Chapter 76: Grandparents, Grandchildren, Grandchildren
Murong Qing was lame and moved slowly, Murong Ran supported him, walked in front, and at their invitation, Liu Tong and Long Duan'er followed behind him, heading west, ready to go to their residence to rest and talk in detail.
"Senior Murong, have you seen my ancestor? Met my father-in-law? ”
"No, when they reigned in the world, I was not yet born."
"And how do you tell I'm their heir?"
"My father and ancestors passed down the martial arts of several real people to make sure they knew each other. According to my grandfather, Zhao Shengzhen once said that he wanted to create the Five Elements to teach his disciples, and the Champion Hou's internal strength and mental method obviously evolved from the Five Elements, and it is not difficult to see. Based on this, I conclude that the champion Hou is their descendant or descendant! ”
"I see."
I know a little about Zhao Sheng, Cang Chunzi and Liu Tong, listening to what the old man said, his grandfather should be friends with them, but he doesn't know what kind of relationship it is, and what are the emotional entanglements.
"Seniors, ancestors?"
"Ancestor Murong Chui is a native of Yuqingmen, and Shangqing Cangchunzi, Taiqing Biyin, Zhengyi Mengwei Zhao Sheng, and Zhang E are friends, and they often study Taoism together, learn martial arts, and travel together."
Except for Murong Chui, the others Liu Tong all know something, and the relatively unfamiliar Biyin has also heard the red carp say, strictly speaking, the red carp is still her genetic disciple.
"The Dao Gate is strict, how can they have such a deep friendship?"
"At that time, the Daomen was also harmonious, Biyin Zhenren was the ancestral cousin, Biyin Zhenren loved Zhao Sheng Zhenren, Cang Chunzi and Zhang E were the relatives of the gods, and several people were like-minded, so they became friends."
"Why did the predecessors claim to protect Murong? Why are you waiting for me here? ”
"It's a long story!"
Several people chatted while walking, and after passing a small mountain beam, Murong Qing pointed to a basin below that stretched to the north and said, "This is Manyi Valley, where General Dou Xian hid his troops back then. We are here at the southern end of the Manyi Valley, and you see, this mountain is the Manyi Mountain, and you may see the strangeness of the mountain? ”
Liu Tong looked in the direction indicated by Murong Qing, and saw that the slope of the mountain was steep, and the indicated place was a stone face, ten zhang wide, and the stone face was covered with trees and shrubs on the left and right, and the stone face was very abrupt, and there was also a hill under the stone face.
"This place was originally the same as the surrounding area, but later several real people cut down the earth and rocks here, blocking the hole below."
"But why?"
"Hey, a few real people can't bear the turmoil in the world, Li Min suffers, but I never thought that a few real people have suffered!"
"Oh".
Liu Tong seemed to hear that there was a story in it, thinking that the Murong family had been guarding here for generations, Biyin was seriously injured and died, Zhao Sheng was punished, and Cang Chunzi and his wife were imprisoned, but there was no good result, is it related to this?
Murong Ran tied a few horses to the forest at the bottom of the mountain, and while talking, he took a few people to start climbing the mountain, and after going up for a while, he turned to the left, the left gradually steepened, and then there was a cliff, Liu Tong looked down, a small river, and the south bank of the small river was an endless grassland, mixed with Gobi and hills.
When he got to the nowhere where to go, he saw Murong Ran take out a rope from the crack in the stone, and with a shake, Liu Tong saw clearly that it was a thick rope hanging down from the top of the mountain, and then he saw Murong Ran holding the rope tightly, taking a few steps back, using force under his feet, and his whole body swung with the rope, and he could no longer see his figure.
After a while, the rope swung back again, and Murong Qing grabbed it and swung it over. When the rope came again, because Liu Tong was in front, Liu Tong didn't want Duan'er to go first, so he nodded at her and swung over himself.
Liu Tong's whole body was in the air, and at this time, he found that the cliff at the corner of the cliff and the cliff facing each other across the air were all concave inward, forming a triangle. In the shade, Murong Ran stretched out his hand to pull Liu Tong, Liu Tong's feet were against the stone wall, and with a force, he landed beside Murong Ran, and when he looked closely, there was a hole in the sky, and behind Murong Ran was a one-zhang square hole.
This cave is very hidden, because of the location and angle, it is impossible to see this hole from anywhere down the mountain!
Liu Tong took a cursory look and continued to pay attention to the situation of Duan'er, hoping that she would not be afraid of heights. I saw Murong Ran holding the knot at the end of the rope and swinging the rope again. After a while, Duan'er also came over in the air, and Liu Tong hugged her and put her firmly on the ground. Murong Qing stuffed the rope into the stone crack next to him.
After entering, Murong Ran lit the torch, and Liu Tong followed their grandson and continued to walk down the cave. After a few hundred meters, we came to a huge empty cave, unlike other caves, there were no stalactites or anything like that, and the surrounding area was surrounded by irregular stones, and in some places the soil was exposed. The cave is relatively dry, but there is also a narrow pool on the left-hand side, which is a natural low-lying place, which should be blocked from the bottom and let the seepage slowly accumulate.
Continuing to the north, at this time Liu Tong found that there was a bright light in the cave, and when he looked up, a ray of light was reflected obliquely from the south.
Soon, I came to a wall of earth and stone with regular walls, and the reason why it was called a wall was because it was different from any place I had seen before, and there were obvious traces of man-made, and it should have been built by hand with earth and stone.
The old man followed the wall to a cave door, and when he entered, he found that it was an independent living space, in which stone beds were carved out on three sides along the stone wall, with covers on two sides and some household utensils on the other side.
Murong Ran poured out the water from the clay pot, handed a bowl to everyone, and finally raised his head and drank a bowl of water, wiped his mouth, and smiled at Liu Tonghan. Several people had not drunk water for a long time, and they were thirsty, so they drank it cleanly.
Liu Tong saw that this cave was a living place, but he didn't find any traces of cooking on a fire, so he asked, "Senior, how do you cook and eat when you live here?" ”
Murong Ran didn't speak all the way, but at this time he rushed to answer, his voice was hoarse, which may be due to his own bad voice, or it may be caused by his voice change during puberty.
"Childe, there is a place to cook opposite, and the food is inexhaustible."
Liu Tong wondered, why do you say that food is inexhaustible? At this time, he saw that his grandfather was also nodding.
Murong Ran pointed to the stone bench on the ground, Liu Tong and Duan'er sat down, there were only two stone benches, and the two of them sat on the stone bed.
"Senpai, what about your other family members?" Liu Tong thinks that since Murong Ran is Murong Qing's grandson, they should have other family members, otherwise how did Murong Ran come here?
"Champion Hou, the ancestor is a disciple of Yuqing, everyone did something that is beneficial to the peace of the world, but it violated the decree of the Daomen, at that time the ancestor and Biyin Zhenren respected and admired Zhao Shengzhenren, although he was the leader, but also avoided him to do what the Daomen did not allow. Everyone has to be punished to varying degrees, Zhao Sheng Zhenren thinks that this cave has all the five elements and is a place of refuge, so he persuaded the ancestors and Biyin Zhenren to live in seclusion here, and guard the things here by the way. The ancestors remained. Because Biyin Zhenren missed Zhao Zhenren, he didn't follow his instructions, and he went out of the cave to look for it when he was dissatisfied, and then he was never heard from. ”
Hearing this, Liu Tong sighed, this Biyin originally admired Zhao Sheng, for Zhao Sheng to bear and commit a felony in Daomen, and because he wanted to see his lover, after getting out of the cave, he was punished by Daomen, and when he was seriously injured, he wanted to return to his roots, and he didn't dare to return to the ancestral court, so he feathered himself in a cave in Kuanglu Mountain in Taiqing. It can be regarded as an explanation to the master, and it is not in vain that her hard work is that in the end, the Nine Dragon Whip and the Nine Dragon Whip Law did return to Taiqing Gate. This also fulfilled the red carp, but the red carp did not worship her as a teacher, nor did he learn too much Taoism.
At this time, Murong Qing continued: "The ancestor was originally a Han Chinese, and when he was young, his family was taken captive by Xianbei, and became a slave of the Xianbei Murong family between the Lamulun River and the Taoer River. Following the instructions of Zhao Shengzhen and several people, after guarding this place, he kept learning the news: Biyin Zhenren disappeared after being seriously injured, and Cang Chunzi and his wife were hunted down. Zhao Shengzhen was deliberately protected by several people because of his cultivation, and he did not participate in that matter, but he was not affected much, and soon heard that he had ascended. The ancestor saw that the punishment of the Daomen was basically over, and Yuqing couldn't find himself, so he gradually forgot about it, so he dared to go out by chance. Thinking that he would soon grow old, but there would be no one to inherit his heavy responsibilities, he lived in seclusion and started a family. ”
"Oh, I'm married, why do you still live here?"
"When the ancestors got married and had children, they went away again, and they were nowhere to be found. When I was three years old, he suddenly took me away, and I already had four brothers in my life. ”
"Why is that?"
"After that, I came here to live with my ancestors, who not only taught me to cultivate, but also entrusted me with this important responsibility. When I came of age, I also returned to my family, and I also married and had children, and after giving birth to children, I also left, according to the instructions of my ancestors, when I was old and weak, and I chose the best of all the grandchildren and brought him here. Next year, Ran'er can also go home and get married, and when I feather, all this will be handed over to him! ”
Liu Tong was terrified, this guardian of the Murong family is really a promise! For the sake of a mission, it is really a succession of ancestors and grandchildren. What a state this is!
