The old man knew that people from non-hermit families could not learn high-level martial arts, and he heard that the martial arts learned by Sunan were family traditions, which couldn't help but make him wonder. Because of the nine hidden families, Qi Chuyan, Han Zhao, Wei, Qin, Liu Li, there is no family surnamed Su at all.

"Xiao Su, are you sure that you practiced your internal strength from the martial arts that your grandfather taught you, rather than learning from others?" The old man has to confirm it again.

Although Sunan didn't know these things, he could also deduce from the old man's words that the people who could learn these martial arts were not ordinary people, so he was also curious about his family background. He had asked his grandfather many times before, but he couldn't get an answer at all.

"Yes, I just studied with my grandfather, and no one else taught me anymore."

"Alas!" The old man sighed, "Xiao Su, try not to show your internal strength in front of others in the future." ”

Hearing the old man say this, Sunan felt even more strange, why did he still hide his things? Are you afraid that others will know about this?

The old man also came from a young age, and of course he knows that young people have a rebellious mentality. If he doesn't explain the words to Sunan clearly, just let him not use internal force, maybe he will turn his head and show it everywhere.

Now the old man has regarded him as Chen Tong's boyfriend, and he has an agreement with Chen Tong not to interfere in her affairs in the past three years.

"Xiao Su, you have to remember that what I said below can only be heard in your ears, rotten into your stomach, and if it comes out of your mouth, it will bring disaster to you." The old man's expression became serious.

Sunan clicked, he was not a talkative person in the first place, there was no need, and he would never talk nonsense.

Seeing that Sunan agreed, the old man said to him: Xia Kingdom has a brilliant culture since ancient times, talented people have come out of the country, and people who practice ancient martial arts also abound. After the Aixin clan waved their troops into the customs, because it was ruled by a foreign race, they were worried that the foundation would be unstable, so they made every effort to suppress martial arts practitioners and burn martial arts classics, because chivalry was forbidden by martial arts. The king's heart is like iron, the official law is like a furnace, how can an ordinary body be worthy of the state machine. Insisting on doing one thing for hundreds of years with the strength of the whole country is enough to deal a fatal blow to the martial arts community.

In the end, only nine families managed to leave a trace of blood, barely inheriting their mastery. The other families were eradicated, and the vast martial arts books were also burned. What can be circulated in the outside world is only a superficial showcase.

Since then, these nine families have been in seclusion, and the true martial arts he has only passed on to their family disciples. After the continuous wars in modern times, there are countless hot-blooded disciples in the Nine Great Families who have sacrificed their lives for the country, making their families even weaker. Of course, they also made their family a supreme glory.

In modern times, it should have been a good time for them to flourish and develop, but just when there was a sign of this, they encountered a special period, which once again dealt them a heavy blow. It is only in the last twenty or thirty years that their vitality has begun to slowly recover, so they are very careful about the outside world, neither wanting to be hit hard, but also not wanting others to rise and affect their current position.

"What location?" Hearing this, Sunan asked strangely. Listening to what the old man said, these nine major families have had a series of encounters and have been recuperating in seclusion, what position will they have?

"Wen can be anbang, and Wu can set the country! How can a country be stable without good fighters? The old man shook his head lightly and said. Peace has been going on for too long, and young people nowadays no longer know the importance of force, thinking that as long as they have money, they can do it. But I don't know that when a fat sheep meets a hungry wolf, it must be a fat sheep that will be eaten.

"However, modern warfare is already a war of science and technology, weapons have been modernized, and if a soldier is only physically strong, there is nothing to be afraid of." Sunan came out of the army, and of course knew the important surname of having sophisticated weapons.

"That's a good thing, but in ancient battles, it was often after the two armies met, they lined up to fight, and the generals went out to duel." The old man explained again.

"Modern warfare has long since moved away from this way of confrontation." Sunan defended.

"Hehe, there are some things you don't know, and if you don't understand the inside story, you won't understand the meaning of this." The old man obviously did not want to continue to talk about this topic in depth.

"Xiao Su, you remember, the current high-level martial arts have been monopolized by the nine major families, in addition to these nine major families, and then they find that there are also high-level martial artists, either join their family, or ......" The last words, the old man did not understand.

"You shouldn't be a member of the Nine Great Families, how can you have internal strength?" Listening to what the old man said so much, Sunan knew that the nine major families were tightly defended, so how could they let martial arts flow out at will, unless there was a possibility.

Sure enough, the old man nodded, "I am an outer disciple of the Zhao family, so I was taught martial arts, but the kind of martial arts I have learned can only be cultivated to this extent, and my skills cannot be improved." ”

The Zhao family? Sunan remembered that the old man wrote in the study just now was to give it to a person named Weishan, and Chen Tong also mentioned that the person's surname was Zhao. At that time, Sunan only thought it was a coincidence, so he didn't care, but now when he heard the old man talk about the nine families, he suddenly remembered a person.

"Could it be that the painting you wrote just now is for General Zhao?" Sunan asked in surprise.

Zhao Weishan, the former vice chairman and chairman of the Military and Political Affairs Commissions, and the members and members of the Political and Governance Bureau of the last two terms, is the real country, leader, and leader. I didn't expect the old man to know him, and he could call him a brother. If it was really him, Sunan now had a new understanding of the power of the Nine Great Families.

At the beginning, I knew that they were a hidden family, but Sunan didn't care about it, and it was already hidden, would it still affect me? But I forgot that "the great hidden in the court"!

"Yes, it's him." The old man nodded slowly.

Seeing Sunan's solemn face, the old man enlightened him again, "Xiao Su, don't worry too much." There are now two opinions within the Nine Great Families, one is to advocate keeping the truth, and naturally no one is allowed to affect their status; The other is to advocate openness, to open up the treasured martial arts of the nine great families to the world, so as to strengthen our entire Xia clan. With these two points of view, even if they know about you, they will not take extreme actions. ”

Sunan nodded, his mind still digesting the amazing news for a while. After all, the impact of this matter is too serious, and the people of the Nine Great Families are likely to control the state apparatus, and if they really want to deal with him, he has nowhere to hide.

followed the old man out of the study, until lunch, Sunan never came up with the best solution.

Because he still remembered to go to Xizi Tongue, Sunan didn't want Chen Tong and Ning Yu to follow him. Besides, the Chen family still wants to refuse to marry the vice governor's family, if Sunan is present, it is not appropriate at all, it is obviously a slap in the face. So Sunan persuaded Chen Tong and Ning Yu to listen to the old lady's words and stay at home, while he said goodbye and left.

When I came to the shore of West Lake, it was dusk. Rent a boat, park it on the shore and wait for use, Sunan bought a roast chicken, a pound of beef jerky, and then carried a bottle of wine to Xizhao Mountain. The best time to pick a tongue is in the middle of the night. If there is a full moon photo, in the center of the lake, within a radius of ten square meters, there are hundreds of silver flashes, this kind of Xizi tongue is the best. It just so happens that today is the full moon, and since southern Jiangsu wants to pick it, of course it will pick the best one.

Xizhao Mountain is not high, the original Leifeng Pagoda is built here, it is one of the ten views of West Lake, but unfortunately Leifeng Pagoda has fallen. Sunan came up at this time, and could no longer admire the scenery of the sunset of the thunder peak. In folklore, the bottom of the Leifeng Pagoda suppressed the White Lady. Sunan stood at the ruins of Leifeng Pagoda, but remembered her well.

What about the different paths of the lady, only love their own love, only live their own words, but they are still not tolerated, and in the end they only end up being suppressed. Sunan remembered his own scene, would he be the White Lady, and would the Nine Great Families be Fahai? He lives his own life and doesn't provoke others, does he end up like the White Lady?

It is impossible to say that the words that the old man said to him at noon did not touch him. After all, only one Zhao Weishan has already let Sunan know how strong the power of these nine families is.

Conservative faction, open faction. Who is the conservative and who is the open?

From the old man's introduction, Sunan knew that only when the open faction was dominant among the nine major families, he would no longer be in trouble. But is this possible? Sunan didn't know anything about the affairs of the Nine Great Families, and it was this term that he only heard from Old Man Chen today.

There will be no accidents for the time being, because he clearly knows that Sunan has internal strength, that is, Old Man Chen. From his words, Sunan knew that he was still defending himself. Maybe Mr. Chen belongs to the open faction.

After thinking for a while, Sunan opened his heart. The sky can't fall yet, even if it falls, it's a big deal to cover the body as a quilt, is it possible that it can't be over?

He found a clean stone, sat down on it, took out the wine and food he brought, and Sunan ate and drank.

I had just eaten a few bites when I saw someone walking slowly up the hill from the foot of the mountain. Sunan didn't care, the city is very prosperous now, and there are still countless people playing in West Lake at this time, and some people come to climb the sunset mountain, which is a normal thing.

The man was in his fifties, full of energy, with a light gait, and wore a crescent-white tracksuit. After coming to the mountain, he turned his head around and looked around, and walked straight to the opposite side of Sunan and sat down.

He even brought wine and food, a bottle of Moutai, a bag of peanuts, and a braised pig ear. "Cheers!" The man raised his bottle and gestured to Sunan.

Seeing the man sit down, Sunan certainly paid more attention to him. After reading it, Sunan's heart sank, "What a deep skill!" "This person turned out to be the most powerful person Sunan has met so far, and his skills are the same as Sunan, and he is also at the peak of the seventh layer.

Now Sunan has suspected the other party's purpose of finding him, but if the other party doesn't say it, Sunan won't ask.

"Cheers!" Sunan raised the wine bottle in his hand.
