On the second day of Ling Zhiyuan's fifteenth birthday, Ling Hongyun found an excuse and made him kneel in the ancestral hall all night to think about his mistakes.
It's useless for anyone to plead for mercy!
And this is not the first time Ling Zhiyuan has received such punishment.
But what was different from before was that just when he was dozing off late at night, Ling Hongyun appeared quietly.
Take him to this room in the backyard and teach him how to open the secret room!
This secret room is now in front of Wang Chen.
The secret room is not very spacious, with shelves on three walls and various large and small boxes placed there.
Wang Chen swept all these boxes into his storage space without even looking at them.
Not a single one left!
Because what is stored in this secret room is the wealth passed down from generation to generation by the Ling Family. In addition to gold, silver, jewelry and antiques, there are also skills, weapons, medicinal materials, etc.
Considering that he might not come back for a long time, Wang Chen naturally wanted to wipe it all away.
At worst, wait until the blood oath is completed, and then give the remaining part to the Ling Family's successor.
In a matter of moments, the secret room became empty.
Wang Chen exited, closed the mechanism again, restored everything to its original state, and then left the room.
Of course he didn't forget to put the door lock back on.
At this moment, Wang Chen suddenly felt strange and turned around suddenly.
I saw an old man with white hair standing under the eaves of the corridor in front, holding a lantern.
Seeing this person, Wang Chen couldn't help but blurt out. "Third uncle?"
This old man is the caretaker of the Ling Family Ancestral Hall and the elder of Ling Hongyun.
What surprised Wang Chen was that with his keen eyes and ears, he didn't notice the other party's appearance in advance.
Despite this, Wang Chen had no intention of killing.
Because this third uncle has no children, but he is very good to the children of the clan, including Ling Zhiyuan.
Ling Zhiyuan Every time he was punished and had to kneel down in the ancestral hall, his third uncle would secretly give him some food and drink.
Therefore, even if there is a risk of exposure, Wang Chen will not be cruel to such an old man.
"Xiaoyuan?"
The third uncle was surprised at first, and then waved to him in relief. "Come, I have something to tell you."
The old man held a lantern and walked to a nearby wing, then pushed the door open and entered.
Wang Chen hesitated and followed.
In the room, the third uncle put the lantern on the table, smiled at Wang Chen and said, "Are you here to get something left by your father?"
Wang Chen nodded. "Yes."
"I knew it."
The third uncle was not surprised at all, and said with emotion, "Dad has been smart since he was a child, and his talent in martial arts is also outstanding. If he hadn't been burdened by family affairs, he would have already achieved the level of martial arts."
"He shouldn't have died, he was just too confident."
Wang Chen is silent.
The most content in Ling Zhiyuan's memory is all related to Ling Hongyun.
The latter was like a big mountain, both protecting Ling Zhiyuan and pressing on his head.
Ling Zhiyuan's distaste for Wu Xiwen is essentially a form of rebellion against his father, a young middle school student.
In the memory of Ling Zhiyuan, Ling Hongyun is indeed a very proud person.
But also very smart.
For example, placing the treasure secret room underground in the ancestral hall instead of in the heavily guarded Ling Manor.
In fact, there is a secret room in the Ling Manor, but it is obviously to hide it from others - it would be abnormal if it didn't exist!
Wang Chen took off the mask.
The third uncle was startled - he recognized Ling Zhiyuan from the voice just now.
The old man from the clan sighed, "You have really grown up."
Wang Chen asked, "Third uncle, do you know who is dealing with my father and us Ling Family?"
This time it was the third uncle's turn to be silent.
After a long time, he said, "Zhiyuan, to tell you the truth, my uncle has a guess, but he is not sure. If I tell you now, it will only harm you."
After a pause, the old man from the clan continued, "Zhiyuan, you'd better go. The farther you go, the better. If you pass on our Ling Family bloodline, we will be worthy of our ancestors!"
"As for this idiot Ling Hongfeng, sooner or later he will put Ling Family into someone else's pocket, and he won't live long!"
Wang Chen thought for a while and said, "Third uncle, I have now become a scholar Blood-Clad Guard and serve under Jiangyuan City Metropolitan Guard Bureau."
"Blood-Clad Guard?"
The third uncle opened his eyes wide in disbelief. "Okay, okay, okay!"
He said the word "good" three times in a row, and the shock in his heart was evident.
Ling Zhiyuan's lack of progress was well-known throughout the Anyang City community. Unexpectedly, less than a year later, this cowardly boy in the past turned into a Blood-Clad Guard who could stop a child from crying at night!
If Ling Hongyun is not dead and Ling Family is still the same Ling Family, then the third uncle will never approve of Ling Zhiyuan joining Blood-Clad Guard and becoming a Imperial Court eagle dog.
But in this current situation, Blood-Clad Guard's identity is Ling Zhiyuan's best protection!
The old man in the tribe couldn't help but grab Wang Chen's arm and said excitedly, "Since you have chosen this path, you must work hard. The higher you climb, the less anyone dares to touch you. We Ling Family have hope!"
Wang Chen nodded. "Third uncle, I will definitely work hard."
The third uncle was extremely pleased. "You are much more sensible than before..."
"Then there's one thing I have to tell you. I haven't even told your father, that is, the last two levels of Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheels's skills are hidden in the Library Pavilion of the Yuntai Mountain Daoist Palace."
"After you gain the strength of Wuzong, it is best to ascend to the high position of Blood-Clad Guard and then find a way to get it."
Wang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. "Yuntai Mountain Daoist Palace!"
His main purpose of secretly returning to Anyang City this time was to get back the treasure of the Ling Family, because it contained the follow-up skills of Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheels.
Without follow-up techniques, Wang Chen cannot break through the Third Tier Martial Master realm unless he gives up Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheels.
However, Ling Family's secretly taught Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheels only has the first five levels of skills, and the last two levels are said to have been lost for a long time.
Ling Hongyun has been tracing it, but to no avail.
Wang Chen originally planned to find a new technique that would lead him to the pinnacle after he reached the martial arts realm.
Unexpectedly, the third uncle actually knew the whereabouts of the last two levels of Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheels.
What an unexpected surprise!
"Remember to be careful."
The third uncle said, "No matter what you want to do, you must first protect yourself."
"Go back. Don't come back until you reach a high position!"
Wang Chen bowed respectfully to the elder of the clan, and then quietly left the ancestral hall.
After he left, the third uncle came to the ancestral hall and knelt in front of the ancestral tablet.
"My ancestors and ancestors, please protect Ling Zhiyuan and protect him from danger in the future!"
After reciting the prayer, he picked up the oil candle on the altar table and threw it on the curtain next to it.
The candle flame quickly ignited the curtain and soon spread to the entire temple.
Surrounded by blazing flames, the third uncle kneeling on the ground showed no fear at all.
He smiled and closed his eyes.
