The four ancient martial arts families in China are the Hedong Chu family, the Lingnan Zhao family, the Jiangzuo Ye family, and the Longyou Yu family, which have been inherited for thousands of years, multiplied from generation to generation, and experienced the rise and fall of several dynasties, and those mysterious ancient martial arts are the key to their standstill.

When Zhao Jingcai told Mu Lan, Lin Yiyi and Ah Feng also came over to listen, and Zhao Hongxuan and Zhao Jingshu actually didn't know about these things for long, and they also gathered around when they saw this.

Looking at the young people's inquisitive eyes, Zhao Jingcai smiled and continued: "The ancient martial arts family will cultivate children who are suitable for cultivation, and pass on these martial arts, and these descendants will become the core of the family, and young people who have no potential will gradually be marginalized, and I am one of them." ”

"Uncle, how does the family determine whether the descendants of the family have the talent for cultivation?" Mu Lan was a little curious, she glanced at Zhao Hongxuan next to her, and she really couldn't see any "bone Qingqi" characteristics.

"It's the spiritual root." Zhao Jingcai replied: "The family elders have a way to see how the spiritual roots of the juniors are, this is an innate qualification, and the offspring with excellent spiritual roots are more suitable for cultivation. ”

"For example, I don't have anything to do with the spiritual root." Zhao Jingcai laughed self-deprecatingly, "The elder said that I am extremely stupid, and it is difficult for me to achieve great things in my life. ”

"Dad!" Zhao Jingshu grabbed Zhao Jingcai's arm and said coquettishly: "If you can't achieve great things, didn't you pick up that business achievement?" The elders must have looked away. ”

Zhao Jingcai laughed heartily, he shaved Zhao Jingshu's face, and then sighed: "The family respects strength, and what can be beaten is excellent in their eyes, even if I have thousands of family wealth now, they can't look down on it." ”

"Dad, don't say that......" Zhao Jingshu comforted Zhao Jingcai like a flower.

"There are always things that people are good at and what they are not good at." Zhao Hongxuan explained: "Now that the world has changed, I think your self-made achievements are no less than those children of the family, and you were right to leave at the beginning......

Zhao Jingcai smiled, his thoughts were a little distant, "It's really right, you may not even be able to save your life if you stay in the Zhao family at the beginning......"

He looked at Mu Lan, his expression suddenly became a little solemn, "Didn't you just ask why the Zhao Ye family had a feud?" ”

Mu Lan nodded.

"Several families are reluctant to mention this matter, because it involves a major event twenty years ago......"

Zhao Jingcai seemed to fall into memories and thought of the past.

"Twenty years ago, civil strife broke out at the same time among the four major families, and in the Lingnan Zhao family, the elders of the family were divided into two factions overnight and attacked each other, and the eldest son of the old family owner was killed in this battle."

This is the first time he has told the secrets of the Zhao family in Lingnan, and even Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but be curious and came over.

"The Ye family has made a lot of efforts in it, and it can be said that it is one of the murderers of Uncle Zhao, so the two families actually formed a grudge very early."

"Why did civil strife break out among the families?" Zhao Ziyu wondered.

"I don't know that." Zhao Jingcai shook his head, "I'm just a marginal person in the family, and I don't know why the battle started. ”

"The Zhao family was also reshuffled because of this, and every day was accompanied by conspiracy and killing, and I and several brothers and sisters of the same generation took this opportunity to flee Lingnan, and were later removed from the family tree."

"It's been twenty years, and the old master is nearly ninety years old, I didn't expect to see him again in my lifetime......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Jingcai fell silent, Mu Lan repeatedly thought about the family past he said, and another memory came to mind.

Chu Chen once said that his family was also in a civil strife twenty years ago, and he was sent out of the Chu family to be adopted by his adoptive father since he was a child......

But why did the Chu family intercept and kill Zhao's father and his party? Could it be that there is also an unknown enmity between them?

From this point of view, there are too many grievances and entanglements between the ancient martial arts families, and Mu Lan faintly feels that something big will happen during the trip to Lingnan.

"What do you think?" Lin Yiyi waved in front of Mu Lan's eyes, and Mu Lan noticed that Zhao Jingcai was looking at herself with a smile.

"Sorry for getting distracted." Mu Lan smiled apologetically.

Zhao Jingcai didn't care, he said with a smile: "Are you addicted to the story, yes, the previous story of the family is even more bizarre and twisty." ”

"Is the old master ninety this year?" Zhao Ziyu asked suddenly.

"yes." Zhao Jingcai looked at his eldest son, "What's wrong?" ”

"Isn't the folk custom here nine or ten years old?" Zhao Ziyu scratched his hair, "I thought the old master was eighty-nine years old this year. ”

"I don't know that." Zhao Jingcai thought for a moment, "Maybe it has something to do with the replacement of the new old master." ”

There is another important event that will happen at the time of the birthday, that is, the old family owner will pass on the throne to his eldest grandson, and the importance of this matter will be higher than the birthday.

The topic of the ancient martial arts family made everyone interested, but Zhao Jingcai felt that these things were difficult to explain clearly, looked up at the sun, and found that the time had been delayed for a long time, so he waved his hand and said:

"If there are no special circumstances, let's move on."

Mu Lan nodded, just now the bodyguards drove an off-road vehicle back to Luo County, and the remaining few people were ready to continue to set off in the RV, while the off-road vehicle of the Nirvana team followed behind the RV.

Zhao Ziyu started the car, and Lin Yiyi's head poked over, "Your father told you to go to the car in front, why don't you go." ”

"You like, you go." Zhao Ziyu glanced at her, "It's all kinds of interrogations when I go back, I can't stand that old guy." ”

"Okay."

......

The two cars continued to drive on the winding mountain road for a few hours, the sky was getting thicker, and it was about to get dark, Zhao's father's car began to slow down, and Zhao Ziyu also kept a large distance from the car in front.

Parking in this kind of place is not very safe, so everyone plans to continue to rush the night, the sudden high beam is turned on, in order to prevent fatigue driving, Zhao Ziyu and A Feng also changed positions halfway.

The road conditions have become more and more steep, and the mountains have also risen high, and now the altitude is more than a thousand meters.

"How do I hear movement on the mountain?" Lin Yiyi woke up violently, and instantly took out the short bow in the ring.

"It should be the beast of the mountain barking." Mu Lan also heard that sound, but the detection spell didn't perceive it, indicating that the distance was extremely far.

Zhao Ziyu was sleeping in Zhengxiang, so he shouldn't have noticed this, and Ah Feng looked at the dark night outside the window and frowned.

"I've heard that there are tigers in this kind of place."

"South China Tiger?" Lin Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if it's just a beast." ”

Compared to the beasts outside, Mu Lan was more worried about the people on the road, they were not alone along the way, several off-road vehicles had passed by on the narrow winding mountain road, Ah Feng looked at the past vigilantly every time, he speculated that these people all had the same destination.

It was opened so carefully all night, without any accidents, the eastern sky revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the sky was about to dawn.

As the altitude got higher and higher, the air became more humid and cold, and even Mu Lan, the Chosen One, felt uncomfortable in her body, while Lin Yiyi was wrapped in a down jacket and shrunk next to Mu Lan like a ball, shivering.

"Mr. Ah Feng, didn't you turn on the air conditioner?" Lin Yiyi complained.

"I'm on." Ah Feng held the steering wheel with one hand, and his right hand began to move his fingers, he also felt that the temperature was wrong, and frowned: "It's a little strange." ”

Zhao Ziyu woke up from freezing, he sneezed a few times, and then looked out the window.

"Where have we been? Why is it so wet? ”

Mu Lan also looked out of the car window, the trees on both sides were rapidly receding, and a huge lake appeared below in the dotted mountains.

The fog was thick, the valley was hazy and it was difficult to see clearly, and the sudden drop in temperature should be related to the lake.

"It turned out to be foggy." Lin Yiyi suddenly realized.

Ah Feng was still frowning, he looked at the lake in the distance and was silent.

"What's wrong?" Mu Lan said softly.

"There is no ......lake here," Ah Feng pointed to the car navigation system.

Mu Lan took a closer look, and sure enough, there was no big lake in this location.
