Chapter 1

On the day I was born, nineteen thunderbolts suddenly sounded around our house. Strangely, our roof did not receive any lightning strikes. Instead, the nineteenth bolt struck an old elm tree in our yard, shrouding the entire area in billowing smoke and attracting the attention of the entire village.

Meanwhile, rumors are circulating about a strange incident. That day, an experienced hunter discovered a stunning woman while taking shelter from the rain in a cave on the mountainside. She has eight tails, her face is pale, and she seems to be on the verge of death. After meeting the hunter, she asked the village if any children were about to be born.

The hunter was shocked, nodded, and froze on the spot. The stunning woman sighed and said, "It seems that the debts from the past life must be repaid." As she spoke, thunder sounded outside, and the woman suddenly closed her eyes and fell to the ground motionless. When villagers later went to the cave to look for the woman's body, they were surprised to find she was missing. At the same time, I also came into this world. The first time the midwife saw me, she was so scared that she almost dropped me. I have a strange appearance, a pointed chin, a head like a fox, and small fangs in my mouth. A layer of fine white fur covers my body. 

Most newborns cry, but not me. I just looked hungry. When my mom tried to breastfeed me, I got bitten and bled. She pushed me away in agony, filled with a deep fear of this strangely behaving newborn. The midwife thought I was a monster who should not be kept. She advised my father to throw me away and let me fend for myself, lest my presence bring disaster to the family. My father was shocked that his flesh and blood would make such a callous decision. He sought advice from my grandfather, the patriarch of our family. Seeing my strange look, even my grandfather was scared. He began to talk to himself, wondering what bad things he had done in his previous life to give birth to such a child. But my grandfather didn't want to abandon me. To him, no matter how strange I am, I am always his grandson.

After thinking for a long time, Grandfather suddenly had an idea. He said the boy was strange in every way. When he was born, nineteen bolts of lightning fell from the sky and exploded around the door of the house. The last lightning bolt fell in the yard, knocking the house down. Old Elm must have something to say about this matter. Grandpa asked his father to hire a Taoist priest to help him with advice.

My dad went to Bali overnight and walked dozens of kilometers. After arriving in Bali, it was already dawn. When the father told the Taoist priest about the child, the Taoist priest was also surprised and immediately followed his father back to the village. When they arrived at the door of their home, they saw an extraordinary scene. I don't know when many yellow-skinned foxes suddenly appeared in front of my house. They were densely packed, at least hundreds of them. I don't know where they come from. These weasels and foxes surrounded our yard, chirping non-stop.

This incident attracted many villagers to watch, but no one dared to get close. Others are talking a lot, saying that there is a freak in my family, who offends the weasels and foxes, and my family will go bankrupt sooner or later. My dad suddenly panicked when he saw this situation. He picked up a thick wooden stick from the ground and was about to drive away the beasts. However, he was stopped by the Taoist priest. He squinted his eyes, studying the beasts. I told Dad: "Don't go there, they won't do any harm."

After saying this, those called a group of chattering weasels and foxes knelt like humans, bowed three times in the direction of my home, and then left quickly. These ferocious beasts came and went as quickly as they came, disappearing in a short time. Dad felt incredible when he saw this scene and asked the priest what was going on.

The Taoist priest's face looked very solemn and he did not answer his father's words. He just said to go in and see the child first. When he got home, Grandfather took the child out. The Taoist priest just looked at me, took a breath, his eyes sparkled, and then asked me my birthday. Then, the Taoist priest began to make calculations. After a while, he said excitedly: "This child is incredible. He is a monster. If he stays here, it will be a disaster with endless consequences. He only eats blood and cannot eat ordinary food. Even if he Staying here will also bring endless disasters." Leading to endless disasters. "You will never be able to feed him, sooner or later he will die." 

As soon as these words came out, the whole family was frightened. My father's legs went weak and he almost knelt in front of the Taoist priest: "You think of a way, I can't just watch him die." Taoist priest, is there any way to let him live? "Grandpa said.

"Do you know why there are nineteen thunderbolts?" the Taoist asked.
