Chapter 9: The Past of Shen Qing (2)
In the open space full of blood in the sun, looking at these heads, I sat on the ground with weak legs, gasping for breath, as if I was strangled by something, and before I could recover from it, I heard the voice just now, I heard it clearly, and it was not far from me, I got up with my strength and continued to walk along the source of the sound.
The sound became clearer and clearer, there were shouts, horses' hooves, and there seemed to be the sound of fighting, little by little getting closer and closer, and when I came to the corner of the street, I slowly stretched my head out along the wall, and I saw ......" Shen Qing said here, and suddenly paused.
Qi Yue hurriedly asked, "What do you see?"
Shen Qing recalled for a moment and continued: "I saw a scene that changed my life, there are many people on the street, there are those people in black robes, and there are many horse thieves, I have seen those people, every year they have to come to the town to loot, and our family because of the large number of family members in the nursing home, every time my father gave them some gold, silver and jewelry to send them away, and I am also the first time I have seen so many horse thieves, I think it should be out of the nest,
So many horse thieves plus those black-robed people, it stands to reason that they should be rampant, but what I see is that each of them is afraid, no, it should be fear, they are constantly retreating, I wonder what they are afraid of, follow their gaze, only to find that there is another person on the street
The man looked to be in his thirties, armed with a long sword, his clothes were stained scarlet with blood, and with every step he took, the men would step back a little, "they were afraid of the man" I don't know why I suddenly had such an idea.
But in fact, the atmosphere was very strange, a group of vicious, murderous people were actually afraid of a person, although this person looked very powerful, but at the time I couldn't figure out why.
Until one of the leaders of the group couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Kill him!" and rushed forward with a knife, and the people around him saw him like this, and they also flocked up, and when they saw the scene in front of me, I suddenly shouted: "Be careful!"
Before my words fell, the person who had just rushed out for the head was already separated, and the people around him had not yet reacted, the person with the sword had already rushed into the crowd, and every time the sword was swung, there would be one more corpse under his feet, like a tiger entering a flock, no one could stop the man's sword at all, and it would not take a moment,
There were less than half of the people in the crowd who could stand, and I don't know who shouted: "Run!" When those people heard this, they reacted, and quickly turned around and fled in all directions, everyone wanted to grow two more legs, and one slow step would become the soul of that person's sword.
When the man saw that someone began to run away, he suddenly increased his speed, his sword qi flew, leaving an afterimage in the crowd, and the person who escaped just ran two steps and looked back, and he was so frightened that he couldn't run out faster. But as the man's sword grew faster and faster, none of the slower, or those who looked back, escaped and died under the man's sword.
Seeing that the people in front of him had been killed, the man threw the sword in his hand, looked around, and saw that the people who had fled earlier did not chase him, but walked towards me, and when I saw the man coming, I was afraid and nervous, and my legs went limp, and I sat on the ground again.
The man walked up to me, squatted down, reached out and touched my head, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's all over" Looking at the man's gentle gaze, my heart gradually relaxed, and then a wave of sleepiness came over me, and I fell asleep.
It was the next morning when I woke up again, and when I woke up, I found that the man was in my room and watched over me, and when he saw me awake, he asked me if I was hungry, and I shook my head, and then he asked me what was going on in this town, and I told him everything I knew, and he told me to rest well.
I hurriedly asked him if he knew where my parents were, what they were like, I begged him to take me to my parents, but he couldn't help but take me out of the room, and aimlessly searched the street one by one, we searched for a whole day, and finally found my parents, but they had become a cold corpse.
I knelt down in front of my parents' bodies and wept loudly, and gradually I got tired of crying, and I saw that my parents' bodies had begun to decompose in the sun, and I knew that I couldn't go on like this.
I knelt down and begged the man to bury my parents, and he agreed, and took my parents' bodies with them, on the hillside outside the town, and buried them there, when the man suddenly asked me if I had any relatives and where I lived.
I thought about it and remembered that my mother once told me that I had an uncle's family who lived in Linxian Kingdom, and when I was a child, he came to my house to see me, and told the man what I knew truthfully, and he nodded and said that he was also going to Linxian Kingdom, and asked me if I would like to go with him.
I looked back at the peaceful town that had become a hell on earth, and then at my parents' graves, and I had nowhere else to go, so I had to nod and follow him.
We walked all the way to the northeast, passed through many places, and slowly learned on the way that the person's name was Liuyun Zhenren......"
Qi Yue was surprised when he heard this: "What?master?" Shen Qing nodded when he saw Qi Yue so surprised and said, " That's right, it's the master, but at that time the master has not established the Liuyun Gate, just a trip to the party, when I followed the master all the way from the Feiyun country to the Linxian country, the master wanted to send me to my uncle's house, but at that time I only knew that my uncle's house was in the Linxian country, but I didn't know where it was, so the master took me, all the way while inquiring, and then when we came to Beizhou County, because the master in Beizhou County Fanyin Temple of the unwise master for the best friends, so he took me to the Fanyin Temple, we lived in the temple for a while, the masters in the temple heard about me, very sympathetic to me, so let me live in the Fanyin TempleThey helped me find out about my uncle's house.
I have been living in the temple for more than two months, one day the master and the master of Buhui came to tell me, there is news, it turns out that my uncle's house is in Qiyun County, Beizhou County, is the local martial arts family, I was ecstatic after learning the news, a few more set off to find, but Master Buhui told me that they have let people inform my uncle, let me stay in the temple, in a few days my uncle will come to pick me up, although I am anxious but there is no way, so I stayed in the temple for six days, at noon that day, I finally saw my uncle, burly figure, sparse beard looks very rough, although I can not remember whether he is my uncle, but my uncle recognized me at a glance, rushed over and picked me up, a long-lost feeling hit, suddenly my tears couldn't help but flow out, my uncle hugged me and comforted me and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, uncle will take you home"
I cried and cried and fell asleep in my uncle's arms, and when I woke up again, I found myself in the carriage, and my uncle saw that I woke up, and told me that we had left Fanyin Temple and were on the way to Qiyun County, with the unknown of the road ahead, I said very little along the way, and my uncle saw that I had not come out of the shadows, so he didn't ask me what was going on, and all the way told me how fun the place we were about to go was, trying to make me happy.
The carriage stopped and stopped about the fourth day after leaving Fanyin Temple, we finally arrived in Qiyun County, my uncle's family was waiting for us outside the county gate, looking at the people who came to pick us up, I didn't know what it was like, but the haze in my heart for many days seemed to have dissipated, so I have been living in my uncle's house for two years, and I kept asking my uncle for two years, asking him why our family was destroyed, but my uncle refused to tell me because I was still young, and in desperation, I asked my uncle to teach me martial arts, I thought that when my martial arts reached the master's strength, I would be able to find the answer myself。
But my uncle was afraid that I would do stupid things after learning martial arts, so he refused to teach me, so two years passed, and one day two years later, I suddenly heard the news of the master, saying that the master had opened a sect in the suburbs of Beiyuan County, and planned to accept disciples, and I wanted to go to the apprenticeship after hearing about it, because I used to worship the master as a teacher, but at that time the master said that he didn't want to accept apprentices, so he refused.
But now that the master has established a sect to accept disciples, I can enter the mountain gate openly and learn martial arts, because I am afraid that my uncle will not agree, so I will let my uncle take me on the grounds that the master once saved me, and now that he has opened a sect, he should go to celebrate it.
Uncle thought about it and agreed, but when he took me to Liuyun Mountain, he said that he would not leave, and his uncle had no choice but to hand me over to the master's care and go home alone, because of this uncle was angry with me for several years, and time passed so fast, twenty years passed slowly, and the events of the year were as vivid as if they had just happened, alas......"
With Shen Qing's long sigh, this story, no, it should be said that it is this past, this is the end here, all that is left is Shen Qing's silence, Yu Qiyue's shock and melancholy.
Qi Yue never thought that Shen Qing, who laughed and played with his brothers and sisters on weekdays, would have such a tragic past, if it weren't for today's coincidence, he would never have thought that Shen Qing's past was so unusual.
Looking at Shen Qing's faintly tearful eyes, Qi Yue shouted in a low voice, "Senior brother...... You, it's okay" Seeing Qi Yue calling himself, Shen Qing, who was caught in a memory, seemed to react, took a deep breath, exhaled again, seemed to feel better, and replied: "I'm fine, but junior brother, do you know why I want to tell you this?"
Qi Yue replied: "Senior brother is trying to tell me the reason why you practice martial arts?" Shen Qing shook his head and said: "No, I said a lot, just to tell my junior brother to cherish the relatives around him, and not to regret it when he loses it." ”
Qi Yue seemed to be deeply touched when he heard Shen Qing say this, and nodded again and again: "Thank you, senior brother, senior brother will remember."
Shen Qing looked at the moon above his head and said: "Okay, it's late at night, junior brother go back and rest early, tomorrow the master will teach you martial arts, you need to give a lot of physical strength, it's okay not to rest, I'm going to leave too."
After listening to Shen Qing's words, Qi Yue nodded and said goodbye to Shen Qing before returning to the room and sleeping, while Shen Qing headed towards the back mountain......
