Tang Shan felt as if a lifetime had passed when he called him Eldest Senior Brother.
Immediately, he quickly stepped forward and held the shoulders of two of them. He said excitedly,"Chen Zhen, Ah Chang, Ah Sheng, you're all here! Good! Good! Good!"
Among the few of them, Ye Dachang was the most emotional, and he immediately burst into tears. He sobbed." Eldest Senior Brother, I thought I would never see you again in this life. I didn't expect to see you again when I was about to enter the coffin. It's really God's blessing."”
Tang Shan patted his shoulder and said,""Why are you crying? It's a good thing that we brothers can meet again after a hundred years. You should be happy. Moreover, you're a grandmaster now. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the juniors?”
"I, I'm just happy." Ye Dachang quickly held back his tears. Although he was already more than 110 years old, he could not help but be cautious in front of Tang Shan.
Tang Shan, Chen Zhen, Huo Ting 'en, and Liu Zhensheng looked at each other and laughed.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
After laughing, Tang Shan couldn't help but say,""Junior Brothers, to be honest, it is indeed a joy to see you again, but what makes me even happier is that you are still the same as you were more than a hundred years ago. You have never changed your mind. I think that your mentality is the main reason why the Essence Martial Sect has today's situation.”
"It's all thanks to Eldest Senior Brother's teachings back then!”
Then, the brothers surrounded Tang Shan and sat down.
"Eldest Senior Brother, where have you been all these years?" Ye Dachang asked after they sat down. Why haven't we been able to find out anything about you? Moreover, you seem to be…"
Hearing Ye Dachang's words, Chen Zhen, Huo Tingen, and Liu Zhensheng all pricked up their ears. Obviously, these were the questions they wanted to ask.
Seeing the brothers 'expressions, Tang Shan immediately laughed and said,""You don't seem to have aged, right?" After a pause, he continued," Since you're so interested, I'll tell you the truth. But before I tell you, I still have a question to ask you. Back then, I went to Hongkou Dojo alone to fight. Why are you so sure that I'm still alive?”
" There are two reasons for us to believe that you're still alive," Huo Ting 'en said." The first reason is what you said to Chen Zhen and me before you left. You said that we might meet again one day. We all believe that you won't go back on your word.”
In fact, Tang Shan's words were just a flash of inspiration. Even he himself did not know what was going on.
"The second reason is the news released by the Japanese.”
"Oh? What news did the Japanese release?" Hearing this, Tang Shan was also curious.
Huo Tingen continued," At that time, the Japanese not only slandered you for assassinating their military major general, but also said that you disappeared into thin air after you succeeded. They even came to the Jingwu Sect to cause trouble. Fortunately, we had the life and death certificate signed by the British Consul that you left before you left. That was how we managed to save ourselves.”After a pause, he continued," As the saying goes, if you're alive, you have to see the person. If you're dead, you have to see the corpse. Of course, we don't believe the Japanese's words." At that time, we all thought that the Japanese had harmed you, but they hid the truth because of your identity as a British earl. "So, we went to the British embassy to negotiate, hoping that they could put pressure on the Japanese. After some pressure and investigation by the British, they finally confirmed the fact that you were missing. It is for these two reasons that all of us brothers and sisters believe that you are still alive and will return one day.”
"I see!" After listening to Huo Tingen's narration, Tang Shan finally understood what happened after he left.
Then, he thought about how his junior brothers and sisters from the Essence Martial Sect had waited for him for a century. Most of them had gone before he could even get there. He could not help but feel guilty. "Alas!" he sighed. I've really made things difficult for you all these years!”
Liu Zhensheng said," Eldest Senior Brother, what are you talking about? If you hadn't gone to the Martial Arts Sect's aid back then, how could we, these good-for-nothing Junior Brothers and Sisters, be where we are today? So, let alone waiting for a hundred years, we should even wait for two or three hundred years."”
"That's right, Eldest Senior Brother. This is what we should do.”Chen Zhen echoed. In order to divert Tang Shan's self-blame, he continued,""Eldest Senior Brother, you better hurry up and tell us where you've been all these years.”
Hearing this, Tang Shan sorted out his thoughts. Of course, he couldn't reveal the secret that he was a transmigrator. Instead, he made up a more credible reason.
" You might not believe it if I tell you," he said." You might even find it absurd, but all of this is true.”
At this point, he cleared his throat again and turned to look at the door. As if he was reminiscing, he said,"Back then, after I killed the Japanese Major General Fujita, I was surrounded by a team of Japanese military police. I thought I was going to die, so I fought back and wanted to kill a few more Japanese. The moment the Japanese fired, I suddenly felt the world spin. Then, I came to a kaleidoscope-like passage. The scenery in the passage was strange and constantly changing. I also moved forward with the changes in the scenery. When I walked out of the passage, I found that I had become the son of an ordinary family in Western Sichuan. Then, I asked about the time and found out that it had been more than a hundred years. Later, I heard about the Jingwu Sect, so I came to Shanghai with a dispensable attitude.”
After Tang Shan finished his narration, the brothers looked at each other and then looked at each other. This was too unbelievable. They could not believe it at all. However, Tang Shan was standing right in front of them, so they had no choice but to believe him.
Thus, the brothers all fell silent.
"Eldest Senior Brother, did you walk into the legendary Reincarnation Tunnel?”
Hearing this, Chen Zhen immediately retorted,"Nonsense, there is no such thing as supernatural powers in this world. I think Eldest Senior Brother must have walked into a time tunnel. It is because of this that he missed a hundred years.”
" I'm more inclined to Chen Zhen's theory," said Huo Tingen.”
"Yes, I agree with Fifth Senior Brother!"”
Tang Shan said," Alright, everyone, stop guessing. Be it the Reincarnation Tunnel or the Space-Time Tunnel, none of them can compare to the reunion of our brothers."”
"Eldest Senior Brother is right!"
"Not bad!"
"That's right!"
"Yes!"
"But then again," " I came to the Jingwu Sect in this state," Tang Shan said." It's inevitable that I'll bring you some trouble. If someone with ulterior motives finds out the truth, I'm afraid it'll cause even greater waves. So, I…"
Before he could finish, Chen Zhen interrupted him."Eldest Senior Brother, you don't have to say anymore. I know what you mean. This little brother only wants to say that without you, there would be no today's Essence Martial Sect. Therefore, no matter how big the trouble is, the entire Essence Martial Sect will naturally advance and retreat with you!”"Moreover, whoever wants to cause trouble for our Elite Martial Sect has to think carefully first.”
"That's right," said Huo Tingen.”
Ye Dachang and Liu Zhensheng also agreed.
Tang Shan was even more touched to see his brothers so loyal. However, he already had his own plans in mind, so he could only decline their kindness. He said," Of course, I understand the feelings of my brothers. I don't want to leave the Jingwu Sect. I just want to experience my new life a hundred years later in another way.”
Hearing this, the brothers remembered Tang Shan's age.
Indeed, they were already in the twilight of their lives, while Tang Shan was in the prime of his youth. He still had plenty of time to experience life. They had already seen the vicissitudes of a hundred years and enjoyed the ebb and flow of life, but Tang Shan was clearly just beginning. Therefore, they couldn't just tie Tang Shan to the Jingwu Sect's big ship. That would be too selfish.
After thinking this through, the brothers no longer forced Tang Shan. However, they also said that the Jingwu Sect would always respect Tang Shan. Even after they died, this sentence was still valid.
In this regard, Tang Shan was not only moved, but also touched.
