Egret Island, an unnamed island, Ling's villa.

Ling Qingniu stopped when he passed by the main entrance of the luxury mansion, and Ling Chen, who was following him, also stopped.

Ling Qingniu was just over there, looking at the somewhat dilapidated gate, with infinite love and nostalgia in his eyes: "This house was originally where your mother used to live when she was young. ”

After listening to it in the early morning, he looked up and slowly scanned the surroundings of the mansion

The night had also fallen early, and there was only a little light dotted by stars and moons on the building, and with the passage of time, although the grace and luxury of the house also passed slowly, just from the fineness of the appearance, it could be guessed that the interior decoration must be more luxurious.

However, Ling Chen really couldn't combine his mother with this luxurious house.

In his memory, his mother was a very simple person, always with a kind smile, getting along with the neighbors and neighbors, and talking in an ordinary but infectious tone.

No matter how noisy and chaotic the environment is, as soon as the mother appears and speaks, she will become the focus of everyone.

Ling Chen's heart was very entangled, her dry lips stuck together, and she couldn't help but separate them, and spit out a few words: "Mother kisses her ......"

"Your mother... Ay... It's all my fault. ”

Ling Qingniu couldn't help but exhale heavily when he heard his son mention his long-deceased wife, the woman who had promised him a lifetime, but had long been separated from yin and yang, and looked up at the waning moon in the sky with his back hand, but slowly closed his eyes, as if recalling the sweet years between the two.

Many years ago, one winter before Lingyun Villa was founded.

Ling Qingniu went out to play with Ling Chen for a few days, and when he returned, the place that used to be called home was only a pile of charcoal covered with falling snow.

I heard that a family next door was lighting a fire in the house to keep warm, and he never thought about setting the house on fire, and the fire burned down most of the village, and his mother ...... and the lively and lovely sister, all of whom died in the fire.

At that time, Ling Chen was already sensible, and he could feel that Ling Qingniu was very sad and sad, but he didn't look particularly surprised, as if his father had already known that this would happen.

Later, he attributed the cause of the fire to revenge......

Demon Gate's revenge on the righteous path of martial arts!

......

Recalling his deceased mother in the early morning, it has been many years, and those sad pasts are almost wiped out, and when he mentions it again, he feels sad in a trance, but Ling Qingniu suddenly danced with his eyebrows: "Your mother was the number one witch in the rivers and lakes back then!"

"That stunning beauty can't be described in words, and you can't say a tenth of it, and even the old monk who has been practicing penance in the mountains for decades will be moved by your mother's heart......"

“...... Back then, your mother's competition in the Demon Gate was a sensation, and my father heard some tricks from a young offspring chatting with his companions, and secretly hid a needle under the root of his tongue, but I didn't expect that in the final competition, he really hugged the beauty with that needle......"

“...... Your mother retired from the rivers and lakes after marrying me, but she has three female apprentices who inherit what they have learned and continue to be a scourge in the rivers and lakes......"

"Later, I don't know who those three apprentices provoked, they were all killed, and your mother planned to help them take revenge...... I didn't expect ...... I can't help it if my skills are not as good as others, but at that time, it was a mess, and I didn't know where to find someone to take revenge......"

Ling Qing watched Ling Qingniu talk endlessly, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart, probably this family...... No, he is even the only one in the entire Lingyun Villa who thinks that he is an orthodox martial arts righteous path, right?

Once, even a moment ago, Ling Chen thought that his mother should be the queen of a famous family and a beautiful girl, but he was forced to leave the family because he fell in love with his father and became an ordinary woman with a husband and children.

Ling Qingniu also wanted to break away from the demon gate and become an ordinary martial artist in order to give that ordinary woman a stable life.

"That'...... What about the third uncle?" Ling Chen thought of the uncle he had never met on the giant ship, his third uncle that Ling Qingniu said in his mouth.

Since his father and mother were once from the Demon Gate, there is no need to speculate on the uncles in the villa, they must have been evil people in the past, but they will be arranged outside, and the origin of the uncle who does not show up should be even more terrifying, right?

"Your third uncle, he ......" Ling Qingniu was just about to speak, when he suddenly sniffled twice, "Lao Lei should have prepared the meal, let's go over and talk while eating." ”

"Oh. ”

Ling Chen knelt down in front of the luxurious mansion and kowtowed three times, and didn't know what to say to his mother, so he got up and followed Ling Qingniu towards the woods on the side of the martial arts training platform.

There are only two small cabins in the forest, and at a glance it can be seen that the larger one is where Ling Qingniu lives, and the other room... Let's call it a house... It was supposed to be the two big yellow dogs behind them.

After all, no matter how hunched Lao Lei's back is, it is not easy to bend into the three-foot-high hut.

When I entered the larger room, I saw three kinds of greens, scrambled eggs and a large pot of stewed pork ribs on the table in the early morning, and it seemed that the ribs without any seasoning or coloring were steaming.

I didn't see my father's favorite saber in the early morning.

Except for the table with the food and the wooden pier on the side, there was only a bed and some farm tools piled up in the corner, and nothing else was in sight, nothing could be hidden.

Ling Qingniu's famous sword - Hanshuang.

That sword is Ling Qingniu's most precious thing other than his lover, he has been using it since he stepped into the rivers and lakes, and even secretly pulled out the frosty sword in the early morning to take a look, and he was punished to kneel for three days and three nights, no matter how his mother pleaded, it was useless.

This is the only time, and the memory is still fresh.

"Father, where's your frosty sword?"

"Throw it into the sea. Ling Qingniu sat on the wooden pier and rubbed his hands excitedly.

Today, because of the arrival of his son, he added a lot of dishes, which made him feel very good, so he reached out and grabbed the stewed pork ribs, and picked up the boiled meat into the empty basin with his hands.

Chen Chen was just about to sit down, and when he heard his father's understatement, he immediately stood up again: "Throw it away?!! Why is this?"

"You sit down first. Ling Qingniu quickly picked up a piece of ribs, and then picked up a piece of ribs again to continue to remove the meat, "The people in the rivers and lakes call Mu Shu a martial god, is it because he holds the Falling Star Sword in his hand? Is it because I am holding frost in my hand that I am the number one master in martial arts today? Of course not, it is I who is strong, not a weapon, and it is not good to pay too much attention to external objects." ”

"I heard that there was a senior who held a sixty-four pound Xuantie heavy sword when he was young, and he was invincible in the world before the age of forty, but later switched to a wooden sword, and even didn't need to use a sword in the end, just by pointing out the tricks with his hands, it made people think that he held a Xuantie heavy sword......"

As Ling Qingniu spoke, he gathered his fingers into a sword to cut the large piece of ribs in his hand, and scraped the bone marrow inside into the wooden basin.

The truth he said seems to be simple, but to achieve no sword in his hand, no sword in his heart, no killing intent, and killing moves, it is not only a tempering of the state of mind, but also a stricter requirement for strength.

If you can't be invincible in the world, how can you have such arrogant words, and if you can be invincible in the world, how can you care if you hold a sword in your hand?

Ling Chen sat upright, with a solemn expression, carefully pondering every word his father said.

In the blink of an eye, Ling Qingniu cleaned all the ribs, picked up a large wooden basin full of meat and put it on the ground, and two big yellow dogs rushed in from outside the door, wagging their tails and sticking out their tongues to look at Ling Qingniu.

"It's him here today, so you have meat to eat, are you happy?"

The two big yellow dogs looked at Ling Chen in unison, their tails wagging more cheerfully.

Ling Chen touched the heads of the two big yellow dogs and said softly, "Eat." ”

With the permission of the owner, the two big yellow dogs immediately ran to the edge of the wooden basin and snorted and gnawed on the white meat in the basin.

"Ah Hua Ah Cai they are also old, their teeth are not very good, they can't eat too much meat on weekdays, Lao Lei is also very old, the old teeth are about to fall out, if they all die one day, I will take your mother around, and then go to see the scenery that I haven't seen together." ”

Ling Qingniu directly wiped his hands with the clothes on his body, and picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with chopsticks: "Speaking of your third uncle, Xiao Shu has been learning the art of Gu worms from him, and it has been about ten years now. ”

"Xiaoshu! sister...... She's still alive?"

"There's no way, in order to convince them, I won't abandon the people who took refuge in me back then, and your third uncle's Gu insect technique is passed on to women and not men, so I can only put Xiaoshu on their side, and it's not easy for me to meet her now." ”

Ling Chen can now be sure that he is the only one in the family who has set it his life's goal to be a hero who saves the country and the people......
