Chapter 372 The myth of a hundred years ago: Lin Zhentian!
Luzhou Lin family.
Wuzhou Ningjia.
These are two of the few wealthy families in China, and they have a lofty status.
In terms of wealth, the Ning family, with its richest people emerging one after another, is naturally better. In other words, looking at the whole of China, there are really not many people who can match the Ning family in terms of wealth.
The Lin family in Luzhou is naturally incomparable!
In terms of status, the Ning family's influence radiates across the country, whether in politics or business, and has a more lofty status within China, while the Lin family is limited to Luzhou.
In terms of heritage, the Ning family has been officials for generations and has a history of 200 years, which is a full 100 years longer than the century-old Lin family.
Wealth, status, and heritage, the Wuzhou Ning family is enough to crush the Luzhou Lin family, but we have to ask which family is stronger and which family is more intimidating.
Everyone will choose...the Luzhou Lin family!
Why?
The reason is very simple, because Lin Zhentian, the ancestor of the Lin family, is a peerless master in the realm of myths, ranking 10th on the mythology list!
Martial arts families, business families, and official families have been fighting each other since ancient times, and the business family is undoubtedly the weakest among them.
Unfortunately, the Lin family is the top martial arts world in China, while the Ning family in Wuzhou, first a family of officials and now a family of businessmen, is inherently incomparable to the Lin family.
Not to mention, the Lin family also has an ancestor who is on the myth list.
A mythical ancestor is enough to destroy the Ning family!
"Things...are in trouble!"
Many of the old men in the hall were all mature figures, and they realized the seriousness of the problem almost as soon as they thought about it.
"Old man, you are in a dilemma!"
"Either you regret the engagement and offend the Lin family, but if you don't regret the engagement, it means offending Ying Yue. This..."
Everyone was silent. No matter who they were, no one from the Ning family could be offended.
The Lin family cannot be offended, Ying Yue is even more terrifying!
No one can be forgiven for offending!
"Brother, why didn't we know about this at all before?"
Ning Hongtao, the fifth child, complained a little and looked at his boss with dissatisfaction.
Ning Hongze smiled bitterly: "I wanted to wait until my birthday to announce it. Besides, who would have thought that Zi Xia and Ying Yue would be good friends?"
Who would have thought?
No one would have thought!
The peerless grandmaster Ying Yue, one of the true giants in the Chinese martial arts world, who would have thought that he could fall in love with a mere girl?
Speaking of which, I really don't blame the old man for this.
"What should we do now, brother, have you thought about it?"
Ning Hongtao asked repeatedly: "If this matter is not resolved properly, our Ning family will be in danger of overthrowing in 200 years!"
Ning Hongze shook his head, what could he do?
He is resourceful and well-informed, but when it comes to things that are beyond his control, how can he be resourceful and solve them?
"Old man, at this point, there is no way to have the best of both worlds. You can only choose one of the two!"
The chubby old man said slowly: "Whether it's the Lin family or Ying Yue, you must choose one. The question now is who to choose and how to choose!"
"Please teach me, Mr. Wang!"
Ning Hongze asked quickly.
Everyone also nodded.
Choosing Ying Yue means offending the Lin family and Lin Zhentian.
vice versa.
“The criteria for choosing are simple!”
The chubby old man narrowed his eyes slightly: "Choose whoever is stronger. In this way, you only offend the weaker party. With the strong one as your backer, the weak one can't do anything to you!"
"Yes, that's right!"
Ning Hongze nodded repeatedly: "Then who is stronger?"
"Yes, who is stronger, Lin Zhentian or Ying Yue?"
Ning Hongtao also quickly asked.
"I think it's Lin Zhentian!"
The chubby old man said in a deep voice: "Lin Zhentian became famous a hundred years ago. It was rumored that he was the imperial guard of Emperor Guangxu. He was praised by Emperor Guangxu at that time as the best batulu in the Qing Dynasty.
At that time, the Qing Dynasty was in a state of turmoil, with people revolting internally, foreign powers eyeing it, and many demons and monsters jumping out.
But Lin Zhentian, the ancestor of the Lin family, killed all the heroes with just one sword and made them surrender. You can imagine his strength.
According to rumors, at that time, the Japanese swordsman Watanabe Mikawa came across the sea to the west and named himself to challenge Lin Zhentian, the number one warrior in the Qing Dynasty.
The two sides fought fiercely for three days, and finally Watanabe Mikawa was killed by Lin Zhentian's sword, establishing his great power!"
Speaking of this, the fat old man said with emotion: "Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Lin Zhentian and his family lived in seclusion in Luzhou, hiding from the world until the situation stabilized and the Lin family came out again.
However, Lin Zhentian has not taken action for more than a hundred years and has never been seen in front of others. The world once thought he was dead.
It was not until 50 years after Lin Zhentian disappeared that his name appeared on the myth list published by the pantheon of gods, and people recalled that Lin Zhentian was not dead and was ranked tenth!"
"Lin Zhentian a hundred years ago was already the number one master in China?"
When Ning Hongze heard this, he couldn't help but gasped: "How strong must he be now?"
"Although I don't know what the pantheon of gods is based on, I can be sure that Lin Zhentian's ranking on the myth list is more than this. He should be stronger!"
The fat old man said firmly.
"Stronger?" Ning Hongtao took a breath: "Is it possible that Lin Zhentian's strength is more than just tenth place?"
"should be!"
The fat old man nodded heavily: "How long has it been since the rise of the pantheon of gods? How do they know how terrifying Lin Zhentian is? In addition, without taking action for a hundred years, how far has Lin Zhentian reached?
No one knows!
He is seriously underestimated, and completely understandably!"
"So, Lin Zhentian is better than Ying Yue?"
Ning Hongze looked at the fat old man and asked seriously.
"Yingyue?"
The fat old man laughed dumbly: "It's not that I underestimate him. Although he killed the four major myths of Japan, the four of Yagyu Souei were only at the level of masters during the war of resistance.
They have only broken through and become myths in recent years. At most, they are in the early stage of mythology. Breaking through the sky will not exceed the middle stage of mythology.
In fact, looking around the world, there are many mythical masters who can kill the four Yagyu Souei!"
"But the outside world says that Yingyue is at least among the top ten on the myth list!"
Ning Hongze frowned, still a little unsure.
"Hearsay is not trustworthy!"
The fat old man shook his head and chuckled: "The international underworld has been at peace for a long time, and some rotten sesame and old millet things can be talked about for three years.
A record like Ying Yue's can cause such a sensation now, but if it were placed a hundred years ago, it would actually mean nothing."
"So, Ying Yue is really not as good as Lin Zhentian?"
Ning Hongze and Ning Hongtao looked at each other and asked again. This was related to their choice, so it was very important and they had to be cautious.
"Actually, who is stronger between Lin Zhentian and Ying Yue? It doesn't matter what you say, nor does it matter what I say!"
The fat old man suddenly smiled and said: "But for the ranking of the temples, you can refer to one or two!"
"Ranking of the pantheon of gods?"
Ning Hongze frowned and heard the fat old man continue: "Every other month is when the pantheon of gods rearranges various lists. You might as well take a look at the current list!"
"The current list?"
Ning Hongze's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you said a lot!"
