Chapter 103: The Blood Kinship Taboo

I still can’t come to my senses. What my mother said in my ear sounded like an absurd story meant to fool a child. Only her solemn and serious face reminded me that she was definitely not joking with me.

"So, why did you fail? What happened afterward?" I tried to keep up with her pace and took a deep breath before asking.

The mother continued, "As the descendants of our patriarch, we should all inherit his teachings. This has been the foundation of our lives secretly all these years. But there’s actually... a taboo..."

As my mother spoke, her big eyes gazed at me with a profound look in them.

I asked eagerly, "What taboo?"

My mother’s delicate, fair hands caressed my palm. She gently lowered her head and sighed, then looked up at me softly and said, "Xiaobin, you love your mother very much, don’t you? It’s not just the love between mother and son... When I came back from America, I discovered that your love for your mother is extraordinary..."

I was taken aback, wondering why she brought this up. I quickly grabbed her cold hand and said, "Of course I love Mom. You’re the one I love most. No one is more important to me than you!"

My mother gently bit her red lips, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and gazed at me softly, saying, "Mom knows, of course Mom knows how you feel, Xiaobin. Mom loves you too. What mother in this world doesn’t love her own son? Xiaobin, you are also the person I love most in my heart. Whether as a son or as a man, Mom loves you!"

My mother leaned close to me affectionately, her wet hair cascading over her shoulders, emitting a captivating fragrance. Her voluptuous, steaming body was half-hidden in her pajamas, pressed tightly against me. Her stunningly beautiful face spoke to me tenderly and affectionately, completely mesmerizing me, making me feel as if I were in a dream.

"But that’s the problem," Mom said, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

I wondered what kind of question this was, and was about to speak when my mother saw my eager look, put a pink and white finger to my lips, and made a "shh" gesture.

"Let Mom finish speaking." She sat up straight, her expression becoming solemn.

I dared not be negligent and stared at her. She waited for a while and then slowly said, "Because, in the Taoist arts of our ancestor, there is a great taboo called ’blood kinship taboo’!"

"Blood kinship taboo!?" I asked in confusion.

"In ancient times, it was common for large families to have blood relatives, such as cousins marrying each other or relatives who were not far apart in blood. This was very common. However, when the patriarch passed down this Taoist technique to his disciples, if they violated this taboo and had intimate relationships with their own relatives or close relatives, the blood ties would make them uneasy, and this Taoist technique would become greatly ineffective. Although different families could marry each other, incestuous behavior among family members was absolutely forbidden, such as between father and daughter, son and mother, or between siblings. Once it happened, the family’s magical power would be severely damaged, and it would take nearly a hundred years to recover."

Mom said it solemnly, word by word.

My heart skipped a beat, as if I remembered something. My mother said sadly, "Now you know why I absolutely cannot have any romantic feelings or physical relationship with you. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that... I have heavy responsibilities right now, so I can only put these things aside for now."

"I reminded you before, but you’re just obsessed with me. It’s also because I haven’t been by your side for the past three years and I owe you so much. But if you keep bothering me, and I... lose my temper and mess things up, then I’ll have let down everything that our ancestors have done over the years. Do you understand?!"

My mind flashed back to everything that happened after my mother returned to China, and I finally understood the truth. It turned out that my mother did not mean to make things difficult for me or distance herself from me. It was just because of my own immaturity and ideas that she had no choice but to try to make me give up on my own initiative.

"You have acted impulsively before, forcing your mother to do something. I know how you feel about me, so I deliberately had a relationship with Yao Liang in the hope that you would give up on me. On the other hand, I also wanted to win over the Yao family’s power, since he is the key to the sealing ceremony. Don’t blame your mother."

My mother spoke to me, her breath sweet as orchids and her beautiful eyes blinking.

I nodded, thinking I understood, but I still felt that this reason was absolutely ridiculous. How could I possibly be close to my mother then?

Wouldn’t that mean there’s absolutely no hope, and we can only watch helplessly as she goes to bed with other men?

"Just now... I saw Yao Liang come..." I said in a low voice, my voice filled with resentment.

My mother looked a little surprised, then squeezed my hand and smiled, "Xiao Bin saw it?"

I nodded, and Mom gracefully brushed her hair behind her ear, revealing her fair and delicate neck. She smiled and said, "That little pervert has been pestering me for the past few days, asking me out several times. I can’t be too cold to him, so I went out for dinner with him tonight."

"And then?" I asked, inexplicably interested in what their date entailed, my penis still feeling a little swollen.

My mother glanced at my crotch out of the corner of her eye and said with a smile, "Then he drove me back home. He kept touching me inappropriately, and I was so anxious that I gave in to him in the car."

Damn it! I cursed inwardly, thinking about Yao Liang teasing and flirting with my mother, and the erotic scenes of them having sex in the car. My penis immediately became fully erect.

Looking at my bulging crotch, Mom covered her mouth and giggled. She playfully flicked my penis with her pink and white fingers and said, "You pervert, Xiao Bin, you heard Mom and Yao Liang making love, and you got hard again?"

I gasped, "Yeah, and then you guys went to the bathroom to do it, right..."

"Giggle giggle," Mom giggled, looking at me with her beautiful eyes, and said with a seductive and wanton tone, "Well, after we did it in the bathroom, we did it again on this sofa before I chased him away, which made me take another shower."

I was filled with anger and jealousy. Seeing my displeasure, my mother gently comforted me, "Xiaobin, I’m also a divorced, single, middle-aged woman. My desires are at their peak, and it’s perfectly normal for me to look for men. No matter how much Yao Liang tries to please me, I only see him as a younger lover, someone I enjoy physical pleasure with. I won’t develop any real feelings for him. But you are my precious son, my most beloved son, and that will never change. Do you understand?"

Seeing my mother gently comfort me, I felt a little relieved, and my erect penis slowly softened.

We were silent for a moment, then I slowly asked, "So, Mom, what you just said... how will this ceremony proceed? How long until it begins?"

My mother held my hand and said solemnly, "This Saturday night, the Zhu family is holding a banquet for important leaders and business tycoons from the city. On the surface, it’s a social dance and banquet, but in reality, we will be holding a secret meeting of our four major families that night. Xiaobin, you and your mother must attend."

"The Zhu family? Is it Zhu Yun’s brother?" I asked.

"Yes, the Zhu family made a big mistake last time, which caused the ceremony to fail. But they have been the head of the four major families for generations, and they always summon us before the ceremony," Mom said.

I asked in confusion, "What big mistake do you mean by the Zhu family, Mom?"

Mom brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, looked at me and said, "Xiaobin, can’t you figure it out yet? It’s what Mom just said."

It was only then that I realized what was happening, and I exclaimed in surprise, "A blood taboo?! Could it be the Zhu family?"

The mother nodded, a look of disdain in her eyes, and said, "Twenty years ago, Zhu Yun and her brother Zhu Yu actually committed incest. I don’t know how their ancestors raised them, but the two of them shamelessly got together, causing serious problems with the Zhu family’s Taoist practices. Coincidentally, the Zhu siblings’ parents died early due to illness, and Zhu Yu was the one who supported the ritual that time, which resulted in the ritual failing, leading to all these subsequent problems. In short, the two of them are the culprits!"

As I watched my mother speak with hatred, a sense of unease crept into my heart. I said, "Could it be that the siblings didn’t know about this taboo in the first place, and that they just developed feelings for each other, leading to an unintentional mishap..."

"Then you should blame them for their bad behavior! Your grandfather was seriously injured during that ceremony and died soon after. Your grandmother was injured and went to America for treatment, but she hasn’t fully recovered yet. The Yao family’s elder was injured and died on the spot. That monster even escaped and has been at large all these years. It’s all because of them. What a tragedy!"

My mother said emotionally. I rarely saw her like this. She must be really angry. I quickly held her hand to comfort her.

I looked at her full, firm breasts rising and falling beside me, swallowed hard, and then asked doubtfully, "Mom, you said that demon ran away, so where did it go? Can you find it?"

Mother gave a soft "humph" and smiled slightly, "That’s a question for the Zhu siblings. But we’ve got a basic idea of where it is now. That demon is most adept at possessing people’s bodies, especially those who are weak and unprepared. However, I heard your grandmother say that it has been sealed for a very long time and its vital energy has been severely damaged. It will take a long time to fully recover. But it also knows that it is weak and can only recover its strength in secret. It will also secretly hinder the four major families from holding the sealing ceremony again. So this sealing can be said to be crucial and the key to remedying everything."

I nodded, thinking that this was good. Mom continued, "Xiaobin, after Saturday’s meeting, there are only about ten days left until the ceremony. We have several important things to do in the remaining time. You need to help Mom."

"Okay, Mom, you go ahead."

"Mom has noticed some unusual people in the past few months. I feel that these things are not simple. You have been to Jingzhou University several times and you seem to be a college student. I need you to help me investigate something."

I asked, "What is it?"

Mother said, "Inside Jingzhou University, there is a library called Tongyue Building..."

"Oh, I know, I’ve been there. Zhu Yun works there as a librarian, and that’s where I first met her," I quickly said.

My mother looked surprised, fell into deep thought for a moment, and then looked at me and said, "Where did you meet her? Do you know what kind of place that is?"

Something suddenly popped into my mind, and I said to my mother, "Mom, wait a minute, I’m going to get something."

After I finished speaking, I ran back to my room as fast as I could, took out the "map" that I had obtained in the basement downstairs from the back of my bedside table, and then ran back to my mother in the living room.

"Mom, look!" I said, handing it to my mother.

My mother took the map from my hand, stared at it for a while, and said in surprise, "Xiaobin, this looks like something left behind by our ancestor. Where did you get it?"

"A long time ago, when we first moved in, I found it under the table in front of that stone statue in the basement. Look at the middle of it, doesn’t it look like the Tongyue Building at Jingzhou University?"

Mom examined the map carefully again and nodded, saying, "Yes, indeed, this is a map of the fishing villages near Jingzhou from long ago. The place marked in the middle is Tongyue Tower, but it had another name in ancient times."

"Another name?" I asked, puzzled.

My mother nodded, looked up at me and said, "Yes, it’s called Tongyue Taoist Temple. After Master Yuhai traveled here, he used this temple to perform a demon-slaying ritual and finally sealed the demon in the temple’s underground chamber."

I was extremely surprised. It turned out that Tongyue Tower was the place where the demons were suppressed. No wonder this map was left behind.

"So what’s this place used for now? It’s a university library now."

"Yes, although it has been rebuilt countless times, the underground chamber that seals the demon has always been there, and the people of the four major families go there to hold a ceremony every twenty years."

I broke out in a cold sweat, remembering the strange scene when I sneaked in there last time and saw Zhu Yun in her pajamas. I quickly told my mother about it.
