"Kanyumen" has always maintained the ancient method of contact - writing letters.
Unless it is a very urgent matter, they will notify you through modern contact methods, and all other matters will be sent by letter.
Each household has its own special mailing address, which will not change easily.
And there are also a special set of rules regarding the content expressed in the letter.
If the reply is affixed with one stamp, it means neutrality; if it is affixed with two or more stamps, it means approval; if the stamps are affixed upside down, it means opposition.
During special periods, "Bakui" used this method to convey information, which has gradually spread to this day.
After the six letters jointly signed by Mr. Bai and Mr. Luo were sent out, except for the Li family in Guanzhong, the originals were returned as usual.
The other five gates have all expressed their opinions.
The reply from Guan's grandson's family contained a stamp, indicating that they would not participate in or object to the matter.
This is similar to the result that the two elders originally estimated.
As for the four southern schools, they all responded with stamps backwards.
It seems that the Guo family and the Yang family have all been discussed, not to mention the Feng family.
Even the receipt in the letter is almost exactly the same:
"I heard that the two seniors of 'Kanyu', Baimen and Luomen, have reopened the gates of the mountain to recruit worthy disciples.
I should congratulate you, but the two seniors are very senior. This is a serious matter, so I hope you will discuss it in the long term. "
The meaning is very clear, that is, the seniority of the two of you is too high. If you accept a disciple, you will be a "Kang generation".
These three young men in their twenties can be friends with the heads of several southern sects.
There is nothing wrong with the Zhang family in Tianshi Mansion.
The former head of the Guo family, Guo Kangji, is 72 years old this year. He just passed the mantle of the Guo family to his 51-year-old eldest son Guo Ningheng a few years ago.
Yang Ning'an, the head of the Yang family, is also over fifty.
If after the apprenticeship ceremony is completed, they meet Lin Yi and his three brothers, according to the rules, they have to call them uncle.
There are many disciples under these two sects, and the juniors who just entered the sect this year don't know what to call them when they meet Lin Yi and the others.
Of course they did not agree with Bai and Luo accepting any more apprentices.
In addition to the three of them, the Feng family also raised objections, not surprisingly, and the words were quite polite, asking the two elders to "consider it in the long term." The letter also mentioned that their family had recently received some items that were in good condition.
Please ask Mr. Bai to help you palm your eyes.
There was also a photo included in the letter.
The photo shows a complete picture of a museum shelf. Looking over it, it turns out that the items displayed on the shelf are all good things that open the door at a glance.
In the middle, in a plexiglass box, is a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes.
Surprisingly, it was the pair of embroidered shoes that Lin Yi and the others brought out from the desert.
When they saw this photo, Lin Yi and the others finally understood what Mr. Bai meant when he said: Write a letter of challenge.
The Feng family simply showed it out instead of hiding it. The purpose is to tell Lin Yi and the others that the Feng family has been eyeing you for a long time, and I still have your shorts in my hand.
"The Feng family are really bastards. They come out openly if they have the ability, but they do little things behind the scenes to be shady, damn it!"
Wang Qiang pointed at the photo and cursed.
Qian Sheng advised him from the side.
"Calm down, calm down. Our husband has long said that this family member has always liked to play dirty tricks. He has betrayed his brother once or twice. It's not worth getting angry with such a person. "
While he was talking, Old Man Luo stepped in and sat down on the Taishi chair, looking very angry.
"gentlemen!"
Lin Yi and the others stood up and saluted.
Old Man Luo picked up the tea cup and took a sip before speaking:
"Boy, you said it wrong this time. The Feng family came to you openly this time. Take a look!"
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve.
Judging from the date, the letter sent by the Feng family back to Mr. Bai's home was sent out before and after.
It was specially sent to Mr. Luo's home.
It is the "Gannan Zhang Family" who has not expressed its stance before.
The letter paper is a piece of yellow paper with talismans, and the bottom is covered with the "Nine Folds of Seal Seal" specially used by the 'Tianshi Mansion'.
Logically speaking, this reply should be sent to Shangjing Baifu.
But in terms of teacher-teacher relationship, the branch of Tianshi Mansion is indeed closer to the Luo family, and they can't argue with it if it is sent to their family.
Everyone knows that the Bai family and the Luo family have a close relationship, and they have a lasting brotherhood accumulated over several generations.
Therefore, the Tianshi Mansion specially sent the letter to Mr. Luo's home, and the meaning of doing so was obvious.
We all know what you two are thinking. We have to let you know what we think.
The other three families of the Southern Sect are different in seniority, and there are certain things that they, the juniors, cannot say.
The "Tianshi Mansion" has a special status. The person in charge is the "Kang generation". According to the rules, one generation is also considered the "Shou generation", so it naturally becomes the mouthpiece of the Southern sect.
The content of the letter is very direct and explicit. To put it simply:
"I heard that you two are going to accept a few Internet celebrities as disciples. We, the four Southern sects, don't think this is appropriate. If you insist on doing this, then simply recruit these Internet celebrities as disciples. Come out and practice stretching."
The meaning is very clear. Since you think these three brothers can live up to the title of "Kang generation", then let's have a competition between the northern and southern factions.
The disciples we have sent here are all of the "Ning generation", and their seniority is incomparable to yours.
But if you, the disciples of the "Kang generation" who have an alliance with each other, lose to these juniors, there will be no need to mention the matter of accepting disciples in the future.
This letter was circulated among several people.
The meaning is probably clear.
"It's a competition, who is afraid of whom? If our brothers don't beat their shit out, they will be clean."
Old man Luo raised his hand and gave Wang Qiang a big chestnut.
Even though he has a hunched back and a stooped body all day long, his hands are not very strong.
Wang Qiang burst into tears and did not dare to say anything.
"Are you asking us to fight? Huh? Besides, with your body, you want to fight with someone, and you may beat the shit out of whom. I believe you can see everything. It's been a rough day. Impatient."
Wang Qiang covered his forehead and picked up the letter from the table again.
It turns out that there is something on the back of the letter.
The content of the competition has been decided: Eguchi Chenyin.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the Bashu rebel army, the "Eight Great Kings", proclaimed himself emperor in Rongcheng, established the "Daxi regime", and was called the "Daxi King".
From the uprising to proclaiming himself emperor, this "eight kings" did a lot of plundering the people's wealth and anointing.
Later, under the encirclement and pursuit of Manchu officers and soldiers, Zhang Xianzhong abandoned Rongcheng and took his gold and silver treasures with him to go south along the river. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Yang Zhan, an armed landlord, and the large amount of gold and silver he carried sank into the river embankment.
Later, during the Yang Zhan and Qianlong reigns, the governor-general Sun Shiyi successively recruited sailors to salvage tens of thousands of gold and silver.
Later, after several wars, the people only left the folk song: "Stone dragon vs. stone tiger, gold and silver are ten thousand, whoever can tell the difference can buy Rongcheng Mansion".
