"Your ancestors did not start with King Yangming, but before that, someone had already dug up the ruins." Li Qiye said slowly, looking at the dilapidated Taoist platform.
Master Changming did not hide anything from Li Qiye, and told everything he knew, saying: "I will not hide it from you, sir, yes, before our ancestor Yangming King Changsheng unearthed the Silver Dragon Celestial Mecha, it was a long time ago Previously, it was rumored that at that time, when it was still the Immortal Tradition, the Immortal Ancestors of the Immortal Valley presided over a large-scale excavation.”
"What did you dig out?" Li Qiye couldn't help but stare at him when he heard this, and asked slowly
"This -" Master Chang Ming couldn't help but hesitated, and finally had to say: "I don't know about the others, it was too long ago, but the ancestors left a key."
Li Qiye frowned and said, "Where is this key?"
When Li Qiye asked this question, Master Chang Ming couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He laughed dryly and said, "To be honest, sir, I have pawned this key and gave it to Fuguifang."
Having said this, Master Chang Ming couldn't help but sigh softly, with a sad expression.
"Master, we are very poor and need money." Finally, Master Changming raised his head. Although it was difficult to say these words, Master Changming still said truthfully: "Every thousand years, we must need a large amount of money." The elixir and elixir were injected into it with alchemy liquid. Before that, the sect was still a little wealthy and could persevere. However, as the sect declined day by day, it was no longer able to make ends meet. Later, it was unable to survive and could only turn to wealth. I borrowed some money and pawned some of my ancestral belongings."
Having said this, Master Changming could not help but sigh softly and said: "It is Changming's incompetence that failed to revitalize the Changsheng Sect, causing it to decline day by day."
Speaking of this, Master Changming couldn't help but look sad. She also wanted to revitalize the Yangming Changsheng Sect, but with her own strength, how could she reverse the decline of the Yangming Changsheng Sect?
The Yangming Changsheng Sect is declining day by day, and is getting poorer. Especially every thousand years, it needs a large amount of elixirs and elixirs to refine elixirs. Such consumption can be sustained when the Yangming Changsheng Sect is still prosperous. , but, later on, it became increasingly difficult to continue.
When the time came for Master Changming, he had to pawn the sect's ancestral belongings to maintain this situation. It was precisely because of this that Master Changming put down his dignity, shamelessly borrowed money from other sects everywhere.
This time, Master Changming first asked Funiu Mountain for help, and then asked Kuangmen for help, but they were unable to borrow the money they needed. Finally, fortunately, they met Li Qiye, who casually gave them an ancient dragon crystal. , This solved their urgent need. Otherwise, not only would they not be able to abide by the ancestral precepts, but their Yangming Changsheng Sect might also become an industry inherited by other sects.
"Rise and fall are normal." Li Qiye said calmly: "What did your ancestors do back then?"
Master Changming shook his head gently and said: "I don't know the specifics. I only know that the ancestor of Changsheng and three disciples excavated the ruins. However, there are very few records in the sect. It seems that the ancestors discovered some kind of alien species or something. I want to cultivate the ancient veins.”
At this point, he sighed softly and said: "Later, ancestors Changsheng, Yaoxianzi, and Mu ancestors all disappeared, but from then on, we have our ancestral precepts, and we must stay here every thousand years. Inject the elixir juice."
"It seems that your Immortal King also knows about it." Li Qiye glanced at the dilapidated Taoist platform and said calmly.
"There is speculation that this is the case." Master Changming nodded and said: "From the sect records, it is rumored that our ancestor King Changsheng loved ancestor Mu deeply. Later, I don't know why, but our ancestor King Changsheng not only returned, but also came back. And he also merged the Changsheng Valley and the Yangming Sect. He also started to dig up the ruins."
Having said this, Master Changming paused and said: "There are two legends. One legend believes that the ancestor of the Immortal King is because of the decline of our Immortal Valley, so the ancestor of the Immortal King will continue the ancestral precepts of the past. There is speculation that the ancestor King Changsheng knew the whereabouts of ancestor Mu, so he excavated the ruins and used this to revitalize our Yangming Changsheng Sect."
Li Qiye shook his head gently and said: "You have a good inheritance, but you make a mess and it does not decline. That's the devil."
When Li Qiye said this, Master Chang Ming couldn't help but look embarrassed, laughed dryly, and finally said softly: "Young Master has given us grace, allowing our Changsheng Sect to continue to live, but I'm afraid it will be unsustainable in the future."
Having said this, Master Changming paid his respects to Li Qiye and said, "Young Master has been so kind to you. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Changming to repay you, and the Changsheng Sect will not be able to repay you for your kindness."
Master Chang Ming also knows very well in her heart that Yangming Changsheng Sect has declined today and will decline even more in the future. Even if she wants to turn the tide, save Yangming Changsheng Sect, and revive the sect, she still has her heart. There is insufficient energy left.
Therefore, Li Qiye could not repay his great kindness to them.
Li Qiye smiled, shook his head slightly, and said: "This is just fate in the past. When it is over, it is over."
"Master, are you here to dig up our ruins?" Master Changming took a deep breath, and she was already prepared in her heart.
Originally, the Yangming Changsheng Sect could only excavate the relics of their Yangming Changsheng Sect themselves, and of course they did not want outsiders to excavate them.
However, Li Qiye was very kind to Yangming Changsheng Sect. If Li Qiye wanted to dig up their ruins, Changming Zhenren as the sect leader, she would have no choice but to remain silent.
"I'm afraid, there isn't anything I want here." Li Qiye shook his head gently and said, "But, I still need to go in and take a look."
Having said this, Li Qiye glanced at Master Changming and said calmly: "If you continue like this, the Changsheng Sect will perish sooner or later."
Li Qiye's words immediately made Master Changming silent. Finally, she said softly: "Perhaps, we can only give up the ancestral teachings. This can more or less allow our Changsheng Sect to survive for some years. As for the future, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do.”
Having said this, Master Chang Ming couldn't help but trembled. He looked up at Li Qiye and said, "Sir, what do you think? Should we abandon the teachings of our ancestors?"
At this time, it was a very difficult choice for Master Changming. For the currently poor Yangming Changsheng Sect, the ancestral precepts left by their ancestors were a drag, a kind of gold-eating beast. It seems to be endlessly devouring the wealth of their Yangming Changsheng Sect.
You must know that in the past years, when they were still in the Valley of Immortality, they were extremely wealthy. Their pills and spiritual herbs were all things that everyone in the world wanted first.
However, with the subsequent decline, and every thousand years, a large amount of elixirs and elixirs were needed, all of which were poured into this platform, which required a lot of money to support.
Originally, from the beginning, their Changsheng Valley itself was rich in elixirs and elixirs, and they used their own elixirs to refine the liquid and inject it into this platform.
However, with the decline of their Immortal Valley, their own elixirs could no longer support themselves. They could only rely on purchasing from outside to continue this ancestral precept. Moreover, as time went by, their Immortal Valley also became more and more expensive. It's becoming increasingly difficult to support.
Later, after King Yangming Immortality merged the two Taoist traditions, he re-established the Yangming Immortality Sect and continued to implement this ancestral precept. Moreover, in the era of King Yangming Immortality, the elixir injected here was even more precious. The quality is also higher.
However, with the end of the era of King Yangming, the Yangming Changsheng Sect also declined again. Although it still implemented the ancestral precepts of the year, the elixirs and herbs that could be used were far inferior to those of King Changsheng. It's time.
"What do you think?" Li Qiye glanced at it and said lightly.
Master Changming couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and finally she said softly: "I don't know the meaning of persisting in this ancestral precept, but when our ancestor, King Changsheng, he repeatedly emphasized and consolidated this ancestral precept, future generations will Anyone who takes power must strictly implement the ancestral precepts, otherwise, he will not be able to hold the authority of the Yangming Changsheng Sect."
Li Qiye looked at the Taoist platform. When his eyes were focused, he seemed to have penetrated into the depths of the Taoist platform.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze, shook his head gently, sighed, and said: "It is often my own thoughts that lead to endless troubles, and I am trapped in a whirlpool that is difficult to get out of for eternity."
"Why do you say that?" Master Changming asked Li Qiye gently.
Li Qiye looked at Master Chang Ming and said, "Then why do your ancestors insist on such ancestral precepts so much? Since King Changsheng also dug up the relics, why do you still need to consolidate this ancestral precepts?"
"Changming doesn't know this." Master Changming shook his head slightly and said: "The ancestral precepts have been implemented for countless years. I also know that today's Changsheng Sect is no longer sustainable. However, if this ancestral precepts are in If it is destroyed by my hands, then I will be the sinner of the sect."
Having said this, Master Chang Ming couldn't help but sigh sadly.
For Chang Ming Zhenren, she certainly didn't want to become a sinner of the sect, but at the moment, she had no better choice.
If this continues, the Yangming Changsheng Sect will surely perish.
"Because you ancestors all want to have a time to blossom and bear fruit." Li Qiye said lightly: "When they know what is inside, they all want to persevere. Once they succeed, then you may be able to create a Miracle."
"However, all misfortunes and blessings are dependent on each other." Li Qiye sighed softly and said: "This is also the root of the destruction of the family."
