took Shi Yao and slowly walked into the familiar mansion, but Zhou Ling's mood became extremely heavy, and he always felt that something unexpected had happened in his heart.

I haven't returned for more than a year, and my family is even more cold. Thinking that his father and mother had become vicissitudes of life and gradually aged because of the circumstances of the past few years, and because he was stared at by the Zeng family, Zhou Ling felt very guilty.

"Dad, I'm back!"

When he was about to step into the house, Zhou Ling called loudly outside the door, looking forward to the smiling faces of his familiar relatives.

In the middle of the sound, Zhou Zhen slowly appeared at the door, his face was still familiar, but there was more gray hair on his head. The moment he saw Zhou Ling and Shi Yao, the muscles on Zhou Zhen's face trembled slightly.

"Dad, how did you become like this!" Zhou Ling stepped forward quickly and hugged Zhou Zhen.

In Zhou Ling's impression, although Zhou Zhen failed to attack the Martial King back then, and his strength gradually regressed, his heart of not admitting defeat was always strong, and he was not afraid at all even if he faced the Zeng family every time, but he didn't expect to see it like this for a year.

Shi Yao stood aside and quietly wiped her tears, pressed her lips with her hand to prevent crying.

"Dad, where is my mother?" Zhou Ling asked.

"Your mother, she's gone!" Zhou Zhen finally couldn't help choking.

It was as if a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in Zhou Ling's inner world, and his body was suddenly so weak that he was about to sit in place, Shi Yao hurriedly supported him.

"You've always known that, right?"

Zhou Ling asked her with red eyes.

Shi Yao was silent, in fact, Xiao Qin had passed away before she participated in the martial arts test, Zhou Zhen was afraid of affecting Zhou Ling's martial arts competition, and asked Shi Yao not to say it, she could only hold back and not tell Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling couldn't hold back any longer, and tears poured out silently from the corners of his eyes. thought that on this continent, with the company of his parents, he could recover the loss he had lost, but he never expected to go out for a year of training, and he would say goodbye to his mother forever.

"Ling'er, it's only to blame that I didn't take good care of your mother, so that she became ill from hard work, working day and night, her already weak body and the Zeng family have been looking for trouble countless times openly and secretly, she is very worried about your safety, one day this summer I got a very serious asthma, I took a lot of medicine and didn't get better, and finally left me. ”

Zhou Zhen finished speaking with a painful look on his face, his eyes full of sadness and loneliness. Thirty years, Xiao Qin has accompanied him, and now he can only be alone, secretly sad.

On the mountain behind Zhou's house, the stream is murmuring, the sad wind is wailing, and there is a new mound on the edge of the dense bamboo forest.

A young man knelt in front of the grave and was silent, only tears from the corners of his eyes quietly flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably.

Zhou Zhen and Shi Yao wanted to accompany him, but they were both persuaded by him to go home, only the red giant sword was stuck upside down, accompanied by whimpering in the wind.

Zhou Ling remembered that since he was a child, due to his father's strictness, he and Zhou Zhen rarely spoke to each other, only relying on his mother unusually, and he told her about his joy and anger, but he never thought that after a year of traveling, he would be separated by yin and yang.

"Alas, boy, don't be too sad, your mother's death was caused by a sickness of labor, and because my heart is thinking of you, I think her soul may not have left the body, and under some conditions there may be a chance to be reborn!"

Brother Qing comforted Zhou Ling when he saw him like this.

"What? Are you saying that my mother is still alive?"

Brother Qing's words shocked Zhou Ling's heart.

"If your mother's soul is still alive, it is not impossible to find a suitable body for her in the future!"

"My mother has been dead for half a year, where can I find her soul!" Zhou Ling, who was originally full of hope, said gloomily.

"I have lived for tens of thousands of years, and I am used to seeing too many lives and deaths, this universe continent is endless, only life is the most magical. People are born with souls, and only if the soul is not extinguished, it can be reborn!" Brother Qing talked eloquently, so that Zhou Ling, who came from sorrow, could hear it in a fog.

"I just want to know how to collect the soul of the mother!"

"You have already mastered the soul power, so use your heart to sense this tomb!"

Zhou Ling didn't know where the spirit came from when he heard this, so he immediately closed his eyes and concentrated on the spirit to guide the soul power to slowly enter the tomb.

In the dark and cold tomb, Zhou Ling's soul power trembled with his mind and slowly probed in, he magnified his soul power to the extreme, unwilling to see the familiar body that made him miss the most.

"Well, my mother's body is still so well preserved?"

Zhou Ling was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that Xiao Qin's body was still intact.

The soul power was confirmed again, and Zhou Ling was so excited that he shed tears! In addition to being cold, his mother was as kind as before.

Trying his best to control his emotions, Zhou Ling continued to carefully perceive the fluctuations of his mother's soul.

After a long time, Zhou Ling's brows were tightly locked, and he never felt a clue, and his heart retreated into coldness again.

Due to the long-term use of soul power, Zhou Ling's mind was exhausted to the extreme, he involuntarily sat on the ground, looking up at the endless sky, he felt that he was so small.

"Why, I can't even protect my mother, I can't even find a trace of her soul!"

Zhou Ling suddenly roared hysterically, his hands pounded the ground hard, blood spilled between his fingernails, and the bloodshot in his eyes could be clearly seen.

"Boy, don't be sad! no one in this world will ever sympathize with your pity, and only when you are strong enough to rise above the universe can you have the strength to control your own destiny and that of others. ”

Brother Qing's illusory figure floated in the air, looking at the crazy Zhou Ling with a sigh.

"But when will I get there? I can't wait!"

Zhou Ling asked in a hoarse voice with a crying voice.

"If you want to hurry, you don't have to rush! Your mother's body is still so well preserved, I think it should be the reason for this bamboo woodland, bamboo can be fresh and preserved, these bamboos have survived for thousands of years, they have long been intertwined and have abundant pure qi, plus I guess that your father may have given her some pills, so it can preserve the body from decay under the comprehensive effect!"

"But my mother has no soul!"

After listening to Brother Qing's explanation and recalling seeing his mother's face in the grave, Zhou Ling felt disappointed and sad, giving him hope but not finding hope.

"Perhaps, one day, you will revive your mother!" said Brother Qing.

Zhou Ling recognized the reality clearly and knew that it was not easy to resurrect a person who had died, if it weren't for being with Brother Qing, an old antique who had lived for tens of thousands of years, others would only think it was a fool's dream.

He decided to bury his mother here, no matter how far he had traveled, he would eventually return, and when he returned, he vowed to wake her up.

"Mother, don't wait for me to come back!"

Zhou Ling respectfully and heavily knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed, and resolutely chose to say goodbye. Because he knows that he has no time to grieve, he can only move forward, just to become a strong man who stands up to the sky.

Seeing that the five-day holiday was coming in a blink of an eye, Zhou Ling had to prepare to leave.

Zhou Zhen already knew the news that Zhou Ling won the championship of the martial arts test, and almost all the Liang Dynasty spread it, and he was so excited that he burst into tears, and Zhou Ling let him see the hope of the Zhou family's future.

"Don't worry, I'll be at home guarding your mother!"

Although his heart was full of reluctance, he knew that Zhou Ling had a broader world to explore, and he couldn't restrain Zhou Ling's dream of flying with wings.

"But Zeng Yuecheng ...... him"

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to touch me, don't forget that your father used to be a quasi-martial king! Zhou Zhen smiled reluctantly with a sallow face.

"Dad, please forgive the child for being unfilial!

Zhou Ling was a little afraid to look at his father's vicissitudes of life.

"Brother, hurry up! you should be careful outside, Shi Yao is waiting for you to come back!"

Shi Yao whispered a little silently. She actually wanted to go with Zhou Ling and go to the martial arts academy to study and cultivate together, but she wanted to help Zhou Ling take care of her father more, so she chose to give up this opportunity on her own initiative.

"Thank you for your hard work, I will try my best to fight with Tutor Binglan to retain your admission qualifications! Take care of your father and take care of yourself at the same time!" Zhou Ling said by gently touching her nose with his hand.

"Hmm!" Shi Yao nodded obediently.

Zhou Ling finally stopped staying, endured the sourness on the tip of his nose and the corners of his eyes, turned around and ran forward.
