Aren't you an orphan, what else do you have? Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Lin Zheng paused for a moment, and his brain went blank.
"Lin Zheng, I am your uncle, that is, your mother's own brother. ā
Lin Zheng looked at Ning Yuanshan motionlessly, he finally knew where the strange familiarity just now came from, and he was clearly similar to this Hou Ye's appearance.
I am not an orphan, I have parents. This topic, which he never dared to mention to Uncle Hong, appeared in such a sudden way.
"He, where are they now. Lin Zheng didn't dare to ask his parents if they didn't want him, because he couldn't accept this answer at all.
"They're missing. Ning Yuanshan's face was heavy and he paused, "Or die." ā
"How so. ā
Why did I just know the news about my parents and get such a result?
Whether it is loss, sadness, or both, Lin Zheng himself can't figure it out.
"Actually, I want to know the answer, but I'm afraid the truth is only known to Ning Hong, and he is now..."
Ning Yuanshan didn't continue, looking at Lin Zheng's dazed expression, he knew that these things were too sudden for the young man to even accept.
"Can you tell me about them?" Lin Zheng's voice was a little low.
Hearing the young man's words, Ning Yuanshan began to tell the past of Lin Zheng's parents.
This lecture is more than an hour.
Lin Zheng finally had a certain understanding of his life experience.
His mother's name is Ning Wanrong, and she is the eldest lady of the Jinyang Hou Mansion. His father's name is Lin Xinghe. By chance, my mother rescued my father who was injured and unconscious in the suburbs. Although his father was rescued, he also forgot his identity. But these do not affect the love between the two.
For the combination of the two, the Hou Mansion also opposed it at first. But her mother has always been stubborn, and in the end, the Hou Mansion can only compromise. It's just that the mother already has a marriage contract, and for this matter, the Hou Mansion can only submit a request to withdraw from the marriage. Of course, the other party will not agree, but fortunately, although his father has amnesia, he has extremely strong power. In the end, the other party can only agree to withdraw from the marriage.
Such a thing may be inconsistent with etiquette and law in the eyes of outsiders, but Lin Zheng, who came out of Thunder Hell City, knows better that in this world, any rules are as fragile as a blank sheet of paper in the face of overwhelming forces.
It's just that the other party also made a request, that is, the two are not allowed to live in Jinyang anymore. This request is not too much, after all, the other party is a rare local big family, and the parents are tired of city life. So Lin Zheng's grandfather, the head of the previous generation, arranged a quiet valley for the two of them to live in in the field. At the same time, many guards were also sent to ensure the safety of the two. Uncle Hong was the leader of those guards back then.
The parents' residence was only one state away from Jinyang, and there were many correspondences on weekdays. But in the year Lin Zheng was born, there was a sudden change at the border pass, and the Northern Barbarian army went south. As the highest military force in Jiangbei Province, my grandfather and uncle Ning Yuanshan led the army to fight, and when they returned, the place where their parents lived had been razed to the ground by a fire. Not only did their family disappear, but even the guards became a mystery. Although the Hou Mansion has been investigating this matter for many years, there has been no result.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zheng came back.
Ning Yuanshan had no doubt about Lin Zheng's identity, not only because the other party told Ning Hong and took out the tag that Lin Xinghe had been wearing. The most important thing is that Ning Yuanshan felt the call from the blood in Lin Zheng's body.
"Zheng'er, do you have any plans for the future? Seeing that Lin Zheng had accepted the facts, Ning Yuanshan asked.
"I'm going to avenge Uncle Hong, and then I'm going to find my parents. Since Uncle Hong and I were able to survive back then, I believe that they will also survive. ā
Lin Zheng bit his lip, maybe it was just his wishful thinking, but he still chose to believe it paranoidly. Originally, he was not good at words, but in front of Ning Yuanshan, he had a desire to talk.
"I know it's difficult, especially the latter one. Uncle Hong took me to hide in Thunder Prison City for so many years, but he never mentioned the Hou Mansion and the things of that year. He wouldn't make such a move because he was afraid that he would be blamed, it must be because once the Hou Mansion was involved, it would only make this matter more complicated. Even said that the Hou Mansion could not solve this matter. Otherwise, Uncle Hong would not have let me return to Jinyang at the end. Looking at the expression on Ning Yuanshan's face, Lin Zheng said.
The young man's calm analysis of the matter made Ning Yuanshan somewhat surprised. He didn't expect Rong Niang's child to be so quick-minded, and this idea coincided with himself.
"If you can, please help me. Even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, I don't want to give up. ā
Lin Zheng got up suddenly and solemnly saluted Ning Yuanshan, his attitude was by no means fake.
He has never lacked determination to avenge Uncle Hong and find his parents. But he knew better that in his current situation, it would be incredibly difficult to accomplish these things. But now it's different, at least he still has something to rely on. It's just that he was still a little scared, afraid that because of Uncle Hong's identity as a guard, he was afraid that he would not come back many years later and would not be able to get Ning Yuanshan's help.
At this moment, Lin Zheng thought about all the worst possibilities. I couldn't help but show a determination in my eyes.
Ning Yuanshan helped Lin Zheng up, and his eyes showed approval.
"If I don't agree, I'm afraid you'll leave the Hou Mansion immediately. Looking at your current appearance, you are carved out of the same mold as Rong Niang, and you are so stubborn. Ning Yuanshan said with a chuckle, with the unique favor of elders on his face.
"Now that you've made your decision, of course I'm not going to stand in the way. I'll let Ningde arrange the relevant things. ā
"It just so happens that a year later, it will be the triennial enrollment of the Guozijian Martial Arts Academy. This is a rare opportunity. ā
Lin Zheng had a puzzled expression on his face, he had never heard of this place.
Seeing the young man's expression, Ning Yuanshan explained: "Whether it's going to Thunder Hell City to avenge Ning Hong, or finding your parents, these things are not something that ordinary martial artists can do. Although the Hou Mansion is in the early stage of your cultivation, it can provide some help. However, the cultivation above the martial arts sect, whether it is martial arts or exercises, I am afraid that it is only more suitable in the martial academy. The Guozijian Martial Arts Academy is the best place for martial artists to cultivate in Yan Kingdom, and only when you go there can you have a glimmer of hope to achieve your goal. I also came out of the martial arts academy back then, so I have my current achievements. It's just that before that, you have to reach the late stage of martial arts and master the internal qi, so that you can participate in the final selection of the martial academy. Do you have faith. ā
Ning Yuanshan didn't say that the Martial Academy only recruited disciples under the age of fifteen, and for Lin Zheng, there was only one chance in his life. And if you want to reach the late stage of martial arts within a year, or even master the internal qi, even if Lin Zheng is talented, plus the help of the Hou Mansion, the hope is not very great. Moreover, young martial artists who meet the standards must also go through layers of martial arts competitions.
In recent years, the number of children of the major families in Jiangbei Province who have broken through the late stage of martial arts to comprehend the internal qi has suddenly increased. Although I don't know what the specific reason is, it has invisibly increased the difficulty for Lin Zheng to enter the martial arts academy.
To be honest, whether it was going to Thunder Hell City or looking for his parents, in the eyes of Ning Yuanshan, who had come over, it was a bit unrealistic.
didn't tell the young man the truth, not because he and Lin Zheng had just met and had no feelings. On the contrary, this is his selfishness as an elder, and he prefers that Lin Zheng will live this life safely under his own care, rather than forcing himself again for the sake of the previous things. The experience of the teenager was too rough for him as an adult, and he wanted to make up for it. If there is anything that needs to be solved, it should be his elder.
Of course, Lin Zheng didn't know what Ning Yuanshan was thinking in his heart, and looked at the other party firmly.
"No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely become a disciple of the Martial Academy and become a real powerhouse. Return to Thunder Prison City to kill Batu, avenge Uncle Hong, and find his parents. ā
"It's good that you're determined. Although the Ning family is not as good as it used to be now, within a year, as long as you reach the late stage of martial arts, I will definitely help you get a Qi Cultivation Pill to help you condense your internal qi. As for the future, it's up to you. Although Ning Yuanshan had other ideas in his heart, he also knew that in the Star Luo Continent, no matter what he did, strength was the foundation of his life.
"Thank you. That's enough. Lin Zheng's eyes were moist.
For him, these months of wandering, eating and sleeping in the open are all trivial things, and what is even more unbearable is loneliness and loneliness. Ning Yuanshan's concern made him experience the long-lost family affection again.
"By the way, I see that you don't seem to have cultivated yet. Come over here, let me see. ā
Lin Zheng walked forward as he said. Ning Yuanshan stretched out his hand and began to knead Lin Zheng's body. At first, it was fine, but soon, the boy noticed that the strength in the other party's hands was getting stronger and stronger. It even made him want to cry out in pain.
After a long time, Ning Yuanshan stopped. The behavior just now was not a test of the teenager's patience. As a martial arts powerhouse, he was able to assess Lin Zheng's physical condition through the subtle instinctive reactions of the young man. And the final result was beyond his imagination. It wasn't until he increased his strength to the late stage of the martial arts that the boy's body reached its limit. This kind of result is too rare for a person who has never practiced martial arts cultivation to appear.
Although these do not mean that the martial arts road after the boy will be smooth sailing, at least in the martial arts stage, his entry will exceed ordinary people.
At this moment, Ning Yuanshan's heart was extremely complicated, and he also had doubts about the idea of letting Lin Zheng spend his life in peace just now.
Maybe the descendants of that man are destined to be extraordinary.
Lin Zheng didn't know that Ning Yuanshan had so many thoughts in a short period of time.
"By the way, you haven't met your mother yet. Ning Yuanshan suddenly turned around and took out a picture scroll from the bookcase, but didn't say a word about what happened just now.
'Mother!'
With excitement, Lin Zheng took the scroll.
Carefully opened, a fresh and refined woman stood on the edge of the lotus pond on the scroll. She was so beautiful, so gentle, that time seemed to freeze in that moment. The woman's appearance slowly coincided with the image he had imagined.
That's what it looks like, no, it's more perfect than you think.
Lin Zheng was immersed in his own dreams, and it was difficult to wake up for a long time.
"You put this painting away, and the tag, which your father wore back then, and if you have the chance, maybe you will be able to see them again. Ning Yuanshan said.
'Father!'
Lin Zheng held the painting in one hand and touched his chest with the other.
On this day, he got too much.
"Zheng'er, I still have to remind you that cultivation is a point of no return, and your choice will make it more difficult for you, and it will likely cost you your life. Are you really sure you still have to cultivate? Looking at Lin Zheng, Ning Yuanshan said.
Lin Zheng raised his head, with a rare relief in his expression.
"I'm more afraid of being alive than dying, and forgetting what I'm pursuing. ā
As he spoke, he suddenly smiled.
"Besides, I've already died once. It's really nothing. ā
