Chapter 24: Silly young master
Tang Men is a strange talent.
Decades ago, there was a geek in the Tang Sect, and he was Tang Mugong's father, Tang Jie.
He was originally a scholar who loved dancing and writing, and he inadvertently became the amazing master of the Tang Sect, and finally became the master of the Tang Sect. He not only pushed the martial arts of the Tang Sect to a new peak, but also brought the Tang Sect into an unprecedented prosperous era. Since him, the masters of the Tang Sect have been like clouds, and to this day, they are still prosperous. It can be said that most of the credit for the current strength of the Tang Sect comes from Tang Jie, which is just a continuation of him.
Tang Jie has four sons, all of whom are first-class masters in martial arts. The eldest son, Tang Mugong, is now the master of the Tang Sect, and the other three sons have also become elders. When the four of them were young, they were already famous in the rivers and lakes, and now they are well-known martial arts predecessors on the rivers and lakes. Now, the three elders spend most of their time in retreat and practice, and they no longer interfere in the affairs of the Tang Sect. Tang Mugong is old, and he no longer cares about small things, and only leaves them to his five sons to take care of.
His five sons are also very good at kung fu, and they are all famous figures in the rivers and lakes, and they are collectively known as the Five Heroes of the Tang Sect. The martial arts of the five people are not inferior to the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, so the Tang Sect is really a master, and no Jianghu sect dares to underestimate it.
None of them had daughters, but each had a son. Tang Siji gave birth to Tang Zhong, Tang Si was born to Tang Yong, Tang Sihai's son is Tang Guan, Tang Sichong has Tang San, and Tang Sikai also has a son named Tang Kejun. The five young people of them are collectively known as the Five Young Men of the Tang Sect by the people in the rivers and lakes.
Tang Siji is the eldest son of Tang Mugong, so he was also the first to get married, and his son Tang Zhong was the oldest among the five young people. Although Tang Zhong was the oldest of the five young masters, he was the only young master who had not yet obtained the Tang Sect Dart Armor, and was naturally despised by everyone else, except for his parents and grandfather, of course. Among the five young people, Tang Kejun is the youngest, only fifteen years old this year, but he is talented and intelligent, and before he reaches eighteen, he has already passed the exam and obtained the dart armor.
Tang Zhong did not have a dart armor, which is understandable, because he was born mentally retarded, that is, a fool. Although he is now over twenty years old, his IQ is not yet five years old. What makes the people of Tang Men smile bitterly is that Tang Zhong is now twenty years old, but he has not been weaned yet. Whether there is an outsider or not, whenever he is hungry, he will ask his mother for milk. Because of this, his parents were often embarrassed by him in front of outsiders. But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, sometimes he was hungry, and his mother was not there, so when he saw a beautiful girl, he would go to someone to ask for milk. As a result, he was naturally regarded as a hooligan, and he was beaten a lot for it. However, he is very kind in his heart, and when he is beaten, no matter whether he can beat others or not, he will not fight back. When he was beaten, he only knew one thing, and that was crying to find his mother.
Tang Siji's wife is called Bai Bing, and she is also a person with good martial arts, and is often called the White Woman. However, for the sake of this stupid son, he often cried silently alone when no one was around.
Stupidity, it's a sad thing.
It's even more sad to be stupid and not know it.
People who are stupid and don't know it, but still like to say that others are stupid, that is extremely sad.
Unfortunately, Lieutenant General Tang accounted for all three.
Not only is he always like a child who doesn't grow up, he still enjoys himself, but he also says "you are so stupid" to others from time to time. This is something that no one can tolerate, except for his parents and grandfather, of course.
Because he didn't grow up, or was stupid, Tang Zhong was often ridiculed and fooled by his four cousins.
In this world, few people like a fool. If anything, he is the closest person to a fool.
In this world, there are very few people who will be friends with a fool. If anything, he would be the most trusted person for fools.
Because Tang Zhong is different, he has few friends. In addition to his parents, the person who loves him the most is his grandfather. Among the five grandsons, in fact, Tang Mugong's favorite grandson is Tang Zhong, and the reason is his kindness.
Except for his parents and grandfather, the only one who can play with Tang Zhong is the youngest Tang Kejun. Although he often fooled Tang Zhong with his three elder brothers, after all, children were small and always felt that Tang Zhong was very funny, so he often came to accompany him. Tang Zhong's temperament was originally a child, so he didn't hold grudges at all, and he also liked to play with Tang Kejun. If Tang Zhong still has a friend, then there is only Tang Kejun.
However, Tang Zhong actually hides a huge secret. Not only did his parents and grandfather not know, but even he himself didn't know what was going on.
The secret is that he has an unparalleled parroting ability.
In short, he has an extraordinary memory and can remember many things in an instant, which is what ordinary people call unforgettable. Not only can he remember what he has seen, but he can easily imitate everything he remembers. This is actually an innate ability to learn, and it stands to reason that people with this ability should be geniuses.
Unlike ordinary people, he can only remember what these things look like, but he doesn't know what they mean or how to use them. It's like a parrot, which can learn to speak, but it can never understand the meaning of the phrase. Therefore, this ability of Tang Zhong is not a real learning ability, but only a parroting ability.
Grandpa likes Tang Zhong very much, and when he reads books, he always likes to let Tang Zhong study ink. Tang Zhong was so impressed that he wrote down all the books his grandfather had read. But he only remembered the appearance and pronunciation of the words, but he could not understand the meaning. Because he had never told anyone else about it, no one in the Tang Sect had ever known that he had this ability.
Grandpa knew that he had a problem with his brain, so he was very lenient with him, and never forced him to learn whether he was studying or practicing martial arts. However, when he was teaching other grandchildren, he always let Tang Zhong sit on the side. But he didn't know that the person who remembered what he taught the most was Tang Zhong.
When his grandfather taught his cousins martial arts, he always let him wipe his weapons on the side. But what his grandfather taught, his younger brothers had to read many times to learn, and as long as he read it once, he had already memorized it completely, and even after a long time, he would not forget it.
He often used to laugh at his younger brothers for struggling to learn, "How stupid." But he always provoked the other party's ridicule: "Fool." Occasionally, he would practice some martial arts moves that he remembered, but without exception he was ridiculed by his younger brothers, and he stopped practicing them.
He could remember almost everything he had seen, but he had never used what he remembered.
He didn't know that the words he wrote down from his grandfather's book could not only be used to write letters, but also tell many truths about life.
He didn't know that the weird moves his brother practiced could actually be used in fights. Sometimes, when he provokes others, when he is chased and beaten, he realizes that he can easily knock them down, but he just doesn't dare to fight back, so he just lets others beat him indiscriminately, but leaves happily.
He's actually like a miser, who keeps making money and never spends a penny. Or that he doesn't know what the "money" he earns, what he can do with it, and how he doesn't know how to spend it.
He never bothered about it himself, and sometimes found it very amusementary.
He couldn't understand why his younger brothers had to practice hard every day when he could easily learn something on his own.
He didn't understand why there were so many strange words written on those books, and his grandfather kept reading them. He actually knew all the words, and he had memorized all the books his grandfather had read. If it were someone else, he would have already become a great writer. But what about him! But he can't even write, let alone write letters or articles.
He had seen his grandfather and uncle fight more than once. In his opinion, except for his grandfather, he could easily knock everyone else, including his father. He felt that the moves of his father, uncle, and cousins were useless at all. Whatever move they used, he could go up and slap them down. He didn't know why they liked to jump around like that, he just knew that it looked like a fun game, but his father and grandfather wouldn't let him play together. He had never played this game with anyone else, and he had never slapped anyone down.
He was truly different, and he was excluded from everyone because of it.
But he didn't know.
Parents and grandpa didn't know either.
No one in the world knows.
He actually has a big treasure on him.
It's just that he hasn't found the way and the key to open the treasure yet.
