Chapter 237 - 135: Thread in the Loving Mother’s Hand
Different kinds of rice nurture different kinds of people, and children raised by the same mother can have different dispositions.
Even in courage, there are differences.
Matters in this context can’t be easily explained, just like how people say there is black and white, and good and evil, yet some things are not so clearly defined.
Guan Xiaohu bringing back a dead infant to repay Guan Huapo’s upbringing cannot be deemed wrong; but neither can her expelling of the fostering, grateful adoptive son be considered entirely right.
These conflicting matters resemble the tangled threads in a sewing basket, impossible to unravel clearly.
Xu Qing shook his head slightly; regardless of the process, Guan Xiaohu ultimately went astray and committed irreversible wrongs.
Now that Guan Huapo’s body has been rendered salvation, the Sutra of Salvation provided the corresponding evaluation of the corpse: Earth Top Grade.
The reward included a craft skill named the Mother and Child Needle Technique, and a mourning staff named the Filial Piety Stick.
The Mother and Child Needle Technique can rejuvenate broken items, restore what was thought shattered beyond repair; it transcends mere worldly craftsmanship, nearing the divine and mystical.
The Filial Piety Stick is a mourning staff crafted from Fusang Wood.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas tells that in Tang Valley there exists the Fusang Tree, where ten suns bathe, situated north of the Black-Toothed folk.
