Under the strong lights of several motorcycles, I saw that on Song Yixuan's deathly pale face, his otherwise good-looking eyes were bloodshot. One of his pupils had shrunk to the size of a needlepoint, while the other was as black as if soaked in ink.
Was he possessed?!
This thought flashed through my mind in an instant.
But how could it be?! He had the evil god, the One-Eyed Buddha Mother, on him...
"Xiao He, send the neighbors home!"
The voice that came out of Song Yixuan's mouth was actually A Jian's. Without time to think, I pushed the neighbors who had come to help back into the yard.
At this moment, Song Yixuan went crazy. He stretched out the hand that wasn't holding the steel pipe and grabbed his own neck tightly.
"Where did this lost soul come from, daring to seize the physical body favored by this Buddha Mother?!"
In such a short time, the One-Eyed Buddha Mother had gathered countless powers of faith through Tao Ran's business. Her power was many times stronger than the clone I had devoured in the hospital back then!
Unexpectedly, A Jian, who had taken control of half of Song Yixuan's body, wasn't afraid of her at all. He sneered coldly and interrupted the Buddha Mother. Only A Jian's cold voice rang out from Song Yixuan's mouth: "What lousy lost soul, daring to pretend to be the Buddha Mother?!"
Saying this, A Jian directly hit Song Yixuan's left arm with the steel pipe in his right hand. The blow was extremely heavy, dislocating Song Yixuan's arm immediately.
"Get out of here!" A Jian sneered.
I had always thought that A Jian had a natural air of nobility. Later, when I saw the reincarnation records in the underworld, I found out that he was actually an emperor of the late Ming Dynasty. Although he didn't end well in the end, he had absolute dignity. He would rather hang himself than become a prisoner of the rebels and suffer the humiliation like the two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty.
How could such an emperor be threatened by an evil demon?
His scolding made the Buddha Mother in Song Yixuan's body tremble uncontrollably!
"Roar—"
The One-Eyed Buddha Mother didn't know that the one competing with her for possession was an emperor. After being startled, she immediately flew into a rage. She let out a roar and rammed into the counter in the room. With a "click", she rammed her dislocated shoulder back into place. Then she reached behind her head and tore off a piece of Song Yixuan's scalp along with his hair.
Immediately, the back of Song Yixuan's head was bloody, showing the grayish-white skull oozing blood. There were three dark red patterns on that piece of skull, like a symbol of a single eye, engraved on the back of his head.
"Aaaaah..."
Perhaps stimulated by the continuous excruciating pain, Song Yixuan finally let out a painful wail. "My Lady Buddha Mother... Please spare my life. Didn't you say that as long as I'm obedient, you'll restore me to normal... Please don't hurt my body!"
Song Yixuan was a celebrity and had to pay attention to his personal image.
First, his arm was dislocated by the blow, and then the Buddha Mother tore off his scalp. The first thing he thought of wasn't death, but how he could face his fans in the future!
"Stop struggling, you stupid thing!"
The One-Eyed Buddha Mother was already struggling to compete with A Jian for control of the body. Suddenly, Song Yixuan's own consciousness intervened, making her even more powerless. "Otherwise, the Buddha Mother will eat you!"
"Wu!!" Caught between two powerful consciousnesses, Song Yixuan was like the cream in a sandwich biscuit, being squeezed into a thin slice. He had never expected to be under such terrifying pressure. His entire body seemed about to explode.
Song Yixuan didn't want to die. Even if he was paralyzed in bed, he still thought about how he could stand up again... Although the hope was slim, he didn't want to give up. He called and video-called his boss, Ma Su, every day, afraid that Tao Ran would give up on treating him as a useless person!
Fortunately, Ma Su didn't seem to have the intention of giving up on him. Instead, she made sure he had continuous exposure, creating a false image of him being physically disabled but mentally tough, and attracting a lot of traffic on the internet!
Although Song Yixuan had continuous popularity, he could only lie in bed all day and couldn't move. Looking at his increasingly withered lower limbs, Song Yixuan had no choice but to beg Ma Su to find better doctors for him.
Ma Su told him that a shattered vertebra was incurable. Unless he became a god, there was no other way for him to stand up again in this lifetime.
Just when Song Yixuan was almost in despair, Ma Su told him that actually, becoming a god was very simple. All the top leaders of Tao Ran Media believed in a lofty deity from Tibet. This deity not only protected them and helped them gain fame and fortune but also kept them healthy and young!
Now, this deity wanted to descend to the mortal world and choose a devout believer to possess. Besides having extremely good luck, the believer's body and hair would also be restored to normal.
Without even thinking, Song Yixuan begged Ma Su to invite the god to possess him.
People in the entertainment industry all believed in fate because everything was uncertain. There were lucky ones who became popular overnight after acting in a single drama, and there were also bottom - level people who played supporting roles their whole lives... They might have started at the same point but had different life directions.
So they liked to pray to gods and Buddhas. It was said that most of the people in the entertainment industry had gone to Thailand to invite child ghosts to help them change their fortunes.
Song Yixuan had also invited a few yin talismans, but he didn't know if it was because he wasn't devout enough or if he had been deceived.
Since Wang Yingxiu's accident, his stardom had been full of obstacles. He had even been paralyzed after encountering a ghost.
He didn't care if the god was good or bad. As long as it could make him stand up again, he was willing to worship "it" for a lifetime!!
Ma Su was a decisive woman. She immediately took him out of the hospital and brought him to a private manor on the outskirts of Beijing.
It took almost ten minutes to drive from the main gate to the three - story European - style reception hall.
Here, Song Yixuan saw the ferocious statue of the One-Eyed Buddha Mother for the first time. He was terrified by the single eye with a hanging ruby on the bronze statue. Then, a powerful pressure poured down from the top of his head.
It was as if a hundred elephants were stomping on top of Song Yixuan's head, almost crushing him into minced meat.
Song Yixuan didn't know how long this pain lasted. Finally, he was able to let out a shrill cry.
Ma Su, who had been watching coldly from the side, was happy at this moment. She reached out and pulled Song Yixuan out of the wheelchair.
Song Yixuan only felt a burning sensation from the top of his head to his tailbone. He stood up straight effortlessly, as if there was a steel bar behind him supporting his broken bones...
Song Yixuan was extremely grateful to Ma Su and even more convinced that this Buddha Mother had boundless magical powers.
From then on, he devoutly worshiped her in his home. He even told this miracle in the live - broadcast room, making his fans extremely devout to the One-Eyed Buddha Mother!!
It was only now that Song Yixuan began to be afraid. He couldn't control his own body at all. Even a little finger didn't belong to him anymore!
He didn't want to hand over the control of his body...
