Volume 1 Mortal Realm Chapter 19 Introductory Martial Arts
Tanaka said that in the entire Zhou Kingdom, only the Zhou family and the Shenjimen are the largest martial arts families, and this Zhou family is based on martial arts, and it also has some names in the entire Fire Country. But the Zhou family has been passed down from generation to generation and never accepts children from outside the family. The inner disciples control the army, and the army only recruits skilled men.
The Shenji Gate is different, the Shenji Gate is not allowed to have an army, but the Shenji Gate is divided into the inner door and the outer door, the inner door is the Tang family, the outer door is the conscripted people with foreign surnames, and the Shenji Gate is to teach the children of the outer door. Although it is not a family heirloom exercise of the Tang family, with the strength of the Shenji Gate, it is also a superior exercise snatched from other sects. Generally, the true transmission exercises of the sect are not comparable to the outer door exercises of the Divine Machine. This is also one of the reasons why the Shenji Gate is strong, the children of the outer sect are quite large, although the Zhou State restricts his development and cannot catch up with the millions of troops of the Zhou Kingdom, but there are more than 100,000 disciples of the outer gate. If there is a real fight, this million army may not be able to defeat these 100,000 foreign disciples. Therefore, the Shenjimen has long been eyeing the tiger, and there is no day when he doesn't want to expand his power and doesn't take the Zhou royal family in his eyes. I suggest you join the Divine Machine Sect Aliens.
Taichu listened and said: "Uncle Tian, I won't tell you anything, I have a deep blood feud with this Divine Machine Gate, no matter what, it is impossible to enter the Divine Machine Gate to learn art." ”
Tanaka said: "As far as I know, there is also a small sect in this Tang Wu City, which used to be the Megatron Zhou Kingdom, but was later suppressed by the Shenji Gate, moved out of Tang Wu City, and entered the mountains. Although the sect is small, in order to make a comeback, it also recruits disciples from outside the sect. ”
Tai Chu asked, "How could Uncle Tian know so much about the past of this Tang Wucheng sect?"
Tanaka said: "The head of this sect once served with me in the Imperial Court of the Kingdom of Wood. Later, because he offended the powerful, he returned to his hometown and lived in seclusion here. The head of the family is loyal and kind, I am familiar with him, like a brother, if you want to enter his sect, I can introduce you and help you get started. ”
Taichu said: "This is very good, what is this person's surname, and where is the sect?"
Tanaka said: "I don't know where his sect is, this person's name is Wu Cheng, and the sect's name is Tianluomen." This Tianluomen is also an ancient sect that has been inherited for thousands of years, and Tianluomen has a treasure Xuanbing Tianluo umbrella, which specializes in restraining the secret weapons of the Divine Machine Gate. In the past, the Tianluo Gate of the Wu family was as famous as the Shenji Gate of the Tang family, so this place was called Tang Wucheng. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, it is said that Tianluomen and Shenjimen have long had a grudge, and there are conflicts from time to time, but most of them are Tianluomen who suffers. In order to defeat the Shenjimen and gain a foothold in Tang Wucheng, Tianluomen began to form an alliance with the imperial family of the Zhou State, and they had close contacts and threatened the Shenjimen, and the Shenjimen found an excuse to have a sect war with Tianluomen, and Tianluomen was completely defeated and driven out of Tang Wucheng. The descendants of the martial arts family lived in seclusion in Chengjiazhai and changed their name to Chengwu. ”
Taichu said: "My family has been living in Chengjiazhai, and I have heard of Chengjia, Chengjia is a big family, but the door is closed all day long, and I rarely interact with people, but people in the village say that Chengjia is a family of martial arts." ”
Tanaka said: "Tomorrow I will take you to Chengjiazhai to learn the arts, they have a deep grudge against the Shenji Gate, and they are extremely low-key and cautious. If it weren't for the Xuanbing Tianluo Umbrella in exchange for the blessing of the Martial Arts Sect, I'm afraid that the Divine Machine Gate would have not allowed them to exist in Tang Wucheng a long time ago. If someone who doesn't know the details gets started, he may not take it in. ”
Early the next morning, Tanaka and Taichu said goodbye to Xinlan, took a Shenxing car to Chengjiazhai, and walked for a few days, and the two talked a lot on the road, and they didn't talk about it in detail. When it was already sunset, Tanaka came to the door of the family and knocked on the door, and it was the old housekeeper of the family who came out to open the door, the old housekeeper followed Wu Cheng for many years, and the old man's surname was Wu, and the housekeeper knew Tanaka, and he didn't report it, so he took Tanaka directly to the living room, and then went to inform Wu Cheng. Taichu thought that it seemed that this Tanaka did have a deep relationship with Wu Gong, and the housekeeper dared to bring him in directly.
After a while, Wu Cheng hurried to the hospitality hall. Seeing Tanaka, the two hugged each other, and the brother wanted to weigh it, and shed a few tears. Tanaka said: "It's all because I have been involved in Brother Wu's career in the country of wood, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen to this point with the backer of the country of wood." ”
Wu Chengdao: "You and I are confidants, you are so different from me, it is not that you hurt my brother's heart." Besides, you and I are both straightforward people, it is difficult to mix in the court, and it is a matter of time before we are excluded. As he spoke, he took a seat and let the servant serve tea.
Tanaka hadn't seen Wu Cheng for many years, and he also remembered in his heart: "After the eldest brother came back from the wood country, everything went well!"
Wu Cheng took a breath, and said with a trace of helplessness on his face: "Hey, Brother Xian also knows my temperament, when my father asked me to go to Muguo to find an errand, I hope I can make some achievements, with Muguo as a backer, I am also expected to revitalize Tianluomen, but my temperament is strong, I don't know how to cater to flattery, and I have many conflicts with my boss, so I can't get mixed up, and I spent more than ten years in vain, and I didn't achieve anything, so I had to return to the sect." My father was overworked, and I passed away not long after I came back, and it was really difficult for me to support Tianluomen alone!"
Tanaka said with some guilt: "If it weren't for my brother standing up for me, I wouldn't have ended up in such a situation, which makes me unbearable!"
Wu Cheng smiled heartily: "Haha, Brother Xian thinks too much, I have a deep grudge with that person, and I have long intended to leave." Wu Cheng was afraid that Tanaka would be entangled in this and couldn't extricate himself, so he changed his words and said, "What is the matter with Brother Xian coming today?"
Tanaka is not a mother-in-law's mother-in-law, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, and he no longer dwells on the past, he directly cut to the chase, and said to Wu Cheng: "Big brother, I really have something to ask for today." ”
Wu Cheng asked: "Why is the virtuous brother coming?" As long as I can do it, after all, I will do my best!"
Tanaka was very grateful when he heard it, it was rare to have a friend in life who didn't care about the gains and losses, he pulled Taichu and said, "Big brother knows this baby." ”
Wu Cheng knew himself and said, "This is not Lear's son. ”
Tanaka said: "Exactly, he wants to enter your sect to practice martial arts." ”
Wu Cheng hesitated slightly: "Brother Xian, you also know that in order to avoid the Shenji Gate, now my sect is living in seclusion in the mountains, and my martial family has changed its name and surname to settle down here to run a business, so as to support the sect's expenses." If this doll enters my sect, internal and external troubles, I am afraid that it will inevitably have to suffer some hardships. This Wu Cheng had to maintain the sect out of his family mission, but in fact, he was already disheartened in his heart, and he had the intention of retiring, and he didn't want to have anything to do with the imperial court, let alone set foot in the rivers and lakes.
Taichu never spoke, and when he heard Wu Cheng's words, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Wu, I'm not afraid of hardship!" Wu Cheng patted Taichu's little head, shook his head and sighed.
Tanaka took out 100,000 taels of silver tickets and put them on the table, which was given to Tanaka when Xinlan went out, in case of emergency.
Wu Cheng hurriedly said: "Brother Xian, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I was afraid that this kid would be involved in the battle between Tianluomen and Shenjimen, so quickly put away your silver ticket." ”
Tanaka said: "Big brother, this kid also has a deep blood feud with the Shenji Gate, I think you can guess it." In addition, I owe you a debt, and you are short of money, and since I have taken out this silver ticket, I will definitely not put it away again. ”
Wu Chengdao: "Dissatisfied with the virtuous brother, my business is bleak, and the sect is indeed short of silver taels." These 100,000 taels of silver are worth our expenses in the past ten years. With this silver tael, I can recruit disciples here, expand the mountain gate, and revitalize the Tianluo Gate. ”
Taichu's mind was very bright, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for the grace of the master to take in the art, I will never forget the great kindness of the master, revitalize my faction, and eliminate the Shenji Gate." ”
Wu Cheng saw that this kid respected his teacher and liked it very much. It was even more to see Tanaka's face, especially the silver, which also made him quite tempted, and there was no reason to refuse, so he nodded and agreed. Wu Cheng hospitably entertained the two, arranged for them to stay, and then went to Tanaka's room to talk about it late at night before they dispersed.
In the early morning of the second day, Tanaka said goodbye and returned home in a divine car, informing Xinlan of the details of Taichu's side. When Xinlan heard that her son had entered Tianluomen, she was both happy and worried.
Wu Cheng took Taichu into the deep mountains, and the housekeeper walked with a few disciples, for more than two or three hundred miles, and there was indeed a house in a valley, with hundreds of bedrooms, and the houses were simple and dilapidated. But the terrain here is still very good, surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and there is only one entrance to the south, which is a natural fortress. Outside the mountain gate, there is an iron thistle to prevent wild beasts from attacking. On both sides of the mountain gate, there are crossbowmen guarding in shifts. The mountain gate is patrolled by the team on duty, which is simply impregnable.
When Wu Cheng came to the mountain gate, the disciples who were guarding saw Wu Cheng and his party from a distance, opened the mountain gate, lined up on both sides, and bowed and saluted. Wu Cheng didn't say anything and entered the mountain gate.
Wucheng is mostly in the mountain gate, and he will take a few days out of Chengjiazhai every month to buy food and take care of business. Taichu and Tanaka were also lucky, he happened to be at home, if it was a day late, he wouldn't be able to see him.
After entering the mountain gate, Wu Cheng handed over the supplies he brought over to the housekeeper and asked him to arrange for disposal. I took Taichu to the martial arts arena, and the Luomen martial arts arena was very vast on this day, and there was a martial arts competition platform on the north side. Wu Cheng gathered all the disciples, and there were actually as many as a thousand people. These people are usually very closely guarded and are not allowed to go out casually. The disciples lined up in the martial arts arena. The more than 800 people in front are inner disciples, all of whom are surnamed Wu, although they are divided into clans and branches, they are all authentic bloodline descendants of the martial family. The inner door is divided into 12 halls, each hall has sixty or seventy people, the sect is Chenlong Hall, the number is the largest, there are more than 100 people.
The more than 200 people in the back are outer disciples, all of whom were brought from their hometowns by their cronies, and they are also divided into 12 halls, each with less than 20 people. In the past, there were 5,000 to 10,000 disciples in each hall, which shows how cold they are now.
Wu Cheng arranged Taichu in Yinhu Hall, one of the twelve halls of the outer gate, and told the hall master Wu Yang to take good care of it, and not to be lazy.
Wu Yang is a child of a separate family and is the head of the hall at the outer gate. There are also in their forties this year. Because of the situation of the Celestial Sects, they were extremely wary of the outer disciples, and they were not friendly. In the past, the hall was all foreign surnames as hall masters, but since entering this deep mountain, the hall masters have been replaced by martial arts families, and they don't trust outsiders, which also hurts the hearts of outer disciples, and this martial arts family has its own reasons for slumping. The inner door is the clan family oppression and separation, and the outer door is not trusting others with foreign surnames, where is it still good to operate.
Wu Cheng dispersed after speaking a few words, it seems that he really doesn't have any big thoughts about the sect. Wu Yang arranged a room for Taichu, it turned out to be a two-person room, Wu Yang and Taichu said: "There is a shortage of houses here, and the other disciples are eight-person rooms, and the head of the house specially told you to arrange a room for two people, and I have high hopes for you, I hope that you will be good at practicing martial arts, and don't live up to the trust of the master." ”
Taichu understood that this was the special care of the head of the house, and Yinliang and Tanaka still played a great role.
"Thanks to the helper and hall master, I will work hard to practice and magnify my faction!" At the beginning, he didn't forget to say a few polite words.
Wu Yang left, Taichu was naturally ecstatic, a person has been depressed by life for too long, the more desperate he goes, and now he finally sees a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of light, how can he not be happy. Taichu was still a child after all, and the child's naivety made him full of longing for Tianluomen, he seemed to see the future, and he faced the Shenji Gate alone, killing them without leaving a piece of armor.
Where there are people, there is fighting, and where there are rivers and lakes, there is killing! Tianluomen is not a comfortable nest, this is another river and lake!
