Supreme Golden Pupils - Chapter 636 The Ling Family's History

"The Ling family really has a long history. These houses cannot be faked. They are all authentic ancient buildings. However, the number seems to be a little less. There are one or two hundred Ling family children who have appeared, and there are probably more who have not appeared. These few houses are not enough, are there other houses scattered elsewhere?"

How keen is Ling Shaonan's vision?He can tell at a glance that these buildings are all ancient relics that have really experienced the erosion of time and wind, and are not imitated for the purpose of developing tourism resources like some places.From this point alone, it can be seen that the Ling family is worthy of being a big family with a long history, this is the foundation.

"This is a place to receive foreigners. The children of the Ling family usually live in the mountainside. Although the Ling family hides from the world, there are many close friends and friends for more than a thousand years. There must be a place to welcome guests." Feeling Ling Shaonan's expression There was a hint of doubt in the room, Ling Zhongze explained softly to him from the side.

I see!Ling Shaonan nodded clearly.He was a little surprised before that Beiman Mountain is not a remote mountain and old forest like Shennongjia. In ancient times, it was nothing more than that. In a modern society with advanced information and satellites flying all over the sky, how could it be possible that at least a few hundred Ling family children live here? Not to be discovered by the outside world?

Now what Ling Zhongze said makes sense. They usually live in the middle of the mountain without showing their faces, and the few houses outside will not be eye-catching. With China's long history and prosperous culture, it is known as "born in the mountains". In Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in the depths of the mountains known as "Beimang", it is quite normal that several temples, Taoist temples and other historic sites appear.In addition, the Ling family has been in business for so many years, and the influence in Luoyang and even in the west of Henan is estimated to be deeply ingrained. It is normal for outsiders to not find out by using the power of officials to cover it up.

At that moment, Ling Shaonan nodded, and didn't say anything more. He looked around, admiring the surrounding verdant forest environment, feeling the quiet and quiet atmosphere. The rich ancient style and ancient charm made his heavy mind relax a lot.

Along a stone-paved, mossy, mossy, winding mountain road about seven or eight meters wide, Ling Zhongze didn't stop when passing the houses, but went around directly until the last hall It stopped nearby.However, he still didn't enter it, but came to the mountain wall behind the main hall, stretched out his hand and patted an inconspicuous place in the corner, and his true energy was printed on the mountain wall through the palm of his hand. There is a special rhythm and rhythm, Ling Shaonan can feel that with Ling Zhongze's slapping, something seems to be slowly moving inside the mountain wall.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, accompanied by a deep "squeak" sound, the originally tight mountain wall was slowly cracked, and a portal with a width of four meters and a height of more than three meters appeared, revealing a slanting downward. Extended channel.

"What a delicate mechanism!" Even with a heavy heart, Ling Shaonan couldn't help but secretly praised it in his heart.The art of mechanisms was prevalent in ancient China, and its origin can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period at least 2000 years ago. However, with the changes of the times, like many splendid ancient cultures, the art of mechanisms has gradually disappeared in the long river of history. Not to mention construction, there are very few institutions that can be seen in real life, at least Ling Shaonan has never seen them before, and he did not expect to open his eyes here.He could vaguely feel that within the mountain wall, the complexity of this mechanism was by no means inferior to the precision machinery produced by modern technology!

From this, Ling Shaonan also knew why he had never found any traces of the Ling family during his travels in the sky. With his strength at that time, he really couldn't find this secret place hidden deep in the heart of the mountain.Looking closer and further away, it is estimated that there are still many secrets in this world that he does not know. Those real big families and powerful forces will not put all their power on the surface. Although the situation of hollowing out a mountain may not be There is a second one, but it's not too difficult to set up an underground base or something.

After opening the mechanism channel, Ling Zhongze didn't say much, nodded to Ling Shaonan with a slight tilt of his head, and then walked straight down, and Ling Shaonan didn't hesitate, and followed closely.For Ling Shaonan, rashly entering a completely unfamiliar place, and it is still someone else's territory, even if his strength is superhuman, is a bit risky, and for Ling Zhongze, bringing a master who met for the first time into the fundamental place that has been passed down by the family for more than a thousand years is also a risk. It seems a little reckless.

This seemed unbelievable, but it happened so naturally, they all seemed to have done a trivial thing, as if nothing had happened.Also, this is the wonderful effect brought about by the indelible family affection deep in the blood.

After entering the passage and walking not far, Ling Shaonan felt suddenly enlightened. What appeared in front of him was a large square with an area of ​​several thousand square meters. Around the square, there were rooms carved into the mountain. And know.

What a great deal!It's like hollowing out the whole mountain!You know, Ling Shaonan took a rough look when he came in just now, and the diameter of this mountain at the middle of the mountain is more than 200 meters, less than 300 meters!

When they came here, except for Ling Zhongze and Ling Qiyan, the other children of the Ling family silently bowed to them and then quickly dispersed. Although they were curious, the Ling family had strict rules, so they didn't dare to say too much. Inquire, and dare not continue to follow without the permission of the Patriarch.

However, just when most of the people had already left, Ling Zhongze suddenly stopped a few of them: "Yun Xiao, Yun Hao, come with me, Yan Zong, Yan Ting, Yan Yun, Yan Xun, you too Come here together. Oh, Patriarch Su and Ms. Su, this matter has something to do with you too, please move on for a while."

"Yes, Father!"

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Except for two middle-aged people whose names were called by Ling Zhongze, the others were all young people in their twenties. The oldest one was five or six years older than Ling Shaonan, and the youngest one was probably older than Ling Shaonan. Still young.Judging from their address and respectful attitude, they should be the most direct line of the Ling family.

However, Ling Shaonan was a little confused as to why Ling Zhongze called Su Yan and her father together. From the fact that they were brought directly into the mountainside, it can be seen that the relationship between the Su family and the Ling family is quite close, but the next thing to say Doesn't seem to have anything to do with them?He glanced at the father and daughter in surprise, but Ling Shaonan didn't ask any further questions, he would naturally know later.

In fact, not only Ling Shaonan, but even Su Huan himself didn't know why Mr. Ling called him. However, he is the Patriarch of the Su family who dominates the pass after all. His eyes swept over his daughter and took another look. Ling Shaonan, who was expressionless, paused especially on his chest, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and a smile soon formed on the corner of his mouth.

After stopping these people, Ling Zhongze and Ling Qiyan did not stop at this floor, but came to a corner of the square and walked down the spiral steps.Ling Shaonan, who hadn't asked any questions, noticed that the floor on the upper floor was about three to four meters thick. Supported by a thick stone pillar.And under the floor, there is another floor with a height of more than ten meters, which is even much larger than the upper floor!

In this way, more than a dozen people went deeper and deeper. When the steps finally came to the end, they had gone through as many as twelve floors, at least 150 meters deep!You know, the entrance they came in was halfway up the hill, only about 100 meters above the ground, that is to say, all the people had already come under the ground at this time!

Building such a huge project in the middle of the mountain, and obviously not relying on mechanical power, is simply a huge miracle. I don't know how many generations of the Ling family have spent their efforts, and it took hundreds of years to complete it. !Even Ling Shaonan couldn't help trembling in his heart at this moment.

The bottom floor is not the same as the upper one, the area is not too big, except for a small square of more than [-] square meters in the middle, there are more than a dozen stone chambers.After arriving here, Ling Zhongze didn't stop in his footsteps, and led everyone straight to the opposite room in the middle.

After entering, Ling Shaonan found that this room was arranged to look like a main hall, but it was obviously not a place for receiving guests, but a place where the senior members of the Ling family gathered for business, because the layout here was very simple, except for the central and two sides There was nothing but a dozen or so chairs, not even a superfluous ornament.

However, Ling Shaonan discovered that the chairs placed here are all made of authentic mahogany, which seem to have a history of thousands of years, full of the heavy feeling of historical accumulation, just taking out any one is enough to drive the relevant collectors crazy It was so popular that even when he looked at it, he couldn't help showing a gleam of splendor, but now is obviously not the time to study these things, so the splendor disappeared without a trace after a flash.

After entering this hall, Ling Zhongze and Ling Qiyan finally stopped and turned around, but neither of them sat down on the main seat in the middle, but stood facing Ling Shaonan, their eyes fixed on him .Especially Ling Zhongze, the excitement that had been suppressed all the way finally burst out, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

Facing the gazes of the two, Ling Shaonan had nothing, just stood straight and looked at them quietly, but if you look carefully, you can find that the heaviness in his eyes seems to be slowly dissipating, as if being melted by something generally.

Finally, after standing still for a few minutes, Ling Zhongze spoke tremblingly, but instead of addressing Ling Shaonan, he turned to the two middle-aged men standing aside with their hands down: "Yun Xiao, Yun Hao, this is Yun Yao and Yunsu's child, your nephew who has been missing for 20 years!"
