I Use Dragon Qi to Suppress Demons and Ghosts

That year, a flood swept my mother away. Three days after she went missing, a giant old turtle, bigger than a millstone, carried her to the confluence of the Sanjiang Rivers, two li from our village... Three months later, my mother somehow discovered she was pregnant... She carried me for three years and six months before giving birth... The day I was born, an earthquake struck the village. A sea of snakes crawled out of the fissures left by the quake and surrounded the village, leaving no way in or out... The villagers all said I was the offspring of a turtle spirit, a monster born in human form. My birth had triggered an earthquake that nearly destroyed the village, then brought a swarm of snakes to surround it... The next day, an old Daoist came to our house. He said I was an ill-fated child destined to face calamities at birth, at six, and at twelve. Either I would die, or a whole crowd of people would... The old Daoist said he would take me away and use secret Daoist methods to avert my calamities. Once I turned nine, he'd bring me back, and I would become a normal person... The old Daoist took me away by boat, but after we'd gone only a few hundred meters, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck him and burned him to a crisp... A huge white snake as thick as a barrel, with two horns on its head, pushed the boat to shore. It spoke like a human and said the old Daoist had been plotting against me and wanted to use me to make medicine, so he'd been struck by heavenly retribution... My grandfather prayed to Heaven three hundred times, hoping I would be spared disaster and calamity. That's why he named me Ye Wujie... But my calamities weren't averted. One bizarre and inexplicable incident after another kept happening... Until my master appeared and led me onto a mysterious and unpredictable path of esoteric arts...
