Chapter 030 Jinjiang First Launch

Li Mo was puzzled by the question: "Master, what do you mean by that? How else can a child be born? Of course, it must be conceived by my husband and me. Does that mean...does the process of making a baby also need to be revealed in the live broadcast room?"

Bai Mian: "You are the one carrying 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 surrogacy?"

Li Mo immediately denied it: "It's impossible. If this happened during assisted reproduction, it might be the hospital's fault. But we conceived 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 questions. 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 carried by her own! Why do you make it sound like they are human traffickers? If a child that has already been born can be kidnapped, can a child in the belly also be kidnapped?"

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 nudged her husband and whispered, "Honey, could the master be talking about our experience on the mountain?"

Shi Xingye also suddenly realized: "So it's this matter, but...but Master Liu said that this matter cannot be spread outside!"

Li Mo sighed: "You can't hide anything from the master. Master Bai has already figured it out. What difference does it make whether you tell him or not? In my opinion, just tell him."

After the couple discussed it, Li Mo spoke:

"Master, we got married three years ago and have lived happily ever after. Although I have never gotten pregnant, neither of us thinks it is a problem. As long as fate allows, we will have children naturally."

"But at the beginning of this year, we both went for a full-body checkup, 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 in this situation, we can only consider artificial insemination. I checked online and found that artificial insemination is very harmful to the woman. She needs to take a lot of injections and medicines. 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 insemination. In the end, we had no other choice, so we started to rely on metaphysics. We asked around and found out that there was a temple on Mount Bodhi that was very effective. 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 climbed to the top with great effort. 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 also picked one."

"After picking the fruits, we respectfully went to worship Guanyin, the goddess of childbearing, 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 that we had a good impression of each other, so he 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? Afterwards, I thought 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 large green pear, pressed using a special mold. Bringing this fruit back home would only bring good luck, but it would not actually have any effect."

Li Mo lowered his voice and said, "Then he told us mysteriously that if we really wanted a child, he had a method 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 huge tree in the backyard of the temple. It has many human-shaped fruits on it. 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 having 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 could afford the 150,000 yuan price. With the mentality of giving it a try, we paid the money. Master Liu asked me to pick a fruit from the tree. I walked around the tree and picked the tenderest one. He then asked us to go back to the teahouse and wait for a while while he helped me pick the fruit."

"We waited for a long time in the teahouse before Master Liu came back. When he came back, he was holding a small exquisite plate with the fruit I chose on it. The fruit was very tall, and I don't know how he managed to get it there."

"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 gasped 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 either, but 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 hurriedly helped his wife and said, "Hey, what kind of fruit are you selling? Look, it's not fresh at all. How dare you give people something that's gone bad!"

Master Liu smiled strangely: "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 it, 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 Moqiang 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, at that time we were obsessed with having children. Actually, when we calm down and think about it, we were also very 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 menstrual period 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: "My wife is now four months pregnant. We just went for a pregnancy test yesterday, but the result is not out yet. We happened to see Master Bai's live broadcast room on our mobile phones, so we wanted to show the future to the child. As a result, Master Bai opened his mouth and scared me to death. The master was right. This child was obtained by us using special methods. But no matter how it came, the child is ours, isn't it enough?"

Bai Mian raised his eyes: "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 carrying 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 turned cold. She asked in disbelief, "Dead a long time ago... What does that mean? Master, please explain it 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 sold by a nurse in the hospital in violation of regulations. The stillborn fetus changed hands several times before it ended up in the hands of the Master Liu you mentioned."

"Master Liu used sorcery 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 were all dead and sick fetuses that he collected from everywhere. You chose Chaoxiong, so he came into your belly. However, even if you chose someone else, it wouldn'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?"

"Yes," Bai Mian nodded.

Li Mo bent down and let out a "wow".

Lame brother shouted distressedly: "Don't vomit, don't vomit, please, aunt, 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. When they are born again with resentment, they 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 exclaimed in amazement: "No wonder you questioned them like human traffickers at first. It turns out that fetuses in people's bellies can also be trafficked. It's really strange!"

Shi Xingye hugged Li Mo and said, "Wife, did you hear me? The master said this child is a ghost fetus, and it won't 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 hands, and said softly: "After all, I worked so hard to get this child, I can't bear to abort it like this. 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 when we see it."

At this point, Li Mo seemed to still hold out a glimmer of hope. She asked Bai Mian, "The Master Liu who gave us the child is also a master of metaphysics, and he also worships Guanyin. How could he use evil magic?"

Bai Mian hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't know his background just by taking 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're going on a business trip? This is your first time to go on a field investigation for a case. If you leave, I'll be the only one left in the store. 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." 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 go on a field investigation for our case. I feel much more at ease with you."

"Then what about my round-trip fare and possible expenses..." Bai Mian mentioned the money.

Shi Xingye nodded repeatedly: "We'll pay for it. We'll take care of it all! Master, you don't have to worry about the money. Just focus on the investigation!"

"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 saying a word. 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 up like a model on the catwalk. Not only did he dress her in a black tasseled 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 the 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 Temple of Birth 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, and Master Liu really noticed her. He took the initiative to walk up to Bai Mian and chat with her, using the same words.

"Madam, you look very noble. Why are you 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. "Alas, I wanted him to come with me. Unfortunately, that dead guy was unlucky. Last month, he was in a car accident and died, leaving me with a lot of cold 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 glittering sapphire ring on his ring finger. 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 method that guarantees pregnancy, even without a husband. However, I have to charge a little money. I believe this little money is nothing to you. If you are interested, let's talk for a while."

Master Liu led Bai Mian to the tea room. After he boasted to him, 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 was received, Master Liu took Bai Mian to the backyard of the temple, where Bai Mian saw the legendary "fertility tree". The tree was exactly as Li Mo had described, with a huge crown and many baby-like fruits on its branches. However, as soon as Bai Mian saw the tree, he immediately felt an evil spirit coming towards him.

"Madam, please look, all the 'fertility fruits' are 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, looking hesitant. After she had been acting for fifteen minutes, Master Liu finally lost his patience and said to Bai Mian:

"Madam, please choose first. I'll go back to the tea room to smoke a cigarette. When you've made your choice, just tell me."

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. He was just a mortal who used sorcery to make money.

Then Bai Mian walked to the foot of the tree and looked up. He saw that between the huge tree crowns, there were countless ghosts of dead babies hanging densely.
