Although the Ling family's request was very rude, Wu Zheng still planned to meet them. After all, whether it was the extremely scribbled word "Lingyun" at the end of the "Lingxiao Nine Styles" exercise mantra in the pit under the ancestral tomb of Wu Jiabao, or the vaguely visible "Ling" in the jade diamond-shaped mark left by his mother in the small snakeskin bag on his chest, all made Wu Zheng feel puzzled.

As for luring himself to the Linglong Pagoda and wanting to plot against his own monks and beggars, because when they were in Tiefu, Tie Rulin and Liu Rushuang didn't say anything about it, Wu Zheng was not in a hurry to find out the origin of the three of them.

Now that I know that Wuyue Dao Chang is from Kongtong Mountain, and Monk Franciscan is from Wutai Mountain. And the old beggar who claimed to be called Huazi, looking at the expressions of Tie Rulin and Liu Rushuang at that time, should also be a famous figure in the martial arts. Therefore, as long as time passes, it should not be difficult to find out the forces or organizations behind them.

Wu Zheng, who has already opened up the Great Zhou Tian, does not need to lie down and sleep at night, firstly, in order to completely recover the injury on the left side of his lower back and left forearm, and secondly, he is anxious to increase the true qi in his body, so he adopts the way of cross-legged meditation, and constantly meditates in his mind about the Lingyun footwork after the perfection of the Tiandaomen, or the Qiankun Yin and Yang Step.

When I woke up at dawn, in the corner of the courtyard of the State Guest House, I used the wooden sword made of the gloomy wood of the Dragon Descending Wood that was given by Tie Rulin, and practiced the Ling Xiao Nine Style with Ling Yun's footwork for an hour before I began to wash.

Soon after breakfast, the Ling family came to the door.

The person who came was in his fifties, not to mention his rich appearance, and he also looked like a rich man when he dressed up. Regardless of his speech and demeanor, Wu Zheng did not see the slightest sign of his martial arts.

"Grass people, Ling Yun, the head of the Ling family, pays a visit to Lord Patrol. ”

He didn't make a big bow, he just bowed his hands.

Then he turned his head to look at Wu Zheng and said:

"Presumably this is Lord Wu Zheng and Wu, the grass people are polite. ”

Say goodbye and bow again.

"You don't need to be polite. Please sit down and talk. Look at the tea. ”

Wu Zheng didn't squeak, and his heart was already shocked by the name reported by the visitor.

Lingyun, it should just be a coincidence, right?

After Ling Yun sat down, he took the teacup brought by the servant, and neither put it down nor drank it. Instead, he stared at Wu Zheng intently for a long time.

"It's really the dragon and phoenix among people. ”

The sudden sentence made Ning Yunju and Wu Zheng feel a little inexplicable.

Didn't you come to investigate Wu Zheng for stealing Lingyun's footwork, but no matter the tone or expression, how could there be no intention of asking the teacher to ask for guilt.

"Ling Yuanwai has an overreputation. ”

Since the other party didn't mention it, Wu Zheng naturally wouldn't take the initiative to mention the matter of Lingyun's footwork.

"The eyes of the grass people can be said to have read countless people, and it is the first time I have seen Lord Wu look like this. ”

At this time, Ning Yunju interjected with a hehe.

"Oh, I forgot to tell Lord Wu. Ling Yuanwai is a well-known Mr. Yin and Yang in Jiangning Mansion. Whether it's feng shui or hexagrams. Including the art of Qingjian, there is no one who is unsurpassed. ”

The so-called Qingjian technique, to put it bluntly, is the physiognomy technique. Wu Zheng has always been skeptical about this.

"Looking at Lord Wu's appearance, the heavenly court is full and magnificent, and the earth pavilion is round and thick. Not to mention both the north and the south, especially the ears are higher than the eyes, the eyebrows are in the sideburns, the nose is straight and the mouth is square, and the back is pulled out of the chest. Bone Qingqi. Such a body is only known as the legendary immortal, and only those who do not eat the fireworks of the world can have it. It's really not a layman who dares to look up to him. ”

"Oh, what does Ling Yuanwai mean is that Lord Wu is suitable for cultivating immortals in the deep mountains?"

"Lord Patrol has misunderstood, the so-called great hidden in the court, rolling red dust is the real place suitable for cultivation. ”

Hearing this, Ning Yunju couldn't help but turn his head and look at Wu Zheng carefully. I thought to myself, my nephew's appearance does look a little different today. It always gives people a sense of ethereal feeling that although it is close in front of you, it is difficult to approach. Did you not notice it before or was it negligent? It can't be misled by Ling Yun's words, right?

Wu Zheng didn't take this seriously. On the contrary, he secretly guessed that this person was afraid that he wanted to fool around with good words first, so that the next conversation would be smoother. No matter how you say it, he is also a five-rank official of the imperial court, as an ordinary person, even if Lingyun's footwork did come from the original. In the "Sui Family Motto" of the Sui family in Xiangyang Town, which is in the same vein as the Ling family in Jiangning Mansion, he can't help himself.

"Originally, the grass people came today because of the family heirloom "Lingyun Footwork", but after meeting Lord Wu, the grass people didn't want to ask anymore. ”

Today, Ling Yun was a little inexplicable from the moment he entered the door, so when he finished saying this, Ning Yunju and Wu Zheng glanced at each other, and they both felt too sudden.

"Ling Yuanwai, since Lord Wu has come all the way over, you might as well confront this official in front of you. If Lord Wu's Lingyun footwork is really related to the Ling family's martial arts, presumably Lord Wu will not fail to tell him bluntly. ”

Seeing that Ling Yun turned his head to look at him when he heard this, Wu Zheng still didn't speak, he really wanted to hear how Ling Yun would speak next.

"The two adults, to be honest, the reason why they asked Lord Wu to explain the origin of the Lingyun footwork they learned was only because of the four sentences handed down from the clan. ”

Obviously, he noticed the dissatisfaction in Ning Yun's eyes, so Ling Yun hurriedly stood up and apologized.

"Don't be angry, please listen to the grass people. ”

After patiently listening to Ling Yun's lengthy narration, Wu Zheng understood what was going on.

It turned out that more than 130 years ago, that is, when the "six years of Jinfeng, the world was in chaos" mentioned in the "Sui Family Motto" in Xiangyang Town, the Ling family left only the eldest son Changzhi to live in Jiangning Mansion, that is, Jinling City, and the second room moved out of Jiangning Mansion and lived on his own. For example, moving to Xiangyang Town, Tongluo City, the great-ancestor of Sui Xing's grandfather, that is, Sui Jizu (the word Chengyi), the ancestor of the Sui surname in Xiangyang Town, is the second room of the Ling family in Jinling - Ling Bingqian (the word Wendao).

Due to the war and the fact that most of the people who moved out were incognito, they gradually lost contact with their ancestral homes.

It's just that before the head of the Ling family planned to move the second room and the following branches away, he asked God to help him, and got these four sentences: The ancestral home of Wu is near the river, and it coincides with the war and scattering, and the revival needs to wait for Lingyun Day, and the mountain side is fighting for safety.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Lord Patrol, the ancestor of the family has written a book, I don't know if Lord Patrol and Lord Wu have heard of it?"

"No wonder Ling Yuan is so superb in the art of yin and yang, he was originally from a famous family. ”

Indeed, Wu Zhishu is too famous, and he is almost a figure known to women and children. Not to mention Ning Yunju, even Wu Zheng has seen the story of this person from the classics.

Even today's popular knowledge of Kanyu and divination and divination are all based on the two books left by Wu Zhishu back then. One is "Feng Shui", and the other is "Yin and Yang Mathematics". Even many contemporary ninth-rate warlocks worship Wu Zhishu as their ancestor at home. (To be continued.) )
