Unparalleled Double Harmony
Chapter 473: Meeting Lei Buji Again
Chapter 473: Meeting Lei Buji Again
Although the negotiations were said to be advanced, in fact they were not much advanced, just four or five days earlier.
Mainly because of the rumor a few days ago that "the Murong family has invited Dong Xie Xi Du and Tian Xia Di Yi Qiang to help", the Ba Quan Sect was a little uneasy. Huo Ming thought about it and proposed... "Why don't we start talking earlier? It won't cost a few days."
Murong Shuzi did not refuse: firstly, he felt that with the current financial resources of the Murong family, he had the advantage and the sooner the discussion was over, the sooner it would be settled; secondly, as an outsider, he had to give some face to the Baquan Sect, the largest local gang... For now, he chose to "follow the host's wishes", so that no matter what the result of the discussion was, both parties would be better off.
To make a long story short, the agreed day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning of that day, people from all walks of life gathered one after another at the city entrance of the Baquan Sect.
I have to mention here that the helm of the Ba Quan Sect was actually the "Huo Family Martial Arts School" back then; Huo Ming's relatives were killed by his enemies when he was 22 years old, and he did not return to the martial arts world until he was 29. At that time, he founded the original Ba Quan Sect in this ancestral home that had been abandoned for several years.
Later, as the Ba Quan Sect's foundation grew larger and larger and its disciples increased in number, this martial arts hall naturally could no longer accommodate them, so Huo Ming bought some land in the surrounding area and expanded the place several times. However, no matter how much you expand, there is a limit, and it is impossible for you to create a "city within a city". Therefore, in the end, the Ba Quan Sect's headquarters was moved to the outskirts of the city and became a "mountain gate", and this martial arts hall became their helm in the city.
Although it is just a rudder, its scale is much larger than many sects like "Bai Zhuan Qian Dao Men", so there is no problem in receiving hundreds of people here.
So who are the people coming today?
Apart from the troops brought by the Baquan Sect and the Murong Family, the rest were undoubtedly "heroes of the martial arts world" who came to join in the fun.
First of all, there were the celebrities in the underworld like Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, as well as the big names who had been famous for a long time like the abbot and the Dugu father and son. When they came, they didn't even need to announce their names. Before they even reached the door, the minions in charge of reception would have already welcomed them in. Naturally, Niu Youjin and Niu Youyin who followed them could also take advantage of this and sneak in.
Secondly, there are some martial arts knights who are not so famous, but everyone has heard of them after introducing themselves, as well as some well-known local leaders, such as... Shao father and son, Lao Gao father and daughter, etc. When these people came to the door, the disciples of the Baquan Sect treated them with courtesy and welcomed them with smiles.
And finally, there are some completely unknown gangsters, or street thugs who try to sneak in to watch the fun; most of these people can't get in, but it's inevitable that some will slip through the net... But it doesn't matter, it's even tacitly agreed by both negotiating parties.
Because there are many things going on in the underworld, and it only when there are good and bad people mixed together can it have the flavor of the underworld.
We often hear people say "I sincerely invite heroes from all walks of life to come here together to bear witness today" during some important events in the martial arts world.
The "various" here does not only refer to coming from different places, but also refers to different sects, different backgrounds, different values, and different "jianghu classes".
In this world, “dragons” are only a minority after all, and the vast majority of people are “fish”, including big fish, small fish, and miscellaneous fish… If you want to do something big now, even if it has nothing to do with people below the level of “small fish”, you cannot completely exclude them. You have to let them “witness”, “know”, “discuss”, and “spread” it…
This is your obligation when doing big things in the martial arts world, and it is also a sharing of responsibility.
This approach of "allowing people from all walks of life to participate and express their opinions from their own perspectives" is, in a sense, testing public opinion and assessing risks... It is a wisdom that has been proven to have more benefits than disadvantages after years of practice.
Of course, if you don’t follow this path and want to rely on yourself to solve problems and accomplish great things quietly, that’s fine too, but in that case you will have to bear all the risks and costs yourself.
Therefore, many underworld bosses or organizations turn a blind eye to the phenomenon of some small shrimps sneaking in at such occasions. Only some people with narrow minds, lack of underworld wisdom, or a very small number of really stupid people will take this kind of problem seriously when they encounter it.
"Hey? Who are you? Where are you from? Who let you in?" Look, right now, the silly boy Lei Buji is strictly following the leader's order of "no outsiders are allowed to enter" in the meeting hall, arresting people for questioning everywhere.
No one cares about him, because everyone knows that he is such a great person...
Who made this kid look so distinctive? His big black face made him look like he was thirty-nine at the age of nineteen. He also spoke in a blunt and aggressive manner, making it difficult for others to impersonate him.
Furthermore, the fact that "the son of the Eight Desolate Fist Saint joined the Tyrant Fist Sect" is no longer a secret in the martial arts world after these years. Even people who have never seen him have heard of it... If you meet such an upright black guy in the Tyrant Fist Sect, it is likely to be him.
"Xiao Za, look at who we are?"
Just when Lei Buji was asking around, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said something quite impolite.
When Lei Buji heard this, he turned around and wanted to scold him, but when he looked over, hey, it was an acquaintance: "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 sentences, he noticed that there were several people following Shuang Xie: "Eh? Aren't you two the Jin and Yin..."
Before Lei Buji could utter the word "zhai", Huang Donglai quickly covered his mouth. Niu Youjin and Niu Youyin also came forward and stood on both sides of Lei Buji, whispering one after another: "My name is Niu Nuowei now." "My name is Niu Siji, don't make a mistake."
Lei Buji was stunned for a few seconds and nodded, and Huang Donglai then let go of his hand.
"Why did you two change your names? Aren't your original names easy to remember? What are you calling them now?" Lei Buji was not completely unaware of the situation, so he lowered his voice a little before asking.
"Well, that's a long story." Niu Nuowei (for the sake of convenience, I will refer to them by their new names from now on) said, "Anyway, we have 'turned over a new leaf' now, so just think of us as 'starting a new life'."
"Oh... OK." Lei Buji was not bothered by this. He was a person who easily trusted others. "Since you are following Brothers Sun and Huang, I guess you are not bad people."
The matter was just over, and Sun Yixie immediately asked Lei Buji, "Buji, let's not talk about them. How have you been recently? It's been more than two years since you joined the Baquan Sect, right? Are you doing well in the gang?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't asked this question, but when he did, Lei Buji's expression gave him the answer directly.
It was obvious that he was not very happy during his time in the Ba Quan Sect.
This... was also foreseeable, or it could be said that his father Lei Buwei sent him to the Baquan Sect with the intention of letting him experience this kind of "unhappiness".
You can put yourself in their shoes and think about it. If you were the leader of the Baquan Sect, and one day the legendary top master, the Bahuang Quan Saint, came to visit you and said that he wanted his son to become your disciple, how would you react?
The first question you should consider is not even whether to accept him or not, but to suspect whether Lei Buwei has any other purpose.
Because this doesn't make sense in many ways... You are a boxing master, and you can't teach your own son? You want to send him to me as a disciple? The key is that I see that you have already taught him martial arts, and now you want him to become your disciple, what are you trying to do? If I really want to teach him everything I know, will he be considered your disciple or mine when he goes out in the future? Is he the heir of your boxing master or my boxing champion? Or... did you find that there is something wrong with him, so you can't teach him anymore, or don't want to teach him anymore, so you sent him to me?
What if you have been using this as an excuse from the beginning, and once I refuse to accept him, you will say that I have offended you and then find fault with you, what should I do?
Even if you really want him to become an ordinary disciple of mine, and I really accept him, how should I deal with him appropriately?
Huo Ming must have thought carefully about these issues... If he was a person who did not consider anything, he would not have been able to build the Baquan Sect from nothing to prosperity in just twenty years, and quickly grow it into one of the top ten sects in the martial arts world.
Therefore, after careful consideration, although Huo Ming accepted Lei Buji, he did not let the latter become an ordinary "outer sect disciple" according to the rules. Instead, he gave him the title of "teaching martial arts on behalf of his father" and said: "I, Huo Ming, can teach your son martial arts in my personal capacity on behalf of you, Senior Lei. Your son can also be regarded as a 'registered disciple' of my Baquan Sect, but he does not need to follow the path of ordinary disciples to learn martial arts. Instead, he can directly learn martial arts from me, the head of the sect. However, his seniority cannot be calculated according to the seniority of my disciples. After all, most of my disciples are in their thirties. It is better for Buji to be considered a younger disciple of the same age as him."
In this way, Lei Buji's status in the Baquan Sect is roughly equivalent to "the master's inner 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 a disciple's grandson. When he sees the disciples of the master, he has to call them uncles or aunts. But when he sees the master, he calls him master. Anyway, it's very confusing...
As for the treatment, he usually eats and lives with the lower-level outer disciples, but he doesn't practice with them, and he can't practice with them.
So his fellow disciples, including his uncles and aunts, all...did not dare to offend him, but also did not want to make close friends with him. In short, they were polite and made him feel like a guest all the time.
With Lei Buji's personality, can he have a good life staying in this environment?
For him, this life was more painful than being beaten every day.
However, this is exactly what his father Lei Buwei expected...
As we said in the previous article, at first Lei Buwei had no intention of letting Lei Buji enter the underworld, because he also knew that he did not do a very good job in education, which led to his son's character defects. But later he found that some things could not be stopped, so he changed his mind.
In order to let his son see the other side of the world, he sent Buji to the Baquan Sect.
Huo Ming's response was almost the same as Lei Buji's guess. It can be said that although Huo Ming did not teach Lei Buji any martial arts, he gave Lei Buji a good experiential class on "the ways of the world" and "the complexity of human hearts" for more than two years.
Some people may find it strange to see this. Given Lei Buji's personality, he should have been unable to resist and wanted to run away in this situation, right? How did he stay here until now?
Oh, you thought he didn't run away? He ran away less than a month after he arrived, and was caught by Huo Ming himself.
After all, this person was left here by Lei Buwei. If he comes back to look for him someday, and you say he ran away long ago, you will have no way to explain yourself.
What's more, with Huo Ming's means, even if he didn't do anything extreme, it would be easy for him to deal with Lei Buji.
Lei Buji also had no way to deal with Huo Ming: in terms of physical combat, he was definitely no match for Huo Ming, and besides, Huo Ming had no grudge against him, so he wouldn't risk his life to escape, right? So it was easy for Huo Ming to subdue and capture him; as for verbal combat... that was even easier to say. Even if you gave Lei Buji ten mouths, Huo Ming, a seasoned man in the underworld, could still silence him with all sorts of arguments.
In the end, Lei Buji could only accept it and endure it...
I have been patient for more than two years, but guess what? This kid is still the same. He just "adapts" and "doesn't change" - you treat me as a guest, so I will treat it as a long-term guest. I don't know how to deal with the ways of the world, and I don't like it.
Therefore, Lei Buji was overjoyed to meet Sun and Huang again today. Even Niu Nuowei and Niu Siji seemed to him to be more friendly than his fellow disciples, because even though these two were enemies, they could at least tell him a few true words.
"Wow~ This is the son of Lei Buwei you all mentioned..." The abbot also came over at this time. He stared at Lei Buji from head to toe without any hesitation. "You are really different. With your appearance, who would believe you are only 19 years old?"
"Who are you? Do I know you?" Lei Buji was a little unhappy when he heard this guy praising and criticizing him as soon as he opened his mouth, and he immediately retorted.
"Oh, this is the bodyguard we hired, his name is Fangzhang." Without waiting for Fangzhang to reply, Sun Yixie immediately explained to Lei Buji, "He speaks like this, he likes to serve people according to circumstances. Don't mind it. If you don't believe me, you can wait and see. When he meets someone like your master who is not inferior to him in seniority but not very familiar with him, he will speak human language."
"Hey, hey! Are you looking for a fight?" Upon hearing this, the abbot poked Sun Yixie's back with his fingers. "Do you think I'm too familiar with you guys now that you can say anything you want?"
"Look, he's anxious, anxious, which means what I said was right." Sun Yixie didn't even turn around to pay attention to the abbot. He was still there, smiling and chatting with Lei Buji.
While they were playing around, suddenly, another voice was heard, joining their conversation in a sarcastic tone: "So you two are the famous 'Eastern Harmony and Western Poison'. What brings you two young heroes to Cangzhou?"
The person who interrupted was not someone else but Shao Dejin who had been watching them for a while, and his son Shao Shanhu was undoubtedly following behind him.
"Oh? May I ask who you are?" Sun and Huang still had to pretend at this time.
"No problem. I'm Shao Dejin, the leader of the Xingyi Sect in Cangzhou." Shao Dejin looked up and raised his hand symbolically like a senior, saying so.
"So it's Master Shao. I've heard a lot about you." Huang Donglai smiled and clasped his fists in return. "We are all members of the Four Sects and Three Gangs. Master Shao, you don't have to be so polite as to call us 'young heroes'. Just call us by our names."
"Hmph..." Upon hearing this, Shao Dejin snorted coldly, and then said, "Young Master Huang is good at speaking, but I do have a few impolite words to say to you two..."
"Hehe..." Sun Yixie had already guessed what the other party was going to say, but he still smiled and motioned for him to continue the performance, "Master Shao, please speak freely. We are willing to hear the details."
"Well..." Shao Dejin really dared to answer this question. He nodded, groaned for a moment, and then spoke again, "I have heard of your reputation in the martial arts world. Originally, I thought you two had a bright future, but who knew you would join the 'Hunyuan Star Gate'..." He paused here, and when he spoke again, his tone was filled with a little anger, "Forgive me for being frank, but I also met your leader Zhang Baoguo and the guardian Xudong Old Immortal at the Seven Heroes Conference... I have met them once. In my opinion, these two people have unknown origins and behave eccentrically. They don't seem to be righteous in the martial arts world. In addition, your second senior brother Lin Yuancheng was a traitor of my Xingyi Sect. Not only is he arrogant and disrespectful to his elders, but he is also cruel and ruthless, and repays kindness with enmity... I am really worried about the future of the two young heroes in this sect."
