Jiang Ning had a miserable childhood, became famous at a young age, and had incredible cultivation.
Even with Long Ye's careful teaching, his character still became very extreme.
He has always been strong externally and does not give face to any force.
As long as he is provoked, he will be beaten and killed at every turn, and in the end his cultivation will be ruined.
Do one's own way internally, look down on this today, laugh at that tomorrow, regard rules as nothing.
Faced with him, who was a powerful person and was also a disciple of the master Qin Chuan, many junior brothers and sisters could only endure the injustice in secret, and began to distance themselves from the master.
The elders of Qingleizhai have repeatedly persuaded Long Ye, saying that Jiang Ning is a good thug, but he will never be a good leader.
Long Ye was not blind. Jiang Ning's actions made him feel that it was time for strict discipline.
He tried to preach to Jiang Ning many times, but how could Jiang Ning listen?
Jiang Ning felt that as long as his fists were big, he could say and do whatever he wanted.
So after Long Ye's preaching failed, he wanted to restrict Jiang Ning's actions and prevent Jiang Ning from going out to cause trouble. At the same time, he also wanted to cultivate his moral character in the sect.
Long Ye still has expectations for Jiang Ning, hoping to train Jiang Ning into what a leader should be like.
But Longye's method didn't work.
Jiang Ning regarded his repeated disciplinary actions as Long Ye's way of controlling him.
Instead, there was a gap between him and Long Ye.
After many conflicts with Long Ye, he drank to drown his sorrows every day and was very depressed.
He felt that a unique person like himself ended up in this situation because he was jealous and ostracized by others.
At the same time, the Demon Sect took advantage of the opportunity and entered.
They have beauties of all kinds, some pure and some innocent, some charming and some charming.
Even if one wants contrast, they have absolutely no shortage of it.
Under the obedient temptation of the beautiful girl from the Demon Sect, Jiang Ning's inner emptiness was quickly satisfied and she fell deeply into it.
Under the introduction of beauties whose identities were not revealed, Jiang Ning got to know more people from the Demon Sect.
At first, he also wanted to kill these people from the Demon Sect.
But soon, he discovered that these so-called people from the Demon Sect were all genuine people, completely different from the decent hypocrites outside.
So he prefers to be with people from the Demon Sect.
Jiang Ning, who has a high self-esteem, is full of weaknesses in the eyes of the Demon Sect.
Under the deliberate frame-up of the Demon Sect, Jiang Ning was quickly caught with some clues that could ruin his reputation and asked him to make a decision.
On one side is his master, and on the other side is a woman and friend who treats him very well, but only needs his help with something.
He made a decision quickly and chose to leave the division.
Because in his opinion, he is so talented and intelligent that he can excel anywhere.
What Master gave me was just an opportunity, but such opportunities are available everywhere.
You need to be grateful, but you don't need to be grateful.
Everything I have is the result of my own efforts!
Ever since, Jiang Ning has become the highest-ranking spy of the Demon Sect among the decent sect.
Qinglei Zhai has become the biggest parasite for the Demon Sect.
In the end, after the situation broke out, Long Ye had to kill Jiang Ning with his own hands.
He also led the conservative elders to kill most of the disciples of Qingleizhai.
The people who are hidden in Qinglei Zhai from the Demon Sect are not all rotten fish and shrimps.
Although Long Ye killed two Demon Sect Nascent Souls and scared the rest away, Long Ye was also seriously injured.
After passing the position of leader to Han Qu, the most conservative elder, he imprisoned himself in the sect's forbidden area, Broken Bone Cliff.
Qing Leizhai's enlightened actions caused such turmoil in the sect.
Fortunately, Han Qu finally became Yuanying in times of crisis and retained his position among the three major forces in the Wu Kingdom.
But his disciples have become indifferent.
After that, Long Ye spent every day in pain and regret.
I hate myself for being so smart.
Could it be that none of the seniors could have thought of the things I could think of in tens of thousands of years?
So why didn’t the seniors do it?
It's not because such things have happened many times in history that they dare not open this mouth.
But it was because of his pride and complacency that he believed that the problems of his ancestors would not happen to him, so many years of Qinglei Zhai's great achievements were almost ruined in one day.
At this time, he finally realized that the rapid development of the sect was important, but it was also important to take every step well.
Any genius is not necessarily worthy of trust.
Because these people have advantages in talent or understanding, they have always been far ahead in the later cultivation process.
Mentality is often prone to unpredictable changes.
Although there are problems with this overgeneralization, caution makes the ship of ten thousand years possible.
Time is the best detection tool.
It can not only sharpen the mind of the disciples, but also slowly cultivate the disciples' identification with the sect in their daily practice and life.
Slow development is a bit slow, but if we try to develop quickly, the foundation will not be solid, and the foundation will shake the mountains.
As a result, Qinglei Zhai, which used to be the most open, has now become the most conservative sect.
It can be said to be a polar reversal.
But such a sect has a certain foundation and ample room for development.
After the smart Zerg people discovered it, they started the layout immediately.
Seven months later, after many hardships, the Zerg people finally arrived at a village hidden deep in the mountains.
There are nearly 3,000 people here, which is larger than the population of many small towns, but it is so abruptly far away from human settlements, which is really strange.
Several children playing at the entrance of the village ran away screaming when they saw the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of them.
The children's cries immediately attracted the attention of many villagers.
Many men and women gathered around holding pitchforks, tongs, kitchen knives and other weapons.
But they didn't take action directly, and just surrounded Luo Mingye and others.
Not long after, the crowd made a gap, and an old man walked over shakily.
"Who are you?"
As the village chief, the old man stood in front of Luo Mingye.
He looked at the group of people in front of him.
Although these people carried weapons on their waists, their swords were not unsheathed when faced with the surrounding villagers.
The clothes on their bodies are extremely gorgeous, and they look like they are a group of people who are living a very good life.
Why do people like this come to their village?
Upon hearing the village chief's question, Luo Mingye, dressed as a wealthy businessman, smiled and said:
"My dear, Han Jin, is currently a businessman with a relatively small income.
My grandfather’s last wish before his death was to have his ashes returned to his ancestral land, so I inquired all the way here. "
The old man looked Luo Mingye up and down and asked doubtfully: "Your surname is Han too?"
Luo Mingye nodded: "Our ancestors all have the surname Han. I heard that they were separated from a large family. It is said that our ancestors had immortals, but they encountered changes in the later period, so they were separated from the family."
"That's it." The village chief muttered casually, but said nothing.
Seeing this, a man dressed as a guard handed a box to Luo Mingye.
After Luo Mingye took it, he opened the box without hiding it and handed it to the village chief in front of him.
"This is 200 taels of silver. Can you let me wait in the village and visit it?"
Seeing the silver, the village chief's eyes immediately lit up.
He took the silver in one hand and moved smoothly, not looking like a dying man at all.
"Okay, okay! I'll show you around!"
Others could easily spend so much money that it would be enough to buy their entire village.
There is nothing special about their village, so what can they hide?
So, the village chief took Luo Mingye to visit the entire village.
With the help of money, the village chief explained the history of the entire village to Luo Mingye very frankly.
Their ancestor is Han Qu, the current head of Qingleizhai.
Among the descendants of the Han family, there have been many monks before, and they still have some say in Qingleizhai.
However, the younger generation of disciples were not very successful. From Han Qu on down, no one succeeded in building the foundation.
On the contrary, because there is an ancestor Han Qu covering it, the descendants are a little jumpy.
In the name of Han Qu, he did a lot of immoral things and offended many casual cultivating families around him.
Later, on a dark and stormy night, the Han family was besieged by many families.
Fortunately, there were some formations left by Han Qu that could resist him for a while, so that he wouldn't be ruined overnight.
Although Hanqu still saved them, at that time it was only a fourth-level Hanqu, and he paid a heavy price for it.
After sending these tribesmen here and giving them a batch of supplies, Han Qu announced that he would sever ties with them.
They are also worried that they will be retaliated against after leaving. They have stayed here for nearly four hundred years.
After years of hardship, life is very difficult now, let alone cultivating immortals.
Luo Mingye followed the village chief to the door of the ancestral hall.
The village chief took out a bunch of keys from his arms.
Using the most primitive one among them, he opened the lock on the door.
"Squeak."
The heavy ancestral hall masters were slowly pushed away.
Under the sun, there are traces of dust floating everywhere in the temple.
The entire ancestral hall looked gray, and there were some debris around it that had been left for who knows how long. It seemed that it had not been cleaned for a long time.
Regarding this scene, the village chief explained:
“Every family in the village is not living a very good life now, so they haven’t carried out large-scale ancestor worship activities for a long time.
On some festivals, each family can just worship their elders at home. "
Regarding the village chief's statement, Luo Mingye nodded, and then moved his eyes to the tablets in the ancestral hall.
The densely packed tablets are stacked layer by layer, with a total of eighteen layers.
Above the tablet, there are also portraits of many outstanding celebrities.
There were literati, officials, and monks.
The most famous one is of course the portrait of Han Qu.
His portrait is obviously larger and newer than the other portraits, and it can be seen that someone has been maintaining it for a long time.
But later, due to some reasons that everyone knows, the maintenance work was finally stopped.
The incense burner placed in front has been covered with a layer of patina on the outside, and the incense ashes inside have been completely buried by the dust.
At this time, the village chief stepped forward and opened the red cloth covering the altar, revealing a box.
The village chief frowned and fanned the dust stirred up with his hand.
"Cough cough cough"
He looked at Luo Mingye, pointed at the box and said, "What's inside is all the genealogy of the Han family. You can look through it."
The two guards on the side opened the box.
These genealogy pages, whose pages had already turned yellow, appeared in front of Luo Mingye.
Luo Mingye took a quick look and saw that many of the upper layers of the family tree were full of gaps. He didn't know how the lower layers had been bitten by insects.
The other Zerg people immediately stepped forward to take a look.
Luo Mingye chatted with the village chief.
"I didn't expect that the Han family has fallen to this point."
Hearing Luo Mingye's sigh, the village chief was also a little sad.
"Who says it's not the case? It's all our descendants' fault for not living up to expectations and leading our lives like this."
The two began to chat, and the village chief's attention was distracted from staring at the Zerg people.
The Zerg people were holding a family tree, seemingly searching for the names of certain people.
In fact, they are constantly chanting words in their minds.
"Han Jie gave birth to two sons, Han Jian and Han Ren."
"Han Zhengsheng has four sons, Han Han, Han Wo, Han Ji, Han Ba"
In the mother nest, there are many people who help record.
Before long, these genealogies were recorded in seven or eight books.
The Zerg people are not greedy for more, after all, they are not here to copy genealogy, and recording too many names is useless.
All you need to do is find out which Han family members were missing during that turbulent time, and then record the names of the Han family members above and below these people.
"Master, we found it!"
A guard held up a genealogy and shouted excitedly to Luo Mingye.
When Luo Mingye heard this, he immediately hurried over and took over the genealogy with a solemn expression.
He followed the guard's pointing and saw the name Han Xin.
Luo Mingye said with some excitement: "It seems that my ancestor probably really branched off from here."
But he did not make a blind judgment. He took the village chief and began to check the person's situation.
"Village Chief, are there any elders in the village who still remember this person's appearance?"
The village chief stood aside and looked at the excited Luo Mingye, who was filled with many emotions.
Why do you think I can remember things from more than four hundred years ago?
He pondered for a moment, seeming to think of something.
So he asked: "I wonder what your ancestor is like?"
Luo Mingye said directly:
"When my ancestor was young, he had a smooth and fair face, with sharp edges and corners that revealed a coldness, and a pair of dark eyes with a charming color."
Listening to Luo Mingye's unclear description, the village chief clapped his hands and exclaimed:
"Oh, it's true! At that time, everyone here looked like this."
But he didn't directly say that it was in his memory.
It has been 400 years, can he still remember a ball? He is only about fifty years old.
So he comforted him: "You guys wait a moment, I'll go ask other old people in the village."
With that said, 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 confusion, and saw Luo Mingye shaking his head at him.
A sentence came to him in his head: "Let's watch him perform!"
The village chief walked a few steps and looked back.
When I found that no one was following me, I felt relieved.
"Oh, good days are so rare!"
He sighed and went home with the silver in his arms.
He handed the silver in his hand to his son, sat on the chair again, and slowly began to drink tea.
He took a sip of the tea cup into his mouth, but he didn't swallow it.
The crude tea that he had long been accustomed to, after swirling it around in his mouth, he spat it out with a look of disgust.
The daughter-in-law came over in a panic: "Father-in-law, is there something wrong with this tea?"
The village chief waved his hand and said, "That's not the case!"
He took a look at his daughter-in-law who married into his family and took care of the family for nearly thirty years.
She is wearing a coarse cloth dress with a few patches on it, but the stitching is very dense, which shows that her daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is good.
Only she has the patch, not the men in the family.
So the village chief kicked his son and ordered:
"Hurry up and wait until tomorrow. Take your wife to the town and buy her some gold and silver jewelry."
"Oh." My son is a good worker, but he seems a bit dull.
Although she saw so much money coming into her account, how could her daughter-in-law, who was used to being thrifty, be extravagant and wasteful?
She quickly refused and said, "You don't need it, father-in-law. I'm so old and I don't have any gold and silver jewelry to wear. I'll save it to hire a teacher for my child."
The village chief frowned and said:
"I want what I want. My family used to have such conditions, and I couldn't help you even if I was poor.
Now that we are about to become prosperous, why not enjoy it?
You don’t have to worry about the teacher’s affairs, I have my own arrangements! "
As he said this, he counted the time and found that it was almost time, so he stood up.
"Just do as I say! I have something else to do, so let's go first!"
After a while, the village chief returned to the ancestral hall with a smile.
He found that Luo Mingye and others were still waiting for him quietly here.
He apologized: "I'm really sorry. The old people in the village are quite old, and they are a little slow in speaking and doing things."
Luo Mingye smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, how is the situation?"
The village chief said: "I asked several old people who still have memories of those things, and found that their memories of your ancestors' appearance are surprisingly consistent. It seems that you are indeed members of my Han family."
Luo Mingye seemed a little excited after hearing the village chief's affirmation.
He held the village chief's hand: "The Han family who have been wandering around have finally found the place where the fallen leaves return to their roots!"
