At this time of year, Ling Tian would come to this tower and stand in front of it for a long time, just like he had done on this day many years ago after he had decided to send his youngest son away.

He witnessed the demon spirits in the tower turn into charms one by one, crawling all over his younger son's body and melting into his son's body.

For this seal, the four spirits tried their best to lock the demon spirit into the spell of the four elephant seals, when the tower spirit broke out of the tower, the energy emitted was enough to make the heaven and earth change color, only Xiao'er who was at the top of the tower still slept soundly, fortunately, there was a triple seal enchantment that had been prepared in advance, and the four spirits reluctantly sent the tower spirit into Xiao'er's body.

Now that the Town Spirit Demon Tower is no longer worthy of its name, it has become a building, when Ling Tian saw those spirits screaming and being imprisoned in Xiao'er's body, he understood the true meaning of the so-called "container", this Town Spirit Demon Tower that has stood for thousands of years is just a container, and when this container is about to collapse, his youngest son has become its replacement.

After taking Ling Xiao away, the dove came back once, holding a baby boy in his arms and sending it to Ling Tian.

"In the future, he will be called Ling Xiao, and when the time comes, I will naturally reunite your father and son. ”

After leaving these words, Ling Tian never saw the dove again.

Although the Fire Spirit Dove made a promise to keep Xiao'er safe, Ling Tian had been worried about this son all these years, and the Zhenling Demon Tower had also become a sad place for Ling Tian.

"I don't know what that little guy looks like, he should be the same age as the third child. ”

Ling Tian muttered to himself.

Over the years, every time Ling Tian came to the Spirit Demon Tower in this town, the scene of his youngest son's birthday banquet came to his mind.

"The lord of the kingdom has arrived!"

Towards the end of the banquet that night, a guard's voice came from outside the door, and this voice contained spiritual power, so that the entire City Lord's Mansion could hear it but did not feel harsh.

The guests who were originally drinking and talking all stood up for a while, stood on both sides, and opened an avenue from the gate to the welcome desk, Ling Fei didn't know when he had appeared on the stage, his eyes were facing the door.

"Ministers see the lord of the country!"

As soon as the visitor stepped into the general's mansion, everyone saluted in unison. Ling Tian also stepped down from the stage step by step and greeted the supreme power of the empire.

"Today is General Ling's happy day, so the gift of the monarch and the minister will be waived. ”

The person who came was not moved by the huge formation in front of him, but just looked at Ling Fei who was walking towards him with a smile.

"The minister didn't know that the Lord was coming, and he was far away!"

Ling Tian walked up to the person and bowed with his eyebrows lowered.

"I only brought one person with me this time, so why talk about it?"

As the lord of the Flame Empire, Yan Xi was not very interested in these complicated courtesies of monarchs and ministers, and even this time he came to the General's Mansion in civilian clothes, which was not even as gorgeous as the dress of any of the guests present. But in terms of aura, he overwhelmed everyone present, after all, he was the lord of the Flame Empire, and his every move naturally had the demeanor of an emperor.

"Alone?"

Ling Tian asked in surprise.

"I thought you couldn't guess it, that's right, it's the old man!"

After Yan Xi finished speaking, he turned around and bowed slightly to the person behind him.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

Ling Tian's mood couldn't be said whether he was a little more surprised or a little more happy. If it weren't for something important, it would be difficult for him to even see this teacher, and besides, when the eldest and second child celebrated their birthday, it didn't seem that this teacher was there, so was it really related to that thing to come in person this time? Ling Tian didn't dare to think about it.

"I heard that the apprentice is happy to have a son again, and he was entangled in important matters twice before the teacher, and this time he happened to be free, so he stopped by to take a look. ”

The dove's tone was as natural as possible, but no one could see through him under a fire robe, if it weren't for Yan Xi to show the identity of the dove, I am afraid that no one present would have noticed the existence of the dove, and it is estimated that they would only think that the one behind Yan Xi was just a personal guard.

"Oh, I wonder what kind of congratulatory gift the teacher brought this time?"

Ling Tian asked deliberately, to be honest, the possibility that the teacher would just come to congratulate him was very small, but if it was true, Ling Tian was a little flattered.

"It's just an occasional exercise. ”

The dove said lightly, and a seemingly ancient scroll had appeared in his hand.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, everyone present was moved, those guests who were originally a little drunk suddenly sobered up, their eyes lit up, as if the dove was not holding a worn-out scroll in his hand, but a peerless beauty, even Yan Xi, there was some longing in his eyes.

If an ordinary strong man took out a volume of such exercises, Yan Xi might not have such a reaction, but who is this person in front of him, the fire spirit, the head of the four spirits, how many people have thought that they can get his guidance, even if it is a move and a half, but now the dove has taken out a set of exercises, and it is very likely that it is his own exercises, which is equivalent to a treasure, unlike ordinary treasures, this treasure is not wealth, but strength!

Compared with the scroll in the dove's hand, those guests who were originally indignant because of their congratulatory gifts, natural materials and treasures were thrown away as garbage now think that TM should be thrown away as garbage!

"Then the student would like to thank the teacher. ”

Ling Tian took the scroll in the dove's hand with a smile on his face, but he didn't think about what this exercise was that could make people go to heaven and earth, but everyone present didn't think so, the teacher's exercise for his beloved disciple could be sent there, since the scroll was taken out from the dove and handed it over to Ling Tian, everyone's eyes never looked away, and they were thinking about how to get this exercise from Ling Tian when the banquet was over.

You must know that the existence of a high-level exercise may revitalize a declining family, especially in Kyoto, a place where there are many families, how many families have declined not because of lack of financial resources, but because of the lack of powerful family children, but getting a suitable exercise for the family means that when fighting with other families, how many families have fallen because of a struggle, and how many families have risen because of a practice, which shows the significance of the existence of high-level exercises in a family.

"What about the little guys? ”

The people around him don't care what they think when they see this exercise, if he doesn't feel the breath of the Holy Spirit, he won't come to Kyoto, he just wants to make sure that his feelings are not wrong, if his youngest son is really the Holy Spirit descended, then it is impossible to just use it as a "container" to seal the demon spirit.

"In Mei Niang's room, I'll take you there. ”

Ling Tian suddenly had a bad premonition.

"No, I'll go over by myself, you greet the guests first. ”

There was some excitement in the dove's eyes, he might be about to see the legendary person who came to the world with the Holy Spirit, so how could he not be excited, even the great spirits of the past generations may not have seen the Holy Spirit.

"Innate spiritual power, you kid is hiding a lot. ”

The moment he passed by Ling Tian, the dove suddenly transmitted a message to Ling Tian.

Ling Tian's expression froze, and then he returned to normal, but all this was still seen by Yan Xi.

"General Ling, is something wrong?"

Yan Xi asked with deep meaning.

"It's nothing, the teacher is such a strange person, since the lord of the country is here, then I have to entertain well. ”

"Haha, General Ling is polite, how can I say that I am also a junior disciple of the elder, today is your big day again, you and I will put aside the gift of the two monarchs and ministers, today we are going to have a good drink!"

"Then please take a seat in the inner court. ”

"Okay, good, General Ling is really refreshing!"

......

After about an hour, the guests completely dispersed, and Ling Tian personally sent Yan Xi back to the palace before returning to the mansion, at this time the banquet had all been withdrawn, and the general's mansion was quiet again.

"Squeak"

Ling Tian pushed open the door and saw Mei Niang sitting at the table waiting for him to come back, and the youngest son on the bed was sleeping soundly.

"Haven't slept yet?, what about the teacher?"

Ling Tian was a little uneasy.

"The teacher asked me to pass on a message to you, and he was waiting for you in that place, as if he was in a hurry. ”

"Well, I see, you rest early, I'll go over now. ”

Before Ling Tian's feet could step into the door, he turned around and left.

Mei Niang sighed lightly, she didn't understand what her husband was bearing, but she couldn't do anything.

"Teacher. ”

When Ling Tian came to the Town Spirit Demon Tower, the dove had been waiting for a long time.

"It's coming. ”

The dove did not turn around, but took off his robe, and his long, dark red hair danced in the wind.

To be honest, Ling Tian didn't dare to look at himself as a teacher head-on, because he was so handsome, he was already an "old monster" in his hundreds, but his appearance was still that of a teenager, and he looked a little younger than himself, which really made Ling Tian a little embarrassed, but Ling Tian also knew that his strength had reached the realm of a dove, and his appearance could only be described as a demon.

"I don't know why the teacher asked me to come?"

Ling Tian forcibly calmed himself down.

"Are you still playing stupid with me?

The dove said in a deep voice, and when he first touched that little guy, he understood in an instant why Ling Tian was hiding it from him.

"Could it be that Xiao'er is the 'container' we are looking for?"

"That's right, but I didn't expect the Holy Spirit to come down to your son. ”

The dove smiled bitterly.

"When did you sense it?"

"Yesterday at noon. ”

"Yesterday afternoon?"

If Ling Tian remembered correctly, that was when the youngest son opened his eyes.

"Is it only him?"

Ling Tian struggled to control himself, but his voice still trembled slightly.

"That's right, maybe this is his fate, you hide it from me, I don't blame you, since the Holy Spirit has chosen him, it must be him, and it can only be him!"

The dove's expression was more serious than ever.

"Let me try, I am the one you have chosen, I must be able to, he is so young, how can he take on this?"

Ling Tian's voice trembled even more.

"Nonsense!"

The dove shouted sharply, with a wave of his arm, Ling Tian had already flown upside down several feet away, the dove was really angry this time, he didn't expect that the disciple he had personally cultivated would have such an irrational time.

When he first met Ling Tian, Ling Tian was still a teenager, the spiritual power had just awakened, the family fell into strife, and the younger generation of the Ling family was slaughtered, at that time Ling Tian was played by more than a dozen middle spirits of the enemy family, and the dove thought that this child would be intimidated by those spirits, but even if Ling Tian was defeated by the enemy over and over again, he rushed forward with the blood-stained broken sword over and over again, and finally wanted to detonate the original spiritual power and die with these enemies, but fortunately, the dove stopped it in time, because the dove knew that even if this child did that, it would be useless, and he could not hurt those middle spirits at all。

Originally, the dove didn't care about this, it was nothing more than a struggle of interests between the families, not to mention sympathy, such a drama was staged every day on the Spirit Continent, but when Ling Tian was determined to die, the dove decided to take him away, and Ling Tian became the only survivor of the Ling family and a disciple of the dove.

"Where is that ruthlessness of yours more than ten years ago? To tell you the truth, even I can't suppress that thing, only the Holy Spirit. ”

The dove looked at Ling Tian who was kneeling on the ground with an indifferent expression.

"Teacher, I'm ......"

"You don't need to say much, I know what you're worried about, the Holy Spirit in his body plus the Four Elephant Seals can keep him alive without worry, the only price is that the spiritual power is sealed, and the sealed spiritual power is better not to awaken. ”

"When will it start. ”

Ling Tian's expression flew, and he said with determination.

"The sooner the better, the sealing power of the Demon Tower is getting weaker and weaker, and after the seal is finished, I will send him to a relatively quiet place. ”

Seeing Ling Tian like this, the dove was indeed a little unbearable, but he had no choice, in the end, he and Ling Tian fell into the same situation, but one was for the common people, the other was for the family, and no one was wrong.

"Before that, teacher, I hope you can erase all Mei Niang's memories of Xiao'er. ”

"Yes. ”

The dove sighed lightly, put on his robe, and turned to leave, leaving Ling Tian alone in silence for a long time......

When Ling Tian returned to the mansion, the lights in the bedroom had been extinguished, so he stood under a willow tree in the courtyard, looked at the full moon in the sky, and fell into contemplation......

This willow was planted by Ling Tian on the night he sent his youngest son Ling Xiao away, and now it is like a cover.

Ling Tian didn't know how long he had been standing under the cover of this night, since the night when the teacher took away his little son, Ling Tian had unconsciously developed the habit of standing quietly at night, standing for an hour or two, motionless, like a stake, for more than ten years, the concern in his heart for the little guy who was born for a few days has increased unabated, and he is in the prime of life, and he has added a few strands of gray hair.

"Thinking about it again?"

It wasn't until Mei Niang's voice sounded in his ears that Ling Tian woke up like a dream, and reached out to pull the robe that Mei Niang draped over his shoulders.

"Hey, it's been sixteen years, the children are adults, and I'm old, but you haven't changed at all. ”

Ling Tian gently took his wife into his arms and muttered.

"What kind of stupid thing to say, the dignified general dares to say that he is old?"

Mei Niang said angrily.

"Xiao'er is about to celebrate her sixteenth birthday. ”

Ling Tian asked as if he was asking.

"There are still a month and three days. ”

Mei Niang replied softly.

"Isn't there any sign of awakening?"

"What's the matter? It's not enough to have the eldest and the second?

Mei Niang actually had some blame.

"How come, to be honest, I really want Xiao'er to live an ordinary life. ”

Ling Tian understood that this sentence was meant for himself.

"But Xiao'er, this kid is very interested in the method of spiritual power cultivation, and he can't come out of the Tibetan Gong Pavilion all day long. ”

Mei Niang sighed softly.

"Then let him be, if he is just interested in the exercises, then it would be fine. I'm afraid that this kid is too obsessed with spiritual power. ”

"Okay, don't worry about the child's business, it's so late, go back to the room. ”

"Good, good. ”

Ling Tian said with a smile.

"If you want me to say that you have to change this bad habit!"

"How can habits that have been cultivated for more than ten years be so easy to break?"

The night is deep, and I will not sleep, and I will think about it for ten years.
