Chapter 23: Visiting Relatives

Pan Long once went to his grandfather's house with his parents, and although he was less than ten years old at the time, as a time-traveler, he did not remember the events of his childhood like ordinary children.

On the contrary, for him, it was a trip seven or eight years ago. The time is not far away, and the impression is still very deep.

For example, he clearly remembered that his grandfather's family lived in a county town called Suishan County, but the place where his mother retreated and his ancestors lived in seclusion was in a small village on the high mountains more than ten miles outside the city.

This information was already relatively detailed, enough for him to visit his grandfather's house.

He went to the town to inquire, and sure enough, there is a Suishan County in the west of Yizhou, which is quite famous.

Not far to the west of Suishan County, there is the famous Suitao Mountain in the Qionglai Mountains. Legend has it that there is a peach tree planted by immortals on the mountain, and mortals can strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives after eating them. It is also said that there are immortal immortals on the mountain, who can fly to the sky and escape to the earth, enter and exit the green underworld, and live forever.

Since ancient times, there have often been people who go to Suitao Mountain to visit the immortals, and it is often said that some people have become immortals in it, but there are no more reliable examples.

Until the early years of the Great Xia, some immortals were defeated because of the argument with Emperor Jiazi, and they left the border of Kyushu in a fit of anger and lived in seclusion in the depths of Qionglai Mountain. The immortal was very domineering and drove out the qi refiners who originally lived on Qionglai Mountain. Some of the qi refiners were indignant, so they formed a sect with Qionglai as the name.

That is the origin of the world's famous "Qionglai faction".

The Qionglai faction is divided into several branches and is scattered throughout the Qionglai Mountains. There is one on Suitao Mountain, which is the famous "nosy" Ren family, the ancestor of the Ren family, the "white-eyed old man" Ren Changsheng is said to have been cultivating for two or three hundred years, and he is also one of the best people in the world, and it is even said that he is about to cultivate into an immortal.

Suishan County is not far from Suitao Mountain, which naturally attracts many people who want to learn art. In particular, the Ren family has always been chivalrous and righteous, and has a very high reputation among the people, and many people who have received their favors want to repay, and many people simply move to live near Suitao Mountain, and most of them also live in Suishan County.

In the small inn on the side of the road, Pan Long listened to the boss, nodded, and asked, "So, do you know how many people surnamed Ren are in Suishan County?"

The boss looked at him in surprise: "Guest officer, you are laughing, this place is still hundreds of miles away from Suishan County, how can I know the specific situation of Suishan County?"

Pan Long laughed dumbly, realizing that he had asked a stupid question.

In addition to the previous doubts, new doubts were added to his heart.

Or rather, the question he had been wondering about resurfaced.

Is my grandfather's family the "nosy" Ren family?

After careful analysis, it seems that my grandfather's family should really be very awesome.

Otherwise, why would they dare to slap their faces at an innate master

A few years ago, when I sent my mother back to her parents' house for retreat, my father had already cultivated to the innate realm!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smack his lips, feeling a little weird.

After a few years, he found that his family was still quasi-high society, and after a few years, he found that his family was hiding a big secret...... He didn't even know what to say.

If my grandfather's family is really the world-famous Ren family, then wouldn't he start with a Tianhu game, and he is directly comparable to the Roosevelt family, the Churchill family, and the like

"I originally thought it was a hot-blooded boy from an ordinary fishing village, but it turned out that it was the queen of a famous family; I originally thought it was a down-and-out little deflated three in the village, but it turned out that it was the son of the village chief, or the reincarnation of the prince of the previous dynasty...... It's a bit vulgar!"

Riding a horse, walking leisurely on the road, he laughed at himself.

Self-deprecation is self-deprecation, if the grandfather's family is really the Ren family, this is of course a good thing.

He won't take the initiative to find a backer by himself, but if he doesn't rely on a backer, isn't there a problem with his brain!

Probably because it was too close to the Ren family's territory, the road for hundreds of miles was quite peaceful, and there were neither robbers nor bandits, nor corrupt officials and bullies. Until he arrived in Suishan County, Pan Long didn't find a chance to make a profit for his newly made copper coins.

Judging from what they saw and heard along the way, the Ren family's deterrent power was really big enough. The inhabitants of the area were apparently doing well, and he had not seen any of the skinny poor people with such faces. Even the farmers in the fields in the countryside have ruddy faces and well-proportioned figures, and it can be seen that they can at least eat enough.

Sure enough, even in ancient times when productivity was relatively low, as long as there were no corrupt officials, corrupt officials, landlords and bullies, the common people could still get by. ”

Pan Long nodded again and again, and couldn't help but feel good about that Ren family.

Whether it is his grandfather or not, such a family, or such a group of people, is worthy of respect.

When he arrived in Suishan County, he vaguely remembered that his grandfather's house was in a big mansion in the west of the county seat, but after all, after several years, he was not very sure, so he asked a passer-by to ask.

"Ren family, are you talking about the Ren family?"

β€œ...... I'm not sure if it's not, but there are a few Ren families in this county."

"That's too much, my surname is Ren. ”

Pan Long smiled dumbly: "Ah, that's really disrespectful!"

"It's not disrespectful, I think it's quite face-saving to be able to have the same surname as that family, and I can raise my head and chest when I say it. The passer-by surnamed Ren smiled, "In this Suishan County, there are about four or five large families surnamed Ren. If you can't think of any more characteristics, you'll have to ask them one by one. ”

Pan Long recalled carefully for a while and remembered a detail: "His house is very big and the couplets are very long...... At least seven or eight years ago. ”

"How big is the door and how long is the couplet"

"I was a kid at the time......"

The passer-by surnamed Ren pondered for a moment and said, "Then you might as well go to the westernmost part of the county, which is only separated from the city wall by an alley." That is the world-famous Suishan Ren family, the door of his house is very large, and the couplets are very long. ”

β€œ...... And if there is any other house, I'm too embarrassed to disturb people. ”

"What's so embarrassing" The passer-by surnamed Ren was stunned for a moment, and then understood what he meant, "You are afraid of being regarded as a person who tends to be inflammatory"

Pan Long laughed dryly twice and acquiesced to this guess.

Passers-by laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and left.

Pan Long himself felt funny, hesitated for a while, and went to the westernmost part of the county.

As he walked, he gradually felt familiar with the path. Many memories that have long been blurred are slowly able to match the surrounding environment. When I got to the place where I could see the city gate, I saw a large mansion of considerable size. And the door of the mansion was exactly the same as he remembered.

The solid wood gate, which is more than one foot high, is pitch black. Two mahogany gold characters of the couplet hung on both sides of the gate, the upper couplet is "through the present and the ancient, the book is written, the scribe mentions the pen to settle the world", the lower couplet is "the evil promotes the good, the way to defend the evil, the martial artist draws the sword to protect the common people".

"It's a shame that this door is big enough, and if it's smaller, I'm afraid it's not enough to hang a couplet......" He couldn't help muttering in a low voice, and led the horse over, and just as he was about to knock, the door opened, and an old man with gray hair but good spirits looked at him.

"This is the house of the Ren family of the Qionglai faction, I don't know what my friends have to do."

The old man's eyes were bright, and he stood casually, but Pan Long felt that he was impeccable, no matter how he made a move, he would be subdued in an instant, and he could clearly feel that he had an extremely vigorous aura on his body, even above his grandfather.

This person is a congenital master!

(It's really worthy of being a famous family in the world!The gatekeepers are all congenital masters!It's just this person...... I seem to be a little familiar...... οΌ‰

Pan Long was amazed in his heart, and said politely: "My name is Pan Long, yes-"

Before he finished speaking, the old man's eyes widened and interrupted him: "Your name is Pan Long"

β€œ...... That's right. ”

The old man looked at him carefully and nodded again and again: "Sure enough!

Pan Long was a little embarrassed - there is no "neutral beauty" in this world, and men look like women, which is not a face-saving thing.

He asked himself that he was quite similar to his father, both of them were very manly, but the old porter obviously only cared about his own young lady, and did not care about his uncle.

"Count the age...... You're seventeen, aren't you?"

"You...... You remember me"

"Of course I remember! You were still a little bit last time you came, but you are both knowledgeable and reasonable, and you speak in a subtle way, which is more reliable than several young masters. ”

The old porter smiled and opened the door completely, and came out to take the reins from his hand and help him lead the horse.

"My surname is Chen, and my name is Chen Pingnan. Everyone calls me Uncle Chen, and you call me that. ”

The two entered the door, and Uncle Chen said as he walked: "You don't know, after you left that time, the old lady scolded several young masters. said, 'If it's not as good as the surname Pan, I will admit it, you bastard boys can't even compare to other people's sons, why don't you just take a rope and hang yourself!' If the eldest lady hadn't interceded with them, they would definitely have been escorted to the top of Suitao Mountain to practice hard for ten years......

Pan Long tried to recall, and remembered that he did seem to have an argument with young people in their teens and twenties.

But it turned out that it was all his uncle

It's just that time has passed, and he really can't remember what he was arguing about. I only remember that those uncles were sprayed enough by him...... At that time, the time he traveled through was not too long, and many debates on the Internet in his previous life were still remembered clearly, one by one, and I thought that my uncles must have been eager to dig a hole in the ground at that time.

"My mother has been in retreat for so many years, how is the situation?" he asked the question he was most concerned about first.

"The eldest lady is in good condition, and the entry is normal. "But you can't see outsiders in the retreat place, and even when you deliver food, you have to wear a mask to go in, so as not to interfere with her work." You're not here at a bad time, I'm afraid it will be another two years before you see her. ”

"It's good that everything is in order. The stone in Pan Long's heart fell to the ground and smiled heartily.

At this moment, a young man of twenty-six or seventeen walked out of a doorway not far away, and asked loudly: "Uncle Chen, who are you talking to, don't tell anyone about the eldest sisterβ€”β€”"

He saw Pan Long's face, was stunned for a moment, and then his white face turned red, and he turned around and left without saying a word, his steps were as fast as flying, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Pan Long looked at Uncle Chen suspiciously, but saw Uncle Chen with a smile on his face.

"That's the little young master Ah Jin, who was a self-proclaimed genius and wanted to challenge your father to learn Gezhi, but was asked by you to open his mouth, and finally yelled 'I'm not alive', locked himself in the study and read for three months, and his eyes read like tapirs. ”

Pan Long suddenly realized, and he couldn't help laughing.
