"Stop! Idlers, please do not approach! ”

"I'm here to find Mr. Ling Shaofeng."

"Head of the house? Who are you! What are you looking for the head of the house? ”

"Oh, yes, and this!" The visitor took out a token from his bosom and gave it to the gatekeeper. He was Han Mo who came to this place according to Ling Chi's instructions.

"It's the token of the second young master! You go and report to the master of the house. One of the gatekeepers said.

"You wait." Another gatekeeper said to Han Mo.

"Okay." Han Mo answered, and waited in place. After a while, the gatekeeper who had gone to report returned, accompanied by an elderly man in his fifties.

"Butler Wu, he is the one who took the token of the second young master to find the head of the family."

"Young Master Han, right?" The person known as the Martial Steward came to Han Mo and said.

"Don't dare to be, I'm Han Mo, Butler Wu." Han Mo said, he didn't know what to call him, so he called the old man a martial steward like a gatekeeper.

"Just call me Uncle Wu." Uncle Wu said, "Come with me." ”

"Okay, Uncle Wu." Han Mo followed Uncle Wu into this paradise far away from the capital, and didn't notice the surprised expressions of the two gatekeepers, you know, they all call Uncle Wu the butler of the martial arts, and they are very respectful, the only people who can call Uncle Wu are the eldest young master, the second young master and the eldest lady, this is also specially ordered by the head of the family, Uncle Wu asked Han Mo to call him Uncle Wu, doesn't this show that his identity is at the same level as the young masters and young misses? The two gatekeepers don't know why, but what they know is that Han Mo's identity is definitely not simple, and the original coldness has also changed to respect, of course, these Han Mo don't know, and they think that this is the Ling family's hospitality.

Uncle Wu took Han Mo to a quadrangle, walked into the quadrangle, and came to the hall in front of him, where a middle-aged man who seemed to be about forty years old was sitting on the upper seat of the hall, he was the person Ling Chi wanted Han Mo to find, Ling Shaofeng, the head of the Ling family.

"Master, Han Mo has arrived." Uncle Wu said.

"Well, you go down first."

"Yes."

"Thank you, Uncle Wu." Han Mo said to Uncle Wu.

"This is what the head of the family ordered, Young Master Han doesn't need to thank you." After Uncle Wu finished speaking, he retreated first, leaving only Han Mo and Ling Shaofeng in the hall.

"Sit." Ling Shaofeng pointed to the chair on the left and said.

"Yes." Han Mo sat down as Ling Shaofeng had ordered.

"Chi'er called you."

"Yes." Han Mo nodded, "I'm ...... at the airport" Han Mo said what happened at the airport.

"Oh? Men in Black? Ling Shaofeng thought about it and saw if he could find some clues from Han Mo's words, but the man in black came and went without a trace, and he didn't have a clue.

"The head of the Ling family ......"

"I'm older than your father, just call me Uncle Shaofeng."

"Well, Uncle Shaofeng."

"Chi'er told me, I've been waiting for you to come." Ling Shaofeng said, "Everyone said that Han Fei had a genius son named Han Mo, but now it looks like this is really the case!" ”

"It's just a rumor, I'm not a genius, I'm just a little smart." Han Mo said modestly.

"Haha!" Ling Shaofeng laughed and said, "I guess you also know why Chi'er called you over." ”

"I don't know." Han Mo shook his head and said, "I still hope that Uncle Shaofeng will tell me about it." ”

"Presumably you also know that the current general division of forces is the three major sects of the Seven Great Families."

"Well, the Seven Great Families refer to the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, Qi, Chuyan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin."

"That's right. But do you know the three major sects? ”

"I don't know." Han Mo shook his head, Ouyang Xiu didn't leave any information about this, Han Mo also learned about it from others.

"The three major sects are known as the three families that are above the seven great families, namely the Zuo family, the Ouyang family, and the Ling family." Ling Shaofeng explained.

"The Ling family? ...... put it this way."

"That's right, you are now in the Ling family, one of the three major sects, and I am Ling Shaofeng, the head of the Ling family, and Ling Chi is my second son."

"Ahh Even though he had already guessed a little, Ling Shaofeng personally admitted that Han Mo was still startled, he hadn't even figured out the seven great families, and suddenly he came into contact with the three major sects, and he "hooked up" inadvertently, just like opening a plug-in and upgrading a few levels.

"Don't be surprised, your family, the Han family, is not weaker than the Ling family."

"Ahh Han Mo had just come back to his senses and was taken aback by Ling Shaofeng, before Li Fatzi clearly said that the Han family had declined, and even the Zeng family had come to bully the Han family, how could this be similar to the Ling family!

"It seems that your father didn't tell you anything."

"Yes." Han Mo nodded, "They are all hidden, I don't know anything." ”

"Actually, this can be considered a plan of your father." Ling Shaofeng took a sip of tea and said slowly, "A thousand years ago, your Han family gave birth to a demon, and when she was twenty years old, she had broken through the earth level and reached the heavenly level, this terrifying strength set off a wave in the martial arts, presumably you also know that if she was promoted to the earth level before the age of twenty, she was already considered a genius, but she was already a heaven level master when she was twenty years old, which can no longer be described as a genius, she can only be called a demon." At that time, many small families took refuge in the Han family, and the Han family slowly began to rise at this time, approaching the Qi family, the largest family at that time. ”

"However, the good times didn't last long, a thousand years ago there was an earth-shattering war, they called it the War of the Gods, in that war the Han family suffered the greatest loss, the head of the Han family at that time, that is, the person known as the demon fell in this war, and some small families also abandoned the Han family, and the Han family gradually declined, until now it is on the verge of extinction."

"In that case, then why did Uncle Shaofeng say that the strength of the Han family was about the same as that of the Ling family?"

"Of course, I'm just talking about the Han family in the eyes of the world, and the real Han family is not like this, after the battle back then, the Han family got two major helps, the Ling family and the Ouyang family. Our Ling family has always been good friends with the Han family, when the Ling family rebelled, it was she who led people to quell the rebellion, supported the head of the Ling family at that time, and then there was a marriage, which tied the two families tightly together, and the Ouyang family was because of Ouyang Xiu's relationship. ”

"Ouyang Xiu!" Han Mo finally heard the information about Ouyang Xiu, "What's next?" Han Mo couldn't wait to ask, eager to uncover the truth of that chance encounter.

"At that time, the head of the Ouyang family was Ouyang Xiu, and his lover was the demon of your Han family, Han Xue, the head of the Han family. In that battle, Han Xue fell to save Ouyang Xiu, so Ouyang Xiu decided to help the Han family. With the help of the two major sects, it was easy for Han Mo to rise, but the Han family chose another direction and tightened their strength. In the eyes of outsiders, the Han family is in decline, but in fact, the Han family is constantly tightening its strength and constantly approaching the three major sects, so that it has been passed down from generation to generation, and its strength is naturally not weaker than that of the Ling family, especially in your father's generation, the strength is even stronger. ”

"Han Xue......" Han Mo remembered the jade pendant, there was a snow character on the front of the jade pendant, at that time Ouyang Xiu said that it was given to him by his wife, presumably that the snow character was the snow in Han Xue's name. In this way, Han Mo had to believe that Ouyang Xiu had indeed survived for more than a thousand years, because all of this pointed out that the Ouyang Xiu that Han Mo met was not just a duplicate name, but the real Ouyang Xiu who was known as the sixty-one layman a thousand years ago.

"Uncle Shaofeng, I have a question."

"Yes, let's talk about it."

"Can people really live for a thousand years?"

"A thousand years?" Ling Shaofeng paused for a moment and said slowly, "Actually, the legend is indeed possible, if you reach that realm." ”

"That realm? Above the Heavens? ”

"That's right. There are a total of four levels of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, so the strength of the peak is the peak of the Heavenly Rank after the fifth level of the Heavenly Order, but the peak of the Heavenly Rank is not the end, there is another realm after the peak of the Heavenly Order, which we call the Venerable Rank. ”

"Honorable?"

"Legend has it that the rank is actually a process of washing the marrow and cutting the bones, and it is also the process of the transformation of the martial artist, once you reach the dignity level, it is the respect of all things, it is said that the martial arts practitioner of this realm has unrivaled strength, so it is called the honor rank. The last legend of the rank was a thousand years ago. ”

"The Great War a thousand years ago?"

"That's right. According to historical records, the great battle was caused by one person back then, and his strength was extremely terrifying, much more terrifying than the peak powerhouse at that time, and the strength that could make them tremble was only that realm, that is, the honorable rank. At that time, that person slaughtered the Qi family, and slaughtered many families, so the seven great families and the three major sects joined forces to deal with him, after a whole day of fighting, the seven great families and the three major sects won a miserable victory, the head of the Han family, Han Xue, fell, the head of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Xiu, was seriously injured and was in danger, and the heads of other families were also seriously injured to various degrees. ”

"Such a terrifying ......" Han Mo suddenly remembered the scene he had seen last time in that strange space, which seemed to have an extremely similar scene.

"Is there a more terrifying realm above the Venerable Rank?"

"I don't know." Ling Shaofeng shook his head and said, "Historical records only mention the honorable rank, and some wild histories also mention that there are claims above the honorable rank, but many statements are different and cannot be verified. However, everyone believes that there is a realm above the Divine Rank, which is called the God Level, that is, the immortals mentioned in mythological stories, and it is also said that after reaching the Divine Rank, you can become a god and immortal, and you can also cross time and space to another space called the God Realm. Perhaps, these claims are all constructed, perhaps, these claims are true. All in all, there are no high-ranking martial artists in the world now. ”
