Chapter 703: The Secret History of the Family
Seeing that Ming Jiutian didn't mind what happened back then, Ming Xiao also nodded with a look of relief.
"I'm very relieved that you can think like this, now that the war is about to start again, there will be a lot of tablets added here" Mingxiao sighed, seemingly worried.
The big war, it's the big war, I asked it when I first heard these two words in the ninth day of the Ming Dynasty, but after asking a lot of people, others either didn't tell him, or told him that he would know when the time came.
So until now, Ming Jiutian has not figured out what this so-called war refers to.
"That's... Sixth Ancestor, let me interrupt, since I just stepped into the ranks of cultivation, I have heard people mention this war many times, and asked many people, but there has been no answer, but who is this war fighting against, is it the demon race? Ming Jiutian really couldn't help but want to ask this question.
"Don't call me the Sixth Ancestor at home, just call the patriarch, it's right for them not to tell you, because you may not be involved in this issue at that time, although over the endless years, the human and demon races have experienced many wars, but the real big war refers not to them, but to another realm outside the Nine Realms, which we usually call the Tenth Realm," Mingxiao explained.
The Tenth Realm?
This was completely beyond Ming Jiutian's cognition, according to what he had learned before, such as the elusive Chaos Yuan Spirit Mixed Yuan.
Anyone with a little common sense in the Upper Realm knows that Mixed Yuan is recognized as the Lord of the Nine Realms.
But now that there is a tenth realm, could it be that there is another world beyond the control of the mixed element? Ming Jiutian thought to himself.
"Six... Belch... Patriarch, what do you mean, this Tenth Realm seems to be very difficult to deal with? Ming Jiutian asked tentatively.
"It's not just difficult to deal with, under the same realm of the people of the Tenth Realm, we need to pay the price of five people to barely reach a tie with the battle, and the outstanding people in the Tenth Realm, even if we are seven to one, eight to one, we still can't win, but fortunately, their number is not very many, with the current strength of our human race, we can still fight" Speaking of these, Mingxiao couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Ming Jiutian also felt a little chill down his spine when he heard this, with Ming Jiutian's understanding of his own strength, he had not tasted defeat at the same level.
Even if the strength is a little higher than him, he has defeated many people, and this kind of record is enough to be proud of the others.
But I didn't expect that in front of the people of this so-called tenth realm, it was as simple as a child peeing and thin mud, one against eight, such an exciting thing, Ming Jiutian asked himself if he had tried it yet.
"Sometimes I really don't understand, just like the Demon Realm, they want to get a piece of the Terran territory when they have nothing to do, and this Tenth Realm is actually idle and bored staring at the Terran territory, how good it is to stay well, what's the point of fighting around" Although Ming Jiutian likes to fight, he is really disgusted with war in his bones.
"This is different, the Tenth Realm has opened the space channel to the Nine Realms since the first contact with the Nine Realms, and the battle made the Nine Realms almost completely wiped out, the demon people are not civilized, and they only want to blindly escape when they encounter danger, so they keep an eye on the territory of the Terrans, and the Tenth Realm, they don't care what the demons or the Terrans, in their eyes, only they are orthodox, we are just ants in their eyes, this is a battle for ideas" Ming Xiao further explained for Ming Jiutian.
In terms of ideological competition, Ming Jiutian was shocked when he heard this, there are still such people in the world?
It seems that this so-called Eight Achievements of the Great War is caused by the people of the Tenth Realm who are more extreme in their thinking.
But then I think about it, whether it is the human race or the demon race, their only purpose is to respect the strong, and it is estimated that at this point, the tenth realm is still surpassed.
"And what are these in front of you?" Ming Jiutian asked with the tablets of the Ming family in front of him.
"They are all the sons of the Ming family who have fought and died in battles with the Tenth Realm over the years, although the Tenth Realm has not yet made a major attack, but sporadic battles still occur from time to time in the area where the two realms converge, and all kinds of signs indicate that the people of the Tenth Realm are planning a bigger move" Ming Xiao said with some concern.
Sure enough, it seems that Ming Jiutian guessed correctly, and the Ming family members who were enshrined in the ancestral hall were all heroic spirits who died in the battle with the Tenth Realm.
It's no wonder that there are so many high-ranking guards here at all times, and even important combat meetings are held here.
But for some reason, it is said that Jiutian is very tired of war in his bones, but after listening to what the Sixth Ancestor Mingxiao said, he has a desire for this war.
Especially the people of the Tenth Realm, if they are really as strong as the Six Ancestors said, then Ming Jiutian really wants to try it.
"So, it won't be long before these people from the Ming family in front of them will go to the forefront of the big war again?" Ming Jiutian's heart was also very heavy.
"Yes, I believe you have also seen it on the way here, the people of the Ming family are still martial, this is the rule left by the ancestors, in other words, the existence of the Ming family is to resist the invasion of the tenth realm, and the Ming family is not very interested in the disputes in the outside world, which is also the fundamental reason why the Ming family is highly respected in the Supreme Emperor Domain" Ming Xiao replied, which can be regarded as an explanation of the previous question.
It turns out that this is the case, Ming Jiutian nodded secretly when he heard this, no wonder, how could such a family that was bent on blocking the tenth realm not be respected by the human race, thinking of this, many questions in Ming Jiutian's heart were also relieved.
"Oh, by the way, I have something here, it's time to return it to the patriarch," Ming Jiutian said and handed over the scorching sword that Ming Xiao had used when he was in the Xuanxin Continent.
"It's the scorching sword, it's really nostalgic."
Sixth Ancestor Mingxiao took the scorching sword and rubbed it happily and repeatedly, as if he had obtained some treasure.
"Of course, the name of East Mingxiao and West Luo Yao, no one knows in the Xuanxin Continent" Ming Jiutian also laughed.
"You know this, but you only know one and don't know the other, and there is also the South Tong and the North Cui Yi behind" The sixth ancestor Mingxiao also seemed to recall the past of the year, and said a lot for a while.
"Wouldn't it be simply a pleasure for the four of you to get together?" It can't be such a coincidence, Ming Jiutian asked with a surprised expression.
"Haha... It's such a coincidence, at that time, the name of our four brothers in the rivers and lakes was this, but it was just a homonym, haha... Is there any alcohol? How can you do without wine in such a happy moment? "In the depths of love, the sixth ancestor Mingxiao had to drink under the excitement.
Drink?
At this point, it is really like the Ming family, it is necessary to drink, and Ming Jiutian also took out two jars of his daughter Hong, which he had treasured for many years, and immediately drank one jar for one person.
"This is my daughter Hong, I haven't drunk it for many years, it's really happy" Sixth Ancestor Mingxiao's mood today can be said to be very happy.
In the ancestral hall of the Ming family, there is a difference of six generations between the old and the young, and the two have talked a lot about things on the Xuanxin Continent.
Listening from afar, the laughter of the old and the young came from time to time, which made the distance between the two people who had just met a lot closer.
I don't know if a jar of wine is because I drank too much, so I have to take off a piece of something like a talisman around my neck and hang it around Ming Jiutian's neck.
No matter how Ming Jiutian excused himself, it was useless, looking at the posture of the sixth ancestor Ming Xiao, Ming Jiutian could only hang on his neck very unkindly.
It was already late at night, and the sixth ancestor Mingxiao left the ancestral hall first on the grounds that he had drunk too much, and arranged for someone to take Ming Jiutian to his resting place.
After arriving at the place, I learned that the place where he was arranged was actually living with his grandfather, a complex of buildings that seemed to be quite large.
