After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 125

"The doctor said Honghong needed to be kept in the hospital for observation, but there were no beds available in the pediatric ward, so Honghong was put in the corridor. The doctor here said that Honghong's condition was special and suggested that we go to the Second Hospital's neurology department for a comprehensive examination, but we couldn't get an appointment with the specialist there!"

An Lin calmed herself down and tried to express herself as clearly as possible.

“I heard from Ah Xu that Fei Fei has a classmate who works at the Second Hospital and is a director there. I want her to help out! But Ah Xu keeps calling her and she doesn’t answer. Mom calls her and she doesn’t answer either. Auntie, if you call her, she’ll definitely answer. Talk to Fei Fei and tell her that I was wrong about what happened before. Please ask her to help out! Hong Hong is only three years old!”

Bai Lu and the others vaguely knew that Qin Xu and Qin Fei had a falling out over something, and that they were so angry that they seemed determined to never speak to each other again, but she didn't know the specifics of what had happened.

Qin Fei isn't answering her brother's calls; he's probably blocked her.

"Okay, okay! Don't cry, don't worry, I'll call Feifei right away—how could she not answer the phone when something so important is happening!"

However, when she called Qin Fei, she didn't answer.

"Don't worry, she's probably filming. They don't allow phone use for work!"

Unable to contact Qin Fei anywhere, An Lin and Qin Xu were extremely worried. Qin Xiu was also very worried, so she called Bai Lu and said that she was in a panic: "Isn't Xiao Xiao also in the capital? Give her Fei Fei's address so she can go find her!"

Qin Xiu had never been to the capital, so she didn't know how big it was. Since lives were at stake, she would try anything if there was a way.

"Okay, okay, don't rush!"

Bai Lu spoke into the phone, her other hand already making hand gestures to cast a divination. She didn't know her nephew's birth date and time, but she did know Qin Xu's. However, the divination results showed that Qin Xu actually had signs of losing his son!

so serious? !
Bai Lu frowned. The pain of losing a child is something no parent can accept, and she would not allow such a thing to happen!
"I'll go take a look. You can have your cousin-in-law send me the exact address—never mind, I'll just ask her myself!"

Often, the information relayed by her mother was inaccurate, so Bailu called Anlin herself to get their current address.

Anlin and the others were no longer in the mood to dwell on why Bailu wanted the hospital address.

Qin Xiu looked at the phone after it was hung up and sighed, "What good will it do you go? You can't even treat a patient!"

But then she suddenly remembered her "master" Master Qingxu, and Qin Xiu called Bai Lu again, but couldn't get through. When she finally got through a minute or two later, Bai Lu was already at the hospital in Shanghai where Qin Hong was.

As soon as the call connected, Qin Xiu said, "Lu Lu, Master Qingxu's peace talismans are the most effective. Could you ask him for two to take with you?"

In life-or-death situations, many people choose to believe in ghosts and gods, and Qin Xiu was even more so.

With convenient transportation now, if Chenchen is sent to Dongcheng to catch a plane, they can arrive in Shanghai before dark.

A peace charm?!
Bai Lu was a little annoyed. She only remembered to send vegetables and eggs to her older cousin and the others, but she hadn't thought of sending them a good luck charm!
"Mom, don't worry, Honghong will be fine. I'm already at the hospital. I'll hang up now. I'll be very busy later, so don't call me. Call my older cousin instead."

Bai Lu hung up the phone after speaking; at this point, she had nothing left to hide.

If she wants to snatch someone from the clutches of the King of Hell, it's impossible for her to remain inconspicuous. Her cousin and his wife will find out eventually. There's no reason why she could keep it a secret from her parents while everyone else knew.

So, I'm not hiding anything anymore, I'm laying it all out!

Qin Xiu was completely bewildered on both ends of the phone. Bai Lu was indeed speaking the dialect of their Dongshi Village, so why couldn't she understand what she was saying?!
What do you mean she went to the hospital? Which hospital did she go to?
Hospitals in Yangcheng?
Or a hospital in Shanghai?
If it were a hospital in Shanghai, wouldn't she have gone to look after pigs?

How did you get to the hospital?

The distance between Shanghai and Yangcheng is more than a thousand miles.

She was calling her one minute, and the next minute she was in Shanghai?
Qin Xiu thought she might be going crazy, but then she thought again—she was Master Qingxu's disciple!

In case of emergency—May the Bodhisattva protect us!
"Amitabha!" She quickly put her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed.

Hopefully, Qin Hong will be safe and sound!
Bai Lu was unaware of Qin Xiu's shock. She had already arrived at the pediatric ward on the fifth floor and, without even needing to look around, found Qin Hong's location.

The intense demonic aura was so strong that it was hard for her not to notice it.

"cousin!"

Bai Lu quickly walked over and called out. Qin Xu, who was texting on his phone, looked up at the sound, paused for a moment, and thought he was seeing things: "Lu Lu? What are you doing here?"

My cousins, especially the ones from my aunt's family, are the least troublesome. They're unlikely to run away from home. Besides, they're all grown up, what nonsense would they have about running away from home!
But if they come to see him, they will definitely let him know first. They would never come over without a word. Their family doesn't believe in such surprises!
Anlin, who was crying silently, also looked over: "Xiaolu?!"

Bai Lu looked at Qin Hong, who was receiving an IV drip. The little boy had his eyes tightly closed, with dark circles under his eyes and pale lips. To the naked eye, he looked like a sick child with a sick face. But in Bai Lu's eyes, there was a dark shadow attached to him, and the strong demonic aura was coming from that shadow.

Her eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she touched Qin Hong's brow with her fingertip. A spiritual seal entered his body, sealing off his gradually dissipating life force and the evil spirits within him.

"Xiao Lu, has your aunt managed to contact your sister Fei Fei? Hong Hong looks like this."

Anlin had been suppressing her anxiety for too long, and seeing the egret seemed to give her an outlet.

“How can Honghong be alright in this condition! We’ve been having blood tests every day for the past few days, but the reports are all normal. We’ve even consulted a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, who said he has some qi and blood deficiency. What’s wrong with him? What’s wrong with my child?!”

On the surface, he seemed fine, but his unconsciousness was quite intriguing.

How could a normal person fall into a coma and remain unconscious!

But it's very frustrating when doctors can't find the cause of the illness!

An Lin has been staying at the hospital these past few days, and she looks even more haggard than Qin Hong.

"Cousin-in-law—" Bai Lu, seeing that Qin Hong was temporarily unharmed, took An Lin's hand and looked at Qin Xu: "Cousin, my mother told you that I practice Taoism with a Taoist priest, and it's true. Hong Hong is unconscious not because he is sick, but because he is possessed by a demon, and this demon is absorbing his life force and essence."

An Lin and Qin Xu were both stunned for a moment.

In modern society, the education received is mostly atheistic. Both of them are college students with high academic qualifications, and they avoid superstition. At first glance, it seems absurd, but it also seems not impossible.

Once the impossible has been eliminated, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!
An Lin, in particular, had considered many possible reasons in the past few days, including the possibility of evil spirits, but she hadn't voiced them.

"Then what should we do? Little Lu, you have a plan, right?"

Bai Lu was a little surprised that An Lin accepted her statement so quickly. She thought she would have to use some persuasion, such as asking An Lin to call the doctor to arrange another examination, since today's examination results would definitely be different from those of the previous days.

A few days ago, Qin Hong was healthy because the evil spirit had not yet found a way to absorb the essence of a person. But now it seems that it has found it. The essence in Qin Hong's body is rapidly depleting. If Bai Lu had not come, Qin Hong would have died within three days, and the divination that Qin Xu would lose his son would have come true.

“Sister-in-law, I can save Honghong. If you believe me, we can process Honghong’s discharge from the hospital right now and take her home.”

The hospital is overcrowded now; exorcising demons is really inappropriate.

If it were to possess someone else, or escape in the chaos, it would take some effort to find it again.

Moreover, it has mastered the trick of absorbing human essence. Once possessed by it, the possessed person will not be as lucky as Qin Hong.

Qin Xu and An Lin exchanged a glance, both seeing hesitation in each other's eyes. Qin Xu considered for a moment and said, "You said you cultivate Taoism, I'd like to see it for myself."

After all, it concerned his son's life, so Qin Xu was very cautious. Even when facing his own cousin, he couldn't blindly trust her.

At the hospital, there's the added protection of doctors; but if something unexpected happens at home, the relationship between the two families will never be the same again.

This is not the outcome he wanted, nor is it a consequence he cannot afford.

“Okay—” Bai Lu said, placing her hands over Qin Xu and An Lin’s eyes respectively. When they opened their eyes again, the world they saw had completely changed. The already crowded corridor was now completely blocked by assassins, densely packed with people and ghosts.

Their expressions ranged from lively and alert to dazed and confused, from sorrowful to relieved.

Ghosts have all sorts of lives.

Don't ask them how they knew it was a ghost; just say it's intuition.

They quickly turned their attention to Qin Hong. An Lin immediately covered her mouth. She saw it, she saw the ominous shadow emanating from her son.

But she dared not act rashly, fearing that her recklessness might harm her son. She could only turn her gaze to Bailu, who shook her head at her: "Honghong is fine, don't worry!"

"Discharge!"

Qin Xu immediately said, and then ran to find the doctor. Because he had opened his third eye, he could pass through the doctor's office, which was only a dozen meters long, by hiding and weaving between the ghosts and the humans.

Today, his worldview is collapsing and being rebuilt.

When his aunt told him that Bailu had learned some skills from a Taoist priest, he thought she was just being naive. Little did he know he was being narrow-minded—this wasn't just learning some skills, this was clearly a master!
He quickened his pace, and just as he was about to bump into a ghost, he dodged to the side, only to bump into another one. He then found himself unharmed as he crashed into the wall. He paused for a moment, and then began his reckless rampage.

The discharge procedures were completed quickly. Since Qin Xu said he wanted to transfer to the Second Hospital, the doctor also gave him a transfer certificate. Qin Xu drove, and An Lin held Qin Hong and sat next to Bai Lu, as if this would give them more sense of security.

Traffic congestion in Shanghai meant it took a full forty minutes to get from the hospital back to the apartment complex. When they arrived at Qin Xu's home, Bai Lu carried Qin Hong to her side: "Where is his room?"

"He lives with us."

An Lin hurriedly opened the door to the master bedroom. There was still a faint demonic aura inside, indicating that he had been possessed before he fainted at the kindergarten, but none of that mattered.

It's just about exorcising demons; there's no need to understand the causes and consequences, nor to sympathize with the demons' good intentions in harming people.

Just as there are good and bad people, there are also ghosts and demons.

Like the plant spirits in Sanqing Mountain, they are also demons, but they cultivate honestly and without any intention or action to harm people, so they are naturally good demons. However, the demon possessing Qin Hong harmed a three-year-old child and deserves to die.

Upon arriving at the room, Bai Lu set up an isolation array, then grasped Qin Hong's small hand. The next moment, a flash of white light appeared between her hands, and a spiritual seal covered Qin Hong's entire body. The black shadow clinging tightly to him was instantly flung away, and the demonic aura on his body vanished in an instant.

The shadowy figure that was thrown back bounced off the wall and crashed heavily to the ground, letting out a pitiful "meow" and actually speaking in human language: "Master, spare my life!"

The egret coldly stared at the dark figure, which had already revealed its true form—a black cat demon. The cat demon's eyes were filled with fear and pleading; it clearly hadn't expected to be so easily expelled from Qin Hong.

"Spare his life? When you were harming innocent children, did you ever think of sparing their lives?"

The egret's voice was devoid of warmth; she felt no sympathy for this harmful evil.

The cat demon trembled, knowing it had made a grave mistake, but still tried to beg for mercy: "Master, I was wrong. I was just greedy for a moment. This is the first time I've harmed someone. Please forgive me this time. I promise I will never harm anyone again."

The egret remained unmoved. She knew that the words of the evil spirit were not to be trusted, and that if she let it go, it would surely continue to harm people.

Those who take shortcuts find it extremely difficult to get back on track. Why can't gamblers quit gambling? Because they have tasted the joy of making quick money. Through gambling, they can earn 10,000 or even 100,000 a day. Would you ask them to honestly find a job with a monthly salary of 5,000?
Let alone a demon!
Humans have always been favored by the Heavenly Dao. Their cultivation is a hundred times easier than that of animals and plants. However, demons face many restrictions in their cultivation and their progress is slow. Human essence can help demons improve their cultivation and make rapid progress. This is why demons have harmed people throughout history and why they have been repeatedly banned but not stopped. This is also why cultivators show no mercy in eliminating demons.

To some extent, humans and demons are on opposite sides—if a demon harbors malicious intentions!
The egret slowly raised its hand, a ray of spiritual light gathering at its fingertips, preparing to completely destroy the cat demon.

"Xiao Lu, wait!" An Lin suddenly spoke up, looking at the cat demon: "Will killing it now affect Hong Hong?"

"No, it won't." Bai Lu glanced at An Lin and shook her head.
