Chapter 2 The Return of the Northland
In the spring of the third year of Jianlong, a group of more than 50 refugees came from the north. They were ragged and thin-skinned. In fact, since Jianlong signed an alliance with the Jin people in the second year, there are few refugees from the north who cross the Cheng River in the south, and most of them choose to settle down along the Cheng River, after all, as long as there is water, there is still hope, and when they go to the south, they have to support themselves.
Among this group of refugees, there are three children of twelve or thirteen years old, and one of them is standing silently outside the new capital of Lin'an, with a monstrous wave surging in his heart. His name is He Le, and his name is taken on behalf of the master, taking the benevolent Leshan, the wise Leshui, why not do it. And his previous name was He Erdan.
"He Le, what are you still thinking, don't leave quickly!" The acting master's real name is Zhang Zhichun, who is about forty years old, and is the twenty-third generation disciple of the Yuntan Sect, and is also one of the members of the team that Jianzhen came out of Anlan in the sixth year to find the heavenly and human incarnation. It was to the north that they were transported, and they suffered the most because of it. The original search team of twenty people, now there are only five people left, and the fourth uncle, who was the leader of the team, was also besieged to death by the Jin people to protect them. But in the end, he lived up to his mission and found three children who were most in line with the characteristics of heaven and man, two of whom were orphans, and one was sent by his father desperately. Born in troubled times, human life is cheaper than grass.
"Yes. He Le silently turned around and looked at the other two companions. They were born to a boy and a girl, both born in the same year and month, but their fate was even more tragic. The girl's name is Yan Qiyun, she was originally from a wealthy family, and it is said that there were colorful clouds on the roof when she was born. It's a pity that the whole family was slaughtered when the Jin people came, and she was the only one who was hidden in a hole in the ground to escape. And that boy is called Yan Tianju, and his father is a famous martial artist in Youyang Prefecture. It is said that when he was born, a short black iron spear fell from the sky, and the inscription on the gun was: Tianju.
"Hmph!" Yan Tianju snorted lightly, in his eyes, He Le was a little scoundrel who ate and drank, and he was not worthy of entering the Yuntan Sect, the largest martial arts sect of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with them.
Yan Qiyun on the side looked indifferently, she didn't have any feelings for these two boys of the same age as her. The tragic death of her parents and relatives made her a little more indifferent to the world, and at this time she only felt that there was nothing to make her happy. I just want to learn martial arts as the acting master said, and avenge the blood of my relatives who died tragically.
He Le did not say a word about Yan Tianjue's contempt, lowered his head and followed behind everyone in silence, and walked towards Yuntan Sect after separating from the refugees.
They were the last team to return, and after five teams had recovered a total of ten similar Fallen Humans, only four of them had passed the test after several years of screening.
Thirteen years of wind and rain, the mountains and rivers were broken, the emperor guarded the country and collapsed, and the people of Li were separated from death. Zhang Zhichun, who is acting as a master, looks at everything in front of him, and he is also mixed. The original young man is now miscellaneous, and his heart is full of vicissitudes. In the past ten years, he has seen life and death, and he has been in a desperate situation several times, although he has lived up to the emperor's grace, but he has lost his youth.
"Senior brother is sighing again!"
Zhang Zhichun looked back at his junior brother, he was still a young man back then, and now he is also standing in his old age.
"Let's go, go home!" he exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, feeling much lighter.
They had been walking for thirteen years on the way home, and it was only at this moment that everyone felt a little happy.
The Yuntan Sect did not make a special gesture to welcome these northbound wanderers, and only Zhang Zhichun's uncle came forward to settle their accommodation. As for confirming the celestial beings, there is a special person to arrange it. For Zhang Zhichun, the relationship with these three children is over. It's not that the Yuntan Sect is ruthless, it's that the sect is too large, and there are enough disciples in cultivation. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yuntanzong has been attached to the imperial court, but it does not participate in state affairs and must not involve the army. The main responsibility is to supervise the rangers, as well as religious activities, and another important function is to prolong the life of the emperors.
Although the Yuntan Sect is transcendent, it is still composed of mortals, so it has to involve mundane things, and it will also have its own barter exchanges. So far, the Yuntan Sect has become a half-immortal and half-vulgar existence, with both masters who seek immortals and ask questions, as well as miscellaneous specialists who deal with mundane affairs.
Just about the matter of searching for the six descents of heaven and man, the high-level in the sect also paid attention to it in the first few years, but after Emperor Jianzhen Yao Kezhen collapsed, Yuntan Sect also withdrew to Lin'an with the imperial court, and after a series of chaos, the high-level people were dispensable for the search. After all, the affairs of heaven and man are all said by Zhang Zhiruo, who is dead, and several of the children recovered in the past few years are clearly colluded by someone to falsify, and the sect master began to pay less attention to the whole search after he was angry. When Jianlong Emperor Yao Kexi ascended the throne, it was even more inappropriate to say that heaven and man descended six times.
All of this led to He Le and the others being placed in a miscellaneous courtyard in front of the Yuntan Sect, living with the new disciples who had just been recruited this year.
"I'm a celestial who came into the world!" Yan Tianjue grabbed the little brother who brought them here, looking incredulous. Along the way, he imagined countless possibilities, not to mention fine clothes and food, but there should also be a grand welcome, a sumptuous feast. And there is only one large room in front of me that lives with dozens of people, and you can smell the sour smell in this spring.
"Hehe, don't worry, stay up for a few years first. The little brother gave him a meaningful look and turned to leave.
Yan Tian tightened the iron spear tightly wrapped around his back, his mouth collapsed, and the blood vessels in his hands burst out and disappeared. Although he was only thirteen years old, there was already a faint smell of blood on him.
Yan Qiyun watched helplessly from the side, all the way south, the acting master Zhang Zhichun took care of her very much. She will be allowed to live alone in every accommodation, and even found a woman to take care of her in the past few years. Who knew that when he came to the long-awaited Yuntan Sect, he had to live in a large shop with a large group of strangers. Listening to the little brother say that she had survived for a few years, she unconsciously shed tears of grievance.
He Le watched silently, and after thinking about it, he turned around and walked into the shop, and found a corner where no one was sleeping and lay down. The acting master Zhang Zhichun changed his name to He Le because he wanted him to smile more and not keep a straight face every day. But he couldn't do it, especially after Duan Yifeng, the little generation master, died to save them, he became even more silent. Duan Yifeng was not a few years older than them, and it was said that he had a special sense of Qi Liu, so he set off with the search team at the age of twelve. He Le was the first to be discovered by him, and later Duan Yifeng took good care of him and taught him to read. It's a pity that a year ago, he met the thousand-man team of the Jin people, and Duan Yifeng was killed by random arrows in order to save the three of them.
He Le lay in the corner and took out the book "Taiyi Qi Guan Chapter" given to him by Duan Yifeng, which is said to be the introductory mind method of the Yuntan Sect. If no one teaches it, no one outside will be able to learn what it contains in a hundred years. Of course He Le will, in fact, Yan Tianjue and Yan Qiyun will also do, but Yan Tianju only took one month to understand the whole article, and Yan Qiyun took two months, He Le has not touched the door yet......
Speaking of this, Duan Yifeng was also very helpless, and even some people said at the time that it could be a mistake, He Le was not a celestial who came into the world at all. But Duan Yifeng was very persistent, even if Yan Tianqi showed extremely strong cultivation talent, even if Yan Qiyun also had a good talent, Duan Yifeng still thought that He Le must be a celestial who had been born into the world. Every time at that time, He Le would be even more silent, he also wanted to learn, but in the study of the mental method, he never found the way. At that time, Duan Yifeng taught him countless times and explained countless times, but he couldn't produce the slightest Qi in He Le's body. He was just a mortal, and no amount of traction could touch his dead body. Now take out "Taiyi Qi Guan" to see, it's not that he loves to learn much, it's just that he misses Duan Yifeng, the good man who is also a teacher and friend.
"You're newly entered?" A boy who had just returned from cultivation lay down beside He Le, his eyes staring at the book in his hand.
He Le put away the book casually, tried to soften his expression as much as possible, sat up and replied: "My name is He Le, I just came from the north, and I was arranged to live here temporarily, please take care of it in the future." ”
"Cut!" Yan Tianju, who was disdainful on the side, had long been displeasing to the eye, and took advantage of the situation to sneer on the side.
The boy was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was so well-trained that he would not take the three of them seriously. Hearing Yan Tianjue's mocking laughter, he immediately sat up and stared at him with his eyes.
"What, I'm not convinced, I'm not that kind of comparable, if you don't believe it, just try!" Yan Tianjue felt unacceptable at the thought of staying in this room for a few years, and it was precisely by taking the opportunity to make trouble at this time that it was possible to find a turnaround for himself.
"Oh! it's still a prick!" the boy stood up, a head taller than Yan Tianjue, and with his strong body, he was more than twice as big as him.
He Le saw that they would do something if they didn't agree with each other, and immediately flashed to the side with interest, looking at Yan Qiyun's eyes, he was also full of contempt. But he doesn't care, as his nest dad said, it's important to live, to live.
The boy made a move, without using any moves, just reaching out and grabbing it. But Yan Tianju bumped into him, and he heard a bang, and the boy was knocked out a few meters away, smashed through the wall, fell to the ground, vomited blood and fainted.
He Le knew that Yan Tianju had only used three successes, and he had to go all out, and the defenseless boy could be killed by him.
"What's going on!" there was a loud roar, and someone came running from outside.
None of the three spoke, looking at the old man who ran in.
The old man looked like he was about fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a plain robe, but with a black sash tied around his waist. According to what they knew before, the Yuntan Sect advocated cleanliness and simplicity, and both the sect master and the miscellaneous servants wore plain robes, which were distinguished only by the belt around their waists. The suzerain himself is wearing a multicolored belt, and the lower ones are red, blue, blue, purple, and black, and the rest of the people are unified into white belts. After Zhang Zhichun comes back from this mission, he can wear a purple belt. It can be seen that this old man's identity is not high, and he is just an ordinary person in charge of the sect.
"You three little cubs, do you want to rebel!" the old man said in a fierce voice, not paying any attention to them.
Yan Tianju pursed his lips tightly, with a look of disdain.
"You, come here!" The old man's eyesight was very poisonous, and he picked He Le at once.
He Le is also very helpless, sure enough, this world also likes to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them. Although he was not angry in his heart, he still stepped forward.
"Who did it!"
He Le looked at the old man curiously, as if he wanted to find out the content of the past in the wrinkles on his face, and then his helpless expression slowly became amused, and he opened his mouth and said, "I don't know, I just came." ”
Yan Qiyun next to her changed her expression for the first time, originally she thought that He Le would simply confess Yan Tianjue, but she didn't expect him to carry it hard.
With a "snap", a loud slap bloomed on He Le's face, and soon became red and swollen again.
He Le was still laughing, laughing playfully, as if he had known that he would be robbed, so he was not surprised at all.
"Who did it!" the old man slapped and looked at He Le with wide eyes again.
