After breaking through the roof, Ling Zhen jumped up from the big hole created by his sword energy and reached the top of the house.
The moonlight was clear, illuminating the top of it all white.
He stood on the highest roof of Red Dream Tower, looking around, feeling infinitely sad!
All he could see was nothingness, except for the two of them.
To be precise, there were two people besides Ling Zhen, two dead people!
Ling Zhen was extremely reluctant to face it, but it was absolutely true. The two corpses lying on the ground were undoubtedly the Lan family sisters that he had worked so hard to save.
Lan Qin and Lan Hua, two sisters who suffered extremely hard lives, finally escaped from the control of the brothel boss and finally regained their lives. However, they were brutally killed and died in vain on the roof of the building.
This means that they have not left this romantic place in the world of mortals until their death, and their souls are left alone and helpless after death!
Ling Zhen gritted his teeth and almost collapsed. After stepping forward to confirm that the two sisters had indeed had their necks broken, they were reduced to two cold corpses.
This 20-year-old young man was filled with grief and anger. He couldn't bear it any longer. He raised his head, thunderous waves of air hit the sky above, and shouted heart-breakingly at the ruthless and unjust "God": "Come out, if you have the ability, come out to me and confront me face to face. I want to see what amazing magical powers you have. You just went to my grandma's house and you're willing to be a coward. You don't even dare to see me." I……"
At this time, a voice that had been heard once rang in Zi Lingzhen's heart.
It was the voice of the man in green who did not let Ling Zhen see his face outside the house.
The man asked in a very sarcastic voice: "Is it good to play? Are you having fun?"
Ling Zhen's face turned red with anger. It was very rare for him to be so furious. He scolded: "I'm playing with your mother, but why are you playing with your mother?! Get out of here." I have to kill you, chop you into pieces, and let’s see if you still think it’s fun or not!”
Unaffected by Ling Zhen's crazy curse, the man's voice in his heart sounded again, "Ling Zhen, are you afraid of death?"
As soon as this question came out, Ling Zhen was so angry that he laughed, and then scolded: "You beast, what nonsense question are you asking? Are you asking your father if I am afraid of death? What a big joke! I am returning from Chi Lian I have been in seclusion in Xuli for four years, and I have never suffered anything. I have wanted to live and die several times. Do you think I, Ling Zhen, am a coward like you? Are you kidding me?!"
The voice said again: "As long as you are not afraid of death, it seems that you are qualified to be my chess piece and be used by me!"
The laughter of the man in green stirred up the lake in Ling Zhen's heart, and the water rippled like a pond on a windy day.
Ling Zhen suddenly pulled out his sword Hong Mo, held it in his hand, mobilized his majestic inner strength, and slashed at the boundless sky with more than a dozen swords.
Each sword was as powerful as a rainbow, but it was a waste of energy as it struck the air without killing anyone.
Ling Zhen's move was meaningless, it was just a way to vent the anger and dissatisfaction in his chest.
The man in Tsing Yi still didn't show up.
Since a person with such a level of cultivation is determined to hide, then with Ling Zhen alone, he is determined not to be found!
The young man in green robe continued to send his sword energy towards the sky like crazy. He kept drawing out his sword in anger.
Next to the young man's feet were two pitiful corpses with broken necks. One was Lan Qin and the other was Lan Hua.
They all died at the hands of people in Tsing Yi, an extremely miserable death for Yu Xiangxiao!
"Don't waste your strength in vain. Why squander the little internal strength you finally developed?"
The man in Tsing Yi said, "No matter how you say or scold me, it's impossible for me to show up. I might as well tell you the reason. I'm afraid of the ray of supreme sword energy you have in Shanzhongfuhai. That's the Sword God." I can't stop Yu Youcong's thing. If you hit me with a sword like that after I show up, I will die, so I can't talk to you one-on-one."
Ling Zhen used a mocking tone and uttered a series of "haha", shouting: "Coward, you are such an honest waste, you told me everything... Then tell me quickly, what is your purpose?" , you killed the Lan sisters and teased you, Uncle Ling, and me again and again, what exactly was your intention?"
After the man in Tsing Yi was silent for a moment, the voice in Ling Zhenxin Lake slowly said: "I want to play a game of chess, a big chess game with the heaven and earth as the chessboard and the mortal world as the chess pieces. When the game is completed, The whole world will be shocked by me!”
"Damn it, you lunatic, what nonsense are you talking about? What's your name? I had a grudge against you in the past or something, and you want to blame me for your madness?"
Ling Zhen asked sharply, seemingly without fear or fear.
The man just said slowly: "In the future, one day in the future, you will know who I am and what my name is, but it certainly cannot be now. When that day really comes, you will know the purpose of everything I have done. , on that day, you will definitely be shocked, you will be ten times more shocked than you are now! Haha!"
Ling Zhen already wanted to dig out his heart.
I can’t wait to see who made the voice in the lake of my heart!
The voice of the man in green in the inner lake did not stop, and he continued to say happily: "I had a very good time today. I feel a sense of accomplishment to be able to let the dignified Shenyuan Crown Prince of the Ling family break through the defense like this. Just That’s it, I hope you, Ling Zhen, can also enjoy the same happiness as me, let’s just say goodbye and see you later!”
Then the voice of the man in Tsing Yi stopped ringing again.
Thinking about it, he has really gone far and left as soon as he said so.
Ling Zhen stood there alone, dumbfounded, as if he had been beaten for no reason. The sad and ridiculous thing was that not only could he not hit him back, he could not even tell what the person who hit him looked like or what his last name was. No one knows the name!
At this time, Xiao Qun, a girl in black, also came to the rooftop. She walked slowly to Ling Zhen's side and asked, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Ling Zhen said with an extremely ugly face: "The man in Tsing Yi just now said something to me in a voice that only I can hear in my heart lake. It's of no value. It's all nonsense. It's like listening to it in vain. …”
Ling Zhen, who was holding the Hongmo Sword in one hand, was almost bursting with water. He couldn't figure out the whole story and the true purpose of the people in Tsing Yi. He said in a sad voice: "Dead, all dead." The sisters of the Lan family are dead. People who may be related to the man in Tsing Yi, Ren Xing and Leng Miaoyin are also dead. Now you are the only one left, but you don’t know who the man in Tsing Yi is... What on earth does he want? What are you doing? You want to play with me? Why? He just said he wanted to play a big game of chess, a very big chess game. How big is it? What kind of chess is he playing and who is he playing with? Why should he treat me as one of his own? Chess piece? What does he want from me? What can I bring to him..."
Ling Zhen thought to himself, looking very irritable and crazy.
Xiao Qun just bowed her head and remained silent.
At this moment, Ling Zhen's mind began to become dizzy due to overthinking, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
It was as if someone was holding a big invisible hand and shaking my head hard over and over again. It was such a powerless and helpless pain!
At this moment, Xiao Qun suddenly spoke thoughtfully: "Ling Zhen, have you ever thought that maybe he wants to break your Taoist heart?"
Ling Zhen was startled and immediately looked at Xiao Qun, eyes widened, "What did you say?"
Xiao Qun repeated it again, "Tao heart is an extremely important thing on the monk's path of cultivation."
Ling Zhen was dumbfounded and said after a while: "You mean, the reason why he played with me like this but refused to kill me is probably because he wanted to use that method to break my Taoist heart. Have you cut off your path to immortality?"
Xiao Qun nodded and said: "Yes, the possibility is not small. Even if you become the owner of Tianshen Villa in the future, you will only be a mediocre or useless person for the rest of your life. And the man in Tsing Yi is very likely to He will use your status as a mediocre person to achieve some of his ulterior plots. You don’t need to guess too much to know the purpose behind it. It must be something that is beneficial to him and extremely vicious. If not, why would he bother? Using such despicable means?"
Ling Zhen agreed with this and nodded heavily, "It makes sense, it makes so much sense!"
The monk's mental state will be directly equated with the achievement of the Tao. Once the mental state is bad and the Tao heart collapses, then everything will stop and there will be no future!
The heart of the Tao is like a glazed cloud, fragile and easy to scatter, extremely difficult to protect, but very easy to destroy.
Ling Zhen hurriedly sat down cross-legged and began to slowly adjust his breath and internal energy. He had learned a Taoist magical power called "Lingxian Dingshen Gong" from Xianhao, the master of Daxuantong Temple.
You can use this technique to stabilize your Taoist mind and prevent your mental state from being destroyed due to certain reasons.
Traveling on the great road requires money and money, and the so-called follow-up is the most important thing for a practitioner and should not be underestimated in the slightest!
After repairing his state of mind bit by bit, Ling Zhen's "Tao heart", which had just shaken, was soon stabilized.
Ling Zhen was still sitting on the ground, with his hands on his knees. He said gently to Xiao Qun: "Sit down, come, sit next to me."
Xiao Qun obeyed his words and sat down cross-legged, right next to Ling Zhen.
Ling Zhen had stopped adjusting his movements, and his condition had become extremely good. He opened his eyes, looked at the girl in black with a smile, and said in a more sincere tone: "Thank you, if it hadn't been for your advice just now, my I'm afraid that there will really be a flaw in my Taoist heart. In that case, it would be really bad. Maybe on my future spiritual path, that green robe will stand in the way and become an integral part of my inner demons. , that will put me under his shadow for a long time... Sigh, thinking about it makes people feel scared. I can’t be so angry next time, it’s too dangerous.”
Xiao Qun said lightly: "It's okay, I just said that casually, because the behavior of the man in Tsing Yi was too unreasonable and unbelievable, but some things may seem complicated, but in fact the logic behind them is not too difficult. , I tried to guess in a different way. I can’t guarantee whether it’s accurate or not. Can ghosts guess the thoughts of freaks accurately? But one day it became obvious that that person had great intentions. It’s so big that it’s unimaginable.”
Ling Zhen nodded, acknowledged this again, and said: "What you said is not wrong at all. This guy's methods are so ruthless that even my Taoist heart was almost damaged. What that guy is planning is very likely. Not only is it targeting me, it may even threaten the entire Tianshen Villa, as well as my father! Alas, he is such an evil obstacle that even ten thousand deaths are not too many!"
Ling Zhen bit his back molar in hatred again.
"Since you know that you are being targeted and it is so dangerous outside, why don't we go back? Tianshen Villa is the safest place."
Xiao Qun reminded her kindly.
Ling Zhen didn't intend to adopt this opinion, "Go back? What a joke, why should I go back? If I just go back like this, what's the difference between that and fleeing back? Do I think I'm the brave Tsing Yi man? If I really Go home in such a miserable state, who knows how bad my Taoism will become!"
"Then, do you want to continue walking?"
Xiao Qun asked, "Aren't you afraid of being outside and falling into the plan of the man in green?"
"I'm afraid. I've been knocked unconscious twice. How can I not be afraid? But is fear useful? If he is afraid, he won't hurt me?"
Ling Zhen smiled and said, "It's not just the man in Tsing Yi who killed Qian Dao. There are too many people in this world who want to kill me, Ling Zhen, and he's the only one who wants to kill me! I would be really afraid today." , I am also afraid of tomorrow. I worry about being killed suddenly all day long, and I am in panic all day long. Then I will wipe my neck with the sword as soon as possible, and it will be clean. How good is it? I will definitely go to Nanhai, and I will definitely go to the White Bone Sword Sect. I have to do many, many more things to destroy those who have killed me personally. Before I die, I must live with a clear conscience..."
Suddenly, the young man in the blue robe suddenly exerted his strength and stood up from the ground. He stretched out his finger, pointed at the sky, and shouted loudly: "You man in blue, you are a turtle with a shrunken head, just hide away. In your blue tortoise shell, I know you have means, young master, come on, whatever skills and abilities you have, show me your strength! I really want to see it, you don’t even dare to show your face Can this guy kill me? What a big game he can play!"
Then, with a vertical movement, Ling Zhen, a sword cultivator at the third level of Pingxu Realm, hovered in the wind even though he had already expended a lot of energy.
In mid-air, he continued to raise his figure.
Not long after, they arrived above the sea of clouds and under the big round moon.
Ling Zhen faced the bright moon.
The bright and bright moonlight shone on the young man in green robe, making his whole body bright, like a god in the fairy world!
Ling Zhen aimed for a higher place, as if facing the fairy in the Moon Palace. He shouted with all his strength: "Do you think I can't defeat you? Your grandfather, I am the Shenyuan Crown Prince of Tianshen Villa, and the future Great Sword Immortal. Martial God! Green Turtle, don’t you like playing chess? Don’t you want to use me as one of your chess pieces? Then just wait, wait for me, and see how one day in the future, I will give you all your chessboards You lifted it!"
On the roof, Xiao Qun, a girl in black, also stood up. She looked up at the sky and heard some words from Ling Zhen. Xiao Qun's expression was very complicated. She pressed her throat in a voice that only she could hear. , murmured in a low voice: "Can you beat my father..."
After a while, Ling Zhen swooped down from the sky and returned to the top of the Red Dream Tower.
He stood next to Xiao Qun's body, looked at Xiao Qun who was a little favored by him, smiled and squeezed the latter's shoulder.
Xiao Qun's expression calmed down and she praised: "What you just said was really courageous."
Ling Zhen burst into laughter immediately, "Are you praising me? Oh, by the way, you comforted me just now and solved such a big trouble for me... Why, could it be that you don't hate me anymore? Already?"
Xiao Qun immediately changed her facial expression, "Hate, how could I not hate you? You tortured me so much..."
Ling Zhen raised an eyebrow and said, "The duplicitous guy clearly helped me and refused to admit it. You...could you have fallen in love with me? Haha, you are attracted by my overly handsome appearance and... Impressed by Qi Yu's extraordinary demeanor, you put aside your past grudges and fall in love with me completely?"
Xiao Qun let out a soft sigh and said angrily: "You know how to fart, and you still fall in love with you. Just now I should have knelt on the ground and begged the man in green to give me some poison. I will give you some poison one day when you are not prepared." , let you die, you can only stop talking nonsense if you die!"
Ling Zhen didn't speak anymore, he just laughed happily and laughed loudly!
That night, in this brothel, Ling Zhen really made a scene without reservation.
While the night was still dark, Ling Zhen took the corpses of Lan Qin and Lan Hua to a good place outside the city near the Huai River. There was no need to pay attention to Feng Shui, as long as it could stay away from dirty places such as brothels.
A tomb was dug for them overnight, and they were buried together like this, the extremely hard-working sisters of the Lan family who died tragically at the hands of others.
Before the two girls' new graves, Ling Zhen cut off a strand of hair and solemnly swore that he would find the damn man in Tsing Yi and avenge the Lan sisters one day!
When Dongfang Yubai turned white and everything was over, Ling Zhen stayed up all night, taking Xiao Qun with him, and returned to Qinhuai City. This time he no longer went to the brothel, but directly returned to the inn in the city, and came to the place where he was supposed to be. A place to stay for one night.
At this moment, the sky was getting bright, and the chirping of birds could be heard in the trees. Ling Zhen's eighth sister, Ling Xiaoxiao, had just woken up and got up in a daze.
That night, she slept soundly. She was comfortable in bed all night. She had no idea what kind of thrilling things her brother had experienced last night.
Ling Zhen didn't talk to her sister either. Some things were best left unsaid.
Because he was still thinking about the battle last night and the insidious plots of the people in Tsing Yi, Ling Zhen had no intention of catching up on sleep until now.
People who practice can already do it for extremely long periods of time without resting. Ling Zhen once practiced asceticism in Guixu, so he is no exception. Of course he can do it.
Before leaving the inn, Ling Xiaoxiao noticed that Ling Zhen was abnormal and asked why his brother was a little dazed today and his reflexes were not very sensitive.
Ling Zhen didn't want to say anything more, so he just explained it by saying that he didn't have a good rest last night. Sister Xiaoxiao was naive and never suspected her brother, so she believed him.
That day, the siblings of the Ling family embarked on their journey south again.
————
After the Red Dream Mansion incident, Ling Zhen went through too much. Fortunately, his life was not in danger.
I just realized that my cultivation level and ability to deal with things were not enough, which was a fatal weakness.
As a monk of the third level of Pingxu Realm, he can be poisoned secretly, or in the weird form of sealing the acupoints and meridians after inhalation. Falling down in the same pit twice is really a kind of thing. shame.
The situation when you go out is extremely bad and very dangerous!
After understanding this, Ling Zhen went to Xu Bailing, the master of the Red Lian Gui Ruins, with a shy face. He hoped that Sister Xu, who had a high level of cultivation and very powerful methods, could help him practice a skill that allows him to hold his breath and concentrate. exercises.
Xu Bailing's face looked a little downcast. She thought for a long time and hesitated for a long time before reluctantly agreeing.
Because she does know a skill called "Turtle Breathing Technique". Once you master this skill, you can go for days or even months without breathing. Even when fighting with others, you don't need to take a breath at all. !
It's just that the Dao of this skill belongs to water, which conflicts with Xu Bailing's Taoist attributes. And this is not the most important thing. The most important point is that this skill was taught to her by an "old friend" of Xu Bailing's. of.
As soon as you start practicing this skill, it will inevitably bring back all kinds of memories from the past, making you miss that person...
But for Ling Zhen, a talented and proud junior, Xu Bailing was still willing to bite the bullet and pass on the Turtle Breathing Technique to him.
Because Ling Zhen has an innately enlightened body, his interest in common techniques is very limited and he doesn't like to study them repeatedly.
But this time, I was violently poisoned and passed out twice. I gained wisdom every time I learned it. Therefore, I practiced Turtle Breath Technique very seriously this time. I repeated the practice meticulously, which was considered as a thorough practice of this technique. It’s time to get the hang of it!
After practicing the technique, Ling Zhen asked Sister Xu why she had lost all luck after having both Silkworm Bone Powder and Qiang Yuan Powder in her body, and couldn't use Qinglong Qi to save herself, so she could only fall into a coma. ?
Xu Bailing was very thoughtful and told Ling Zhen about the unique reaction that occurred after fully combining the two strange drugs, as some kind of precious knowledge about cultivation.
And he was warned seriously that it was enough that this kind of thing happened once. The danger was extremely dangerous and there must be no chance of it happening again.
Otherwise, your life is in the hands of others, and you are very likely to end up with a sad end that is worse than death. Then let’s stop everything!
Ling Zhen nodded repeatedly and promised loudly that there would be no next time.
Xu Bailing also taught Ling Zhen some secret cultivation methods to analyze the trend of his own meridians and Qi movement, and whether there was any abnormality. Ling Zhen kept it in mind without daring to leave a single word.
Also in the secret realm of the bracelet in Chi Lian Guixu, the magic slough "elm money" purchased by Ling Zhen from that prosperous auction house at an unbelievable price was finally sold out under Xu Bailing's tireless teachings. All the energy has been stripped away.
He has lost all his arrogance and the demonic power of his previous life. He obediently recognizes his master Ling Zhen and spits out a lot of gold and silver every day.
Basically, every time you open your mouth, the precious things you spit out are enough to buy a real estate in the capital of the Splendid Dynasty. Ordinary people will never earn that much money in their lifetime!
Yuqian Yuqian can generate tens of thousands of money, which is truly a well-deserved reputation.
Ling Zhen also prepared hundreds of huge boxes for this furry little guy with only one horn, and Xiao Qun, a girl in black, was in charge of managing them.
There are no other tasks, just transfer all the money that Yu Qian spits out into those boxes every day.
As Yuqian's respect for Ling Zhen as its "master" grows, it speaks out an increasingly astonishing amount of treasure every day, attracting wealth day and night. Ling Zhen is in a really good mood!
Who in the world can not love money?
Ling Zhen felt very pleased that one day he might even be able to compete with Song Yao, the richest man in the Dapu Dynasty.
After entering the Scarlet Lianxu Bracelet, Ling Zhen and Sister Xu briefly engaged in actual combat for several hours. After that, he touched the body of the little golden-haired guy, looked down at the Demon Sloughed Elm Coin, and said softly: "Yuanbao. Yuanbao, spit out a few more gold and silver ingots, try to... spit out a mountain of gold and silver for me!"
