package in her arms to Bai Mian: "It's your turn, help me heal my child!"

Bai Mian opened the package and saw a milk-chewing baby inside. He seemed to be only a few months old. He was trembling all over and his face was slightly purple. He looked very dangerous.

Bai Mian hurriedly asked the woman: "What happened?"

The woman said embarrassedly: "The child ate the snacks carelessly and swallowed them, and the food got stuck..."

Upon hearing this, Weng Xuhua hurriedly took the child, placed him on his lap, and used the Heimlich maneuver for infants on him.

After a few times, the baby started coughing and vomited something in his throat. When they looked, they found it was a small piece of instant noodles.

The baby resumed breathing and his face regained color. The woman reached out to take the baby, but Weng Xuhua refused to give it back to her. He looked at her suspiciously: "This child is so young, he should be drinking milk, why are you feeding him instant noodles?"

The woman said guiltily, "Oh, I didn't feed him. The instant noodles fell on the bed, and when I wasn't watching, the child picked it up and ate it. Children are like this, naughty, you don't need to think too much about it."

Weng Xuhua looked unhappy, but he still didn't let go. The woman got anxious and shouted, "What are you doing? You want to snatch the child in broad daylight? Give the child back to me!"

Bai Mian pointed at the QR code and said, "You haven't paid yet."

"It's just ten dollars. Here you go!"

The woman impatiently slammed a ten-dollar bill on the table and tried to take the child away again.

Unexpectedly, Bai Mian grabbed her wrist with a smile:

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. You should enjoy the service after paying for it. How about I take your pulse?"
