The Liujia compound is actually not a compound, but a mountain villa built against the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, a majestic archway, written on the four words "Liujia Courtyard", vigorous and powerful, heroic, awe-inspiring.

The driver sent Tang Ao and Zhou Ziling to the archway and turned around and left.

From the archway to the mountain, there is still a long distance, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are rows of villas, the people who live are obviously the people of the Liu family, the whole villa covers a wide area, beyond Tang Ao's expectations.

"I didn't expect the Liu family to be so deep." Tang sighed arrogantly.

"The Liu family is the largest family in Shennan City, and even the president of Mingda Country is the son-in-law of the Liu family." Zhou Ziling obviously knows more about the Liu family than Tang Ao: "It is not because he became president that the Liu family married his daughter to him, but because he married the daughter of the Liu family, he ascended to the position of president." ”

The power of the Liu family is second to none in Shennan City, and the business involves most industries, from medicinal materials to jewelry, from supermarkets to amusement parks. Moreover, many bigwigs in Shennan City are also children of the Liu family, and their relationships are intricate and deep-rooted.

Tang Ao listened to Zhou Ziling's introduction, and was secretly surprised in his heart, and while speaking, the two of them had already walked under the archway of the Liu family's compound. Looking up, Tang Ao felt that these four words had a long ancient rhyme and extraordinary momentum.

Under the archway, an elder stood with his hands down, and when he saw Tang Ao and Zhou Ziling, he immediately greeted him: "I am Mr. Liu, welcome Tang Shao to the Liu family compound." ”

Mr. Liu looks like he is in his fifties, his sideburns have turned gray, but his mental state is very good, and he speaks very politely, and he looks like a capable person. The Liu family actually sent the chief manager to make a special trip to greet Tang Ao at the foot of the mountain, which shows that they also attach great importance to him.

After Tang Ao shook hands with Manager Liu and said a few polite words, he and Zhou Ziling followed Manager Liu all the way to the mountain. The entire Liujia Manor is built on the mountain, during which the path is intricate, and the plants and rockery on the side of the road are fused together, which actually implies the image of gossip, and Tang Ao is secretly frightened.

"Actually, the Liu family has another road up the mountain, which is convenient for the children of the Liu family to enter and exit, and I am good at advocating leading Tang Shao to take this part of the road, but also to let Tang Shao know more about the Liu family, and I hope Tang Shao will not be strange." Mr. Liu still spoke so politely.

"Along the way, the scenery is unique, and the various designs are ingenious, which is really admirable." Under the influence of Mr. Liu, Tang Ao's speech has also become crepe, not at all like a person in modern urban life.

As they spoke, several people had already walked to a delicate small building.

The small building is very chic, in the middle of a bamboo forest on the top of the mountain, even the small building itself is also built of bamboo.

Tang Ao secretly noticed that there were at least eighteen or more hidden piles around the small building, protecting the safety of the bamboo forest. On the surface, it seems to be quiet, but in fact, the precautions are quite strict.

Steward Liu walked to the front of the bamboo building and tapped a few times on the door knocker before pushing the door with Tang Ao and Zhou Ziling.

The furnishings in the bamboo building are simple and vulgar, there is a tea table in the center, Liu Bing is making tea, and there is an old man sitting next to her, with a white beard and white eyebrows, a serious expression, not angry but mighty, looking at Tang Ao and Zhou Ziling.

"This is my grandfather." Liu Bing glanced at Tang Ao lightly, then turned his head to the white-bearded old man and said, "Grandpa, he is Tang Ao." ”

"Hello Grandpa Liu." Tang Ao gave a salute.

Grandpa Liu nodded, and his eyes turned to Zhou Ziling, who also hurriedly gave a salute and said, "Hello Grandpa Liu." ”

"Sit." Old Man Liu pointed to the two positions in front of the tea table.

Tang Ao and Zhou Ziling sat down at the tea table, and Liu Bing served them tea: "This is the best Longjing before the rain." ”

This tea is fragrant and fragrant, the color is tender and green, Tang Ao tastes it carefully, and the taste is really sweet, and the fragrance is left between the teeth.

Tang Ao came here today, in fact, he was curious about what Liu Bing said about saving a life with a kiss. But with Elder Liu Bing here, Tang Ao didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Tang Shao must have doubts in his heart." Grandpa Liu had obviously seen Tang Ao's embarrassment.

Tang Ao nodded and said, "I hope Grandpa Liu will solve his doubts." ”

Grandpa Liu took a sip of tea, glanced at Liu Bing lovingly, and then said, "This matter has to start fifteen years ago." ”

"Fifteen years ago?" Fifteen years ago, Tang Ao was only four years old.

Grandpa Liu nodded and said: "The Liu family has a long history, since the Tang Dynasty, it has been settled and developed here, and it has developed over the past dynasties, so it has some heritage, but after entering the modern economy and society, the Liu family did not keep up with the rhythm at the beginning, and gradually became a second-rate family. Fifteen years ago, the four major families in Shennan City were Zhao, Zhang, Zhou, and Meng, and our Liu family only survived in the cracks of these four families. ”

Tang Ao couldn't help but have respect for Old Man Liu, in just fifteen years, it was not easy to make a second-rate family develop into the largest family in Shennan City.

"At that time, the Zhao family, the most powerful of the four major families, took a fancy to this place and wanted us to let it out." Old Man Liu's tone was already full of anger: "At that time, the Zhao family was powerful, and all the people who had something to do with our Liu family were suppressed by the Zhao family in various ways, and all the industries under the Liu family were all visited by various departments to find fault, and we almost couldn't even keep this ancestral land." ”

Tang Ao listened quietly, he knew that this story was definitely not simple.

"Just when we were in the most difficult time, a master suddenly came to the Liu family, saying that he had a great relationship with my Liu family and could help my Liu family develop and grow." Grandpa Liu took a sip of tea and continued: "At first, everyone didn't think so, but it happened that the Zhao family brought people to the door to threaten them, and the people they brought were extremely high. ”

Every big family has masters, especially those with strong backgrounds, and most of them have the exercises that have been secretly passed down from their ancestors. Since Old Man Liu said that the second master is the person with the deepest skills in the Liu family, he is not a weak hand, but he was injured by the Zhao family's people, and the Zhao family's strength can be seen.

Tang Ao thought in his heart, he didn't speak, just listened quietly, and occasionally took a sip of tea.

"At that time, the people of the Zhao family were extremely arrogant, and the Liu family was limited to give up the Liu family compound within three days, otherwise all our forces would be uprooted and driven out of Shennan City." Old Man Liu's eyes were bright, and his eyes were full of hatred, which showed that he must have suffered a lot of losses from the Zhao family at that time: "As the head of the Liu family, I naturally plan to break the net and fight with them, and all the children of the Liu family have withdrawn to the Liu family's compound and are ready to fight to the death." At this moment, the uninvited master made a move. ”

Tang Ao couldn't help but say: "He must be very powerful, and he can kill the people of the Zhao family in seconds with one move?" ”

Old Man Liu shook his head and said, "He didn't make a move at all." ”

Zhou Ziling couldn't help but ask: "Didn't make a move?" ”

Old Man Liu nodded and said: "He doesn't know where to recruit a flying sword, he stepped on the flying sword, stood in the air, and limited the people of the Zhao family to withdraw from Shennan City within three days, otherwise, the chickens and dogs will not stay." ”

At this moment, Tang Ao understood that this master must be a person who cultivates immortals, and at least a strong person above the out-of-body stage.

At that time, everyone was stunned, although the Zhao family has many masters, they are all worldly martial arts, even if there are people who practice internal skills, they are only a little stronger than ordinary people, and the flying of the sword has exceeded the understanding of ordinary people. So, the Zhao family apologized and paid compensation on the spot, and withdrew from Shennan City overnight. Old Man Liu said: "It was only at that time that we knew that there were really immortal cultivators in the world. ”

Tang Ao faintly felt in his heart that he was afraid that Old Man Liu would already know about his cultivation of immortals.

"And then?" Zhou Ziling couldn't help but be curious.

"That Gao lived in the Liu family for half a month, and within half a month, all the secular family forces in Shennan City were subdued by the Liu family." Old Man Liu's face was ashamed: "My family master, in fact, has not contributed at all." ”

"Grandpa, don't say that." Liu Bing said: "Over the years, it was my grandfather's business plan that gave the Liu family its status today. ”

"If there were no masters, the Liu family would have long since ceased to exist, so how can we talk about business planning." Old Man Liu sighed, and the vicissitudes on his face became heavier.

Liu Bing said, "Grandpa, let's talk about it next." ”

Old Man Liu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Girl, you can say it." ”

Liu Bing said: "When the master left, I was only three years old. ”

Zhou Ziling interjected: "How old are you?" ”

Liu Bing glanced at Zhou Ziling and said disdainfully: "It must be older than you." ”

Zhou Ziling said: "I still don't believe it! Fifteen years ago, you were three years old, I was three years old, I was born in January, you have to call me sister every minute! ”

Tang Ao glanced at Zhou Ziling in surprise and said, "Don't interrupt, listen carefully." ”

"I'm January 1st." When Liu Bing spoke, his eyes inadvertently swept over Zhou Ziling's upper body, and there seemed to be disdain in his eyes, "I really don't believe that you can be older than me." ”

"I don't know who is bigger than whom!" Zhou Ziling straightened her chest with an unconvinced expression: "I am also on the first of January, and I was born when I was a child." ”

The child hour is the first hour of the day, and the first day of January is also the first hour of the year, no wonder Zhou Ziling is confident.

As soon as Zhou Ziling said this, Liu Bing and Old Man Liu were all surprised, and after glancing at each other, Old Man Liu sighed: "It seems that what the master said is true!" ”

Liu Bing looked at Zhou Ziling and said slowly: "I am also a child." ”

As soon as Liu Bing's words came out, Tang Ao and Zhou Ziling were taken aback!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziling and Liu Bing were born at the same time in the same month and year! Is there any connection?

"Before leaving, the master calculated that the Liu family would have a great disaster in fifteen years, and I would not live to be twenty years old." Liu Bing looked at Tang Ao with an indifferent face, and asked seriously, "Do you believe it or not?" ”

Tang Ao had no choice but to nod, since it was calculated by a master, he had no way not to believe it.

"At that time, I panicked and begged the master to teach me how to crack it." Old Man Liu said: "Under my bitter pleading, the master reluctantly agreed. ”

At this time, Tang Ao had already guessed that the method of cracking left by the master must be related to him.
