Tang Zhong said: "Before the death of the first master, the four treasures were passed on to his four sons, and after his death, the sons divided the family property into four, and later generations called these four people 'the four sons of the Tang Sect'." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xie Qinxin said I know this, Xiaoyu said it last night, and nodded.

Tang Zhong said again: "The four sons of the Tang Sect held the four treasures, spread the branches and leaves, and established the hall, and there were four halls of Nine Poisons, Red Fire, Xuanscepter, and Ziming. The four halls divide the master's skills into four, and there are specializations in the arts, such as the Nine Poison Hall and the Xuanzhu Hall specializing in poisons......"

Xie Qin said: "One is fatal and the other is not fatal, I know this." ”

Tang Zhong nodded, and said: "It's not that there has been no infighting in our sect in the past - the original four sons of the Tang Sect intrigued and fought each other in order to compete for the position of the master of the sect, and even intensified to the point of fighting each other for a time. At that time, the four halls were still in Tangjiabao, and they launched many fires with each other, saying that it was a firefight, but in fact, it should be more appropriate to call it a big fight, because the strength was comparable, and the casualties of the four halls were very heavy. Later, the elders of the same generation as the original sect master came forward to mediate, and proposed that the four halls put aside the dispute and negotiate to elect a door master. ”

Xie Qin said: "If we could negotiate, we wouldn't have fought in the first place." ”

Tang Zhong shook his head and said: "That's different, at the beginning, Sitang was confident that the soldiers were strong and strong, and it was impossible to sit down and talk honestly. Later, after many confrontations, the four halls already knew that with the strength of one hall, they could not comprehensively suppress the other hall, coupled with heavy losses, they were unable to fight again, and the timing of the elders' mediation could be said to be very clever. ”

It doesn t matter if you are disobedient at first, you will definitely be obedient when you are tired of tossing, Xie Qin nodded secretly, those elders are smart.

Tang Zhong said: "Of course, if you let the four halls choose by themselves, then they will definitely not be elected." ”

Obviously, Sechin thought to himself, this is the same reason as in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, where the pirate conventions never elect a pirate king - because the pirates only vote for themselves.

Tang Zhong said: "So, it is said that it is a negotiated election, in fact, it is the elders of those uncles' generation who negotiate the election on their own, although the four sons have no objection to this, but they all look at the position of the master of the red door, and naturally they will inevitably give gifts and canvass for votes, this process is not mentioned, in short, a new master of the door was finally elected, which is the hall master of Zimingtang."

"The so-called time and time, after the second generation of the master took office, his vision was naturally broadened, and he should focus on the overall situation of the Tang Sect, rather than being limited to a small profit. At that time, the separation of the four halls was a foregone conclusion, and it could not be easier, so the top priority was to avoid the four halls from reverting to the fire when the head of the sect changed. The new master listened to the elders, and ordered the churches to move out of Tangjiabao and set up churches in other places, including his own Xuanzhu Hall.

At the same time, the new master also announced his resignation as the head of the hall and passed the throne to his son, which was a statement to the other three halls, in order to show that he would not be biased and treat the four halls equally. He also wrote this move into the rules of the Tang Sect, and when the door master took office, he had to resign as a hall master, and the other three hall masters, when they were old and weak, would also take the initiative to resign and move to Tangjiabao, as an elder, to give advice to the door master. ”

If it is only biased towards the Xuanzhu Hall, it will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of the other three halls, this kind of personal behavior will not last long, if the three halls are in a hurry, they are likely to attack it in groups. Xie Qin secretly thought in his heart, and praised it, not to be blinded by Xiaoli, for the sake of the overall situation of the sect, this second-generation sect master is really a big man, and those elders did not choose the wrong person.

Tang Zhong said: "The second generation of the gate master ordered the four halls to be separated from each other to avoid them fighting for power, on the other hand, the four halls are located in the four sides of Tangjiabao, and there is also the benefit of reconnaissance and guarding, so as to achieve the purpose of defending Tangjiabao." In the back gate, the master sits in Tangjiabao, and Tangjiabao has become the power center of our gate, and has absolute control over the four halls, as long as it is Tangjiabao's orders, the four halls must obey them unconditionally. Tangjiabao remote control four halls, four halls to guard Tangjiabao, Sichuan knows the situation of our door of the Jianghu people so rumored that our door is 'one fort governs four halls, four halls guard one fort'. ”

"I see. Xie Qin suddenly realized.

Tang Zhong said: "But I also said just now, it was a long time ago, because the power of the sect master is too great, if he acts recklessly, and the elders can't check and balance, it will be a disaster for the four halls." Therefore, the four halls have always been dissatisfied with this, and many hall masters have united to protest to the castle, and some extremists have even rebelled out of the Tang Gate. This kind of thing happened a lot, and some changes were made in the fort, and the four halls were relatively independent in the future, and they had the power to choose whether to implement the instructions in the fort or not. ”

It was the first time Xie Qin had heard these secrets, and when he looked at everyone, he saw that they also showed a sudden expression, and he knew in his heart that the Tang Sect had always been haunted in the rivers and lakes, so the people in the rivers and lakes knew only rumors. These secrets can't be passed on in the future, but Tang Zhong is telling them all now, he is very worried about Tang Ruoruo's comfort.

I'm also very worried!

You can't delay any longer, now that you have a general understanding of the Tang Gate, let's get to the point as soon as possible!

Thinking so, Xie Qin said: "I understand, you can tell me about the current situation. ”

Xu Huan said, "This is also what I want to know." ”

Tang Zhong said: "Now, there are very few control over the four halls in the castle, and they are allowed to develop, so the Nine Poisons Hall can be expanded." In fact, it is not the only one that vigorously develops the outer gate, and the same is true of the Red Fire Hall, but its strength is far inferior to the Nine Poison Hall. And the Xuanzhu Hall and our Ziming Hall didn't care much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes many years ago, not to mention the Nine Poisons Hall, even compared to the Red Fire Hall, it was also a cut off. ”

"What is the relationship between the several halls of you?" asked Xu Huan.

Tang Zhongdao: Our Zimingtang and Xuanzhutang have been friends for generations, and although Miss and Tang Shuyan are cousins, they are like brothers and sisters. ”

"What about your relationship with the Nine Poisons Hall?" Xu Huan asked again.

Tang Zhong said: "There is no intersection. ”

"No intersection?" Xu Huan repeated.

Tang Zhong said: "Yes, there is no intersection, because our Ziming Hall lives our own lives, and we only have close contacts with the Xuanzhu Hall, as for the Nine Poisons Hall and the Red Fire Hall, except for the castle meeting that the hall master attends every year, there is basically no contact, and there is no talk of likes and dislikes." ”

Over there, Xu Huan listened to Tang Zhong's words and responded, "In other words, you don't have any thoughts about the expansion of the Nine Poison Hall. ”

"Yes, it has nothing to do with my church anyway. Tang Zhong affirmed.

Xu Huan said: "I understand, what is the relationship between the Xuanzhu Hall and the Nine Poisons Hall, is it attached to the Nine Poisons Hall, or is there a cooperative ......relationship?"

Tang Zhong said: "No, if there is, I won't be unable to figure it out." In the past, when the master of the Xuanzhu Hall was still in good health, he often visited our hall with Tang Shuyan. I haven't heard them talk about the Nine Poisons Hall, and I think that the Xuanzhu Hall's attitude towards the Nine Poisons Hall should be similar to ours. ”

"When the hall master of the Xuanscepter Hall is still well?" Xu Huan caught something.

Tang Zhong said: "That was a few years ago, and later Tang Jiaji, the master of the Xuanzhu Hall, became seriously ill and was bedridden, and the affairs of the hall were represented by his son Tang Shuyan. ”

"That's it. Xu Huan's words changed, "What is the relationship between the Nine Poison Hall and the Red Fire Hall?"

Tang Zhong said: "I don't know much about the Red Fire Hall, because the Red Fire Hall Master Tang Jiahua is very low-key. However, the Red Fire Hall only began to expand after the rise of the Nine Poison Hall, and the means were the same as the Nine Poison Hall, expanding the scale of the outer gate, using it as cannon fodder, and annexing the surrounding gangs. It is said that because of this, Tang Jiahua, the master of the Nine Poisons Hall, looks down on Tang Jiahua very much. ”

"Hmm...... It's a delicate relationship. Xu Huan paused and asked again, "Is there any conflict between these two halls?"

Tang Zhong said: "No, Tang Jiahua may have the intention to find the bad luck of the Red Fire Hall, but I haven't heard that there is a conflict between the two of them, maybe Tang Jiahua knows very well that the strength of the Red Fire Hall cannot compete with the Nine Poison Hall, and has adopted the attitude of taking the lead in everything." ”

Xie Qin almost laughed, but felt that the occasion was inappropriate, so he held back.

Xie Qin endured it, but it doesn't mean that everyone can hold back.

"Well, what a fool of everything. Xu Huan laughed twice.

Tang Zhong said: "That's what our hall master said. ”

His tone was serious, but his expression changed from his previous stiffness, and he relaxed a little, as did the others, and the witticism really had the effect of easing the atmosphere.

"In other words, even if Chihuotang wants to find fault, Chihuotang will take the first step, right?" Xu Huan said.

What the hell is it like to take a step first...... Xie Qin stiffened his face and said in his heart, don't deliberately make me laugh!

"That's it. The corners of Tang Zhong's mouth rose slightly.

Xu Huan said: "This really can't cause a conflict. Then the conversation changed, "I heard that your young lady is also very close to him, not a brother or sister, but better than a brother and sister." ”

Tang Zhong's expression froze, he paused for a while, and then sighed and said, "Yes." ”

"Oh," Xu Huan said, "Brother Zhong, how is your relationship with Tang Shuyan?"

Tang Zhong fell silent again, and after a while, he squeezed out a sentence from his tight mouth: "...... Sort of a friend. ”

Xie Qin had heard Tang Zhong talk about the close relationship between Zimingtang and Xuanzhutang many times before, and he secretly thought in his heart that the relationship between Tang Zhong and Tang Shuyan might be more than just a friend he said.

The deeper the friendship, the deeper the injury, thinking of this, Xie Qin glanced at Tang Zhong sympathetically, although his face was as usual, but it was conceivable that he must be very painful in his heart.

"Well, I see...... Xu Huan's voice also paused, as if he was thinking, "I think, that's why he didn't kill you." ”

“...... What do you mean?" Tang Zhong asked with a frown.

Xu Huan said: "I mean, although Tang Shuyan is an enemy of your Zimingtang for some reason, he can't let go of his friendship with you, so he didn't kill you, nor did he kill your young lady." ”

"How do you know he's not ...... to Miss"

Tang Zhong only said half of it, and he really couldn't say the second half of the sentence.

Xu Huan said: "This is very simple, if he really has murderous intentions, he will not spend that brain cell to make up such a drama to coax Brother Qin and Brother Fuji." So I don't think he should be unfavorable to Tang Ruoruo. ”
