Chapter 21: Pretending to be forced to be grassed

"There is also an explanation at the end of Article 10 of the clan rules, as long as the gambler is willing to hand over all the gambling money to the Ling family, not only does not need to be punished, but must be rewarded according to the amount. This supplementary provision is from the third generation of the Ling family, and it was his desperate struggle that won back the lost family business of the second generation of ancestors at the gambling table. When the little nephew came home that day, the first thing he did was to hand over the gambling coefficient to his father, and if the uncles didn't believe it, they could check the family ledger. ”

Ling Shouzhiden was shocked, his tall and straight body staggered a few steps, and his face turned pale when he boarded. As for Ling Fan, a cloud of resentment rushed out of his throat in his chest, turning into a bloody boss.

400,000 taels of silver, just handed over to the family without care.

You know, the family ledger is shared by everyone. This means that the 400,000 taels of silver were thrown into the water by Ling Xiao, a loser.

No, not a loser!

He did this, but he suddenly said it today, obviously trying to stab himself.

In an instant, everything that had happened in the past few days had flashed in Ling Fan's mind, and his mind at the moment had never been clearer than ever.

From the beginning of gambling, Ling Xiao's words and deeds, to today. All of this was like pearls, which Ling Fan wore into a string with a rope.

"This guy did it on purpose! He did it on purpose! He, he ...... It's so hateful!"

Ling Fan wanted to say it out loud at this time, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and his heart became more and more hateful, and he spat out blood. The true qi that had been cultivated for more than ten years had dissipated with the essence and blood.

The matter has come to this point, and the old four families have lost face.

Not only did he lose face, but he also lost his lining. 400,000 taels of silver didn't fall from the sky, not to mention the spiritual sand that both sides deliberately concealed.

Ling Shouzhi can be said to have lost his wife and broken his soldiers.

But the existence of 400,000 taels of silver greatly attracted the rest of the branches.

Ling Shoujin, who was ranked ninth, suddenly said: "Since Ling Xiao is so sensible, what else can we say? In my opinion, it is common for young people to be ignorant, as long as they know that their mistakes can be corrected, they are very good." Why bother with giving young people a chance to correct their mistakes?

"Lao Jiu has a point. ”

"Yes, Ling Xiao, this kid is still good, the prodigal son won't change his money, give this kid a chance." ”

The nine sons of the Ling family, who were still standing like statues just now, suddenly three people were fighting to persuade them.

Ling Shouzhi's whole body trembled, he naturally knew why. Lao Jiu is the poorest of the nine sons of the Ling family, and when they hear that the 400,000 taels of silver are in the public account, they are still not moved?

However, Ling Xiao, this kid, also handed over the silver to his father, although it was a public account, the right to use it was in Ling Shouxin's hands. In this way, the Ling family is not in a hurry to curry favor and sell well?

What he can understand, Ling Xiao naturally understands in seconds. First, showing an innocent and shy smile, Ling Xiao bent down and bowed: "Thank you uncles, but the little nephew thought about it for a long time just now." Speaking of gambling, the little nephew has indeed done a lot of wrong things over the years. It's not just gambling, it's about visiting green houses. There are also lollipops that flirt with women from good families and snatch children...... Hey, too many to count. On weekdays, I didn't feel it, but when I heard the fourth uncle's remarks, I felt like thunder, and the whole person suddenly brightened. I just think that people like me still have to be severely punished, and I have to set an example for my brothers, otherwise what face will I have to take over the Ling family in the future?"

Ling Shoujin was shocked, and his mind was in chaos. Ling Xiao's words made him feel like a **.

worked hard to defend Ling Xiao's waste, but people didn't appreciate it at all. That's it, but to increase the punishment? This is no longer an ordinary **, this is a big fool!

Pure!

It suddenly dawned on me, after so many years of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, I almost killed my grandfather, you didn't understand. But you have comprehended the words of the fourth child, and it is so thunderous and suddenly enlightened, you kid can still speak idioms!

Do you still want to take over the Ling family? With a waste like you, who is barely on the second floor of the condensation stage, you still want to take over the Ling family?

It's not crazy, what's it?

As soon as he thought of this, Ling Shouxin felt that his brain was really broken, and he actually defended such a big fool. So he silently took a few steps back and hid himself deep in the crowd.

Not to mention him, the other two are eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

For a while, the hall was embarrassed for a long time, and no one spoke.

Everyone was stunned by Ling Xiao's superlative.

However, Ling Xiao himself still didn't feel anything, and said to himself: "You say, how much should a person like me be sentenced? If you cane punishment, a thousand sticks is not enough." Anyway, I also have merit, if a thousand rods are beaten down, my small physique can't bear it, isn't it too cruel to be beaten to death?"

When Ling Xiao said this, he approached Ling Shouzhi intentionally or unintentionally, and asked in a deliberative and innocent tone.

Ling Shouzhi really wanted to say that he was not cruel, Lao Tzu didn't mind personally executing it, and if he didn't kill you, I would be raised by my little mother. But the existence of the 400,000 taels of silver public account made the rest of the brothers ready to move, they would definitely not support themselves, but wanted to curry favor with Ling Shouxin. Ling Xiao took advantage of the loopholes of the clan rules again, leaving him with an empty torture hall, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing Ling Shouzhi's distorted face, Ling Xiao only felt comfortable all over his body, touched his chin, and frowned again: "I read a book a few days ago, which said that the heavens will descend on the people, and they will suffer their minds and starve their bodies...... I can't remember the following. Anyway, that means suffering, so I decided to apply for the family criminal law, and in order to make up for the ridiculous things I did in the past, let me go to the water prison, ten days is not enough, how about a month?"

The old nine of the Ling family, who was deeply hidden in the crowd, burst into tears at this time.

This thing is really bad in the brain, and it is very hard to work hard, the water prison is from the cold spring underground, cold and biting. Not to mention Ling Xiao's waste, even if he continued to cultivate at the seventh level of the condensation stage at this time, it would not be comfortable.

A month, not to mention starving his body, it is a miracle to be alive.

"Are you sure?" Ling Shouzhi felt that he was going to speak at this time.

"Pretty sure!" Ling Xiao nodded vigorously.

"Old Five, do you see?" Ling Shouzhi faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't see anything wrong with this matter.

"Don't ask my dad, I'm in charge of this. Ling Xiao turned around and glanced at his father. Ling Shouxin obeyed his son's words, and although he was anxious, he also nodded stubbornly.

"In that case, I can't stop it. Ling Shouzhi finally showed a jerky smile and said, "Although I have never heard this kind of request...... But since you are so pleading, as an elder, you cannot be stopped from doing good. A month is a month, and it starts tomorrow. ”

Ling Xiao suddenly interrupted: "No, I'll go to the water prison tonight." ”

Ling Shouzhi's smile almost condensed on his face, and he secretly said in his heart that since you kid is looking for death, Lao Tzu can't stop it. Waving his hand, he said, "Then it's up to you." ”

The family meeting was so over.

Back home, Ling Shouxin stomped his feet anxiously. Without waiting for him to speak, Ling Xiao leaned on his ear and whispered, "Don't worry, I did it on purpose." A few days ago, when I was sleeping, a white-bearded old man suddenly appeared at the head of the bed, he said that my bones were strange, and a spiritual light erupted from the heavenly spirit cover, and he had to accept me as an apprentice. I slept so drowsy that I didn't answer, and the old man left a secret book in my head when he left. ”

"Divine thoughts?" Ling Shouxin was taken aback, it was not an ordinary person who could use his divine thoughts to imprint in his mind, this was the legendary master of the Tianyuan Realm!

"I don't know, but I've been messing around these days. The old man asked me not to tell anyone else, but Dad, you're not someone else Hehe, that cheat seems to be called Cold Ice Palm. I need to cultivate in the cold spring to have an effect, otherwise how could I take the initiative to go to the water prison?"

Ling Xiao casually said a mantra of a few hundred words.

Ling Shouxin only listened to the beginning and knew that this was a secret book of genuine value, far exceeding the exercises used by the Ling family to build a foundation. Hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Ling Xiao's mouth and said, "Be quiet, since that senior has told you, you can practice by yourself." At Dad's age, it is not convenient to change the exercises. The seniors asked you not to tell others, and you didn't say it to your father, this is a great opportunity, don't miss it. Practice hard, maybe your predecessors are testing you. ”

After a few glances left and right, Ling Shouxin carefully took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and said, "There are thirty solid qi pills here, I bought them with great difficulty, you take them, and they are just used in the water prison." Don't waste good things, five hundred taels of silver a piece, if it weren't for your kid getting a vote, even I wouldn't be willing to eat it. ”

After thinking about it, he wanted to take out the spiritual sand again, but Ling Xiao strongly refused, and finally persuaded his father.

"I'm cultivating now, the solid qi pill is just right, the spirit sand is too effective, and it's not good to use too much. It's you, put aside the affairs of the family this month, cultivate hard, and strive to enter the eighth layer of the condensation period, so as not to let grandpa always scold you for being useless. I also showed other uncles and uncles, my father is not a vegetarian either. ”

His son's command made Ling Shou's confidence sour, and he nodded again and again.

When he saw Ling Xiao walking out of the courtyard alone, Ling Shouxin still couldn't hold back his tears.

The Ling family has three forbidden places.

Water prison, ancestral tomb, martial tower.

The water dungeon is specially used to punish family members and enemies, and the underground cold spring introduced inside contains a strange cold qi that is difficult for cultivators below the Earth Yuan Realm to resist.

In the ancestral tomb, the head of the Ling family has been enshrined for generations, and the things that accompany the burial are priceless.

As the name suggests, the martial arts building houses all the martial arts of the Ling family. In addition to the most basic martial arts such as the Broken Jade Fist, there are hundreds of more advanced martial arts, and there are even Xuan-level martial arts.

These three forbidden places, even if they are the heirs of the Ling family, are usually difficult to approach.

Back then, the strange fragments that Ling Xiao found in the ruins were vaguely related to the forbidden land. It's just that at that time, the entire Ling family was in ruins, and he wasn't sure where the fragment was. Now there's just a little bit of fumbling to look for.

Of the three forbidden places, the water dungeon is the easiest place to enter.

And the cold ice palm he said is indeed true, not to deceive his father. However, it was a martial art that he cultivated in the Qingyun Gate, and it was a third-grade martial art that could only be cultivated after the Earth Yuan Realm, and at this time, it was only the second layer of the condensation stage, and he had no qualifications to cultivate at all.
