Ling Dong braved the wind and snow all the way to the front yard of his father Ling Yuanshan, but was told by the servant that Ling Yuanshan had gone to the backyard where he lived. Ling Dong felt a little strange and walked towards his own yard!
Living in a big family has its disadvantages. For example, on this snowy day, there was not much snow on the ground during the day. Servants were constantly cleaning, which ruined the tranquility of the snowy day for no reason!
When they arrived at the small backyard where they lived, Ling Dong saw Ling Yuanshan from afar. He was standing at the door watching two servants move things in. He smiled and said something to Gao Yuan, which made Ling Dong feel strange!
"Dad, what are you doing?" Ling Dong walked closer and was completely shocked. What the two men brought in were plates of freshly cut vegetables and meat.
"Oh, Dong'er is back. I was about to ask Gao Yuan to find you!" Seeing Ling Dong's confused look, Ling Yuanshan held Ling Dong's shoulders and smiled: "Come on, come on, it's snowing today.
, I happened to have nothing to do, so I asked the kitchen to make a hot pot so we can have a chat!"
"Hot pot?" When he entered the room and saw the steaming hot pot with a copper charcoal core, as well as various cuts of meat and vegetables on the table, Ling Dong understood that his emotional father wanted to eat with him!
"Well, come on, come on, sit down, sit down and talk!" Ling Yuanshan boiled a pot of good wine himself, sat opposite Ling Dong, and began to boil the meat!
In the midst of the steaming heat, eating a few slices of spicy mutton dissipated a lot of the coldness from his body. Ling Dong looked at Ling Yuanshan and was a little confused, where did his father drink today?
What made Ling Dong even more strange was that Ling Yuanshan actually stood up and poured the wine himself. Ling Dong wanted to pour the wine, but he wouldn't let him!
"Dong'er, do you know what day it is today?" Ling Yuanshan raised his glass!
"What day is your birthday, dad?" Ling Dong blushed and guessed in surprise. At the same time, he shouted that he was ashamed that he had been a son for two generations and he didn't even remember his father's birthday. It was really shameful!
Ling Yuanshan showed an angry look: "You kid, are you making fun of your dad? Today is not your dad's birthday, it's your birthday. You don't even remember your birthday, right?"
"My birthday?" Ling Dong's eyes widened instantly. He really didn't remember it!
"What, did I remember correctly? Isn't December 5th your birthday?" Ling Yuanshan said in surprise!
"December 5th..." Ling Dong murmured, but his eyes were full of complexity. Birthday, this word is too far away for him. He was burdened with hatred in his previous life, and celebrating birthdays is a luxury.
Later, he couldn't even remember the specific day!
"Why are you so dazed? Come and have a drink. Dad wishes you a happy birthday!" Ling Yuanshan raised his glass again!
"Thank you, dad!" Ling Dong took a deep breath and wiped the tears from his eyes while he was drinking. Then he stood up and rushed to fill Ling Yuanshan's glass of wine!
"Dad, look at my memory. I even confused your birthday with mine. I should fight!" After pouring the wine, Ling Dong smiled shyly and asked shamelessly: "Dad, when is your birthday exactly?
, I can’t figure it out!”
"You kid!" Ling Yuanshan smiled and pointed at Ling Dong: "July 21st!"
"July 21st!" Ling Dong nodded heavily and drank all the contents of the cup, but he secretly thought in his heart that in this life, he must remember this day, not like the last life, which was the only thing he remembered.
, it’s my father’s memorial day!
The father and son gathered around the hot pot, one cup for you and one chopstick for me, and they were enjoying themselves. During this period, Ling Yuanshan asked casually: "Dong'er, just now I saw Gao Yuan bring over two jars of marching wine. How about you?"
Just give me a jar and a half of it, Yue. You only drink half a jar, which is too little. In this case, just one jar for each of you and me!"
"Dad, there are not just two jars, there are five jars in total!" With a flick of his finger, three jars of marching wine appeared flat on the ground!
Ling Yuanshan slapped his forehead in a self-deprecating tone: "Oh, there are so many, I even forgot that you also have a talisman for holding things!"
Speaking of the holding talisman, Ling Yuanshan suddenly showed a mysterious look, lowered his voice and asked Ling Dong: "Dong'er, the holding talisman that appeared at the auction a few days ago, was it you who sold it?"
"At the auction?" Ling Dong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Kuixing Pavilion to actually put the talismans out for auction. "Yes, I was short of money a few days ago, so I disguised myself and sold a few!
By the way, dad, how much money did you get at the auction?"
"Eight hundred thousand taels!" Ling Yuanshan clicked his tongue!
Hearing this, Ling Dong stood up and said, "It's impossible. 10 talismans only cost 800,000 taels of silver, so wouldn't Kuixing Pavilion suffer a huge loss?" Ling Dong's 10 talismans cost only 800,000 taels of silver.
I asked for one million taels, and I still have two demon pills worth 150,000 taels!
"Who said it was 10?" Ling Yuanshan was even more surprised: "Kuixing Pavilion only auctioned one talisman, and one sold for 800,000 taels!"
"One piece!" Ling Dong's mouth opened wide. This was too damn exciting. The average price he sold to Kuixing Pavilion was just over 100,000 taels. Kuixing Pavilion's price increased eightfold in one go!
"Yes, just one was auctioned. Kuixing Pavilion also said that at the auction at the end of this month, another talisman will be auctioned. The auction positions in Kuixing Pavilion have been booked in advance!" Ling Yuanshan
Said!
"Then Ziyao is such a profiteer!" He cursed angrily, and Ling Dong returned to his normal state of mind! This thing is so crazy that if Ling Dong had chosen to auction it, he might have been able to fetch a sky-high price, but he was afraid that he would have to take the money.
No life flower.
Thinking of Ziyao, Ling Dong suddenly remembered the Qiankun Ring that he had pulled off from Ziyao a few days ago. He had been hiding it in the secret compartment under the bed and hadn't cleaned it yet. He secretly told himself to wait for it after dinner.
Open it and take a look to see what treasures are inside!
"You feel like you're at a loss, don't you? As long as you're not discovered, that's fine! From now on, you will never go out with this talisman as a last resort. You didn't see the scene at the auction. It's crazy!" Ling Yuanshan shook his head.
Said!
"Dad, I remember it! By the way, dad, do you know what the Zuo family's clan-suppressing combat skills are?" Ling Dong suddenly asked.
"The Zuo family's clan-suppressing combat skills?" Ling Yuanshan frowned and thought for a moment before replying: "The ancestors of the Zuo family haven't fought for a long time, but ten years ago, they had a fight with your grandfather. That time, you
Grandpa suffered a loss, and it is said that he used the Zhen clan's combat skills!"
"Grandpa suffered a loss? Is it a sound attack combat skill?" Ling Dong asked!
Ling Yuanshan was stunned: "How do you know? That combat skill is called Soul-shattering. It is a special sound attack combat skill. It has no direct lethality, but it can directly affect people's thinking and disturb their minds. Combat
If your mind is confused, you will suffer a big loss! In the battle ten years ago, the ancestor of the Zuo family suddenly used that combat skill to frighten the soul. Before anyone could react, he wounded your grandfather with a volley of palms.
!”
Sure enough!
After hearing his father's words, Ling Dong was even more convinced that his judgment was correct!
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Dong said: "Dad, according to what you said, this combat skill can not only disturb the mind during the battle, but also make the enemy stand out and win! Then it can also disturb the retreat at the important pass where people can break through in retreat.
The person’s mentality caused the person to fail to break through, or even suffer heavy losses!”
Ling Yuanshan put a piece of fragrant mutton to his mouth, but he didn't eat it because of Ling Dong's words.
Putting down his chopsticks gently, Ling Yuanshan's expression became extremely serious: "Dong'er, what do you mean by this? Don't be evasive and speak clearly!" Ling Yuanshan also heard something in Ling Dong's words!
Ling Dong did not answer directly, but answered something irrelevant: "Dad, I got news that someone from the Ling family sent a heavy gift to Zuo Xuancheng, the head of the Zuo family, asking to see the ancestor of the Zuo family!"
After being stunned for a moment, Ling Yuanshan stood up suddenly, his face suddenly turned extremely ugly: "Is what you said true? Is the source reliable?"
"Dad, don't worry, sit down first and listen to me!" Ling Dongxu pressed, "The source of the information is absolutely reliable, you don't have to worry about this! However, that person did not meet the ancestor of the Zuo family, because the ancestor of the Zuo family
Ancestor is also in retreat, and the time of his release is uncertain!"
Hearing this, Ling Yuanshan let out a sigh of relief: "It's okay!"
"Dad, can you see it? Maybe, someone wants to deal with grandpa who is in seclusion and practicing hard. Some people don't want grandpa to break through to the earth evil realm!" Ling Dong said!
Ling Yuanshan glared at Ling Dong: "You can see it, I can't see it, I don't even finish talking, I'm so surprised!"
"Hey, aren't you too impatient, dad?" Ling Dong smiled apologetically, and then asked, "Dad, I want to know, what are the chances that grandpa will break through the Earthly Evil Realm this time in seclusion?"
Hearing this question, the corner of Ling Yuanshan's mouth twitched: "Not even 30%! Four years ago, your grandfather spent all the family's financial resources to get an Ice Lotus Breaking Pill that was specially used to break through bottlenecks. However, the Ice Lotus Breaking Pill
Pills are generally used by warriors below the Earthly Evil Realm to break through bottlenecks! They are used as auxiliary elixirs to break through to the Earthly Evil Realm, but they are not very useful! However, the family’s financial resources are limited, so that’s all it can do!”
"Less than 30%, but he can still fight!" Ling Dong had little understanding of the Ling family's family affairs in his previous life, and he had no idea about his grandfather's failure to pass the test! Judging from the current situation, it might be possible that
Someone did something!
"By the way, dad, can you contact the place where grandpa is in retreat?" Ling Dong continued to ask!
Ling Yuanshan shook his head: "It's difficult. The Dragon-Breaking Stone has been planted in the place where your grandfather retreats. There is always a family elder who takes turns guarding it! Unless the family is in danger of life and death, otherwise you are not allowed to disturb it! Why do you ask this?"
"I'm thinking... if I can contact Grandpa, I might be able to help him a little bit, giving him a greater chance of making a breakthrough!" Ling Dong said!
Ling Yuanshan immediately became happy: "You kid, you didn't tell me earlier! It's not difficult to contact your grandfather, but it's just a little troublesome. Every half month, you have to send some dry food and water to your grandfather through the reserved channel.
.”
After a pause, Ling Yuanshan asked again: "Tell me, how can you help your grandpa!"
Ling Dong shook his head and said, "Dad, you can't do it now! By the way, dad, I will most likely be traveling far away recently."
"For your grandfather's affairs?" Ling Yuanshan asked doubtfully!
