Chapter 86: Master and Father (6)

"Hidden Gate, it looks like you're not unfamiliar with this name?"

After pouring himself a cup of tea, Zhu Wudong put the cup under his nose and gently inhaled the fragrance of the tea, and then put the cup of tea down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hidden Door...... Could it be a teacher...... Is it from the Hidden Gate?"

Thinking of all the martial arts taught by Mr. Wu, including the set of swordsmanship that Sikong Gu used in Yangzhou, Yang Shuo couldn't help but bring the hidden door and Mr. Wu to Naxi together.

"The name of Wu Qingshan is quite loud in the rivers and lakes, boy, do you know that the old and decrepit word is the word 'Qingshan'?"

Seeing Yang Shuo's surprised appearance, Zhu Wudong smiled slightly, then drank the cup of hot tea on the table, and continued: "The hidden gate is in the middle of the rivers and lakes, it has probably become some kind of demon gate or cult, right......?

"It turns out that the seniors also know how famous the Hidden Gate is in the rivers and lakes......" Yang Shuo hesitated slightly, but before he could speak, Zhu Wudong had already explained to him.

"I know, this is not surprising, after all, this method of slandering others is crooked, and there are not many people in the rivers and lakes who know better than the people in the hidden door. Since you kid wants to know the origin of the scar on my face, it's best not to interrupt again, and let me talk slowly......"

When Zhu Wudong said this, he took off the hat, and Yang Shuo realized at this time that it turned out that Zhu Wudong's entire head was covered with scars, not only the scars on his face were shocking, but the scars on the top of his head were even more terrifying. On Zhu Wudong's not too big head, even if Yang Shuo took a cursory look at it at the moment, he could also find that there were more than 100 of these scars.

When Zhu Wudong saw Yang Shuo's expression, he smiled bitterly, and began to tell some of the past that he couldn't forget no matter how he tried......

The hidden door, which was called the "Demon Gate" by the people in the rivers and lakes about forty years ago, was not actually born forty years ago, if you trace the history of the hidden door, it can be traced back to the end of the Han Dynasty. This is not to say that the Yinmen was established in the late Han Dynasty, but because of the longer history, when Hu Rong moved south and crossed to the south, it was destroyed by war, and some of the remaining Wenzong are only some letters from the masters of the late Han Dynasty.

Although the history of the hidden door is extremely long, but it became the first major faction in the rivers and lakes, but when Emperor Wen of Sui ruled the world, there were two major sects in the rivers and lakes at that time, one faction was called the "Demon Gate" by later generations, and the other faction was the Hidden Gate. These two factions both support the Yang clan and are the two major backers behind the Yang clan, if it weren't for these two major factions, the Yang clan would never have been able to monitor the countless gate valves in the world at that time, and it would have been impossible to dominate the world.

However, when it came to Emperor Yang, because Emperor Yang of Sui vigorously suppressed the family gate valve, the family gate valve saw that the power was gradually withdrawn from the hands of Emperor Yang, and these family gate valves who had been in control of private soldiers for generations could accept it as a local tyrant? So the world rekindled the flames of war, but this time, the hidden door voted for the new master. After Li Tang unified the country, the sects that had supported the Yuwen family, Dou Jiande and other gate valves were called the "Demon Gate" in the rivers and lakes controlled by the imperial court notice and the hidden gate.

Although this "Demon Gate" has voted for the wrong master several times, its strength is not inferior to that of the Hidden Gate, so although Li Tang clearly defined him as a "bandit", because the foundation was not stable, and the internal and external troubles had not been eliminated, he did not dare to rashly send troops to clear it.

Hong Chen, who was the new 80th head of the Hidden Gate, issued a "Demon Slaying Order" and joined forces with the Kunlun, Shaolin, the Beggar Gang, Tianshan, and other major factions in the rivers and lakes to wipe out the "Demon Gate" in the middle of the rivers and lakes. Finally, during the Zhenguan period, Hong Chen led the Wulin Alliance to successfully exterminate the remnants of the "Demon Gate" hiding in Bashu, although Hong Chen died in that battle, but the hidden door still became a well-deserved overlord in the rivers and lakes.

However, because of the special relationship between the Hidden Gate and the Li family, and even more out of the consideration of the consistent style of acting, Hong Renhua, the new master of the Hidden Gate, finally did not choose to continue to serve as the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and announced the dissolution of the Martial Arts Alliance. Since then, the hidden door has become a sharp sword in the hands of the Li family, and when the Wu family was in turmoil, it was the hidden door that protected the descendants of the Li family, so that the Li family finally regained the country.

As long as he does things for the Li family and the imperial court, the hidden door can control the general trend of the rivers and lakes at will, and become a divine sword in the hands of the imperial court. But the good times didn't last long, after the Yuyang drum broke the world, the hidden gate that has become a behemoth has had the first split, in this rebellion led by An Lushan, the hidden door is also divided into two major factions, the disciples of any of them are hundreds of times stronger than the well-known Jianghu factions of Shaolin and Kunlun.

But because of the different bets, not long after the establishment of the new sect in the contemporary generation, when the world was almost calm, the hidden door had already been killed in the dark, and the two factions elected countless door masters, none of whom died well. After less than ten years of chaos in the world, the strength of the hidden door has become less than before the chaos.

As a result, although the support for the Li faction was victorious, because of cannibalism, the hidden door of the disciples in the sect who died nine times was no longer as terrifying as in the past. And because of the fact that about half of the people in the Hidden Gate defected to the traitors in this turmoil, there was actually a lot of estrangement between the imperial court and the Hidden Gate. Even at that time, the door master Hong Ji, who smoothed the cracks in the door and readmitted some disciples back to the hidden door, had to leave a request to the successor door master Hong De:

"In this battle, although the Li family won, but we lost, if we can't be people with our tails between our legs in the future, I'm afraid that those literati who talk about it in the court will think that we are no longer under their control...... You also know what kind of attitude these family lords have towards us children of the rivers and lakes, if this family wants to be revived, I hope it will no longer be in court. ”

"So, what does Daddy mean ......"

"In the palace, the generations of warriors and civil officials have changed, even if they are rewarded for their titles, they are only a few generations of glory, and only the emperor's family has been passed down for generations...... Generations ......"

Hong Ji's words changed in Hong De's ears, and this "imperial family" was heard by Hong De as the "Li family".

Therefore, the Li regime continued to decline, and the hidden gate also continued to decline, although it is said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the hidden door in the rivers and lakes compared with the vigorous development of Shaolin, and in the Anshi Rebellion in the name of "quelling the chaos and suppressing bandits" and entered the Bashu, but it can still be called a behemoth. Although the days of being able to stir up storms in the rivers and lakes with the touch of a finger are gone, with the secret books in the door and the strong relationship formed over the years for the Li family, he can still maintain the dignity of the number one faction in the rivers and lakes.

However, in the end, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, when the head of Qiantou was unveiled and the festival made a rebellion, the death knell of the hidden door finally sounded throughout the rivers and lakes. (To be continued.) )
