Chapter 911: 907

“Any news about the seal which I have asked you to look into?” Helian Wei Wei’s fingers rapped against the wooden table as she looked at the train station outside the window, “No new clues, right?”

While he was navigating, Monkey replied, “Boss, you are indeed a smart person. I have inquired all the people from the same line of work as you, be it masters or eminent monks. All of them have the same opinion that this seal is indeed peculiar. They have never seen anything like this. I have hacked into many websites, yet I still could not find any information about this seal on the Internet.”

“What about the keywords? Related keywords usually appear when searching for something. What are they?” Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows.

“The keywords related to the seal are rather weird, like roti canai, curry, butter chicken, and other Indian dishes. Oh right, there’s also Nepal.” Monkey was looking at the road ahead, and the car was rather speedy.

“No wonder she would visit Yungui District.” Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes.

“Who?” Monkey could not understand what his boss meant.

Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly and asked a question instead of answering, “Do you know where the origin of Buddhism is?”

Monkey did not reply to her. On the other hand, Old Cat who was listening by the side got very excited, “I know about this. Wasn’t it in Journey to the West? When Tang Seng and his party climbed over mountains and crossed the Yellow River on their pilgrimage to get the scriptures in Tian Zhu, the origin of Buddhism was where they went. Tian Zhu is India in the present day!”

Helian Wei Wei took a glance at him and remained silent upon hearing his words.

Little Qingchen put the last Swarovski crystal into Baili Shangxie’s tiny pocket, then turned back to look at Old Cat, “Buddhism was created more than three thousand years ago in Kapilavastu. However, Western countries generally believe that Buddhism originated from India. Furthermore, India is in fact trying to shape its own image as the ‘Holy Land of Buddhism’. This has led many people to have the wrong impression that Buddha was born in India. The truth is, Kapilavastu was not in India but in Nepal. Anyone from the Mainland who wishes to visit Nepal would have to pass through the borders from Yun City.”

Little Qingchen explained very seriously, not forgetting to take everything that he should at the same time.

Baili Shangxie was afraid that he would fall, so he stood behind him. His crimson eyes became even more wicked after noticing Old Cat’s dumbfounded expression. He spoke coolly, “You don’t even know this? It’s common sense. Uncle, read more books when you have time. Humans are just so stupid.”

Old Cat was speechless.

Was his IQ being mocked by two three-year-old children now!?

You have got to be kidding me!

“Someone who likes children, from Nepal, the ancient Rajagaha City, has a gentle personality and appearance.” Helian Wei Wei’s eyes brightened up, “This reminds me of someone.”

Little Qingchen wobbled his way toward his mother, “Do you mean Hariti?”

“What Hariti? What are you talking about?” Old Cat’s face turned pale, “Are you talking about the master? Is she Hariti?”

Baili Shangxie smiled as his devilish insinuation started to intensify, “Hariti, one of the 20 Dharmapalas, also known as Karitei-mo. A celebration was held for the birth of a Buddha in the ancient Rajagaha City, where 500 people attended. On the way, they encountered a pregnant woman which they then brought along their journey. Unexpectedly, she had a miscarriage and all the 500 people left her. The woman then swore a poisonous oath, that she would be reincarnated into Rajagaha City and devour all the children there. Her oath actually came true after that. She came back to life in Rajagaha City and consumed all the children. Someone like this should join us in the magical realm, why would she join Buddhism and end up becoming the God that watches over the peace of children?”

Helian Wei Wei smiled when she heard his question. She reached out to caress Little Shangxie’s head, “That is because in the Buddhist story, she resorted to stealing human children and killed them as food to provide for her own children. Buddha then hid the youngest out of her 500 children which led her to search for her child frantically. Then, Buddha said to her, ‘You have 500 children, yet you are so sad to lose only one. How would mothers who have lost their only child feel?’ That is how she repented and became a deity who watches over the peace of children. We can also make use of what Buddha taught her right away.” Just as she finished saying that, she immediately spoke on the phone, “Monkey, quickly find out the family situation of all senior officers in Yungui District, now.”

“Alright.” Monkey was wearing a Bluetooth headset. He then stopped the car by the side of the road after a turn and switched on the all-in-one PC on the front passenger seat. He plugged one of the cables into the car navigation system and hacked a Wi-Fi nearby swiftly. After he got online, he started searching and got the information he wanted without delay, “Boss, I have my hands on all the information of the higher-ups in the Yungui District.”

Helian Wei Wei spoke calmly, “How many of them have children?”

“All of them. It’s normal to have children at this age.” Monkey quickly took a screenshot of the information and sent it over to Helian Wei Wei’s phone.

Helian Wei Wei freed one of her hands to take a look, “Very well, track down everyone who is covering up for Sixth Brother, and those who have received his money. Old A, Gold, both of you follow Monkey and take up this challenge. Learn how to become good traffickers. L, S, both of you proceed on the original route. After 20 minutes, we will gather at the train station and check-in with the tickets together. Watch out for your stuff, especially you, L. There are too many copper badges hanging on your boots and pants, you might just get checked. The Mainland is a lot more stringent than other regions, so don’t underestimate the security system here, understood?”

“No big deal, you can just tell them this is an art performance, a cosplay, or that this is just not mainstream. It is normal for L to have this kind of aesthetic at his age.” The screen cut off to S’s face.

The young lad laughed coldly, “I’m going to shoot you in the head.”

“Alright, the game starts now, check the time.” Helian Wei Wei raised her arm to look at her wrist, “It is now 3:24 am. After 20 minutes, I want to see L and S. Gold, Old A and Monkey, I want to hear your first good news in 30 minutes. All of you take care, if you get hurt, Little Qingchen will be heartbroken.”

Monkey sniffed his nose and was so touched that he could almost cry, “Little Boss, hurry up and remember me! It’s been a while since I took up a task, following Boss is still the best! It’s not challenging at all for me to pretend as a Feng Shui master and swindle people!”

Old Cat kept his silence.

So, you are no master at all, you have been cheating me all this time!

“Let’s go,” Helian Wei Wei swiftly cut off the call after only leaving behind two words. She kept her phone in her pocket and proceeded to bring the two fully loaded children out.

Old Cat reached out his hand to stop her, “Boss Wei, what are you trying to do? Why did you ask them to investigate the families of those people?”
