Chapter 6: Sadly Worship Mom and Daddy
There is a small bridge in front, the body of which is made of stones of the same size in the shape of an arch, through which the river flows.
Crossing the small bridge, the road turns south, and Alayanzong enters a valley.
The valley is surrounded by cliffs on both sides, and when you look up, you can only see a line of sky.
Further on, there is a path on the west side that leads deep into the mountains.
At the foot of the cliff on the east side, there is a half-human-high pile of rubble, and there are traces of artificial pile.
Alayanzong walked to the stone pile, stood still for a moment, and then knelt down and kowtowed three times.
He said to the pile of stones, "Father, mother, the child has come to see you." Master has passed away, and I have no more relatives. I will travel all over the world alone, and I hope you will bless me. “
Then he kowtowed again before standing up.
It turned out that the biological parents of the Alayan sect were buried here.
He picked up some small rocks around the area and refilled them.
There is also a stone pile on the south side, but the stone pile is smaller. After he kowtowed, he also picked up some small rocks and piled them up.
When he was ten years old, Master once brought him here.
He deeply remembered the way he came, and even more remembered the tomb of his parents in this barren mountain.
In the past, Master would accompany him, but in recent years, he himself has come once a year to kowtow to his parents.
Master told him stories about his parents more than once.
Eighteen years ago.
The world is in turmoil, many princes are fighting, fighting each other for territory, and the people are miserable all over the country.
Not only did the princes divide the territory, but bandits were even more rampant.
In the spring of that year.
In the middle of this valley, a white steed galloped in.
On top of the horse, a military general sits upright, with a white face and blue eyes that are extremely handsome, and a three-foot sword at his waist, although he does not wear armor, he does not lose his might.
It was followed by a carriage, covered with a curtain except for a coachman driving the horse, and the figures inside were not visible.
More than a dozen bandits rushed out of the path and stood in the middle of the road to intercept.
Although the bandits said that they robbed the road, they cut down when they came up, and the general met the enemy, and the two sides fought together.
The general's white horse rushed left and right, and the three-foot sword flew up and down to fight the bandits.
These bandits are also extremely heroic, and the general cannot win in a short time. That's because the general didn't want to take his life, didn't fight with all his might, and just wanted the bandits to retreat.
Who would have thought that this gang of bandits would not forgive, and the thief's heart would not die.
An obscene-looking bandit left the general and killed the coachman with a single sword.
When the general saw this, he suddenly became murderous, abandoned others, and when the bandit picked the curtain with the tip of his sword, the general jumped on his horse and cut off his head with a sword.
A woman exclaimed from inside the car.
The general was stunned and shouted: "Madame, don't panic, protect the child!"
But it also gives other bandits an opportunity.
A short bandit slashed the back leg of a white horse. The general turned over and fell off his horse, then rolled to the ground and stepped down to fight again.
The three-foot sword danced like the wind, colliding with the bandits' swords and guns, and the sound of gold and iron resonating endlessly.
Another thin little bandit took the opportunity to lead the driving horse, and he wanted to take advantage of the general's inability to take care of himself in the fierce battle, and hijack the carriage first.
Annoyed, the general swung his sword away from the weapons of the other bandits, leaped forward, and stabbed the skinny bandit in the abdomen with a sword.
Another fat bandit smashed the carport with a gun.
Seeing a blonde woman sitting in a car, holding a baby with both hands, the beautiful woman screamed again, watching in horror at the killing in front of her.
Seeing this, the general was murderous, swung his sword and killed the three bandits, and then turned back to rescue his wife.
At the same time as the three-foot sword stabbed the gun-wielding bandit in the back of the heart, the general was stabbed in the right leg.
The leg wound was bleeding profusely, and the general's movements slowed down.
The remaining bandits rushed up and tried to hack the general to death.
In the scuffle, the horse was stabbed in the neck and fell to the ground.
After killing five or six more bandits, the general was also stabbed several times and lay on the ground.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman in the car got out of the car in a panic with the baby in her arms, as if she wanted to see how her husband's injuries were.
At this moment, a tall bandit with a wound in the abdomen suddenly jumped up and stabbed the beautiful woman in the back of the heart.
The beautiful woman fell to the ground and died, but she still held the baby in her arms tightly.
The general threw the three-foot sword in his hand with all his might, and hit the tall bandit in the abdomen again, the tip of the sword pierced through the abdomen, and the bandit fell to the ground and died.
Perhaps the mother fell to the ground and alarmed the sleeping child, and then the baby cried loudly and loudly through the valley.
The general could not move, and could only lean on the wheel of the carriage half-recumbent.
The bone of his right arm was broken and he could no longer move, and he stretched out his left hand to point at the beautiful woman, as if he wanted to grab his wife, and as if he wanted to grab his son, but after all, no one could reach him.
At this time, a Taoist priest in Tsing Yi was descending the mountain from the path, and when he heard the cry of a baby, he looked at this side.
Seeing such a tragic scene, I was also frightened, so I hid behind a rock and watched secretly. The baby's cry disturbed him.
When he made sure there was no more fighting, he walked out.
When he came near, he leaned down and picked up the baby from the beautiful woman's arms, and the baby immediately stopped crying, as if he was tired of crying, closed his eyes, pouted, and fell asleep again.
The Taoist priest was just about to turn around and leave, when he saw the general's left arm moving, and seeing that he was still breathing, he squatted down to check the general's injuries.
The general shook his head slowly, put his left hand into his arms, took out the jade pendant hanging from his neck, tore it off with the last bit of strength, and stretched out his left hand to the baby.
The general only said one sentence: "My son wards off evil spirits!" and his head tilted, and he died of anger.
The Taoist priest took off the jade pendant from the general's hand.
The round jade pendant is the size of a silver dollar, crystal clear, carved on both sides, and a whale is exhaling and spraying water, leaving a small hole at the top of the water column.
The Taoist priest thought that this was a relic of the general, and it was also a token for the child, so he took it into his pocket.
The Taoist priest checked the other bandits one by one, and when none of them were alive, he went up the mountain with the baby in his arms.
Soon, seven or eight Taoist priests came down from the mountain, collected the corpses, and buried the general and the beautiful woman together under the cliff on the east side, and built a tomb with gravel.
The coachman was buried on the south side of the general.
The bandits were buried under the cliffs to the west.
Arayanzong looked up at a patch of rubble on the west side of the valley.
The gravel was almost level with the road, and in some places there were still white bones.
Alayanzong knew that the bandits who had killed their parents were buried there.
Every time he came to the grave, he would look at it from a distance for a while. At first, there was some hatred, but after so many years, the hatred has faded, after all, my father has reported the blood sorrow with his own hands.
Alayanzong reached into his arms, took out the jade pendant, and looked at the whale pattern on it.
The whale is vivid, fat and exquisite, and the water jet is thin and powerful, showing great vitality.
He didn't know what it meant, he just knew that it was the only thought his father had left him.
The master asked him to wear it on his body, saying that his parents would bless him and help him to correct and dispel evil.
In fact, he didn't know what his parents looked like, but he heard from Master that he looked like his father. As for his beautiful mother, he could only rely on his imagination. However, I have also heard Master say that the peach of Ula is somewhat similar to her mother.
Missing this loved one who has no memory does not bring too much sadness, and in his impression, Master is his father and mother.
It was getting late, and he was looking for a place to stay.
He knew that following the trail to the west and going up the mountain was the Taoist temple where the master once lived.
Master had taken him there before, and even though the house had collapsed now, he could always find a place to resist the night wind.
So, after kowtowing to his parents again, Alayanzong turned around and went up the mountain.
