The Demonic Taoist Priest Emerges from the Mountain

My dad's feeling was right.

After my mother responded to Master Qin.

He suddenly let out a chilling laugh.

He turned around and looked at my mother with a somewhat distorted expression.

Are you talking to me?

Qin Sanye's voice was icy.

Those eyes were even colder.

My mother was terrified.

He quickly took two steps back.

With a sinister smile, Third Master Qin approached my mother step by step.

Give me the child you're holding!

He said it coldly.

My mother held me tightly, shaking her head and backing away.

Master Qin seemed to be angry.

He roared, "Give it to me!"

That sound almost scared my mother out of her wits.

Although her body was trembling, her hands holding me were very steady.

The veins on Qin Sanye's forehead bulged.

He doesn't take the initiative when he sees my mother.

He suddenly reached out to grab me from my mother's arms.

At this critical moment.

A black stick suddenly struck Qin Sanye on the back of the head.

The blow was so powerful that it made Master Qin stagger.

Looking back.

It turned out to be my father.

My father was holding a hoe in his hand, standing behind Master Qin with a look of terror on his face.

"Are you looking for death?"

Qin Sanye's brows twitched incessantly, his anger surging.

However, he didn't go after my father. Instead, he quickly turned around and grabbed at me from my mother's arms.

This time, the speed was very fast.

I don't know where my mother got her quick reflexes.

She turned her back the instant Qin Sanye reached out his hand.

She used her flesh and blood to block me.

However, that hand passed right through my mother's body.

Warm blood fell onto my face.

"cinnamon!"

My father let out a heart-wrenching scream.

And at this time.

It was exactly twelve o'clock.

"Squeak!"

The gate outside the courtyard was pushed open.

When Third Master Qin arrived late and saw the scene in the main room, the package in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

"You wicked creature! How dare you harm people in broad daylight!"

Master Qin's voice was as loud as a bell.

Immediately afterwards, he took three steps at a time and quickly headed towards the main room.

Seeing that his attack had failed and that the yang energy outside was recovering, and with Qin Sanye backing him up, the imposter immediately tried to escape.

But Master Qin's movements were too fast.

Before that thing could even make a move, a copper coin sword had already pierced its body.

Immediately afterwards, the thing roared, turned into black smoke, and vanished in an instant.

Instead of chasing after them, Third Master Qin squatted down to check on my mother's condition.

In the end, he shook his head helplessly.

My father burst into tears.

Third Master Qin took out a Red Plum cigarette and silently lit it.

After finishing a cigarette.

Finally, Master Qin spoke.

"I am sorry for your loss."

Third Master Qin patted my father on the shoulder, then changed the subject.

"I've found a way to save your child, but it's very risky. If it works, your child can live to eighteen; if it doesn't, they'll die on the spot. Do you want to try?"

Upon hearing what Master Qin said, my father forgot about crying and looked up at Master Qin.

"Only eighteen years?"

He asked.

Master Qin nodded.

"If it succeeds, your child will have eighteen years to slowly absorb the water element's energy, and there might be a glimmer of hope for the future."

"So, the decision is yours."

After saying that, Master Qin walked out and picked up his tattered bundle.

When I came back, my father was already holding me in his arms.

"Third Master, I'm entrusting this to you!"

As he spoke, he handed me to Master Qin.

Without saying much, Third Master Qin carried me into the bedroom.

He locked the door and then pulled a stack of talismans from the package.

He carefully pasted all the talismans in the room.

He didn't miss any of the gaps.

Only after he had done all that did he return to the bedside.

As if by magic, seven nails of different lengths and thicknesses appeared.

"Child, this is the Soul-Concealing Nail. It will conceal your three souls, preventing them from being detected by the Heavenly Dao."

"However, using it is very dangerous, and I'm not confident in its effectiveness."

"If we fail, don't blame me. The cause and effect between us will end here."

"If it succeeds, you will become a soulless person. I will do my best to raise you and try my best to help you through the ordeal of death."

"If you agree, nod. If you don't, then forget it."

Third Master Qin looked at me on the bed.

I was only a tiny little kid back then, so I couldn't possibly understand what he was saying.

Like a lost soul, I instinctively moved closer to the bedside, wanting to press down on myself as a newborn.

But before I could do anything...

The tiny version of myself on the bed actually nodded!

Master Qin laughed heartily.

Then they brought out cinnabar and a brush, stripped me naked, and began to paint on my body.

I can't understand these runes at all.

Half an hour later, my body was covered with dense runes.

Strangely, there were seven thumb-sized empty spaces left behind me.

Third Master Qin flipped me over.

Looking at the seven empty spaces, he pulled out a nail, aimed it at one of the spots, and stabbed it in hard.

It hurt just looking at it, and I instinctively closed my eyes.

But after waiting for a long time, I still didn't hear myself cry.

He opened his eyes curiously.

The nail, as if made of ice and snow, melted the instant it touched my body.

The same applies to the remaining six nails.

After Master Qin drove all seven nails into my body.

He sat down on the edge of the bed as if all his strength had been drained.

But those eyes were always fixed on me.

He was observing.

Waiting.

Waiting for a result.

Another ten minutes or so passed.

I burst into tears on the bed.

Master Qin suddenly stood up, his eyes revealing excitement.

"It's done!"

He was very excited and immediately carried me out the door.

My dad saw me crying loudly and rushed over to greet me.

"Third Master..."

He was somewhat hesitant to ask.

Master Qin laughed heartily and said, "Your child wasn't destined to die; he borrowed eighteen years from Heaven!"

Hearing this, my father breathed a sigh of relief.

However, there was a hint of weariness between his brows.

I was destined to live only eighteen years, and my mother passed away.

I could tell what my dad was feeling.

After hesitating for a moment, Third Master Qin finally decided to speak.

"If you want your child to live to be a hundred, have him stay with me for the next eighteen years, but you are not allowed to see him even once. I will teach him all my skills. Whether he can overcome this calamity in the future depends on himself. Is that acceptable?"

Hearing this, my father hesitated again.

This time, he remained silent for a long time.

However, he eventually agreed, since following Master Qin would give me a better chance of survival.

Third Master Qin carried me away.

Before leaving, he gave my father one last instruction.

Tomorrow I will bury my mother. In the coffin, I will put a wooden doll the size of a baby, and on this wooden doll, I will put a lock of my hair, so that it can die in my place.

My father agreed, and as we were leaving the house, he called out to Third Master Qin.

"Third Master, let's name the child Qin Fang from now on. Please, Heaven, have mercy on him!"
