Chapter 2: Choices
Time flies, and the giant wheel of time turns round and round, never stopping, which is an eternal thing in the universe.
In the long river of time, I don't know how many heroes have been exhausted, and there have been many changes in the world. The long river is rolling, I don't know if you still remember a few lang flowers in the long river? Maybe nothing will be left, even if it is left, the long river of time will not care about those few small lang flowers.
And just like that, ten years passed imperceptibly. Maybe for the vast universe, this short period of ten years is nothing, but for a baby, it can mean earth-shaking changes.
Yes, Ling Tian was ten years old. At the age of ten, he is already 1.5 meters tall, and the little guy is becoming more and more agile. His eyebrows are delicate, his skin is as clean as jade, not like a boy, but as smart and delicate as a girl.
Ling Tian often had a smile on his immature little face, his eyes were like bright stars, and he looked forward to it. His bright eyes flickered from time to time, and his eyelashes were long, making him look even more lovely.
In the past ten years, Ling Yun and his wife have taught Ling Tian to speak and write, the little guy is extremely smart, he learns everything very quickly, and he can learn it as soon as he learns, but the little guy is very naughty and active, and often makes the chickens and dogs jump in the small yard where Ling Yun is - if there are chickens and dogs here.
In the past ten years, there are many strange people who want to sneak into Qingyun Peak quietly, these people, with very different clothes, are obviously not near Qingyun Mountain, maybe since the "Heaven and Earth Divine Object" incident (please see the rumor for details), the Five Elements Gate or some forces further away want to explore the details of Ling Yun and Ling Tian.
However, when these people first stepped into Qingyou Peak, they would all be oppressed by a chilling killing intent, and they had no choice but to retreat in shock.
Over time, no outsiders will dare to step into Qingyou Peak again.
In short, the calm Qingyou Peak was full of undercurrents, but Ling Tian didn't know about it.
On this day, Ling Tian was playing alone in the small courtyard where Ling Yun lived.
The little guy is very active, looking at the flowers, touching the grass, and sometimes jumping, startling a few fluttering butterflies and scaring away a few birds.
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Seeing the butterfly frightened away, Ling Tianxi smiled, his big eyes suddenly narrowed into Gou Yue, and he didn't care about a few grass clippings on his body.
"Chirp ......"
The chirping of several spirit birds could be heard in the sky.
"Well, why can't I fly, if only I could fly like Daddy, so I can play with you. Ling Tian frowned slightly, and his mouth pursed thoughtfully.
Looking up at the birds in the sky, Ling Tian was in infinite reverie. The sun shone on his face, and the beads of sweat were refracted by the sun, and suddenly they were radiant and more crystal clear.
"Daddy said that I will fly in the future, I don't know how long it will take?" Ling Tian muttered quietly.
"I don't know what happened to my parents in the fairy world, I hope it's okay. Suddenly, Ling Tian's tone changed, his eyes were deep but full of worry, this expression was not like a child.
"The gods of the fairy world will definitely send people down to arrest me, since I can come down, naturally others can also come down. Ling Tian remembered the situation in the Immortal Realm, he actually remembered the things that these babies couldn't remember, and he had to say that as the son of gods and demons, he was very different.
"I can only keep a low profile, maybe using the identity of an ordinary person is the best cover-up, you just look for it, sooner or later I will make you regret it, hum. A fierce look flashed in Ling Tian's eyes, and then he returned to the expression of a simple ignorant young man.
Well, just a faint, sly smile on the corner of his mouth.
It turned out that the seemingly innocent Ling Tian was just him deliberately pretending to cover himself, maybe only in this way could his "escape" road go on.
"My parents are pretty good now, I can't let them see what I'm thinking about and make them worry, hehe, it's good to continue to be a good child. Thinking about it, Ling Tian's heart warmed slightly.
Ling Tian's thought made him destined to have a lot of warmth and family affection on the bumpy but extraordinary road.
"Hehe, I don't know how Daddy arranges my life?" Ling Tian's head was tilted, like a meek and immature child.
What Ling Tian didn't know was that when he was thinking about this, Ling Yun also happened to be discussing his future fate with Hu Mei:
"Let Tian'er join the other main peaks. Ling Yun said lightly.
"Squeak ......" Fox jumped uneasily, restless, obviously disagreeing with Ling Yun's decision.
Ling Yunxing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he patiently explained: "Qingyoufeng is just a child, he is alone, I am afraid that he will become withdrawn and obedient without his peers to play with him." I want to give him a cheerful childhood, after all, after cultivating the truth, the environment will become cruel and abnormal. β
The fox stopped and looked into the distance, looking at Ling Tian who was playing in the courtyard, and squeaked a few times, her eyes were full of love and reluctance.
"Alas, what can we do if we only accompany him? This kid doesn't communicate with the outside world, how can he go out in the future, he can't always be under the protection of our wings. Ling Yun's brows furrowed even tighter, he looked at Hu Mei, and continued: "Besides, it's time for Tian'er to start cultivating, it's always good to let him go to the other main peaks to learn something." β
"Squeak. The fox sneered, her face full of disdain.
"Yes, yes, Qingyun Sect's cultivation ** is not bullshit, what we taught him is a thousand times better than that. But it's always good to see other sects**. My original sect paid attention to embracing all rivers and absorbing the specialties of each family, so that I could touch the bypass and understand the way of nature more effectively. Speaking of this, Ling Yun's face darkened, as if he remembered some painful memory.
The fox also lowered her head, obviously thinking of the sadness.
"Squeak. Fox's eyes were full of inquiry, with a little pleading.
Ling Yun had a trace of forbearance in his eyes, and said leisurely: "The sooner the child cultivates, the better, so that he can better communicate with the aura of heaven and earth." In two years, I'm afraid that the best time for my child's cultivation will pass. β
"Squeak. The fox's face was full of joy, as if she had thought of something.
"Let's teach him first, but recently I want to refine the pill, I'm afraid I won't have time, and our injuries will ......" Ling Yun stopped when he wanted to speak.
The fox jumped up and down, sprinkling coquettishness.
"You, you, we let Tian'er go to other main peaks, and it's not like they won't go back. When we miss him, we go to see him, anyway, we will fly with objects, and it won't be long. Ling Yun couldn't stop with a wry smile on his face, and continued to comfort the fox.
The fox squeaked a few times, and her tone was full of grievances.
"Sooner or later, the child will have to go out to see the outside world, and we are afraid that we will not be able to accompany Tian'er forever. Ling Yun gently reassured, paused and said, "Besides, Tian'er is not destined to be mortal, and we can't let Puyu be dusted by letting him accompany us." β
"Squeak. Fox Mei had no choice but to make a reluctant compromise, but the reluctance in her eyes was even thicker.
"Okay, after a while, we will send Tian'er to other main peaks, and it just so happens that I also have to prepare a few things for Tian'er, and I am a little worried about letting him go alone. Ling Yundao smiled.
The fox's eyes narrowed slightly, and she happily jumped onto Ling Yun's shoulder, her tail rubbing against Ling Yun's face.
"In a month, most of the stuff should be ready in a month. Ling Yun said again.
Fox Mei had no choice but to nod helplessly.
A month passed in a hurry, and in this month, Fox Mei was better to Ling Tian, and she was inseparable all day long. There was a hint of reluctance in his eyes from time to time, but it was soon replaced by a strong color of love.
"Oh my God, come here. On this day, Ling Yun called Ling Tian, who was playing with the fox outside.
"Well, Daddy, what's the matter?" Ling Tian jumped up and down in front of Ling Yun.
"I'm going to send you to other veins tomorrow to learn things, have you figured out what you want to learn?" Ling Yun gently wiped away the sweat from Ling Tiantian, full of kindness.
After that day, Ling Yun was about to send him to the other main peaks to sue Ling Tian, leaving Ling Tian to make his own choice.
Ling Tian pursed his mouth, lowered his head, looked at his toes, and said weakly, "Daddy, can you not go?"
"No, I can't. Ling Yun's face turned grim.
"Oh, then I want to go to Qingyun Main Peak. Ling Tian was a little aggrieved.
Ling Yun's expression eased, and he asked with curiosity, "Why do you want to go to Qingyun Main Peak?"
"Listening to Uncle Qingyun, the alchemy of the main peak of Qingyun is the best among the nine main peaks, and I want to learn alchemy. Ling Tian's eyes flashed, and he said firmly.
Since the last "Heaven and Earth Divine Object" incident, Qingyunzi and everyone have come to Qingyoufeng to visit Lingyun from time to time.
At the beginning, everyone attached great importance to Ling Tian, the son of heaven, and besides, Ling Tian was lively and smart, and he was very endearing, so he naturally told him something about Qingyun Sect.
It's just that, for some reason, Ling Yun hated the arrival of these people very much, and after losing his temper a few times, the people of the Qingyun Sect did not dare to come to Qingyou Peak again. Later, he found that Ling Tian was not very strange, and concluded that he did not have any "heaven and earth artifacts" on him, so his attention to him was weakened.
It's just that what everyone doesn't know is that Qingyunzi often stares at Qingyoufeng in a daze, his eyes are faintly strange, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
"Alchemy, why do you want to learn alchemy, alchemy is a very boring thing, how can you be a child who can endure loneliness. Ling Yun looked curious.
Ling Tian was very active, frolicking and joking on Qingyou Peak all day long, obviously he didn't believe that the active Ling Tian could endure that kind of boredom and loneliness.
"I want to make an elixir for my father's cough. Ling Tian's expression was straight, and he said, "Daddy, you often cough, although you always carry Tian'er behind your back, thinking that I don't know, in fact, I have seen it all." β
"Hehe, what a good boy. Ling Yun's expression was full of relief, and he coughed lightly.
"Squeak. Fox Mei jumped onto Ling Tian's shoulder at some point, her expression was a little excited and a little happy, and her eyes became more loving when she looked at Ling Tian.
Ling Yun shook his head, with a hint of gloom in his relief, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"What, can't you?" Seeing Ling Yun shaking his head, Ling Tian asked in a low voice.
"Yes, but alchemy requires Danhuo, you don't even have a golden pill now, how can there be Danhuo. Ling Yun smiled.
"Oh. Ling Tian's face was full of despair, this was not a fraud, he really didn't know that alchemy would have so many requirements.
"Butβ" Ling Yun saw his frustration, and his voice changed, and he didn't want to discourage the little guy's enthusiasm.
"But what?" Ling Tian grabbed Ling Yun's sleeve and pretended to be impatient.
"Haha, it's as acute as your mother. Ling Yun couldn't help but smile, looking at Ling Tian's eagerness, he didn't sell it anymore, and said, "You can learn the basics of alchemy while cultivating, alchemy is broad and profound, and there is a lot to learn." After you have mastered a little introductory knowledge of alchemy, it is estimated that you are not far from the Jindan stage. β
Ling Tian was overjoyed and jumped around happily.
"Besidesβ" Ling Yun didn't finish speaking.
Ling Tian hurriedly stopped, his eyes rolled, he looked at Ling Yun, and listened carefully.
"The main peak of Qingyun is the general vein of Qingyun Sect, although it is famous for its alchemy in the Five Elements Domain, but other Dao techniques are not weaker than the other four sects, and you can also learn other things here at the same time. Ling Yun smiled.
"Well, okay, Daddy. I will study hard, and I will definitely become the greatest alchemist of Qingyun Sect. Ling Tian's face was full of pride, and seeing this look on a child's face made people laugh a little.
In fact, what Ling Tian didn't know was that even if he became the alchemist of the Qingyun Sect, it would be impossible to cure Ling Tian's injuries, but Ling Yun naturally wouldn't take Ling Tian's kindness, and it was always good to learn alchemy.
"Qingyunzi's swordsmanship is not bad, you can fly around like me when you learn it, hehe. Lingyun continued to tempt.
"Uh, Daddy knows that Tian'er wants to fly?" Ling Tianxiao's face was full of embarrassment, and his little secret was discovered.
"That is, what can hide from your greatest, wisest, most enlightened, wisest father?" Ling Yun began to brag to himself.
"Hee-hee, shame. Ling Tian pretended to make a grimace, and even the fox on Ling Tian's shoulder covered her eyes with her front paws, learning from Ling Tian to make a grimace.
"Hmph, I originally wanted to take you to fly once in a while, but it seems that some people don't want to fly. Ling Yun threatened, pretending to be vicious.
"No, I'm going to fly. Ling Tian pouted, a little impatient.
"Call a good daddy and listen. "Lingyun is extraordinarily proud.
"Good Daddy. Ling Tian finally resisted the desire to vomit wildly, and reluctantly said.
"Haha, okay, let's fly. With a long laugh, a jasper flute came out of his side, growing in the wind, and it grew in an instant.
"Let's go. The flute roared away.
Suddenly, the laughter of children, the bold laughter of middle-aged men, and the squeaking of foxes spread all over Qingyoufeng, startling three or two birds, and several fierce beasts howled and fled.
