Under One Person: Lifting the Ball to Soar

Now that so many years have passed, most of the remnants of the Jiashen Incident have died of old age or retired, and the top leaders of various sects and factions have basically nothing to do with that chaos.

The younger generations are unhappy about dealing with those stupid and bad elders who messed up everything, and the big guys in power are even more heartbroken!

Sects like the Zhuge family that completely missed out on the eight great skills are still okay, but sects like Shangqing and Tiangongtang that should have obtained the great skills but lost them because they could not uphold morality and protect their disciples are in even worse trouble.

I wish I could just scrape away the old buildings that are still there to relieve my hatred!

Regardless of whether this idea is extreme or not, let's talk about how much truth it makes. It is human nature to vent one's anger on others, not to mention that there is just this opportunity.

Faced with such dire consequences and huge failures of the Jiashen Rebellion, people on the shore certainly have reason to demand that the eyewitnesses who struggled in the mud back then stand up and take responsibility!

Many sects even staged full-scale fights, for example, half of the hot-tempered members of the Huode Sect were sent to the hospital.

The Seeking Truth Society, which was jointly established by the sects that were almost wiped out by the Jiashen Rebellion and the Big Ears, held a swearing-in ceremony to recall the past and say they would not be human beings until they got the secret of ascending to heaven!

Of course, not all sects are in a bad situation.

For example, in the Tianshi Mansion, facing the unwilling disciples, the old Tianshi put Tian Jinzhong in front of him and started to fight:

You see, Old Tian’s hands and feet have been cut off. This Taoist priest and I have tried our best. But Neil Big Ears is a disobedient person and refuses to return to the Taoist temple. If you want to blame someone, blame Big Ears!

Faced with the uprising that threatened to split Wudang, Wudang Zhou Meng had no choice but to follow suit and expose himself:

My brother Zhou Sheng once returned to Wudang and brought back Fenghou Qimen. That most despicable magic skill is in Wudang. It even cheated my three senior brothers and junior brothers. You little guys should stop thinking about that thing!

The little monkey used to blame the big monkey for handing over the harmful Fenghou Qimen to Wudang, but now he is sincerely grateful.

However, the most special one is the Tang Sect. One reason is that this sect still maintains the secretive and strict style of a killer organization.

The disciples are highly obedient to orders, unlike the young people of other schools who let themselves go in the open new era.

The second reason is that Xu Xin, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, is still there. Even for the sake of this old man who has been locked up in a small dark room for nearly seventy years, the rebellious disciples have to follow his lead.

What's more, the Tang Sect still has the myth of being undefeated, and Xu Xin has also mastered the world's number one poison, Dan Shi!

The three Tang Clan bosses made their statements before their followers started making a fuss.

Tang Miaoxing, Zhang Wang, and Tang Qiushan, who also contributed, each wrote a self-criticism of several thousand words, spontaneously reflecting on their mistakes and sincerely apologizing in front of all the disciples.

At the same time, Tang Miaoxing also resigned and decided to hand over the position of the head of the Tang Clan to Xu Xin.

The old principal and his men had all issued confessions of remorse, and the Tang Sect had indeed done its best to protect its members during the turmoil. However, they had some complaints about the treatment of Dong Chang and Xu Xin, feeling that it had brought shame to the Tang Sect.

But now Xu Xin has been released and cleared of his name, and he will be compensated with the position of sect leader. Everyone in the Tang Sect is quite satisfied with this result.

……

A killer organization must have the style of a killer organization. The Tang Clan disciples love to act at night, and the night is more suitable for the Tang Clan's temperament.

The ceremony for the succession of the head of the gate is scheduled for midnight when the moon is high in the sky.

The inner disciples who practiced Dan Shi and Tang Jian and Guo Yan who took care of Xu Xin all left Tang Zhong early.

The three Tang Clan bosses personally went to Tang Tomb to welcome Xu Xin and accompanied him to attend the ceremony of taking over as the clan leader.

On the way out of Tangzhong, Tang Miaoxing said:

"The old people from the branch school are here too. You'll see a lot of old faces soon. Those bastards are so lucky.

The young people in the branch campus who were capable of making trouble did not cause any trouble, so they escaped a disaster!"

Xu Xin thought for a moment and asked:

"The purpose of setting up a branch campus is mainly to recruit students for the Tang Sect, right?"

Although he has not officially taken over yet, he has already begun to think about issues in the capacity of the headmaster.

Tang Qiushan sighed with a headache:

"That's right, the Tang Sect has also encountered some big problems in terms of inheritance, and the main means of the sect is assassination.

When it comes to assassination, who can compare with modern technology? A sniper rifle can shoot someone in the head from thousands of meters away. Those painstakingly made mechanisms may not be as good as fragmentation grenades.

If we encounter a high-yield time bomb, even celebrities like us may be finished.

To put it bluntly, the Tang Clan's hard-earned martial arts skills were completely defeated by a variety of munitions in terms of efficiency and concealment in killing.

This generation of disciples are basically descendants of previous disciples, and few outsiders are willing to send their children to the Tang Sect.

The world is peaceful now, and there is not so much fighting and killing. It would be better to spend the same amount of time and energy learning the proper methods of famous sects."

Xu Xin nodded to show that he understood, and suggested:

“Since recruiting is not effective, we should cancel the branch school and focus all our energy on the main branch, while cutting off all the branches.

If we want to attract talents and gain recognition and admiration from the extraordinary circle, we must rely on ideas. In this regard, we are inherently weak, and the Tang Sect needs new ideas.

The old Tang Sect that didn't take human life seriously won't work!"

Zhang Wang doubted unhappily:

"Will Tangmen use the new concept you came up with in the future? Why do I feel it is so unreliable?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"If you have a better way, I'll give this door to you. If you don't have any, don't complain. What else can I do?

There was no road in the world originally, but when more people walked on it, it became a road. I firmly believe that the new concept can be perfectly combined with Tangmen!"

Tang Miaoxing deliberately put on a serious face and pretended to be angry:

"Zhang Wang! Listen to the gatekeeper! You are so ignorant and brainless, as Master Meng has certified, and you still dare to criticize the gatekeeper?"

Then he turned to Xu Xin and complimented him:

"Master, your new concept is really brilliant! Even an old man like me feels excited after hearing it. You will definitely lead the Tang Sect into a new era!"

Xu Xin said with a disgusted look:

"Brother Miao Xing, could you please stop talking to me so attentively? It's so awkward!"

Tang Miaoxing said with a smile:

"That's nothing. If the head of the sect could change his name to Tang Xin, I would serve you like a grandfather!"

Tang Miaoxing's three fellow apprentices all shook their heads. The biggest problem with this former sect leader was that he was too obsessed with the inner sect and always hoped that the inner sect could suppress the outer sect.

This was also partly the reason why he sent the inner sect elites to Tangzhong to practice alchemy.

Chapter 80 Why are you looking at me twice?

Outside the Tang Tomb, all the Tang Sect disciples were present, waiting for the historic moment that marked the thousandth anniversary of the Tang Sect's establishment.

"I don't know where the Tang Sect will go in the future. From what the old principal and Master Wang said... in this era, we can no longer do the business of killing people for money like before.

What should I do next? I developed this skill because I longed for the fragrance of blood.

And I just recently realized that an assassin and a killer are two completely different things. The moral standards of an assassin are too high. I have a brutal temperament and am a natural killer, but I cannot be an assassin.

Although I don’t care about the identity of a killer or assassin, compared to an assassin, a killer seems too low and not cool enough…”

The man who was mumbling was in his twenties, tall and slender, with unforgettable fair skin and long black hair.

His facial features include thin lips and narrow eyes, and his temperament is as sinister as a knife. Just by looking at him, one can tell that he fits the image of a perverted killer.

Ma Long, an elite outer sect disciple, has talents and personality that are extremely consistent with the qualities of a killer and assassin, and is a rare talent in the Tang Sect.

But in essence, he is a middle school boy who longs to see a river of blood, and he is watching through a screen...

This guy looks sharp and social, but in fact, apart from practicing hard, he is a typical otaku who spends all his spare time watching killer-themed B-movies and playing video games.

He entered the Tang Sect because he was fascinated by the cool and elegant style of killers and assassins who "left after the mission was completed, hiding their bodies and names".

Although he feels good about himself, thinking that he is born with a murderous star and is a born killer, he actually does not have the potential to be a murderer who kills people.

Tao Tao, a colleague next to him, rolled her eyes. Ma Long kept emphasizing that he was an emotionless killer.

But his fellow disciples all knew clearly that this idiot was not a killer but a fool!

"What's the difference between a killer and an assassin? You still believe what was said thousands of years ago, you idiot?"

Tao Tao has a round face, round eyes, and a perfect mind without desires. She is not moved by the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance. She is a girl with a particularly Buddhist nature.

Malone emphasized very seriously:

“You have also seen Master Meng’s post. Wu Gensheng divides people into four categories. The choice of Tao is crucial to Yi Ren.

The definitions of an assassin and a killer are completely different. If you don't distinguish between the two, you will go astray. I don't want to be an unrighteous person!"

My friends around me started discussing this issue. In the past, most of the extraordinary people never cared about whether they had "Tao" in them.

And now, all the extraordinary people who have some aspirations are studying "Where is the Tao", hoping to become the fourth type of people mentioned by Wu Gensheng.

The small group became more and more excited and louder as they talked, attracting the attention of the surrounding Tang Sect disciples.

Tao Tao kicked several of his peers covertly. When they were reminded, they looked up and saw Tang Miaoxing, Tang Qiushan, Zhang Wang, and a short old man walking out of Tang Tomb together.

All the Tang Sect disciples knew that the strange old man leading the group was the infamous Xu Xin, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, but his appearance was beyond everyone's expectations.

The description of Xu Xin in the post was deeply rooted in people's hearts. Everyone knew that this old veteran had been suffocated in the dark Tang Tomb for nearly seventy years, and was tortured by regret and guilt all the time.

In terms of appearance, he should be a sloppy old man who can't stand up straight and is limp, and in terms of mentality, he should be a loser in life with serious mental exhaustion.

However, the old man in front of him looked energetic, vigorous and elegant, and exuded lively vitality from his whole body.

It is like a candle lit in the heart, emitting a peaceful light in the dark night.

A surge of admiration and respect surged in the hearts of the Tang Sect disciples, and they all recalled the story of Wu Gensheng guarding the pass for the unknown hermit Wu Man.

After Wu Man attained enlightenment, even evil people like Bai Xiao and Liang Ting, who had lived a disgraceful life, were attracted by the divine light in the monk's eyes and rekindled their desire to pursue the Tao.

The Tang Sect disciples waiting outside the tomb were all amazed in their hearts: Has our new sect leader achieved enlightenment? !

After a sudden epiphany, Xu Xin, who had returned to the human world, stepped out of the Tang tomb that had trapped him for half his life. He separated two worlds in one step, as if the invisible shackles weighing thousands of pounds on his body suddenly burst apart.

The scarred soul and broken body are nourished by the positive energy of this world, and endless happiness and comfort surge into the heart, as if it can rise up to the sky with the wind, and be free and easy!

Xu Xin closed his eyes and carefully savored the joy and emotion of seeing the light of day again and being reborn.

After a while, Tang Miaoxing felt that the atmosphere couldn't continue to be so awkward, so he stepped forward and whispered to Xu Xin:

"Master, the children are here, please say a few words!"

Xu Xin nodded, looked up at the full moon tonight, stroked his white beard, and said thoughtfully:

"It's a nice moonlight tonight.
