This meal was very long for me, but Ling Ran was much more relaxed, and the strange thing was that he really didn't say a word about anything related to Ye Jiuqing, Tian Ji didn't have the heart or lungs to eat, and I found that the palace lord next to him had been silent.

After eating, Ling Ran asked people to take Ye Zhiqiu back to the room to rest first.

"Uncle, I'd better sit with you for a while." Ye Zhiqiu probably saw that Ling Ran didn't mean to let us go, and was worried about what would happen.

"The little girl is exactly the same as your mother when she was young, where do you want to sit with me." Ling Ran was sophisticated, and he must have seen at a glance what Ye Zhiqiu was thinking. "Uncle has something to talk to them about, you go and rest first."

"Let's go first." I glanced at Ye Zhiqiu and said in an accentuated tone.

"Uncle, of course Zhiqiu listens to your words, but Zhiqiu's surname is Ye, Ye Jiuqing is no longer right, he is also my father, and he is still him." Ye Zhiqiu walked next to me, and the momentum on her body made me suddenly think of Ye Jiuqing, and she pointed at me and said to Ling Ran. "He is my brother, when I handed him over to you, he was still panting, if I can't see him tomorrow, or if he loses a hair on his body, our Ling family's thirteen lintels and eight and a half steps, you can watch tightly, I won't smash it, it will be together with the Ling family's house, I will light a fire."

Gong Jue and Tian Ji and I looked at Ye Zhiqiu dumbfounded, I was arrogant in front of Ling Ran, that was also because of Hua Xishuang's face, he didn't dare to do anything to us, but where would Ye Zhiqiu think so much, what she said was all true, and it was in front of her uncle.

She was exactly the same as when Ye Jiuqing was out of her hair, and she didn't stop and turned around and left after speaking, much more chic than me, Ling Ran, who stayed behind her, was dumbfounded, probably never thought that these words would come out of the mouth of her own niece.

She ...... She has a temperament that follows the shopkeeper, and sometimes her brain is hot, and she can't talk heartily. "I was overwhelmed and didn't know how to explain it." Don't take it to heart. ”

It took Ling Ran a long time to come back to her senses, she shook her head and sneered, her face was full of helpless expressions: "No, Zhiqiu has a temperament with her mother, when she was talking to me just now, I vaguely saw Ling Xi standing in front of me in a trance, and she was also protecting Ye Jiuqing in front of me like this back then." ”

"Then don't worry about her, she's straight, and she has no intentions." I hurriedly tried to get around the conversation.

"Zhiqiu is my niece, I can't hurt her, how can I worry about her, Ye Jiuqing is also talkative, Zhiqiu is not, she is very like Ling Xi, they are all the same, they do what they say." Ling Ran's gaze fell on me and said meaningfully. "Moreover, Zhiqiu is not as sophisticated as you, you are still thinking in front of you and have flowers to block for you, so you dare to have nothing to fear in front of me, but Zhiqiu is from the bottom of her heart, she really doesn't care about protecting you."

"I grew up playing a small piece, and I usually didn't find out how much she protected me, but I didn't expect it to be quite scary." I scratched my head and smiled wryly.

"Follow me." Ling Ran said to us with a solemn face.

We followed him, walked back along the bluestone road around the Yinxiang Zuiyue Tower, and the person leading the way in front stopped in front of a building facing north and south, and I can also see the subtlety of feng shui here at a glance with my shallow feng shui skills.

This floor borrows the topography, since the dragon into the head, ups and downs, the end of the knot, surrounded by water on three sides around the building and against the dynasty has feelings, the whole building overlooks like a lying silkworm, surrounded by green grass like mulberry leaves.

Ye Jiuqing said that the Gusu Ling family was full of praise is the feng shui secret technique passed down from generation to generation, until I saw this building, I realized the profundity of the Ling family, the feng shui blessed land is born from the creation of heaven and earth, but it is impossible to meet, and this is not a blessed place, but the Ling family is actually in an ordinary place, with the help of the terrain to turn decay into magic, with manpower to build a rare feng shui wonder in the world, the Ling family's feng shui secret art has completely reached the peak, and the use of ingenuity is beyond imagination.

The feng shui bureau here is called Lying Silkworm Chunxiao.

The spring silkworm spins silk endlessly, implying that the blessings of the descendants are endless, and the silkworm is not a rich and noble thing, which also alludes to the original intention of the ancestors of the Ling family to leave their ancestral teachings, only to let the Ling family pass on in peace and order, but do not want the Ling family to be rich and noble.

Presumably, the ancestors of the Ling family are also extremely wise people, the Ling family has the dragon vein in the world, not to mention whether there is such a thing or not, I don't believe it, it doesn't mean that others don't believe it, in fact, there are many people who believe in this, especially the emperors of all dynasties.

Although the Ling family is a civilian, they have the lifeblood of the world, if they don't restrain their humility, they will become the target of the public sooner or later, and I am afraid that it will lead to the disaster of killing and destroying the door.

I looked up and saw the plaque upstairs, with four dignified and simple characters on it.

Ling's Great Sect!

This is the ancestral hall of the Ling family, I don't know what Ling Ran brought us here for, follow Ling Ran in, in front of the ancestral hall is a relief stone carved railing, there is a pair of stone lions on the stone steps and railings, the railings are beautifully carved, and each has a different pattern.

Inside is the shrine of Nuoda, from top to bottom to worship the ancestors of the Ling family, there are stairs at both ends, you can climb to the second floor attic, I look up below, it is full of dazzling books and bright yellow brocade boxes, this kind of attic in the ancestral hall is used to treasure the edicts, edicts and other graces given by the emperors of the past dynasties.

Generally, it is a great honor to have a volume of the emperor's decree in the ancestral hall, but on the attic of the Ling family ancestral hall, the bright yellow of the brocade box is the color of the emperor, and what is contained in it is the decree, which fills the entire attic.

It is already a miracle that such a majestic ancestral hall can survive the catastrophe in ten years, not to mention that the Ling family's ancient mansion with thousands of weather has stood for a hundred years, I am really a little curious, what the people of the Ling family rely on to continue the scenery to this day.

Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked at the tablet at the top of the shrine, and I was curious to know who the ancestor of the Ling family was, but what I saw made me puzzled.

The inscription on the top tablet puzzled me.

Nine Heavens Xuannu Yuanjun Great Heavenly Venerable!

"How can the Ling family enshrine the tablet of the Nine Heavens Xuannu in the ancestral hall?" I asked, surprised.

"The Ling family has inherited feng shui mystics from generation to generation, and it is rumored that this technique evolved from the Dragon Horn Divine Chapter of the Yellow Emperor taught by the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and it is considered the ancestor of the occult arts, so the Ling family respects and worships the Nine Heavens Xuannu." Ling Ran said with a proud look on his back. "Therefore, the name of the first ancestor of the Ling family is Ling Xuan."

Only then did I see that under the tablet of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, the tablet engraved with the divine seat of the ancestor Ling Xuan, the ancestor of the Ling family turned out to be a woman, which shocked me again.

Ling Ran walked to the shrine and took out another tablet from the bottom row, looking at Ling Ran's strange behavior, we looked over curiously and found that Ling Xi's name was engraved on the tablet.

"Zhiqiu is back, seeing her is like seeing you when you were young, Zhiqiu is like you, growing up, and having a similar personality, sometimes I'm afraid to see her, and I can't tell whether you are still her in a trance." Ling Ran looked at the tablet in front of him and said in a melancholy voice. "She has the blood of our Ling family in her body, and with the blessing of her ancestors, she will be safe, and you can feel at ease when you know it."

For the sake of Ye Jiuqing, Ling Xi did not hesitate to violate the ancestral precepts and was expelled from the ancestral hall, and he was never allowed to step into the Ling family for half a step, but he didn't expect Ling Ran to secretly put Ling Xi's tablet in the ancestral hall, which shows that the two brothers and sisters have a lot of affection.

"Brother was pedantic and didn't know how to be flexible, he shouldn't have driven you out of home, my brother wanted it to be for your good, but I didn't know that it hurt you in the end, I have always regretted not being at the beginning, brother has been fulfilling his duties all his life, for the lintel of the Ling family, when you violated the ancestral teachings, I can't understand and accept, now I think about it, many things are involuntarily, this is the last time I came to talk to you, after today, I am no longer qualified to step into this ancestral hall."

We stared blankly at each other behind Ling Ran, everything he said to Ling Xi was heartfelt, but we couldn't understand the last sentence.

Ling Ran took a deep breath and hid Ling Xi's tablet back, took three sticks of incense and lit it, and knelt in front of the shrine with his legs bent respectfully, his voice like a bell.

"The Ling family is not filial to Ling Ran, kneeling down to worship the ancestors and ancestors, Ling Ran has taken over the Ling family, and he has not dared to slack off in the slightest, and has diligently begged for the glory of my Ling family's lintel, but Ling Ran is not talented, incorruptible, shameful, arrogant and uninhibited, violating the ancestral teachings, he knows that it is difficult to establish a ancestral hall, and today he kneels to the ancestors and the ancestors, Ling Ran will no longer be in charge of the Ling family from now on, and will abolish the clan status!"

"You?!" We were shocked when we heard this, Ling Ran actually wanted to expel himself from the Ling family.

"Now I am no longer a member of the Ling family, and what I do has nothing to do with the Ling family." Ling Ran got up with a frank face and no regrets. "But what Ling Ran has learned is the secret art of the Ling family, he doesn't dare to do anything wrong, now that the situation is forced, Ling Ran has no choice but to work with you, but Ling Ran has a word first, the first rule of the Ling family's ancestral training is not to rob the tomb, although Ling Ran is not a member of the Ling family now, but with the Ling family's mystic arts, you still have to follow the ancestral teachings, I only look at feng shui and nothing else, whether you can find a cemetery depends on your own creation."

"You...... Do you have something unspeakably hidden, the glory of the Ling family for generations, why bother with you abolishing the clan in vain, why don't you just visit a tomb, we can find it without the people of the Ling family. I looked at Ling Ran and said sincerely. The shopkeeper said that you are upright and bold, but he also said that you don't know how to be flexible and stubborn, and a eunuch tomb will make you give up so much? ”

"The affairs of the Ling family have nothing to do with you, if I don't know how to do this, I won't do it until now, and only now can I understand the hardships of my Ling Xi back then, some things ...... In spite of oneself. Ling Ran shook his head and dragged the lonely figure out slowly, at that moment he didn't look like an earth master who was high-spirited and controlled the lifeblood of the world, just a helpless old man.

Ling Ran walked to the door and suddenly turned to look at me, hesitated for a long time and smiled faintly with relief.

"Go back and help me tell Ye Jiuqing that there is no more Ling Ran in the Gusu Ling family, but there is still an old friend, the mountains and rivers are still there, if he wants to catch up with the past, that friend will definitely have a cup of tea and wait for good news."

Heroes cherish heroes, although the two of them have not interacted for many years, and even spoke ill of each other, Ling Ran was in charge of the Gusu Ling family before, carrying the ancestral teachings on his body, and Ye Jiuqing was not incompatible with good and evil.

Now that Ling Ran has unloaded his burden, there is no longer any bondage, the two of them are one good and one evil, but in their hearts, they are peach blossoms and pools of water, and they take care of each other, and they know that they are difficult to find, Ling Ran and Ye Jiuqing have never let go of each other as friends in their hearts.

"The shopkeeper has a long relationship, and the invitation of the deceased will not regret the contract, I don't know where he will go to meet this friend." I looked at Ling Ran's upright and powerful back, smiled and asked loudly.

Ling Ran's footsteps did not stop, his back was far away, and the sound of freedom and ease came under the moonlight.

"Fengqiao looks west to Bishanwei, and the temple hides the cold river."
