Chapter 69: Hu Ling's Background
Hu Weidi took the opportunity to retreat, but in fact he went around in a circle and returned to the bushes at the edge of the previous battle, because he knew very well that if Xu Tianfu wanted to hunt him down, returning to the Hu Mansion would undoubtedly be a trap.
Although I don't understand why Captain Mu finally turned against me, but today we have already fought a battle, and the court's future actions against me are clear to everyone, especially when Captain Mu mentioned the evidence of collusion between himself and the Dihu Society.
Hu Weidi was naturally very clear about the situation of the Dihu Society. They were involved in human trafficking, forcing decent women to death, secretly searching for elixirs, and threatening and defrauding the families of some dead warriors.
This not only violates the taboo of the government, but also will be condemned by everyone in the martial arts world if it is made public. After all, there are the most independent cultivators in the martial arts world. Although they are wandering outside, most of them have families in their hometowns.
If they knew that after their death, their families would be bullied by some local ruffians because of their wandering around in the underworld, it would definitely cause a great turmoil.
Hu Weidi felt a little regretful when he thought of this. At that time, the Dihu Society was established to provide a large number of elixirs to himself and Hu Yi. After all, the resources of the Hu family were too limited and had to be distributed to several elders and their disciples.
The most crucial reason is because of one person, that is, his so-called eldest son, the core disciple of Lujian Mountain, Hu Ling, the fifth on the Human List and the Tianjue Sword.
Everyone thought that Hu Ling was indifferent to emotions, which was why he could create his own Tianjue sword energy at such a young age.
Hu Weidi was very clear about the relationship between himself and Hu Ling. Hu Ling himself was an orphan. As he had no children for many years, in order not to lose his voice in the family, he secretly found a three-year-old orphan who looked like himself and passed him off as his illegitimate child. This person was Hu Ling.
However, just a few years after adopting Hu Ling, Hu Weidi discovered that he had a child with his current wife, and his wife died of exhaustion during the birth of Hu Yi.
Although Hu Weidi was a cunning and cruel person who would do anything to achieve his goals, he was impeccable in his loyalty. He would rather adopt a son than take a concubine and have another child, which shows his love for his first wife.
However, when Hu Yi was born, he was devastated by the death of his first wife, so he poured all his love for his first wife into Hu Yi, and did not know what to do with Hu Ling.
Therefore, they told the public that Hu Ling's physique was not suitable for martial arts training and forbade Hu Ling to practice martial arts privately. At the same time, they did not discipline Hu Ling and let him go on his own, hoping that Hu Ling would develop the habits of a playboy when he grew up, and then they would find an opportunity to get rid of Hu Ling.
At the same time, he took great care to discipline Hu Yi, and hired the best teachers for both his literary and martial arts studies. However, even so, Hu Yi looked like a gentleman on the surface, but in fact he was unskilled and his mind was blinded by lust.
It is difficult to draw the bones of a tiger while drawing its skin; you can know a person's face but not his heart. Unlike Hu Yi, although Hu Ling was not well taken care of since childhood, he loved reading because the old servants who served him at home taught him to read and understand things since childhood.
Hu Weidi turned a blind eye to his behavior. After all, in this era, scholars and military men looked down on each other. Besides, since he was the eldest son of the Hu family, he could not target him too obviously. So he allowed him to read freely in the library of the Hu Mansion.
Although Hu Ling was adopted at the age of three, he was mentally precocious and could remember things early, so he knew very well that he was not Hu Weidi's biological son. After Hu Yi was born, he noticed the change in Hu Weidi's attitude towards him, and realized that he had become an eyesore.
However, he was young and had no ability to survive. In addition, the only old servant who was kind to him was still there, so he could only endure Hu Wei's more or less difficulties. Until he accidentally found a book of exercises in the interlayer of a book in the study, which was "Guan Tian Du Fa Si"
After a simple training, because Hu Ling's intelligence was extremely high, it didn't take him long to get started. At the same time, his mental strength was enhanced. He also knew from the knowledge in the book that his physique was not bad. It was just an excuse for Hu Wei to prevent himself from practicing martial arts.
In addition, the old servant died unexpectedly not long after, so Hu Ling planned to leave. He secretly observed the servants in the Hu Mansion practicing martial arts. At the same time, he went outside the Hu Mansion late at night every day and secretly practiced the sword techniques he saw with tree branches. Until the elders of Lujian Mountain passed by, they discovered that Hu Ling, who was young and had not learned any martial arts, had already entered the embryonic stage of sword heart.
After a lot of persistence, he finally made Hu Ling believe his identity and prepared to take Hu Ling away.
Although Hu Ling had been bullied by Hu Weidi in the past few years, Hu Weidi still saved his life and raised him, so he explained in front of the elders of Lujian Mountain, the three elders of the Hu family and Hu Weidi that he had already known about his relationship with Hu Weidi.
He also told everyone present about the existence of "The Method of Guan Tian Du". Elder Lu Jian Shan flipped through it casually and found that it was just a good book of spiritual secrets, so he didn't care much about it. However, everyone in the Hu Mansion was extremely happy.
After all, spiritual secrets are extremely rare in the Tianmu Domain, and only disciples from powerful forces have the opportunity to practice them.
At the same time, Hu Ling's action also indicated that from now on he would draw a line between himself and the Hu family in Jinyang City, and use this technique to sever all ties between them.
The three elders of the Hu family had no objection. After all, they didn't want Hu Wei to continue to grow stronger. Moreover, with the "Guan Tian Du Fa" in hand, it was only a matter of time before the Hu family rose to power.
Hu Weidi was indeed so angry that his face turned pale and red. The dirty things he had done in private were made public, and he could not do anything about it. He had to put on a smile and thank Hu Ling for his magnanimity.
The elder of Lujian Mountain admired Hu Ling even more. He believed that a swordsman should repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. He should cut off everything and would rather break than bend. Then, after warning the Hu family not to use the guise of Lujian Mountain, he took Hu Ling away.
It was not until Hu Ling entered the human list that some news about Hu Ling surfaced. The top leaders of various major forces knew about this matter, but after all, it was someone else's family affair and it had been settled, so they naturally didn't bother to gossip about it.
Later, under the propaganda of Lujian Mountain, it was reported that Hu Ling was indifferent to feelings because his heart belonged only to kendo, and the Hu family could only acquiesce in this matter, but it also provided a good cover for the Hu family.
This was a happy occasion for everyone except Hu Weidi, who was mentally unbalanced. As Hu Ling became stronger and more famous, Hu Weidi believed that it was all due to the "Guan Tian Du Fa" and so he had higher expectations for Hu Yi. In order to improve Hu Yi's cultivation, he used many despicable means to obtain elixirs.
Hu Weidi is a good father and a good husband, but to those innocent people who are persecuted, he is a big villain who hides in the underworld and manipulates everything.
When a person's bottom line becomes lower and lower, even to the point where there is no bottom line, he is a madman, a madman who has no moral standards and has forgotten his original intention.
Perhaps Hu Weidi was indeed a good patriarch who only wanted to revitalize his family before Hu Yi was born and his wife died. However, under various circumstances , his jealousy, hatred, selfishness, and paranoia were all released in an instant.
As kind as he was before, he is as vicious now.
