"Sir, Master Fan and Master Zhang from the front yard have been here for a long time. They asked me to ask you, do you want to go to Cuihong Mansion?" In front of the bed, a short and fat old man was bending down to ask for instructions.
"Cuihonglou?" The young man leaning on the soft couch was pale, and it took him a long time to open his hazy eyes. When he saw the old man, he immediately felt as if he had seen a ghost, and his narrow eyes widened.
"Uncle Fu, you, you, you, are you still alive?"
Seeing the young master like this, the short and fat old man also panicked. He quickly stepped forward to help you and said, "Sir, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me? Are you scared? I'll go find the Taoist priest right now."
The young master's eyes were blurry, and he vaguely saw this short, fat old man covered in blood, holding a swordsman in black for dear life, shouting in a hissing voice: "Young Master, leave quickly, leave me alone, leave quickly!"
Then he was beheaded by the swordsman in black...
After being stunned for a long time, Ling Xiao came back to his senses. He slowly scanned the room with his eyes, waved the old man to leave, took a deep breath, and murmured to himself: "This shouldn't be an illusion. Could it be that I have returned to my boyhood? Three hundred years ago.
Before? But I clearly remember that I died together with Li Fengxue, how could there be such a miraculous change?"
As if he still didn't believe it, Ling Xiao jumped off the bed and walked to the bronze mirror to look carefully.
The young man in the mirror has handsome features and a medium build, but his face is pale and he looks as if he has never been exposed to the sun. He looks like a green young man, a dandy.
"Yes, this is my fifteen-year-old self."
Ling Xiao reached out and touched the bronze mirror gently, and the painful memories that had been suppressed for more than three hundred years suddenly appeared in his mind like a volcano erupting.
The Ling family is one of the four major families in Black Rock City.
His father is Ling Shouxin, the only son of Ling Potian, the contemporary head of the Ling family, and the fifth in the family. As the legitimate son of the eldest son, although his qualifications are mediocre, he is the chief heir of the Ling family.
However, there are many cousins in my father's generation, especially those with amazing cultivation levels. The reputation of the nine sons of the Ling family is well-known not only in Black Rock City, but also in the entire Bohai County. These uncles also want to get involved and compete for the position of the head of the family.
Very intense.
For a family, having too many talents can sometimes be a pain.
Especially after grandpa Ling Potian began to retreat in order to break through the Earth Yuan Realm, this kind of competition rose to the extreme. Overtly and covertly, those uncles used almost everything, and used any means.
He, Ling Xiao, as the third generation successor of Nagato, was the first to bear the brunt of this, and was regarded as a thorn in everyone's side.
First, he was tricked into taking Five Stone Powder, which ruined his cultivation. Then he was tricked by his cousins into going to brothels and gambling houses, where he spent a lot of money and almost destroyed most of his property.
That's all. The most serious gambling was that he was tricked and his wife, who had not yet married, also lost.
That was the legitimate daughter of another aristocratic family in Black Rock City, the Wang family.
As soon as this incident came out, the reputation of Nagato's family was almost hit to the extreme. His father, Ling Shouxin, turned gray overnight, but he still struggled to support himself and maintained the family with his mediocre qualifications.
In order to pay off the debt, Ling Shouxin secretly misappropriated a large amount of public funds, which also laid hidden dangers for future competition among family heads.
When Ling Potian came out of seclusion, the reputation of the Nagato family fell to the bottom. His grandfather, who was already seventy years old, failed in seclusion, his cultivation level declined greatly, and he could no longer maintain the majesty of the family leader.
Ling Shouxin's misappropriation of public funds was also exposed, and he was tried by his family and thrown into prison. As soon as this incident came out, Ling Potian vomited blood in public and lost all his martial arts.
And the instigator of all this, Ling Xiao, simply broke the rules and wandered around the brothels and gambling houses. He became a laughing stock of the Ling family and was ridiculed by all kinds of things.
But it's not over yet.
When I was twenty years old, a group of swordsmen in black appeared out of nowhere and poured out of the Ling family to start a killing spree. Overnight, the Ling family was slaughtered. Ling Xiao, who was in the brothel at the time, was pestered by the old housekeeper.
The swordsman who was chasing him managed to escape with his life.
After that, he wandered around the world and mixed in the three religions and nine streams. Although he wanted to take revenge, he suffered from a poor foundation.
After practicing hard for more than ten years, he reluctantly joined the Qingyun Sect and became an outer disciple.
At the Qingyun Sect, Ling Xiao practiced almost desperately, and finally broke through the Earth Yuan realm at the age of sixty, entered the inner sect, and became a disciple of the "Autumn Water Sword" Leng Qianqiu.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In an inexplicable conflict, the Qingyun Sect offended the Disha Sect for some reason, and the whole family was massacred. Ling Xiao and the master teamed up to break out of the siege, but failed in their efforts. He watched the female master whom he respected and loved die in his arms.
inside.
After experiencing such sorrow in the world, Ling Xiao no longer had any distracting thoughts. After practicing hard in the barren mountains for a month, he resolutely embarked on the path of revenge.
But at this time, the enemy has grown into a huge monster.
The Disha Sect has swallowed up more than ten sects and has become the number one force in Bohai County. Under this situation, Ling Xiao failed to assassinate him several times and lost his right arm instead.
In extreme grief, Ling Xiao prepared to return to the ruins of his family to commit suicide. However, he accidentally obtained a strange scrap of iron, from which he obtained a special cultivation secret book.
After that, he practiced hard for more than ten years and was finally promoted to a master in the Tianyuan realm.
Ling Xiao was overjoyed and went for revenge with full confidence, only to learn that Tian Xingyun, the young sect leader of the Disha Clan who provoked the killings, was already a top master in the Tianyuan Realm.
Probably because he had suffered many blows in his life, Ling Xiao's mind had reached a state of perseverance and unyielding at this time.
Ling Xiao continued to practice while cultivating his power.
Several decades later, when Ling Xiao learned that Tian Xingyun was bedridden, he finally began to take revenge.
First, he used a series of assassinations, and when his forces were almost completely gone, he finally lured Tian Xingyun and his party out of the Disha Sect.
At this time, Ling Xiao took action personally.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other.
The two immediately began to fight. Although Tian Xingyun was ill, he was already a master at the peak of Tianyuan realm. Ling Xiao could only hold on with a violent aura in his chest.
If the ancient sword formation had not been deployed in advance, there would have been no chance at all.
It's a pity that God does not follow people's wishes. Tian Xingyun's wealth is too strong. In times of crisis, talismans, elixirs and even treasures emerge one after another. The power of an incomplete ancient sword array is completely exhausted.
Seeing that there was no hope of revenge, Ling Xiao finally collapsed and activated a special martial skill recorded in the broken iron fragments. He stepped forward to hug Tian Xingyun, burned all his energy, self-exploded his Dantian, and died with him.
But at the last moment, I learned about the group of swordsmen in black from Tian Xingyun.
It turns out that the young master of the Disha Sect is just a chess piece. Behind him, there is a much larger force hidden.
At this time, Ling Xiao was filled with regret, but was powerless.
Before he died, he was still thinking about it.
"If God can give me another chance to come back, I will make sure this never happens again!"
With a loud noise, Ling Xiao and Tian Xingyun finally ended this miserable life...
These painful memories emerged in his mind, and Ling Xiao's whole body was trembling slightly.
Three hundred years of struggle.
Barely seeing the light of day, without any hope, fighting against fate.
Every time, when I was about to succeed, I was struck down by greater pain.
All of this dealt a huge blow to Ling Xiao's mind, but it also forged a new man with a determination as strong as a rock.
At this time, he is no longer the incompetent playboy he once was, but a master of the Tianyuan Realm who has been practicing hard for hundreds of years. He also studies various miscellaneous subjects and has created the second largest force in the Tianyuan Continent and is famous in the world.
The cold-blooded sword.
"I don't think about it anymore. Although I don't know why I can be reborn, but since I can really live again, I will never let the past happen again."
Ling Xiao clenched his fists, rushed out with a lunge, and swung his right fist fiercely.
Broken Jade Fist!
The entry-level martial arts of the Ling family can be practiced both internally and externally. Although the boxing technique is simple, it contains extremely powerful true energy. Most of the three generations of disciples of the Ling family have chosen to practice this boxing technique, but few can practice it to great perfection.
The reason is very simple, this is just an entry-level boxing technique. The martial arts in Tianyuan Continent are divided into nine levels, one to nine, from low to high. Each level is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The Broken Jade Fist is only the lower level of the first level.
, when your cultivation level is enhanced, you can practice stronger boxing techniques. No one will put too much effort into this most basic boxing technique.
The punch was so weak that it could not even move the door curtain seven feet away.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Without looking inside, he could already feel that the meridians all over his body were small and fragile. The punch just now only used the second-level essence of the pulse condensation stage, and his arms were already feeling faint swelling and pain.
If you throw a few punches in a row, you may be disabled before others are hurt.
In my impression, only the second-level cultivation in the Pulse Condensation Stage was forcibly fed by my father with spiritual pills. The foundation of martial arts was extremely poor, which made it impossible to break through various bottlenecks in future cultivation.
With this thought, Ling Xiao mobilized the true energy in his body.
I just felt that there seemed to be a needle-thick True Yuan flowing in my meridians.
Moreover, it can only move around in the arms, and the meridians on the legs are still blocked, so the amount of real energy cannot be reduced by even half a point, no matter how hard it is.
Ling Xiao could only continue to smile bitterly.
My cultivation level is only at the second level of the pulse condensation stage, and all the meridians in my body are not penetrated. This is me at the age of fifteen.
He is a waste who lives in a wealthy family with the best resources, so-so qualifications, but doesn't know how to work hard at all. While hesitating, the deep voice of the old butler came from outside the door again: "Sir, Master Fan and the others are here to urge you again."
Master Fan?
Ling Fan!
Ling Xiao's heart moved, isn't he the son of his fourth uncle's family?
In later generations, after the decline of Nagato's lineage, he did not lack the power of a fox to bully himself.
By the way, there is also Cuixiang Tower!
How could I have forgotten this?
The source of all pain comes from the gambling at Cuixianglou.
Ling Fan and Zhang Yifan set a trap for themselves. As a result, they lost all their money and even their unmarried daughter-in-law. This incident deeply offended the Wang family. I heard that the innocent young lady from the Wang family also escaped into Buddhism because of this.
, and never see the world again.
"Well done, this is asking for death. I was about to go find them, but it saves me some planning." Ling Xiao slapped his thigh and walked out of the room.
The old housekeeper was bent down and was about to walk in when he suddenly saw the young master walking out with a scurrying pace. His whole body was filled with rare confidence and vitality, and a pair of slender eyes exuded an intimidating light.
