Chapter 3: The Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance
"Grandpa, I see you've been talking to him for a long time, what are you talking about?" Tang Qiushui asked Tang Jifeng curiously.
She hadn't seen her grandfather take the initiative to chat with a young man, and she had been chatting for so long, could it be that grandpa was really bored because he had waited for a long time, or that there was really something special about this Li Jingwei? Even if Li Jingwei had just broken through the realm and entered the early stage of the realm of selflessness, he wouldn't let grandpa be like this.
"The afterlife is terrifying. Tang Swift Wind answered the question. "I haven't met a young person with such talent for many years, and he has stepped into a realm of selflessness at a young age, and his future is limitless. Its Tai Chi realm may surpass Zhang Longcheng of Wudang. ”
"As for it?" Tang Qiushui muttered, a little unconvinced. What's wrong with the realm of selflessness, there are several of my fathers and uncles who are in the realm of selflessness! In time, I can also enter the realm of selflessness, but I just lack an opportunity.
Looking at himself as a granddaughter, Tang Jinfeng shook his head speechlessly. This granddaughter of mine is delicate and intelligent, and she is also very perceptive in cultivation, but she lacks some natural understanding in her character. He casually handed the business card to Tang Qiushui and said, "Take a look for yourself." ”
"Ahh , a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology? It can't be a business card casually printed by this rich second generation, right?" Although Tang Qiushui is not a fashionista, he still recognizes Li Jingwei's casual clothes from the Italian handmade custom master Cesa Ottrini.
Unlike well-known brands like Armani, Cesar Aultrini only tailors clothes for royalty, Western heads of state, and the richest and richest.
India's steel magnate once said that if he wore a Cesar Aortrini outfit, he didn't want to wear anything else. In Tang Qiushui's view, Li Jingwei cannot be self-made, he must be the rich second generation of a certain family.
"Rich second generation? Hehe! Qiushui, have you forgotten the Chinese mathematician who has been in full swing in the past few years according to the media? It is the Chinese who has solved the Erdsh difference problem that has plagued the mathematical community for more than 80 years, and his name is Li Jingwei. You might as well go to the MIT website and search for a house, it should be him. Tang Qifeng said slowly, "Moreover, he may be a rich second generation, but that costume must not have been bought by himself, and he doesn't even know the price of that customized costume." ”
Li Jingwei would never have thought that Tang Jifeng would be able to make such an accurate judgment based on only a short conversation and observation.
He almost never bought clothes himself, and his mother basically bought them before he came to the United States. After coming to the United States, my mother sometimes bought it, but more often Zhao Yici bought it and sent it to him, and the same is true of the one on his body, he had no idea that this costume would be worth millions of yuan.
"It's really him. Tang Qiushui has already found Li Jingwei's information from the Internet.
"Do you know how old he is?" Tang said again, "Hehe, 21 years old. The 21-year-old tenured professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has also stepped into a realm of selflessness. It's unique, it's definitely an amazing character. ”
When the plane arrived at Puhai International Airport, it was already early the next morning. As soon as Li Jingwei got off the plane, he didn't care about saying goodbye to Tang Jifeng, so he rushed out of the airport, got into the car driven by Uncle Wei, who was already waiting at the airport, and rushed directly to the hospital.
"Uncle Wei, what's wrong with my grandfather?" As soon as he got in the car, Li Jingwei couldn't wait to ask.
"The old man is not in a good state, I can't rest assured of you, I hope to see you again. While driving, he replied, looked at Li Jingwei, paused for a moment, and said, "Jingwei, you broke through?" The old man will be very happy to see it. ”
"Yes, Uncle Wei. That is, yesterday, I met a master while waiting for the plane, and I was favored by him, and I broke through by chance. Speaking of which, it's all luck. ”
"Luck may be partly involved, but more importantly you have extraordinary talent and heart. The old man can't be wrong about this. ”
"Isn't my grandfather's health always good?
"The old man said that this is a fixed number, that is, fate. Speaking of this, Uncle Wei was also sad and shed tears.
Uncle Wei's full name is Wei Gongquan, who was doing business in Southeast Asia in his early years, was attacked by enemies, lost his wife and son, and was seriously injured himself, almost losing his life. happened to be rescued by my grandfather who traveled here, and then everything was lost, and I was grateful for my grandfather's life-saving grace, so I have been following my grandfather's side.
For more than 20 years, Uncle Wei has become a member of this family. Although his grandfather also hoped that Uncle Wei would start a family in the future, he could never forget his past wife and was unwilling to start a family again. 's father originally planned to let Li Jingwei recognize Uncle Wei as his godfather, but Uncle Wei was worried that he would bring bad luck to Li Jingwei and was unwilling. However, for Li Jingwei, he really loves him and treats him as his own.
Li Jingwei was also sad in his heart, and tears flowed silently. There was a moment of silence in the car.
After arriving at the hospital, Li Jingwei went straight to the ward. Grandpa was lying on the bed, on a drip, and his face was obviously thinner than Li Jingwei remembered. Father Li Wenzhuo and mother Xiao Lin saw Li Jingwei come in and signaled him not to speak, and if he had something to say, he would go outside first. Li Jingwei was about to leave the ward, when he suddenly heard his grandfather lying on the bed say, "Is Jingwei back?"
Li Jingwei turned around and found that the outsider was looking at him, looking very painful, but he was forcing a smile. Li Jingwei felt sad like a knife again, and tears couldn't help rolling down. "Grandpa, I'm back. Li Jingwei walked quickly to the bed and grabbed his grandfather's hand tightly.
"Well... Okay...", my grandfather said with relief, "Wen Zhuo, Linlin, you haven't rested all night, go back and rest first, I'll talk to Jingwei." ”
Li Wenzhuo and Xiao Lin glanced at each other. Xiao Lin seemed to ask to stay, Li Wenzhuo shook his head slightly, and pulled her out.
"Grandpa, how good are you just saying two 'good' words?" Li Jingwei didn't want his grandfather to see his grief and sadness, so he joked with his grandfather.
One is that you came back to see your grandfather, which is very good, and the other is that you broke through into the realm of selflessness, which is very good. Grandpa scolded with a smile, "Grandpa originally didn't want you to practice Tai Chi, but only hoped that you could live your own life in good health." With great power comes great responsibility. Unintentionally planted willows and willows. I didn't expect you to not only cultivate, but also enter the realm of selflessness so quickly. I'm almost 50 years old before I reach selflessness. is today's martial arts genius Zhang Yuanpeng, and he didn't enter the realm of selflessness until he was 35 years old. I'm getting worse and worse off of you. ”
"Grandpa, how do you describe a super super genius like me now?" Your grandson is a demon, what are you worried about?" Li Jingwei said with a deliberately hippie smile, hoping that his grandfather would be happy. "Of course, no matter how evil you are, you can't escape the palm of your Buddha, right?"
"Stinky boy, help me shake the bed up a bit. ”
Li Jingwei helped his grandfather adjust his posture, and his emotions calmed down a little, and he couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, how can this be? ”
"Alas, my grandfather was also too strong and competitive back then, and he left a hidden illness in his cultivation. Zhuge Qingxuan said five years ago that I don't think I can pass the hurdle of being eighty-three years old. Unless there is a miracle. ”
"Hidden diseases are shed in cultivation, how can this be?"
"The nations of the world often have their own guardians. The Chinese nation is no exception, and the Xuanyuan Dragon League is such an organization. Everyone who has achieved cultivation can choose to voluntarily join the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance, or they can choose not to join. But once you join, you will always be a member of the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance, and you can't quit until you die. And to join it means to take responsibility, and of course, to enjoy a certain amount of resources and power. Each sect has a different division of cultivation realms, and as far as Tai Chi is concerned, only those who have stepped into the realm of selflessness are eligible to apply to join. This is what my grandfather just said, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The vast majority of people, in their lifetime, will not reach the realm of joining the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance. ”
Grandpa paused for a moment and continued, "It is a supreme honor to join the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance and become the guardian of the Chinese nation. Therefore, although it is not mandatory, basically cultivators who have reached the realm will choose to join. Grandpa knows that you have your own choices and the right to choose, but he still hopes that you can take on this responsibility. ”
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. Grandpa, if I need to take responsibility, I will definitely take it. It's just that everyone who joins the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance, what exactly does they need to do, and how do they apply to join?"
"It's easy to apply to join. For example, if you have reached the realm of selflessness now, as long as there are two more members of the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance to advance, you can join after passing the review. Although the application process is simple, the review is very strict, including not only the realm of cultivation attained, but also the conduct and so on. After joining the Xuanyuan Dragon League, there is no need to do anything in normal times, because under normal circumstances, the state apparatus can ensure the safety of the Chinese nation, and only in critical moments or special circumstances does the Xuanyuan Dragon League need to intervene. Therefore, the members of the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance, except for the 9 members of the Council of Elders, all have their own jobs, and even sit in the eyes of others for inconspicuous jobs. Now, the eight hundred and seventy-nine members of the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance are scattered all over the world, and it is only at the five-year general meeting of the alliance that everyone will get together to communicate. ”
"Only 879?" Li Jingwei didn't answer, how could there be more than 800 people in China's more than 1 billion people.
"You think it's all shit luck like you, and you have stepped into the realm of selflessness in a daze. Didn't I just say that many people have a hard time making it in their lifetimes. Of course, there are also cultivators who have reached the corresponding realm, but they are unwilling to get too involved in the mundane world and have not made an application, but it should not be too much. Grandpa snorted coldly.
"I'm also 1 percent talent, plus 99 percent hard training, okay? Do you think I'm just doing it casually? Saying this, Li Jingwei himself was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't want to be scolded by his grandfather anymore, so he immediately asked again, "So how many people have reached the realm of transforming gods?"
"Different schools of cultivation have different realms. There are no more than three people who have reached the realm of transforming into gods, Huixian Shitai of Emei, Elder Zhitong of Shaolin Temple Dharma Academy, and Ye Xingfo of Kunlun Mountain, all of whom are unborn masters, and few people know how powerful they are. Even a half-step god realm master like Wudang Zhang Longcheng should not be more than two hands. ”
The outsider asked Li Jingwei to bring a glass of water, took a few sips, and continued, "I haven't told you too much about this before, mainly because I don't want you to get involved in such a life." Moreover, I didn't expect you to step into selflessness so quickly. Now, now that you've got one foot in it, I'm going to give you a detailed explanation. ”
