Thirty-six pearls, shining in the sand sea; Danding is bright, looking at the real dragon.

This nursery rhyme-like mantra has been sung by all Danzhou people since childhood, and it is widely circulated and known to everyone.

This is their pride as Danzhou people, and it is also the admiration and yearning for 'Danding City'.

This is the birthplace of countless heroes and legends for thousands of years, and it also carries the moving deeds of many ancestors who fought bloodily and wept.

In the name of Ding, it is not only reflected in the importance of its geographical location, but also the determination of the ancestors to resist foreign races and set Ding Danzhou!

Over the years, the souls and blood of the heroes have long since merged into the devastated city walls outside with the passage of time...

And today's Danding City has already used another way to become famous in the mainland and is very prosperous!

Yue's family.

Famous for alchemy, in Danding City, and even in the entire Danzhou, everyone knows about it, and no one knows it.

As a family famous for alchemy, at its peak, there were three Yuanying monks in charge, and their prestige was unmatched for a while. The alchemists of all levels gathered under its umbrella are counting in thousands, and the number of pills they are producing day by day is amazing!

Under it, Danfang is all over the 36 cities of Danzhou, every corner of the big and small, even the outer continents, there are also a lot.

It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, about thirty percent of the pills on the market in Danzhou were firmly controlled in the hands of the Yue family, and countless high-level monks were proud to be able to get a pill from the elders of the Yue family!

At that time, the Yue family was a real family giant in Danding City!

But now, with the fall of the last ancestor five hundred years ago, the Yue family is also like being sucked away from the backbone, and it is quickly dying, and it is no longer the glory of the past.

For hundreds of years, there was no Yuanying monk born in the town, and the originally huge team of Danshi had long been carved up.

As a result, there is a shortage of talents, and even the most basic pills sold in the family industry are only maintained by relying on the children of the clan to go back and forth day and night, working hard to open the furnace...

Fortunately, relying on the connections and remnants left by the ancestors, they can barely keep part of the industry, support the huge family, and continue to continue.

In the eyes of outsiders who don't know what's going on, even if the Yue family is in decline, there are still 3,000 nails in the broken boat, and the emaciated camel is also bigger than the horse, and the name of this second-rate family is also well-known, and it is full of heritage!

But all the bitter tastes in it are probably only known to the rulers of the Yue family themselves...

Covering an area of hundreds of acres, there is a three-story glazed hall, which is particularly eye-catching.

The appearance is golden and the shape is magnificent.

More than ten zhang high red stone pillar, carved dragon carved phoenix, as if rising from the ground in general, the momentum is compelling.

The eaves are green tiles, and the white steps of the jade column seem to have bursts of fire mist spraying out, which is extremely solemn!

This is the most proud building of the Yue family in Danding City, and it is also the meeting hall that has been used since the beginning of the building, "Liuyan Pavilion"!

This magnificent building, incompatible with the slightly depressed scenery around it, is so conspicuous and dazzling, as if telling the glorious past of the past, and also like the last trace of the waning West Mountain, maintaining the dignity and pride of the Yue family as a former giant.

In the empty and bright hall, the treasure light of the dome is shining, and the hot flames on the pillar of fire are rising and flying, but they do not feel the heat at all, and the two phases reflect the dazzling light and rhyme, which is particularly clear.

In the center, two unicorn giant beast statues, catching balls and breathing fire, are angry and vivid, with a faint coercion, even more hideous and majestic.

Under the unicorn statue, there are five men and two women, seven monks, all of whom have Jindan cultivation, sitting upright and looking extraordinary.

But at this time, several fathers-in-law elders who were in such an environment did not have a little happy expression on their faces, but were full of sadness.

"No!

Sitting on the far left, a richly dressed middle-aged monk suddenly stood up from his position and shouted loudly.

I saw that his face was a little resolute, and after looking around at everyone, he sighed bitterly and said: "That's our Yue family, there is only a few ancestral property left! Sell it like this, and in the future, we will wait, what kind of face will we have to face the ancestors and ancestors! Every shop in the thirty-five cities is not only an extension of strength and eyes and ears, but also the face of my Yue family! Not to mention that it is going to sell five cities, even if it is one city, it will make outsiders laugh for no reason, this is a cub selling Ye Tian!"

After speaking, the middle-aged monk shook his head and sighed, his face sad.

"Poof~ That's a nice thing to say! Face? Face is worth a few spirit stones? People compliment you, you can join the alliance and have the right to make decisions? Joke!"

"Over the years, among the shops in the 35 cities, how many of them can make a profit? How long will this bottomless pit be filled, and with the current situation of our Yue family, can it still be filled for a few years?

The one who spoke was a gray-haired woman with a thin face, and a little youthful demeanor could be seen between her eyebrows, and she should be a beauty.

It's just that this language is mocking, a little mean, and it doesn't look as dignified as it seems, coupled with the ruthless and undisguised mocking look in the corners of the eyes, it shows a bit of pungentness.

"You!!You are a woman's opinion!" The middle-aged monk in the big room looked a little out of shape when he was agitated.

He waved his hand and angrily reprimanded: "There are only about 20 Dan masters in my big house, how can I be responsible for the profits and losses of 20 cities! The third room has indeed paid a lot over the years, but most of the resources in the same family have been allocated to you, and how can the other rooms have any objections?!! even if they don't care about face, if they sell their property, I'm afraid that anyone in this city will be able to see the current predicament of my Yue family, and when the time comes, like a hundred years ago, someone will smell and come to the door, what will we use to resist this time!! When you are the person in the alliance, do you really care if my Yue family lives or dies?!"

"Heh! I said the third child of the big house, how many layers of gold have you plated on your face, and you are still stretched here? Dilemma? Hehe, what a joke! If there are some powerful forces in this Danding City, who doesn't know that my Yue family has already been a foreign powerhouse? Are you just a few days of tightness in our hands? Drag these out earlier, let's go into battle lightly, maybe we can fight with all our might, and there will be hope of regaining glory! When the interruption continues, how long can we gnaw on the remnants of our ancestors? The ancestors of our Yue family didn't start their families by cultivating and laid down this piece of family business? What is the current situation compared to that time? Why can't we follow the feats of our ancestors, but just sit and eat the empty mountain here and close our eyes and wait for death?!!

The spicy elders of the third room were also emotionally reprimanded, raising their eyebrows, and there was a lot of anger and indisputable indignation in their tones.

This ruthless and straightforward remark obviously made the middle-aged monk in the big house really angry, and slapped the handrail and drank: "Okay! Your third room is the hope of the Yue family's prosperity, and the other four rooms of us are all waste that eats the remnants of our ancestors! As long as you, Yue Qingying, dare to make a blood oath and can bring my Yue family back to its former glory, even if my big house is attached to you from now on?!!!

Yue Qingying was stunned for a moment, and was about to deal with it, but was pulled by an old man with a jade bun and long beard next to her, and then said lightly: "Hehe, I said the third child.. Don't be impatient! Qingying has such a temper and is straightforward, why do you have to worry about her? Haha! What we have done in Sanfang over the years, everyone has seen it, although we have made a contribution, but we have never thought of claiming to be the core of the Yue family, what are you trying to do, why do you want her to make a blood oath? If this kind of thing is recorded in the family tree, how do you let future generations view it? It is all a family, why is it so?"

Then he looked at the old man in the middle with his eyes closed and drooping beard, and asked with a smile, "Patriarch, what do you say?"

When the elder of the big house saw the old man speak, he looked a little jealous when he wanted to speak, so he had to snort coldly and no longer refute.

And the old man in the middle, who was called the patriarch, looked sleepy-eyed, as if he had turned a deaf ear to the fierce quarrel before.

At this time, when he heard the call, he came back to his senses at first time, wiped his mouth and said, "Hmm.. Well! Qing Yuan is right, you can't write two Yue characters with one stroke! They are all their own family, and they are all for the good of the Yue family, so there is no need to be like this, there is no need to be like this! The family does not speak two words, let's listen to the opinions of the other rooms!"

The old man with the beard in the third room seemed to have expected this to be the case, and he kindly hugged his fists and bowed, and then sat down with a smile on his own.

Yue Qingying scolded secretly in her heart: Old fox, you only know and mud!

Then, he also sat down sideways angrily, depressed.

"The great foundation left by our ancestors, there is not much left, our descendants are incompetent, if we can keep it for one day, we will keep it for one more day!

"Yes, our generation is not angry, so let's leave something for future generations, if it really comes to the day when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, my Yue family will have a peerless talent, and I will not be able to support it!"

And sitting at the bottom, the elder representing the fifth room was an old woman dressed in a cloak and black, and when she saw her, she said expressionlessly: "My fifth room is thin, there is nothing to say, you can discuss it." ”

The tone was faint and weak, and his voice sounded a little hoarse, obviously not interested in the intrigue of a room.

"Okay, then since everyone thinks so, let's keep this family business for the younger generations, and don't mention anything about selling the shop! Although it is more difficult now, we can always pass it by standing up, and maybe there will be another turn!" The patriarch of the Yue family looked confused, but this decision was decisive.

After making up his mind, he immediately turned the conversation around and asked seemingly lightly: "Speaking of this person, Qinghe, isn't there a letter from the daughter of your fifth room?" I remember that we discussed it again last time, why, she didn't want to come back?"

The old woman in the fifth room sneered and said, "Heh! People look like they are playing in the mountains and rivers, how can they have the slightest intention of going back to the Yue family." Lang is a concubine, maybe where will this be happy, Danding City will not come to the two of them! Why are you calling back? That girl seems to have climbed a high branch, and our Yue family's three melons and two dates may not be able to look at it, so why bother to come back and open the furnace day and night?"

"You can't say that!" Sanfang Yue Qingying interjected with displeasure: "No matter what she says, she is also a member of my Yue family, what is the situation now, no one can say clearly." Even if you don't want to come back, your aunt is still there, so you should come and see it, right?"

"Heh, isn't this exactly my aunt who personally sent the pair of orphans and widows out of the gate of the Yue's house that day..."

"Later, I looked at the video again, and that girl was really extraordinary. If you can come back to the Yue family and cultivate well, maybe you will really make some achievements, and your future achievements will at least not be worse than ours!" said to the old woman with a smile.

"I have also paid attention to that girl's alchemy attainments, not to mention the solid foundation, obviously there is something else! Could it be that Lao Qi still has a hand? Then this kind of opportunity, she is not alone, what do you think?" said the elder of the big house in a matter-of-fact manner.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the old woman get up, glaring at him with gloomy eyes, and said sharply: "Enough, Yue Qingqi! Don't use the little ghost you have all day long, and use it on how to take advantage! How do you guys fight, the old students don't want to participate, it's a big deal that the Yue family is scattered, everyone should go to the sect! How old was Ling'er that day? I can't even know how to open the furnace and control the fire! You are embarrassed to hit the junior? ? I don't want to pursue the matter of Lao Qi, it doesn't mean that I am at the mercy of others in the fifth room, what happened back then, you know it in your own hearts! Today, Lao Sheng will put the words here, if someone dares to fight Ling'er's idea, don't blame me for not thinking about blood and family affection, and I will never die! I should have done it for the Yue family in the fifth room, and it was done decades ago!"

The middle-aged elder in the big room was scolded by the old woman pointing at his nose, his face was blushing, but he didn't say anything to refute it, and sat back with some embarrassment.

The rest of the people had different expressions on their faces, and the old accounts were turned out, and they didn't answer.

The old patriarch in the middle, with a tired face, said helplessly: "Okay, Qinghe! If someone really wants to be unfavorable to her, the old man will not let him go, and the clan rules are not ornaments!

"Let's discuss how to get this year's annual list together as soon as possible!"

With the patriarch speaking, the old woman in the fifth room gave up stupidly, but there was some worry in her eyes, as if she remembered something from the past, and she didn't pay attention to what everyone was talking about.

looked stunned, shook his head and sighed from time to time.....
