"What if I don't let you in?"
Ye Daoling was wearing a white Tang suit, with a large wet spot on the front.
His short hair was messy, his face was flushed, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead that had not been wiped clean. It was not difficult to guess what he was doing just now.
The Ye family loves martial arts, and the family-inherited White Tiger Fist is so powerful that it can split mountains and crack rocks. If one reaches the tiger stage, he can turn himself into a tiger and raise a tiger with his body. When a person patrols the mountains like a tiger king, no beast can stop him.
The three brothers of the Ye family all practiced martial arts, and the second brother of the Ye family, Ye Daoxuan, achieved the highest level. He was the first of the three brothers to enter the stage of becoming a tiger, which caused a great sensation in the inner martial arts world. It was precisely because of the excellence of Ye Daoxuan and the other two brothers that outsiders called the three brothers the "Three Tigers of the Ye Family", and some also called them the "Three Heroes of the Ye Family". Of course, the latter is far less famous than the former.
Ye Daoxian is a genius. He improved the Tiger Fist and put it into the training of the members of the most elite and mysterious Oriental Sword special forces in China, which he directly controls. When the Oriental Sword performs various difficult tasks, the Tiger Fist plays an excellent role, achieving amazing combat effectiveness and protecting the safety of the Oriental Sword members to the maximum extent. In an overseas battle, the Oriental Sword encountered the Wolf Blood Kamikaze Team of South Africa, which is also famous for its fierceness and bloodthirstiness. The Oriental Sword fought away from home and fought one against three. It lost three people and injured five people, and completely wiped out 21 elite members of the Wolf Blood Kamikaze Team.
This battle shocked the whole world. The United States, Russia, and Israel, countries famous for their special forces, did not realize until this time that China's special forces had already ranked among the world's strongest teams.
It is said that the military is very interested in the Ye family's Tiger Fist and is working with Ye Daoxuan to prepare a simplified version as one of the basic boxing techniques for the soldiers of the three armies.
If Ye Daoxuan's simplified version of the Tiger Fist is promoted and applied in the three armies, then Ye Daoxuan will become the master of the three armies, much more powerful than Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000 imperial troops in "Water Margin"-----
As a result, the Ye family will become the most powerful and aristocratic family in Yanjing and even in the whole of China.
This is also the reason why Ye Daoxuan has been elusive in recent years and has almost never returned to his hometown in Yanziwu, devoting himself to the military. He knows the significance of the success of this move to him and the Ye family.
Ye Daowen has a kind personality. He stays in the old house of Yanziwu and takes care of the old and young of the Ye family. He is equivalent to the patriarch of the Ye family. He is devoted to martial arts. Although his aptitude is slightly weak, he has achieved good results after years of hard training.
Ye Daoling was keen on politics, so he was inevitably distracted. Therefore, his martial arts level was naturally inferior to that of the other two brothers.
When commenting on the heroes of Yanziwu, Lao Jiugui once said: In terms of fierce killing, Daoxian is the best in Ye family tiger fist, Daoling is the best in agility, and if it comes to solidity and solemnity, Ye Daowen is the best - Daoxian and Daoling win in the front, Daowen wins in the back. The key lies in whether Daowen can break through the threshold in front.
Even Ye Daoling, the weakest of the three brothers, had already entered the middle stage of the Tiger Fist. If he had enough time and could practice every day, it would be easy for him to break through again.
However, now such a powerful person is blocking the door of the Ye family's old house and asking what will happen if I don't let you in-----Isn't this bullying
Fang Yan laughed when he saw Ye Daoling, and greeted him enthusiastically and actively, saying: "Third Uncle, long time no see ----- When did you come back? I was thinking of visiting you in Yanjing after I came back this time, but I didn't expect to run into you in Yanziwu. Did Third Uncle just finish practicing Kung Fu? It's still early, and I guess Third Uncle won't rest now. I'll go in and have some tea and chat with you----"
When Fang Yan spoke, he was about to pass by the gatekeeper Ye Laosan.
Ye Lao San stretched out his hand to intercept, just in time to block Fang Yan's body.
Fang Yan looked at Ye Lao San and said, "Grandpa Ye, Uncle San has agreed to this --- why are you still blocking me?"
Ye Lao San liked Fang Yan and sincerely advised: "Xiao Yanzi, go back-----come back in the morning. Grandpa will open the door for you."
Ye Daoling looked at Fang Yan thoughtfully and said, "Fang Yan, do you know what time it is now? The whole family of the Ye family, young and old, lives in here - is it appropriate for you to break in in the middle of the night?"
"Uncle San, I want to see Ye Wenrou-----" Fang Yan stated his purpose directly.
"No." Ye Daoling refused and said, "Wenrou is in seclusion and will not see anyone-----"
"Uncle San, I feel irritated and uneasy. I'm worried that something happened to Wenrou-----" Fang Yan said anxiously.
Ye Daoling sneered and said, "Fang Yan, you feel irritable and restless because you are sick. If you are sick, you should go to the doctor. What does this have to do with gentleness?"
"I think something is wrong with Wenrou. Maybe she is having trouble breaking through." Fang Yan explained helplessly, "It would be better if she is fine. If she is, I have to go check to make sure she is safe."
Ye Daoling was amused by Fang Yan's words. He looked at Fang Yan and said, "Fang Yan, don't you think your request is too much? Wenrou is in seclusion to break through. This is a huge matter for our Ye family. During this period, everyone in the Ye family has been serving Wenrou. The first priority is to ensure Wenrou's safety. You said that Wenrou is in danger and that you want to go in to see her. Why? Ye Wenrou belongs to my Ye family. If she is disturbed by you during the most critical period of breakthrough, who will be responsible? Who will bear the loss? What if you ruin Wenrou's ascent to the top and let her suffer the backlash of the heaven? Fang Yan, why should I give you such an opportunity?"
Fang Yan looked at Ye Daoling sincerely and said, "Third Uncle, you care about Wen Rou, and I care about Wen Rou as well. Wen Rou is a member of your Ye family now, but she will be a member of my Fang family in the future-----"
"Asshole." Ye Daoling shouted coldly, "Who said Wenrou will be a member of your Fang family from now on? Did our Ye family agree?"
Fang Yan was not angry. He looked at Ye Daoling and said, "Uncle San, this is a private matter between Wenrou and me. As long as Wenrou agrees, it's fine. I want to marry Ye Wenrou, and I'm not planning to marry all of your Ye family members into the family. She is my girlfriend, and I am her boyfriend. If it weren't for my father's recent death, Wenrou and I might have already married and had children. "
"I've known for a long time that you, Fang Yan, are sharp-tongued and hard to deal with. Now you've learned to make trouble with me?" Ye Daoling's face turned pale, and he said to Ye Lao San: "Get me a small stool, I'll stay here tonight, I want to see how you get into my Ye family's gate-----"
Fang Yan's eyes were firm, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle San, you also know that you can't beat me-----"
Ye Daoling was so angry at Fang Yan that he laughed. He said, "You really have confidence in yourself. Since you said I can't beat you, I'm going to give it a try. If you dare to step over the threshold of my Ye family tonight, I will use the Ye family's tiger fist to treat you."
"Uncle San, we are all family from now on. Why do we have to fight?" Fang Yan said helplessly, "Didn't we get along very well last time in Yanjing? You even praised me at that time, saying that I was the most outstanding young man in Yanziwu. The most outstanding young man can't even enter the gate of your Ye family?"
"No." Ye Daoling said. "Before Wenrou comes out of retreat, no one is allowed to disturb her. This is the rule we set at the Ye family meeting. I'm on duty tonight, so I can't let anyone break the rules on the first day."
"Then I have to apologize to Uncle San---" Fang Yan said.
As he spoke, he had already bent down and rushed into the backyard of the Ye family's old house.
boom-----
Ye Daoling's body instantly bounced up and pounced towards Fang Yan like a tiger hunting its prey.

The ancients emphasized facing the wall to reflect on their mistakes, but people today like to face the wall to make breakthroughs.
In fact, facing the wall and thinking about one's mistakes and facing the wall to break through are the same principle. The ancients' facing the wall and thinking about one's mistakes also had the idea that while reflecting on oneself, one could also improve one's own strength and cultivation - both physically and mentally.
This is a sealed stone cave in the basement of the Ye Family Ancestral Hall. In the past, it was used to escape from war or when the family encountered a major crisis. Now, it has become a place for important people in the family to hide when they face important decisions.
The cave was extremely simple, with a stone bed, a stone table, and a stone chair. These were all the belongings in the house.
There is a simple and elegant glass bottle on the stone table, with a bamboo branch inserted in it. This bottle and the bamboo branch inside the bottle were brought in by Ye Wenrou during her retreat, in order to have a companion in this stone room. The green bamboo leaves are the only green in this room.
There is a window in the stone chamber, and moonlight shines in obliquely from the skylight above, illuminating every corner of the stone chamber.
The ventilation and exhaust holes are well designed, so people won’t feel chest tightness or shortness of breath.
No telephones, no computers, no music or books - no modern things.
Because I haven't had my hair cut for a long time, it has grown a little longer and now reaches my shoulders.
Because she had not been exposed to the sun for a long time, her pretty face was pale, giving people an almost transparent color. Ye Wenrou was wearing a black robe, sitting cross-legged on the bed, her hands naturally clasped on her knees, her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.
She has maintained this posture for three days and three nights.
Three days ago, after she had eaten some dry food and drunk some water, she suddenly had an epiphany, so she walked over to the stone bed and sat down.
In the past two days, Ye Wenrou's mind was very calm, without desire or demand, and her six senses were pure. Her mind was in a "wonton" state. Neither dirty nor clean, she didn't think about anything, but she could capture everything.
She walked in the wilderness, in an uninhabited Gobi desert.
The yellow sand rolled, the wind blew, and she was the only moving living thing in the world.
In the distant sky, she could hear the cry of cranes.
She knew that the crane was the path she was looking for -- she wanted to find the crane. (To be continued)
