Chapter 2: The Millennium
A thousand years ago, the Ling family was a wealthy family, with many talents, and the patriarch was named the "Xia King", hereditary replacement, even if it was an ordinary child in the clan, he could also be called a brother and sister to the people in the royal family.
The scenery is extreme.
It's a pity that he was later convicted and demoted, the title of "Xia Wang" was given by Emperor Taizu, and it was not easy for the monarchs of later generations to be deprived, but all the Yulu was gone, although the clan was not destroyed, but the family was raided.
Since then, he has been destitute.
Originally, this was not enough to make the Ling family fall, but the house leak happened to rain overnight, and a vicious curse was imposed on the Ling family.
In the past, the Ling family had produced many geniuses, not to mention that everyone could practice martial arts, but the talent of the core disciples was far from being comparable to other sect families.
Not to mention second-rate, third-rate masters, they are first-class powerhouses, and they are endless.
The refining body is divided into nine layers, if it is condensed to the sixth layer, it is a first-class master on the rivers and lakes, this kind of strong man, with the courage of ten thousand people, can be in the army, take the head of the general, walk the rivers and lakes, and the scenery is beyond the situation.
If you are willing to serve the imperial court, it is even more incredible, given by the Son of Heaven himself, the second rank of the loyal general, the power is equivalent to the county guard, the supreme of thousands of miles.
Not only is the power monstrous, but he will also give a large amount of gold and silver every year, and he is even qualified to marry the daughter of the royal family.
Of course, not a princess, but also a close relative of the royal family of Jin Zhi Yuye.
One person has ascended to heaven, and it is extremely rare for a first-class master to ascend, if one family comes out of one, the strength of the entire family can be qualitatively improved.
In the Ling family back then, it was not unusual, at that time, the situation of the entire family was that the second rate was not as good as a dog, and the first-class walked all over the ground.
It sounds exaggerated, but it is true, but it is a pity that it was all a thousand years ago, and now the Ling family has completely declined, and they can't even afford to eat.
All of these changes stem from a curse.
Thousands of years have passed, and no one knows the origin of that curse, only that after that, the Ling family's disciples' talent for practicing martial arts has become extremely different.
And one generation is not as good as the next, in the past hundred years, not even a third-rate master has ever come out, let alone reviving the family, they are even going to be driven out of this Luoyun Mountain.
Starving!
The people are now living a very hard life.
After sorting out his memories, Ling Xian's face became extremely gloomy, but soon there was a wisp of perseverance, he didn't know why he came here, why he borrowed this Ling Xian's body to be reborn, but since he came, he was by no means as cowardly as this Ling Xian, my fate is in my hands, no matter what curse he has, I want to revive the family, and the magical flying immortal said......
Ling Xian's face showed a look of yearning.
In fact, not to mention immortal cultivators, it is the martial arts of this world, and it is also extremely mysterious, and it is too much to say that it has the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth, but the difference between martial arts practitioners and ordinary people is also like a moat.
Not everyone can practice martial arts, if there is no talent, it will be ten years of cold and summer, and it will be difficult to cultivate to the point of the first level of the refining period.
You can't get started.
This was different from Ling Xian's memories in his previous life.
However, although the requirements for practicing martial arts are harsh, the rewards obtained are also staggering, take the entry-level martial artists on the first level of the body refining period as an example, the strongest of their arms can have the strength of three hundred catties, and one punch can break a hardwood stake with the thickness of an arm.
Endurance, speed, is also far from being comparable, take cultivated land as an example, a first-order martial artist can cultivate three acres of land a day with strength, speed, and extremely amazing endurance.
And ordinary farmers, three or four skilled operators, can plough one acre of land in one day, it is good.
In other words, a martial artist at the first level of the body refining stage has ten times the efficiency of cultivating land than ordinary people, and if it is replaced by fighting, or other physical work, the gap may be much wider.
It's almost like Superman!
It's no wonder that the status of the martial artists in this world is far better than that of ordinary people.
Ling Xian's face showed a look of emotion, he himself was now a second-level martial artist in the body refining stage, his arms had the strength of five hundred catties, and one punch could shatter a calf-thick hardwood stake.
If it is put back thousands of years ago, it is naturally not worth mentioning, but in terms of the current situation of the Ling family, it is already a great figure among the younger generation.
Ling Xian was thinking in his heart, when suddenly a "bang" sound came into his ears, and the door was knocked open by something, Ling Xian was startled, turned his head, and saw a man and a woman running into the hall.
They were only fifteen or sixteen years old, extremely young, and their immature faces showed a bit of panic.
"Patriarch, patriarch, no. ”
"What's going on, don't worry, speak slowly. ”
Compared to them, Ling Xianyuan seemed mature, after all, he was also a human being in two lifetimes.
"Yes!"
Swept by Ling Xian's gaze, Ling Feng and Ling Yu actually looked a little restrained, and they faintly felt that the clan master in front of them seemed to be a little different from before.
But specifically, I am a little confused, and I can't say where the difference is.
Unconsciously, there was a hint of awe on their faces, but they were still anxious, this year's drought, the clan was counting on the land on the southern slope.
"Chen family, herding horses?"
After listening to the description of the brother and sister, Ling Xian's face also showed a trace of anger.
This Chen family is too deceitful!
He tapped his forehead and continued to sort through his memories.
This Chen family is also one of the one hundred and eight sect families in Luoyun Mountain, but in fact, it can only be regarded as a third-rate force, but it is far from being comparable to the Ling family today.
The Chen family has thousands of clansmen, including 500 core disciples who practice martial arts, and there are as many as five third-rate masters who have reached the fourth level of the body refining period.
With such a strong strength, it is not at the same level as the declining Ling family, and if it conflicts with them, the result will be extremely tragic.
But the land on the southern slope involves the rations of the clansmen, and there is no way to retreat, so this is a dead end.
No solution!
Ling Xian didn't hesitate much, turned over and stood up: "Let's go, let's go together." ”
"Yes!"
Looking at Ling Xian's calm face, the brother and sister once again felt that the patriarch was not the same as before, and they inexplicably felt a little more courage in their hearts.
Maybe the patriarch can solve this dead end.
The land on the southern slope is only a few miles away from the Ling family's mansion, and although the three of them are not yet in the realm of third-rate masters, they have practiced martial arts all year round, and their feet are not weak, and they will arrive soon.
However, as far as the eye could see, Ling Xian's face was extremely gloomy, there was a large open space on the southern slope, there were hundreds of acres, and the land was very fertile, but at this moment, the green crops were trampled by horses, and more than one-third of them had been destroyed.
If it is ripe, these tens of thousands of catties of grain are enough for the Ling clan to eat for several months, and now that it has been ruined, the remaining grain will not survive the winter.
At this time, there were nearly 100 people gathered in the fields.
Most of them were ordinary members of the Ling clan, working in the fields, with a sad and angry look on their faces.
There are more than a dozen core disciples of the Ling family's martial arts practice, and they all gritted their teeth and clenched their fists.
In addition, there are seven or eight people from the Chen family, fresh clothes and angry horses, with a sneering face and a very arrogant expression.
"Hey, where is the third uncle?"
Ling Xian raised his eyebrows, Ling Tianxiong, as the Great Elder of the Clan, had already rushed here first, how could there be no trace of him?
A hint of foreboding welled up in my mind.
"Patriarch. ”
"The patriarch has arrived. ”
"It's Brother Ling Xian. ”
......
The three of them were not hiding, and soon came into the sight of both sides.
The faces of the Ling family were happy, but the people of the Chen family were still extremely arrogant, and their faces were full of disdain:
"Patriarch, a second-layer waste in the body refining stage can actually become the head of a clan, it's really laughable. ”
"There is no tiger and monkey in the mountains to call the king, the Ling family is now similar to the clown who jumps the beam, or get out of Luoyun Mountain as soon as possible, we are ashamed to be together. ”
"But isn't it, just such a group of waste, also worthy of being called a family, I think they are a group of mountain and wild horses. ”
......
The people of the Chen clan were bitter and mean, and all kinds of words ridiculed, and each nostril was about to rise to the sky.
"Fourth grandfather, where is the third uncle?"
Ling Xian didn't get angry, he figured out the situation first and then made a decision, although the situation in front of him was extremely bad, he still had this bit of patience.
"Great Elder, Great Elder was plotted by them, was seriously injured, and fainted. ”
Before the fourth grandfather could answer, a sad and angry voice came into his ears, and Ling Xian turned his head and saw young faces blazing with anger.
"Big bull, you come on. ”
"Yes!"
A stout young man walked closer and gritted his teeth: "Patriarch, the people of the Chen family came here to herd horses and spoil our crops, the great elder came over and reasoned with them, but these people plotted to sneak attack and fainted......"
"Plotting?"
Ling Xian raised his head and looked at the guy in front of him, although these Chen clan people are not gentlemen, they are definitely not core masters, they are just some young martial arts disciples, their cultivation is just wandering between the first and second layers of the body refining period, although the Ling family has declined, the third uncle is now the number one master in the family, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the third layer, how can he beat them?
There are some doubts.
But after sorting out my memories a little, I was relieved again.
Now that the Ling family has long since declined, not only is there no way to compare martial arts with back then, but even the spirit is far inferior.
Back then, an ordinary son of the Ling family dared to call himself a brother and sister to the royal family, but now in the face of such a first- and third-rate small family as the Chen family, he is cowardly in every way.
In the face of provocation, he did not dare to fight back, and only thought about reasoning and preferring people to settle things.
But where is it so easy, this world is a land of respect for force, the more timid and afraid you are, the more others think you are weak and can be bullied.
Otherwise, the masters of the third level of the third uncle and the third level of the body refining period would not be lost in the hands of these kids.
What's even more tragic is that the third uncle was seriously injured, and these kids of the Ling family are still giving in.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the people of the Ling family have no backbone, young martial arts disciples like Ling Hu, Ling Feng, Da Niu and other young martial arts disciples, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they can't help but make a move.
But the fourth grandfather and other elders who were old and respectful tried their best to stop them.
For fear of conflict with the Chen family.
In the face of the weakness of the elders, Ling Feng, Ling Hu and the others were also helpless, they did not have a backbone, and the talkers were not here.
Until Ling Xian came.
However, the people of the Chen family are still arrogant, looking down on him, the young patriarch, with an arrogant appearance, I just ruined your crops and injured your great elder, so what?
