How can we alienate family ties? How can we stand idly by when our loved ones are in danger?
A sword appeared in the sky, blasting away the dark clouds and returning the sky to clear skies. The talisman array gradually disappeared, and everyone's anxious hearts stopped.
In the courtyard, Song Yutian sheathed his sword and showed a long-lost smile. Song Linjie asked: "Dad, what's going on?"
Song Yutian stared at the sky for a moment and said calmly: "Because of you, before you were born, a Taoist priest came to the Song family. Your grandfather's name was Song Qingtian. Logically, you should be named Lingtian, but that Taoist priest It is contrary to the harmony of heaven to say that three generations of people use the word "天" in their names. If you insist on using this name for you, you will be punished by heaven. And when you name the sword, you are naming yourself."
Song Linjie looked at the Tiantian in his hand and asked: "Is this considered a time of passage?"
Song Yutian shook his head: "It can't be that simple. I'm afraid this thunder is just a prelude. If someone hadn't taken action, you might not be able to resist it this first time."
Song Linjie's eyes were firm and he said with fighting spirit: "Since you can't escape, then face it head-on. No matter how many disasters there are, I will break them with one blow."
Song Yutian nodded happily and continued: "The Taoist priest mentioned just now is the Taoist leader of the current Taoist sect, Chi Xundao. If you see him, go and repay the kindness yourself."
Having said this, Song Yutian sighed again: "The talisman array came from that heavenly master, and the piercing sword came from your grandfather. At that time, our Song family was just a small family in Liufeng City, and your grandfather was still in charge at that time. Patriarch, at a cocktail party, your grandfather and his friends were drinking in a restaurant. Your grandfather's friend offended the second son of the city lord and was beheaded on the spot. Your grandfather was so angry that he wanted to do it, but someone was still holding him back at the time. But at night, He still went to the City Lord's Mansion at night to kill the man. In order not to implicate the Song family, he left the Song family alone. However, the City Lord's Mansion remained unyielding and continued to suppress our Song family. Many times, we had to break up the family. I was forced to I have no choice but to stand up and announce the severance of the relationship between the Song family and your grandfather, and the City Lord's Mansion has just restrained itself. This is also the reason why our Song family and the City Lord's Mansion have a grudge."
Song Yutian turned to smile again and said: "But since he is willing to take this stab for you, at least it means that he still recognizes you as his grandson."
Song Linjie became confused: "Why didn't you tell me before?"
Song Yutian said calmly: "Because you will see him during this trip."
Zhang Ling blurted out two words: "Beijing."
Song Yutian nodded, waved to Song Linjie, and said, "Okay, I've said everything I need to say to you. You go out first. I still have something to say to Zhang Ling alone."
Song Linjie was puzzled, but he still left the courtyard and tried his new sword.
Song Yutian watched him leave, and then said to Zhang Ling: "I said something urgent before, but I still need to make some things clear to you again."
Zhang Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and asked: "Can't you really reveal it in advance? And why do you know so much about me?"
Song Yutian shook his head: "If your family doesn't tell you, they are probably afraid that you will act impulsively. Once you enter the academy, you will be able to investigate those things more easily and be safer. Even His Majesty will look after you, so you don't have to be too cautious." I am too worried, and the reason why I guessed your identity is only because I have met your father before, and what I can tell you are some people who have grudges against your father."
Song Yutian handed over a piece of paper. Zhang Ling's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "This must have turned the entire capital upside down!"
Song Yutian nodded: "When you enter the academy, the people above will naturally not dare to take action. Moreover, it was only your father who offended them in the first place. They have no ability to retaliate. As long as you don't care about them, they will naturally be willing to do so." The two of them are fine."
Song Yutian finally said: "That's all I can tell you. Next, you and Song Linjie should go to Wang Luo's family to have a look. I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you."
Zhang Ling walked out of the yard alone and saw Song Linjie waving the Heavenly Forging Sword. He felt uncomfortable. Song Linjie put away the sword and stood up. Zhang Ling said, "Let's go and have a look at the other two houses."
Zhang Ling inquired about the route of the two houses and walked in front. Song Yutian followed behind with a knife in his shoulder, walking swaggering down the street with a look of carelessness. People passing by thought he was the servant of the young master in front. Everyone who knew him respectfully called him Mr. Song, and some of them hid far away when they saw the guy carrying the knife. It was obvious that he had been dealt with by this guy.
Zhang Ling slowed down, walked alongside him, and asked, "Song Linjie, why did you go to the academy?"
Song Linjie was so heroic that he became excited when he heard someone ask this question: "I heard that there are many excellent sword techniques in the academy, and its dean is the second best swordsman in the world. When I entered the academy, I wanted to see them most. That’s the first sword in the South.”
Zhang Ling's steps were slow and he suddenly asked: "Then have you ever thought that he is your grandfather? To be able to deliver such a powerful sword, it is estimated that only the great master of the Guiyuan Realm can do it, and the great masters of the world who use swords There are only two masters, the Northern Sword Saint and the Southern Sword King, and it just so happens that the Sword King is right where we are going to go."
Song Linjie stopped and suddenly became frightened, so what? So what if it’s not? I went here just to improve my martial arts.
Song Linjie was indeed a cheerful person, and he smiled again in a flash: "Zhang Ling, why are you going to the academy?"
Zhang Ling said calmly: "There are things to do in the capital. It will be more convenient to enter the academy."
Song Linjie just said "Oh" in a nonchalant manner, obviously not interested in it.
After a while, Zhang Ling asked again: "Then do you know a person named Zhang Mingze? He should be a big shot in Chen State."
Song Linjie's eyes suddenly shone and he became excited again: "Then you must be talking about the general. I heard that he killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield and made great military exploits. From a small soldier to the position of a general, what he said He always led the army to victory in every battle. The late emperor personally gave him the posthumous title of "Changsheng". It was also said that he was a self-taught master and had practiced to the first level. Later, the late emperor even gave the world's second most famous sword "Guoshang" to him. He, in the eyes of the people of Chen State, is the undefeated God of War.
Zhang Ling asked in confusion: "Why have I never heard of such a person in Luochuan County?"
Song Linjie sighed rarely: "Because he has already died for his country. In the battle of Luping Valley seventeen years ago, both Chen and Mo's armies were wiped out."
Song Linjie was silent for a while and asked, "Do you have any relationship with that general?"
Zhang Ling understood this clearly. No wonder he didn't know such a well-known figure in Luochuan County before. I'm afraid it was the person in his family who did it deliberately.
Zhang Ling didn't answer and said, "We're here."
