The interior decoration of Chu Mansion and Situ Mansion is completely different, if it is said that Situ Mansion is full of atmosphere, then every flower in Chu Mansion is extremely exquisite, and the wooden tables and chairs are carved and decorated all over the body, but they do not look messy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThere are also several famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the white wall of this hut, which is extremely rare among martial arts families, after all, there is no family that wants others to buckle a big hat of "vassal elegance".

But the Chu family put these famous calligraphy and paintings very eye-catching, although those calligraphy and paintings were simply framed and placed on the wall, but Wang Youjun's words and Yan Liben's paintings are still a little eye-catching, anyone who has practiced calligraphy and painting can enter this house, all of them will not be surprised by these calligraphy and paintings, and the idea of "fake" will also pop up in their minds.

The calligraphy and paintings are all genuine, no one knows this better than the current head of the Chu family, Chu Fanxuan, these calligraphy and paintings have been placed in the Chu family for nearly a hundred years, and they will be replaced every month, and there have been hundreds of calligraphy and paintings damaged by this in the past hundred years. Looking up at the only remaining authentic handiwork of Wang Youjun in the family, Chu Fanxuan, who knew its value, felt a pain in his heart.

After all, it is an unfortunate thing, if an object taken from a dead person's body reveals a trace of rumor to the outside world and spreads among the people, then the Chu family will have to be targeted by the government, and no matter if the adult takes office, he will not be able to save the life of the Chu family.

Although it shows that the Chu family runs a pawnshop and antique business in Jiangning City, almost all the famous people in Jiangning City know the real business of these "corpse pickers".

What if you steal rare treasures? Who would dare to buy them if they are priceless? Even if they buy them, who would dare to take them out? If you get rare treasures but can't show off them in the market, in the eyes of those noble people, they will be as uncomfortable as the night walk of the overlord of Chu.

The same is true for tomb robbers, if they steal those rare things such as yellow robes and jade seals, the Chu family will not dare to take them out of the tomb, if they get their hands dirty, they will be known in the future, it will be a big crime of the Zhu family, which official can keep the Chu family? Although the ancestors of the Chu family have long confessed, only take the things that can be taken off, but the descendants of the Chu family from generation to generation in order to let themselves know the treasures, are familiar with the scriptures and history, have seen countless picture scrolls, and naturally have a bit of talent in their hearts, and they can still get rid of those yellow robes and jade seals, it can be seen that these calligraphy and painting scrolls can not let go, but they can't let go of their hands, and in the end these things can't get rid of their hands, piled up in the treasury like a hill, when the fifth head of the family, Chu Lingpeng, was in charge, the treasury went on fire, so that thousands of paintings and calligraphy were destroyed together with some treasures. Chu Lingpeng also died of depression soon after, and left a secret training when he was dying: If the descendants of the Chu family get such treasures again, they should be placed in the hall as an ordinary place, and they should not be piled up all year round.

But even if there is secret training, these calligraphy and paintings are really not easy to see, after all, compared to those hosta rings, the calligraphy and painting on the inscription and red seal are too eye-catching, so they can only be placed in these places where outsiders are difficult to set foot, and everyone can also enjoy the secret affairs of the eyes for rest.

Looking at these calligraphy and paintings, Chu Fanxuan was a little fugue, and a loud shout came, and a few white lights flashed in front of the only remaining authentic handiwork of Wang Youjun in the family, and a good piece of writing was shattered when it landed, turning into shredded paper and floating in the air.

"What are you doing!"

Chu Fanxuan looked at the middle-aged man who put the knife back into its sheath and asked with a frown. This brother of his own, named Chu Cang, although he is also surnamed Chu, he is no longer a descendant of the Chu family at all, and his family should have been placed in Shangyuan County in the east. But his martial arts talent is extremely high, so he was led back to the master's house since he was a child, practicing martial arts, and is now ranked seventeenth in the Who's Friends, and is the number one master in Jiangning City, of course, before Situ Gu, who has not yet been ranked in the Who's Friends, arrived in Jiangning.

It stands to reason that a master who is not more than thirty-five years old and can rank in the top 20 of the Who's Who must be more old and serious than ordinary people, like Chu Cang, who draws a knife without saying a word, Chu Fanxuan really can't find half of his dignified appearance from him, as for the appearance of the child who rolls his eyes at himself, where is there a little old?

"That's it, that's it, Zici doesn't have to be with him in general, anyway, there are more than a dozen Zijing articles in the library, although they are not as rare as his father's masterpieces, but they are better than nothing, and I will let Ah Cang personally bring it to you in a while, and now it's better to discuss the big things first." ”

The third person in the hut saw that Chu Fanxuan and Chu Cang had a conflict again, so he had to stand up and be a "peacemaker", after all, he was the oldest here, Chu Cang was thirty-four years old, Chu Fanxuan was thirty-nine years old, and this old man with a bare forehead and jaw was a few years older than Li Yan, the former gang leader of the Cao Gang, and the seventy-one year old was only two years younger than Chu Cang and Chu Fanxuan combined, if it was three years ago, this old man would be one year older than Chu Cang and Chu Fanxiu.

In the Chu Mansion, in addition to the hundred-year-old turtle in the backyard, Chu Zhaojie is the oldest, he is the youngest son of the thirteenth head of the Chu family, according to the generation, he is Chu Fanxuan's uncle, and Chu Zhongcheng and Chu Cang's great-uncle.

Although he is older than Li Yan and his hair and beard are cleanly shaved, Chu Zhaojie's "Tiangang Vertical and Horizontal Gong" has not yet dispersed. In the rivers and lakes, women achieve success earlier than men, so their internal strength is often not as deep as that of men, and women's dispersal skills are also one or two decades faster than men. Usually the martial arts man is about thirty when he is successful, and the faster ones can succeed at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, and the less talented ones can also succeed at the age of forty as long as they study hard and practice hard.

In the end, although the power will not be lost, it must not be as deep as the peak, after all, the dantian has qi and is helpless against the aging of the meridians, and there is something wrong with the body, and only the panacea may be able to help, and it is just a joke to keep the youth forever in the rivers and lakes. But countless emperors and generals in history believed the jokes in the eyes of the Jianghu people, and wanted to prolong their lives with miraculous skills, but in the end they didn't live as long as ordinary people.

Li Shimin, the Taizong of the previous dynasty, was like this, he wanted to take advantage of the miracles of the West to live forever, but who knew that he had not waited for Monk Xuanzang to return from the Western Regions, but he had already gone to see the Jade Emperor Tianzun. In the end, it is said that Gaozong of the previous dynasty practiced this technique, but he died after not practicing for a long time, and finally caused a female disaster to disturb his Li family's rivers and mountains.

Practicing martial arts may be able to strengthen the body, but if you want to prolong your life? Practicing internal strength will only make the human body age faster, and if you hold back your strength and refuse to disperse, then it is not a joke that your meridians burst and die. It is not uncommon for people to be seventy years old and still be able to maintain their internal strength, but there are forty-five masters in the Who's Who in the rivers and lakes, and there is only Chu Zhaojie in the rivers and lakes today.

Therefore, Chu Zhaojie is not the "No. 1 master in Jiangning", but he is highly respected by Chu Fanxuan, and where are the old people of his father's and grandparents' generation in the Chu Mansion?

So Chu Fanxuan nodded, glanced at Chu Cang, who didn't care about this, and asked the two: "The informant just sent back the news, that Sikong Gu settled in the 'Yunji Inn', this inn is located between us and them, because the store is small and delicate, because we and they have not installed informants to station...... Now, are we going to 'scare the snakes'? or do we want to see what kind of storm that guy can stir up?"

This "they" refers to the Situ family, before Sikong Gu came to Jiangning, although the two families were not on the same page, there were also a lot of secret fights. But because the two families can't swallow each other in one bite, they are naturally based on cooperation, even if there are some small means, they are also implemented secretly, and the relationship between the two families is extremely harmonious on the surface, and most of the disputes encountered are resolved through negotiation. It is because Jiangning is like an iron bucket in the rivers and lakes, and neither the Jiangbei Shenmen forces nor the Jiangnan Alliance forces that have risen in Jiangnan in recent years can invade Jiangning from the outside.

Now Sikong Gu has "returned" to Jiangning as an orphan of Sikong's family, and a banner of "rejuvenation" is planted on the righteousness, which makes the two families a little confused.

"What did Junwen think? Why didn't he come today?"

Seeing that Chu Fanxuan didn't look at himself and speak, Chu Cang felt a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, so he didn't plan to take over Chu Fanxuan's words, after all, this question is not asked by Chu Fanxuan on weekdays.

Almost everyone in Jiangning City doesn't know that every major decision of the Chu family over the years is unbiased, not because of Chu Fanxuan's "wise decision", but because the white and chubby "rice bucket" put forward several sets of plans for Chu Fanxuan, each of which was chosen and implemented by the three of them. Chu Cang vaguely remembered the scene when the little fat man, who was only thirteen years old, crumpled the draft into a ball and threw it in front of him like waste paper, he pulled out his knife and shouted angrily.

Of course, after reading the draft, I was shocked.

"That Situ Gu is only twenty years old, but Chunwen is only seventeen years old! Although Chunwen may not have any talent in martial arts, but in terms of wisdom and knowledge, Sikong Gu, a little ghost who plays tricks and tricks, can he be extremely good at Chunwen?"

When he heard that Yangzhou Sikong Gu was going to come to Jiangning, Chu Cang didn't pay attention to it at all. Compared to the child in his family who is regarded as a demon by everyone, what kind of thing is Sikong Gu in his mind?

But when Chu Zhongcheng frowned and pondered, Chu Cang had a trace of panic in his heart, was this panic because of Sikong Gu? Or was it because of Chu Zhongcheng's attitude towards Sikong Gu?

When Chu Zhongcheng made it clear that he wanted to talk secretly with Chu Fanxuan alone, Chu Cang vaguely knew that that Sikong Gu was probably more difficult to deal with than Shenmen and Jiangnan Alliance in Chu Zhongcheng's eyes.

"Who is he?"

Chu Cang transferred the "top secret information" related to him, but he could only vaguely feel that there seemed to be his shadow behind all the events in Yangzhou. "Could it be that the kidnapping case was a trap he set for the Raising Knife Gate, but how did he do it?"

With this kind of thought, Chu Cang took the initiative for the first time to confide in this "clan brother" Chu Zhongcheng, who was more than ten years younger than him, although he was a peer, but he could only get a soft sigh from Chu Zhongcheng. Chu Cang knew very well that this was also an answer, but it was just ......

"Relax, this is Jiang Ning, and he can't stir up any turmoil for the time being. ”

Chu Cang's face must have been very ugly at that time, otherwise Chu Zhongcheng would not have comforted him like this.

Thinking of everything related to Sikong Gu, Chu Can's heart was anxious now, and Chu Fanxuan was not like this, but he could only shake his head and answer Chu Can:

"Ah Cheng hasn't come back yet. ”
