Chapter 30: The Tang Gate

"Su Jing": Those who explain themselves and teach others are rebellious, and those who correct themselves and transform others are obedient. It is difficult to follow the adversary, easy to follow the obedient, chaotic if it is difficult to follow, and easy to do.

……

Tang Ming bought four tickets, soft sleeper, closed on all sides and no one bothered. Tang Muzhi read a book in the lower bunk and continued to meditate at night. More than 1,700 kilometers from Suzhou to Sichuan, thirty or forty stations - this is a long journey, coming out of Suzhou, crossing the 400 mm isoprecipitation line, and heading south.

It is said that when you actually leave a place, you start to reminisce about its bits and pieces. In this season when goose feathers drift into thousands of households, the day when the wind and snow swept the dense jungle, waking up on a sunny and dry morning, Tang Muzhi forgot what he was going to do for the time being, he recalled the Suzhou Park full of old cypress trees, remembered the old house he lived in, and remembered the classroom of Suzhou No. 1 Middle School. He thought of Tang Yuan, the woman who always liked to dress up; thought of Xu Jingrong, a girl with a flushed face when she met for the first time; Thinking of the down-and-out Guangping; thought of the confused and melancholy Du Bingqian; reminds me of Guang Shao, who often changes his attitude; He even thought of Chen Hongzhi, the eccentric and insidious alchemist β€” and he thought of Sony's Walkman and the record player in the 311 dormitory.

Tang Muzhi looked out the window, the unexpectedly sunny morning was not gloomy in winter, but the outside world was already a country of snow.

White dazzling.

Tang Ming brought pastries, and he gave Tang Muyi a piece.

"In October, I thought I was going to be idle this year, but I didn't tell anyone, and I was planning to propose."

Tang Muzhi was surprised: "You're going to get married?" Brother Ming, I'm so embarrassed......"

"It's okay, I've been used to it for a long time! I started refining Qi when I was five years old, at that time the rivers and lakes were not peaceful, the war was over, the famous and decent people almost died, and the Baiyunguan had a whole generation, and there was only one Fang Dao chief left who died; Only the Tiandao people were left dead in the generation of Longhu Mountain...... Many of our good men in the Tang Sect also died under the guns. ”

"At this time, there are a lot of demons and monsters running out to make monstersβ€”you know all sexes...... At that time, they were the most arrogant and caused trouble everywhere. There are often people who make fights and make enemies. As soon as people have grievances, they have to find Tangmen. The Tang Sect is a sect that solves troubles, and at this time, we are developing from a decent standpoint, and I remember that I was about the same age as you when I first ended my life with my own hands...... To this day, I don't know how much blood was stuck on my hands, I was busy, I was busy making people die, and now I'm busy, I don't know what I'm busy with. Tang Ming ate pastries and enjoyed the snow scene outside the window.

"Tangmen is an organization that helps people solve troubles." Tang Muzhi savored it.

If someone creates trouble, someone needs to solve it.

This is also an obvious truth.

"Why don't you know what you're busy with?" Tang Muzhi asked.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ There is no progress - there are fewer and fewer options for the Tang Sect in this era. I'm tired of it, so I want to find a woman to marry, and I'll probably do some mentoring or something like that...... I know the keeper is tired of it, but he can't stop. ”

"What kind of person is the doorman?"

"Huh...... Let me tell you about the Tang Gate, so that you won't be blackened when you arrive in Sichuan. ”

"I say it's from the Tang Sect, but in fact, I don't necessarily know anything - when was our Tang Sect founded? Who founded? We don't even know much about this, and we're just paying tribute to a wordless wooden plaque and a 'Dan Devouring Diagram'. At the beginning, our Tang Sect could only be regarded as a big clan, until more than 400 years ago, when the head of the sect broke the rule of only recruiting Tang surnames, and our Tang Sect was able to develop rapidly, until now it has grown into a big faction comparable to the four families and three temples. ”

"Although our Tang Sect is still divided into inner and outer doors now, don't feel that there is any special status in the Tang Sect just because your surname is Tang, the head of the door was also born in the outer door before, and the Tang Sect after the war can stand in the famous and decent family, relying on Yang Lie's unparalleled assassination methods and the concerted efforts of the elders of the inner and outer doors!"

"Now most of the Tang Sect and you and my generation are still inner disciples, and there has been a task of recruiting outer disciples in the past two years, so the last time Master Wang was going to come to Suzhou, the head of the sect also ordered to bring you over."

"That's right." Tang Muzhi never understood why Tang Yuan left him for more than two years, and someone from the Tang Sect came to him, it turned out that it was only in the past two years that there were few people to remember that there was such a person.

"There are a lot of things in Suzhou this time, but it's still done, and the rest will give the company a headache, I'll get married at the beginning of next year, and then let Wang Ye give me the title of director of the martial arts school - I'll be responsible for training you rookies in the future, ha."

"My sister-in-law is also an insider?" Tang Muzhi asked with a smile.

"Yes, she is still from a famous family, the young lady of the Ye family, and their ancestor is Ye Tianshi, who wrote "On Warmth".

"Oh, I know. Sister-in-law is from Jiangsu? Tang Muzhi remembered that Mr. Nanyang, surnamed Ye, was from Wu County, Jiangsu.

"I've seen it on the Poison Sutra. Her hometown is over there, but she studied in Sichuan, and she only graduated the year before last and didn't go back. She has also reached the age of talking about marriage. When it came to lovers, Tang Ming was a little overjoyed.

"Congratulations." Tang Muzhi hugged his fists.

"Heh, I'll tell you about the elders in your door! Needless to say, Master Wang's current outer door was brought out by his old man. There are also four old men in the inner gate, Tang Miaoxing, Tang Tingfeng, Tang Guanhai, and Tang Qiushan, all of whom grew up in the flames of war - peers, I won't introduce them to you, and when the time comes, you will worship under that master's door and call each other brothers. ”

"Okay." Tang Muzhi responded.

"There's one more thing you have to keep in mind. Soon after we went back to worship our ancestors, it was the ninetieth birthday of the old man Lu Jin of the famous Lu family, and it was only a month. ”

Tang Mu was stunned, "Does this matter have anything to do with me?" ”

"It has something to do with the young people who are refining Qi all over the world! Did you know that the Lu family has a weird family rule? You just can't pass on your skills to your children and grandchildren. Tang Ming took a sip of water and chatted for a long time, almost all of them were him.

"The Lu family, respect the children's own ideas, if you want to do business, just go! I don't give you a little capital; If you want to read, go ahead! None of the travel expenses are provided; If you want to practice Qi, apprentice yourself, don't ask your family to teach you! ”

"That's weird!" Tang Muzhi said with a smile.

"But Rao is like this, people have been prosperous for nearly a thousand years, and no dynasty or generation is embarrassed! It's just that the current situation is a little complicated, when Mr. Lu was young, he worshiped under the 'Trinity' door, and learned a hand of 'Reverse Life Triple' unique skills, and then this Trinity Gate was gone, and Master Lu became the only person in the world who would reverse the birth of the Triple Sect, he wanted to find someone to pass on this unique learning, and he never found a suitable one, this time he was ninety years old, and invited people from all walks of life, and the heads of the sects also knew his thoughts, and there must be a lot of young talents in time, and he was going to take this opportunity to find a successor again! ”

The two chatted from daytime to noon, Tang Muzhi paid attention, and now they have arrived in Longnan, as if driving into the south of the Yangtze River, although there are snowflakes flying, but the surrounding woods are luxuriant, and the clear spring is flowing. It is very different from the previous Loess Plateau.

Tang Ming bought a boxed lunch, although the boxed lunch at that time was expensive, but it was definitely not unpalatable, the two were drinking tea and eating in front of the scenery outside the window, and an upside-down head suddenly appeared on the train window of their private room!

"Poof-" Tang Muzhi spit out the tea in shock.

The eyeballs are still moving! Alive!

Tang Ming deserves to be an old man, I don't know when he felt out his hand and stabbed that person on the head through the glass!
