I was so frightened by Xuan Zhenzi's words that I shivered all over. When I recalled the life experience of this devil, the fear in my heart became even deeper, and I said in a trembling voice,
"Since you know it is a scourge, why let it be born?"
Xuan Zhenzi said nothing and glanced at Master Mingtong next to him.
Master Mingtong put his hands together and said Amitabha, "The demon fetus was born with grievances. Not only did it inherit Widow Chen's hostility, but it also killed its biological father when it was born. It survived by chewing the flesh and blood of its biological father. It is indeed one of the best in the world." evil thing."
But correspondingly, only this evil thing can completely solve the troubles in Shura's Tomb.
I was dumbfounded and looked at them with a puzzled face, asking what the plans of these old men were.
Master Mingtong sighed, "There is a terrible evil spirit sealed under Shura's tomb. This evil spirit does not belong to our world, and it cannot be completely eliminated. We can only try to find a container to transfer this evil spirit to Only within the container can we ensure that it will not continue to spread.”
And this demon fetus is the container used by Xuan Zhenzi and Master Mingtong to seal it.
"What?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but jump up and yelled, "In other words, you deliberately allowed this evil fetus to be born?"
"yes!"
Xuan Zhenzi nodded and said in a cold tone, "I have expected what happened to the Qin family a long time ago. Not only me, but the old monk also predicted its birth in advance."
Although they had expected that the Qin family would give birth to this demon fetus, they had no intention of stopping it, because only this demon fetus could become the "container" for the seal.
I was greatly surprised, looked at Xuan Zhenzi and Master Mingtong with incredible eyes, and murmured,
"No wonder you never took action to stop the Qin family's affairs. Instead, you handed over such a difficult problem to me and Huizhen. It turns out that you had no intention of stopping it at all..."
Master Mingtong sighed, "There is nothing we can do about it. As early as thirty years ago, we were sure that the Qin family would suffer this disaster. Since it was a disaster, we were destined to not be able to avoid it, even if Brother Dao and I really intervened. , and it is impossible to prevent this from happening.”
Xuan Zhenzi added, "What's more, the birth of the demon fetus can help us solve the trouble under Shura's tomb, so there is no need to stop it."
I don’t know how to describe my feelings. I just recall the tragedy that happened at Qin’s house and I feel that it was all too cruel.
Xuan Zhenzi patted my forehead and said with a serious face, "This is the cause and effect that the Qin family is destined to bear. Unless external forces can intervene, even though I am a Taoist, I have no ability to reverse it."
I smiled bitterly and said, "What is the reincarnation of karma? I don't understand these big principles. I just can't figure it out. Why is Father Qin such a good person destined to bear this kind of karma?"
Master Mingtong said leisurely, "Cause and destiny are not created by one generation. It's only strange that the ancestors of the Qin family should not touch that taboo... Alas, as the descendants of the 'Eight Meridians', they cannot avoid this. cause and effect."
etc!
I trembled all over, raised my head in disbelief and said, "The Qin family is also after the 'Eight Meridians'?"
"That's right."
Xuan Zhenzi nodded and glanced at me with inexplicably complicated eyes.
"These eight aristocratic families have been in existence since the end of the Han Dynasty and have lasted for more than a thousand years. They were once extremely prosperous and were known as the oldest practicing families, accounting for half of the world of magic."
But when the moon is full, it will be full, and when the water is full, it will overflow. With the changes of the times, the eight major families have completely declined.
"Although the descendants of these eight families have no good end, the secrets they are responsible for guarding still exist. The debts owed by the ancestors need to be repaid by the descendants. The devil fetus is the product of the fate of the Qin family."
Xuan Zhenzi’s words revealed a lot of mysteries, and they reminded me of my own life experience.
Before his death, Taigong once said that the Wang family where my mother lived was also one of the "Eight Meridians". It was precisely because of the fate of our ancestors that we suffered the tragedy of annihilation eighteen years ago.
This is also my destiny.
Xuan Zhenzi guessed what I was thinking, tapped me on the head, and said seriously,
"People can't choose their own birth, but they can decide how they live in the future. Since God arranged your birth, your existence naturally has the value and meaning of your existence. Okay, let's not talk about these for now, let's discuss how to solve the trouble of Shura's Tomb. "
Then he changed the subject, pointed at the demon fetus under the sarcophagus, and said in an unquestionable tone,
"You pick up the magic fetus first. I need to use it to complete the final step of the seal. I will tell you what to do when the time comes."
"Why should I go?"
I panicked and shook my head vigorously. This bastard was so evil. I trembled when I saw him and refused to say anything.
Xuan Zhenzi slapped me on the forehead again,
"Don't you think your life experience is very similar to that of a demon fetus? You have participated in the entire process of the demon fetus's birth. In this life, you are destined to have many grievances and disputes."
Xuan Zhenzi’s words made me even more confused. What kind of quarrel could I have with this bastard?
Perhaps it is because we are both descendants of the "Eight Meridians". After I learned about the Demon Fetus's life experience, my rejection of him became much smaller. Finally, at Xuan Zhenzi's urging, I walked towards the sarcophagus and wrapped my arms in red. The baby was taken out from under the cloth.
Although it is a demon fetus, this little thing has just been born. Apart from being full of evil spirits, it is indistinguishable from ordinary babies.
The demon fetus didn't cry or make a fuss. He just lay quietly in my arms, not even turning his eyes, and always looked straight at me.
I was numb, and I felt like what I was holding in my arms was not a baby at all, but more like a time bomb that might jump up and bite me at any time.
Xuan Zhenzi saw through my thoughts and glanced at me with a half-smile. He quickly regained his serious expression, turned his eyes to Master Mingtong and Huang Linggong, and said coldly,
"Everything is ready, and there is only one last step left. We only have this chance. If the transfer fails and the evil energy under Shura's tomb leaks, I am afraid that there will be no life for hundreds of miles around. Are you all mentally prepared?"
Master Mingtong proclaimed the name of the Buddha, "Amitabha, if I don't go to hell, who will? If I didn't have the intention of sacrificing my life to become a benevolent person, the old monk wouldn't have come all the way here."
Huang Linggong snorted coldly and said, "Oh no, after waiting for this moment for thirty years, it's time for us to understand. But the ugly thing is up front. After sealing this evil spirit, the things under the coffin must be Leave it to me!"
Xuan Zhenzi laughed evilly, "It's a hot potato if you keep that thing. If you want it, I'll give it to you."
Several old men said something that Huizhen and I couldn't understand, and it felt like every word was full of mystery.
I don't understand what they are discussing, but my intuition tells me that the secrets involved under Shura's tomb may be far more than what they seem.
It’s just that Huizhen and I were too immature at that time and were not qualified to access these secrets.
