Chapter 5: Strange Men
The next day, early in the morning, in the woods west of Yueyu Town.
Xiao Yi fell asleep with his back against a large tree, and not far in front of him stood a person, who was the young man who had rescued him the previous night. The young man was wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and a beast and horse were parked next to him eating the grass on the ground. The surrounding vegetation is verdant, the tall trees are towering, and many colorful light spots float in the woods, which is beautiful.
After a while, Xiao Yi's eyes widened and he felt that his head was confused.
When he saw the young man, he rubbed his eyes and asked, ''Where is this?''
The young man asked, "Are you awake?"
Xiao Yi nodded.
The young man said, ''This is the countryside.''
"Suburb?" Xiao Yi asked, "Why am I here?"
The young man said, "Have you forgotten?
Xiao Yi thought back to what happened last night, and suddenly realized, "Oh, then how did we get here?"
The young man said, "You fainted last night, and I was afraid that those people would chase you, so I brought you here, do you feel better?"
Xiao Yi nodded: "Well, how long did I sleep then?"
The young man said, "About six hours."
Xiao Yi nodded: "Oh''"
At this time, he felt the pain on his right arm again, he groaned, and his left hand tightly covered the wound in his right arm, enduring the pain.
Seeing his pained expression, the young man asked, ''What's the matter?''
Xiao Yi said: "My arm hurts, I was bitten by a strange beast yesterday."
The young man asked, ''Where is the bite, can I see it?''
Xiao Yi pointed to the injured place in his right arm and said, "Here"
The young man walked up to Xiao Yi, squatted down, supported Xiao Yi's right arm with his left hand, and slowly rolled up the sleeve on Xiao Yi's right arm with his right hand.
The sleeves gradually faded, and the wound on Xiao Yi's right arm was revealed, which were two blackened tooth marks, and when the young man saw the tooth marks, his expression changed greatly, because he not only saw the tooth marks but also saw the light red scar above the tooth marks, the young man looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief, and said, "You, how did you get this scar?"
Xiao Yi was confused by the question, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, I had it when I was young, what's wrong?"
"And who is your father?" asked the young man.
Xiao Yi felt that he was a little weird, shook his head, and said, "I don't have a father."
"Then your home can be in the Lushan Xiye area?" the young man asked.
Xiao Yi said, "Yes, my adoptive father's house is there, how do you know?"
The young man's gaze swept over Xiao Yi's face, and Xiao Yi felt a little embarrassed when he saw his gaze.
The young man's expression became more and more excited, and he muttered, "It's too similar, it's too similar, Yun Xian, uncle has finally found you, uncle has finally found you."
When the words fell, he hugged Xiao Yi in his arms, tears burst out of his eyes, "Yun Xian, where have you been in the past two years?, Uncle is looking for you so hard, Uncle is looking for you is so hard, Uncle is looking for you is so hard"
Xiao Yi's mind was at a loss, feeling inexplicable, he didn't know who Yun Xian was talking about, he asked: "Uncle, did you recognize the wrong person?, I'm not called Yun Xian"
The young man raised his head, his eyes were full of tears, looked into his eyes, and said, "You are the Yun Xian that your uncle is looking for, you are Yun Xian, how could your uncle admit his mistake, I didn't think you had grown so big?"
Xiao Yi resolutely said: "I really don't call Yunxian"
The young man wiped his tears, stabilized his excitement, and said, "Yun Xian, do you know where this scar of yours came from?"
Xiao Yi shook his head, because he really didn't know where the scar came from, and he had asked his adoptive father many times, and his adoptive father didn't know anything.
The young man said, "This is what your father left for you."
Xiao Yi asked in surprise, "My father?"
"That's right", Yun Xian, uncle can't explain so much to you now, you go to Lushan Ming Zhenxuan with me, you will naturally know everything," the young man said.
"Ming Zhenxuan?'' Xiao Yi asked, "What are you going to do there?"
"This matter is a long story, not words can be said clearly, your father and mother are all under the Ming Zhenxuan of Lushan, only because of an accident thirteen years ago, uncle had to put you in a farmer's foster care in the west of Lushan, to blame only the uncle was careless back then, go there, you will know everything," the young man said.
Xiao Yi vaguely felt that what he said was somewhat consistent with his life experience, and couldn't help but believe it a little, and asked, "Then what is the name of my father?"
"Your father's name is Zhang Luo, your mother's name is Shang Xiaorou, your real surname is Zhang, your name is Zhang Yunxian, if you guess correctly, your adoptive father, can you have a surname?" the young man asked.
Xiao Yi recalled the picture of his adoptive father being called brother by his neighbors on weekdays, and the defense line in his heart collapsed instantly.
Countless days and nights, hunger, cold, ridicule, insults, scenes flashed quickly in his mind, he always thought that he was an orphan abandoned by his parents, every time he saw other children frolicking with their parents, he would feel extremely lost, how he longed to see his own father and mother, even if it was one side, just one side, thinking about it, his eyes moistened.
"Where are my parents, where are they, I'm going to find them," Xiao Yi said in a choked voice.
The young man gently wiped away the tears that had slipped from the corners of his eyes with his hand and said, "Okay, Uncle will take you."
At this moment, Xiao Yi felt as if he had met his relatives again, and he had found support again.
The young man took his right hand and said, "Come, Yun Xian, let Uncle heal your wounds first."
Xiao Yi nodded.
The young man's left and right hands pinched the two tooth marks on Xiao Yi's right arm three inches and three inches below, respectively. Say, "Bear with the pain"
As the words fell, a golden light appeared in the young man's hands.
Xiao Yi only felt that the young man's hands tightened, and he screamed in pain, and a thick stream of black blood flowed out of the tooth marks, and the black blood flowed down his wrist to the blades of grass on the ground.
"Don't touch the wound, wait for me here" The young man got up and walked towards a large tree next to him. When he came to the bottom of the tree, the young man looked carefully at the branches on the tree, reached out and picked out a few harder branches, and the golden light flashed on his palm, and with a click, he cut off all these branches.
Xiao Yi in the distance felt quite magical in his eyes.
The young man walked towards Xiao Yi with the severed branches, and then used the branches to fix Xiao Yi's right arm to prevent him from pulling the wound when he moved.
After fixing, the young man said, "All right, let's go."
Xiao Yi followed him to the side of the beast horse.
The young man picked Xiao Yi on the horse's back and jumped on the horse himself.
The young man said, "Yun Xian, sit tight, let's go"
Xiao Yi hugged his waist tightly, and as soon as the young man pulled the reins, the beast and horse raised their front hooves high, neighed, and carried the two of them towards Lushan.
It is about fifty miles from Yueyu Town to Lushan, and the road between can be said to be nine twists and eighteen twists.
The young man rode the beast and horse and carried Xiao Yi to gallop the mountain road.
Two hours later, the sun shone brightly.
Sweat was dripping from their foreheads.
Xiao also learned from the young man that Lushan Ming Zhenxuan is located in a hidden col in the Splendid Valley of Lushan, and there are five disciples under him, Jin Xingtu, Mu Xingtu, Water Xingtu, Fire Xingtu, and Earth Xingtu. The young man was Ming Zhenxuan's Jin Xing disciple, named Qin Zhongming. Ranked by generation, the wood walkers ranked first in the door, the fire walkers ranked second, the water walkers ranked third, the gold walkers ranked fourth, and the earth walkers ranked fifth, while Zhang Luo was the fire walkers, Shang Xiaorou was the water walkers, the masters of the five of them, who knew the principle of the five elements of mutual restraint, was named Bai Mingzhen, and the people of the Fangshu sect called him the ancestor of the five elements. Xiao also has a general understanding of Ming Zhenxuan.
When the two arrived at Lushan Splendid Valley, it was in the afternoon.
At this time, Xiao Yi asked, "Uncle Qin, how long will it take to arrive?"
Qin Zhongming said: "It's almost there"
After a while, I only heard Qin Zhongming say: "Yunxian, we have arrived"
Xiao Yi looked around, only to see that the surrounding trees and grass were green, wild flowers were blooming all over the mountains, and some unknown birds and beasts were flying around in the mountains, and the scenery was peaceful.
Qin Zhongming said meaningfully: "Senior brother, senior sister-in-law, it's been thirteen years, are you okay?"
After a long time, the two walked on a stone bridge, the stone bridge was between the two mountains, under the bridge was a dense valley with dense trees, bottomless, Xiao Yi glanced under the bridge, goosebumps all over his body, he didn't dare to look again, and quickly looked up to look ahead.
I saw that at the end of the stone bridge in front of me was connected to a flat land, and there was a wooden building on the flat ground, surrounded by overgrown trees, slightly desolate, as if no one had taken care of it for a long time.
Xiao Yi really couldn't imagine that there would be people living in the depths of such a deep and secluded mountain, let alone who would live here.
Are they not afraid of the strange beasts of the mountains?
Could it be that the wooden building is Ming Zhenxuan?
Soon they had crossed the stone bridge, and the beasts and horses stopped beside the wooden building.
Qin Zhongming turned over and dismounted, hugged Xiao Yi off the horse, and then tied the reins to a thick tree trunk.
Xiao Yi stood there and stared blankly at the dilapidated wooden building on the left.
Qin Zhongming said: "Let's go, Yunxian, let's go"
Xiao Yi followed behind him and walked towards the wooden building.
Through the luxuriant tall grass, only to feel a faint fragrance of grass blowing in the face, only to see that on the main entrance of the wooden building, there is a wooden plaque, which is uprightly engraved with the three words of Ming Zhenxuan, the wooden plaque seems to be crooked, with a few cracks on it, and I don't know how much wind and rain it has experienced.
Entering the wooden building, I saw that the building was in a mess, the furnishings inside were in a mess, five Dan furnaces full of patina fell to the ground, the ground was scattered everywhere with stone pots, fragments of stone bowls, and the five wooden pillars supporting the wooden building, there were traces of being scorched by fire on the surface, it seemed that there had been a tragic fierce battle here.
But what exactly happened, Xiao Yi still didn't know.
Qin Zhongming looked at the things in the building stupidly, tears were already shining in his eyes, and he choked up and said, "Senior brother, senior sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Xiao Yi had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, and he asked, "Uncle Qin, where is my father?"
Qin Zhongming just cried silently and couldn't speak.
Xiao Yida was anxious and asked, "Uncle Qin, where are my parents and where are they?"
Qin Zhongming slowly squatted down in front of him, looked into his eyes, and choked up and said, "I'm sorry, Yun Xian, it's all my uncle's fault for not protecting them, it's all my uncle's fault, it's all my uncle's fault."
The more Xiao Yi listened, the more anxious he became, and asked, "Uncle Qin, what happened, tell me quickly?"
"Okay, uncle told you, this will tell you" Qin Zhongming wiped the tears on his face, slowly stood up, and began to tell the story of the past fifteen years ago.
Xiao also listened carefully.
