The breeze on the big stone flat was pine, and the old Taoist priest was still chattering. Both martial arts and sermons seem endless.

Li Qingshan felt that today's old Taoist priest was very strange, contrary to the normal state of Qing cultivation in the past, in addition to the unprecedented words, there was also worry in his eyes.

In Li Qingshan's memory, a figure like an old Taoist priest who is almost enlightened and ascending to the immortal rarely has this kind of worldly sorrow. He had a vague feeling that something was going to happen today.

Sure enough, the old Taoist priest was preaching, when he suddenly changed his words and said to Li Qingshan: "Didn't you ask me before, why do the people of the Demon Domain have a common enmity with me?"

Li Qingshan has always been curious and suspicious about this matter. Now seeing that the old Taoist priest was about to take the initiative to speak, he hurriedly nodded.

"A glass of wine in the spring breeze of peach and plum, and ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes. Hehe, after so many years, it's time for Master to tell you some old things about the rivers and lakes!" the old Taoist priest stood up and paced with his hands in his hands, as if thinking about where to start.

After a while, he said, "Where do you start? Alas, the past is sad, and it comes one after another, and even at my age, I still can't forget all the grievances and feuds of the past. Let's start when I'm your age......"

The old Taoist priest began to babble again.

——————————————————————

At the age of fifteen, Zhang Yunshe was not a Taoist priest, but an ordinary country boy in a small village in Zhongzhou, planting a few acres of thin fields with his parents. There are nearly 100 families in the village, farming, cutting firewood, hunting, and shepherding sheep, each earning their own livelihood. There is a sect "Feiyun Sect" nearby, which belongs to the third-rate sect on the rivers and lakes and is the object of worship in the nearby villages. Every household in the village must pay money and grain at the time of the spring and autumn harvest, which is considered to be the power protection area of the sect.

If nothing else, Zhang Yunshe will be like the villagers here, living an ordinary life.

However, Zhang Yunshe has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, and he has the ability to never forget, which is deeply appreciated by the old gentleman of the private school. This old gentleman often praised: "It's a pity that in this world, martial arts are respected, martial arts suppress literature, and it is useless to be a scholar." If it is like the ancient prosperous era, Yanwu Xiuwen, you young man will definitely be outstanding in Wenzhi, and you will definitely be able to get ahead!"

It just so happened that this old gentleman had a distant relative who was in charge of affairs in the "Feiyun Sect" and was in charge of the sect's library pavilion, so he recommended Zhang Yunshe to enter the Feiyun Sect as an outer disciple and do a chorre in the library pavilion.

The world respects martial arts, and being able to enter the sect is something that everyone in the village can't ask for, and Zhang Yunshe has become the object of everyone's envy. Not only did his family no longer have to pay taxes, but they also had a very substantial income. Therefore, Zhang Yunshe worked extra hard in the sect, coupled with the ability to never forget, and managed the collection of books and classics in an orderly manner, which was gradually appreciated by the sect, and after three years of permission, he could become an inner disciple. Inner disciples, which means that they can learn literature and martial arts, and their status is also higher.

One day, he was returning from the sect to visit his parents. As soon as he walked to the head of the village, he suddenly saw a middle-aged Taoist priest covered in blood and unconscious in the grass. The Taoist priest had a high crown in a green robe, an angular face, and even if he was unconscious, he still protected the burden on his chest, obviously the things in the burden were extremely important.

Zhang Yunshe was not greedy for money, but when he saw that the Taoist priest was dying, he came to the rescue. However, he felt that the Taoist priest was unknown and covered in blood, so he did not dare to bring it home, but carried it to a very hidden stone cave in the nearby mountain and placed it in place.

Since he entered the sect, he has managed the collection of books, and naturally he has also read some medical books and knows a little about some medical skills, so he cleaned the wounds for the Taoist priest, checked the pulse, and bandaged the medicine. After that, he went home and quietly took enough cooked meat, dry food, and water for several days, and placed them beside him. When he left, he took the pulse of the Taoist priest and found that his pulse was steady, his breathing was peaceful, and his life should be fine.

A few days later, he quietly went up the mountain to visit the Taoist priest, and found that the man was gone, leaving only a token engraved with the word "Yunxu", and that there was not much dry food, cooked meat, and fresh water left on the ground. He thought to himself that the Taoist priest should have been able to move freely and left on his own.

He put away the token and turned to go down the mountain. Back in the village, he packed his belongings and wanted to return to the sect the next day. However, that night, dozens of men in black surrounded the village and gathered everyone in the village in front of the ancestral hall, including him and his parents.

One of the leading black-clothed men said in a loud voice, "There is a Taoist priest who has been seriously injured and has lost a trace in your area. We tracked it down and saw his blood at the head of the village, so he must have been rescued. If any of you has hidden this person in your house, hand it over quickly, or the whole village will be affected!"

The villagers looked at each other, frightened and panicked. Some were whispering: "We haven't seen any Taoist people enter the village, where can we hand them over." How can this be a good ......?"

"I don't know who was killed by God, doing this kind of thing has affected us! These men in black don't seem to be kind. ”

"The people who do this kind of thing should be driven out of the village, and act as heroes and heroes who save people, and they have caused us in vain. ”

Zhang Yunshe stood in the crowd, hearing their whispers, he felt guilty and frightened in his heart. But he thought to himself, even if he went out at this time and confessed to saving the Daoist, where would he find that Daoist now?

When the leading man in black saw that no villager came out to admit it, his eyes swept and with a wave of his hand, several men in black began to kill, one, two, three, the means were ferocious and neat, and there were soon several corpses on the ground.

Suddenly, the screams, wails, and cries were mixed together, some people were trembling, some were urinating, and some were fainting on the spot, and the scene was very miserable.

Zhang Yunshe was taken aback, but he didn't expect the cruelty and madness of this group of people to exceed his expectations, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Stop! You will kill and take whatever you want, but do not harm these innocent people!"

With a wave of the black's hand, the others stopped killing. The man in black laughed: "Confess early, why don't you involve so many people and let these ants die in vain." Tell me, where is the Taoist priest!"

Zhang Yunshe said nervously: "It's true that I saved him." But he was long gone, and he didn't know where he went, leaving only this token behind. With that, he pulled out the token.

When the villagers saw that it was Zhang Yunshe who had caused such a catastrophe, they all looked at him with resentment, and some even gritted their teeth and rubbed their hands.

When the man in black saw the token, his eyes lit up, and he took the token with his hand, rubbed it for a while, and confirmed it again and again. Then he put away the token, smiled, and said, "He is so seriously injured, he must not have healed yet, where can he run." Speak quickly, lest you harm yourself and others. After speaking, he looked at Zhang Yunshe playfully.

Zhang Yunshe knew the whereabouts of the Taoist priest, but when he saw the cruelty and madness of this group of people, he begged: "I saved him and put him in a cave on the mountain." But now that he's gone, I really don't know where he's gone. One person does one thing and one person does it, please let the villagers here go. ”

The man in black sneered and continued to ask, "I don't know where he went, and what about the things on his body, where did you take them and hide them?"

Zhang Yunshe shook his head and said, "I didn't take his things, only this one token." You can believe it, or you don't believe it. It is up to you to kill and kill, but please do not harm innocent people again. ”

The man in black sneered and said in a dark voice: "It's really backbone." Then I'll break your bones!" After speaking, the figure shook, and the ghost struck. Only two gara sounds were heard, Zhang Yunshe broke one of his hands and feet, and the person also fell to the ground in pain, coughing violently, and his mouth was full of blood.

The villagers gasped, quickly turned their faces and did not dare to look again, trembling, silent, and afraid of causing trouble.

A couple in the crowd rushed out crying, the woman stepped forward and lay on Zhang Yunshe's body, protecting him to the death, and the man went up to hug the feet of the man in black and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. These two people are Zhang Yunshe's mother and father, their family has been passed down for three generations, and only one son, Zhang Yunshe, can not panic in the face of this catastrophe.

The man in black sneered, and kicked Zhang Yunshe's father away, his feet were so strong that he kicked the person away a foot away, and he couldn't move after he landed. Zhang Yunshe's mother cried again, rushed over to look at her husband, and saw that he was out of breath, and hissed and cried.

When Zhang Yunshe heard the voice, his heart was broken, he was filled with grief and anger, and he got up and wanted to see his father. But only to hear a rattling sound, pain came to the heart, and the other foot was trampled off by the man in black.

The man in black laughed, his laughter was extremely maniac, and said, "Now you can tell the whereabouts of the Taoist, right?"

Zhang Yunshe's hands and feet were in severe pain, his mood was extremely sad and angry, and he tried his best to spit out the black-clothed man with a mouthful of blood, and then his mind was spinning, and he had already fainted.

After a while, he woke up slowly, and saw that the ground was full of corpses, blood flowing into the earth, and there were sounds of fighting and shouting in the distance. He looked from afar, and found that it was the Taoist priest, although he was alone, but he was extremely brave, with a long sword in his left hand and a short stick in his right hand, picking left and right, and the man in black on the ground also suffered many casualties. But after all, the Taoist priest was originally injured, but now in the face of dozens of opponents, it is difficult to stand alone, and there are many new injuries on his body, new injuries and old injuries burst out, and blood stains the robe.

Zhang Yunshe still had one hand that was not broken, and he endured severe pain, moving inch by inch with difficulty, and climbed towards his parents. When I went to my parents' side to take a look, my parents had already died. He raised his head to the sky and howled, a surge of blood welled up in his throat, and he fainted again.

I don't know how long it took, but he felt wobbly, as if he was in a carriage. I reluctantly opened my eyelids and took a look, only to see that the Taoist priest was also lying next to him, covered in gauze, his face was pale, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

His severed hands and legs had been joined together and secured with splints. He felt painful, sleepy, and tired, his mind was blank and confused, and he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

After a long time, he felt like he was lying on the mattress. I heard someone ask, "Yuanxu, how is he?"

Another replied: "He was so badly wounded, he had three broken hands and feet, and he was so angry that he lost both of his parents. I have changed the splint for him and applied the bone black jade cream, and his hands and feet will be no problem in the future. It is not known if the mind is impaired. Let him rest here for now, and then look at it when he wakes up. ”

The man said, "This man has been very kind to my Yunxu Sect and the Sect Master. The head of the sect is still recuperating and cannot walk, so he asked me to come and visit. ”

Another asked, "How's the master?"

The man sighed, and then said, "Alas, the master has woken up, and I wanted to come over to visit immediately, but I was too seriously injured to walk. The master said that this person saved him, and he was not greedy for treasures, and would rather die than give in, and he was very upright. Our Yunxu Sect has caused the death of his parents and the slaughter of the whole village, and this kindness, our Yunxu Sect will also repay the broken bones. ”

The man paused slightly, and then said, "Senior brother, don't you know, when we arrived that day, the ground was full of the corpses of the villagers and those demons in the Demon Realm Punishment Heaven. The head of the sect was injured, and he fought dozens of demons alone, and he was also desperate. If we hadn't arrived in time, the head of the sect would have suffered! You have to take good care of this young man and let him recover as soon as possible. Okay, I'll go back and report to the master. ”

Then footsteps were heard, and it was clear that the man had walked out. There was a strong smell of medicine in the room.

There was silence all around them. After a long time, Zhang Yunshe opened his eyes and saw himself lying in a large room, with an incense burner lit in the room and a medicine burner next to it. A Taoist priest in a cyan robe was boiling medicine by the medicine stove. Zhang Yunshe looked over from behind him and saw that he was full of gray hair, and he was obviously not young.

He had just suffered an accident, and his heart was sad and depressed. I don't care who the other party is or what they're doing. Just staring blankly at the ceiling, his eyes blank and blank.

The old Taoist priest of decoction turned his head and saw Zhang Yunshe who was starless, he was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to understand something, sighed, and walked out.

After a while, the footsteps came to mind, and a total of four people, including the decoction Taoist, walked in. Among the four people, except for the decoction Taoist priest, who is a green robe, the rest are all white Taoist clothes.

The first person said to Zhang Yunshe, "The young man has finally woken up." Below is the Yunxu Sect Guangxuzi, these two are my junior brother Ling Xuzi and Chengxuzi. The Taoist priest you saved the day before yesterday was my junior brother Xuanxuzi, and he was also the current head of the Yunxu Sect. There are four of us, and the rivers and lakes are known as the four sons of Yunxu. This one is the Yuanxu Daoist who is in charge of refining pills and healing injuries and diseases. During this time, he will take care of you. ”

Guangxuzi saw that Zhang Yunshe was motionless, and his eyes didn't even blink, so he had to continue: "Thanks to Shaoxia's rescue, our sect leader was spared, and the treasure of this sect was also able to return. This time it is a matter of life and death for me, and it all depends on the help of the young man. You are the great benefactor of my teaching, and if you want anything in the future, you should do anything. ”

Zhang Yunshe still didn't speak, his face was expressionless, and he stared at the ceiling in a daze.

The people present looked at each other and were at a loss. The Yuanxu Daoist glanced at each other, and everyone walked out.

After four or five days, Xuan Xuozi, who was wrapped in gauze, came to Zhang Yunshe's bedside and stared at Zhang Yunshe for a long time. Zhang Yunshe was still expressionless, his eyes were open, and his gaze was glazed.

After a long time, Xuan Xuozi sighed and said softly: "I hurt you." The Demon Domain has taken the most important thing from our Cloud Void Sect. My senior brothers and I sneaked in and snatched it back, and then in the way of secretly crossing Chen Cang on the plank road, a few senior brothers bluffed and led away most of the people in the Demon Domain, and I came back alone with the treasures. Who knows, the most ruthless torture heaven in the demon domain came to pursue me, and the first ten people have been killed by me. But I was also seriously injured, and I fainted on the side of the road due to physical exhaustion, but fortunately you rescued me. How do you know that the Demon Realm Punishment Heaven still continued to track it down. ”

"I was rescued by you, my injuries have healed a little, my strength has recovered, and I am in a hurry to return to the church, so I will not say goodbye. But I didn't feel at ease when I thought about it, so I sneaked back halfway to check the situation. It's a pity that it's too late, and the torture heaven has already dealt a cruel blow to you and your parents. ”

Xuan Xuzi continued: "I fought with them. But the people of Heaven have always been ruthless, perverse, and unrelenting in their killings, and even distracted me by killing innocent villagers. I was also greatly affected, and because I had fewer enemies, I suffered many heavy injuries on my body. Fortunately, the brothers had escaped from the other pursuers and turned back to help me, and we were spared. ”

Zhang Yunshe remained indifferent.

Xuan Xuozi sighed and said, "I know that you have suffered a great change, and I am extremely sad in my heart, and I also have a grudge against me. But after this, I think you also understand that the people of the Demon Realm are the people you really should hate, and they are all heinous people. When you are well, stay in this cloud void view, and I will let you learn the best martial arts in the world!"

Zhang Yunshe was still silent, and didn't seem to listen to any words of Xuan Xuozi.
