Chapter 61: The Eight Poles
Muyuan Qingbai, Miao Tang Chengyun, this is the eight families of Annan County.
It's hard to say how many years ago it began, several families took root here, then multiplied, and then, step by step, developed into the "Eight Greats".
Influenced by some internal and external factors, these eight families gathered together in order to reduce disputes and enhance their strength, and established a sect, which was called "Bajitang".
The Baji Hall is closed to the outside world and only accepts the children of these eight families.
Internally, the eight schools are treated equally, no matter which of the eight is stronger, which is weaker, which is a little stronger, which is a little outrageous, and which is so weak that it is on the verge of ruin.
A thousand years is a long time, even for a cultivator.
For such a long time, it is not that there have been no turmoil, and one of them, a certain family has a character who is not born in the world, and then this family also has ideas that should not be born.
It wants to take over the entire Eight Poles Hall with one generation of eight.
At this time, the patriarchs of this family collectively opposed, against their head of the family, against their pride.
It's not a collective, after all, there are still many people who agree with the head of the family.
But the opposition is not small.
Outside, the opposition of the other seven families, no matter how much opposition there is, no matter how loud the voice, this family head doesn't care, but so many clan elders in his own family oppose it, he can't help but care.
He can also drive out these clan elders.
But then, the family will inevitably split.
I don't know what kind of accident I went through, but in the end, the head of the family took some of the people close to him and went to Shangzhou to develop, leaving a sentence: "They are mediocre and decrepit! ”
Thousands of years have passed.
The family that was separated had a glorious history, and it was still quite prosperous.
But there are booms and falls.
Decay to the extreme, vanished.
And here, Annam County, the county seat, and the eight families have all had ups and downs in a long period of time, not to mention, some have fallen to the family for several generations, and there are no top characters.
If it is in the outside world, then in fact, this family is already in ruins.
But here, there is the Eight Poles.
Bajitang, treat everyone equally.
Even if you're ruined to the extreme!
As long as you are one of the eight families, as long as there are still people in your family!
Then for each generation, there is a fixed amount of children.
Cultivate with all your might!
No matter the cost!
Every family has had its ups and downs, and then a consensus was forged and unbreakable.
At this point, the eight great families re-established the contract and reaffirmed the purpose -
The Eight Poles Hall is the Eight Poles Hall of the Eight Families, and without any of them, it cannot be tolerated. That means the incompetence of all the Maisons, as well as betrayal.
Rebel against the sky, rebel against the earth, rebel against the ancestors, and rebel against the ancestors.
In the course of a thousand years, other large and small families in the county town of Annan, as well as emerging forces and scattered cultivators, formed another sect, Sihaimen.
Sihaimen is open to the public and has a pretty good reputation.
In view of its "inclusive" tendency, over a long period of time, its momentum has not been inferior to that of the Eight Extremes, or even surpassed in some aspects, but within it, all its families and scattered cultivators have risen and fallen like other forces in the world.
If it starts, it will be big, and if it falls, it will be ruined.
It is difficult to live for a long time, and the dilapidation cannot be continued.
The iron four sea gates, the flowing water family and scattered cultivation.
In this way, among the forces of Annam, Bajitang and Sihaimen are like twin peaks facing each other, but their styles are very different.
And they rarely intersect with each other, most of the time.
You take your Yangguan Road, and I cross my single-plank bridge.
Yachido.
There is one head of the church, seven deputy heads of the hall, and twenty-four deacons.
These thirty-two people are the core and master of the Eight Pole Hall, responsible for all the internal and external affairs of the Eight Pole Hall.
On this day, in the Dongshan Mountain Domain, in the Eight Poles Ridge.
"So, it was Xu Yishan who personally summoned you?"
The one who said this was the current hall master of the Baji Hall, Cheng Shao'an, who was born into a family, and was also a person in the ground level.
"Yes, the condition given by Xu Yishan is cooperation, and he has also vacated a courtyard on Dongzheng Street, and his meaning has been clearly expressed. Deputy Hall Master Yuan Shan Dao said.
"The courtyard of Dongzheng Street?" Cheng Shaoan was surprised.
"Yes, and it happens to be on the edge of the courtyard where I live temporarily, and I don't know what Lao Xu is thinking. Yuanshan said with a smile, "I have analyzed with Lao Mu, and his opinion is the same as mine, this should be Xu Yishan's long money and want to fish." ”
"Are you sure there's someone behind you?" Cheng Shao'an said.
"I'm not sure if anyone has it, but the recipe is really not ordinary, not like something that Annan-gun can have. Yuanshan Dao's sentence is a bit meaningful.
And the meaning of his words, of course Cheng Shaoan understands.
It's not like something that can be found in Annam-gun, it's outside.
And the outside related to Qingshui City......
There's only one place.
Western Xinjiang.
But when the two discussed this topic next, they also fell into a similar situation as Xu Yishan and them that day.
"Lao Mu and I can't figure this out either. Yuan Shan Dao said, "If this recipe didn't come from the Western Frontier, it shouldn't have appeared in Qingshui City at all. If it did come from the Western Frontier, then it should only be in Qingshui City, not in the county town, and in such a ridiculous way. ”
"Did you send someone to Qingshui City to investigate?"
"Go, not only us, but also the County Shoufu, Zihua Pavilion, Yaoshitang, Mingshan Sect, Chaoshan Sect, Lanshui Sect, and Sihaimen, all sent people. Motoyama said with a smile.
"This is the gathering of the seven major sects, hehe. Cheng Shaoan also smiled strangely, "How many years have the seven sects not been so 'united'. - What do you and Lao Mu mean?"
He didn't ask about the results of the investigation.
Since Yuanshan Dao didn't say it, it was naturally no useful result.
"I'm going to get up close to it myself. Yuan Shan Dao said, "Don't they live on the side, new neighbors have moved over, and I, as an old neighbor, have come to visit and visit, right?"
"Haha. Cheng Shaoan pointed at him and smiled, "Lao Yuan, this is wronged by you." ”
"I can't talk about grievances, I estimate that the courtyard will be as lively as Qingshui City for a while in the future. Yuanshan Dao said.
"That cooperation...... Is it possible for us to get involved?" Cheng Shaoan groaned.
"The Medicine Master Hall must have participated, and the Zihua Pavilion is still uncertain. Yuanshan Dao also groaned, "It's not difficult to get that formula, but it doesn't make any sense, and it's impossible for us to bypass the Medicine Master Hall." ”
"This is the key to the key, Lao Yuan, what is the effect of that formula?"
Cheng Shao'an often retreats, and just came out of the customs yesterday.
"I asked the children in the Medicine Master's Hall, and the answer they gave me was that they didn't understand Gan Congshi. Yuan Shan Dao said with a strange expression.
"Lao Gan, not only do you not understand the prescription, but you also don't understand the effect?" Cheng Shaoan was really surprised.
"Yes, Lao Mu and I and some other people have also tasted it, that soup, it is very fresh, very fragrant, and delicious, but that's it, after drinking it, there is no aura reaction. ”
Without any aura reaction, that's a mortal thing.
This nailed the hierarchy.
Not high!
It's not worth taking too seriously!
But this was only the first half of Yuanshan Dao's words, and after a pause, he said again: "After drinking it once, I still want to drink it a second time." ”
"Old wood, they too. ”
