Chapter 030 Jinjiang Debut
Li Mo was puzzled by the question: "Master, what do you mean by that? How else can a child come from? Of course it must be conceived by my husband and me. Does it mean...does the process of making a human being also need to be explained in the live broadcast room?"
Bai Mian: "It's true that you are pregnant with the child, but the child does not belong to you. The child's parents are other people."
Shi Xingye was confused: "You mean, my wife is pregnant, but the embryo in her belly has nothing to do with us? Doesn't that make it a surrogacy?"
Li Mo immediately denied it: "It's impossible. If this happened during assisted reproduction, it might be that the hospital made a mistake. But we got pregnant naturally, so this is impossible!"
Bai Mian said coldly: "Let me ask again, how did you get this child?"
The couple were terrified by Bai Mian's question. They looked at each other and no one dared to speak.
Lame Brother was very confused: "Why do you even need to ask? Of course the child was conceived by herself! Why do you make them sound like human traffickers? If a child that has already been born can be abducted, can a child in the belly also be abducted?"
Bai Mian asked back: "How do you know that you can't?"
Lame Brother was stumped by Bai Mian's question, but Li Mo suddenly had an idea. She pushed her husband and whispered, "Honey, could the master be talking about our experience when we went up the mountain that time?"
Shi Xingye also suddenly realized: "So it's this matter, but...but Master Liu said that this matter cannot be spread to others!"
Li Mo sighed, "Nothing can be hidden from the master. Master Bai has already figured it out. What difference does it make whether he tells it or not? In my opinion, just tell it."
After the couple discussed it, Li Mo spoke:
"Master, we got married three years ago. We have been living happily since then. Although I have not been pregnant, neither of us thinks this is a problem. As long as the fate is right, we will have children naturally."
"But at the beginning of this year, we both went for a full physical examination, and the results showed that both of us were infertile. Our chances of getting pregnant naturally were almost zero, which made us very sad. Although we are not in a hurry, we still want to have a child of our own."
"The doctor said that if we still want to have children, we can only consider assisted reproduction. I checked online and found that assisted reproduction is very harmful to the woman. She needs to take a lot of injections and medications. Some people have even developed terminal illnesses due to taking too many hormone drugs."
"I was really scared. My husband and I didn't want to choose artificial assisted reproduction. In the end, we had no choice but to rely on metaphysics. We asked around and found out that there was a very powerful temple on Mount Bodhi. There was a statue of Guanyin in the temple. All couples who went there to worship Guanyin successfully got pregnant after returning."
"So we went to climb Mount Bodhi. The mountain was very high and we worked hard to get to the top. There was a big tree in front of the temple with many green fruits on it. Those fruits were all in the shape of children, just like the ginseng dolls in Journey to the West. Many couples lined up under the tree to pick fruits, and we picked one too."
"After picking the fruits, we respectfully worshipped the Goddess of Childbirth and burned some incense. Just as we were about to leave, an old man suddenly came out from behind the temple and stopped us. He said his surname was Liu and that he was the owner of the temple. He saw a liking for us and wanted to invite us to sit in the teahouse."
"We saw that he looked friendly, so we followed him in. We were actually quite confused at the time. There were so many couples present, why did he only call us? Thinking back, it was probably because he saw the gold watch on my hand and decided that we came from a good family."
"After we entered the house, the old man locked the door and told us that the human-shaped fruit on the tree in front of the temple was just an ordinary big green pear, which was pressed with a special mold. Bringing this kind of fruit back home can only bring good luck, but it actually has no effect."
Li Mo lowered his voice and said, "Then he told us mysteriously that if we really wanted a child, he had a way that was guaranteed to work, but it would cost some money. We were eager to have a child, so we agreed immediately, and then he took us to the backyard of the temple."
"There is a towering tree in the backyard of the temple. It bears many human-shaped fruits. It is very similar to the tree in front of the temple, but much larger than that tree."
"This old man surnamed Liu said that these are the fruits that can really bring children. As long as you eat the fruits from this tree, you will get pregnant within three days. Those couples who succeeded in getting children all got pregnant after eating the fruits from this tree. If we are sincere, we can spend 150,000 yuan to buy a fruit from the tree."
"My husband and I are from a decent family, so we can accept the price of 150,000 yuan. With the mentality of giving it a try, we paid the money. Master Liu asked me to pick a fruit by the tree. I looked around the tree and picked the tenderest one. He then asked us to go back to the tea room and wait for a while while he helped me pick the fruit."
"We waited for a long time in the tea room before Master Liu came back. When he came back, he was holding a small exquisite plate. The fruit I chose was on the plate. The fruit was very high, and I don't know how he reached it."
"I saw that the fruit looked no different from a pear, so I took it and took a bite. Who knew..."
When Li Mo said this, he dry heaved and his thoughts seemed to go back to that time.
When she took a bite, juice overflowed from the fruit. Unlike ordinary pears, the juice from this fruit was brown and had a strange fishy smell. The flesh was not white, but a transparent red, and the closer to the core it was, the darker it was.
After taking a bite, Li Mo and her husband looked at each other, and Shi Xingye quickly helped his wife speak up: "Hey, what kind of fruit are you selling? Look, it's not fresh at all. How dare you give people something that's rotten!"
Master Liu showed a strange smile: "This is called 'Meat Fruit', it's my secret recipe, don't ask any more questions, just eat it quickly, if you don't eat it, all your money will be wasted."
Thinking about the money she had already paid, Li Mo swallowed the human-shaped fruit in big mouthfuls, not daring to taste it carefully. After eating, a foul smell surged from her stomach. She instinctively wanted to vomit. Master Liu immediately covered her mouth with his hand: "Don't vomit, just hold it in. After this period of time, your child will come."
In order to have a child, Li Mo suppressed the urge to vomit, and the two of them hurriedly said goodbye to Master Liu. Before leaving, Master Liu repeatedly told them that this matter must not be mentioned to outsiders.
Hearing this, Lame Brother couldn't help but complain: "Wow, you dare to eat such disgusting things, and they are from unknown sources, you are really brave!"
Shi Xingye smiled sheepishly: "Hehe, we were obsessed with having a child at the time. Actually, when we calm down and think about it, we were also scared. We were afraid that the old man would give us some weird food. Fortunately, my wife's nausea disappeared after we went down the mountain."
"After returning home, we thought about the whole thing and were worried that we had been cheated. We were still hesitant about whether to call the police. But on the third day after we came down the mountain, my wife found that her menstruation had not come. After a while, we went to the hospital for a check-up and found that my wife was really pregnant. Our whole family was so excited!"
Shi Xingye grinned and said, "My wife is now four months pregnant. We just went for a pregnancy test yesterday, but the results are not out yet. We happened to see Master Bai's live broadcast room on our mobile phones, so we wanted to give our child a glimpse of the future. But when Master Bai opened his mouth, I was really scared. The master was right. We used a special method to pray for this child. But no matter how it came about, isn't it enough that the child is ours?"
Bai Mian raised his eyes and said, "In terms of blood relationship, this child is yours, but in terms of fate, he died a long time ago. Someone used evil magic to force him to reincarnate into your wife's belly. In other words, your wife is pregnant with a ghost baby now. If you give birth to him, you will have endless troubles in the future."
The smile on Shi Xingye's face suddenly stopped. Li Mo's hands became cold. She asked in disbelief, "What does it mean to have died a long time ago? Master, please explain in more detail. I don't understand."
Bai Mian explained in detail: "This child was originally conceived by a woman named Hu in Beihai City in June last year. When she was six months pregnant, Hu went for a pregnancy test and found that the child had abnormal chromosomes. He had an extra Y chromosome than normal people, which is commonly known as super male. So Hu immediately aborted the child."
"After Hu had an abortion, the stillborn fetus was illegally sold by a hospital nurse. It changed hands several times before ending up in the hands of the Master Liu you mentioned."
"Master Liu used evil magic to transform the ghost of Chaoxiong's dead fetus into human-shaped fruits on the tree. The fruits on the towering tree in the backyard are all dead and sick fetuses that he collected from everywhere. You chose Chaoxiong, so he came into your belly. However, even if you choose someone else, it won't be much better."
Li Mo's heart sank. She covered her mouth and said, "Could it be that when I ate that fruit, I actually ate the ghost of a baby?"
"That's right," Bai Mian nodded.
Li Mo bent down and vomited with a "wow" sound.
Lame brother shouted distressedly: "Don't vomit, don't vomit, please, auntie, if you vomit here, I will have to clean it up later!"
Li Mo vomited for a long time before she stopped. Shi Xingye wiped the corner of her mouth, turned his head and said to Bai Mian: "Master, I understand now. That Liu guy didn't let my wife get pregnant naturally. He stuffed the ghost of a baby into my wife's belly. And it was a sick baby that no one else wanted!"
"Not all of these aborted fetuses are sick," Bai Mian explained, "but even healthy fetuses carry resentment after being aborted. They are born again with resentment and are different from ordinary people. These children often have violent personalities and cold emotions. Giving birth to them will only make their parents restless for the rest of their lives."
Lame brother was amazed: "No wonder you questioned them as if they were human traffickers at the beginning. It turns out that fetuses in the womb can also be trafficked. It's really strange!"
Shi Xingye hugged Li Mo and said, "Wife, did you hear that? The master said that this child is a ghost fetus, and it will not be a normal person when it is born. Otherwise...or should we not have this child and abort it."
Li Mo was silent for a moment, waved his hand, and said softly: "After all, I worked so hard to get this child, I can't bear to abort it. Anyway, my pregnancy test results haven't come out yet, I'll tell you when the results come out. Whether it's super male or not, we'll know at a glance."
At this point, Li Mo seemed to still have a glimmer of hope. She asked Bai Mian, "The Master Liu who sent our child is also a master of metaphysics, and he also worships Guanyin. How could he use evil magic?"
Bai Mian pondered for a moment and said, "I can't find out his background just by feeling his pulse. If I want to investigate this case, I'm afraid I have to go to the scene to take a look."
Lame Brother looked at Bai Mian in surprise: "You want to go on a business trip? This is your first time to conduct a field investigation for a case. If you leave, won't I be the only one left in the store? Then why open the store? Just close it!"
"Without the master's order, no one is allowed to close the store. Don't try to take advantage of the opportunity to fish." Bai Mian smiled and exposed Lame Brother's thoughts.
When Shi Xingye saw Bai Mian preparing to leave, he immediately said gratefully, "Great, Master, you are actually willing to conduct a field investigation for our case. I feel much more at ease with you on board."
"Then my round-trip fare and possible expenses--" Bai Mian mentioned the money.
Shi Xingye nodded repeatedly: "We'll pay for it. We'll cover it all! Master, you don't have to worry about the money. Just focus on the investigation!"
"There is one more thing," Bai Mian looked at Li Mo's figure, "You said that Master Liu is easily attracted to rich people. I see that your figure is similar to mine. How about this, can you lend me some clothes to wear?"
Li Mo agreed without hesitation. Bai Mian simply took a few daily necessities and booked a flight to Bodhi Mountain on his mobile phone.
After arriving at the airport, Bai Mian instantly became the focus of the crowd. Passersby looked at her sideways, and even the security personnel couldn't help but look at her a few more times. The reason was simple: Li Mo dressed Bai Mian too dazzlingly.
Bai Mian only said that she wanted to borrow a set of clothes, but Li Mo dressed Bai Mian almost like a model on the catwalk. Not only did he make her wear a black tasseled long gown from LK, he also gave her a whole set of sapphire jewelry, plus a limited edition handbag from a big brand. It was hard not to attract attention.
While waiting for the flight at the airport, Bai Mian looked up some information about the Songzi Temple on the Internet. This Songzi Temple is not a traditional temple, but was built after 2015, and the temple is privately owned.
The flight took a total of nine hours. Bai Mian put on his eye mask and had a good sleep on the plane. When the plane landed, it was already dark. Bai Mian found the Songzi Temple according to the address. There were not many pilgrims coming to make wishes at this time. As expected, Bai Mian saw the old man described by Li Mo in the crowd, the Master Liu they mentioned.
Although the sky was dark, it could not hide the jewels on Bai Mian's body. Bai Mian pretended to bow in front of the statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth. As expected, Master Liu noticed her. He took the initiative to walk up to Bai Mian and strike up a conversation with her, using the same words.
"Madam, you look very noble. Why did you come here alone? Isn't your husband here with you?" Master Liu asked sympathetically.
Bai Mian was acting like a drama queen. She covered her mouth and pretended to be sad and said, "Alas, I wanted him to come with me, but unfortunately that dead guy was unlucky. Last month, he died in a car accident, leaving me with only a lot of cold and icy property. I am living alone in this world, what's the point? So, I want to have a child to accompany me, but my husband is dead, how can I have a child?"
As he spoke, Bai Mian shook the gleaming sapphire ring on his ring finger intentionally or unintentionally. When Master Liu saw the ring, his eyes lit up. He quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Madam, you may not believe it, but I have a way that is guaranteed to make people pregnant, even if they don't have a husband. However, I have to charge you some money. I believe this amount of money is nothing to you. If you are interested, let's talk for a moment."
Master Liu led Bai Mian to the tea room. After he boasted for a while, Bai Mian pretended to be convinced and transferred 150,000 yuan to Master Liu. Of course, he used Li Mo's money.
After the money arrived, Master Liu took Bai Mian to the backyard of the temple. In the backyard, Bai Mian saw the legendary "fertility tree". The tree was exactly the same as Li Mo described, with a huge crown and many baby-like fruits on the branches. However, when Bai Mian saw the tree, he immediately felt an evil spirit coming towards him.
"Madam, please look, the 'fertility fruits' are all here. I will pick whichever one you like." Master Liu said attentively.
"This is a lifelong event, I have to choose carefully."
Bai Mian pretended to walk around the tree and looked hesitant. After she had been acting for fifteen minutes, Master Liu finally lost his patience and said to Bai Mian:
"Madam, you choose first. I'll go back to the tea room to smoke a cigarette. Just tell me when you've made your choice."
Bai Mian smiled and nodded in agreement. The moment Master Liu turned around, she opened her third eye and looked at Master Liu's back. His back was no different from that of an ordinary person. It seemed that he did not have any magical powers and was just a mortal who used evil magic to make money.
Then Bai Mian walked to the tree and looked up. He saw countless ghosts of dead babies hanging densely between the huge tree canopy.
