Chapter 11: The Ancient Ring of Sword Patterns
"However, the old man is conditional, under the old man's teaching, within a year, if you can't cultivate this body to the peak of the Condensation Source Realm again, I can only leave you and tell Nie Yuanshan that I was blind to him at the beginning. ”
The old dragon lowered his voice and wanted to pour cold water on the confident Zhang Ling.
Puff ......
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ling, who was standing in the middle of the door, faced the door, bent his knees, and knelt on the ground.
Zhang Ling raised his left arm high, and his slender five fingers spread out against the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and the sword pattern ancient ring under the moonlight looked extremely mysterious.
"The second master is above, and he is worshiped by the apprentice. ”
Zhang Ling's eyes were like torches, sincere and solemn, and he bowed his head to the sword pattern ancient ring in his hand.
Sword pattern ancient ring inner ......
In the deep and dark space, the old dragon raised the curled dragon head, carefully observing the young man's sudden movement, and then the old eyes returned to their previous peace.
This apprenticeship is different from being forcibly persecuted by Nie Yuanshan at the beginning, the previous sentence that seemed to be a pleading to apprentice was Zhang Ling's wish from the bottom of his heart.
In terms of hardship and hard work, he Zhang Ling was tortured by poisonous spirits on the earth for twenty years.
Before, on Earth, he didn't have a choice, but now he knew exactly what he had to do.
After watching the duel between his father and Zhang Muzhi, he better understood what the necessary factors were to achieve what he wanted to do.
It is not comparable to the earth, learn a knowledge, learn a craft, and you can take root in society.
And this Demon Spirit Continent regards personal cultivation achievements above all else.
From the strict clan rules of the Zhang family, Zhang Ling understands very well what the rules of the game are in this world.
The gift of apprenticeship is extremely simple, but it is extremely valuable in the eyes of the old dragon.
Looking at the firm and persistent young man, Lao Long also got a trace of comfort in his heart.
The old dragon's eyes were soft, and he sighed in his heart, this time again, it seems that there is nothing to lose.
"Get up, boy, and here comes those who care about you. ”
The old dragon circled and lowered his head again, and after sensing Zhang Chen, who was hurrying towards the cabin with spiritual power, he reminded Zhang Ling softly, and no longer continued to communicate with the young man with his thoughts.
Zhang Ling received the voice of the old dragon in his mind, so he stood up and cast his gaze on the cold light rushing down the hillside.
......
"Ling'er, do you really come to your senses?"
Rushing to the door of the wooden house, the middle-aged man who was excitedly holding Zhang Ling's shoulders did not take a breath, his eyes were full of joy, and then he carefully examined the scars on the young man's body.
The middle-aged man is Zhang Ling's father, Zhang Chen.
"Well, father, you've been tired all these years. ”
When Zhang Ling shouted this father, all that appeared in his brain was the memories of Xiao Zhang Ling and Zhang Chen, and everything seemed to be experienced by himself when he was young.
"Silly boy, the sky has eyes, it must be that Ning Yuan Dan who happens to be in harmony with your dementia, thank God. ”
Zhang Chen's eyes were soft, looking at Zhang Ling's talking expression, all the same as five years ago, the huge and generous palm pulled the young man into his arms, hugged him tightly and doted on him, and said with a choked mouth.
After being hugged tightly, hearing the three words Ning Yuandan, Zhang Lingjun frowned slightly, and thought to himself: "Yes, I forgot to ask the second master just now, and took out the green "dragon eye" and returned it to my father."
Zhang Ling thought about it again and felt that this matter was not in a hurry, so he planned to talk about it later.
Feeling the strong and warm embrace of my father, the heart that had lost its feelings for my loved ones on the earth seemed to start beating again.
Zhang Ling didn't push him away because the middle-aged man hugged him too tightly, Zhang Ling knew that this was the most emotional way for a man to express himself at the moment, which was worth a thousand words.
The father, who had never given up hope for him, had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Father, I'm sorry. ”
Zhang Ling said slowly, wanting to comfort the man in front of him, because of himself, who had just experienced a big war.
"What's wrong with you? It's your fault that Daddy wasn't by your side back then, and he didn't take care of you. ”
Although Zhang Chen was reluctant, he still opened Zhang Ling easily, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and said with great self-reproach.
"It's all over, father, let's go into the house and talk. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Ling took Zhang Chen's thick and warm palm, and the two walked into the cabin together, sitting on the bench in the living room of the wooden house and chatting heartily until late at night.
Tonight, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, and in the small wooden house built on the mountainside, there are three clear and hearty laughter from time to time.
On the bench, the young man's eyebrows fluttered, and he recounted what he saw and heard outside of his consciousness, and the middle-aged man listened to it with relish.
By the windowsill, the girl's hair was waist-high, lying on the table not far from the two, her beautiful eyes had been staring at the puffiness on her face, but she kept shaking her head and shaking her head, and the young man who was full of energy suddenly provoked the girl's delicate white fingers, and the corners of her mouth like rouge on the lower lip of the veil trembled into a pleasant and light laugh.
"Hahaha...... In that place called the earth, there are even gods that are thousands of miles away and can meet people on the phone, which is really interesting and interesting. ”
Zhang Chen stroked the young man's head, and the two laughed together.
"That's right, Ling'er, this is the jade muscle powder that my father took from Baicao Pavilion, it is very effective for reducing swelling and removing scars, just put it on the wound before going to bed, I am afraid that my father will be too happy, and I will forget this stubble. ”
Zhang Chen rubbed the bruises on Zhang Ling's face distressedly, took out a small and delicate white jade medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling bowed his head obediently, stretched out his left hand to take the medicine bottle, and was about to withdraw his palm, but his small arm was held down by Zhang Chen.
Zhang Ling was puzzled and looked up at Zhang Chen, only to find that Zhang Chen was rubbing his incredible eyes, staring at the sword pattern ancient ring on his ring finger.
"Father, do you know this ring?"
Zhang Ling saw that the latter's face was shocked, and he guessed in his heart that his father knew the origin of the things given by his master, so that he didn't have to go through thousands of mountains and rivers to find his master like a headless fly.
I saw Zhang Chen repeatedly raise Zhang Ling's ring finger, looking at the ring, as if he had discovered the world's treasure, he shook his head with surprise and asked, "I don't know...... Ling'er, where did you get this ancient ring?"
"It was given to the old man who returned to the continent from the earth with me, as I told you before. ”
Zhang Ling was a little disappointed on his face, and thought to himself, sure enough, what Master Long Er said was right, maybe he really couldn't inquire about anything about the two of them here.
"My God, Ling'er, do you remember what special things the old man explained? ”
Zhang Chen put down Zhang Ling's arm and looked at Zhang Ling solemnly, for fear that his son would miss a great creation.
"I didn't say anything special, I just let me practice my skills and go to him when the time comes. Zhang Ling recalled all kinds of pictures with Nie Yuanshan on the earth and even when they were separated, and his heart swelled with inexplicable sadness.
"That's right...... Did he give any name? ”
After listening to Zhang Ling's first sentence, Zhang Chen felt that it was a pity, but the next sentence aroused Zhang Chen's curiosity and asked.
"Yes...... Yes, it seems to be called something, Imperial ...... What a dragon is coming. ”
Zhang Ling touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly, it wasn't that Zhang Ling didn't want to tell Zhang Chen the name of his scoundrel master.
When he first saw Nie Yuanshan when he was young, the old man once recited his name depressedly, and later probably felt that such a loud title would be seriously inconsistent with the current life of eating cabbage and eating steamed buns, and he never talked about that title from then on.
"Okay. ”
Zhang Chen saw that the young man really couldn't think of it, so he didn't ask again.
Zhang Chen then set his eyes on the black ancient and textured ancient ring, and explained: "There is a general name for this thing on the Demon Spirit Continent, called the ancient ring, and the production is made of rare inscriptions in heaven and earth. ”
Zhang Ling, who listened carefully and carefully, raised his left hand slightly, looking at the ancient ring curiously.
Zhang Ling was slightly stunned, thinking in his heart that the master still didn't let him down.
From his father's exaggerated expression, he could know that the ring that the old man had treasured so well before was indeed a mysterious big treasure.
"All the ancient rings on this continent are from the hands of that ancient sect, that family ranks among the top three on the continent's demon spirit rich list, and the assets owned by the family are more than wrong to buy our entire Evergreen Continent. ”
Zhang Chen told the young man the story of the top of the mainland, and his vicissitudes of life bloomed with hot yearning.
"It's so powerful, isn't that a monopoly industry behavior!"
Zhang Ling was excited when he heard something related to money, on the earth, he and Nie Yuanshan were hungry for three days, and ate steamed buns for two days, the most hateful reason for this is that there is less money that the world yearns for and worships as an almighty god.
Looking at his father's fiery eyes, I am afraid that it is also due to the envy of the family that produced the ancient rings and has countless wealth.
"Alas, there is no way, only they have the secret recipe for making ancient rings, and the ancient rings are divided into, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, five grades, and the color is also equal to it, the more the ancient ring is leaning back, the more precious it is, but only a bronze ancient ring is worth the profit of my Zhang clan for a year. ”
Zhang Chen sighed helplessly, just because he had a chance to buy a bronze ancient ring at the auction house in Via City, but unfortunately he was pressed away by the patriarch of the Ye family.
"It's so valuable, father, you can find a way to get it off my finger and sell it for me." ”
Zhang Ling was like a miser, completely taking Nie Yuanshan's previous instructions as the wind in his ears.
When these words came out, the old dragon in the ancient ring was frightened, and the dragon's face changed greatly, and he couldn't figure out what this young man was thinking.
"I can't sell it...... Even if I can sell as a father, I won't agree, I really have never seen you with this black grade. ”
Zhang Chen looked at his innocent and lovely son, crying and laughing.
And the old dragon in the ancient ring rolled his eyes, and his eyes were full of contempt for the ignorant boy.
"Well, my father said all that, so what is this thing for? ”
Zhang Ling laughed in his heart, joking like this, it is estimated that the two masters he just met are afraid that he will be angry, in fact, the second master is much more stable than the master, I don't know how this dragon and one person met.
"Yes, I forgot to tell you about its purpose, its only purpose is to load items, the level mentioned before is used to divide the size of the storage space, and it can't be resold because the ancient ring can only be turned into two hands from the moment it is created, you should be the second owner of this ancient ring. ”
Zhang Chen patted Zhang Ling's shoulder and stood up from the bench, glanced at the night outside the window, and thought happily in his heart, "It's not too early, it's time to go back, there will be a test of the young people of the family tomorrow, and let my son have a good rest." ”
Seeing his father get up, Zhang Ling also stood up and looked at Zhang Chen, who was sturdy and upright.
Zhang Chen once again dotingly kneaded the young man's little head and said softly: "Ling'er, you have a good rest, Ming'er's father will come over to accompany you after finishing the matter at hand." ”
"Well, knowing my father, you can rest well. The young man Zhang Ling nodded his head obediently and walked out of the door with Zhang Chen.
"No need to send it anymore, go back, silly boy. ”
After sending him off for a long time, Zhang Chen was reluctant to let the boy go back to sleep, and the boy saw that his father was so persistent, so he stopped and watched him go down the mountain.
"Hey, stinky boy, you don't even know the honorific title of Old Man Nie, how did this apprentice be. ”
The old dragon in the ancient ring sneered.
"It's been too long, I really don't remember, alas, besides, Master and I were so poor that even if I shouted this title every day, I couldn't eat it on Earth. ”
Zhang Ling put his hands on his chest, looked at the figure of his father who had not walked far, and said with a smile to the old dragon in the ancient ring.
"Okay, the old man told you, hmph, the name he was known for his wandering in the continent back then was the Dragon Sword Venerable. ”
After the old dragon spoke, a look of embarrassment appeared on the old face, I hope this kid didn't think about any nonsense.
Zhang Ling nodded secretly, saying in his heart that he knew, and then shouted at his father who walked halfway up the mountain: "Father~ That old man claims to be the Dragon Sword Venerable!"
Hillside......
After Zhang Chen heard the crisp shout of the young man, he looked back at the figure of the young man on the hillside under the moon, and then turned around and continued to walk down.
Royal Dragon Sword Venerable, a good title, but I haven't heard of it, Zhang Chen Yiran was happy and slowly walked down the mountain with joy on his face.
No, just half a step, Zhang Chen's body trembled violently, and this extremely powerful sixth-stage demon spirit master almost tripped over the stones under his feet.
Jianzun Jianzun, these two words hovered back and forth in Zhang Chen's brain, isn't it, his son will not get acquainted with a strong "Lingzun" who stands at the top of a continent.
Zhang Chen couldn't tell how he felt now, Zhang Chen, who had always lived in a mature and steady character, couldn't hold back the emotions in his heart as if he had exploded, jumped a few meters, and looked at the hillside, but the young man's elegant figure was gone.
