Chapter 25: The Iron Father

For most cultivators, the older they get, the deeper they practice, the more powerful the supernatural powers they can use. However, in terms of the Iron Gate, the situation is diametrically opposite, the essence of the Iron Gate Martial Arts is actually a way to stimulate the potential of the Jiuli bloodline, so its power depends on the user's ** function to a large extent.

Thirty to forty years old is the golden stage of human functioning, so the Iron Gate warrior at this age is in the most powerful moment of his life. Once they are over forty years old, with the decline of their functions, their strength will also decline sharply, and no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to reverse the situation.

In the past, there were many people in the Iron Gate who could not bear the impact of losing their strength and chose to die by self-determination, which is quite cruel as a law of nature. Because of this, the patriarch of the Iron Family has always been a strong man over thirty years old, and he will automatically retire as soon as he is over forty years old.

The patriarch of this generation of Iron Gate is Tie Wuji, the younger brother of Tie Wudao, the father of Tie Lan, who defeated many competitors five years ago and ascended to the position of patriarch, and has continued to this day. It is worth mentioning that Tie Tao, the father of Yihao, is actually the half-brother of Tie Wuji and Tie Wudao, because his mother is not the direct bloodline of the Tie family, so he has also lost the qualification to compete for the position of patriarch.

As for the third-generation Yihao, there is only a quarter of the Jiuli bloodline left, so it is natural that he will be rejected by the Iron Gate. However, in addition to this, the two uncles Tie Wudao and Tie Wuji took good care of him. As for the people who often wandered around at that time, my father was not as kind as these two.

"It's not ...... Kunlun's cloud and mist hair peak? Tsk is worthy of being a fairy in tea! In Tie Wuji's study, Tie Tao was leaning on the Taishi chair with a teacup, savoring the fragrant tea in the cup. With a fascinated expression. "Second brother, how did you get this thing? How about sharing a pound or two with me later? ”

"Come less. I've asked Linlang several times. When I went back to my parents' house this time, she brought me less than three or two pounds, and as soon as you opened your mouth, you would like two or three catties, so you just ask your sister-in-law to go. Tie Wuji put down the scroll in his hand, and moved his gaze to the sphinx on the tableβ€”this was a specialty that Tie Tao had brought to him after returning from a trip to Egypt, but it was really a bit nondescript in the antique study.

"Speaking of which, haven't you gone back to see Yihao yet?" Tie Wuji looked at his brother with a headache. Then he moved his gaze in a certain direction outside the window. "I don't know what has become of that kid in the past few years. Why did you suddenly run to the underworld to bring Yuhime out...... What to do now, you teach me. ”

"It has nothing to do with me anyway." Tie Tao put down the teacup and simply cleared up the relationship. "It was the ancestor who set the rules of the Tie family, and it was the second brother who served as the head of the Tie family, and I was just a foreign descendant who had no power to restrain the chicken. It's useless to ask me about this kind of thing. ”

"That's right......" Tie Wuji smiled bitterly. But why did you suddenly remember to come back this time? ”

"There's just a desire to come back and see what my future daughter-in-law looks like." Tie Tao pretended to shrug his shoulders indifferently, but Tie Wuji's side seemed to be quite shocked. "What? What do you mean...... Yihao: Has he found a wife? ”

"Probably right? It sounds like a pretty well-behaved girl on the phone. I don't know what the the kid thinks, anyway, I'm not going to object! "It's like he's expecting something interesting, but on the other hand, Tie Wuji is in distress." Hmm, hmm, I'm still going to let Lan'er marry him in another year, isn't it completely hopeless now? ”

"Lan'er......" Lan'er is the nickname of the elders for Tie Lan, and Tie Tao smiled bitterly when he heard this. I don't know how the eldest brother educated her in the first place, Lan'er's personality is too strong, I think there are probably not many men who dare to marry her as a wife, right? If you put it in the iron gate, it will be even less. ”

"That's why I'm going to marry her to Yihao, if you can't even handle it, I guess no one in this world can do it......"

"That's right." Tie Tao nodded and diverted the topic. "But you're really idle, second brother, is it that the position of the patriarch is now only left to manage the eugenics of the younger generations?"

"Who said that, I'm just thinking about something else and relaxing a little......" Tie Wuji sighed, sat back in his chair, picked up a dossier, looked at the information on it, and frowned. Xu Lie's matter alone is enough for me to have a headache, and now I also add Youji, sometimes I really want to let this son sit with my eldest brother or you! ”

"What's wrong with Huriyo?" Tie Tao ignored the last complaint.

"You know that kid is the eldest brother's apprentice, right?" Tie Wuji raised the file in his hand. "Recently, the number of injured people in the Iron Gate training has suddenly increased by three or five times, and it was all done by that kid alone. The disciples who didn't know that Liushou and his practice were all sent to the hospital, and even the least injured people lay in the hospital for a full week. Now I've banned him from the exercises, and I don't know if it works......"

"How is that possible? I remember that kid wasn't that strong, right? In Tie Tao's cognition, although Xu Lie's qualifications are not mediocre, but to say that his excellence is quite limited, it is really hard to imagine that he can cause such damage.

"That's what I'm worried about!" Tie Wuji slammed the table, but his tone was lightened, as if he was afraid of being heard by someone. "You also know the reason why he left the Iron Gate, big brother. Xu Lie is an apprentice taught by the eldest brother, and I am afraid that he will follow the same path as the eldest brother......"

"Wait, wait! Isn't it dangerous to say that my family is also dangerous? Sure enough, it was the father and son who heard Tie Tao here, and interrupted Tie Wuji's words in a panic.

"Yes, it's possible, but ......," Tie Wuji tapped his fingers on his forehead, showing a laughing expression. As far as I know, your little ghost has completely abandoned his cultivation in the past few years! So you don't have to worry about him going down the wrong path...... That being said, there seem to be a lot of ghosts on his side, and even that Shaodong in Tianfu is also mixed with him. If you don't discipline him well, I'm going to drag him to the Iron Mansion to discipline him, right? ”

"Well, that's a problem......" Tie Tao was silent for a few seconds, and then made a decision with a flick of his fingers. Okay, let this kid stay with his mother for a while! Words of discipline for children. Better than I am! ”

"Go," Iron Wuji groaned as he pressed his head. "I said you can't just take a bit

Knock knock.

At this time, there was a soft knock on the door, and it was Tielan who was waiting outside the door for the patriarch to summon him. Tie Wuji quickly put away his casual appearance. Picking up a file, pretending to be a serious reader, he shouted in a voice that seemed to be careless. "Come in."

"Tut, pretending to be the patriarch, is it really decent......" Tie Tao muttered quietly underground, but it attracted Tie Wuji's angry eyes, and at this moment, Tie Lan pushed the door and entered. Lan'er brought Yihao here. Uncle. ”

"Well, Yihao. We haven't seen each other in half a year, have we? You...... Oh, it seems to have changed a lot. Tie Wuji narrowed his eyes and looked at his nephew, who seemed to be still lacking in motivation before, but there seemed to be an indescribable change, not just obvious things like strength or temperament. It's about a deeper change.

"Yihao has seen his uncle...... Huh? Dad! Bowing his head and saluting, Yihao suddenly appeared in the corner of his sight, and his voice rose sharply.

"Yo son. Long time no see! How's it going? Tie Tao showed an enthusiastic smile, waved his hand to greet Yihao, and then began to look left and right. By the way, where is my dear daughter-in-law? I heard that she came with you, why didn't you see anyone? I came back to see her. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I left Jingyu outside. For some reason, Yihao suddenly felt a little powerless.

"What? You actually left that delicate girl out there alone! Tie Tao almost jumped when he heard this. Darn! Don't you know what this place is? It's a group of long-ascetic beasts imprisoned here! If you leave Jingyu outside, you won't be afraid...... Ahh ”

was hit on the head by the file, Tie Tao held his head and shrank back.

"Very good, this time I finally heard your sincere words, your evaluation of the iron gate is really interesting......" Tie Wuji looked at Tie Tao angrily and moved his gaze to Yihao. Forget it, let's get straight to the point, Yihao...... As for how you brought Youji out, I already know from Lan'er, because you didn't know that the relationship between the Tie family and the Jiuli clan was an unintentional mistake, so Tiemen will not pursue this matter. ”

"Thank you for your hospitality." Yihao bowed to Tie Wuji, and he had received a lot of care from this uncle since before, and it was a matter of course that he was grateful.

"Don't thank me, don't be too happy." Tie Wuji waved his hand. "One person does things and one person should be, since you took Youji out of the underworld, of course, I still want you to send her back, this is my request to you, I am not allowed to shirk."

"Hmm......" Yihao scratched his head and looked distressed. Can't the second uncle just let her stay on the ground and live? To be honest, the road I took her out of is now impassable, and other places are guarded by Tianfu, and there is no way to send her down! ”

"I don't care what I ask, I just want you to send her back." Tie Wuji waved his hand, ignoring Yihao's bitterness, and then his tone turned stern. "Stinky boy, you still don't know what Youji means to the Jiuli clan, that is the spokesperson of the gods in the mortal world, and the center of the faith of the people of Jiuli! The Tie family's side is a little better, but if you bring the people's Youji to the ground, the people of Jiuli are likely to kill all the way to the ground, do you want to set off another bloody storm in this Kyushu divine land? ”

"Well, it's not that Heaven guards the gateway to the underworld...... Ahh ”

Tie Wuji is another dossier thrown out the head of Yihao.

"Bastard! Then do you want to see the people of Jiuli strewn corpses in front of the portal of the underworld? Don't forget that you have the same blood in your vein! ”

"No, I didn't ......," Yihao was about to say something, but after thinking about it, he gave up and shrugged his shoulders and lowered his head. I know, I'll find a way to send her back, but the sooner the better, right? ”

"That's right, the sooner the better." Tie Wuji nodded, showing a satisfied expression, and then fell into deep thought, frowning, as if he was thinking about something. Yihao and the others didn't dare to interfere, and they fell silent, and for a while, only the sound of the index finger tapping on the table was left in the room.

The atmosphere is getting more and more tense, and people unconsciously hold their breath. In this silence that seemed to freeze, Tie Wuji raised his head, his gaze swept over Yihao and Tielan standing beside him, and finally stopped at Yihao's body again.

The majestic voice of "Yihao" made Yihao a little nervous, but the next question was a little inexplicable. "What do you think of Lan'er?"

"How's that...... What how? Not only Yihao, but even Tielan also showed a confused expression.

"In other words, what do you think of Lan'er......" Looking at the two young people who were still confused, Tie Wuji touched his chin, and finally asked directly. Let's put it this way, if you marry Lan'er to you, will you accept it or reject it? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Huh? Yihao showed an expression as if he had been knocked on a stick for a moment, and looked at Tie Wuji blankly, while Tie Lan was about to react quickly, but at the same time, his face turned red. Uncle! Youβ€”how can you ......?"

"There's nothing you can't do, according to the rules set by the ancestors, the women of the Iron Family should get married and have a son as soon as they reach the age of eighteen, Lan'er, you are almost twenty years old now, even if you are Youji, it's time for you to think about marriage." Tie Wuji raised his face and reprimanded Tie Lan. "If my eldest brother is not here, I will have to take responsibility for taking good care of you, so I am not allowed to protest this matter!"

"Wait, wait!" It was Ren Yihao who protested, and he advocated this with a fierce voice. "Second uncle, I already have a quiet rain!"

"That's not a problem!" With a wave of his hand, Iron Wuji solved his problem very simply. "The Tie family is the descendant of the people of Jiuli, and the laws of the mortal world cannot bind the Tie family. You must know that if your grandfather hadn't married two wives, your kid would never have had a chance to come to this world......"

"Uncle!" Tie Lan stepped forward, and the surging "qi" instantly filled the room, and it seemed that she was really angry. "We'll take care of the matter between me and Yihao! You don't have to worry about it! ”

"That's what I said, but......" Tetsu Wuji was about to say something, but then he seemed to notice something, and suddenly laughed and nodded repeatedly. Is that so, you already have a 'thing'...... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ”
