"Woke up?"

When Ling Xiao opened his eyes again, he saw his elderly grandfather. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He was gray-haired, emaciated, and his face was like a withered face.

"Alas, why do you bother, just take a soft one! Come, drink the medicine!"

The old man sighed and brought the bitter herbal soup.

From his grandfather's mouth, Ling Xiao heard the concern and helplessness.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's not the first time, anyway, I'm not convinced. ”

Ling Xiao said with a smile: "When I break through the Martial Vein Dual, I'll go find that Ling Chong to settle accounts!"

"You kid. ”

The old man sighed, although Ling Xiao was the child he picked up, he had always looked at it as his own grandson.

Seeing Ling Xiao injured, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Ling Xiao took the herbal soup that had been dried and drank it in one go, with a smile on his face.

In fact, he refused to give in, not only because of his stubbornness, but also because of another reason.

That is, since he cultivated that broken exercise, his body's recovery speed has been very fast.

I was knocked unconscious several times before like today, but I woke up in less than half an hour, and my body recovered.

"The Ling family sent someone over just now. ”

The old man seemed to be a little hesitant when he said this.

"Grandpa, if you have anything to say, what else can I not accept?"

The old man looked at Ling Xiao, and then sighed and said, "They asked you to prepare to go through the formalities of leaving the Ling family." ”

"Leaving the Ling family, why?" Ling Xiao exclaimed.

Only by entering the Ling family can he learn better martial arts techniques and be able to get ahead, if he leaves the Ling family, he really doesn't know when his fate will change.

"They said that there is still half a month before the year-end competition, and this time, all the outer disciples who have not reached the double level of martial arts are not eligible to participate, and they will be driven out of the Ling family. ”

Speaking of this, the old man sighed again and said, "I heard that the Ling family was robbed of some resources by other families, and they can't afford to support so many people anymore, so they plan to streamline their disciples, and the original regulations have become more harsh." ”

"How so?"

Ling Xiao was also a little stunned, in a month, he was still confident of breaking through, but in half a month, this was too urgent.

But the blow goes far beyond that.

The old man hasn't finished his words yet.

"Also, even if you break through to the Martial Vein Triple within this half a month, you will only temporarily retain the qualifications of the outer disciples, before the age of fourteen, if you can't reach the Martial Vein Triple Sect, the outer disciples must all become servants of the Ling family, otherwise the martial arts will be abolished and the Ling family will be driven out. ”

"That's too much, isn't it?"

Ling Xiao understands very well that he is thirteen years old this year, and he will be fourteen after the New Year, how can he reach the triple level of martial arts.

If he becomes a servant, it means that his grandfather will not be qualified to continue to live in the Ling family, so how can he stay here with peace of mind?

This is no longer a matter of face, it is completely a matter of life and death.

What's more, when he was selected by the Ling family, the beggar brothers who used to beg for food together were very envious.

If he left the Ling family like this, then what face would he have to return to the beggar gang?

"Yes, people are big families, so naturally they have their own rules, and we are just outsiders after all. ”

The old man suddenly smiled and said: "Forget it, it's really not good, old man, I'll continue to go back to beg for food, it's okay, I can't delay your future because of me." ”

"No!"

Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "Grandpa, even if there is the slightest possibility, I will not give up, I will work harder than before, and strive to reach the Martial Vein Triple Realm before the age of fourteen! ”

He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands tightly.

Fight!

"Child, you are working hard enough now, if you work harder, you can't break through the realm, and your body will collapse. ”

The old man sighed and said: "We still have to recognize the reality, it is almost impossible to break through to the double level of martial arts in half a month, so let's make plans early." ”

Ling Xiao felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.

Yes, I haven't been able to break through in a year, so why can I break through in half a month.

His heart kept sinking, and the thing he was most afraid of was that no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.

If it's a month, it's fine, then at least three or four percent sure.

But for half a month, although he didn't want to admit it, the fact was that unless he encountered a miracle, it would never be possible.

"Child, don't be too sad, let's just be safe, grandpa doesn't want you to be good, as long as you are good, it's better than anything!"

The old man's idea was very simple, he didn't want Ling Xiao to carry too heavy a burden of thought.

"If you're worried about the beggars laughing at you, don't worry, they're all miserable people, they won't laugh at you, if you succeed, they will be happy, and if you fail, they will accept you. ”

To be a mere beggar again?

"No!"

Ling Xiao shook his head firmly and said, "Grandpa, have you forgotten how we were bullied on the streets before?"

"Have you forgotten how dogs were beaten to death?"

"Have you forgotten that those vicious people actually used the food of the rat medicine to us?"

"That time, more than 100 brothers died!"

"But we can't resist, that person is protected by a warrior, we went to a few people, and all of them broke their legs!"

"Do you want us to continue to live like this? I am not convinced! I am no worse than anyone else! I believe that there is no end to the world!"

Ling Xiao actually didn't have much ambition, he studied martial arts and became a martial artist, just to live a better life and avenge his dead brothers!

The old man was already in tears, because he knew that what Ling Xiao said was right.

All this is true, if Ling Xiao can't become a martial artist, all tragedies will continue to happen.

"Alas, I didn't plan to give you the second half of this book, mainly because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to control it, and now I can't take care of it so much, old man, I'm really persuaded by you. ”

The old man took out a book from his underwear, no, it should be a torn book to be exact.

"Isn't this another part of the previous fragment?" Ling Xiao asked.

"That's right, in fact, when Grandpa picked up the book, it was complete, but there is such a sentence in the book, read it yourself. ”

The old man turned to the page that connected to the first half.

"If you don't have the determination of a rock, strength is the driving force, don't cultivate the content after this page, otherwise you will definitely die!"

This is a line written in blood on the page.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I have determination and motivation, nothing will happen!"

Ling Xiao excitedly took the second half of the book to his room, spliced the first half together, and then read it as a whole from beginning to end.

"What is this!"

In the midst of the exclamation, a golden ray actually flew out of the page of the book and shot directly into his body.

He was startled, but he didn't notice anything unusual about his body, and just as he let his guard down, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was a painting.

The content of the painting is very complex, but in general it should be a landscape painting, with mountains, water, and buildings, as if there is no end in sight.

The painting was covered with clouds and mist, and I couldn't see everything clearly, but I could only see one corner of it, which was a village, with people and animals, and it looked very peaceful.
