After Cheng Ling went down the mountain, he followed his memory to find the thatched hut where Chen's mother lived.

The thatched hut is very small, only a dozen square meters, which is not as good as the dormitory where he and Su Rui live. A simple fence was built with bamboo on the periphery of the hut, which was considered a small courtyard.

There are two bamboo racks in the small courtyard, on which some herbs are dried in baskets, and there is a water tank next to the bamboo racks, and there is nothing else.

Cheng Ling's heart was sour, Chen's mother was obviously not doing well, and she still needed to collect medicinal herbs to make a living. Before he knew it, he remembered his parents.

In the future, I will never see them again, I owe them a lot in my life, I hope I won't be too sad because of his death! But I know in my heart that the two elders will definitely be sad for a while.

He paused outside the hut for a long time before taking a deep breath, pushing open the bamboo door, and walking into the house.

As soon as I entered the hut, I smelled a strong smell of medicine. Cheng Ling looked inside and saw a haggard woman half-lying on the couch, coughing incessantly.

He hurriedly walked to the edge of the bed, sat down, and asked, "How are you? Why are you so sick?" Although he decided to take her as his mother, he couldn't shout for a while.

Through memory, Cheng Ling knew that when Chen's mother was expelled from the family a year ago, she was seriously injured by several elders, and she never recovered, and her original Taoism was greatly weakened, and now she is almost no different from mortals!

"It's Ling'er who is back, my mother is fine, but she is weak. Have you eaten, my mother will get you something to eat!"

When the woman saw him, she instantly squeezed out a smile, and struggled to get up to get something to eat.

Cheng Ling's nose was sour, and she said, "Mother, the child is not hungry, you lie down, I will pour you water to drink." He had already seen that the woman's lips were chapped and that she had apparently not drunk water for a long time.

"Okay, Ling'er is so good, my mother is thirsty. ”

Cheng Ling hurriedly looked at it, and found that there was a teapot in the corner of the bed, so he picked it up, and when he carried it, he knew that it was empty, and when he opened the lid of the pot, he saw that it was very dry, and it was obvious that there had been no tea for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the woman could not even boil water, so he picked up the teapot, walked to the small courtyard, scooped some water from the water tank, and boiled it.

After a while, the water was boiling, and there was no tea at home, so he had to take a bowl of white water and bring it to the woman.

The woman was really thirsty, so she took the bowl and drank two sips, regardless of whether it was hot or not. After drinking, it seems that I have really eased up a little and my spirit is better.

"Ling'er, why did you go down the mountain this time? Niang heard that the sect will open the mountain to accept disciples in a few days, but you can't slack off, you have to work hard to become an official disciple!"

Cheng Ling pondered for a while, decided to tell him bluntly, and said: "Mother, I don't want to stay in the sect anymore, let's leave here and find another livelihood!"

The woman was stunned for a moment, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Ling'er, what's wrong with you? ”

"Mother, I've been in the sect for a year, and I don't even have a sense of qi, let alone comprehend the Dao. It seems that I am not a cultivator, so I should live my life in peace!"

The woman's face changed drastically, and she screamed: "You are not my Ling'er, who are you? My Ling'er will not say such frustrating words, nor will she be so clear and organized!"

Cheng Ling was taken aback suddenly, this woman's senses are so keen, but how to tell her? It must not work, maybe she will think that she killed Chen Ling, so she can only stabilize him first.

"No, mother! The child is always bullied by other disciples in the sect, and he was almost beaten to death a few days ago, but now that he has finally recovered, he just wants to live a life in peace. Look at it again, I'm Ling'er!"

The woman looked at him carefully, touched him again, sighed, and said, "Ling'er, my mother knows." You must have suffered a lot of grievances in the sect, you didn't say it before, but how could the mother not see the injuries on your body. ”

"Niang originally wanted you to become an official disciple of the sect one day, strengthen yourself, and seek justice for your mother, but now you have to give up easily. Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......!"

After saying this, the woman seemed to have lost all her strength, and coughed violently, Cheng Ling saw that the corners of her mouth were still bloodshot!

"Mother, it's okay! we can go find another livelihood, and the child will definitely take good care of you!" Cheng Ling hurriedly grabbed her hand and soothed her softly.

"That's it, mother's body, I'm afraid it's not going to work... Ling'er, my mother won't allow you to leave, you must become an official disciple of the sect, cough cough cough... It's good for you to promise me!"

Cheng Ling saw that she was coughing even more, and the blood at the corner of her mouth kept coming out, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, so she said: "Okay, the child promised his mother that he would not leave the sect, mother, you are relieved, don't be angry anymore." ”

"Such a promise, mother is not at ease, you have to swear!" the woman stared at him with a pair of eyes.

Cheng Ling was happy in her heart, didn't she just swear, this is all a lie. On the earth, which rich second generation has fulfilled his oath in bed? Even if he swears to his wife, he still has the opportunity to go out and steal fish.

He then said, "Okay, I swear, I must work hard to become an official disciple of the Phaseless Sword Sect!"

The woman looked at him coldly and said, "Your oath is insincere, you have to be like your mother." cough cough cough ......"

After speaking, she raised her right hand with difficulty, her thumb and little finger together, and the middle three fingers facing the sky, and read: "I swear, I will become an official disciple of the Wuxiang Sword Sect and seek justice for Cheng Xueyao, if not, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"

Cheng Ling was stunned, and faintly felt that something was not right, which showed that her trembling body and haggard face were really unbearable. Just like her, she stretched out her right hand and said loudly:

"I swear that I will become an official disciple of the Wuxiang Sword Sect and seek justice for Cheng Xueyao, if not, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"

After speaking, he suddenly felt as if he faintly heard the thunder in the sky, and it was like a silk thread binding himself.

When the woman saw that he had finished his vow, she finally fell back to the bed, and spat out her blood in a big gulp.

Cheng Ling was startled and hurriedly stroked her chest.

She blocked Cheng Ling's hand aside, and said coldly: "I don't know who you are, but since you occupy my child's body and make a heavenly oath, we are also considered to be two clear, and you don't touch me again.....!"

"......How do you know what the Heavenly Oath is?"

"Hey~!Heavenly Oath, who... Ahem... Also... Unable... Ahem... You... Ahem, ahem... Doomed... For me... Retrieve... Justice!"

The woman exhausted what she had left, and when she had finished speaking, she closed her eyes and passed away!

Cheng Ling watched her pass away silently, and felt a little sad in her heart. In the end, she found out that he was not her child, and forced him to make some heavenly oath.

No, Ling Ke didn't care at all, swearing that he never believed this kind of thing. But since she has passed away, let's bury her properly, and forget about it.

He dug a grave for her in the courtyard, made a coffin with a bed, put the woman in it, and cut a wooden sign for him, while he was hesitating to write something. suddenly remembered that she seemed to have said that she would seek justice for Cheng Xueyao, and it should be the woman's name.

He wrote Cheng Xueyao's tomb on the wooden plaque, and Chen Ling knocked on it!

He put the wooden sign in front of the grave and said, "Madam, although I am not your child, I have finally taken possession of his body, so I should be the last thing I will do for you! As for becoming an official disciple of the Wuxiang Sword Sect, I obviously don't have this opportunity, so let's say goodbye!"

After saying that, he bowed down three more times, and then turned his head and walked outside.

But when he walked in the opposite direction of the Wuxiang Sword Sect for a while, he heard a faint thunder in the sky. I was shocked, what's going on? Do you want me to wear my soul again?

He stopped and looked at the sky, the sky was full of white clouds, blue, calm and calm, and there was no sign of thunder or rain at all. smiled bitterly: It seems that he was scared by thunder. With such good weather, where does the thunder come from, it must be an illusion!

Cheered himself up, and took a few more steps forward. There was a roar in my ears, as if lightning would fall at any moment. Stopped, looked up at the sky, still can't make waves.

He wondered, what is the situation? If I don't move this thunder, it won't sound, and as soon as I walk forward, it rumbles! God covets my beauty, and it's not easy to take the initiative to ask for it, so he intends to attract my attention?

After a moment of delusional thought, I decided not to care about the sound this time. He straightened his clothes, stared angrily ahead, and his trembling legs snaked forward in a figure-out, ready to dodge the falling lightning bolts.

After walking a few steps, the thunder began to sound again, Cheng Ling buried his head in ignorance and continued to move forward! The thunder sounded more and more urgently, and after walking for dozens of meters, "click!" sounded, and a thunderbolt struck three feet in front of him.

The dust was splashing, a thin layer of sweat broke out from the tip of his nose, and the direction of the thunder and lightning cut through his scalp. The headscarf has been torn off, and the hair is standing on end, which is really stylish!

It's really down, so let's go back and avoid the limelight.

He turned around in an instant and ran towards the mountain range of the Phaseless Sword Sect. After running for a while, I suddenly remembered that since there was thunder when it moved, why couldn't I hear the thunder when I returned to the sect?

After muttering to himself for a while, he decided to give it a try, so he stopped and walked back in the direction he had left. Sure enough, the thunder rang out again. Turning towards the Phaseless Sword Sect, there was not the slightest sound in the sky.

Now, he finally understood. Damn, it turns out that this Heavenly Dao oath is so bright? He wants to let go of the thunder, and when he returns to the Wuxiang Sword Sect, he is silent, does he really want to become a disciple of the Wuxiang Sword Sect as the oath says, and then seek justice for Cheng Xueyao, so that he can crack it?

Cheng Ling couldn't bear it anymore and scolded: "I'm a grandmother, who told me that I swore just to deceive the little girl, this fucking really works!"
