Chapter 17: The Cold Buddhist Son vs. the Indulgent Princess (17)



Taoist Qingshan knew that Mr. Gu would come to the Taoist temple to invite him sooner or later. The seeds planted twenty years ago should now bear fruit.

"Mr. Gu and I are old friends. If you have anything to say, please speak directly. If I can help, I will definitely help you solve the problem."

"Thank you so much, Taoist Priest!"

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were delighted and quickly bowed to Taoist Qingshan to express their gratitude.

After inviting Taoist Qingshan to take a seat, Mr. Gu told him about Gu Yunchuan with some embarrassment, and then looked at Taoist Qingshan opposite him with anticipation.

"To be honest, our Gu family only has this one son. If this impotence can't be cured, our Gu family's incense will be cut off!"

When Master Gu mentioned this, his eyes turned red and he said with deep sorrow, "Master, please show me a way forward. I will be very grateful!"

"Yes, Taoist priest, please show us a way forward. We are willing to pay any amount of money as long as you can protect the only incense of our Gu family!"

Mrs. Gu also agreed and spent a lot of money to buy a clear way out for Taoist Qingshan.

Taoist Qingshan was not surprised by this. He stroked his beard and said calmly, "Who said the Gu family only has this one bloodline?"

"Good for you, Gu Chengyin, you really did leave a child outside without telling me!"

Mrs. Gu lost her composure as soon as she heard this and started to strangle Mr. Gu.

"Madam, I'm wronged! I'm wronged! If I had a child outside, would I still worry that the Gu family's incense would be cut off?"

Mr. Gu quickly raised his hands to cover his face and kept shouting his innocence, but Mrs. Gu refused to give in and believed that Mr. Gu was lying to her.

Watching the farce unfold before his eyes, Taoist Qingshan said, "Mrs. Gu has misunderstood. I meant the child you abandoned in front of the Fo'an Temple twenty years ago."

Mrs. Gu's hand froze in mid-air, and Mr. Gu's eyes widened.

It happened so long ago that they had already forgotten it.

If Taoist Qingshan hadn't mentioned it today, they would have forgotten that they had a child.

"What does Taoist Qingshan mean? Didn't you say that the child was born with a defect and was doomed to fail?"

Mr. Gu looked at Taoist Qingshan in shock, waiting for his explanation.

Twenty years ago, when my wife gave birth to her first child, a Taoist priest came to the house and said that the child was born with defects and was a jinx who would bring misfortune to his father and mother. If the child was kept by her side, the whole family would be destroyed.

At first, the two did not believe it, but after learning that the man was Taoist Qingshan of Qingyun Temple, they immediately believed his words without a doubt.

The two people who valued their lives hurriedly sought a solution from Taoist Qingshan. After learning that they could avoid the bloody disaster by throwing the child in front of the Fo'an Temple, the two people braved the snow and rushed to the Fo'an Temple that night. From then on, they pretended that they had never given birth to this child.

Now, twenty years have passed since this incident, and the two did not want to talk about it again, so the memory of it was gradually forgotten over time.

Now that Taoist Qingshan suddenly brought up the old matter, Mr. and Mrs. Gu were instantly worried.

Under their gaze, Taoist Qingshan said calmly, "Yes, he was indeed born with bad luck, but because he has spent nearly twenty years in the popular Fo'an Temple, the bad aura has long since faded, replaced by a body full of merit and Buddhist teachings."

After hearing that the evil spirit from the child had faded, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that it's gone, it's good that it's gone. This way, it won't hurt them anymore!

"But what does this have to do with Chuan'er?"

Mrs. Gu asked doubtfully.

Even though the evil spirit on that child has faded, he is still a sterilized person with congenital defects. He is of no help to Chuan'er or their Gu family, and only adds to their bad luck!

"The merits and Buddhist teachings he possesses can perfectly cure your impotence."

"real?"

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up, and they instantly saw a glimmer of usefulness in the child who made them feel ashamed.

Taoist Qingshan nodded slightly: "Not bad."

"Then, Taoist Priest, what should we do? How can we transfer his merits and Buddha affinity to Chuan'er?"

After learning that the merits and Buddhist teachings of the child they abandoned could cure Gu Yunchuan's impotence, Mr. and Mrs. Gu did not hesitate at all and immediately asked Taoist Qingshan what to do.

They looked like they would kidnap the child the next moment as long as Taoist Qingshan opened his mouth!

Taoist Qingshan stroked his beard and said, "This is easy to say. The child was sent to Fo'an Temple on the day of his birth. With the merits and Buddhist teachings I have accumulated over the past twenty years, it is no problem for me to cure your impotence."

"Just have him return to secular life on his twentieth birthday and bring him back home. I can then cast a spell to transfer his merits and Buddhist virtues. Remember, you must have him return to secular life on his twentieth birthday."

Taoist Qingshan emphasized it again after he finished speaking.

"Twentieth birthday? Master, what was the date of that child's birthday?"

Mrs. Gu thought for a long time but couldn't remember when the child they abandoned was born, so she turned to look at Mr. Gu.

Master Gu frowned and tried hard to recall a long-forgotten memory: "It seemed to be winter. I remember it seemed to be snowing that day. What day was it? Hiss, let me think, let me think."

Mr. Gu pulled his beard and tried hard to recall the past, but he still couldn't remember what day it was until his beard was almost pulled off.

At this moment, Taoist Qingshan spoke and accurately reported the time of that day.

"Jia Zi Xu Wu Yin."

Taoist Qingshan reported the child's birth date and time with his memory still fresh in his mind.

"Jia Zi Xu Wu Yin, yes, that's right, that's the time! Look at my memory, it's not working so well as I get older!"

Mr. Gu slapped his thigh excitedly.

"Jia Zi Xu Wu Yin, then, then isn't that tomorrow?"

Mrs. Gu grabbed Mr. Gu's hand on the table and looked at him anxiously.

After Mrs. Gu reminded him, Mr. Gu realized that tomorrow would be the day twenty years from now. "Oh, oh, oh, what should I do? It's too late!"

"It's still in time. Didn't Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu send their child off in front of the Fo'an Temple that very night twenty years ago?"

Taoist Qingshan kindly reminded me.

Back then, Mr. and Mrs. Gu believed what Taoist Qingshan said, and right after the baby was born, they braved the snow and carried the newborn baby to the Fo'an Temple. They rode at full speed all the way, and finally placed the baby at the gate of the Fo'an Temple before midnight.

Because she had just given birth and had been traveling all the way in freezing cold, Mrs. Gu fell seriously ill upon returning, which made her even more convinced that the child was a jinx who would bring misfortune to both his father and mother!

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu looked at each other.

"Then let's set off now to Foyan Temple and bring the child back!"
