Chapter 2: Baptism
Hao Qi was eating dinner, looking at the newspaper, and when he looked at it, his eyes froze, and he read an article in the newspaper back and forth several times, and then put down the newspaper and thought about something silently.
The newspaper reported an article, which said that a huge corruption case was found in the capital area of the Blue Shadow Republic, and there were a lot of criminals, but the first place was Xu Wen of the internal affairs department of the government of the capital area, and there were black and white photos of him and the crimes listed, in addition to corruption and bribery, drug smuggling, there was also abuse of power and extraordinarily large group killing, and afterwards the destruction of corpses and arson, after the crime was exposed, it was a vain attempt to kill witnesses in order to cover up, but the legal net was restored, and finally he was arrested and tried, and then directly sentenced to hanging, not to mention it, deprived of political power for life......
(Could it be that the Xu family has fallen? because I killed one of the Xu family's internal strengths?) No, it's unlikely, because even if the Xu family has only one strong internal force, it is absolutely impossible to completely collapse, and now I am also a strong internal force, and I know very well how powerful the internal force realm is, not to mention the weapons of this civilized era, not even heavy sniper rifles, missiles, high-power weapons or something, even if there are these, it is basically impossible to hurt the strong with internal strength, or that sentence, the strong with internal strength is not a fool, do you see you with hundreds of heavy weapons and rush up to die? As long as you hide in the shadows, whoever dares to exterminate my family, I will kill one today, and one tomorrow, no one will think about it, so as long as the Xu family has a strong internal force, there should be no such trial, unless it is ......"
After all, Hao Qi came from the era of the information explosion, and he naturally understands that the so-called law is actually something that exists to protect the interests of the ruling class, and if this law is to be used against the ruling class in turn, then the ruling class can directly purge the people who enforce the law, unless the ruling class is no longer the ruling class, otherwise the law will never be turned against the ruling class.
As long as the Xu family still has an internal force to suppress the ethnic movement, then the Xu family will always be the ruling class, and the only possibility for such a trial is that the Xu family has allowed it......
(Do you want to make peace with me?...... )
Hao Qi already had a guess in his heart, and he was basically sure that this guess** Not far from ten, although he does not understand the fanatical thinking of people in this era about the family and the sect because of the factors of his identity and the worldview before he has traveled, but this does not prevent him from deducing the plans of the Xu family, the Xu family is planning to abandon this heir to save the existence of the entire Xu family, after all, he has already killed a strong person in the Xu family, if he kills another one, the Xu family will really be wiped out, don't say anything about family friendship, what family friendship, when a family declines, all the interests of this family will attract other families to pounce on it and tear it apart directly, and it's the kind of extermination that never leaves any remnants......
Now, the choice fell to Hao Qi, he picked up the newspaper again and read it carefully, after reading it for a long time, he sighed, and finally put down the newspaper, and this time he put it down, and never picked it up again.
After all, the person who killed his brother has been sentenced to death, as long as he is really dead, not the Xu family's strategy of dropping the bag, or the trap that attracts him to go, then the mutual grievances will be settled, after all, it is a big family, and there are many men, women and children in the family, and if he wants to take a family to bury his brother, whether he knows it or not, whether he is innocent or not, he can't do such a thing.
Also...... That's it.
With a decision in his heart, Hao Qi also let go of his last thoughts, just waiting to confirm that Xu Wen really died by hanging, then he can start planning his dream, of course, he still has a lot to do before this, such as having enough money and a map, although it is unlikely that there will be a so-called world map, but at least the map of the Blue Shadow Republic and its surrounding countries must be there, and at the same time he has to buy many books, books on survival in Chinese the wilderness, books in various languages, books on civilizations in various places, many, many ......
By the way, a very important one, medical books are simply necessary, this is what he only discovered when he healed and repaired the dark wounds in his body these days, his lack of medical knowledge, the repair and strengthening of the body's organs, internal organs, nerves, etc., made him bothered, if he intends to improve in strength, then medicine must be learned, this is not counted, when he travels around the world in the future, he is sick, poisoned, or seriously injured, if he has medical knowledge, this is likely to save his life.
"Alas, I'm still short of money......"
Hao Qi sighed, stopped his thoughts, and after dinner, he went to find a telegraph office, sent a telegram to the Li family in the capital area, and then returned to the hotel where he stayed to recuperate, and on the afternoon of the next day, Li Pancheng, Xue Na, and the Li family's internal force realm powerhouse all arrived at this hotel.
Among the three people who arrived, the old man of the Li family, who was strong in internal strength, looked at Hao Qi with a smile, as if he was Hao Qi's long-term friend, and he was a little friend when he opened and closed his mouth, but Li Pancheng and Xue Na had complicated expressions, especially Li Pancheng, who looked at Hao Qi and stopped, as if he didn't know what to say.
"Brother Li, eldest sister, we met in Weimo, and we treat each other sincerely, I believe that we will definitely be friends in the future, right?" Hao Qi took the lead in saying to Li Pancheng and Xue Na.
Before Li Pancheng could speak, Xue Na had already taken the first step and shouted: "That's for sure, you kid is now developed, the youngest internal force realm in the history of the Blue Shadow Republic, and he also has the strength above the middle level of the internal force realm, he didn't dare to recognize you when he just came in, but now it's confirmed, you are still the brainless little radish head, this has not changed." ”
Hao Qi touched his nose a little embarrassed, when he just crossed over, his body had not grown, and then he practiced Luohan Boxing, which consumed more nutrients in his body, which led to his big head and thin body in the initial period, so he also had a nickname of Little Radish Head, which only the closest people knew, and now Xue Na said this nickname, even if he was a little estranged from Xue Na, but it was not good to mention anything more.
At the next moment of greeting, Hao Qi asked the strong man in the Li family again: "Is the Xu family really planning to reconcile? Is that Xu Wen the real body? Or is it a trap waiting for me to go to the capital area? Old man, anyway, I owe the Li family a debt of affection, and I can only ask you these questions." ”
The strong man in the Li family did not feel troubled at all, but said happily: "It's polite to say that the debt is favored, your sister is our Li family's daughter-in-law, we are all a family, and if you say that the favor is there, it is indeed to see the outside...... Speaking of Xu Wen's trial, this is indeed true, the process of the trial and the process of finding criminal evidence, as well as the hanging process that will be carried out soon, the Xu family invited the eight major families in the capital area, including my Li family, to participate at the same time, and Xu Wen has also been imprisoned, and at the same time it has been verified that the body is indeed Xu Wen himself, not a substitute, because he is a person who is only a little short of reaching the quasi-internal force body, and the younger generation of the Xu family is the only one Xu Wen is like this. ”
"Really?" Hao Qi was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Then trouble Uncle to bring a message to the Xu family, I am waiting for Xu Wen's death, as long as he is dead, then the grievances between me and the Xu family will be written off." ”
The old man of the Li family nodded and said, "Wise...... However, the grievances between you and the Xu family have been written off, but you still have one more problem to overcome. ”
Hao Qi suddenly became curious, and he asked strangely, "What is the problem? Could it be that the Xu family still plans to continue to make enemies with me?"
"No, it's not the Xu family. The old man of the Li family continued: "It's the country, the Blue Shadow Republic...... Have you ever heard of baptism?"
"Baptism?" Hao Qi was even more confused, he asked strangely, "Is it a religious ritual?"
"No, no, no, Xiaoyou misunderstood. The old man of the Li family suddenly laughed and said: "As martial artists, although there are also people who believe in religion or gods, but the affairs between martial artists are basically not related to religion, and the so-called baptism is naturally the baptism of martial artists." ”
"As early as tens of millions of years ago, when we human beings were still living in tribal units, the internal force realm was already at the highest level of human beings, because there were many huge, ferocious, and naturally with similar internal force to the internal energy circulation system of creatures, in ancient times before there were no firearms and weapons, these creatures could not rely on collective strength to defeat, only the strong internal force can match it, because of this, the internal force realm has such a high status, because from the beginning, our internal force realm is the evolutionary and protector of human beings to survive in this natural world。 ”
"But the internal force realm is also a human being, even if the level of life is improved, but human beings are human beings, there are seven emotions and six desires, there is love and hatred, speaking of which, I want to ask Xiaoyou, do you think the existence of the family is reasonable?"
Speaking of this, the old man of the Li family looked at Hao Qi with a very serious and serious expression.
Hao Qi's heart sank, since he achieved the internal force realm, there is a kind of spiritual awareness in silence, for example, when he sent a telegram to the Li family, he inexplicably felt that there was nothing wrong with this telegram, and it would not attract enemies, this kind of spiritual sense could not be carefully described in words, but it did exist, and now he faintly felt that this answer was very important, this seemed to be a kind of road questioning, if this road answer was not right, then his current friendship with the Li family might end.
"The Saga ...... Personally, I believe that the family is a necessity. ”
Although Hao Qi Lingjue told him that this answer was very important, he still planned to answer according to his own heart, since he broke out his internal force five days ago, breaking the entanglement of reality, he no longer intends to wronged himself anything, if he is together, if he is not compatible, he is not afraid, he is not afraid of all kinds of difficulties and dangers, ten years of sharpening a sword, not only grinding out the internal force of his body, but also grinding out the persistence in his heart.
"For example, if I become an internal force realm, if I marry a wife and have children in the future, then my children will naturally have a higher starting point than ordinary people, and I can't deliberately pretend to be willing to be bland, I have strength, then matching my social status will naturally exist, so that my children have a social status since they were young, with financial strength, coupled with my martial arts knowledge as an internal force realm, and their careful teaching, my children may also become an internal force realm, so that from generation to generation, my family for my ancestors will be formed, unless the descendants are not good, otherwise my family is established reasonably, and there is nothing that hurts the heavens and the reason, which in itself is a reasonable necessity. ”
"This process is not only the family, but also includes the sect, but also includes the country, including any forces that gather people, maybe there are unscrupulous, there are villains, etc., but this has nothing to do with the family in essence, of course, if the family itself has deteriorated, take what I just said about my family, if it deviates from the original path under the management of future descendants, drug trafficking, human trafficking, forcing good people to prostitution, etc., then this family belongs to the damned, but this is the same as good and evil, you can say that this human being is a bad person, but you can't say that all human beings are bad people, this also applies to the family。 ”
After Hao Qi said all this, the old man of the Li family slowly smiled, and then the old man of the Li family said: "It is this truth, but many people do not understand this truth, especially the young and frivolous, they mistakenly judge good and evil directly in a class, which is wrong in itself, if it is an ordinary person, it is just that, but what if this young and frivolous person is in the internal force realm?" You and I are both in the internal force realm, and I should know that if the internal force realm is ruthless and really intends to destroy and attack, then no one else is safe except the internal force realm, and the damage caused to the country, the family, the sect, and the society is too great, in case this internal force realm is the kind of young and poor genius, and similar to you, there is a life and death grudge with the family, the sect, and the country? So, since ancient times, I don't know when it began, and the baptism that the internal force realm only knew appeared. ”
"Ordinary internal force strong, often first with ordinary warriors slowly come out, slowly become a quasi-internal force strong, at that time is basically the whole country is famous, and then accumulate its fame and social status, and the country's internal force strong, and even the surrounding countries of the internal force of the strong acquaintance, so that slowly know the situation of the internal force realm, slowly accumulate breakthroughs, to its achievement of the internal force realm, its character, its social status, its family, its friends and enemies have been understood, in this case, the baptism, in fact, is a conference to confirm its internal force realm qualifications, at most when the internal force realm gathers, this newcomer and some old qualifications of the internal force realm to fight each other, but if it's a situation like you, Xiaoyou, and as soon as you explode your internal force, you immediately become hostile to the family, then the situation will become a real baptism. ”
Hao Qi's expression also became serious, he clenched his fists and said, "I want to hear about it." ”
The old man of the Li family nodded and said, " It's easy to say, now our country has a total of forty-two recorded internal strength, including twenty-one families, eleven sects, and ten scattered people, after you send a telegram, the country has a little bit of your whereabouts, and then I will inform Xiaoyou, from today to count, fifteen days later, the baptism will begin, respectively, by the family to send a person, the sect to send a person, the state to send a person, and then a person from the scattered people, a total of four people to find Xiaoyou to learn, as long as Xiaoyou can not die in the four-person competition, escape, block, or even entrust the relationship, as long as you can block the four, then even if the Xiaoyou baptism is qualified。 ”
"I see. ”
Hao Qixin has a feeling, this baptism principle seems simple, in fact, it has a profound meaning, first of all, the powerful must have status, this is whether it is the earth or this world, or as long as there is a society and class of intelligent life in the world, it will be so, the original British Victorian era on the earth, the British Parliament even issued a decree, as long as the number of people who have pounds to reach a certain number, then they should or must join the British knighthood class, this is the wisdom of Britain, not to suppress those who have power, but to win over those who have power, so that the sun never sets on the great cause of the empire, the same as the United States later。
Therefore, if this baptism is simply to kill the strong people of the internal force realm who are not social or hostile to the ruling class, then Hao Qi will feel that this baptism custom can be passed down for thousands of years, and the human society in this world has not been destroyed, this is simply a big joke, what is the proportion of the population of the ruling class? Civilians are 10,000 times, 100,000 times, 10 million times, 10 million times more than the ruling class, if they really want to suppress and kill, this ruling class will have already been torn to pieces by the internal force that has appeared in the civilians.
Therefore, the essence of this baptism is not to suppress the internal force realm of the common people, its purpose is threefold, one is to attract all those who have internal force into the ruling class, and the other is to let them disagree with their political views, or the strong person of the internal force realm from the civilian background clearly understands that he is not unique, the country and the family, including the sect have enough strength to defeat it, as for the third purpose, that is, to kill the kind of internal force realm powerhouse who is completely unable to communicate and is mad.
Hao Qi also knew that a strong person in the internal force realm was definitely very significant for the strength of a country, and he knew from what the old man of the Li family said that at present, there are only forty-two strong people in the entire Blue Shadow Realm who know it, you know, the Blue Shadow Republic also has a population of more than 30 million, and the ratio of forty-two internal force realms is not one in one hundred thousand at all, it is almost close to the ratio of one in one million, of course, it is not excluded that some internal force realms that are not registered in the record, or there are some internal force realms like him who left the internal force realm of the Blue Shadow Republic quickly, but this number has greatly illustrated the value of the internal force realm。
It is precisely because of the great value, and at the same time the harm is also great, this baptism is actually a process of serving the ruler, if it can be used by the ruler, then the new internal force realm can directly join the ruler class through the baptism, if it cannot be used by the ruler, or there is some gap between each other, then it is necessary to deter this new internal force realm, let it understand the terrible ruling class, even if there is a gap, between each other is the well water does not violate the river water, no one should go too far, and then there is the third purpose, which can not be used by the ruling class, and has a big grudge with the ruling class, and can only lie down with each other, this baptism is the real blood feast of life and death, and it will not end until one of them is beaten down.
Thinking about it, in the past few days, the political struggle in the capital area must be very fierce, Hao Qi looked at Xu Wen's trial time, it is estimated that the Xu family did not intend to reconcile so much at the beginning, after all, after such a reconciliation, the social status of the Xu family is estimated to decline a lot, far away from the circle of the top family, it is estimated that at the beginning, the Xu family contacted I don't know how many families, and planned to classify him into the third category, so that in this baptism initiated by the entire ruling class, Hao Qi will be killed.
The interest transaction in the middle, as well as Hao Qi's own strength is also a weight, it is estimated that with the help of the Li family, the ruling class is not stupid, since Hao Qi can kill an internal force realm, then will he drag another internal force realm to die together in a desperate situation? And a careful investigation can find that Hao Qi is not an enemy of the entire ruling class, but an enemy of the Xu family, in this case, no one will take a break for the Xu family, so in the end, the Xu family can only choose to reconcile like this, and he has also become the second type in the baptism, that is, he intends to deter him.
"Understood. Hao Qi immediately hugged his fists and said to the old man of the Li family: "Thank you for the help of the Li family." ”
The old man of the Li family smiled like a fox stealing a chicken, he accepted Hao Qi's salute, and then said: "It is one of the four internal force baptismists to weigh Xiaoyou's strength on behalf of the family, so in the past fifteen days, I will accompany Xiaoyou to live in this town for a period of time, if Xiaoyou doesn't understand anything about the internal force realm, you can ask me." ”
Hao Qi was immediately overjoyed, and he thanked him at the moment, and the old man of the Li family lived here, and Li Pancheng and Xue Na also lived, waiting for fifteen days later......
Baptism!
