Chapter 26 The Death of the White Clothes Twenty-sixth
Regarding the civil strife in the White Lotus Sect, in the final analysis, it was caused by a love debt between children and daughters. After Tang Sai'er became the leader of the White Lotus Sect, he not only expanded rapidly externally, but also strengthened internal rectification. Soon after, the White Lotus Sect was completely unified internally, and everyone could be said to be 100% obedient and respectful to this sect leader. Tang Sai'er also thought of a way to strengthen the strength of the White Lotus Sect at this time. At that time, due to years of war and famine, some people either could not afford to raise children, or died adults and children became orphans, anyway, there were a large number of children who had no support. Most of these children are not able to take care of their own children, and some are newborns. The common people can't afford to raise these children, and the court doesn't want to take care of these children. In some places, there are even things that children ignore on the side of the road. Others don't want to raise children, they don't want to have one more mouth to grab food, and the White Lotus Sect is not afraid of these things. Although these children are useless people now, they will be useful talents in more than ten years, and in a few decades, they and their children will be the greatest wealth of the White Lotus Sect.
Tang Sai'er secretly sent people to gather orphans from all over the country together, either to buy, rob or hug, anyway, as long as others don't want children, the White Lotus Sect will take them in. These children were not all adopted by Tang Sai'er together, and Tang Sai'er personally classified them. Those who have the potential to learn martial arts stay at the headquarters, and ordinary children are scattered to the homes of the White Lotus Sect members to raise. Tang Sai'er not only taught them kung fu, but also taught them to read and write, so as to become the hope of the White Lotus Sect in the future.
These children have experienced life and death, and they know more or less the warmth and coldness of people, so they cherish this opportunity. Not only did they practice hard, but they also worked hard to learn all kinds of knowledge. In the past few years, except for some congenital reasons for children, most of them have their own futures. Some children are good materials for martial arts training and will become swordsmen to defend the White Lotus Sect in the future, and some children will know various crafts and make their own contributions to the development of the White Lotus Sect in the future. Some children are good at reading, and in the future, they will mix among the common people, participate in the scientific examination of the imperial court, and go to the imperial court to make internal responses to the White Lotus Sect. Some children are good at imitation and become good material for surveillance and assassination of officials. Even those disabled children, they have their own set of methods, they can use their disabilities to beg for a living, and at the same time help the White Lotus Sect find out the news. There are even some girls who volunteer to contribute to the White Lotus Sect and form ** to act as ** to raise funds for the White Lotus Sect while finding out the news and developing new members. Thanks to the efforts of these children, the White Lotus Sect has not only grown, but also a lot of materials have appeared among the new members.
Tang Sai'er also selected some outstanding people from among these children as his disciples. These children not only became the future backbone of the White Lotus Sect, but were more likely to inherit Tang Sai'er's position and become the next leader of the White Lotus Sect. For these children, Tang Sai'er is not only their benefactor, but also a teacher, just like their own parents, even closer than their own parents to them. Tang Sai'er did not remarry, and called these children his own children.
Lu Dacheng is not an orphan, but he grew up beside Tang Sai'er since he was a child. His parents were both followers of the White Lotus Sect, and they were the most staunch. In order to complete the task assigned to them by the White Lotus Sect, they left their young son Lu Dacheng in the main altar, and the couple went out to inquire about the news in the name of business. Lu Dacheng, like other orphans, stayed in the general altar to practice martial arts during the day and learn culture at night. Lu Dacheng is relatively honest, and he is a descendant of the White Lotus Sect who knows his roots, so Tang Sai'er is very relieved of him. When Tang Sai'er officially decided to be a disciple, the first child that came to mind was him, so Lu Dacheng was equivalent to Tang Sai'er's founding disciple, and the other senior brothers wanted to call him "senior brother".
After Lu Dacheng became Tang Sai'er's disciple, he worked harder to learn kung fu. He knew that being Tang Sai'er's eldest disciple meant that he was very likely to become the next White Lotus Sect leader. This is a kind of trust and encouragement from Tang Sai'er, he must not let his master Tang Sai'er down, let alone set a bad example for the younger disciples behind him. So Lu Dacheng took out all his energy to practice, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. Although Tang Sai'er didn't agree with Lu Dacheng's approach, she also saw the role model of Lu Dacheng, a big disciple. Under Lu Dacheng's leadership, these children practiced desperately, and even became martial madmen, which is definitely beneficial to the White Lotus Sect.
After Lu Dacheng learned the basic skills of the "White Lotus Sword Technique", Tang Sai'er taught Lu Dacheng Shaoyin Sword Technique according to Lu Dacheng's character. I don't know if it's because Lu Dacheng's character is like this, or because he learned and practiced Shaoyin swordsmanship, Lu Dacheng became very domineering and didn't pay attention to the subtleties. In addition to practicing every day, Lu Dacheng's only hobby is drinking. The practice ground and the residence are two points and one line, except for visiting Tang Sai'er from time to time, Lu Dacheng has almost nothing else to do.
Due to Lu Dacheng's simplicity and hard work, he finally surpassed other disciples a lot in cultivation. Gradually, the upper echelons of the White Lotus Sect began to notice this Lu Dacheng, Lu Dacheng was not only Tang Sai'er's eldest disciple, but also a descendant of the White Lotus Sect, which made everyone very satisfied.
Just when everyone asked Tang Sai'er to give Lu Dacheng something to do, the arrival of a person changed Lu Dacheng's future fate. Her name is Yan Xiaoqing, and she is an orphan girl taken in by Lu Dacheng's parents when they were doing business outside. Although Lu Dacheng's parents have been doing business abroad for a long time, they often do things for the White Lotus Sect. In addition to raising funds for the White Lotus Sect's activities, he also has the task of helping the White Lotus Sect inquire about information. At that time, it was not uncommon for a couple to do business abroad, but it was rare for the couple to have no children. In order to confuse the enemy, and also in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the couple decided to adopt a child. It just so happened that at this time they saw Yan Xiaoqing, who was abandoned by their biological parents, and they decided to adopt the child. Yan Xiaoqing called Lu Dacheng's parents "Mom and Dad", but Lu Dacheng's parents hoped that Yan Xiaoqing would become their daughter-in-law in the future, that is, Lu Dacheng's wife. Lu Dacheng's mother was a master of embroidery, so she taught her skills to Yan Xiaoqing along with some basic martial arts skills.
Unconsciously, several years have passed, and Yan Xiaoqing has gradually grown up. Lu Dacheng's parents hoped that the two children would have feelings as soon as possible, so they asked Tang Sai'er to transfer Yan Xiaoqing back to the main altar. At this time, Tang Saier already regarded Lu Dacheng as his successor, so he also cared about Lu Dacheng's future, so he decided to let Yan Xiaoqing come back and live with Lu Dacheng. However, in order to make it easier to explain in the future, Tang Sai'er disclosed the relationship between Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing. Yan Xiaoqing is not only an orphan daughter adopted by Lu Dacheng's parents, but also Lu Dacheng's future daughter-in-law. Tang Sai'er said this, which was equivalent to agreeing to the marriage of Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing, and within the White Lotus Sect, Tang Sai'er's words were holy decrees, and no one dared to object.
Lu Dacheng has not had much reaction since he had this sister and future daughter-in-law. He is still practicing in addition to practicing, but there is just one more person who usually washes and cooks for him. Yan Xiaoqing didn't like Lu Dacheng, but Yan Xiaoqing later accepted Lu Dacheng. First, because Lu Dacheng is the son of her benefactor, even if it is to repay her kindness, she has to accept this Lu Dacheng. Second, Lu Dacheng is the eldest disciple of Tang Sai'er, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and it is also possible that he may be the future leader of the White Lotus Sect. Being able to become the wife of the White Lotus Sect Leader is a very beautiful thing for Yan Xiaoqing. Third, Lu Da has grown up not badly, not only is Kong Wu powerful but also very powerful. Yan Xiaoqing unconsciously fell in love with Lu Dacheng, and the only thing he was dissatisfied with was that Lu Dacheng was not a man who cherished the fragrance and cherished the jade.
Because of the relationship between Yan Xiaoqing and Lu Dacheng, Tang Sai'er gradually accepted Yan Xiaoqing. Tang Sai'er learned that Yan Xiaoqing had a certain kung fu foundation and discounted some embroidery, so he decided to teach Yan Xiaoqing a girl's unique skills. Although Yan Xiaoqing is not Tang Sai'er's disciple, due to Lu Dacheng's relationship, Yan Xiaoqing is also Tang Sai'er's half apprentice. After Yan Xiaoqing got Tang Sai'er's guidance, he created a set of kung fu using needle and thread to fight the enemy. In addition, Yan Xiaoqing has good eyesight and is good at flying needles to kill, so soon after Yan Xiaoqing has a nickname called "Miaoshou Guanyin". Yan Xiaoqing is not ugly in the first place, and some people pat Tang Sai'er and Lu Dacheng's sycophants, praising Yan Xiaoqing like a flower. Everyone knows that White Lotus has taught a woman who is like a flower and jade, not only strong in kung fu but also very beautiful.
