◎Tied the reins of the evil spirits.◎
“Back then…”
Zhenyi still remembers the day when Pei Zhou brought his wife to Wuyin Temple.
The man was dressed in a tattered blue shirt and was apparently a very gentle and calm person, but that day, his eyes were full of sorrow and hatred.
Pei Zhou called Zhenyi his uncle. Before Zhenyi became a monk, he had a relationship with Pei Zhou and the two were old acquaintances.
Zhenyi naturally knew very well what happened to Pei Zhou.
Pei Zhou's wife is named Xia Yan, a maid who has been with him since childhood. The two have been childhood sweethearts, and when they grew up, they fell in love with each other and got married. They are a pair of lovers made in heaven.
However, there are always eight out of ten things in the world that are not satisfactory. Xia Yan became pregnant soon after her marriage, but Pei Zhou diagnosed that Xia Yan's constitution was not suitable for pregnancy. If she insisted on having a child, she would definitely hurt herself.
Pei Zhou did not want to keep the child, but Xia Yan did not want her husband to be childless, so she insisted on giving birth to the child.
Pei Zhou had no choice but to go to the Western Regions to look for an extremely rare medicinal herb to refine an elixir for Xia Yan to protect her.
It was this departure that brought about those disasters.
The Western Regions is the territory occupied by the Demon Cult. Although Pei Zhou is good at medicine, his martial arts are not top-notch.
He went to the Western Regions under an assumed name, and happened to see the Demon Cult slaughtering civilians and committing many atrocities. Pei Zhou was kind-hearted and could not bear to see others suffer, so he rescued those people.
He himself was captured by the Demon Cult. Seeing his excellent medical skills, the members of the Demon Cult took him to the Demon Cult's headquarters to meet the Holy Maiden.
"The Saint of this Demon Cult is not just a title, she is an independent branch of the Demon Cult, specializing in the art of making poisons. Every generation of Saints of the Demon Cult is a master of poisons, killing people without being seen."
The Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult at that time was named Hua Mei. Hua Mei had never seen such a handsome and elegant man from the Central Plains. Especially since Pei Zhou had superb medical skills and his personality was very different from those of the Demon Cult, Hua Mei fell in love with him at first sight.
Hua Mei made a request that as long as Pei Zhou stayed in the Demon Sect for two months and taught her the Central Plains medical skills, she would let him go.
Pei Zhou agreed.
At that time, Xia Yan was still waiting in Yaowang Valley and was four months pregnant.
Pei Zhou did not break the agreement. During the two months he was in the Demon Sect, he never thought of escaping. He also taught Hua Mei everything he knew when she asked for advice from time to time.
He was eager to go home and thought that if he did as agreed, he would be able to go home on time.
Unexpectedly, the evil witch of the demon sect went back on her word. The two-month deadline had already passed, but she still refused to let him go, and shamelessly expressed her feelings to Pei Zhou, wanting to marry him.
Even though Pei Zhou said he already had a wife and children at home, Hua Mei said she didn't mind.
Hua Mei didn't mind, but Pei Zhou did.
Pei Zhou understood that the Demon Cult would not keep its promise, so he took the opportunity to escape and traveled thousands of miles back to the Central Plains.
At this time, Xia Yan was more than seven months pregnant.
Pei Zhou didn't know that the demon girl Hua Mei learned of his escape and followed him closely.
Hua Mei already had an incredible talent in the art of poison, and with his guidance, she had mastered it to a full extent, and her skills had already become unfathomable.
Hua Mei chased to Yaowang Valley and happened to see Pei Zhou and his beloved wife cuddling each other tenderly. She became jealous and resentful, and in front of Pei Zhou, she gave Xia Yan the most vicious poison she had developed.
There was no antidote for the poison, not even Hua Mei had one, and Xia Yan's life was in danger.
At the critical moment, Pei Zhou took out the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and snow lotus that had been collected in Yaowang Valley for many years, and spent his entire life's efforts to refine a medicine to save Xia Yan's life.
At the same time, he also imprisoned Hua Mei and used torture to force her to tell him the antidote.
However, even Hua Mei didn't know how to detoxify.
Pei Zhou was almost crazy at that time.
He studied, searched, and read ancient books all night long, but he could not find any medicine that could save his wife, nor a way to detoxify her.
But within a short month, Pei Zhou changed from a gentleman with elegant appearance to a cold and indifferent person. The Medicine King Valley was crowded with patients who came to ask for medicine for treatment, but he ignored them and just buried his head in the pile of papers, trying in vain to find a way to save his wife.
Until Huashan sent disciples to practice witchcraft and were expelled from the sect by the sect leader.
Pei Zhou seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness and found Wu Sheng, the disciple who was expelled from Huashan Sect.
He provided help to Wu Sheng and asked Wu Sheng to find an antidote for him. In the end, Wu Sheng lived up to his trust and brought him the twin Gu.
Although the Twin Gu is called Twins, it does not mean that two people live and die together, but rather a method of exchanging one life for another.
And there are necessary conditions.
At that time, Xia Yan was nine months pregnant and was about to give birth.
As she was poisoned, she lay unconscious on the bed. Even in her sleep, she was still deeply affected by the poison, often convulsing all over and showing an expression of unbearable pain.
If the poison is not detoxified, she and the baby in her belly will die.
Pei Zhou had no choice but to find a man who was born on the same day as Xia Yan for the sake of his wife and children's lives. He used medicine to control the man and forced him to have sex with his wife to detoxify him.
The most painful thing was that he had to watch from the side in case anything went wrong during the detoxification process.
Xia Yan woke up at that time. She saw herself having sex with a strange man with a nine-month-old baby in her belly, while her husband watched coldly by the side.
Xia Yan fell into a coma after being poisoned. She was unaware of the many changes that had happened in between, and did not understand how much torment Pei Zhou was in.
She was just a weak woman who had never seen the world and only had the young master in her heart. How could she withstand such a blow?
The detoxification process went smoothly and the poison in Xia Yan's body was completely eliminated.
The moment the poison was removed, Xia Yan was so stimulated that she went into labor on the spot.
After the baby was born, she went crazy.
She gave birth to a boy. Because the baby survived by absorbing nutrients from the mother, he was born with poison in his body. Fortunately, the uterus was able to block the baby's body from toxins, so the baby's body did not carry much toxin and was not in immediate danger of death.
Even so, Pei Zhou didn't even look at the child.
If it wasn't for the child, if they didn't want the child in the first place, would everything that happened afterwards have never happened?
After the child was born, Pei Zhou threw him into a corner where he could not see him and never saw him again.
Xia Yan became stupid, crazy and mad, and no one could recognize her. Pei Zhou took her to Wuyin Temple to recuperate, hoping that she could return to normal. However, Xia Yan's body continued to weaken day by day.
It was also at this time that the leader of the Demon Cult found out the whereabouts of Hua Mei and came to ask for the Saint Hua Mei.
Master Zhenyi fought a fierce battle with the leader of the Demon Cult, and both sides were injured. Hua Mei was also rescued from Pei Zhou.
But at this time, Hua Mei was also tortured to madness.
None of the three people in this story had a good ending.
Xia Yan was the most innocent one, suffering from an unexpected disaster. Even though Pei Zhou tried his best to save her, she died within a few years after giving birth to Pei Ji.
Pei Zhou also became ill due to depression and died young.
As for Hua Mei...
"This is why I'm telling you this story. Hua Mei was tortured by Pei Zhou, and her meridians went backwards and she became possessed. Now that the Demon Cult has obtained the secret book, it may be able to restore her to normal. She holds a grudge against your parents and may come after you for revenge. You must be prepared."
Master Zhenyi finished speaking slowly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
When he put down the cup, he saw that the young man sitting in front of him had a slight smile on his face as usual, and seemed completely indifferent to this story. His thick eyelids were drooped, and his dark pupils were hidden in the shadows, so his specific expression could not be seen.
Judging from the appearance, Pei Ji is worthy of being Pei Zhou's son. The two look very similar, especially in their temperament. Both are gentle and graceful men with elegant appearance, dignity and self-possession.
But Pei Ji is gentler and softer than Pei Zhou, and there is always a smile on his lips, as if he is wearing a mask.
"Pei Ji, let me say one more thing here. Your parents were also busy with their own affairs and may have neglected to discipline you, but the way they treated you was no different from any other parent in the world."
Master Zhenyi said earnestly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a low sneer suddenly sounded.
The young man in white raised his eyes, his dark eyes slightly narrowed, with a faint light in them.
He held a folding fan in his hand, which covered the lower half of his face, and his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles.
"Master, thank you for telling me all this. It has solved the confusion I have had for all these years." He spoke slowly, without any fear or anger, but only full of interest and a little excitement.
So... that's how the poison came from.
This was the question Pei Ji had been searching for in two lifetimes, but he never expected that it would be Master Zhenyi who gave him the answer.
If he hadn't killed Master Zhenyi in his previous life, would he have been able to get the answer?
This thought flashed through Pei Ji's mind quickly, but he did not delve too deeply into it.
He was never one to dwell on the past. Things from his previous life were long gone, and now was a new life, with everything new.
"Hua Mei...if she wants to come, then she can come. I would also like to see how powerful her poison skills are. If she doesn't come to find me, I will go find her too."
Pei Ji smiled with his eyebrows curved, his narrow eyes filled with anticipation.
He was really looking forward to meeting Hua Mei, the woman who had killed Xia Yan, plotted against Pei Zhou, and caused him to endure so many years of pain and the destruction of his family.
Hua Mei's poison skills should not be underestimated as she was able to research such a deadly poison.
But that's what makes it more fun.
Pei Ji originally thought that no one in this world would be able to be his opponent. Now that he knew there was such a person, his usually calm heart was suddenly disturbed.
He knew that it was the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent.
As for the revenge for parents?
Pei Ji had no feelings for Pei Zhou, and even less feelings for Xia Yan, whom he had never met.
Even after hearing such a story, he just felt like he was watching a play. He didn't feel anything and his heart was calm.
Despite this, revenge must be taken.
Hua Mei must die.
Just like those martial artists who had attacked him before, Pei Ji actually didn't care about them, but since they dared to attack him, they had to bear his revenge.
Hua Mei made him suffer from the poison for so many years, so naturally he wanted to avenge himself.
Thinking of this, Pei Ji's eyes curved even deeper.
Master Zhenyi opened his pair of old and sharp eyes, staring deeply at the young man in front of him who couldn't suppress his faint excitement. He sighed softly, but said nothing.
When he first saw Pei Ji, he saw that this boy was not what he seemed. Now it seems that he is more than just what he seems, he is actually cold-hearted and evil.
Zhenyi is about to die, and he actually doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to help Pei Ji.
The only thing that made him feel there was still hope was Pei Ji's care for the little girl.
The Pei family has always been full of romantic people. The little girl looks spoiled, but she has a pure and kind heart. If she can become the reins to bind the evil demon, what he did today can be considered a good deed.
It is often said that monks are compassionate and Buddha saves the world.
Even though he is an evil demon, Buddha still has compassion for him.
