XXVII. Family Mission

After listening to Zhang Zhen's words, Sun Laohan's heart fluctuated. He has also experienced such an age, and he has also been naïve and simple. Not everyone has to accept the family mission as soon as they are born, even if it is the arrangement of fate, then everyone has the right to choose their own life.

Zhang Zhen doesn't choose this path now, but he doesn't know what the belief of his ancestors has adhered to for the time being, and when he understands all this, he will naturally be able to accept it, which needs to give him time to accept.

Sun Laohan just made a small show for them tonight, and he didn't think about letting them swallow "Xuedan" willingly. Even if these two children want to swallow it on the spur of the moment, then they have to look at the actual situation before making plans.

According to the results of the current observations, Zhang Zhen has the ability to adapt to "Xuedan", but Zhang Lei is far from it. If you forcibly swallow it, it will definitely be a mess. Sun Laohan has waited for so many years, and he is not in a hurry for this moment and a half, he is ready to observe for a few more days, and then make a decision when the situation is clear.

This night, Sun Laohan didn't plan to teach them anything, but just gave them a test, and by the way, popularized the sect's knowledge for them.

In ancient times, people who practiced martial arts had their own sect. No matter how big or small the sect is, no matter what the strength is. All represent the inheritance of a kung fu! It's just a kind of memory of the founder. However, with the changes of the times, the sect culture has been continuously diluted, and until now, it seems to be nothing.

There are many martial arts practitioners in Geng Village, and they each have their own masters. But if you want to trace back to the roots, the kung fu spread in Geng Zhuang is the kung fu of the Geng brothers who fled here in the Hongwu year of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, it was to dodge, and it was not enough to hide, how could he teach the kung fu of killing enemies on the battlefield to future generations. It's just some basic skills to strengthen the body and defend oneself. Moreover, after so many generations of inheritance and changes, most of the essence has long been lost, and strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a sect.

Compared with Geng Village, Sun Laohan is a different kind of person, he has been apprenticed since he was a child, and what he learned is the kung fu of the sect, which is very distinctive.

After Sun Laohan finished talking about Xuedan, he didn't plan to continue. As soon as the conversation changed, he talked about his experience of apprenticeship.

Sun Laohan walked in the direction of the village, and the two followed behind him, listening to Sun Laohan speak.

Sun Laohan said: "I was a relatively early apprentice, and I practiced with my master when I was seven years old.

Our sect is called 'Yuzhi', and legend has it that it was a secret organization around the emperor a long time ago. The founder of this sect is rumored to be a gifted teenager. Created a set of very esoteric academics, which were mixed with Qimen Dunjia, Five Elements Bagua and other particularly obscure things. The details are recorded in an ancestral secretary.

The descendants of this sect are all relatively learned people, and they are generally civil officials around the emperor. It is rumored that at the height of the sect, there were seven or eight people, and an organization was formed to study this thing.

But after so many years, the maximum number of descendants can only be two. When it came to me, it was in trouble. I was born in a special era, and I was not in a position to study at all. Everything I know is passed down to me by my master. However, my master is a man who is both civil and military. His martial arts are very high, but he is not optimistic about the effectiveness of force, but he spends all his attention on studying the secretary handed down by his predecessors. ”

"Didn't you say there was another junior brother? He didn't learn what his master had ......" Zhang Zhen couldn't help but interject when he listened to Sun Laohan's words. But before he finished speaking, he thought that Sun Laohan had said not to mention that person in the future, and he was so frightened that he quickly shut up.

Sun Laohan listened to Zhang Zhen's unfinished sentence, but he didn't get angry.

Then he said, "Yes, I have a junior brother. It's the guy you saw last night. He was indeed the most suitable successor, but he did not bother to carry it on at all. Finally defected!

As soon as he left, he stumbled into it by mistake, and my master had no other apprentices, so he could only pass on to me what was ancestral and what he had studied. Although I didn't read much, my master was very strict, staring at me every day and reciting it, and I remembered it all over time. I know my own ability, I have no hope, I just want to pass it on to the next generation, and don't let this mission be broken. ”

Sun Laohan said that he was a little sad, as if he hated himself for being incompetent and living up to his master's high expectations.

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei also felt a little pity when they heard it. Relatively unfortunately, they are more afraid. Because the two of them only care about stealing chickens and dogs on weekdays, they go to the house to uncover the tiles, and they don't study hard at all. Now that they are Sun Laohan's apprentices, the meaning of what Sun Laohan said just now is obvious, that is, to pass on this secret to them. That's exactly what they're worried about!

Sun Laohan walked very slowly, and spoke very slowly. Unaware of the thoughts of his two disciples, he continued, "I don't want to be a sinner." There are two things I want to do in this life. The first thing to find the traitor and clear the portal! The second thing is to find the right person and pass on the secret! has lived to this age, and now these two things are only a little bit eyebrow-raising. I don't know if it's joy or sorrow! ”

Zhang Zhen listened to Sun Laohan's sad language, and his heart was also extremely uncomfortable. However, Sun Laohan just said that the family mission and the sect were secret. But what exactly? But I've never heard Sun Laohan say it. He saw that Sun Laohan was in a good mood tonight, and seemed to be interested in mentioning the past, so he couldn't help but ask, "Master, what is the mission of our sect?" Is it the same thing as the family mission you told me? ”

Sun Laohan lived to this age and just had an apprentice. is really more excited, and the things that have been suppressed and hidden for so many years have long made him breathless. On weekdays, he never told anyone, so he could only meditate on himself. I happened to say it today, and he also felt unprecedented heartiness. Just say it.

Sun Laohan raised his head and let out a long exhale. Then he said, "Yes, secrets always have to be revealed." Since you asked, I might as well tell you all today. However, you have to think clearly. Once you know the secret. You don't just live for yourself, it's a secret that you need to spend your whole life or the next generation exploring. Can you do it? ”

Zhang Zhen and the others were very worried when they saw that Sun Laohan said so solemnly. They didn't know what the secret was, and listening to Sun Laohan's meaning, guessed that it should be a big secret. Can they do it in their power? But the curiosity in their hearts only existed for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.

Besides, since Sun Laohan has chosen them as apprentices, he must tell him, sooner or later. It's better to know sooner, and feel happy in your heart!

Both of them puffed out their chests, pretending to be very sure, and then replied "yes" in unison.

Sun Laohan saw their affirmative looks, whether it was true or not, he was also happy in his heart.

After some tossing just now, it was already late at night. The mountain village was quiet, and there was no one in the village.

Sun Laohan said: "Our sect is called 'Yuzhi', and my master once told me that this has two meanings. The first meaning is that our sect is not known for its kung fu, but mainly for its wisdom. My master couldn't tell me what jade meant, he was still studying it at that time. However, the meaning of the second layer is relatively simple, after all, we are the organization of the emperor at that time, and we were formed by order, so it is the 'imperial system'! It is not difficult to understand that it is the same as 'Yuzhi'. But no matter what, no matter what the name is, there's nothing to dwell on, it's just a code name.

What we really have to do is to read through a secretary handed down by our ancestors, and then find the treasures that represent the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and finally find the places mentioned in the book to uncover the secrets.

As for what the result of this secret is, I don't know, and neither does my master. My master only told me that once this secret is revealed, it will be a great feat that will change the order of the world and start the course of history! ”

Zhang Lei had never heard these things on weekdays, and when he heard the last few words of Sun Laohan, he couldn't help but joke: "Influence the order of the world and create a historical process?" Is there an elixir in secret? Let humanity live forever? Or is it the eternal youth that makes people never grow old? ”

When he said this, he was completely used to joking with Zhang Zhen on weekdays. He was sharp-tongued, and he finished speaking immediately, and after glancing at Sun Laohan's serious expression, he realized that he shouldn't guess the secrets of his sect. So he looked at Sun Laohan with an uneasy face, waiting for Sun Laohan's wind and thunder methods.

Sun Laohan hadn't spoken yet, but Zhang Zhen said: "What has been handed down for so many years must have a reason for his existence." However, none of us know the contents of the secret, which shows how important this secret is. So I think what you're saying may be possible! ”

Sun Laohan wanted to reprimand Zhang Lei for a few words, but Zhang Zhen said so. He also thought about it, he had always been the inheritor of this secret. When he first found out, he also thought about the content of this secret. It's just that it's limited to some kind of golden treasure, strange books and secret arts, and the like. Like what Zhang Lei said just now, he didn't think about the elixir of life, the eternal water of youth, and so on. But the reason why he couldn't help but not get mad was more about the change in Zhang Zhen's attitude towards this so-called family mission.

He was also extremely happy when he heard that Zhang Zhen affirmed the value of this mission. He struck while the iron was hot and said: "Zhenzhen is right, there must be a reason for this secret to exist." The original intention of our ancestors may also be that we want us to follow the clues they left behind to uncover this secret.

Speaking of which, I'll be honest. The so-called sect secret and the family mission are the same thing. The family refers to the Geng family. I told Zhenzhen before about the origin of Geng Zhuang. I won't say much today, Zhang Lei, if you have any questions, just ask Zhenzhen, don't interrupt me when I talk later! ”

Sun Laohan glanced at Zhang Lei, who wanted to speak and stopped, said a word to Zhang Lei, and then continued: "The two brothers of the Geng family, the eldest brother is called Geng Haotian, and the second brother is called Geng Handi. They were the generals beside the emperor and made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. It was because of this kind of miraculous feats that the emperor handed over the genius boy to them for protection. Let the genius boy complete what he has learned all his life, and then start a sect.

In ancient times, emperors held the power of life and death in their hands, and they all longed for their empire to last forever, and they dreamed of immortality. Hooray! Maybe this secret has something to do with it. But this is also speculation, everything is fake until you see the secret!

But the truth is, where in this world is there any immortality? Eventually, their emperor died, and the genius boy mysteriously disappeared. The whereabouts of the genius boy were only told to the Geng brothers who protected him. What kind of characters are the Geng brothers, they not only have to be loyal to the emperor, but they also have to be benevolent and righteous to their brothers.

After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he began to vigorously purge the cronies of the old master. There is no impermeable force in the world, and the new emperor knew about the genius boy, and also knew about the genius boy's 'Yuzhi' organization, so he hunted and killed it on a large scale. Naturally, they will not let go of the Geng family brothers. So the Geng brothers took their families and the only apprentice of the genius boy who was not killed. This is what later Geng Zhuang was.

The Geng brothers protected the genius boy for so long and got the genius boy's secret. To be on the safe side, this secret is divided into two parts. Part of it is hidden in the Geng family, and part of it is in the hands of the 'Yuzhi' sect. Only after the people of the Geng family and the secrets of the 'Yuzhi' sect are combined into one, can they follow the clues to find the secret. ”

Zhang Zhen listened to Sun Laohan's words, and seemed to understand a lot in his heart. But he still couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "Master, according to what you said." As long as you combine the secrets of the 'Yuzhi' sect with the secrets of the Geng family, it's been more than 600 years, and you can't touch it once? ”

After hearing this, Sun Laohan sighed and said, "Yes, I can't touch it once." What a small chance is that? I said the 'Xuedan' thing before, and many ancestors of the Geng family thought they could, so they went to experiment. But in the end, he died and lost all his efforts!

Besides, it's a secret, and it's impossible for everyone in the world to know about it. Therefore, there are very few people who know it from ancient times to the present. Even your big-headed grandfather and Li family patriarch don't necessarily know. It takes at least 20 years for a generation to fail, and 20 years for one failure! How many twenty years? ”

Zhang Lei was fascinated by what he heard, he never dreamed that the village he had lived in for fifteen years still had such a history. What's even more surprising is that the Geng family still has secrets. He couldn't help but ask: "Master, if it's so troublesome, wouldn't it be okay to let the Geng family have more children." Grandpa try it, dad try it, grandson try again, and someone from generation to generation will try it. ”

Sun Laohan listened to Zhang Lei's words, laughed and said, "What do you think is a piglet?" A litter of life? Besides, now Geng Zhuang and these people are all surnamed Geng, except that you are a little interesting, and the little fat man who was a little right that day, which of the others is like the material to do this thing? Give it a try, which is making clothes? ”

Zhang Zhen listened to the master's explanation to Zhang Lei, and what he said was not wrong, but Sun Laohan avoided saying that he was a pure-blooded Geng family. Why did Sun Laohan say that? Zhang Zhen couldn't think clearly for a while.

In fact, Sun Laohan's mind is very simple. He knew early on that Zhang Zhen was a person of pure blood in the Geng family. As for whether there are other Geng family members, then he doesn't know. From the day he saw Zhang Zhen rolling bare-ass in the snow, he expected that there must be a drama on this child.

But just in case, he accepted another apprentice as a candidate to take out the "Snow Pill" from Zhang Zhen's stomach when the accident happened. He originally wanted to accept Li Gen, but then he was disturbed by Zhang Zhen like this, so he could only do this. Fortunately, Zhang Lei is more clever than Li Gen.

Sun Laohan never dared to say these words, he knew that once Zhang Lei knew the truth of the matter, he would only accept apprentices to take advantage of them. That will make a fuss in the end! Besides, Zhang Zhen's young man's bull temper is not easy to deal with. These are rotten words in the stomach!
