Chapter 23: The Five Great Families
Ni Mengyao, who was in Jiangcheng, was still immersed in the significant improvement brought by cultivation, thinking that with such a cultivation speed, it would not take long for him to become strong and become a strong person, and there would be nothing to hinder his family from reuniting, thinking like this, Ni Mengyao was extremely excited and happy.
After finishing her cultivation, Ni Mengyao happily went to breakfast.
However, if Ni Mengyao knew about the changes in the world caused by her cultivation, Ni Mengyao might not be in the mood to eat breakfast anymore, but hurriedly packed up her things, found a deep mountain and old forest, hid in it, and cultivated silently, not strong for a day, and not coming out for a day.
What Ni Mengyao didn't know was that it was precisely because this cultivation was too perfect that it caused too much movement, which caused too much change in the heaven and earth of the entire earth, and also attracted the attention and vigilance of many people with extraordinary abilities, although these people with extraordinary abilities did not know who and what caused the abnormal changes in the world and the earth, but when they thought of a certain rumor, they began to be afraid, but in the end, they all became hideous, and vowed to prevent the abnormal changes in heaven and earth from continuing.
However, those real big people are relatively calm, because these people more or less know some truths, and they all have some guesses, watching the changes in the world and feeling it carefully, and finally they all looked in the direction of Jiangcheng, thoughtfully, and then had an arrangement.
This is destined to have many legendary characters and many magical events in front of or around Ni Mengyao, these people and things are either friendly or hostile, etc., which makes Ni Mengyao's life full of legend and no longer peaceful.
Maybe just like 'I want you to laugh at the system' said, Ni Mengyao's life trajectory has changed, no longer quiet and ordinary before, Ni Mengyao's future is full of passion and excitement, but it is also very dangerous, even if Ni Mengyao does not cause trouble, but some things will revolve around Ni Mengyao in the future, which is inseparable, this is cause and effect and reincarnation.
······
In the imperial capital, and even around the world, there has always been a legend, "When the heavens and the earth change, the earth is about to return to the right track." ”
Different people have different opinions on this sentence. But those who have the opportunity to know this sentence are all supernatural beings, or high-ranking people of the state.
For all the supernatural beings, almost they don't want to see the world change, because in the eyes of these supernatural people, this sentence means that when the heaven and the earth change, it is when the ability disappears, because the ability is the existence that makes the earth out of its original orbit, and if you want to return the earth to the right track, you must make the ability disappear from the world, so that people can return to the ordinary and no longer have supernatural powers.
But how can a person with a supernatural ability be willing to lose his supernatural ability?
In the eyes of these supernatural beings, supernatural abilities may be more important than life, as the saying goes, life can be lost, and anomalies can be without.
Therefore, these people have to desperately find the source of the anomaly, and then erase it, prevent the follow-up story of the changes in the heavens and the earth, and prevent the earth from returning to the right track.
Everyone knows that the representative of this kind of person is the five families of the imperial capital, so everyone is waiting for the attitude of the five major families, the five major families of the imperial capital: the Zhang family, the Zhuge family, the Qin family, the Duanmu family, and the Tang family.
······
In the center of the imperial capital, there is a large courtyard, and there is a tall rockery at the door of the large courtyard, and two dragons flying and phoenixes are carved on the rockery: 'Zhangfu'.
'Zhangfu' covers an area of several thousand square meters, or even tens of thousands of square meters.
At a glance, pavilions, rockeries, ****, pine and cypress trees, the most conspicuous thing is that there is a small artificial mountain in the middle, although it is not coordinated, but the whole is together, that is, coordination.
But what kind of story is behind the beauty, that is not known to outsiders.
···
The main house is the front porch and the back building, and there is a covered room at the back. There is a hanging flower door in the middle of the flower wall in the south of the east and west wings, there are four wooden screens in the door, and the east and west wings have a hand-copying verandah, which communicates with the hanging flower door. Some flower walls are on both sides of the hanging flower door, with two or three leaky windows.
Between the main room and the side room, there is a full moon door, which can go from the aisle to the backyard, and some have a hall, which can be walked through.
In the outer courtyard, there is a flower wall in the east and west, the moon gate in the middle, four wooden screens with green paint, red bucket square characters, the east side is "moving wall book", and the west side is "West Garden Hanmo". You can go through this door to the cross-courtyard.
The south room has a verandah through the mountain, which is a corridor that is opened with a gable wall and connected. In this way, several courtyards are formed that are connected to each other in the east, west, north and south. The most typical large courtyard houses in Beijing are the Qing Dynasty's Nawangfu (in Goldfish Hutong) and Gongwangfu (Shichahai West Street), which are spectacular and magnificent, with gardens.
The middle courtyard house, the middle courtyard is generally five or seven main rooms, there are wooden partitions or floor covers in the house, and some main houses and wing rooms have porches.
The five rooms are three main rooms and two ear rooms, and the ear rooms are single-door, the so-called "three positive and two ears".
Seven rooms, between the main room and the transept, have two suites that are connected to the main house (open on the gable). There are three rooms in the east and west wings, and there is a passage between the wings and the ear rooms, which can lead to the backyard.
On the south side of the east and west wings, there is a courtyard wall, which separates the courtyard into an inner and outer courtyard, which is all brick floors, and the courtyard is sunny after the rain, and there is no water. There is a moon gate in the middle of the courtyard wall, so that people in the outer courtyard can not see the inner courtyard at a glance, just behind the moon gate, a brick or wooden shadow wall is erected. Some put a few pots of flowers in the courtyard, set up a large fish tank, and set up a ceiling in summer to enjoy the shade in the courtyard.
The old imperial people said: ceilings, fish tanks, pomegranate trees. This is the scene of summer in the courtyard.
In the outer courtyard, there are one or two deer tops in the east and west. The deer-roofed house was slightly smaller than the side house and was used as a kitchen or for servants to live in.
The layout of the seven rooms in the south room, the one at the east end is the gate hole, and the one at the west side of the gate is the gate room, and the door is open on the west gable of the gate hole.
One at the west end is used as a garage or as a side door. (To quote the introduction of the large courtyard in the encyclopedia, I think it can be used here.) You can also call me lazy. )
······
The central rockery is built by the Zhang family, and it is also one of the Zhang's painstaking efforts and one of the last hole cards.
There are a lot of secret rooms in this central rockery, and the concentration of foreign gas in each secret room is very high, and the cultivation in the secret room can get twice the result with half the effort, and the security of the secret room is very high, even ordinary guns can't penetrate this secret room, and even can't leave traces on it, even if it's a human-level weapon, it can't penetrate the secret room, only the ground-level weapon can destroy these secret rooms under a long-term attack, but the ground-level weapon is not something that anyone can have, which can show how high the security of this secret room is.
But the most important thing about this central rockery is not that it is cheap in cultivation, but more importantly, this central rockery can also be used as a weapon, the power is very huge, with the ultimate heritage of the Zhang family, it can be comparable to a heaven-level weapon, and a heaven-level weapon is enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, which makes the Zhang family the head of the five major families in the imperial capital, and has a high prestige in the imperial capital.
This also makes the Zhang family very arrogant, very face-saving, and looks down on ordinary people, and gradually the concept of the family is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
···
Among these chambers is a completely enclosed chamber, which is different from the others. Once this secret room is closed, no matter what method is used in the outside world, the existence of this secret room will not be detected, and it is even more impossible to know that there is a meeting of the elders of the five major families inside.
In the secret room, a large table, five chairs, and five energetic old men were sitting together, talking something.
Directly above is a middle-standing old man, with an expressionless face, without a trace of wrinkles on his face, radiant, if it weren't for the gray hair, it would not be obvious that he was an old man at all. Especially those eyes, they are very attentive, and they can't see the characteristics of old age, this is the real old man of the Zhang family, the first generation of ability, Zhang Guoqi, is currently seventy-six years old, constant, ability eighty-three level, the only one of the five major families.
The first one on the left hand side is a gray-haired person with a peaceful complexion, like a grandfather next door, but the people here will not underestimate him, he is the old man of the Zhuge clan, the first generation of the Zhuge clan, Zhuge Renhui, currently seventy-nine years old, the peak of the lineage, and the eighty-first level of ability.
The second on the left hand side is an old man with a bald head and a wrinkled face, when he looked at Zhang Guoqi who was in the first seat, his eyes flashed with war intent from time to time, but he didn't know what he thought of, and pressed down the battle intent, for these, Zhang Guoqi didn't see it, this is the first generation of the Qin family, Qin Jiabao, currently sixty-nine years old, a department, and an ability of eighty levels.
The first one on the right hand is an old woman with gray hair, white hair up to her waist, but a good complexion, if you don't look at her hair, you will think that this old woman is a young woman, this is the first generation of the Tang family, Tang Beauty, of course, is still a beauty, this beauty is now seventy-one years old, the peak of the department, and the ability is eighty-one.
The second person on the right hand side is a ruddy-faced, meticulous old man, his hair is not black, but it is not gray, and he is full of energy, this is the first generation of Duanmu Clan's ability, Duanmu Yi, a generation of medical saints, is currently seventy-seven years old, but he is still mentally masterful, and he is a person with eighty-one abilities.
These five are all the top powerhouses on the earth at present, and they appeared here, not for anything else, but for the changes in heaven and earth caused by Ni Mengyao's cultivation, if Ni Mengyao knew, I don't know if I should feel lucky or unlucky?
I don't know how long it has been, and finally, the first Zhang Guoqi spoke: "Okay, although it is rumored that when the world changes, the earth is about to return to the right track, and many people are waiting for our attitude, they regard us as the leaders who oppose the mutation and continue to lead." ”
The old man said this, smiled contemptuously, and said, "But who knows what the heaven and earth anomaly are?"
Zhang Guoqi spoke very slowly, but his voice was very powerful, not like an old man talking, but more like a middle-aged man explaining things.
Zhang Guoqi paused, and then said: "For our level, the understanding will not be the same as those children, so I think we should maintain a wait-and-see attitude, don't forget, there is still that existence in the south, he is the strongest man, he knows the most." ”
When the others heard this, they were silent.
