Xuan Lingzi nodded with satisfaction, this time the injury seemed to have a great impact on Cheng Ling, and he actually took the initiative to ask himself to guide him in his cultivation.

He said: "Ling'er, you have to take a long-term view, this incident shows that in the Chen family, there must be a force that wants to get rid of you, think about it carefully, is there any detail missing?"

Cheng Ling was stunned, Xuan Lingzi's speculation was very likely to be true. Since Cheng Xueyao and Chen Ling have left the Chen family, it stands to reason that there is no need to be aggressive, but why do the children of the Chen family in the Wuxiang Sword Sect have to put Chen Ling to death?

Could it be that Chen Ling has any secrets? But after his soul pierced, he had already fused all of Chen Ling's memories, and there was nothing strange about it. Then, the only one who knows this secret should be Cheng Xueyao, but even she is dead.

The time she spent with Cheng Xueyao was too short, and she saw through her identity, so she didn't have time to ask at all, and then she died, just let herself make a heavenly oath. So where exactly is this secret hidden?

He carefully recalled the details of being with Cheng Xueyao, and gradually, found that there were two things that could not be explained.

At that time, I only thought that maybe the mother had some kind of feeling for her son, and her habit of speaking was not hidden, so it was not unusual for her to see the flaws, but in such a short period of time, it could be confirmed that it was not her son?

Cheng Ling thought hard and replayed the situation of the day in his mind one by one. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and Cheng Xueyao's attitude began to change from not wanting to become an official disciple of the Phaseless Sword Sect, but she was not very sure at that time.

Only after touching her body did she finally confirm that it was not her son, so what was there on Chen Ling's body that he didn't have?

The second place is the oath that Cheng Xueyao asked her to make, and the sentence goes like this: 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!

There is a precedent question here, which of the two purposes is more important, "becoming an official disciple of the Wuxiang Sword Sect" or "seeking justice for Cheng Xueyao"? It stands to reason that the latter sentence should be of greater significance to Cheng Xueyao, but why does she emphasize becoming a disciple of the Wuxiang Sword Sect?

As long as she can get justice, it is not the point whether she can become a disciple of the Wuxiang Sword Sect, but according to the order of the oaths she requires, it is obvious that the former is a necessary condition, that is, she must first become an official disciple and then seek justice for her.

In this way, the whole thing has a clear context. How long did Chen Ling stay in a coma after being seriously injured by Chen Lei and them? During this period, he should have lost something, and what was it Cheng Xueyao knew, this is the first puzzle.

The second puzzle, since Cheng Xueyao knew that Chen Ling was often bullied in the Wuxiang Sword Sect, why did she insist on making him an official disciple, and what was her purpose?

There is another point, which cannot be confirmed at present, that is, does the Chen family know Cheng Xueyao's purpose?

These things are very long, but there are only a few flashes of thought in Cheng Ling's mind, and he said to Xuan Lingzi: "Master, the disciple has a few things he wants to ask!"

Xuan Lingzi replied, "You say!"

"How many are the children of the Chen family of the Phaseless Sword Sect?"

"The Wuxiang Sword Sect is the largest sect within a hundred miles of Fallen Leaf City, and there are children from each family, but the most are the children of the Chen family and the Cheng family!"

"The Chen family and the Cheng family, which Cheng family?"

Xuan Lingzi looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Don't you know, it's your mother's Cheng family!"

Cheng Ling was taken aback and asked, "Master, do you also know my mother's Cheng family?"

"As a teacher, I don't just know that although the main force of the Cheng family is not in Fallen Leaf City, its overall strength is stronger than that of the Chen family! Within the Wuxiang Sword Sect alone, there are more than 5,000 disciples. ”

"What! The Cheng family has such a big power, what about the Chen family?"

"The Chen family's power is a little weaker, but there are more than 4,000 of them!"

Cheng Ling was shocked, and felt more and more that this matter was not simple. The total number of disciples of the Wuxiang Sword Sect is more than 30,000, and the Chen Cheng family accounts for nearly 10,000 disciples, which is completely unreasonable.

"There are so many disciples in these two sects, don't the elders of the sect have a sense of vigilance?" Cheng Ling asked.

Xuan Lingzi sighed, glanced at him appreciatively, and said, "Ling'er, your worries are very reasonable, and the teacher thinks so too." Sometimes, teachers wonder if what you have done in the past six months does not look like an eight-year-old child at all. ”

"And your vision and wisdom are not something that a child can have, and teachers suspect that you have been taken away by others!"

After speaking, he stared at Cheng Ling with blazing eyes, and his eyes were full of exploration!

Cheng Ling shuddered, he really deserved to have lived for nearly eight hundred years, and his eyes were poisonous, so he was seen through.

He sighed secretly in his heart, he was seen through by Cheng Xueyao and Xuan Lingzi successively, and Cheng Xueyao gave up on herself, in the end, she was a close relative. But Xuan Lingzi, it is completely from the perspective of an old Jianghu, it seems that his mental tempering is still not enough!

He winked at Xuan Lingzi playfully and said, "Since the master is suspicious, why do you still let me mess around and not expose it?"

Xuan Lingzi smiled and said: "I am already a person who has most of my body in the ground, what good is it to expose you? Moreover, after getting along for half a year, I can also see that your nature is not bad, there should be any hardships, and your qualifications are very good, leaving you may be helpful to the sect!"

"Does the master care about the sect very much?"

"If you are like the master, you were born in the sect since you were a child and grew up in the sect, will you not care?"

Cheng Ling was silent, and only said after a while: "Master, there are many things that I can't say now, but I have no intention of harming others, I just want to live this life plainly, do you believe it?"

"I believe that sometimes the tone of your speech makes you feel like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes, such a person will not harm others, you don't want to say it clearly, and I don't ask. ”

"Thank you for your understanding, I thought about it and felt that there were a few things that were inappropriate, and I would like to ask you to refer to them together!"

"You say!"

"The power of the Cheng Chen family in the Wuxiang Sword Sect is so great, isn't the sect aware of it? Why do the two families have so many children?"

"Ling'er, you don't know something. The children of the family do not have to have the same surname, and many of them are dependent on the family, and these people account for the majority. For example, the Chen family, the real Chen family's disciples, there are less than a thousand, and the other 3,000 are all cultivators who are attached to the Chen family. ”

"I see, I understand!" Cheng Ling suddenly realized.

"The disciples from the family in the sect actually account for half of them, although these disciples exist for the interests of the family, but at the same time, they are also the help of the Wuxiang Sword Sect, leaving these disciples behind, and also tying those families to the chain of interests of the sect. ”

"It's a pity that in the past few years, the power of the Cheng and Chen families has increased greatly, and the sect master is dedicated to cultivation and has no time to take care of it. ”

"Master, what is the situation within the sect? I mean non-family disciples!"

"In the sect, there are four halls, namely the Sword Hall, the Technique Hall, the Martial Hall, and our Array Hall. Among them, the Sword Hall is controlled by the Chen family, the Shutang is controlled by the Cheng family, and the other two halls are controlled by the elders of the sect!"

Cheng Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since this is the case, as long as the Cheng Chen family does not unite together, the sect still occupies a certain advantage. Especially now that he is in the array, with Xuan Lingzi here, he will definitely not be able to make any big waves.

He asked again, "Master, is it true that your lifespan is only five years?

"Four and a half years left, to be exact. It's not that there is no way, it's just that the treasure that increases the lifespan is too difficult to find, and I don't count on it. Besides, even if you live for a few more decades, there is no point in accepting you as an apprentice, as long as you can inherit the mantle, you will be satisfied!"

Cheng Ling's face flushed, it was obvious that Xuan Lingzi had very high hopes for himself, and he really didn't cultivate well. However, these can only be made up for in the future, so let's figure out our own speculation first!

He said, "Master, the disciple wants to trouble you with two things. ”

"What?"

"The disciple's original residence in the miscellaneous disciple area wants to go and see it again, as well as my mother's residence, and the master has to work hard to accompany the disciple on a trip!"

Xuan Lingzi nodded, grabbed him, and walked towards the miscellaneous disciple area. He was extremely fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he came to the original residence of Chen Ling and Su Rui.

Cheng Ling walked in and looked around carefully. At this time, the steward who was in charge of the miscellaneous disciples also rushed over, and the first seat of the array hall came, how could he not come forward.

Cheng Ling asked, "Steward, after Su Rui and I left here, have any other miscellaneous disciples come in?"

The steward hurriedly replied with a smile: "No, Senior Brother Cheng has become the first disciple, our miscellaneous disciples are honorable, how can we let other disciples enter at will!"

Cheng Ling didn't care about his sycophants at all, so he said: "That's good, you can do it! I have something important to discuss with the master!"

The steward opened his mouth and wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw Cheng Ling's expression, he had no choice but to leave the dormitory.

After he left, Xuan Lingzi put a few prohibitions on the door. Cheng Ling searched carefully, he looked through Chen Ling's original clothes and bedding one by one, and after a while, he found a thick book-like thing in the futon.

He touched it a few times, and it felt very similar to the thick book he had bought before, so he bit the seal of the futon with his teeth, reached in, and after a while, he touched the thing.

After touching it out, Cheng Ling looked at it, and sure enough, it was a thick book, and opened it again to look through a few pages, which was almost exactly the same as the paper of the previous book.

Cheng Ling looked at Xuan Lingzi, muttered a little, and as soon as he bit his teeth, he bit his fingers and dripped blood on the books.

The book instantly absorbed the blood, and after a while, it began to emit a trace of white smoke again, and the thick book continued to thin with the white smoke, and finally turned into a golden page, which was the same as the mysterious page that Cheng Ling had obtained before!
