Chapter 32 The Ma Family Father and Son
In an inconspicuous empty room where he usually lived for the coachman's handyman, Shi Ziling had been in a coma for seven days and seven nights. His posture was always the same, lying on his back facing the sky, his left hand stretched out in his arms and holding the "Dead Night Token" tightly, no matter how he pulled it, he couldn't pull it away.
The little maid who rescued him on the way had come to see him twice, and each time he saw him sleeping soundly, except that he could not pull his hand away from his bosom, there was nothing unusual about it, so he shook his head and left, going about his own business.
The reason why Shi Ziling slept for so long was because this time his mental power was overdrawn and greatly exceeded the limit of what he could bear.
"Soul dementoring**" is a kind of mysterious method to discover the spiritual power of the human body, even if the average person is talented, to accumulate enough to affect the spiritual power of others, the amount is less than a few years, and it takes more than ten years or even decades to achieve a small success.
Even if a sect leader like Kato Taka has learned and grown up in many methods of the Demon Sect since he was a child, he will not be able to practice "Soul Dementor" until he is old.
Although Shi Ziling's body contained extraordinary energy, which greatly improved his physique, and he suddenly lost his memory for some reason, so that he could make rapid progress with half the effort when cultivating spiritual power, his foundation was still relatively shallow after all.
His opponent Chen Zhongda this time was more powerful than the last Shentu Ganglai, and because of the rescue of Ma Yu before the two fought, Shi Ziling's meridians were violently shocked by the combined force of Chen and Ma, so that the true yuan in the body could not be completely normalized and operated.
In desperation, Shi Ziling reluctantly used the seventh layer of the Soul Dementor Kung Fu that had not yet been practiced and matured, although he was lucky enough to win a move, but it also led to a serious overdraft of his spiritual power. If you are someone else, even if you don't die, you will definitely go crazy because of this.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Shi Ziling always firmly grasped the magical "Dead Night Token", and used the magical magic in the token to maintain the endless vitality of the spiritual power and true element in his body.
These seven days and seven nights, in Shiziling, will be a difficult reincarnation of resurrection, if you can survive it smoothly, not only can you be reborn, but your spiritual power and true yuan will go to a higher level, and once you are disturbed by external forces, you are likely to go crazy, and you will never be able to wake up.
Fortunately, in this place where Shiziling was rescued, everyone was only busy with their own affairs, even the two women who rescued him forgot about him because they were busy with their livelihoods.
If it were in the Su family or elsewhere, and there would be a master or famous doctor who would help him to diagnose and treat him, it would make him fall into the abyss from which he could never recover, let alone run into an enemy or opponent.
And in these seven days, there is also an undercurrent surging in Songhu City.
On the second day of Su Gongzi's banquet for Shi Ziling, because Shi Ziling did not return overnight, the Yu family was inevitably a little anxious, and when they were about to send someone out to find out the news, Ma Yu, the son of Ma Daima, one of the guards in the city, went to visit Yu Zhengmiao's mansion, in order to naturally thank Shi Ziling for saving his life.
Although Yu Zhengmiao has been taking care of the family business in Songhu City, he has never had anything to do with the Ma family, and it was very strange to hear that Ma Yu brought a lot of gifts to the door, so he hurriedly came out to greet him in person.
Ma Yu fought with Chen Zhongda yesterday, which can be described as a near-death death. He was very grateful to Shi Ziling in his heart, and he brought a generous gift to thank him early in the morning.
After some greetings, Ma Yu directly inquired about Shi Ziling's absence, hoping to thank Shi Ziling in person.
Yu Zhengmiao could only tell the truth that Shi Ziling had not returned since he went to Su Mansion for a banquet yesterday, and they were about to send someone out to inquire about the news.
Ma Yu was very surprised when he heard this. Yesterday, Shi Ziling pushed him away with a palm when he was about to burst his meridians, and for this end, he and Chen Zhongda combined the impact, and then Ma Yu has been in the corner with his eyes closed and pranayama. Since he was not injured, he recovered quickly.
Later, Chen Zhongda used the technique of "bear hugging and killing" to gradually force Shiziling into a desperate situation, seeing that Shiziling was about to lose, Ma Yu was suffering from inferior skills and couldn't get started, but fortunately, at the critical moment, Chen Zhongda suddenly became confused and in a trance, and was inexplicably defeated by Shiziling.
Although Ma Yu couldn't see through the mystery, he was also very happy for Shi Ziling.
After that, Shi Ziling turned around and brushed his sleeves away with an unhappy face, no matter how the Su family brothers and sisters kept it, they didn't look back.
The rest of the guests felt very bored, and before a good banquet started, they were messed up by Chen Zhongda, a beast.
Chen Zhongjian and Chen Zhongping knew that the third brother of Lu Dao was angry, and apologized to everyone again and again, while Chen Zhongda was unlocked by Su Zhirou Yungong, but he still seemed to be in a trance, and from time to time he would shout "Master" out of thin air, which made people confused.
His two elder brothers were worried, apologized to Su Songyi repeatedly, and then left with Chen Zhongda's farewell. The rest of the people were also very interested in this trouble, and after saying goodbye to their masters one after another, they went back to their respective homes.
Su Zhirou was the most disappointed, she wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Shi Ziling, a mysterious figure who suddenly rose, but she didn't expect to be fooled around by her beast brother who she hadn't seen for a long time, and she almost killed her.
Although there was no danger in the end, Shi Ziling suddenly brushed his sleeves away angrily to Su Zhirou's surprise, and couldn't help but hum softly from his mouth: "Stingy ghost ......"
Su Songyi, who was on the side, understood his sister's mood very well, and said innocently: "It's all because of that Chen Zhongda, it's inexplicable, and it's no wonder that Shi Gongzi is angry." However, it did seem a little stingy for him to leave like this, and Lang spent a good banquet on the table, and he ......
"By the way, you seem to have called that beast a senior brother just now? Could it be that he is also a disciple of your Ruyi Sect? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Su Zhirou glanced at the eldest brother and said, "What to mention, what is there to mention this kind of senior brother." The next time I see Master, I must sue him well, I'm angry......"
After Ma Yu left Sufu and returned home, he told his father Ma Dai everything that happened that day. Ma Dai's status in Songhu City is equivalent to Chen Gongzhao, he is also one of the guards, and he is also the right and left hand of Su Bairen, the city guard, and his ranking on the top 100 list is one place higher than Chen Gongzhao.
However, Ma Dai and Chen Gongzhao have always been at odds with each other, which is also an open secret in the city, but the two are still quite polite in public, and they never thought that Chen Gongzhao's son would dare to kill Ma Yu in Su Mansion.
Ma Dai has many daughters, but only Ma Yu has one son, who has been doted on him since he was a child. After hearing what happened to Ma Yu today, Ma Dai was so angry that he was about to go to Chen Gongzhao to theorize, but was persuaded by Ma Yu.
Ma Yu thinks that Chen Zhongda's strength is only above Chen Gongzhao, and the implication is that Ma Dai is only afraid and may not be his opponent. Although Chen Zhongda was defeated by Shi Ziling today, he still had the upper hand on the scene.
Besides, the reason why the Chen family dares to be so arrogant is probably for other reasons. According to the information from the Duanmu family, the Chen family has secretly maintained contacts with Li Yuan in the west and the Xiahou family in the north, and it is estimated that there must be some scheme.
After listening to Ma Yu's analysis, Ma Dai finally calmed down a little bit of anger, and discussed countermeasures with his son.
Ma Dai said: "Then should we inform Master Su of Chen Gongzhao's secret contacts with the two great families, and also sue him for his son bullying you in front of Lord Su?"
Ma Yu shook the folding fan lightly, shook his head again and again, and said: "Don't be in a hurry, now the world is in chaos, and all the major forces have recruited troops and horses, and have dramatically expanded their forces, especially the five major families." Chen Gongzhao secretly colluded with Li Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, the two major families, even if Master Su knew about it?"
"You must know that the current court is crumbling, and many local officials are working independently, secretly cultivating their own power, and the five great families are rich and powerful, which is the object of their competition. I don't think Master Su would do anything to Chen Gongzhao even if he knew the truth. ”
"As for what Lord Su plans to do in the future, we don't know yet, but it's nothing more than two ways: standing on his own or swearing allegiance to the imperial court. No matter which way he goes, Master Su will not easily give up Chen Gongzhao's power. So, I don't think it's necessary to file a lawsuit. ”
"Besides, although Chen Zhongda showed a strength higher than me today, in my opinion, he is just a reckless man, not to mention that he has suffered a little loss because of the appearance of Shiziling. If Su Zhirou hadn't made a timely move, Shi Ziling would have almost wasted his skills on the spot. ”
"By the way, Su Songyi and I have always been good friends, and I know that his sister is a proud disciple of Ruyimen, and today Su Zhirou once called Chen Zhongda a senior brother. Inferring from this, Chen Zhongda is obviously also from the Ruyi real person, no wonder this guy is so powerful. ”
Ma Yu continued to talk calmly.
Ma Dai was also taken aback when he heard that Chen Zhongda was a disciple of Ruyi Zhenren, when the group of heroes rose together, although the Duanmu family in the east, the Xiahou family in the north, the Nangong family in the south, Li Yuan in the west and the Tang family in the middle were the most powerful, but when it came to personal strength, it was not the patriarch of these five families who were the strongest.
Among them, only Li Yuan, the leader of the Tongtian Sect in the west, ranked third on the top 100 list, and although the patriarchs or elders of the rest of the families were also extraordinary, none of them could enter the top five of the strongest, and some even failed to enter the top ten.
Among the top five top masters, in addition to the highly respected Yuan Shi Tianzun and the kendo master Gongsun Auntie, there is this Ruyi real person Fang Nameless.
Legend has it that this Fang Nameless Fang Zhenren Tianzong Genius, not only proficient in the authentic Yin and Yang Five Elements Dao Method, but also cultivated the "Way of the Beast" of the partial door, this person has a strange personality, flickering good and evil, calling himself "Nameless Scattered People", acting as he pleases, and every time he surprises.
Fang Wuming has entered the top ten in the United States many years ago, and has been ranked in the top five in the past ten years, and after he founded the "Ruyi Gate", he taught disciples, and many of them were children of famous families. Although the quality of these disciples is uneven, in general, there are still many young masters who come from his disciples.
Ma Dai couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard that Chen Zhongda was from Ruyi's sect and was likely to inherit the mantle of Fang Wuming's "Way of the Beast".
He can not be afraid of Chen Gongzhao, but he can't help but have scruples about a top master like Fang Wuming. If you annoy this strange-tempered wishful real person, it is indeed a big trouble. Ma Dai frowned unconsciously.
Of course, Ma Yu understood his father's intentions, and after discussion, the two decided to inform the local Duanmu family first, and then try to win Shi Ziling, a young man born out of nowhere, to join their camp.
Shi Ziling was able to defeat Chen Zhongda, who inherited the mantle of "The Way of the Beast", although the victory seemed to be a bit of a fluke, but it was enough to show his strength. What's more, the person who can have such strength is likely to come from a certain famous faction, and it is obviously imperative to win over Shiziling.
In fact, the Ma family has been discussing with the people of the Duanmu family recently what talents should be recommended to compete for the position of deputy general. The Shiziling mentioned by Ma Yu after returning from the Deyi Building that day aroused everyone's interest, and there are very few young masters who can be regarded as opponents by Ye Zhenzhen, and this Shiziling must have its own uniqueness.
Sure enough, today Shi Ziling showed his strength at a critical moment, and defeated Chen Zhongda, who was as crazy as a beast, which once again confirmed Ye Zhenzhen's vision.
Although Shi Ziling did not accept the Ma family's recommendation to him to compete for the position of deputy general, he did not refuse, but just said that he wanted to see the Yu family. Today, Shi Ziling came to the rescue of Ma Yu, obviously offended Chen Zhongda, and the Yu family behind him also offended the Chen family.
The Yu family is just a small squire in Pan'an County, with no power or power, and there are no great masters except for Shi Ziling, and the consequences of offending the Chen family are very bad. Although they have Shi Ziling, Shi Ziling seems to be only one line higher than Chen Zhongda. In any way, the Yu family is unable to compete with the Chen family.
From this point of view, in order to protect themselves, the Yu family is likely to be willing to stand on the side of the Ma family, so it is completely reasonable for the Yu family to agree that Shi Ziling will come forward to compete for the position of deputy general on behalf of the Ma family.
After the Ma family's father and son discussed, they decided that Ma Yu would bring a generous gift to the Yu family the next day, first, to thank Shi Ziling for saving his life, and secondly, to state the pros and cons to the Yu family, so that they could recognize the situation and form an alliance with the Ma family to fight their common enemy Chen Gongzhao.
It was Ma Yu who came to Yu Zhengmiao's house early this morning, but what he didn't expect was that Shi Ziling had not returned since yesterday.
