Chapter 298: Relatives? Enemy?

Ling Muyun and his party arrived at Dewang's house, but they saw that the mansion was magnificent and the houses were tall, and one family occupied half of the street. Two large stone lions stand on both sides of the portal, the vermilion lacquer gate, the two large copper rings on the door, rubbed crystal bright, eight strong men in yellow shirts hang their hands and wait outside the gate. There is a plaque hanging on the top of the gate, on which there are four gold lacquer characters of "Golden Knife Wangjia", silver hook and iron stroke, the momentum is extraordinary, but I don't know whose handwriting it is.

Seeing this scene, Ling Muyun secretly compared with his own house, and found that whether it was the scale of the house or the faΓ§ade decoration, it was not bad at all compared to his own Fuwei Dart Bureau, but after all, his own family was a dart game, and he did business externally, and he raised a lot of dart masters inside, and the scale was inevitably larger. But his grandfather's family only lived in his own house, so he built the house so big, which shows that the family is rich and has a lot of money.

At this time, I saw Huang Rong leaning over and whispering to Ling Muyun: "Brother Yun, your grandfather's family is so generous, even more generous than ours!" ”

Ling Muyun nodded and did not speak.

Everyone entered the mansion, Wang Yuanba ordered his son to call out all the relatives in the family to meet Ling Muyun and others, there was not much time, Ling Muyun's grandmother, eldest aunt, two cousins of the eldest uncle's family, the second aunt, and a cousin of the second uncle's family all came out of the inner house.

When everyone saw each other, it was naturally necessary to have another courtesy and affection, Ling Zhennan took out the gifts brought this time one by one, from the old Taishan Wang Yuanba to Wang Zhongqiang's daughter Wang Xiuling, there was no shortage of one. They are all valuable things, especially the gift to Wang Yuanba, the old birthday star, is the most valuable, a fist-sized night pearl. Priceless.

Wang Yuanba's family was quite happy, and they also gave a lot of good things to Ling Muyun and others, the Wang family and the Ling family are both big families, rich and wealthy, and the gifts they take out will naturally not be bad.

However, what made Ling Muyun very unhappy was that during this period, his two cousins' eyes took the time to look at Huang Rong, Shuang'er and Mei Ruohua's bodies, among which Huang Rong may have been afraid of being Ling Muyun's fiancΓ©e, so he just glanced at them a few times, but he was a little unscrupulous towards Shuang'er and Mei Ruohua.

In fact, with the appearance of Shuang'er and Mei Ruohua. It's not surprising that it attracts the attention of men. Needless to say, Shuang'er is young and beautiful, but Mei Ruohua is also heroic and glamorous.

Because Ling Muyun found a body for Mei Ruohua to borrow the corpse to return the soul, the original owner was a young lady from a small martial arts family, and she was only engaged soon because of bad fate. The husband lost his life in the battle in the rivers and lakes. This young lady of the family kept watch. So the two sides of the mother's husband's house did not wait to see each other, so he died of depression when he was not yet thirty years old, and he was not able to enter the ancestral graves of the two families. Just find a random grave outside and bury it hastily.

It happened that Ling Muyun asked someone to release the wind to collect the woman's corpse, so the tomb thieves dug it up and sold it to Ling Muyun's hands overnight, which allowed Mei Ruohua to borrow the corpse to return her soul. Because the original owner of this corpse is quite pretty, Mei Ruohua has added a bit of heroism after resurrection through the corpse, so it is even more wild and charming.

It's just that no matter how beautiful Shuang'er and Mei Ruohua look, after all, they all came with Ling Muyun and others, they are from the Ling family, and it doesn't hurt to simply appreciate them, but it's too much to look at them endlessly like his two cheap cousins. If it weren't for the kinship between them, Ling Muyun would have to teach them a good lesson.

And Ling Muyun knew in his heart that Shuang'er was gentle, Mei Ruohua was not good at stubble, otherwise he would not have made a great name for the black wind and two evils in the world of condor shooting, if it weren't for his face, with the performance of his two cheap cousins, Mei Ruohua might have directly rewarded the two Nine Yin White Bone Claws.

Later, Wang Yuanba couldn't stand it anymore, and glared at the two grandsons fiercely, and Ling Muyun's two cheap cousins relented a little.

That night, Wang Yuanba had a feast, feasted Ling Muyun's family, drank three rounds, and cooked five flavors, as a person in the martial arts, it was inevitable to talk about martial arts, only to hear Wang Yuanba ask Ling Zhennan: "Virtuous son-in-law, I haven't seen you for so many years, I don't know how your martial arts are improving?" The family heirloom sword technique to ward off evil spirits must have been completed, right? ”

Ling Zhennan shook his head and said, "It's a shame to say that my son-in-law has a reckless qualification, and although he has worked hard all these years, he has never been able to cultivate the family heirloom sword technique to the superior realm. ”

Ling Zhennan's words are also true and false, it is true that he failed to practice the family heirloom sword technique to the superior realm.

The Ling family's swordsmanship not only contains seventy-two swordsmanship, but also contains a unique internal strength method, the two are coordinated, the practice is extremely fast, and the power is great, that is, looking at the entire rivers and lakes, it is also a first-class swordsmanship, practicing to a high depth, and even hoping for the realm of the grandmaster, Ling Zhennan has not been taught all kinds of divine skills by his son, but he has only become a small cultivator the day after tomorrow, and the swordsmanship is also commonplace, so it cannot be said that he has practiced to the superior realm.

However, the reason why Ling Zhennan failed to practice the evil sword technique was not because of his own reckless qualifications, but because of the harsh cultivation requirements of the evil sword technique. These all involve the secrets of the Ling family, and Ling Zhennan naturally won't say it easily.

"Brother-in-law, you are too modest in what you say, who in the rivers and lakes does not know the prestige of your Fuwei Dart Bureau Ling family? Even the Qingcheng faction in Shuzhong hit your Ling family's body and broke the blood, and even the life of the head Yu Cangshan was lost, brother-in-law, but you said that your swordsmanship was not successful, could it be that those Qingchengmen people and Yu Cangshan are all waste? ”

Wang Bofen laughed, and suddenly said, his eyes were still staring at Ling Zhennan as he spoke, as if he wanted to see something from Ling Zhennan's reaction.

At the same time, several other people at the table also "brushed" their eyes on Ling Zhennan, obviously concerned about this issue.

The previous Qingcheng faction made a big move to sweep away the Fuwei dart game, but not only was it not able to eradicate the Fuwei dart game as expected, but there were heavy casualties, and even the head Yu Cangshan was forced to retreat by heavy injuries, and then he was intercepted and killed on the road before returning to the mountain.

Although in the end, it was not found out who the murderer was, but almost everyone in the rivers and lakes believed that it was the Ling family, and they were impressed by the strength of the Ling family, and at the same time, the prestige of the Ling family's evil sword technique resounded in the rivers and lakes again.

And because Ling Fang, the number one master of the Ling family, disappeared for many years. There are not many people who still know him, so most people think that the number one master of the Ling family is Ling Zhennan, and the nature of killing Yu Cangshan is Ling Zhennan, so Ling Zhennan's status in the rivers and lakes has also risen sharply for more than a year, and Ling Zhennan, who can only be regarded as a second- or third-rate figure in the rivers and lakes, is now an existence that can be compared with many famous heads of big factions in the eyes of many people.

And after all this reached the ears of the Wang family, the Wang family was also surprised, because it was the relationship between the in-laws, they still knew a lot about Ling Zhennan's martial arts, they really couldn't believe it, but the rumors in the rivers and lakes all said so. Again, they had to believe. Therefore, Wang Bofen will speak tentatively at this time.

A gleam flashed in Ling Zhennan's eyes, and then he smiled faintly as if nothing had happened, and said, "Big brother, you look down on me too much, Yu Cangshan is a congenital master who has been famous for many years. How can I deal with it, little brother? He was repelled by my family's old housekeeper Ling Fang with a lot of injuries. As for who killed him. Then I don't know. ”

Ling Muyun next to him moved in his heart, what his father said was not true, who was the person who killed Yu Cangshan Ling Zhennan would not know? If he's not mistaken. After he killed Yu Cangshan and went home, he told his father in person. It's just that why did his father deliberately hide it from his uncle? Could it be that there was something else in it that he didn't know?

"Ling Fang? Hasn't he been abolished by Zuo Guchan? How can you still repel Yu Cangshan?! Wang Bofen said in surprise, but then he seemed to realize something, a trace of remorse flashed on his face, and he closed his mouth.

Ling Muyun's heart jumped, he had heard his father Ling Zhennan say that for the sake of the family's safety, Ling Fang's injury and declining skill had been kept strictly secret from the outside world since it happened, how did his cheap uncle know? Could it be that his mother inadvertently leaked it?

Thinking of this, Ling Muyun couldn't help but look at his mother Wang Yue, just in time to see a flash of surprise in Wang Yue'e's eyes, obviously his mother was also quite surprised by this. In this way, most of the news was not leaked by his mother, but where did his cheap uncle get this news? And he knows it in such detail, he even knows who Ling Fang was injured by!

Thinking of this, Ling Muyun already had some vague speculations in his heart, it seemed that the relationship between his family and his cheap grandfather's family was not as simple as he thought before.

A trace of doubt also flashed in the depths of Ling Zhennan's eyes, but it disappeared immediately, and Yun said lightly: "His injury has actually been healed a long time ago, if it weren't for this, this time the Qingcheng faction attacked, and the Fuwei Dart Bureau might be difficult to survive." ”

"Oh, I see." Wang Bofen nodded when he heard this, and then said nothing more.

Then both sides seemed to have lost interest in continuing to talk about this matter, and invariably shifted the topic away from this aspect, and began to tell some martial arts anecdotes, anecdotes, and the respective development of the two families over the years.

After eating the banquet, Wang Yuanba ordered someone to arrange a guest room for Ling Muyun's family and led everyone to the room to rest. The Wang family's mansion is very large and has many guest rooms, so in addition to arranging Ling Zhennan and Wang Yue'e in one guest room, the rest of Ling Muyun and the others are all one person in one room, just for convenience, everyone's guest rooms are next to each other.

Ling Muyun entered the guest room arranged for him, and saw that the room was neat and clean, fully equipped, and the beds were all brand-new brocade bedding. Just spread out the bedding, suddenly heard a knock on the door, Ling Muyun opened the door and took a look, and found that it was Daddy Ling Zhennan who knocked on the door.

"Dad, why are you here? Come in. ”

Ling Muyun was slightly taken aback, and then hurriedly let Ling Zhennan into the room.

After Ling Zhennan entered the room, he glanced around, saw the bedding that had been spread out on the bed, and asked, "What, Yun'er, do you want to sleep?" ”

"Not really." Ling Muyun smiled faintly and said, "The child just spread it out easily, and he is not sleepy yet, and he didn't want to fall asleep so early." ”

"Hmm." Ling Zhennan nodded.

"Dad, did you come to me for something?"

Ling Zhennan said: "Yes, my father does have something I want to tell you. ”

"Daddy, please speak, boy."

"Our family hasn't come to see your grandfather for seven or eight years, so I'm here to celebrate your grandfather's birthday this time. No matter what, you have to live for ten days and a half months, and you can't leave until your grandfather's birthday is completely over. Ling Zhennan said.

"I came this time to tell you, in these days at your grandfather's house, try to be as little showy as possible, if your cousin wants to compete with you in martial arts, you can refuse, if you can't refuse, don't make real kung fu, as long as the scene is passable, after all, they are all family. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. The most important thing is to be in harmony with relatives and not to hurt feelings. ”

Listening to Ling Zhennan's words, Ling Muyun's heart moved, and his spiritual sense suddenly opened. Sensed around. Found within a radius of tens of zhang. Except for his own family, who were resting together in the guest room, there were no outsiders, no one eavesdropping. Only then did he look at Ling Zhennan with a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "Dad, do you want me to guard against something?" ”

Ling Zhennan's face changed slightly, he glanced at Ling Muyun deeply, was silent for a moment, sighed softly, and said, "As a father, I know that most of this matter can't be hidden from you, and you really suspect it." That being the case, the father will not hide it from you, yes, the father really wants you to be careful and beware of your grandfather and them. ”

Ling Muyun secretly said in his heart, and then said, "Daddy, please tell me in detail, listen to the child." ”

"Because you're still young, there are some things I haven't told you before. In fact, over the years, our family has not come to Luoyang County to see your grandfather, on the one hand, because they are afraid that Luozhou is the sphere of influence of the Songshan faction, and our family has an enmity with the Songshan faction, and the risk of coming here is too great; On the other hand, it is also because the relationship between our family and your grandfather's family is not very good. ”

Ling Zhennan raised his eyes and looked out the window, his gaze was far away, and he said lightly: "Although your mother and I really love each other, the marriage between the two of us has been artificially mixed with too many other things from the beginning. ”

"My martial arts training qualifications for my father are not very good, plus the strict cultivation requirements of our Ling family's seventy-two ways to ward off evil swordsmanship, so although my father had a good reputation when he was young, although he had a big name for the Ling family of Fuwei Dart Bureau, his martial arts were not very good, and he couldn't even rank third-rate in the rivers and lakes."

"And at that time, your mother was a famous golden knife pretty lady in Luozhou martial arts, I don't know how many young people love to pursue your mother, originally your grandfather they looked down on their father, and they did not agree to the marriage between your mother and me, and even wanted to break up as a father and your mother at one time. It's just that later, for some reason, my attitude suddenly reversed and I agreed to my marriage to your mother. ”

"I originally thought that your grandfather saw that I and your mother were really in love with each other, and didn't want to beat the mandarin ducks, so I agreed to our marriage, but it wasn't until after the marriage that your mother told me that your grandfather was not moved by my true feelings for your mother at all, but fell in love with the seventy-two ways of warding off evil swordsmanship handed down by our Ling family!"

"The reason why your grandfather agreed to marry your mother to me is that he wants your mother to try to steal our Ling family's seventy-two ways of warding off evil swordsmanship to him. It's just that your mother didn't want to lie to her father and told me everything. After learning the news, I was extremely shocked, but after all, I had become a relative, and my father didn't want to make a mess of my relatives, so I began to deliberately distance myself from your grandfather's family. Later, your Uncle Fang was injured under Zuo Guchan's hands, and the business of our family dart bureau was completely withdrawn from the north, and there was even less contact with your grandfather's family. ”

"Then my grandfather, didn't they take any other actions to steal our Ling family's evil sword technique?" Ling Muyun asked.

"No, since our family's business withdrew from the north, your grandfather only brought your two uncles to our house to see you once seven years ago, and he left after staying for a long time, and he has not been here since, and he has never used any other means."

Ling Zhennan shook his head, and then said: "I thought that over the years, your grandfather and they had already put out the idea of our Ling family's evil sword technique, and it coincided with your grandfather's seventieth birthday, so I thought about bringing you to celebrate your birthday and ease the relationship between them." But now it seems that your grandfather still doesn't give up! ”

Ling Muyun shook his head: "Dad, I don't think your method will work." ”

"Oh?" Ling Zhennan was slightly stunned and asked, "You can tell me, why can't it work?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Dad, do you want us to keep a low profile in my grandfather's house these days, and when we encounter the temptation of my grandfather and his family, we also pretend to admit defeat, so that they think that our Ling family's evil sword technique is nothing great, and then extinguish their covetousness, right?"

Ling Zhennan nodded: "Yes, that's right." ”

"But Daddy, have you ever thought that even if you do this, even if it can work for a while, can it still work for a lifetime? We can't practice a strong martial arts, but we won't show it to the outside world for the rest of our lives! ”

Ling Muyun shook his head and sighed: "Besides, with the great fame of my great-ancestor Yuan Tugong back then, and our achievements against the Qingcheng faction behind, even if we don't perform martial arts well, and the swordsmanship of warding off evil spirits is ordinary, will my grandfather believe it?" I don't think so! ”

"And what do you mean?"

"If you want me to say, since they want to know, then let's simply shake out all our skills and let them know that our strength is not something they can worry about. I think that when the great-ancestor Yuan Tugong crisscrossed the southern green forest road, the seventy-two road evil sword method was famous, why did no one dare to fight his idea? Isn't it because he is strong enough that no one dares to provoke him? (To be continued......)
