Chapter 672: The Strength of the Liu Family (Chapter 1)
Knowing that Xu Yinglong was going to ask about the affairs of the Four Great Guardian Families, Tu Gou didn't say anything more about Liu Bowen's affairs, and continued: "Although Liu Bowen has left a great reputation in history, there are really not many people in the cultivation world who know him, and even fewer people know that he is the founder of the Four Great Families!" ”
"Go on!" Xu Yinglong said.
Liu Bowen was not an orthodox monk, and people still don't know what he was taught by, but in his later years, Liu Bowen had three disciples, surnamed Xu, Xiao and Feng. Liu Bowen attaches great importance to these three disciples, not only to teach Taoism, but also to give each of them a precious spiritual weapon, and later these three disciples have created three famous families in the cultivation world, together with the Liu family inherited by Liu Bowen, collectively known as the four major families! Tu Gou said.
Xu Yinglong didn't expect the origin of the four major families to be like this, and it is no wonder that the other major families are tolerant of the Liu family, it turns out that the ancestors owe the Liu family favors, no matter how many generations they inherit, the other three families are a generation shorter in front of the Liu family.
"What does it mean to be guarded? Presumably, these two words were not arbitrary after being named after the country? Xu Yinglong asked again.
It is said that many ninjas and onmyoji of the Wa Kingdom pretended to be ronins to invade the sea frontier of the Ming Dynasty, and those Wakou were strong, and the officers and soldiers of the guard on the edge of the Ming Town were defeated, the city was captured, and the people were slaughtered. At this time, the four major families led by the Liu family rose up to fight back. He led the coastal people to defeat the Japanese invaders, so he was regarded as a protector by the coastal fishermen. After a long time, it has become one of the four guardian families! Tu Gou replied.
"Then do you know how the four families are related to each other?" Xu Yinglong asked again.
"Since hundreds of years ago, the four families have been in close proximity. If one family is in trouble, the other three will do their best to help, and the relationship is extremely close. But in recent decades, for some reason, the relationship between the four families has not been as close as before. Except for the Liu family, who is still active in the cultivation world, the other three major families have basically stopped caring about the world and have become outright hidden families, and it can be said that the four major families have existed in name only. Tu Gou replied.
Although Tu Gou roughly talked about the relationship between these families, he didn't say it in much detail, and many things were not very sure, which was not very helpful to Xu Yinglong. Immediately, Xu Yinglong asked again: "Then how much do you know about the Liu family?" ”
"Liu family is a big family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, living in Qingtian in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for generations, more than half of the fields in Qingtian County before the liberation belong to the Liu family, and more than half of the shops in the county also belong to the Liu family, so the Liu family is also known as the Qingtian Liu family in the local area, a veritable landlord and old wealth. Being rich is just the most intuitive feeling and opinion of the locals about the Liu family, but the vast majority of sects in the cultivation world know that the Qingtian Liu family is a giant that cannot be provoked! ”
"What's the law that can't be provoked? What is so special about this Liu family that can make the major sects in the cultivation world so jealous? Xu Yinglong asked again.
"The Liu family has only been a family heirloom for hundreds of years since the founder of the family, Liu Bowen. But the Liu family is as skilled as a cloud, and they see the general trend very clearly. A few decades ago, the Oriental Japanese invaded China, when most of the country fell, and the Chiang dynasty, which was in power at that time, even lost the country. For a time, many people thought that China was bound to die. In addition, at that time, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions were the first to fall, so many large households in Jiangsu and Zhejiang became accomplices of the Japanese invaders. ”
However, the Liu family, which is a large family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is an exception, although the Japanese invaders were persecuted several times at that time. However, the Liu family was unwilling to cooperate with them, but quietly sent the young adults in the family into Taizu's army to join the army. Later, it turned out that the Liu family did have a unique view of the general trend of the world. In just ten years, Taizu's army has grown from weak to strong. Not only did they defeat the Japanese of the Japanese Kingdom, but later even the Jiang dynasty was destroyed by Taizu, and the Liu family was more powerful because of this investment, and now the Liu family has become a super family across the three worlds of military, politics and business. ”
Then Tu Gou continued: "Now the head of the Liu family is the old man Liu Yong Liu, this person has amazing cultivation and good health, although he is more than one hundred and twenty years old, but he only looks like he is in his fifties. Under Old Man Liu, there are seven second-generation disciples in the Liu family, all of whom are between eighty and one hundred years old, and their cultivation is not weak. The most famous of the second-generation disciples of the Liu family is the old man Liu Deqing, who is the eldest son of Liu Yong and the current de facto head of the Liu family. As for the three generations of disciples, there are more, according to incomplete statistics, there are at least forty of them, among which the more famous ones are Liu Deqing's second son Liu Yongmao and Liu Sanye's eldest son Liu Yonggang. ”
"Then the Liu family should be the one with the highest cultivation, what realm has it reached?" Xu Yinglong asked again.
Tu Gou thought for a while and said: "Of course, the highest cultivation of the Liu family is Liu Yong and Old Man Liu, but Old Man Liu has not made a move for fifty or sixty years, and we don't know what realm he has reached now." However, according to the information collected by our Shadow Gate, Old Man Liu once fought against Tokugawa Taro, the first golden ninja of the Japanese Kingdom, seventy years ago, and killed Tokugawa in just three moves. Later, Old Man Liu, together with the families of the other three major families, led his disciples to block the ninja troops of the Wa Kingdom invading Huaxia, and completely annihilated the super force composed of more than 500 ninjas and onmyoji of the Wa Kingdom in Tiantai Mountain. It is precisely because of the existence of Old Man Liu's existence that although the Japanese army has captured most of the territory of China, they dare not take the Liu family! ”
Xu Yinglong thought about it carefully, the ninjas of the Wa Kingdom are clearly graded, and there are five levels from high to low, which are lower ninja, middle ninja, upper ninja, golden ninja, and divine ninja! Corresponding to the five realms of the Chinese warriors, such as Xianggu, Mingjin, Dark Jin, Congenital, and Jindan, that is to say, that Tokugawa Taro is a ninja in the innate realm, and can be called the first golden ninja, then this person should be the kind of ninja who has half a foot in the realm of Jindan. That old man Liu killed a half-step Jindan-level master in three moves, and his cultivation should indeed not be underestimated!
And Tu Gou has already said just now, this was more than 70 years ago, and now more than 70 years have passed, who knows what kind of terrifying realm this old man has reached. The Jindan realm must be no problem, and Yuanying seems to be possible, but I just don't know if it has broken through to the out-of-body stage.
Moreover, Xu Yinglong knew some of the Liu family's heritage, and Tu Gou thought that Liu Bowen gave the ancestors of the other three families ordinary spiritual weapons, but Xu Yinglong had heard Xiao Ruofeng personally say that the dragon rope was an immortal weapon with a higher level than the spiritual weapon. Since Liu Bowen is willing to give immortal weapons to his disciples, the Liu family will naturally not lack immortal weapons. And Xu Yinglong had also confirmed from Xiao Ruofeng that the Liu family did indeed have a powerful immortal sword, called the Dragon Slaying Sword.
In this way, Xu Yinglong, the combat power of the ancestor of the Liu family, can be regarded as having a certain understanding, and his cultivation is between the Yuan Infant and the out-of-body body, the age is about one hundred and twenty years old, and the qi and blood are vigorous, and there is also a powerful fairy sword. After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yinglong felt that the combat power of the old ancestor of the Liu family should be on par with that of the Void Old Dao of the Kunlun Sect, and even stronger.
Originally, Xu Yinglong still thought that if he couldn't get what he wanted to know here in Tu Gou, then he would go to Liu's house. Back then, Liu Yongmao led a lot of trouble for the Xiao family, and even almost wiped the Xiao family from the Chinese cultivation world, and as the grandson of the Xiao family, and the son of Xiao Ruoying, it was only natural for the Xiao family and his mother to find justice.
It's just that Xu Yinglong didn't expect the strength of the Liu family to be so strong, and it would be difficult for an old man Liu to entangle, not to mention that there are so many second- and third-generation disciples in the family. And Tu Gou also said just now that the four guardian families are connected, although Xu Yinglong knows that the relationship between the Xiao family and the Liu family has become a fire and water, but he can't be sure that the Liu family and the other two families are also in trouble. If the Xu family and the Feng family did not fall out with the Liu family, then the strength of the Liu family would be even stronger.
However, Xu Yinglong is a very tough person, and he belongs to the kind of person who knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the tiger mountains. I didn't know that the Liu family was so bullish before, but now that he knows, he has to take a look. Mother ran away from home with the treasure of Xiaojia Zhenzong to bundle the dragon rope in order to avoid this Liu family, if his mother was still alive, Xu Yinglong believed that she should always pay attention to herself. If he solves the Liu family by himself, presumably his mother should show up to see him.
So Xu Yinglong decided to take time to go to Liu's house, not only did he want to go, but he also wanted to go blatantly. Not only did he want all the monks in the Huaxia cultivation world to know that he was Xiao Ruoying's son, but he also wanted his mother in the shadows to see how he avenged her!
