Chapter 175 Tangjia Village
Chapter 175 Tangjia Village
The three members of Gu Dantang no longer had the face to stay in Haotian Sect.
They left by flying boat before dawn the next day.
We didn't even get to eat at the banquet!
During the banquet, Su Li noticed that the people serving dishes and pouring wine were all quite robust.
Although he was dressed as a servant, his spirit and energy were unlike that of an ordinary person.
One of the boys was much younger than Su Li. Seeing that Su Li was eating happily, he specially brought all the meat and vegetables to Su Li.
The boy didn't even dare to look Su Li in the eye, lowering his head and backing away, his ears turning red.
Su Li couldn't help but ask Song Nan'an.
"Elder Song, are all the servants of the Haotian Sect cultivators as well?"
Song Nan'an nodded, then shook his head.
"They are actually members of the Tang family, but they are considered to be dull-witted and are called members of the outer Tang family."
The members of the Outer Tang family are mostly at the Foundation Establishment stage, and they usually serve as menial laborers.
Su Li understood that although they all shared the surname Tang, there were still distinctions of rank and social status.
Ha, Haotian Sect, how interesting. Even their own people are divided into different classes.
While biting into a chicken leg, Su Li suddenly had an idea.
She pulled Song Nan'an, who hadn't finished eating, over.
"Elder, tell me, just how dull-witted are those people from the Outer Tang family?"
Song Nan patiently explained to Su Li.
Those disciples of the Haotian Sect with exceptional talent were born at the Body Refinement stage and possessed immense strength.
The Haotian Hammers in their hands weighed a thousand pounds and were made of special materials.
Those from the Outer Tang Sect were of weak birth and could not lift the Haotian Hammer at all.
Moreover, it seems that they have several blockages in their meridians from birth, so they cannot achieve anything even if they cultivate.
At this point, Song Nan'an couldn't help but shake his head.
They are actually pitiful people too...
The high-ranking members of the Haotian Sect were arguing endlessly about Su Li's matter.
Su Li found himself surprisingly comfortable at Haotian Sect.
With the snarling, toothless Haotian by his side, Su Li could be considered the most domineering and tyrannical person in the Haotian Sect.
If you don't like someone, beat them up!
If there's something you like, just send Haotian Toothless to eat it!
Moreover, Su Li discovered that the outer disciples of the Haotian Sect were actually quite honest and simple.
Whether dealing with those in power or ordinary people, he maintained a completely ordinary attitude.
She couldn't help but feel regretful; how wonderful it would be if this group of people were in charge of the Haotian Sect...
So, Su Li went to Tangjia Village, where the people of the Outer Tang Clan lived, and took their pulses one by one that day.
Anyone who disobeys will be dealt with by Haotian Wuyuan!
A simple-minded man scratched his head and awkwardly extended his hand.
Su Li squinted, feeling his pulse little by little.
Seven locations were then recorded on a human circulatory diagram.
It was precisely where the man's pulse was blocked!
Su Li then took the pulses of seven or eight more people and was surprised to find that the blocked areas in their meridians were exactly the same.
Just as Su Li was concentrating on taking the pulse, a loud crash came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, a man carrying a hoe threw down the hoe and rushed in.
"Vice, Vice Sect Master?? Is it really you??"
Su Li was so shocked by the person in front of him that he couldn't speak.
"Lu San?? You're not...you're dead, are you???"
Several more people ran in from outside, and upon seeing Su Li, they all knelt down in excitement.
Su Li's eyes widened in disbelief...
Weren't Lu San and his group captured and killed by the Haotian Sect?
Seeing Su Li's puzzled look, Lu San stood up and explained.
"Hehe, Vice Sect Master, we're sorry to have troubled you!"
We were people who should have died, but we were saved by Mr. Tang Qinghe, the village chief of Tangjia Village.
It turns out that what Su Li knew back then was not the whole truth.
Lu San and the others were tortured half to death, but they didn't lose any hands or feet.
They were simply hung up at the gate as a warning, left to fend for themselves.
Elder Tang Qinghe of Tangjia Village used some underhanded methods to cause them to die prematurely.
Bringing them back to Tangjia Village was merely a matter of bringing them back to life.
The people of Haotian Sect have always regarded the people of the Outer Tang Sect as a disgrace and have never set foot in Tang Family Village.
Lu San and his companions had taken the lives of some of the outer disciples of the Haotian Sect, and their cultivation was destroyed.
Now, they are living the lives of ordinary people in Tangjia Village.
Su Li recalled how he had killed the two members of the Haotian Sect using his Dream Killing Technique...
However, it wasn't a wrongful killing; they've caused quite a bit of harm over the years!
When Tang Qinghe heard Su Li say that he wanted to help the village treat the injuries to their meridians, he was first taken aback, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Miss Su, please don't trouble yourself. If it were curable, it would have been done long ago... Why would they have to be reduced to lowly servants?"
Su Li shook his head.
"No, your meridian problems absolutely must be treated! I believe the Haotian Sect should be led by your lineage!"
Tang Qinghe was taken aback; Su Li knew quite a lot.
That's right! Only Tang Qinghe's lineage has truly damaged meridians!
At night, gazing at the starry sky, Su Li hugged his knees, drank rice wine, and listened to Tang Qinghe talk about their lineage!
"That was three hundred years ago, when our lineage was the most amazing and unparalleled lineage of the Haotian Sect!"
But starting with my ancestor Tang Jian, it's as if we've been cursed...
Other members of the Tang family can establish their foundation at the age of three and form their core at the age of seven!
But my ancestor Tang Jian only reached the Great Perfection of Body Tempering at the age of twelve.
Su Li couldn't help but sigh. In fact, reaching the Great Perfection of Body Tempering at the age of twelve is already extremely rare for ordinary people.
Tang Qinghe continued.
"In the years that followed, my ancestors' parents had several more children, and they all had the same result..."
Later, after my ancestors' parents passed away, our lineage lost its protectors and was ostracized by the entire sect.
Su Li nodded.
The path of cultivation is inherently a dog-eat-dog world, even if they all share the surname Tang...
Tang Qinghe continued.
"Until two hundred years ago, my ancestor Tang Jian was only at the Foundation Establishment stage before he passed away..."
At this point, Tang Qinghe couldn't help but tremble.
"A hundred years... Hahaha, it takes a hundred years to reach the Foundation Establishment stage..."
Su Li could imagine how much humiliation their lineage had endured and how much resentment they harbored.
Afterwards, Tang Jian's descendants voluntarily left the clan and established Tangjia Village in the vicinity.
Then, as if it were an implicit agreement, all those with extremely poor aptitude were sent to Tangjia Village.
This place gradually developed into a village of seven or eight hundred people.
Su Li couldn't help but ask.
"Besides being unable to cultivate normally, do you have any other symptoms?"
Tang Qinghe nodded.
“Our lineage is extremely afraid of the cold... Even in the sweltering summer, we often wake up from the cold at night.”
Su Li frowned and pondered for a moment.
Feeling cold... doesn't seem like poisoning at all...
After bidding farewell to Tang Qinghe, Su Li communicated with the ancient book of the primordial world in his sea of consciousness.
"Hey, don't you think my pill formulas didn't come from nowhere?"
He pondered for a long time after reading the ancient book.
"Perhaps everything is predestined... Su Li, I think I've forgotten something."
However, I don't remember what I forgot....
