Chapter 144: The Hong Family
In the days when Aoki River went to Gogutai to do penance, Baikusamon can be said to be a disaster, and disasters happened one after another. First of all, the disciples of Baicaomen went out and were repaired by the disciples of other sects for no reason, and the disciples of those sects also threatened that the disciples of Baicaomen dared to retaliate or plot afterwards. Then they will go to Baicaomen at any time to find trouble with the disciples of Baicaomen, and their strong attitude and arrogance have reached the extreme. As this kind of incident occurred from time to time, some disciples in the Baicao Sect became self-endangered, and some disciples took the initiative to apply to return to their hometowns and families. Among them are Hong Feng, Hong Qiaorong and others,
The reason why Hong Qiaorong chose to leave is actually another reason, that is, Mu Yan told Hong Qiaorong a big secret before leaving. Then he instructed Hong Qiaorong to find an opportunity to rush back to his family as soon as possible, so as not to be implicated in Baicaomen. Hong Qiaorong comes from a relatively large family in the south of Muling County, and this family is the Hong family. Due to the special geographical location of this family, between the location of Xuanlin Gate and Baicao Gate, the Hong family adopted a compromise method, that is, to remain neutral towards Xuanlin Gate and Baicao Gate, neither favoring any sect nor being the enemy of any faction.
Although the strength of the Hong family is relatively strong, it can be regarded as an ancient family that has been inherited for a long time. However, in the face of the existence of the two behemoths of Xuanlin Gate and Baicao Gate, the Hong family naturally had to put themselves in a correct position, and the slightest carelessness would attract the disgust and even anger of the two major sects. This makes the Hong family have to be cautious in their attitude towards the two major sects. Therefore, the head of the Hong family first married the woman in the family to the disciple of Baicaomen, and then sent the men in the clan to Xuanlinmen to learn art, so that no matter which side of Xuanlinmen and Baicaomen wins in the future, the Hong family will not be greatly affected.
At most, it is enough to let the children who are on the losing side return to the family. And Xuanlinmen and Baicaomen are beyond reproach for the Hong family's approach, after all, where do people want their descendants to learn art. That's someone's own business, and no one else can take care of it anyway. Besides, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Xuanlin Gate is very famous in the northwest area of Muling County, but it is obviously impossible to threaten the Hong family in the far south with the help of that prestige, not to mention the distance of thousands of mountains and rivers, the heritage of the Hong family alone is not something that anyone can move if they want to. The Hong family itself is a cultivation family, otherwise it would be impossible for future generations to integrate into the cultivation sect.
In fact, the Hong family also has its own wishful thinking, and first slowly sent its children and grandchildren to two powerful sects. First, you can learn the superior exercises, and secondly, you can learn some useful information about the Tao up-to-date, so as to make corresponding countermeasures, as an ancient family that has been inherited for a long time, it is naturally unwilling to shrink into your own one-third of an acre of land forever. I also want to have more room for development and more territory. I have to say that the Hong family is still very ambitious. Previously, Mu Yan went out to practice. The main thing is to go to the Hong family to practice some more powerful exercises. For example, the palm of stopping war, the palm of war and other exercises actually come from the Hong family.
It's just that when Mu Yan was practicing the exercises, his grandfather, that is, Hong Qiaorong's father Hong Chenglie, once personally told Mu Yan not to reveal the origin of the exercises at will. Hong Chenglie did this for two reasons, one is to prevent his family's exercises from spreading. is remembered by people with a heart, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, it is better not to leak it easily. The second is that Hong Chenglie is afraid that the people of Xuanlin Gate will be suspicious, after all, Mu Yan is in Baicaomen. And Hong Chenglie actually passed on the family heirloom to Mu Yan, does this mean that the Hong family is showing favor to Baicaomen and preparing to lean towards Baicaomen's side.
Thinking of this, Hong Chenglie repeatedly told Mu Yan not to reveal the origin of his practice. I have to say that ginger is still old and spicy, and this Hong Chenglie can be said to be leaky. From this little thing, it can be seen that Hong Chenglie is scheming and taking precautions.
In a magnificent manor in the south, there are several old men and middle-aged people sitting in the living room of the main house, as if they are discussing something. "Tianlin, have you done everything to inform Qiao Rong?" asked a majestic old man to a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows. This old man is Hong Qiaorong's father Hong Chenglie,
And that middle-aged man is Hong Qiaorong's brother Hong Tianlin, who is also the future Hong family resident. At this moment, a few people in the living room can be said to be the main principals of the Hong family, and they are also the more core people. "Back to my father, the child has ordered someone to pick up his sister, and it shouldn't be long before my sister can get home safely, but the death of my brother-in-law will definitely make my sister sad. Although Hong Tianlin is the future successor of the Hong family, he still looks respectful in front of Hong Chenglie, his words and deeds are very regular, and he does not dare to cross the line in the slightest. This is all the family motto and family rules of the Hong family that have been regulated and constrained since childhood. The family rules of the Hong family can be described as very harsh,
The requirements for future generations are very high, and if anyone dares to disobey and violate the family rules, they will be punished with the most severe. This is also one of the reasons why the Hong family has been able to inherit for so long. If a family can't restrain its descendants well, then as the successor becomes more and more unruly and capable, then what awaits the family will undoubtedly be ruined. Although Hong Chenglie asked Mu Yan to bring a letter to Hong Qiaorong and asked Hong Qiaorong to rush back to the family as soon as possible, Hong Chenglie loved his daughter after all, and he was still not very relieved, so he ordered Hong Tianlin to do this matter again. According to the message replied by Hong Tianlin, he learned that his brother-in-law had died, and it was not clear how he died.
"Alas, it's hard for Qiaorong's child, but as a descendant of the family, you must contribute to the family and seek benefits. It is inevitable to sacrifice some, but fortunately, there is this God-given opportunity now, otherwise Qiao Rong would not be able to openly return to the family. Now Baicaomen is on the cusp of the storm, and it is difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river itself, so naturally he can't manage some trivial matters. As long as Qiao Rong returns to the family and finds a good home for her, it is not up to our Hong family to have the final say. For now, let's discuss how to deal with this change in Baicaomen. Hong Chenglie listened to Hong Tianlin's words, and he also sighed helplessly, but when it came to Hong Qiaorong's return,
When she finds a home again. Hong Chenglie's body naturally exudes a kind of momentum, which is a powerful momentum that has been in the top position for a long time and calls for wind and rain. That's right, Hong Chenglie does have the ability to call the wind and rain in the south, so over time, that kind of strong and irresistible momentum will breed and spread. makes Hong Chenglie look like a very majestic and strong man. But Hong Chenglie does have that qualification. "Father's words are very true. As far as the child knows, the situation of Baicaomen seems to be very critical this time, because most of the small sects in Muling County have participated in the action of denouncing Baicaomen, and a large number of them have directly taken action to fight against the disciples of Baicaomen.
Some families seem to be involved. It can be said that Baicaomen at this moment is full of dangers, and it is difficult to move an inch. According to the child's humble opinion, our Hong family should also take a share of the pie. Hong Tianlin briefly analyzed the current form of Baicaomen. At the same time, it was proposed to fall into the well of Baicaomen. And get some benefits. "Ridiculous! Tianlin, your analysis is correct, but you only see the surface of the matter, as the successor of the Hong family, if you only have this vision. That's not enough. You have to see the essence of things through these phenomena. First of all, you said that many sects participated in the campaign to denounce Baicaomen. There is much to think about in this message.
What are these many sects, and what exactly have they done? This is all something that needs to be understood in detail. So as not to be on the wrong side of the line. If you get together with the spies of Baicaomen, it will cause immeasurable losses to our Hong family. After all, Baicaomen is a great sect that has been inherited for thousands of years. As for the families you mentioned, they are all ordinary people who see the wind and steer the rudder, and they are not worth mentioning, of course, this does not include those big families. There is also a shot to shoot the first bird, there is no absolute certainty. We must not be the first to rush out of the city, the last time a secret letter came from the Xuanlin Gate, inviting our family to discuss how to deal with the Baicao Gate, I did not refuse. There was also no agreement.
It's been almost half a month since then, and Xuanlinmen has been standing still, which may have a big mystery. So I think this moment is definitely not the best time for our Hong family to attack, at least we have to fight together with Xuanlinmen, so that even if we can't completely destroy Baicaomen, at least we don't have to be afraid of Baicaomen's retaliation, because at that time we have already united the front with Xuanlinmen, and we are considered grasshoppers on a rope, and when we encounter difficulties, Xuanlinmen will naturally not stand idly by. All we have to do at the moment is wait and see and wait until the time is right before striking with thunder. That's the way you can get the unexpected effect. Hong Chenglie heard that Hong Tianlin was going to attack Baicaomen,
couldn't help but scolded loudly, and then analyzed the benefits and disadvantages, and finally Hong Chenglie said what he thought in his heart.
"What the father said is very true, and the child knows that he is wrong. In a few moments, I instructed my subordinates to do what my father wanted. By the way, my father, if my sister returns to the family, how will Mu Yan arrange it? Will he agree to change his surname if he takes the liberty of changing his surname?" Hong Tianlin saw Hong Chenglie's expression, and quickly stood up, nodded and admitted his mistake. Then Hong Tianlin thought of his nephew Mu Yan, according to the previous practice, as long as the husband of the Hong family woman died, then let the Hong family woman return to the Hong family with the child.
The child changed his name and surname to belong to the Hong family from then on, and this time Hong Qiaorong was in the same situation, but when it came to his own sister, Hong Tianlin didn't know how to decide for a while, so he asked Hong Chenglie. "Mu Yan, if he can come back alive, then naturally he will also change his surname to become a member of our Hong family, this is the internal rule of the Hong family. Of course, it would be another matter if we faced those powerful families, if it weren't for the catastrophe of Baicaomen this time, we would not have dared to let Qiao Rong come back. But now the situation is different, as long as Mu Yan returns to our Hong family, he will be a member of our Hong family, there is no doubt about this. But when I taught the wood and rock exercises before,
Feeling a trace of ominous aura wrapping around his body, I then spent my blood to predict the future, and calculated that Mu Yan would have a chance, and if it went well, his strength would rise steadily in the future. But if it doesn't go well, then he will face a catastrophe, and it will be a catastrophe. Therefore, whether Mu Yan can come back alive or not depends on his own strength and providence. By the way, don't talk to Qiao Rong about this matter first. ”
Hong Chenglie heard Hong Tianlin mention Mu Yan, and there was an invisible sadness in his heart, obviously Hong Chenglie did not have much hope that Mu Yan could come back alive. Then he told Hong Tianlin. After that, a few people in the living room discussed some trivial matters such as family business and disciple cultivation, and then broke up and went to work.
