Chapter 24: Rigorous Training



And what Qiling has is a crucial secret, this secret was passed on to the nearest child to him when Zhang Qiling died, and that child was the stuffy oil bottle, that is, Zhang Moumou.

As for Zhang Moumou's name, there are three versions, the first: Zhang Qiming, the second: Zhang Qiling, and the third: Zhang Qifeng.

For these three versions, Zhang Tangrui has done his own analysis, first starting from the third, in the Qi word generation, there are already people called 'wind', because the Zhang family is scarce, so there are more choices, plus the production is small, so every child is very precious to the Zhang family, and the name is also very important, and rarely accented with the same family, so he feels that the third is not very likely.

The second is not accented with the same clan, but Qiling, shaped like a spirit, although there is no rule to say no, but there are generally taboos, so the probability of this name is not large.

So Zhang Tangrui locked the first name, so in the version he told, the original name of the stuffy oil bottle was: Qi Ming.

Generally, the selection of patriarchs will go through a rigorous process, but Zhang Qiming seems to be a gifted god, when the previous Zhang Qiling died, only he was by his side, for the ultimate secret, Zhang Qiling passed this secret to the stuffy oil bottle.

It was a bottle of stuffy oil that was only six years old.

But the six years old of the Zhang family is not the six years old of ordinary people, strictly speaking, it should be doubled in age, that is, the appearance of a six-year-old, and the age of twelve. The general lifespan is around 134.

Of course, Zhang Qiling is not counted.

However, due to a certain period of history, the Zhang family was severely suppressed by the current dynasty, so they accepted foreign marriages, resulting in a trend of unequal ages among the clansmen, such as Zhang Tangrui in front of me, he is no different from ordinary people.

And stuffy oil bottles, strictly speaking, are purebred.

Those who master the ultimate secret must become Zhang Qiling, but becoming a spirit is not as simple as imagined, so normally, Qiling needs to be selected and cultivated, as he spoke, Zhang Tangrui stretched out his finger.

His fingers were longer than ordinary people, but not as obvious as the stuffy oil bottle, and he said: "I am not a purebred, so I am not qualified to become a spirit, but my grandfather's generation has it, at that time, all the boys were trained as candidates, but because of that accident, the next position of spirit was forcibly produced." ”

Of course, this caused dissatisfaction among some people, and even in the strict requirements, non-purebred people could not run for election, which made the entire Zhang family even more turbulent, because this practice of designating the next president has never happened for thousands of years.

This is a test of the endurance of all the tribesmen.

Some people believe that the decision of the previous initiation should be followed, and that the one who holds the ultimate is the new initiation.

Some people believe that there is a reason for the incident, this is an accident, and the spirit should be selected according to the ancestral system, and as for the ultimate secret, a respected elder can be selected to know it first, and then it will be passed on to the new spirit.

This was immediately met with great criticism.

The reason why the Zhang family is so strict with Qiling and even annihilates human nature is precisely to protect the ultimate, which is why it has been passed on by word of mouth for thousands of years, and the Zhang family has mastered the ultimate, but there has never been a mess.

And according to the second statement, in this generation, wouldn't there be two unrelated people who have the ultimate secret all of a sudden?

It's absolutely impossible!

Zhang Tangrui said before that the Zhang family is a very strict family, so some people say that this highly respected person must be an old man who must commit suicide after passing it on to the new spirit.

This is not difficult for the Zhang family.

But someone pointed to the young Zhang Qiming and said, what about this child? Does he deserve to die too?

Zhang Qiming's parents died in the defense of the previous Qiling, and it was his father's brother who spoke.

Everyone is silent, in the Zhang family, children are very important, and bloodline is even more important.

The final result of the discussion was that he could become a spirit, but he had to meet the conditions for becoming a spirit within fifteen years, and Zhang Qiming accepted it.

The next thing is more old-fashioned, that is, to start receiving various trainings, and Zhang Tangrui did not say the specific training, because this is the training method that the Zhang family keeps secret, but he mentioned a detail.

That's bone shrinking training.

Most of the bone shrinking exercises that are now circulating are just shrinking the thin seams between the bones, and the effect achieved is not ideal, although it is hard to practice, but it is not daunting.

However, the effect of the bone shrinking skill practiced by the Zhang family is not ordinary, which is to remove the joints of the whole body again and again, and push them back until the bones are ground smooth and stretch freely.

What kind of painful training should this be?

The human body, there are 12 large joints and 210 small joints, all of which are removed, and that kind of pain must be endured not only once, but also countless times...... I can't imagine how the stuffy oil bottle survived such torture.

Half a year after Zhang Qiming's training, his eyes were as cold as a dead man.

I can almost imagine a scene where a six-year-old child undergoes the Zhang family's so-called rigorous training of secrecy, without parents and relatives, and accepts it alone.

Then it becomes apathetic.

It was only then that I realized that it was not the stuffy oil bottle that was born stronger than us, and it was not that he was born to be a god for us to look up to. Only by bathing in pain can there be the rebirth of Nirvana.

The experience of the stuffy oil bottle is unbearable, and it is precisely because of him that when all of us see him powerful, the first impression is: this is not a man, it is simply a god.

Until the age of twenty-four, Zhang Qiming's name died on the family tree.

After Zhang Tangrui finished talking about this, he reiterated it and said: "I said that this is just a version, and every Zhang Qiling's existence will not leave a trace, so what I am talking about now may be true, or it may be all false." ”

The fat man and I looked at each other, and somehow there was a feeling of swelling and pain in my heart.

I remembered that five years ago, on the Gobi Desert on his way to the Western Queen Country, the stuffy oil bottle said: he is a person who has no past and no future, and all he wants to look for is the traces of existence.

It was only then that I realized that the past that the stuffy oil bottle was looking for may never have existed. It was a mark of obliteration, and even the name Zhang Qiming could be an illusion, except for recovering the memory of the vanished, his past could not be answered from any ancient tomb, even if he returned to the Zhang family, it was impossible.

Until this moment, I can objectively review the history of the stuffy oil bottle.

The awakening of the stuffy oil bottle is Zhang Kun.

He was used as bait to go down to the tomb, and then hacked the rice dumplings and the people who put the bait to death, and then met Chen Pi Ah Si.

At that time, the stuffy oil bottle didn't know anything about himself, but he found his difference, he had a pair of hairy fingers, he had precious blood, everything pointed in one direction, perhaps, he was once a tomb robber.

So can you get your own memories from the ancient tombs?

So he began to help Chen Pi'a fight four times, until one time, he found a trace of familiarity in the fight, perhaps seeing the marks left by himself, he began to look for the bucket he had played one after another, and these clues were pieced together, and gradually made some memories recover.

Immediately afterwards, the mission of the Meteorite Jade, the Ghost Seal, and the Bronze Gate, the stuffy oil bottle gradually regained its memory, and even remembered the events of more than forty years ago.

But there are still many things I haven't remembered, such as where my people are and where the ultimate is. He couldn't remember that all he had was the ultimate clues, and the only thing he could do now was to protect them from falling into the hands of others.

But because of Lao Jiumen, to be exact, because of me, he handed over the last clue: Niriva Xian card.

And the only way to save this mistake is to find a longer memory, recall the ultimate location, if not destroy it, at least wipe it out once its people enter.

At this moment, I have never been as clear about the stuffy oil bottle as I am at this moment, and at the same time, a layer of cold sweat broke out all over my body.

This means that there are only two possibilities for the stuffy oil bottle to go to the ultimate.

First: the ultimate can be controlled by man, and the stuffy oil bottle can allow it to be transferred, or hidden, or even destroyed.

Second: if none of the above can be done, then the only thing he can do is kill everyone who goes there.

If he had done the first thing, he would have followed the promise and come back to join us, but he didn't. Then it can only be the second reason, he chooses to obliterate.

Just as he succeeded in erasing it, he might be able to cut off its clues, but if he didn't, he might sleep forever in the end.

My blood was cold, and I collapsed on the couch.

The fat man is not stupid, he obviously thought of one thing with me, the whole person's face changed, his lips were almost trembling, and he said, "Will the little brother have ......?"

"Impossible!" I pressed down the fat man's hand and said word by word: "So many times, we thought he was dead, but every time, he was alive, because he was Zhang Qiling, so he must still be alive, and we have to get him back." ”

The fat man seemed to want to say something, but in the end he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, the little brother is not accepted by Lord Yama, let's not scare ourselves." Then, he began to show impatience and said, "The surname is Zhang, if you have anything else, say it quickly." ”

Zhang Tangrui shook his head and said, "Before unlocking this password map, you should need to answer my question." After a pause, he said: "We don't have a point on the mainland, and a lot of news is difficult to circulate. The dumb man has the ability to explore the cave and make a detour with his two fingers, and your line of work is boiling, so it is not difficult to determine the identity, he is our patriarch. But the rest, but it can't be found, and it is rumored that you are dumb brothers who have died. So I came to you this time to try my luck, and I was disappointed at first, but now it seems that the rumors are true. ”
