Chapter 60: The Mighty Stone
Stepping into the door of the Ruan Mansion again, every member of the Ruan family who returned was inexplicable, there has never been a moment so attached to the arms of the family, everything that happened today is like a world away, "It feels so good to go home!"
Leaving some clansmen to clean up the mess, Ruan Dongtian and others have retreated to recuperate their injuries, of course, Ruan Jingtian's cultivation has been abolished, there is no nourishment of vitality, the effect of recuperation is minimal, to comfort the disabled, to pay tribute to the dead, to repair the damage, there is still a person in charge to sit down, Ruan Jingtian is duty-bound.
In the next few days, the old women and children who were sent out returned to the house one after another, and when they saw their miserable relatives, the old women choked up, hugged each other and cried, and the juniors secretly swore that they would work hard to cultivate, and after their strength increased, they would protect their relatives and protect the family.
After this battle, it can be said that the Ruan family is greatly damaged, but it is gratifying that the cohesion of the entire family seems to have reached a higher level, and each clansman has a stronger sense of belonging to the family.
It has been about ten days since the negotiation turmoil between the Ruan and Yang families, Lin Hao finally came out of the retreat, stretched his waist, the long-lost sunshine, the fresh air, can't help but make people feel comfortable, his injuries have been healed, this is a few days faster than he expected, because in the past few days, he has opened another acupoint, and the power of the blood veins circulating all over his body has become stronger, although the strength has not increased, but the recovery power has increased a lot.
In addition, the purple crystal purified by the black gas absorbed by the spirit bead also quietly submerged into his liver without Lin Hao noticing, if you look closely, you can see that deep in his liver, outlining a trace of small purple lines, it seems to be still slowly squirming, quite strange, Lin Hao has a strange feeling, the flesh and blood printed with purple patterns seem to have life, exuding a trace of desire for purple crystals, which makes Lin Hao also a little stunned, to be honest, with the weirdness of the black gas, and the tall black shadow that seems to be incompatible with this world, in his subconscious, he feels that the black gas must be something evil, but now his body is actually flocking to this "evil" thing, which makes Lin Hao very conflicted, and he feels that his three views have been impacted.
I also have to say that Lin Hao is really a master of the arts, if ordinary people will definitely avoid that black qi, but then Lin Hao is thinking about how to get more black qi to absorb his flesh and blood, and see if there are any further changes, this is like using his body as the rhythm of an experimental sample, do you not care about your body so much? What if it is broken.
Lin Hao didn't think about it so much, didn't he still have that extremely mysterious and huge tsundere bead? Looking at the black gas on his face and the suppression of the spirit beads, I believe that the black gas will not be able to make any waves.
Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to cultivate, after all, I felt the loosening of the realm during the war, and this opportunity was not easy, but my cultivation was too weird, and after practicing all night, the liquid vitality in the dantian increased a lot, but my own cultivation was stunned and did not react at all, or in the early stage of the Xuanyuan Realm, even if I was worried about the attention of others, I didn't dare to operate the devouring supernatural power to the extreme, and the cultivation speed was not a hundred times faster than that of normal people, there were dozens of times, right, this ...... , Lin Hao was depressed and crazy, he was still immersed in the cheating artifact of getting the devouring supernatural power, and his realm would definitely advance by leaps and bounds, but he didn't expect the cold reality to give him a ruthless iron hand, which is really a naked irony.
Forget it, who called the chaotic world to be so demonic, and the path he chose will go on with tears.
Continuing to cultivate normally, the effect is very small, and we can only look forward to what opportunities we have next. Lin Hao sighed, walked out of the room, and walked leisurely in the Ruan Mansion, the entire Ruan Mansion still exuded a thriving atmosphere, and the Ruan family members who were busy were orderly everywhere.
Seeing the elders, Lin Hao greeted politely, and the other party would stop what he was doing and respond with a smile, and some of the witnesses of the war looked even more excited, showing respect and worship in their eyes, which made Lin Hao a little embarrassed, after all, he was his elder, so he couldn't be a little reserved?
Passing by the kitchen, a group of women chattered with their sleeves and chatted about family things while washing clothes, washing clothes was originally done by maids, but where can these women be idle, they enjoy such a lively and fulfilling atmosphere, seeing Lin Hao, his hands on the apron, he pulled Lin Hao to sit in the middle, asked east and west, at first it was normal, and then naturally jumped to the lifelong event, "Hao'er, you are not too young, your parents left early, your lifelong event is wrapped up in our aunts, grandma." β
Seeing Lin Hao's face full of embarrassment, he didn't know what to say for a while, some elderly women hurriedly said, "Hao'er, don't learn from your uncles and grandfathers, they all seem to be shrewd, but they are actually as stupid as a donkey, if we didn't help Zhang Luo, he would still be an old bachelor!" she said that she was even more excited, "Especially the stinky boy of the fourth child, who messed up the blind date we arranged many times, is really stupid to a certain level, so angry that I will beat it once I see it." Lin Hao smiled bitterly, only these seven aunts and eight aunts dare to say this about their grandfathers.
"Hao'er, you tell your aunt, what kind of girl you like, we will help you find it, rest assured, we will never let you suffer. β
The aunts' smiling eyes made Lin Hao's head big for a while, and they casually found a reason, and ran away, looking at Lin Hao's embarrassed appearance, the women were helpless, "This child." β
Lin Hao, who escaped from the "tiger's claws", breathed a sigh of relief and came to the Ruan family's martial arts training ground, the brand-new bluestone slab was completely new, obviously rebuilt, and Lin Hao's fourth uncle Ruan Xiaotian was practicing with the junior of the Ruan family in full swing in the wide square, looking at the fourth uncle's one-armed, Lin Hao still felt a little self-blamed.
There was some commotion among the juniors, and Ruan Xiaotian found Lin Hao, who was standing not far away, his eyes lit up, "What to see, concentrate on practicing boxing." As he spoke, he strode towards Lin Hao, his eyes constantly looking at Lin Hao, "Tut-tut, you kid is really perverted, with such a serious injury, it's only been a few days, and you're actually alive like a nobody." β
"Fourth uncle, why didn't you see Cousin Tianliang and Cousin Linglong?" Lin Hao found that most of the juniors present were younger than him.
"They, in the morning, under the leadership of your eldest uncle and second uncle, I went to the Broken Sky Mountain Range to practice, and I heard that a lot of demon beasts and medicinal herbs have appeared there recently. Saying that, Ruan Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little relieved, "After this incident, these stinky boys finally know that they have worked hard. β
couldn't help but think of Ruan Ling'er's elf and weird girl, and Lin Hao also smiled.
"Xiao Hao, did you see this group of little ghosts?" Ruan Xiaotian nodded at the juniors next to him who were curiously peeking at Lin Hao while practicing boxing, "These stinky boys don't have the hard work of your generation, they are all very squeamish, and they refuse to endure hardships, how about it, Xiao Hao, do you have any intention to show your hands? Give these boys a vaccination." β
Seeing that the fourth uncle hooked shoulders with him, looking informal, Lin Hao wanted to laugh a little, "Okay, the fourth uncle has spoken, and the nephew must arrange a wave ruthlessly." β
"Hahaha......" Ruan Xiaotian patted Lin Hao's shoulder hard, "Among all the juniors, you kid has the most appetite for me." β
Then he led Lin Hao to the center of the martial arts training ground, "Stinky boys, it's okay, you guys are really stupid to get home, you have practiced all morning, and you haven't even learned the most ordinary quenching fist first form." I advise you to give up as soon as possible, go back to your own house to find your own mother, don't learn martial arts anymore, my Ruan family doesn't raise waste. Ruan Xiaotian's words were a little extreme, but he didn't care that it would dampen the fighting spirit of these teenagers and girls, this remark naturally had a stimulating effect, but at the same time, it was also a fact, now the peace of the Ruan family is only temporary, and these little dolls' minds must mature quickly in order to face the next storm.
These young girls are young and vigorous, naturally they can't withstand Ruan Xiaotian's agitation, they all clench their fists, full of disbelief, the frivolous words deeply pierced their immature hearts, when they were sent over by their parents, they were all placed on deep expectations by their parents, and they also took it as an honor to become a strong man to defend the family, and now it has only been a few days of practice, and the instructor wants them to go back to their respective homes, what face do they have to face their disappointed parents.
"Instructor, you say we're stupid, you call us stupid, I admit it, but when you say we're waste, I, Ruan Ziyu, am the first to disagree. A young man with dark skin blushed and said, Lin Hao's eyes were full of appreciation when he was standing aside, "Cousin Tianliang and Cousin Linglong have told us since they were young that diligence can make up for clumsiness, so since we have practiced martial arts, we have been getting up early every day and practicing on time, and the tasks assigned by the instructor every day are meticulously completed, rain or shine, and we haven't pulled down for a day, why should the instructor deny our efforts just because we are stupid." Some of the teenagers nodded, and a few girls even felt a little aggrieved, with tears in their eyes.
"This stinky boy, he can't cultivate, and he talks in one set. Ruan Xiaotian secretly slandered. Before he could speak, "Do you think this is considered hard work? In my opinion, your so-called diligence is a joke, not to mention the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there is a person who is the same age as you in Yancheng and works thousands of times harder than you." β
"I don't believe it. "I don't believe it either. In their simple minds, those who are more talented than them will not understand the hard work of these people with dull qualifications.
The talent is not good, the effort is not enough, and there is actually a kind of arrogance. This kind of sprout must be extinguished, Lin Hao took out a one-person-tall slightly cyan rock with a smooth surface from the storage ring.
Seeing the surrounding teenagers and girls staring at the rock beside Lin Hao, with a look of doubt in their eyes, Lin Hao left a deep fist mark on the bluestone with a random punch, "My requirements are not high, as long as any of you can leave a mark on this rock, I will admit that you have indeed worked hard, and ......" Saying that, a full spirit fruit appeared on his hand, exuding an attractive fragrance, although the juniors said that they were precocious, they were still children, smelling the fruity fragrance of the air, the corners of the boy's mouth were drooling, and the girl was more reserved, but she also kept swallowing saliva, "It looks delicious." β
"Moreover, this one can temper the physique and save a month of cultivation time. Give it to that person. β
Lin Hao's reward made their eyes brighten, and the undisguised eagerness in their eyes was terrifying, "Big brother, do you mean it really?" At this time, they had already thrown out of the clouds what kind of agitation and disobedience.
"Hmph, foodie, no interest. A teenager looked at his partner next to him with disdain, looking disdainful.
"Hmph, then what kind of saliva do you have, don't eat it if you have the ability!" the companion retorted.
"Isn't it just an ordinary stone?" the disdainful boy seemed to be irritated, "I'll try!"
Saying that, he took the lead, and came to the bluestone is punch, "poof", the bluestone does not move at all, not to mention leaving any marks, and the fist marks left by Lin Hao before have also disappeared, and this bluestone actually has the function of automatic recovery.
"No, no, no, this doesn't count, I haven't used all my strength just now!" the young man argued, Lin Hao didn't stop it, and still watched with a smile.
At this time, he began to take it seriously, recalling in his mind the skills taught by the instructor on how to move strength, lifting his hips and abdomen, lowering his center of gravity, holding his breath, as if he was going to use up his strength to feed, "Poof!"
The other juniors showed disdain, not because he had tried so hard and still didn't leave a mark on the bluestone, but because he used too much force, and a peculiar smell of gas came out of the back door.
"This ......" The young man's face was flushed, and he was ashamed to find a crack in the ground to get into, but he didn't leave, just walked to his partner with his head down. For a while, the companions around him turned their heads one after another, not because they were afraid of hurting his self-esteem, but because they didn't want him to see his embarrassed appearance because of his laughter.
After this episode, the interest of the juniors has not diminished but increased, and they have been gearing up and high-spirited, but after a circle, no one can leave a mark on the bluestone, and they are suddenly a little disappointed.
"How's it going? Stinky boys, you don't believe you if you don't work hard enough, are you sober now? I'm not afraid to hit you, I and your uncles left a mark on this bluestone when you were your age, and I didn't blow it, and my mark was the deepest. So, if you want to become a strong man like me and a few of your uncles, guarding the family, you little dolls who can't even leave a trace, are you still far away?"
Listening to the fourth uncle's bragging that he didn't make a draft, Lin Hao rolled his eyes in his heart, but it was not easy to pierce it, because this group of juniors seemed to have really been bluffed by the fourth uncle, and they all showed guilt, put away their arrogance, and admitted their mistakes to the fourth uncle.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh. Ruan Xiaotian looks like a teachable child.
Seeing that the effect had also been achieved, Lin Hao said to the fourth uncle and retired. Today is a very meaningful day for these juniors, not only their minds have been transformed, but they also know a big brother with a unique temperament.
"Instructor, who's that big brother?" asked some of the girls.
"Lin Hao, your cousin, remember this name, he will be the target of your life. Ruan Xiaotian said meaningfully.
Naturally, it was difficult for them to understand the meaning of this sentence, but they only knew that after they went back, they learned some about the deeds of this big brother from their parents, and they admired it.
Speaking of Lin Hao's side, he didn't go far when he saw Ruan Xiaotian running over, "Xiao Hao, the fourth uncle has something to tell you." "I seem a little embarrassed.
Lin Hao's heart sank, he was already a little guilty about the fourth uncle's broken arm, this kind of demeanor, the fourth uncle must have something to ask for himself, no matter what he will do, he will try his best to complete it, "What do you say, fourth uncle?"
Ruan Xiaotian inked for a long time and finally spit out a few words, "Look at that spirit fruit...... Isn't it ......" It's not that he's greedy for the effect of the spirit fruit, he just wants to taste the taste of the spirit fruit.
Lin Hao was so angry, he was very speechless in his heart, "Why did you end up with such a useless uncle, take it and take it." With a look of disgust, he took out a bunch of the same fruit from the storage ring and stuffed it to Ruan Xiaotian, which Lin Hao found in the core area of the Broken Sky Mountain Range, and picked it casually, and originally wanted to give it to Ruan Jingtian, forget it, it was all given to the fourth uncle.
Ruan Xiaotian hugged a bunch of fruits with a satisfied face, "Hehe, when I go back, I will open my daughter who has been hiding for many years, and have a good drink." β
Lin Hao, who had walked around, finally went to his grandfather, Ruan Jingtian was dealing with affairs in the study at this time, his body was a little rickety, although the majesty of the old master was still there, but he had lost his cultivation and aged a lot in Lin Hao's eyes.
Through the old man, I learned about the recent situation in Yancheng, and the Yang family who returned to Yancheng was surprisingly low-key, except for the Yang family who really withdrew the ore vein, there was no other action, "I really want to see what Yang Li's father and son will look like when they learn that Yang Xiao and Yang Jie and the Yang family in ambush have fallen", Ruan Jingtian sighed. Of course, the compensation that Yang Li said that day has not been fulfilled so far, Ruan Jingtian did not care about the Yang family's rebellion, and he just said it casually at that time, and he didn't expect the Yang family to cash it out, and even, if Lin Hao hadn't proposed it, he didn't think about taking back the half of the Yang family's vein, and then he thought about it, it was already with the Yang family's endless death, what does it have to do with being ruthless?
The spring night was slightly cool, the bright light emitted by the stars in the sky was hazy, Ruan Xiaotian looked extremely miserable at this time, "Damn" I don't know which stinky boy reported to the old man, said that he was greedy for Hao'er spirit fruit, and learned the effect of the spirit fruit, the old man directly kicked open the door of his residence, and dragged it out to be beaten badly. While beating and scolding the "loser", the scene is extremely realistic. "Don't let me catch that snitch, or I'll let you know why the flowers are so red. β
The depressed Ruan Xiaotian came out to breathe, and somehow came to the martial arts training ground, looking at the extra bluestone in the center of the playground, he immediately walked in curiously and looked at it, the child's heart was leisurely, and he punched the bluestone, huh? Even if he didn't go all out just now, he had eighty percent, why didn't he even make a move, as soon as the thought of disobedience sprung up, Ruan Xiaotian followed the stone to compete, but, he hammered hard for half an hour, and finally kicked with his feet and bit with his teeth, this stone was stunned for nothing, but Ruan Xiaotian was tired and half dead, "What kind of ghost stone is this!"
Today he was beaten by Lao Tzu and bullied by an ordinary stone, today is really the darkest day in his Ruan Xiaotian's life!
If Lin Hao heard this, he could only smile bitterly, this stone was moved out of the ruins of the Wu clan, listening to Wu Fei, it seems that the Wu clan specially tested the strength of the juniors, and can judge its realm according to the breath of the shooter, adjust its own hardness, as long as its own strength exceeds the limit that this realm can reach, it can leave a mark on it, and it can also roughly judge the level of strength according to the depth of the traces, this stone is very magical, but at that time, the Wu clan was just a common thing, maybe when Lin Hao reached a certain realm, he could easily produce countless such small devicesγ
It's just that this piece of bluestone has since settled in the Ruan family, witnessing the historical changes of the Ruan family for many years, and since that day, he has been named "Haoshi" It is said that in honor of a great ancestor, it was he who brought this bluestone back to the Ruan family, so that this bluestone not only became a benchmark to test the efforts of the younger generation, but also became a belief in the hearts of the Ruan family people who desire to become stronger, and every Ruan family member who can leave traces on it can not only be rewarded by the successive generations of family heads, but also engrave their names on the pedestal specially made by the Ruan family to carry the bluestone, which is a supreme honor for them, it is said, Every clansman who can leave his name on the bluestone has become a strong man on the mainland, which makes this bluestone a legendary veil.
Lin Hao didn't know that his casual actions would have such a huge impact on the future, I have to say that this is the charm of spiritual inheritance.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
Lin Hao returned to his residence, and late at night, "Xiao Hao, are you ready?" Xuan Lao's figure appeared.
"Hmm!" Lin Hao's eyes were firm.
