Chapter Forty-Eight: The Three Great Families

Fang Zongshan didn't stay in the Fang family for long, according to him, he had to go to other places to inform the family about martial arts, and he didn't dare to stay.

In this way, Fang Zhong and Fang Zongqing politely sent it to the door, until the carriage gradually moved away and disappeared from sight, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the courtyard.

"Dad, what is this family martial arts?" Fang Zhong asked curiously, the family martial arts, as the name suggests, is a martial arts competition within the Fang family, but it is definitely not so simple, a huge family, holding this kind of martial arts will not be without purpose.

Fang Zongqing's eyes flashed with a divine light, as if he was reminiscing about the past, and said after a long time: "How many years has it been since the family martial arts, I remember that the last time our family participated in the family martial arts was hundreds of years ago." ”

A few hundred years ago, the Fang family was prosperous and brilliant, so it was naturally qualified to participate in the family martial arts.

But later, the Fang family declined, it can be said that the disciples withered, and there were not many talented people, so this family naturally couldn't take their turn to talk about martial arts.

"Hundreds of years have passed, and now we are finally qualified to participate in the family martial arts competition. Fang Zongqing sighed in his heart, his expression was indescribably excited, "Ancestor of our family, have you seen it, the Fang family has not been cut off in my hands, but has obtained the qualification of the family martial arts, and you can rest in peace in the spirit of the sky......

Seeing his father like this, Fang Chong was extremely surprised in his heart, and quietly understood that this family's martial arts was definitely extraordinary, and I was afraid that it was of great significance.

"Chong'er. After a long time, Fang Zongqing calmed down, solemnly put away the golden letterhead, and said: "I believe you have also guessed that the family martial arts is not as simple as a simple martial arts competition, which involves many things, which can be described as huge and very important. ”

In the end, under Fang Zongqing's explanation, Fang Chong understood that the so-called family martial arts was actually a way of secret fighting among the family.

If there is no fierce competition, it is easy for a big family to decline.

Therefore, the ancestors of the Fang family set the rule that a family discussion would be held every three years, and all the descendants of the Fang family had the right to participate, while the side lines and branches could not all participate due to the large number of people, and it was necessary for the descendants to select some of them with potential to participate.

The so-called family martial arts is actually subject to certain restrictions, and no one under the age of 18 is allowed to participate, even if it is a descendant.

Anyone over the age of eighteen, regardless of whether or not they have participated in the family martial arts before, is not allowed to participate, and there are certain restrictions among the family members under the age of eighteen, and those who have not reached the realm of third-rate martial artists cannot participate, because it has no meaning.

There are definitely many young masters in a huge family, and there are many people with superior talents.

And those under the age of eighteen who have not yet reached the realm of third-rate martial artists, even if they participate in the family martial arts, it is impossible to win in the end, it is a waste of time, so they simply do not need to participate.

"Family martial arts, related to the distribution of family resources and the status of family members, etc., involves a huge amount, each session of the family martial arts competition is extremely fierce, although no killing is allowed, but some damage is inevitable. Fang Zongqing's expression became solemn, he looked at Fang Chong, and said, "So, Chong'er, if you don't want to participate in the family martial arts, I won't force you." ”

If you don't participate in the family martial arts, how can this work?

Fang Chong's heart was about to move, he felt that his blood was boiling, participating in the family martial arts, not only could he compete for a higher status, but he could also compete with those young masters in the family, which was exactly what Fang Chong longed for.

As for the danger, the path of martial arts, where there will be no danger, cultivation is to seek a breakthrough in danger, there is no battle, there is no danger, how can there be progress?

Looking at Fang Zongqing, Fang Chong shook his head firmly, and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

Fang Zongqing's eyes flashed with a bright light, but he was still a little uneasy, and advised: "Chong'er, the family's martial arts are extraordinary, and there are many people with peerless talents, and their cultivation is extremely powerful, although your strength is not bad, you still have to be careful and careful.....

"Dad, don't worry too much. Fang Zhong smiled and comforted: "With my strength, even if I can't defeat some people with great talents, there should be no problem with self-preservation, right?"

"That's right, I almost forgot, you kid is a demon. Fang Zongqing himself also laughed, feeling that he was really a little worried, with Fang Chong's cultivation, even the masters of the first-class martial artist realm were not afraid, how many young people under the age of eighteen had reached the first-class martial artist realm?

......

Ten days passed in a hurry, and as early as two days ago, Chonghe and Fang Zongqing had already arrived in Zhaonan County, and in order to catch up with the family martial arts, they deliberately advanced it two days earlier.

This day happened to be the tenth day, and the entire Zhaonan County looked a little different.

The Fang family is a big family in Zhaonan County, and the family martial arts held every three years are naturally well known, and many people with heads and faces and famous people will go to the Fang family to observe.

On the street of Zhaonan County, Fang Zhong and Fang Zongqing walked through the street and walked for half an hour before they came to the Fang family's mansion in the east of Zhaonan County.

The moment he saw the Fang family's mansion, Fang Chong was startled, and his heart was pounding.

Originally, he thought that the mansion that covered dozens of miles in the Vientiane Building was scary enough, but now that he saw the Fang family's mansion, he realized that his knowledge was still too little.

The Fang family's mansion, the whole is surrounded by tall walls, stretching out for a full fifty or sixty miles, and you can't see the edge at a glance, if it weren't for the vast and huge Zhaonan County, I'm afraid it really can't accommodate it.

From the outside, the Fang family's mansion is vertical and horizontal, the trees are uneven, the whole is a vast mountain forest, fifty or sixty miles away, the buildings are not very many, most of them are craggy rocks, steep peaks, majestic and magnificent, extremely magnificent.

"This Fang family's lineage is indeed extraordinary, and this vast mansion alone is scary enough. Fang Zhong took a deep breath and barely calmed down.

At the door of Fang's house, more than a dozen servants stood on both sides, receiving those who came separately.

The door is like a city, the hustle and bustle, the Fang family's three-year family discussion of martial arts, has indeed attracted a lot of people, many carriages stopped in front of the door, one by one the people who came are either rich or expensive, full of splendor, but also some people are imposing, cultivation is superb, very extraordinary.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front of him, and a dense crowd gave way to a road, and more than a dozen horses with snow-white bodies and black hooves, like horses walking on the clouds, walked slowly.

"That's someone from an Oriental family. ”

"The Oriental Family and the Fang Family are one of the three major families in Zhaonan County, powerful and unfathomable, it is said that this time it is the young generation of the Oriental Family, Dongfang Yun, who is known as a genius. ”

"Really, it turned out to be Dongfang Yun, I heard that he is only seventeen years old, but he has already reached the realm of a first-class martial artist, what a genius!"

"Hmph, what is it to reach the first-class martial artist at the age of seventeen, Zhang Wu, the seventh young master of the Zhang family in the three major families of Zhaonan County, has reached the realm of first-class martial artist at the age of fifteen....."

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and it spread into Fang Chong's ears, making him feel secretly awe-inspiring in his heart.

The three major families of Zhaonan County, namely the Fang family, the Zhang family, and the Dongfang family, listen to what those people say, the Dongfang family and the Zhang family have world-class talents, and they have reached the realm of first-class martial artists at the age of fifteen.

"Both the Dongfang family and the Zhang family have talented figures, so I'm afraid the Fang family also has them. Fang Zhong secretly noticed in his heart that the three major families were juxtaposed, since the other two great families all had geniuses who had reached the first-class martial artist in their teens, most of the Fang families also had this kind of character.

The people of the Dongfang family came slowly, and sure enough, they were all young people, the men were handsome and extraordinary, and the women were graceful and charming, all of them were dragons and phoenixes among people.

Fang Zhong couldn't help but look over, and was taken aback for a moment, not because he was surprised by those young boys and girls, but at the horses under their feet.

The horse's whole body was snow-white, and its mane was supple, as if there was a light flowing, but its four hooves were jet black, like a few dark clouds under its feet, adding a smart breath out of thin air.

On the forehead of the horse, there is a little protrusion, which is not too obvious, but only half an inch, but it is as clear as jade, like a mutton fat jade inlaid on it, shining with a blurred brilliance in the sun, dazzling, faintly there is a divine light circulating.

"Horn of the head, is this the legendary Ryoma?" Fang Zhong was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's not Ryoma. Next to him, a scholar-like person shook the folding fan in his hand and explained with a smile: "The dragon horse is a divine object, a supernatural psychic, it is so easy to domesticate there, this is just a cloud-stepping horse cultivated with the blood of the dragon horse, and it can be regarded as precious." ”

"Cloud-treading horses?"

"Well, don't you see their four hooves black, like stepping on black clouds? Although this cloud-stepping horse is not as strange as a dragon horse, it is also extraordinary, each cloud-stepping horse is worth a thousand gold, traveling thousands of miles a day, the footsteps are like flying, and the strength is infinite, even ordinary brute beasts are not their opponents. ”

The scholar-like person deliberately flirted, shaking the folding fan, and praising it in his mouth, it could be seen that he was extremely envious of this cloud-stepping horse, like a few treasures.

Fang Zhong turned his head and looked at the cloud horse, his heart was churning, this cloud horse was cultivated by the blood of the dragon horse, although the value of a thousand gold was a bit exaggerated, but the value of platinum was definitely there, so he had to sigh, the foundation of the great family was too strong, and even this kind of thing could be raised.

On the cloud-stepping horse, Dongfang Yun, a genius boy from the Dongfang family, was dressed in white, which complemented the cloud-stepping horse and looked handsome and extraordinary.

Fang Chong's gaze fell on Dongfang Yun, and he felt a strong internal strength fluctuation, which was not stable, as if it was constantly fluctuating, sometimes it was the early stage of a first-class martial artist, sometimes it was the middle stage of a first-class martial artist, and sometimes it was the late stage of a first-class martial artist, ethereal and hazy, very unreal.

Brush!

At this time, Dongfang Yun's gaze looked over at once, as sharp as a sword, fortunately, Fang Zhong looked away in time, otherwise he would be discovered by the other party.

"This Dongfang Yun is really strong, and he was discovered just by snooping at him. Fang Zhongzhong was awe-inspiring, and he didn't dare to spy on Dongfang Yun's cultivation anymore, and instead set his eyes on several other people.

The few people behind Dongfang Yun are also the descendants of the Dongfang family, although they are much worse than Dongfang Yunlai, but they have all reached the realm of second-rate martial artists, and one of them has reached the peak realm of second-rate martial artists, which is only a line worse than Dongfang Yun.

Immediately stepping on the clouds, Dongfang Yun also frowned slightly, and said to himself in his heart: "I obviously felt that someone was peeping at me just now, but now I am gone, who is it?"
