I didn't see Qiu's mother for a few days when he came out of the firewood room, Qiu Zihan cried and made trouble, begged and searched, but he couldn't find Qiu's mother, every time he asked Qiu's mother where she went, different people would give different answers.

"Your mother, she went to a far away place."

"Your mother is right next to you."

"Your mother, she had to leave this house for you."

"It's all because of you that your mother will leave."

"Your mother? She went to hell. ”

The days passed, Qiu Zihan gradually lost hope of finding his mother, but that night, his mother seemed to have evaporated from the world, Qiu Zihan also let go of this obsession, he began to yearn for the outside world, those chic and happy people who run the rivers and lakes, they must be very free, he grew up in this villa since he was a child, he has never been outside before, and he was told that he can't go outside in the future, his life's mission is to protect the cold sword, but he didn't want to do this, and finally he mustered up the courage to make a request to his father.

"Father, the child has grown up, I ...... I want to go outside and see how other people live. ”

"What?" Qiu's father was shocked, and hurriedly closed the doors and windows: "You are a big rebel, don't tell anyone else in the family what you say, you were born with your own mission, do you know?" ”

"But the child really doesn't want to be trapped here for the rest of his life, what does that sword have to do with the child? It's your adult business, I never said I wanted to participate, and you didn't give me a choice! ”

"As a member of our family, you were born without a choice! Do you think I didn't think that way back then? You've got a life of fine food and clothing, and now you're longing for freedom! People can't be too selfish! ”

"Then I'd rather give up such a life! You can't stop me! As long as I live for one day, I will not stop thinking about the outside world! ”

Qiu's father's face turned purple, he raised his hand, trembling but not fighting. Qiu Zihan knelt on the ground, not showing a trace of fear.

"Do you know what your mother has done for you?" Qiu's father's chest trembled uncontrollably, and he sat down on the ground.

"When you were ten years old, you broke into the forbidden land, your cultivation was too low, which aroused Linglong's violent nature, it wanted to use you to release itself, Linglong's demagogic power is almost irresistible, once it is chosen, you can only be reduced to a tool, there is only one way to die!"

"But wasn't the matter settled later?"

"Linglong is an ancient fierce sword, if it riots, how can we mortals stop it? At that time, you broke into a catastrophe, no one in the clan is willing to take responsibility for you, your mother is not ignorant of these things, she loves you too much, she simply lost her mind, she listened to the ancient legend, as long as there is a woman who sacrifices to save the person she loves, Linglong can fall into a deep sleep again, she ran to the forbidden land alone in order to save you, and died with Linglong's heart, she ...... She hadn't even thought about what to do if it didn't work! Qiu's father, who has always been strong, couldn't help but shed tears at this time.

"Why, how can this be?" Qiu Zihan was shocked, lying helplessly on the ground, his face was pale, perhaps because he was so sad that he couldn't shed a single tear.

"The reason why I didn't tell you before is that I and your mother didn't want you to grow up in pain, and I didn't want you to carry such a big burden since you were a child, so you just left, are you right about our ancestors, and you are right about your mother's sacrifice for you?"

"This, this is impossible, mother, mother must still be in the forbidden land, I'll go find her!" Qiu Zihan was unwilling to accept the reality, he got up from the ground and rushed out of the door in a frenzy.

"Rebel, you come back to me! Your mother has long been integrated with Linglong...... There is not even a corpse ......" Qiu's father was helpless like a child at this time, he leaned on the corner of the table, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "Finally, I still told him, child, mother, you are in the spirit of heaven, you must forgive me......"

Qiu Zihan rushed out of the mansion and went straight to the forbidden land, he had never been here since that time when he was a child, because he was afraid of causing trouble to the clan again, but he had dreamed of this road more than once, so he arrived very smoothly.

He stood in front of the stone gate, and after a while, he broke the forbidden spell set by the clansmen, and broke in, the sword was still stuck straight in place, and in an instant, it seemed that Linglong also felt his coming, and his body exuded a dark red light, and the sword body trembled uncontrollably, and it was intended to be unsheathed immediately.

"You killed my mother! I'm going to ruin you! He slashed with the best sword he had taken from his clan, but was bounced away by a strong pressure, and after repeated attempts to no avail, he ran up to the altar, pulled out Linglong with all his might, and roared in a heart-rending rage, "Aren't you trying to manipulate me? Aren't you trying to bewitch me? Come on! ”

"I will not let you succeed no matter what, I will attach myself to you, haunt you forever, and stop any of your actions forever!"

Exquisitely unsheathed, it broke away from Qiu Zihan's palm, and the blade of the sword was aimed at Qiu Zihan's neck, as if to say: "To deal with me, you are still too tender." ”

Just when Qiu Zihan closed his eyes in resignation, ready to reunite with his mother in the underworld, Linglong's sword body trembled violently, it seemed to be forced to return to the altar, Qiu Zihan knew that this was his mother protecting him, and his voice couldn't help choking: "Mother, mother, Zihan is wrong, don't you take responsibility for me, okay, Zihan is willing to sacrifice himself, come back, the child knows that you are not dead, Zihan begs you." ”

I don't know if Qiu Zihan's words distracted the sword spirit in the sword, it moved forward and retreated for a while, and it was never able to return to the altar.

After a struggle, the original sword spirit in Linglong prevailed, it sprinted over, the two forces acted at the same time, and Qiu Zihan's jaw began to draw a wound that extended to the lower abdomen, the knife edge was very sharp, it simply did not hurt the vital point, it was not fatal, the blood stains quickly spread on Qiu Zihan's clothes, and when he fell, his whole person seemed to be dressed in red, and the moment before closing his eyes, he seemed to see his mother smiling at him, and Linglong also returned to the altar.

By the time Qiu's father and the others arrived, it was already pouring rain in the sky, and Qiu Zihan was unconscious in a pool of blood, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't have time to put away.

……

"Later, I was left with this scar." He lifted his collar and pointed to Ying Zhen: "My knife wound healed quickly, but the wind and cold left by the rain did not heal for a long time, in the end, it was the doctor who used the herb I picked for my mother to heal me, and later, my father told me that my mother kept the herb carefully, because she knew that this herb could not cure her at all, so she wanted to stay, but in the end, it was used on me, I think, she must be protecting me." ”

After listening to his story, Ying Zhen's heart fluctuated, Yin Yin is such a sad story, but he told it so easily, it seems that this memory left him is really only his mother's good to him, he can live so wanton and happy now, the exercises are strong, and his heart is still full of enthusiasm for life, Ying Zhen is really happy for him, this is what his mother wants to see.

"I don't know why I seem to have an indescribable connection with Linglong, maybe it's because I know that my mother is inside, and I am reluctant to destroy her, on the contrary, I practice diligently next to her every day, and I don't dare to relax, I hope she can see it, and if there is anything on her mind, I will also tell Linglong, because I know that my mother can also hear it. By chance, I heard that Lingyun Gate had various documents that recorded the ancient sword seals, so I quietly took Linglong to participate in the Lingyun Gate entry competition alone, hoping to find a way to rescue my mother. ”
