Chapter 17 The Truth
"Of course we can't let him come back to life directly. Didn't that weird woman say that the child's soul was sealed in the black cat?"
I nodded and said, that's what the woman said.
"She is right. I saw that cat in your house twelve years ago."
Master said that I almost died twelve years ago. He could tell that it was actually my parents who did it, but they didn't understand these techniques. It was probably my uncle Tan Qingshan who did it.
Master said that he passed by our house at that time and saw that I was dying and that two of my three souls were gone. He also saw from my face that I was adopted, so he took action to force my soul back.
Then he notified the local City God that someone wanted to change his destiny against heaven. In addition to being responsible for extraditing ghosts, the Yin City God also had another important responsibility, which was to monitor whether people in the Yang world had acted out of character.
Once discovered by the Yins, such things as borrowing one's life to change one's life will definitely be stopped immediately. Once it happens, it will disrupt the order of Yin and Yang, and in serious cases, it will affect the three realms and six realms.
Therefore, throughout the ages, few people have succeeded in borrowing their lives. Even if they have succeeded, they must have registered it in the underworld, and the price they paid is unimaginable.
The master's actions, coupled with the interference of the Yins City God, Gu Weiqing's dream of resurrecting his son was shattered.
In fact, it was just Tan Qingshan who deceived them, and it was impossible to resurrect their son.
But they never gave up, until this time they thought they had seized the opportunity, but unexpectedly they risked their own lives.
The master said that at that time, he had already seen that the soul of a child had been sealed in the black cat, and that the child's soul had almost merged with the black cat.
He reminded Gu Weiqing that doing so would harm his longevity, but instead of listening, Gu Weiqing scolded my master.
"Then that black cat has lived for more than ten years?" I swallowed my saliva. A normal cat's lifespan is not that long. It is a thief to be too old to die.
The master nodded and said: "Yes, it has been at least ten years. Although they cannot directly resurrect the child, they can force the soul sealed in the black cat out, and then find a recently deceased person to possess him.
If I take your life in exchange, the City God of Yinsi will turn a blind eye."
My teeth chattered, my whole body trembled, and I felt instantly disgusted by their upbringing.
I felt that for so many years, I was actually a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, kept in captivity by them, and when the time came, they would kill me in exchange for their son's life.
Fortunately, I was so sad before, but now I just feel full of resentment. I am just a substitute. If I didn't have this effect, Gu Weiqing should have driven me away long ago, right?
But my adoptive mother was pretty good to me, even though she was a woman and couldn't decide anything.
"So, does this all happen just because my adoptive parents wanted to resurrect their son?" I sniffed and suddenly felt relaxed.
Maybe I am truly carefree now.
"No...your parents...the adoptive parents are not that capable of making that person do these things. Maybe they are just being used as pawns." The master shook his head.
I whispered: "Could it be that helping them resurrect their son was a lie from beginning to end? Is it just that the people behind the scenes want to use their hands to trap me?"
"You're not stupid. That's how it should be. That's why you asked me what I know before. I didn't tell you because there is indeed such a bad relationship between you and your adoptive parents. I can't just let it go.
When you get started, you should say that you were adopted by your parents, right?"
I was speechless and felt that everything suddenly became clear to me.
"But what does this have to do with their forced marriage to Liu Qian'er?"
"According to my teacher's speculation, this is actually the same thing. Liu Qian'er was indeed taken away from her soul. The purpose of this should be to let her get close to you, and let Tan Qingshan use the harmony technique to combine the two of you.
When the horoscopes of yours are put together, your horoscope is Double Ninth, and her horoscope is Yin, when they are put together, it is the blending of yin and yang, the harmony of dragon and phoenix."
"It's just that he didn't expect that Liu Qian'er was not an ordinary person. She would actually break the situation with her death, which disrupted this person's overall plan. As a result, what happened next was beyond his expectation. He didn't expect that I would kill him.
You accepted me under my sect, so I wanted to use a hundred ghosts to make you surrender."
"Who is he?" My heart was pounding. I just felt that the person behind this was so terrifying. He had been planning this since I was a child.
"Now if you follow me to meet someone, you will know everything." The master stood up and walked outside the City God's Temple.
"Tan Qingshan!" I blurted out.
I thought carefully about the cause and effect of everything, and I felt that the mastermind behind it was my uncle Tan Qingshan.
It was he who combined my horoscopes and those of Liu Qian'er, and he was the one who beguiled Gu Weiqing and others, saying that they could use my life to resurrect their son.
But what is his purpose in doing this? Even if Liu Qianer and I become husband and wife, what good will it do to him?
With these questions in mind, Master and I walked towards the village where Tan Qingshan lived.
Before leaving, Master smiled at Li Guohua and said, "You did a good job, Baiyunguan will take note of it."
Li Guohua still smiled like a fool.
I got on my crappy motorcycle, took my master and rushed towards Yuhuang Village.
Tan Qingshan lives in Yuhuang Village. He is very famous in the local area because he knows Feng Shui and horoscopes. He can make a lot of money a year just by choosing days and cemeteries for others.
Moreover, he also adopted four or five godsons. They all said that Tan Duangong was a living god, and he was praised as a god by outsiders.
Tan Qingshan's family lives in a small villa on the roadside, which is easy to find.
It was eleven o'clock in the middle of the night when Master and I arrived. It was pitch dark outside. Master asked me to walk there when we were still two hundred meters away from Tan Qingshan's house.
There was a hill next to his house, and the master whispered: "Where's the lantern?"
