Chapter 1813 The Famous Ancestor!
Xiao Bing stayed at home for another two days. On the morning of the third day, Xiao Bing and Fang Yuanyuan made an appointment to meet at the Kyoto Airport.
Xiao Bing received the boarding pass according to the text message on his mobile phone, and then went through the security check and arrived at the boarding gate. There was still more than half an hour before the check-in time. A family of four from the Fang family was already sitting here. When they saw Xiao Bing coming , several people stood up immediately.
Xiao Bing walked over and said with a smile: "Sit down, everyone, you're welcome."
Fang Yuansheng said excitedly: "Deputy Minister Xiao..."
Xiao Bing coughed and lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I just say it last time? Just call me by my name."
"Oh, yes, I forgot, Xiao Bing, thank you for coming with us."
Xiao Bing hummed and said, "It's nothing, just a small matter. Hello, aunt."
The last words were spoken to Fang’s mother.
Mother Fang smiled and nodded and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Xiaobing."
"You're welcome, Auntie, please sit down first. It will take half an hour to register."
"Okay, let's all sit down first."
After several people sat down here, Xiao Bing took a casual look and found that no matter where Fang Yuansheng sat, he could not hide the aura of a high-ranking official, and at first glance, he was related to the police.
Mother Fang looked very dignified and decent. Fang Yi nodded to Xiao Bing. Her attitude was no longer so cold, but she could not be said to be very enthusiastic. Her temperament was as cold as ever, while Fang Yuanyuan had a happy smile on her face. With.
There was a schoolbag next to Fang Yi, but there was nothing else.
Fang Yi said: "I have a gift for my great-grandpa in this bag."
"Oh." Xiao Bing said, "I didn't bring anything with me."
Fang Yuansheng said with a smile: "It is the biggest gift that you can come here in person. This is simply the brilliance of our Fang family!"
Xiao Bing smiled, and then said with some confusion: "There is still time now. There are some things I don't know whether to ask or not."
Fang Yuansheng said hurriedly: "Is there anything I shouldn't ask? Just ask whatever you want to ask."
"Okay, then I'm not polite. I just feel a little strange. Uncle Fang, what age are you talking about now? How come your family is still so patriarchal? Just because you have two daughters, every day The two sisters were discriminated against when they returned to their hometown? Now they even ask me to be their supporter. How wronged they are..."
Hearing what Xiao Bing said, Fang Yuansheng also felt very embarrassed. After all, the current era has become so enlightened, but the people in his hometown are still so patriarchal. He really felt a little unable to express it.
Xiao Bing could see that Fang Yuansheng felt uncomfortable in his heart, and said very considerately: "Actually, there are some preference for boys over girls in today's society. Although there are not so many anymore, people always have to change their minds little by little. In fact, This is normal. But to the extent that you can force Fang Yuanyuan to let me accompany you directly, it seems that your family is indeed a bit serious. "
The first few sentences were to comfort Fang Yuansheng and give him a step down, while the last few sentences were to express his confusion.
Fang Yuansheng sighed and said: "It is true that boys have always been valued over girls in my family. I have always wanted to change their ideas, but unfortunately I can't do anything. This is not something I can do with my hard work. If I work hard, I can learn from science. You have been promoted to director, from director to higher, but it is really difficult to change others through hard work."
Xiao Bing hummed to express his understanding.
"Especially our Fang family is different from other families, and the situation is even more special. I won't hide it from you. I regard you as one of my own, and you will go back with us soon. I won't say that you will also Will know."
Xiao Bing listened attentively. It seemed that there were some secrets that were not known to outsiders.
"The ancestor of our Fang family is called Fang Xiaoyu."
When he said this, Fang Yuansheng stopped, and then looked at Xiao Bing, which made Xiao Bing confused. He just stopped saying a word. Could it be that this Fang Xiaoyu... Suddenly, Xiao Bing's mind flashed A man came by and asked in surprise: "Could it be that... the Fang Xiaoyu you mentioned is Fang Xiaoyu, one of the Ten Tigers of Shaolin during the Qing Dynasty?"
"That's right." Fang Yuansheng nodded.
Xiao Bing exclaimed: "Amazing, amazing, he is one of the Ten Tigers of Shaolin... I have heard of this person. Fang Xiaoyu is Fang Shiyu's second brother. Among the Ten Tigers of Shaolin, Hong Xiguan ranks first and Fang Shiyu ranks second. Fang De of the Fang family has a total of three sons. Fang Shiyu is the third among the three sons. He also has two brothers. The eldest brother Fang Meiyu ranks ninth among the Ten Tigers of Shaolin, and the second brother Fang Xiaoyu ranks among the Shaolin Ten Tigers. The eighth among the Ten Tigers, because the Shaolin Ten Tigers are ranked based on strength, not age, so their ranking is not as high as Fang Shiyu's, even though they were still famous at the time."
Fang Yuansheng hummed, with a bit of yearning in his eyes, and said: "The Ten Tigers of Shaolin, they sound really powerful. Unfortunately, the Qing soldiers have always disliked Shaolin during the fierce fighting between Jianghu and Jianghu. On the surface, they sent troops to suppress the fighting, but in the end But he deliberately wanted to kill those Shaolin masters. In addition to Hong Xiguan fighting his way out of the siege with a pair of invincible iron palms, he also killed several of the Ten Tigers under the siege of the Qing army and martial arts scum, including Fang Shiyu and his eldest brother Fang Meiyu were killed, and only our ancestors took advantage of the chaos to escape, and then lived in seclusion with their families."
Xiao Bing's blood boiled after hearing this, and finally he sighed repeatedly. Although the Ten Tigers of Shaolin may not really represent the ten strongest people in Shaolin, they can definitely be regarded as the mainstay. It is said that the tenth tiger Lu Acai does not He died in battle, but escaped and lived in seclusion, and finally accepted Huang Feihong's father Huang Qilin as his apprentice.
Even the Tenth Tiger has this ability. It is conceivable that the Shaolin Ten Tigers are indeed well-deserved. Of course, if we look at it now, they have at least reached the realm of breaking the void. As for whether they have reached the level of Tianzun, It's hard to say. As for being a saint, it is absolutely impossible, but at this level, even if you look at it now, you can be regarded as a master of the generation.
Fang Yuansheng continued: "After our ancestor's two brothers died in the battle, he took his whole family and lived in seclusion in an extremely remote village. In order to avoid being chased by the Qing army in the future, he never dared to speak out. Ancestor Fang Fang Xiaoyu Because he was seriously injured in that battle, leaving hidden dangers, so although he escaped, his body became weaker and weaker. Later, before he died, he told his family that all the brothers of the Fang family died at the hands of the imperial court. Therefore, descendants of the Fang family are absolutely not allowed to serve as officials in the imperial court."
Xiao Bing nodded and said: "Although I don't agree with this approach, I still understand."
Fang Yuansheng smiled bitterly and said, "So later on I left the mountain village and entered an official career, and they have always been worried about me."
Xiao Bing said in surprise: "What's the truth? The person who killed your ancestor and your two brothers was the imperial court of that era, not the current people's government!"
"I know. I also explained that it is because of this reason that although there are some discussions in the family, it is not too intense. Otherwise, I am afraid I won't even be qualified to go back to celebrate my great-grandfather's birthday."
"Well, some of them can discuss it if they like. Don't worry about it at all."
"I think so too. I can't control what others say behind their backs when I have my mouth. What's more, I sit upright and understand that it is the current party and government that help us ordinary people take charge of our own affairs. The government was overthrown by the Party, which means the Party indirectly avenged our hatred. I have also told my family these words, so my family has no way to refute me and can only let me go."
Xiao Bing nodded and said with a smile: "You are right, and you can clearly see justice and distinguish right from wrong. I admire you very much."
Fang Yuansheng smiled bitterly and said: "There is nothing to admire. Of course, apart from the historical reasons why they don't like to see me become an official, there is another reason that the Fang family has been practicing martial arts for generations. Back then, our ancestor Shang Fang Xiaoyu was right Later generations said that the Fang family was a martial arts family. Although they had already lived in seclusion, their strength could not be weak and their martial arts practice could not be broken. In the future, the martial arts learned by the Fang family must be passed down from generation to generation, and they must not embarrass their ancestors. !”
Xiao Bing looked at Fang Yuansheng and said with emotion: "When I first saw you, I noticed that your strength was not weak. I was a little emotional at that time. I didn't expect that you were the descendant of a senior martial artist. No wonder you are like this. "
Fang Yuansheng's strength has reached the middle stage of Gangjin. He cannot be said to be the top master in the martial arts world, but he can be regarded as a master who is qualified to be called a master.
Fang Yuansheng smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Bing, what you are saying is rude. What does my meager strength mean in your eyes? These strengths may not be weak in the eyes of ordinary people. But we are descendants of the Fang family. I heard that our ancestor Fang Xiaoyu’s strength has reached the realm of breaking the void. Compared with my ancestor, I am far behind, but our ancestor’s strength can actually be regarded as one of the Ten Tigers of Shaolin. Among them, I heard that Fang Shiyu is the third younger brother of our ancestor. His strength is close to that of the Half-Step Tianzun. He should have broken the Void Dzogchen realm. However, no one can tell the specific facts now. After all, when That happened a hundred years ago.”
Xiao Bing nodded. The level of the Ten Tigers of Shaolin at that time should actually be equivalent to the level of the Eight Generals of Longmen. However, in Xiao Bing's opinion, it should be one level lower than the Eight Generals of Longmen. Any master among the Eight Generals of Longmen would be They can sweep the entire dark world. Although the Ten Tigers of Shaolin were the top ten masters in Shaolin at that time, they were definitely not the real aces in Shaolin, because the real aces may not be known to outsiders, just like Shaolin now. The real master behind the scenes is unknown to the outside world.
Moreover, in addition to Shaolin, there were other sects such as Kunlun at that time, so the Shaolin Ten Tigers had many, many opponents at that time. They were definitely not the strongest, but they were not weak, and at least they were famous.
Xiao Bing then asked: "Your ancestors told you that you must pass on martial arts and not embarrass your ancestors. What's next?"
"Next," Fang Yuansheng said with a wry smile, "Next, I will be able to have a relationship with my two daughters..."
