The three of them followed the eunuch, passed through the corridor, walked through several courtyards in a row, and finally came to a flower hall.

I only listened to the eunuch's report: "Good interpretation of the Hou, Ling Muyun, Zhong Lingchao to see the emperor, Niangniang." After speaking, he opened the curtain hanging at the door, and made a gesture to invite Ling Muyun and the others to enter.

Gao Shengtai glanced at Ling Muyun and Zhong Ling and walked into the flower hall. At this time, it was getting late, but dozens of thick red candles were lit in the flower hall, illuminating the entire flower hall as if it were day.

Ling Muyun raised his eyes and saw a pair of middle-aged men and women sitting in the middle of the flower hall, while Duan Zhengchun, Dao Baifeng and Duan Yu, who had come in earlier, were all sitting sideways to accompany each other.

The man and woman were dressed in a dragon robe and a phoenix robe, the man looked to be in his forties, with a long beard, and his appearance was five or six points similar to Duan Zhengchun, but he was more calm and majestic. The woman next to her looks like she is also in her thirties and forties, dignified and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament, I think it is the Emperor of Dali, Emperor Baoding, Duan Zhengming and his empress.

"The minister is promoted to see the emperor, Niangniang."

As soon as he entered the flower hall, Gao Shengtai knelt down to a man and a woman sitting in the center, Zhong Ling hesitated a little, and knelt down as well.

Only Ling Muyun still stood and didn't kneel, but just hugged his fist towards Duan Zhengming and performed a river and lake etiquette. That meaning is obvious, he came to see the head of the Duan family in Dali as a Jianghu person this time, not as an ordinary person to meet the emperor of Dali, and your emperor shelf should not be placed in front of me as soon as possible.

In fact, it is true that Ling Muyunjing is mainly the identity of the Duan family's martial arts family. and not the royal status of the Duan family. If it is an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes, although he disdains it, he is still quite in awe of the royal family in his heart, but Ling Muyun is not among them, thinking that he even dares to kill Genghis Khan and Kangxi, let alone the emperor of a small country in Dali.

Seeing this scene, Duan Yuren couldn't help but secretly sweat for Ling Muyun, for fear that Ling Muyun's move would make his uncle unhappy. But he can't say anything yet, Ling Muyun, the life-saving benefactor, is not willing to bow down and kowtow to his imperial uncle, can he still force the other party to kneel and worship?

Duan Zhengchun and Dao Baifeng were also secretly surprised in their hearts, Ling Muyun had behaved very humbly and politely in front of the two of them before. Why is it that when you get in front of the emperor, your head is not clear? Although the Duan family is indeed a martial heirloom. Claiming to be a martial arts family, but you can't really take the royal status of the Duan family seriously, right?

How did they know that Ling Muyun, who was a traverser, was not an ordinary rejection of the bow ceremony, except for the parents of heaven and earth. Who else deserves him to kneel? Giving them a salute is already on Duan Yu's face. Do you want him to kneel? That's wishful thinking!

"Good at explaining the Hou. You have a wound on your body, you don't have to be formal. Come and give a seat to Shanyanhou, Ling Gongzi and Miss Zhong. ”

Fortunately, Duan Zhengming is also quite generous. Seeing that Ling Muyun did not kneel and bow, he was not in awe of him as an emperor, but he was not annoyed, smiled slightly, and commanded in a harmonious voice.

There were already three chairs brought by the attendants, and Ling Muyun sat down with Gao Shengtai and Zhong Ling, and then sat down. At this time, everyone present also saw that Ling Muyun was not ignorant of etiquette, but put the two sides on an equal footing in his heart, and did not have the slightest reverence for their Duan family, so he was naturally unwilling to bow down and kowtow to Duan Zhengming.

After Ling Muyun and the other three sat down, Duan Zhengming said: "Ling Gongzi, Miss Zhong, I have already heard Yu'er say that he went out in distress several times this time, and it was all thanks to the support and help of the two of you, so that the danger was turned into a disaster and the danger was turned into safety, and my Duan family really didn't know how to thank it." ”

Ling Muyun smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty is polite, Brother Duan and I have like-minded interests and become close friends, friends are in trouble, and it is natural for them to help, there is nothing strange about it, but it is too polite to say thank you." ”

Duan Zhengming saw that Ling Muyun spoke appropriately in the face of him, neither humble nor arrogant, so he couldn't help but nod secretly and said, "Yu'er was able to make a friend like Ling Gongzi, it is indeed his creation, and I, as an uncle, am also very pleased. ”

"Your Majesty, I want to ask you something, I wonder if you will agree?" This clock spirit suddenly spoke.

"Oh?" Duan Zhengming smiled slightly and asked, "I don't know what you want, Miss Zhong, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to you." ”

Zhong Ling said: "Your Majesty, Brother Yu left home without permission this time, I am afraid that you will be angry, now Brother Yu has already known that he is wrong, don't beat him, okay?" ”

Duan Zhengming laughed and said: "It turns out that what the girl is asking for is this matter, I was going to beat him hard for fifty strokes, but since the girl intercedes, then spare it." Yu'er, you don't thank Miss Zhong yet. ”

Duan Yu saw that Zhong Ling made the emperor happy, and he was very happy, knowing that his uncle was easy-going, so he gave Zhong Ling a deep bow and said: "Thank you Ling'er for your intercession, if it weren't for Ling'er, I'm afraid that my flesh and skin would suffer." ”

Zhong Ling smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Yu, you don't have to be beaten, but you don't need to thank you." ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion in the house, and there was a sound of "pavilion" on the roof of several houses on the west side, followed by a "pavilion" on the house of the adjacent room, obviously someone broke into the palace and was running on the house, otherwise there would not be such a big movement. Then I heard a few squeezing sounds, and several people went up to the roof, and Chu Wanli's voice shouted: "Your Excellency came to the palace late at night, what do you want?" ”

A hoarse voice sounded: "I'm looking for an apprentice!" Tell me to come out to me, a good man. ”

Duan Yu and Zhong Ling couldn't help but glance at each other in horror, because they were all familiar with the voice of the person who came, it was the South China Sea Crocodile God.

Zhong Ling's face couldn't help but show a hint of anxiety, she was taken captive by the South China Sea Crocodile God for a few days, and naturally knew the power of the South China Sea Crocodile God. Although the palace is heavily guarded, the guards are like clouds, Zhennan Wang, Ling Muyun, Gao Shengtai and Chu Gu Fu Zhu and others are all strong in martial arts, but the South China Sea crocodile god is too powerful, such as Ye Erniang, Yun Zhonghe, and the "world's number one villain" who has never shown up to help, the four evils join forces, if you want to forcibly capture Duan Yu, I am afraid that it will not be easy to stop.

At this time, I only heard Chu Wanli shouting: "Who is Your Excellency's disciple?" In the palace of Zhennan Wangfu, how can there be your Excellency's apprentices? Get out of here! ”

Then he didn't see the South China Sea crocodile god answer. Suddenly, there was a sound of "snort", and a big hand was stretched out in mid-air, tearing the curtain hanging on the door of the flower hall in half, and the figure flickered, and the South China Sea crocodile god had swept into the hall.

Because Duan Yu was sitting next to Duan Zhengming, the South China Sea Crocodile God saw it at a glance, and immediately laughed and shouted, "The fourth brother is right, you are really here." Quickly beg me to take you as an apprentice and follow me to learn kung fu. ”

As he spoke, his body fluttered out like a gale. Stretched out a hand like a chicken claw and grabbed Duan Yu's shoulder violently.

Duan Zhengchun was in a hurry when he saw that he was coming this way. It's really powerful, for fear that he will hurt his son, so he immediately got up and waved his palm. The palms of the two touched each other, and there was a "bang". Both feel the internal force shocked. Duan Zhengchun's body shook. Stand firm. The South China Sea Crocodile God was shocked, and he couldn't help but take two steps back before he could gain a firm foothold.

The South China Sea crocodile was secretly frightened. Drink asked, "Who are you?" What does it matter to you that I have come to lead my disciples? ”

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said: "In the lower Duan Zhengchun, he is the king of Dali Zhennan, this mansion is my mansion, Duan Yu, this child is my biological son, when did he worship you as a teacher?" How did I not know? ”

Duan Yu smiled and said: "Dad, he is the third child of the South China Sea crocodile god Yue among the four evildoers, he insists on accepting me as an apprentice, I said that I have already worshiped the master, but he doesn't believe it." ”

The South China Sea Crocodile God saw that the apprentice in his hand was about to fly, and he didn't care about correcting Duan Yu for calling him Yue Laosan. He looked at Duan Yu, and then at Duan Zhengchun, the king of Zhennan, and said: "The old ones are very strong in martial arts, but the little ones don't know at all, I don't believe that you are the two of you." Duan Zhengchun, let's be so-so, even if he is your son. But the way you teach martial arts is wrong, your son is too. It's a pity, hehe, it's a pity. ”

Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but be angry and funny, what is so-so and his son? Does this still count? However, he was right to palm this person, and he knew that this person's martial arts were good, but he didn't dare not take his words seriously, so he asked, "What is a pity?" ”

The South China Sea Crocodile God said: "Your son is very similar to me, he is an extremely rare martial arts material, he only needs to learn from me for ten years, and he will become a great master in the martial arts." But if it's in your hands, this rare martial arts wizard can be regarded as blind. ”

Everyone present couldn't help but feel strange, the words of the heart are really inexplicable, you are strong in martial arts and ugly in appearance, but Duan Yu is handsome and handsome, and has no martial arts at all, what are you like? What's more, add the word "very"?

I heard the South China Sea Crocodile God continue: "Your son has long hands and long arms, a convex skull, a soft waist and ribs, is smart and agile, not very old, and a man, he is really a martial artist. Look, isn't the back of my skull like your son? As he spoke, he turned around and patted the back of his skull at Duan Zhengchun.

Only then did everyone understand that his so-called Duan Yu was very similar to him, but it was just a similarity between the two of them.

At this moment, I only heard Duan Yu say: "Yue Laosan, you are not good at martial arts, you are not worthy of being my master, you go back to Wankou Island in the South China Sea to practice for another twenty years, and then come out to talk about martial arts with others." ”

The South China Sea Crocodile God was furious and shouted: "With you, this kid, you are also worthy of saying that I am not good at martial arts?" ”

Duan Yu said: "I ask you: 'Wind and thunder, a gentleman moves when he sees goodness, and changes if he has a fault', what does that mean? ”

The South China Sea Crocodile God was stunned and said angrily: "What's the meaning of that? What kind of wind, thunder, nonsense. ”

Duan Yu said: "You don't even understand these few shallowest words, what else are you talking about martial arts?" I ask you again, 'The people say that there is no boundary.' From top to bottom, its path is bright. What does that mean? ”

Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhengchun, Gao Shengtai and others couldn't help but laugh when they heard him quote the words in the I Ching to tease this person. Because of Huang Rong, Ling Muyun also has some knowledge of I Ching gossip and the like, and he also knows what Duan Yu said. Although Zhong Ling didn't understand what he said, he guessed that it was probably Sour Xiucai who was dropping his schoolbag.

Duan Zhengchun saw that the comer was only one of the four evils, and although his martial arts were not weak, he was still a step worse than himself, so he might as well make fun of this fool, and make the emperor, queen and his wife laugh, and at the moment, his son would talk nonsense, and he would not say anything to stop it.

The South China Sea Crocodile God was stunned, and saw that everyone had a mockery on their faces, and expected that most of what Duan Yu said was not a good thing, so he roared and was about to strike with his palm. Duan Zhengchun took half a step and stopped between him and his son. The South China Sea crocodile god was afraid of Duan Zhengchun's strong martial arts, so he forcibly restrained himself.

With his father's support, Duan Yu became more and more energetic, laughing mockingly. said to the South China Sea Crocodile God: "These are the secrets of martial arts that I said, and the mysteries are endless, and you don't understand them." You are a frog at the bottom of the well, you still want to be my master, don't you laugh at the crooked mouths of the people of the world? Haha, some of the masters I worship are Yudong immortals, some are well-educated Confucians, and some are virtuous monks. You, if you study for another ten years, you may not be able to worship me as a teacher. ”

Ling Muyun couldn't help but smile. Maybe others thought that Duan Yu was just saying it. It was used to make up the number, but he knew that the master in Duan Yu's words was all referring to something. Duan Yu has been familiar with poetry, books and Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, and he has consulted a lot of Confucians and virtuous monks, and the jade cave is immortal. refers to the jade statue in Langhuan's secret cave.

The South China Sea crocodile was so angry that he jumped to his feet and shouted: "I don't believe it." I don't believe it. Who is the Master you worship? Tell him to come out and show me a few hands. ”

Duan Yu saw his uncle grinning on his face, and his father connived at him. He was even more proud, and said to the South China Sea Crocodile God: "Okay, if you have the courage to be here, I'll invite my master to come, don't be scared and run away." ”

"My second brother Yue has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes all his life, who have you been afraid of? Go, go. The South China Sea crocodile god said angrily, "Why should I escape? Damn, you refuse to switch to the Master, I think it must be your dark master who doesn't agree, I'll break your bullshit master's neck first, and if you don't have a master, you have to worship me as a teacher. Well, that's a brilliant idea, I'm really smart, hahaha......"

The more the South China Sea Crocodile God spoke, the more he felt that the idea he had come up with was so clever, that he claimed to have praised himself twice, and couldn't help but laugh out loud in the lunch hall.

"Yue Laosan, you are very arrogant! But is there room for arrogance here? At this moment, a lazy voice suddenly sounded in the flower hall.

"Who is his grandmother who dares to say this to Lao Tzu...... Belch! ”

The South China Sea Crocodile God shouted angrily and turned his head to look, but after seeing the appearance of the person who spoke, the unfinished words were suddenly held in his throat, and his burnt yellow cheeks were suffocated. Because he found out that the person who spoke was not someone else, it was Ling Muyun who scared him away more than a day ago!

Because Ling Muyun was arranged to sit on the side of the flower hall with Zhong Ling, Gao Shengtai and others, and after the South China Sea Crocodile God broke into the flower hall, he saw Duan Yu sitting at the top at a glance, and his attention was focused on Duan Yu's body, so he didn't notice Ling Muyun's existence at all, and he didn't see Ling Muyun until this time.

Seeing that Ling Muyun, who made him the most fearful and fearful, was also here, the South China Sea Crocodile God suddenly felt that his legs and stomach were a little tendoned, and he couldn't help but laugh dryly, and said, "Ling Gongzi, it turns out that you ...... You're here too. ”

Ling Muyun said, "What, do you think I can't be here?" Or do you think I'm getting in your way here? ”

"No, no, I ...... I don't mean that, Ling Gongzi can go wherever he wants, how dare I interfere. The South China Sea crocodile god waved his hand again and again and said, his fear overflowing.

The South China Sea Crocodile God dealt with Ling Muyun on his lips, but he secretly complained in his heart, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, he was afraid of two people, one was his boss Duan Yanqing, and the other was Ling Muyun.

In contrast, he was in awe of Duan Yanqing, but he was far more afraid of Ling Muyun than respectful. After all, Duan Yanqing just taught him two lessons when he had nothing to do, and let him suffer a little flesh and blood, and it was impossible to really kill him.

But Ling Muyun almost abolished his martial arts as soon as he saw him, and it was not strange that he was in a bad mood and wanted his life. If he had known that Ling Muyun was also here, he would not have come here to find Duan Yu's apprenticeship.

Although in the eyes of the South China Sea Crocodile God, Duan Yu is simply a martial arts wizard who was born to practice his South China Sea Sect martial arts, if he can be included in his disciple and carefully taught, he will definitely be able to outshine the blue in the future, carry forward his name of the South China Sea Sect, and let his name of the South China Sea Crocodile God be more widely praised in the rivers and lakes.

But if the apprentice can't harvest it this time, he can find a way next time, but if this little life is gone, then he can't be saved.

Gao Shengtai, Zhong Ling, Duan Yu and the others were okay, they had seen the scene of the encounter between the South China Sea Crocodile God and Ling Muyun when they were in Wuliang Mountain before, and they knew that the South China Sea Crocodile God seemed to have suffered a loss under Ling Muyun's hands, so they were quite afraid of Ling Muyun, and they didn't feel surprised to see such a scene again at this time.

But Duan Zhengchun and the others were secretly surprised in their hearts, everyone saw the scene of Duan Zhengchun fighting with the South China Sea Crocodile God, and knew that although the martial arts of the South China Sea Crocodile God were slightly weaker than Duan Zhengchun, he was also a real master.

And looking at his previous performance, it is not difficult to see that although the South China Sea Crocodile God seems to be a little unenlightened in his head, he is an unruly character, how can such a character be so jealous or even afraid of a young man like Ling Muyun?

Duan Zhengming and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, and in their hearts, Ling Muyun's status was raised to another level, being able to make a notorious villain like the South China Sea Crocodile God so fearful, it seemed that Ling Muyun was not as simple as they had imagined before.

At this time, I heard Ling Muyun say: "Yue Laosan, what did you just say?" I'm going to break my Brother Duan's neck, yes or no? ”

"Yes, that's what I said."

The South Sea Crocodile God sensed that Ling Muyun's tone seemed to be a little wrong, and vaguely guessed that there might be something wrong with this that he didn't know, but he still admitted it.

"Hehe, you have such a big breath!" Ling Muyun sneered and said, "Yue Laosan, it's not that I look down on you, if my brother Duan's master makes a move, you can survive the three moves, and you dare to shout that you want to break someone's neck?" It's overwhelming! (To be continued......)
