Chapter 8 The Past of Shen Qing
"Haha......" Everyone laughed when they heard Master Buhui say so humorously, diluting a trace of parting, "That's the case, then it's getting late tonight, the master will stay for another night tonight, and let's go tomorrow" Liuyun Zhenren said to Master Buhui.
"Amitabha, that monk, I might as well be respectful, it's better to obey the fate" Master Buhui said the Buddha's name, and went back to the room, and everyone saw that Master Buhui was gone, so they all retired to Liuyun Zhenren and walked out of the door.
Qi Yue returned to his hut again, sat on the bed and had nothing to do, and began to practice internal strength again, as the so-called way of cultivation does not advance or retreat, at the moment he is just getting started, the foundation is not stable, he does not dare to slack off, there is no time for cultivation, in the blink of an eye, another hour has passed, the internal force is included in the dantian, and he feels that the internal force in his body has grown again, even if it is still weak, but Qi Yue is still very satisfied.
The moonlight shines into the house through the window, making everything in the hut look so beautiful, "The moonlight seems to be good tonight, and I can't sleep left and right, so it's better to go out and go around" Push open the door and stand in the courtyard, the moon is in the sky, the stars are dotted, and the moonlight falls in the courtyard, making the whole courtyard seem like day even if it is dark.
Looking at the moon overhead, Qi Yue's mood seemed very melancholy, people said that the moon is full and missing, and people are divided and combined, although the moon in front of him seems to be no different from that on the earth, but Qi Yue knows that the place where he is now is not the hometown where he has lived for many years.
"I don't know what my parents are like on the other side of the earth, I suddenly disappeared, and my parents don't know how sad they should be when they learn the news" Although I thought so, but thinking about my current situation, even if I had a thousand words in my heart, I had to turn into a long sigh "......"
"Is my junior brother homesick?" In the dead of night, a voice suddenly came out behind him, Qi Yue only felt a chill down his spine, and slowly passed over, and saw a person standing behind him, dressed in a black suit, thin, with a face of about thirty years old, and a pair of eyes that looked particularly bright in the dark night.
"Second Senior Brother, why are you here?" It turned out that this person was Qi Yue's second senior brother Shen Qing, "I go to the back mountain every night to practice a martial art, and I just passed by the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly heard someone in the courtyard, so I came in to take a look."
"I see, senior brother is really diligent" Qi Yue said enviously, "By the way, junior brother just saw you standing alone in the courtyard and sighing, are you homesick?"
Qi Yue nodded and said gloomily: "Sort of" Shen Qing saw that Qi Yue's expression was a little depressed, and stepped forward to comfort: "Senior brother, don't be like this, I think when I first started, I was just like you, often alone at night homesick, but after a long time, I have long been used to it, I have long been on the mountain I have already regarded this place as my home, so junior brother does not have to be like this, although there are no parents on the mountain, but the master treats us like his own flesh and blood, like parents, and you still have us, we will treat you as my own brother."
Hearing Shen Qing say this, Qi Yue's heart warmed, "Yes, I still have my master and senior brothers, I'm not alone" Thinking of this, Qi Yue swept away his previous depression, "Thank you, senior brother" Qi Yue said gratefully.
Shen Qingyi waved his hand and said: "Senior brother don't want to be like this, there are only a few of our senior brothers on this mountain, and the junior brother is the youngest, these are all things that senior brother should do."
After speaking, Shen Qing suddenly turned his back and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the whole person looked very ethereal, and Qi Yue didn't know what to say for a while.
"Senior brother, why do you want to practice martial arts?" Shen Qing suddenly asked after a moment of silence.
Qi Yue didn't know why Shen Qing asked like this, this question was also asked by Liuyun Zhenren not long ago, Qi Yue's answer was that he wanted to see all the mountains and rivers, read all the interesting things in the world, and let Qi Yue's name resound all over the world.
But now seeing Shen Qing ask like this, although he didn't know why, he still replied as if he was in front of Liuyun Zhenren.
After listening to Qi Yue's answer, Shen Qing was silent for a moment and said: "Senior brother's ideal is really lofty, senior brother is here to wish you can one day become famous all over the world."
"Thank you, senior brother, I will definitely work hard," Qi Yue Shili thanked
Shen Qing saw Qi Yue's fighting spirit, smiled slightly, but then fell silent again, Qi Yue only felt that tonight was a little inexplicable, Senior Brother Shen Qing seemed to have something to say, but Shen Qing didn't speak, and Qi Yue didn't want to ask, so both of them froze.
Shen Qing probably felt a little embarrassed in the atmosphere, so he took the lead in speaking, "Senior brother, do you want to know why I want to practice martial arts?" Hearing Shen Qing say this, Qi Yue nodded and said, "Hmm"
"I was born in the southwest of the country of Feiyun, the family is a rich merchant in the coastal area of the south of the country of Feiyun, the family is rich, the rich one, the father Shen Haifu is a well-known local person, often funded the township, repaired bridges and roads, widely loved by the local people, but even so has been under the knee no children, for this father has taken out half of the family's wealth to repair the temple, hoping that the gods will bless, can give birth to a son and a half daughter, in order to continue the family incense,.
Maybe it's the blessing of the gods, when my father has reached the age of no doubt. My mother conceived and gave birth to me in October, because I had no children for a long time, since I was born, the whole house has taken care of me in every way, and I have grown up in this environment until I was nine years old.
I remember very well that day, the sky was cloudless, the sun was shining, the climate was very hot, I was taking a nap under the care of the servants at home, suddenly I heard a noise outside, the servants heard it and went out to find out what was happening, but after a long time I did not return, the noise outside became louder and louder, I was still young at that time, I seemed very frightened, I did not know what was happening, just then the servant who had gone out to check came back.
I saw him covered in blood, as soon as he came in, he picked me up and rushed out, I didn't know what happened, after rushing out of the door, I saw a scene that I will never forget in my life, the corpse ...... There are corpses all over the ground, there are Xiaohuan, Uncle Ge, and Erniang, all the people who used to make me laugh and make me happy around me were all lying on the cold ground, although the sky was scorching, but my heart suddenly became cold like an ice cellar at that moment, I don't know why, why it became like this.
Before I could react, I saw my father and my mother under the escort of a group of servants, surrounded by a group of people wearing black robes and holding sharp blades, my father and mother saw me, and my father hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Escape with Qing'er! Leave me alone! Hurry up and protect the little master!" After speaking, he led everyone to protect me and fled out the door.
I have never felt that the road is so long, every time I take a step forward, one person next to me will fall, watching the people next to me fall one after another, I want to cry, but I find that I can't cry at all.
The moment he escaped from the gate, the number of people around him had dropped from forty or fifty to less than twenty, and my father shouted, "Quick! Run separately! You will take the young master to run east! I will attract their attention!" After saying that, he rushed forward without looking back, but he did not expect that this would become a farewell.
For my father had attracted most of the enemy's attention, and had bought us time to escape, but this was not enough, and after we had fled for a while, the men caught up with us, so my mother stayed with the rest of the men to stop them, and the servant continued to run with me.
We don't know how long we had been running, but I felt that a long time had passed, and at last I saw the exit of the town, but before we could be happy, I found a group of people dressed in the same clothes as the people just now, and fortunately the servant noticed it early, and took me to a house.
The family didn't know what was going on, but because I had lived in this town since I was a child, everyone knew me, and when they asked the reason, they should be grateful for the kindness of my Shen family on weekdays, so they stuffed me in the extinguished stove, and told me not to make a sound.
I shrunk into a ball in the dark stove, shivering, I don't know how long it has been, maybe a day, maybe two days, after hearing the shouts and killing outside for a long time, I can't help but be hungry, afraid to come out, and find that the house is empty, and the furniture around seems to have been turned over, fortunately, the person who checked did not expect that there could be people hidden in such a small stove.
I found something to eat in the kitchen, I never thought that the whole grains that I usually don't even look at would be so delicious, I didn't care about other ventilation clouds, I was full, I sat on the ground, gasping for breath, I didn't know what to do next, I thought for a long time, stood up, walked out of the door, little by little carefully pushed open the door, everywhere I saw were corpses, and some of them even stinked under the scorching sun.
Walking on the streets of the past and looking at the corpses in front of me, although I can't name them, I know that these are ordinary people in the town, and some of them hugged me when I was a child, but now.........
Walking through the two streets, I saw and heard nothing but corpses and corpses, and the silence on the huge streets, even the sound of birds, all of which made me, who was only nine years old at the time, almost collapsed, but I still persevered.
Suddenly I seemed to hear some voices coming from the north, and I hurriedly walked cautiously towards the source of the sound, and after walking through a street, I found something very shocking, the street was still full of corpses, but the difference was that these corpses were all those of the black-robed men, and I didn't know what had happened to the young man.
But I had a vague sense that something must have happened to the north, and I kept walking, still the corpses of those people along the way, and more and more, and I gradually quickened my pace and ran forward, trying to see what was going on.
When I walked a few streets and came to the northernmost part of the town, it was an open field, where some foreign vendors and pawns usually set up their stalls, but today there was not a single vendor in this open space, and some were just a mountain of human heads.
