Chapter 33: Shocking Change!
Ling Zhu thought for a moment and replied, "I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it, my uncle is still quite powerful!"
"Oh?" Dong Zheng became interested, and pulled Ling Zhu and said, "You are so talented, it is estimated that your uncle is also trained well!"
"Can I still train my talent?" Ling Zhu looked at this unreliable senior brother helplessly, and said with white eyes: "I have not been interested in cultivation since I was a child, this is true, and my uncle didn't force me to do anything, but just taught me some martial arts." ”
Ling Zhu recalled the days when he was a child, when he was forced to learn things by his uncle, those seemingly ordinary martial arts were clearly superior exercises!
Uncle, who are you? Why are you so mysterious?
Ever since he had a dream in the illusory state of mind, Ling Zhu's speculation about the uncle in his heart has not stopped, and he has an intuition that the uncle must be hiding a big secret!
Dong Zheng didn't bother about the uncle's affairs anymore, and asked again: "Senior brother, are you interested in impacting the position of the ancient spirit?"
"Not much interest for the time being. Ling Zhu smiled after speaking, as if he remembered something, "By the way, what does this ancient spirit mean, why are there five?"
"Eh, you don't know Gu Ling?" Dong Zheng looked at Ling Zhu strangely.
"No one told me!" Ling Zhu said with a wry smile.
"Okay!" Dong Zheng thought about it seriously and said slowly: "Gu Ling, it is the name of the five disciples, in fact, it is also the name of the mysterious inheritance on their bodies! It is said that the talent of the five of them was originally the highest among all the disciples, so the sect handed over the five ancient inheritance spirits to them for fusion, and after they obtained the ancient spirits, their strength increased greatly!"
"Spirit of Inheritance, what is that?" Ling Zhu asked.
"The spirit of inheritance is the spirit of inheritance, from some ancient forbidden places, you can understand it as a living ancient spirit, these spirit of inheritance has no sanity, not even an instinctive reaction, but after fusion, it can make people quickly improve their strength in all aspects, so everyone in the Holy Fire Hall wants to become an ancient spirit!"
"But not everyone is qualified. Ling Zhu said thoughtfully.
"Well, so every once in a while, there will be a selection competition for the inheritors of the ancient spirits, and the rest of the disciples will challenge the ancient spirits, and the winner can obtain the fusion of the ancient spirits, and the loser will automatically strip the ancient spirits from the body, and at that time, the cultivation will also decline, and the body and mind will suffer a lot!"
"It's miserable!" Ling Zhu could imagine.
"Yes, but after becoming an ancient spirit, his strength is much stronger than that of ordinary Holy Fire Hall disciples, how can he be defeated so easily, the current Five Gu has been dominating for a long time. Dong Zheng said.
"Oh yes, your Senior Brother Huang Yu is one of those who is qualified to challenge the Gu Ling. Dong Zheng continued to add.
"Senior Brother Huang Yu...... Ling Zhu had never seen this Senior Brother since he entered the door for so long, "Does he want to become an ancient spirit?"
"No one doesn't want to inherit the Gu Ling, and that means being strong. Dong Zheng said with a yearning on his face.
After sitting with Ling Zhu for a long time, Dong Zheng said that it was time to go up the mountain, so Ling Zhu got up and glanced at the clouds and mist between the peaks in the distance, preparing to return to the Shadow Fire Sect to return to his life.
Ling Zhu turned to look at the towering Shadow Fire Sect, his heart was full of emotion, and at this moment, he noticed that Dong Zheng's face had turned pale!
"Xiaobu, what are you doing?!" Dong Zheng was so frightened that his voice trembled.
Almost at the same time, Ling Zhu only felt a slimy mass lying on top of him, and then the liquid slowly dispersed and soaked into his skin.
Xu Xiaobu looked at Ling Zhu with a desperate expression, and shouted hysterically: "Don't blame me! Senior brother, don't blame me! I was also forced!"
Ling Zhu looked down at the crystal clear light flowing everywhere on his body, and his heart was miserable! He immediately felt that his whole body was like falling into an ice cave, and a cold aura piercing into his soul spread silently from every corner of his body!
"Zhenhai Frost!" Ling Zhu spat out these four words with difficulty.
Dong Zheng knocked Xu Xiaobu to the ground with a palm like crazy, Xu Xiaobu coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood in pain, obviously Dong Zheng had moved his true anger this time.
"Why are you doing this!Does Ling Zhu have a grudge against you?" Dong Zheng asked, his face was angry, and at the same time a little apologetic, if he hadn't brought Ling Zhu out, Ling Zhu would not have suffered this kind of pain.
Dong Zheng could see at a glance that it was the Zhenhai Condensation Frost that appeared at the auction that day that Xu Xiaobu hit him when Ling Zhu turned around!
When a spiritual realm monk gets involved with this thing, the blood of his whole body will be frozen in an instant, and then every trace of spiritual energy will be coagulated, his consciousness will gradually dissipate, and finally the whole person will become a ball of ice powder, which can be said to be extremely painful!
"I don't want to! I was forced to do anything!" Xu Xiaobu shouted like a madman, "I owe him a life, I made a Taoist oath to do anything for him, I was forced!"
"Ling Zhu, don't blame me! I won't owe you!" Xu Xiaobu's eyes were blood-red as he looked at Ling Zhu, whose whole body was slowly turning snow-white.
Ling Zhu was unable to speak at this time, and felt that his consciousness was slowly becoming blurred, and he moved his fingers with difficulty, desperately mobilizing the last trace of aura in his body.
"Fall ~ Fire ~ Technique!" Ling Zhu wanted to summon a ball of flames, but before the aura changed, the only trace of breath was frozen.
There was a great shock in Ling Zhu's body! The seven high-hanging crescent moons became extremely transparent at this time, dripping with bright frost hanging high, not moving, and the originally glowing sea of knowledge also became a dead silence!
"I, am I going to die?" Ling Zhu thought to his last consciousness, the first person that appeared in front of his eyes was the uncle, the uncle promised to come to pick him up in a year, presumably he would be very sad to see me alive when the time came!
There is also the peach blossom forest in the dream, the middle-aged man who hugged Ling Zhu in his early childhood, is all this a dream or reality, do I still have a chance to explore the buried truth?
Ling Zhu vaguely saw Dong Zheng grabbing Xu Xiaobu's collar and asked, "Where did you come from Zhenhai Condensation?!"
I only heard Xu Xiaobu say miserably: "Sayu Heaven gave me a thing, which is more important to the Shangyuan family than Zhenhai Condensation Frost, and I will use it in exchange." ”
"You stupid!" Dong Zheng punched Xu Xiaobu to the ground again, "Delusion is really a despicable villain! I'm afraid that Ling Zhu will take away his position as an ancient spirit and make such a nasty method!"
Xu Xiaobu wiped the bright red blood from the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said, "You don't understand, what a terrible thing it is to break the Dao Heart Oath! That is no different from death!"
Suddenly, he said to Ling Zhu, who was about to fall unconscious, "Ling Zhu, don't hate me! I said I wouldn't owe you! I'll give you my life back!"
After speaking, Xu Xiaobu jumped up from the ground, turned around and jumped into the cliff!
