Mai Xiaorou and I were waiting in the wreath shop. After about ten minutes, Li Guidao came back from the second floor.
Li Guidao was smiling, as if something good had happened.
In my heart, I was expecting Li Guidao to say that the Five Ghost Saints wanted to see us, but Li Guidao continued to talk about the case as soon as he opened his mouth: "Let's continue the story just now!"
He didn't mention anything about what his master asked him to do, which made me even more curious.
But I didn't feel comfortable asking, so I nodded and said "ok".
Li Guidao continued: "The thing is like this, the person who carved the Buddha statue is called Meng Yiqiu (hao). There is a nunnery at the southern end of Taihang Mountain called Jingxuan nunnery. Meng Yiqiu is a lay disciple in that Jingxuan nunnery.
, Jingxuan Temple is next to a small town. There are three villages in the north of the town, called Jingjiao, Hejiao and Chijiao. People also call those three villages the land of three Jiao. Mengyi is Jingjiao.
People in the village, her parents are both blind and make a living by walking around the streets, singing and begging."
"When Meng Yixi was eleven years old, both of his parents died. Meng Yixi was brought back to the nunnery to be raised by a master of Jing'an Temple. However, the master was unwilling to let Meng Yixi truly become a monk.
It is said that he has an unfinished relationship with the world."
"Meng Yixi practiced Buddhism quietly in Jing'an nunnery, and learned a lot of medical skills from the master who took her back to the nunnery. Since she was sixteen years old, she often went down the mountain with her master to provide free diagnosis and treatment to nearby villagers.
disease."
"When Meng Yifu was seventeen years old, the master's wife passed away. Before her death, the master's wife told the people in the Jingnan nunnery that no one was allowed to admit Meng Yiqi into the nunnery until he was thirty-five years old.
"
"Meng Yixi started to go down the mountain to practice medicine independently at the age of seventeen. When she was eighteen years old, Meng Yixi returned to Jingjiao Village to offer incense to her parents, but she heard that people in the village seemed to have a kind of infertility.
The whole village has not had any children for three consecutive years, and the people in the village are very worried. They are looking for doctors and medicines everywhere, burning incense and worshiping Buddha, but they can't conceive."
"After making inquiries, Meng Yiqian found out that the same is true not only in Jingjiao Village, but also in Hejiao Village and Chijiao Village. Among them, Chijiao Village is the most serious. There has been no increase in the number of children in five years."
"Meng Yiyi diagnosed the villagers in Sanjiao Village separately, and found that these people did not have infertility. The people in these three villages were unable to have children. It was caused by other reasons."
"After some investigation, Meng Yiqian discovered that there were three evil dragons hidden near Sanjiao Village. They specialized in devouring the souls of people who came to be reincarnated. In the past few years, all the souls who came to Sanjiao Village to be reincarnated were killed by them.
After eating it, without the reincarnated soul, Sanjiao Village will naturally be unable to have more children."
"After figuring out these things, Meng Yixi went into the mountain to look for three evil dragons. That day there was lightning and thunder, and Meng Yixi did not come out again after entering the mountain. But from that day on, the people of Sanjiao Village
Pregnancies began to appear one after another, and new lives began to be born in the three villages, but Meng Yiqi never came back."
"Later, there was a legend in Sanjiao Village that Meng Yi went into the mountains and eradicated three evil dragons to prevent the souls of those who came to be reincarnated from being eaten. However, she herself died of exhaustion in the mountains."
"In order to commemorate Meng Yixi, the people of Sanjiao Village built the Yixi Temple, also known as the Son-in-Chief Temple, on a hill behind Sanjiao Village. It is said that if any family in the future cannot conceive a child, they can go there to give birth to a child sincerely.
If you burn incense and pray in the temple, you will be able to have children. Later, word spread about this, and a wealthy official came here to pray for blessings. Later, he got a son. In order to express his gratitude to Yixi, the official asked someone to help him.
He carved a statue of the God of Yichang and enshrined it in his home. The statue is also called the Buddha of Songzi, or the Queen of Songzi."
At this point, Li Guidao paused and said, "This is the origin of the Buddha who sent the child away."
I asked out of curiosity: "So what's going on with this case? Is there something wrong with the Buddha?"
Li Guidao nodded and said, "Yes, that official family later fell into decline, and the person in charge of the family sold the Child-Giving Buddha."
"You would never have guessed that the person who sells the Buddha is the child that the official's family begged for from the Yip Temple."
"Without the Buddha, the family will no longer be able to continue their incense. After a few decades, the family will be completely gone."
"On the contrary, the family of the person who bought that Buddha statue is prospering and their life is getting richer and richer. The Buddha that is given away has become a family heirloom. However, in the past two years, there have been some problems with the family heirloom.
Three long snake-like cracks appeared on the Buddha's back. The female relatives of their large family who had been pregnant in the past two years had not been able to survive successfully. They either had miscarriages or gave birth to stillbirths."
"That family went to see an expert and said there was something wrong with the Buddha. But they couldn't sell the Buddha because after selling it, they were afraid of making the same mistake as the official family a hundred years ago, so they sold it.
We can only look for people everywhere to help deal with this matter. Unfortunately, they have not found a real expert in the past two years, and this matter has not been solved. Recently, this case has come into our hands, so my master is thinking about handing it over.
Let you two go out."
I curiously asked Li Guidao: "Didn't you just say that this case is urgent and that Mai Xiaorou and I must rush there before the day after tomorrow? Is there any secret behind it?"
Li Guidao nodded and said: "Not long ago, another female family member in that family was pregnant, but recently the fetal air was unstable and she was in the hospital for fetal protection. This matter cannot be solved by just fetal protection. Can we save the baby?"
The life of the fetus needs to be investigated as soon as possible and the problem of sending the child to Buddha can be solved."
"So, this is a life-saving matter, so naturally you need to get there quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Mai Xiaorou said, "Give us the address. We'll rush there overnight. Since it's an urgent matter, we can't delay."
I also nodded.
Li Guidao sent us the address, the phone number and name of the family.
Then Li Guidao told us: "I'm afraid the implementation of this case will delay you for some time. You'd better be patient and investigate the whole story clearly. If you can find out everything, then McDonnell Douglas
Those lonely ghosts in the Friends Weaving Soul Network can also find opportunities to send them away."
At this point, Li Guidao suddenly stopped and said, "Okay, I can't tell you too much, so I'll just stop here and get ready to hit the road."
When Mai Xiaorou and I left, I asked Li Guidao: "Is the person on the second floor the Five Ghosts Saint?"
Li Guidao said, yes.
I asked Li Guidao if I could go and see him.
Li Guidao shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today. Master just told me something and then left. Wait until later. If you are destined to enter the Hundred Stars List, you can participate in the competition for the Ten Supernatural Masters in three years.
, you may have the opportunity to meet my master by then."
These Five Ghost Saints are really mysterious.
After leaving the wreath shop, Mai Xiaorou and I drove south.
The place we want to go is Handan, the ancient capital, which is only a little over two hours’ drive away.
It was already late at night when we arrived in Handan, but we still called the person we were looking for. That person's name was Ma Chaoxian, who was the boss of a large family business and the leader of that large family.
I called three times before the other party answered. He asked me who I was and why I was calling so late at night. His tone was very bad.
I identified myself on the phone and said, "I'm in Handan now. Can we go to the hospital directly to see the patient who needs fetal protection?"
Ma Chaoxian immediately said: "It's too late today, the patient may have fallen asleep now..."
As soon as he said this, I heard a loud noise next to him, and then I heard Ma Chaoxian say: "You can come here, I am in the hospital now, please hurry up..."
Then Ma Chaoxian sent us the address of the hospital and hung up the phone in a hurry. There must be something wrong with the hospital.
According to the information given to us by Li Guidao, the person in the hospital is Ma Chaoxian's wife, who is also his first child.
Ma Chaoxian's information shows that he is only 26 years old. He can become the helmsman of a family business at such a young age, which shows that he is not a simple person.
Soon Mai Xiaorou and I found the hospital according to the address sent by Ma Chaoxian.
When I got to the third floor, I found the ward of Ma Chaoxian's wife.
This is a single room. There are three or four people standing outside, all in their thirties or forties. It seems that Ma Chaoxian is not here.
After walking over, I asked Ma Chaoxian if he was there.
Those people asked me who Mai Xiaorou and I were, probably because I called Ma Chaoxian by our first name, and they looked at us in particular surprise.
I looked awkward at them, so I added: "My name is Chen Yu, and I'm here to see Ma Chaoxian, Mr. Ma."
When I said this, the door of the ward opened, and a young man came out and looked at me and said: "You guys are coming in, keep your voice down, she has just been infused with fluids and went to sleep."
Mai Xiaorou and I nodded and entered the ward. Ma Chaoxian said to a few people outside the door: "Cousins, you should also go back and rest!"
One of them also said to Ma Chaoxian: "Then you should have some rest at night. There will be a meeting tomorrow. Don't delay. You have missed the meeting several times. If this continues, the people below should have opinions. You
You also know that many elders in the family will not be convinced if you sit in that position..."
Before the man finished speaking, Ma Chaoxian said: "I know, I will rush there tomorrow."
After all those people left, Ma Chaoxian returned to the ward and closed the door.
At this time, Mai Xiaorou and I had been looking at the patient lying on the bed for a while. The woman was very beautiful, but her face was very pale. One look at her showed that she had been tortured a lot these days.
The most important thing is that as soon as I entered this ward, my Snake King Pendant started to react, and it conveyed to me the emotion of wanting to eat!
What is going on? Is there anything it wants to eat in this ward? (To be continued)
