Heaven Road
2. The injured legend

Yin Sheng pondered over every word of his mother while sitting down and fishing. Yep... Fishing... Although it can not be said to be fishing, because there is not a single fish that he got.

Whether because of bad luck or indeed he is not talented in fishing, the fish in the river no one wants to take the bait.

Byur...

Yin Sheng's daydream was solved by an unreasonable occurrence. Someone who had appeared out of nowhere suddenly fell into the river.

"Bad... You make the fish go!" Bump Yin Sheng while throwing a stone towards the river where the man fell earlier.

One sec.

Two seconds.

Until ten seconds the man who had gone into the water did not reveal his nose. Yin Sheng panicked, and jumped into the river to save the man.

"Uncle... Uncle..." Yin Sheng tried to wake up the man he had just pulled from the river. There appeared to be a lump on his head, which Yin Sheng believed was a wound from him.

Yet Yin Sheng was also surprised, seeing many tears on his clothes, and the cuts were quite deep.

Seeing no reaction, Yin Sheng started slapping the Man's cheek. Still not getting the expected reaction, Yin Sheng started to punch the Man in the face.

Buk...

Buk...

Yin Sheng's punch was enough to make the Man's face bump in parts.

"Is this uncle dead?" Yin Sheng Mumbled... "It's urgent... I could be accused of being the murderer of this man." Yin Sheng started to panic. He also took the initiative to check the man's breath.

"Thankfully... Still alive..."

Feeling sorry for the man, and also as a form of responsibility for throwing it with a stone. Yin Sheng brought the Man home With a wooden stick, Yin Sheng tied the two legs and hands of the Man. Shoulder it should carry firewood.

"Mothers... Mum..." Call Yin Sheng after arriving in front of the house.

Bruck...

Yin Sheng threw the man's body on the ground and rushed into the house to look for his mother.

"Jeez Sheng'er... What the hell's going on? Is he dead? We need to bury him quickly!" Xie Qinling was more panicked than Yin Sheng, He was really afraid that Yin Sheng would commit an assassination and be known to the villagers. Yin Sheng was expelled from the village, and he had to live alone.

"She's still alive mother. I found him falling into the river."

Xie Qinling could only breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Yin Sheng's explanation. "God... This shirt..." Xie Qinling observed the clothes worn by the man more thoroughly.

"What's the matter mom? Do you know who that guy is?"

"No... But the clothes are very expensive... Look at the quality of the fabric used to make this shirt..."

Prancing...

Yin Sheng felt that something was wrong with his mother's brain. Not to care about the injuries experienced by the Man, but his mother paid more attention to the quality of the cloth from the clothes worn by the Man.

"We take his things and then we throw him back into the river..." A sly smile from his mother emanated.

"What?" Yin Sheng was surprised to hear the opinion of his mother. His mother who had always seemed meek turned out to have an evil nature in him.

"Handering Sheng'er... Take him to the back hut. We're treating his wounds." Said Xie Qinling while rubbing the head of Yin Sheng whose height was already almost the same as her.

"Don't we take it inside Ma'am's house?"

"No... I'd be mad if another man came into the house. We also have to keep the minds of the citizens." Reply Xie Qinling while entering the house. Preparing the ingredients to help take care of the Man that Yin Sheng saved.

"Good ma'am..."

Three days had passed, The man who was helped by Yin Sheng finally came to his senses from his stupor.

"Ah... Finally realized you were also uncle..."

The voice of the man growing up was heard in the man's ears. The man looked to the right, and found a man of stout stature but a little short.

"Where am I?" Ask the man as he tries to get up. But his whole body was like slicing. The pain was all over his body.

"Don't move much first Uncle. Uncle just fainted 3 days." Said Yin Sheng who was now replacing the herbs in one of the man's wounds.

"Law... It hurts..."

"Ah... Excuse me... This will make your wound dry quickly. So please hold on a little..." Reply Yin Sheng while standing carrying a basin of water and moving out of the room.

The man could only sigh, looking at the rickety hut where he lay motionless.

A week just passed. Despite being able to walk, the man Yin Sheng saved was still locked inside the hut. Yin Sheng did not understand what the man was doing, he just sat down cross-legged while closing his eyes.

Yao He's... Just his name alone could Yin Sheng know about the Man. For his origin and other identities, Yin Sheng had not managed to retrieve the information.

Yin Sheng had also reported the true incident to the Village Chief. The Village Chief had also met Yao He. The Village Chief also sent a message to Yin Sheng and his mother to be careful, considering the identity of the man was so mysterious.

"No...." A shout sounded so loud from within the hut Yao He was in. Yin Sheng and Xie Qinling rushed into the hut to check what was going on.

Yao He's face was so pale, sweat poured down his entire forehead. An angry expression was clearly on his face.

"What's Uncle Yao doing?" Yin Sheng tried to get close to Yao He.

"Don't Sheng'er..." Prevent Xie Qinling. He understood and knew very well what had happened to Yao He.

"No way... It can't be..." Slowly Yao He's expression turned sad. Tears slowly came down from the corner of his eye.

Yin Sheng stared confusedly, whereas Xie Qinling could only sigh deeply. Xie Qinling knew very well that Yao He was being so struck by Yao He's current body condition. Right now his drinya could only sympathize with Yao He.

How not to sympathize, if what Yao He had done all this time as a cultivator had to be wasted.

Yao He's cry grew even more so, although it was still without a sound. His tears are flowing more and more. Wept over every qi that slowly came out from his dantian.

Yep... Yao He's dantian had leaked out... Causing the qi he had gathered all this time to seep out by itself.
