Chapter 5 The Stone Temple Outside the City
Ling Yu is back!
This news swept through the sky like a storm, and the forces that made the change in Qidu that day were even more uneasy, for fear that people would come to the door.
Ling Yu, after he was born, attracted attention all the way, entered the Tianqi Academy to practice at the age of six, showed a very high talent, and graduated from the Academy Palace ahead of schedule.
Later, he traveled all over the world, studied in major sects, defeated invincible opponents of the same age, suppressed a generation of younger generations, and even competed with many older generation of cultivators when he became an adult.
The ancestors of the Ling family died in the border pass, so Ling Yu asked for orders to go to the border pass and suppress the border pass for several years.
It wasn't until I returned from the border pass a few years ago that I was accompanied by a very beautiful woman, who was pregnant with Liujia, and it didn't take long for her to give birth to Ling Xu in Qidu.
Ling Xu had no impression of his parents, and when he heard the elders say that when his father named himself, he said, "I want to shine on the world like the rising sun!" and then named myself Ling Xu.
The child still has no memory, and the border pass is in turmoil, so he can't do it without a backbone, so Ling Yu went to the gate with his wife.
After hearing this, Ling Yu went deep into the gate, and there was no news for several years, and many people speculated that he had already died outside the gate. After all, there is a danger outside the gates, and strange things emerge in an endless stream, and I have never heard of anyone who can survive outside the gates for several years.
But now that he is back, whether he will avenge the Qi Du Ling family, whether he will return to recover the territory for Tianqi, everyone has no idea in their hearts.
Ling Yu is not only powerful in force, but also extraordinary in mind, few people can see through his mind, everyone in the world is paying attention to his next move...
At this moment, the general's mansion.
On the training ground, Hu Zhan continued to speak: "If Wan'er hadn't fallen off the horse that day, I'm afraid you would have died." There are still 800 soldiers outside the city, and if you run out of chaos, you will be hacked to death with a knife, and you will not recognize the identity of your young master of the Ling family. ”
Ling Xu couldn't help but be afraid for a while, he thought that there was only a team of military horses, and if he rushed out of the city gate at that time, he was afraid that he would die without a corpse!
Hu Zongbing said with a smile: "Now you can rest assured, the Weisheng family and the Ling family have been friends for generations, and they have gone to suppress the Western Wilderness together in the old years, it is for the friendship of life and death, but also for you and Wan'er..." "Now you are here to recuperate from your injuries in peace, and General Weisheng will protect you safely. ”
Ling Xu didn't say anything when he heard this, he watched the young people in the arena practicing martial arts, using their hands and feet together, sweating all over their bodies, his heart moved slightly, and said to Hu Zhan: "Uncle Hu, can I learn your body refining decision, I have some problems with my cultivation now." ”
"Didn't you be born with a spiritual vein that was a strange thing, and you were a Qi Du? Hu Zhan was a little strange, "You should be taking the path of spiritual cultivation, seeing that your breath should not have entered the qi driving realm, why do you want to try to cultivate martial arts?"
Wei Shengwan saw that their chat was very boring, and ran to the field with a smile to tease those teenagers.
Ling Xu smiled bitterly: "After three hundred and sixty-five weeks of spiritual channeling, the impact of the spiritual vein should have awakened the spiritual vein in one fell swoop, but I have been running for more than four hundred weeks, and when I hit the spiritual vein, I only felt that the spiritual vein was as hard as iron, and it did not move at all. ”
Hu Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "Most of the people in the army cultivate martial arts, but there are exceptions, and General Weisheng is a spiritual cultivator. I'm a rough person, and I don't understand these things, but I see General Weisheng another day, and you can ask him carefully. If you refine the body, you can see it everywhere in the normal army, and you can find it in the house, and I will get it for you later. ”
"Now that the path of cultivation is blocked, I want to take revenge, but I don't know who the enemy is. Ling Xu was depressed in his heart, and then he thought of something and said to Hu Zhan: "Uncle Hu, can you lend me some silver taels?"
Hu Zhan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ling Xu to make such a request, he raised his eyebrows, and said, "I'm just a small chief soldier, and this monthly salary is extremely meager..."
"Brother Ling, do you want money? I have it here!" Wei Shengwan played around in the arena, and ran behind Hu Zhan again at some point.
After that, he took out a gold leaf from the small sachet he carried, which was small and very exquisite.
"No, this leaf can be exchanged for a lot of money. This was given to me by my father on my sixth birthday, saying that it means golden branches and jade leaves. ”
Ling Xu was embarrassed and looked up at Tiger Zhan: "Uncle Tiger, this..."
The bearded man scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "The general's micro-family is a famous family in Tianqi, and I was only born as a civilian, so I am naturally incomparable with the general." I can go to the general and ask to borrow some silver taels, and I'll get it for you later. Wan'er! Put away the gold leaf!"
Wei Shengwan stuck out her tongue and grimaced, then put away the gold leaf and ran to the side to play.
"Then thank you Uncle Tiger. Ling Xu bowed.
The early morning sun shone down and flowed quietly through the crevices of the branches. The teenagers were sweating, the sun was young, Ling Xu was also restless in his heart, and he wanted to go down with them, but the injuries were not healed, so he just gave up thinking about it.
Tiger Zhan went for a while and came back, and also brought the body refining duel, Ling Xu took the silver tael and the body refining duel, and then happily went out of the mansion. Tiger Zhan wanted to send two guards to follow, but was refused, and then went to report to General Weisheng.
General Weisheng thought about it, although the town was peaceful, he was still a little uneasy, so he sent two guards to follow secretly.
Ling Xu walked out of the General's Mansion and came to the streets of the town, looking at the peaceful scene in the city as usual, and his heart was also happy.
I wandered between various towns and cities, and saw scenes in the troubled times, divided in all directions, and the lords in various places were mostly to fill their pockets, oppress the people, and obtain benefits. People are panicking, burning, killing and looting, everywhere.
And the sects in various places also began to be in chaos, before the reign of Tianqi, under the great world, many demon sects and evil sects were like rats crossing the street, hidden in the world, unknown to the world. If there is chaos today, the demon sects and evil sects are emerging in an endless stream, harming the people everywhere, and human lives are like mustard.
Ling Xu then went to the stone temple outside the town and gathered with a group of homeless children.
"Xiao Xu, you said you know General Weisheng who just entered the city, and he still lives in the City Lord's Mansion?" a homeless child who was a few years older than Ling Xu asked.
Ling Xu seemed very happy, these beggars he had come here to meet, and they had only known each other for a few months. Some were a few years older than him, but they were only in their early teens, and some were younger than him.
They are very good-hearted, and they are very happy to get along with them, and Ling Xu even regards this place as home.
"Yes, I borrowed some silver from the general. So saying, he took out the food he had bought from his bulging bosom and divided it among the children.
The children are very happy, it is a very happy thing to have something to eat, and there is chatter and laughter in the stone temple.
"I'll ask the general another day, if I can recruit you into the army, so you don't have to live this kind of life without enough food and clothing!"
Ling Xu thought for a moment and continued: "But the army is very cruel, and many people will die in a battle..."
The big kids were delighted, "That's good! It's better than starving here and dying of starvation!"
"Maybe I can show my skills after joining the army, and I can be a general in the future. "The older children are beginning to fantasize about the days of joining the army in the future, and being in the army is indeed much better than the days of wandering around now.
"Xiao Xu, are you with us?" asked an older child.
Ling Xu thought about the Ling family and his parents, and then shook his head, the children were very disappointed.
But they also understood Ling Xu and got along for several months, although Ling Xu did not say his background, even the smart children could see that Ling Xu was hiding his heart and did not want to confide in others.
Ling Xu immediately changed the subject: "How are you doing these days?" Brother Big Bird, does the tavern owner agree with you to do chores?"
Big Bird is a ten-year-old child, his original name is Goofy, and the children nicknamed him Big Bird.
Gao Fei shook his head and said indignantly: "Say that I am not small, my body is thin, and I am not as good as the dog he raised!"
A child said: "I heard that his dog caught him two days ago and ran away! Before leaving, he scolded him! I don't know if it's true or not." ”
"Did his dog spit out?" The children who had never heard of this were all surprised, and even Ling Xu felt a little incredible.
A few days ago, when the soldiers of the Tianqi Kingdom were in the city, they all closed the city gate and did not allow anyone to enter or leave. Because when Zeguo declared independence, it was a small border town, and it was likely that war would break out at any time. It wasn't until the upper papers came down and then fled in a hurry that the gates were opened.
During this time, Ling Xu and the street children were hungry enough. When the city gate is open, you can go outside the city to pick some wild fruits or something, and if you are lucky, you can even catch some wild game.
Wei Shengfeng was in the mansion, looking at the drawings of the general trend in his hand, one of the guards who followed Ling Xu had returned and reported in the hall.
"After the young master of the Ling family left the house, he went to the west of the city to eat tofu brain, and then went to various restaurants, gave each boss two silver taels, and then went to the stone temple in the north of the city, where the homeless children of this town were gathered, and the little young master should be looking for the beggars he met here. ”
General Weisheng thought for a while and said, "Just let him say goodbye to them, now that the boundary with Tianqi has been drawn, he will return to Zedu in a few days." ”
"Report..."Before the guard could retreat, another soldier came to report.
Say. ”
"According to the report from Tianqi, General Ling Yuling has returned from outside the pass, returned to Qi Capital and was furious, the heavens and the earth changed color, raised the string and bent the bow, and shot across a hundred miles to explode the mountain gate of the Fantasy Mountain Sect, the whole sect trembled and trembled, and no one spoke. Now General Ling has met the emperor and is reorganizing the Ling family. ”
Wei Shengfeng was dumbfounded, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
