Chapter 16 The Beginning of a Legend

When Yan Ning saw the alchemy sitting in the yard, he immediately woke up a lot: "I'm back."

"It's not late, it's good," Fang Shitian waved to Yan Ning, "Come here."

Yan Ning walked to Fang Shitian and glanced at the two spiritual positions. His voice suddenly became a little low: "Isn't this my parents' spiritual position?"

Fang Shitian nodded: "You don't know why you have been worshiping me in the past eighteen years, right?"

"Dad has never told me." Yan Ning stared at the two spiritual positions and shook his head.

"Sit down, I'll tell you," Fang Shitian stood up and gave up his position to Yan Ning.

He reached out and lit three incense sticks and worshiped the two spiritual tablets. The blue smoke seemed particularly fragile under the faint light, and the breeze blew, and it disappeared.

Fang Shitian took out the ancient Wumen book from Yan Ning's schoolbag and said, "Maybe you have never heard of Wumen, but you must know Maoshan."

Yan Ning said: "It is often filmed in movies that Maoshan is a famous family of ghost-catching."

"The structure of Maoshan is not as simple as mentioned in the movie. During its heyday, Maoshan's Taoist temples were even spread all over the country, but now they have declined. As for the reasons for the decline, you don't know what it is now."

Fang Shi Tian cleared his throat: "Our Maoshan is generally divided into five branches, namely the Ghost Doctor Wumen, Tiandao Yitang, Fengshui Gongliang, Xiangxin Lingzong, and Digudao. Wumen is responsible for medical skills, Yitang is responsible for Taoism and talismans. There is no need to say much about Fengshui Gongliang. The Ling Sect Master faces and hearts, and the people who go to the hall are famous for his hexagrams. Yan Ning, guess which branch of these five branches was once the leader?"

Yan Ning said without hesitation: "Wumen."

"Why do you think so? It shouldn't be the Heavenly Daoyi Hall?" Fang Shitian stared at Yan Ning and said.

"No," Yan Ning shook his head, "Although the human wise channel talismans in Tiandaoyi Hall may be the first of the five branches, people always have birth, old age, sickness and death. No matter how powerful Maoshan people are, they still need the doctors of Wumen as their backing. Therefore, Wumen is the real head of the Five Halls."

After hearing this, Fang Shitian laughed three times: "You guy knows the truth! Our Maoshan Wumen is the leader of the five halls!"

"Then why has it become a single lineage now?" Yan Ning asked in confusion.

"One lineage is the rule I set," Fang Shitian's expression suddenly became much lonely. "I once had a junior brother named Ye Nianchun."

Yan Ning smashed it, smash it, mouth: "That quack doctor Ye Nianchun is your junior brother? When I was a child, my dad often took me to his clinic to cause trouble..."

Fang Shitian smiled helplessly and said, "Nianchun is a mediocre person, but he is not a quack doctor. He and I are orphans, and I were raised by my master. I have been learning medical skills in the mountain gate since I was a child. Speaking of talent, Nianchun may be better than me, but he is very scheming and cares too much about things outside of me, so the master believes that he cannot become the heir of Wumen Ghost Art."

Yan Ning interrupted, "So the ancestor passed on the Wumen ghost technique to you, but not to Ye Nianchun?"

"Yes," said Fang Shitian, "Nianchun was so angry that she went down the mountain to travel, and it took ten years to go. Your ancestor was born in the near future, and soon he drove away. Maoshan was already lonely, and I was the only one left in Wumen. I gave up the mountain gate and went down the mountain to look for Nianchun."

"At that time, the ancestor felt that Nian Chun could not pass on the Wumen Taoism, but I believed that he had this ability."

"But I was killed by a traitor shortly after I went down the mountain and died in a foreign land. Fortunately, I met a kind-hearted person and buried me..."

"Later, my soul wandered in front of the grave and met your parents by chance. At that time, your mother was dying and your life was hanging on the line. Your father begged me to save your mother and son's lives. And you - born with a rebellious bone, destined to fight with Liudao for a lifetime... This is also the reason why Hei Wuchang wanted to capture you. Ye Nianchun also calculated your identity back then, so he did not help your mother. I wanted to borrow your birth and lead Nianchun to my tomb and pass on him the Wumen ghost technique, but I didn't expect that he came. The first thing he did was to burn my body and destroy my desolate grave."

"It was not until this time that I realized that although Wumen's medical skills are the best in the world, some diseases and some hearts are helpless. This is also the reason why the Wumen generation passed down alone."

Fang Shitian touched his beard, and a look of sadness appeared in his empty eyes.

Yan Ning didn't expect that there was such a grudge between Fang Shitian and Ye Nianchun. If Ye Nianchun thought of a little affection for his fellow disciples, he would not end up in disgrace and ended up in depression when he saw Fang Shitian's soul.

Yan Ning didn't understand what it was to be born with a rebellious bone, and he didn't want to fight with the Six Paths. He only cared about one thing: the alchemist heaven saved his life.

"When I was a child, I heard from my dad that my life was saved by a miracle doctor, but I didn't expect it was you!"

Fang Shitian sighed: "It's a pity that I couldn't save your mother."

Yan Ning was silent for a moment, suddenly he stood up and knelt in front of the alchemist Tian, ​​and said respectfully:

"Master is here, and my disciple has offended him before, so please forgive me."

Before, the alchemist Tian accepted Yan Ning as his disciple, but it was just the wishful thinking of the alchemist Tian, ​​but Yan Ning's heart was not in the Wumen. But now Yan Ning knew that his life was given by the alchemist Tian. Even if the alchemist Tian took action to save him to see Ye Nianchun, it was a fact that he saved his life. Yan Ning thanked the alchemist Tian from the bottom of his heart.

Fang Shitian smiled with relief: "Get up, I said, there are not many rules in our Wumen."

"I will be a teacher for one day and a father for life. From today on, I will treat you as a father." Yan Ning said solemnly.

"Don't treat me like my father, otherwise I will lose my life." Fang Shitian shook his head with a wry smile and helped Yan Ning up.

Yan Ning said in confusion: "Why?"

"Remember, in this world, no one can make you call him his father. If there is, it is this day and this place."

"This is why my dad doesn't let me call him his father? But why?"

"Your life is very precious, so Fan Wujiu came to me personally. That's why I asked your father to bring you incense every year. In fact, I have protected you for eighteen years."

Yan Ning was moved and bowed to Fang Shitian: "Will Fan Wujiu come to me again in the future? What special thing do I have?"

"You will understand some things later."

The alchemist Tian handed Yan Ning three incense sticks: "Now, I'll give your parents a incense stick. From tomorrow onwards, you will learn Wumen ghost art from me. I will leave by myself in a year. Whatever you want is all about when you go."

After hearing this, Yan Ning took the incense and bowed seriously to his parents' spiritual position three times. He looked up at the moon in the sky, which was very round but very empty.

Just like Yan Ning's heart now, an inexplicable sense of confusion occupied his heart.

Why is my life important?

Will Fan Wujiu come to me?

What will life in the future be like?
