135 Back to the roots

Jiang Ning had a miserable childhood, and became famous at a young age, and cultivated against the sky.

Even under Long Ye's careful teaching, his personality still became very extreme.

He has always been strong externally and does not give face to any force.

As long as he provokes him, he will be beaten and killed at every turn, and his cultivation will be abolished at the very least.

Internally, I do my own thing, look down on this today, laugh at that tomorrow, and ignore the rules as nothing.

In the face of his strong cultivation and his disciple of Qin Chuan, many junior brothers and sisters could only secretly endure the injustice and began to deviate from the teacher.

The elders of Qinglei Zhai have persuaded Long Ye many times, saying that Jiang Ning is a good fighter, but he will never be a good leader.

Long Ye is not blind, Jiang Ning's actions made him feel that it was time to discipline him strictly.

He tried to preach to Jiang Ning many times, but where would Jiang Ning listen?

Jiang Ning felt that as long as he had a big fist, he could speak and do things as he wanted.

So after the failure of Long Ye's preaching, he wanted to restrict Jiang Ning's actions, prevent Jiang Ning from going out and make trouble, and at the same time let him cultivate himself in the sect at the same time.

Long Ye still has expectations for Jiang Ning, hoping to cultivate Jiang Ning into what a head should be.

But Longye's approach didn't work.

The repeated discipline behaviors were regarded by Jiang Ning as a means for Long Ye to control him.

Instead, there was a gap between him and Long Ye.

After many conflicts with Long Ye, he borrowed wine every day to drown his sorrows, and he was very depressed.

He felt that a person like himself who was so outstanding was jealous and ostracized by others that he would end up like this.

At the same time, the Demon Gate took advantage of the void to enter.

They have all kinds of beauties, and they must be pure and pure, charming and charming.

Even if they want contrast, they don't lack it at all.

Under the seduction of the beauty of the Demon Gate, the emptiness in Jiang Ning's heart was quickly satisfied, and he fell into it.

Under the introduction of the beauties who did not reveal their identities, Jiang Ning got to know more people from the Demon Gate.

At first, he also wanted to fight and kill these demon people.

But soon, he found out that these so-called people from the Demon Gate were all people with true temperaments, completely different from those decent hypocrites outside.

So he prefers to be with the people of the Demon Gate.

Jiang Ning, who thinks highly of himself, is full of weaknesses in the eyes of the Demon Gate.

Under the deliberate framing of the Demon Gate, he quickly grabbed some of Jiang Ning's handles that could ruin him and made him make a choice.

On the one hand, she is her own master, and on the other hand, she is a woman and friend who is very good to herself, but she just needs to help do something by herself.

He quickly made a decision and chose to turn his back on his master.

Because in his opinion, he is so talented that he can stand out anywhere.

What Master has given is just a chance, but this kind of opportunity is everywhere.

I need to be grateful, but I don't have to be grateful.

All this you have is the result of your own efforts!

As a result, Jiang Ning has since become the highest-ranking spy in the Demon Gate.

Qinglei Zhai has become the biggest parasite for the Demon Gate.

In the end, after the incident broke out, Long Ye had to kill Jiang Ning with his own hands.

and led the conservative elders to kill most of Qingleizhai's disciples.

The people who are hidden in Qingleizhai are not all stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

Although Long Ye killed the two Demon Gate Yuan Babies and scared the rest away, Long Ye was also seriously injured as a result.

After he passed the position of head of the sect to the most conservative elder Han Qu, he imprisoned himself in the sect's forbidden place, the Broken Bone Cliff.

Because of Qingleizhai's enlightened actions, the sect was so turbulent.

Fortunately, in the end, Han Qu became Yuanying at the time of crisis and kept the position of the three major forces of Wuguo.

But the disciples have become unacceptable.

After that, Long Ye spent every day in pain and remorse.

Hate yourself for pretending to be smart.

What you can think of, isn't it possible that none of those predecessors can think of it in tens of thousands of years?

So why didn't the seniors do it?

It's not because there have been many times in history that they don't dare to open this hole.

But it was because of his pride and complacency that the problems of his ancestors would not happen to him, that Qingleizhai's many years of great cause were almost buried.

At this time, he finally realized that the rapid development of the sect was very important, but it was equally important to take every step well.

Any Tianjiao is not necessarily trustworthy.

Because these people have an advantage in terms of talent or comprehension, they have always been far ahead in the later cultivation process.

Mindsets are often prone to unforeseen shifts.

Although there is a problem with this partial generalization, be careful to make a ship of ten thousand years.

Time is the best detection tool.

It can not only sharpen the minds of the disciples, but also slowly cultivate the disciples' identification with the sect in their daily practice and life.

Slow development is slow, but if the picture is fast, the foundation will not be solid, and the foundation will not be firmly shaken.

As a result, Qinglei Zhai, which used to be the most open, has now become the most conservative sect.

It can be described as a reversal of the poles.

But such a school has a certain foundation and sufficient room for development.

After the Zerg smart people discovered it, they started the layout as soon as possible.

Seven months later, the Zerg people finally came to a village hidden deep in the mountains.

There are nearly 3,000 people here, more than many small towns, but it is strange that it is abruptly far away from people.

A few children playing at the entrance of the village looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of them, and ran away screaming all the way.

The children's voices immediately attracted the attention of many villagers.

Many men and women, armed with pitchforks, tongs, kitchen knives and other weapons, surrounded them.

But they didn't do it directly, so they surrounded Luo Mingye and the others in the middle.

Not long after, the crowd moved out of the way, and an old man walked over tremblingly.

"Who are you?"

The old man, who was the village head, stood in front of Luo Mingye.

He looked at the group of people in front of him.

Although these men carried weapons at their waists, their swords were unsheathed in the face of the villagers' encirclement.

The clothes on his body are extremely gorgeous, and he looks like a group of people who are living a very good life.

Why do people like this come to their village?

Hearing the village chief's inquiry, Luo Mingye, who was dressed as a wealthy businessman, said with a smile:

"In Hahanjin, he is currently a businessman, and he has a slight income.

My grandfather's last wish before he passed away was to return his ashes to his ancestral land, so I found out all the way here. ”

The old man looked Luo Mingye up and down, and said suspiciously: "You are also surnamed Han?" ”

Luo Mingye nodded: "Our ancestors are all surnamed Han, I heard that they were separated from a big family, and it was said that the ancestors had immortals, but they encountered accidents in the later period, so they were separated from the family." ”

"That's right." The village chief muttered casually, but did not speak.

Seeing this, a person dressed as a guard next to him handed a box to Luo Mingye.

After Luo Mingye took it, he didn't hide it, he directly opened the box and handed it to the village chief in front of him.

"This is 200 taels of silver, can I wait for a visit to the village?"

Seeing the silver, the village chief's eyes immediately lit up.

He took the silver with a sloppy movement, and did not look at all like a man on the verge of death.

"Yes, yes! I'll show you around! ”

Others could just come up with so much silver and buy the life of their entire village.

There is nothing special in their village, so what is there to hide?

So, the village chief took Luo Mingye to visit the entire village.

Under the opening of money, the village chief explained the history of the entire village to Luo Mingye very frankly.

Their ancestor is now the head of Qinglei Zhai, Han Qu.

Among the descendants of the Han family, there have been many monks before, and they still have some say in Qinglei Zhai.

But the younger disciples are not very competitive, and from Han Qu downwards, none of them have succeeded in building a foundation.

On the contrary, because there is an ancestor Han Qu covering it, the descendants are all jumping off.

In the name of Korean opera, he did a lot of immoral things, and offended many scattered cultivation families around him.

Later, on a dark and windy night, the Han family was besieged by many families.

Fortunately, there are the formations left by Han Qu to resist one or two, so that they will not be lost overnight.

Although Han Qu still kept them, it was only a four-layer Han Qu at that time, and it also paid a lot of price for it.

After sending these people here, they were given a batch of supplies, and Han Qu announced that he would cut off relations with them.

They were also afraid of reprisals if they went out, and they stayed here for nearly 400 years.

After many years of hardship, let alone cultivating immortals now, even life is very hard.

Luo Mingye followed the village chief and came to the door of the ancestral hall.

The village chief took out a bunch of keys from his arms.

With the most quaint of them, the lock on the gate was opened.

"Squeak."

The heavy ancestral hall was slowly pushed away.

Under the sun, the shrine was full of traces of dust floating.

The entire ancestral hall looks gray, and there are some miscellaneous items that have been left behind for an unknown amount of time, and it seems that they have not been cleaned for a long time.

Commenting on the scene, the village chief explained:

"Now the life of the families in the village is not very good, so there has been no large-scale ancestor worship activities for a long time.

In some festivals, each family can worship their elders at home. ”

Regarding the village chief's statement, Luo Mingye nodded, and then moved his gaze to the tablets in the ancestral hall.

The dense tablets are stacked on top of each other, and there are eighteen layers.

Above the tablet, there are also portraits of many outstanding celebrities.

There are literati, there are officials, there are monks.

The most famous one, of course, is the portrait of Hanqu.

His portrait is obviously larger and newer than the others, and it can be seen that it has been maintained by someone for a long time.

It was only later that the maintenance work was finally stopped for some reasons that everyone understands.

The incense burner placed in front of it has been covered with a layer of patina on the outside, and the incense ash inside has long been completely buried by dust.

At this moment, the village chief stepped forward and lifted the red cloth covering the altar, revealing a box.

The village chief frowned and fanned the stirred dust with his hand.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

He looked at Luo Mingye, pointed to the box and said, "What is contained here is all the genealogies of the Han family, you can look through them." ”

Two guards on the side opened the box.

The genealogy of these pages, which had long been yellowed, appeared in front of Luo Mingye's eyes.

Luo Mingye took a general look, the upper layer of genealogy, many of them were full of gaps, and I don't know what the lower ones have been bitten by insects.

The other Zerg people immediately stepped forward to look at it.

Luo Mingye talked with the village chief.

"I didn't expect the Han family to be so broken."

Hearing Luo Mingye's sigh, the village chief was also a little stunned.

"Who's to say it isn't? It's also to blame us, the descendants, for not being angry, and living like this."

The two began to talk, and the village chief's attention from staring at the Zerg was distracted.

The Zerg were holding a book of genealogies, as if searching for the names of certain people.

In fact, in their minds, they are constantly reciting words.

"Han Jiesheng has two sons, Han Jian and Han Ren."

"Han Zhengsheng has four sons, Han Han, Han Snail, Han Ji, Han Ji, Han Zhen"

In the brood, there are many people who help to record it.

It didn't take long for seven or eight of these genealogies to be recorded.

The Zerg people are not greedy for more and more, after all, they are not here to copy the family tree, and it is useless to record too many names.

You only need to find out which Han family members were missing during that turbulent time period, and then record the names of each Han family of these people.

"Master, I've found it!"

A guard held a genealogy and shouted at Luo Mingye excitedly.

When Luo Mingye heard this, he immediately hurried over and took over the genealogy with a solemn face.

He followed the guard's point and saw the name called Han Shin.

Luo Mingye was a little excited: "It seems that my ancestor is probably really separated from here." ”

But he didn't blindly make a judgment, and pulled the village chief to start checking the situation of this person.

"Village chief, is there an old man in the village who still remembers this person's appearance?"

The village chief stood aside, looking at Luo Mingye with an excited face, and he was full of emotions.

How do you think I can remember more than 400 years ago?

He groaned, as if he had thought of something.

So he asked, "I don't know what your ancestor looks like?" ”

Luo Mingye said directly:

"When my ancestor was young, he had a smooth and fair face, with sharp edges and corners, and a pair of dark eyes, glowing with charming color."

Listening to Luo Mingye's unclear description, the village chief clapped his palms and exclaimed:

"Oh, really! At that time, people on our side looked like this. ”

But he didn't directly say that he remembered it.

It's been 400 years, can he remember a ball? He's only in his fifties.

So he said reassuringly, "Wait a minute, I'll go and ask the other old people in the village." ”

With that, he walked out of the ancestral hall.

A guard wanted to follow, but was stopped by Luo Mingye.

The guard looked at Luo Mingye in puzzlement, only to see Luo Mingye shaking his head at him.

A sentence came to him in his head: "Let's watch him perform!" ”

The village chief took a few steps and looked back.

When I found that no one was following behind, I was immediately relieved.

"Oh, it's a good day, it's really rare!"

He sighed, and went home with the money.

He handed the silver in his hand to his son, sat down in his chair again, and began to drink tea slowly.

He took a sip of the cup of tea, but he didn't swallow it.

The coarse tea, which he had long been accustomed to, spun out with disgust on his face after spinning in his mouth.

The daughter-in-law came over in a panic: "Father-in-law, but is there something wrong with this tea?" ”

The village chief waved his hand and said, "It's nothing!" ”

He looked at his daughter-in-law, who married into his own family and had been in charge of the family for nearly thirty years.

is dressed in coarse cloth, and there are a few patches on it, but the stitches are very dense, and it can be seen that the daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is good.

The patches are only on her, not on the men in the family.

So the village chief kicked his son and commanded:

"Hurry up and wait for Ming'er, take your daughter-in-law to the town and buy her some gold and silver jewelry."

"Oh." The son is a good hand at doing things, but he seems a little wooden.

Although I saw that there was so much silver in the account, how could the daughter-in-law who was used to thrift be extravagant and wasteful?

She hurriedly refused: "My father-in-law doesn't need it, what gold and silver jewelry do I still bring when I'm old, keep it for the child to hire a teacher." ”

The village chief frowned and said:

"If you want it, you want it, in the past, the family had this condition, and there was no way to take you to be poor.

Now that it's about to be developed, why not enjoy it?

You don't have to worry about Mr. Teaching, I have my own arrangements! ”

As he spoke, he counted the time and found that it was almost time, so he stood up.

"Just do as I say! I still have something to do, so let's go first! ”

After a while, the village chief returned to the ancestral hall with a smile.

found that Luo Mingye and the others were still waiting for themselves quietly here.

He apologized: "I'm really sorry, the old people in the village are a little old, and they are a little slow to speak and do things." ”

Luo Mingye smiled and said, "It's not tight, how is the situation?" ”

The village chief spoke: "I asked several old people who still had impressions of those things, and found that their memories of your family's ancestor appearance are surprisingly consistent, it seems that you are indeed from my Han family." ”

Hearing the village chief's affirmation, Luo Mingye was a little excited.

He grabbed the village chief's hand: "The Han family, who are wandering away, has finally found a place where the fallen leaves return to their roots!" ”
