Chapter 10: Breaking the curse, the life you borrowed must be returned
The tampering happened a year ago, which should be the result of something going wrong when the third generation Meng Po was taking over from her.
After all, it is impossible for the Book of Life and Death to be tampered with by anyone under the custody of Meng Po for generations. It seems that there is a traitor in her department.
If the boss below knew about this, he would definitely be blamed for the mistake.
Meng Fuling raised her eyes and said, "You have indeed been borrowed from someone. I'm sorry I can't tell you how much life has been borrowed."
"But I can help you get it back!" As a manager, I also have responsibilities.
"To get my life back?" Qin Muchen found it hard to imagine that this was true, but looking at her serious and clear eyes, it was hard not to believe it.
"Do you know who took my life?" He still had some doubts about borrowing life.
Meng Fuling glanced at the people around her: "It should be someone around you!"
"This evil technique requires the blood of the person whose life you want to borrow to form a bond. It's best to have someone close to you do it."
"Is there anyone around you who was in poor health and then suddenly recovered?"
"It's usually someone who is sick or dying. Otherwise, they wouldn't do something so detrimental to their life span to borrow a life."
Hearing this, Xiao Nan, the elder sister-in-law standing behind, became visibly flustered and retorted angrily.
"Where did you come from? What nonsense are you talking about? Borrowing my life is a lie."
"Third brother, we went to the Changsheng Temple to invite Taoist Xuan Yi for your health. He is a man of high moral character and prestige."
"We are also helping you prepare this funeral. Don't believe a stranger's lies."
Xiao Nan began to urge them to leave quickly: "Master Xuan Yi said that as long as we bury this paper figurine, the illness will be cured. If we delay, it will be too late."
The sister-in-law kept urging him, but there was a fleeting flash of panic and guilt in her eyes.
Qin Muchen developed a strange disease a year ago and his health deteriorated day by day. Later, it was his sister-in-law who actively found this Taoist priest.
So he still trusted her words, but now he was a little hesitant.
"We'll know whether it's true or not right away!"
But now time is running out and his life is about to end. Meng Fuling stretched out two fingers and gently placed them on Qin Muchen's forehead.
She chanted confidently, "Nature and nature, the foul air disperses, obey my command, the spirit returns to its place, break!"
In an instant, he felt as if his internal organs were about to be burned, and his soul was awakening deep in his body.
Soon a golden light flashed, and a blue line appeared on Qin Muchen's forehead.
Everyone could clearly see that the line was heading backwards and slowly extending.
"The person the lifeline is connected to is the culprit who took away your life."
Qin Muchen looked in the direction of the blue lifeline in astonishment, and soon the line connected to another person.
Looking carefully, he saw that the person connected to the line was none other than his good nephew Qin Qiye.
That’s right, the person who stole his 70 years of life was Qin Qiye.
Qin Qiye looked at the blue wire connected to his chest, and his face turned pale in shock.
This line is like a life-threatening line that sucks away people's luck and lifespan, continuously sucking away Qin Muchen's life force, and the situation is surging and shocking.
Everyone was shocked: "Look, it's the young master?"
"I never thought it was him! It was the young master who stole the Third Master's life!"
"No, it's not me!" Qin Qiye shouted excitedly with a flushed face, beating his chest like crazy.
He tried to tear him off his body like crazy, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.
"You, what did you do to my son?" Xiao Nan hugged his son excitedly and shouted hysterically.
"You are using witchcraft. You monster will not harm my son."
Qin Muchen's pupils trembled in shock, and he opened his scarlet eyes wide as if he had thought of something.
"Ahem!" Qin Muchen clenched his fists. "I remember Qi Ye was born with a heart disease, and the doctor predicted he wouldn't live past sixteen."
"He suddenly recovered from his heart attack last year. My eldest brother said they found a heart for a transplant."
"That's when I suddenly started to have health problems. I saw famous doctors all over the world but they couldn't find the cause."
"What about the coffin and paper figurines at the funeral? So this was all a scam from the beginning?"
Qin Qiye did not have a heart transplant at all. Instead, Xiao Nan secretly found the black-hearted old Taoist priest and used evil magic to borrow Qin Muchen's life for the sake of his son.
Now the mother and son calculated the time so that he would die today. They stayed by his side, waiting to see him breathe his last on the spot before they could feel at ease.
The struggles among wealthy families are inherently bloody and gloomy. Not only can one save one's own son while the person who dies is one's competitor, but one can also save one's own son.
What's more, Qin Muchen has the purple gold fate of an emperor who is destined to live a hundred years, so there is no better choice than this.
But today was originally the day of his death, who could have expected that Meng Fuling would suddenly appear.
It seems that the so-called Taoist priest deliberately colluded with them. As expected, they are the culprits who took away Qin Muchen's life.
Meng Fuling waved her hand, and the blue lifeline snapped instantly: "If you owe money, pay it back. If you owe a life, pay it back!"
Qin Muchen stumbled, and Ah Cheng quickly came up to support him: "Third Master, how are you?"
It was as if a heavy shackle had disappeared from his body. He took a deep breath and finally came to his senses, feeling his body instantly relaxed.
Meng Fuling said calmly, "Don't worry, the life-borrowing contract has been broken, and your life span is returning day by day."
But after the contract is broken, some people can live while others will die.
"Three, two, one..." She counted down softly, as if it was a life-threatening countdown.
"Ah!" As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Qiye next to her suddenly fell to the ground with his face ashen, holding his chest.
His body was twitching and his face looked as if he was about to suffocate. The terrified expression on his face became hideous.
"Mom, Mom!" Qin Qiye grabbed Xiao Nan's collar tightly: "I, I don't want to die!"
He was bleeding from all seven orifices, with blood flowing out of his eyes and nostrils.
His scarlet eyes were filled with fear and despair, and the approach of death made his face horrible.
"Qi Ye!" Xiao Nan cried and roared hysterically.
After a struggle, Qin Muchen watched with his own eyes as Qin Qiye struggled and slowly died.
The pair of protruding eyes stared at Qin Muchen, their eyes wide open and wide as if they would never close.
"Son, son!" Xiao Nan completely collapsed as he looked at his dead son in his arms.
She broke down holding the corpse: "You, you won't die, don't be afraid, Mom will go find someone else to lend you your life."
"My son has had a bad heart since birth. How come you can live so long while he can only live to the age of sixteen?"
She suddenly rushed over like crazy and grabbed Qin Muchen's legs tightly: "Qin Muchen, give my son's life back. Your life span belongs to my son!"
"Why don't you just die? It should be you who should die!"
Qin Muchen bit his back teeth, swallowed the blood in his mouth, and kicked her away: "Shameless robber!"
Ah Cheng stepped forward and dragged Xiao Nan away from him: "I can't believe you guys teamed up to murder the Third Master."
The so-called family affection turned out to be nothing but calculation. Meng Fuling shook her head as she watched the scene.
It was already destined that the coffin for the funeral was not prepared incorrectly, it was just that the person using it was changed.
"The fate has already been determined in the Book of Life and Death. Qin Qiye shouldn't have died so early."
"It was only because his parents committed so many evil deeds and passed all their sins onto their son that he could only live to the age of sixteen."
"Life and death are determined by fate and cannot be defied. Otherwise, there will be repercussions. Borrowed life must be returned."
