II-Chapter 31: The Past History of Hongmen
"Deceive the sky!"
The astonishment on Wu Tian's face was not much worse than that of Hong Tianba's father and son, who were taken aback by Wu Tian's exclamation, he never expected that the so-called token that Hong Tianba took out was actually strikingly similar to the "deception of the sky" that he had refined, was it a coincidence? If it was a coincidence, there was nothing to say, and if it was really imitated from the "deception of the sky"?
"Can you show me?" Wu Tian stretched out his hand to Hong Tianba, and Hong Tianba was really frightened, thinking that Wu Tianzhen really knew this thing, but Wu Zhenyong really didn't know it at the beginning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info You must know that in order to find the true owner of this thing, Hong Tianba intentionally or unintentionally exposed this thing every time he met with people from related sects in the hinterland, just to find someone who could recognize this thing, but unfortunately since his grandfather's generation, he has not been able to find such a person. Now if Wu Tian knows, it doesn't mean that the head of his Hongmen sect is really Wumen, because Wu Zhenyong doesn't know it, it's completely unreasonable, this can only be explained that Wu Tian knows people from a sect who use these items as tokens.
"Here!" Wu Tian wanted to know the answer, Hong Tianba also wanted to know the answer, and handed over the sign without hesitation.
Wu Tian took the brand and rubbed the card very seriously, the start is not smooth or rough, there is a dark white order on the dark card, this appearance is similar to the "deception" made by himself, but it is obvious that there is no "deception array" on the token, it is definitely impossible to say that it is "deception", because the materials used in refining "deception", Wu Tian thinks that it is impossible to have a second piece, but what if it is imitated? Unless he creates a sect, if Wu Tian himself creates a sect. Set up your own portal, maybe you will use it as a token. After all, the most mysterious thing in Wu Tian is "deception", and the sect pattern will be based on Tai Chi. Of course, the token and the gang pattern must not be the same.
"Each sect will have its own flag, what is the flag pattern of your sect master's sect?" Wu Tian suddenly asked thoughtfully.
"I don't know. Who knew that Hong Tianba shook his head, the sect has been in decline for too long, and although it still has contact with the affiliated sects when it declines, it will only bring tokens, and will not come with flags. As for the gangs, they also recognize each other by tokens, and they do not specifically record the flag pattern of the sect on the records of the gang, and over time, no one knows the flag pattern of the sect of the sect. But the token has always been inherited. The relationship between the suzerain and the subordinates is all combined because of interests, and because of the strength of the suzerain, the subordinates naturally will not have two hearts, but with the decline of the suzerain, the subordinates will not only decline, but also have the intention of two hearts, and it is impossible to keep the banner of the suzerain in the past in mind all day long, and some even want to fight the idea of the suzerain in turn. Until something happens to the suzerain. The people who are looking for them may have a sincere heart, but they may be more likely to want to fall into the well, and they are not necessarily interested in getting benefits from it, who can say clearly. The factions kept their tokens. There are a few who want to find the old master, maybe just to find people from the sect master's sect, so as to benefit from it. After all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is impossible for the original Ruoda sect to leave nothing.
"Forget it. Wu Tian had an idea in his heart. But even Wu Tian himself felt a little ridiculous, let alone said it. Since you can't find the answer, forget it, because it's not too important, of course, if you can find the answer, and if you can match what Wu Tian thinks in his heart, then it doesn't matter whether it's important or not.
"I thought Brother Wu knew it?" Hong Tianba still didn't give up.
"I just thought it was similar to what I saw, but I felt different when I held it in my hand, tokens, many sects have this preference, and I shouldn't be sure. Wu Tian shook his head, ridiculous things without answers Wu Tian has always disliked Zhang Yang.
"Oh, I see. Hong Tianba replied absentmindedly, took the photo from Hong Feilong's hand and looked at it for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask Wu Tian, "Wu Men...... Does Wumen really have a 'Cultivating Immortals' heritage?"
"Dad......" When Hong Feilong heard it, he immediately understood what Hong Tianba meant, seeing that Hong Tianba was extremely obsessed with the matter of "cultivating immortals", and even as an attendant like the ancestors, he was also happy, and he actually wanted to join Wumen as a subsidiary.
"Shut up!" Who knew that Hong Tianba, who had always loved Hong Feilong, actually glared at Hong Feilong and shouted angrily, it seems that he has no negotiation in this matter, since hearing the words of Wu Tian and Hong Feilong's discussion, he learned that Wu Men also has a "cultivation of immortals" inheritance, Hong Tianba's heart that plans to retire and no longer serve has come alive again.
"Old Master Hong seems to be very keen on this, why?" Wu Tian has experienced too much, he has seen everything, so he naturally doesn't know why Hong Tianba is keen on "cultivating immortals".
"Brother Wu is still young (Hong Tianba naturally doesn't know Wu Tian's true experience), you may not understand. You see, I don't have a few years to live, but even if I am given another hundred years to live, maybe I may not accept it, very strange? Isn't 'cultivating immortals' just for the sake of immortality? In fact, this is certainly one of the reasons, but it is not the only one. If I were to live on Earth for a long time, I would rather live like this, after all, this world is like this for me. But if you look at the picture on top of this picture, it's a completely different world, and I really want to see it, I really want to go there!"
Wu Tian finally understood that in addition to knowing that "cultivating immortals" could live far longer than mortals, Hong Tianba was also thinking about the excitement of exploration in another world. What do people live in the world for? Some people say it's money, some say it's fame, some say it's women, and so on. However, in the final analysis, Wu Tian defined it as "satisfaction". People live in this life for that kind of satisfaction, whether it is money, wealth, fame or women, in fact, it is for that kind of satisfaction in their hearts. Everything on the earth can no longer give Hong Tianba any new satisfaction, only the other world that he has been buried in the depths of his heart can give him this feeling. There was no hope before, but now he suddenly knew that Wu Men might be able to take him to another world like the Sect Master of Hongmen led his ancestors back then, and his silent heart came alive again. For example, some people like to travel, for what? Even if you see the most beautiful things in the world, what can you do, but in fact, it is still for the feeling in your heart. It's a wonderful feeling that can send a perfectly good person straight to hell.
"That's right, our Wu Sect has such a heritage!" Wu Tian replied to Hong Tianba with certainty. Maybe now a considerable part of Wu Tian's knowledge of Wu Men has been sealed in his past memories, but now he can't remember it. But what his Heaven and Earth Two Souls have experienced is the best illustration that Wu Men does have such a heritage. "There shouldn't be this place, though. ”
"Understand, not every sect goes to the same place!" Hong Tianba actually knows about this kind of thing, it seems that the relevant records left by Hongmen are by no means simple, but Hong Feilong seems to have not really taken over Hongmen, but he has not been told about this at all.
Although Hong Tianba said this, Wu Tian was still a little suspicious, although each gang may not be in the same place. But Wu Tian is different from others, he once swept through the cultivation world, until he entered the Heavenly Gate, he was still a man of the hour, otherwise he would not have been remembered by that fellow disciple, until the later sneak attack, of course, all this was in Wu Tian's plan, but it was also true that the fellow hated and jealous Wu Tian. And......
Wu Tian looked at the photo in Hong Tianba's hand quietly, as if it was very casual. But in fact, Wu Tian was staring at the sword in the hand of the man in the photo. Sure enough, let Wu Tian see that the sword spike on the hilt of the sword was connected to a brand, the sword body may not be like it, but the position of the sign and the brand are like a "fairy calamity".
"Dad. Isn't it grandpa...... Hong Feilong was still unacceptable, and he suddenly found a reason why he didn't accept it. "Even if it's a palace, where did this photo come from? Immortal cultivators still have cameras, whatever!"
"What do you know!" Hong Tianba suddenly knocked Hong Feilong on the head, it was enough to be Wu Tian's father at Hong Feilong's age. Now he was suddenly knocked by his father in front of Wu Tian, which made Hong Feilong really unable to get off the stage, but he saw that Hong Tianba's eyes were about to pop out, but he didn't dare to speak again for a while. "It is said that this is a place where science and technology and cultivation develop together, unlike the earth, some people still maintain the method of cultivation, while the vast majority of people have completely fallen to the invention of science and technology, what if there is a camera, I heard that this place has been at the level of the earth decades ago as early as a thousand years ago, and there are aircraft cannons everything, but other people's aircraft cannons are not used by us like this, let alone at that time after a thousand years. ”
"Old Master Hong seems to know the situation at that time in detail, it seems that Hongmen has relevant records!" Wu Tianyan meant that he wanted to see the relevant records, but of course it was not easy to ask about things like this, but the most important thing was that Wu Tian's curiosity had not yet reached the point where he had to see it, and with a little meaning, let Hong Tianba decide whether to give it or not. Just give it and take a look, if you don't give it, Wu Tian doesn't care.
"Hehe," Hong Tianba smiled awkwardly, it seemed that there were some things that Hong Tianba didn't know whether to tell Wu Tian or not, it was estimated that after about five minutes, Hong Tianba finally gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Brother Wu, who do you think the man in this photo is mine?"
"What person?" After listening to Hong Tianba's words, not only Wu Tian, but also Hong Feilong also asked strangely. You must know that Hong Tianba has said that this is the ancestor of Hongmen before, and even mentioned that during the strong period of the Qing Dynasty, Hongmen joined the ranks of "cultivating immortals" for the first time after joining the suzerain, that is, this man was at least a person before the middle of the Qing Dynasty. However, Hong Tianba suddenly said that there must be an inside story, so both of them asked Hong Tianba with strange expressions at the same time.
"He's here, my grandfather!"
"Ahh
Wu Tian and Hong Feilong screamed at the same time, Wu Tian didn't say anything thoughtfully after shouting, while Hong Feilong shook his head wildly, shouting impossible.
"If it's a grandfather, then isn't his old man nearly two hundred years old? Can people in the past live for so long?" Hong Feilong didn't believe it, and this age was still conservatively estimated, because he didn't know how old his grandfather was when he became famous, and the strong period of the Qing Dynasty had begun since the Kangxi period, if you really want to count it, in fact, his grandfather appeared a little earlier, and it didn't need to be in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, it's a fact, this is what my grandfather said to me personally, when I was very young, my grandfather was still there, but when I was ten years old, my grandfather suddenly disappeared, but my father didn't care, and then when my father passed on the throne to me, I knew that my grandfather had already explained to my father when he left. As for where he went, my father didn't know. Maybe it's Yunyou. Maybe I went somewhere to spend my old age like some eminent monks, but I don't know why. Because my father didn't elaborate, as for the other explanation, it is a matter of secret, so I can't tell it. ”
Hong Tianba looked at Wu Tian after speaking, meaning that Wu Tian was still an outsider after all, and it was not good to tell the truth about the secrets of the sect.
"What about grandpa's grave?"
"That's empty. Hong Tianba sighed and said, because Hong Tianba's father didn't know where his father was until he died, so he could only treat him as if he had died, and finally he could only be given a tomb.
Hong Feilong had to believe it when he heard it. Because his father Hong Tianba would not tell this kind of lie to his grandfather, but it was difficult for him to accept such a thing, so the expression on his face was extremely complicated, constantly changing, and he was speechless for a while.
"It turned out to be the grandfather of the old master of Hong, so it's no wonder. Wu Tian knows that as a grandfather, he likes to talk to his grandson about the majestic affairs of the past, but he will not go to his adult son to talk to him, since it is the person concerned who tells it personally. It is no wonder that Hong Tianba is so fascinated by life in another world. Some people are obsessed with women, some are obsessed with money, and some people are obsessed with power, but Hong Tianba is obsessed with a world that his grandfather described back then, which is likely to be nothing. "Still. Since the old master grandfather was able to survive until that time, it proves that he has made a great breakthrough in cultivation, and he should not die suddenly. And your martial arts are ......"
Wu Tian didn't say anything, but he could know that what Wu Tian wanted to say was that Hong Feilong's martial arts were not outstanding. It's not like a lineage from a powerhouse who once stepped into the cultivation world.
"Well, grandpa doesn't say it. If my father doesn't say it, I don't know about the old man. Hong Tianba's face was slightly red, looking a little embarrassed, but he was not angry because of Wu Tian's words, "Maybe grandpa has his own special cultivation method, or maybe grandpa's skills are cultivated in this place." ”
Hong Tianba pointed to the photo as he spoke, meaning that his grandfather had finally succeeded in cultivating in the place in the photo. Maybe Hong Tianba didn't have an answer to what he said, but Wu Tian thought a lot. Each sect has its own special cultivation method, which is not passed on. And Hong Tianba, as a person who can follow into the cultivation world, may already have the privilege of cultivating the mental method within his sect master's sect, but this does not mean that his descendants also have this honor, and it is also possible that he can make it but not pass it on to future generations. There is another possibility, as Hong Tianba said, his grandfather did not achieve anything in the cultivation of the earth, but in the other world, there was a breakthrough, of course, this "other world" does not only refer to the place in the photo, because it is a meeting place, and outsiders may not be allowed to cultivate, it is very likely that the sect of Hongmen back then had a special place for its cultivation.
"It's also possible," Wu Tian didn't elaborate on what he thought in his heart, but he also nodded, "But with Grandpa Ling's cultivation, it is likely that he is still alive, and it is possible that he may ......."
"It's back here!" Wu Tian had just said this, Hong Tianba suddenly pointed to the photo and took over the conversation, and a pair of eyes shot an eager light.
"Maybe. Wu Tian nodded, in fact, he did not rule out such a possibility, maybe this old man was really like himself, and after a hundred years, he would let his descendants think that he was going to die, but if he wanted to choose the way to go out, in fact, he had to embark on the path of cultivation alone.
"I am willing to lead Hongmen to become a subordinate sect of Wumen!" Suddenly, Hong Tianba seemed to have made up his mind, and all kinds of speculations about his grandfather made Hong Tianba's decision to join Wumen even more firm, but Hong Feilong, who had not yet fully accepted it, looked at his father dumbfounded, not understanding why his father was obsessed with this, and actually wanted to sell the entire sect.
"Hehe," Wu Tian smiled, but he didn't rush to agree, although Wu Tian wanted to build a force of his own, and he didn't want to rely on Wu Sect completely. With his own strength, with the strength of Wu Sect, Wu Tian will definitely make the Wu Sect Alliance his own hall of words in the future, but Wu Tian wants to make such a time come earlier, and because Wu Tian does not want to embark on the same cultivation path as before, it is likely to deviate from the established route of Wu Sect in some things, and it is likely to be obstructed by some elders of Wu Sect at that time, and even this person may be Wu Zhenyong, the grandfather who has stepped down from the position of the master of the sect. However, Wu Tian knew that he could not completely intimidate the entire Hongmen by himself, and he had to be truly willing by Hong Tianba. Now Hong Tianba wants to join Wumen because of his long-cherished wish, but since Wu Tian doesn't want to take the old path, it is very likely that even Hong Tianba will not be able to accept it, although he is not afraid of Hongmen's backlash, but Wu Tian doesn't want to worry about this kind of thing, so Wu Tian has to think about whether he really wants to absorb Hongmen at this time, although he did have such thoughts before.
"There are some things I can't say, but the path I have to take will be very tortuous, with the old sect master's lifetime, he may not be able to catch up with me to enter the cultivation realm, so is the old sect master still willing? You know, once I join, I will not allow anyone to betray, if necessary, I will be very violent. Wu Tian's tone was relatively gentle, but the light that shot out of his eyes between the words made Hong Tianba and Hong Feilong, who was sulking on the side, all startled.
"Dad!" Hong Feilong couldn't help it, he didn't want to give up the entire sect.
"Okay!" Hong Tianba's eyes glared at Hong Feilong, with the intention of getting angry immediately, perhaps because he was afraid of his power for a long time, Hong Feilong's neck couldn't help shrinking, and he didn't dare to speak again, "Then if I pass on the position of the master of the Hongmen Gate to Long'er, I personally join the Wu Gate, can Brother Wu accept it." I can help you take care of your business in Hong Kong, and it is best to enter in your lifetime, if you can't enter, it is also my life, and I will not pull in Hongmen. ”
Hong Tianba is a good idea, the owner of the door is replaced, then Hongmen is Hong Feilong's final say, even if Hong Tianba is there in person, no one can touch the fundamental interests of Hongmen. As long as Wu Tian can bring him into the cultivation realm in his lifetime, it will be regarded as the completion of his wish, it seems that in the end, Hong Tianba still takes care of Hong Men and his son Hong Feilong, or rather, Hong Tianba had such an idea from the beginning, but he was scheming and retreating.
However, it may not be beneficial to Wu Tian. Although there is no entire Hongmen, with Hong Tianba's former status in Hongmen, and the owner of Hongmen is his son, many things are more convenient to do, at least unlike Hong Liang who came to take over, there must be a small dragon on the side to deter Hong Feilong and so on. For Hong Tianba's father, as long as the fundamental interests of Hongmen are not touched, Hong Feilong will not refuse Hong Tianba's request, and there will be less trouble in the future, although Wu Tian is not afraid of these troubles, but trouble is always trouble, and it is best not to deal with it.
"Okay!" Wu Tian thought about it again and again and finally agreed with Hong Tianba's suggestion, although he had to wait for his relatives to return to old age before he really embarked on the path of cultivation, it didn't mean that he wouldn't go to some otherworldly space to carry out the necessary "gatherings" of the sect before that, and when the time came, he would bring Hong Tianba his wish. As long as he became his own person, it would be difficult for Wu Tian to refuse any of his requests, which was Wu Tian's advantage and his fatal flaw. "You are welcome to join our sect, and when you step down from your position in Hongmen, you will be the first important member of our sect in Hong Kong. ”
Wu Tian stretched out his right hand to Hong Tianba, and Hong Tianba also trembled excitedly and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Wu Tian.
"Dad...... This ...... "Although Hong Tianba's practice is already different from the previous practice, you must know that Hong Tianba has already planned to retire, and the position of the master of the Hongmen Gate will be handed over to Hong Feilong sooner or later, but let Hong Feilong see that his father is going to become a slave of the Wu Sect, which makes him still difficult to accept, to put it bluntly, his self-esteem has been hurt.
"Hehe," Now that Hong Tianba has become his own person, it is still necessary for Wu Tian to come forward for related matters, such as letting Hong Feilong willingly accept his father to join the Wu Sect and other things, "Don't worry about the Lord of the Hong Gate, since there is still a ninja who doesn't want to speak, then please bring him over, and I will let the Lord of the Hong Gate see how I forced a confession." ”
Although Wu Tian thought that the ninja would not have any valuable information, but in order to show Hong Feilong, he suddenly proposed to interrogate the ninja himself. It turned out that Wu Tian did not have the means to force a confession and looked for Hongmen, but he was afraid that there was a language barrier and was too lazy to interrogate, but Hongmen did not have any troubles in this regard, and if a large company could definitely find a translator.
"I'll bring him!"
Hong Feilong didn't say anything, but Hong Tianba was on the road, and seemed to immediately enter the role and run errands for Wu Tian in person. Wu Tian smiled and didn't say anything, and Hong Feilong didn't say anything to stop him, but looking at his eyes full of resentment, you can see how reluctant Hong Feilong was. (To be continued.) )
