Master, He Died for Me

My name is Li Tingyan, and I have been considered unlucky since I was born. He lost his mother at birth and his father at the age of eight, leaving him alone ever since. People in the village say that I have a tough life, and I avoid relatives and friends, and they would avoid snakes and scorpions when they see me. When I was ten years old, there was a severe drought and people died of hunger all over the land. I followed the fleeing people and wandered outside the strange city. Because I was so thin and gaunt, even the beggars at the city gate couldn't accommodate me, so I had to huddle in an abandoned Taoist temple and survive on wild fruits and rainwater. When I was twelve years old, I fell into a wolf trap while picking fruits. When I struggled to escape, I was bleeding and dying. It was raining heavily outside, and I thought this was the end. Until a figure, walking in the clear light, walked into this abandoned world. He gave me shelter, gave me immortal bones, and taught me spells, but he was as alienated as the moon reflected in a cold pond. I thought this was the salvation given me by God, so I practiced hard, hoping that one day I would get a word of approval from my master. Until I glimpsed the cruelest truth of fate—— It turns out that the chaotic spiritual root I carry is the last crack in the imbalance of yin and yang in the world; And everything Master has done is to use me as a sacrifice when the destined catastrophe strikes, to exchange for a glimmer of life, and to complete order for the heaven and earth. When the Ten Thousand Immortals came to court and the clouds of calamity were overwhelming, he indeed, witnessed by all the heavens, dispersed my soul and transformed into starlight.
