Li Qiye glanced at Hong Tianzhu and looked at his embarrassed expression. He couldn't help but said lightly: "I understand, you no longer have the iron certificate from back then! The iron certificate written by the ancestors of the Zhang family back then, this time Break the iron alliance between you and Jinxiu Valley!"
"This, this, you, how do you know this?" Hong Tianzhu couldn't help being shocked when he heard such words. This matter is very old, so old that even Dongting Lake has almost forgotten it.
If cooperation with Jin Xiugu hadn't been brought up again this time, it would be difficult for Hong Tianzhu to think of it again. Even their juniors in Dongting Lake don’t know about this, let alone outsiders.
Li Qiye did not answer Hong Tianzhu's words, but just looked at Hong Tianzhu and said: "You have broken that iron bond, and future generations will be unable to write again. In the end, even Jin Xiugu will not bother to care about you."
After being pointed out by Li Qiye, Hong Tianzhu's old face couldn't help but get hot. He laughed dryly and said: "This, this, I, I don't deny that Dongting Lake is indeed not as good as it used to be. I, our descendants are unworthy, and our strength is not as strong as it used to be, so we can't help but Being looked down upon."
After saying such words, Hong Tianzhu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but at this moment, in front of Li Qiye, he always felt as if he was several generations shorter.
Li Qiye sighed softly and looked at Hong Tianzhu. It was best not to bear it. He woke him up and said: "Jin Xiugu is too lazy to pay attention to you, not just because you have declined. Although the Iron Alliance back then was written by the ancestors of the Zhang family, , However, on top of the Iron Alliance, there is the iron law of inheritance promised by your ancestors with the surnames Hong, Xu, and Zhang at the same time."
"Look, look at what Dongting Lake looks like to you now. Several surnames are excluding each other. You have long forgotten the iron laws of inheritance of your ancestors. Today you sit in this position, and tomorrow he will sit in that position. It is already a mess. , completely failed to follow the iron law of inheritance!”
Having said this, Li Qiye sighed softly. Said: "You have all thrown the iron law of inheritance out of the sky. There is chaos above the sect's inheritance, and you have spent all your energy and resources on internal fighting. Do you think your Dongting Lake can be strong?"? Li said Qiye asked. Hong Tianzhu was speechless.
"Dongting Lake is built on the division of labor and cooperation between your major surnames. Without division of labor and cooperation, and no customs, you are like a group of wild dogs fighting for a piece of fat! Think about it for yourself. Today you, the Hong family, are in power Yes, you have your Hong family's way. Tomorrow the Xu family will take power. You have the Xu family's way. Orders are changed day by day, and customs are just a piece of paper." Having said this, Li Qiye said lightly: "Do you think Jin Xiugu will associate with you and form an alliance with you? Everyone has his own way of coming to power, and there is no will to carry out the entire execution!"
"I -" Hong Tianzhu opened his mouth to speak. He wanted to say a few words. But, I don’t know what to say.
Li Qiye couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "You want to form an iron alliance with Jinxiu Valley. This is not impossible. The heirs of your major surnames sit down and let go of what you need to do, and implement what you need to do." Execution, everything will be in accordance with the iron law of inheritance. In the Iron Alliance, your surnames promised the iron law of inheritance of the year. If you don't repent, there is still a chance."
"This -" Hong Tianzhu couldn't help but hesitate. He didn't know how Li Qiye knew so many secrets at this time. He couldn't help but be convinced by Li Qiye.
Hong Tianzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally had to say: "Sir, this matter is not as simple as imagined. Even if I have the intention to form such an iron alliance, the ancestors may not be willing to do so, let alone the fact that we have several major surnames sitting in the iron alliance. . Promise the iron law of inheritance."
Hong Tianzhu's words are not unreasonable. After all, after taking charge, who is willing to give up the power in his hands? This is impossible.
In the face of power, no one can withstand the temptation. It is precisely because of this that several generations of people in Dongting Lake have begun to abandon the iron law of inheritance. Such competition for power and resources has led to chaos in Dongting Lake and many long-standing customary agreements. Unable to proceed.
"Please ask the heroic spirits of your ancestors to make a decision. Under the iron law of inheritance, anyone who dares to violate it will be punished without mercy." Li Qiye said calmly.
"The heroic spirit of the ancestors?" Hearing such words, Hong Tianzhu couldn't help but froze for a moment. It was like hearing a joke, but he did not dare to say it.
Ancestral spirits, in the eyes of many people, are vague and nihilistic things. Many of them are just ways of commemorating ancestors and cherishing the glory of their ancestors.
Ask the heroic spirits of our ancestors to make a decision. Such a thing is fundamentally impossible. Who would listen to such an ethereal and nihilistic decision? "It seems that you don't even know what you have lost." Li Qiye couldn't help but hate him for not arguing. He shook his head and said: "You broke the iron alliance and abandoned the iron law of inheritance. In the end, even your ancestors I forgot. No wonder Jinxiugu looks down on you, because you have completely disgraced your ancestors and even discarded the most precious treasure left by your ancestors. Why do you think Jinxiugu looks down on you?"
"You don't think that what Baishengtang hides is a treasure, do you?" Li Qiye finally gave Hong Tianzhu a cold look.
Hong Tianzhu was very embarrassed when he said this. Among their Dongting Lake ancestors, there was indeed an ancestor who believed that there was a treasure hidden in the Baisheng Church. The great ancestor tried to open the Baisheng Church, but he never succeeded.
Li Qiye was a little helpless. He looked at Hong Tianzhu and said, "Then let me ask you, have you ever offered sacrifices to Dongting Lake? Are there any heroic spirits who have worshiped your ancestors?"
"This, this, this..." Hong Tianzhu couldn't help laughing. He kept mumbling for a long time, and couldn't even say the last word.
Li Qiye was already a little helpless, shook his head and said: "I don't know how to say good things to idiots like you. If I were your ancestor, I would definitely strangle you all to death. A bunch of idiots only have that in their eyes." Power, you have no idea what you have lost!"
"Do you really think that with your Dongting Lake's natural danger and your little strength, you can defend Dongting Lake? Do you know how important this treasure land of Dongting Lake is? How much did your ancestors spend for this treasure land? Hard work! In this Sea of Dragon Demons, which inheritance from Qiwu Pavilion, Conch Hao or Shen Mengtian can easily wipe out your Dongting Lake!" Li Qiye gave Hong Tianzhu a cold look.
In the end, Li Qiye could only shake his head gently and said: "Do you really think that guarding Dongting Lake is your credit? To put it bluntly, Shen Mengtian's Meng Zhentian can easily destroy you. But Shen Mengtian also Okay, regardless of Qiwu Pavilion, they haven't taken action against you in Dongting Lake. Why? Do you really think you are the only ancestors? In the eyes of others, your ancestors are no different than ants! "
"You have actually survived in Dongting Lake until now because your ancestors' heroic spirits are protecting you. It is precisely because of the protection of your ancestors' heroic spirits that the enemy does not dare to act rashly! Without the protection of your ancestors' heroic spirits, you are just a bunch of ants. , in this sea of dragon monsters where the sea monster is the king, without the protection of your heroic spirits, you are like a piece of fat, torn to pieces by a group of bloodthirsty sharks!"
At this point, Li Qiye snorted heavily and said coldly: "However, today you have completely forgotten the heroic spirits of your ancestors! You have never offered sacrifices to the lake or worshiped your ancestors. It is really ridiculous!"
"The heroic spirits of our ancestors?" Hong Tianzhu couldn't help but murmured.
Li Qiye felt helpless, shook his head gently and said, "You don't think that the heroic spirits of your ancestors are just ethereal and ethereal things, do you?"
Hong Tianzhu laughed dryly, not knowing what to say for a long time.
Hong Yujiao, who was sitting aside, was speechless because she didn’t know what the heroic spirits of her ancestors were. She also knew very little about inheriting the Iron Law and the Iron Alliance. None of the ancestors of Dongting Lake wanted to Mention it more often.
After all, in order to fight for power, several generations of their ancestors abandoned the iron law of inheritance and broke the ancestral precepts. As the descendants, of course they are not willing to mention such things.
"Sir, if, if you really want to make a decision, then, how should the heroic spirits of our ancestors make a decision?" Hong Tianzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to say.
"Do you really have that courage?" Li Qiye looked at Hong Tianzhu and said calmly: "Now in Dongting Lake, your Hong family has a lot of power, and the Xu family also controls several big docks, right? You guys The most miserable surname among them is the Zhang family, which has no place to stand in the huge Dongting Lake."
When Li Qiye said this, Hong Tianzhu's face became hot. He was not very clear about the struggle for power back then, but he had heard some of it. Although the Zhang family's ancestors lost power when they fought for power, their Zhang family in the Eighteenth Ward of Dongting was still There was a share, but later the ancestor of the Zhang family moved out of Dongting Lake out of anger, and several of their surnames divided up all the assets under the Zhang family's name. It can be said that the whole process was not so glorious.
At this time, Li Qiye gave Hong Tianzhu a cold look and said: "You, the Hong family, are really willing to hand over the power in your hands, and are you willing to spit out the assets you have swallowed?" Hong Tianzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "I dare not say what the ancestors think. However, what the young master said is correct. We in Dongting Lake are indeed in a chaotic power order. We are fighting with each other and doing our own thing, which makes many covenants unable to be implemented for a long time. If this continues , I’m afraid that Dongting Lake is even more scattered and will be unable to continue.”
"I was enlightened by what you said today." Hong Tianzhu sighed softly and said, "It's time for our Dongting Lake to reshape its order. Otherwise, who would think highly of our Dongting Lake?"
As the head of Dongting Lake, he can better understand the frustration of being unable to implement many decisions. (To be continued.)
