Chapter 83: Luoyang Shen Family
Luoyang City is backed by the Yellow River, different from the romantic luxury of Yangzhou City, is a typical Central Plains city, the whole city reveals a majestic atmosphere.
Luoyang City is located in the east of Beijing, and it is only two days away from the carriage and horses, as the eastern capital of today's dynasty, it undertakes part of the political and commercial functions of Beijing, and its prosperity and liveliness are not under Beijing.
Shen Ao, the head of the Shen family, was pacing in the back garden of the Shen Mansion at this time, and he naturally knew the news of the reappearance of the Qilin Divine Wooden Car in the Kunlun Divine Temple, which was a matter of great concern to the top of his Shen family.
Yesterday, Shen Ao had already convened the three elders of the family to discuss this matter, and the four of them were the only ones who knew about the family's secrets, and they had always been proud of it, and they finally let them wait recently.
Calculating the time, the Qilin Shenmu car should have arrived near Luoyang.
Shen Ao's mood was both apprehensive and excited. The reason for the apprehension is that the Shen family tree has no contact with the Kunlun Temple within a thousand years, and it has been passed down from generation to generation by the ears of more than ten generations of family heads. He himself had never come into contact with the people of the Kunlun Temple, so he didn't know who he was from and what instructions he would have; I was excited to hear that the people of the temple were all powerful and omnipotent, and my family had not received the temple for more than a thousand years. This time, the cultivation bottleneck that has plagued me for many years can finally be improved.
"Sir, a guest is here." The old butler hurried to the back garden and shouted not far from Shen Ao.
The old housekeeper was over sixty years old, and he had never practiced martial arts, and he trotted all the way from the main gate of the Shen family compound to the garden at the back, almost killing him. But he didn't dare to slack off, because his master had already explained two days ago that there would be distinguished guests coming to the door these days, and the Shen Mansion was usually closed, and few people came to visit.
As soon as the old housekeeper's voice fell, Shen Ao had already disappeared from the back garden.
This strange scene shocked the old butler, who was a little breathless, hurriedly rubbed his old dizzy eyes, and his heartbeat, which had been calm, was much faster again. He grew up in the Shen family, who was born in a business family, and accompanied two heads of the family, Shen Ao was raised by him, he had never seen his master practice martial arts, and he really didn't expect this kind of elusive kung fu.
As soon as Shen Ao entered the living room of the Shen family, he saw a young man and a woman and an old man over sixty years old standing in the center of the hall.
Ah Gui took out a swarthy token from his bosom and handed it to Shen Ao, who had just entered the door, with a majestic and solemn expression, "Do you recognize what this is?" ”
The appearance of the Kunlun Shenmu Ling had been deeply imprinted in Shen Ao's memory as early as when he took over the position of head of the family thirty years ago, and I don't know how many times such a token had swirled in Shen Ao's mind.
Shen Ao respectfully took the Divine Wood Order in Ah Gui's hand, and started with a cold and piercing hand, which was no different from the Divine Wood Order model collected by the ancestors of the family secret room.
After carefully scrutinizing it, Shen Ao handed back the Shenmu Order to Ah Gui, and said respectfully, "May I ask who your lord is?" ”
Shen Ao could see that the old man was extremely respectful to the young men and women beside him, and he was a little unsure whether Ah Gui was the Holy Envoy Kunlun Nu.
Agui glanced at Shen Ao and said coldly: "I'm Kunlun Nu Agui." ”
Hearing what Ah Gui said, Shen Ao unconsciously glanced at the young man and woman in awe, his expression remained unchanged, but his heart was inexplicably frightened, even Ah Gui, who was a Kunlun slave, stood sideways beside that young man, and his identity was already about to be revealed.
Shen Ao, who had already bowed slightly and wanted to salute Ah Gui, stood up straight when he heard this, pretending not to know that he was silent, as the head of the outer gate family of the Kunlun Temple, Shen Ao was naturally not a simple person. He knew that Kunlun Nu Agui would have something to say.
Sure enough, Ah Gui just paused for a moment, and then said, "This is my Kunlun Divine Temple's new hall master Li Tiantu and the hall master's wife Yun Mengluo. ”
Shen Ao was shocked again and again, although he was not familiar with these two names, he was by no means unfamiliar. It turned out to be the two of them.
But at this time, Shen Ao couldn't care about the horror in his heart, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Shen Ao, the head of the Shen family of the outer gate family of the Kunlun Divine Temple, has seen the Li Hall Master, his wife, and Lord Kunlun Nu. ”
Li Tiantu, who used to worship the commander of the Praetorian Guard, has naturally become accustomed to this kind of battle.
Li Tiantu waved his hand and said with a smile: "The Shen family master doesn't need to be polite. ”
Of course, he could see that Shen Ao was confused about his and Yun Mengluo's identities, but since he was a person from the outer gate of the temple, Li Tiantu believed that Shen Ao should know what to say and what not to say.
Shen Ao, who was standing with his hands down, knew that the Shen family's opportunity had finally come. What the Kunlun Temple, which had been silent for thousands of years, would bring to the family, he was really looking forward to it.
Although the Kunlun Temple thousands of years ago has been hidden, it is also endless. Every other Jiazi time, the master of the Renhe Hall has to go to the major outer families to pass on the gong according to the custom, and this rule has started since the establishment of the Kunlun Temple and has lasted for more than 2,000 years.
But just a thousand years ago, the Kunlun Temple suddenly cut off contact with the outside world without any warning in advance, and no one knew what was going on inside the temple, and the matter of passing on the gong has been interrupted for thousands of years. So much so that the last dozen generations of family heads have stopped under the top ten masters. You must know that the Shen family has been a master of the Heavenly List a long time ago, and no matter how bad it is, it is also the best among the top ten masters of the Earth List.
Shen Ao tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Hall Master, for more than a thousand years, the ancestors of the Shen family have never forgotten the grace of the temple, nor have they forgotten that they are the people of the temple, everyone in the family firmly believes that the temple will eventually return, and today finally let us look forward to it." ”
The more Shen Ao spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but cry.
Luoyang is different from Yangzhou.
In Yangzhou, the Jiangnan Tiancheng Sect has never suppressed the development of other gang forces.
But in Luoyang, the power of the drizzle building is very great, and the nearby gangs of all sizes are suppressed to death, surviving like a remnant, everything depends on the face of the drizzle building.
"Now the court is stable, but chaos is gradually appearing in the rivers and lakes. My Kunlun Shrine entered the WTO this time precisely to clean up this dispute. Agui said in a deep voice.
The inheritance of the temple has been broken for thousands of years due to internal divisions, and it is a secret of the temple, and this kind of thing that damages the prestige of the temple Agui will naturally not mention it to the outer family. Ah Gui is about to settle this dispute in the rivers and lakes and let the world know that the temple that has been silent for thousands of years is still the martial arts hall that all saints worship.
At present, there are many powerful people in all sides of the rivers and lakes, and the Xuanji Gate, the first sect in the Central Plains that has not retreated, and General Ding, who has rarely encountered the power of the government and the opposition for a thousand years, have made everyone in the world daunting.
No force has ever dared to say that it wants to solve this dispute in the rivers and lakes, but Shen Ao heard such domineering words from Ah Gui's mouth today, and he didn't feel the waves rolling in his heart.
The temple is still the supreme Kunlun Temple, and there is no one.
"Over the past thousand years, everyone has worked hard. This time I came to Luoyang to pass on the merits. I see that your cultivation has been stuck in the bottleneck period, and this time the old man will stay in the Shen family for a few more days, and it will definitely make a breakthrough in your cultivation in a short period of time. ”
Ah Gui's words hit Shen Ao's vital point, which is also what his Shen family needs most at the moment, which is to improve his strength.
