Here it goes, starting from the Seventh Generation of the Continuous Love…
With a Cloudless Night, cool breeze blowing across the Town of Qing Jiao Area in Hokkien Province, Xia Men City (中國福建夏門青礁地區), while the Bright Moonlight was shining on the Mansion of Squire Wu (吳相清員外), a loud crying of a new born baby was heard. It was the crying of Squire Wu’s 1st Daughter, which was giving the name of Wu Zi Wei (吳紫薇), this Day was the 15th Day of Lunar 3 Month – which was known as the Manifestation Celebration of Bao Sheng Da Di (保生大帝).
Soon, 40 Days had passed and it was the Day that Squire Wu held the Full-month Celebration for his Daughter, just as the Wu Mansion was flooded with Guests, a Taoist Priest entered into the Main Hall and walked straight to Squire Wu and where Zi Wei was.
Upon looking at the Priest, Zi Wei started to smile broadly and struggled to let the Priest hold on to her, Seeing that Zi Wei behaved so strangely, Squire Wu was surprised and without delaying, he ushered the Priest to a Seat and asked for his Taoist Title.
With returning of Respect, the Priest introduced himself as Priest Qing Huang (慶隍山人), whom started somewhere near in the Forested Area and was about 140 years old.
After knowing that this Priest was a living “Immortal”, Squire Wu respected him more and immediately served Tea to Priest Qing Huang. Just as Squire Wu was about to ask why Zi Wei was attracted to him, Priest Qing Huang smiled and looked at Zi Wei, slowly caressing her forehead and spoke to Squire Wu, telling him that, this girl was actually one of his Cultivation-mate during the Yue Fei Period (岳飛), known as Ye Hong Ling (葉虹翎).
That Year, after Ye Hong Ling, Priest Qing Huang and the other 2 Cultivation-mates entered into the Forest for their Cultivation, Ye Hong Ling’s old wounds (injured during she escaped by being captured) were infected by germs and without a few months, Ye Hong Ling pass-on due to Heart-weakening. After Ye Hong Ling had pass-on, the other 3 Cultivation-mates had to travel to another place to continue their Cultivation and on the way, another Mate known as Chen Shao Jin (陳少金) was being summoned back by an Immortal and left Priest Qing Huang and his sworn brother Jiang Luan (江巒).
Soon, the whole Song Dynasty entered into an Chaotic Situation and so, Priest Qing Huang & Jiang Luan had to travel around to assist in the needy and also, finding a best suitable Cultivation spot. Just as the 2 of them were about to travel to the Island of Formosa, they reached the Border of Hokkien Province – Xia Men (夏門). And so, both of them stayed at one of the deserted Temple to continue their Cultivation and with the fast flowing time, they had reached 100 over years old.
After listening to the explanation of Priest Qing Huang, Squire Wu was delighted and amazed to know that his Daughter was actually closely connected with Priest Qing Huang and after a short consideration, Squire Wu made his request of asking Priest Qing Huang to take in Zi Wei as his Disciple. Upon hearing that, Priest Qing Huang was happy and nodded his head with joyous.
16 Years passed.
In the early morning of the 15th Day of Lunar 3 Month, Zi Wei happily dashed to the Main Hall to pay her respect to her Parent and requested to go to Dong Gong Temple (東宮/青礁慈濟宮/保安宮) to pay respect to Bao Sheng Da Di.
Knowing that this was the “annual task” that Zi Wei would do, so the Parent agreed and asked Xiao Hai (小烸), the maid, to accompany her to the Temple.
Xiao Hai, the personal maid of Zi Wei. At a young age, Xiao Hai was sold to Squire Wu as servant due to her family was poor. Seeing that Xiao Hai was cute and intelligent little girl, Squire Wu sent her to become the child-maid cum playmate of Zi Wei. Since the day, Xiao Hai saw Zi Wei, Xiao Hai had treated her like her Elder Sister and Zi Wei too. For 16 years, Xiao Hai was always being nicely treated by the Wu Family and Zi Wei had treated her like her Real-sister.
Just as both of them were about to leave the House, Priest Qing Huang approached them after his Morning Ritual, Zi Wei and Xiao Hai respectfully pay their respect and reported to Priest Qing Huang of where they were going. As Zi Wei was telling him the programmes of the Day, Priest Qing Huang felt that something was not very right and so, without waiting Zi Wei to end her reporting, Priest Qing Huang started to do a Spiritual Prediction by calculating using his Palm.
Soon, Priest Qing Huang shakes his head and recited a Poem to Zi Wei:
緣起緣生緣無盡。(Fate had arise, Fate had arrived)
沉沉浮浮七世情。(Seeking and Hiding, but it still appeared in this Life)
何時何日何許地。(When and Where, who and how)
才能一刀了緣蒂。(This continuous Fate will be disconnected and be it put aside)
While Priest Qing Huang was reciting the Poem, Zi Wei & Xiao Hai were looking at each other puzzle-ly and after Priest Qing Huang finished, he just walked off and leaving the 2 girls standing on the Doorway staring into space.
In the Temple.
The Temple was filled with Devotees of Bao Sheng Da Di, trying their very best to find a good spot to make their wishes, the 2 girls had to squeeze themselves thru the various layers of “obstacles”. Spotting 2 kneeling-pads were vacant, Xiao Hai quickly dashed over and waved to Zi Wei to come over. Just as both of them were about to pay their respect, commotion arise outside the Temple.
Soon, the commotion was getting nearer to them and after Zi Wei making her requests, she stood up and saw that, it was Li Tian Cheng (李天成), her distant cousin creating the commotion outside the Temple. Knowing that this distant cousin was a hooligan, Zi Wei ignored him and walked off rolling her eyes at him.
Seeing Zi Wei and Xiao Hai were in the Temple, Li Tian Cheng dashed over to greet them and while he was staring at Xiao Hai, Li Tian Cheng stretched out one of his hand to grab hold onto Xiao Hai’s hand. Xiao Hai was shocked and immediately hid behind Zi Wei. Upon seeing this, Zi Wei was angry and immediately shouted at Li Tian Cheng and asked him to get out of the way.
After knowing that Zi Wei had been offending, Li Tian Cheng had to tame down and let them exit from the Temple, just as Zi Wei & Xiao Hai stepped out of the Temple, Li Tian Cheng told his assistants that, one day, he would make sure that these 2 girls suffered under him.
Walking onto the main street, Zi Wei comfort Xiao Hai and just as both of them were chit-chatting, a large crowd blocked their way, Zi Wei was curious to find out what had happened and so, she pulled Xiao Hai into the crowd and soon, Zi Wei reached the front and just at that spilt moment, Zi Wei was attracted by the Young Physician sitting at the low stool, examining the patient.
By looking at the crowd, Xiao Hai was curious of why, so many people were crowded around this Young Physician and so, she started her “Ask Around to get an Answer attitude” by asking around. Soon she got the answer, cos this Young Physician was believed to be one of the Disciples of Bao Sheng Da Di and so, whenever he came to the Temple to pay his respect to Bao Sheng Da Di, people were crowd around him to request for Medical-examination.
Soon, the crowd started to disperse off, only left with Zi Wei, Xiao Hai and the Young Physician. Lifting his head, the Young Physician was deeply attracted by the look of Zi Wei and for a short moment, both of them were like being freezed on the spot. Looking at the 2 people, Xiao Hai was laughing away and with a push at Zi Wei, Zi Wei started to get blush and the Young Physician felt embarrassed.
After a while, Xiao Hai approached the Young Physician and asked for his name, the Young Physician return his respect by introduced himself as Fu Zhi Yi (傅志義).
In-order not to create trouble, Xiao Hai introduced herself as the cousin of Zi Wei and Zi Wei as the Daughter of a Noodle-seller at the other Town.
As the 3 of them were chit-chatting, Li Tian Cheng passed by the spot and noticed that Zi Wei was talking to a stranger, he was quite provoked and so, immediately, he dashed towards the Wu Mansion to accuse Zi Wei of meeting guys secretly outside without reporting to the parent.
Sun setting and the street was deserted.
Zi Wei & Xiao Hai reached home just before Dinner, just as Zi Wei was about to enter the Dining Hall, she saw her father’s face was blacken and her mother was sitting there with a worried expression.
Just as Zi Wei & Xiao Hai entered into the Dining Hall and paying their respect, Squire Wu blew his top by reprimanding Zi Wei’s misbehaviour in the public by talking to stranger guy, etc. Upon hearing that, Zi Wei was shocked, cos she couldn’t figure out, why her father knew about that. On the spot, she had to keep quiet and after dinner, Zi Wei went to look for her mother to find out on the situation.
Knowing that this was his distant cousin’s trick, Zi Wei was annoyed and complaint to her mother on the molesting issue of Xiao Hai by Li Tian Cheng.
3 Months passed.
One Day, after returning home from Dong Gong Temple, Zi Wei was being called to her father’s study room. Upon entering, she saw her distant Aunty, which was the mother of Li Tian Cheng, at the moment, Zi Wei had felt something was wrong and soon, Squire Wu informed Zi Wei that within 2 weeks, she would be married to the Li Family and became the Wife of Li Tian Cheng. At the split second, Zi Wei was almost died of heart attack.
After gaining back her conscious, Zi Wei dashed out crying bitterly. Seeing that Zi Wei was crying, Xiao Hai had to chase after her to check out on what had happened.
Soon, Xiao Hai had found out that Zi Wei was being forced to marry Li Tian Cheng, Xiao Hai was angry and without hesitation, she went to Fu Zhi Yi’s house to inform him that Zi Wei would be married off soon. Upon receiving the news, Zhi Yi was terribly hurt. After Xiao Hai mumbled something into his ears, Zhi Yi started to calm down and nodded to Xiao Hai and promised her that he would do it.
On the Day of the fetching of the Bride, Zi Wei reluctantly to get married, but due to Filialy Piety, she had to accept it. Just as she was stepping out of her room, Priest Qing Huang passed her a note and asked her to open it up after entering into the Sedan Chair.
At the Main Hall, Zi Wei had to bid farewell to her Parent and soon, she was being led to the Sedan Chair.
At the City Border, before entering into the Town of when Li Family staying, suddenly the Sedan Chair stopped, in front of the Sedan Chair, Zhi Yi was trying his best to dash towards where Zi Wei was and with a strong pull, Zhi Yi pulled Zi Wei out from the Sedan Chair, just as the people of the Wedding Procession started to ran towards Zhi Yi & Zi Wei, Xiao Hai & Priest Qing Huang went forward to stop them.
Looking back at them, Zi Wei thanked Xiao Hai & Priest Qing Huang for their kind assistances and with the instruction on the Note, Zhi Yi & Zi Wei escaped to the Straw-hut where Priest Qing Huang had prepared for them.
Even though Zhi Yi & Zi Wei had escaped from the Force-marriage, the 2 of them didn’t get married on the Day, cos of Zhi Yi’s mother had just pass-on for not more than 2 years. Upon discussing, Zi Wei agreed to wait for the mourning period to over then the 2 of them would get married.
Time flies and Heaven was putting testing on them.
After 6 months, Zhi Yi’s saving had used up and knowing that the house need the necessities, Zi Wei secretly sneaked out of the house and went into the Town to pawn her jewelleries in-order to exchange for cash.
At the Pawn-shop, Zi Wei overheard the conversation of the Boss and one of the regular customers, which both of them were the friends of Squire Wu, that Squire Wu was seriously ill after her Daughter had escaped from the marriage, besides that, Li Tian Cheng had made a report to the Magistrate Officer to sue Squire Wu for not keeping his promise of marrying his Daughter to the Li Family.
Upon hearing the news, Zi Wei break-down and without consideration, she ran home.
At the Doorway, Zi Wei started to get worried and scared. She worried that her father might not be able to forgive her and she scared that, Li Tian Cheng would be hiding somewhere to wait for her.
Just as she was hiding herself behind the Doorway Lion, Mu Lian (木蓮), her mother’s maid saw her and with joyous, Mu Lian ran towards her to ask for her current situations. After explaining to Mu Lian, Zi Wei requested Mu Lian to let her in without anyone noticing. Mu Lian agreed and so, she asked Zi Wei to wait at the Rear-alley while she went to open the Kitchen Door for Zi Wei to enter.
Soon, Zi Wei was inside the Mansion and after finding out from Mu Lian, Xiao Hai was being captured by the Magistrate Officer and was tortured to death while being confessed to plead guilty. Zi Wei was shocked and deeply upset by the death of Xiao Hai and she promised that, forever, Xiao Hai would be her sister no matter where & when.
While the 2 Ladies were chatting, they came to the side window of Squire Wu’s resting room. By peeking into the room, Zi Wei saw that her father had slim down a lot and looked seriously ill.
Tears rolling, throat stuck with Thousand Words.
As Zi Wei was about to leave with bitterness, suddenly she heard her father calling her name in his dream. At this moment, Zi Wei couldn’t stand it anymore, she quickly dashed towards the room door and pushed open the door and ran towards her father’s bedside.
Holding on to the hands of her father & calling softly at her father, Zi Wei break-down. In the dream, Squire Wu heard Zi Wei calling him. Thinking that, this was just a dream, Squire Wu didn’t open his eyes till the second round of calling by Zi Wei, Squire Wu realised that this was not dream.
While he slowly opened his eyes, Zi Wei was kneeling at the bed side, Squire Wu was overly-joy seeing Zi Wei had returned her.
Seeing that her father had awaked, Zi Wei kowtowed to him and asked for forgiveness. Trying his best to sit up, Squire Wu grab-hold onto Zi Wei’s hands and told her that there was no grudge between parents and their children and he only wanted her to be happy. Upon hearing that, both the father and daughter hugged each other and cried out sadly.
Soon, Squire Wu agreed to let Fu Zhi Yi to move in for the treatment of him, with the help of the Old Servant, Uncle Wu Yong (吳府管家吳勇伯), Zhi Yi was being fetched back to the Wu Mansion. From then, the Family was considered Reunion.
After a Month, while Li Tian Cheng was making his trip to Wu Mansion to ask for compensation, a Thunder strike onto him and on the spot, Li Tian Cheng was killed due to his Evil-doing debits. When the news reached the Wu Mansion, all the People were delighted and celebrating the death of Li Tian Cheng.
With the Knowledge of Chinese Medical Skills that Zhi Yi had, Squire Wu was being cured in a short period and knowing that Zhi Yi was a Young Guy with determination and aims, Squire Wu decided to sponsor him to enter into the Imperial Physician Department by going thru the Imperial Examination.
When this news was being mentioned over the Dinner, Zhi Yi & Zi Wei were delighted and both of them kneeled down to thank Squire Wu for the kindness and understanding.
On the Day of departure, Squire Wu promised Zhi Yi that, once he returned from the Imperial Examination, Zi Wei would marry him and by looking at Zi Wei, Zhi Yi happily accepted it and just as he was about to leave, Zi Wei went towards him and tied a Red-string – from Yue Lao Temple (月老祠), onto his left hand and Zi Wei’s on her right hand, this was to signify Forever Together.
While on the way to the Imperial City, Zhi Yi had encountered a lot of obstacles and testing, All these somehow had delayed his chance of sitting for the Imperial Examination and so, worrying that Zi Wei would get worried for him, so he had wrote a letter to Zi Wei that, he could only take the Imperial Examination on the next batch – which was 3 years later, during these 3 years, he would be travelling around to leave other Medical Skills.
Just as the letter was about to reach Wu Mansion, a heavy storm occurred and the Postman was being washed off by the serious flood at the City Border.
1 year passed, Zi Wei comfort herself that Zhi Yi was returning soon.
2 years passed, Zi Wei had engaged her Family Guard to go search for Zhi Yi but no sign of him was found.
3 years passed, Zi Wei had visit ALL Temples in her City to request for Blessings for Zhi Yi.
Just as Zi Wei was about to give up, some newly Graduated Scholars from the New Batch Imperial Examination had returned home, so Zi Wei made her trips to meet up with all these new Scholars to find out whether Zhi Yi was being selected to station in the Imperial Court.
After finding out, one of the Scholars told her that, Zhi Yi’s name was being recorded in the last Batch Imperial Examination, but on the Day of Examination, Zhi Yi was not around for that.
Upon hearing that, Zi Wei was shocked. In her mind, she was thinking that Zhi Yi had been killed by Bandits or so. And at this moment, the Red String that Zi Wei was wearing on her Right Hand suddenly dropped off. Looking at the fallen Red String, Zi Wei sensed that something bad had happening. As she was trying to figure out what had happened, she landed outside Dong Gong Temple. Lifting her head and staring at the Statue of Bao Sheng Da Di, she kneeled down and sobbed pitifully and request for any form of forgiveness, hoping that Zhi Yi could return home safely.
After exiting from the Temple, Zi Wei came to the Cliff besides the Temple. Just as she was looking down into the Cliff, she saw Zhi Yi’s image and without hesitation, Zi Wei jumped off the Cliff. From then, no one had seen her body.
1 Month later, Zhi Yi arrived back at Wu Mansion with the Pride of being appointed as the 7th Grade Imperial Physician, just as he entered into the Mansion, he saw the Mourning Altar for Zi Wei, at 1st, he couldn’t believe his eyes, he thought that these were tricks or illusion, but after Mu Lian explained to him on the actual fact, Zhi Yi break-down with disappointment and sadness.
While Squire Wu preparing the Mourning Clothing for Zhi Yi, Zhi Yi dashed out of the Mansion and with sadness shouting and bitterly crying, Zhi Yi lost in the crowd.
As Squire Wu was trying to chase after Zhi Yi, a Priest approached him and asked him not to continue chasing, cos this was the fate of Zhi Yi. After exchanging names, the Priest was known as Priest Jiang Luan (江巒山人) and just behind him, was Priest Qing Huang.
20 years later, someone had saw Zhi Yi (wearing Priest Robes) plucking Herbs on the Hill at back of Dong Gong Temple. From then, Zhi Yi was not found.
風風雨雨情若定。(Everything seems to have settled down)
哪知雷火又導引。(But something unexpected happened again)
七世真情難為了。(Fates had to continue without ending)
只待皇天不復命。(Only Heaven will knows when its stopping)
