Chapter 192: The Secret of the Chen Family
Liu He was shocked in his heart, although the ancestor of the Chen family spoke in a calm tone, he clearly wanted to tell a shocking secret that the Chen family had never made public in the world for a hundred years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he knows very little about the gangs on the rivers and lakes, especially the famous clans like the Chen family, he has read so many martial arts novels since he was a child, and Liu He naturally understands the truth.
It is said that there are no more than three generations of poverty, no more than three generations of wealth, and the prosperity of a family is often caused by the birth of a genius, and similarly, the decline of a family is also due to the lack of talent.
The same is true of all the families that do business, they have been exposed to it since childhood, and they still don't know the essence of it, let alone a martial arts family that relies more on talent?
No matter how good a family's genes are, it is impossible to guarantee that the next generation can fully inherit that talent, and the Chen family's century-old longevity obviously has another hidden meaning.
And today, what this ancestor of the Chen family wants to say is the real reason why the Chen family has been crowned in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years.
"For thousands of years, almost all the peerless masters on the rivers and lakes have the same wish, that is, they hope to pass on their skills from generation to generation and benefit future generations. However, this kind of thing is very strange, although there are some methods for transmitting gong, but the results are mostly unsatisfactory, and in the best case, they can only inherit the power of their predecessors, and the person who transmits the gong has to take a life. Although some of the gains and losses of this kind of thing outweigh the losses, there are always people who want to try it, until a more unacceptable result appears, and this kind of transmission of merit is almost ignored again. ”
Liu He has seen this kind of transmission of gong many times in the book, and almost all masters will die on the spot after giving their skills to others.
But now, the ancestor of the Chen family said that there is a worse situation than this, this person is dead, what more unacceptable result can be?
"Could it be that the one who receives the power will also die?" Liu He blurted out.
The ancestor of the Chen family nodded, "As I said just now, this kind of thing is very strange, even if it is a close relative of the same lineage, there will be a phenomenon of resistance to each other's skills, and even die on the spot." After many talented young people died one after another because of this, there were few rumors of passing on the merits on the rivers and lakes. However, the ancestors of our Chen family have always been obsessed with this matter, and after persevering for many years, they finally found a way. At first, this method only ensured that the younger generations would not die because of this, but the death of the person who passed on the merit was still inevitable. Until many years ago, a strange person appeared in the clan and improved this method so that the person who passed on the gong could not die because of it after passing the gong, and this feat also changed the fate of my Chen family. ”
Liu He listened carefully, but he didn't know the essence, even if he saved the life of the person who passed on the gong, what was the use?
After passing on the gong, the skill is gone, and even if there is, there are only a few left, and it can almost be said that he is a wasted person, how much impact can such an improvement have on the Chen family?
The ancestor of the Chen family seemed to see Liu He's doubts, "Don't underestimate this improvement, just by virtue of this, my Chen family has stood tall on the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years." ”
Liu He pondered for a moment and hesitated: "I don't understand the skills you said, but I can understand some of the truth." According to my understanding, even if the person who transmits the gong will not die, the skill has already been completely lost, and at most he will only use years of experience to teach the younger generations, but these things can be written down before death, and there is not much meaning. ”
The ancestor of the Chen family smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction, "You are right, on the road of martial arts, it is indeed twice the result with half the effort, but you can write down those experiences for future generations, although the effect is poor, but it is still of great help." But the crux of this matter is not here, let me ask you, why do the people who pass on the gong want to leave all the power to the younger generations? ”
"After passing on the gong, you will die, of course, you have to pass it all at once, and it's useless to keep it." Liu He replied without thinking.
As soon as this sentence came out, Liu He immediately understood the key.
That's right, the person who transmits the gong knows that he will die, of course, he can give as much as he can, but what if he will not die after passing the gong?
"Could it be that only a part of the power has been passed on, and those lost skills can still be recovered?"
Although these are just Liu He's guesses, when you think about it, you still feel very scary.
If this is the case, then wouldn't the Chen family's skills be at least several times more than that of ordinary people after several generations?
But the old ancestor shook his head, "Since the lost power has been given to others, how can we talk about recovering it?" If it's gone, it's gone, and it won't come back on its own. ”
Liu He nodded half-knowingly, sure enough, this kind of overbearing situation will not appear, otherwise who can be the opponent of the Chen family on the rivers and lakes?
However, the next words of the ancestor of the Chen family shocked Liu He beyond measure.
"Although you can't get back the skills you have been given, you can continue to cultivate. Moreover, since the cultivation has reached a certain level, the speed of cultivation will naturally be much faster than when he first practiced martial arts. Sometimes the realm is just a layer of window paper, and after it is pierced, there is no secret to speak of. Thirty years of cultivation when you were young, and when you reach the age of sixty, three years at most, it is enough. My stupid son, in fact, has no talent, over the years, I have passed on a little skill to him when I have nothing to do, but I didn't expect this pass, and there was a failure to pass it on. ”
The head of the Chen family, who was known as the champion of martial arts, had become a stupid son in the mouth of the ancestor of the Chen family at this time.
And all of this is because of the Chen family's unique exercises.
Speaking of his son, the face of the ancestor of the Chen family showed a trace of regret, "You also saw the attitude of those Jianghu people towards my son just now. But how do they know that my son's martial arts will never grow again in this life. ”
Liu He was shocked when he heard this, "Why is this?" ”
The ancestor of the Chen family sighed helplessly, "Talent dictates, people always feel that the level of talent in martial arts is determined by the speed of a person's skill growth, but in fact, it is just standing at the foot of the peak of martial arts. When you really get to the top of the mountain, you will understand that the so-called talent of martial arts has nothing to do with the growth of a person's skills, which is why there are often people on the rivers and lakes who seem to have mediocre qualifications when they are young and are late bloomers when they are old. What is really determined by talent is a person's strength. ”
"The measure is ......," Liu He subconsciously repeated.
The words of the ancestor of the Chen family obviously gave Liu He a new understanding of martial arts, although this understanding is still very vague, but after all, it is said by a senior master who has stood at the peak of martial arts, Liu He naturally wants to know more.
