"A hundred-year-old tribe, a thousand-year-old family."

This is the first sentence that Mohuan learned in the clan school, and it is also the first lesson that Xuezong gave to each generation of Mojia children, and this sentence has been firmly engraved in Mohuan's heart since he became literate.

Under the sky lantern, even the most powerful and prosperous tribe only has a lifespan of a hundred years, and even the Tianhuan tribe, which founded the rune civilization, only existed for more than a hundred years, and then suddenly disappeared at its peak.

Due to the difference in philosophy, the Tianhuan tribe was divided into nearly 100 tribes or families, all of which without exception dissolved or disappeared within a hundred years, while the family wandered between the various tribes, never becoming the center of the world, nor withdrawing from the world stage.

Throughout history, since the Tianhuan tribe, there has never been a long-lived tribe that has stepped over the hundred-year limit.

Everything in the world dies, and so does the tribe, and so does the family. It's just that the lifespan of the tribe is often within a hundred years, and in this complex world, the vitality of the family is more vigorous, so people always put "a hundred years of tribes, a thousand years of family" on their lips, over time, this sentence seems to become the law of the world, with a mysterious power beyond runes, so that all tribes and families abide by its boundaries.

But one of the three great masters of the Mo family, Master Xuezong, gave another interpretation of this sentence.

"It is not correct to measure tribes by the principle of longevity. It is true that the tribes only exist for a hundred years, but after a hundred years, some tribes have not died, but have continued to exist in a different form. Some tribes have been transformed into families, while others have merged into other tribes in the collision of power and ideas, becoming the flesh and blood of the new tribes.

Therefore, it is not that the life span of the tribe is only a hundred years, but the form of the tribe should only last for a hundred years, and in this hundred springs, autumns, winters and summers, every member of the tribe will think, will change, and finally gather sand into a tower, which leads to the transformation of the entire tribe. When this transformation manifests itself in internal unity, the tribe is transformed into a family; When this transformation manifests itself in the desire for possession, wars arise between tribes, and the weak merge into the strong, or are eliminated; When this shift manifests itself in a divergence of ideas, the tribes split into new clans or families.

In the same way, it is not that the lifespan of a family is only a thousand years, but that the transformation cycle required by a family clan is much longer than that of a clan. Looking back at the history of the rise and fall of thousands of tribes and families, those who refuse to change will surely decay with the antiquities, and only by accepting changes and daring to think about changes can they survive forever. ”

This is the explanation of Master Xuezong, his views are not recognized by the other two great masters of the Mo family, and not many children of the Mo family understand, but it has a huge impact on the ink ring in his childhood.

At that time, Mo Huan thought to himself: If Master Xuezong is right, then even the top great families will only have a thousand years to seek change, and the Mo family, which has a history of thousands of years, is still the same Mo family.

Yes, the Mo family is still the same Mo family, still prominent and powerful, still standing at the top of the Rune Avenue, and still a behemoth that the world needs to look up to.

Therefore, none of the children of the Mo family took the words of Master Xuezong seriously, and no children of the Mo family would "seek change", and everyone only thought about how to go further on the Rune Dao.

The same is true of the ink ring, as he grew older, the worries of his childhood no longer existed, he devoted himself to studying runes, and for five years, he finally became the youngest young master of the Mo family in a thousand years at the age of twelve.

When the Mo ring became the grandmaster, the Mo family celebrated, three days and three nights of singing and drinking, all the children of the Mo family were proud of the birth of a unique genius in the Mo family, people used the most cheerful way to express the joy in their hearts, every face was full of smiles, except for the master of the sect.

At the ceremony where the three great masters of Mozong, Xuezong and Fuzong conferred talismans on Mohuan, Mohuan saw that the face of Master Xuezong was clouded, and he told Mohuan: Stop your own footsteps, first study the inheritance of the Mohist family, inherit the wisdom of the ancestors for your own use, and be able to open up the road under your feet.

Mohuan saw a deep sense of worry and fear in the eyes of Master Xuezong, but Mohuan still didn't care at that time.

As the next Mozong in the clan, Mohuan followed the advice of the Xuezong and began to delve into the precious inheritance accumulated by the Mohists over the millennium.

The process of learning is a kind of enjoyment for the ink ring, after entering the Mo family Fu Pavilion, the ink ring will be used as the rune scripture as the quilt, and the rune will be used as the pillow, unless the Mo Sect and the Fu Sect are called, otherwise they will never step out of the Fu Pavilion half a step.

Six years passed in a flash, and it was not until the war burned to the Mo family that Mo Zong stepped out of the Fu Pavilion, and he knew about the drastic changes that had taken place in the past six years.

The dispute between the two factions of "Hun Tian Theory" and "Gai Tian Theory" lasted for 60 years, and finally led to a bloody case not long after Mo Huan entered the cabinet. Immediately, a shocking battle between clan families began.

However, what none of the Maisons expected was that in the chaos that swept across the continent, a strange and cruel force was rapidly expanding in a way that had never been seen before.

The Ming family, an inconspicuous second-rate family, also had a young grandmaster twenty years ago, which attracted the attention of major families. After rejecting the olive branches thrown by the major families, the teenager lost his sight due to an "accident".

Everyone knows that the so-called "accident" is not an accident, because "the blindness of the genius of the Ming family" not only means the fall of the young grandmaster, but also symbolizes a metaphor with sinister intentions.

But compared with the real great family, the Ming family is just an ant that can be crushed to death, so the Ming family can only swallow their anger and keep their eyes on it, and the young grandmaster who once had supreme glory disappeared.

Twenty years ago, an old incident planted the seeds of discontent and hatred in the hearts of many people, and no one noticed how it took root, until it reappeared twenty years later, and the great families found that it had grown into an unshakable supertree.

When the family was in turmoil over the concept of "Hun Tian Theory" and "Gai Tian Theory", the genius who had fallen and was close to middle age took the Ming family to absorb nourishment from the war and rose silently, annexing twenty-six tribes in just one year.

But the genius of the Ming family did not use the people of the twenty-six tribes to prosper the Ming family, on the contrary, he personally ended the life of the Ming family as a family, he suppressed the opposition with strong means, and forcibly combined the Ming family with the twenty-six tribes to form a super large tribe, and he also gave this tribe a strange name: Da Ming.

The composition of the Ming Dynasty was peculiar, unlike the clan of the family and unlike any of the tribes, and its founders gave it a strange name: the state.

In the Ming Dynasty, everyone has a family, not a family, but a small number of people with close blood relations to form a "small family", and thousands of small families to form a "everyone", that is, "country".

The state abandons all the rules of the family and clan - in the words of the Ming Dynasty, it is called stereotypes and bad habits - and provides protection and necessary alms to every small family recognized by the state, and every member of each small family must make a return for the state, and the return made by each small family will be clearly recorded, and when the small family is in trouble, the state will give back and help according to the contribution of the small family.

More importantly, in the country, bloodline is no longer the standard for measuring personal value, all obstacles that exist because of bloodline are removed, but those who contribute to the country can have a higher status, a better life, no matter whether the bloodline is noble or low, can get out of the predicament with hard work.

In three years, I don't know how many tribes were conquered and then became part of this "country", and countless children of the family risked being hunted down by their own family, and fled to the family and fled to the Ming Dynasty.

As long as they enter the border of the Ming Dynasty, they are protected by the state, and even the top families cannot defeat the army that the Ming has trained in the long war and is dedicated to war - except for the nascent Ming Dynasty, no family or tribe has thought of or has the ability to support a large army dedicated to warfare.

There were more and more people who fled, and after discovering that the situation was not good, the major families finally ceased fighting, and each sent the dead to Daming, but the dead soldiers who could find out the news were often rebelled or easily identified.

The dead soldiers who were rebelled by the Ming Dynasty stayed in the Ming Dynasty and became the citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and the dead soldiers who were recognized were sent back to the family and brought back the news: the Ming Dynasty had no intention of fighting with the family, and only wanted to let many backward and ignorant tribes become part of the Ming Dynasty, and concentrate the power of the tribe to open up the territory and create a more livable environment for the people.

What a lie that doesn't stand up to scrutiny, but there are still people who want to believe it.

The peace lasted only two years, and the increasingly powerful and greedy Ming extended his plundering hand to the family.

It is common for the high-ranking families to think that the so-called state is nothing more than a larger tribe, and that the Ming is just a powerful tribe that is overpowering other tribes and gaining benefits.

However, this is not the case, and every tribe conquered by the Ming Dynasty became a part of the Ming Dynasty, as the Mohist scholars said, and in another way they were reborn and continued to exist.

And these continuing tribes all have one thing in common: greed.

The most advocated contribution of the Ming Dynasty is to establish meritorious service, so the Ming Dynasty can have a group of troops who are not afraid of death, so the Ming Dynasty can last for six years and the war never stops, so when the tribe can no longer satisfy the appetite of the Ming Dynasty, the greedy eyes are on the family.

Six years after the start of the "Battle of Hungai", the Ming Dynasty officially established the state, and its founders held a ceremony called "enthronement", proclaiming themselves "emperors" and ruling the world.

Until that day, the world knew that the Ming Emperor who walked to the throne with thousands of corpses and bones was the blind young genius more than 20 years ago.

In the same year, the Ming Dynasty declared that the entire continent was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and all affairs within the territory were governed by the Ming Emperor and his courtiers, and those "kings" who were divided into various places because of their military exploits were under the jurisdiction of the affairs within the feudal territory.

The family is also in the border, but no one comes to manage the family, just when the major families think that the family can live in peace with the country, just like the family can live in peace with the tribe, Emperor Ming decreed that within the border, all the people must respect the theory of Gaitian and abandon the theory of Hun Tian.

The war has begun again.

The family, which has not changed for thousands of years, has suffered this great change, and it is actually a trend that the building is about to collapse.

In the bloody storm, there is one person who turns the tide.

The Mohist scholars not only persuaded the major families led by the Mo family to unite in favor of the Hun Tian Theory, but also persuaded other families who supported the Gai Tian Theory not to act rashly.

Taking advantage of this respite, the Mojia Xuezong secretly lobbied the "King of Qin", "King Liang", "King of Zhou" and "King Wu" in various places, telling them: Emperor Ming's idea of "seeking change" has always been to expand externally and tighten internally, and the division of the territory is just for you to manage on your behalf, and digest the fruits of the war as quickly as possible. Because Emperor Ming's ambitions are by no means limited to the Middle Earth, when the family overturns, Emperor Ming naturally wants to reclaim power and move towards the road of centralization, otherwise why "collect the silver of the world to cast the heavenly ring"? This is nothing more than a means of controlling weapons.

After gaining the approval of the major families and princes, in order to confront the Ming Emperor, the Mohist Xuezong proposed a "change" that he had been thinking about for many years: the alliance between the family, the princes, the tribe and even the individual will last forever.

This may or may not be a feasible path, no one knows the outcome, because everyone underestimated the courage of Emperor Ming.

On the second day after the Mojia Xuezong returned to the clan, Emperor Ming led the army to conquer the Mojia family.

It was a battle, the Mo family was isolated, the three great masters were killed in battle, and the thousand-year-old family was destroyed.

Mo Huan succeeded him in danger, and with the fire of the Mo family, he escaped from the secret passage that Master Xuezong had prepared for many years, but the world was so big that there was no place for him, and other families were too busy to take care of themselves, and it was impossible for him to lend a helping hand to Mo Huan.

On the day of the Mo family, Emperor Ming said a word to all the families: "The era of a hundred schools of thought is over, from now on, if I don't speak, which insect dares to make a sound?" ”

This is all that Mohuan knows, and as for what will happen to the family and the princes after that, it has nothing to do with him, because now he is saying goodbye to this world.

The moment he passed through the crack, Mo Huan wanted to turn back, but he didn't dare to look back, he thought to himself, if I could have a deeper understanding of the laws of change in people's hearts and the world like Master Xuezong, maybe the Mo family would not have come to this point.

But all this is empty talk, Emperor Ming has written down the ending of the Mo family, at least in the world favored by runes, the Mo family has become history.

The silver carriage frame passed through the doorway to the other world, and the ink ring tensed his face in the irritating cry, and looked around at the bizarre world in front of him, and everywhere he looked, there were things that the ink ring could not understand, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn his expression became.

The surrounding monsters are not enough to worry about, what really shocks Mo Huan is the towering buildings in this world, even the Fu Pavilion that the Mo family has continuously built in the past thousand years, it is nothing more than that, and such buildings abound, at a glance, there are countless of them.

What the hell is this...... What kind of place is it?

Mohuan looked at the tall building infatuatedly, but saw a phantom sweep through the air, and came to him in an instant.

Twenty-eight silver mirrors had already flown out of the wide sleeves of the robe, blocking the ink ring in front of him.

The figure stopped in front of the silver mirror, and the person who came was dressed in white, stepping on a flying sword, and his face was full of shock.

Mohuan was equally shocked when he saw his face clearly.

Among the twenty-eight silver mirrors, twenty-eight faces are identical to the ink ring.
