Chapter 444 Past
There were only three people in the ward: Yan Qing, Yang Fan, and Taoist Xuan Yue. The little white tiger lay in Yang Fan's arms, feeling that the atmosphere was a little weird. It looked up at Yang Fan, then at Taoist Xuan Yue, and then secretly glanced at Yan Qing, not daring to make a sound.

The atmosphere is weird.

"Master, did the evil ghost you encountered more than ten years ago come from the Abyss of the Netherworld?"

After a long while, Yan Qing finally spoke. As soon as he opened his mouth, he threw out two questions, "Grandmaster, do you know the reason why that girl's fate suddenly changed today?"

"I hope you will not hide anything from me and answer my questions directly."

His intuition told him that these things were related. Grandma Xu and the others had said before that Yang Fan had stayed in Sanqing Palace for a period of time when he was a child, but he grew up in a Taoist temple and had no memory of Yang Fan having ever been to a Taoist temple.

Even the other disciples didn't know about this.

He wanted to know the truth. It was a very uncomfortable feeling to be kept in the dark.

Taoist Xuan Yue glanced at Yang Fan, then looked at Yan Qing and sighed, "It's time to tell you. You will also need to know these things when you take over Sanqing Palace in the future."

Yang Fan lowered his eyes and said nothing. He just raised his hand and threw out a soundproofing note.

Yan Qing raised his eyes and looked at Taoist Xuan Yue, waiting for him to speak.

Taoist Xuan Yue leaned softly against the back of the bed, his eyes full of nostalgia, and the past scenes emerged clearly in front of him, "The story begins five hundred years before the creation of the Netherworld Abyss."

Five hundred years ago, the balance between Yin and Yang was lost, evil spirits and demons were wreaking havoc, and the people were living in misery.

The most ferocious among them is the Ghost Mother who is at the level of Ghost King and commands hundreds of ghosts. In addition to living on sucking human blood, she also likes to give birth to ghosts and devour them to improve her cultivation.

As time went by, she discovered that the ghosts born from her union with the ghosts had low cultivation and were of little value.

So she turned her attention to living people and demons, hoping to give birth to the most advanced demon to improve her own cultivation, and eventually cultivate into a ghost god.

After countless experiments, she finally gave birth to twins after marrying a poor scholar. Both ghosts were born at the level of Ghost King, and one of them even had signs of becoming a Ghost Emperor.

Once she eats the two devils, she will be able to cultivate into a ghost god. As long as she becomes a ghost god, there will be no one in the world who can match her.

But just when she was about to devour the two devils, something unexpected happened. A rich girl who was on the list of scholars going to Beijing to take the imperial examinations sent a killer to kill the devil mother.

The Ghost Mother is at her weakest when giving birth, and her strength is only at the level of a fierce ghost. Despite this, she is more than capable of dealing with a few ordinary people, but the noise she made when she gave birth was too loud, which attracted nearby monks.

During the fight with those monks, the Ghost Mother could only take away the one with the highest cultivation level, and another one at the Ghost King level was abandoned in the chaos.

When the monks were about to kill the abandoned devil, the devil suddenly cried out, attracting countless evil spirits around.

There were so many evil ghosts that the monks were unable to defeat them and had to flee in defeat. They informed all the monks of the ghosts’ coming and hunted down the ghost mother and the ghosts.

Although these things are slightly different from what Su Chunyang and others said before, the overall situation is basically the same.

But Taoist Xuan Yue’s next words made Yan Qing’s brain crash.

"Your ancestor Yang Fan is the abandoned devil."

Yan Qing: ???
He looked at Yang Fan in shock, so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Yang Fan turned around and grinned at him, "Surprised or not? Unexpected or not."

The smile that seemed perfectly normal, however, looked sinister in Yan Qing's eyes. It was so creepy that the hairs on his body stood up and he was speechless for a long time.

Seeing the rare frightened expression on Yan Qing's face, Taoist Xuan Yue felt a little nostalgic.

In the past, this child was always scared by him, and it was so funny to see him crying.

But after I learned some magic, I had a sullen face all day long, which was not fun at all.

The little white tiger looked at them in confusion. It couldn't quite understand what they were saying. It only heard words like "Yang Fan was very powerful".

"Your ancestor Yang Fan wandered in the mortal world for five years. He went to the mountains at the age of five, entered Taoism at the age of six, and became famous at the age of twelve for killing several ghost generals and top-level evil ghosts with a single move of talismans. At the age of sixteen, he killed the Ghost King with a single sword..."

When talking about Yang Fan's past, Taoist Xuan Yue knew it like the back of his hand. He still clearly remembers the scene when Yang Fan arrived at Sanqing Palace on his first day.

He was fifteen years old that year. Although he was the second senior brother, he was the third youngest among his eight brothers.

Their master, Taoist Xuancheng, is world-famous for his profound Taoist knowledge and his medical skills that can bring the dead back to life.

When Yang Fan went up the mountain, it was around the time of Grain Rain and it was raining heavily. She was only five years old at that time and looked like a three or four-year-old child. She walked barefoot in the heavy rain, carrying an "old man" on her back from a remote mountain village, step by step to Sanqing Mountain, and climbed from the foot of Sanqing Mountain all the way to the gate of Sanqing Palace.

Her body was covered in rain and blood, and was covered with wounds of varying sizes. Her clothes were torn and the wounds on her feet were so deep that the bones were visible. However, the 'old man' on her back had no other wounds except for a scar on his neck and some minor abrasions.

No one knows how she did it, a child carrying a lifeless "old man" on her back, walking step by step from a remote mountain village to the foot of Sanqing Mountain and then climbing to the Sanqing Palace at an altitude of more than 1,500 meters.

The road up the mountain was rugged and complicated, it was raining non-stop, and there were birds and beasts in the forest.

She was a little girl the size of a bean. She placed the lifeless old man on the ground and knelt in front of her master.

In the rain, the little baby's voice and body were shaking, but his bright eyes were full of pleading and hope. He clung to his master's clothes tightly like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.

She said, "Please save my grandma. I am willing to exchange my life for another's. Please! Save my grandma!"

She confessed her identity as a devil to the people who were chasing her, and was willing to exchange her life for another, just to ask the master to save her grandmother.

That was the first time they met Yang Fan. She went up the mountain to ask her master to save her grandmother. From that day on, there was a little sister with a special identity in the Taoist temple.

……

The more Yan Qing listened, the more familiar it felt. Aren't these the life experiences of Grandmaster Qi Ming? As a little fan of Qi Ming, he could recite all the deeds of Qi Ming recorded in Sanqing Palace by heart.

Why are Yang Fan and Qi Ming’s stories highly similar?

"…At the age of 25, he sacrificed his life to create the Netherworld to trap evil spirits and pacify the Yin and Yang worlds."

When Taoist Xuan Yue said this, he felt that the air around him was a little thin, making him a little breathless.
