Chapter 48: The Study
Old man Liu's study, elegant and simple, a simple bookshelf, put some books, in addition, there are not many decorations, a framed antique poem hung on the wall, it reads: The fisherman is in the west rock at night, Xiaoji Qingxiang burns Chu bamboo, the sunrise of the cigarette sells and no one is seen, and the landscape is green. Looking back at the middle stream of the sky, there are no clouds chasing each other on the rocks.
Old Man Liu saw Tang Ao stop to look at the ancient poems, so he said, "Tang Shao is also interested in poetry?" ”
Tang Ao smiled: "I don't understand the poems, but I look at the framed rice paper and painting scrolls, which are actually antiques, so I'm a little curious." However, your Liu family is rich and powerful, and there are not a few people who want to come to this kind of antique-level calligraphy and painting. ”
Old man Liu said: "The wealth is too strong to be, and some antiques are occasionally collected, but this ancient poem is left by the ancestors." ”
Tang Ao was shocked when he heard this!
This poem is Liu Zongyuan's work, called "Jiang Xue", left by the ancestors, could it be that the Liu family is actually Liu Zongyuan's lineage?
Seeing Tang Ao's surprised expression, Old Man Liu had already guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Liu Zongyuan is the ancestor of the Liu family, this is the real thing." ”
Tang Ao looked around the study, and said in his heart that this study looks simple, but I am afraid that it is also a hidden murderous intention, otherwise, it is impossible for Old Man Liu to simply hang the true works of the ancestors on the wall.
On another wall, there is another word, which reads: Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, thousands of paths and people disappear, lonely boats, fishing alone in the cold river and snow.
I'm afraid it's also genuine.
Old man Liu said: "The bloodline of the Liu family is very widely distributed, and everyone in the world knows that Liu Zongyuan is from the famous Liu family in Hedong, but they don't know that the Liu family in Hedong is just a branch of the Liu family in Nanyue. ”
Liu Zongyuan, as one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, is famous all over the world, and when Old Man Liu talked about him, his face inadvertently showed pride.
Tang Ao looked at Old Man Liu quietly, he knew that Old Man Liu brought him to the study alone, and there must be something important to discuss.
Old Man Liu said: "Long before Liu Zongyuan became famous, the Liu family's mansion already existed. It took generations of hard work to get to where we are today. ”
The Liu family dominates one side, and it can be said that it is calling for wind and rain in Shennan City, and it is very powerful, and Tang Ao also knows it.
"Looking for Tang Shao today, I really have something important to ask for!"
As he spoke, Old Man Liu stood up and bowed deeply to Tang Ao.
Tang Ao hurriedly held Old Man Liu up: "The old man has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help." ”
Old Man Liu's strength, of course, was not as strong as Tang Ao, and when he was helped by Tang Ao, this ceremony couldn't go on, so he had to sit back on the chair.
Tang Ao found out that the chair was actually made of golden silk nanmu.
Golden silk nanmu is more expensive than gold, and one gram of gold can not buy one gram of golden silk nanmu, which can be seen in the wealth of the Liu family.
"In that case, I'll be straight to the point." Although he has entered the modern society, Mr. Liu is over eighty years old, and he is also a person who has experienced the old society, and he inevitably speaks with a bit of the old speaking style.
"I want to entrust Bing'er to Tang Shao."
Bing'er, naturally, is Liu Bing.
Tang Ao was taken aback, for some reason, what is the concept?
"Although the Liu family is rich and rivals the country, after so many years, I can figure it out." Old Man Liu sighed: "I'm already old, and you know that when you are old, you think about more than just wealth. ”
In the world of fame and fortune, what else can there be besides wealth?
Tang Ao didn't speak, but he had already vaguely guessed what Old Man Liu meant.
"Life is a lifetime, grass and trees are autumn, no matter how much wealth you have, you can't bring it in life, and you don't bring it in death." Old Man Liu said: "I have no pursuit of wealth for a long time, but there are many disciples in the Liu family, and I can't ignore it." ”
Tang Ao drank tea quietly and didn't answer.
"Before, the master once predicted that Bing'er would not be twenty years old, unless a woman born on the same day and day of the same year would form a lotus life with her, and she would be able to survive this catastrophe." Old man Liu said.
Zhou Ziling meets the conditions for saving Liu Bing, but whether she is willing to save it or not is not for Tang Ao to have the final say.
Tang Ao just wanted to speak, but Old Man Liu waved his hand and didn't let him speak, but continued by himself: "I know that you and Miss Zhou are both immortal cultivators. ”
Tang Ao didn't hide it, he nodded silently, the Liu family was fighting, and the cultivation he showed was not in the realm of mortals.
"I want Bing'er to follow you, you can take her to cultivate immortals, is it okay? The old man begs you cheekily. Old Man Liu said, and remembered to salute again, but he was held down by Tang Ao.
"The old man doesn't have to be polite." Tang Ao said.
"I have also worshiped more than a dozen cultivators before, and I know some things about immortal cultivators." Old man Liu said.
It was a so-called cultivator, who ran faster than a rabbit when the Liu family was in trouble, if it wasn't for Tang Ao to appear in time, the Liu family would be finished.
"Those who cultivate the truth, when they cultivate to a high level, can live with heaven and earth." Old Man Liu said: "I'm already eighty-three, and now it's too late to cultivate, so I hope you can bring Bing'er." The Liu family is willing to give half of the family property to each other, hoping that Tang Shao will have mercy. ”
Old Man Liu's words made Tang Ao quite embarrassed, after all, he himself was half a bucket of water, and in the later stage of the heartbeat, in front of the real immortal cultivation master, he didn't even count with Mao, what qualifications did he have to lead people? What's more, when Old Man Liu said this, if he accepted it, it seemed that he agreed to come down because he was greedy for the Liu family's money.
Old Man Liu took out a land deed and handed it to Tang Ao: "This is the land deed of the Liu family's mansion that the four major families snatched at the beginning." ”
The title deed is antique, not modern.
Tang Ao suddenly thought of the real estate certificate, could it be that such an ancient title deed is still useful now?
When he took over the title deed, Tang Ao was even more surprised that there was actually a wisp of fairy energy, looming in the title deed.
This wisp of immortal qi is imperceptible to ordinary people, but in the hands of immortal cultivators, there is an immediate sense.
Tang Ao looked at the title deed, the words on it were ancient seals, and Tang Ao didn't know it, but he felt that this title deed should be unusual. At the beginning, the four major families came to grab this land deed, but I am afraid that it was also guided by immortal cultivators.
Tang Ao returned the title deed to Old Man Liu and said, "The things of the Liu family, please keep them properly." ”
Old Man Liu didn't answer, waved his hand and said: "This title deed is also the property of the ancestors, and it is impossible to verify whether it comes from that generation." I've always found this title deed unusual, so I'm giving it to you in the hope that you can find out the secrets. As for the current Liujia compound, there are already various real estate certificates. ”
Tang Ao hesitated for a moment, and then accepted the title deed, after all, this title deed carried the aura of cultivating immortals, and he was also very curious, not to mention that this kind of thing was left in the hands of mortals, but he was afraid that it would also be guilty of causing trouble to the Liu family.
"Liu Bing's matter, let me think about it." Tang Ao accepted the land deed, his mouth softened, and he was embarrassed to refuse Old Man Liu at once.
Old Man Liu said: "I know, people who cultivate immortals, the years are long, and the wife in the first room is inevitably lonely, so why don't you let Bing'er be your second room, okay?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Tang Ao was suddenly embarrassed. The first room has not been solved, and now there is a second room! He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Liu Bingtian is fragrant and beautiful, smart and brilliant, and will come from fate, I already have Zhou Ziling." ”
Old Man Liu said: "Since you also think that Bing'er is beautiful and smart, why do you want to refuse?" Do you want her to fall into someone else's arms? The etiquette of our laymen is indeed monogamous, but for you who cultivate immortals, it is unhindered. What's more, at the beginning, the master once said that Bing'er had to work with the God Exterminator Spear Master to get through the catastrophe, according to the current situation, you are the best candidate, I just hope that you can take care of the Liu family more in the future! ”
Old Man Liu said everything about this, and Tang Ao didn't know how to answer, so he hesitated a little.
Old man Liu said again: "The Liu family was in great trouble before, with the help of masters, and after fifteen years, with your help, I have been thinking deeply in the past few days, this master has come up with a very ridiculous guess." ”
Tang Ao asked, "What ridiculous speculation?" ”
Old Man Liu said: "At the beginning, I am afraid that it was Liu Zongyuan himself!" ”
Old Man Liu's guess was indeed a bit absurd, and even Tang Ao was stunned.
"I'm thinking, since people who cultivate immortals can live with heaven and earth, then, Liu Zongyuan, who was also the director of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, may also be a person who cultivates immortals."
If Liu Zongyuan is also an immortal cultivator, then it is not surprising that he has lived until now!
But Tang Ao soon remembered one more thing!
A very important thing!
He shook his head and said to Old Man Liu: "Even if Liu Zongyuan is a person who cultivates immortals, the person who came to your house that day is definitely not him!" ”
Old Man Liu said curiously: "How can you see it? ”
Tang Ao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Since you also know some things in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, then I'll tell you, I hope you keep it a secret." ”
Old Man Liu nodded and said, "Definitely!" ”
Tang Ao said: "The earth is a very strange place, but if a person who cultivates immortals is more than five hundred years old, he will leave the earth and enter a strange place. As for the specific situation of that place, no one has returned, so there is no way to know for the time being. ”
Old Man Liu was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there anything else going on?" ”
Tang Ao said: "This matter is not a secret in the cultivation realm. ”
"What if you don't go?"
"I can't help but go, when the time comes, there will be strength to attract, and if you resist, die."
Liu Zongyuan lived in the Tang Dynasty, nearly two thousand years ago, even if he was an immortal cultivator, he was afraid that he had now entered the mysterious passage, and it was impossible to come to the Liu family again.
Old Man Liu was stunned for a while before he said, "Then, Bing'er will go with you then, and I hope Tang Shao will not refuse." ”
Tang Ao had an idea, and suddenly thought of Zhou Ziling, so he said: "This matter, I'm afraid that Zhou Ziling has to nod." ”
When Old Man Liu heard Tang Ao say this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's go and ask Miss Zhou's opinion, how about it?" ”
Tang Ao agreed without thinking about it.
With Zhou Ziling's character, how could he agree to Tang Ao to accept one door and two rooms? She hasn't even passed through the door yet!
