Yang Ruqing wanted to vomit: "This, I really don't know. All I know is that the lotus pattern on the medicine bottle is the exclusive mark of the Black Lotus Sect."

"The Black Lotus Cult?" Lao Yangtou exclaimed, "What's that?"

Yang Ruqing said: "The Black Lotus Sect is a cult that emerged in recent years, colluding with barbarians and plotting to seize power and instigate war."

“I've heard of the Black Lotus Cult, it is indeed a cult.” Yang Huazhong also said.

Yang Ruqing said, "Uncle Four should know since he's been traveling all over the place?"

Yang Huaming blushed and nodded, "Cult..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Ruqing withdrew her gaze and then said to Lao Yangtou, "The Li Cai Zhu from Li Jiazhuang before, he was a member of the Black Lotus Sect,"

When his house was raided by the authorities, the basement was filled with the bones of children, all used to worship their Black Lotus sect's Maitreya Buddha.

"The Buddha Maitreya represents auspiciousness and joy, but has been distorted by the Black Lotus sect into a different, evil representation."

Hearing about Li Cai's story, Lao Yang finally understood and a look of fear crossed his face.

"At the time, when Li Caizhu's incident happened, it caused quite a stir. Everyone said that Li Caizhu was possessed by an evil spirit and specialized in eating the hearts and lungs of children."

"My God, after all this time, it turns out he joined a cult! That's terrifying!"

The old man stopped talking and suddenly looked at Yang Huaming with nervous eyes. “Old Four, you wouldn’t have joined the Black Lotus Sect too, would you?”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Yang Huaming quickly shook his head, "Impossible, I don't believe in that stuff. I was harmed by people from the Black Lotus Sect and they made me eat some kind of cursed medicine!"

Then, Yang Huaming pleaded with Yang Ruqing: "Ruqing, your fourth uncle was really wrong. Your fourth uncle will definitely reform and become a new person from now on. Please, please help your fourth uncle!"

“Given Uncle Four’s condition, there might still be toxins in his body. If he has more children in the future, they might end up with tails again!” he said.

Yang Ruqing looked at him with a cold expression: "It's entirely possible, but Uncle Four, what do you want me to do?"

"Huh?" Yang Huaming was taken aback.

Yang Ruqing continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Xue Pozi is probably the equivalent of a witch doctor within the Black Lotus Sect, specializing in these supremely yin and evil things. They can both harm and heal people."

“I’m not a real doctor, just a layman with a superficial understanding.”

“To be frank, I can’t help you. The only thing I can do is give you a couple of silver coins so you can buy some food and drink to calm your nerves. As for anything else, I'm afraid I can't!”

Old Yang's head, with tears streaming down his face, and filled with regret, watched as Yang Huaming left Yang Huazhong's house and returned to the old house.

Here, Mrs. Sun asked Yang Ruohua, "Ruohua, were you just speaking in anger, or is it truly impossible?"

Yang Ruqing said, "Half of it was just talk, half of it is that there's really no other way."

Sun said, "There's no way out, can we not think of any other ideas?"

Yang Ruqing shook her head. “The one who ties the bell must untie it. In this world, besides Xue Pozi, I reckon no one can give Fourth Uncle a clear explanation.”

Sun Shi thought for a moment, and then asked, "Can we find a way to get rid of Xiao Juan's tail?"

Yang Ruqing shook her head again, "It's hard to say, and I don't dare to try."

Have surgery?

With current medical technology, we are utterly incapable of coping.

Moreover, Xue Pozi's medicine, it's not really medicine, it's more like a poison.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain how Yang Huaming's illness recovered so quickly.

>

If it really is a gu (referring to a type of venomous insect), then it's even beyond her comprehension. This thing is truly mysterious and esoteric.

And furthermore, if the curse isn't lifted in a day, even if Yang Huaming were to have one hundred children with one hundred women, they would all be deformed.

Because of his kind, he was born bad. No matter which field he planted in, the crops that grew would all be the same, not worth expecting!

“Mother, let’s not talk about this anymore. I still say the same thing, everyone is responsible for their own actions.”

"All of Si Shu's misfortunes today are his own doing, he has no one to blame but himself!"

Yang Huaming and the story of the child with a tail are still going on, bits and pieces coming from Lao Yang's house every now and then.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

All of that was just follow-up, nothing more than disagreements in opinion between Lao Yangtou, Tan Shi, and Yang Huaming.

Tan's meaning is to abandon the child and then drive Xiaojuan away.

Yang Huaming wants to keep Xiaojuan and her child.

As for Old Yang, he suggested finding a renowned doctor to see if they could surgically remove the child's tail. That way, things would be normal.

Everyone in the village was still talking about this child of Lao Yang's family, even though it had been half a year since he was born and it was almost the end of the year.

This topic has been continuing, and Xiaojuan and her son have remained at Lao Yang's house in Changping Village.

In Yang Huazhong's backyard, Yang Ruoqing was helping her grandmother Sun dry winter quilts.

"Qing'er, ah, it's been another two months until the New Year. Where did Tang YaZi go? It's been a year now, and he hasn't come back yet?"

Mrs. Sun couldn't help but ask, the woman's brow was filled with worry.

Yang Ruqing's hand that was patting the quilt also froze.

About Luofeng Tang's return, the family has asked countless times this year.

Every time, Yang Ruohua would answer patiently, and this time was no exception. Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! ?

"Mother, please rest assured, this year for the New Year, he said he will definitely come back." Yang Ruqing said.

"His Majesty the Qi Emperor admired him and sent him to the Western Mountain Royal Military Training Ground to train soldiers. This was because his personally trained Luo Family Army was very excellent, outstanding, and well-trained."

“The Emperor saw this point, so he entrusted him with this important task.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Ten days ago, Tang YaZi wrote to me and said that the Emperor had bestowed another reward upon him. He said that when his training ended at the year's end, he would ask for two extra months of leave from the Emperor and return home for a good while.

Upon hearing Yang Ruqing's words, Sun shi nodded in relief, "There are still more than two months before the Lunar New Year, and Tang'er will be born soon."

Outside the capital city, at the Western Mountain Imperial Military Training Ground.

Here, there is no hustle and bustle of Beijing.

Here, there are no idle young masters living in drunken stupors.

There is no gentle village here, no pawnshops or gambling halls, no teahouses or restaurants, nor even cockfighting...

Here, nestled amidst the mountains, lies a secluded training ground.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

This place is barren and remote. Within sight, there is nothing but the training grounds and a long row of barracks.

That's right, this is a man's world.

It is a forge tempered by blood and fire.

Here, Emperor Qi handed over the elite soldiers he had personally selected to Luo Fengtang, instructing him to train them using the methods employed by the Luo Family Army.

During this almost year of isolated training, under the sweat, blood, and the monotonous drills day after day,

This elite unit, under Luofeng Tang's command, achieved self-transcendence.

Life in the mountains was monotonous, but everyone was very spirited.

It was night, and a cold wind howled fiercely through the mountains. The flags on the poles outside the camp swayed and rattled in the bitter wind.
