The family said that it is not uncommon in Jiangnan, all families with heads and faces and orderly inheritance for more than 100 years can call a family, but not every family dares to call themselves the door valve. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The so-called gate valve refers to the noble and prosperous family, the people in the clan have been officials for generations, the world is in a high position, and the protégés and former officials are all over the world, forming a family on the basis of a surname, and can overpower the court officials in the local state capital, so as to actually rule the state capital.

Looking at the Jiangnan in the past hundred years, there are only two surnames that can be called the gate valve, namely the Fu family that has been destroyed and the Xie family who are now in full swing.

If you look at the whole world in the past hundred years, the Xiao family, which has not yet become a royal family, and the five great families of the country can be called gate valves, and there are many big people from these gate valves in the major sects such as Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Sword Sect, and Xuanjiao.

After the first battle of Dingding, the Xiao family and the Xie family soared into the sky, the Fu family, the Zhang family, and the Gongsun family disappeared directly, and the Shangguan family, which was an ally of the Zhang family and the Gongsun family, also collapsed, but in any case, the tiger will not fall, and the Shangguan family, who is still breathing, can no longer be called the gate valve, but Shangguan Qinghong, who is the last generation of lords, still adheres to the pride and dignity of the year.

There was a saying in the cabinet during the reign of Dazheng Shenzong, there were three hatreds, and at the beginning of being an official, he failed to be promoted to the top three, and he was not allowed to marry a woman with five surnames, and he was not allowed to repair the history of the country. The five surnames in the second hatred refer to the five surnames of Ye, Zhang, Murong, Gongsun, and Shangguan.

At that time, the Shangguan lord was ranked among the five surnames, and he could compete in the world, and the head of the family could sit at the same table with Emperor Xiao.

Shangguan Jinhong, the lord of the year, even almost married a Shangguan woman to Emperor Xiao.

At that time, the Shangguan clan produced a Shangguan Xianchen who was rampant in the world.

The collapse of the family is not the fault of one person, for Shangguan Qinghong and Gongsun Zhongmou, perhaps the elder brothers Shangguan Jinhong and Gongsun Bofu, who died early, are more fortunate, because they don't have to see the family overthrow, nor do they have to be displaced, and they can still uphold the last dignity and dignity of the family.

Maybe it was because he was used to wearing short clothes, but Shangguan Qinghong, who suddenly changed back into brocade clothes, was still a little unaccustomed to it, slowly rolled up the wide sleeve of his right hand, revealing a wrist that was as old as withered tree bark, and slowly asked, "Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun?"

"It's this seat. The old Taoist said coldly: "Who are you?"

Shangguan Qinghong's clear eyes became deeper, and he said calmly: "Senior Shangguan Qinghong." ”

Taiyi Rescue Suffering Tianzun let out a faint sigh, and asked again: "Who is Shangguan Xianchen you?"

Shangguan Qinghong replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It is my uncle." ”

Taiyi rescued the suffering Tianzun and said: "It turned out to be Shangguan Xianchen's nephew, Shangguan Xianchen was the first in swordsmanship, the first in killing, the first in realm cultivation, and the great sword immortal who stood alone in the world, but at the end of the strong crossbow, he lost to Xiao Yu who came with the general trend, and he couldn't lose, I don't know how much you can do with Shangguan Xianchen?"

Shangguan Qinghong said: "Uncle is an immortal who has not been born for a thousand years, how dare I compete with Haoyue with the light of fireflies." ”

Taiyi Rescue Tianzun smiled, his laughter was obscure and harsh, and said: "I still have some self-knowledge, if Shangguan Xianchen is alive, this seat should retreat, and I don't dare to say more, but you are not Shangguan Xianchen, why are you in front of this seat?"

Shangguan Qinghong was disdainful of the disdain in Taiyi's words to save the suffering, and said lightly: "Uncle Jia was alone in the world back then, and there were two swords he held, one was called Qingping, and the other was called Zhuxian, and now Qingping has been returned to the hands of the Daomen, and only one sword is left in my Sword Sect. ”

Shangguan Qinghong paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It's just a sword." ”

――

Ronghuafang, Gongsun Mansion.

The small attic in the back house finally opened slowly after being silent for many days, and Xu Beiyou walked out of the attic with Xuan Ming in his hand and exhausted.

Then he saw Song Guanguan sitting on the steps in front of the door.

At this time, the sun is twilight, the sky is getting late, and the blood-red sunset drags the woman's back for a long time.

Hearing the movement behind him, Song Guanguan turned his head to look, and when he saw Xu Beiyou, he hurriedly got up and said, "Childe." ”

Xu Beiyou asked with a little surprise, "Why did you come back?"

Based on Xu Beiyou's understanding of Song Guanguan, she is not a rebellious person who will make her own opinions, and Song Guanguan, who should have cultivated under Shangguan Qinghong, suddenly came back, and there must be a reason for it.

Song Guanguan lowered his head, bit his lip and said, "Master asked me to come back, it seems that something big happened." ”

Xu Beiyou's face became solemn, and he said softly: "What the hell is going on?"

Song Guanguan hesitated for a moment and said: "The slave and maid are not very clear, but I heard from the master that someone from the Demon Suppression Hall came to provoke, and then the master went to the East Lake Courtyard to discuss with the Acting Sect Master, and when the master came back from the East Lake Courtyard, he asked me to go back to the son's side first, and ...... And ......"

Xu Beiyou did not rush to urge, but softened his tone and said softly: "Don't rush, speak slowly." ”

Song Guanguan carefully took out a three-inch-thick booklet from the small baggage he was carrying, and said softly: "Moreover, before leaving, Master handed over his lifelong cultivation experience to me, and also told me that if there are any cultivation difficulties in the future, I can go to the Acting Sect Master for advice." ”

Xu Beiyou said in a deep voice: "Uncle Shangguan is explaining the aftermath?"

Song Guanguan nodded silently.

Xu Beiyou held the Xuan Ming in his hand, stroked his forehead with one hand, and muttered to himself: "What is the big thing, it not only involves the Demon Suppression Palace, but also makes Shangguan Shibo go to the point of decisively dying, could it be that the Lord of the Demon Suppression Palace, Chenye, personally took action? But it shouldn't be, a big man like him will never take action in person until it is not very time, the last time he shot was because of the master, logically speaking, even if Chenye came to Jiangdu in person, as well as his wife and Aunt Qin, why let Shangguan Shibo come forward, could it be that the entire Demon Suppression Hall was dispatched?" ”

Xu Beiyou himself never thought that he would tell the truth of the whole matter in just two or three words.

A master and a servant stood in the sunset for a long time, Xu Beiyou took a deep breath after coming back to his senses, and said in a deep voice: "It is useless for you and me to speculate here, it is better to go to the East Lake Courtyard first, and wait until we meet my master and wife before making plans." ”

Song Guanguan nodded and said, "Everything is arranged by Gongzi." ”

The two left Gongsun Mansion together and went out of the city.

Song Guanguan saw the Xuanming Sword behind Xu Beiyou and asked, "Childe, have you set foot in the realm of human immortals?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "Now I can only preliminarily control Xuan Ming, and I am still a lot short of absorbing Xuan Ming's sword qi and divine intent." ”

Song Guanguan sighed, glanced at Xuan Ming deeply, and suddenly remembered the old master.

If the old master was still alive, the Sword Sect would never be as stormy as it is today, first there was civil strife in Chibing, and then it was the attack of the Demon Suppression Palace, and the Sword Sect, which had just been a little prosperous, was crumbling in a blink of an eye, and it seemed that as long as there was one more wave, it could be completely separated and collapsed.

I don't know when Childe will grow to the point of the old master, and he will be able to shelter a great sword sect behind him.

Compared with Song Guanguan, Xu Beiyou's worries were heavier.

Now that he is the young master of the Sword Sect, it can be said that the Sword Sect is closely related to him.

After the collapse of the Sword Sect, it was able to be rebuilt because of the old people such as Gongsun Zhongmou, Zhang Xueyao, and Shangguan Qinghong, as well as the belongings accumulated over thousands of years.

Today's Sword Sect no longer has the strong foundation it had at the beginning, and if it experiences another catastrophe, it may not be able to stand up again. And Xu Beiyou didn't think that Daomen would show mercy to his subordinates, and he really got to the point where the building was about to fall, and the Demon Suppression Palace, which was the murder knife in the hands of Daomen, said that he would come to a complete killing.

At that time, Xu Beiyou will not only be unable to fulfill his master's last wish, but I am afraid that even he will be unable to protect himself.

When Xu Beiyou and Song Guanguan went out of the city from the Shence Gate, they were stopped by a middle-aged woman just after they walked a short distance.

This person is also a familiar face, she has been following Zhang Xueyao for many years, commanding many maids, but at this time, she is very different from usual, dressed up as a sword, carrying a sword behind her, and said in a deep voice: "Young master, the princess has an order, please stay in Jiangdu City, don't go out of the city easily." ”
