The route became more and more desolate. The driver held the steering wheel, listening to the woman behind the car giving directions in a soft voice, with drops of cold sweat slowly dripping down his forehead.
"Didn't you say..." we were going to Jinguang Temple?
"Yeah." Bai Peilan held her stomach with both hands. The constant cold air made her lips turn white and her limbs itchy and painful.
For a moment, she felt that this was worse than death.
But she can't die, she won't die...
"This road can also lead to Jinguang Temple. Master, just drop me off in front of the mountain temple later and I will walk there by myself."
Bai Peilan barely suppressed the urge to scratch the wound on her hand and spoke slowly.
The driver looked at her carefully in the rearview mirror, and a pair of big black eyes came into view, which scared him so much that he slammed on the brakes.
"Master?" Bai Peilan looked at him dimly and said, "Hurry up and keep driving."
"Okay." The driver responded quickly and continued driving forward while holding the steering wheel.
Finally, Bai Peilan was sent to the vicinity of the mountain temple. When the driver got out of the car, he didn't even look carefully at how much money the other party gave. He quickly closed the car door and turned the car around and left.
After driving for a distance, the driver muttered, "What a weird thing! That mountain temple has been abandoned for a long time, and there are still people going there..."
Bai Peilan watched him leave expressionlessly.
After the driver's figure completely disappeared, she looked around again, then turned around holding her handbag and walked carefully along the path.
The cell phone suddenly rang. Bai Peilan paused and took out her cell phone to take a look.
It was Xu Yizi who sent her the message.
Yizhi: Peilan? Are you feeling better? I have already contacted him and will accompany you to see Master Liu tomorrow.
Yizhi: I talked to my dad today, and he agreed to let me know that we will get married when you are better.
Yizhi: So, Perrin, are you home? Open the door for me?
Yizhi: I want to see you
…
Gentle and considerate Xu Yizi.
Bai Peilan looked at the message sent by the other party on the screen, gritted her teeth and did not reply.
Wait a little longer. Wait a little longer.
When she finds that man and gets rid of the problem on her, she will quit the entertainment industry and be his wife Xu properly, cook for him, and bear children for him...
Bai Peilan's face suddenly darkened again, as if he had remembered something.
The infant demon curled up at her waist opened his eyes, and his bloodshot eyes stared quietly at her haggard but still beautiful face.
Then it stretched out its hand and probed into Bai Peilan's body bit by bit, slowly extracting the fate and luck that were integrated into her body.
Bai Peilan only felt a piercing pain in her stomach, as if something was struggling to leave her body.
Bai Peilan panicked.
She remembered what that person had said before, that the child's luck could only keep her prosperous for two years. If she wanted to continue to maintain her status, she had to take the child's fate away as well.
But the downside of doing this is that the child will hate her.
Once he finds an opportunity, he will stay by her side forever, tormenting her all the time, and then take back all his things.
But it is not difficult to avoid such a result. She is the mother of that child, and her blood naturally restrains the other party.
As long as she could safely return the borrowed destiny and luck within five years, although her life would be a little hard in the second half of her life, she would no longer have to worry about her life.
However, having tasted the life of luxury and decadence after becoming famous, Bai Peilan was reluctant to give her luck back.
She kept avoiding the reality, hoping for the best.
But, but it really came.
What Bai Peilan told Rong Jing before was not all lies, she did hear some strange noises.
The other party kept questioning her resentfully, asking her, Mom, what did I do wrong that you treat me like this?
Mom, why don't you give me my things back?
Mother……
The tender child's voice was like a death curse. Bai Peilan covered her head and screamed, then whispered viciously: "I'm not your mother, you are just an untimely product... What's wrong with me using my own child's luck? I'm not wrong..."
Her spirit was stretched to the extreme, and her words were somewhat incoherent.
But these few whispers seemed to give her the strength to move forward. Bai Peilan took a deep breath and continued walking inside, clutching her handbag.
This place was almost out of the city, surrounded by a desolate open space. The cold wind of early winter blew through, blowing up the withered yellow grass leaves on the ground.
In the distance, a dilapidated mountain temple appeared in sight.
Bai Peilan walked over, reached out and pushed open the door covered with dust and cobwebs.
This mountain temple has been abandoned for a long time. There was an earthquake here before, and although it did not cause any major impact, the government still relocated the nearby residents.
There were some people who stayed at first, but as the economy developed, more and more people left. Without incense and sacrifices, the mountain temple naturally declined.
Bai Peilan couldn't tell when she last came here. But when she walked in and looked at the mountain temple that seemed to have not changed at all, she felt a little nervous.
Bai Peilan took nine incense sticks from the altar, lit them with trembling hands, and then inserted them into the incense burner in front of the statue, which had been empty for who knows how long.
Wisps of green smoke rose up, blurring the upright and compassionate face of the statue.
"You still broke the agreement." A hoarse voice suddenly came from her ear. Bai Peilan was startled. She looked up and saw a skinny figure standing behind the statue, looking at her coldly.
"I..." Bai Peilan bit her lip, feeling a little scared for a moment.
The man was too thin, and seemed to be much thinner than the last time she came here. His dry arms were wrapped in his sleeves, and he looked empty, like a dried corpse.
At this moment, his eyes fell coldly on her lower abdomen. Bai Peilan stretched out her hand to cover it, and then gently let go: "I know I shouldn't break the agreement, but I really can't bear it... I have no other choice now, please save me."
The other party remained silent. After a long while, he said, "The infant evil has completely followed you. If you want to get rid of it, in addition to its own luck and destiny, you must also give me your luck for the next thirty years. Otherwise, there is no solution."
Thirty years of luck…Bai Peilan hesitated.
The man continued, "You can think about it carefully. But I think you probably don't have much time to think about it."
His tone sounded particularly unpleasant, and his temperament was chillingly sinister. Bai Peilan knew the other party's methods best - this was why she would rather go find another master first and waited until now to find the other party.
But his strength is unquestionable. Bai Peilan had already felt it when he transplanted the child's luck and destiny.
"I can give you all its luck and destiny, Master You." Bai Peilan whispered, "But thirty years of luck..."
She doesn't want to.
The man she called Master You suddenly smiled when he heard this: "If you don't want to exchange your thirty years of luck, that's fine."
Bai Peilan was delighted, but then a hint of vigilance appeared in her eyes. She always knew that behind such a statement, there would often be another unacceptable condition.
As expected, Master You continued, "But... you have to exchange it for your fiancé's fate and luck."
Yizhi's fate and luck? No, you can't.
Bai Peilan shook her head subconsciously.
However, Master You continued, "The Xu family has been doing good deeds for generations, and their yin virtues are profound. Even if your fiancé loses his current fate and luck, nothing will happen to him."
But the same cannot be said for Bai Peilan herself.
Everything she has now was obtained thanks to the fate and luck of that child. Once she loses these luck, she will also mortgage her own luck for the next thirty years. It is not difficult to imagine what will happen to her in the future.
Master You's words were full of hints, and Bai Peilan's eyelashes trembled.
Yizhi is the only son of the Xu family. Even if he has lost his luck, the Xu family will not give up on him.
She, she will never leave Yizhi because of this.
so……
"Then what should I do?" Bai Peilan asked in a low voice.
Master You laughed silently.
In a car not far away, Xu Yizi listened to Bai Peilan's voice coming from the paper crane, and his already pale face became even uglier.
The peach blossom mist on him had been cleared by Rong Jing. But even though he knew he had been deceived before, those sweet memories could not be ignored for a while.
However……
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yizi calmed down his emotions, turned his head and looked at the handsome young man sitting casually in the back seat, and whispered: "Thank you, Master Rong Tian, for saving me."
That Master You said something nice, saying that the Xu family has been doing good deeds for generations, and even if he loses his fate and luck, nothing will happen to him—
This statement was ridiculous. Even though he didn't believe in metaphysics before, he knew how important fate and luck were to people.
To put it bluntly, once he loses his fate and luck, it is hard to say whether Xu Yizi can still be a child of the Xu family.
And since Bai Peilan had been able to use her child's fate and fortune to benefit herself, how could she not have thought of these things?
She is just completely selfish and only cares about herself.
Xu Yizi finally understood why his father, who had always been strong-willed, would be so humble in front of Rong Jing, and why he stuffed himself into the car when Rong Jing came over.
Rong Jing glanced at him calmly, and said in a cold and pleasant voice: "It's just a convenience."
Xu Yizi smiled.
Perhaps this matter was indeed something that Rong Jing did conveniently, but for him and their Xu family, it was like a grace of rebirth.
——Bai Peilan can now calculate on Xu Yizi’s fate and fortune, and in the future he will naturally be able to calculate on the entire Xu family.
Xu Yizi carefully kept this favor in his heart and felt a little annoyed. The last time he visited him, although his attitude was polite enough, it was not respectful after all. He didn't know whether Master Rong Tian would mind.
Sighing, Xu Yizi thought of the head of the Xie family who had established a good relationship with Rong Jing early on, and couldn't help but admire the other party's vision.
…
In the mountain temple.
Master You has already told Bai Peilan how to extract Xu Yizi's fate and fortune.
"... Wear this jade token on your body again. When the time comes, Xu Yizheng's fate and fortune will naturally change." Master You slowly handed over a jade token as small as a little finger.
Bai Peilan took the jade token with some hesitation, and then put on her clothes.
The strange runes engraved on her snow-white back slowly disappeared as she moved.
Even though it was still winter, Bai Peilan couldn't help but shiver the moment she got the jade token.
It was too cold, like holding a thousand-year-old ice. I didn't know how much blood, flesh and luck would take to warm it completely.
No, how could she think of this.
Bai Peilan's heart skipped a beat, he put the jade token away, then looked at Master You.
"I have already agreed to your conditions. Then the infant evil spirit in my body..." When he said the last two words, a hint of complexity and disgust flashed in Bai Peilan's eyes.
That child was her first, but unfortunately it came at the wrong time. She was just starting to become a star, and it was impossible for her to keep it.
But when she was pregnant, she couldn't have an abortion for various reasons and was forced to give birth to the child.
Originally, she wanted to send it away directly, but... she was in a really difficult situation at that time.
She didn't intend to kill it, but its body was too weak, and it died accidentally when its fate and luck were being extracted.
But it's gone, why should it come back...
Bai Peilan pursed her lips and withdrew her thoughts.
Perhaps she felt that she had found a solution, her emotions finally stabilized, and her tone became more determined: "If I continue to be in this state, Xu Yizi will find out sooner or later, so I ask Master You to help and disperse the infant evil."
She could have just expelled them, but she demanded a complete disbanding. This woman's mind was as vicious as ever.
Master You looked at her in surprise, and then said: "I can only help you control it temporarily. When you get Xu Yizi's fate and luck, I will naturally help you get rid of it completely."
"But..." Bai Peilan frowned, unable to accept such a result.
Master You's expression turned cold. "We both know each other's temperament. I said it directly, I don't believe you. So before I get Xu Yizi's fate and luck, I won't help you completely get rid of the infant evil."
"...Okay." Bai Peilan hesitated for only a moment, then said, "I understand."
Seeing that she was sensible, Master You relaxed his brows slightly, took a step forward, and planned to help her temporarily seal the infant evil.
However--
A clear and gentle spiritual energy suddenly came from Bai Peilan's lower abdomen, slowly resisting his strength.
The infant demon, whose consciousness was filled with resentment, stared at him with bloodshot eyes. His bloody palms were small but hard, and he was still persistently reaching into Bai Peilan's body, taking back his things bit by bit.
Master You paused for a rare moment, and then his gaze slowly fell on the other hand of Yingsha that was holding Bai Peilan's waist.
There seems to be an orchid there?
The spiritual energy that resisted his power seemed to come from this orchid.
Master You's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
However, before he could figure it out, the slightly wilted orchid suddenly emitted a brilliant golden light, and its spiritual energy spread out like water, instantly trapping him in place.
"You brought people here?!" Master You turned his head suddenly and questioned Bai Peilan.
Bai Peilan was also shocked by this sudden change. Hearing this, he quickly shook his head: "I didn't!"
She clearly came here alone and didn't even reply to Xu Yizi's message.
Unless it was the taxi driver... That shouldn't be the case. Her luck has not completely worn off, so the driver shouldn't suspect her of anything.
Bai Peilan thought about it and couldn't figure out what was going on, but she had a vague premonition in her heart and her expression was very ugly.
Master You probably knew something. His dry face showed a gloomy look. He moved his fingertips and threw out a few talismans.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the talisman exploded on the spiritual energy, but only a fist-sized gap was left.
Master You's eyes became even darker, his long robe fluttered without wind, and he took out a blood-red peach wood sword in his hand. The evil aura immediately filled the entire mountain temple.
"I don't know which fellow here is, please come out and talk." The hoarse voice spread far away along with the evil spirit. Xu Yizi looked at Rong Jing nervously, but saw that the other party closed his eyes slightly, and his beautiful fingertips gently stroked in the air -
The bright golden light flickered like starlight, seemingly fragile and tiny, but it swallowed up all the evil spirit created by Master You.
Xu Yizi had no idea what the other party was doing, nor could he see the spiritual light and evil energy fighting in the air.
However, he could clearly feel that the air where he was just now seemed to suddenly become extremely cold and sticky, and after Rong Jing's action, it suddenly became warm again.
The other party had not even shown his face, but had already broken his tricks to this extent. Master You's face was as gloomy as water, and he held the peach wood sword in his hand and slowly drew it across his palm.
The bright red blood soaked the surface of the peach wood. The vengeful spirit sealed in the peach wood sword sensed a familiar breath and slowly awakened.
Bai Peilan looked at the dozen or so huge ghost shadows that suddenly appeared in the air, screamed, and almost fainted.
However, how could the infant evil spirit that she had killed with her own hands allow her to faint so peacefully?
As if it sensed Rong Jing's presence from the flying spiritual light, it looked up at the dim sky, and then continued to work, extracting its own fate and luck.
In the midst of fear, the feeling that something was slipping away in my body became more and more obvious.
Bai Peilan burst into tears and tore at her belly in vain: "No, don't take them away, don't..."
While she was crying bitterly, Master You's cold gaze had already fallen on her.
He originally wanted to use this woman to seize Xu Yizi's fate and fortune, and then train her and the infant evil together to become a mother and child ghost Gu, but now he has no way to do it.
With a thought, the most evil ghost among them lowered its head.
Master You shouted, "Go!"
A bloody wind blew, and when Bai Peilan raised her eyes, she was met with the irrational and violent face of the evil spirit.
Her soul was forcefully torn from her body. Bai Peilan opened her mouth but was unable to utter the last word.
She tried her best to keep everything she had, even using her fiancé as a bargaining chip, but in the end she died at the hands of the person she first asked for help.
It's like a cycle of cause and effect.
The infant demon hanging on Bai Peilan was also stunned for a moment, then turned around and easily took his things back from her body.
The moment his fate and fortune returned to his own hands, the evil spirit on the infant's body slowly dissipated, and his bloody face slowly became clear.
She is actually a very cute child.
It looks like it was just over a month old, with soft hair on its forehead and eyes as clear and clean as lake water.
But without the protection of the resentful evil spirit, it is now just an ordinary infant spirit. The evil ghost brutally devoured Bai Peilan's soul, and then turned its covetous eyes to it.
Just when the evil ghost was about to devour the baby's spirit, a talisman suddenly flew over, and the scorching lightning directly struck the evil ghost, seriously injuring it.
Rong Jing pushed open the door of the mountain temple and walked in slowly.
Master You noticed the movement, looked up, and frowned slightly.
They were not the few Heavenly Masters that he knew who were stationed in Beijing.
Who is this person? !
He took a cautious step back, but the peach wood sword in his hand did not stop.
In the direction where the sword pointed, more than a dozen evil spirits suddenly pounced towards Rong Jing!
The fishy wind lifted Rong Jing's half-long hair. His amber eyes raised lightly. His jade pen was as sharp as a knife. The flowing golden light formed a huge talisman formation in a moment, which strangled the evil spirit that was rushing towards him domineeringly and forcefully.
It can't hurt him at all!
Master You's face changed drastically, and he was really panicking this time. However, Rong Jing walked towards him step by step on the bluestone road. He took two steps back and was trapped by the other party's spiritual energy again, unable to escape at all.
"My fellow Taoist," he said after trying to calm down, "we have no past or present grudges. Please show some mercy and let me go. I, You, will definitely repay you in the future."
However, Rong Jing looked indifferent, but he did not answer and continued to walk towards him with the spirit pen in his hand.
When Master You saw this, a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes. Then he moved his right hand, and the Yin Sha Talisman hidden in his palm flew directly towards Rong Jing.
With a strange smile on his face, Master You was about to watch Rong Jing being tortured to death by this specially made Yin Sha Talisman, when he saw Rong Jing gently stretch out his left hand——
With a light pinch of her slender and beautiful fingertips, she firmly clamped the speeding Yin Sha Talisman between her fingers.
"How is it possible—" Master You said in a lost voice. He had specially asked the master for this Yin Sha Talisman, and he had added a lot of soul power to it. How could it be taken down so easily?
This is impossible, this is impossible...
Rong Jing paid no attention to his shock. He took a step forward with his long legs. The spirit-pointing pen in his hand pierced through the layers of yin energy and landed between his eyebrows.
Master You only felt a muffled "buzzing" sound in his head, and then his whole body became dazed.
Without his strength to support it, the pervasive negative energy immediately dissipated.
"Master Rong, what's going on——"
There was a sudden silence from inside. Zhou Songyun sensed something and rushed in with his men.
Then he saw that Rong Jing was the only one still standing in the whole place, while the others were lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
???
As if sensing his inner doubts, Rong Jing tapped Master You's withered body with his toes: "This one is still alive."
As for Bai Peilan, he died without even a fragment of his soul left.
Zhou Songyun: "...I understand, Master Rong."
After having Master You, who was lying on the ground, taken away, Zhou Songyun looked at Rong Jing again, waiting for his instructions.
Rong Jing: “…”
But there is indeed something else.
Rong Jing asked them to move the statue from the mountain temple, and found out there was a secret passage hidden behind it.
Zhou Songyun carefully led people in to take a look, and immediately found two life-gathering tablets placed on the altar.
The fate cards were bright red like blood. Zhou Songyun looked at them, was silent for a few seconds, and then reached out to collect them.
After checking again, Zhou Songyun and others found many strange and incomplete runes inside.
They did not dare to be careless. They took careful photos for record and prepared to report to their superiors before leaving.
Rong Jing, who was standing in front of the secret passage, only took a glance at the secret passage and then retracted his gaze, his eyes falling on the infant spirit on Bai Peilan's body.
"Why haven't you reincarnated yet?" Rong Jing leaned over and asked in a light tone.
The infant spirit cannot speak now, but its emotions are clearly revealed in its eyes.
Reaching out and grabbing the hem of Rong Jing's clothes affectionately, the infant spirit cried "ah ah" twice and grinned.
Rong Jing: “…” He really couldn’t do anything with children.
Sighing, Rong Jing picked up the infant spirit from Bai Peilan's body, and then said to Zhou Songyun who had just come out of the secret passage: "Send me to the hospital."
Zhou Songyun was shocked by his words as soon as he came out: "Master Rong Tian, are you injured?!"
"...No," Rong Jing glanced at him, "It's just something."
"Oh." Zhou Songyun looked around him and indeed didn't see any injuries. He slowly felt relieved and said, "Then I'll send someone to take you there."
After finally capturing a living person who was related to the life-changing formation and the life-gathering card, Zhou Songyun did not dare to leave easily. He even made a few phone calls and requested a few more masters to come and check it.
Rong Jing didn't mind and said "hmm" lightly.
But Zhou Songyun seemed to remember something and said, "But, Master Rong Tian, don't you have my contact information? Why is it that Patriarch Xie contacted me today?"
Rong Jing: “…”
Fortunately, Zhou Songyun suddenly remembered that incident and did not dwell on it. After asking about Master You's condition, he called his subordinates and respectfully sent Rong Jing to the nearest hospital.
