Chapter 10: The Love of the Ages
Finally left the Kunlun Ancient Realm and arrived at the Kunlun Mountains, Li Moyun didn't leave, he wanted to know what they had come to do and what they were going to do, as well as Li Xiaoxiao's situation.
Ling Tan had no choice but to tell the truth while making it up, which was a mixed bag, "Li Xiaoxiao's body is almost unstable, the aura of the Seven Exquisite Heart is too much needed, and she needs a place to continuously help her stabilize her body, and the second key to the golden book of the 'Sealed Bronze Inscription' is in the West Queen Mother Temple, so a few of us discussed coming to the Kunlun Ancient Realm, killing two birds with one stone." After explaining this, he also told Li Moyun that Li Xiaoxiao agreed, and that this second key was related to whether his mother could be rescued.
Li Moyun finally raised his head when he heard Ling Tan mention his mother, and there was a look in his eyes. and looked at Li Han, and Li Han lived up to expectations and told some secrets.
"At the time, I didn't know that your mother didn't agree to let her go with us at all, but secretly made an agreement with the Wu Clan. (The agreement was roughly that she would trade her children for three years of living with Lihan.) If she is born to a girl, let her be the next saint, and if it is a boy, she will be the guardian of the next saint, and marry her as a wife and serve her. Because men have no status in the Wu clan, only those who have made outstanding contributions can have a say in the community. (The owner of the spiritual vein will inherit the spiritual vein, and the first child born is usually the inheritor)
Li Han looked at Li Moyun and took a deep breath and said, "Your mother was originally a candidate for the previous Holy Maiden, but she was locked up in the forbidden place because of our affairs, and I also wanted to go to him, but I couldn't do anything on my own, until I found out that you had a spiritual vein, and I had hope." Not only have you inherited the spiritual vein of your mother's Wu clan, but more importantly, you were born as an awakened person in the 'Realm of Inspiration', and you are also the first one in the Ling'an clan in a thousand years, so I want you to go to Taohuawu to persuade my Ling'an clan elder to put pressure on the Wu clan, and then use your ability to help the Wu clan solve the matter of Wushan, and ask the Wu clan to let your mother out, this is all my plans. Originally, your spiritual vein was still there, so you didn't need to go to the ancient emperor's mausoleum to repair the spiritual vein, but now that your spiritual vein is half destroyed, you can only make this decision. ”
Speaking of this, Li Han paused for a moment, and then said, "Don't worry, I have already told Xiaoxiao, it was she who agreed to implement this plan, and I didn't want her to do it at first, but Xiaoxiao said that without your mother, there would have been no her, I ....... Anyway, I'll definitely help you get Xiaoxiao out. ”
"Hmph! You said a bunch of excuses, you haven't taken advantage of my sister yet," Li Moyun turned his head sideways with red eyes. Although he has accepted his fate in his heart, he is still sad, he is the mother on the one hand and the person he loves the most, he can't give up, maybe he agrees with his father's decision, but he doesn't approve of his approach, after all, it's not cost-effective to exchange one. What's more, it is not directly successful, if there is any problem halfway, then it will be a failure.
"Don't you want to see your mother again, she loves you so much, but now you are suffering in the forbidden land of the Wu Clan, can you bear it?" Li Han was a little anxious, he was afraid that Li Moyun would not approve of his plan, so he grabbed Li Moyun's shoulders tightly.
Li Moyun shook his hand away, shook his head and asked loudly, "Look at your current appearance, what face do you have to mention your mother to me, if you weren't useless, how could your mother be arrested, you will only study your useless things, what's the difference between it and wretched!"
"Eh, how do you talk to your father? no matter how much he is your father, and how much your father gave up for your mother, the children's family doesn't understand anything, and they talk nonsense all day. Li Yan couldn't stand it anymore, so he educated Li Moyun. In fact, he understands his brother's mind very well, and he also sees what he has done for many years, and he knows that his younger brother is good at everything, it is a matter of decision, even if he pays any price, he will never look back. He also felt a lot about what happened back then, the three brothers and sisters were driven out of the Ling'an clan, and they were not allowed to use the Ling family as their surname, so the three of them changed their surname to their mother's surname.
"Then you tell me, you don't say anything, just let me do this and that, no one is willing, not to mention that you lied to me before, my mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, and they are all liars......" Li Moyun was not convinced, and asked rhetorically.
"Okay, okay, let's not say a word, the matter has come to this, we should find a way to solve the problem, not question each other. The plan for today is to find a way to enter the tomb of Emperor Xi to restore Xiaoyun's spiritual veins, and by the way, find the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, it is best to kill two birds with one stone. I really can't do it, and I have to go back to Taohuawu. Ling Tan on the side opened his mouth to persuade. "Be quiet and think about your next plan to make sure you don't go wrong."
Then there was a period of silence, and several people tacitly stopped talking, left the Kunlun Mountains, and returned along the snow-capped mountains, and the journey was extremely smooth.
When the group returned to Ruoqiang County, it was already evening, Ling Tan proposed to stay here for one night temporarily and take a plane back to Chang'an tomorrow, everyone was a little tired after a few days of running, and Li Moyun didn't say a word, Ling Tan patted him on the shoulder when he saw him like this, and asked him to talk at night. After eating, everyone went back to their rooms, only Ling Tan left the hotel alone, he came to a house that looked a little old, stopped, stared at the mark on the door in a daze for a long time, exhaled, and finally walked to the door and knocked on the door. It didn't take long for an old voice to come from inside the door: "A thousand years have passed, and the world has not been heard." Hearing this, Ling Tan whispered softly, "When the wind and clouds meet, I will break through the clouds." After that, the wooden door slowly opened, and only an old man sat quietly on a wicker chair in the huge courtyard, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be lifeless.
"The elder, Ling Tan visits, there is something important to tell you. Ling Tan raised his hands into fists, bowed his head and knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.
"Arise and speak to me in detail. The old man still hadn't opened his eyes, and Ling Tan couldn't even feel where the voice came from.
Hearing this, Ling Tan stood up, leaned forward and half-bowed his head and said, "Great Relic, Feng Tongming has already collected two keys, and the one in the ancient imperial tomb is still missing, and it can be fully opened." In addition, although the spiritual vein of this child was destroyed, he accidentally obtained the thunder vein, if his spiritual vein is restored, then his future is limitless, you see......."
"When you have successfully found the three keys and taken their father and son back to Taohuawu to meet me, I will make my own arrangements. The old man's voice was a little more majestic, and the whole courtyard seemed to shake. After hearing this, Ling Tan opened his mouth and paused, and finally said, "Uh, yes, disciple farewell." After saying that, he turned and left, and when he stepped out of the door railing with his hind feet, the wooden door slammed shut. Ling Tan walked a few more steps before looking back at the mansion, shaking his head and sighing, his eyes were a little wandering, and he left here after a few breaths.
By the time Ling Tan returned to his residence, it was already around 10 o'clock in the evening, and at night in the northwest, the wind was unexpectedly refreshing, and his blood could be calmed down like a lake in late autumn. Ling Tan walked down the stairs to the landing on the roof, and when he opened the door, he saw Li Moyun alone with his arms on the edge of the wall. And his sad and affectionate gaze quietly looking at the direction of the snow-capped mountain made the icy night breeze even cooler. Ling Tan paused for a moment, exhaled, took out his right hand inserted in his jacket pocket, walked forward and put his hand on his left shoulder, patted it twice, and said softly, "Ahem...... Xiaoyun, I know you're sad in your heart, some things are so bizarre, maybe this is fate. Our Ling'an clan can't escape the shackles of fate after all, it's been thousands of years, and it's time to end it now. I won't go into detail about the history of the Ling'an clan for the time being, when you successfully repair the spiritual vein, even if you don't want to know, you will be unable to help yourself. ”
"Uncle Tan, maybe I don't understand your thoughts, I don't care what mission or destiny, I just want to be plain, is it so difficult to live with the person you love?" Li Moyun said with a blank face.
"Alas," Ling Tan paused, "haven't you always wanted to know about your parents?" I'll tell you now, but whatever you think after listening to it, you have to hold me down, or I won't help you with anything after that. After Ling Tan finished speaking, he glanced at Li Moyun, and after seeing that he nodded his head slightly, he said as if no one was around: "Your father was the most prestigious and powerful person of the younger generation of the Ling'an clan back then, and when he was young, he traveled south and north to see all kinds of worlds. Your father was about 10 years old at the time, and it was he who went to Wudang Mountain alone to see the authentic Taijiquan and swordsmanship, but the social environment at that time prevented him from getting his wish. On the way down the mountain, you met an old man with white hair and a shawl, and according to your father, who was later heard that the old man was over 100 years old, saw the old man sitting by the stream, and took the initiative to talk to the old man:
("Old man, the mountain spring water is cold, you are old and not good for your health, let me help you go home.") The old man did not answer, but sat quietly. Seeing this, Ling Han didn't say much, sat down beside the old man, and calmed down to drive away the cold for the old man. It didn't take long for the old man to finally speak, "The little doll is not very old, but her luck is good, and it seems that she is also from a big family." Ling Han hurriedly replied, "Yes, Ling Han, a descendant of the younger Ling'an clan." "No wonder...... It's a pity that I'm not waiting for you~~ I don't have much time, I can't wait for your child's arrival, so it's okay to hand it over to you, you come with me. Ling Han was a little puzzled by the old man's words, but he still did so. When he came to a wooden house in the mountains, the old man looked at the locust tree on the side and felt a little sad, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Little doll, I will teach you Tai Chi Yang Boxing in a month from now, but you remember that when your child finds that his body has symptoms of yin and cold when he is a child, he will give him this boxing method to let him understand the meaning of the mantra by the way, and it is up to him to see the future of him." After speaking, he began to practice a set of boxing techniques, ignoring Ling Han's reaction. Seeing this, Ling Han had to follow the old man to learn boxing in a daze. A week later, Ling Han had fully learned the boxing technique, and the mantra had been memorized, he found that he had not seen the old man for a day, when he pushed open the door, he found that the old man was leaning on the rattan chair motionless, and after approaching, he felt that the old man was lifeless, Ling Han was very sad, bowed to the old man, and then buried the old man under the locust tree. Ling Han looked at the wooden house and then at the locust tree, and with a fist salute in disappointment, he left gloomily. )”
Ling Tan took a deep breath, "Later, after you were born, your father found out that your body was different, because the spiritual veins caused the body to be congenitally cold, and then he remembered the old man's words and went up to Wudang Mountain alone. But no matter how he looked, he couldn't find the wooden house and locust tree of the year, so he climbed the mountain to visit the head of Wudang at that time, and only when he mentioned this matter did he know that Wudang had a pulse to study medical skills, and Zhang Sanfeng created Tai Chi to regulate the body and save people. Later, there was a child of his apprentice who was born with a yin vein, and he could not survive the weak crown, so he tried every means to cure the child, so he searched for strange people in the world to find a solution, but unfortunately to no avail, the child grew up day by day, but the body became weaker and weaker, and he could not do anything in his eyes. Later, he thought of the principle of yin and yang balance in Tai Chi, and after thinking about it for a long time, he came up with the idea of letting children cultivate their own yang qi to counter yin qi. He improved the basic Taijiquan, extracted the masculine part and eliminated the feminine part, creating the foundation of Taiji-Yang Boxing. That kid can be regarded as the path of the heavens, Tai Chi Yang Fist combined with the Chaoxia purple qi to force down the yin veins, so that he was able to survive. In order to save people like himself, the child began to study medicine, and the Tai Chi Yang Boxing according to the medical book 'Emperor Neijing' slowly improved to have the current complete Tai Chi Yang Boxing, and then Wudang was divided into two branches of Wu and Yimai, but Tai Chi Boxing wants to Dacheng needs a combination of Yang Boxing and Yin Boxing, Yin Boxing Zhang Family is only a woman, and Yang Boxing has been lost for more than 200 years, but I didn't expect it to be accidentally obtained by your father. ”
Hearing this, Li Moyun's eyes widened and he finally figured out the mantra given to him by his father, he could only understand the first part, and he couldn't understand the second part, so it sounded like the second half of the article was not related to the meridians of the person. At this time, he suddenly realized that the true essence of Tai Chi Yang Boxing lies in the meridian position, not blindly fierce and radical, attacking the opponent's meridian position when attacking the enemy, from here to achieve the realm of rigidity and softness, yin and yang. "It seems that the reading of this medical book can't run, go back and find a way to take the boxing to the next level, as for Tai Chi Yin Boxing, it only depends on luck. ”
"By the way, Uncle Tan, what does this have to do with my parents?" asked Li Moyun puzzled.
"It's a big deal, if your father didn't practice Tai Chi Yang Boxing, it's fine, but if he does, it's the biggest problem. The masculinity cultivated by Tai Chi Yang Boxing is too heavy and focuses on attack, so your father rarely speaks in order to suppress his radical character, because Yin and Yang attract each other, so that your father and your mother have intersections. Ling Tan thought for a moment and then said, "Just when your father was 2 or 4 years old, he met your mother near the East China Sea, what happened to your father never mentioned, only that the two had been missing for three months. Your mother Ling Ruoyu does not have the surname Ling, because there is no fixed surname in the Wu clan, and whoever marries will have the surname with whomever she marries, but there is a rule in this, that is, the Wu clan only enters and does not leave, and only those who enter are not married. Moreover, the Wu clan is a remnant of a matriarchal society, and men have no right to speak, so there is a big problem between your mother and your father. The ten clans meet once every twenty years, and in order to keep in touch with each other's marriages, they will decide on the younger generation of heroes and recruit them, of course, the Ling'an clan is not among the ten clans, because the Ling'an clan is a hidden clan. Your father secretly participated in the competition of the Ten Clans for your mother, and won the first place over the others, and then the Ling'an Clan re-entered the eyes of the world. ”
Li Moyun was a little curious about the competition of the ten clans, so he asked, "Uncle Tan, what are the ten clans competing in?"
Ling Tan was a little surprised by his words, "Ah? I remember~~ You have participated in the Ten Clans Competition, what should you know?"
Hearing this, Li Moyun's eyes were a little dazed, as if he remembered and didn't seem to remember, he held his head, and always felt that some pictures were blurry in his mind, but he couldn't grasp the point. Theoretically, his memory has been restored, and it should be impossible to forget, but he just doesn't remember that he has participated in the Ten Clans Competition, as if it has never happened, and he only vaguely remembers a woman but can't remember what it looks like. Seeing that Li Moyun's expression was a little wrong, Ling Tan hurriedly said, "If you can't think of it, forget it, I'll tell you again." The first test is to compete with force, because force is the foreshadowing of the latter item, and only the use of qi is skilled enough to find the direction of the dragon vein of the earth, so as to ensure the prosperity and decline of the clan. The second item is to compare the control of the 'Seven Star Disk', that is, the degree of use of Qimen Dunjia. The Qimen Dunjia here contains the mastery of astronomy and geography, the gossip of the nine palaces and thaumaturgy. Back to your father's time, I have to say that he is indeed a genius through the ages, and his control over the 'Seven Star Disk' has reached the peak of the Seven Stars. It is said that his strength crushed all his peers at that time, so he let the ten clans try all kinds of means to win over, but unfortunately your father only has your mother in his eyes, and your mother is also fascinated by your father's performance, the Wu clan will find a way to lead your father into the Wu clan's clan land, the Wu clan is easy to enter and difficult to get out, just when your father promised to go with him, the nine relics of the Ling'an clan who were in charge of punishment appeared, threatening to take your father back to enforce the clan rules, of course the ten clans were unwilling, the older generation of people took action, and in just a few breaths, the nine relics of the old man frustrated the enemy, and then blocked your father's meridians and took him away。 Your mother watched from afar as the person she loved was taken away, but she couldn't do anything about it, and she was overwhelmed with sadness, and it didn't take long for her to become ill. When your father heard that your mother was sick and was going to leave secretly, I didn't approve of him leaving, but he said, "Without Yu'er, there would be no current me, and whoever stops me will cut off relations with him." After that, no one dared to stop him, just when he sneaked out of the edge of the clan world, he was caught by the Nine Relics, he knew that he and the Nine Relics were mantis arms blocking the car and even hurt himself, so he said to the Nine Relics that if he didn't let him go, he would pay for his own muscles, and when the two of them were deadlocked, the voice of the Great Relics echoed around, and now thinking of that picture shocked us too much. ”
Ling Tan closed his eyes and remembered the scene at that time:
("Is she so important to you? the clan doesn't care!") The voice of the Great Relic echoed in the air.
"Yes," Ling Han replied without hesitation.
"Even if it's for me, can you not go?" the voice in the air was a little sad
Ling Han was silent for a moment, slowly knelt down, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, master, I ......"
"Needless to say, I know your intentions, you can go, don't come back until the time comes. After this sentence sounded between heaven and earth, there was no more silence, and Ling Han knelt alone while repeating sorry while bursting into tears. The Nine Relic Elders on the side glanced at him lightly, and said expressionlessly, "You go, even your vein is gone, you can't call yourself Ling outside, you can do it yourself, hum! It's really unteachable" shook his head, and disappeared in place after speaking.
Ling Han knelt for a long time, buckled three heads in front of the clan, got up, and turned around and left without the slightest hesitation. )
Ps: (The five clans and the ten families are referred to as the ten clans, probably including the Wu family, the Zhang family, the Ji family, the Jiang family, the Dugu family, the Yuwen family, the Nangong family, the Sima family, the Zhuge family, the Kong family, the Li family, the Xiao family, the Zheng family, the Wang family, the Tuoba family, the Jiuli family, the Yuanqi family, etc.)
There are more than 15 families in the five clans and ten families, and the families that have been very influential in each era throughout the ages are basically counted, of course, there are those who have perished and those who are emerging. The Ling'an clan was the first clan of the five clans and ten families, and later retired because of the internal strife in the clan. )
