Chapter 177: The Mysterious Witch Appears
boom!
The moment the words fell, Lin Ye took action.
He suddenly flipped his palm and slapped it towards Monk Huiwen's head.
However, when Monk Huiwen swung his monk robe sleeves, a black mist spurted out, colliding with Lin Ye's palm with a loud bang. By the time the black mist dissipated, Monk Huiwen's figure had already disappeared from the hall.
"Advisor Lin, are you okay?"
Li Chengbo looked at Lin Ye first, while holding a handful of copper coins in his hand, his eyes scanned the surroundings of the hall. As for Xiao Ke, needless to say, he had already pulled out a gun from his waist.
"gun!"
Seeing the gun in Xiao Ke's hand, the couple was shocked, and the woman turned pale. Seeing this, Lin Ye sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, you two. We are from the Public Security Bureau and we are here to investigate the case. I don't need to tell you what you did."
After hearing what Lin Ye said, the woman suddenly fell to the ground. The man hurriedly tried to pull her husband away, but the woman simply knocked her husband’s hand away, crying, “I told you long ago that you can’t hit me… you can’t hit me. This is a sin, but you didn’t listen. I’ve been heartbroken for the past year.”
"Advisor Li, what's going on with these two people?" Xiao Ke looked at the crying woman and asked Li Chengbo in a low voice.
"What else could it be? The baby in her belly was aborted."
"Abortion?" Xiao Ke muttered, "Abortion doesn't seem to be illegal."
"It's not illegal but it's a sin. Just to have a son, they were willing to abort a six-month-old fetus that was already formed."
Lin Ye looked at Monk Huiwen coldly. He was on the Ferris wheel at that time and felt the evil spirit. Standing high in the sky, looking at the Zimao Mountain and the Haihua Temple, he saw the resentment of countless babies rising to the sky.
This resentment has already condensed into evil spirit.
Resentment belongs to individuals. For example, dead ghosts will have resentment, and people also have resentment, but it cannot form into evil spirits. Only when thousands of resentments flow through heaven and earth and do not dissipate for a long time can they form evil spirits.
Once it becomes an evil, it means that the resentment comes from more than one or two people, conservatively more than a hundred people. This is why Li Chengbo was shocked earlier.
Hundreds of people were killed, and that was his dereliction of duty.
But the situation isn't much better now.
It takes only six months for a fetus to become resentful, because at six months old, the fetus already has self-awareness.
"We also know that abortion is not good, but we heard that the abbot of Haihua Temple will perform a ritual to help the child to be reborn in the Pure Land. That's why we decided to come here to have an abortion. After the abortion, the abbot will bury the fetus for us and perform rituals."
Under Xiao Ke's questioning, the middle-aged man told everything, and the whole truth made everyone present grit their teeth.
The Boy from Paradise meal.
This is the package that Monk Huiwen offered to the common people. The price ranges from three thousand to thirty thousand yuan, and it can help to liberate the souls of aborted fetuses.
Originally, helping aborted fetuses to be reborn was a good deed, and charging some money was not a big deal. However, Monk Huiwen turned it into a business, telling the people that after his help, the fetuses would be reborn in paradise or reincarnate into a good family.
Monk Huiwen's words made the couple, who were originally hesitant about whether to have an abortion, finally choose to have an abortion.
These couples originally wanted a son, but when they found out they were pregnant with a daughter, they wanted to abort the baby. However, they couldn't get over it. After all, people are all made of flesh and blood, especially women. How could they bear to abort the flesh and blood in their bellies so easily?
However, Monk Huiwen gave these couples a reason to comfort themselves. If the child was aborted, the child could be reincarnated into a better family or go to paradise. This relieved them of the psychological pressure, so they all chose to have an abortion and later erected a tablet for the fetus to go to paradise.
If the aborted fetus is sent to the temple and Monk Huiwen helps to liberate the soul, it will be a boundless merit.
However, Monk Huiwen verbally encouraged these couples to abort the fetuses, which was a sin.
"Advisor Lin, hey...in the southern coastal areas, people place a high value on male offspring. In the early years, our area was a disaster area for the buying and selling of male babies."
Li Chengbo did not avoid Lin Ye. Local families all had to have a son, so many who could not have children had to buy one. This had a chain reaction. If one family bought a son, it would lead other families without sons, and eventually the whole village would be affected.
This is true for the buying and selling of babies, and the same is true for abortion.
"Advisor Li, I'll leave this to you." Lin Ye glanced at the couple and then looked away. The couple thought that Monk Huiwen had performed a ritual to help their fetus to be reborn, but they had no idea that Monk Huiwen had not performed any ritual at all.
"good."
Li Chengbo nodded, and Lin Ye's figure was already walking towards the temple, and finally came to a well in the backyard of the temple.
The well was deep, but strangely there was no water in it. Lin Ye jumped down.
call out!
Just as Lin Ye jumped down the well and landed on the ground, a ray of light shot towards him, and Lin Ye dodged it.
boom!
The next moment there was a loud bang of fire, and the entire bottom of the well was as bright as day under the illumination of several pots of flames.
"Didn't expect you to come here?"
Monk Huiwen appeared and stood in front of several stone pillars. Lin Ye smiled: "Don't say that I have locked onto your aura. Even if I didn't, do you think you can escape from a dry well without water?"
"I didn't intend to hide. I just chose to avoid you because I didn't want to commit more sins. Please don't think that I am afraid of you."
"Really?"
Lin Ye looked at the stone pillars in front of Monk Huiwen. When he saw the patterns on them clearly, his eyes narrowed: "So this is your real purpose. You are also a pitiful person."
"I am pitiful... Hahaha, you are so arrogant. I have been practicing in Haihua Temple for more than ten years. Those stupid couples aborted their babies for the sake of a so-called male child, allowing me to use the fetus's resentment to practice secret techniques. Tell me, how can I be pitiful?"
Lin Ye listened to what Monk Huiwen said, and after seeing those stone pillars, he understood the purpose of Monk Huiwen's spreading the message of salvation for the unborn children.
Making money is just a by-product; the real purpose is to practice a forbidden Buddhist technique.
As a lay disciple of Miaoying Temple, Lin Ye was originally not qualified to enter the Sutra Library of Miaoying Temple. But there was no way. Since the death of Abbot Yin Guang and others, although he was a lay disciple, his seniority in Miaoying Temple was the same as the abbot. In addition, with money as a pact, Abbot Daoyuan gave Lin Ye the privilege of entering and exiting the Sutra Library at will.
In the Sutra Library of Miaoying Temple, there is a record of a monk practicing evil magic.
Eight Parts of Heavenly Child Technique!
In Buddhism, there are eight kinds of celestial dragons, which are guardian gods and not human beings. They are eight kinds of Shinto monsters.
An evil monk carved eight groups of celestial dragons out of stone pillars, and then irrigated the eight stone pillars with the resentment of fetuses that died before being born. This allowed the eight groups of celestial dragons to be infected by the resentment of the fetuses, and finally transformed into eight celestial children.
The Eight Heavenly Children have the magical powers of the Eight Heavenly Dragons and the resentment of dead babies, so their power is extraordinary.
However, to practice the Eight-Part Heavenly Child Technique, there is a prerequisite, that is, the practitioner is also an abandoned baby. Only if one is also an abandoned baby can one gain the recognition of these dead babies. This is why Lin Ye said that Monk Huiwen is also a pitiful person.
Lin Ye just looked at Monk Huiwen like that, and that look made Monk Huiwen go crazy. What he hated the most was being looked at with such pitiful eyes. In the first fifteen years after he was adopted by the old monk in the temple, he was fed up with such looks.
He was an abandoned baby, dumped at the gate of a temple. However, the old monk took him in not out of compassion, but just to use him to make money.
People who truly understand Buddhism know that Buddhism will never easily adopt abandoned babies. Such plots only appear in TV dramas and novels. The old monk took him in at the time just to use the fact that he was a baby to gain a good reputation so that believers would donate more money.
Ever since he was old enough to understand, the old monk made him do all the chores in the temple by himself. At first, he endured it, thinking that the old monk had adopted him after all. However, when he was fifteen years old, the old monk actually wanted to accept a new disciple and let him become the future abbot of the temple.
He couldn't accept it. He was the one who took care of everything in this temple. Why should someone else take it all away? So he took advantage of a rainy night and pushed the old monk into the well.
At first he was terrified, afraid of being discovered, but when he told the believers who came to the temple that the old monk had gone out to travel, none of the believers doubted him. Gradually, he came out of his fear and began to replace the old monk and became the abbot of the temple.
After becoming the abbot, many believers came to the temple to burn incense and pray. He deliberately asked these believers to write down their wishes on paper, and then secretly opened them at night. He discovered a business opportunity among these wishes, as many believers were praying for children.
For this reason, he suddenly had an idea and announced to the public that the temple was very effective in praying for children. As expected, the temple became more popular. However, during this period, he found that many believers came to pray for children, but he could not control this. Many believers secretly checked themselves after they became pregnant, and when they found out it was a daughter, they didn't know what to do. They wanted to abort the baby but didn't dare to.
Knowing this mentality of believers, he secretly contacted those believers who wanted sons but were pregnant with daughters, and told them that he could perform salvation for the fetuses, allowing them to go to paradise and reincarnate, so that these believers had no worries and he made a lot of money from the believers.
"I know you are from the Appraisal Institute. If I kill you, I will have completed my cultivation of the Eight-Division Heavenly Child. I will then find a place to hide. How can you find me?"
Monk Huiwen began to make seals with his hands, and as his hand seals changed, the patterns on the eight stone pillars glowed, but what was revealed were not the appearances of the Eight Heavenly Dragons in the patterns, but rather green-faced and fanged ghost children.
"Boys, bite him to pieces."
Monk Huiwen's expression was a little distorted. With his order, eight ghost children flew out from the stone pillar and roared towards Lin Ye.
"Hades doesn't care!"
Golden light began to appear behind Lin Ye. Facing the scum of Buddhism, he did not use Taoist practice techniques, but Buddhist practice methods. The golden light enveloped his body, and the ghost child did not dare to get close. As soon as he got close, he was bounced away by the golden light.
He is not even afraid of real ghost babies, let alone these that are merely the resentment of dead fetuses.
Monk Huiwen was stunned when he saw this scene. These Eight Heavenly Children's Forbidden Techniques were extremely powerful, so how could they not be able to break the Buddha's light of the person in front of him?
He formed seals with his hands again, and this time the eight ghost children let out shrill cries and pounced directly at the golden light surrounding Lin Ye.
Lin Ye chanted the Vajra Mantra, and the standing Buddha appeared above his head.
The moment the Standing Buddha appeared, the eight ghost children seemed to have met their nemesis and retreated quickly with screams.
"Get over here, you jerk! Why are you returning?"
"I serve you every day, go kill him!"
When Monk Huiwen saw these ghost children running back, his expression became ferocious and he kept cursing at them. However, what he did not notice was that as he cursed, the faces of these ghost children began to turn blue and purple, and the next moment they suddenly bit him.
"You beasts, what are you doing!"
“Ouch!”
The ghost children retaliated, and Monk Huiwen only screamed a few times before being knocked to the ground by the eight ghost children. Lin Ye frowned when he saw this scene.
"Is this monk so weak?"
Lin Ye sensed something was wrong. Normally, Hui Wen even knew the forbidden technique of the Eight-Part Heavenly Child, so it was impossible for him to be attacked back by the Ghost Child so easily. It is no exaggeration to say that the forbidden technique of the Eight-Part Heavenly Child is more precious than any other Buddhist inheritance.
“Get lost!”
Lin Ye appeared in front of Monk Huiwen and shouted. The eight ghost children immediately screamed and ran away, running back into the stone pillar.
Puff, puff!
Huiwen fell to the ground, half of his face had been bitten off, even his throat was exposed, and blood was constantly flowing out. It was obvious that he was no longer alive.
"Where did you get this forbidden technique from?"
"I...Wu...Wu..."
Blood suddenly spurted out of Huiwen's throat, and he lost all sound. At the end, his face revealed a strange smile.
"You mean the wizard's witch?"
Lin Ye was a little unsure about what he heard, but unfortunately Huiwen was no longer able to answer.
Sisi!
Just as Lin Ye frowned, the eight ghost children on the stone pillar suddenly screamed, as if they had seen some terrifying existence. Lin Ye immediately turned his head and looked at the place where he had landed before.
There, stood a man in a white robe.
The appearance of the man in white robe made Lin Ye extremely alert. The sense of crisis this man gave him was almost the same as the one he felt when the old Taoist tricked him into kicking the flower fairy's door.
"Are you the witch?"
Lin Ye's intuition told him that this person was the mysterious witch.
"Everyone calls me that, but you can also call me Bai Jinye."
"Bai Jinye?" Lin Ye frowned and asked, "Why do you want to help the evildoers?"
From Chen Shanghan’s wife to later ones, this person has been playing an ignominious role, but Lin Ye doesn’t understand, why does this person do this?
"I thought Tang Jin told you, but it seems she didn't. If that's the case, guess why I did this?"
Bai Jinye blinked his eyes, and Lin Ye really wanted to say, you look like you deserve a beating, I don’t know anything, I guess it’s your sister.
