Early in the morning, Mu Haisen and a few relatives of the same generation surnamed Mu got up and were busy.

Today is the big day of the opening of Yizhenglian, and from a few days, the former Mu Haisen and others began to prepare to meet today's arrival.

A few days ago, in the name of Mu Haisen, Yizheng Lian officially handed over the documents to the relevant departments at the higher level, applying for the establishment of the Yizheng Lian Martial Arts Museum. There are many twists and turns, if it weren't for someone's help, just Mu Haisen, the owner of the grocery store, plus the identity of a plumber, would never have been able to do it.

Now there are a lot of constraints on martial arts halls and sects, in addition to some sects that have existed since ancient times, after the reform and opening up, most of the martial arts halls came into being, and the vast majority of them are mainly based on collecting money, so there are a few years, there are too many forces that want to stand on their own. In desperation, the higher authorities formulated cumbersome rules and procedures for the establishment of martial arts schools and sects, and the county level had to report to the city, which in turn handed over to the provincial capital, which in turn would be handed over to the department in charge of such things, and the application would be judged by a 15-day inspection period.

In fact, society does not really need this kind of existence, after all, in peacetime, ordinary people do not advocate making fists harder and harder. In the early years, when the society was in the big martial arts school, many kung fu masters gathered people to set up martial arts schools, thinking of taking advantage of the people's atmosphere of practicing martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and making a good amount of money. After a few years, the people and the government gradually discovered that many newly established martial arts schools were selling dog meat with sheep's heads, saying that they were collecting apprentices to pass on martial arts and promoting Chinese martial arts, but in fact, collecting money was the primary purpose.

For this reason, the people who want to send their children to practice some boxing and kicking slowly became cautious, and gradually no longer believed in the touching and blood-boiling martial arts school written in those advertising words. Moreover, the government has also set up a corresponding department to deal with applications and contradictions such as civil martial arts schools.

Of course, this kind of martial arts school and the martial arts taught by the sect are not the real martial arts practiced by people in the rivers and lakes, but there are occasional dopings in the middle, but they are rarely known to outsiders. Because the vast majority of them are ordinary martial artists, the highest units at the higher level have more or less allowed some freedom to civilian martial arts schools and sects.

Mixed in these martial arts schools and sects, there are also real martial arts practitioners, they are nothing more than to support their families, or for inheritance, among which the most typical martial arts representatives are Wing Chun, Chen's Tai Chi, etc., and the sect representatives are Shaolin, Qingcheng, Wudang, etc., Wudang here refers not to the Shanyin Academy, but to the rest of the Wudang Academy.

There is a big difference between ordinary martial artists and the real martial arts practitioners in the rivers and lakes, some martial arts schools and sects that open their doors to do business and recruit disciples are taught ordinary fist and foot kung fu on the surface, but in fact, there are also big hands with good means behind the scenes.

Today's Yizhenglian is like this, the nominal boss is Mu Haisen, but in fact, the real backbone and mainstay is Duanmu Shenjiu, the ancestor of the Mu family, just to hide people's eyes, he named the name of an ordinary martial arts hall in the superior unit.

In fact, in some mysterious government units that are not known to outsiders, how can no one know that the martial arts schools and sects in China today are tired, but it is only because everyone abides by the rules of the supreme ruler well and does not violate taboos, so they have always been safe.

In this land, what does the real king not know? Why does Yu Ding exist, isn't it just to counterbalance some lawless warriors who are occasionally ready to move?

The rivers and lakes are a double-edged sword, if it is used well, it will benefit the country and the people, and if it is not used well, it will bring disaster to the country and the people, Yuding has been walking on the edge, and the warriors who surrender only need to be loyal to them, and they can be safe and sound, and those who are not willing to give in need to be suppressed.

It's just that the current Yu Ding's methods are not too blatant, because they also know that the martial artists in the rivers and lakes who really need to be guarded against are not those on the surface, but those who have been hidden for many years and survived in the shadows.

The court has the idea of the court, the rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the decline and rejuvenation of a civilization is the choice of the times. If the civilization of the rivers and lakes is really completely cut off here, then Yu Ding can only apologize for this, but he will never feel sorry.

But until then, everything is still going on naturally.

Regarding the location of Yu Yizhenglian's headquarters, Mu Haisen and several brothers in the clan did not consider renting a larger house outside, but after thinking about it, the result after careful calculation was that they did not have so much money. In this huge city, housing prices have skyrocketed, and they are not wealthy, and they can't scrape together so much money to rent a house outside.

There was no way, and in the end, the headquarters was located in Mu Haisen's home, in this simple small courtyard. However, this did not affect the mood of the Mu Haisen brothers, they were full of confidence in the career they were about to start, and believed that in the future, Yizheng Lian would definitely be able to recruit a wide range of disciples, and the disciples would be all over the world, becoming one of the top two famous sects in the rivers and lakes today, and their reputation was no less than that of Yu Ding, who was in the middle of the day.

Mu Haisen's daughter, Mu Duoduo, followed Mu Haisen early in the morning, pasting couplets, hanging banners, and placing tables, chairs and benches at the door, and she was very busy. The children didn't understand what their father was doing, but the children naturally liked to be lively, so they followed the adults and helped very hard.

After finishing everything, Mu Duoduo sat on the small bench at the door to rest, sweat oozed from his forehead, and his little pink face was flushed, which added a bit of cuteness. From time to time, her eyes looked into the distance, as if she was waiting for someone.

A man walked over, it was the last time Wu Hou came here, he met the man with stubble, he came to Mu Duoduo's side, squatted down with a smile on his face and asked the little girl, "Dodo, are you tired?"

Mu Duoduo looked at the man, grinned and replied, "I'm not tired." ”

The man complimented her, "Well, Dodo is awesome." ”

Mu Duoduo pursed his mouth, his little brows furrowed, and asked, "Uncle Hailin, didn't you say that the little grandfather would come today? Why haven't you seen him yet?" ”

Mu Hailin, who was called Uncle Hailin by Mu Duoduo, gently hugged the little girl and comforted her, "Don't worry, Duoduo will definitely come." Then Mu Hailin also looked into the distance, and happened to see the two people who turned a corner and walked to the road facing the door, he immediately smiled and touched Mu Duo's chin, and said, "Look, isn't he here?"

Mu Duoduo also looked up, and sure enough, she saw Duanmu Shenjiu and Wu Hou walking towards this side, and then she struggled a few times, jumped out of Mu Hailin's arms, and ran towards Duanmu Shenjiu.

"Little grandpa, little grandpa. Mu Duoduo shouted as he ran. The reason why she is called Duanmu Shenjiu Little Grandpa is because of Duanmu Shenjiu's young appearance, Duanmu Shenjiu has a high seniority, but she is unwilling to follow her father and uncles to call Duanmu Shenjiu Old Ancestor, so she adds a small word in front of her grandfather according to her own preferences, and always calls Duanmu Shenjiu Little Grandpa.

Duanmu Shenjiu, who was walking towards him, squatted down with a hearty smile and hugged Mu Duoduo who ran over, "Haha, little Duoduo, do you miss your grandfather?" "I think about it." Mu Duoduo happily hugged Duanmu Shenjiu's neck and lay his head on his shoulder.

When Wu Hou saw this, he also grinned, looking at the master doting on Mu Duoduo, but he didn't expect the master to have this side.

Duanmu Shenjiu patted Mu Duoduo's shoulder, Mu Duoduo straightened up and looked over, at this time, Duanmu Shenjiu took out a sunflower-style hairpin, pinned it on the little girl's head, looked left and right, and said, "Well, it's so beautiful." ”

Mu Duoduo's pupils looked up, but he couldn't see it, so he touched the hairpin with his hand and replied happily, "Thank you, little grandpa, you are also good-looking." After speaking, he also leaned on Duanmu Shenjiu's face and kissed it.

Duanmu Shenjiu smiled even more happily, and walked into the door with Mu Duoduo in his arms, Mu Hailin, who was standing on the side of the door, said hello to Duanmu Shenjiu, and walked in with Wu Hou.

There were five people sitting in the courtyard, around a dilapidated table of eight immortals, Mu Haisen was among them, he saw Duanmu Shenjiu walking in with Mu Duoduo in his arms, and quickly stood up, and the rest of the people also stood up.

"Ancestor. Mu Haisen was the first to shout.

Then the other four people said excitedly,

"Mu Haimu, see the ancestors. ”

"Mu Haijiang, see the ancestors. ”

"Mu Haichuan, see the ancestors. ”

"Mu Haiyue, see the old ancestor. ”

Together with Mu Hailin, who walked in with Duanmu Shenjiu, there were six people in the group, and these were the six brothers of the Mu family.

The people of Mu Haisen's clan who still practice martial arts are all in this courtyard, and the rest of the people either don't practice martial arts and change their lives as ordinary people, or they are already ordinary people, and they don't know what happened to the clan in the past.

Looking at the six people in front of him who were excited, Mu Duoduo, who was held in Duanmu Shenjiu's arms, shrank his head in fright, and didn't dare to look at everyone.

Wu Hou looked at Mu Haisen and joked with a smile, "Brother Sen, if you haven't seen you for a few months, you have to be the head." ”

Mu Hai replied with a smile, "If it weren't for this, the six of us brothers wouldn't be able to get together at one time today." ”

Wu Hou looked at the six strong men surnamed Hai in front of him, and said in surprise, "Are you brothers?"

Six brothers of the same age, all with different appearances, will surprise anyone who knows. Mu Haisen smiled and replied, "How can I be, my father's lineage is the only seedling, and they are all descendants of my grandfather's generation of cousins." ”

The rest of the people began to speak,

Mu Hailin said, "Big brother, you have a bad memory, my grandfather and your grandfather are brothers, not cousins. ”

Mu Haisen frowned and said, "Yes, I remember that my grandfather didn't have a brother, and a little sister was married far away." ”

Mu Haimu said, "Hailin, you are wrong, my grandfather and your grandfather are brothers, and Brother Sen's grandfather has no brothers." Mu Hailin scratched his head, and he couldn't remember clearly for a while.

Mu Haijiang said, "No, Haimu's grandfather didn't have a brother at the beginning, and Brother Sen's grandfather had a brother, that is, Hailin's grandfather." And Brother Sen, you forgot, the grandfather's uncle has an illegitimate son, who is Haichuan's grandfather, and the family tree that he entered later, Haichuan's grandfather and Haimu's grandfather have the same father, but they are also brothers. ”

Mu Haichuan said angrily, "You are nonsense, my grandfather is orthodox, not an illegitimate child, and that illegitimate child is not surnamed Mu Hao!"

"Huh?" Mu Haijiang sighed, "Did I remember wrong?"

Mu Haiyue, who had not spoken, said, "My grandfather's generation seems to have extended out again, and it was later attributed to the family tree of several of your grandfathers, and the grandfathers of you are not cousins." ”

Mu Haichuan glared and said, "You remember wrong, your grandfather and my grandfather are brothers, and the branch that extends out is actually Haijiang's grandfather, and his grandfather's door is not prosperous, and later merged into the vein of several of our grandfathers." ”

Several people argued like this in the courtyard, and what they said made people listen to it, Wu Hou pouted and looked at the red faces of these people fighting in front of them, and sighed in his heart, yes, a confused account.

After arguing endlessly, Mu Haisen couldn't help it in the end, and said angrily, "Shut up, I'll go get the family tree, you wait, if you don't clear it up today, it won't open!"

Mu Haijiang glanced at him and said, "Big brother, save it, the family tree was lost in your grandfather's generation, and it has not been renewed since it was lost, where can I check it?"

Mu Haisen slapped his head and said angrily, "Grandma's, forget about this!"

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at the Mu brothers of the six Haizi generations in front of him, shook his head secretly, and sighed that the current clan concept is really too weak, and this has not been out of the fifth generation, and it is already unclear.

Duanmu Shenjiu coughed a few times and said, "Okay, don't fight, I can't even remember these clearly, no wonder it didn't fall like this." ”

Several people faced the ancestor, but they didn't dare to say a hard word, so they had to cry and keep their mouths shut. Mu Haiyue muttered in a low voice, "We have been bullied for generations, and there is a hunt every ten or eight years, can we not decline... It's a blessing that I didn't die..."

Hearing this, a sad look flashed on Duanmu Shenjiu's face, and a trace of anger came to his heart.

"Don't worry, no one will dare to hunt you down in the future. ”

Mu Haichuan smiled and said, "That ancestor, you have to teach us some powerful martial arts, we are practicing nothing now, it is too useless." ”

Speaking of teaching martial arts, this is to the point, in the future, if you don't have a few sets of fists and feet, how to open the door and accept apprentices?

In fact, Duanmu Shenjiu had thought about this before, fortunately, he had visited various sects in the land of Kyushu back then, and each sect knew some kung fu, and now Yizheng Lian wanted to find a signature martial arts town, in his opinion, it was a piece of cake.

So Duanmu Shenjiu comforted a few people, "I will pass on martial arts to you." ”

Mu Haichuan slapped his palms, made a crisp sound, and nodded at the same time, "That's right." ”

The brothers laughed happily, you look at me, I look at you, happy like a group of teenagers. Mu Haisen looked up at the sun, it was already southerly, and the time was eleven o'clock, so he led everyone out of the door to prepare for the opening ceremony.

But outside the gate, the alley was empty, and if it weren't for a few people coming out of the courtyard, it was estimated that the tables and benches would have been stolen. Wu Hou stood to the side and looked at the items placed at the door, and the red couplets pasted on both sides of the door, and a plastic plate was hung above the door, on which the three words Yizheng Lian were written crookedly.

"How is this plaque plastic?" Wu Hou couldn't help but ask.

Mu Haisen's face turned red rarely, and he said embarrassedly, "The wooden one is expensive..."

Wu Hou couldn't help laughing, he almost laughed, if he hadn't seen Duanmu Shenjiu frowning and looking at the three words above his head, he would have made fun of Mu Haisen again. Who knew that Duanmu Shenjiu, who looked at Yizheng even three words, suddenly laughed and said, "This word is too ugly to write..."

Wu Hou didn't stop laughing, looking at the plaque, looking at the words, he couldn't say anything when he laughed, he was laughing, but the six Mu brothers were getting more and more sad. If they had money, they wouldn't be so simple, but they don't have money, so that's all they can do.

As if he had found the depression of the six people, even Mu Duoduo, who was sitting on the threshold, had a sad face, Wu Hou smiled and smiled, and slowly stopped, only then did he know that it was inappropriate for him to laugh like this, so he said embarrassedly, "Brother Sen, I don't mean anything else, you... I'm sorry..."

Duanmu Shenjiu shook his hand at Wu Hou, signaling that he didn't have to say any more, and then Duanmu Shenjiu came to the plaque with his hand, looked at the three words of Yizheng on the plaque, and thought about it.

Although the words are a little ugly, but if you are literate, you can also recognize it, and Mu Haisen's original intention of creating Yizhenglian is good, doing good deeds, doing good deeds, and still willing to do good deeds in the forbearance of being chased and killed by people for generations, which is enough to show that Mu Haisen has a good heart.

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at Yizheng and smiled, then turned to look at everyone and said, "Play music, light cannons, set off fireworks, open today, it's all lively!"

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, everyone didn't move.

On the big day of the opening, they were in front of the door, and it was too shabby. The tables, chairs and benches are dilapidated, a plaque is still plastic, other people's homes are opened, and there is an endless stream of guests, this side is open, the morning of the big winter is cold and deserted, except for the six brothers of the Mu family, the two masters and apprentices of Wu Hou, plus a little girl, and no one else.

Everyone's mood was a little low, the mood became heavy, everyone's face was gone, and it was a bleak scene, even Mu Duoduo, who was sitting on the threshold, also felt this depression.

Duanmu Shenjiu picked up Mu Dodo, who was sitting on the threshold, smiled gently, touched the tip of the little girl's nose with his fingers, and then turned around to look at everyone, and said: "On the big day, don't be sad, hurry up, play music, light cannons, set off fireworks, and we have to have lunch together when it's over, you say yes, Xiao Dodo." ”

Mu Duo's teary eyes nodded firmly, "Hmm! Ignite fireworks! Quick!" Then he struggled down from Duanmu Shenjiu's arms, ran to the pile of fireworks placed on the side of the door, and the little man picked up a bucket of fireworks that was about to catch up with his height, and struggled to move it to the open area.

The little girl skillfully found the lead, but then she cried again, for she had no lighter to light the lead. At this time, Wu Hou walked over, took out a lighter, squatted down and said, "Dodo, take out all the things, I'll have some." ”

Mu Duoduo smiled happily, "Okay!"

One year old and two children, putting fireworks and firecrackers on the road in front of the door, the six Mu brothers looked at this scene blankly, with mixed feelings.

Wu Hou looked at everyone and shouted, "Cover your ears, Brother Sen, sing a song, I'm on fire!"

Mu Haisen took a deep breath, held back the tears that were about to fall, clapped his hands and called the five brothers, and sang first, and then the other five people also sang with Mu Haisen.

They were shabby, standing in the alley in winter, without even a sound, so they could only sing together.
