Pure Yang Sword Sovereign

Chapter 2
Who knows that there are many unexpected things in the world.The original wife, Mrs. Zhao, who hadn't given birth for several years, unexpectedly had a dark pregnancy at this time, which is really dumbfounding.The elder wife and concubine gave birth on the same day, with only one hour difference between each other. The elder wife took the lead and gave birth to the eldest son, while the concubine gave birth to the second son.Even though they were both second sons, Old Lady Ling couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, because she loved her second daughter-in-law more in her selfish heart and hoped that she would give birth to her eldest son.But Ling Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard about it, he read too much, his mind was full of the Confucian thought of being loyal to the emperor and keeping the family in order, the eldest son was born to the old lady, the family house would have no hidden worries in the future, and it would be harmonious, wouldn't it be beautiful?Unexpectedly, the elder woman, mother and child were safe, but the second wife collapsed after giving birth, and passed away without even looking at the child.

Although Ling Zhen was somewhat bookish and indecisive, he was extremely strict in managing the family. He immediately ordered his wife to raise his two sons as if they were her own, and she must not slack off in the slightest.The wife also agreed with tears.The old lady is also very sad, but the matter has come to this point, it is just sad and unintentional.Immediately, Ling Zhen's old father-in-law was picked up from the countryside, and then the second wife was buried with honor as the first wife.

The eldest son was named Ling Kang, and the second son was named Ling Chong.The eldest lady came from a famous family, and her disposition can be considered gentle. Although one is a concubine and the other is a concubine, the daily care can't help but look differently, but in the end she didn't dare to beat and insult her, or drive her out of the house.In the blink of an eye, fifteen years passed by.Ling Chong grew up safely and in good health.It's just that his grandfather was heartbroken over the death of his beloved daughter, and he passed away after the third year of the Ling Mansion.

Since then, Ling Chong has no family members. His elder brother Ling Kang is very like his father, pedantic and upright, so he is the most favored by his father.On the other hand, Ling Chong has a distasteful temper and doesn't like to read books. He only likes nonsense stories about the history of mountains and fields, swordsmen and knights, which makes Ling Zhen often get furious and reprimand him for not doing his job properly.Fortunately, the old lady loves this little grandson the most, and she insists on defending it. With this backing, Ling Zhen really dare not do anything to the second son.

Fortunately, although Ling Chong is not doing his job properly, he has one advantage. He has an easy-going temperament, which is not comparable to ordinary playboys.The steward of the dynasty possessed unique skills, and was a master in the Jianghu back then. He had served three generations of the Ling family, and the second son born to Ling Zhen was the only one who had eyes for Ling Chong and loved him very much.Even his own martial arts stunts that he has never shown to others are also taught from the bottom of his pocket.In his opinion, although Ling Chong is a bit young and inexperienced, his nature is pure and kind, and his mind is rarely active. In terms of aptitude alone, he is much higher than his brother.

The two hit the mountain on horseback. Today Ling Chong was sitting idle in the mansion, and he suddenly became interested. He insisted on visiting Chu Mountain. He grew up in Jinling, and he did not know how many times he came to Chu Mountain. It was just this time on a whim, but why? Can't stop it either.The dynasty had no choice but to follow.Chu Mountain is hundreds of feet high, which is considered extremely high in the south. It has been visited by many literati and poets in the past dynasties, and it has always been a famous place in Jinling.

When the two arrived at the horse resting pavilion at the foot of the mountain, they dismounted from their horses. Naturally, a servant in charge of feeding the horses took over the reins.The two paid the fare, gave a few more instructions, and went up the mountain.Chu Mountain is hundreds of feet high, and the mountain is low and steep. It can be regarded as a sudden rise in the Jiangnan Plain.Ling Chong and the two didn't perform lightness kung fu, but Shi Shiran walked up the mountain slowly.Wang Chao looked at Ling Chong's back, and secretly smiled wryly: "This young master's talent for learning martial arts is undeniable. He has cultivated a mouthful of pure innate qi at a young age, and with this, he can open up his own second line of leadership. He was already 35 years old when he achieved it. It’s a pity that he has a young mind, thinking about things, and has no set formula. If he can calm down and learn martial arts, he will become one of the best masters in the world within a few years.” Thinking about it, suddenly With a bitter smile: "So what if you become a master? After learning martial arts, wouldn't you be like me, make many enemies, implicate your wife, and end up a lonely family, lingering on your last breath?"

Ling Chong suddenly turned his head and smiled: "Uncle Wang, your mood is disturbed, what are you thinking?" Wang Chao was startled: "Master has such a keen sense of heart, I was just thinking, with the qualifications of the young master, if you can be gentle and gentle, if you can calm down If you practice it, you will be able to achieve a great career in the future and honor the ancestors of the Ling family." Ling Chong yawned, showing a lack of interest, and said with a smile: "Why do you speak like my father? Didn't I say it a long time ago? It's not what I wish for Hou Baixiang, the only thing I want in this life is to become a fairy!" Speaking of the word "Chengxian", a dazzling light suddenly burst out in his eyes, but it's a pity that Wang Dynasty followed behind him, but he didn't see it.

Wang Chao smiled bitterly and said: "Young master, is it easy to be a fairy? Dinning clouds and drinking dew, immortality, looks beautiful, but in reality there are thorns and thorns every step of the way, and countless disasters. It's called wrong! Throughout the ages, those who seek immortality are like crucian carp crossing the river, but who has attained the Tao and ascended? It can be seen that the road to immortality has no proof, it is difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

Ling Chong said in disbelief: "Didn't there be an immortal master from Tianjing who came to Jinling the year before last to perform, that flying sword flying technique, tsk tsk, even if I have practiced martial arts to the extreme, I may not be able to achieve such a state. It can be seen that the road to immortality is promising. Not unfounded."

Since ancient times, there have been myths of immortals and Buddhas in the world, but in reality there are indeed people who practice Taoism. It is said that they can surpass mountains and seas and create things out of thin air. There are many such characters enshrined in the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial court classified these cultivators according to their supernatural powers, and incorporated them into the bureaucratic system, allowing them to serve the Ming Dynasty.These people are collectively called Immortal Masters, and among them, Cao Jing, who is recognized as having the highest level of cultivation, is the current national teacher Cao Jing. It is said that his mana can penetrate ghosts and gods, can make clouds and rain, and spread beans into soldiers. Even the current emperor relies heavily on him.The year before last, some of his disciples followed Emperor Hui's seventh younger brother, the King of Qin, to Jinling to worship their ancestors. Ling Zhen was the minister of the Ministry of Rites. , After tormenting my grandmother for a long time, the old lady spoke, and ordered Ling Zhen to find an opportunity to introduce him to several immortal masters.

Seeing that he was the son of Ling Zhen, those immortal masters did not refuse. They tried out the trick of flying swords soaring into the air and taking people's heads on the spot. If you want to learn from immortals and swords, you will live forever if you prove it.Although Ling Zhen was also surprised by these immortal methods, but he is a serious scholar, and he turned a blind eye without saying anything strange, but instead reprimanded Ling Chong more, and the father and son have been in a stalemate until today.

Wang Chao sneered and said: "Hmph, flying sword Liuguang, taking someone's head from thousands of miles away is so majestic! Those few are just the superficial knowledge of Taoism, and their qualifications are not good. Young Master, don’t be fooled by them.” Ling Chong suddenly turned his head and shouted: “Uncle Wang, look at that immortal master, have you ever met a real practitioner? Tell me quickly!”

Wang Chao's eyes showed nostalgia, and he said slowly: "Where have I seen him before? It was only 30 years ago, when I was chasing and killing a one-legged thief, I happened to find a thousand-year-old red fruit in the deep mountains. , who would have known that there was a red-trained poisonous python guarding him, who sprayed a mouthful of poisonous gas, and saw the snake's kiss when he was buried, but there was a divine light rising from the mountain, which only circled a few times, and the three-foot-long poisonous python could not even hum. No hum, it turned into a puddle of flesh and blood, after that the divine light swept away the vermilion fruit, and left one for me, I swallowed it, and this saved me from death, after that, the old lady led people to pass by and rescued me Only then did you save a life."

Ling Chong lived for 15 years, never heard of the past of Wang Chao, and asked: "What happened after that? What happened after that?" Wang Chao said with a wry smile: "Afterwards, I also went back to that place and waited hard. I only hoped to see the god again. Just one glance is enough to die, but who knows that after three years of guarding nothing, when I came out of the mountain, I was shocked to hear that the enemy's family was in trouble, and my wife and a pair of children were all killed. I was so angry that I killed 13 people from the enemy's family with my sword After being killed, he was seriously injured, so he had no choice but to defect to the old man, and he has been in the Ling family until now."

His words were light, but the whole family was killed and revenge alone was full of heroism and grief. Ling Chong opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.At this moment, the two of them had already reached the halfway up the mountain, suddenly a blur appeared in front of their eyes, and a young monk was standing in front of them with a smile on his face.This monk was only eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a monk's robe, holding an alms bowl in his hand, it was pitch black and inconspicuous.This young monk has a fair complexion, but the alms bowl in his hand is extremely black, one white and one black, making it even more interesting.
