Chapter 12: The Crisis of the Dushi Family
Twelve, the crisis of the Dugu family
Today, the ancient aura of China is thin, hot weapons are prevalent, and most of the sect families of the ancient martial arts inheritance have retreated to seclusion and do not care about the world, but in order to compete for cultivation resources, they are still intrigued in secret. There are two of the most powerful Guwu hermit family www.biquge.info in the nine provinces of South China, one is the Dugu family in southern Anhui, and the other is the Ximen family in Zhejiang and Hangzhou, both of which have a heaven-level (Huajin) peak master sitting in the town, before, the Dugu family has one more heaven-level (Huajin) master than the Ximen family, and there is an incomparably powerful Dugu Nine Swords, so the strength is slightly higher, the Dugu family pays attention to inheritance and does not like disputes, the martial arts world in South China is too calm, and the two families are also at peace; , The restless Ximen family began to move, not only encroaching on the secular resources of the Dugu family, but also aiming at the Dugu Nine Swords, the government has always been unable to control the ancient martial arts family with strong heritage, so as long as the battle between the ancient martial arts family does not affect the life and social order of ordinary people, the government generally does not participate, so the South China martial arts is about to come for a while.
Yellow Mountain in southern Anhui, is one of the five mountains in China, covers an area of 1200 square kilometers, the peak of Yellow Mountain is steep, the strange pine is graceful, the posture of the seventy-two peaks is different, the main peak Lotus Peak is more than 1800 meters above sea level, the dangerous peak and strange stone are known as the reputation of the Yellow Mountain to return and do not look at the mountain, there are poems to praise and say:
The clear water of the far pond is also fragrant,
The Yellow Mountain is ethereal and immortal.
Qionglin Xiao Se cold light purple,
The green mist is thin and chrysanthemum yellow.
The geese pass over the peak and loosen their wings,
Yuan tastes the game fruit and fills the intestines.
Weidan leaves fluttering,
The sky is clear and long.
The Dugu family is hidden in this lofty mountain with a strong aura, Yunfei according to the memory of ten years old, did not sit on the mountain cableway, but along the foot of the abandoned rock wall for many years to hike the mountain, step on the ladder of a hundred clouds, walk a line of sky, around the pine stone path, down the cloud stream, follow the ancient path of Yellow Mountain, through the main peak of the lotus, along the way the wonders of Yellow Mountain as described by Xu Xiake's "Diary of Yellow Mountain": "The stone peak is clamped up piece by piece, the road is like turning between the stones, the plug is chiseled, the steep is leveled, the broken one is erected through the wood, and the hanging one is planted with a ladder. Looking down at the craggy ravine, the maple and pine are alternate, the five colors are draped, and the show is like a picture", it is really the magic of nature, it is steep and peculiar, and it is beautiful. At dusk, Yunfei came to a simple and quiet town, with white walls and black tiles of houses, bluestone paving streets, curling smoke, and farmers returning home, a peaceful and peaceful scene.
Almost arrived at the master's family, Yun Fei was in a quiet mood, not impatient, slowly walking along the street, experiencing the simple folk customs, suddenly, he saw some locals looking at him with strange faces, whispering, it seemed not friendly, it felt strange, Yun Fei had come here with Master when he was ten years old, at that time, the residents of the town were simple and hospitable, and outsiders were smiling and warmly welcoming, which was weird! This is Yunfei's first impression.
Yun Fei casually walked into a small inn on the side of the street, asked for a bowl of wontons, and drank fragrant tea leisurely, observing the surroundings. After Yunfei built the foundation, he had divine consciousness, and then he knew that the exercise that Senior Brother Kongkong taught himself to condense his mental power back then turned out to be a kind of exercise for cultivating divine consciousness, and it was precisely because of the cultivation of divine consciousness that Yunfei did not encounter a bottleneck before when he built the foundation, and he only experienced a thunderstorm when he built the foundation; Now that the foundation building period is complete, Yunfei's divine sense can already cover a radius of 1 kilometer, so Yunfei can easily use his divine sense to explore the situation in and around the small inn.
In the wing room in the backyard of the small inn, the woman who had just received Yunfei said to a middle-aged man sitting on the kang: "His father, there is a strange offspring from the inn, is it a spy from the Ximen family who came to monitor our movements?"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man slapped the table on the kang and said angrily: "It's too much deception!" Our Dugu family did not agree to the marriage between Yu Fei and Ximen Jianren, they coerced and lured, just came to the messenger during the day, gave us an ultimatum, and now sent someone to monitor, it seems that the Ximen family relies on their ancestor to break through to a half-step innate strength, and they really want to do something to the Dugu family, I have to go to the inner gate quickly and tell the patriarch about the situation."
It turned out that the Ximen family had been coveting the Dugu Nine Swords of the Dugu family for a long time, and took advantage of the opportunity of the ancestor to break through, came up with a sinister way, sent someone to the Dugu family to propose marriage, and asked the three generations of the Dugu family to marry the three generations of the Dugu family's eldest grandson, Ximen Jianren.
Dugu Yufei is the leader of the three generations of the Dugu family, not only born beautiful, but also kind-hearted, with excellent qualifications, Gu Wu Xiuwei has also reached the middle stage of dark strength (prefecture level), which is the hope of the family, so the Dugu family rejected this family business.
During the day today, the messenger of the Ximen family sent a letter, saying that the Dugu family's refusal to return to the family was not to put the Ximen ancestor in his eyes, the ancestor was angry, and gave them a day, before ten o'clock tomorrow, if they still did not agree to the marriage, they would hunt with the masters of the Dugu family in the Huangshan Liantai Peak! Under the Liantai Peak is the base camp of the Dugu family, the words imply a threat, this small inn is the entrance station of the outer door of the Dugu family, this middle-aged man is the deacon of the outer door Yu Feiyang, just sent the letter, and saw the person watching, of course very angry.
Yun Fei used his divine sense to investigate what happened just now, and suddenly realized, I said that I felt that the atmosphere was wrong as soon as I entered the town, and it turned out that I was a spy sent by the Ximen family, hey! Why is it always me who gets shot while lying down? Dugu Yufei? Could it be Sister Fei'er? 8 years ago, Yunfei master and apprentice went out to visit the martial arts master once came to live here, Sister Fei'er was 16 years old at the time, was called by the family to take care of Yunfei, she knew Yunfei's life experience, love overflowing, took care of Yunfei meticulously, although only lived for two months, but the two eat, play, sleep, play together, the relationship is quite deep, after leaving, let Yunfei nostalgia for a while. Someone dared to beat Young Sister Ben's idea, Yun Fei was very angry, and the consequences were very serious! It's just that I don't know how the Dugu family survives the crisis in front of them, it's time to identify themselves, Yun Fei got up and came to the backyard.
As soon as Deacon Yu and his wife left the door, they saw the strange offspring they were talking about quietly appearing in the backyard, and immediately looked at him vigilantly, Yun Fei didn't explain much, took out the token, and said indifferently: "Take me into the inner door."
As the deacon of the outer door, Yu Feiyang has seen the copper, silver, and gold tokens of the Dugu family, and when he saw the purple gold token in front of him today, he was horrified, and suddenly remembered the secret of the family, and hurriedly respectfully saluted and said: "I will arrange it, please Mr. later, take out your mobile phone to contact as soon as you finish speaking."
Dugu Shijia is located in the valley of 10 miles west of the town, covers an area of 200 acres, Qing Dynasty Hui school architectural style, high wall compound, blue bricks and green tiles, corridor eaves flying, ancient trees towering to the sky, divided into front and back yards, the front yard is the place where the clansmen and disciples practice and live, the backyard is the place where the family ancestral hall and the elders practice, tonight, the family ancestral hall in the backyard is brightly lit.
Patriarch Duguxing and the four elders were discussing the daytime, Duguxing pointed to the letter and said: "The Ximen family is so insidious, it is expected that we will not agree to the marriage, take the lead, and go to war, in this way, it has become a dispute of the family's will, and the government is not easy to intervene in mediation, the family will face a crisis, how do you think it will be handled, elder?"
The Great Elder, seated on the throne, asked, "What decision did the patriarch decide?"
Dugu Xing said proudly: "If you want to fight, you will fight, our Dugu family never trades the future and happiness of our children"!
The four elders nodded approvingly, and the eldest elder stroked his long beard and said: "The development of the family cannot be counted on such a small path as marriage, let alone show weakness and seek perfection, otherwise it will decline after all, and improving strength is the last word!" According to the patriarch's wishes, tomorrow, we will face the masters of the Simon family here.
The fourth elder said worriedly: "Although the number of disciples of our dark strength has a slight upper hand, according to the intelligence, the Ximen family has invited a cultivator to transform energy, so that they have four transformation strengths and one half-step innate nature, while we only have five transformation strengths, and our strength is obviously insufficient!"
The only woman among the four elders, the second elder, said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother was highly poisoned and his cultivation was stagnant, how could they make the Ximen family chirp crookedly, maybe the siege of the Ten Thousand Poisonous Ghosts back then was the buckle of Ximen Lao'er, and it was the bureau of today's cloth"!
The Great Elder was warn: "What are you afraid of, I Dugu Yuntian has never been afraid of anyone, it's a big deal not to suppress the poison, and everyone will die together, and the poison of the ten thousand poisonous ghosts and ghosts will have to scruple three points!"
The others showed worried looks, the patriarch Duguxing was about to speak, and saw the big housekeeper hurrying over with a mobile phone, his face was full of surprise, the family senior management is holding a meeting here, ordinary people can't bother, who can call? After listening to it for a while, his expression was surprised, and he said to the phone: "Don't make a noise, you drive him yourself and take him directly to the clan ancestral hall in the backyard."
The three elders asked differently: "Who is here, so mysterious"?
Dugu Xing said: "I can't tell you clearly, a strange boy is going to visit the family, and he has the token of the ancestor who has been missing for many years."
The second elder thought for a while and said, "Eight years ago, the ancestor once brought a child to live in the clan, and this young man may be the child back then, the heir of the ancestor."
The four elders took a deep breath and said, "Why didn't the ancestor come, could it be that something happened to him?"
The third elder said gloomily: "The ancestor is old, it is a matter of time before he drives the crane west, if this young man is a disciple of the ancestor, can he be used as a help for us?"
The Great Elder shook his head and said: "No, tomorrow's battle, it will not be enough to transform the strength, only 8 years, no matter how good the young man's qualifications are, he may not be able to achieve the transformation strength, so tomorrow's affairs not only can't let him participate, on the contrary, we have to protect the only heir of the ancestor, maybe the revitalization of the family depends on him."
When he was discussing, the old housekeeper came to report: "Dugu Yufei asks to see"!
Dugu Xing knew her intentions, and wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought that Yu Fei had taken care of the ancestor's closed disciples, and asked her to confirm it, and said to the housekeeper: "Let her in."
The old housekeeper turned around and went out, and after a while, Dugu Yufei, who was wearing a white sportswear, walked into the ancestral hall, saw everyone, and bowed deeply: "Fei'er has seen the elder grandfather, grandmother, and patriarch uncle."
Dugu Xing said gently: "What is the matter with Fei'er coming here?"
"Fei'er already knows the predicament faced by the family, and for the safety of the family, she is willing to marry Na Ximen Jianren." As she spoke, Dugu Yufei's eyes were filled with tears.
"Good boy, you can think about your family and not waste our training, but if you want, we can't agree"! Dugu Yufei wanted to argue, but was stopped by the Great Elder raising his hand, and then said: "Marriage does not make the family stable and long-lasting, on the contrary, it lets them know that we are weak and can be bullied, this is not the style of our Dugu family!" You don't have any worries, cultivate well, pass on the family's martial arts, strength is king."
Dugu Xing also said: "The Great Elder is right, we don't rely on bullshit marriages to enhance our strength, you don't have to worry about this, someone will come in a while, you can help us confirm whether he is the disciple of the ancestor back then!"
Dugu Yufei was confused when she heard it, so she let herself recognize people?
At this time, Deacon Yu personally drove Yun Fei in a BMW, Yun Fei maintained his cultivation at the peak of his dark strength, and wanted to observe the Dugu family's attitude towards himself and his ability to deal with the crisis, the car entered the backyard, he used his divine sense to see all the process of Dugu Yufei coming in, and nodded secretly, most of the families did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests, future and happiness of their children for the development of the family, but the master's family had a long-term vision, was not afraid of strong enemies, and acted differently.
Hearing the sound of the brakes, everyone greeted them, and when they saw the teenager who got out of the car, they didn't know what to call it, especially Dugu Yufei had a sense of familiarity with the people who came, and was stunned, Yunfei said: "Come into the house and talk." Everyone flew into the house with the clouds, and Dugu Xing turned around and explained to Deacon: "Don't make a noise about this matter, you go back and stand by"; And Yun Fei deliberately glanced at Sister Fei'er who was following behind everyone.
Coming to the ancestral hall, Yunfei asked, "Who are you members of the family?"
Dugu Xing hurriedly introduced Yunfei one by one, and finally asked: "Shaoxia is ,,,"?
Yun Fei handed the token to the Great Elder at the head and said, "Dugu Crane Closed Disciple Yun Fei."
The ancient martial arts world pays the most attention to the etiquette of seniority, knowing Yunfei's identity, everyone in the Dugu family, under the leadership of the great elder, hurriedly bowed to Yunfei: "I have seen Uncle Zu"!
Yun Fei waved his hand to stop: "No need to be polite." Then he opened his backpack, respectfully took out the master's spirit card and said, "Yun Fei is ordered by the master to invite the master's spirit card back to the family." The eyes of the Great Elder and the others were moist, and they respectfully took the spirit card, put it on the ancestral hall bookcase, and turned around and said, "Uncle Zu, please rest for a while, wait for us to prepare the sacrifices, and then you will preside over the spirit card return ceremony."
"Okay, find me a quiet room to rest in."
"Fei'er took Uncle Zu to rest in the other courtyard." Dugu Xing commanded, and at the same time asked Dugu Yufei with his eyes, is this person the boy back then?
Dugu Yufei nodded and said, "Fei'er takes the order"! Leave with Yunfei.
"How's his cultivation?" Waiting for the two to leave, the four elders couldn't wait to ask.
"The peak of dark energy, good qualifications"! The Great Elder said with infinite emotion.
"In that case, we must protect the lone seedling of the ancestor, and we have to find a way to get him out of here tomorrow." The four elders said.
"If he just came and let him go, will he misunderstand that we don't accept him"? The attentive Second Elder said.
"Yes, I want him to leave this place, but I can't let him misunderstand or be suspicious, I have to think of a suitable reason, it seems that he is a person who values feelings, if he knows the crisis of the family, he will definitely stay"! The Great Elder said worriedly.
Dugu Xing thought for a while, and said with a cunning look of a big bad wolf on his face: "Look at him dressed plainly, like he has been cultivating in the mountains all the year round, he has never seen anything in the world, otherwise, let Fei'er take him out of the city tomorrow on the grounds of taking him to the city to play."
"Just do it, even if he misunderstands and we don't accept him, there's no way, it's better than falling here"! The Great Elder made the final decision, and everyone went separately to prepare the ritual utensils.
Dugu Yufei took Yun Fei to an independent courtyard in the backyard to rest, along the way by the moonlight to look at this terrifying younger brother, the scene of playing together flashed in front of him, feeling extremely warm and close, time flies so fast, the little trickster of the year has now grown into a big boy who is a head taller than himself. Yu Fei gently took Yun Fei's hand and said, "Brother Yun Fei, do you remember me?"
"Of course I remember, how can I forget such a beautiful sister"!
"Poor mouth, go, I'll take you to the bath and rest" pulled Yun Fei into the courtyard, his eyes flashed with tears in the moonlight, I don't know whether he was happy or sad, which made Yun Fei's heart tremble.
This courtyard 8 years ago Yun Fei lived, located in the deepest part of the valley, bamboo and wood structure, three bedrooms, one living room and one bath, the hall hung with the master Dugu Crane handwritten by Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty "Burrow Ming", the bookcase is placed on a pair of zither, a pair of Go and a set of four treasures of the study, simple and chic, quiet and elegant. Yu Fei took Yun Fei to the bathroom, put hot water for him, looked at Yun Fei's clothes and pants that peasant children often wear, his eyes were red, his younger brother has been cultivating in the mountains since he was a child, and he doesn't know how much he has suffered. Turned around and picked up the phone in the hall, asked the old housekeeper Fu Bo to send some clothes, returned to the bathroom, and saw Yun Fei was closing his eyes, soaking in hot water comfortably, hesitated for a moment, Ying Ying withdrew from the white sportswear, revealing a pink three-point underwear, because of the practice of martial arts, the body is fit, the skin is fair, the chest is full, and the jade feet are exquisite, Yun Fei opened his eyes when he heard the voice, staring at Yu Fei, stunned.
"What do you see, I've never seen a beautiful woman, didn't my sister let you see it when I was a child"! Yu Fei's face flushed when she saw it, and she said angrily, and she came to the marble pool next to Yun Fei and sat down, picked up the spray and shampoo to wash Yun Fei's hair. It's strange to say, although they haven't seen each other for many years, there is no barrier between the two, and they are naturally as close as sisters and brothers.
Yun Fei was stunned just now not because he saw Sister Fei'er's beautiful carcass, but suddenly found that Sister Fei'er turned out to be a single water vein water spirit body, one of the Five Elements Flag, it seems that his trip to Huangshan must have gained a lot, and the closeness between the two turned out to be because of their physique attracting!
The two of them washed while talking, Yu Fei's depressed mood in the past few days has become much more cheerful, and she sighed secretly: How good it would be to live like this carefree! At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door.
Yu Fei: "Come in"!
The old butler walked in with a set of new clothes, gently placed them on the wardrobe in the bathroom, and said, "The Great Elder said that the preparations have been completed, please ask Uncle Zu to preside over the ceremony."
"Okay, I'll go right away". Yunfei replied, seeing the new clothes placed on the wardrobe, he frowned and said, "I have my own clothes, I don't need these."
The old housekeeper looked at Yu Fei, and Yu Fei said, "I asked Fu Bo to bring the clothes, and I will preside over the ceremony in a while, brother, you have to dress solemnly." Yunfei didn't object again, but just explained: "Put my clothes away, and I will wear them when I leave." Fauber took his old clothes and left.
Yun Fei stood up naked and dressed, Yu Fei is a post-90s generation, and her concept is relatively open, so she is naturally looking at Yun Fei's smooth body shape, blowing can break the skin, and the little Yun Fei who is on his waist, his face is red, and he said in his heart: This little bastard is in good shape, and the guy is not small, I don't know which beauty will be cheaper in the future! I got up and put on my clothes.
In the ancestral hall of the Dugu family, on the offering of the ancestral tablet, there are fruits, cakes and tributes such as chickens, ducks, fish, pig heads, etc., the red candles with two arms thick are burning, and the incense burner is inserted with tribute incense, the great elder led more than 30 direct descendants of the Dugu family to stand in the hall according to their seniority, the two came in, Yu Fei walked back to his position and stood up, Yunfei walked to the front of the confession, at this time, the hall was silent, except for a few people who knew Yunfei's identity, everyone was curious, who is this person? The young man was not like him, but the elders and patriarchs were very respectful to him.
Yun Fei respectfully put three incense sticks on the spiritual seat of the ancestor of the Dugu family, and then knelt on the ground, and said loudly with three kowtows: "The ancestors of the Dugu family, the disciple Yun Fei returned to the ancestors of the spiritual position of the family teacher Dugu He, the family teacher Dugu He was born on July 15, 26 years of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, and died without illness on June 30, 2012, at the age of 168, the 42nd generation of family martial arts, the congenital master, his life has gone through the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and Washington, and he has been for the country and the people. The spirit returns to the family"! After speaking, he stood up after kowtowing three times again, glanced around the hall, and said, "Seniors salute"! Under the leadership of the Great Elder, the Dugu children had a serious face, and went over in three batches to kowtow, and then, the Great Elder respectfully put the spirit card of Dugu Crane on the position of family worship according to the generation, and then the incense and paper burning, and it was nearly midnight at the end of the ceremony.
Everyone gave Yun Fei a big gift again, but there was no way, Yun Fei's seniority was too high, and finally everyone dispersed. Dugu Xing took the opportunity of the Great Elder to talk to Yun Fei, pulled Yu Fei aside, and said: "Fei'er, tomorrow there will be a battle between the Dugu family and the Ximen family, in order to protect the incense vein of the ancestor, you will take Yun Fei to Huangshan City tomorrow on the grounds of taking Yun Fei to play, and don't tell you not to come back." Yu Fei hurriedly said: "No, uncle, the incident started because of me, I want to stay and fight side by side with you"! Dugu Xing lovingly touched Yu Fei's head and said, "Child, obedient, do you think Yunfei has something wrong?" Yu Fei still wanted to argue, but when she heard that this matter was related to Yunfei's safety, she hesitated for a moment and agreed. Dugu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and advised: "Remember, don't tell the family's current predicament and make Uncle Zu suspicious, tomorrow you will go from the cloud cave in the back mountain, and I will arrange for Deacon Yu to drive you to pick you up."
