Just as this large group of orioles and swallows were going up the mountain, the deputy owner of Luoshen Villa, Dugu Xuezheng, and his family lived on Yinniu Mountain.
Dugu Xuezheng and Dugu Shidao are cousins.
The two have the same grandfather and are both direct descendants.
Even Dugu Xuezheng is the legitimate son and grandson. If we go by the eldest and youngest order of ordinary people, he should be able to inherit the Dugu family and inherit the Luoshen Villa as a matter of course.
But back then, his talent was not even a bit inferior to that of Dugu Shidao.
In the end, he could only let his cousin become the head of the Dugu family.
And he became the deputy owner of Luoshen Villa.
Over the years, he has been very low-key, keeping a low profile and biding his time.
He put all his focus on training the second generation.
His two sons did not disappoint.
It is a pity that his eldest son is now known as the first person of the second generation of the Dugu family.
But when Dugu Shidao's son was still alive, his son's glory was still overshadowed by the other party.
The other party's son can even be called the number one person in Luoshen Villa.
You must know that the Dugu family of the five major families in Luoshen Villa is definitely the strongest, but the other four major families are not much weaker.
Nowadays, Dugu Zhiyu can be regarded as the strongest among the young generation in Luoshen Villa.
But it's not the strongest one.
Among the other four families, there are also those who are not weaker than him.
But back then, when they were still young, Dugu Shidao's son was the one who stood out and took the lead.
Therefore, although his son is now the first of the second generation of the Dugu family.
But he never allowed his son to talk about his honor outside.
This was not an honor in his opinion.
But a humiliation.
Fortunately, his grandchildren have made him happy.
The talents of the two grandsons are not inferior to those of Dugu Shidao's grandsons, and the talents of the three are only between the two.
And Dugu Shidao's granddaughter has been unable to practice since she was a child.
During those ten years, Dugu Xuezheng was happy every day.
You can't fight against yourself, but you can't fight against your son.
The fight for grandson is finally over!
But it didn't take long for him to be happy.
When the girl turned sixteen, she secretly entered the Dugu family's arsenal.
He was caught red-handed by his grandson, and both the man and the stolen goods were taken away!
According to the rules of the Dugu family, clan members without sufficient cultivation cannot enter the arsenal.
It doesn’t matter whose grandchild you are!
But things were beyond his expectation.
That little girl has never practiced cultivation at all.
But he was able to seriously injure his grandson, who had already begun to open up the Ren and Du's second channel.
When he came forward to ask how the matter should be resolved,
That girl showed her super talent.
It shocked the entire Dugu family and even Luoshen Villa.
Not only the other four major families, but also the heads of the nine major middle-level forces came to the Elephant Mountain.
I want to see what this girl's talent is.
A natural born achiever!
These five words were like a big mountain that day, as if they would be carried on his shoulders forever.
Unexpectedly, in just four years, Dugu Shidao disappeared, giving them this perfect opportunity.
The Dugu family of Luoshen Villa has not had a female owner or head of the family for several generations.
The status of women in the Dugu family has been completely different from what it was more than a hundred years ago.
As long as I can marry that girl off.
Not to mention Luoshen Villa, at least the Dugu family still belongs to them.
As long as they can control the Dugu family, Luoshen Villa will also belong to them.
Even if that little girl has extraordinary abilities,
At most, he could become the guardian of Luoshen Villa, not the controller.
The old man's abacus clicked.
What he didn't know was that a storm was about to cover the entire Luoshen Villa.
And all of this is because of his obsession that he shouldn't have.
The next day, October 20th.
There are still ten days before the competition to recruit a bride at Luoshen Villa on October 30th.
The location where this conference was held was on Tianlong Mountain.
For this reason, the layout of this place started a month ago.
Tianlong Mountain is the gentlest of the several peaks in Luoshen Villa.
There is a large open space on the mountainside, with hundreds of cabins rising from the ground.
With three major families of young and powerful people, it would be too easy for this kind of cabin to stand.
Luoshen Villa will build thousands of wooden houses here to accommodate martial arts people who come to participate in martial arts competitions and find brides.
As the host of this conference, Dugu Zhiyu has been busy here these days.
In fact, he is also busy for himself.
If the next owner of Luoshen Villa can really fall into his lineage, he will undoubtedly be the biggest gainer.
Even if he can't become the owner of Luoshen Villa, this position will at least be obtained by his son.
The entire venue for the competition to recruit a bride has actually been laid out, and he only hangs out here twice a day.
Brush up your presence.
It just so happened that his son was going to bring some like-minded friends here to meet him today, so he made a quick tour and returned to his station here.
Not long after, Dugu Zhengxuan came here with several young people.
"Father!"
In the conference room, Dugu Zhiyu sat upright and looked kindly at the young people below.
He knew in his heart that the people his son had hired were the most outstanding young talents.
The purpose is to compete for the position of her niece's husband.
His niece's talent is only spread within Luoshen Villa.
Because this talent is too powerful.
As a result, none of the four major families except the Dugu family showed much interest in her.
Sometimes too much talent can be a problem.
Even among the nine other middle-grade forces and the forty-eight lower-grade families, few have shown interest in them.
On the contrary, all the female dolls in these families admire their niece very much.
But after all, they are a group of women, and no matter what they do, they cannot make a big difference.
He even felt that his father was holding back his bad intentions at first just to make his niece cause trouble.
After all, his niece has a very stubborn temper.
When he was still an ordinary person, he dared to brave the Dugu family's rules and enter the arsenal.
If it weren't for her incredible talent, the grass on her grave would be three feet tall now.
At that time, all the forces came to see this girl and thought that she would be the one to revitalize Luoshen Villa in the future.
But everyone hopes that she will just be the guardian and pioneer of Luoshen Villa.
No one wants such a girl to be the helmsman of the entire Luoshen Villa.
Preferring boys over girls is actually okay in this era, but looking down on women and weakening women in the world is a habit that has been gradually formed over a long time.
After all, the proportion of female warriors is too small and their strength is not strong enough.
Even the ancestor of the Luoshen female general of the Dugu family in Luoshen Villa seems to be at the top level of Dacheng Realm.
Without becoming a master, a woman cannot occupy a place in the entire world.
But now a girl with the qualifications of a master has appeared.
Luoshen Villa cherished her but didn't know what to do with her.
This time, under the leadership of the Dugu family and Dugu Xuezheng, everyone in Luoshen Villa tacitly agreed to his decision.
That is to recruit a son-in-law in her name.
This son-in-law must move into Luoshen Villa.
And no longer enjoy all the qualifications in the previous city.
This is the bottom line.
This also avoids the possibility of many young talents of the same level participating.
For example, the Holy Sect, the direct disciples of the sect masters and the most outstanding disciples cannot abandon their identity as the Holy Sect to join him in Luoshen Villa.
The identity of a bride-in-law is enough to stop them.
It's a pity that these old guys at Luoshen Villa think that today's young people are too old-fashioned.
Especially thinking that the Holy Sect is too old-fashioned.
Liu Xin had never even thought about whether the news that he, as the senior brother of the Holy Sect, was going to marry Luoshen Villa would cause displeasure among the elders of his sect.
If he knew what these old guys were thinking, he would definitely sneer at them.
"My master is still eager for me to marry into your Luoshen Villa and marry the most talented woman in your Luoshen Villa.
After I get married, it’s not up to me to decide whether or not I will have a wife.
Everything is big in the world, but face is the least valuable thing in the Holy Sect.
You can go find out when the Holy Sect will face this thing.
The Holy Sect has always only wanted fists, and as long as they have fists, they can have face.
If your fist is big enough, how dare you not give me face? "
It can only be said that where he stood affected his thoughts.
Perhaps if Dugu Shidao had this idea, he would know that what he was thinking was too natural in the next moment.
Although people like Dugu Xuezheng also hold high positions, they have been decadent, cheered up, and decadent again over the years.
In such repeated internal friction, he never really thought about problems from this level, and he had already lost his keen perception of these problems.
"I've met Senior Dugu!"
Several young people spoke one after another.
"Father, let me introduce you."
Dugu Zhengxuan behaved very elegantly, and with his status in the world, he could definitely be regarded as the son of a top wealthy family.
And these people are a few relatively good talents he discovered during his friendship during this period.
Ambitious, easy to control, and somewhat powerful.
This is the perfect husband that the Dugu family is looking for for their little princess.
"This is Qingyang Ziyang Pavilion, Young Pavilion Master, Ying Chuanjiang, Brother Ying."
Dugu Zhiyu looked at the first person on the right.
He is about twenty-five years old, with a tall figure like a pine and cypress, and a plain white robe, like a banished immortal who does not disturb the dust.
Although he has never heard of Ziyang Pavilion and is still a young pavilion master, his appearance and figure alone are enough to put on a show.
Dugu Zhiyu nodded with satisfaction.
This Ying Chuanjiang also had some self-cultivation, and respectfully bowed to Dugu Zhiyu again.
Dugu Zhengxuan smiled, pointed to the man next to Ying Chuanjiang and said:
"This is the chief disciple of Yunqi Valley in Xi'an Prefecture, Meng Yuanzong, Brother Meng."
"I've met senior!"
Meng Yuanzong had a hearty voice, and his face was chiseled, like a knife cutting an axe. He had a jet-black sword slung across his body, and the blade was inlaid with simple cloud patterns.
"Wuyunjian, are you Tang Qianzai's disciple?" Dugu Zhiyu was a little surprised.
He knows this Yunqi Valley. In terms of power, it should be comparable to the mid-level power of Luoshen Villa.
The owner of the valley has been practicing in seclusion for more than ten years. Before the retreat, he was in the middle-level Dacheng state. After these years, his cultivation has probably stopped here.
However, there was one person in Yunqi Valley who still had some friendship with him, and that was Tang Qianzai.
Known as the genius disciple who can revitalize Yunqi Valley, Dugu Zhiyu once fought against him when he was young. Between brothers, it was a pity that Yunqi Valley was too small to accommodate him.
However, Tang Qianzai at that time was a child raised by Yunqi Valley. He had feelings for the sect and was unwilling to accept Dugu Zhiyu's solicitation.
It had been twenty years since we last saw each other, and now his disciple was standing in front of Dugu Zhiyu, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Also sighing, it seems that Tang Qianzai figured it out and let his disciples come.
This Black Cloud Sword is Tang Qianzai's weapon. It is the highest quality imperial weapon and is considered the top weapon in the world.
"Okay, okay, even though we have old friendships, when we compete to recruit a bride, we still compete on our own strength!"
Meng Yuanzong nodded, and the other people also had smiles on their faces.
Although everyone was invited by Dugu Zhengxuan and the relationship has been good these days, true ability still needs to be seen on the competition stage.
Dugu Zhiyu's words relieved some of their worries.
I'm afraid that this competition to recruit a bride is predetermined.
As long as they rely on their true abilities, these young talents in the world still have confidence in themselves.
Dugu Zhengxuan then introduced: "This is the young master of Nanyang Mansion's garrison. Congratulations, young master!"
Quan Qinghe's figure was slender and muscular, clearly the result of years of training. His temperament has the coldness of a sword and a hint of the smoke of war, and his eyes are calm and sharp.
At first glance, he looks like an expert in the military.
But I don’t know why people in the army come to participate in martial arts competitions to recruit brides.
However, Luoshen Villa has always had a good relationship with the military. If Quan Qinghe can win, it will be a good thing to bring another military support to Luoshen Villa in the future.
Dugu Zhiyu still nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the young man next to Quan Qinghe who had a completely different temperament from Quan Qinghe.
Dugu Zhengxuan knew what his father meant and immediately introduced him:
"This is Bu Wenwu of Nanchang Prefecture, Brother Bu."
Bu Wenwu was tall and muscular, obviously the result of years of experience in the martial arts world. He was carrying a wide-brimmed hat behind his back, his eyes were deep and firm, but his clothes were a little tattered.
Finding some confusion in his father's eyes, Dugu Zhengxuan opened his mouth and explained:
"Brother Bu walks around the world and doesn't stick to trivial matters. When I turn around, I will take Brother Bu to change clothes."
"No!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Dugu Zhengxuan finished speaking, Bu Wenwu retorted:
"Bu came from a humble background. He was originally a farmer, and later joined a bodyguard agency, and then traveled around the world. This is my true face, and there is no need to hide it!"
Dugu Zhiyu smiled. Such a person is easy to control. There is no backstage behind him. He can pinch him as much as he wants.
Finally, Dugu Zhiyu looked at the last person. This person was actually the one he paid attention to first, but his son seemed to be preparing to save the best for last.
"This is Chongqing Mansion, Linghu Family, Linghu Shicheng!"
Linghu Shicheng smiled and bowed his head.
"I've met Senior Dugu!"
The Linghu family, one of the eight major families!
The other four people all turned their attention to Linghu Shicheng.
Unexpectedly, the person who just came today turned out to be a member of the eight major families.
Didn't it mean that no big influence would participate in this competition to recruit a bride? Why did a member of the eight major families come?
Could it be that this person doesn't have much influence in the Linghu family?
But the next moment, they knew they had guessed wrong.
"Who is your father?"
Dugu Zhiyu asked.
Linghu Shicheng spoke calmly:
"My father, the head of the Linghu family, Linghu Yiqing!"
As soon as these words came out, the pupils of the other four people trembled suddenly, and then Bu Wenwu turned directly to look at Dugu Zhengxuan with questioning eyes.
In the past few days, Dugu Zhengxuan has repeatedly promised that this time it is fair competition.
Don't play with virtuality, just compete with strength!
Unexpectedly, a member of the Eight Great Families came here.
The eight major families, the Linghu family and the Dugu family are collectively called the eight major families.
Is there nothing fishy between these two families?
Feeling the emotional changes of the four people around him, before Dugu Zhengxuan and Dugu Zhiyu could speak, Linghu Shicheng turned around and said with a smile:
"Everyone, listen to me first!"
The four people looked over one after another, wanting to see what Linghu Shicheng had to say.
"Although my Linghu family and the Dugu family are both eight major families.
But there are actually some misunderstandings.
Perhaps people in the world have always talked about the eight major families, and everyone would think that the eight major families are connected by the same spirit.
But it's not.
The Eight Families of Jianghu are the eight established families with the deepest foundations in Jianghu.
Of course, I may be bragging a little bit when I say this, but it is actually the truth.
The eight major families actually don't have much connection with each other.
For example, the relationship between my Linghu family and the Dugu family is at most ordinary business dealings.
Favor?
Not much.
Just like Brother Dugu and Senior Dugu, whom I only met today.
Moreover, I participated in this competition to find a bride for the sake of fairness and justice.
Didn't you say that people from my eight major families are not allowed to participate this time? "
Linghu Shicheng turned around and looked at Dugu Zhiyu.
Dugu Zhiyu shook his head and said:
"Of course there is no such rule."
Linghu Shicheng then turned around and looked at the other four people.
“You are all young talents in the world.
Needless to say, talent.
If you can be favored by Brother Dugu, you will naturally be the best among people. How can you be afraid of competing with me from the so-called eight major families? "
"Of course I'm not afraid of competition!
But I'm afraid that you big families will collude with each other.
In the end we just become your stepping stone! "
Bu Wenwu said.
His words were very direct.
However, Dugu Zhiyu and Dugu Zhengxuan both looked at him with smiles.
Dugu Zhengxuan smiled and said:
"If there is anything fishy about this martial arts competition, Brother Bu can expose it at any time.
Don’t worry that our big forces will be disadvantageous to you this time.
In addition to inviting some big families and powerful people to watch the ceremony, all we invited this time were casual cultivators and elders from all over the world.
The purpose is to be fair, just and open! "
At this point, Bu Wenwu said nothing more and arched his fist, then took two steps back and returned to his original position.
The expressions of the other three people also softened slightly.
"Everyone, I swear by the female general Luo Shen, the ancestor of the Dugu family, that this martial arts competition will be fair, just and open!"
.
“Fart, what is fairness, justice, and openness?
Fair, just and open, why don’t you invite those top sect forces in the righteous way? Don't you invite the other eight families?
Just invite some casual cultivators, what do you think of my sister?
Dugu Zhengxuan, just wait for me!
Dugu Zhiyu, you old man, when my grandfather comes back, he will break your legs! "
"Brother Dugu, why are you so angry so early in the morning?"
As soon as Liu Xing left the room and came to the middle courtyard, he heard Dugu Xuanqing yelling curses there.
