Chapter 6: The Past
It turned out that fifteen years ago, Bai Mingzhen, who was proficient in the mysteries of the five elements and was called the ancestor of the five elements by the people of Fangshumen, lived in seclusion here to found the Fangshu sect Mingzhenxuan, Bai Mingzhen accepted five apprentices in his life, and passed on the mysteries of the five elements that he knew all his life to them, and then handed over the five mysterious treasures he owned - the five elements to their care.
The eldest apprentice, Shen Wei, is in charge of the wood pole - Rongyuan Tai Sui, and the second apprentice Zhang Luo is in charge of the fire pole - Huangshan Bloodstone. The third apprentice, Shang Xiaorou, is in charge of the water pole - Han Qi Bingqi, the fourth apprentice Qin Zhongming, who is in charge of the gold pole - rhino stop the golden scale, and the fifth apprentice He Xiuyang, who is in charge of the earth pole - turquoise marble.
One day, Bai Mingzhen gathered them together and said to them: "From tomorrow onwards I will go into retreat, you must not go and disturb them, these five elements are treasures in the world, and they must be strictly guarded in the future and must not be neglected." After speaking, he entrusted the trivial matters in the door to five people, and entered the back mountain alone to retreat and cultivate, which was half a year.
Half a year later, Shen Wei entered the back mountain, inadvertently passed by the cave where the master was retreating, and quietly walked into the cave, only to see that the cave was empty, and there was only one piece of clothing on the ground that the master was wearing, and the master himself did not know where to go.
Shen Wei thought about it, the master had practiced Fangshu, maybe it was a complete success and passed away, so he hurriedly walked out of the cave to inform the other four fellow disciples.
When the four fellow disciples heard the news and came to the cave, the five disciples all knelt on the ground in the face of the relics of the master, and for a while, they were heartbroken and wept one after another.
From then on, the five of them took up the Ming Zhenxuan beam alone, strictly followed the master's pre-retreat instructions, and took great care of the five elements. The five disciples united and helped each other, and the friendship between the brothers and sisters was deeper than ever.
During the period, Zhang Luo has been devoted to Shang Xiaorou for a long time, the two are happy, and gave birth to a son half a year later, that day, the three brothers are very happy before and after the siege, and because Zhang Luo's son was born, a huge white cloud accumulated in the sky above Ming Zhenxuan, the three brothers feel that this is the auspicious nature, happy and named it Zhang Yunxian, Ming Zhenxuan has one more person so far, the five disciples fantasize about the future life, the more they think about it, the happier they are.
However, on the evening of Zhang Yunxian's full moon, everything changed.
At sunset, Zhang Luo accompanied his wife for a walk in front of the Xuanlou, looking at Zhang Yunxian in his wife's arms, with a happy smile on his face.
At this moment, a strange sound caught Zhang Luo's attention. I saw that the periphery of the Xuanlou was constantly gathering some people of unknown origin in black robes. These black-robed people were all wearing robes and hats, their faces were tightly wrapped in black cloth, and only their two eyes were exposed, and in less than a moment, they surrounded the Xuanlou tightly.
At this time, a black-robed man flashed in front of Zhang Luo at a ghostly speed, slowly took off his robe and hat, and saw that this black-robed man was a man, his face was pale, bloodless, and he had an emerald green hosta on his head, and he said in a cold voice: "Hand over the Five Elements Extremes and spare you from death."
Zhang Luo panicked, stood in front of his wife, and said to his wife behind him: "Xiaorou, go quickly"
Before the words fell, the black-robed man beckoned back, and the black-robed man behind him rushed up like a wolf.
Zhang Luo no longer hesitated, stepped forward, and used the fire movement technique to hit the black-robed man who rushed over.
Shen Wei, Qin Zhongming, and He Xiuyang also came out of the Xuanlou when they heard the sound, and looked at the black-robed people who rushed over in groups, and quickly rushed into it and resisted together.
The five of them resisted desperately for a while, and Shang Xiaorou said, "Senior brother, you take Yun Xian to go first."
''Brother, go on!''
She threw Zhang Yunxian in her arms to Shen Wei.
Shen Wei turned around and picked up Zhang Yunxian and said, "Second brother, I'll cover you, you go first"
While speaking, Qin Zhongming and He Xiuyang were caught off guard, each eating the palm of the black-robed man, his body fell to the ground hard, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spit out from his mouth, I am afraid that it hurt his viscera.
Zhang Luo was taken aback and said to Shen Wei: "Senior brother, you take the fourth brother, and the fifth brother will go first!"
Shang Xiaorou said while resisting the black-robed man: "Senior brother, leave it to us here, you take Yun Xian to go first"
Shen Wei saw that the situation in front of him was becoming more and more complicated, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to get out if he dragged it out any longer, so he had to take the overall situation into account, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, second brother, I'll take the fourth brother, fifth brother, Yun Xian will go first, you take care." As he spoke, he rushed to Qin Zhongming and He Xiuyang to help the two of them.
At this time, I only heard Zhang Luo shouting: "Senior brother"
Zhang Luo flew to Shen Wei's side, and after a moment, he stretched out his two fingers and carried the fire pole pill qi in his body, and his fingertips glowed with a slightly hot red light, and touched it lightly on Zhang Yunxian's immature right arm. Zhang Yunxian's right arm was instantly branded with a light red scar, and for a while, Zhang Yunxian was in unbearable pain and cried loudly.
This move frightened Shen Wei, and Shen Wei scolded: "Second brother, what are you doing?"
Zhang Luo said: "Senior brother, if Yun Xian drags you down after you leave, you can put him in foster care in other households, and when the turmoil passes, it is not impossible to find him according to this scar."
"Second brother" Shen Wei shouted, tears flashing in his eyes.
"Let's go, senior brother" Zhang Luo rushed into the black-robed crowd again and continued to resist.
Shen Wei no longer hesitated, helped Qin Zhongming and He Xiuyang to evacuate to the back mountain.
......
The three of them came down the mountain, all the way to the north, did not dare to stop for a moment on the way, walked for a long time, panicked, and ran to a village in the west of Lushan by mistake, at this time it was dark, most of the villagers in the village had fallen asleep, the three of them saw the black-robed man behind them from time to time, did not get rid of it, and decided to flee separately.
Qin Zhongming was so tired that his mouth was dry, and he said: "Senior brother, it's better to do what the second senior brother said, and put Yunxian in a family for foster care, so as not to be implicated with us."
Shen Wei looked at Zhang Yunxian, who was sleeping in his arms, and thought to himself that this method was not a way, first, he could get out, and secondly, Yunxian didn't have to suffer with them.
He looked around and saw that the light was still on in a simple house next to him, so he walked briskly over it.
Before coming to this house, he gently put Zhang Yunxian in front of the door, knocked on the door of this house, and left here with Qin Zhongming and He Xiuyang.
Before parting, the three agreed that they would meet in Mingzhenxuan thirteen years later and come to this village to find Zhang Yunxian together. After the three nodded in agreement, they reluctantly separated.
Today, thirteen years later, Qin Zhongming came to this village in the west of Lushan one day ahead of schedule according to the agreed day, and when he found the family that put Zhang Yunxian back then, the owner of the household said that Xiao Yi had run away from home three years ago, and Qin Zhongming, who learned about it, was like ashes, thinking that he not only did not protect the second brother and second sister-in-law back then, but now even their children have not been protected, and his heart said that he was really useless.
At this point, he began to run around, asking around about Xiao Yi's whereabouts.
However, just last night, when he inquired about Xiao Yi's whereabouts in Yueyu Town, he happened to meet Xiao Yi.
When Xiao Yi heard this, his little fists were clenched, his eyes burned with anger, and he asked, "What about later, what about my father and mother, where are they now?"
"I'm sorry, Yun Xian, it's all because my uncle didn't protect them back then, it's all my uncle, it's all my uncle's fault" Qin Zhongming looked at Xiao Yi's immature little face and burst into tears.
Because since leaving Ming Zhenxuan fifteen years ago, Qin Zhongming didn't know what happened later, let alone whether the second senior brother and the second sister-in-law had escaped the siege of those black-robed people.
'''So, my father and mother,,, my father and mother are likely to be killed by them?''' Saying that, Xiao Yi couldn't say any more, and two lines of tears flowed down.
Because in these three years of wandering, Xiao Ye has experienced many hardships that children have never experienced, and his heart has gradually become stoic, and it can be said that nothing can make him cry easily. But when faced with this result, he still cried, because he had become an orphan again.
After a while, Xiao Yi surged up in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, where are those black-robed people?, I want to avenge my father and mother, I want to kill them."
Suddenly, he remembered the black-robed people he had seen in the full moon station last night, and he asked, "Uncle, are they the black-robed people who caught me last night?"
Qin Zhongming said: "That's right, it's them"
Xiao Yi thought for a while and said, "Uncle, I saw them in the post station last night."
Qin Zhongming's face immediately showed a look of surprise.
So, Xiao Yi told the scene he saw in the moon full station in Yueyu Town last night.
Qin Zhongming was shocked after hearing this, and immediately stood up.
Xiao Yi asked, "Uncle, is it them?"
Qin Zhongming nodded and said, "That's right."
Qin Zhongming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he learned that those black-robed people had not left Lushan, but had been spying on them secretly. He cautiously glanced outside the building and said, "Yun Xian, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's talk in another place" As he spoke, he took Xiao Yi's small hand and walked outside the wooden building.
