In the thirteenth year of Tianshun, the sixth day of the sixth month of June.

"I have a daughter-in-law, work harder." The weather in June was extremely hot and dry, and the long-term dry weather was even more disturbing, the doors and windows of a dilapidated hut in Guoshu Village, Jintan County, were closed, and the light was dim, Granny Liu wiped the sweat on her forehead, and encouraged the mother with a nervous look. Yu Dayou's lips were pale, listening to his daughter-in-law's hoarse shouts outside the door, rubbing his hands back and forth, a two-year-old girl on the side looked at her father's anxious appearance, a little ignorant.

After a long time, a baby's loud cry came from the inside, Yu Dayou couldn't wait to open the door curtain directly and went in, Granny Liu's voice came from the house, "Why did you come in, what are you in a hurry, Cuilian gave birth to a little girl for you!" ”

The little girl didn't understand why her father left her and left, but she heard the sound outside the door in confusion, she took small steps and took a long time to open the door, a cool breeze blew in, and the fine rain fell on her face, the little girl licked the water droplets on her lips, sucked her fingers and became happy, "Rain, rain......"

Not far from Taihe Mountain, in front of the Taiyuan Treasure Hall of the Qing Palace in Jiuxiao, a young Taoist was soaked, kneeling on the ground, the stone bricks under his body already had a shallow layer of stagnant water, and although the swaddling clothes in his hand were made by making up the strips of cloth torn from his clothes, he was not wet at all.

"Master, the apprentice is incompetent, and he didn't protect his brother and sister-in-law."

There was an old Taoist man in white clothes and white hair standing in the main hall, who sighed leisurely after listening to the young Taoist's words.

"Shi Ye, fate also, for the teacher, he had already calculated that Yunfeng and his wife should have this catastrophe, but they didn't escape it in the end, but this child was unexpected." In the old Taoist hexagram the day before yesterday, it was clear that the couple died and were stillborn, but who expected that the child would survive this catastrophe and survive.

The young Taoist wiped his tears and sobbed, "It's my sister-in-law, I cut open my belly and took out the child before leaving." The bloody and tragic scene imprinted a deep imprint in the young Taoist's mind, the young woman who was pregnant for nine months had a dilated eye, and her vitality was about to be cut off, she bit her lip and hung her breath, and personally cut open her belly with a dagger to take out the child in her womb, looking at the child in her hand, the woman showed a relieved smile, and then passed away suddenly.

"Yao Zheng is named after the word Zheng, and his perseverance is very comparable. It seems that it is Yao Zheng who has a strong belief in life and death that can fight for the child. The old Taoist sighed and took the swaddling clothes in the hands of his apprentice, and when he saw the white jade-like girl in his arms, he was suddenly shocked, and his face showed disbelief, "How is it possible!" ”

The old Taoist's hands trembled, and he asked in a deep voice, "Yunfan, when was this child born?" ”

Yun Fan saw that Shizun's expression was serious, and he didn't dare to slack off, the situation was critical at the beginning, he didn't pay attention to the time when the child was born, and now he thinks back, when the scorching sun was overhead, the shadow was only at his feet, "Back to Shizun, the child was born at noon." ”

At noon, the mother died, and the old man looked up at the sky, and the sky was already covered by a cloud, and there was no starlight, and the rain was dripping, but it brought life to the long-arid earth, and if he remembered correctly, the rain also began to fall at noon.

"It's going to change." The old Taoist sighed leisurely, and carried the child into the inner hall, "I give this woman the name Nianchu, and take her under the door as my closed disciple." From today onwards, I am no longer the head of the Qing Palace in Jiuxiao, and all mundane affairs will be taken care of by Senior Brother Ling Hua. ”
