Under One Person: Lifting the Ball to Soar

Even with the two old men's unrivaled character and cultivation, they almost burst into tears.

I remember Zhang Huaiyi crying to his master that Longhu Mountain was his home and everyone was his family...

Tian Jinzhong murmured: "Huaiyi, let's go home..."

……

"Did you know that when Mr. Lu Xun was young, he wanted to be an assassin and kill high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty?"

Inside the Tang Tomb, Xu Xin is no longer the decadent and withered image he once was.

How could this old fellow's situation be called a salted fish turning over a new leaf? It was simply a salted fish that flew 108,000 miles to the sacred mountain, obtained the true scriptures, and achieved the right result.

Directly upgraded from the stinky grandson of Tang Clan to the ancestor of Tang Clan!

Now he is well taken care of, wears comfortable and clean clothes, has his hair and beard carefully groomed, and his body is spotless.

Especially his mental outlook, he no longer looked depressed and gloomy, and although his eyes were old and cloudy, there was a gleam of light in them.

The two young men in their early twenties were responsible for taking care of him, one from the inner sect named Tang Jian, and the other from the outer sect named Guo Yan.

In principle, the two brothers came to take care of Xu Xin's "ancestor" because they were careful, but this statement is actually not so accurate in essence...

Although the overall business environment is too good and there are no orders, the ancestral skills have not been broken. Even though the business level may be much worse than before, the Tang Clan is still a den of killers.

An assassin has to be meticulous. A large part of whether an assassin is strong or weak depends on who is more meticulous.

Both of them got the job through competition, and relied on their superior skills in dealing with people to defeat all their opponents and win the "good job" of serving Xu Xin.

Although the Eight Wonderful Skills are enviable, they are out of reach. The Thirty-Six Thieves are the real top-notch ones today!

As a living legend, Xu Xin is the spiritual idol of all Tang Sect disciples, not to mention that he also masters Dan Shi, which is comparable to the Eight Great Skills.

Tang Jian and Guo Yan are Xu Xin's loyal fans.

Xu Xin continued to say to the two young men:

"When he was young, Lu Xun had already decided to go on an assassination mission, but before he left, he suddenly found the person who had assigned him the mission and said:

"If I am caught and beheaded, and only my mother is left, who will support her?"

If it were you two, would you think about this question when you were about to carry out the mission assigned by the sect?"

Tang and Guo looked at each other.

Guo Yan: "Since you have entered the Tang Sect, you have already had the corresponding awareness."

Tang Jian: "The sect will take good care of our relatives."

Xu Xin laughed and said to the two young men:

“In the past, the world was bad and life was worthless, so the Tang Sect’s talents have been passed down to this day in the form of a killer organization.

But human life is much more valuable nowadays, and if you continue to fight and kill, you are courting your own destruction...

Back to the topic, Mr. Lu Xun decided to give up becoming an assassin before leaving because he was "afraid of death". How could a person who had concerns in his heart commit assassination?

The old Tang Clan was never afraid of death, but they always regarded death as a personal matter and rarely considered the feelings of their relatives and friends.

When one’s parents are still alive, one does not travel far away. It is a very selfish and wrong thing for a person to “not be afraid of death”!

The children of this era cannot do this anyway, and they shouldn't do it, because your lives are much more precious than ours.

But the Tang Sect can still practice the way of the assassin, not to be a killer, but the way of a true assassin.

When you feel that the value of killing a target is greater than your life and the grief of your loved ones combined, you can do it without hesitation. "

Guo Yan scratched his head:

"I'm afraid it's unlikely that you'll encounter a goal like that in your lifetime, right?"

Xu Xin stroked his beard and smiled:

"If you don't meet him, that would be great!"

Tang Jian frowned:

"Doesn't that mean I can never be an assassin in my lifetime?"

Xu Xin sat solemnly, but he smiled even more happily, and told the two disciples solemnly:

"No, as long as you have the will to sacrifice yourself for the good, even if you never kill anyone in your life, you are still a true assassin!"

Chapter 76 Bon voyage, stay safe

Although Xu Xin is no longer the emaciated Xu Xin of the past, Tang Zhong is still the same bald Tang Zhong.

It’s just that this old brother has a pile of Lu Xun’s works from various eras, versions, and publishers piled up next to him.

Not all the books sent to him were simply a set of "Complete Works of Lu Xun", a large volume of more than ten or twenty volumes.

1988 was the Year of the Dragon. After August 8, the inherent structure of the alien world changed silently.

The set of moral codes and ethics that had been unbreakable since ancient times began to show an unbridgeable rift.

The young aliens' self-awareness is gradually awakening, and they are increasingly dissatisfied with the older generation's conservatism and self-satisfaction.

Some radicals even began to criticize the patriarchal clan rules and regulations as a feudal system full of dross.

In this ideological confrontation, modern thought is the most powerful weapon, and many eccentrics have begun to take a keen interest in the thoughts that emerged during the Republic of China period.

Among the people who sent books to Xu Xin, there were many who were interested in this field. Some of them even had in-depth research on Lu Xun. They would pick out key works and attach a list of books with recommended reading order.

Some people simply sent Xu Xin the books they had collected and preserved, with the original owners’ annotations inside…

On that day, "As Everyone Knows, There Are 9 Eight Wonderful Skills" came out, and bigwigs like Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang, who are always paying attention to the situation in the alien world, knew about it immediately.

That was also to understand the whole story before the matter got to the root of the problem.

The three brothers of Tang Clan were paralyzed at that time!

However, before facing the various problems and challenges that are about to come, there is one serious matter that needs to be addressed as a priority.

I just want to show this post to Xu Xin...

This was originally a very difficult decision, but the sect leader Tang Miaoxing felt that it was an opportunity bestowed by God... no, Master Meng!

He always wanted to pass the throne to Xu Xin, but Xu Xin could not let go of his past mistakes.

This time, Tang Miaoxing ignored Zhang Wang's hesitating and blushing face, and immediately ran to Tang Zhong and excitedly showed the post to Xu Xin:

Junior brother, it’s not you who is wrong, it’s the world!

……

Xu Xin was stunned for a while after reading the post.

He seemed to have returned to the time when he was dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, full of vigor and vigor, and the 19-year-old boy and like-minded brothers and sisters were drinking together in that valley and getting drunk.

At that moment, it seemed as if the more than seventy years trapped in Tang Tomb, the countless humiliations and regrets, were all just a dream.

Only now have I truly fallen into this absurd world.

Brother Qi, I'm sorry, I am a fickle person. I really have completely denied the brotherhood among everyone.

I have been living a miserable life because I regretted that sworn brotherhood, but now I regret it again, regretting that I didn't go with you back then.

Walking alone on the road to the underworld, it would be lonely...

Seventh brother, are you still willing to call me thirty-third brother?

……

Tang Miaoxing had made all preparations to face Xu Xin. He would agree to any compensation, even if he had to be killed or cut into pieces!

However, Xu Xin neither cried nor made a fuss. He just stared blankly for a while, then asked calmly and curiously:

"Brother, who is Lu Xun?"

Tang Miaoxing was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Xin's first question to be this. Before he could think of the words, Xu Xin continued:

"Is Lu Xun an author? Can you find some of his books for me to read?"

Tang Miaoxing asked with concern:

"Junior brother, are you okay..."

Xu Xin smiled happily, feeling relieved:

"What can I do? Now that I have come to my senses, looking back, everything in the past is like a bubble. Now, I have never been so good again!"

Xu Xin recalled the moment when he drank the wine quickly that year, and the remaining warmth in his chest rekindled...

Tang Miaoxing saw that Xu Xin was speaking from the heart, and was sincerely happy for his relief. After instructing the inner disciples in the tomb to take good care of Xu Xin, he said to this fellow disciple who had suffered such a hard time:

"Wait a minute, Junior Brother. I'll go find Mr. Lu Xun's book for you!"

However, Tang Miaoxing didn't need to worry about it. As soon as he returned to the old Tang Sect campus, he received a copy of Lu Xun's works sent by a stranger outside...

……

These days Xu Xin has been reading Lu Xun day and night. Book friends who send him Lu Xun's works often also include a letter to Xu Xin.

The vast majority of the letters were well-intentioned, expressing admiration and encouragement for Xu Xin, and some also discussed ideology with him.

Whether it was a book or a letter, Xu Xin found it very difficult to read. He only half understood and had no idea what many words meant.

Xu Xin originally wanted to write back to some insightful book friends and become pen pals, but his cultural level was really worrying.

For now I have no choice but to give up and decide to study and read more for the future.

In fact, Xu Xin was a typical illiterate except for knowing how to read. Before the age of nineteen, he devoted all his energy to honing the Tang Sect's skills. After the age of nineteen, he entered the Tang Tomb and was completely disconnected from the outside world.

At this moment, Xu Xin was sitting cross-legged on a stone platform in the cave, his back straight, holding a collection of Lu Xun's works and reading them attentively.

“No wonder, no wonder, although we lived in the same era, I had never heard of such a great sage as Mr. Lu Xun.

How could the teachers in the circle allow the younger generation to read the teacher’s articles...”

This guy has completely become a loyal fan of Lu Xun.

Under the influence of Lu Xun's sharp thoughts, in just a few days, he transformed from an old killer who believed that the Tang Clan rules were supreme into a staunch anti-feudal fighter as smoothly as silk!

Tang Jian and Guo Yan helped to organize the large number of books around Xu Xin.

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Tang Jian said with a playful smile:
