ghost! Just deal with some shovels!" My brother complained.A strange chill hung in the elevator shaft. As we were about to step inside, a woman's voice echoed from behind us—"Hello, please wait a mom..."Huh" I'm bleeding I wasn't hurt, the blood on my hand is Song Wei's: "This isn't my blood—"
... Jiang Qiyun, hearing that it wasn't my blood, immediately turned his head to look at the ghost exorcist.
The Taoist priest was pinned to the wall by my Ghost Shackling Technique, and then pierced through his ghostly form by Jiang Qiyun with a chain that looked incredibly powerful. He was unable to move, but a smile played on his face, as if he were mocking us.
As Jiang Qiyun tugged at the chain, he stumbled abruptly, and the bronze bell in his hand slipped loose!
In the nearly vanishing black mire, a pair of grey-white arms, crisscrossed with scars, suddenly shot out. They opened wide to catch the copper bell and then retracted immediately.
We didn't expect to have such a trump card!
The moment the bell disappeared, the Taoist priest's body seemed to be drained of its soul. The eerie smile on his face vanished.
They were already accustomed to escaping in the world, their speed and methods of escape were very skilled.
Jiang Qiyun turned her head and glanced at me, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes: "...I'll take this ghost to the underworld first, you—"
"I'm fine." I quickly shook my head, hugging Song Wei tightly. "I'll take Song Wei to the hospital first, you go busy yourself."
The importance of this exorcist's soul is paramount; he wouldn't entrust it to others. I understand.
The river rose, summoning the underworld gate. He personally led the ghost exorcist away, and as the underworld gate disappeared, a knock came from the safety passage behind me: "Open up, who's in there Are you dead"
This voice sounds familiar... I hurriedly opened the door and took a look —
The man outside was wearing a baseball cap, earplugs, holding a phone, and dressed in a baseball jersey, jeans, and sneakers.
Even the coolest attire couldn't hide the smooth, shiny patch on the back of his head.
"Hūi Qīng You fake monk, how did you get here—"
I want to ask, was it you who chanted the Buddha's name just now
Those resounding chants of "Namo Amitabha Buddha" were like a tidal wave, with an imposing aura reminiscent of Arhats chanting in unison. They reverberated from afar, shattering the nearby glass panes layer by layer. This sparked a flash of insight within me, reminding me to break the barrier from within.
Could this fake monk really be born with the bones of a Buddha and possess such immeasurable magical powers
I couldn't help but admire him.
However, as soon as this idea popped into my head, I saw him pull out the headphone jack, and a powerful, thundering chorus of Buddhist chants immediately filled his phone.
"Oh, it was recorded on your phone all along!"
"Little Qiao How come you're the one being bothered" He tucked his phone away while sizing me up and then Song Wei lying behind me.
This guy, after getting acquainted with my brother, didn't even bother to call him "master" anymore.
"You're just in time, come help me with my friend, she's hurt." I pointed to Song Wei lying behind me.
Hui Qing took one look and said, "No, no, men and women shouldn't be too close. Although I haven't truly become a monk, I can't go against the Three Refuges and Five Precepts!"
The Three Refuges in Buddhism are: refuge in the Buddha, refuge in the Dharma, and refuge in the Sangha; the Five Precepts are: abstain from killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, and intoxicants.
Here, adultery and lust are different. True monks who have taken refuge should abstain from both lust and adultery, while lay practitioners practicing at home should only abstain from adultery.
It is acceptable for men and women living at home to marry, have children, and perpetuate their lineage. This is a legal and legitimate marriage sanctioned by Heaven and not considered adultery.
Adultery is specifically divided into two categories: 1. Relationships with individuals who are not one's spouse, such as having affairs with one's husband or wife, boys and girls, prostitutes, or strangers, all of which are violations. 2. Between spouses, it refers to excessive lust and desire without regard for time, place, or method, which is also a violation.
This is the Buddhist monastic code, I only understand the surface.
Master Huiqing was very afraid of breaking the monastic rules. Although he boasted and claimed that he hadn't married a wife and would never become a monk, when he actually interacted with women, he was just like in the song, fearing them like tigers.
"Even the Buddha said that saving one life is better than building seven pagodas. Are you asking me, a pregnant woman, to carry her"
Huiqing monk hesitated for a moment, chanted a few Buddha's name, picked up Song Wei and ran downstairs quickly to hail a cab.
The doctor looked at the wound and then at the blood on my hand and clothes, very puzzled: "So much blood from such a small wound!"
What do you mean Doctor, are you saying the wound isn't big enough yet
The doctor, being cautious, ordered a CT scan. The results came back negative for cranial or brain injuries. It was just a scraped head and some mild concussion. While we waited for Song Wei to wake up, I felt the two little bundles in my belly moving impatiently, like a fire burning me from the inside out.
"Why don't you take a look You're already at the hospital, it can't be anything serious," Huiqing monk took out his phone and said, "Your brother is on his way."
I had no choice but to entrust him with watching over Song Wei and went to make an appointment myself. My heart was pounding with anxiety. What if something was wrong with the baby How would I face the doctor's horrified gaze if he looked at me like I was a monster
I don't want to be in the news, and I don't want my child to be discovered as different.
But I can't trouble Lin Yanhuan anymore, his personal doctor doesn't know how he was dealt with. He's as tight-lipped as someone with a zipper on their mouth, only reporting to him and not me.
Now that doctor dared not disobey him any longer, he was the future Crown Prince after all, terrifying, terrifying.
When the doctor made a questioning "Hm" during the ultrasound, my heart skipped a beat.
If she asks me: How come there's no heartbeat How come I only see two puffs of mist What should I say in response to that
Who knew she had only looked a few extra times: "Identical twins, a one in three thousand chance. You're so lucky."
“Thank you,” I muttered, my lips twitching.
"The child is too young, remember to eat more, this gestational age and developmental condition doesn't match... You should still make an appointment with a specialist and let the specialist take a look at the results." She printed out the examination results.
I foolishly followed their instructions, and the expert had me go for blood tests several times. After running around all day, they finally concluded that I was somewhat anemic.
An expert said anemia can lead to low blood oxygen, but two babies... if they lack oxygen, they will be very irritable, move frequently, and it's very dangerous... I'd better go see Old Mrs. Wu. The expert's words don't sound serious.
When I came out of the examination room, I actually saw Jiang Qiyun leaning against the pillar waiting for me.
My god, the Heavenly Emperor is in the gynecology waiting area...
This... scene is simply unbearable to look at. His cold aura contrasts sharply with the surrounding pink decor.
I feel so sorry for him!
"What are you doing here" I felt so awkward.
Luckily it's during hospital shift hours now, the waiting hall is deserted. Otherwise, if someone saw me giving the pillar in the hallway a look of shame mixed with coquettish displeasure, they would think I was sick.
Jiang Qiyun ignored my question, which I knew was pointless. He simply snatched the medical record book from my hand.
"Anemia" he raised an eyebrow, returning the medical record to me, his voice as cold as ever. "…Go back and replenish yourself."
