This negotiation was said to be in advance, but in fact it didn't mention much, it was just four or five days early.
Mainly because of the rumor a few days ago that "Murong Family has invited Dong Xie Xi Du and Tian Xia No. 1 Gun to help" made the Baquan Sect a little unable to sit still. Huo Ming thought about it and proposed... "How about we
Let’s start talking early, right? You won’t be short of time in the past few days.”
Murong Shu himself did not refuse: firstly, he felt that with the current financial resources of the Murong family, I had the advantage, so we could discuss it early and get it done early; secondly, as an outsider, he still had to give the Baquan Sect, the largest local power, some degree.
To help save some face... At the moment, he has chosen to "let the guest do as he pleases". After that, no matter what the outcome of the negotiation is, it will be easier for both parties to step down.
To make a long story short, the appointed day arrived in a blink of an eye.
Early that morning, people from all walks of life gathered one after another at the helm of Ba Fist Sect's city.
It should be mentioned here that the helm of Ba Fist Sect was actually the "Huo Family Martial Arts School" back then; Huo Ming was killed by his enemies when he was twenty-two years old, and did not return to the world until he was twenty-nine years old.
At that time, he founded the original Baquan Sect in this ancestral house that had been abandoned for several years.
Later, as the Ba Fist Sect's foundation grew bigger and bigger, and there were more and more disciples, this martial arts hall naturally could no longer accommodate it, so Huo Ming bought some surrounding land and expanded the place several times.
But no matter how much you expand, there is a limit, and it is impossible for you to build a "city within a city". Therefore, in the end, the sect leader of the Baquan Sect was moved to the outskirts of the city and became a "mountain gate", and this martial arts
The pavilion became their steering port in the city.
Although it is just a steering port, its scale is much larger than many sects like the "Hundred Turns and Thousand Swordsmen", so there is no problem in receiving hundreds of people here.
So who are the people here today?
Except for the troops brought by the Ba Fist Sect and the Murong Family, the rest are undoubtedly "heroes from the world" who came to join in the fun.
First of all, there are celebrities like Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, as well as long-established big shots like the abbot and Dugu father and son. When they come, they don’t have to give their names at all. They haven’t even reached the door yet. The receptionist is
The minions had already welcomed them in from afar, and the gold and silver oxen accompanying them were naturally able to get in.
Secondly, there are some martial arts warriors who are not so famous, but everyone has heard of them since they reported their family status, as well as some famous local leaders, such as... the Shao family father and son, Lao Gao father and daughter, etc.
When these people came to the door, the disciples of Ba Fist Sect also treated each other with courtesy and greeted them with smiles.
And finally, there are some completely unknown gangsters, or people in the market trying to sneak in to watch the excitement; these people will probably not be able to get in, but it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net... But it doesn't matter,
This is even acquiesced by both parties to the negotiation.
Because there are many things in Jianghu, it is necessary to "mix the good and the bad" to have the flavor of Jianghu.
We often hear someone say in some major martial arts events - "I urge all heroes and heroes from all walks of life to bear witness here today."
The "various paths" here not only refer to coming from different places, but also refer to different sects, different origins, different outlooks, and different "classes."
In this river and lake, after all, "dragons" are only a minority, and the vast majority of people are "fish". There are big fish, small fish, and miscellaneous fish... If you want to do a big thing now, even if it is related to
People below the level of "little fish" are irrelevant, and you can't completely exclude them. You have to let them "witness", "know", "discuss", and "spread"...
This is the obligation you must fulfill when doing important things in the martial arts world, and it is also a sharing of responsibilities.
This approach of "allowing people from all walks of life to participate and express opinions from their own perspectives" is, in a way, testing public opinion and assessing risks... It is a method that has been proven after years of practice.
The wisdom of doing more good than harm.
Of course, if you don't follow this path and want to solve problems by yourself, you can do big things in silence, but then you have to bear all the risks and costs yourself.
Therefore, many big figures or organizations in the arena turn a blind eye to the phenomenon of small shrimps getting mixed up in such situations. There are only some who are narrow-minded and lack wisdom in the arena, or a very few who are really a little bit.
Only stupid people would take this kind of problem seriously.
"Eh? Who are you? Where did you come from? Who asked you to come in?" No, right now Lei Buji, a silly boy, is strictly executing the boss's order of "No idlers allowed in" in the venue.
Arresting people for questioning everywhere.
No one cares about him, because they all know that he is such a famous person...
Who makes this kid look so distinctive? His big black face makes him look like he is thirty-nine when he is nineteen. He also speaks in a confused and rushed manner, making it difficult for others to pretend to be him.
Furthermore, the fact that the son of the Eight Desolate Boxing Saints joined the Ba Fist Sect has become no secret in the world over the past few years. Even people who have never met him have heard of it... If you
If you meet such an upright black guy in the Ba Fist Sect, there is a high probability that it is him.
"Xiao Sha, look who we are?"
Just when Lei Buji was asking random questions, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder and said something quite rude.
When Lei Buji heard this, he turned around and wanted to rant, but when he saw it, hey, they were acquaintances: "Eh? Brother Sun, Brother Huang, it's you!"
Seeing these two old friends, Lei Buji's joy was beyond words. He laughed out loud and greeted them warmly.
After talking for several times, he saw a few more people following Shuangxie: "Eh? You two are not that kind of gold and silver..."
Before the word "zhai" came out of Lei Buji's mouth, Huang Donglai quickly covered his mouth. Niu Youjin and Niu Youyin also stepped forward, got close to Lei Buji's sides, and whispered one after another: "I
Now my name is Niu Nuowei." "My name is Niu Siji, don't get me wrong."
Lei Buji was stunned for a few seconds and nodded. Only then did Huang Donglai let go of his hand.
"You two... why did you change your names? Aren't your original names easy to remember? What's this all about now?" Lei Buji wasn't completely ignorant of the situation, so he lowered his voice slightly before asking.
road.
"Sigh - it's a long story." Niu Nuowei (for convenience, I will directly refer to them by their new names from the beginning of the article) said, "In short, we have now 'corrected our evil ways'.
So just think of us as ‘restarting our lives’.”
"Oh... OK." Lei Buji didn't worry about this. He is a person who trusts others easily. "Since you are following brothers Sun and Huang, you are not bad people after all."
The matter was revealed in this way, and Sun Yixie then asked Lei Buji: "Buji, let's not talk about them anymore, how are you doing recently? It's been more than two years since you joined the Ba Fist Sect, right?
How are you doing in the gang?"
He didn't want to ask this question, but when he asked it, Lei Buji's expression gave him the answer directly.
Obviously, he was not very happy during his time in Ba Fist Sect.
This... is also foreseeable. In other words, when his father Lei Buwei sent him to the Ba Fist Sect, his original intention was to make him feel this "unhappiness".
You can put yourself in someone else's shoes and think about it. If you were the head of the Ba Fist Sect, and one day the legendary top master Bahuang Quan Sheng came to visit and said he wanted his son to join your sect, how would you react?
The first question you have to consider is not even the matter of "should you accept him or not?", but to question what other purposes Lei Buwei has.
Because this thing doesn’t make sense in many aspects... You are a great martial arts master, but you don’t know how to teach your own son? Are you going to send him to me to be a disciple? The key point is that I see that you have already taught him martial arts. Now,
What do you want to do by asking him to become a disciple again? I really want to teach him everything I can. From now on, will he be regarded as your apprentice or mine? Is he the successor of your boxing saint or my boxing champion? Or...
…Did you find something wrong with him, so you couldn’t teach him, or didn’t want to teach him, so you brought him to me?
??????55.??????
What if you used this as an excuse from the beginning, and once I refused to accept him, you said that I had refuted your face and then started to find trouble, what should I do?
Even if you really want him to come to me and become an ordinary disciple, and I really accept him, what should I do with him?
Huo Ming must have thought carefully about these issues... If he was a person who didn't think about anything, he wouldn't have been able to make the Baquan Sect grow from scratch to prosperity and rapidly grow into a martial arts world within twenty years.
Among the top ten sects.
Therefore, after careful weighing, although Huo Ming accepted Lei Buji, he did not let the latter become an ordinary "outer disciple" according to the rules.
"In my personal capacity, I, Huo Ming, can teach your son martial arts on behalf of you, Senior Lei. Your son can also be regarded as a 'named disciple' of my Baquan Sect, but he does not have to follow the rules of an ordinary disciple."
Instead of learning skills, you can directly follow me as the master to learn skills. However, it is not easy to calculate his seniority according to my apprentices. After all, most of my apprentices are in their thirties, so I should still calculate them according to their age.
It would be better to talk to the younger generation of disciples."
In this way, Lei Buji is in this Baquan Sect. You can talk about his status. He is roughly equivalent to the "master's disciple", but did the master really teach him any secret skills that are not passed on to others? No...
Let’s talk about seniority. He is from the generation of disciples and grandsons. When he meets those who are disciples and disciples of the master, he has to call him uncle and uncle. It’s obvious that when he meets the master, he calls him master. Anyway, it’s very confusing...
And if you want to talk about treatment, he usually eats, sleeps, and lives with the outer disciples at the bottom, but he doesn't practice with them, and he can't practice with them.
Therefore, the brothers and sisters, including his uncle and uncle... neither dared to offend him nor wanted to have a close relationship with him. In short, they were just polite, making him always feel like a guest.
So with a personality like Lei Buji's, would he be able to survive in this kind of environment?
For him, this day was more uncomfortable than being beaten every day.
However, this is exactly what his father Lei Buwei expected...
Our previous article also said that Lei Buwei did not intend to let Lei Buji enter the world at first, because he also knew that he did not do a good job in education, which led to his son's character being indeed flawed, but later he discovered something
He couldn't stop it, so he changed his mind.
In order to let his son see another side of this world, he sent Buji to the Baquan Sect.
And Huo Ming's response was very different from what Lei Buwei had guessed - it can be said that although Huo Ming did not teach Lei Buji any martial arts, he gave Lei Buji a lesson in matters such as "human nature" and "complexity of the human heart".
Ji took a good experience class that lasted for more than two years.
Some people may find it strange when they see this. With Lei Buji's character, in this situation, he should have been tempted to run away, right? How did he stay until now?
Damn, you thought he didn't run away. He ran away less than a month after arriving, and was captured by Huo Ming himself.
After all, this person was left here by Lei Buwei. If someone came back to look for him another day, he would have run away long ago, so there is no way to explain it.
What's more, with Huo Ming's methods, even if he didn't do anything extreme, he could easily cure Lei Buji.
Lei Buji also had no way to deal with Huo Ming: he was definitely not Huo Ming's opponent after he had dealt with him. Besides, he had no grudge against him. He couldn't possibly fight for his life to escape, right? So Huo Ming wanted to subdue and
It's easy to catch him back; even if you talk about it... let alone mention it. Even if you give Lei Buji ten mouths, a veteran like Huo Ming can still silence him with all kinds of right and wrong reasons.
.
In the end, Lei Buji had no choice but to admit it and endure it...
I have endured this for more than two years, but guess what? This kid is still like that. He just "adapts" and "doesn't change" - you treat me as a guest, then I will treat it as a long-term guest, let
I also don’t know how to be human and sophisticated, and I don’t like it either.
Therefore, Lei Buji was overjoyed to meet Sun and Huang again today. Even Niu Nuowei and Niu Siji were closer to him than his classmates, because even if they were enemies, they could at least be with each other.
Say something true to yourself.
"Hey~ This is the son of Lei Buwei you mentioned to me..." The abbot also came up to him at this time. He stared at Lei Buwei without hesitation and looked up and down, "He is really different.
With your looks, who would believe you if you said you were nineteen?"
"Who are you? Do I know you?" Lei Buji was a little unhappy when he heard this guy praise and criticize him, so he immediately replied bluntly.
"Oh, this is the bodyguard we hired. His name is the abbot." Before the abbot could reply, Sun Yixie immediately explained to Lei Buji, "That's how he talks. He likes to serve food to everyone. Don't
Care, if you don’t believe it, just wait and see, he will speak human language when he meets someone like your boss who is not below him in seniority and not very familiar with him.”
"Hey, hey! Are you looking for a slap in the face?" When the abbot heard this, he poked Sun Yixie's back a few times with his finger, "Don't you think I'm very familiar with you now, and I dare to say anything?
ah?"
"Look, being anxious, being anxious means that I was right." Sun Yixie didn't even look back to the abbot, he was still smiling and chatting with Lei Buji.
Just as a few of them were having fun, suddenly, another voice rang out, joining their conversation in a sinister tone: "So you two are the famous 'Eastern Harmony and Western Poison', what happened to you?"
The two young heroes have also come to Cangzhou, right?"
The person who interrupted was none other than Shao Dejin, who had been watching them for a while, and his son Shao Shanhu was undoubtedly following behind him at this time.
"Oh? May I ask who you are?" Sun and Huang still had to pretend at this time.
"It's easy to say, I am Shao Dejin, the master of Xingyi Gate in Cangzhou." Shao Dejin raised his head and raised his hand symbolically like a senior, and said so.
"It turns out it's Clan Master Shao, whom I've admired for a long time." Huang Donglai smiled and clasped his fists in return, "We are all members of the Four Sects and Three Gangs. Clan Master Shao doesn't need to be so polite as calling us 'Young Heroes', just call us by our names."
"Hmph..." Shao Dejin snorted coldly when he heard this, and then said, "Huang Shaoxia is good at talking, and Shao does have a few rude words to say to you two..."
"Haha..." Sun Yixie had already guessed what the other party was going to say at this moment, but he still smiled and motioned for the other party to continue the performance, "Master Shao, please say whatever you want, we are willing to hear the details."
"Well..." Shao Dejin really dared to take this word. He nodded, groaned, and then said, "Shao has long heard of the reputation of the two young heroes in the world. Originally, I think the two young heroes
There is also a bright future, but who would have thought that you would just enter the 'Hunyuan Star Gate'..." At this point, he paused, and when he spoke again, his tone added a bit of anger, "Forgive Shao for speaking bluntly.
, I also met your leader Zhang Baoguo and the guardian Xudong Laoxian at the Seven Heroes Conference. In my opinion, these two people have unknown origins and behave erratically.
Jianghu Zhengdao, plus your second senior brother Lin Yuancheng, is a traitor to our Xingyi sect. Not only is he arrogant and disrespectful, but he is also ruthless and repays kindness with revenge... Shao is really in this sect for these two young heroes.
