Chapter 22: Departure

It has been more than four months since Lin Jing left Liujia Village and came to Lingshan. These days, he has gradually become accustomed to the days when his father and mother are away, although the flame of revenge is getting stronger and stronger, but at least in the company of Ma Dahai and Ma Xiaoling, he is not filled with hatred, but lives happily.

In the past six years, Lin Jing has not heard a single word from his father about the gossip door or his uncle Ma Dahai, but in just four months in Lingshan, he has a "bearded uncle" and a sister Xiaoling.

The warmth and care of relatives did not disappear from Lin Jing's world because of the tragic death of his father.

If he had a choice, Lin Jing was even willing to live with Ma Dahai's father and daughter for the rest of his life.

It's just that Lin Jing didn't have a choice. He had to leave Lingshan, Ma Dahai, and his sister Xiaoling.

Why?

When Lin Jing heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it was these three words that could not be dissipated in his mind for a long time: Why?

That day was the seventh day of Ma Dahai's return to Lingshan, his injuries had gradually healed, and when he walked outside the house, the sky was like hanging a white silk with a clean, clear and cloudless, Lin Jing and Ma Xiaoling were teasing Xiaobai there.

Xiaobai is different from other rabbits, he always has to sleep for seven or eight hours a day, and the waking time is very short, Ma Xiaoling loves it, and always does not want to wake it up from sleep, so the time to play with Xiaobai is extremely short, and naturally it is more cherished.

Ma Dahai got closer, and Ma Xiaoling realized that her father was coming, and subconsciously hugged Xiaobai in her arms, as if she was still worried that Ma Dahai would take Xiaobai away from her.

"Ling'er, don't be afraid. Ma Dahai smiled bitterly, her daughter loves this little white rabbit so much, how can she take her love? There is still too little communication with her daughter, maybe it is long overdue to learn how to get along with the child.

Thinking of his junior brother Lin Kun, Ma Dahai's heart was sentimental, seeing Lin Jing's face with a bright smile, how he hoped that this moment could be maintained forever.

"Jing'er, haven't you always told your uncle that you want to learn skills and kill the corpse to avenge your father's mother. Uncle didn't teach you before because the time hadn't come yet. Now, it's time. Ma Dahai said: "Three days later, Uncle will send you to Maoshan Sect." ”

Lin Jing listened with his ears pricked up, and when he heard Ma Dahai agree to teach him skills, he was so excited that he almost didn't jump up, but when he heard the Maoshan Sect again, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Uncle Beard, where is the Maoshan Sect?"

"Yes, Daddy, why didn't you teach Brother Lin how to do it?" Ma Xiaoling was also puzzled.

"Jing'er, the reason for sending you to Maoshan Sect, Uncle can't tell you for the time being, you just need to know that everything Uncle does is for your good. Ma Dahai said with a calm face, he is not good at talking, the reason for this is quite complicated, and it will inevitably take a lot of effort to explain, so he simply does not explain.

Lin Jing lowered his head, bit his lower lip lightly, and looked at Xiaobai in his arms tightly, quite reluctantly. It was easy to feel at home, and he really didn't want to go to a strange place.

"When you arrive at the Maoshan Sect, you can learn powerful spells, and you can also cure the poison on your body. If there is another way, Uncle will not leave you. Ma Dahai looked gloomy and said.

"What, Daddy, don't we accompany Brother Lin to Maoshan Sect?" Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but ask when she heard this.

"Your father is a member of the Bagua Sect, how can he go to Maoshan Sect?" Ma Dahai was interrupted by Ma Xiaoling before he could finish speaking: "Why! I don't want to leave Brother Lin! Daddy, don't send Brother Lin away, okay!"

Ma Xiaoling was in a hurry and grabbed the corner of Ma Dahai's clothes.

"The enmity of your parents, if you don't share the sky, how can you not take revenge?" Ma Dahai shook off Ma Xiaoling's hand with a slight force, and said angrily: "Jing'er, Uncle doesn't want you to be burdened by hatred, but a good man, there are some things that must be borne by you alone." Do you understand?"

Lin Jing raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and nodded vigorously, in order to avenge his parents, he also had to go to the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, let alone the Maoshan Sect.

"Good boy!" Ma Dahai said approvingly, then raised his head, as if talking to himself: "This is the first decision I made as the head of the door, and I hope I will not regret it in the future." ”

"Ling'er, go and take out the booklet from my package. Ma Dahai said.

Ma Xiaoling pouted and walked into the house angrily.

"Jing'er, in the future, you are not allowed to mention the matter of Bagua Gate in front of anyone. Do you know?" Ma Dahai naturally had his reason for doing this, but now he can't tell Lin Jing.

Lin Jing nodded and said, "Remember." ”

"And. Ma Dahai gently hugged Lin Jing's shoulders and said softly: "Jing'er, you must remember that no matter what time it is, you are my gossip gate." ”

Lin Jing looked at Ma Dahai in bewilderment, but the latter just grinned and smiled.

Ma Dahai's words do seem to be a bit contradictory, but in fact, they have a deep meaning, but they can't explain it to Lin Jing thoroughly for a while.

At this time, Ma Xiaoling came out of the house, holding a large thick parchment booklet sewn with twine in her arms, Ma Dahai picked up the booklet from her arms, and said to Lin Jing: "Jing'er, although I can't teach you skills, but this book is recorded and passed down by the ancestors of the Bagua Sect for generations, you can take a look." ”

Lin Jing took it, hugged it in his arms, and turned the first page, with strange symbols written on it, twisted into a ball, Lin Jing looked at the second page, there were a few strokes on it with a bird, although the outline was simple, but it could be seen that the bird spread its wings, the body was huge, and it was very majestic. There are also a few lines of strange symbols below the picture, although Lin Jing can't understand it, but his father once introduced him to the story of the ancients' knotted rope and the development of writing when he was a child, and he also knows that these symbols are the words used by the ancients a long time ago, and they are not strange symbols.

Lin Jing turned directly to the last page, drawing a fox with a big fluffy tail, and then looking at the words below the picture, although it was scribbled, it was written in regular letters, and it read: The eight-tailed demon fox is extremely fast, good at concealing breath, unable to lock, can move mountains and reclaim the sea, the demon power is strong, not under the golden-winged Dapeng King, see it, you must be cautious.

Another note: Although this demon is strong, it is not bloodthirsty, and it has been attacked by the Five Elements Formation, which is invalid, and must be defeated by the Fuxi Heavenly Sword.

In the lower right corner of this page, there are three slightly smaller words: Ma Dahai.

It turned out to be written by the bearded uncle! Lin Jing was interested, and thought to himself: Although the bearded uncle's handwriting is scribbled, this picture is lifelike and extremely vivid.

Count the fox's tail again, no more, no less, exactly eight!

"Jing'er, you can take your time, but before you leave, you must return it to me. Ma Dahai said.

Children often like books with pictures and texts, and Lin Jing is no exception, pulling Ma Xiaoling, and the two leaned under the big willow tree together and read with relish.

Seeing this scene, Ma Dahai smiled bitterly and shook his head, how did the two children understand that this seemingly "fun" album was exchanged for blood by the ancestors of the Bagua Sect. Take this eight-tailed demon fox as an example, he almost took his life.

Maybe it's also a kind of inheritance.

The atlas that Ma Dahai handed over to Lin Jing to read was never passed on in the Bagua Gate, but how could Lin Jing be regarded as an outsider? How could he bear to let Lin Jing embark on this journey full of danger and unknown without knowing anything?

The reluctance to say goodbye gradually hit Ma Xiaoling's heart, and she talked and laughed when she and Lin Jing flipped through the album during the day, but when night fell, her mood was extremely complicated.

"Brother Lin, will you forget me. ”

Ma Dahai's snoring came and went, and Lin Jing's even breathing sounded in his ears, but Ma Xiaoling tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She opened her eyes wide, blinking in the dark, and finally couldn't help but gently push Lin Jing awake and whispered in his ear.

"Sister Xiaoling, you are my only relative in this world, how could I forget you. Lin Jing thought for a long time before saying, he was just a child less than seven years old, leaving from a warm environment and traveling alone, the sentimentality and reluctance in his heart can be imagined.

"Then I'll go to see you often in the future, okay?" Ma Xiaoling was very helpful in her heart, and said happily: "Daddy won't let me send you, I'm very unhappy, but I'm too young." ”

"When I learn the skill and avenge my father, I'll go to you, and we can play together forever. "How did Lin Jing know that although the world of children is a bit monotonous, sometimes it is much simpler than the life of adults. When they grow up, they will understand that the word "forever" should not be mentioned lightly at any time.

Ma Xiaoling was very happy when she heard it. The two children talked happily and happily, and they didn't notice that the snoring around them had long stopped.

The night is long, but you can sleep soundly.

When Lin Jing and Ma Xiaoling woke up one after another, they were already on the rise. Seeing that Xiaobai in the corner was still sleeping in a nest made of weeds, Ma Xiaoling said with a smile: "What a little lazy worm." ”

They rubbed their sleepy eyes, walked to the door, and saw Ma Dahai hanging in the air with his knees crossed!

Lin Jing's eyes widened in surprise, and Ma Xiaoling beside him whispered, "Shhh ”

Lin Jing followed Ma Xiaoling's gesture and saw that the four big willow trees were not moving in the mountain wind, as if they were still.

"Give. Ma Xiaoling quietly handed Lin Jing a red charm, and she also held one in her hand and stuck it on her forehead. Lin Jing did the same, and after pasting the red talisman on his forehead, the world in front of him suddenly changed, and there was a dense red line between the four big willow trees and Ma Dahai, constantly beating.

Lin Jing was startled, the red charm fell from his forehead, and when he looked up again, the red line was gone, and everything was as usual. Sticking the red charm on his forehead again, the red line reappeared.

Lin Jing took the red talisman in his hand and kept looking at it, thinking that this red talisman looked ordinary, just a piece of red paper with strange symbols drawn in ink, how could it have such a magical effect, it could change the world in his eyes!

These days, although Lin Jing has seen and heard a lot of strange things, but after all, he has never experienced it himself, just take Ma Dahai's full body skills, Lin Jing knows that he is very good, but how he was born with a skill, but there is no way to know. It was not until this moment that Ma Dahai's way of practicing was first seen.

"Jing'er, you're awake. Ma Dahai's voice sounded in his ears, Lin Jing looked into the air, and saw that he didn't make any movements, but his body slowly fell.
