Reborn as the little tail of the cool master

Chu Huaizhou looked down at him, the sound of his collapsing emotions and beliefs reached his eardrums clearly, and the intermittent sobbing sounded particularly sad in the empty and quiet room.

Mr. Wang paused, as if the words he was about to say became particularly difficult, bitterness spread in his mouth, and he suddenly stuttered.

"When... my mother was seriously ill and Madam Ru was about to give birth, I was returning home from chopping wood in the mountains as usual when I met an immortal..."

"This immortal was kindhearted. Seeing that I was so poor and pitiful, he gave me a purse. My mother once said that one should not accept gifts without merit. I have always remembered this and did not accept the purse he gave me."

"The Immortal Lord then forcefully put it in my hand. As we were struggling and pushing each other, he accidentally felt my pulse and said that I had some affinity with the Dao and had a good physique."

"He said a lot of things that I didn't understand, and then asked me if I was willing to go up the mountain to practice Taoism. I was actually very willing, but I couldn't leave my seriously ill mother behind, so I said I didn't want to."

Mortals are extremely eager to learn some Taoist magic and immortal arts. Even if they cannot make it, when they return to live in the mountains, they can protect their families from being disturbed by evil spirits and be respected by everyone.

"That immortal obviously didn't expect me to refuse. I bowed, thanked him and left. He was stunned for a long time before he caught up with me and asked why. I..."

"Lie!" Chu Huaizhou interrupted coldly, his eyebrows moved slightly, and his deep purple eyes were calm and indifferent without a trace of emotion.

Xiao Jingxuan was obviously startled when he heard this. He pursed his lower lip tightly and said in a soft and nonchalant voice, "Practicing Taoism requires fate. If you don't want to, no one will force you to do it, let alone catch up with you."

Wang Yuanwai grinned, forcing a miserable and ugly smile, "Whether you believe it or not, everything I said today is true, without a single lie."

After hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and sneered: "Okay, go on, I want to see what he will do."

"When the Immortal Lord asked me questions, I told him all about the hardship at home, my father's alcoholism, and my mother's serious illness. I said I had to chop wood for money to support my family, and I was too busy to go up the mountain to practice Taoism."

"The Immortal Lord said that if I practice Taoism in the mountains, I will also receive monthly wages, which is much more than the silver I can earn by chopping wood. It is impossible for me not to be tempted. After pondering for a long time, I finally agreed."

"He stuffed the purse back into my arms and said it was an advance for my monthly salary. We agreed to meet at the foot of the mountain in three days."

When he said this, he stared at the already exhausted Renzhu fiercely and said with gritted teeth, "Because this guy is not someone who can be easily fooled, I will give half of the money that the Immortal Lord gave me during those three days to my mother."

"Then I worked hard to collect dry firewood and piled it up in a house, making sure it was enough to cook for half a year. Only then did I tell my father about my decision to become a monk. But he asked me in return, who would cook for him after I left?"

Xiao Jingxuan couldn't believe it. She opened her beautiful eyes wide, but her tone was casual, "So he didn't respond?"

This is really strange. Every year, how many ordinary families want to send their children to the mountains to practice Taoist magic to save their lives, but are rejected because their bones are not good enough. This person with excellent bones is not allowed to practice Taoism?

"No." Wang Yuanwai said, "He agreed later because I took out the remaining silver and told him that as long as he went up the mountain to practice Taoism, he would get this much money every month, and I promised to return it back home."

His father was addicted to alcohol, and drinking was expensive. The silver he earned from chopping wood in a day was not even enough for him to buy two taels of the lowest quality liquor. When he saw such a good opportunity, he naturally accepted it without thinking.

"No wonder." Chu Huaizhou straightened his pale lips and said without any emotion: "After you left, your father could only force Madam Ru to cook, and she suffered a miscarriage because of the overwork and busyness."

Wang Yuanwai was surprised, and his sad tears stopped flowing. The emotions in his eyes trembled violently, and he couldn't help shaking and let out a frightened and miserable laugh, "You...how did you know?"

"I noticed it the first time I saw you." Chu Huaizhou said with a cold expression as usual, as if he didn't care much about human life: "There is a lot of evil and gloomy energy on your forehead."

"It was not until I entered here that I discovered that it was the unborn fetus in her belly. Not only did it hate that father very much, it also hated you. That's why the evil spirit surrounded you and it took a long time to dissipate."

"For so many years, if you hadn't been protected by the golden miasma of the purple copper gilded cauldron, your blood and energy would have been sucked clean by this evil ghost fetus."

"Yes, less than four months after I went to the mountain, Madam Ru had a miscarriage." Wang Yuanwai said, "At that time, my father wrote a letter to persuade me to go back."

"I don't want to go back. I have many friends in the outer sect of Biluoyundian. They are friends regardless of their birth, status or money. I don't want to go back to that poor and dirty village where everyone looks down on me."

Having seen the vast sea and sky and the free flock of birds, no one would be willing to return to that poor cage.

"So I asked a friend to write a letter for me, rejecting his request on the grounds that I had gone down the mountain to gain experience. Later, I gave him a portion of the extra monthly salary, and my father stayed quiet for half a year."

"He wrote to me again and again, saying that there was an evil spirit in his house and that he couldn't sleep well. I was unmoved and just sent more money back."

"This time he didn't last three months. He wrote me another letter asking me to go back. He mentioned my mother in his words. He was using her to threaten me."

"I couldn't let go of my mother, so I could only ask the Pavilion Master and the Immortal Lord who brought me up the mountain to leave the mountain on the pretext that something unexpected had happened at home."

"This time, the Immortal King just sighed with regret, but he also let me go very readily. Although I felt a little weird, I didn't have time to think too much. I just thought that he probably found someone better and more talented than me."

"I returned to that small village and lived a poor and idle life chopping wood for money. Just two days after arriving home, several strange things happened."

"First, after the miscarriage, Mrs. Ru woke up every day and said that the bed was covered in blood, blood was everywhere, and there was a baby crying."

"Then there was my drunkard father. He kept talking to himself, saying don't kill me, and that there was a half-human, half-ghost creature that was haunting him day and night and wanted him to pay with his life."

"The last one was my mother. What happened to her was not that terrible. I just heard a child laughing and crying in the middle of the night."

Wang Yuanwai sighed, "It's my fault that I didn't learn the art well enough to realize what kind of evil spirit was causing trouble. I had to cover the whole hut with the cauldron, and then I lived in peace for a while."

"Then, I accidentally learned that Madam Ru was going to escape, and you all know what happened afterwards."

He looked at Chu Huaizhou and said, "After listening to the words of this immortal, I suddenly realized that the evil spirit that was causing trouble must be the evil spirit transformed from the unborn fetus in Madam Ru's belly, right?"
