As the saying goes, starting a business is difficult, but keeping it is even harder.
If the predecessors were able to create a family fortune, they naturally had great abilities and experienced great hardships. Only then could they leave a large amount of wealth for their descendants that others could not match. However, although it seems easy for future generations to keep these huge financial assets, it is not that simple.
It is said that one can only be rich for three generations.
In fact, this is the truth.
No matter how capable the predecessors were, they could accumulate countless valuable wealth, but future generations did not know how to cherish it and just squandered it. In fact, it would be the same as having no wealth at all.
Because even if it is a mountain of gold or silver, it will be eaten up one day. Sitting around and living in vain is the only thing that many children from rich families can do. Of course, not all rich kids are like this. Many wealthy children who understand can still cherish the fruits of their predecessors' labor and actively use this as a basis to further expand their own financial resources. However, such people are in the minority after all. There are very few children from rich families who can still survive after their predecessors have left, and who can continue to strengthen themselves. It is extremely difficult to hold on to the wealth left by our ancestors.
This is precisely why, whether it is a martial arts sect or a wealthy country squire, it is rare for them to remain prosperous and there is always a process of prosperity and decline. It is already a miracle that it can still stand, let alone continue to flourish.
Speaking of why there are nine famous upright sects in the world, in fact, no matter what kind of wind and rain they have experienced since the establishment of the sect, whether they are strong or weak, they still stand firm in the world, so they can become the nine recognized sects in the world. Big sect. In fact, many famous and decent sects have important positions in the world, such as the other four sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect besides Huashan, such as the Diancang Sect, the Snow Mountain Sect, the Bagua Sect, etc. When these sects were extremely powerful, they had the potential to unify the martial arts world. However, after passing the peak, it disappeared immediately. This is the reason why they cannot become the orthodox martial arts master in the end.
In the final analysis, in one sentence, it is difficult to conquer the world, but it is even more difficult to defend the world.
What's the use of being able to conquer all the world and command the shores of the universal sea? If you can't hold on, you will be eaten back by others soon.
This is the case with the Kuncang sect. Although the Kuncang sect has been established for a hundred years, it is obvious that they currently do not have a good martial arts leader. Even though Xue Qingrou is not a good person, she is too young and has too little qualifications. If the Kuncang faction hadn't angered the court because of the Guan Yin case, and many people were afraid of getting burned, this position might not have gone to Xue Qingrou at all. However, now that he has become the leader of the Kunlun Sect, he naturally has to be the leader well. Not to mention how strong Kunlun Xiao will be, at least he will not directly decline in her hands!
In fact, when the Kunlun Sect was passed to his father Xue Qianhe, it was already in some decline, and its prestige in the world was getting smaller and smaller. If I can no longer make a difference, I am afraid that the Kunlun Sect will become insignificant in the world in the future. Therefore, Xue Qingqing and Hu Daiwei decided to participate in this anti-Japanese conference. Although the power of the Kunlun Sect may not be insignificant anymore, the Kunlun Sect's own status in the world is still there. Ren Xiaoyao was very happy to be supported by the Kunlun Sect, one of the nine sects, so he was naturally polite to Xue Qingrou and his wife.
However, not only the Kunlun sect encountered difficulties in maintaining their careers, but also another martial arts sect also encountered the same difficulties. This sect is the Tang Clan, the leader of the four major families in the world.
Although Tang Clan is currently the most powerful faction among the four major families in Jianghu, it also has the most masters among them. But the problems that followed came. As a disciple of the Tang clan, Tang Mugong was already over eighty years old, still older than Ren Xiaoyao. The other three elders are all over seventy years old. I believe these old people in the world will retire from the world soon.
Next, who will take over the position of Tang Clan.
Originally, Tang Mugong's eldest son Tang Siji, Tang Zhong's father, was the most suitable candidate. However, Tang Mugong was killed because of his grievances in the world. Since then, the Tang Sect has lost its best successor. The eldest son of Tang Mugong has passed away, but he actually still has four sons. But Tang Mugong could not rest assured about any of his other four sons. In their view, the four of them all have great character weaknesses, and each of them also has his or her own selfish desires. If you become the sect leader, it will be difficult to fully consider the interests of the Tang sect, and you will only focus on yourself and your selfish desires.
This is what Tang Mugong is most afraid of.
As an old man, the most painful thing is that he can clearly see that every one of his sons is in trouble. Many times, Tang Mugong actually wanted to pass the position of head to his successor, Tang Sitian. But Tang Sitian has a fiery personality and is easily impulsive. And once he loses his temper, he doesn't care about it at all. If someone really becomes the head of the Tang Sect, I wonder what kind of trouble it will cause?
Tang Mugong thought about it over and over, and suddenly came up with a very bold and unique idea. It is to pass on the position of the head of the Tang Sect to a descendant of the Tang Sect with a foreign surname. Such a candidate is Tang Weiyan.
Although her surname is not Tang, she is still nominally the granddaughter-in-law of the Tang clan and can be considered a member of the Tang clan.
It is not that no woman has ever been the head of the Tang Sect, but this female sect leader must be someone with the surname "Tang", and definitely not someone with a foreign surname.
Of course, Tang Mugong could also imagine that if he really passed on the position of Tang Sect leader to Wei Yan, he would probably encounter great resistance in the Tang Sect. Because he has obviously broken the rules of the Tang Sect, there must be many people in the Tang Sect who want to oppose him. The first person who may have to oppose him is his four sons. In addition, there are many elders in the Tang family who used to be indifferent, and may now come out to cross paths. They didn't do anything before because they didn't have the chance. Now that they are finally able to take control, they may not miss the opportunity.
In the final analysis, it still depends on whether Wei Yan is qualified for this position and can withstand all pressure.
In the last battle between Wei Yan and the Dead Water Fairy, although she used her great power to repel the Dead Water Fairy, she was also seriously injured. However, young people recover faster, and since she has made great progress in martial arts recently, she recovers even faster.
After more than half a month of rest, his injury has almost healed.
Her injuries gradually healed, and she became obsessed with her swordsmanship again.
