Chapter 14: Memories Chapter 14
Inside the hut, Lin Xiao looked at Lin Tian's longing eyes and said, "Tian'er, I know what you're thinking. [Ran^Text^Library] It's not that grandpa is hiding it from you, it's just that grandpa doesn't want you to follow in your big brother's footsteps!"
"My eldest brother?" Lin Tian looked at Lin Xiao with some differences: "Grandpa, I still have a big brother, how is he now?"
Lin Xiao was silent, and Lin Tian looked at Lin Xiao's somewhat reddened eyes, as if he understood something.
"Could it be that he has ......?" Lin Tian was a little stunned, and his voice trembled a little. Lin Tian couldn't ask anymore, he guessed that his family had let Lin Xiao bring him here because of unavoidable reasons, but he didn't expect that the first thing Lin Xiao mentioned to him about the family was bad news.
"What's my eldest brother's name, and what happened?" Lin Tian asked, staring at Lin Xiao.
In terms of Lin Xiao's cultivation and age, there shouldn't have been strong mood swings, but when it comes to what he is about to say, he can't control the excitement in his heart. Lin Xiao closed his eyes for a while, took a deep breath, looked at Lin Tian and said, "Your eldest brother's name is Lin Hao, and he is an unborn genius! ”
Lin Xiao's gaze moved away from Lin Tian's body and looked into the distance with some confusion. Lin Tian didn't speak, and stood quietly beside Lin Xiao.
"There are four superpowers on this continent, or rather, controlled by these four superfamilies. They are: the Lin family, the Ye family, the Lei family and the Leng family. After a pause, Lin Xiao continued: "The strength of these four families is among the best, and every year there will be some friction that leads to the young children of each family fighting. But no one family's children will steadily overpower the others, and the elders of each family are also refraining from letting things develop into an uncontrollable situation. Over time, an unwritten rule has been formed that elders are not allowed to participate in the conflicts of juniors. But the birth of your eldest brother broke that rule......"
"When Lin Hao was born, the sky was thundering, but the sky was full of red clouds. Hehe, this phenomenon has appeared in other families before, maybe it is slightly different, but no one cares, only that there is a genius in the Daolin family who is about to be born. The Lin family was jubilant, and we, the older generation, were also very happy. There are successors to the Lin family, and we can also retire leisurely, hehe. Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Lin Xiao's face, a smile from the heart. The corners of Lin Tian's mouth also curled slightly.
"Lin Hao has been diligent and hardworking since he was a child. At the age of 15, he had already broken through to the realm of innate martial artists, and at the age of 20, he broke through the realm of spiritual martial arts and obtained the title of martial king. Then Lin Hao went out to experience and returned to the family after 5 years. When he came back, we elders couldn't see what he had reached. Lin Hao became a little silent, only saying that he had found his own opportunity, and he could hide his cultivation from others to see it. Seeing that he didn't say anything, we didn't ask again. ”
"The four major families will unite to hold a competition every ten years, and some first-class or second-rate families and forces will also come to participate, and the four major families will not refuse, and good seedlings will be brought back to the clan for cultivation. Of course, there is a quota for these first- and second-rate families and forces. Lin Xiao said slowly: "Lin Hao didn't participate in the last martial arts competition, but three years after he came back, the ten-year martial arts competition started again. Lin Hao signed up this time, but what we didn't expect was that he applied for the supreme group. ”
Lin Xiao was immersed in the memories, and although Lin Tian was puzzled by some of the contents, he did not interrupt Lin Xiao.
"28-year-old Supreme, there has never been such a person in hundreds of years. Some old guys didn't believe it, and some people went to Lin Hao to ask him. But Lin Hao just said that it was okay, he was measured, so that everyone could rest assured. At this time, everyone also believed Lin Hao's words for the time being. ”
"The Lin family and the Ye family have intermarriages, so the relationship is still harmonious, and there is basically no conflict between the children, but it is not very friendly with the Lei family and the Leng family. As he spoke, Lin Xiao's voice slowly cooled down: "There are not a few children of the Lin family who die in the hands of the Lei family and the Leng family every year, and of course, the Lei family and the Leng family have lost a lot. Every time in a martial arts competition, as long as they meet the children of the Lei family and the Leng family, both sides do their best to kill each other, and there are not many who can get out of the ring alive. Although the Lin family and the Ye family can be said to be in-laws, in order to ensure that their children do not have accidents, they are only spectators, except for a few children of the Ye family who will fight with the Lei family and the Leng family, most of them will not participate in it. ”
"The tournament lasted for one month, and all the major families were injured. But in this year's martial arts competition, the Lin family's losses were greater than before. This tournament was held by the Lei family, and we thought that there would be a problem, but no one expected this result. Lin Xiao smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and continued: "There were casualties in the Lin family during the audition, and since then, Lin Hao has not said a word. Lin Hao started from the audition and went all the way to the finals of the Supreme Realm, as long as he met the children of the Lei family and the Leng family, none of them could get out of the ring alive. ”
Hearing this, Lin Tian was a little excited, and said softly: "That's it, the one who killed him, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead." ”
Lin Xiao looked at Lin Tian's actions, smiled, and continued: "The opponent Lin Hao faced in the finals was the son of the Lei family, Wu Zun, who was already supreme ninefold. Everyone was a little worried about Lin Hao's safety and wanted him to give up the game, but Lin Hao still walked directly into the ring. ”
"The fight was so intense. Lin Xiao sighed with emotion: "No one thought that your eldest brother Lin Hao would be able to confront the Supreme Ninefold at the age of 28, and he would not fall behind." ”
"And then, who won?" Lin Tian was a little stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lin Xiao expectantly.
"Hehe, of course your eldest brother won. Lin Xiao looked at Lin Tian with a smile and said, "When it was white-hot, everyone also understood that Lin Hao was at least a Supreme Eightfold Martial Venerable, or had reached the Supreme Ninefold Realm. Lin Hao slowly took the top, and the people of the Lei family couldn't sit still, and wanted to make a move, but I stopped them. At the same time, I also contacted the people of the Ye family, hoping that they could help us pay attention to the Leng family. Fortunately, this time the Ye family did not refuse. ”
As he spoke, Lin Xiao's face slowly became gloomy: "Everything is unpredictable, no one would have thought that the people of the Lei family and the Leng family would be so despicable." When Lin Hao was about to win, two masked black-clothed men suddenly rushed up from the audience, and they had already attacked Lin Hao before we could reflect. The people of the Lei family took this opportunity to jump out of the ring and admit defeat, but Lin Hao would not let him leave alive, this person's hands were also stained with the blood of the children of the Lin family, and no one from the Lin family escaped from him in the ring. ”
Lin Hao resisted the attack of the two men in black and killed the people of the Lei family, in fact, if the people of the Lei family did not run but fought back, then Lin Hao's situation would be even more ugly. Speaking of this, Lin Xiao took a deep breath, "The two men in black tried their best to kill Lin Hao, but Lin Hao's speed was suddenly more than doubled, even so, your eldest brother was still injured." ”
Sighing, Lin Xiao continued: "When the people of the Lin family saw this, they all rushed to the ring in a hurry, but when they approached the ring, they were stopped by the people of the Lei family, and the people of the Leng family also went over to make peace with the people of the Lei family. When he was about to fight, Lin Hao's voice came out, he asked everyone not to be impulsive, he could solve it. ”
"I confronted the head of the Lei family and asked them why they did this, don't think that this is in the territory of the Lei family, and the Lin family will be afraid of them. Lin Xiao smiled coldly and said: "As a result, since the despicable Lei family said, 'This is a martial arts competition, I don't know what is going on with the two people on the stage, since they want to compete with your family Lin Hao, let them fight, our big family can't chill the hearts of those disciples." If Lin Hao admits defeat, or rolls out of the ring by himself, I don't think those two people will continue to fight. ’”
"'Grandpa, it's okay, don't worry. At this time, Lin Hao said to me. I glanced at him, only to see him nod, I controlled myself, but if Lin Hao had an accident, I would be the first to rush up. The people of the Lin family slowly suppressed their anger, but no one could see that these people were all ready to rush forward at any time. ”
The Lin family is worried, the Lei family and the Leng family are sneering, and the Ye family is watching from the wall. Then it's time for the ring. Hehe, as the competition progressed, everyone's faces gradually showed surprised expressions. It turned out that Lin Hao's real strength was not the eightfold or ninefold martial arts that everyone guessed. It is the Lingwu Venerable who is known as the invincible of the same rank in the Supreme Realm. ”
"Lingwu Venerable, 28-year-old Lingwu Venerable! The children of the Lin family cheered, the Ye family was stunned, but the Lei family and the Leng family were silent with gloomy faces. The two people who rushed into the ring wanted to run, but it was too late, and since Lin Hao had exposed his strength at great risk, he would definitely not let these two people escape. ”
At the end of the competition, the Lei and Leng families left the competition venue without saying a word, and the Ye family came to congratulate them and went back to their own residence. Lin Xiao was silent for a while, "Out of the arena, I know that this is not a place to stay for a long time, Lei and Leng will definitely not let Lin Hao go back alive, otherwise no one in the younger generation will be his opponent." A hundred years, maybe not a hundred years, the Lei and Leng families may not only be the younger generation, but even the older generation of people will be Lin Hao's opponents, and no one can say what the result will be. The Lei family and the Leng family will never let this happen, although the Ye family and the Lin family are in-laws, they will definitely not help the Lin family escape, and it will be good if they don't interfere. ”
"Hehe, as I guessed, when we were about to walk out of the Lei family's territory, we were stopped by the Lei family and the Leng family. Fortunately, the Ye family didn't fall into the well......" Lin Xiao said with a wry smile, then closed his eyes and frowned tightly.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, don't say anything you don't want to say. Lin Tian looked at Lin Xiao's appearance, although he wanted to continue listening, he didn't want to see his grandfather suffer like this.
Lin Xiao looked at Lin Tian, chuckled, and said, "Hehe, it's okay." It's been a long time, but it's still a little sad to think about it again!"
Lin Xiao said it easily, but Lin Tian felt a strong aura of grief and indignation permeate this hut.
"'Grandpa, you go quickly, I'll stop you. They're here to kill me!' Knowing that the people behind him were chasing and killing us, Lin Hao immediately told me. Seeing that he was already about to rush up, I quickly stopped drinking, wanting him and a few elders to lead the clan to go first, but he couldn't move. The Lei family and the Leng family saw us like this, and they were not in a hurry to do it, I knew that they were only fighting the vanguard, and there would be a large group of people coming later. I hurriedly ordered a few elders to take the clansmen who came here to compete first, and they couldn't all be lost here......"
"'Do you think we're blatantly coming here and will let you leave?' The leader of the Lei family looked at us and said coldly, 'Hehe, it's a dream. I'm not surprised that they didn't intend to let us out alive. Lin Xiao's face was calm, but his voice was still cold, "I, Lin Hao, and an elder of the Lin family stood together, and the clansmen behind them were slowly retreating. There were more than a dozen people who came in a hurry to intercept us, and the leader of the Lei family looked at us mockingly, and ordered the people behind him to do it, regardless of life or death. ”
"In order to let the clansmen of the Lin family behind us leave quickly, the three of us began to fight desperately as soon as we fought with them. If we really let these dozen people intercept us, within a moment or three, the people behind will come, and then we will really not be able to leave. ”
"Maybe they didn't expect us to fight hard at the beginning, and we had already wounded a few of them before they were stunned. In the fierce battle, our two old guys forcibly improved their strength with secret methods, bloody battle, I haven't had this kind of experience for a long time!" Speaking of this, Lin Xiao took a deep breath.
"Lin Hao's combat power is really strong, and the invincibility of the same level is really not said with his mouth. Hehe. Lin Xiao sighed with emotion, "The Lei family and the Leng family also left in a hurry, and the dozen or so people who came were not Sage-level powerhouses. Although another elder and I used the secret method to improve our own cultivation, we are still one step away from the Sage. ”
"The battle ended quickly, there were no forcible kills to intercept these people, time did not allow. We turned around and left, but before I could take a few steps, I felt someone sneak attack behind me, and then I passed out......" Speaking of this, Lin Xiao's chest was rising and falling rapidly, and he could see that he was trying to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Grandpa......" Lin Tian looked at Lin Xiao with a worried face, and shouted softly, since he was a child, he had never seen Lin Xiao in this situation.
After a long time, after taking a deep breath, Lin Xiao said again: "Bastard thing, since you dare to do it to me!"
"When I woke up, I was already in the family, and I asked the elder who brought me back what was going on. He told me that Lin Hao knocked me unconscious and asked him to bring me back, but Lin Hao himself turned around and rushed back in the direction of the Lei family and the Leng family chasing us. The elder who brought me back told me that Lin Hao had used secret methods to raise himself to the level of a sage, so he was relieved to bring me back. I also relaxed a little when I heard this, and then I became worried, the Lei family also has a sage, and it is in the territory of the Lei family, Lin Hao ......"
"Then the elder told me that the patriarch had already sent someone out to look for Lin Hao. Hehe, Lin Tian, the patriarch of the Lin family is your father. ”
"Father?" Lin Tian muttered, since he was a child, he just envied others for having parents, but he didn't, and now when he heard Lin Xiao talk about his father, he couldn't react.
"After a while, none of the people who went out to look for Lin Hao came back, and then we felt that something was wrong. Did something happen? Everyone waited silently. And you were born at this time. ”
"Your birth instantly shook a thousand waves. The vision of heaven and earth when you were born was a hundred times better than that of Lin Hao. The Ye family couldn't sit still. ”
"Hmph!" Lin Xiao snorted coldly, "What a big battle." The Ye family, the Lei family, and the Leng family came at the same time, and brought back a group of people who went out to find Lin Hao, threatening us to force him out with the lives of these people if we don't hand over Lin Hao and you. These people who dared to come to the Lin family's territory today didn't think that they would be able to go back alive, even if they fought hard, they would greatly hurt the vitality of the Lin family. ”
"Originally, we were thinking about letting the old ancestor go out, but we found that the old ancestor was no longer in the clan at some point. Lin Xiao said expressionlessly, "The people of the Lei family have solved our confusion, hehe, it turns out that after knowing that Lin Hao was missing, the ancestor had already gone out to look for it in person, but on the way to find it, he was stopped by the ancestor of the Lei family and the Leng family, and at their level, one person alone could not stop the other party." ”
"The children of the Lin family don't have a bad seed, so let's fight! It's tragic, the three major families attack one family......" Lin Xiao paused, sighed, and continued, "After all, this is in the territory of the Lin family, and the children of the Lin family have suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the people of the three families have also lost. ”
But in the face of the continuous support of the three families, the Lin family was already exhausted. And at this time, your eldest brother Lin Hao is back......"
"My eldest brother, he ......" Before Lin Tian finished speaking, Lin Xiao waved his hand and stopped Lin Tian's words.
"Yes, your eldest brother is back. No one knows where he came from. The people of the family were all furious when they saw Lin Hao's appearance, and they were about to continue to rush up and fight with the three families of Lei, Leng, and Ye, but they were stopped by Lin Hao. Lin Hao walked to the front of the family, turned around and bowed down to us, and said, "Lin Hao, an unfilial descendant, is ashamed of the family and his parents. Today's affairs are all because of me, and I Lin Hao will bear it alone! Don't let the Lin family shed any more blood and sacrifice for me. ’”
"Lin Hao got up, ignored our dissuasion, and shouted angrily at the three families of Lei, Leng, and Ye, 'Let go of my brother, leave the Lin family, and I'll go with you.'" But no, they have to take you with them. Two lines of tears flowed from Lin Xiao's eyes, "Lin Hao was furious, the people in the family still wanted to fight hard, but they were stopped by the patriarch and asked your mother to hand over your stand-in." Lin Hao took a deep look at your father, turned around and left, and the three families of Lei, Leng, and Ye followed. ”
"Your mother is in a coma, and your father has left your mother in our care, while he goes to arrange the affairs of the clan. When we settled your mother, we learned that your father had only hurriedly explained a few words about the family matter, and then disappeared. We know he's gone to you. ”
"Three days later, your father came back alone, and just said, 'I didn't find them, but they won't die!' and then he hid in his room alone......" Lin Xiao paused here and then continued.
"The previous battle had greatly damaged the vitality of the Lin family, and some first-class families in the Lin family's area began to move, always wanting to take the Lin family's place. Hehe, these rat-eyed guys, think that the current Lin family is what they can shake?hmph!" Lin Xiao sneered, "To provoke the majesty of the Lin family, you have to pay a corresponding price, destroy a few families who dare to shout, and finally let them calm down." After the two wars, the Lin family is not as good as before, in order to prevent accidents, your father arranged some people in the family into several waves. Your Uncle Lin Fengyang is one of them. ”
Lin Xiao touched Lin Tian's head, "Decades have passed, and it is said that time can dilute everything, but everyone knows that Lin Hao's matter has always been a heart disease in your father's heart." ”
"Your name was given by your father, and it is called 'Lin Tian'. Haotian, Haotian! In memory of your brother, and in order to remember you. Your mother put a piece of jade on your chest and told me it would protect you. There are only two such jade pendants, one for Lin Hao to take, and one for you. They knew that Lin Hao was not dead, it was because of this jade pendant. I don't know why. Lin Xiao smiled bitterly, looked at Lin Tian, and said, "Originally, I just wanted you to live a stable life like this, but it seems that it can't be done." Hehe, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Since you have decided to go to the path of a martial artist, you must be mentally prepared, it will be a thorn along the way......"
