Hearing Li Jing's question, the Daoist answered with a smile, "This poor Daoist is Taiyi True Person of Qianyuan Mountain Golden Light Cave. I study under Primordial Heavenly Lord of Kunlun Mountain Jade Void Palace. I heard that your third son had been born, so I came to offer my congratulations. Might the general bring the young master out and allow me to have a look?"
Li Jing was startled when he heard this and hurriedly bowed in greeting once more.
"So you are a Saint's Disciple. This junior pays his respects to the Immortal Elder."
As he spoke, he quickly ordered the servants to go inside and bring out the son Lady Yin had just given birth to.
When Taiyi True Person saw the child, he took him directly into his arms and examined him again and again. After a while, he asked, "At what hour was this child born?"
Li Jing answered, "He was born during Ugly Hour."
Taiyi True Person frowned and said, "This is bad."
Li Jing immediately grew anxious. "May I ask the Immortal Elder, does this mean that the child cannot be raised?"
"Not so." Taiyi True Person shook his head. "Judging by this child's features, being born during Ugly Hour means that he is fated to commit killing."
He then asked, "Have you given him a name yet?"
Li Jing shook his head. "Not yet."
"In that case, why not let this poor Daoist give him a name and accept him as my disciple?"
Hearing Taiyi True Person's words, Li Jing was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "That would be my son's good fortune."
Taiyi True Person asked again, "How many sons do you have, General?"
Li Jing replied, "I have two more sons. My eldest is Jinzha, and my second is Muzha."
