Huang Santai sat cross-legged in the air in front of me, shaking her head and savoring a small wine, apparently having a good impression of alcohol. She said to me: "What's up, speak up."

  I didn't hide it from her either, so I told her: "A few days ago when I was in Harbin, I met a passing immortal."

  Huang Santai listened to me and said with some surprise: "Harbin, that should be the land of Old Hu's family. Is the wandering immortal you met surnamed Hu?"

  I nodded and said to it, "That's right, it calls itself the seventh old fox of Taiyang Island. After I toasted it with three cups of wine, it told me that this world is going to be in chaos. What does that mean, Old Lady?"

  Huang Santai's smile faded after hearing my words, and she seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment of silence, she said to me: "The world is going to be in chaos, I actually knew about this matter too. You're also eating food from the underworld now, aren't you? Do you want to know about it?"

  I nodded hastily and said to her: "Yes, I just wanted to ask you about this matter."

  Old Lady Huang sighed and said to me, "Black Mama was ambushed by someone the other day, and her old tobacco pipe was stolen."

  What? Black mom? Who is that? What is this old lady talking about, how can it be so confusing? What old lady was beaten and the tobacco pouch was also robbed?

  So I hastily asked her: "Granny, what are you talking about? I didn't quite understand. Can you say it in more detail?"

  Huang Santai looked at me and said, "I really can't figure it out, how did you young people get into this line of eating yin food, not even knowing Hei Mama?"

  It's embarrassing to say, but my master, Ninth Uncle, is an old ghost. We can meet once a month, and although I learn some new skills each time, the world is vast, and what I know now is still too little.

  So I said with some embarrassment: "I'm really ashamed, I'm not good at learning now, may I ask which fairy family is Black Mama from?"

  Huang San Tai Nai said to me: "Hei Ma Ma is the god who protects the entire Northeast, and Hu San Tai Ye is of the same generation, you don't even know this?"

  Protect the entire Northeast? So strong? As soon as I heard it say that, my curiosity was piqued, so I said to it: "Great grandma, just tell me directly."

  Huang Santai listened to me finish speaking, sighed, and told me about this matter.

  In the northeast's immortal realm, the highest-ranking ones are 'Hu San Ta Ye' and 'Hu San Ta Nai'.

  Among the many deities, they have the deepest Tao, observing human good and evil, knowing the fortunes and misfortunes of the people, protecting the family home from peace. The two of them hold a high position in the Baojia Xian faith, are considered to be the elders of the Fox Immortal family, and have the ability to bring fortune or disaster upon humans.

  And this Black Mother, also known as 'Black Old Lady', was cultivated into an immortal in the Xuan Shi Cave of Jiuding Iron Mountain in Liaoning Province. She is the general protector of Northeastern Taoism and is of the same generation as Hu San Taizhen and Hu San Tainai.

  It is said that this immortal had a kind heart and after achieving the Tao, helped many people in the world. Even now, there is still his Taoist temple on Mount Tie of Liaoning Province, where incense is offered every year without interruption, and many good men and believing women go to worship.

  It is said that Hei Ma has a treasure called 'Bai Ren Yuan', which is a tobacco pipe. Whenever she sees someone with grievances on their body, she will use the pipe to absorb the grievances and purify the person's soul.

  But Huang Santai and I said, don't know why, about half a month ago, one night, someone actually took advantage of the darkness to launch a sneak attack on Hei Māma! But that person was no match for Black Mom, in just a few rounds, he was beaten and fled in defeat. However, during the fight, it seemed that Black Mom's 'Bǎirén Yuàn' (Hundred People's Grudge) was stolen by that person.

  To know that Hei Mama, the Guardian Sage, has lost her magical artifact is a big deal. Without this artifact, she will no longer be able to reincarnate humans in the future, what can be done about it?

  Even the kind-hearted Black Mother was enraged, thinking that in this era, there were only a handful of people who could stir it up, so it must be one of her own disciples who did not know better. So she gathered all the household spirits from the entire Northeast to investigate who had stolen her treasure.

  Of course, the Yellow Third Grandma of my family also went ahead and gathered on Tie Shan Mountain with a group of immortals, led by 'Hu San Tai Ye', 'Hu San Tai Nai' and 'Hei Lao Tai Tai'.

  If we put it in plain language, this scene is basically the same as a year-end meeting. All the big and small "immortals" are present, and after everyone has arrived, Hei Mama begins to speak. It tells them why they were invited and tells them that this tobacco pipe gourd is not something that anyone can use. If used improperly, it will backfire and harm oneself, making it impossible for oneself to recover. If you come again within a month, it will be forgiven.

  Old Man Hu was furious about this matter, saying that if it wasn't returned within a month, whoever did it would be found out by them and their tendons would be cut off, chopped into pieces and thrown into the fire pit, causing them to be reborn as flies in their next life.

  The crows and sparrows under the stage are silent, this is not something that can be clearly stated, who would admit it on the spot? After all, since they dared to move against Hei Mama, they should have already had a desperate determination, how could they easily surrender with both hands up?

  The three immortals above did not recognize him, so the gathering dispersed without joy. The "immortal" below bid farewell and returned to their respective homes or caves. Hu Lao Qi was possessed by Wang Cheng on his way back to Taiyang Island, while Huang San Tai Nai had just arrived home and was very hungry from rushing on the road, so she came into the house to see if the dumplings were cooked yet.

  After listening to it, I sighed in my heart: The gathering of immortals is a magnificent scene. I really didn't expect that in this era, there would be such a grand gathering. However, someone actually dared to steal the treasure of the Guardian Immortal? Isn't that like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth and getting twisted alive? Do you know what "Guardian Immortal" means? That is the leader of the Northeastern House of Immortals, an existence akin to an emperor!

  I suddenly thought of the person who snatched the Ta Sui skin, could it be the same person? But why would he take such a great risk to steal the Bai Ren Yuan? However, you should know that Hei Ma Ma is not as easy to deal with as Ye Hu, provoking Hei Ma Ma means making enemies of all the Jia Xian and Ye Xian in the entire Dong Bei!

  I really can't figure it out, I originally came to resolve my doubts, but unexpectedly the more I understand, the more confused I become, just like walking in a swamp, the deeper I sink. What kind of thing is this! It's even not letting people relax during the New Year.

  But then I thought, whether Hei Mama's Fa instrument is lost or not has nothing to do with me, I'm a human being, why should I care? I just wanted to know what Taiyang Island Hu Lao Qi meant by his words, now I know, but I don't quite understand, why did the loss of Hei Mama's Bai Ren Yuan lead to chaos in the world?

  So I asked Third Aunt Huang: "Auntie, I still don't quite get it. Why did the loss of Black Mama's treasure have to throw this world into chaos?"

  Huang San Tai floated in front of the shrine, picked up a cup of wine, took a sip, and said to me: "You young people don't know that Hei Ma Ma's treasure has its own story. You should know that in this world, there are many deceitful people who harm each other. Although karma is cyclical, if it's not resolved, it will soon lead to resentment. Therefore, on the 13th of every month, at the most yin hour, Hei Ma Ma would go to the top of the mountain and use this treasure to absorb grievances for all the good men and women in the world. Although she can't absorb too much grievance energy, it's enough to maintain balance. Now that Hei Ma Ma's snuff bottle is gone, she can no longer continue to absorb grievances. When the time comes, the grievances of the people will swell up, and most likely, chaos will erupt. Don't you understand this?"

  As soon as I heard that, I understood. Although this matter is really too absurd and sounds like a fantasy when spoken out loud, at the time I was personally experiencing it without any exaggeration, so I deeply believed it. I thought to myself, "Heavens, what kind of world is this? Why are there always things happening? If we don't quickly find that tobacco pouch, not to mention other matters, just the resentment from those petitioners would be enough to fill a pot."

  Most of the evil spirits are born from resentment and evil energy. When the time comes, the resentment in the folk will intensify, giving birth to a few more powerful monsters. Originally, there were only a handful of 'gentlemen' in this world, who would deal with them?

  Damn it, this thing is really disgusting.

  I hung my head and said to Huang Santai: "Auntie, what do you think, is there any room for solution in this matter?"

  Huang Santai sighed again and said to me, "You're just a junior, what are you worrying about? There's only one way to solve this problem, which is to find the Hundred Grudges, but that's the business of those three immortals. It has nothing to do with you. Even if you have good intentions, I think your abilities are really not up to par. Although you also eat food from the underworld, you're still far inferior to Liu Shuqing back in the day."

  Fortunately, thinking of those three immortals, what kind of magical powers do they have? The entire Northeast is theirs, and it's estimated that the smoking pot can be found soon.

  But this old lady's words really hit my soft spot, no kidding, I don't know when it started, but I've become a worrywart, and now I'm struggling to take care of myself, yet I still want to care about others. It's like I haven't even cried for my ancestors' graves, but I still go around crying at random tombs. The reality is that I have the heart but not the capability, damn it, just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.

  I couldn't help but smile wryly, as the disciple of Ninth Uncle, how could I be so weak? I remembered that Ninth Uncle had told me before that my innate talent was not good, but he hoped that I would work hard to make up for it and still have a chance to reach his level. But it's been many years now, I started cultivating in high school, and now I've graduated from university, yet I haven't made much progress at all.

  At that time, I thought that if I couldn't find the female ghost, when the two-year deadline arrived, I would fight with Old Xie. With my current strength, how could I fight it? Thank you, Bi An, for digging a piece of nasal mucus, and I'm afraid he can crush me to death.

  Having thought of this, I sighed again and complained that I was really useless. Huang San Tai saw my appearance and thought for a while before saying to me: "You don't have to be discouraged, your grandma knows what you're thinking in your heart right now."

  I raised my head and said to it with some curiosity: "Do you know what I'm thinking of now?"

  Huang Santai took another sip of wine and said to me, "As the guardian deity of your family, if you don't even have this kind of ability, then it's all over. You think your cultivation is too low and want to become more powerful, right?"

  Thank you for your support. The first group is full, a new second group has been opened, the group number will be announced later. All are empty seats, hoping everyone can come to the second group to chat with me.
