Chapter 33: The Past of the Tang Gate
There is Tang in the Tang Gate, which really has something to do with the Tang Dynasty in history, but the earliest point in time did not appear in the Tang Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Tang Dynasty collapsed in 907 AD, and Chinese history entered the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms.
Although the dynasty is gone, but the remnants of the royal descendants in the various wars are scattered, after the Later Liang, in 923 AD, Tang Zhuangzong Li Cunqiao established the Later Tang Kingdom, the imperial capital is located in Luoyang, but unfortunately in 936 AD, it was overthrown by the Later Jin army led by Shi Jingjiao, the ancestor of the Jin Dynasty.
Some history books say that Tang Zhuangzong Li Cunqiao was forced to drink poisoned wine by Shi Jingjiao and died, and then Shi Jingjiao killed all the royal family, including women and children, to prevent future troubles. In fact, before Li Cunqiao died, he exchanged a secret for the life of his youngest prince.
Of course, this life is conditional, at that time, people believed in sacrifices, there were royal sacrifices in the court, and if the oath and curse were made in front of the sacrifice, it was called ancient beliefs, and they first believed in it, which was very serious.
Both generations of emperors swore an oath in front of the royal high priest, and Li Cunqiao swore that he would explain the secret clearly and guarantee that the ten generations would not take revenge. Shi Jingjiao swore that he would let the little prince live, and the high priest would be responsible for leading it, and he would live incognito with the martial arts cheats for self-protection.
Since then, the only royal bloodline has been hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and changed his surname, no longer surnamed Li, perhaps to commemorate, simply surnamed Tang, since then there is a Tang family inherited by the times. This is the legend of the origin of the Tang Gate.
In modern society, the Tang Gate is still there, and today's Tang Gate is located in the Daba Mountain in Kawashige City. Surrounded by mountains, Tangmen lives in the mountains. Tangmen covers an area of 100 acres and thousands of acres of fertile land. The traditional pattern of the four mansions and eight courtyards, the walls of the mansion are high, and the four corner towers enclose a small city, surrounded by clouds and mist, always a beautiful scenery isolated from the world, and outsiders can not look at the scenery inside the wall. There is a stone archway in front of the main gate, that is, the east gate. In the middle of the archway is engraved with two Zhu Di big characters "Tang Gate".
The Tangmen in Shuzhong is not a Jianghu sect, nor is it a secret gang, but a super family. This family has been in the Kawanaka family for more than a thousand years and is known for its ability to use hidden weapons.
The dog's blood drama can also reflect the hot and cold state of the world, where there are sects, there must be ups and downs, and within the big family, there must be disputes. Since Mu Lao was determined to choose Zhang Dali, he also opened up and slowly explained the story to Zhang Dali, without concealing the privacy of these families at all.
More than 200 years ago, it was the period when the Tang family was prosperous again, and something happened suddenly.
At that time, the heir of the head of the family, who was in retreat and penance, went crazy, and the old head at that time tried his best to save the heir, and finally saved the heir's life, but that's all, the heir was still unconscious. In a hurry, within a few days, the old master who ran out of oil and lamps also passed away, and he didn't have time to appoint a new heir.
There are many people who covet the position of the head of the family, and the family rules have always only recognized the designation of the previous head of the family to the new head of the family.
As a result, the three most promising people showed their skills and did their best, and soon formed three different forces within the family, one was Tang Duanqiao of the senior uncle's generation, one was the eldest disciple Qiao Ye, and the other was Tang Huan, the eldest son of the old family master.
It stands to reason that although Qiao Ye is a big disciple, he is a foreign surname after all, and he has no chance of inheriting the head of the family. But Qiao Ye was adopted by the coincidence of his hometown host, and he regarded it as his own, not to mention that there were many people with foreign surnames in the Tang family, and Qiao Ye was also very prestigious among his peers and brothers, so he had the confidence to compete.
Tang Duanqiao is also very special, at that time, in the Tang Sect, the old comrades have not survived much, and the rest are old arms and legs, and there is no idea of supporting the spokesperson, only Tang Duanqiao is young, good skills, and good eloquence, and he has won the support of most of the old comrades when he walks around in front of other old comrades.
Tang Huan has been traveling and practicing all year round, to be precise, this time he came back to mourn after receiving the news. As a result, seeing that in the dispute between Tang Duanqiao and Qiao Ye, many young people surnamed Tang were implicated and suppressed, and they were angry, so Tang Huan also joined the battle for the position with everyone's support.
With the development and change of the situation, Tang Huan gradually came from behind, after all, the Chinese nation has had the traditional habit of inheriting the father's business since ancient times, and many people gradually turned their respect for the old family owner into a blind wish and transferred it to Tang Huan.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, Tang Duanqiao, who was in charge of the Law Enforcement Yuan, wisely avoided the sensitive topic of "who should be orthodox", diverted everyone's attention, and questioned the direction of Qiao Ye and Tang Huan's major exercises.
Tang Duanqiao first took out the rubbings of the martial arts secrets handed down by the high priest back then, accusing Qiao Ye of "Strength and Strength" and Tang Huan of "Cultivating Weapons with Poison" of both detaching from the authenticity of the Tang Sect and can only be regarded as a partial door, and Tang Duanqiao's own "dual cultivation of strength and weapons" is the only right way.
Not to mention, this controversy over the direction of cultivation that has been hidden under the Tang Sect's desktop has really been completely detonated by Tang Xuanqiao. The controversy became more and more practiced, and Qiao Ye's family gradually became the weakest. The unwilling Qiao Ye, at the instigation of the people around him, finally made an extreme move and occupied the only way to the clan tomb - Gongbi Cave.
There are rules in the Tang Gate, and the head of the family in the past world will take office and swear to feast on the guests of the rivers and lakes, and drop a drop of blood in public, and fall into the tomb of the ancestors of the high priest, in order to express gratitude for the merit of saving and opening the Tang Gate. Now that Qiao Ye occupies the Gongbi Cave Library, it means that Tang Duanqiao and Tang Huan, no one can think of a successful coronation.
Here is still arguing about whether it is a powerful hand or a strong foot, but someone over there has been choked by the neck early, is this worth it?! Finally, the bad verbal dispute was secretly turned into a fist and foot battle between swords and guns, and the three families gathered in the Gongfa cave, and a big war broke out.
I can't remember exactly how many people were involved at that time, and the only thing that can be found in the genealogical record is that in the end, the two parties compromised. Why did the two sides compromise? Because even Tang Duanqiao himself died inside. There were only 11 people alive who could come out of the cave.
The Tang Broken Bridge series was destroyed, and the Tang Gate also suffered heavy losses, many people died, and then many branches were expelled from the courtyard of the old mansion in Daba Mountain, Tang Gate. These expelled branches, although they are also recognized as the Tang Sect to the outside world, are no longer the core of the Tang Sect, and their development over the past hundred years has become weaker and weaker, and it seems that it is a matter of time before they completely disappear.
And Tang Yunuo's family was a branch that was finally given up because of the lack of support for Qiao Ye's family. And Mu Lao, who was a master when he was young, got into trouble and was chased and killed by many parties, and was later rescued by Tang Yunuo's great-grandfather, so he simply joined the Tang family incognito.
Looking back at the compromise between the two parties back then. As a result of the compromise, from then on, the Tang Gate was divided into two major departments, namely the "Red Tang" and the "White Tang". The Bai Tang Dynasty people who insist on "strong instrument cultivation" are all disciples and descendants of Qiao Ye, and they usually dress and prefer white.
On the contrary, the Red Tang Dynasty team that supported the "poison cultivation device" were all Tang Huan's descendants and disciples, preferring red dress, and even the hidden weapon had a special blood-red mark.
So who will be the head of the house in the end? The two sides agreed that Tang Huan, the eldest son of the old family master, would be the first to show respect for the old family master, and then take turns to sit in the village for two terms each by the two families, and then set up Jinxiu Academy, and senior disciples could directly enter Jinxiu Temple.
Outstanding disciples with potential, whether they are from the Tang Sect or from the expelled branches, can participate in the "Dead Warrior Blood Training" once every 3 years, and those who pass the test can also be included in the Jinxiu Academy.
Jinxiuyuan is the cornerstone of the future play of the Tang Sect, and it is also the elite level of the younger generation, so the future heir to the head of the Tang family will be voted by all the members of the Jinxiu Academy from this courtyard, and the one with the highest vote will live.
The blood training of the dead soldier, the danger is self-evident, first of all, it is necessary to have a dead soldier, and this dead soldier, of course, is not the person who breaks through the level, just to let the passer pass the test smoothly in the thrilling sparring partner. To put it bluntly, most of the interlopers have to step on the corpses of the dead to have a chance to win.
Since it is basically destined to sparring to death, there is no big temptation and big motive, who wants to run over and die if there is nothing to do?! And the people surnamed Tang are also decreasing with the generations, don't say if you are afraid of dying or not, you can't afford to die like this.
Therefore, all parties have formed a tacit understanding, and most of the dead people found are people with foreign surnames, and more are recruited from the outside world, of course, the price paid is also quite high.
Now, I don't know whether this luck is good or bad has fallen from the sky, so it is placed in front of Zhang Dali, after looking for so long, Tang Yunuo Tang family has never found a satisfactory person according to the standards of the dead, but Mu Lao has found one, that is, Zhang Dali.
There is indeed a standard for a dead soldier who can become a sparring partner. To sum it up simply, it is 12 words and 6 words -- "strong, dual, alert, lonely, martial, and daring to die."
To be strong is to be physically strong, and the greater the strength, the better. Duality, that is, the dead soldier must have a different gender from the interlocutor, which is really different. To be clever is to be clever, and if you die early, you will die in vain, and you will also trap the interlocutors.
For loneliness, that is, it must be an orphan, since it is a dead soldier, it is best for both parties to have no worries, so as to save the trouble of extraneous branches, Mu Lao Ke investigated Zhang Dali very early, Zhang Dali is an orphan. If you have martial arts, you have to have martial arts skills, it's not good to be too high, it's easy to have different intentions, and you can use martial arts to deal with a beast. It's simple to dare to die, you can afford to die, don't escape, don't collapse, you can fight for your life, and you dare to exchange your life for your life.
The young men and women who participated in the breakthrough, the men were called Jinshi, and the women were called Xiushi, and so on, and passed the test and were successfully included in Jinxiuyuan, and the men lived in Jinyuan and were called Jinshi, and the women lived in Xiuyuan and were called Xiushi. About 10 months later, it will be the breakthrough period of the Tang Gate's 3-year blood training of the dead.
The past of the Tang Sect is still the same, and the fate of the great force is worrying. At this time, facing Mu Lao, Zhang Dali shook his head secretly while listening, and suddenly summed up one of his mottos in his heart: do the worst in everything, risk and opportunity coexist, and never bow to fate!
"Mu Lao, I know so much about the privacy of the Tang Sect, does it mean that if I say no, knowing the secret is the same as a dead end?"
