There is a small bridge in front. The bridge body is made of stones of the same size to form an arch, and the river water flows through the holes.

After crossing the small bridge, the road turns south, and Alayanzong enters a valley.

There are cliffs on both sides of the valley, and when you look up, you can only see a sliver of sky.

Going further, there is a path on the west side leading to the deep mountains.

At the foot of the cliff on the east side, there is a pile of rubble that is half a person's height. The pile of rocks shows traces of artificial accumulation.

Ala Yanzong walked to the stone pile, stood quietly for a moment, then knelt down and kowtowed three times.

He said to the pile of stones: "Father, mother, I have come to see you. The master has passed away, and I have no relatives anymore. I will travel alone, and I hope you will protect me."

Then he kowtowed again before standing up.

It turns out that those buried here are Alayanzong’s biological parents.

He picked up some small stones from the surrounding area and added to the pile of stones.

There was another pile of stones on the south side, but it was smaller. After he knelt down, he also picked up some small stones and piled them on top.

When he was ten years old, his master once brought him here.

He deeply remembered the way he came, and even more so, the tombs of his parents in this barren mountain.

In the past, Master would accompany him, but in recent years, he himself has come once a year to kowtow to his parents and add to their graves.

Master told him stories about his parents more than once.

Eighteen years ago.

The world is in chaos, with many princes fighting each other and fighting each other for territory. The people are devastated and miserable.

Not only were the feudal lords divided, but bandits were also rampant.

That spring.

In this valley, a white horse galloped quickly.

Sitting on top of the horse was a military commander with an unusually handsome white face and blue eyes. He wore a three-foot black sword on his waist. Although he was not wearing armor, he was still powerful.

A carriage followed behind it. Except for a driver driving the horse, the carriage was covered with curtains and the people inside could not be seen.

More than a dozen gangsters rushed out of the alley and stood in the middle of the road to intercept them.

Although the bandits claimed to be robbing, they cut them down when they came up. The general met the enemy and the two sides fought.

The general's white horse rushed left and right, and his three-foot black sword flew up and down to fight the bandits.

These bandits were also extremely brave, and the general could not win in a short period of time. That was because the general did not want to take his life, and did not fight with all his strength. He just wanted to let the bandits retreat in the face of difficulties.

Who would have thought that these gangsters would never give up and never give up on their evil intentions.

A wretched-looking gangster left the general and killed the coachman with a knife.

When the general saw this, he became murderous and abandoned the others. When the gangster used the tip of his knife to lift the curtain of the car, the general jumped on his horse and cut off his head with a sword.

A woman screamed from inside the car.

The general was stunned and shouted: "Madam, don't panic, protect the child!"

But this also gives other gangsters an opportunity to take advantage of.

A short gangster chopped off the white horse's hind legs with a knife. The general turned over and fell off his horse, then rolled to his feet, stepped down and fought again.

The three-foot black sword danced like the wind, colliding with the gangsters' swords and guns, and the sound of gold and iron clashing could be heard endlessly.

Another thin gangster took the opportunity to hold the carriage that was driving it. He wanted to take advantage of the general's fierce fighting and was unable to take care of himself, so he could rob the carriage first.

The general was angry, swung his sword to drive away the weapons of other gangsters, jumped up, and stabbed the thin gangster in the abdomen with his sword.

Another fat gangster brandished a gun and tore apart the carport.

I saw a beautiful blonde woman sitting in the car, holding a baby tightly in her hands. The beautiful woman screamed again, looking at the killing in front of her in horror.

Upon seeing this, the general became murderous and killed the three gangsters with his sword, then turned back to rescue his wife.

Just as the Sanchi Xuanjian stabbed the gunman in the back of the heart, the general was stabbed in the right leg.

The leg wound was bleeding, and the general's movements slowed down.

The remaining gangsters swarmed forward and tried to hack the general to death with random swords.

During the melee, the horse was stabbed in the neck and fell to the ground.

After the general killed five or six more gangsters, he was stabbed several times and fell to the ground.

When the beautiful woman in the car saw this, she got out of the car in panic with her baby in her arms, as if she wanted to see how her husband was injured.

At this moment, a tall gangster with an abdominal injury suddenly jumped up and stabbed the beautiful woman in the back of the heart.

The beautiful woman fell to the ground and died, but she still held the baby in her arms tightly.

The general tried his best to throw the three-foot black sword in his hand, and hit the tall gangster in the abdomen again. The tip of the sword passed through the abdomen, and the gangster fell to the ground and died.

Perhaps the mother fell to the ground and disturbed the sleeping child. Then the baby burst into tears, and the cry was loud and spread throughout the valley.

The general was unable to move and could only lie half-lying on the carriage wheel.

His right arm was broken and he couldn't move anymore. He stretched out his left hand and pointed at the beautiful woman. He seemed to be trying to catch her and his son, but in the end he couldn't reach either of them.

At this time, a Taoist priest in green clothes was coming down the mountain from the path. When he heard the cry of a baby, he looked in this direction.

Seeing such a tragic scene, he was terrified, so he hid behind a rock and watched secretly. The cry of the baby made him uneasy.

After he confirmed that there was no more fighting, he walked out.

When he came closer, he leaned over and picked up the baby from the beautiful woman's arms. The baby stopped crying immediately, as if it was tired from crying, closed its eyes, puckered its mouth, and fell asleep again.

Just as the Taoist priest was about to turn around and leave, he saw the general's left arm moving. Seeing that he was still breathing, he squatted down to check the general's injury.

The general shook his head slowly, reached into his arms with his left hand, took out the jade pendant hanging around his neck, used his last bit of strength to pull it off, and stretched his left hand towards the baby.

The general only said one sentence: "My son will ward off evil spirits!" He tilted his head and died.

The Taoist priest took off the jade pendant from the general's hand.

The round jade pendant is the size of a silver dollar, crystal clear and engraved on both sides. It shows a whale exhaling and spraying water. There is a small hole at the top of the water column.

The Taoist priest thought it was the general's relic and a token for his children, so he put it in his bag.

The Taoist priest checked the other gangsters one by one, and found that none of them were alive, so he went up the mountain with the baby in his arms.

Soon, seven or eight Taoist priests came down from the mountain and collected the body. The general and the beautiful woman were buried together under the east cliff, and a tomb was built with gravel.

The coachman was buried on the south side of the general.

The bandits were buried under the cliff on the west side.

Ala Yanzong raised his eyes and looked at a piece of gravel on the west side of the valley.

The gravel is almost level with the road surface, and bones are still exposed in some places.

Alayanzong knew that the gangsters who killed his parents were buried there.

Every time he came to visit the grave, he would look at it from a distance. At first, he still had some hatred, but after so many years, the hatred has faded. After all, his father has personally avenged the blood sorrow.

Ala Yanzong reached into his arms, took out the jade pendant, and looked at the whale pattern on it.

The whale is vivid, fat and beautiful, and the water jet is powerful, showing its vitality.

He didn't know what it meant, he only knew that it was the only thought his father left for him.

The master asked him to wear it on his body, saying that his parents would protect him and help him get rid of evil spirits.

In fact, he didn't even know what his parents looked like. He just heard from his master that he looked exactly like his father. As for his beautiful mother, he could only rely on his imagination. However, he also heard his master say that Ula Zhitao was somewhat similar to his mother.

.

Missing this relative who has no memory does not bring too much sadness. In his impression, Master is his father and mother.

It was getting late and he was looking for a place to stay.

He knew that walking west along the trail and going up the mountain would be the Taoist temple where the master once lived.

His master had taken him there before. Although the house was now in ruins, he could always find a place to withstand the night wind.
