Chapter 1: Destroying the Gate
Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, and its light ones rose to the sky, and its heavy turbidity sank to the earth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's just that all things in heaven and earth have their own fate, and so are the light and turbid, and there is a remnant floating in the world.
There is no distinction between the living beings in the world, when they are born, they are plain and unremarkable, how can they be light and turbid, and once they are born, they will inevitably be contaminated with a trace of light or turbidity.
One day, there will be a powerful person who will see through the mysteries, whether it is a light person or a heavy person, as long as you continue to accumulate the light or heavy turbidity in the body, you can stimulate the potential of the body, ten enemies, a hundred enemies, a thousand enemies, and even prolong life, reaching the legendary realm of immortality!
When the news spread, the people of the world were excited, starting from the simplest of promoting goodness and killing and gathering, various cultivation methods emerged in an endless stream, and martial arts sects were born because of this.
More than 10,000 years have passed, and the longest-lived person in history is only 300 years old, which is more than 108,000 miles away from the legendary "immortality", but the world's pursuit of immortality has not stopped, but it has become more and more intense, after all, 300 years old is very different from the 6 and 70 years old of ordinary people!
967 years ago, Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty established the eleventh dynasty in history, the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the year 967 of the Great Zhou calendar, there was a family in Qingyang Town, Qinghe County, Qingzhou of the Zhou Dynasty, surnamed Zhao, which was a large local first-class family, and one-third of the land in the entire Qingyang Town belonged to his family.
Mr. Zhao is over 60 years old this year, he is a light person, a humble person, usually kind and charitable, and has a good mouth in Qingyang Town. Three months ago, the Zhao family encountered a strange thing, a senior official surnamed Zhou in the DPRK didn't know what the wind was, and he actually took a fancy to the Zhao family's field in the countryside, and he had to buy it as a place for the elderly no matter what.
The foundation accumulated by the Zhao family over the past generations, how can it be said that if you don't want it, you don't want it? Master Zhao is not a person who is bullied by others, so he lost his temper and refused in one go. Unexpectedly, this Lord Zhou actually got more serious, instigated the state and county officials, and found Master Zhao, and fabricated charges to copy the Zhao family!
At the moment of crisis, fortunately, the Zhao family was also a little old in the state and county, and came forward to make peace, which saved a disaster, but the Zhao family's land could not be kept anyway, and it was sold to Lord Zhou together with the ancestral house.
The matter should have ended here, but the blame is inside, Lord Zhou's bid was not only not low, but it was one point higher than the market price, even if the two sides turned their faces, it was the same.
You must know that the Zhao family has a lot of fields, and with the ancestral house, it is not a small amount. With such a large sum of money, it can even buy a retirement land in the famous mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, isn't it far better than this remote place in the countryside?
Master Zhao is an old and refined person, and the strangeness in this naturally cannot escape his eyes. Therefore, he also kept an eye on it, and after taking the money, he immediately took his family of more than 30 people to live in Qingyang Town.
Master Zhao has a wife and a concubine, three sons and two daughters, two daughters married in the early years, and the in-laws' families are in the county and the county respectively. Master Zhao ordered people to send letters separately to mention a few words, and he didn't say much. Except for the youngest son, the other two sons are married and live at home on weekdays.
After the Zhao family encountered this incident, Master Zhao immediately gave him two pieces of silver, and sent his two sons to make a living elsewhere, and the remaining one son, Zhao Xinming, had just turned 16 years old and had not yet started a family, so Master Zhao kept him.
Zhao Xinming has been blocked in his meridians since he was a child, and his body is frail and sick, and Master Zhao can't cure it even if he asks famous doctors. Over time, Zhao Xinming learned a lot of medical skills. When Zhao Xinming was ten years old, Master Zhao didn't know where to get a set of boxing techniques, and urged Zhao Xinming to practice diligently every day, although he didn't practice anything, his body was much better.
Three months passed in a flash, everything was calm, and Master Zhao also felt a little relieved. Early this morning, as soon as Master Zhao got up, he heard the door squeak and was knocked open.
Master Zhao looked up and saw Steward Wang running in in a panic. Master Zhao was excited, and hurriedly asked, "Steward Wang, what's wrong?"
"Master, it's not good, there is a plague in the countryside, and everyone is dead. Steward Wang said as he ran.
"What time is it?" asked Master Zhao.
"Last night, the news hadn't spread yet, and not many people in the town knew about it. Steward Wang took a breath and whispered.
"Do you know which villages they are?" said Master Zhao in a deep voice.
"I heard that it is the villages where our family used to be. ”
"What? Master Zhao was shocked, and hurriedly ordered, "Steward Wang, go and prepare the carriage and horses, call everyone in the family, and leave now." ”
"Let's go, where does the master want to go?"
"Go to the county, be quick. Master Zhao urged repeatedly.
"Yes. Steward Wang hurriedly ordered to go down. In less than a meal, the subordinates took care of it, and Master Zhao did not delay, took the remaining ten or so people, got into three carriages, and walked straight towards the city gate.
Along the way, there were also many horse-drawn carriages on the streets rushing towards the city gate at the same time. They are all some rich families in Qingyang Town, and it seems that they all got the news and went out of the town to avoid the plague.
It was a five-day journey from Qingyang Town to the county, and the carriage walked on the official road for a day, and the carriage gradually dispersed. When it was about to get dark, those who were still walking on the official road, in addition to the three carriages of the Zhao family, there were only more than a dozen men in strong clothes who were riding horses more than ten zhang away behind the carriage.
"Steward Wang. In the carriage, Master Zhao shouted.
"Master, are you looking for me?" Steward Wang hurriedly got out of the car and walked over.
"Stop, take a break. Master Zhao commanded.
"Yes, sir. Steward Wang agreed, and ran to the front again.
Soon, the carriages stopped, and Zhao Xinming followed Master Zhao down.
At this moment, a man in a strong suit who followed behind suddenly exerted his strength, drove his horse to chase after him, and asked loudly: "This is Zhao Zhigang in Qingyang Town, Master Zhao?"
"The good man recognized the wrong person. Master Zhao glanced up and replied quietly.
Zhao Xinming was about to speak, but Master Zhao squeezed his hand, and Zhao Xinming hurriedly closed his mouth.
This man in a strong suit didn't believe it, looked at Master Zhao carefully, and asked again, "Are you really not Master Zhao?"
"It's not. Master Zhao said firmly.
The man in the suit shook his head, turned his horse's head and ran back, shouting, "Big brother, this person said that he is not Master Zhao." ”
Master Zhao glanced at the man in the pretend, brought Zhao Xinming to Steward Wang, and said in a low voice, "Steward Wang, I handed over Xiao'er to you." ”
Zhao Xinming saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's going on." ”
"Xinming, don't ask more, if the situation is not right for a while, just go with Steward Wang, go as far as you want, don't come back. Master Zhao solemnly explained.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Zhao Xinming continued to ask.
At this moment, more than a dozen men in strong suits chased after him, and the leading man looked at Master Zhao and said with a laugh: "Haha, Master Zhao, I think you still admit it." ”
Master Zhao raised his head and glanced at more than a dozen men in strong suits, one of whom was Lord Zhou's servant, and he chuckled in his heart, knowing that he couldn't hide, so he said loudly: "I don't know if all the heroes are looking for it, what do you have to say?"
"Master Zhao, we can't talk about seeing teaching, and our brothers are just acting according to orders. Master Zhao, if you have anything to explain, hurry up. The leader shook his head and said coldly.
"This good man, can you let Zhao have a certain way to live, Zhao is willing to give all the family property with both hands. Master Zhao thought about it and pleaded.
"No, I can't. The leader refused.
"Zhao thinks that he didn't offend your family, and the Zhao family's land was also sold to him, why did your family have to put me to death?" asked Master Zhao as he turned to the servant.
"Master Zhao, there are some things that our subordinates can't know. The servant lowered his head and didn't want to see Master Zhao.
After a moment of silence, Master Zhao asked again, "Is there any news for my two sons and two daughters who are outside?"
"I don't know about the two daughters, but it's hard to talk about the two sons. The leader hesitated for a moment and said truthfully.
"Poor son. Old Man Zhao sighed, suddenly became angry, and roared, "Thief, I'll fight with you." After speaking, Master Zhao was like crazy, and he didn't care about the difference in strength between the two sides, so he rushed straight forward.
This Master Zhao is a little stronger than ordinary people, where is the opponent of these men in strong suits, the leading man drove the horse forward, and knocked Master Zhao to the ground with a sprint, and died on the spot!
When Zhao Xinming saw his father's tragic death, he was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Steward Wang. When the people next to the carriage saw that the old man had been killed, they all rushed up. If you want to say that these subordinates left by Master Zhao's side, they are all carefully selected, and there are a few powerful people among them.
These people fought with those men in strong suits with weapons in hand, and the men in strong suits were caught off guard for a while and were killed on the spot. When they got serious, the descendants of the Zhao family suddenly fell behind, and it was a matter of time before they were killed.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Steward Wang hurriedly untied the two cart horses and escaped with Zhao Xinming from the path.
