Luoyang, between Lihe Luo, in the middle of the world, is Kyoto who does not know how many dynasties of Lu Dao, it is really the city of outstanding people, and the god capital of Zhong Ling Yuxiu.

From Jinling to Luoyang, in order to hide people's eyes and ears for possible accidents, Uncle Zhong took Xie Lingyun to honestly run for a few days by land before coming to Luoyang.

Entering the city, Xie Lingyun saw that Luoyang's prosperity was better than that of Jinling, walking on the wide bluestone streets, on both sides were rows of shops and buildings, including teahouses, taverns, and academies...... There are also all kinds of shops, such as those selling silk and satin, ingots and candles, and books and ritual utensils...... It's all there.

People come and go on the street, there are farmers and industrialists, there are Confucianism, Taoism and monks, three religions and nine streams, all kinds of colors, converge into a boiling and noisy movement.

"Driving, driving" Some people walked by on horses, some people drove ox carts, some monks sat on rare spirit beasts and walked slowly, some people stopped to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the banks of the flowers and trees, and some people were in a hurry, and soon disappeared into the sea of people.

"Contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom, Practicing the Profound Prajnaparamita ...... a long time", "The son says that he learns and learns it, doesn't he also say it?", "The god of grains is immortal, it is called Xuanqi." The gate of Xuanqi is the root of heaven and earth. If it exists, it is not used diligently. ”

The sound of chanting and reading is in the ears, this imperial city is shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, the temple is prosperous, almost every street can see the pious incense, and you can see the palace pavilion in the center of the city in the distance, the golden light is full of sky.

Of course, Xie Lingyun was not dumbfounded, but he could indeed see many things that he could not see in Jinling, such as guests from Tianzhu, Western Regions, Silla and Dongying, and the name of the divine capital was well deserved.

However, Uncle Zhong didn't mean to let him go shopping slowly, and went to Xie Mansion non-stop.

At the same time, Ah Man and Chun'er had already arrived in Luoyang one step earlier, found a suitable beautiful hill in the north of the city, anchored the fairy house, and prepared to see the excitement of the capital. Xie Lingyun had already said that they should not go to him until the situation was stable, but now they all knew that his so-called "hometown" was the Xie family of Chen County, and they all felt that something was wrong.

Xie Mansion is located in the east of Luoyang, leaning on a river and building, covering a huge area, a piece of houses, pavilions, pavilions, gardens and forests everywhere, can not see the end at a glance, it is both magnificent and elegant.

Just like the Chen Jun Xie family who lives here, there are not only great generals who are powerful in the world, but also great talents who are talented in ancient and modern times, and there are also immortal geniuses like Kang Le Gong Xie Xuan

The Xie family, who has the most powerful Beifu soldiers in the world, is full of military generals above the court, and there are countless magistrates from all over the country, named "Wang Xie", in fact, it is now the largest clan in the world, and the Son of Heaven has the greatest authority in the world.

There was a lot of traffic along the way, and far from Xie Mansion, Xie Lingyun felt a more solemn aura, if you taste it carefully, you will find that there is any breath in it.

Sure enough, nearly a hundred zhang away from the main gate of Xie Mansion, it was already impassable, and the two had to fall to the ground.

These people come from all over the world, from various clans and sects, and have a variety of identities, many of which are famous ministers and generals, or high-ranking monks. These awe-inspiring characters on their own territory, at this moment, are all serious and respectful, even respectful, without squinting, and dare not exclaim.

For what?

Because of Xie Daoyun, a talented woman like Xie Daoyun, who "did not rise because of the willow catkins because of the wind", and because of Xie Ming, a young talent like "Jingyu Songbird Collection, Shuimu Zhan Qinghua", the first young talent......

Because of Nankang Gong Xie Shi, because of Wang Cai Gong Xie Yan, because of Kang Le Gong Xie Xuan, and because of the crane a few years ago, Xie Taifu Xie An, who completely retired

Because this is the Xie Mansion

So although there was a crowd of people, there was no noise at all. Xie Lingyun naturally noticed that Uncle Zhong was also like this, and he was full of respect for the mansion in front of him, it was not just a mansion, it was a kind of ...... similar to the purpose of the sect Faith.

He also noticed that the people passing by didn't cast any special glances at Uncle Zhong, it seems that the old man is here, and he is also hiding his strength and identity, maybe even many Xie disciples don't know the truth.

Outside the high wall of Zhumen, a group of soldiers in fresh armor and angry armor are either patrolling or guarding, their eyes are like rocks reflected by the moonlight, the murderous aura is looming, and the cultivation is profound.

"Huh. Uncle Zhong happily walked up and talked a few words with the captain of the soldiers, the captain nodded, waved his hand to pass, Uncle Zhong thanked him, turned around and called Xie Lingyun, and walked to the door of the mansion.

When he was on the road, Xie Lingyun heard Uncle Zhong say what Kang Le Gong meant, he wanted to enter through the main gate, not the side door, just like when he was still a baby, he left Xie Mansion from the main gate.

But in the eyes of others, this is a bit strange, not everyone can step through the main gate and enter, you have to honor the guests to do it, this is the rules and etiquette, how many powers from all over the world can only go through the side door, but these two are who

The doorman, the servant, the slave and the passer-by all couldn't understand it, and some people knew Uncle Zhong, as if he was an old man chopping wood in the firewood house; And this young man in a Confucian shirt, no one really knows him, but looking at his handsome appearance, extraordinary temperament, bright eyes, and his life cultivation will definitely not be low, which makes people feel a little respectful.

"The son of a big clan from other places, right?", "I don't think he is more than twenty, but he seems to have reached the realm of the Dao fetus. "Could it be the nephew of Lord Xie?" ......

Everyone whispered and guessed who the young man was, but they didn't think about his true identity if they wanted to break their heads.

No one would think of a person who "died" for almost seventeen years.

Just as he was about to step over the long and tall mahogany threshold, Xie Lingyun suddenly froze, looking at the wide courtyard in front of him, and then at the hall with carved beams and paintings in front of him, his heart churned with an indescribable feeling, he couldn't remember the memory of being held and left here, even if it was a little bit, but his mind just couldn't set off this wave.

For him, "hometown" was so unfamiliar, so strange that he felt that he was a guest, and he suddenly missed Chaotian Palace and his master again.

"Ake......" Uncle Zhong called softly, a little anxious and a little encouraged.

And the people over there were even more surprised, what was this for? The guards were also puzzled to come up and ask what was going on.

"Okay" Xie Lingyun suddenly exhaled, his face was resolute, and he strode in, coming back, Xie Gongyi came back

However, there was no team from all over the house to welcome the returnee, and there was no family member who immediately jumped up and cried, and there was no one to greet him.

"Ake, come this way. Uncle Zhong led the front again, and led Xie Lingyun to the right side of the mansion, but he wanted to take him to the firewood house where he lived.

On the road, the old man said that Kang Le Gong is not in the capital now, he went to the Northern Regions a few days ago to inspect the enemy situation of the demon army, and he will not come back in a few days, so during this period of time, Xie Lingyun is still the nephew of his loyal uncle for the time being, and he came to the capital to play and see, and he did not live in the guest room and lived in the firewood room because he took good care of the old man; Before the official acquaintance, Xie Lingyun's parents were not allowed to see him......

Xie Lingyun didn't have any opinions, but just muttered that since this was the case, why did he urge him to come over early.

Uncle Zhong smiled, "It's better to arrive early than late." ”

Xie Mansion is really big, along the way, Xie Lingyun feels that this is a city in a city, according to Uncle Zhong, all the Xie clans in the capital live here, and there is a distance on the road to see who walks by, the old man told him that is "thank you", that is "thank you", that Xie is the uncle of that Xie what, and that Xie is the brother of that Xie what......

As a result, he couldn't remember any of them, and Xie Lingyun himself felt very strange, with his current memory, how could he not remember it? Maybe it was because he didn't want to remember.

In the early spring, everything grows, and the flowers compete for beauty, which is really pleasing to the eye, and he loves it more than the prosperity of the streets.

The firewood house was far away, and gradually, the two of them had stepped into this "slave shop" in the Xie Mansion, and they didn't really divide such an area and install this name, but the actual situation here was like this. There are thousands of servants in the Xie Mansion, and there must be this place, and facilities such as firewood houses and raccoon clothes rooms are also here.

Generally speaking, adults rarely set foot in the slave shop, and the most majestic in the workshop is undoubtedly your stewards, who naturally have any temper, although this is Xie Mansion, it does not mean that there are no bullies.

"Why are your hands and feet so stupid, you dead girl, if this Buddha statue is broken by you, you can't make amends for your sins when you die"

"The servant is wrong, Luo is in charge, the servant knows that ...... is wrong"

When passing through another courtyard, Xie Lingyun heard a fierce noise coming from the courtyard, to be precise, it should be angry scolding, he looked into the courtyard, and saw a middle-aged man with a meaty face holding a ceramic Buddha statue in one hand, and scolding a little girl ring with one finger, and the other Yahuan servants around were silent, but looking at their frowning appearance, it seemed that they were quite resentful.

"What's going on?" Xie Lingyun looked at Uncle Zhong, a little blind, the little girl was only eleven or twelve years old, her eyes were full of tears, and she was scared out of her guts by scolding, what is the matter, why bother?

"Oh, Steward Luo is training people again. Uncle Zhong was not surprised.

It turned out that the courtyard was specially used to store the silk and satin of Xie Mansion, and Luo was in charge of management, this guy had a bad temper, and he usually liked to pick bones in eggs, and these servants were a little afraid of him.

And the two listened to it, and knew that the ceramic Buddha statue was just given by the chief manager today, and of course Steward Luo was baby, and as soon as he came back, he gathered all the servants and maids under his management together, and asked them to give the Buddha statue a respectful salute, because Steward Luo likes to point fingers when he speaks, so he called the little girl named Xiuni as a boy holding a Buddha statue.

Unexpectedly, Xiuni trembled, almost unable to grasp the Buddha statue, and was in danger. Steward Luo was immediately furious, although the Buddha statue was fine, but he scolded loudly, and the two of them happened to see it.

"Dead girl, I said a long time ago that you will get into trouble sooner or later, do you know how valuable this Buddha statue is?" Steward Luo's triangular eyes were about to burst, "Cry, cry, cry, what else can you do but cry, you are not clever in life, I think I still have to tell the chief manager, sell you to the mansion, and sell you to the Qinglou."

"Don't, don't" Xiuni was frightened, and knelt down for Steward Luo and cried: "Please, please do well, spare me this time......"

Steward Luo looked indifferent, and sneered: "You little got your wish, don't you always stare at those silks, when you get to the Qinglou, you have to wear it."

Xiuni's face became more and more pale, and she trembled all over, "I don't want to go to the Qinglou, please do well......"

"Steward Luo, you just spare Xiuni once, what a big deal, didn't the Buddha statue fall?", "Yes, Xiuni is usually very diligent in life. ”

The servants and maids couldn't help but plead one after another, in fact, who could see it, they all wanted to beat up this Luo steward who had been stabbed a thousand times, such a person should be in charge, it is really unreasonable.

"Do you also want to be sold to the Xie Mansion?" Steward Luo sneered even more, "There are more people in the world who want to be slaves to the Xie family than in the entire Luoyang, and there are more people like you in the whole of Luoyang, so there are even more, why are they worthless? ”

Although the crowd was angry, they were submissive and did not dare to refute it......

At this moment, Steward Luo was even more arrogant, the horizontal flesh on his face shook a few times, and said: "You have become a ghost, just come back to me, see if I don't destroy you A bunch of dogs."

In the distance outside the courtyard, Xie Lingyun's brows were already furrowed, and he looked at Uncle Zhong with a question in his eyes, what is the situation? He asked in a deep voice, "Why is there such a villain in the Xie Mansion?"

He didn't ask about the family style as a young master, but he felt unappetizing, the Xie family has so many admirable people, the Xie Mansion has so many intoxicating beauties, Kang Le Gong governs the world, but he can't even find a good candidate for a steward?

"Xie Mansion is not a fairyland. Uncle Zhong said softly, there was no anger, he didn't care about the little thing in front of him at all, an evil servant with chicken feathers as an arrow, as long as he didn't do evil outside, how could he take care of it.

Xie Lingyun clenched his fists, and when he saw it, he wouldn't sit idly by, and said loudly: "I really can't imagine that the Xie family is not a family of four princes, but a family of five princes, and there is a bad father-in-law." ”

Who is talking? Steward Luo heard it, these two words made him angry, turned his head to look, and saw that it was a hunchback loyally leading a young man, after all, he didn't know the details of the other party, suppressed his anger, and asked, "Little brother, are you?"

"Under Xie Lingyun. Xie Lingyun looked indifferent, and strode to the courtyard, "What's the matter? Grandpa Luo is also going to sell me to the Qinglou?"

The servants and maids were both surprised and excited, and finally someone came to deal with this bully, but which son is this? I don't seem to have seen or heard of it, and I seem to have some impression of this name......

"Hunchbacked Zhong, is he?" Steward Luo looked at Uncle Zhong, his youthful bearing was extraordinary, so he didn't dare to talk casually.

Uncle Zhong grinned, revealing two rows of half-yellow broken teeth, and said, "He is one of my nephews, who has been fostered in Jinling since he was a child, and just came back today." ”

When the servants and maids heard this, their faces suddenly changed, and the rosy that Xiuni had just had quickly receded and became even whiter

What? Humpback Zhong's nephew? Steward Luo was stunned for a while, what kind of bullshit is that, why do you talk to him like this, thinking that the surname Xie is from the Xie clan? What kind of thing He laughed a few times, "I said little brother, I teach my subordinates how to do things and do things, what kind of hero are you......?"

"Ha Lu Ha" Xie Lingyun smiled and asked, "You shout and kill at every turn, which Buddha statue do you worship?"

The crowd almost applauded, yes, the Bodhisattva was compassionate, but this Luo Guan was an evil ghost

"Hunchback Zhong, who asked you to bring him into the mansion?

"Those who know the way know the way, and they all know the way. Uncle Zhong nodded, still not saying much.

"Little girl, get up. Xie Lingyun said to Xiuniu, looked at the servants and maids, and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to be afraid of this evil father-in-law, although I am a newcomer, I know that the way of recreation and righteousness, he will definitely not support anyone to bully others." He looked at Steward Luo, whose face was dark, "As long as you unite to sue this villain for his evil deeds, I'm sure that the person who will be expelled from the Xie Mansion will only be him." ”

Steward Luo, who was pointed at, smiled again, was a little panicked in his heart, but he still glared at everyone, and said: "Don't listen to this person's nonsense, you think that the sky is turned upside down, how can Kang Le Gong have time to pay attention to you cheap slaves"

"You can try to be arrogant again. Xie Lingyun was too lazy to talk to him, his face turned cold, and he didn't suppress his mental pressure, "This is what I Xie Lingyun said, if you dare to do anything wrong, Kang Le Gong will definitely know the way."

The entire Xie Mansion will know that when the time comes, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. ”

"You, you ......" Steward Luo's face changed, and he wanted to say what are you, he swallowed his saliva, as if he was pressed by a mountain, but he couldn't speak......

"Bring it" Xie Lingyun snatched the Buddha statue from the other party's hand, and when he saw that it was Shakyamuni, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "In vain, you are holding the Buddha statue, what about your Buddha nature?"

After that, he walked outside the courtyard, "This Buddha statue, I have kept it for you for the time being, remember my words, if you are willing to change, there is no Buddha in your hands, and there is a Buddha in your heart." ”

"You snatch something and give it back to me...... You ......" Manager Luo was mad and chased after him, but Xie Lingyun and Uncle Zhong were very fast, he couldn't catch up, and a sentence rippled in his throat for a long time, and he still couldn't say, who are you

The crowd was stunned, and there were some other slaves who heard the noise, who was that...... So daring
