However, Ling Xiao himself still felt nothing and thought to himself: "What do you think should be the sentence for a person like me? A thousand sticks are not enough. No matter what, I have merit. If it is true,
I can't bear the blows of a thousand sticks with my small frame. Isn't it too cruel to beat them to death?"
When Ling Xiao said this, he approached Ling Shouzhi intentionally or unintentionally, and asked in an innocent tone of discussion.
Ling Shouzhi wanted to say that he was not cruel. I don't mind executing it myself. If I don't beat you to death, I will be your mother's son. But the existence of the public account with 400,000 taels of silver made the other brothers ready to take action. They would never support him. Instead, they wanted to please Ling.
Keeping his word. Ling Xiao took advantage of the loopholes in the clan rules again, leaving him with no chance of being punished, but there was nothing he could do.
Seeing Ling Shouzhi's distorted face, Ling Xiao felt refreshed all over, touched his chin, and frowned: "I read a book a few days ago, and it said that heaven is going to assign a great responsibility to this person, and his will will be tortured.
, hungry for their skin... I can’t remember clearly later. Anyway, it means to endure hardship, so I decided to apply for the family criminal law. In order to make up for the ridiculous things I did in the past, let me go to the water prison. Ten days? Not enough, just one
How is the moon?"
The ninth child of the Ling family, who was deeply hidden in the crowd, burst into tears.
This guy is really out of his mind, and he is so determined. The water prison is drawn from the underground cold spring, which is bone-chilling cold. Not to mention Ling Xiao, a loser, even if he reaches the seventh level of the Pulse Condensation Stage at this time,
Not comfortable.
A month? Not to mention starving his body and skin, it would be a miracle to be alive.
"Are you sure?" Ling Shouzhi felt that he was about to speak at this time.
"Very sure!" Ling Xiao nodded vigorously.
"Lao Wu, do you see?" Ling Shouzhi felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't see anything wrong with this matter.
"You don't have to ask my father, I have the final say on this matter." Ling Xiao turned around and winked at his father. Ling Shouxin obeyed his son's every word. Although he was anxious, he nodded bravely.
"In this case, I can't stop you." Ling Shouzhi finally showed a shy smile and said: "Although I have never heard of such a request... But since you beg like this, as an elder, I can't stop you from doing good. A
Just one month, starting tomorrow."
Ling Xiao suddenly interrupted: "No, I will go to the water prison tonight."
Ling Shouzhi's smile almost froze on his face, and he thought to himself that since you are seeking death, I can't stop you. He waved his hand and said, "Then it's up to you."
The family meeting ended in nothingness.
Back home, Ling Shouxin stamped his feet anxiously. Before he could speak, Ling Xiao lay in his ear and whispered: "Don't worry, I did it on purpose. When I was sleeping a few days ago, there was an old man with a white beard.
Suddenly appeared at the bedside. He said that I had strange bones and a spiritual light erupted from the Tianling Cap. He insisted on accepting me as his apprentice. I was in a daze at the time and did not agree. The old man left this message in my mind before leaving.
The next secret book.”
"Spiritual thoughts?" Ling Shouxin was shocked. The person who could imprint his mind with divine thoughts was not an ordinary person. He was a legendary Tianyuan realm master!
"Ah? I'm not sure. Anyway, my mind has been in a mess these past few days. The old man asked me not to tell others, but dad, you are not someone else. Hehe, the secret book seems to be called Ice Palm. It needs to be practiced in the cold spring to be effective.
, Otherwise, why would I take the initiative to go to the water prison?"
Ling Xiao casually said a few hundred words of formula.
Ling Shouxin only heard the beginning and knew that this was a genuine secret book, far superior to the techniques used by the Ling family to build the foundation. He quickly reached out and covered Ling Xiao's mouth and said: "Keep your voice down, since that senior has told you,
Just practice it by yourself. At your age, it’s not convenient to change the exercises. Senior asked you not to tell others, so don’t tell me, dad. This is a great opportunity, don’t miss it. Practice hard, and maybe Senior
This is testing you."
After looking around for a few times, Ling Shouxin carefully took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and said: "Here are thirty Qi-solidifying pills. I bought them with great difficulty. You can take them and use them in the water prison. Don't waste this good thing.
, it’s five hundred taels of silver each. If you hadn’t won a lot of money, even I wouldn’t be able to bear to eat it myself.”
After thinking about it, he wanted to take out the spiritual sand again, but Ling Xiao strongly refused, and finally persuaded his father.
"With my current level of cultivation, the Qi-Consolidating Pill is just right, but the Spiritual Sand is too powerful. Using too much is not good. But you, put aside family matters this month, practice hard, and strive to enter the eighth level of the Pulse Condensation Stage.
, so that grandpa won’t always scold you for being useless. Let’s also show other uncles that my dad is not a vegetarian either.”
His son's instructions made Ling Shou feel sour in his confidence and he nodded repeatedly.
When he saw Ling Xiao walking out of the courtyard alone, Ling Shouxin couldn't help but burst into tears.
The Ling family has three forbidden areas.
Water prison, ancestral graves, and martial arts buildings.
The water prison is specially used to punish family members and enemies. The underground cold spring imported into it contains a strange cold air that even those below the Earth Yuan realm can hardly resist.
In the ancestral tomb, the heads of the Ling family from past generations are enshrined, and the things buried with them are priceless.
As the name suggests, the martial arts building displays all the martial arts skills of the Ling family. In addition to the most elementary martial arts skills such as Broken Jade Fist, there are hundreds of more advanced and even Xuan-level martial arts skills.
These three forbidden areas are difficult for even the descendants of the Ling family to approach.
Back then, the strange fragment that Ling Xiao found in the ruins was vaguely related to the forbidden area. But at that time, the entire Ling family was reduced to ruins, and he was not sure where the fragment was. Now he only has a little bit of exploration to find it.
.
Among the three forbidden areas, the water prison is the easiest to enter.
And what he said about the Ice Palm was indeed true, and he was not deceiving his father. But it was a martial skill he practiced in Qingyun Sect. It was a third-level martial skill that could only be practiced after the Earth Yuan Realm. At this time, he was only in the second stage of the Pulse Condensation Stage.
At this level, you are not qualified to practice at all.
Entering the water prison to practice was to kill two birds with one stone, and it was also the first plan he made after his rebirth.
The key to the water prison is in the hands of Ling Shouzhi, and only he can open it. When the two met, there was nothing much to say.
Watching Ling Xiao gradually walk into the water prison, Ling Shouzhi's face gradually became gloomy. In the past few days, Ling Xiao's changes were beyond his expectation. After detailed questioning, Ling Shouzhi vaguely felt that Ling Xiao had been poisoning his family since gambling in the brothel.
Got a big condom.
Such methods, if you look at them carefully, simply give Ling Shouzhi a creepy feeling. If Ling Xiao had behaved like this since he was a child, how could the other nine sons of the Ling family dare to peek into the position of the head of the family?
"Maybe it's a coincidence..."
The sound of surging water came to his ears. Ling Shouzhi still couldn't believe that this waste could become so terrifying. But if he was a smart person, how could he seek death and go to the water prison?
"Father, our little brother has suffered such humiliation, we can't just spare him."
"Yes, otherwise what will people from other branches think of us in the future?"
"Find an opportunity to destroy this kid Ling Xiao."
"He also has a sharp tongue. He is only at the beginning of the second level of the pulse condensation stage. I can kill him with one hand."
"That's enough!" The whispers coming from his sons made Ling Shouzhi couldn't help but roar in a low voice: "Boss, tell me, what should we do?"
A tall and thin girl walked out quietly. Her face looked quite delicate, her waist was slender, especially her long legs, which were very tempting. But her eyes were extremely cold and she looked extremely cold. It was Ling Shouzhi.
daughter, Ling Boyun, the tenth among the third-generation descendants of the Ling family.
Ling Boyun stood there quietly until Ling Shouzhi called his name, then walked out and said indifferently: "What the fourth brother said just now is right, so what if that kid Ling Xiao is enlightened? What is the status of the Ling family in Black Rock City?
, was achieved with fists, and the status of the Ling family was also achieved with fists. The head of the family relied on a blue steel sword to defeat everyone before he secured his position. That person, Fifth Uncle, hehe, I don’t need to tell you.
You don’t have confidence in him either, otherwise you wouldn’t fight so fiercely. If it weren’t for the face of the master, you would have driven him down long ago.”
After a pause, he continued: "We, the younger ones, can't control the affairs of your generation. Let's talk about our younger generation. In terms of strength at this stage, Ling Ran, Ling Ling and Ling Buwei are naturally the strongest.
, are all at the fifth level of the Pulse Condensation stage. But they are all provided by the elixir from home, so in terms of qualifications and hard work, I am not bad either."
"Now that Father, you can get the spiritual sand, I am confident that I will immediately hit the fourth-level bottleneck and surpass them within a year. By then, the position of the head of the family will not be within my grasp. Why are you so concerned about a waste now? Even if Ling Xiao wakes up now.
, it’s too late, his qualifications are mediocre, his meridians are completely destroyed, and he will be at the fourth or fifth level of the pulse condensation stage until he dies in this life.”
Ling Shouzhi nodded repeatedly, and the anxiety of the past few days finally eased. With a daughter like Ling Boyun, Ling Shouzhi felt that he had a successor, and felt a little regretful why she was not his son.
So he nodded slightly and said: "What the boss said is very good. You guys should also observe more and think more. If you can only exercise your body all day long, then you are just a martial artist. When you are the head of a family, you must not only have strong fists, but also have a good mind.
"
"That's natural, but with my father and big brother, we just have to work hard. You make the decision anyway."
"Yes. Besides, it's hard work for the body. It's better than Brother Fan, right?"
"Shh, don't talk about Brother Fan. Dad will be unhappy if he hears this."
Several sons chattered, and Ling Shouzhi listened and sighed slightly. But having only one eldest son would be enough. If they were all as smart as the eldest son, he would have another headache. The other sons would just focus on cultivation, which would be a good thing.
Ling Shouzhi waved his hand to stop his sons' discussion, and said: "Listen up, in two months there will be an annual family competition. This time, you will be rewarded with martial arts and mental skills based on your ranking. Give them all to me.
Practice hard. This opportunity is related to your development in this life. At least you must get me a first-grade mid-level, otherwise you will get out of the Ling family. Especially Bo Yun, I hope you can get the top three, so that
Having the opportunity to choose second-grade martial arts will be of great benefit to you throughout your life."
Every descendant of the Ling family can choose to practice a first-level martial arts skill. For example, Ling Xiao chose Broken Jade Fist. If they want to learn it again in the future, they have to use their family points to exchange for it at the martial arts building. But when they are old enough
After the age of fourteen, a family competition will be arranged every year. The winner can go to the martial arts building to give priority to choose martial arts skills without consuming contribution points.
This competition inspired every Ling family member to practice martial arts hard. Especially Ling Boyun, who ranked among the top ten, was determined to win.
At this moment, not only Ling Shouzhi's family, but all branches of the Ling family are actively preparing for war.
