The Dandy's Story: Zhang Yi Chapter
Zhang Yi is a great dandy among the Qi Refining disciples of Wuling Sect. Although he is a dandy, he is different from the ordinary arrogant and domineering dudes. He is gentle and low-key. He can even be said to be courteous and polite, so he has a good reputation. It's always good.
Zhang Yi was born in the Zhang family of Wuling. His father's name is Zhang Jiuming, who is now the elder of Jiuxuan of Wuling Sect, and his mother's name is Ren Wei. Ren Wei was originally a senior of Jiuxuan of Wuling Sect, but Has fallen for many years. Zhang Yi's father also has several brothers, who are the elders of Jiedan in Shuiyun Valley and Qixia Mountain within the sect. Zhang Yi's grandfather was named Zhang Gai, and he was a Nascent Soul monk on Yuhu Mountain of the Wuling Sect. In addition, Zhang Yi also had an uncle, Zhang Gai's brother, who was also a Yuanying monk on Yuhu Mountain. In addition to these, Zhang Yi also has several uncles and uncles who are also alchemy monks in the sect. He even has a youngest uncle. Although that person is not a Nascent Soul monk, his current cultivation level has been When the high level of Dan Formation is faced with the bottleneck of breaking through the Nascent Soul, in addition to these figures who are either the Patriarch level or the Elder level, there are many juniors in the younger generation of the Zhang family who are also practicing for the sect. They are busy with the affairs of the family, and there are more descendants of the Zhang family who have Qi refining skills, and Zhang Yi is one of them.
The above is the strength of the Wuling Zhang family in the Wuling Sect. From this, it can be concluded that the Zhang family is definitely powerful in the sect, so Zhang Yi can definitely be regarded as a playboy with a profound background in the Wuling Sect.
However, these are just Zhang Yi's superficial life experiences. In fact, it is more complicated.
First of all, Ren Wei, who has died outside, is not Zhang Yi's biological mother, and even the name Zhang Yi did not originally belong to him. Of course, there is no lie in the fact that Zhang Jiu Ming is his biological father.
Zhang Yi's original name was Sun Cheng. He was not born in the Wuling Sect, but in a small aristocratic family with the surname Sun.
This also starts with Zhang Yi’s father, Zhang Jiu Ming. Zhang Jiu Ming did not find a Taoist partner for himself after establishing the foundation. Let’s just say that he was obsessed with practice. He never thought about it until many years after he formed the elixir. Many years ago, Zhang Jiuming was sent out by the sect to work. During that outing, he met a girl named Sun from a small aristocratic family. The girl was a foundation-building practitioner at the time, and she was as beautiful as a fairy. , graceful and graceful, looking forward to life, suddenly stunned Zhang Jiuming, who had been waiting for many years. They stayed together for many days, and the beautiful figure of this girl Sun was like the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, causing the spring to gush out from the dry well. The general quickly filled Zhang Jiu Ming's heart. Coincidentally, Miss Sun was also quite attracted to Zhang Jiu Ming, who was very talented and had a high level of cultivation.
If two people are interested in each other, then things will be much simpler. They will know each other's affection when their eyes meet. So on an unknown night, these two people finally have a romantic relationship, and then they are inseparable. tidy.
For more than a month, the two of them were inseparable and swore to each other that they would not marry one who was not a king, and one who was not a minister. Later, when Zhang Jiu Ming had to return after finishing his work for the sect, the two sides left each other a token and agreed on good things.
Then Zhang Jiuming returned to Wuling Sect to resume his life.
No one expected that in just this short period of getting along with each other, Miss Sun would actually have a dark knot in her belly, and she would have the blood and bones of Zhang Jiuming in her belly, who would later become Zhang Yi. Of course, after the child was born, his mother would obtain it for him. His name is Sun Cheng.
Let’s talk about Zhang Jiu Ming. After he returned to Wuling Sect, he climbed up Yuhu Mountain and told his father that he wanted to marry a daughter of a family named Sun. However, he didn’t expect Zhang Gai to flatly refuse after hearing his son’s words.
Well, generally speaking, monks, let alone the cultivation of pill formation, even if they are just foundation-building monks, they can make their own decisions about their own marriage, but these refer to ordinary monks. Well, for example, this is the case for monks like Lu Ping, Li Jian and Yanxuan who have no other followers in the sect other than their master. At best, their respective masters will check the Taoist companions chosen by their disciples. But as long as the disciple is willing, he will definitely succeed. And if a monk like Qian Chao, who didn't even have a disciple in the sect, established a foundation, he would have to make the decision on his own marriage.
For an existence in a large sect that can be called a "family", the junior's choice of Taoist companion must be approved by the elders. More often than not, the junior's Taoist companion is selected by the elders.
The meaning of the word "Shi" in Zhongzhou is very different from that in Yingzhou. In Yingzhou, "Shi" definitely represents a powerful force that can influence the direction of Yingzhou. For example, the seven surnames in Yingzhou say They are seven major families composed of seven monks with different surnames. Taken alone, they are powerful families such as the Yingzhou Gongyang family or the Yingzhou Zhuang family. In Zhongzhou, the word "family" is only used for a certain large family. On top of the monks with the same surname who are related by blood within the sect, such as the Jiugen Bai family who appeared earlier, the Bai family's daughter Bai Fan also became a disciple of Tang Bonian and became his closed disciple. In the world of cultivation in Central Continent, even the largest aristocratic families are not called "family". For example, the largest aristocratic family in Central Continent is the Qizhou Tian family, and that's it. People would not call it the Qizhou Tian family, but Within the Wuling Sect, there are not many people who can be called "clan". There are the Wulingzong clan, the Wulingzhang clan, the Wulingfeng clan, the Wulinghuan clan, etc. These all represent the same force within the sect. A large, powerful group. One more thing I can say here is that the reason why Lin Jian has always been looked down upon by many big men is because there is no such thing as Lin in the Wuling Sect. Lin Jian's father and ancestors are not strong enough in the sect.
Zhang Jiuming is a member of the Wulingzhang clan. His marriage must be decided upon by the people of his father Zhang Gai's generation. This is to allow the Zhang clan to continue to grow in strength within the Wuling clan. Zhang Gai has no regard for his son and that person. I will never agree to the matter of a daughter from a family named Sun. The reason is very simple, just because the Sun family is too weak, and a marriage with it will not be of any benefit to the Zhang family. Finding a good partner is not only a bargaining chip, but also a transaction, and it is also an important transaction. It cannot be played with, and this bargaining chip cannot be used hastily. Therefore, even as a Nascent Soul monk, Zhang Gai has to do it himself first. After beating the two couples, he chose a suitable family for him.
Within the Wuling Sect, clans basically do not marry each other. Apart from the inevitable conflicts between them, the Wuling Sect does not want these " clans" to gradually grow in size through marriage and become a clan. An uncontrollable force within the sect. Therefore, when choosing a Taoist partner, the children of the "family" generally set their sights on the spiritual world and look for targets among those powerful aristocratic families. Zhang Gai took great pains to choose a woman for his son, and the woman's background was definitely considered It is a powerful family, certainly not as good as a super family like the Tian family, but it can still be ranked below the Tian family... Ren Wei, the daughter of the Ren family in Jizhou.
Zhang Jiuming was very reluctant at first, but he couldn't disobey his elders. He was considered a dandy in the clan when he was young. This is the price that a dandy must pay, so in the end he could only bear the consequences cruelly. Miss Sun, under the arrangement of her elders and brothers, became a Taoist couple with Ren Wei, the daughter of the Ren family. Fortunately, Ren Wei is also a bright-eyed, white-toothed, graceful woman, and she is also a pill-forming practitioner. Monk, Zhang Jiu Ming was actually overjoyed after seeing her, and gradually forgot about Miss Sun.
As for Miss Sun, after waiting for a long time, she didn't expect the news that Zhang Jiuming had formed a Taoist couple with the daughter of a wealthy family. She felt regretful and resentful and then fell seriously ill. At this time, Zhang Jiuming became a Taoist couple. Yi was already born and raised in the Sun family. Now that she was like this, she simply let the child take her surname and name her Sun Cheng.
After Zhang Jiu Ming and Ren Wei got married, they also gave birth to a son, who Zhang Jiu Ming named Zhang Yi.
When Zhang Yi was very young, of course, what is mentioned here is not the Zhang Yi that Qian Chao and others are now dealing with. His mother Ren Wei once took him back to Jizhou to live with the Ren family for a short time. The child would be close to their family in the future, so they kept him for a while. Unexpectedly, shortly after Ren Wei left Zhang Yi and left, the Ren family sent someone to deliver the bad news. Zhang Yi met Zhang Yi when he was out playing. The monster unfortunately lost his life!
It is said that Zhang Yi has had a naughty character since he was a child, and he is like a playboy. Zhang Jiuming is still in charge of his parents in the clan. He does not dare to do anything extraordinary, but after arriving at the Ren family, everyone welcomes him. , please him, and dare not disobey him, so he became more and more lawless, secretly avoiding the eyes and ears of his elders and going out with a few children who were older than him. As a result, he ran into a dangerous place outside. The demon beast died. In fact, the grade of the demon beast was not high-end at all, but those children who couldn't stand it were all like strawbags. They no longer cared about Zhang Yi when they saw danger, which led to tragedy.
Ren Wei was heartbroken when he lost his son, and Zhang Jiuming was even more heartbroken and began to harbor hatred towards the Ren family.
Later, Zhang Jiuming told his father Zhang Gai about the loss of his son. While feeling regretful, Zhang Gai suddenly said to him:
"I heard that you have a son who is being raised by the Sun family. Since it is your flesh and blood, he shouldn't be thrown out. You should take him back and raise him by your side at some time. As for the Sun family, just give them some compensation."
And this is also the reason why Zhang Yi is in Wuling Sect now.
Not only did he come to Wuling Sect and meet a strange man who claimed to be his father, but his name was also changed inexplicably, from Sun Cheng to Zhang Yi.
In fact, the current Zhang Yi is about the same age as the Zhang Yi who died earlier, almost a few years apart. Moreover, the appearance of the two children is exactly like Zhang Jiu Ming. There is not much difference, and the stature is also about the same. If they are not close people, they will be around. Almost no one in the sect knew that Zhang Yi was now a different person.
At first, Zhang Yi was terrified almost every day. He didn't know why he was brought to this strange place and why he called a stranger his father, but it seemed that he had to come. He clearly remembered when he left the Sun family. , his mother cried very hard, and knelt on the ground and kept begging for her to stay in the Sun family. The faces of the Sun family were also ugly, the man who claimed to be his father and the man he later called his uncle or uncle. Everyone had stern expressions on their faces, and of course there were some who tried to persuade Zhang Yi with gentle words, but he didn’t want to leave his mother at all, but not to mention that at that age he couldn’t make the decision at all. He dared not speak out in front of the monk, and in the end he was forcibly taken away. Zhang Yi still remembers that he was carried away by someone and couldn't break free. He could only hear his mother's last desperate cry from a distance.
By Zhang Jiu Ming's side, Zhang Yi's life was not easy either.
Zhang Jiu Ming was full of hope for this son at first. After taking him to Wuling Sect, he tested his spiritual roots. As a result, Zhang Jiu Ming was a little disappointed. This son's spiritual root qualifications were worse than those of his previous son. Many of them made him very dissatisfied. He didn't even bother to name another one, and directly gave the name of his deceased son to this son. Later, the sect knew that not many people in the sect had lost a son in Zhang Jiu Ming's life.
After being snatched away, Zhang Yi didn't get any care at all. The man he called his father seldom interfered with his affairs except asking him to practice. That's it. Every time he saw his father, he He felt that the man's eyebrows were depressed and his face was ashen, as if he had never been happy. This made him avoid Zhang Jiu Ming and did not want to meet him. In addition, the way the woman next to his father looked at him made him even more frightened. There was a deep disgust and disdain in the woman's eyes, and Zhang Yi hated this woman deeply in his heart. Shi also knew something, and understood that it was this woman who had robbed his mother of her status and reputation.
Zhang Yi even secretly heard the quarrel between the two people, which had something to do with him. At that time, he heard the woman shouting in a high voice:
"He is not my son at all, why should he use my son's name!"
"But he is my son!"
Then there was silence!
Zhang Yi stayed in the Wuling Sect out of helplessness. While he missed his mother, he practiced seriously and diligently, thinking that one day he would be able to achieve something, and then leave the Wuling Sect to find his mother.
After spending several years in the Wuling Sect like this, Zhang Yi always wanted to write a letter to his mother, but even if he wrote it, he couldn't send it to the Sun family, so he had to give up. He also tried every means to inquire about the Sun family's affairs. There was no news at all until later the sad news came that the entire Sun family had been wiped out.
It is said that it was done by a group of wandering cultivators who committed crimes. Several small aristocratic families near the Sun family were also destroyed and their property was robbed. However, Zhang Yi did not care about other aristocratic families. He only knew that his mother was involved in that disaster. Not only that, everyone in the Sun family, everyone he knew and was close to was gone!
When he heard the news, Zhang Yi only felt cramps in his chest, his eyesight turned black, his throat felt sweet, and he fainted after a mouthful of blood spurted out.
