My Waste Husband

Chapter 556

The clans were more mysterious than the ancient kungfu families. The ancient kungfu families were mostly hidden in the city. After getting familiar with these families, one would find that there were ancient kungfu families in many places, both in the official or the business field. For example, the Su Family had many companies in Yanjing, and the place they lived was not far away from the city. Besides, people like Victor also had some power in the government.

But the clans were different. It could be said that the clans were entirely out of the everyday life circle and could not be seen at all.

They sat in the Buick commercial car and drove out of the city.

There were a lot of mountains around the city. Even the city was built in the mountains.

The destination of this car was a mountain.

Henry saw that there were no other cars on the steep mountain road, and there were many trees on both sides. There were no specific roads in some places. It could be said that this car had been travelling through the mountains and forests.

Uriah told Henry that many clans had an agreement with the authorities. If the clan did not come out in public, the officials would try their best to ensure that the clan would not be disturbed, so that the clan could live a peaceful life. As for why the two sides had reached such an agreement, Uriah himself was not clear.

The road they were driving on was not developed at all, and it was also a forbidden place for anyone to travel.

The mountain road stretched upwards. Ten minutes later, Henry looked out of the window. Obviously, they were already halfway up the mountain. The path was very difficult to drive, and

there was obvious turbulence in the car.

Uriah said to Henry, "Brother Zhang, you are also a member of the clan, so you should know how long the clan has existed. Now there are many records in ancient books, which are not fictional. Our Tang family was called the Tang Sect for a period of time. There have been many generals and soldiers of the Tang Sect since ancient times, and there were many cunning and despicable people. In the most glorious time of the Tang Sect, there used to be such a saying that people would rather meet the king of hell than offend the Tang Sect."

When Uriah said the last sentence, there was a deep longing in his eyes. Unfortunately, the glory of the Tang Sect was no longer there.

When Uriah spoke, Henry didn't interrupt and just listened quietly. He needed to learn about them now. He knew too little about the clans.

Uriah continued, "We are different from the huge clan like the Li family of Longxi. The Li family has a lot of branches. Even now, the members of the Li family are all over the country. Our Tang family, even in our best of times, we were living in seclusion. Now even more. Only when we train the next generation will we let our young people go out to live for a few years."

Henry was surprised. "Many people in the ancient kungfu families have arranged marriages. Don't you want to arrange a marriage for them? Do you still want your clansmen to go out?"

Uriah gave a wry smile and said, "Brother Zhang, you don't know that although the Tang Sect used to be well-known, we only live in our own world because of our lack of understanding for the right and wrong in the kungfu world. We are not willing to be friends with noble sects and schools, but we also don't want to be in league with the evil spirits. Therefore, we do not have many friends. Until now, everyone has been trying their best to keep the family alive. Who will do such a thing by arranged marriage? An arranged marriage is equal to self-destruction."

Hearing this, Henry nodded his head. Indeed, if the number of people declined, the one who got in an arranged marriage was indeed self-destructing.

Watching the car heading up the mountain, Henry asked curiously, "Does your Tang family live in the mountain?"

"Yes." Uriah nodded. "Our Tang family mainly relies on mechanical hidden weapons. The reason why we are still alive is that there are mountains, as well as countless mechanical hidden weapons around us. How many kinds of traps are set up around here? Even we don't know. Only the old patriarch can fully control it. Otherwise, our Tang family would have declined long ago."

As Uriah spoke, he began to sigh.

Henry saw that the car he was driving into a cave. This cave was well-hidden. There was a bunch of vines on the mountain wall that blocked the entrance. One would not be able to remove all that vine even if he wanted to. Even if he wanted to drive in, he had to break through it. But if he didn't know what was inside, he would not only go in casually.

The car was driving fast in the dim cave for five minutes. Henry calculated the time and speed, and he concluded that at this moment, the car had absolutely reached the centre of the mountain.

The darkness lasted for a long time, and suddenly a white light lit up in front of him, which made Henry very uncomfortable. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The driver was well prepared. He drove the car toward the light.

Uriah was sitting next to Henry, took a deep breath and said, "Brother Zhang, welcome to... Tang family citadel!"

The car stopped. Facing the light, Henry saw a village completely built inside the mountain. The top of the mountain was not sealed, and the sun shone down along some of the gorges.

The village in front of them was built of wood and stone. The clothes worn by these people seemed to be incompatible with the outside world. They were all old-fashioned clothes. The houses were also built on the mountain walls. It was quaint. If some traditional clothes lover came here, they would definitely be ecstatic.

Henry went out of the car. Uriah and his sister also got out of the vehicle one after another.

At the moment when he saw Uriah, a man whistled hard on the opposite side of the mountain wall. The whistle was hovering in the valley. The people in the valley all looked at Uriah at the same time and finally focused on Henry.

Three ropes were thrown to Henry's feet. The rope hung on the mountain wall. If Henry wanted to completely enter the valley, he had to rely on the rope to slide down. This was also a threshold in the clan. Without any strength, it was impossible for someone to step into the clan's village.

Henry looked at the platform where he was standing. It was more than 20 meters above the ground. Ordinary people would tremble just by looking at their feet.

"Brother Zhang, let's go." Uriah smiled, pulled up the rope, jumped and slid down.

Teresa also pulled up a rope, and her body was as light as a wild goose.

Henry glanced around. In the valley, he felt a sense of crisis. This was Henry's instinct he got during all those life and death battles. Henry was sure that there must be a lot of traps hidden in the seemingly ordinary mountain walls around him.

Henry didn't take the rope at all. He walked to the edge of the platform and jumped down directly.
