The Long's mansion covers an area of more than ten acres, the building is very exquisite, the hierarchy is strict, and the rules are cumbersome, for example, the main courtyard where the head of the family is located is located in the middle of the mansion, and the deepest position of the mansion is a large hall, which is actually imitated in the style of the palace - no one thought that there is such a palace in the Long's mansion, which is five zhang deep and nine zhang wide, which is as large as the area of the Imperial Palace! Only two zhang in height, but also in order to let the people outside the wall not see that there is such a building in violation of the system.

At this time, the hall was empty, just hung with various colored silk curtains, through the heavy silk curtains, in the deepest part of the hall there was only one futon, a tall middle-aged man sat cross-legged on it, his eyes closed, his face resolute.

If the old dart head Luo Yixiao has entered the twilight of martial arts, then this person is at the peak of martial arts, every inch of his body is full of almost suffocating oppressive feelings, and the whole person is just sitting here, like a mountain, a ridge.

The man is the head of the Long family, Long Yuyun, who went to Zhongzhou Jing Zen Buddhism before he was ten years old, worshiped under the door of the first seat of the Luohan Hall, and studied martial arts. After completing his studies, he returned to the family and replaced his father as the head of the Long family, supporting the Long family with one hand. He was unknown in his youth, and it was only in recent years that he became famous, because after staying on the top of the Innate Realm for several years, he finally took that crucial step and touched the threshold of the True Realm. In this way, even in Jing Zen Buddhism, it can be regarded as having a place, and it has the qualification of "establishing a faction" in the rivers and lakes, which is different from the innate realm masters of the running single gang.

There is also an old man with a sad face sitting beside him, the old man is the chief steward who has just returned to the Long Mansion from the Wancheng Dart Bureau, he has served three generations of family heads, he is highly respected and trusted, when Long Yuyun can't go out of retreat, he is a well-deserved Long family's talker, but this time the matter is too big, and it is no longer for him to call the shots, so he came to disturb the head of the family to report this matter, you must know that Long Yuyun hates others the most when he is in retreat, that is, this chief steward, replaced by others, has already been slapped to death by a palm.

After listening to the old man's narration, Long Yuyun said expressionlessly: "Killing more than a dozen lives of my Wancheng Dart Bureau and leaving nine handprints on my mansion is somewhat similar to the Longmen Dart Bureau tragedy a few years ago. ”

The old man nodded and said, "That's right, if there is no accident, it should be the same group of people." ”

Long Yuyun asked, "According to Uncle Yu's opinion, what is the origin of these people?"

The old man groaned: "It's hard to say, I personally went to check the body, there is no scar on the whole body, and it is not poisoned, as a last resort, I can only dissect the body, only to find out the cause of death, it turns out that these people were killed by a palm, there are no scars on the outside, but a heart has been shaken into seven or eight petals by the power of a strong palm, it should be a 'broken heart palm' undoubtedly." It's just that this 'broken heart palm' is the kung fu of the scattered people in the rivers and lakes, and it is widely spread in the rivers and lakes, whether it is the right way or the evil way, there are people who practice, and it is difficult to trace the origin of this group of people. ”

Long Xiaoyun snorted lightly, "Last time it was the 'Big Handprint', and this time it was the 'Broken Heart Palm', which shows that this group of people is not an ordinary Jianghu scattered people." ”

The old man nodded and said, "What the head of the family said is extremely true. ”

Long Xiaoyun said softly: "Although I have been a man of great influence over the years, and there are not a few people who have offended, there is not a single one who can have this ability among those who have made mortal enemies. ”

The old man asked, "Is it a strong dragon crossing the river?"

Long Xiaoyun shook his head and said: "The strong dragon wants to suppress the head snake, either for fame or profit, there is no need for both of them to make these thankless means of pretending to be gods and ghosts, just come to the door directly." ”

The old man sighed: "The feud between the rivers and lakes may not be earth-shattering, it may also be silent, and it will not surface until decades later, which makes people unguardable, and even sometimes, they don't even know who the enemy is and why they are feuding." ”

Long Yuyun's face was calm, "The twelve sects of the righteous path, the ten sects of the evil path, at least the sect has been established for more than a thousand years, which one has not made countless enemies? But it is still standing, in the final analysis, it is not how the enemy is, but how he is, if his own ability is not good, and he is avenged and destroyed, then he can't complain about others." ”

The old steward did not speak, but let out a long sigh.

He has lived for such a long time, and he is used to seeing people and things in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't understand such a truth, but when the matter comes to his head, he can't see it, how can the Long's century-old foundation be wiped out in his own hands?

Long Yuyun asked, "Has Luo Lao Dart come back?" According to the itinerary, he should have come back this morning. ”

The old man who was called "Uncle Yu" by Long Xiaoyun smiled bitterly, the sadness on his face became heavier, and he shook his head and said: "Not only has Luo Lao Dart's head not returned yet, but even those darts who followed Luo Lao's dart head have not been heard from. ”

The dragon roaring cloud finally changed color slightly.

How Luo Yixiao's cultivation is, he knows it, he has been sealing the martial arts with him all the year round, his cultivation is profound, and there is no doubt about the innate realm, and the eight darts that follow him are also good hands, and they are good at combining attacks, if they also encounter accidents, then the strength of the people who come is a little terrifying.

The old man suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, Luo Zhen, the righteous son of Luo Lao's darthead, has also disappeared, I don't know if he was poisoned, or if he has turned back." ”

Long Xiaoyun was silent for a while, and said, "If something happens to Luo Lao's dart, then the inner ghost is probably this person!"

The old man was startled.

Long Xiaoyun continued: "Now it seems that people are prepared, but we are defenseless, and we don't even know who the enemy is. ”

The old man said bitterly, "Is there no way?"

Long Yuyun has practiced in Jing Zen Buddhism for many years, although he has not studied Buddhism and Zen theory deeply, but under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also knows a little bit about it, at this time he recited a Buddha verse, "The good dharma is illusory, and the creation of all bad karma is also illusory." The body is like a gathering foam, the heart is like the wind, and there is no root and no substance. ”

The old man's brow furrowed, and the wrinkles on his face were like ravines carved out by someone with an axe.

Long Xiaoyun slowly got up, came to the door of the palace, stood with his hands in his hands, and said: "Now the situation is that the enemy is strong and I am weak, the enemy is dark and I am clear, if we fight head-on, we are afraid that we are not opponents, for today's plan, we can only ask friends for help, among the rivers and lakes, help each other in times of trouble, that is also a common thing." ”

The old man still couldn't hide his worries and said, "Although we have a lot of deep friends, there are few who can cultivate higher than the head of the family. It's a little worse than the head of the house, and it's not very useful to invite it. Although the masters of Jing Zen Buddhism are like clouds, if they are willing to make a move, they will definitely be able to resolve the fear of danger, but now that Jing Zen Buddhism has closed the temple to thank guests, I am afraid that it is difficult to invite the monks in the temple to go down the mountain. ”

"Uncle Yu is right. Long Xiaoyun nodded and said, "But there are many people, so it's good to invite some friends to strengthen your momentum." ”

The old man said, "According to the opinion of the head of the family, who should be invited?"

Long Yuyun thought for a moment and said, "Let's act nearby, first invite friends from Jiangling Mansion, and then invite fellow martial artists from Jiangzhou, Luzhou, Chuzhou, Xiaozhou, and Wuzhou." ”

The old man frowned and said: "Such a matter is urgent, and the rivers and lakes have spread it, which has greatly ruined the reputation of our Long family and Wancheng Dart Bureau." ”

Long Xiaoyun waved his hand and said: "It has reached such a critical point, where can I take care of these future things, it is important to save my life first." ”

After the old man sighed helplessly, he got up and left the place, ready to arrange for manpower.

Long Xiaoyun stood alone at the gate of the temple, watching the figure of the old man gradually drift away, and looked up at the sky, there were already dark clouds overhead, and there was a sign of heavy rain.

Long Yuyun's already bad mood suddenly became even more discouraged.

In the twenty years he has been in charge of the Long family, how many winds, frosts, rains and snows have come, and today's upcoming wind and rain can still be covered by his own strength?

Long Roaring Cloud's heart was as dark and gloomy as the weather, and he couldn't see half of the daylight.

The rivers and lakes are turbulent, the wind and waves are strong, and under the storm, even the seemingly stable big ship will inevitably have the worry of capsizing.

Throughout the ancient and modern rivers and lakes, there are many people who have been wiped out.

If he can't save the Long family, or even save himself, who else can save the Long family?
