Twenty-three years ago, at night.
In front of the Ye Family.
"My friend, I'm Ye Kong." Ye Kong, who was holding a baby in his arms and holding a long sword, said vigilantly as he sized up the person wearing a ghost mask in front of him. "You're looking for me?"
"You're Ye Kong?" The person's voice was deep. Through the ghost mask, a pair of sharp eyes stared at Ye Kong as he asked slowly.
"That's me." Ye Kong said, "May I ask why you're here in the middle of the night?"
"To be honest." The person holding the umbrella looked at the baby in Ye Kong's arms. "I'm here specifically for the baby in your hands."
Ye Kong was shocked when he heard the person holding the umbrella say this. He immediately took a step back and raised the long sword in his hand, pointing it at the person holding the umbrella. "What do you want?"
"Haha." The person holding the umbrella laughed. "Mr. Ye, you've misunderstood. I don't have any bad intentions in coming to your residence. I'm only here because someone asked me to fulfill a promise. "
"Promise?" Ye Kong didn't put down the sword in his hand. He asked coldly, "What promise?"
"It's inconvenient to talk here." The person holding the umbrella looked around and then said to Ye Kong, "Can we talk inside?"
"If you don't tell me clearly, I'll kill you with one strike." Ye Kong said coldly. This mysterious person holding the umbrella looked very strange. The moment he opened his mouth, he said that he was here for the baby in his hands. Plus, the Heavenly Thunder just now made him nervous and anxious to protect his child.
"Mr. Ye," the person holding the umbrella said calmly, "If I had any bad intentions, I would've done it already. I wouldn't have waited until now. I'm here for an important matter. "
"If you have something to say, then say it here." Ye Kong said coldly, "If you don't want to say it, please leave quickly."
"Sigh." The person holding the umbrella sighed and said, "Then I'm sorry to offend you." After he finished speaking, the man with the umbrella opened his eyes wide. In an instant, his hair and beard moved, and the straw cape on his body fluttered without wind. A domineering aura was instantly emitted from his body. Before Ye Kong could react, he heard three crisp sounds. The long sword in his hand broke into three pieces and fell to the ground. Only the hilt was left in his hand.
This scene shocked Ye Kong so much that he was stunned on the spot. This person was able to break the sword in his hand, which was made of fine steel, into three pieces with just a glare. What kind of cultivation was this? Even his father, Ye Yun, was far from reaching this level. The difference between his current cultivation and that of this umbrella holder was like the difference between heaven and earth!
"Mr. Ye," the person holding the umbrella looked at Ye Kong, who was frozen in place. He cupped his hands and said, "I have no choice. I hope Mr. Ye won't take offense. I do have something important to tell you. "
Ye Kong looked at the broken sword in his hand, then looked at the sincere person holding the umbrella. He understood a little. It seemed that this person was right. With his cultivation, if he wanted to take away the baby in his hand, it would be as easy as flipping his hand. This person probably didn't have any ill intentions and really did have something important to tell him.
Thinking of this, Ye Kong threw the broken sword to the side and said, "Just now, Ye Kong was eager to protect his child and offended you with his words. I hope you can forgive me."
"I understand," the person holding the umbrella replied with a smile.
"Sir, please come in." Ye Kong extended his hand.
"Sorry for the intrusion," the person holding the umbrella said as he followed Ye Kong into the inner courtyard. They went directly to Ye Kong's study. Ye Kong had always liked peace and quiet, so this study was located in a secluded place in the back garden of the Ye Kong residence. Everyone knew about Ye Kong's habits. Other than Ye Fan and Madam Ye Kong, no one was allowed to enter without Ye Kong's permission. Seeing that the person holding the umbrella had something important to tell him, Ye Kong led him to this place.
After the two entered the study, they sat down as the host and the guest. The person holding the umbrella placed the item wrapped in a green cloth on the table. He let go of the black umbrella in his hand. The black umbrella floated in the air and stopped a foot above his head. Although Ye Kong felt it was strange, he didn't ask any questions.
"Sir," Ye Kong asked, "why are you looking for me? Why did you say you were here for my child?"
"I was asked by someone to seal your son on the 15th of August, the day of the full moon," the person holding the umbrella said.
"Asked by someone? Seal? "Ye Kong didn't understand what the person holding the umbrella was saying.
"I think Mr. Ye already knows what happened just now," the person holding the umbrella said. "When your son was born, the Blood Moon appeared, followed by the thunder. Does Mr. Ye not suspect your son's identity? "
As soon as the person holding the umbrella said this, Ye Kong was shocked. The person in front of him seemed to know more about the baby in his hand than he did.
"Please enlighten me," Ye Kong said quickly. From the person's tone, he probably knew the identity of the baby. If that was the case, how could Ye Kong not be anxious?
"To be honest," the person holding the umbrella said, "your son is the reincarnation of my third brother, Eldritch. He was born in your home today."
"Eldritch?" Ye Kong was confused. "Third brother?"
"Eldritch is my third brother's nickname. His real name is Bufan Ye," the person holding the umbrella said calmly. "Back then, my third brother resigned to pursue Taoism. Later, he met an expert who took him in as a disciple. However, because of his unruly behavior, his character was both righteous and evil, and he was expelled from the sect. After that, he became even more uncontrollable. He made a huge mistake and caused dissatisfaction among the cultivators. Both the righteous and evil sects chased after him non-stop, causing countless disasters. In the end, he angered the heavens and the people, and the Heavenly Court sent people to capture him. Sigh!" The person holding the umbrella sighed. "My third brother was arrogant and unruly. In the end, he self-destructed and died without a complete corpse."
After hearing this, Ye Kong felt like he was in a dream. He didn't recover for a long time.
"My third brother's cultivation was profound. He had already predicted his own ending." The person holding the umbrella continued. "He later found me and told me that after he died, he would be reincarnated in the Ye family. He also told me the time of his reincarnation, the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the tenth snake year. My third brother knew that his resentment was heavy and his murderous aura was strong. There would definitely be a vision in the world. Therefore, he taught me the method of sealing. He asked me to seal his Niwan Palace today to prevent him from having an evil aura since he was young. "
"You mean to say that this newborn baby is your third brother, which is … Eldritch's reincarnation?" Ye Kong finally understood the person's intention. He frowned and said.
"That's right." The person holding the umbrella replied.
"What's with the heavenly lightning and the blood moon?" Ye Kong asked. "Since you knew that the heavenly lightning was coming, why didn't you show up and tell me in advance? Aren't you afraid that the heavenly lightning will take my son's life? "
"Although the heavenly lightning is fierce, it won't hurt this child." The person holding the umbrella smiled.
"How do you know?" Ye Kong asked.
"There are three reasons why the heavenly lightning didn't fall just now." The person holding the umbrella said.
"I'd like to hear the details." Ye Kong said.
"First." The person holding the umbrella said, "Mr. Ye, you held your son tightly. If the heavenly lightning struck, it would definitely hurt you. Sir, you're a kind person. How could the heavenly lightning strike so easily and accidentally hurt a good person?"
"What's the second reason?" Ye Kong asked again.
"Second." The person holding the umbrella continued, "I just heard Mr. Ye make a vow in the room. You're willing to give up half of your life to forgive your son. Your feelings can move heaven and earth. It's very moving. Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. This is the second reason. "
After Ye Kong heard this, he was secretly shocked. Just now, the heavenly lightning was rolling and the thunder was rumbling. His words in the living room were actually heard clearly by this person. This person's cultivation was unfathomably high.
"Third." Ye Kong said.
"As for the third reason," the person holding the umbrella said, "Although Third Brother was arrogant and unruly in the past and had a strong murderous aura, he was kind-hearted. Although he made a big mistake in a moment of impulse, he saved many people and accumulated some good karma. Because of his merits and demerits, and because of the two reasons I just mentioned, the heavenly lightning finally let your son go. However … "The person holding the umbrella looked at Ye Kong. He wanted to say something but stopped.
"However what?" Ye Kong asked.
"However, Sir, in order to save your son, you sacrificed your life to protect him." The person holding the umbrella thought for a moment and said, "I've observed that your life has been reduced by ten years."
After Ye Kong heard this, he understood a little. Just now, after he made the vow, he suddenly felt his vision turn black. Then, everything returned to normal. It must be because Heaven took away ten years of his life. So be it. For the sake of my own flesh and blood, I don't mind losing ten years of my life. He looked down at the infant in his arms and thought to himself.
At this time, the infant in the swaddling clothes was still the same as before. He looked at Ye Kong with a smile, and even stretched out his chubby little hand to touch Ye Kong's face. If it wasn't for the vision just now, Ye Kong wouldn't have believed that the infant in front of him was so extraordinary. What surprised him even more was that the person holding the umbrella in front of him had a cultivation level that was far beyond his imagination. He could actually check one's life! However, he couldn't easily believe the words of the person holding the umbrella just because he had a high cultivation level.
"Forgive me for being blunt," Ye Kong calmed down and said to the person holding the umbrella, "The concept of reincarnation is illusory. I'm just an ordinary person. I can't casually confirm that this child is your third brother's reincarnation just because you said so. If you want to say so, you need to show me convincing evidence. Moreover, "Ye Kong said," Your Excellency is wearing a mask and won't show your true face to others. You also won't reveal your identity. How can I know whether or not you're telling the truth? "
"I've said before," the person holding the umbrella said, "Knowing my identity won't bring any benefits to your Ye family. It might even bring trouble."
"The Ye family is open and aboveboard. Even if there's trouble, we'll deal with it ourselves. We won't implicate others," Ye Kong said to the person holding the umbrella, "Your Excellency, please show me your evidence and reveal your identity."
"Hahaha," the person holding the umbrella laughed loudly, "People say that Ye Kong from the Ye family is flawless, eloquent, and a peerless genius. It's true. Well, since Mr. Ye said so, if I don't reveal my identity, I'll seem petty." As the person holding the umbrella spoke, he reached out and took off the ghost mask on his face. His face was delicate, his lips were red, his eyebrows were straight, and his eyes were bright and very sharp.
"I'm Ye Qiu," the person holding the umbrella said as he took out an item from his pocket and handed it to Ye Kong, "Mr. Ye, please take a look."
Ye Kong took the item from the person holding the umbrella and was shocked, "Jade Leaf?"
The item in his hand was the Ye Family's keepsake, the "Jade Leaf." The item was a leaf that was delicately carved out of jade. The leaf was emerald green, the veins were straight, and the leaf network was delicate. There was an ancient seal word "Ye" on the back, simple and elegant.
"So it's the Ye family from the Central Plains. Sorry for the disrespect." Ye Kong quickly returned the item in his hand to the person holding the umbrella. The Ye family was definitely not simple. It was a very old family. The Ye family had been practicing medicine for generations, saving the dying and helping the injured. They were known as the "Deadly King of Hell, the Life-Saving Ye Fang." It was obvious that the Ye Family's medical skills were very high.
Since ancient times, there had always been Ye Family members who served as imperial physicians in the palace. What was even more shocking was that those who served as imperial physicians were usually people with mediocre medical skills. The true medical experts of the Ye family never bothered to serve the nobles in the palace. Instead, they generously provided medicine to the working masses and helped them. The Tian Yi Hall of the Ye family was famous all over the world. There was no one who didn't know about it. Almost all of the top medical experts of the Ye family were gathered in the Tian Yi Hall. In the Ye family, the person with the best medical skills would be appointed as the master of the Tian Yi Hall. He could freely flip through the unique medical books in the Tian Yi Hall. Like the Ye family, the Ye family attached great importance to virtue. Even if a person without virtue had the Art of Rejuvenation, he or she would be expelled from the Ye family. His or her Ye status would be revoked, and he or she would not be buried in the ancestral grave after death. However, the difference between the Ye family and the Ye family was that in addition to virtue, the Ye family's medical skills were passed down regardless of gender. As long as one was a member of the Ye Family, they could learn medical skills. It didn't matter if you were a ten-year-old child or an eighty-year-old man. As long as you had the best medical skills and good medical ethics, you would be elected as the master of the Tian Yi Hall.
However, although the Tian Yi Hall was famous, it also had the rule of "Three Doctors and Three Non-Doctors."
The three doctors: "The poor commoners should be treated." Commoners often didn't have the money to see a doctor. When they came to the Tian Yi Hall, they didn't have to worry about this. The Tian Yi Hall would provide free medical services and prescribe medicine for free. "Those who serve the country and the people, those who are loyal and filial, should be treated." If a loyal person, a person who loved the people, or a filial person fell seriously ill, the Tian Yi Hall would take the initiative to send someone to treat him or her. They would do their best to treat him or her. "Those who turn over a new leaf should be treated." People weren't saints, and everyone made mistakes. It was the most important thing to know one's mistakes and change for the better. Even if you were a devil who killed without blinking an eye, as long as you turned over a new leaf, the Tian Yi Hall would not stand by and do nothing.
As long as it was an evil person, even if you brought a mountain of gold here, the Heavenly Medicine Building wouldn't even let you enter. As long as you were an evil person, even if you brought a mountain of gold here, the Heavenly Medicine Building wouldn't even let you enter. As long as you were an evil person, even if you brought a mountain of gold here, the Heavenly Medicine Building wouldn't let you enter. 'Disloyal, unjust, and unfilial people,' the Heavenly Medicine Building wouldn't even look at you and would directly kick you out of the building. 'Despicable and vile people,' the Heavenly Medicine Building hated those who sowed discord and were insidious and cunning the most.
After taking charge of the Tian Yi Hall, the Hall Master would receive the hall's token, the "Jade Root", which was a carved jade tree root. The Tian Yi Hall elders' tokens were the "Jade Body", which was a few carved jade tree trunks. The Ye Family outside the Tian Yi Hall had Yu Zhi and Yu Ye. Yu Zhi was the elder, and Yu Ye was the younger generation. If all these tokens were gathered together, it would be a luxuriant and auspicious treasure tree! It was said that there was a shocking secret hidden in the treasure tree, but no one knew what the secret was.
In short, the Ye Family was also a mysterious family.
Now that he saw the Ye Family's Jade Leaf token, Ye Kong felt relieved. The Ye Family valued morality the most, so what this person said should be true.
"As for the proof that your son is the reincarnation of my third brother, it's even simpler," the umbrella man said. "You can check your son's back to see if there is a mark of a crescent moon."
