4. The past is like smoke, and the Ming Dynasty returns to its original heart

Pain, piercing pain, Li Ling has never experienced such pain since he was born, as if his whole body was about to fall apart, drops of cold sweat slowly flowed down his cheeks, but from beginning to end, Li Ling never frowned.

Suddenly, the old beggar behind Li Ling sighed and said, "Alas, it's finally done!" You kid, it's really worry-free! If it weren't for the old beggar's three-legged cat kung fu was quite passable, you kid would have to go to see Lord Yama! But you kid still has a few hard bones, the kind of heart-piercing pain in the healing process just now is not something that ordinary people can bear, but your kid didn't even frown, he is a man! The old beggar likes! ”

It turned out that after the old beggar escaped from Nanping with the seriously injured Li Ling, he immediately found this sparsely populated dense forest to treat Li Ling's injuries. In Tianxiang Pavilion, Li Ling was extremely angry and killed, and a terrifying force erupted in his body, killing Li Tong, Yuexian and others on the spot, but Li Ling didn't know any martial arts, and the killing was all based on anger and the blood-red true power in his body. After calming down, under the impact and destruction of the domineering true force, Li Ling's body was already full of holes. Then, the old beggar did not hesitate to damage his true yuan, risking a lot of real power to repair the seriously damaged muscles and veins in Li Ling's body, and finally saved Li Ling, who was dying.

At this time, Li Ling was leaning against a big tree, his face was extremely pale, but there was a tenacious vitality in his eyes. Suddenly, Li Ling asked lightly: "Is there any wine?" ”

Hearing Li Ling's words, the old beggar rolled his eyes and scolded: "What did you say? What do you want? Wine? You really don't take yourself seriously! You are so badly injured and want to drink, you really can, the old beggar has obeyed you. I thought that when you woke up, you would be looking for death and life, but looking at the current situation, you should be fine, right? ”

Li Ling turned his head to look at the old beggar opposite, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the old man!" ”

"You can still laugh? You...... You...... What shall I say about you? The old beggar said hurriedly.

"Oh? I don't laugh, do you want me to cry? ”

"At least you should be a little miserable, you know, your brother Li Tong is dead, Yuexian is dead, everyone in the wing room is dead, even your country, your Nanping country has also been destroyed, Nanchu has annexed all the cities in Nanping, and now, you have nothing...... Shouldn't you be miserable, shouldn't you be sad? ”

Listening to the old beggar's narration, Li Ling's eyes changed several times in the middle of the journey, but they were all fleeting and there was no trace. After the old beggar finished speaking, Li Ling looked up at the sky and sighed.

"Yes! The country is broken, the family is dead, the relatives are dead, there is nothing, I should be in pain, I should cry, but why can't I cry? Li Ling's words were full of sourness, what kind of mood this was, maybe only he could understand.

Suddenly, Li Ling turned his head to stare at the old beggar and asked slowly, "Old man, tell me, should I cry?" Isn't it painful? One day, I can regain my strength, take my own army, kill back to Nanping, defeat Nanchu, recover Nanping, and then be the master of Zhongxing of the Nanping Dynasty, and then show my ambitions, conquer the north and the south, unify Kyushu, and become the emperor of the ages admired by everyone, right? ”

Hearing this, the old beggar could not utter a word. But at this time, Li Ling shook his head and continued to speak.

"Old man, I know that you are for my good, but Li Ling has his own choice, and if Nanping is destroyed, it will be destroyed, which may not be a good thing for me. In the past 20 years, I have been burdened with the identity of the prince of Nanping, watching the ruthless struggle in the palace, the suspicion of father and son, the cannibalism of brothers, and the deceit, in the end, the father is not the father, the son is not the son, the king is not the king, the minister is not the minister, and some are just killing, these ...... I'm tired of it! I'm really tired of it! The imperial throne is just a passing moment for me, and from the beginning, these are not what I want! Isn't it just right now? Nanping is gone, the past is gone, I can start over, start my own life again, a life that truly belongs to me! ”

After listening to Li Ling's words, the old beggar sighed and said lightly: "Yes, maybe you are right!" But the hatred of the country and the family, how can I say that I can let it go, I admire you a little now, if my old beggar can have half of your mind, maybe I won't live so tired, in this life, there are some responsibilities that you want to let go of, you will understand in the future. ”

"Maybe! But it's all your choice! People will always face a lot of choices in their lives, and once they choose, there will be no regrets! Now, forgetting the past and starting over is my choice! From today on, I am no longer the Nine Emperor Princes of Nanping, Li Ling is just Li Ling, Nanping is already in the past, and Li Ling in the future is just an ordinary person, lying sideways to welcome the sunrise, watching the sunset with drunken eyes, and living this life plainly, this is Li Ling's wish. ”

"Well said! Lying horizontally to welcome the sunrise, drunk to watch the sunset, if my old beggar is also idle in the future, I will go to you, we will drink together, welcome the sunrise together, watch the sunset, it is really a great pleasure in life! ”

"Okay, if the old gentleman can come, Li Ling will definitely treat him with the best wine!"

After that, the old beggar looked at Li Ling on the other side with a smile, nodded, and said, "Originally, I thought that you would be depressed after this blow, but now it seems that you not only did not give in, but on the contrary, you have been reborn, which is really gratifying." ”

"Before I was twenty years old, I was burdened with my own identity and destiny, and I also wanted to go my own way, but God didn't allow it! On that day, Yuehua died for me in Tianxiang Pavilion, which made me understand that people cannot always succumb to the arrangement of fate, and should rely on their own beliefs and use their own hands to win a tomorrow that truly belongs to them. The past is like smoke, everything in the past will become history, and Li Ling in the future is the pursuit of returning to his heart. ”

"Good, good! At a young age, you can have such a feeling, know how to pick up, and how to put down, and in the future, the future is immeasurable! The old beggar has been in this world for decades, and he has not had an epiphany before you, what a shame! Well, young man, the old beggar has made you a friend! With that, the old beggar took out a golden token from his bosom and threw it to Li Ling on the other side.

"Today you have a new life, of course, it is gratifying, but life in the world always needs a foothold, if you encounter a trouble that you can't solve one day, take out this order, it may be able to help you!"

Li Ling looked at the golden token in his hand, but the center of the token was engraved with nine golden dragons.

"Old man, you are ......"

Without waiting for Li Ling to finish speaking, the old beggar's face suddenly became serious, and then he said solemnly to Li Ling: "Boy, I won't hide it from you!" On the way to bring you here, the old beggar has been thinking about whether to save you, because in your body, there is an extremely terrifying and strange power, and it is precisely because of this power that you can use such a terrifying move in Tianxiang Pavilion to kill Li Tong and the others. But you have to understand that this force is unusual, it is extremely aggressive, and it is not the power of the righteous path. In the future, you have to control your emotions carefully, and don't let this power explode again, otherwise it will bring you unimaginable consequences. ”

Hearing this, Li Ling's eyes were full of doubts and incomprehension.

"I know that you don't know anything about this power now, but in the future, you will slowly feel its existence, and if one day, when you can harness this power, you must not do anything wrong. If you do anything that harms the people, even if you are thousands of miles away, the old beggar will surely catch up with you and kill you to thank the world. As he spoke, the old beggar's face turned cold.

Seeing this, Li Ling smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, old man, Li Ling will remember today's grace." However, what the old gentleman said was too unbelievable, Li Ling just wanted to live an ordinary life, and would never endanger the people in the world. However, one day, as the old gentleman said, Li Ling is difficult to control the power in his body, and if he really does something that everyone is angry with, Li Ling is willing to die under the hands of the old gentleman! ”

When the old beggar heard this, his face gradually warmed, and then he continued to instruct: "Boy, listen to the old man's advice, the ring on the middle finger of your right hand is by no means an ordinary thing, and when I heal you, I can feel that the ring contains endless resentment and anger, which echoes with the power in your body, and is really the source of evil!" But I found that it has long been connected with your blood, and now, I can only go with the flow, and everything can only be on your own! Remember, go back to your heart and take love as the foundation! Don't regenerate obsession, otherwise, the demons will enter the devil's way, remember, remember! ”

"Li Ling remembered, thank you for mentioning it!"

After finishing speaking, the old beggar laughed for a while, and then said briskly: "Okay, when I see you today, it's all fate, fate originates and dies, let it be!" Boy, if you meet again in the future, the old beggar will definitely ask you for a glass of wine, hahaha......"

After that, I saw the old beggar's figure move, and he flew away, only to see the figures in the air moving continuously, as fast as lightning, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Suddenly, Li Ling shouted in the distance: "Old man, I don't know what your name is?" Old gentleman......"

At this moment, a heroic voice was heard in the air.

"The thunder outside the Nine Heavens appeared, and the dragon god shook Kyushu! Goodbye, boy, do it yourself! ”

Listening to the old beggar's message, Li Ling pondered repeatedly, and said in his heart: "The thunder outside the Nine Heavens appeared, and the dragon god shook Kyushu!" What exactly do these two sentences mean? Alas, fate arises and dies, let it be, why should I be persistent! ”

At this time, Li Ling suddenly looked down at the black ring on the middle finger of his right hand, and then frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Ten years ago, when I was a child, on the edge of a cliff in the royal hunting ground, I saved Mr. Dugu, who was seriously injured and dying, it is precisely because of this that Mr. Dugu promised to keep me safe in the Nanping Palace for ten years, it is because of Mr. Dugu that the chronic poison in my body can be eradicated. Later, at the end of the ten years, Mr. Dugu left the palace, and when he left, he gave me this black ring! Could it be that this ring is really the source of evil? Why did Mr. Dugu do this? He saved my life, and if he wanted to kill me, why bother so much and give me a ring? Or maybe there is something else hidden in this matter! ”

Thinking of this, Li Ling slowly stood up, his eyes full of doubt, but after a while, Li Ling's eyes regained their original vitality and firmness.

"Regardless of whether the ring is the source of evil or not, since I, Li Ling, have decided to be reborn, I am not afraid of the obstacles of the world, since the ring has been connected to my blood, even if I want to abandon it, it will be too late, what the old gentleman said is right, everything is fate, let it be!"

With that, Li Ling raised his head to look at the afterglow of the sunset, and then slowly walked into the distance.
