Chapter 856: Walk out of the ancestral hall
Chen Changsheng and the people of the State Sect returned to the Dao Hall.
The wind and snow did not stop and fell all night.
He also waited all night.
There was no movement in the Tang family, and there was no sign of turmoil.
For three years, the second master of the Tang family was in fact in charge of the family business and the housekeeping of the houses, and was undoubtedly the most important person in the city.
But his disappearance does not seem to have had any impact on the city.
This once again proves that Wenshui City will always be the city of the Tang family, and the Tang family will always be the head of the old lady Tang.
What made the people of the state religion and Chen Changsheng feel uneasy was that the whole night had passed, and the door of the ancestral hall was still closed.
Tang Thirty-six has not yet been released.
When the first light of the morning fell on the Wenshui River, the last snowflakes fell at the same time, and then the snow stopped.
The stop of the wind and snow was so sudden that everyone was not mentally prepared, just like the old mansion of the Tang family sent a letter to the Dao Palace.
The streets of the city are covered with thick snow, reflecting the warm red glow, and it looks like burning grass.
Chen Changsheng and the state religion came to the old mansion again, this time he was treated much more ceremoniously than yesterday, and Mrs. Tang was waiting for him in the courtyard in person.
"I was supposed to go to the Taoist temple to worship the Pope, but the wind and cold have not healed, and my old body is unbearable. Old Lady Tang said to Chen Changsheng.
There is no sincerity in either demeanor or tone, and of course there is no need for sincerity, and each other knows that they are just doing it for others to see.
Chen Changsheng said in passing: "I don't know what happened to Uncle Changfang's illness?"
The disease here is naturally said to be poisonous.
Old Lady Tang said: "Yesterday, someone had already gone to the Immortal Sect to ask the master to come and heal. ”
The healing mentioned here naturally means that the Tang family has confirmed that the Immortal Sect has an antidote, and with the ability of the Tang family, it can naturally be obtained.
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng finally put his mind at ease, except for the Huangquan poison on Su's body, although it could not poison him and Nanke, he and Nanke did not have the confidence to be able to detoxify others.
While speaking, the two of them had already come to the house, and all eyes were cut off, so naturally they no longer needed hypocritical politeness, and went straight to the point.
"It's best if you can detoxify, even if you can't detoxify, it doesn't matter, just die. ”
Old Lady Tang said indifferently: "The second child didn't understand this, even if he killed Brother Tang yesterday, I wouldn't choose him." ”
Because he has many sons, and he should live for decades or even hundreds of years, and still have time to educate and train a qualified heir to the head of the family.
Chen Changsheng didn't believe Old Lady Tang's words.
If Tang Thirty-six was really killed yesterday, the Tang family would inevitably face a counterattack from Chen Changsheng and the state religion, even if it was to gain the support of Shang Xingzhou and the imperial court, he would push the second master of the Tang family to the position of the head of the family.
But Chen Changsheng understood why Old Lady Tang said this.
Old lady Tang wanted him to know that in yesterday's situation, he could not give the Tang family to the second room, so in today's situation, he could still not give the long house.
Because the relationship between Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-six is too close, the relationship between Changfang and the state religion has always been too close.
Mrs. Tang abolished the position of the second master's head of the family, but still chose to stand on the side of the merchant boat and the imperial court.
He looked at Chen Changsheng and asked, "Don't you understand why I support your master so firmly?"
Chen Changsheng thought about the dog he saw on the street early yesterday morning, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I can probably understand a little, because you are fellow believers." ”
"The word "fellow Dao" is used very well, because many years ago, after the siege of Luoyang was lifted, your master Shang and Yin and I were indeed fellow travelers back to Kyoto. ”
Old Lady Tang looked at the well in the courtyard and his eyes fell on the snow on the edge of the well.
"In those years, I traveled all over the world, but I knew that I was the eldest young master of the Tang family, whether it was the previous dynasty or the Daomen or those anti-kings, who dared to have the slightest disrespect for me, and had no chance to experience any hardships and dangers in the world, I thought that things in the world were probably like this, even if some people might live a more difficult life, but what does it have to do with me? After all, I am the noble son who is clothed and fed, and no one dares to mess with me, but who would have thought that Luoyang City was surrounded by the demons for three whole months, during which countless tragedies occurred...... In the end, who cares that you are the eldest or younger of the Tang family?"
Old Lady Tang squinted slightly, the corners of her eyes were occasionally wrinkled, with some self-deprecation, but more of a pain.
In March, even the red eagles in Luoyang City were secretly slaughtered and eaten by some strong people, not to mention that there was still bark anywhere. The demons are raping and plundering outside the city, the sporadic Terran rebels are crazy in the city because of despair, the demons are eating people everywhere on both sides of the Wei River, the people in Luoyang City are also eating people, and the water is full of white bones.
Even if his heart is as cold and hard as him, he doesn't want to make more memories of those pictures back then.
Of course, he didn't want to see that image reappear.
So.
"Can't mess up, are the three words I care about the most in my life. ”
"Destroy the demons, this is what I want to do most in my life. ”
"The Tang family is strong enough and has the qualifications to choose, so how to choose between the state religion and the imperial court?"
"I'll pick the strongest one. ”
"What does it mean to be strong? In addition to who has the bigger fist, it also depends on who has the more stable punch. ”
Old Lady Tang looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Your fist is not big enough now, and as for stability, it is much worse than your teacher." ”
Chen Changsheng knew that this was the final attitude of Old Lady Tang, and did not express any further opinions on this.
"I don't have anything else to say, I just want to take him away, I came to Wenshui to pick him up, not to persuade the Tang family to change their minds. ”
That day in the Dao Palace, he also said this to the second master of the Tang family.
It's just that the second master of the Tang family didn't believe his words, and returned a silent and mocking smile.
Old Lady Tang's vision is better than his son, so he can naturally see that Chen Changsheng is telling the truth.
The whole thing is as simple as that, and it's that simple for young people to do things.
Old Lady Tang remembered the interesting things that happened on the journey with Shang and Yin from Luoyang countless years ago, and was silent for a long time.
Almost all of their generation are dead now, even if he and Shang Xingzhou are still alive, they are old after all.
"I promise you. Old Lady Tang looked at him and said, "Speaking of which, he should have come out by this time." ”
......
......
Today's Wenshui City is much more lively than a few days ago.
The second master of the Tang family doesn't know where he is locked up, the second room is out of position, and the audit and cleaning are being carried out simultaneously, but the shops along the street have been opened, and there are more pedestrians.
On the main street in front of the ancestral hall, it was even more noisy at this time, and the steward and shopkeeper of the Tang family's room, as well as the subordinates, were waiting for Mrs. Tang to wait outside the door.
Suddenly, the heavy wooden door of the ancestral hall slowly opened.
Tang Thirty-six walked out of it.
Just like when he came out of the Heavenly Book Tomb many years ago, he was unkempt, covered with dust, and lost a lot of weight, as if he had suffered a lot.
But his eyes became brighter, his expression was much calmer than before, and his temperament was calm.
Looking at her son, Mrs. Tang's eyes were slightly wet, and she forcibly suppressed her emotions and didn't dare to cry.
What happened next proved to people that he was still the same Tang Thirty-six as before.
No matter what has been locked up in the ancestral hall for half a year, his expression and temperament have been many different from before.
He asked the crowd, "What about the old immortal?"
......
......
(Tang Thirty-six finally came out of the ancestral hall, and the thread head Jun also got married, and after a glance at the wedding photos, the bride is so beautiful, it's really infuriating~ I wish you a white head.) )
