22. Door-to-door challenge

"How is it different, don't the people in the village dream? Won't their quilts get dirty either? Zhang Zhen lowered his head and replied shyly.

"No, I'm talking about development. Just for you. Sun Laohan was afraid that Zhang Zhen would think about it, so he didn't say anything else, so he said it directly.

"You are a member of the Geng family, the purest Geng family. So you inherited the Geng family's genes. There is the oldest blood in the body. Some of the recent changes in you have have to do with this bloodline, which is part of the family's mission.

Over the years, there have been many people who will not get through it easily. Those who go out from Geng's house will choose one of the children they gave birth to and send them back to Gengzhuang. The child sent back has always been left to fend for himself, and he will not have a good life. On the one hand, it is to exercise the instinct to adapt to life, and on the other hand, it is also to test whether it can really survive this hurdle.

Many people who are sent back will have such changes in their bodies at the age of fifteen, and some will die if they can't survive it. You're lucky! ”

Zhang Zhen was frightened and angry when he heard this. immediately questioned Sun Laohan: "Isn't this a joke with human life?" What kind of family mission makes people so mad? Does no one care? This is murder! ”

Sun Laohan also expected Zhang Zhen to be so excited, looking at Zhang Zhen who was blushing. Sun Laohan walked over unhurriedly and patted him on the shoulder to let him relax. Then he said, "If the destiny of heaven is like this, how can manpower be changed?" Besides, there is a shocking secret hidden behind such a legendary background. How could it be ruined just because one or two people died?"

Zhang Zhen looked at Sun Laohan's calm appearance, the fire in his stomach was rushing out, he couldn't stand such superstitions. He stood up and said loudly, "Since I am like this, is my next generation destined to be like this?" What if I don't leave Gengzhuang? Is this the end of this ridiculous mission? ”

Sun Laohan didn't expect Zhang Zhen to say such a thing. He was a little angry and said, "How can you have such an idea?" Even if you give up your mission, there will be the next one for you. This is not something you can change alone, if you continue, you can only be like Geng Ya. ”

Geng Ya? What happened to Geng Ya? Could it be that Geng Ya is also the one who carries out this secret mission? Zhang Zhen heard what Sun Laohan said about Geng Ya, and immediately stopped talking. Waiting for Sun Laohan to continue.

Sun Laohan saw that Zhang Zhen was a little calmer, and sighed.

Then he said: "Since you have said it, you can simply say it." It's the guy you kicked and injured last night, he's Geng Ya, who, like you, was sent to Geng Zhuang more than sixty years ago. When he reached the age of fifteen, he suffered the same pain as you.

But he survived, and he had the same strength and speed as you. Even better than you. After that, he was taken out by the master and learned a lot of things. But he is not as lazy as you, as I said earlier, he couldn't bear to be lonely, and later joined the army to fight, and then went to Japan.

After coming from Japan, Master told him the secret of his origins. When he learned all this just now, he was even more excited than you, after all, there were many different concepts that influenced him over the years. He gave up on fulfilling his family mission, he did not marry a wife and have children, and wanted to use this way to oppose his mission.

I never saw him again, and it wasn't until he showed up in Gengzhuang last night that it occurred to me that he might never have given up on his mission. He may be hiding in or near this village. Specifically to sabotage the family's mission, or to find out more details about this secret! After all, no one knows what the secret is! ”

Sun Laohan's words caught Zhang Zhen by surprise. Geng Ya, that thief, how could it be? If he is like himself, then does he also have the ability to recall the past clearly in his head, and can see through objects? What's even more ridiculous is that they don't even know what the secret they have been guarding for generations is?

Zhang Zhen heard Sun Laohan say so much, and he couldn't tell Sun Laohan's intentions for a while, was he good or evil? Zhang Zhen didn't know if Sun Laohan knew that he had a special ability, since he didn't ask, then don't say it yet. When the time comes, it will be clear.

Sun Laohan continued: "If you choose the same path as Geng Ya, then you can only be lonely for the rest of your life. Because as long as you give birth to a child, the child will also suffer this level, which cannot be changed by man. ”

Zhang Zhen felt that the more Sun Laohan said, the more outrageous it became, and he didn't want to listen to it anymore. He turned around and walked to the door. "Even if I was destined to be alone, I wouldn't choose to do this!" It's ridiculous, I didn't even know what I was guarding for hundreds of years! ”

Sun Laohan didn't stop Zhang Zhen either, he knew that this kind of thing was only good if Zhang Zhen figured it out himself. Others can't persuade them. But what can make him willingly adhere to this so-called family mission?

Sun Laohan picked up the stick that Zhang Zhen put next to the stove, that is, the stick that Geng Ya dropped last night. said to Zhang Zhen: "You take this thing, and come to me when you figure it out." ”

Sun Laohan threw the stick at Zhang Zhen after saying that, and Zhang Zhen did not entangle with Sun Laohan. He took the stick and went down the mountain.

Li Gen under the mountain did not go to his master to make a small report, since he had already understood Sun Laohan's intentions, he was not so angry in his heart. He was waiting for Zhang Zhen at the bottom of the mountain.

Seeing Zhang Zhen coming down angrily, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked what happened.

Zhang Zhen doesn't say anything like Li Gen, even if Zhang Lei is his best friend, but Sun Laohan said these things, he thinks it's better not to tell Zhang Lei. Zhang Zhen didn't know what to say, so he shook his head and kept silent.

Zhang Lei saw that Zhang Zhen didn't say anything, so he guessed: "That old man won't have a crush on you, does he want you to be his grandson-in-law?" ”

Zhang Lei just looked at Zhang Zhen and didn't react after speaking, so he added: "No, no, if you are your grandson-in-law, you should be happy." Why do you have this expression? He shouldn't be asking you to be his apprentice again, right? ”

Zhang Zhen didn't bother to make up any lies, he nodded when he heard Zhang Lei say this.

Zhang Lei saw Zhang Zhen nodding and immediately laughed. While laughing, he said, "Is this old man Sun crazy if he wants to accept apprentices?" Whoever you see will take it. But that's fine, I'll talk to my master when the time comes, and see what my master says. Hahaha! ”

Zhang Zhen knew that Zhang Lei's heart actually wanted to learn kung fu from Sun Laohan, of course, Zhang Lei's master was not bad, but compared with Sun Laohan, it was really dwarfed. This Lei has practiced a basic kung fu over the years, and he has today's ability by virtue of his diligence and intelligence. However, with Zhang Lei's talent, he should be able to go to the next level.

Zhang Zhen has not been a person with strong traditional concepts since he was a child, he understands Zhang Lei's thoughts, so he wants to help Zhang Lei.

After listening to Zhang Lei's words, Zhang Zhen didn't say much. I had a plan in my head, and then I picked up Zhang Lei and went home.

Zhang Zhen pulled Zhang Lei and went directly to Zhang Lei's master's house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhang Lingfeng feeding the dog, a black dog, bigger than the "small" of Zhang Zhen's family. I don't know what the reason is, the Zhang family in Gengzhuang all raise dogs, and they all like to raise big dogs. Each dog has its own name, and the dog in Zhang Lingfeng's family is called "Huzi".

Huzi was eating, and when he heard someone coming in, he yelled twice, and when he saw Zhang Lei, he stopped screaming and continued to eat. Zhang Lingfeng saw that Zhang Zhen and the others were displeased, and guessed in his heart that they were also in trouble. He stood up and asked them what was wrong.

Zhang Lei was afraid of his master, so he naturally didn't dare to say Sun Laohan's original words. But Zhang Zhen is not Zhang Lingfeng's apprentice, and he is the same generation as Zhang Lingfeng according to his generation. He didn't have any scruples, so he repeated what Sun Laohan said in front of Zhang Lingfeng. At the same time, it also added oil and vinegar. His purpose is very clear, that is, to make Zhang Lingfeng angry and go to the invincible Sun Laohan for questioning.

What is surprising is that after Zhang Lingfeng listened to Zhang Zhen's words, he did not get as angry as he expected. There was no look of exasperation other than a surprised expression. In order to establish the facts. He cautiously asked Zhang Lei a few more questions. Then he stopped talking and walked around the yard with his head down.

Zhang Zhen was puzzled, how could Zhang Lingfeng, who had a hot temper on weekdays, become so docile at this time. Listening to such provocative words, I can be so calm.

Zhang Lingfeng walked back and forth in the courtyard for a few minutes, and then said to Zhang Lei: "You go and call your junior brothers, let's go to Sun's house together!" ”

Zhang Lingfeng said very calmly, not like he was going to come to the door to fight. Zhang Zhen didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhang Lingfeng's gourd. Zhang Lei listened to the master's words, and naturally did not dare to slack off. hurriedly ran out and called Zhang Lingfeng's other apprentices.

Zhang Lingfeng is in his forties, and he doesn't have many apprentices. Zhang Lei was the first apprentice he accepted, and the next few were even younger than Zhang Lei. plus Zhang Lei, a total of four people.

Zhang Lei didn't take a few minutes to call out all Zhang Lingfeng's apprentices, and when Zhang Lingfeng saw that the apprentices had arrived, he took everyone to Sun's house.

Sun Laohan, who lived halfway up the mountain, was like an unpredictable prophet, he knew that Zhang Lingfeng had come to the door. He was not flustered, lying on a back chair and basking in the sun in the yard.

Zhang Zhen watched Zhang Lingfeng walk into the door of Sun's house with a few people in a menacing manner, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart. He kind of regretted that he shouldn't have added to it. Just said what Sun Laohan said, Zhang Lingfeng probably wouldn't be like this.

But the words have already been spoken, what's the use of regretting it? Zhang Zhen didn't want to do anything in his heart, and followed Zhang Lingfeng and his group in.

Zhang Lingfeng saw that Sun Laohan was very polite, and said with a fist salute: "Master Sun is a master, and he has been incognito in this poor country for so long. It's also me, a mortal with clumsy eyes, who can't see Mount Tai with eyes. But even if the rotten wood is lit, there are three points of anger, you can look down on me, but you can't say that my kung fu is stinky shit! I'm going to ask my predecessors for a statement today! ”

Sun Laohan listened to Zhang Lingfeng's words, and sat on the stool without standing up. Squinted his eyes and glanced at the menacing crowd, and at the same time saw Zhang Zhen, who was a little unnatural following Zhang Lingfeng. I immediately understood what was going on. But he didn't say anything, since he had already come to the door, there must be a result.

Sun Laohan still looked disdainful, with the same aura as when he met the man in black last night. He sat leisurely on the stool, but exuded a strong murderous aura. So that everyone in the yard did not dare to speak. One by one, they waited for Sun Laohan's reply.

It took a long time for Sun Laohan to open his eyes. looked at Zhang Lingfeng and said, "I said this, what do you want?" ”

Zhang Lingfeng has been teaching his disciples for so many years, but he rarely practices anymore. The body is no longer as vigorous as it was back then. But the foundation is there, and besides, he is now fat, even if he is beaten, he can last for more than ten minutes. He looked at Sun Laohan's invincible appearance, and the plan he had thought of in his heart suddenly became messed up. He took out the anger of the time when he walked the rivers and lakes, and said loudly: "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip away." I don't believe how capable you are? It is said that boxing is afraid of being less strong, and the two of us are years apart. But if you think you're good, then I'm not taking advantage of you! ”

The apprentices standing behind him were also practicing some basic skills one by one, and except for Zhang Lei, they had not seen any big scenes of martial arts competitions. Seeing that the master was angry, they were all nervous.

Zhang Zhen listened to Zhang Lingfeng's words, and had some other thoughts in his heart. Don't look at Sun Laohan, but with the skills he showed last night and yesterday, it will not be easy to be defeated by Zhang Lingfeng. Besides, what Zhang Lingfeng said just now obviously meant to retreat without a fight, and he was psychologically afraid of Sun Laohan.

Zhang Lei, who was standing on the side, listened to the master's martial arts competition, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart. It's very messy, on the one hand, he looks like a master, and on the other hand, he is afraid that Sun Laohan and Master will be injured. He admired both of them immensely, and he was not happy that either one was injured.

Sun Laohan still looked indifferent, and listened to Zhang Lingfeng. He waved his hand and said, "Well, if you want to fight, you can come together." Don't say anything about being afraid of being less strong, and I won't say that you are bullying less with more. When the time comes, don't say that I can bully the small. ”

Sun Laohan's words were very arrogant, and although the few apprentices standing behind Zhang Lingfeng were nervous, their fists were clenched. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, if it weren't for his master standing in front of him, he would probably have gone up and started fighting.

Zhang Lingfeng was a little weak in his heart, he had seen Sun Laohan's skills. Although he only saw such a movement, he concluded that Sun Laohan's skills were. He originally thought that he would fight by himself, and even if he couldn't fight, he would be able to protect himself, but the apprentices were too young. Except for Zhang Lei, he has never competed in martial arts, and it would be too undeserved to suffer a loss when the time comes.

Zhang Lingfeng thought about it and said, "That's it, you look down on us so much." One of my apprentices and I fight with you. Isn't that good? ”

Zhang Lingfeng glanced at Zhang Lei as he spoke, and Zhang Lei also nodded at his master, indicating that there was no problem.

Sun Laohan listened to Zhang Lingfeng's words, laughed out loud, and then said: "If you want to fight, you can fight, why do you say so much nonsense." Do you want to pull the kid behind you? ”

Sun Laohan was referring to Zhang Zhen. When Zhang Zhen heard Sun Laohan mention him, he took a step forward, always ready to fight.

Zhang Lingfeng stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Zhen and whispered, "Zhenzhen retreats." Standing with them, we have nothing to do. ”

Zhang Zhen is not Zhang Lingfeng's apprentice, if he is injured by Sun Laohan, Zhang Lingfeng will not be able to explain to Zhang Datou.

After saying a lot, Zhang Lingfeng and Zhang Lei began to gear up, preparing to fight with Sun Laohan.

Sun Laohan got up from the stool, took off his upper clothes, and wore only a cotton coat underneath. Then step by step down the steps. said to Zhang Lingfeng: "Since ancient times, I have no eyes in my fists and feet, and I am conceited of life and death. ”
