Chapter 2214 Invitation to the Sword of the Empire! (2)
"This year's invitation letter?" Ye Jianxing was very happy: "Come on, bring it to grandfather!"
Ye Yunxi turned around and handed the invitation letter to Ye Jianxing.
Ye Jianxing took it, turned it on and looked at the light again and again, as if he was confirming something. After reading it, he turned around happily, opened the door of the bookcase, and carefully took out a box, which was full of invitation letters, all from the past.
Ye Jianxing put this letter from today in, then nodded with satisfaction, and then carefully closed the lid.
"Why did grandfather save this?"
Ye Jianxing turned around and saw his granddaughter standing at the door, and smiled and said, "I don't know either, but my ancestors have always existed. Look, this is an invitation letter from the first year of the establishment of the Sword of the Empire more than a hundred years ago, and then we have it every year. Although it may be broken for a while, there will be some in the future. These things have witnessed the rise and fall of our Ye family!"
Hearing this, Ye Yunxi didn't say anything more. Ye Jianxing murmured: "Grandfather is really happy. In fact, the grandfather is content with the 39th position now. It doesn't matter whether he enters the top ten. The 39th position is already the highest position in my grandfather's heart!"
Ye Yunxi said calmly: "Grandfather, sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Your position will never be kept, you can only move forward!"
Can't back down!!
How could Ye Jianxing not know this? He waved his hand and signaled Yunxi to close the door and come in. Ye Yunxi followed his advice and closed the door and sat next to Ye Jianxing.
The old man looked at his granddaughter deeply and said, "Since you don't advance, you'll retreat. Then grandfather will tell you something in advance."
The old man paused and said, "You should remember that I gave you a pill back then, and it is said that it can make people become immortals."
"Remember."
The old man nodded: "That elixir was made by your ancestor's mother. She is a strange person. She can make many elixirs that people in the world cannot make, to enhance physical strength and improve their cultivation. When she was there, the Ye family's rankings made rapid progress, and at the best time, they ranked 11th."
Night cloud stream holds breath and listens.
"At that time, because of her outstanding ability, she once followed the top ten families to go to the sacrificial place.
Your ancestor's mother said that the walls of the sacrifice land were carved with ancient divine beasts, with a total of ten, each corresponding to a family, but only the walls of the first and second families were empty and nothing was found.
But when you say these words, your grandmother seems to know what is on the empty wall. From that year on, your grandmother no longer develops the family business, and the Ye family's ranking has dropped from eleven to 39, and then he has been in a middle-class family all year round."
Ye Yunxi raised his eyebrows.
A place for sacrifice?
Empty wall??
Why did the grandmother no longer move forward after knowing everything, but instead chose to retreat??
A series of questions circling in my mind made Ye Yunxi very puzzled.
Ye Jianxing said: "Grandfather doesn't know what is on the wall. There are some secrets that can only be known if he has enough levels. Grandfather only knows so much. Every generation of the top ten families in the Imperial Sword has to sacrifice to the totem, and they also go to sacrifice to the sacrifice every year. Legend has it that totem chose the family and gave them supreme power, rather than the family choosing the totem.
So, Yunxi, you are mentally prepared. It’s not because you can’t get into the top ten because you are not capable, but because you are blind to the totems!”
It was quite serious at first, but my grandfather's last words made Ye Yunxi laugh. She couldn't help but say, "Well, what my grandfather said is right!"
The old man was also amused and couldn't help but be happy.
