Zhang Chengfeng had already made himself very clear.
After the Evil Buddha was killed back then, Wu Huaqing had sent someone to fetch Zhang Chengfeng because of his special skill. He had used his Soul-Peeling Art to extract the Evil Buddha's three souls and seal the heavenly soul and earth soul inside that Evil Buddha statue.
Later, Wu Huaqing had put the statue into a box along with some documents. That box had probably served as his safe.
Then, when Fang Mingjie fled, he had stolen the box.
The sequence of events back then seemed a little clearer now. But Zhang Chengfeng had said that the organization's higher-ups had only told him to seal the Evil Buddha's heavenly soul and earth soul inside the statue. Those souls had later been reincarnated as Li Fuguang.
What about the human soul? Where had it gone?
I hurriedly asked Zhang Chengfeng what had been done with that bald man's human soul.
Zhang Chengfeng said, "The human soul was placed inside a baby. They told me to do it."
I quickly asked, "Who was that baby? Whose child was it?"
Zhang Chengfeng shook his head. "I don't know. They would never have let me know too much, either. But there was probably something wrong with that baby."
"Something wrong?" I asked, puzzled. "What exactly do you mean?"
Zhang Chengfeng thought back for a moment, then said, "There was something strange about the baby's eyes. Before normal babies have been fed grains, their eyes are clear and lively. They can see unclean things."
"But that baby's eyes were dull, a little like those of a child born with a disability."
"I suspect that baby might have been missing a human soul when it was reincarnated."
Missing a human soul...
I remembered the Seventh Master saying
