Chapter 5: The Old Man (1)
Ming Ling's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he immediately looked around.
"Who's talking?"
Ming Ling only felt a little strange at the moment, and Ming Ling didn't see anyone else around him.
"Is it a prank?"
Ming Ling said to himself that he was often mischievoked in the academy and was often used as a laughing stock by his classmates.
"Xiao Lingming, it's time for you to wake up!"
The voice entered Mingling's ears again, and it was very majestic, and it didn't sound like the people who had rectified him.
"Who the hell is it? Get out. Ming Ling said impatiently.
"Could it be those senior students that Liu Dong is attached to?
This was Mingling's first reaction.
"Close your eyes, hold your breath and concentrate, hold Yuan Shouyi, and you can see me!"
The voice came again, and Ming Ling felt more and more surprised, what the voice conveyed was the prelude to the transition of the Qi Refiner rank.
However, under the influence of curiosity, Ming Ling did so.
Closing his eyes, Ming Ling slowly suppressed his breath, and at this moment he could clearly feel the movement around him.
Suddenly, Ming Ling's eyebrows furrowed, and he felt a sharp throbbing in his body, and he was following this throbbing, looking for the source of the throbbing.
After about five breaths, Ming Ling's complexion became calm, and he seemed to have a feeling of enjoyment.
It was quiet around him, and he felt that there were several warm currents around his body, which were completely different from Xiaoye's, this warm current was very strong and strong, as if he was in a mysterious space.
"You can open your eyes, Xiao Lingming!"
The voice was like a fallen leaf, floating to Li Mingling's ears, facing the three words "Xiao Lingming", Li Mingling could hear that this was a personal name, but the most unpredictable thing was why this name felt so familiar, as if he was calling himself.
He opened his eyes, and he was greeted by a purple light, his eyes shimmering with a thick purple color under the purple light.
Ming Ling is like a space here, but there is an endless abyss of vastness, purple qi curls in the space, Ming Ling looked around vigilantly, his expression was a little surprised.
Didn't I just sit on a bench under the big locust tree?
Where is this?
This was the voice of Ming Ling's heart, and everything in front of him was so strange to him.
"Lingming, you're here!" the gruff voice came again.
Hearing the sound, Ming Ling's eyes stared fiercely ahead, that was the source of the sound.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he saw that the purple mist there, as if it had been absorbed by something, slowly faded, and a slender figure slowly emerged in Ming Ling's eyes, turning from virtual to real.
The purple mist completely dissipated, and what greeted Ming Ling's eyes was an old man with white beard, the old man was wearing a gray robe, his face was red, and there was no wrinkle, this was a real crane hair and childish face.
I saw that the old man stroked his snow-white beard and slowly paced towards Li Mingling, his steps were very vigorous, and every rise and fall of his feet seemed to exude unfathomable power.
Seeing the appearance of this old man, he immediately frowned, he couldn't see the old man's cultivation, let alone the old man's behavior, but in a few breaths, he had already appeared in front of him, which made him extremely surprised.
He didn't know if the old man in front of him was hostile, but the only thing he knew was that the difference in strength between him and the old man was not a little bit, and if the old man was hostile, he would naturally not have any place to parry.
Subconsciously taking a few steps back, Ming Ling took a few deep breaths and emboldened himself, "May I ask who you are?"
Ming Ling said tentatively with a nervous expression, and the corners of his twitching mouth revealed fear for the old man in front of him.
The corners of his mouth rose, and the old man showed a very friendly smile, "Lingming, don't be afraid, this is your heart's place, as for who I am, I will know in a while!"
Lingming? Is it Xiao Lingming again? Who does the old man's name refer to? And where is the place of his heart? There is still such a space in my body? Isn't this old man fooling me?
Facing the old man's answer, Li Mingling questioned with a face: "My name is Li Mingling, not Xiao Lingming in your mouth, you can recognize the wrong person, and the place of heart you said is bluffing, how can there still be such a space in my body!"
Sneering, the old man said: "Recognize the wrong person, I have been born in your body since you were born, how could I recognize the wrong person, you are Xiao Lingming, Xiao Lingming is you, as for why you are now named Li Mingling, it is because your parents are worried that you will be killed because of the surname Xiao, so they changed your name. ”
Hearing the old man's words mention his parents, and all other answers were forgotten by curiosity, Ming Ling asked, "Do you know my parents? Where are they now?"
At this time, Ming Ling's face frowned, and his eyes became trance-like.
Ming Ling is a very sensible child, after his parents left, he lived in his aunt's house, his aunt was afraid that Ming Ling would have misunderstanding and hatred for his parents, so she told Ming Ling that his parents were very responsible people, and they chose to leave because they were forced to leave.
also often mentioned to him the righteous things his parents had done, so beating his parents was a big hero in Li Mingling's mind.
After his parents left, Ming Ling never asked his former neighbors and his parents' former close relatives and friends about his parents' whereabouts, but in vain and in vain.
Looking at Ming Ling's expression, the old man touched his beard, adding a little shame to his face.
"Alas, Lingming, I am only born in your body, and I know exactly what happened to you, but as for where your parents are now, I have no clue, and you don't have to be too sad, you are still young, and the most important thing to do now is to train your strength hard, and I believe that in the near future, I will meet your parents. ”
The old man's voice sounded very gentle.
Hearing the old man's words, Ming Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man with expectant eyes.
"You said you know everything I've been through, so what kind of people are my parents?"
Raising his head slightly, the old man's eyes did not know where to look, and he touched his beard.
"Your parents are the ones who can really deserve the word 'refiner', they are very good to you, especially partial to you, as for why they left you, I don't know, but on the night they left you, you were still asleep, and I didn't stop, your parents were so reluctant to you when they left, I was really moved!"
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but sigh, and a touch of respect flashed in his eyes.
My aunt didn't cheat on me!
After listening to the old man's words, a satisfied smile appeared on Ming Ling's face.
"Hearing you say that, aren't my parents very strong?"
The old man nodded, and the respect in his eyes grew stronger.
"Not only is it strong, when they were still by your side, that is, seven years ago, they were already orange products, you must know that at that time, there were very few orange qi masters in the entire Xuanzhi Continent, and now that seven years have passed, presumably your parents have reached the top of the qi refiners!"
The old man replied solemnly.
Opening his mouth slightly, Ming Ling looked incredulous.
"The top Qi Refiner, old man, are you referring to the strength of the Qi King or above?"
Ming Ling asked, his tone a little surprised.
"Yes, but that's just my guess. The old man said.
Pursing his lips, Ming Ling had a few simple conversations with the old man, which made him feel a little admiration for his parents.
"Thinking about your parents who were obviously so reluctant to let you go, but they had to leave you, naturally their mission is very important to your parents, so the most important thing you should do now is to work hard to cultivate your strength, and after you have achieved some achievements in refining qi, you can also help your parents, right, presumably at that time, your parents will also be happy for you. ”
The old man encouraged, a kind smile on the corner of his mouth raised.
Get stronger!
This is the truest voice in Mingling's heart, what his aunt and the old man in front of him said about his parents made Mingling admire and worship his parents, he believes that as long as he becomes strong enough, he will meet his parents and fight side by side!
"I will try my best to become an excellent Qi Refiner, excellent is not enough, I Li Mingling want to reach the top!" Mingling said, his tone was full of determination, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything.
