Chapter 45: The Aftermath of the Trial

Staring at the eight black horizontal bars around the yin-yang diagram behind the little guy, Zhang Zhenren was speechless in surprise. This is obviously the Bagua symbol! One long horizontal bar represents yang, and two short horizontal bars represent yin.

It's just that the gossip symbols behind the early morning haven't all appeared, and they gradually fell apart in the process of spinning, and finally even the Taiji diagram dissipated without a trace, and the little guy rolled his eyes, passed out, and lay directly on the ground.

Zhang Zhenren couldn't be surprised, put away his aura, and the huge yin and yang diagram behind him also dissipated with the wind. His long black and white hair fell over his shoulders, and he slowly walked over to the little guy and picked him up.

"You little bunny, you have brought me so many surprises. In the middle stage of foundation building, he was able to use the 'Transformation God' that only martial artists in the late stage of the Condensing God Realm could use, although it had not yet taken shape. But you can do this at a young age, it seems to have something to do with your own unique bloodline. ”

The old man stared at the little guy with the mottled blood on his face and muttered softly. Then he found a flat boulder and put down the unconscious little guy in his arms, and wiped the remaining blood stains on the other party's face with his sleeve robe.

"Master, cough, Master. Have I passed the trial?"

In the middle of the old man's wiping of the bloodstains, the little guy suddenly woke up, and the first thing he said was to ask himself if he had passed the final trial.

"It's over, when you're resting, the good boy can go down the mountain. ”

The old man's hand wiping the blood trembled slightly, and with a kind smile, he replied to the little one.

"That's good. That's good. ”

Ling Chen continued to mumble these words, and then fell asleep. Zhang Zhenren was comforted, and after wiping the blood stains on the little guy's face, he picked it up again and walked down the mountain.

At this time, on a mountain peak not far away, the short old man saw the whole process of the trial, and until now he was still surprised, and Zhang Dacheng's mouth in the shape of "0" has not been closed.

"Grandpa, what are you looking at?"

A crisp and sweet voice suddenly came from behind, and a girl in a light blue dress covered a bamboo basket full of various herbs around her waist, and appeared beside the short old man with an excited face. When she saw her grandfather's surprised expression, she asked directly in confusion. After all, it was the first time she had seen her grandfather show such an expression.

"No, nothing. ”

The short old man came back to his senses, replied to his granddaughter perfunctorily, the surprised expression on his face was put away, and turned into a very strange expression, and he walked down the mountain without looking back. The girl on the side looked puzzled, but she didn't ask anything, just obediently followed behind the old man.

When the little one woke up again, it was late at night. Wood burns on the side of a stone fire that occasionally makes a crackling sound. In the early morning, I wanted to get up, but I felt that I was sore and couldn't move.

"Are you awake?"

Zhang Zhenren, who was meditating with his eyes closed not far away, heard the sound, opened his eyes and spoke.

"Yes, wake up. It's just that my whole body is sore and I can't get up. ”

The little guy tried to get up again in vain, so he had to give up and answer the old man helplessly.

"Hahaha, this is the sequelae of detachment, it's normal. ”

Zhang Zhenren laughed and picked up the roast chicken that was kept warm next to the fire and mated with banana leaves. He originally wanted to use lotus leaves, so that the taste of roast chicken would be more beautiful, but unfortunately in winter, he couldn't find lotus leaves, so he had to use banana leaves instead.

"Hungry, are you? Eat something. Don't be reckless, feed you for the teacher. ”

After speaking, Zhang Zhenren pinched a piece of warm roast chicken with two fingertips and sent it to the little guy's mouth, chewing it in the early morning, with a satisfied expression on his face.

"After eating, take a rest and wake up tomorrow without much trouble. ”

After feeding a few pieces of roast chicken one after another, the old man looked at the little guy and said with a smile.

"That's good. By the way, Master, now that I have passed the final trial, what should I do next? Will you still be by my side?"

In the early morning, he suddenly remembered something and looked at the old man.

"Then you can go to your mother and do what you want. As a teacher, you can't be by your side, you have to go by yourself, and you can't rely on others. ”

After feeding the roast chicken on the banana leaves, Zhang Zhenren got up and stopped looking at the little guy, because he didn't want to see the reluctant and sad look on Ling Chen's face, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to let go of his apprentice and would not be able to do anything else.

"By the way, when it comes to this, there is something I have to tell you clearly. ”

"In the Ancient Star Kingdom, because of your father's affairs back then, your surname may cause unnecessary trouble. If you walk in the country of the ancient star in the future, it is best to use a pseudonym. ”

Zhang Zhenren turned his back to the little guy and talked about the worries in his heart.

"My last name?"

Ling Chen was puzzled at first, and then remembered that his mother had told him about his father being a "traitor", and he had the answer in his heart.

"Yes, your father Ling Dingtian was framed by traitors back then, and the previous emperor ordered him to be a 'traitor' and mobilize the whole country to arrest him. I don't know exactly what to do. All I know is that your father died in the end, and the Ling clan related to your father suffered, and no one survived. If you use this name, once you become famous and known to those traitors, they will not only surprise you by means of finding out your origin, but also cause unnecessary trouble. You are not yet full-fledged, and you have no chance of winning against them. ”

Zhang Zhenren turned around and said sternly.

"However, I don't want to change my name. When my mother gave me this name, she told me that she hoped that I could bring a new light to the world like the morning sun. Although I still don't understand the meaning of this name, this name has my mother's expectations for me, and I don't want to change my name, even if the future is difficult and difficult. ”

Ling Chen thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and refused.

"Well, that's it. I know that your temperament is the same as your mother's girl, that is, stubborn! If you don't want to change your name, you don't want to change your name, and as a teacher, I know that you will refuse. I thought it would be different to scare you, but I didn't expect it. ”

Zhang Zhenren waved his hand, not knowing whether to be happy or helpless.

"I thought of another way for the teacher, after you leave the village, go to Yunmeng Town, there is a martial arts sect in the town, called 'Xiangyun Sect', which belongs to a branch of the Ling family, because it is far away from the imperial city, so it was not affected by the events of the year. I have repaired a letter, and you have taken it with you. Although this sect has nothing to do with the Ling family now, but now that the head of the sect has received my favor, you take me to write a letter and worship the sect to practice for a period of time, and if you go elsewhere in the future, if the traitor finds out your origin, you should be able to get away with it. ”

took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Zhang Zhenren in the early morning, and for some reason, he inhaled and sighed, looking melancholy.
