The next day was sunny, the cold air had not dissipated, and there was a warm breeze. It was indeed a good weather for traveling and visiting friends.
The Liu Family of the Southern Capital is located at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain and on the bank of Crescent Lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, offering tranquility amidst the bustle.
This is a high-end villa community. The Liu family has a large courtyard separated deep in the community. There are mountains and lakes in the courtyard, four or five small buildings, six or seven pavilions, and a waterway leading directly to the mountain.
A stream of running water was led down, looping in and out of the courtyard, smoothly and euphemistically, forming a small lake and then flowing out of the courtyard.
This place has always been peaceful and quiet, and the owners who live in the community all know the identity of the owner of this courtyard. They don't dare to disturb him at all on weekdays. They only come to visit for a while during holidays, and then leave quickly after becoming familiar with each other.
But today, this should have been a peaceful and quiet courtyard, but there were more than ten people standing at the gate. The two old men at the head were bright and octogenarian, and they had an imposing manner.
Logically speaking, people like this should be the protagonists wherever they go, and they should be greeted by others. I don’t know who the people are today, but they actually let the two old ladies from the Liu family in Nandu stand at the door in person.
Welcome.
And the most important thing is that the people who came to the door haven't come yet, they are standing at the door early in the morning!
Fortunately no one saw it, otherwise his eyes would have been shocked.
Not long after, a Te Teng V7 drove slowly from a distance, and everyone at the gate perked up. Of course they recognized that this was Liu Ruiling's car, and the person in the car was the peerless person they were going to welcome today.
The car slowly stopped at the door. Before Ning Chen could make a move, Liu Yingnan, who was standing next to the two old men, swooped out, flew to the side of the car, and opened the back door.
"Master Ning, please!" Liu Yingnan bowed outside the car and extended his hand in greeting.
"Thank you Daoyou Liu." Ning Chen nodded and smiled, took Zhou Mengyao's hand and stepped out of the back seat of the car.
"I've met Master Ning!" Everyone in the Liu family bowed and saluted.
"I have met you fellow Taoists." Ning Chen and Zhou Mengyao also returned the greetings.
Ning Chen took a step forward, stretched out his hand to lift up the two old men standing at the front, "Excuse me, fellow Taoists, to greet you. Ning Chen is polite."
"I have met Zhenren Ning, Liu Yiwen, and Liu Yiliang. They are polite." The two old men also replied.
The two old masters of the Liu family in Nandu were both at the fourth level of Qi refining, and Ning Chen discovered that there was a middle-aged woman standing not far away who was beautiful and fashionably dressed. She had also reached the fourth level of Qi refining.
"Master Ning, please!"
"The Liu family of Nandu is well-deserved. Two Taoist friends please come."
…
Returning to the Liu family's hall, they each sat down. After the introduction, Ning Chen found out that this woman was Liu Yiliang's youngest daughter. She was just over forty this year, but she was successful in Qi refining and she looked like she was under thirty years old.
young woman.
"Fellow Daoist Liu's cultivation is no longer inferior to the two old masters. It's gratifying that the Liu family has a successor." Ning Chen nodded and smiled.
Liu Yiliang laughed heartily and was extremely proud. Liu Yiwen shook his head. He had long been familiar with his brother's character, but he still interrupted, "Don't laugh, our little cultivation is nothing. We make Master Ning laugh."
"When the Nanhai Cave Heaven is completed, the two old masters and Liu Daoyou can go to the island to practice. With the background of the three of them, they will be able to practice to the sixth level of Qi Refining soon. If the opportunity comes, and advance to the later stage of Qi Refining, then Pingxu Yu
The wind can travel thousands of miles in a day, that is the real freedom." Ning Chen said with a smile.
The eyes of the old man of the Liu family shone brightly, and everyone in the Liu family also looked envious, but they also knew that with their qualifications and cultivation, they were not qualified to go to the island to practice.
But Ning Chen gave three places to the Liu family as soon as he opened his mouth today. Now looking at the good relationship between Liu Ruiling and Zhou Mengyao, the Liu family will really become prosperous in the future.
Everyone chatted and laughed for a while. Taking this opportunity, everyone in the Liu family asked some questions about their cultivation. Ning Chen did not refuse anyone who came and answered them all.
Seeing that it was approaching noon, Liu Yiwen said, "Master Ning, I asked my family to prepare some home-cooked dishes. How about I show you around my humble home and then have a family dinner together?"
"As the guest and the host do, please make arrangements." Ning Chen said with a smile.
Liu Yiwen was overjoyed and waved to one of his sons to prepare lunch. He stood up and led Ning Chen out of the villa and began to introduce the courtyard.
"Speaking of which, we two brothers actually lived here when we were young. We followed our father into the mountains to practice on weekdays." Liu Yiwen said as he walked, "In our memories, Zhongshan is everything to us."
"Fortunately, modern society is getting better and better. After we started doing business, we bought this land, developed this community, and settled our family here." Liu Yiliang said, "Our Liu family's exercises were passed down from
Qingcheng Mountain is also from the Taoist lineage, but it focuses on physical skills. When it comes to Taoist achievements, they are far behind Feiliu Zhenren."
Ning Chen nodded, thinking about the Kong family in Lu Province, the Yue family in Beidu, and the Liu family in front of him. In fact, the more deeply the cultivation world is integrated with the secular world, the more they value this physical skill that is best at protecting the body.
This is also the result of the Qi Refiner's long-term adaptation. After all, the earth's spiritual energy is insufficient, the preparation time of spells is long, and most of them are not powerful. For most Qi Refiners who have insufficient cultivation, it is indeed not as good as the internal strength to protect the body.
Martial arts are useful.
"Here are the memorial tablets of the ancestors of my Liu family. The first generation ancestor of our Liu family returned from Qingcheng Mountain during the Southern Song Dynasty and founded our lineage."
We came to a tall antique building behind the courtyard. This is the ancestral hall of the Liu family. According to Liu Yiwen, it was moved here with the completion of the community.
Ning Chen nodded. This is the place where the Liu family worships their ancestors every year. It is inconvenient for outsiders to enter, and Ning Chen is not interested in visiting, so he is going to follow Liu Yiwen's guidance and leave.
But just as he raised his feet, Ning Chen suddenly felt a slight vibration in the space around him. This vibration was either caused by an earthquake, not caused by cold wind, or a vibration that came out of thin air, a simple spatial vibration.
Although the vibration caused by this invisible ripple was as slight as a mosquito grazing the water, the ripples it caused in Ning Chen's heart were no weaker than a huge wave.
Ning Chen stopped suddenly, looked back suddenly, and stared at the Liu family's ancestral hall with burning eyes.
"Master Ning?"
Ning Chen's reaction shocked everyone, Liu Yiliang asked softly, wondering why Ning Chen suddenly focused on his ancestral temple.
"I wonder what Master Ning discovered?" Liu Yingnan stepped forward and asked.
Ning Chen touched his chin and said with some uncertainty, "I wonder if I can enter the Noble Ancestor Temple and offer incense to these seniors in the world of cultivation?"
"Of course, I'm very lucky." Although everyone knew it was an excuse, Ning Chen had given enough face, and the Liu family would naturally not regard him as a villain.
Moreover, they actually wanted to know what exactly could attract Ning Chen?
