Tang Muzhi suddenly smiled: "Master, have you been punished after this incident?" ”

Yang Lie turned his head to stare at him, and said meaningfully, "Of course it's punished." You can ask Zhang Wang and Tang Tingfeng about them, they haven't gotten out of bed for months. But I'm different, I was already going to be devoured at that time, and the door chief was afraid that he would beat me to death, so he only asked me to face the wall in Tang Mound for a while...... Far away, let me tell you about the later situation of the Ninja of Biyama at that time. ”

……

On August 15, 1945, the Emperor of Japan announced his unconditional surrender. And not long after, in Guan County, Zhang Wang and others looked at the empty mountain gate of Tangmen, and the former division commander and brother died in bloodstained days and were sent to the even colder and empty Tang mound.

This is a rainy day, in the humid atmosphere, from the Tang mound wafting out of the smell of sandalwood tree burning, the people in the door heard the news of Japan's surrender in the early hours of last night, and prepared the three animals, incense, dishes, cakes, and cinnamon wine for the sacrifice overnight, and when they first arrived at Mao, they also brought the scrolls of the people under the mountain door.

The people were scattered, Zhang Wang didn't stand with Yang Lie and them, he pulled Xiaomei and his husband up, and stood with a group of people.

"Hee ......" Xiaomei had just been pulled down by her husband Mao Wu's right hand, and now she couldn't hold it anymore, she stretched out her left hand again, pointing towards the hazy skyline, and the cuffs slid down, revealing her scarred arm.

"Ahem, Brother Wang, Brother Wang......"

Mao Wu is a thin and weak tuberculosis ghost, with a weak body and little strength, although Xiaomei is mentally abnormal, her body is good. Xiaomei's movements were as big as he couldn't hold it back, and wanted Zhang Wang to help him.

"It's okay, Mao Wu, just hold her." Zhang Wang stretched out his hand to straighten Xiaomei's cuffs and cover her scars.

"Oh, oh." Mao Wu nodded a little bewildered, and clenched one of Xiaomei's hands with all his might. In fact, he and Xiaomei have been married for two years, but it is the first time they have gone up the mountain, and they are a little nervous.

Zhang Wang looked at the flawed couple in front of him, and thought to himself that it would be good if the two of them could help each other live in this world. Xiaomei is the only daughter of his master Gao Yingcai, who was tortured by the all-sex beast white owl to the point of insanity, and her mind is now similar to that of a child; Mao Wu was originally called Mao Wu, originally helped a Taoist priest collect medicine on Qingcheng Mountain, and then the Taoist priest went out of the mountain to fight, and he didn't come back for several years, so he went to the foot of Tangmen Mountain not far away to do some business. Because of tuberculosis, I haven't been able to get my wife.

After Gao Yingcai's death, the head of the Tang Gate felt that it was not good to entrust someone to take care of Xiaomei all the time, so he asked Zhang Wang to find an honest person to take care of him. Zhang Wang has inspected this Mao Wu for a few years, this person has some culture, can know a lot of words, is also kind, killing chickens and dogs can't be seen, and he also sends food to the old people who have no one to take care of him on weekdays, and he is afraid that the old man will stick to him so much, so he can only send it quietly at night, and he is only a vegetarian.

Now that the two have been married for more than two years, Xiaomei's illness is sometimes severe and sometimes light, and when she is light, she doesn't laugh or make trouble, so she sits in place, but she can't speak, but when she is hungry and thirsty, she knows how to eat and drink, and others talk as if they can understand. When it's heavy, he runs around like a child, and he has to be taken care of everywhere. Zhang Wang often investigates secretly and finds that this Mao Wu really takes good care of Xiaomei.

Tang Men has rules, Tang Tomb only blood relatives can visit, Zhang Wang instructed Mao Wu to wait for him and Xiaomei outside the mound, there is also a place to burn paper on incense outside the mound, Mao Wu and those non-direct relatives together in the mountain outside the mound to build a brazier to burn paper, mist and smoke mixed together, the entire Tang Gate mountain was shrouded in a haze.

The ritual inside the mound took place for about two hours. After Zhang Wang led Xiaomei out, Mao Wu wanted to invite him to go down the mountain to sit at home, Zhang Wang refused, he watched the two go down the mountain hand in hand, and Tang Tingfeng stood behind him.

The two stood together wordlessly, only to feel a melancholy in their hearts lingering. Fourteen years of the Anti-Japanese War, the country's mountains and rivers were broken, life was stormy, Zhang Wang saw the slightly bulging grave in the mound, and he remembered the bones of those who were crushed under the guns of the Japanese soldiers, and the bones of the people who were separated under the wielding of the Japanese sword, and they were still silently guarding the land underground.

A few days later.

"I bought a piece of information from the small inn, and the local forces in Japan now have no time to take care of the Hirayama ninja who are still hiding in the country, and their wounded in the north have gone south to mix in the prisoner of war camps and are going back one after another."

Tang Guanhai handed Zhang Wang a slip of paper wet with several familiar names listed on it.

There are a large number of ninjas in the mountain, and in June 40, after the Tang Gate selected ten people to assassinate the ninja head in Mianshan, the ninjas of the mountain swarmed into Shu and carried out a crazy revenge on the Tang Gate, and countless people died during this time.

Later, in order to understand this matter, the ninjas came to the top of the Tangmen Mountain to fight and agreed that each side would send ten people to fight in the Jilin Thosky Cave, and the Tangmen would win the ninja and no longer be the enemy of the Tang Gate, and never set foot on Chinese soil again; If the forbearance wins, the head of the Tang Gate will sacrifice his head.

However, the Japanese respect small gifts and ignore the big festivals, and the words they say naturally cannot be trusted, which is a trap for the Tang Sect. Fortunately, Tang Bingwen, the head of the door, has long understood the habits of this group of ninjas: fierce and aggressive, brave and not afraid of death, proud of death, retribution, and capricious...... If this kind of person is not completely wiped out by fighting through the holes in the sky, there will inevitably be troubles.

Through the hole in the sky, the Tang Gate won by killing, and the battle situation made the mountain shiver up and down, and lost the courage to commit again, but the Japanese Ichthyosaurus Society took this opportunity to liquidate the forces in Japan, and the ninjas of the mountain could not return to China, and the remnants of the party lurked in the country, and they were dug up by the people of the small stack some time ago.

Zhang Wang saw the name of a ninja on the list, Takuto Masuno, who was present when his master Gao Yingcai died, and later attacked the Tang Sect several times and retreated. Zhang Wang had already made up his mind in his heart, he turned to Tang Tingfeng and asked, "How long ago was this news?" ”

"Ten days ago, it's a pity, if only the news came sooner...... These people became prisoners of war, they ate us and drank us, and the troops did not stay for long, and they could return to Japan in a few months. This is the specific location of Bigu Mountain, you see. ”

"......" Zhang Wang felt a burst of fierce excitement in his brain, and his skull began to tremble, he and Tang Tingfeng glanced at each other, and both of them saw a strong killing intent in each other's eyes.

Zhang Wang: "Tang listens to the wind, you usually don't show mountains and water, but I didn't expect you to do all your work!" ”

Tang Tingfeng: "Don't you want to do this?" The Japanese can run to our China to burn and loot for so many years, and now we have to feed them and send them back, can you stand this anger? Why don't we kill back? Just because of the door rules! After Jiashen, we are not allowed to act rashly, don't you panic? ”

Zhang Wang's eyes froze, and he stared directly at Tang Tingfeng: "Even if there is only a group of remnants left in Biqi Mountain, just rely on the two of us to run across the sea, and it is a fool's dream to kill them!" ”

Tang Tingfeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Now the people who have the courage and strength in the door are Miaoxing and Yang Lie, Yang Lie can speak Japanese, and if he is there, we have a much better chance of success." ”

"Tang Miaoxing is not necessarily, how could that guy Yang Lie do such a thing! He has joined the Tang Sect for so many years, but he has not violated the door rules once. ”

Tang Tingfeng: "Hmph, I think there are exceptions to everything, Yang Lie usually looks serious, and he may not have this kind of thought in his heart." No matter how bad it is, we can still cheat ......"

……

Yang Lie: "The first time I went to Japan, it was in the middle of winter in four or five years, and only Tang Miaoxing, Zhang Wang and Tang Guanhai went with me. It went very smoothly that time, and there was no news on the road...... In fact, they didn't have time to take care of these things at that time. We traveled for two days in a row to Mt. Biya. ”

"At that time, the mountain was already isolated and helpless, their backup either fell or abandoned it all, Japan's largest inhuman force Ichthyokekai and the mountain were also antagonistic, just because they were burned by the bomb not long ago, and now the two sides have not started a war, the whole mountain is surrounded by dead silence and decadence, and those who returned home are basically injured."

"We took a short rest outside the mountain and then started the operation, this operation has no taboos, because there are only three 'ghosts' left in the mountain, and we will not be able to find anyone alive in the mountain for only one day...... The wildfires burned inexhaustibly, the spring breeze blew and reborn, and a few years later, a new group of ninjas gathered in Mt. Hira, the last ninja - the one who died at the hands of the Great Master, these ninjas were the children he adopted before the war, and grew up silently outside the mountain. They declared war with the Ichthyosaurus Society under the banner of 'purging the internal thieves and immortalizing the soul', and they resisted stubbornly for several years, but in the end they still failed to fight the Ichthyosaurus, which had the support of the Japanese cabinet. ”

In fact, Tang Muzhi was curious about what kind of psychology Yang Lie had with Zhang Wang and they went to Japan at that time, but Yang Lie didn't say much about this, and the focus of this conversation was the company's push for Yang Lie to sit in the "old" position...... After many years, the Tang Sect actually went both ways with Bi Shan in terms of the foothold of the Assassin Organization.

The ninjas of Hirayama were ineffective due to the stability of Japanese society at the time, and the people above wanted to completely shut up this group of ninjas and let them fend for themselves in this isolation. At that time, the ninja head of Mt. Bi and the big man reached an agreement to exchange military merits for the acceptance of the world, so when the other Inhuman invaders only participated in the war in their own name, Mt. Bi Shan almost used the strength of the whole sect to assist the invaders' army regardless of death, and was bound to let this continent burn out in the flames of war.

Tang Muzhi now stands from Japan's point of view, Biyan Mountain has really made great achievements for Japan, assisted the army in assassinating the top leaders of our army, and let the Inhuman forces that united to strangle them suffer heavy casualties - that is the combined power of Shangqing, Putuo Three Temples, Longhu Mountain, and even the four families, which can now sweep away all the forces in the world, but in the end, the two sides only ended up with mutual casualties.

But the final outcome of Biqi Mountain was still abandonment - before the battle of Jilin Thosky Cave, the enemy forces that were sitting in the rear of the fish and dragon would backstab and leak information, and the new forces after the defeat were gradually wiped out under the instructions from above. An Assassin Order with a long history similar to the structure of the Tang Sect declined and died in the midst of this repeated situation.

The ending of Bigu Mountain is a fierce and tragic ending, they are assassins, and the assassins are contrary to the stability of the world, so they have an ending. The dilemma that Tangmen is facing now is the same, but it is impossible to change the way of the world, so there is only compromise.

But compromise also has different directions, to enter the WTO and become an ordinary sect, or to follow the old path that the ninjas of the mountain have been walking? In short, in the future, it will definitely deviate from the original intention of the ancestors to establish the Tang Sect and revise the rules that have been observed for a long time...... Yang Lie, the head of the door, is not good.

Today's situation is that after joining the WTO and becoming an ordinary sect, the Tang Sect lacks the means to transform, and it will inevitably gradually weaken and lose its former glory, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes even after many years; And the old way of taking the mountain is like a mountain, although the methods of the ancestors have been inherited, but it may be a reincarnation, dying in isolation and betrayal.

Once Yang Lie accepts it, Tang Muzhi estimates that it will be difficult for the Department of Health to accept the Tang Gate again, and Nadutong will also strongly oppose it in this matter, because if the Tang Sect maintains a dual identity, it is extremely detrimental to their management. And if Yang Lie refuses, burns the achievements of the Tang Gate in recent years, acts in a low-key manner, and gradually hides the Tang Gate in the shadows, in line with the wishes of the above, it will be much smoother to embark on the road of Biqi Mountain.

Tang Muzhi thought for a long time, and finally said: "The example of the ninja of the mountain is still a bit extreme, so I shouldn't compare the Tang Sect with the little devil." ”

Yang Lie: "According to your meaning, or cooperate with the Department of Health?" ”

"Yes, the only disadvantage of cooperating with the Department of Health while retaining Tangmen's status in the circle is that it is easy to be criticized by insiders when it just starts."

"But there are many difficulties."

Tang Muzhi: "Difficulties can always be overcome...... I mean the will of the gatekeeper, the inner disciples, if they are still enthusiastic about the profession of assassins when they become adults, or if the original intention of the outer disciples to join the Tang Sect has not changed, they can choose to go to the Department of Health to work and gain deeper attainments in the way of assassins; If the mind is not in this area, or it is not the material of the assassins, you can also find something for them to do, such as setting up a large security company, relying on the means of the doorman, and it will not decline if it is managed well. ”

Yang Lie bowed slightly, and he chuckled: "After going around for a long time, you have said back our initial expectations." What I am talking to you about is how to resolve these contradictions and difficulties! ”

Tang Muzhi said: "Okay, you listen to me this time, I will establish this line of cooperation with the Department of Health in the future, and I can't stop it." What about you, just go to the position of the ten elders with peace of mind, but the martial arts school doesn't have to go on anymore, it will be outdated soon, or the security company I said is reliable, and now there is no shortage of money. The difficulties of handling the formalities will be solved by slowly communicating with you when you become a ten-year-old. ”
