I'm a demon cultivator

Chapter 8: Humans are born from human mothers, and monsters are born from monster mothers

Humans are born from human mothers, monsters are born from monster mothers, and Tan Shuchang was naturally not born and raised, he is also a human... probably born from human mothers.

Before the age of five, Tan Shuchang was just an ordinary illegitimate child.

I don't know who my father is, nor what my mother's name is, I just know that she is not a peasant woman. This is the conclusion Tan Shuchang came to from his observations.

After he turned five, Tan Shuchang's conclusion was confirmed, that there was something wrong with his biological mother's behavior...

"I have gone through nine lives, given birth to nine sons, and killed nine sons, all for the sake of cultivating the Nine Sons Mother Heavenly Ghost. I never thought that I would suffer retribution and reincarnate an extra life and give birth to one more child. So I will keep you..."

That's what his biological mother said.

Tan Shuchang still remembers that his biological mother had changed from her usual tranquil and peaceful appearance. She looked unusually noble, but also extremely cold, with a look in her eyes that seemed to be able to kill all living beings.

Then, when the gangsters arrived, his biological mother pretended to roll down the cliff...

Because later, when Tan Shuchang saw his biological mother, she had actually already flown into the air. But the strange thing was that at that time, the only one who could see his biological mother was Tan Shuchang.

The bandits captured Tan Shuchang, who was only five years old at the time, but did not kill him. Instead, they took him away. Then the soldiers came, drove away the bandits, rescued Tan Shuchang, and respectfully sent him to Jingzhou.

It was also at this time that Tan Shuchang learned about his identity.

At the feet of the Emperor of Jingzhou, the son of Prime Minister Tan, the imperial tutor of two dynasties!

Although they were only illegitimate children, Prime Minister Tan had only four sons, including Tan Shuchang. And the first three, except for the eldest who received Prime Minister Tan's true teachings, the other two were just two pigs.

It is not an exaggeration to say that pigs are smarter than these two.

That is why Prime Minister Tan was thinking about his illegitimate son Tan Shuchang. It is not enough to have only one person in charge of such a large family.

From ancient times to the present, relying on one’s father has always been the mainstream.

With such a father, it was hard for Tan Shuchang not to pass the imperial examination. At that time, there were only a few people who wrote better articles than him. Tan Shuchang remembered that there were several. Although he studied hard, this thing actually depends on talent. Tan Shuchang's talent for studying is just that of an ordinary person.

However, in the end, the first place in the imperial examination was his, and he was the first recognized by the emperor.

Then, at the celebration banquet, Tan Shuchang was drunk.

After he sobered up, he realized that he had beaten up the emperor's three sons because they looked too much like his "second brother and third brother".

Tan Shuchang remembered that he probably didn't do anything, he just seemed to be beaten at that time, but everyone said so, and the emperor said so too, so the charge was established.

However, because of his father, Tan Shuchang was only stripped of his official title and punished to face the wall at home.

Not long after this incident, a cup of poisoned wine was delivered to the Tan residence.

When he learned that if he was willing to commit suicide, his most beloved son would not be harmed, this imperial tutor of two dynasties drank the cup of poison directly and ended his glorious life.

However, what this imperial tutor of two dynasties did not expect was that the emperor played a word game with him.

The emperor only spared Tan Shuchang.

As for the other members of the Tan family who had not yet reached the third mourning period, they were all killed one by one.

Tan Shuchang's elder brother had already held a high-ranking official position and had a huge network influence. Because he was both civil and martial and had practiced for a while, he was able to invite many of the military dignitaries and even spiritual practitioners.

As for Tan Shuchang's second and third brothers, although they are more bastards than each other and are typical playboys, their mothers' families are very powerful! Their influence in the court is even greater!
Although Tan Shuchang performed much better than his second and third brothers, he was ultimately just a mediocre person. Just like what an ordinary person could perform after getting a powerful family background.

What's more, he was an illegitimate child, and his biological mother was killed in the name of bandits because of the dissatisfaction of the eldest lady of the Tan family.

As for how Tan Shuchang knew the real identities of the bandits at that time, it was because a senior eunuch among those who came to search the Tan Mansion found him and told him in person, then gave him some silver and drove him out of Jingzhou.

As soon as Mr. Tan left Jingzhou, the reputation of the current emperor's benevolence spread throughout the twenty-five states.

All I can say is that there is no emperor who is not scheming.

As for what is special about Tan Shuchang...

This actually existed when he was very young, but he had been hiding it in his two lives, and it was not revealed even before he was five years old.

He was afraid that his biological mother would mistake him for a monster and burn him to death.

However, after he was five years old, Tan Shuchang realized that the reason why he was like this was mostly due to the influence of his biological mother. He should have inherited some abilities from his mother.

Blackheart Mountain.

The situation here did not become sunny and bright because of the death of the evil black-hearted old man.

The dimness here is caused by the special geographical location.

It is said that there is a large amount of evil spirit buried under this mountain, and it is under the influence of this evil spirit that the Black Heart Mountain has become so ferocious.

At this time, Tan Shuchang was refining the second evil ghost.

Tan Shuchang, who was sitting cross-legged in a snow-white robe, was seen with blood constantly flowing out from his surroundings. It seemed like a dream or reality, and near Tan Shuchang, the darkness had obviously weakened.

It was as if some of the evil spirit here had been absorbed.

In the constantly flowing blood, there were two figures. One was a girl with disheveled hair and an extremely pale face. This was the one that Tan Shuchang had caught from the female dormitory.

This evil ghost was full of hostility, and there was only chaotic malice in his eyes. It was obviously an evil ghost that killed without rules. In that weird game, if you encounter this kind of evil ghost, you can only find a way to awaken its last humanity, otherwise you will die.

However, this evil ghost has been refined by Tan Shuchang, so it seems very calm at this moment.

Next to this evil ghost who was killing evil ghosts indiscriminately was a female ghost with a pair of long legs and a graceful figure. Without her head, she would be considered a stunning beauty.

The killing of this female ghost was restricted by rules.

However, at this time, as Tan Shuchang refined her, the rules that bound this female ghost were also constantly disintegrating.

Suddenly, the female ghost let out a shrill howl, and then her whole body turned into a pool of blood. She wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but there was blood flowing everywhere, so the female ghost could not escape.

After about an incense stick of time, the female ghost also calmed down.

This means that Tan Shuchang has already refined her.

Then, Tan Shuchang's expression became a little strange: "It turns out that this female ghost can be used in this way..."
