Taiping Inn

The Long Family Mansion covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, with very particular buildings, strict hierarchies and cumbersome rules. For example, the main courtyard where the owner of the family is located is located in the middle of the mansion, and at the deepest part of the mansion is a hall, which is actually an imitation. The palace style is imitated - no one expected that there was such a palace in the Long Family Mansion, which was five meters deep and nine meters wide, which was as large as the area of ​​the imperial city Gan Palace! It is only two feet high, so that people outside the wall cannot see that there is such an illegal building inside.

At this time, the hall was empty, but it was covered with various silk curtains. Through the thick silk curtains, there was only a cushion in the deepest part of the hall. A tall middle-aged man sat cross-legged on it, his eyes closed, and his face was Resolute.

If the old archer Luo Yixiao has entered the twilight years of a martial artist, then this person is at the peak of a martial artist. Every inch of his body is filled with a feeling of almost suffocating oppression. He just sat here, like a seat Mountains, a ridge.

The man was Long Xiaoyun, the head of the Long family. He went to Zhongzhou Jingzen Buddhism under the age of ten, and worshipped him at the head of the Luohan Hall to study martial arts. After completing his studies, he returned to the family and replaced his father as the head of the Long family, supporting the Long family with one hand. He was unknown when he was young, and he only became famous in recent years, because after staying on the top of the mountain in the Innate Realm for several years, he finally took that critical step and touched the threshold of the Return Realm. In this way, even in Jing Zen Buddhism, he has a place and is qualified to be a "sected" in the world, which is different from the innate realm masters who run single gangs.

Next to him was an old man with a sad face. The old man was the chief manager who had just returned to the Long Mansion from the Wancheng Escort Agency. He had served three generations of heads of the family. He was respected and trusted and did not leave the house in Long Xiaoyun. At that time, he was the well-deserved person of Long's family. However, this time the matter was too big and he could no longer make the decision, so he came to disturb the head of the family to report the matter in seclusion. You should know that Long Xiaoyun hated others the most when he was seclusion. Taboo, that is, this big manager, who had been slapped to death by someone else.

After listening to the old man's narration, Long Xiaoyun said expressionlessly: "Kill me, Wancheng Escort Agency, for more than a dozen lives, and left nine handprints on my mansion. This technique is the same as the Longmen in the past few years. The escort agency massacre is somewhat similar. "

The old man nodded and said, "That's true. If there is no accident, it should be done by the same group of people."

Long Xiaoyun asked, "According to Uncle Yu's opinion, what are these people's origins?"

The old man pondered, "It's hard to say that I went to check the body myself, there were no scars on my body, nor was it poisoned. As a last resort, I could only cut the body open and then found the cause of death. It turned out that these people were killed by a palm. , there are no scars on the outside, but a heart was shaken into seven or eight petals with its powerful palm power. It should undoubtedly be the "Broken Heart Palm". But this "Broken Heart Palm" is the skill of the scattered people in the world, and it is in the world. It is widely circulated on the top. No matter whether it is the right path or the evil path, there are people who practice it. It is difficult to trace the origin of this group of people from this."

Long Xiaoyun snorted, "Last time it was the 'big handprint', this time it was the 'broken heart palm', which shows that this group of people are not ordinary people in the world."

The old man nodded and said, "What the head of the family said is very true."

Long Xiaoyun whispered: "Although I have been domineering over the years and have offended many people, there are no one who can have this ability among those who have formed a mortal hatred."

The old man asked, "Is it a strong dragon crossing the river?"

Long Xiaoyun shook his head and said, "The strong dragon wants to suppress the local snake, either for fame or for profit. There is no need to do both of them to make things happen by making fun of gods and ghosts, just come to the door with dignity."

The old man sighed: "Making enemies in the world may not be earth-shaking, or they may be silent. It was not until decades later that it was unpredictable. Sometimes, even if you don't even know who the enemy is or why you make enemies."

Long Xiaoyun's face was calm, "The twelve sects of righteous path and the ten evil paths have been established for at least a thousand years. Which one has made countless enemies? But it still stands tall. In the final analysis, it does not depend on the enemy, but on the one hand. If it is his own ability, If you are not good, you will be killed by others by revenge and you will not blame others."

The old manager didn't say anything, just sighed a long time.

He lived at such an old age and was used to seeing people and things in the world. How could he not understand this? But when things came to his head, he couldn't see it. How could Long's century-old foundation be in his own The hand was wiped out?

Long Xiaoyun asked, "Has Old Master Luo returned? According to the itinerary, he should have been back this morning."

The old man who was called "Uncle Yu" by Long Xiaoyun smiled bitterly, and the sadness on his face became heavier. He shook his head and said, "Not only the old man Luo has not returned yet, but even the one who follows Luo's old man Luo's side. Those wardens were not heard from either."

Long Xiaoyun finally changed his color slightly.

He knew exactly how Luo Yixiao's cultivation was. He had proved martial arts with him all year round, had a deep cultivation, and was undoubtedly a real innate realm. The eight wardens who followed him were also good at fighting skills. If they had encountered it, they would have encountered it. Unexpectedly, the strength of the visitor is a bit terrifying.

The old man suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, Luo Zhen, the adopted son of the old man Luo, has disappeared. I don't know if he was killed or has turned against him."

Long Xiaoyun was silent for a moment and said, "If Old Luo's head is unexpected, then the inner demon might be this person!"

The old man was shocked.

Long Xiaoyun continued, "It seems that people are prepared, but we are not prepared at all. We don't even know who the enemy is, and we are afraid there will be more disasters."

The old man said bitterly: "Is there no way?"

Long Xiaoyun practiced in Jing Zen for many years. Although he had never studied Buddhist Zen in depth, he also knew a little about it through his eyes. At this time, he recited a Buddhist verse, "All good deeds are originally illusions, and he created them. Evil karma is also an illusion. The body is like a gathering of foam and the heart is like a wind, and it has no roots and no reality. "

The old man frowned, and the wrinkles on his face looked like ravines that had been chopped out with an axe.

Long Xiaoyun slowly stood up, came to the gate of the hall, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "The situation is that the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy is dark and we are bright. If we fight head-on, we may not be our opponents. For the sake of this, we can only It is normal to ask friends for help, in times of trouble, in the world."

The old man still couldn't hide his worries and said, "We have many friends who have deep friendship, but few of them have higher cultivation than the head of the family. Those who are even worse than the head of the family are not of much use when invited. Although they are quiet, they are quiet. There are many masters in Zen. If they are willing to take action, they will definitely be able to resolve the danger. However, now Jing Zen Buddhism has enshrines the temple to thank guests, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to invite the monks in the temple to go down the mountain."

"Uncle Yu's words are reasonable." Long Xiaoyun nodded and said, "But there are many people and many people. It is also good to invite some friends to boost their momentum."

The old man said, "In accordance with the opinions of the head of the family, who should be invited?"

Long Xiaoyun thought for a moment and said, "Go to do it nearby. First invite friends from Jiangling Mansion, and then invite fellow martial arts fellows from Jiangzhou, Luzhou, Chuzhou, Xiaozhou and Wuzhou."

The old man frowned and said, "I'm asking for help in such an urgent matter. I've uploaded it to the world. It's really a big demerit in our Long Family and Wancheng Escort Agency."

Long Xiaoyun waved his hand and said, "It has reached such a critical point. How can I care about these things in the future? It is important to save my family and life first."

The old man sighed helplessly and stood up and left the place, preparing to arrange personnel.

Long Xiaoyun stood alone at the gate of the hall, watching the old man's figure gradually fading away, looked at the sky, and there was already dark clouds above his head, and there was a sign of heavy rain.

Long Xiaoyun's already bad mood suddenly became even worse.

In the past twenty years since he took charge of the Long Family, there have been so many winds, frost, rains and snows. Can today's upcoming winds and rains be blocked with his own strength?

Long Xiaoyun's heart was as dark and gloomy as the weather, and he could not see any sunlight.

The world is surging, the winds and waves are strong, and under the storm, even the seemingly stable ship will inevitably worry about overturning.

Looking at the ancient and modern times, there are many people who have been destroyed by others.

If he can't save the Long family or even himself, who else can save the Long family?
