Thrown Through Time

Chapter Five

The next morning Wei Ying woke up sweating, yet another nightmare to torment him so instead he sighed, after looking around and remembering that he was in cloud Recesses for the yearlong lecture and got cleaned before he snuck out, He wasn't lying when he said that the waterfall bought him peace, so he sat in a mediative position and even though he was bad at this he remembered what Hao Mei had taught him.

He wasn't afraid of going back to where he was, he was terrified, but he also knew that for today he needed a peaceful mind, BoaShan Sanren was right the last time he tried to cleanse it a corpse at a time without thinking the Waterbourne abyss as a whole this time he knew better, could do better so slowly he went into deep meditation.

The voice that had called to him before was now louder along with the screams of the damned and tortured, but it was the voice of the sect leader that was more profound.

"I see the gods have sent you back."

"I plan to save you this time, give you the peace you deserve" said Wei Ying as he floated in his mind.

the soft laugh that came from Lan Yi made even Wei Ying smile.

"I am to help you and yet wish to help me?"

"Shifu, you gave up too much for a simple mistake how can I not help?"

"And you died for a mistake that was not yours to begin with, Wei Ying grandson of my friend BoaShan Sanren, too long have you lived with the guilt caused by others, too long have you tried and succeeded when all have failed... The Yin Iron once joined can be cleansed as a whole but understand this young master it takes not one but all to cleanse it, I shall give you mine when the time comes and allow history to repeat itself, but it will be up to you to save the lives that could have been saved" said Lan Yi as she gave a small smile.

"Shifu, I am afraid of letting everyone down," said Wei Ying

"You will not, if you follow the path that you led, you will find the light you seek."

Wei Ying slowly came out of his meditation and smiled but when he looked up, he saw a frowning Hao Mei and before he could ask, he received a smack against the head.

"Do you have any idea how worried I was when your bed was empty... thinking you left without letting us know then I find you here in meditation, peaceful meditation and my second thought was that you fell asleep!"

"If you consider talking to Shifu Yi who invented the assassination chord for the Lan Clan as sleeping then yes, I was asleep" said Wei Ying as he got up and rubbed his head.

Just as Hao Mei was about to retort Wei Ying placed his hand over Hao Mei's mouth and showed him with his eyes that they were being not only watched but heard as well, in the distance among the trees was a smoking small figure, Hao Mei grabbed his bow and the quiver of arrows from his Qiankun pouch and handed it to Wei Ying, who quickly notched and allowed the arrow to fly hitting the dark creature in the heart. a loud terrifying screech was heard before Cloud Recesses once again fell silent.

Wei Ying eyes narrowed and started to bleed red making Hao Mei take a step backwards in caution rather than fear.

"Wei Ying, you need to calm down" said Hao Mei softly.

Wei Ying blinked a couple of times and Hao Mei sighed in relief as Wei Ying's eyes turned back to normal, everyone on the mountain knew that Yin energy worked better with negative emotions such as anger and hate and when it came to Wen Rouhan and his son's there was no one Wei Ying hated more the Jin's Wei Ying just had anger,

"I'm sorry" said Wei Ying meekly.

"I am fine, it is you that I worry about" smiled Hao Mei

"Hao Mei, before we head to the mountain do you think it would be possible if you could come with me to fetch ChenQing" asked Wei Ying
