Chapter 8: Heading South
Ling Xingtui and Ling Bang Bun, the two daughters, hugged their younger brother Ling Zhen successively to express their deep and sincere gratitude, if there was no ninth brother, they would really be under house arrest by their pedantic old father Ling Pu, and they would never have the chance to see their sweethearts again in this life.
After saying goodbye to Ling Zhen, the two of them took advantage of the night to hurriedly leave the vassal king's mansion in the north of the dynasty and escape from the Tianshen Villa through the south gate.
The next day, Ling's mother Yao Ying blamed all the responsibility for secretly releasing her daughter on her head, Ling Pu was a little helpless, after all, it was his wife, and Yao Ying's health was not good, so it was not appropriate to be angry with her anymore, so King Ling simply chose not to reason with his wife.
Master Ling sent people to search for them as best they could, and ordered his subordinates to arrest the two Ling family ladies who had escaped no matter what!
Ling Zhen personally killed the undercover Ling Weiyuan, and his deeds soon spread throughout the entire villa, and everyone in the internal members admired Ling Zhen's young hero, first defeated the Nangong family, and then tried the undercover agent and cleaned up the portal by himself, he really deserved to be the only baby son of the master, and he was worthy of being the only seedling of the Ling family!
The black-clothed assassin Xiao Skirt, who confessed Xiao Lingwei's identity, was sent by Ling Zhen into the Red Refining Guiru, saying that he wanted Xu Baiyan, the lord of the Guiru, to "take care" of the remnants of this Baolin Kingdom who did not know the height of the sky.
The entrance and exit of the ruins is a bracelet with a blood-red pattern, called the "Red Ruin Bracelet", and Young Master Ling wears the bracelet on his wrist day and night, so that he can summon people in the Guirus Realm anytime and anywhere.
The seventh daughter of Lord Ling Puling is called Ling Yishui, who is the former palace master of the Sea Heavenly Palace inside the villa, and later married Jiang Hu, the co-owner of the South China Sea Shark God Sea, and is now in the southern sea, and the Ling family manor, the king of the northern domain, is separated by a whole splendid dynasty.
After Ling Yishui got married, the Heavenly Palace on the Sea, which was known as the "Two Wonders of Tianshen Villa" along with Tongtian Yuegui, was managed and guarded by Ling Xiaoxiao, the eighth daughter of the Ling family.
On this day, Ling Zhen came to the sea heavenly palace alone, with the power of the fire god, the mighty sea water, leading the fire and the water waves to fight fiercely, the water and fire are intolerable, the scene is very spectacular and dazzling!
When Ling Zhen felt complacent about his domineering behavior, a delicate girl's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Stinky brother, you are really bold enough, the fourth sister and the fifth sister are all put by you." β
Ling Zhen turned his head quickly, his expression was a little incredulous, "Eight, eighth sister...... How do you know?! β
The one he called "Eighth Sister" was a little girl in white with a smart appearance and a small and delicate physique.
Ling Xiaoxiao, who did not grow up much in her life due to an accident when she was young, is the youngest daughter of the Ling family and the eighth sister of Ling Zhen.
Ling Xiaoxiao raised her slightly pointed chin and looked up at Ling Zhen, blinking her beautiful eyes that were naturally cherry red and as amber as agate.
Standing up to the extremely flat chest, two arms as thin as chopsticks, crossed the willow waist.
Ling Xiaoxiao's voice was delicate, and she said loudly: "Ling Zhen, you are dead, I will tell my father about letting you go to the fourth sister!" β
Ling Zhen smiled bitterly, "Sister, don't go and say okay?" More is better than less, can I invite you to eat rock sugar gourd? β
Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Don't, you and I are still the same as four years ago, and now I don't like to eat rock sugar gourds anymore...... Stir-fry chestnuts with sugar! β
Ling Zhen nodded, "Okay, fried chestnuts with sugar, fried chestnuts with sugar, eat, eat hard, you can eat as much as you want, brother, I will pay." β
Ling Xiaoxiao showed a sweet smile, "It's not enough to just invite me to eat delicious, I want you to accompany me to the South China Sea!" β
Ling Zhen looked at the "girl" in front of him who was short in height and barely reached his chest, and thought in his heart, he had already refined the natal sword, his cultivation was not weak, and it was not a matter to stay at home all the time, and it was good to go out and practice, so he said: "It's not impossible, what are you going to do in the South China Sea?" β
"What else can you do? Play with my seventh sister! β
Ling Xiaoxiao said, "I'm almost suffocated at home all day, I want to go to the Shark God Sea to find Ling Yishui, Seventh Sister and I have the most fun, she is married now, I haven't seen her for a long time, but I miss me." You just said that you won't accompany me! β
Ling Zhen sighed and promised, "Go, it's not okay for me to accompany you...... Anyway, how did you know that I let go of the fourth and fifth sisters? β
Ling Xiaoxiao stood on tiptoe and gently poked Ling Zhen's head a few times with her little finger like a jade onion, "The Sea Heavenly Palace is close to the south gate of the villa, I had insomnia that night, and when I went out for a walk, I happened to bump into the fourth and fifth sisters who successfully escaped. Coincidental or not, you say? β
Ling Zhen nodded, "Coincidental, really - no coincidence can't make a book!" β
Ling Xiaoxiao, who has the figure and appearance of a girl, put her white palm on Ling Zhen's lips, "You can't say dirty words~"
"Eighth sister, you are in your early twenties, can you not be old and naΓ―ve like fourteen years old?"
"Hmph, you care about me?"
Ling Xiaoxiao pouted, "Stinky brother, call me 'Sister Xiaoxiao'!" I like that when you call me that, it's better than 'Eighth Sister'. β
"Yes, Sister Xiaoxiao! Sister Xiaoxiao will always be fourteen years old, and her youth and vitality will always remain! β
Ling Zhen smiled and flattered, he has always known Sister Xiaoxiao's childlike nature, and loves to listen to this kind of compliment, so he has never hesitated to praise it.
Ling Xiaoxiao took out a piece of letter paper that had been folded many times from her pocket, and said: "I received a letter from the seventh sister a few days ago, saying that I was living quite well over there, but I didn't eat the dishes over there, it was too light, there was no spicy taste at all, most of it was seafood, and I didn't have a good appetite......
Ling Zhen took the piece of paper and looked at it.
At first, he didn't feel anything unusual, but after looking at it for a while, Ling Zhen frowned and let out a deep voice, "It's strange."
Ling Xiaoxiao was confused, "What's strange?" β
Ling Zhen said with a serious face: "If this letter is read hastily, it does mean that her life in the South China Sea is good, peaceful and joyful, but have you noticed that the first words of each line are connected together, and the meaning is very wrong." β
Ling Xiaoxiao tried to pronounce the first word of each line, "I, husband, hand, spicy, easy, water, thought, home...... What does that mean? β
Ling Zhen's face darkened, "Hot hands should mean ruthless, Yi Shui is obviously thinking of Ling Yi Shui to miss his hometown." I think there is a possibility that the seventh sister is not happy over there, but the letters sent by her husband are strictly controlled, so she can only write a letter that reports good news and not bad news, and then tells us what she really wants to say in the form of hiding her head, in fact, the seventh sister is not having a good time at all now......"
Ling Xiaoxiao shuddered, "Brother, your conjecture is too frightening, I don't believe it anyway, Jiang Hu, the co-leader of the Shark God Sea Region, if he really dares to bully the seventh sister, isn't he afraid that his father will send troops to destroy him?" β
Ling Zhen sighed, "Our Heavenly God Villa is in the north of the dynasty, and it is too far away from the South China Sea, and the person surnamed Jiang is not good because he relies on this, and he feels that our family's hands are not long enough to reach the affairs in the south, so he is so fearless." β
Ling Xiaoxiao was furious when she heard this, and pushed Ling Zhen, "Brother, don't do this, it makes me feel frightened, I'm really afraid that something will happen to the seventh sister." β
Ling Zhen tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Of course I also hope that the seventh sister can be safe, our Ling family is a family of imperial authority, but it is not so easy to bully, anyway, we have decided to go all the way south, so when the time comes, we will wait until we reach the South China Sea, and then we will see what it is." If the seventh sister is doing well, then it will be fine, if not, then we will destroy the one surnamed Jiang in the shark god sea area. β
Ling Xiaoxiao nodded heavily, "Well, good!" I am relieved to have your words, brother. Let's have some soldiers with my father, if there is really something, then it is better to fight directly, and there is no need to be afraid of him! β
"If you want to transfer troops, you have to make up an excuse to come out......"
Ling Zhen thought for a moment, "Hey, there you have it! β
Suddenly, the young master of the mountain villa Ling threw a punch into the sea, and the fist was fierce, setting off a monstrous wave.
The picture is especially magnificent!
Ling Zhen gritted his teeth and shouted: "Jiang Hu, right, if you really have a bear-hearted leopard and dare to bully my sister, see if I don't beat you into a puddle of paste!" β
ββββ
In the four years that Ling Zhen was in retreat and sword refining in the ruins, there were changes in the world and turmoil.
Ling Pu, the king of the Shenyuan Domain, led a large army to kill the major martial arts sects within the Jinxiu Dynasty.
After four years of fighting, 100,000 corpses were ambushed.
As a result, the rivers and lakes, led by the "Sword Saint" Yingchun, the arrogant people who "violated the ban with martial arts" were all wiped out and completely disappeared!
The world is basically peaceful, and the Son of Heaven sits firmly on the dragon chair.
Only the southernmost part remains, and there is still a large demon sect that has not been wiped out by the army.
The name of the sect is the White Bone Sword Sect!
The so-called tiger father has no dog "daughter", Ling Pu's eighth daughter, Ling Xiaoxiao, with the demeanor of a woman who does not let her eyebrows, take the initiative to lead troops to the south to eliminate the evil demon of the White Bone Sword Sect.
The ninth son, Ling Zhen, also had a positive attitude, expressing his willingness to go with the eighth sister, and the young man was righteous and awe-inspiring, vowing to kill the demon faction villains and return the world to a prosperous world!
On this day, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the autumn breeze is blowing, which is an excellent solar term, and it is the most suitable for going out.
The Ling family, a pair of young sisters and brothers with very different figures, are ready to take advantage of this good weather to go out together.
Brother Ling Zhen and sister Ling Xiaoxiao.
The destination of their trip was the "White Bone Beach" on the coast of the South China Sea, which is known as the "White Bone Beach" with countless dead bodies.
That is the headquarters of the Demon Sect's White Bone Sword Sect, and it is also the only remaining piece of "above board" black smoke miasma in the Splendid Dynasty!
Because they need to cross most of the Splendid Dynasty, there are many people and horses on the way, so the Ling family sisters and brothers are not a lot of people on this trip.
brought enough 5,000 elite iron cavalry from the "True Martial Arts Battalion", as well as Ji Du and Rahu, two powerful generals in the three-star Jiuyao and 12 cadres.
More than 5,000 people entered the ruins bracelet called "wine and meat".
This wine and meat return to the ruins, and there is a wine pond meat forest inside.
It can be enjoyed by all the warriors and stay comfortably in the bracelet!
Of course, as the royal soldiers, they have a high idea of danger in battle, and they will not delay anything because of drinking wine and eating meat.
And the "Wine and Meat Ruin Bracelet", which was about the same size as the Red Refining Ruin Bracelet, was worn on Ling Xiaoxiao's hand, as long as she wanted, she could summon a large number of cavalry from the inside to fight anytime and anywhere!
Before leaving, Master Ling's wife, that is, Yao Ying, Ling Xiaoxiao and Ling Zhen's mother, hurried out.
After more than 30 years of marriage, she gave birth to a total of nine children for the Ling family, so her body is very weak and sick all the year round, and she is a medicine jar that can't live without medicine.
At this moment, Yao Ying coughed while walking, her steps staggered a little, and when she approached the door, she almost tripped and fell, which looked very dangerous.
If she hadn't been in a hurry to send her son far away, she would never have been so anxious.
Ling Zhen was startled, hurriedly stepped forward, and supported his weak mother, he frowned, and said with some concern: "Mother, look at you, you almost fell to the ground, you are really careless!" My son has grown up, and I don't need to send it, I promise to give you a safe return! β
Yao Ying, a middle-aged woman with a bloodless face, didn't say anything, her hands trembled a little, and she reluctantly pulled out the saber Hong Mo pinned to her waist.
As the royal princess of the former Qianjin Dynasty, she has pure blood of the Ice Ghost Clan, is a sword cultivator, and she is also very fond of practicing swordsmanship when she is young, so her beloved sword almost never leaves her body, and she regards it as a treasure.
Yao Ying held the reddish-pink sword, the tip of the sword was aimed at the position of the middle point on Ling Zhen's chest, and there was no poke, just a little bit.
Suddenly, a pale yellow qi erupted from the tip of the extremely sharp sword, burrowing into Ling Zhen's broad chest.
Soon, Ling Zhen felt a very wonderful warmth rise in the acupoints in his chest.
The warm current that makes people feel comfortable all over the body, flowing all over the eight veins of the strange meridians, all the knots, no one is not hot, and it is very warm and comfortable.
It's more comfortable than soaking in a hot spring for a long time on a cold day!
"Mother, what is this?!"
Ling Zhen exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening.
Yao Ying smiled kindly and explained slowly: "This is the six wisps of 'Supreme Sword Qi' left in the mountain villa after the Sword God Yu Youcong lost to your father in the competition back then. All you need to do is put your two index fingers together and the other eight fingers will be together, and sword energy will shoot out from your fingertips, which is extremely powerful and can save your life in a critical moment. β
Ling Zhen was overjoyed, opened his arms, hugged his mother, and then said in a smooth tone: "Thank you, my mother!" β
"Silly boy, do you need to say thank you when your mother gives her son something?"
Yao Ying smiled and said, "You can also hold the Red Mo Sword, when you go out, you should have a weapon by your side." β
Yao Ying put the famous sword into the scabbard and handed the complete red sword to his son.
Ling Zhen solemnly took over his mother Yao Ying's love sword Hongmo and pinned it to his waist.
The scabbard of this sword was a bright red and pink color, and Ling Zhen had long been very fond of the appearance of this sword, and felt that it was very satisfying.
In Ling Zhen's words, the more pink the sheath, the more ruthless the killing!
Yao Ying, who deliberately went out to see off her son, suddenly lowered her voice at this moment and leaned into her baby son's ear, "Zhen'er, your father has actually guessed the matter of you putting the stars and buns down, and he deliberately pretended not to know." β
Ling Zhen was a little taken aback and froze in place.
Yao Ying continued: "That layer of enchantment is actually slightly connected to your father's primordial spirit, so the moment the enchantment broke, he knew that his daughter had escaped, and at that time, you were the only one on the Tongtian Laurel, and no one else could do it except you." β
Ling Zhen smiled bitterly, then gave a thumbs up, and said, "Dad is worthy of being a father, Jiang is still old and spicy, I can't do this kind of trick." β
After a pause, Ling Zhen said again: "It seems that Daddy is actually willing to let the fourth sister and the fifth sister go, but they just need a step down, otherwise it will be too shameless, right." β
Yao Ying nodded, "Yes, although your father is a big old man who is mixed in the battlefield, the life on his back is heavier than the mountain, and it is normal for his temper to stink, but the tiger poison does not eat children, and he is reluctant to lock up his daughter for the rest of his life." β
Yao Ying patted her son's shoulder and said, "Zhen'er is now a sword cultivator like her mother, her realm cultivation has improved a lot, she beat away the people of the Nangong family, and she also helped the villa get rid of a traitor, my mother is really happy for you!" β
Ling Zhen smiled, "Hey, what is my Ling Zhen's background?" My father is the first god of war in the dynasty, and my mother is a famous female sword fairy in the Qianjin Kingdom, this kind of bloodline, it is difficult to practice it! β
Yao Ying's eyes narrowed with a smile and asked, "Zhen'er, when you go out this time, are all the items you need for the trip ready?" β
Ling Zhen hummed for a moment, shook his right hand, and the delicate "Na Ring" on his middle finger was shining and extremely beautiful under the sunlight.
This thing can rely on the body of mustard seeds to accommodate the Sumeru Mountain, which is very spiritual!
Young Master Ling Zhen, who was about to go far away, said with a smile: "It has already been prepared, money, secret weapons, magic weapons, pills, talismans, nail pills, and a change of clothes...... and the Moon Surge Divine Axe that my mother gave me, all of them are properly placed, and they have everything! Your son is doing things, don't worry. β
"This mother will be at ease, don't be long-winded, if you don't nag again, if you go out for a few days, I won't sleep well for a few days!"
Yao Ying, a middle-aged woman, held her son's young and handsome face with both hands and stared at it, "Zhen'er, you must be good, obedient, Ang." β
Ling Zhen's face was held hard by his mother, and he squeezed out a thick smile, and said, "Mother, it's not that you won't be able to see me in the future, why do you feel like you are parting with life and death?" β
"I can't say it, my mother just has a bad premonition."
Yao Ying said in a low voice, "Why don't you ...... Zhen'er or don't go? β
Ling Zhen immediately snorted and frowned, "Mother, don't say such unlucky words!" Your son and I, even if we can persist in retreating and penance in the ruins of the Red Refining for four years, what else can go wrong? Mother, don't worry about it......"
"Okay, Zhen'er, I believe in you, have a safe journey!"
At the main gate of Tianshen Villa, he said goodbye to his kind and sick mother Yao Ying.
Ling Zhen and his eighth sister Ling Xiaoxiao, the two of them "sent troops" to the south and went all the way south!
