Chapter 031 Jinjiang First Launch

These babies were either sick or disabled, with horrible faces. They were hung by a thin wire, floating on the trees, making creepy cries.

Although the scene before her was terrifying, Bai Mian was surprisingly calm. She felt the inner energy surge in her body, as if she had faced this kind of scene thousands of times.

"Ling Di, come out." Bai Mian summoned the system.

The system's voice rang out in the air: "Host, due to the difficulty of this mission, this system will temporarily awaken your magic weapon - the Soul-Severing 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 flashed with cold light. The entire sword climbed up Bai Mian's left arm like a green snake, obviously relying on her very much.

Bai Mian held the sword in her hand, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, she jumped high, swung the sword at the treetops, and a sword flower danced in the air. After one sword, the thin threads tied to the babies' necks were cut one after another, and freed from the thin thread that had been binding them, the babies' crying calmed down.

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 destroying the evil thread on the fertility tree, the system took back the Soul-Severing Sword from Bai Mian's hand. Bai Mian looked back at the tea room. He had not 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 did not 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 directly took the police to the backyard of the temple. According to 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 dug to the roots of the tree, they unexpectedly found white bones next to the roots.

The police immediately dispersed all 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 usually 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, spent a large amount of money to ask Taixuan Zhenren to set up an evil formation on the mountain, and then spent money to build a temple on the mountain. He transplanted the fertility tree into the evil formation, trapping all the ghosts of the fetuses on the tree.

In order to get a fewer year 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 - Master Taixuan. He said that the two of them had no contact since those years, and Master 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 in the morning. She hurriedly booked a ticket 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 that Bai Mian had not resolved in her heart, and that was the whereabouts of Taixuan Zhenren.

The police have tried every possible means but still failed to find any clues about Master Taixuan. Bai Mian also had no chance to check on Liu Pingan. This evil old Taoist seemed to have become a mystery.

But Bai Mian did not lose heart. She pinched her palms and made up her mind secretly.

As long as he is still doing evil in the world, I will always have the chance to fight him again. Next time I meet him, I will never let him escape!

The return flight still took nine hours. As soon as Bai Mian sat on the plane, the sound of the system rang in his ears.

"Reporting to the host, you have gained twenty points of good karma today. The current good karma value is: 120."

Twenty points? Bai Mian was stunned for a moment, then he understood that the system probably 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 with excitement. Bai Mian didn't need to say anything, as they had already known the result from the notice issued by the Bodhi Mountain Police.

"Master, I received the refund," Li Mo shook his phone happily, "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 husband and me for so long!" Shi Xingye said angrily, "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 Liu and told him that the master's calculations were 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 will think about it again. When we make a decision, we will come back and tell you!"

After seeing the couple off, Bai Mian sat back in front of the diagnosis desk. Que Ge was leisurely scrolling through short videos 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 curiously leaned over to take a look. It was a short video about finding relatives. It had more than six million likes and was ranked first on the hot list of the Shanguang APP.

Lame Brother raised his voice 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 Tanmao' spicy strips, announced that he was critically ill. According to his assistant, Mr. Lin's last wish was to find his son who had disappeared many years ago and to hand over the group to his son. We hereby appeal to the general public to 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. How sad it would be for your parents to hear you say such things."

"Okay, got it. I was just joking. If you can't make money 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 had 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, Lame Brother hurried to the lottery machine and started it. The machine shook out three small balls. As usual, Lame Brother called out the numbers of the small balls and asked the three masters to stay. Everyone else dispersed.

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 she finished her words, a little boy with a sullen face walked in behind his mother. When everyone saw the boy's appearance, they burst into laughter.
