The Wind Hidden Continent is one of the four main continents in the world, and it is the second largest land in the world in terms of area. Moreover, the location of Fengyin is in the south of the world, and the territory is endless, so when the first rays of morning light emerge from the easternmost part of the Fengyin Continent, it is still midnight in the westernmost part. It can be described as vast and boundless.

On this continent, there are a total of eleven large and small countries, each with its own side and dividing the world. Although there are occasional small frictions between countries, large-scale wars have not been fought for many years, and I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult to complete the unification of the world.

This is also related to another characteristic of this continent, that is, it is not the monarchs of these countries who really hold the ruling power in the Fengyin Continent, but the clans.

There are always many gate valve families on this continent, they have been inherited for thousands of years, the heritage is profound, there are many customers, the strength of light and darkness is unimaginable, like a big tree deeply rooted in this soil, it is difficult to shake, and among them, the five major clans of Wei, Jin, Pu, Qi and Akita are the most.

These clans may have been the nobles of a powerful empire hundreds of years ago, or they may have been descendants of a certain line of royalty, or they may have been once rich and powerful merchants. With such a deep foundation, even if it is decades later, it will definitely not be a problem, but if you want to inherit it for a longer time, this is far from enough, there are two important points.

The first is the excellent family tradition, and more importantly, the family style, family education and family concept. In history, the ancestors started from scratch, threw their heads and spilled their blood to start a business, and the younger generations sat back and enjoyed the success, not knowing how to operate and maintain, resulting in countless examples of family ruin being eaten away by other forces or overthrown by the people, and the decline and fall of various dynasties are basically such a law. It is said that history is a mirror, but even if such examples are common, there are still stupid successors who embark on the road of self-destruction.

Therefore, the education of younger generations and the maintenance of family style are very important for a big family. It is even said that a certain clan even has a staggering rule, they have a secret worship elder in each generation, this elder must be absolutely loyal to the family and very powerful, the meaning of this person's existence is to be when a certain family is mediocre, it will be... Kill and replace. It is equivalent to bringing a Shang Fang sword that beheads the king and beheads the traitorous minister.

In addition to this first point, another point is also crucial, that is, there must be peerless powerhouses in the family, and they must be immediate family members, and they cannot be just one or two.

After all, in this world where strength is respected, even if you are rich and rival the country, even if you are in power, maybe you will have no bones and scum if you slap the face, and no matter how good your family style is, it is useless. There are definitely powerful masters of their own clan in every family, plus some foreign powerhouses who are attached to the family, and they are cultivating potential juniors all the time.

So it's not hard to imagine how powerful such a family would be if it lasted for hundreds of years, and it was really hard to shake. In fact, they have the ability to replace the Empire, but for some reason, they just don't.

The network of these families has long penetrated into the court, and among the major sects, they grasp everything around them like eyes and ears and minions.

However, there are some exceptions, such as... Nanyan Wuzong.

Why?

Because the geographical location is too remote, and it depends on the strength of their sect... Insufficient qualifications.

Nanyan Wuzong is one of the best in this southern Xinjiang, but it is far away from the political and economic center and has a small population, so the Akita family, which dominates the south, has never sent anyone here.

Until this day, the situation changed, and the Akita family sent a group of disciples to the Southern Yan Martial Sect.

The significance of this group of disciples is, on the one hand, to come to Nanyan Martial Sect to study, but if they are sent to this kind of second-rate sect, there will basically be no descendants or truly talented people. On the other hand, these people can also be said to be here to spy on the Nanyan Martial Sect, maybe the word surveillance is a little more ugly, they are mainly to get some information unique to their sect from the Southern Yan Martial Sect, but if the Southern Yan Martial Sect has any threats to the Akita family, they will naturally not politely report it to the clan.

But instead of being angry, the people of the Southern Yan Martial Sect were extremely happy.

It can be said that a huge family like Akita can send a group of clansmen, which is to give you the face of the sect.

In addition to face, it is the support of funds and other parties, which is naturally what Nanyan Wuzong wants.

The sect master of the Southern Yan Martial Sect eagerly came forward in person and took the elders with the heads and faces of the sect to greet the delegation of the Akita family.

After some negotiations, the Akita family left ten young clansmen here, as well as a considerable gift. Then the head of the Akita family prepared to leave.

But before leaving, he turned his head to look at the Sect Master of the Nanyan Martial Sect and said in a low voice: "Among these ten people, the oldest boy is called Akita Qi, this person's mother is no longer alive, and he doesn't know much about the situation of the sect, so... In the future, we won't take it back to the clan, so I bother the sect master to take care of this child a little. Of course, it is enough to ensure that he will not starve to death. ”

The sect master of the Nanyan Martial Sect nodded in response, and then thought about the meaning of these words for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the child's mother may be a concubine with no identity, and even the child may be the illegitimate son of someone in the clan, so although this Akita Banner is considered the bloodline of the Akita family, there is no need to cultivate, and it is even regarded as a burden, so it is simply thrown to the Nanyan Martial Sect, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was kicked out of the house. Treat this child, and you don't have to be as attentive to other Akita disciples as you are to them.

Just like Master Akita said, just don't starve to death.

Although it is a little ruthless, it is not strange for such a thing to occur among powerful clans, and it is already merciful not to let him fend for himself.

The sect master took note of this, and then held an apprenticeship ceremony, mainly for the ten Akita clansmen, but also for the other thirty or so ordinary children who came to apprentice.

Akita's nine children were all accepted as disciples by the sect master himself, while Akita Banner was accepted by a mediocre Seventh Elder.

Because Akita is the oldest, he is the eldest brother.

During the days of Nanyan Martial Sect's cultivation, several other children of the Akita family could return to the sect every three months, but Akita Banner stayed in the sect all the time.

The people in the door often saw him sitting at the foot of the mountain with his knees crossed.

Maybe he wants to go home too, but... But he had no home.

Akita's surname was still in awe of other disciples of the same generation at first, but soon everyone also understood that this person no longer had any status in the Akita family, and this well-known surname became a laughing stock.

And Akita Qi is usually quiet and easy-going, and he is often bullied by other disciples. But fortunately, the rules of the Nanyan Martial Sect are not bad, and the education of the disciples also pays attention to morality, and when everyone is older and mature, no one deliberately goes to find the stubble of the Akita Banner, after all, he is a good man, who will not get along with him.

The only one who often beats and scolds Akita Banner is his master, because Akita Banner's talent for martial arts cultivation is really not high, but in the eyes of his master, it also has the value of cultivation. But after this kid finally cultivated to the upper realm of the earth in three years, because he read some books on telekinesis in the Zongmen Library, he suddenly learned to read by himself, which made the master angry.

Come to a martial arts sect to teach yourself how to read the arts? Have a hole in your brain, you? Or do you think that my Nanyan Martial Sect's martial arts techniques are not worth learning from you? Can you really do whatever you want to be Akita's baby?

The Seven Elders criticized Akita Banner for education and corporal punishment, but Akita Banner often secretly looked at books on telekinesis.

So during this time, everyone couldn't see the figure of Akita Qi sitting in front of the mountain gate with his knees crossed, because he went to the precept hall and knelt instead.

After half a year like this, Akita Banner finally put down the books on telekinesis, and then copied the only two books on formation in the sect...

The Seventh Elder was so angry that he almost expelled him from the sect.

Fortunately, Akita Banner is not so competitive, and he still focuses on cultivating the martial arts of the Southern Yan Martial Sect, but he has always insisted on self-study in books on chanting and formations. Under the persuasion of the sect master, the seven elders simply didn't bother to pay attention to it.

On this day, it was already the seventh year that Akita Qi came to Nanyan Wuzong, and according to the door rules, tomorrow he would lead his younger brothers and sisters down the mountain to experience ten years of training.

It stands to reason that this kind of activity should be secretly escorted by the elders, but because the other nine Akita teenagers also went down the mountain to practice at the same time, the sect master ordered the three elders to follow, and it was necessary to ensure that the Akita family teenagers were thorough.

The Seventh Elder went to escort those young masters of the family, and as for his disciples, he left a perfunctory sentence, "Be careful." ”

As a senior brother, Akita Qi carefully packed the package the afternoon before, and went to check it for the younger brothers and sisters, so he was relieved.

At dusk, Akita sat at the gate of the mountain, bathed in the orange sunset, looking at the sky in a daze.

"What's the matter, big brother? Are you nervous about tomorrow's experience? A girl with freckles on her face but a very quiet appearance sat next to him, this is his little sister.

Akita Qi smiled at her, then refocused his gaze on the sunset and said, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about something." ”

"I'm so nervous, I'm going to go out and practice for ten years, and if I don't get anything back, I'll be punished." The little junior sister pursed her lips, then moved closer and said, "Senior brother, are you pretending?" It's going to be experienced, how can you not be nervous. ”

Akita smiled and said softly, "We're all adults, wouldn't it be nice to go out for a walk." ”

"That's right, senior brother, you've been staying in the sect for the past seven years, and you haven't..." Speaking of this, the little junior sister realized that her words would poke the pain of Akita Qi, and immediately stopped her mouth, and then changed the topic: "Then what were you thinking just now?" ”

Akita Qi's face was normal, but there was a bit of melancholy in his eyes, and he said: "It's similar to what you said, but the past seven years have passed, and I'm just thinking about where I should go in the future." ”

"You..."The little junior sister naturally knew about the Akita Banner and the Akita family, and the Akita family never paid attention to him after he was thrown in the sect, nor did he let him return to the clan, and even the nine teenagers who came with him never ignored or even hated the Akita Flag.

Akita Qi's eyes reflected the color of the remnant sun, and after a while, he muttered, "Is my real surname Akita?" ”

The little junior sister was stunned: "Huh? ”

"Do you think I shouldn't have been born in such a noble family?" Akita Qi sighed lightly, with a distressing wry smile on his face, he didn't want his junior sister to answer his question, but continued to say softly: "I might as well be a nameless Jiang Liu'er." ”

The junior sister couldn't think of any good words of comfort for a while, so she had to say: "The world is so big, there must be a place for the senior brother." ”

"But my talent is not very good, and my cultivation of martial arts or studying the formation is not satisfactory, and I am only a mediocre one." Akita Banner suddenly let out a long sigh, stood up and said, "I, ah, should die with a certain evil scoundrel and fall into hell together, not only to contribute to the world, but also not to insult the majesty of the family." ”

Akita Banner ignored the stunned junior sister, but opened his arms, closed his eyes, and muttered, "Maybe only in this way can I make the people of the Akita family remember me, and at the same time... Remember my mother too."

The last corner of the sunset slowly sank, pulling the young man's figure to the old age.

The remnant sun is like blood, and the youth is like a song.
