Chapter 89: End of Fate
The woman told a story about a yellow fox.

She was originally a yellow fox that grew up near the Da Baoen Temple. She would sneak into the temple every day just to steal some tribute fruits to fill her stomach. In order to steal the tribute fruits, she would often hide in corners where she would not be discovered when there were people in the hall. Over time, she heard the monks chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist scriptures many times, and slowly her spiritual wisdom was awakened.

I thought it was like that, but who knew that one day it would be seen by a bad guy.

The evil man wanted to kill her, so she rushed out of the temple in panic and hid in a passing carriage.

This carriage was exactly the one hired by the Zhang family. At that time, the young master of the Zhang family was going to take the imperial examination, and his mother was suffering from heartache, so he went to the Da Baoen Temple to pray for blessings. Unexpectedly, he caught the yellow fox hiding in the carriage.

I thought the young master of the Zhang family would be frightened by her, but he smiled brightly. I thought to myself, "It's easy to get it. It must be God's will, it must be God's will!"

It turned out that the young master of the Zhang family heard of a folk remedy from somewhere, which said that boiling the heart and liver of a yellow fox into a soup could cure heart disease.

result……

"This vicious man took my heart and liver, peeled off my skin, and threw me into the river. I was dead, but the resentment in my heart was not dissipated. Not long after, I waited for this woman to drown. I don't know if God took pity on me and let me be reborn in this woman's body. I take yang and replenish yin every day, and I need to change one face every day to keep my body from decaying. In order to avenge this, I endure the pain of changing my face every day, just to make them pay the price they deserve! Is there anything wrong with my revenge! Do I deserve to die!" The woman said, shaking and standing up. Walking towards the mother and son of the Zhang family, she spoke one word at a time.

"I have never harmed anyone, why did I suffer such a cruel hand? I just want revenge, why do you, a magician, want to stop me? Is this what you call morality? Is this what you call the revenge of kindness? I only regret that I didn't gain any Taoism before I died, and that the time I stayed in this body was too short, so I couldn't eat his flesh and blood, or peel off his skin and bones! I can only seduce him, so that this old woman can watch her son die little by little, and let her know the evil she did!"

The woman was filled with hatred and staggered. She fell to the ground not long after she walked and could not get up again.

When the man in the straw raincoat heard this, he could only sigh.

Without saying a word, he stood still.

"You people are so hypocritical." The woman said sarcastically.

The young master of the Zhang family, who was standing by, trembled in disbelief after hearing what the woman said. This was actually the yellow fox!
The daily love and affection is actually costing one's life!
He never expected that his act of killing to save his mother would result in this outcome today.

But he didn't feel the slightest bit of fear, he even felt guilty!
The firewood in his hand fell to the ground, and the young man from the Zhang family walked towards the woman step by step.

"Son! What are you going to do?" Grandma Zhang asked in panic.

But the young master of the Zhang family ignored everything and walked up to the girl and picked her up.

He reached out and stroked the woman's white skull, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't know this. This is all my fault, all my fault."

There is no medicine for regret in the world. What the young man of the Zhang family did was just to save his mother, but now he is getting the retribution, and it has come back to him.

The man in the straw raincoat watched from the side, not knowing what to say. He knew that the young master of the Zhang family might be possessed by a ghost at the moment, but after listening to what the bones said just now and seeing the reactions of the mother and son of the Zhang family, he knew that what the bones said was true.

It is difficult to clearly say which is right and which is wrong in the cause and effect of such grudges.

As long as no one was killed, he could only let it resolve itself.

"My husband, my heart hurts." Although the woman was only bones, her voice was charming. Those words made the young master of the Zhang family bewildered and heartbroken.

"Save me, my husband."

"I don't want to die yet. Can you save me? I don't blame you. I know it's not your fault. I still want to grow old with you."

The woman begged in a voice so soft and sweet that it could melt even steel.

The young master of the Zhang family was at a loss after being called, and he kept repeating the same words: "How can I save you, my wife. How can I save you, my wife?"

"Husband, save me. Only you can save me, you just need to do this..." The woman said softly, and the face of the young man from the Zhang family changed.

He held the woman for a long time, then slowly stood up.

The man in the straw raincoat looked at it in confusion, and saw the young man of the Zhang family pull out the peach wood sword from the woman's body. The man in the straw raincoat did not step forward to stop him. Even if he pulled out the peach wood sword to save the immortal skeleton, it would be of no avail.

The young master of the Zhang family held the peach wood sword and slowly retreated to the front of Granny Zhang. Suddenly, he turned around and pierced Granny Zhang's heart with the sword at lightning speed.

"What are you doing!" exclaimed the man in the straw raincoat.

"Son, what are you doing?" Granny Zhang covered her chest and looked at her son in disbelief. She had never thought that one day the child she raised with her own hands would treat her like this.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Mom, my wife said she would get better if she ate your heart. As long as she ate your heart, she would get better!" Zhang's son cried out like a madman with tears streaming down his face. "Mom! You've lived for so long, please help your son on his last journey!"

"I'm sorry, son. I will give you a good burial!"

"Son!" Granny Zhang screamed and fell to the ground covered in blood.

The man in the straw raincoat had no time to stop him. He watched helplessly as the young master of the Zhang family suddenly pulled back the peach wood sword, thrust his right hand into the wound of Grandma Zhang, dug out a bloody heart, and ran towards the woman.

He ran and cried, shouting with joy: "My wife, you are saved! You are saved!"

But his steps were too hasty and the young master of the Zhang family accidentally fell to the ground.

The heart beat a few times, and Granny Zhang's voice came from it.

"Son, are you hurt?"

The young master of the Zhang family lay there in a daze, the madness in his eyes dissipated. He stared blankly at the heart that was gradually stopping beating in front of him, and blankly looked at his bloody hands. Then he turned around foolishly and saw the body of Grandma Zhang lying not far away.

The rain in Jinling seemed to be a little heavier, falling on our bodies with the chill of winter.

The woman lying on the ground laughed loudly when she saw this, and then she slowly died. Two bodies were lying side by side, one in the south and one in the north, with only the young man of the Zhang family lying in the middle, silent for a long time.

The man in the straw raincoat walked over slowly, squatted down and took off his straw hat.

A young boy's face was revealed, but his eyes were filled with endless regret and sorrow.

"My condolences..." The man in the straw raincoat put the hat on the young master of the Zhang family and looked at him with his eyes wide open and his mouth open. His face was ferocious and veins bulged on his thin face.

Silent vomiting, silent choking. Although there is no sound, one can still feel the unspeakable grief.

The red lanterns in front of the hall swayed, heralding the festivity not long ago. But now it was cold and even more desolate.

Li Daoxuan walked out of the Zhang family's courtyard with the drizzle on his face. He closed the gate of the Zhang family's courtyard and stood outside for a long time, listening to the hoarse crying and wailing coming from the courtyard, and could only sigh.

He never thought that things would change so quickly, nor did he expect that the Zhang family's affairs would end up like this.

It was not until this moment that he realized that what he had calculated actually had such cause and effect.

It is impossible to predict all the events in the hexagrams, because human nature is unpredictable.

The feud between the Zhang family and the Yellow Fox can probably be considered truly settled in this way.

In the past, the young master of the Zhang family took out the heart and liver of a yellow fox to treat his mother, and now he took out his own mother's heart for the same reason.

The cycle of nature and the interdependence of cause and effect are roughly the same.

"So, what did I do?" Li Daoxuan was a little confused.

He thought he had a lot of skills and could help the Zhang family get rid of demons. He was even afraid of accidents, so he squatted outside the Zhang family's courtyard and waited for an opportunity to save the situation.

But when everything settled down, Li Daoxuan found that he seemed to have done nothing.

Grandma Zhang died anyway. Just as her face showed, she was terminally ill and her fate was doomed.

As for whether the evil spirit in the Zhang family returned to the underworld with the death of these bones, Li Daoxuan did not investigate further. The cause and effect here should have been resolved, but Li Daoxuan was not happy at all.

"Alas. What a retribution!" Li Daoxuan sighed and slowly left the Zhang family.

He disappeared into the streets, leaving only the faint sound of the Zhang family crying. The streets were still quiet, but the raindrops were a little heavier.
