Chapter 1: That sickly guy is actually a master of metaphysics?
This family has a long tradition of metaphysics, with generations dedicated to the field.
This era produced many talented individuals, most of whom maintained close relationships with the powerful, wealthy, and famous, while only a small number lived in seclusion in the mountains.
A family of metaphysicians, passed down internally.
They place great emphasis on moral cultivation and must not abuse their power or seek personal gain.
The Ji family's lineage can be traced back to ancient times. Over the centuries, it has developed into a prominent family in Liancheng.
Ji Huaizhi was the eldest son of the Ji family, and his destiny was predicted to be special at birth.
They say he won't live past 28.
"Senior Brother Ji, why are you up?" The handsome young man ran over and looked at Ji Huaizhi with concern.
Ji Huaizhi, wearing a charcoal gray sweater, was throwing fish food into the pond.
The man was thin, yet that did not diminish his otherworldly appearance; his pale, sickly face added a touch of fragility to his delicate features.
"I came out for some fresh air."
"But your body..." can't get cold.
The junior brother didn't say what he was going to say next, because his senior brother hated it most when people mentioned his health.
"It's nothing. What brings you here?" Ji Huaizhi asked indifferently.
"The master said he wants you to go to the front hall after lunch."
The junior brother looked at the koi carp fighting for food in the pond, and then at his senior brother standing on the side.
I noticed that he had a kind of aloofness that seemed untouched by worldly affairs.
He was like a cool and aloof gentleman who had stepped out of a painting.
"knew."
Ji Huaizhi felt a chill even in his sweater; everyone else was wearing just a single layer of clothing, while the original owner of this body was so sickly…
~
The original owner was predicted by the head of the Ji family to not live past 28 years old when she was born. The Ji family tried to find a solution, but it seemed to be unsuccessful.
The original owner was exceptionally intelligent, displaying a talent for metaphysics even at a young age.
However, his fate was unsolvable, and he was sent to a Taoist temple in Wan'an Mountain when he was 6 years old.
In the beginning, the Ji family often sent things up or sent people to check on things.
During holidays, they would send someone to pick up the original owner and take her back for a meal, but the original owner was weak and the journey was bumpy, so she couldn't get up for several days after each trip down the mountain.
This habit, which he had since birth, changed his personality.
Later, Ji's father and mother had two more children, and the original owner never went down the mountain again.
He lived peacefully in Wan'an Mountain for nearly twenty years.
The Taoist priest and his fellow disciples all treated him very well. His master often took care of him, and gradually, the original owner accepted the Taoist temple as a big family.
I never expected that someone would still value my broken body.
When the original owner was in the Taoist temple, everyone there was willing to pamper her. Even if a junior Taoist priest got a piece of candy, he would give it to her.
This is also why the original owner was able to live comfortably in the Taoist temple.
Gradually, the resentment I had towards my parents dissipated.
Since I won't live past 28, I'll just take everything in stride.
But one day, news came from the Ji family that Ji Huaizhi was to return to the Ji family to attend Master Ji's birthday banquet.
The original owner had already accepted being abandoned and was prepared to spend the rest of her life in a Taoist temple.
But this return amplified the resentment in the original owner's heart, hastening his death.
Ji Huaiming was born two years after Ji Huaishang went up the mountain. Later, Ji's parents had another daughter, Ji Huaiyuan.
The two were deeply loved by the Ji family, a large and influential family.
Ji Huaiming is also quite outstanding in metaphysics. Before that, he and his sister did not know that they had an older brother named Ji Huaizhi.
However, when he was almost an adult, he was diagnosed with a heart problem and needed a heart transplant.
So Ji Huaiming had his fortune told.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that he had an older brother, and the hope for survival lay in this older brother whom he had never met.
When Ji's father found out, he also had his fortune told again, and to his surprise, it turned out to be true.
Surprisingly, the only hope for survival lay with Ji Huaizhi.
Under questioning from their son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Ji revealed the name of their eldest son, a person they had never mentioned at home before.
It was also said that he was destined not to live past the age of twenty-eight.
After learning about this, Ji Huaiyuan suggested giving the original owner's heart to her brother, which would make everyone happy.
Since the original owner wouldn't live past 28 anyway, let the original owner do one last thing for the Ji family.
This way, we can make the best use of the resources.
Her words resonated with the others, and since it just so happened that Master Ji's birthday was approaching, they invited the original owner of this body down the mountain to attend the birthday banquet.
The original owner hadn't received any news from home for a long time. He knew that because of his broken body, his family had abandoned him and chosen to forget him.
However, he was still very happy when he received the news.
After all, that was the family affection he longed for most.
He thought they didn't want to see him at all.
But when he got there, he discovered that they wanted his heart.
Everyone advised him that since he didn't have much time left, he should save his younger brother, as the future prosperity of the family would depend on Ji Huaiming.
Apart from his uncle, everyone in the Ji family was morally blackmailing him, forcing him to offer up his heart.
It's as if if he disagrees, he's disloyal, unjust, unkind, and unfilial.
Only his younger uncle was arguing with the assembled scholars on his behalf.
Ji Huaiyuan, in particular, looked at Ji Huaizhi as if he were an object.
He even said that since my brother can use your heart, it's your good fortune.
If it weren't for the life force in you, it wouldn't have been your turn. I don't know if your illness will affect my brother.
The original owner was furious. Although he was indifferent, it didn't mean he wouldn't be sad or angry.
He directly retaliated against Ji Huaiyuan, but was stopped by Ji Huaiming.
At this point, Ji Huaiming even said: "I never thought about taking your heart. I just didn't want my parents and sister to worry. You are being unfilial by pressuring my parents like this."
When Ji's parents heard this, they thought Ji Huaiming was very sensible.
Seeing the original owner's indifferent attitude, he panicked and blurted out, "We gave you your life, so what if you hand over your heart before you die?"
This is your own younger brother!
How can you be so insensible?
You're about to die, why are you unwilling to contribute to the Ji family?
The original owner laughed instead of getting angry after hearing this. So this was the reason why he was sent down the mountain.
They're sending him to his death prematurely.
I don't want to wait until he's 28.
The junior brother who accompanied the original owner down the mountain overheard everything and immediately started fighting with the Ji family.
However, the junior brother lost the fight and said he would complain to the master and take the original owner up the mountain.
They never expected that the original owner, a sickly fellow, would be favored in the Taoist temple. In order to prevent this junior brother from leaking information, Ji's father placed a forbidden spell on him.
Fearing trouble from the Taoist temple, they planned to release the person after the transplant surgery was completed.
Unexpectedly, this junior brother eventually died in the Ji family, and no one knows exactly how he died.
Using the Reincarnation Technique, I saw what my junior brother was like before his death. It turned out that he had a life-saving pill on him, which was found by the Ji family.
Ji Huaiyuan saw it and tried to snatch it, saying she wanted to give it to her brother.
However, the junior brother refused, saying that the Taoist priest had instructed him to give this life-saving pill to the original owner in case of any accidents.
After hearing this, Ji Huaiyuan said many unpleasant things.
During the struggle between the two, Ji Huaiyuan ordered the others to use excessive force, and her junior brother was seriously injured.
Ji Huaiyuan was terrified when she saw this, so she grabbed the life-saving pill and ran away, not caring whether he lived or died.
Before her reincarnation technique ended, her junior brother saw a dark figure approaching before he closed his eyes, with a burn scar on its outstretched hand.
The original owner was so angry that he fell ill and was bedridden.
Just as he was about to send a message to the Taoist temple, his uncle Ji Yao arrived.
He told the original owner that the reason you were born so sickly was because of your uncle's karma.
And now, you have to offer your own heart to save your brother.
You were born to bear the karma of the Ji family, and you have spent your whole life atoning for their sins.
When the original owner found out, he vomited blood and his body was about to collapse, but his uncle supported him again.
It was at this moment that Ji Huaizhi noticed the burn scars on his hands.
Ji Yao didn't care and told him that he had a reason for killing the people in the Taoist temple, and that he could also break the original owner's fate.
