273. Su's Ancestral Land
The discussion in this clan broke up unhappily. Su Butong finally understood that the Langya Su clan was not monolithic.
He and Gao Shun were arranged to the home of the old man who spoke up for him. He handed over a cigarette and asked with a smile: "I am a junior, so I don't know what to call you..."
The old man showed his big yellow teeth, lit up his cigarette with a smile, and said with a smile: "We are of the same generation, so you can just call me brother. The words given by our ancestors to our generation are "Chang Tai, Quan Zhe Chong, Hong Xian Xiang"
Lin Yang, Yinghui Hengyuli, Yuanxinming Yuliang, Daodexuan Yanxi, Bingzhaoxi Jingguang...'We are of this generation of philosophers. My name is Su Zheyuan. Uncle Su established his own tomb before he sailed to the East.
, I left the word "you" on it, clearly stating: 'If I, Su Jianglong, have a successor, I should call her by this name' Su Zhechen."
Gao Shun and Sun Shenji: "..." They both knew that Su Butong had a higher seniority among Hongmen, but they didn't expect that his seniority would be even higher when he came back. Even an old man in his seventies was his "old brother."
"
Su Budong complained in his heart: "Su Zhechen? Let me return Su Zhemei's long Su." But complaining was a complaint, so he was not polite and asked: "Brother Zheyuan, let me ask you, can I still enter this ancestral land?"
Are you going? After all, human life is at stake and we cannot afford to delay."
Su Zheyuan didn't take it seriously: "I think it doesn't matter if you went secretly, who dares to fart? It's just and legitimate for you to go, discuss it with them, just discuss it!"
"Our Langya Su clan has an ancestral rule, that is, only those who have passed the test of the ancestral land can become the clan leader, but the descendants of the future generations are unworthy. Now the acting clan leader is Su Zhefang. After ten years in a row, he is the first in the clan.
I haven't even passed the test. Isn't this a joke?" Su Zheyuan did not mince words in front of outsiders.
Su Butong was shocked when he heard this, "I haven't been able to break through for ten consecutive years? Then wouldn't it be even more impossible for me?"
"At this time and that time, you are a descendant of Su Jianglong. You are blessed with good fortune and high hopes from the Su family. Otherwise, Mr. Su would not have sent you here for such a big matter. If you really want to talk about it, it is only because Su Zhefang is incompetent and can't handle it.
If you have learned some of the ancestral skills, you can only look back and sigh in the ancestral land."
"Does our Su family still have any skills?"
"Of course there is. I heard from my ancestors that it is called the 'Three Returning Home Moves', which are divided into three moves: 'Jian Ji Tian Xia', 'Sword Kong Ancient and Modern', and 'Sword Original Intention'. They are Su Jun, the ancestor of the Langya Su family's resurgence.
Created by Su Zigao, but practicing these three movements requires the coordination of corresponding mental methods, and the mental methods can only be found in the ancestral land. After Su Jianglong, my Su clan leader passed down the line for two more generations, all of whom were killed by the Japanese invaders.
In his hands, Su Zhefang could only get the shape but not the method."
"The problem is that I have never practiced the three Homecoming Moves, and I have never even mastered the form of these moves." Su Butong said with a bitter smile.
"I can't help you with this. I am a farmer, and I have listened to things that have been passed down orally from generation to generation, so I am telling you these things. Nowadays, the Su family no longer has the enthusiasm to practice martial arts. In recent years, many people have said that they will abolish it.
Lose some of the ancestral rules, such as the rule that you must pass the three levels of the ancestral land before you can be appointed as the clan leader. Those people have forgotten their roots."
The old man asked his daughter-in-law to kill a chicken and cook a meal to entertain the guests from the capital.
Gao Shun drank some wine and yelled that he was not a good person. Everyone just thought he was drunk and pushed him to sleep.
After several people had eaten and drank enough, they went to their rooms to rest.
Only Su Budong couldn't sleep. He asked where Su Jianglong's tomb was and asked for some yellow paper and sandalwood to pay homage.
Su Zheyuan asked his son to send Su Budong there, and after walking two miles on the mountain road, at a place with excellent scenery, he saw a solitary piece of land standing on a small hill that had been eroded by time.
It was written in official script: "Su Jianglong's Tomb." For some reason, Su Butong saw a sense of loneliness in the font of the tombstone. He thought that Su Jianglong had already avenged his death before he traveled to Japan.
He asked Su Zheyuan's son to wait aside. Su Zheyuan's son was already over fifty years old. Seeing that his uncle, a member of the small clan, was the descendant of Su Jianglong who had been rumored for generations, he felt even more worried.
Afraid. He held a flashlight to help illuminate it, and Su Butong lit yellow paper and incense to pay homage to this "grandpa" who was famous after time travel.
Watching the yellow paper burn away little by little, Su Butong whispered: "We are destined to be together in this life, so I know your legend. Thanks to your kindness, many people look up to me. Don't worry.
Since my body has the blood of your real grandson, I will not embarrass you."
Just as he was talking, a puff of green smoke came out of the yellow paper and floated to the tombstone, as if it was sucked in by something. Subudong had never seen anything like this before, and he was shocked, thinking that it was really a ghost. He
Looking closely, I found that the place where Su Zhechen's name was engraved on the tombstone was exactly where the smoke was sucked in.
Su Butong's heart moved slightly, knowing that there was something strange about this tombstone.
So he sent Su Zheyuan's son to stay away, and he used his hands to break open the piece with the name.
"Is it a hidden compartment?" Su Butong used his hand hard and found a pulley hidden compartment where the name was. He opened the hidden compartment and found a square box about ten centimeters in size inside.
Su Butong quietly stuffed the wooden box into his arms, and then returned to his residence with Su Zheyuan's son.
Su Zheyuan arranged a separate room for the four of them, and the four of them lived together.
When the whole family fell asleep, he woke up Chen Xuance and Sun Shenji. Gao Shun was sleeping soundly and snoring non-stop. So taking advantage of this snoring, the three of them quietly discussed matters. They took out the wooden box and opened it.
, a roll of rice paper three feet long and seven inches wide was revealed.
The three people illuminated it with flashlights and slowly opened the paper. From left to right, and from top to bottom, it was written: "I will go to Japan now, and my fortune and misfortune are uncertain. I am afraid that the descendants of the Su family will be unworthy. I will leave you a letter here. If there is a chance, I will leave you a letter."
If someone gets this letter and gives it to the descendants of the Su family, he will be rewarded with great rewards." The rest of the space was blank.
Su Butong thought to himself: "I got this letter from Su Jianglong decades later. Is this considered God's will?"
The letter went on to say: "If you are a descendant of my Su family, please drop three drops of blood on the lower right corner."
Sun Shenji took out a small knife he carried with him and handed it to Su Butong. "Come on."
Su Butong said angrily: "You just want to watch the fun and don't think it's a big deal."
Sun Shenji said: "This letter is quite interesting. Please hurry up and drop some blood on it."
Su Butong pricked the pulp of his finger with a knife and squeezed three drops of blood onto the letter.
After a while, the bloody spots gradually spread on the back of the letter, and a map actually appeared.
The painting on the letter clearly shows the appearance of the mountain range where the Langya Su family is located, and a cave in the middle is presumably the ancestral home of the Su family.
"Whenever the Emei moon rises, you can enter the ancestral land." There was a small note on the map.
"Su Zheyuan said that the acting patriarch has failed to enter the ancestral land several times. I guess he didn't know that he could only enter during the Emei moon. I wonder what is so mysterious about the Emei moon?" Su Butong looked at Sun with questioning eyes.
, Chen Erren.
These two people obviously wanted to go with him. Chen Xuance said: "Su Zheyuan said that several clan leaders died fighting against the Japanese. I am afraid that he did not leave a word, so future generations are confused about the mystery."
Sun Shenji said: "Emei Moon only appears on the night of the second to seventh day of the Lunar New Year. This evening is the second day of the Lunar New Year."
"Without further delay, I'd better go to the ancestral land." For fear of changes, Su Butong thought it would be better to go there in person.
"Gao Shun drank too much tonight, so I'm afraid I can't go with you." Sun Shenji had an attitude of hating iron. Did you say you came here just for a meal and a drink?
"It doesn't matter, it's a little inconvenient to enter this Su family's ancestral land with a foreign surname." Su Suzheyuan said, and Bu Dong carefully asked about the location marked on the map, and took some self-defense items and a crisper box for Shennong grass.
