"The surname is Yang? Aren't we talking about the same person?"
Yang Zhen stretched out her fingers and tapped a few times, and a cloud of white mist formed in front of her eyes. In the thick fog, the head of a young Taoist with a jade-like face appeared, it was Taoist Liu.
At first glance, this man looked smiling, with smooth facial contours and a full head. However, her chin is a bit tapered, her eyebrows are low, her eyes are narrow and sharp, and her lips are very thin. She looks more like a woman, and gives people a cold and unfeeling feeling.
This is a portrait that Yang Zhen condensed with her spiritual consciousness based on the descriptions of Tie Zhu, Yang Mabu and others.
"Yes, it's him, he looks exactly like a real person!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but marvel.
"I have remembered this man's appearance for decades!" He gritted his teeth and said, "After time travel, my memory has become particularly good. The past events are vivid in my mind. I will never admit my mistake!"
"He said his surname was Yang! He said it in front of my mother and I, saying that he and I have the same ancestor!"
"I was still too young at that time. Some of the things my mother once took me to do and some of the words she said to me, I only understood later..."
The man was immersed in memories again...
"The day before I left the Zhu family, my mother quietly told me that the Zhu family could not stay any longer. They were doing something that would destroy the family in the future. If we stay in the village, sooner or later we will suffer disaster."
"My mother also said that a Taoist priest revealed this to her, and the Taoist priest also showed her something that the Zhu family dug up. Now that I think about it, that thing should be the Kongming Stone."
Yang Zhen nodded in agreement. Taoist Liu, no, Taoist Yang had been staying in Shuyang County for more than half a year, and had been secretly investigating the activities of the Zhu family. It was not surprising to find them secretly mining the Kongming Stone.
"Before we left, my mother also informed a sister she was in love with and wanted to persuade her to go together..."
"That woman's name is Gu Chunlan," Yang Zhen interjected: "The whereabouts of you two were exposed because she leaked the secret. Of course, this person did not end well later, and was silenced by the Zhu family."
A look of surprise appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he immediately said angrily: "Well done, you deserve it!"
"No wonder my mother felt someone following us not long after we left."
"But the strange thing is that every time someone is about to catch up with us, they inexplicably go in the wrong direction. At that time, my mother thought it was God who was helping us. Until we walked for a day and a night and came to the village outside Shuyang County. When we were on the mountain, we realized that Taoist Yang was behind everything."
Yang Zhen nodded slightly, this was exactly what he had guessed.
"When my mother went to the capital to rescue my father, she met a monk and expressed her intention to take her in. So when we approached Zhuyang City, my mother and I were very happy, thinking that we could finally escape from the cage, but we didn't expect that at this moment , Taoist Yang stood in front of us..."
The middle-aged man lowered his eyes slightly, as if he had returned to that day...
…
Zhuyang County, Jushan
A young woman in simple clothes stood in the grass, holding a willow leaf-shaped dagger in her hand, looking at the Taoist priest not far away with an alert expression.
Beside him, stood a child less than ten years old.
"Thank you, Taoist Master, for your help." Jin Qingchen bowed.
"You don't have to thank me," the Taoist priest looked back and forth at the woman: "I came here to ask my wife for something."
"what?"
"The technique passed down by your Yang family?"
"The Yang family's skills?" Jin Qingchen's face showed confusion: "Our Yang family has fallen into such a decline, how can we have any skills?"
"Really?" The Taoist priest reached out and grabbed the boy, and the boy immediately rose from the ground, screaming and fell into the man's hands.
Jin Qingchen's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to take action, but was given a cold glance by the Taoist. His heart froze and he did not dare to move again.
"A ten-year-old boy, these muscles are very strong, tsk tsk," the Taoist priest pinched the boy's arms, chest and abdomen hard, and said with a smile, "Young master, this Five Elements Body Training Technique can be considered a general introduction, right?"
"The Five Elements Body Training Technique is just an ordinary body training technique. If senior needs it, I am willing to recite it word for word. Senior, please let go and put the dog down." Jin Qingchen said quickly.
"Hahaha——" The Taoist priest casually threw the boy to the woman's feet. There was thick grass underneath, but he was not injured.
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for him," he said disdainfully: "I once made a vow that I would never hurt any mortal in this world."
"I've spoken out like a mountain, and I hope Madam won't hide it from me..."
He took two steps forward and continued: "The Five Elements Body Training Technique is of no use to me, but there is another cultivation method of the Yang family that I urgently need. Madam, please hand it over!"
"The only thing left by the Yang family is the Five Elements Body Forging Technique." Jin Qingchen explained.
Taoist Yang's originally kind face gradually darkened.
"Don't fool me." He said solemnly.
However, after repeated inquiries, Jin kept answering like this.
Taoist Yang's face became even more ugly. Earlier, in order to express his goodwill, he casually said that he would not harm mortals, which may have just made Jin lose his scruples.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become angry:
"If you don't eat the toast, but you insist on eating the fine wine, then don't blame me for being rude!"
…
"He subdued my mother with one move, and then searched her up and down, inside and out!" The middle-aged man's face turned red and he said bitterly: "He found nothing!"
"What happened next?" Yang Zhen asked. Of course he knew that the Yang family's skills were actually hidden in the wooden carving of Yunxiao Ancestor hanging around the child's neck.
"Later," the middle-aged man clenched his fists, as if two balls of angry flames were burning in his eyes: "Later, he took out a talisman and went to search for my mother's soul!"
"Besides, the search took most of the day!"
"What?" Yang Zhen's expression changed. Soul-searching talismans will cause some damage to the souls of monks, especially low-level monks. And the longer it is used, the greater the damage will be, and may even...
The soul is gone!
Sure enough, I heard the middle-aged man choke and say:
"I don't know how long it took, but the Taoist priest suddenly laughed and said, 'It turns out that your Yang family has a cave hidden on Qingluo Mountain. No wonder you refuse to sell that spiritual vein even if you live or die. Hahaha, to tell you the truth, I My surname is Yang, and your Yang family was the same family three thousand years ago. I can also go to your cave that requires a drop of blood to enter, haha!'"
After hearing this, Yang Zhen finally understood why she didn't see the Five Elements Mending Heaven Sutra in the cave. It turned out that it was taken away by this person. However, the Heaven-Building Sutra requires a special physique to practice. Could it be that this person also does it?
"After the man finished speaking, he walked away, leaving my mother motionless on the spot."
The middle-aged man continued: "After a while, my mother started humming and singing, but her voice was not as melodious as usual. I didn't know at the time that she was already crazy..."
"Uuuuuu——"
"My mother sang from morning to afternoon, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing. The more I listened, the more scared I became. I slapped my mother desperately and called her loudly, but she didn't seem to hear her. She just kept humming there..."
"Yang Xiucai, your wontons... Yang Xiucai, are your wontons delicious?" Yang Zhen suddenly whispered softly.
When I traveled through time that day, although my predecessor's soul came to this world, many soul fragments were left behind and were sucked in by the little bluestone. Some of them were read by the little fairy grass, including this paragraph.
Hearing Yang Zhen's humming, the middle-aged man felt sad and burst into tears.
After a while, he continued intermittently:
"I, I was so scared, and I also started crying and howling."
"I don't know if it was my crying that attracted the demon wolf here. I..." He said with a look of regret on his face:
"More than a dozen demon wolves surrounded me, and the biggest one among them threw me to the ground. Just when I thought I was going to die, my mother suddenly woke up and stabbed the demon wolf with a sword, saving me. Come down..."
"Then she told me to run..."
"I was unwilling at first, but my mother got angry and became crazy again. I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I kept running forward. Later, I seemed to hear my mother's screams, but I didn't dare to look back. , keep running, run as hard as possible..."
"I don't know how far I ran, but a Taoist temple appeared in front of me. I was so excited that my feet were in the air and I rolled down the hillside. I hit a rock and passed out..."
"When I wake up, I'm already in this world."
After talking about the past, the middle-aged man burst into tears. He knelt down to Yang Zhen again and kowtowed heavily:
"Brother, I beg you, I must take revenge on my mother!"
"I promise you," Yang Zhen helped him up with both hands and said solemnly: "Jin is also my biological mother, the biological mother of this body of mine. Since I occupy this body, I will take over this cause and effect, and I will never Will ignore it!"
"I, Yang Zhen, hereby swear that as long as I find Taoist Yang, I will kill this thief——
"Avenge our mother!"
