Chapter 031 Jinjiang Debut
These babies were either sick or disabled, with horrible faces. Their necks were hung by a thin thread, floating on the trees, making creepy cries.
Although the scene before her was horrifying, Bai Mian was surprisingly calm inside. She felt the inner energy surging in her body, as if she had faced this kind of scene thousands of times before.
"Lingdi, come out." Baimian summoned the system.
The system's voice sounded in the air: "Host, due to the difficulty of this mission, this system will temporarily awaken your magic weapon - the Soul-Slaying Sword."
As soon as the system finished speaking, a turquoise long sword appeared in Bai Mian's hand. The sword was thin and slender, shaped like a willow leaf, and the blade was flashing with cold light. The entire sword climbed up Bai Mian's left arm like a green snake, and it was obvious that it was extremely dependent on her.
Bai Mian held a sword in her hand, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, she jumped high, slashed at the treetops with her sword, and a sword flower danced in the air. After one sword, the thin threads tied around the babies' necks were cut off one after another. Freed from the thin threads that had been binding them, the babies' crying subsided.
The bodies of these liberated babies gradually became transparent, and their souls became lighter and lighter, rising into the sky, and finally they were able to reincarnate and start their next life.
After breaking the evil thread on the fertility tree, the system took back the Soul-Slaying Sword in Bai Mian's hand. Bai Mian looked back at the tea room. He hadn't made a choice for such a long time, and Master Liu might become suspicious. Before he became suspicious, Bai Mian nimbly climbed over the wall and escaped from the backyard, and found a safe place to call the police.
The police arrived soon. Master Liu was not panicked at all when facing the police. He smiled and said to Bai Mian: "Madam, the transaction is entirely voluntary. I didn't force you to buy or sell. Why did you call the police? If you don't want to trade, I can just return the money to you!"
Bai Mian didn't waste time talking to him and took the police directly to the backyard of the temple. Based on the clues provided by Bai Mian, the police dug up the fertility tree in the backyard. As they dug, a foul smell came out of the soil. The deeper the police dug, the stronger the stench became. When the police reached the roots of the tree, they actually found white bones next to the roots.
The police immediately dispersed irrelevant personnel, cordoned off the scene, and began to dig vigorously. In the end, the police found hundreds of skeletons under the tree. These skeletons were extremely small and were all the skeletons of premature babies.
The police arrested Master Liu and interrogated him. Facing the police interrogation, Master Liu quickly confessed everything.
His real name is Liu Ping'an. He was originally a local businessman. Around 2015, he met a Taoist priest named Taixuan Zhenren, who claimed to be a Taoist master who was well versed in magic and could achieve things that ordinary people could not by just reciting a mantra.
Since Liu Ping'an lived near Mount Bodhi, he knew that there were many climbers here and the flow of people was large, so he came up with the idea of buying and selling Yin fetuses. He sold his then property and spent a large sum of money to ask Taixuan Zhenren to set up an evil formation on the mountain. He then spent money to build a temple on the mountain and transplanted the fertility tree into the evil formation, trapping all the ghosts of the fetuses on the tree.
In order to get a few years less in sentence, Liu Ping'an gave out all the clues he knew. He told the police about his channels for purchasing fetuses. According to him, he had buried more than 500 fetuses under the fertility trees over the years, but most of them were too young and rotted in the soil, leaving no bones.
The police continued their investigation along this channel and found many hospital staff members. They arrested them all and directly dismantled this black industry chain.
However, Liu Ping'an could not provide any clues about the key figure who helped him set up the evil formation - Taoist Taixuan. He said that the two of them had no contact since those years, and Taoist Taixuan was a wandering cultivator, and no one knew where he was now.
The police counted Liu Ping'an's property and found that he had made a total profit of more than 79 million yuan by buying and selling ghost fetuses. After the investigation is completed, the police will return all the money to the deceived victims.
After a series of investigations, the police finally determined that Liu Ping'an was guilty of illegal business operation and would be handed over to the court for trial next.
After cooperating with the police investigation, Bai Mian walked out of the police station at one o'clock in the morning. She hurriedly booked a flight back to Qingshui Town. Although the matter was over and the Songzi Temple on Bodhi Mountain had been sealed off, there was still one thing in Bai Mian's mind that had not been resolved, and that was the whereabouts of Taixuan Zhenren.
The police have tried every possible means but still have not found any clues about Master Taixuan, and Bai Mian has no chance to check Liu Ping'an's pulse. This evil old Taoist seems to have become a mystery.
But Bai Mian was not discouraged. She pinched her palms and made a secret decision.
As long as he continues to do evil in the world, I will always have the opportunity to fight him again. Next time we meet, I will never let him escape!
The return flight still took nine hours. As soon as Bai Mian sat on the plane, the voice of the system rang in his ears.
"Report to the host, you have gained twenty points of good karma today, and the current good karma value is: 120."
Twenty o'clock? Bai Mian was stunned for a moment, then he understood. Perhaps the system divided helping Li Mo and his wife and breaking the evil spell into two tasks, and gave ten points of good karma for each task.
Bai Mian slept soundly on the plane again. When she returned to Ci Xin Tang, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning. Li Mo and Shi Xingye came to greet her excitedly. Without Bai Mian saying anything, they had already known the result from the notice issued by the Bodhi Mountain Police.
"Master, I received the refund," Li Mo happily shook his phone, "The 150,000 we spent initially, plus the 150,000 you spent on our investigation yesterday, a total of 300,000, all returned to my account!"
"This old liar has deceived my wife and me for so long!" Shi Xingye said indignantly, "We thought we had our own child, but now... Hey, we are so happy for nothing!"
As he spoke, he bowed his head and advised his wife: "Wife, the police have arrested the man surnamed Liu, which means that Master Bai's calculations are all correct. We can't keep this child. Let's just abort it."
Li Mo held her belly, looking reluctant: "Okay, why are you so anxious? I've already told you to wait until the pregnancy test results come out. Won't the pregnancy test results come out tomorrow?"
"Well then," Shi Xingye sighed and bowed respectfully to Bai Mian, "Thank you, Master Bai, for helping my husband and I get back the money we were defrauded of. As for the matter of the child, we'll think about it again. Once we've made a decision, we'll come back and tell you!"
After seeing the couple off, Bai Mian sat back in front of the pulse diagnosis table. Que Ge was leisurely watching a short video beside him. He didn't know what he was watching, but his eyes suddenly stopped moving, as if they were glued to the screen.
Bai Mian leaned over to take a look curiously. It was a short video about finding relatives. It had more than 6 million likes and was ranked first on the Shining APP's hot list.
Lame Brother raised the volume so that Bai Mian who was standing next to him could also hear it.
"At 9 o'clock this morning, Mr. Lin, the founder of the national snack 'Little Greedy Cat' spicy strips, announced that he was critically ill. According to his assistant, Mr. Lin's last wish was to find his son who disappeared many years ago and to hand over the group to his son. We hereby appeal to the general public to actively provide clues to help Mr. Lin realize his last wish!"
Lame Brother was ecstatic: "Tell me, could this missing son of Mr. Lin be me? Oh, God, you finally opened your eyes, my chance is coming!"
Gao Jin nagged him: "Even if you love money, you can't say such things. You were not kidnapped. You were born and raised in Qingshui Town. Your family is so happy. Your mother carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. If you say such things, your parents will be so sad to hear them."
"Okay, got it. I was just joking. If you can't get rich in real life, why can't you dream of getting rich?" Lame Brother pouted aggrievedly and quickly changed the subject. He asked Bai Mian, "Little God of Wealth, are you still telling fortunes today? Because you were not here, I didn't draw a number this morning, and most of the people in the queue have left."
Bai Mian looked outside and saw the remaining fans waiting eagerly for her to speak. Thinking of how these people had waited so hard for a long time, Bai Mian couldn't bear to let them down, so she said, "Of course it counts."
After receiving the order, Brother Lame hurried to the lottery machine and started it. The machine shook out three small balls. As usual, Brother Lame called out the numbers of the small balls and asked the three benefactors to stay. Everyone else left.
The first customer today was a mother with a permed hair. As soon as she entered the store, before she even walked up to Bai Mian, she started yelling impatiently:
"Master, please help me calculate, will our child become a child star in the future?"
Before he finished speaking, a little boy with a sullen face walked in behind his mother. When everyone saw the boy's appearance, they burst into laughter.
