Chapter 40
The words came out so smoothly that Yu Ming, An Jing and the sleepy little Taoist priests behind the tablet were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't understand.
After a long while, Che Xuming asked doubtfully, "Why would you exchange two dead people? Aren't they... two ghosts?"
Su Yun suddenly realized and was silent for a while: "...I mean, changing the fate of the ghost is like changing the merits of a ghost to another ghost, so that the ghost with the heinous crimes can not suffer so much sin."
"The King of Hell is not blind, how can he be fooled by such a little trick?" Che Xuming said unhappily.
"Actually... Mr. Ziyuan really tried it, but was exposed, so this path came to nothing." Yu Ming suddenly said this.
Then the whole basement became even quieter.
Su Yun clapped his hands and said, "So, capable people never complain about the environment. The spirit of Master Ziyuan is worth learning, especially you, Mr. Yu. If you can learn even a little bit from him, you might be able to change your fate!"
Yu Ming rolled his eyes at her: "Do you think Master Ziyuan can help me learn this spirit?"
That was indeed impossible, so they decided not to discuss it further. Yu Ming didn't have much time to start over anyway. If Su Yun hadn't had the sudden idea to find people from Jingling Sect, he would still be deceived.
According to Ziyuan Jushi's research, important organs can affect a person's life. If only some less important organs are replaced, the fate may still be corrected. However, the replacement of important fate is irreversible. Even if you replace them again later, some of the impacts cannot be reversed unless the experiment is terminated before the impact occurs.
Among them, there is an example that can be regarded as a watershed in Ziyuan Jushi’s experiment - one of Yu Ming’s fellow practitioners went home to visit a relative and save someone and was stabbed dozens of times. His internal organs were damaged, he lost too much blood, suffered muscle loss, and his tendons and nerves were broken in many places. In addition, he was sent to the hospital too late, so the doctor told him to either prepare for paralysis or prepare for his death.
After receiving the news, the teacher of Jingling Sect quickly contacted the Taoist doctor of Xingji Temple to try and see if the person could be saved. As they had to find a way to save their own disciple, they would definitely do something.
Yu Ming went with other disciples as a visiting representative, and then he met Master Ziyuan again on the train. The other party gave him a message, saying that the disciple this time was in very good condition and was suitable to be a perfect experimental subject.
An Jinghe also participated in this incident, but he was very young at the time, and apart from following along and feeling particularly sad and angry when he saw his senior brother's miserable condition, he did not have many emotions. As for what Yu Ming did in it, An Jinghe had no idea.
"Master Ziyuan informed me that he wanted to secretly replace the most seriously injured parts of that senior brother's body, preferably with organs taken from healthy people with good enough fate. Sometimes I think he is simply doing something stupid, but... after that senior brother changed his body, his temperament did change drastically and he left Jingling Sect. I even suspected that Master Ziyuan had replaced even his soul." Yu Ming was also confused when talking about this matter.
Quiet and frowned: "But what did you do in it?"
Yu Ming replied directly: "Lookout, you asked me where I went at that time. I said I went out to play because it was a rare opportunity to come here, but in fact I was in the hospital, mainly to look out for Master Ziyuan. If anyone came, he would notify him to run away quickly. And the organs were not replaced all at once. He replaced a little every day before the Taoist doctors came to check on the situation."
Every time one or two organs are manually replaced in front of the Taoist doctors, the Taoist doctors will only think that the patients are receiving treatment and are slowly recovering, and they will not think that someone has directly thrown away the bad organs and replaced them with new ones.
Su Yun was very interested in this process: "So, Master Ziyuan did the same thing as when he took the organs out of my body and directly replaced them in the body of the person who needed them, and the other person's personality changed drastically? But the person who replaced my fate didn't change much."
"I'm not sure. I know that your fate is now being used by the biological daughter of the Su family, but her personality has not changed much. That's why I suspect that Master Ziyuan may have changed his soul at that time. But I really can't see it. Or, think about it, senior brother." Yu Ming threw the question to An Jinghe impatiently.
According to the time calculation, An Jinghe was in his early twenties at that time. Although he was still stupid, at least he could remember things.
An Jing hesitated for a while and said, "I remember that brother. He was a very good person before the accident. He had already decided on the direction of cultivation and his cultivation was not bad... In fact, I suspected one thing back then. With his cultivation, it would be difficult for him to be beaten like that, unless the crazy person's cultivation was higher than his."
Yu Ming had no feelings for Jingling Sect, so naturally he was not familiar with these brothers and sisters. He only listened to the surface of many things. Now he understood what was going on after listening to An Jinghe: "He has already chosen a direction? What about his Taoist partner? He doesn't want to be a Taoist anymore, and he has left Jingling Sect. What about his Taoist partner?"
Asking this is not because Yu Ming has suddenly become kind-hearted and changed his character, it's simply because he's gossiping.
An Jinghe replied: "He didn't look for a Taoist partner, he just decided on a direction. He said that he consulted a teacher to tell his fortune and felt that he had a connection with ghosts. He originally planned to cultivate ghosts. Maybe he had a love affair in his previous life, and in this life, it became a love affair between a human and a ghost."
Jingling Sect will not stop teaching disciples just because they haven't found a Taoist partner. Instead, they hope that disciples can find their own direction. After choosing a Taoist partner, if the type is not right in the future, they can change it. At least they have to set a general direction.
Zhao Tuhu decided in advance to choose the strongest zombie, but Yu Ming dragged his feet and his cultivation level was not high until he defected.
There are also many disciples who, like the brothers who left, first calculate who they are destined to be with. Usually they just calculate the type and that's it, and make preparations in advance.
It is almost unheard of for someone to decide on the direction of their cultivation and then make a fuss about leaving, as the senior brother who left did. After all, Taoists can get married and have children, and many people do not object. Although the Jingling Sect is special and may not be able to have children even if they want to, it is enough to deal with family members who say that their health is not good. Naturally, few people decide to leave after achieving some cultivation.
In An Jinghe's impression, the senior brother finally woke up after a very long operation. The originally gentle and polite man suddenly became very manic and looked like a useless man who could only do impotent rage.
In that era, there weren't so many messy buzzwords to describe a person. I was quiet and heard my master talking to him when I went to visit him.
The master said, "But you came to the mountain to practice Taoism. Why do you feel that being a Taoist priest is meaningless now?"
"The Jingling Sect is poor and dilapidated. You said we were going to practice Taoism, but do you think this is practicing Taoism? You said you have cultivation skills in front of a Taoist priest, then why did you beat me up like this?" The senior brother mocked me with all kinds of things.
"You have always been gentle and polite. Maybe you just don't want to fight with ordinary people. Your attitude was not like this during the operation." The master's voice sounded very sad.
However, the senior brother replied maliciously: "Of course I have to pretend to be nice, otherwise what will I do if you leave without treating me? It seems that you are really capable. It must be because you taught me the real skills that I was beaten like this. If you watch me die without helping me, I will be in trouble."
Originally he was trying to save lives with good intentions, but the other party turned the situation upside down and made it the fault of Jingling Sect. The master was so angry that he directly agreed to let the other party withdraw from Jingling Sect. He didn't even need to go back to complete the formalities. His Taoist certificate would be revoked by Jingling Sect.
Because the master left in anger, An Jinghe didn't know much about the follow-up. Later, he returned to the sect. Other older brothers secretly told him that the brother's temperament changed drastically. After returning home, he beat his parents and relatives, and found a wife. His family was torn apart by him.
An Jinghe felt that the senior brother was not that kind of person, and couldn't help but secretly go to see him once. She found that the originally thin and tall senior brother had become fat and ugly without her knowing when.
It is said that appearance reflects the heart. Originally, the senior brother looked quite handsome, but now he is completely unrecognizable as himself. Instead, he has a very ferocious face and a big belly, and he looks like he could scare children to tears when he walks out.
But for a person who has been educated in Jingling Sect since childhood, and who also agreed on how to practice before leaving, could a serious illness really turn a person into a different person?
An Jinghe told his master what he had seen. His master said that it was impossible for people to do things without a purpose. There must be nothing wrong with the way his senior brother was in Jingling Sect before. He was about to practice the martial arts, so how could he give up halfway at this time? Even if he was sent by someone to steal the martial arts, he should wait until he got the martial arts before revealing his true identity, right?
So the master suspected that when they went to rescue people it was too late, the senior brother's soul had already dissipated, and they rescued a monster.
"Monster? Does it mean that some wandering ghosts take over a person's body when he is about to die?" Su Yun asked doubtfully. She had seen similar cases in books but had never seen them with her own eyes.
"That's what the master said. There's something weird about senior brother's affairs. We in the Jingling Sect have no grudges against anyone, so we can only suspect that senior brother's soul has dispersed. But we have to save him. It's not that senior brother's soul is completely gone from his body. It's possible that part of it is in the underworld and part of it is occupied by someone else. So it looks like senior brother is still the same, but his temperament has changed drastically." An Jinghe said with great regret.
The Jingling Sect has no way to deal with this matter. It should be said that there has been no particularly good solution from ancient times to the present. It is like having a heart transplant. Human organs have their own memories. If you want to save your life, you have to accept this change.
Many patients who have undergone heart transplant surgery and their families will encounter this problem. Generally, hospitals advise family members to take it slow and, after reconstruction, use the memory of care and affection to cover the memory of the original organ.
An Jing and Senior Brother were like the unlucky ones who had their hearts replaced with those of a scumbag, so that they became completely different people.
Su Yun felt a little disgusted when he heard this: "Isn't this behavior just forcibly swapping two people? Just like two bottles of drinks, does exchanging the bottles mean changing fate?"
"It was mainly an experiment at that time," Yu Ming explained to Su Yun, "There were many similar experiments. Because they were not sure what could change the fate, Ziyuan tried everything. Later, there were also people who replaced all their organs but failed. But that person was not a disciple of Jingling Sect. I heard it from him."
In addition to the Jingling Sect, Master Ziyuan also developed other people as his experimental subjects, and used the promise of changing their fortunes and destinies to lure and control them, just like he lured Yu Ming.
There was once a serious car accident in a city, and Master Ziyuan went directly to find the survivors. One of the survivors was given a critical illness notice several times, but the doctor never gave up. After more than ten hours of rescue, he was finally pushed into the ICU.
The doctors said that the patient could only be saved for a period of time and could not be completely saved. However, that family was rich and they just hung on to his life, just like the old man of the Wu family, who would not give up until the last moment.
Mr. Ziyuan happened to like this body, so he directly replaced the person's injured organs and some bones. Ben thought that he would see the same situation as Anjing and his senior brother, which would then become one of the cases and evidence of success. As a result, the patient recovered well, his temperament did not change drastically, and his fate did not change at all.
After Yu Ming finished telling this example, he said to Su Yun, "Director Su, think carefully, isn't this example closer to the situation between you and the Su family's biological daughter? Someone changed your fate, but you don't seem to have changed at all."
"It's like this. Although I'm dead and don't count as unchanged, Su Yun hasn't changed at all. She took on my fate but didn't become like me." Su Yun said with some disgust.
“That’s why I said that your current situation is the result of Mr. Ziyuan’s adjustments based on years of experiments. With his years of experience, he has been able to change only the fate but not the person.” Yu Ming sneered and clenched his fists.
Su Yun still didn't quite understand: "But, my guess is that the Su family found someone else to postpone the time of my death, so that Su Yun could occupy my fate. If all these things were done by Master Ziyuan, how can you say that you don't know?"
Yu Ming said, "Are you stupid? Of course, Master Ziyuan took money from both sides. He took the money from the Su family and said he would save Su Yun's life. Then he set his sights on your fate and persuaded the Su family to swap your fate with Su Yun's. Then he figured out who wanted your fate. He gave advice from both sides. I don't know why he didn't fail, but he was the one who took you away and replaced you."
As they were talking, they actually came back to the incident of Su Yun being kidnapped. Now this seemed even more weird.
Su Yun raised his hand to stop Yu Ming from speaking: "Wait, why are you coming back to me? You left Jingling Sect thirty years ago, and I was born twenty-six years ago. Did Master Ziyuan's plan actually start from that time?"
Yu Ming nodded: "Yes, I actually only participated in a little bit of your affairs, because I had escaped for four years at that time, and my cultivation speed had been declining. Jingling Sect was also chasing me fiercely, so I was very anxious and had no time to play house with Ziyuan Jushi."
"Then why did you defect? I regret that I personally broke your formation. If you hadn't been able to get out, things wouldn't be like this now." An Jinghe sighed, his tone full of sadness.
Seeing An Jing and his rather sad expression, Yu Ming said directly: "Brother, if you hadn't come to save me, other brothers and junior brothers would have come to save me. That was my fate that hadn't been changed. I would have left Jing Ling Men because of greed. At that time, Master Zi Yuan told me that the mother-child zombie was destined to be with me. If I could get the mother-child zombie, I could leave Jing Ling Men, go out to do business, make a lot of money, and become a superior person."
From a certain perspective, Master Ziyuan's calculations were actually correct. Yu Ming did make money, even if it was because he replaced Chu Feidu. Later, he was treated with great respect as a master. Even if it was only a flash in the pan, it still made Yu Ming, who was arrogant because of his rapid increase in cultivation at that time, believe in Master Ziyuan without a doubt.
However, soon, Yu Ming began to find something wrong - his cultivation speed was too slow. In the beginning, he could fight back and forth with the former leader of Jingling Sect, but in the end he was beaten and fled away in fear. It was not at all what Master Ziyuan said, that he would be able to become a superior person and change his destiny after he came out.
Mr. Ziyuan also looked puzzled at the time, and in turn suspected that Yu Ming had not learned well in Jingling Sect. After all, if he had really learned well, it would be impossible for him to bring a powerful mother zombie with him without any improvement in his cultivation.
When he suspected Yu Ming, Master Ziyuan was still quite sanctimonious. He said, "Yu Ming, I am just a fortune teller. I can tell people's life numbers, but I can't help you practice. You have worked hard to learn in Jingling Sect, so is it possible that your skills are incomplete?"
Yu Ming was almost mad at him for shirking responsibility: "Don't you know how to tell fortunes? Aren't you accurate? Then why don't you tell me whether it is true or not? Do you want me to figure it out myself?"
Unexpectedly, Master Ziyuan suddenly looked distressed: "Actually, there is something I didn't tell you. A large sect like theirs has a mountain protection formation to protect important things, such as skills, treasures, etc., so outsiders can hardly calculate it, unless my cultivation is stronger than all the old monsters in their sect combined, but do you think it's possible? I have been practicing for 800 years and it still doesn't work."
What the other party said made a lot of sense. Yu Ming thought about it and couldn't think of any rebuttal, so he believed it. According to the advice of Mr. Ziyuan, he planned to recruit some disciples with talent for cultivation from Jingling Sect in the future to see if he could find the reason.
This is why Zhao Tuhu chose to defect despite his good practice. Before defecting, he released the founder and stole the sect's Ganoderma lucidum.
No matter how much Yu Ming believed in Master Ziyuan's predictions, he had to live his own life, so in addition to receiving news from Master Ziyuan, he also had to make a living on his own. Adding to his vanity and greed, he began to go down a path of no return.
Almost four years after escaping, Yu Ming was cornered by the Jingling Sect and was ready to escape. But at this time, Master Ziyuan knew that he had encountered an excellent fate, but his skills were not yet mature, and it would be a pity if he ruined it now.
"Possible? Born again? Are you sick? There are so many people who are born possibly, are they all with good fates? I'm almost killed by the Jingling Sect, and you instigated me to come out. Instead of finding a way for me, you do this. Believe it or not, I will kill you?" Yu Ming wanted to hit someone when he heard Ziyuan Jushi's words to capture Siliu. He wished he could twist Ziyuan Jushi's head off on the spot and make amends to the Jingling Sect.
"Oh, don't be anxious. This girl was born in a Tai Sui fate. Think about what Tai Sui is? She is the only one who offends others, no one else offends her, do you understand? With this fate, even God will have to give her a blow. If you can get half of her fate, you don't have to hide!" Ziyuan Jushi looked at Yu Ming with a look that said, "Why are you so ignorant?"
Yu Ming was stimulated at once. He didn't want to admit that he didn't know the value of Su Yun. He was also greedy for Su Yun's fate. At that time, he was chased like a dog by the Jingling Sect and he wanted to fight back. How could he not be moved by such a fate?
Anyone who has seen Su Yun or Su Yun's current fate knows that it is a Tai Sui fate and there is no need to avoid it. Su Yun did not feel uncomfortable after hearing it.
Yu Ming, on the other hand, looked at Su Yun carefully and said, "Ahem, Director Su, don't be angry, I'll tell you something later. It's hard for anyone to not be moved by your Tai Sui fate. There are only a few good fates in the world, such as the emperor, the queen, the greedy wolf, the purple star, and the broken army. With your Tai Sui fate, you can become an emperor if you advance or you can be rich and noble for the rest of your life. Everyone wants it."
Su Yun shook his head: "I won't be angry. My fate is just a useless asset to me. If it's lost, I'll just treat it as bad luck that someone stole something not very important. The important thing is, who wants my fate and wants to kill me for no apparent reason?"
Yu Ming calmly looked at Su Yun's face, and after making sure that she was not angry about this, he continued, "It's the best that you think so. In fact, that fate is too good, and Master Ziyuan didn't dare to touch it. Besides... when he came to find me, you were not born yet."
The reason we knew about Su Yun’s birth was because Mr. Ziyuan took the order from the Su family.
At that time, Su's parents were still in love and wanted a little daughter, intending to have both a son and a daughter.
It was not easy to have a second child in that era. It was only because the Su family was rich that they could pay a fine at will. A noble family like theirs said that they did not favor boys over girls, but in fact, if the eldest son was not a son, they would definitely try to have a son. If the eldest son was a son, they would greedily want to have both a son and a daughter, and they could send their daughters to marry in the future.
However, loving couples will definitely pretend to want a beautiful daughter.
There are many requirements for finding someone to tell your fortune. It is not allowed to measure the gender of the fetus in China. Fortune telling is actually about looking at the gender of the baby. Of course, it can be done secretly, but telling the fortune is just a side job.
After the Su family found Master Ziyuan, he knew the baby would be short-lived as soon as he saw the position of the fetus, so he hinted to the Su couple, "This fetus was born three seconds after the other two, but your daughter was the last one. In this kind of situation, the first and the last ones are not good. Those born in the middle have the advantage."
Some things don't need to be said too clearly. As soon as the Su family heard it, they knew that their daughter probably had a bad fate, so they quickly asked if it could be avoided by giving birth early through a caesarean section?
Ziyuan Layman quickly stopped him: "No, the first one born is destined to be poor. What does it mean if your daughter is poor all her life?"
The Su family is powerful now, and their children will definitely have no worries about food and clothing. If a child is destined to be poor, it only means that the Su family has fallen.
The baby cannot be born first or last. They thought about giving birth in the middle, but how could they be so accurate? There are only three seconds between each birth. Even if a caesarean section is performed in the same operating room, there is no way to get those three seconds exactly.
This prophecy made the Su family couple feel very upset. They were just thinking about asking a more powerful person to calculate it, when they heard Master Ziyuan say, "If you two can accept it, I can explain it in more detail. What I just calculated was a rough calculation. In fact, it is not impossible to solve it."
The Su couple's psychology was grasped at once. If they just made a rough calculation just now, then a more in-depth calculation might not sound good, but there must be a solution!
So Master Ziyuan told the prophecy he had calculated: "In fact, the fate brought by the time of birth is secondary. The most important thing is that whoever is the eldest daughter of the Su family for twenty years will die! Only the child with the strongest fate can survive this disaster."
In other words, among the three children born three seconds before and after, only the one born in the middle will not die after twenty years as the eldest daughter of the Su family.
It has to be said that the Su couple were immediately attracted. After hesitating for a while, they asked Master Ziyuan if they could take the middle child and raise her as the eldest daughter. After all, the Su family’s wealth was enough to raise another child.
However, Master Ziyuan shook his head mysteriously and said, "No, you can't fool God like this. When you compare adopted children with biological children, it's very obvious which one is the biological one. God holds fate in his hands. How can you solve this problem by adopting one more child?"
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch our daughter die?" Mrs. Su was pregnant and in an unstable mood, and she burst into tears.
"Don't cry first. I dare say that there must be a way. The way I can think of is that you should send your children away, don't go to see them or recognize them. It would be best if you can recognize them after the catastrophe is over at the age of 20. Then, adopt the child born in the middle and pretend that she is the eldest daughter of the Su family." A gleam flashed in Ziyuan's eyes when he said this.
The Su family couple was a little hesitant. Why didn't they raise their own child, but instead wanted to exchange it for a child they were not familiar with? Wouldn't God be able to see that they had secretly replaced the child?
Seeing that the two did not seem to be fooled, Ziyuan continued to tempt them, "Don't disbelieve me, have you read the story of head replacement in "Liao Zhai"? In fact, what you are doing is like replacing your daughter's head. As for the God, because of the fate of the child born in the middle, he will turn a blind eye."
Just like the beautiful young lady in the story, as long as she died, no one would suspect that someone had replaced her head.
The Su couple still don't want to treat someone else's daughter as their own child. They don't love their own child but instead love an adopted one. What kind of thing is this?
Seeing that they were unmoved, Ziyuan rolled his eyes and told them to think about it again, after all, there were still a few days before the baby was born.
During these few days, Mr. Ziyuan found Yu Ming and asked him what to do. It would be best if he could come up with an idea. After all, it would be such a waste if they didn't use this fate. How many children would they have to find to encounter this Tai Sui fate?
Today, some emperors and empresses with the fate of Tan Lang and Zi Wei are already old and in high positions. They are surrounded by at least three or five old guys, and they are not people they can interact with.
Su Yun, who was born under the fate of Tai Sui, should be the only excellent fate they will encounter in their lifetime.
Yu Ming was also a scoundrel, and he said directly: "Can't you do something to them? As long as you show some signs, are you afraid that they won't believe it?"
"This won't work. What if they become estranged from their own daughter in a fit of rage? I'll be frank, the children born at these three hours are all girls, and their lives are intertwined from beginning to end. If one of them is ruined, then we will definitely not succeed in changing their fate." Mr. Ziyuan said with a headache.
"Then you go and tell the Su family that this adopted child has an excellent destiny. If he is born in the Su family, the Su family's business will reach a higher level." Yu Ming thought about it and came up with this idea.
Mr. Ziyuan recalled the facial features of the Su couple and felt that it would work. Businessmen value profit, and the only thing that can make them put aside their family ties is profit.
This time, after much hesitation, the Su couple finally agreed. Life was really not easy in that era. Although they took advantage of the reform and opening up to develop their careers, this just shows that the above ideas will definitely affect the market. Anyone with foresight and sources of information will know what they should do.
So the Su family agreed to Master Ziyuan's approach and prepared to exchange the children of the two families. This way, no one would know about it, and they could do a paternity test to exchange the children back later.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Ziyuan insisted that it was not possible. He said that the couple who could give birth to a child with an excellent destiny had a good destiny themselves and were very smart. If they exchanged their daughters, they might find out in less than 20 years.
Neither this nor that worked, so the Su couple asked him directly what exactly should be done and just listened to him.
Mr. Ziyuan said that the woman who gave birth to the first child was unmarried and did not expect the child, so the child was destined to be a poor person. It would be best for the Su family to kill the baby girl with the poor fate and then exchange her, and then directly exchange both daughters to their side.
The Su couple didn't understand why one of the baby girls was killed. This was becoming increasingly unethical. They even suspected that Master Ziyuan had a grudge against the two couples. If so, wouldn't they be used as tools by others?
On the surface, the Su couple pretended to agree, and even checked into the same private hospital with the two pregnant women, preparing to give birth on the same day.
Originally, the Su couple wanted to check the background and life of Master Ziyuan, hoping to see if he was using them for personal revenge. However, after much investigation, they only found out that everyone who knew him thought he was a very accurate master.
Even if he changed people or investigation channels, the final results were exactly the same. He usually had few enemies and was very low-key among his peers. He looked like an ordinary Taoist priest who lived a carefree life with an immortal demeanor, and his calculations were quite accurate.
The news showed that there was no problem, but the Su family was still worried and went to investigate two pregnant women who were about to give birth. One of the couples was very loving. They were just an ordinary middle-class family. Being able to live in a private hospital seemed like spending all their family savings, but both of them were very happy.
There was another pregnant woman who was single and had no one to take care of her. Even her family was not around. I heard that she got pregnant before marriage and had been having a good relationship with the man. They were planning to get married after the birth of the baby, but the man cheated on her. The woman had a stubborn temper and broke up with them directly. She also planned to abort the baby, but she was already too far along in the pregnancy and an abortion would affect her, so she had no choice but to give birth.
Such a child, even if born, is probably destined to be given away. But giving her away is better than letting her live with parents who don't love her. What if her adoptive parents treat her well?
After searching for a long time, the Su family could not find any connection between Master Ziyuan and these people. They could only put aside their doubts and believe Master Ziyuan's prediction.
During this time, Master Ziyuan brainwashed the Su couple several times, and Yu Ming secretly tripped them up, making them believe that they would be unlucky if they came into contact with the poor daughter and the pregnant woman, so they dared not to contact the pregnant woman.
Soon it was time for the three pregnant women to give birth. They started having contractions and their amniotic fluid broke at the same time, and were pushed into the delivery room one after the other.
Medical resources in that era were not that abundant. In many places, if there were many pregnant women giving birth at the same time, they would even be pushed into the same operating room to give birth, and they would see each other's most embarrassing, undignified and shameful moment of their lives.
Only private hospitals can provide each pregnant woman with a separate operating room and the best services, avoiding embarrassment and shame. Some childbirth scenes are nightmares that women will never forget in their lifetime.
Three pregnant women were pushed into operating rooms in different directions. One of them gave birth alone without anyone waiting outside. Ever since Ji Weitang entered the operating room, Su Yiling outside had been like an ant on hot pot, walking back and forth with a thermos in her hand. There was also an auntie who was ready to take care of the baby next to her, holding a small quilt, headscarf, coat and other things.
The Su family has an even bigger team than Su Yiling's. There are several aunts alone, all waiting to take care of adults and children, as well as nutritionists and other professionals.
Because there were so many people, one more or one less would not be obvious. After the pregnant woman was pushed into the operating room, Su's father went to find Master Ziyuan to confirm with him what was going to be done.
That day, Mr. Ziyuan brought Yu Ming, who was wearing makeup, and claimed that he was his apprentice. In response to Su's father's questions, he said to wait and bribe the nurse so that the first baby could be taken out secretly, because the mother would definitely not care anyway.
As for Su Yiling and Ji Weitang, Mr. Ziyuan's idea was to let the nurse secretly give Ji Weitang some sedatives so that she would be aware and not hear the baby crying, or the nurse would find a way to cover the baby's mouth and then replace the baby in.
This was the first time they had done such a thing. After all, it was like replacing a prince with a cat in front of a pregnant woman. If they were not careful, the mother would find out. Especially since the mother loved her child very much, no movement would be hidden.
The nurse had been bribed long ago. After much thought, Su Jia thought that the safest thing to do was to secretly give the pregnant woman some medicine while she was in pain, so that she would be confused but not too awake. When she asked about it later, he could say that she was in so much pain that she was a little unconscious.
Giving birth is like going through the gates of hell. In fact, when it really comes to that time, pregnant women are in very bad spirits. The one who wanted to abandon the child fainted after giving birth. Ji Weitang was a little conscious, but when he heard the nurse say that she needed to be rescued, he also fainted.
As for Su's mother, since it was her second child, everything went smoothly and she was still conscious after giving birth.
The three children were placed in front of Su's father and Mr. Ziyuan.
The first child was crying, the second child was laughing, and the third child was sleeping, as if they already understood their fate.
Father Su reached out his hand to the first child several times but failed to press her down completely. Instead, she cried even harder. Monk Ziyuan next to him couldn't stand it anymore, so he threw a silver needle into the top of the child's head, and the child immediately fell silent.
"So, the first child was killed by Master Ziyuan? Just to deceive my parents?" Su Yun's eyes suddenly widened. The news she overheard was that Su's father killed the child, but she didn't expect that it was Master Ziyuan who actually did it.
"How can you not die? Don't you know how smart your parents are? They won't believe it unless you give them a dead baby. And seeing that they rescued you, I guess this dead baby didn't deceive them for long." Yu Ming said unhappily. That couple was really hard to deceive.
Su Yun wanted to say something but stopped himself. However, Yu Ming was right. Su Yiling and Ji Weitong were too cunning. If any other living child was sent over, they would definitely find out from the details that it was not their own child. So Master Ziyuan thought it would be best to send a dead baby instead so that they would give up.
As a result, the dead baby did deceive them at first. Who would have thought that they would go to various temples and Taoist temples to pray for Su Yun? And they just happened to meet a Taoist priest with real skills, who directly exposed Ziyuan's lies.
