Xiao Tao's voice was like thunder, rolling out, but the strange thing was that ordinary tourists on the other side of the dense forest could not hear it at all, and many people heard this sound in a huge manor on the other side of the dense forest.

In the courtyard of the manor, an old man in his eighties was sitting on a rocking chair in the courtyard, shaking and humming Peking Opera while watching three or four seven or eight-year-old children practicing boxing in the distance.

Hearing this voice, the old man's rocking chair suddenly stopped, the old man's eyes opened, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, his body had left the rocking chair and stood on the edge of the rocking chair.

There were also a few people walking out of the room of the house at this time, the older one was already in his sixties, and the younger one was in his fifties, and several people came to the old man's side, all looking in the direction of the dense forest at the same time.

"Father, is this a fellow visitor?"

"Who is Shang Yuan Zhenren, why haven't you heard of it, is there such a person in Hongmen?"

"It may be a little-known person, listening to this voice, the other party is only in his twenties, what kind of master can his master be?"

Several people talked softly, but the old man who stood up from the rocking chair snorted coldly at this time: "Shut up for me, order me to go down, receive VIPs with the highest etiquette, open the main door, sprinkle water and clean the way, boss, you go to the dense forest to greet you in person, and your attitude must be respectful." ”

"Father?" several people looked at the old man in surprise, a little incredulous. Their Qu family is one of the best big families in the entire Fengzhou Province, and they are even more famous in the rivers and lakes, with the status of the old man Qu in the rivers and lakes, even if the head of the Wudang faction or the abbot of Shaolin comes, there is no need for such a big battle, right?

"Didn't you hear what I said?" exclaimed, the old man as he looked at his sons.

These people are Qu Yuetian's sons, his eldest son is sixty-five years old this year, and the youngest son is only fifty years old this year, Qu Qingying is also the only daughter of Qu Yuetian's youngest son.

Qu Yuetian is ninety years old this year, and his life is also a legend, originally there were four Qu brothers, three of whom died in the war of that year, Qu Yuetian married three wives in his life, and the first two also died in the war.

Qu Yuetian's first wife gave birth to a son to Qu Yuetian, it was the eldest son Qu Wenxiang, the second wife gave birth to two sons to him, the second son Qu Wendong and the third son Qu Wenxue, and the last wife also gave birth to two sons to Qu Yuetian, the fourth son Qu Wenhai and the youngest son Qu Wencheng.

Now the second generation of the Qu family can be said to be all men, and the third generation is only Qu Qingying.

"Yes, father. Qu Wenxiang responded, his body flashed, and he rushed towards the direction of the dense forest.

In the dense forest, Qu Qingying also heard Xiao Tao's voice.

"Shang Yuan Zhenren?" Qu Qingying frowned, she had never heard of the name of this Shang Yuan Zhenren.

Qu Qingying, as the pearl of the Qu family, although she is well cared for, but after entering the realm of condensation, she often walks in the rivers and lakes to hone herself, and she knows a lot about some celebrities and masters on the rivers and lakes, but she has no impression of Shang Yuanzhen's name at all.

Seeing that Xiao Tao is only twenty years old, to be able to cultivate such a young master of contemplation, Xiao Tao's master should not be unknown.

Qu Qingying was still thinking about who Shang Yuan Zhenren was, and suddenly a figure in the dense forest came quickly, and soon arrived in front of Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao held the greeting post in both hands and handed it to the visitor very politely: "In Xia Xiao Tao, I specially came to visit Mr. Qu, and I hope to pass it on my behalf." ”

Qu Wenxiang looked at Xiao Tao in front of him, and while taking the post, he looked at Xiao Tao, looking at Xiao Tao's appearance, he was even younger than the voice he heard just now.

Such a young boy actually asked the old man to order to open the middle door, sprinkle water and clean the road, and greet him with the highest specifications, which is really incomprehensible.

Although he was puzzled, Qu Wenxiang didn't dare to disobey Qu Yuetian's intentions, and said very politely: "Mr. Xiao, please." ”

Xiao Tao followed Qu Wenxiang and soon walked to the end of the dense forest, through the dense forest, his eyes suddenly opened up, and what caught his eye was a large-scale ancient manor, the style was the style of the Qing Dynasty.

The manor was built in the middle of the valley, and there was a bluestone paved road in the dense forest, leading to the Ming Hall of the house. The bright hall is large, and both sides are planted with exotic flowers and plants.

Xiao Tao followed Qu Wenxiang across the bluestone road and came to the wide door in front of the manor, and he could already clearly see the plaque on the manor.

The plaque made of fine yellow rosewood has two gilded characters written on it - Qufu.

When Xiao Tao and Qu Wenxiang came to the door, the door had slowly opened, the two wide doors were completely open, two rows of servants were standing neatly on both sides, and an old man who looked to be over eighty years old with four people was standing at the door to greet them.

Qu Wenxiang hurriedly stepped forward and handed the greeting post in his hand to the old man, the old man took the greeting post and looked at it carefully, a smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly crossed the threshold and greeted him: "Senior Brother Xiao come, let my Qufu be full of brilliance, please come in quickly." ”

As soon as Qu Yuetian spoke, everyone in the entire Qu Mansion was dumbfounded, and Qu Yuetian's five sons all seemed to be stunned in an instant, just standing in place in a daze, their eyes completely fixed on Xiao Tao.

"Senior Brother Xiao?"

The old man actually called this outrageous young man Senior Brother Xiao?

This simply made everyone in the composer think that they had heard it wrong. Old man Qu is ninety years old this year, that is a legendary figure who came from the last years of the Qing Dynasty, looking at the entire rivers and lakes, it is not impossible to have friends with Old Man Qu's peers, but which one is not an old man with a white beard?

Listening to Qu Yuetian's title, Xiao Tao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Qu Yuetian didn't know the name of his master, if he didn't know, it would be a little reckless for him to come to the door this time, after all, he came to ask for something.

"Senior Brother Qu is polite. Xiao Tao hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "The old man has talked to me about Senior Brother Qu many times, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to visit. ”

"I didn't expect Shang Yuan's seniors to remember me. Qu Yuetian invited Xiao Tao up the steps, and said: "Counting it, Shang Yuan's predecessors have been very kind to me, if Shang Yuan's predecessors hadn't rescued me back then, maybe our Qu family would have broken off the inheritance." ”

Qu Yuetian's sons heard Qu Yuetian say this, and then they understood why Qu Yuetian was so cautious before, it turned out that Shang Yuan Zhenren, who had never heard of it, still had a life-saving grace for their father.

It's just that their father is over 90 years old, according to this calculation, how old is that Shang Yuan's senior? At least he is over 100 years old, right?

Qu Yuetian invited Xiao Tao up the steps, came to the threshold of the gate, and saw that several sons were still standing at the door, and couldn't help but scold: "Don't salute Uncle Xiao yet, your Uncle Xiao's master Shang Yuan Zhenren had a life-saving grace for me back then, if it weren't for Shang Yuan's predecessors, it would be impossible to have our current Qu family." ”

Qu Yuetian's sons looked at each other, and they all saluted Xiao Tao reluctantly: "I've seen Uncle Xiao." ”

"Little junior brother, these are my unsuccessful sons. Qu Yuetian introduced with a smile: "This is the boss, Qu Wenxiang, this is the second ......"

"Senior Brother Qu, you and the master do not have the status of master and apprentice, I call you Senior Brother is actually a big one, I think I and these people ...... The eldest brother will talk about the same generation. ”

The seniority on the rivers and lakes is sometimes very strict, but sometimes it is very confusing, and there is no strict statement.

After all, many generations are actually based on the friendship between masters. It's like between neighbors, even if there is no blood relationship, two neighbors, of the same age, can call each other eldest brother, brother, to the son's generation, that is, uncle and uncle, especially in the countryside, several generations basically will not move, several generations down, some give birth to sons early, some give birth to sons late, at this time there is a difference in generation, but counting, whether this generation is accurate or not, no one can tell.

Xiao Tao's master Shang Yuan Zhenren did not accept Qu Yuetian as an apprentice, Qu Yuetian was not as old as Shang Yuan Zhenren, and the other was favored, so he recognized himself as a junior.

But when it comes to Xiao Tao, Qu Yuetian's sons are all many years older than Xiao Tao, just like Lin Yunqing, a person who is forty or fifty years old, and he must be called Uncle Xiao Tao.

"That's not going to work. Qu Yuetian said undoubtedly: "Shang Yuan's predecessor has a life-saving grace for our Qu family, his old man is my elder, Senior Brother Xiao, you are the closed disciple of Shang Yuan's predecessor, then you are the elder, besides, from the Hongmen, you are also my junior brother." ”

Qu Yuetian was undoubted, Xiao Tao couldn't say anything, accompanied by Qu Yuetian, they entered the Qu family's house together, walked through the front yard, and arrived at the main hall in the backyard.

In the main hall, Qu Yuetian asked with concern while ordering people to serve tea: "Senior Brother Xiao, don't you know that Shang Yuan's predecessors are now?"

"The old man is still alive, and I saw him two months ago. Xiao Tao said, Xiao Tao was also worried when he spoke, although he did see Lao Dao two months ago, but according to Lao Dao's explanation, he obviously has something very important to do, and it may be life-threatening, and I don't know what is going on now?

"Shang Yuan's predecessors are pedantic, I think they should also be physically tough, my old bones can live to ninety, how can his old man live to two ninety. Qu Yuetian said with a smile.

Just when Qu Yuetian and Xiao Tao were chatting in the main hall, Qu Qingying quietly returned to the house, and when she entered the door, she grabbed a young man in his early twenties and asked, "Xiaoba, what was the origin of that young man just now, and why did grandpa greet him personally?"

When Qu Wenxiang appeared before, Qu Qingying didn't show up, she had been watching from a distance, so she didn't know what Qu Yuetian said, and she didn't dare to use secret methods to eavesdrop on Qu Yuetian and Xiao Tao.

"Sister Qingying, that young man is scary, grandpa actually called him junior brother, and asked the eldest uncle and second uncle to call each other uncle, I really don't know what's going on. The young man said depressedly.
