The young couple looked at each other after hearing this, looking a little nervous.
They didn't know what the reincarnation drug was, but seeing Shen Tianshu's expression as if he was facing a formidable enemy, they speculated that it was not a good thing.
The old woman was frightened by the word "Sir". She just wanted her daughter-in-law to have a grandson, so why did she want to alarm the "Sir"?
The guards quickly split up and soon Li Zian came over.
"I heard someone came to report that there is news about the reincarnation drug?"
The young couple were a little nervous when they saw Li Zian. The young daughter-in-law couldn't even sit still. She wanted to get up but Shen Tianshu raised her hand to hold her down: "You are not stable now. Don't get up casually. Just sit down. Don't worry. , the prince will not blame you for this."
The man saw that both Li Zian and Shen Tianshu were quite friendly, so he had the courage to ask: "Ms. Tong, I wonder what's going on with this reincarnation medicine?"
Shen Tianshu was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Zian's look, saying: "Be calm for a moment. You two are young, so it's normal for you not to know about this matter. In fact, Mrs. Tong and I only learned about it some time ago. We are gradually understanding this matter.
"So in order to explain things clearly to you, I have sent someone to ask Master Fukong, the abbot of Tian'en Temple, and I will wait for him to come over and tell you."
Master Fu Kong, the abbot of Tian'en Temple, is now over fifty years old and is a very famous enlightened monk throughout Wuchang Prefecture. Especially near Tian'en Temple, Master Fu Kong's majesty is even greater.
Usually, if there are any disputes among the people or shops around, the monks from Tianen Temple will come to mediate and resolve them, and these people are basically the disciples or even the disciples of Master Fu Kong.
In the eyes of everyone, the only thing that needs to alert Master Fuku to personally deal with it is the collapse of the sky and the earth.
So as soon as I heard that Master Fu Kong was coming, the old woman who had just wanted to make a fuss immediately stopped moving. Her eyes wandered around, not knowing what she was planning.
Not long after, Master Fu Kong, wearing cassocks, rushed over accompanied by his two disciples.
"Amitabha, I have met the prince."
"Master Fu Kong, there is no need to be polite. I am bothering you today because I hope you can tell us about the reincarnation medicine back then."
As soon as Master Fukong heard the word reincarnation medicine, his expression immediately froze.
Seeing his appearance, the young couple became even more nervous. They clasped their hands together for fear of hearing some bad news.
The old woman also vaguely felt that the matter seemed more serious than she thought, and looked at Master Fu Kong in surprise.
After the guards moved some chairs and asked everyone to sit down, Master Fukong twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand and recited the Buddha's name before saying: "I never want to recall what happened back then in my life, and I will never talk to him again. Others mentioned it.
"But I didn't expect that after so many years, something like this that harms the world would appear again, and it would appear under my nose!
"So since the prince asked me to come and talk to you, I will tell you what happened back then."
As soon as these words came out, the old woman and the young couple broke into cold sweats nervously, always feeling that what Master Fu Kong was going to say next might be particularly shocking.
"In fact, since ancient times, most people have been eager to have a son. Even some of our devout pilgrims at Tian'en Temple must burn incense and pay tribute every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, just to get a son to inherit the family business and pass on the incense.
“So when the rebirth drug appeared on the market back then, it could be said that the supply exceeded the demand and it was sold out.
"At that time, there were many people who came forward and said that they gave birth to a son after taking the rebirth pill.
“In this way, those who want to have children are more determined to buy medicine.
“Back then, a bottle of reincarnation medicine was sold from one tael of silver to hundreds of taels a bottle.
“But this pregnancy-transfer medicine is different from other medicines, and the effect cannot be seen immediately. After all, it takes ten months for a woman to conceive before she can give birth.
"Many pregnant people at that time took this kind of rebirth drug to some extent, and the tragedy happened after they started giving birth one after another..."
When Master Fukong said this, he seemed to recall the tragic situation of that year. He couldn't bear it. He twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand and recited several Buddha's names before regaining his composure.
He continued: "At first, people did not realize the seriousness of the matter, but as more and more women gave birth to strange babies, it gradually caused civil unrest."
“At that time, many people went to the temple to pray for Buddha and gods with their strange-looking children in their arms, thinking that they were disturbed by ghosts and gods during their pregnancy.
"It wasn't until later that the imperial court sent people to investigate and the government got involved, that everyone knew that everything was a problem with the reincarnation drug.
"And apart from those who gave birth to strange babies, many more people failed to carry it to term, and the babies could no longer be saved. There were also many cases of difficult births that resulted in two deaths.
"And most of the children who couldn't be saved were strangely shaped, with multiple arms and legs, and some even had two heads connected together...
"In order to quell the fear and turmoil among the people, the imperial court not only invited the famous doctor Jiang and his disciples to help pregnant women who had taken the rebirth medicine.
"Temories such as Tian'en Temple have also sent many monks to the common people to help them transcend these women and children who have died for some reason..."
Everyone knows that monks do not lie, not to mention that Master Fu Kong has already become a high-level monk, so it is naturally impossible for him to lie to others.
So the little daughter-in-law had already turned pale and her whole body was weak after hearing this. She only relied on her husband's support to prevent her from slipping off the chair.
The old woman also had a face full of shock, and her whole body was shaking like autumn leaves in the cold wind.
She couldn't believe her ears, her eyes were widened and her teeth were chattering.
Shen Tianshu also understood at this time why Li Zian specially asked Master Bukong to talk about this matter.
If the person who said these words hadn't been Master Fu Kong, the woman would have rushed to scratch the other person's face and call him an alarmist liar.
Among the family of three, only the young man could barely maintain his composure and asked in a trembling voice: "Then if you take this rebirth medicine, something will happen to you? Will the child definitely not be saved?"
As the old woman said just now, the couple has been married for several years, and this is the first time they are pregnant.
The relationship between the two is very good, but they have always been looking forward to having children.
Now that I finally saw hope, who would have thought that something like this would happen.
Before Master Fukong could say anything, the old woman beside him suddenly sat down on the ground with a plop, clapped his thighs and burst into tears.
She really wanted to have a grandson, but even if she wasn't a grandson, having a granddaughter would be better than giving birth to a freak!
"What kind of evil have I done! I had good intentions but actually did something wrong. I'm really shameless in front of others——
"I, I can't feel sorry for my son and daughter-in-law, I can't feel sorry for my parents-in-law, and I can't even feel sorry for the ancestors of Lao Zheng's family——
"You all don't care about me, why don't you just let me die -"
