Chapter 3 Recalling the past, still water flows in Mochizuki City
On October 15, the morning of this day, the sun is shining, and the sun is quietly falling from the east, announcing the beginning of a new day, and everything is awakening, bringing new vitality and vitality. Mochizuki City became lively, and merchants, monks, and Confucian scholars all began their new expeditions. Liu Chen walked out of the room and breathed in the morning air, he knew that today would be a difficult day for him and her, facing an unknown and unknown fate, where would he go?
At the family gathering, the elite gathered, but the older generation did not see anyone. All this is because of the Mochizuki Castle Rebellion thirty years ago, that time, Mochizuki Castle was almost destroyed, there are many legends about this incident, but the only thing that is certain is that the source of that accident is the east of Mochizuki Castle, in the boundless East China Sea. In this way, the Shizusui River flows quietly through the center of Mochizuki Castle and finally converges in the East China Sea. The reason why still water gets its name is because it is impossible to see its flow with the eyes, only when the object floats on it, can you observe a trace of his trajectory, there is no lack of precipitous terrain in Mochizuki City, but even the occasional waterfall is extremely quiet, like a scene hanging quietly on the cliff, it has never changed in the endless years, some people have explored the source of still water, but unexpectedly found that when the still water river left Mochizuki City, it returned to the appearance of the normal river, and there was no such strange scene as in Mochizuki City。
Some people say that a long time ago, there was a god who wept here, and her tears fell in the still water, which carried her sorrows, so this strange scene appeared, and some people said that there was a magical treasure hidden here, which affected the world and blinded people's perception to make the still water look like this, and of course some people went deep into the still water and searched carefully, but found nothing. Why is still water like this, the truth has long been buried in endless history, and there is no way to verify. The still water flows through Mochizuki Castle and eventually converges in the East China Sea.
According to the older generation, a group of strange creatures came across the East China Sea and launched an extremely terrifying attack on Mochizuki City, and on that day, the sky was extremely dark, and a monstrous torrent swept Mochizuki City, and tens of millions of families lost their loved ones in this chaos.
In the end, all the strong people in the city put aside their past enmity and gathered together, that battle, many young heroes fell in this catastrophe, that day, blood stained the sky, human life in such a catastrophe seems extremely weak, although the number of strange creatures is not as many as Mochizuki City, but each is extremely good at fighting, Mochizuki City gradually lost the enemy, that day, there are even great supernatural powers rolled up endless waves to Mochizuki City, this battle took several months, Mochizuki City this side was defeated and retreated to the Qianren Peak, Liu Chunfeng and Mu Qingluan formed a brotherhood in this battle。
According to Liu Chunfeng's description, that day, the strange creatures harnessed the endless waves to press towards Moon City, Liu Chunfeng and they retreated to the bottom of Qianren Peak, in the face of such a great force, Liu Chunfeng They felt bitter, such a realm was irresistible to them. At the moment of despair, a white brilliance rippled out from the sky, turning into a white light curtain covering the entire Mochizuki City, all attacks were blocked, and the heavens and the earth seemed to echo with a soft sigh, as if a soul that had been sleeping for thousands of years woke up from its confusion, exuding an aura that shocked all beings. At this moment, all the wind and waves quietly retreated, and as far as the white light could reach, all the strange creatures turned into nothingness as if they had encountered the scorching sun. The sun radiated its light again, and Mochizuki City regained its tranquility, if it weren't for the wounds on their bodies and their deceased relatives and friends, Liu Chunfeng would almost have thought it was a dream.
Although Mochizuki Castle survived, Mochizuki Castle was greatly damaged.
If the most bizarre and terrifying thing in the world should be the years, time passes quietly, not subject to human will, I don't know how many great people can only sigh in the face of it.
Time passes, fifty years have passed, and the young generation of Mochizuki City has begun to bloom their brilliance, Liu Chen is one of the eye-catching ones, of course, that is the glory of today, after today, everything may be different.
Under the Qianren Peak, in the meeting hall, there was a lot of people, if it was before, there would definitely be many young generations around Liu Chen around him like stars and moons, praising his talent, the quasi-son-in-law of the first big family in Mochizuki City, the young master of the Liu family, these halos make people of the same generation envious and jealous. But now, only his father, second uncle, second aunt and cousin Liu Xu are left by his side, and there would have been two younger sisters, Liu Chen thought so.
Thinking of those two younger sisters, Liu Chen felt that his mood was a little clearer, and he thought that if the two of them were here at this moment, they would definitely stand by his side like his father, second uncle, second aunt, and eldest brother, and help him through thick and thin.
Thinking of Liu Xiaosu, the daughter of the second uncle, the second uncle gave her this name in the hope of having a quiet and elegant daughter, but unfortunately, until now, Liu Xiaosu has always gone her own way, she once dismantled one of the second uncle's robes that he loved very much, just to make a bird's nest for the birds in the tree. She once secretly hid her second aunt's hairpin so that her second aunt could find it.
Of course, she had also done many things that made Liu Chen difficult to look back on, for example, she would replace the spirit stone in his pocket with a stone when Liu Chen was not paying attention, and that day was the day when Mu Yuyan was in a bad mood and pulled Liu Chen to Mingxiang Pavilion to drink.
As a result, Liu Chen and the drunk eldest lady Mu Yuyan were ruthlessly detained by the ruthless second brother, even if they were all famous figures in Mochizuki City, the second brother did not leave the slightest face, and threatened to publicize the matter, forcing Liu Chen to almost sell himself into slavery and work to pay off his debts, if Qing Yi didn't come in time, the consequences would be unimaginable. Back home, Liu Chen pulled out Liu Xiaosu, who was smiling proudly on the side, and was preparing a large amount of ideological education, however, the child opposite looked very innocent, as if Liu Chen was the heinous villain, and she pointed to the bag of spirit stones on Liu Chen's table. Liu Chen was speechless, so he had to sneak to the corner of the wall, holding his head in his hands, sobbing silently, and sighing that he was unfair.
Qingyi is Liu Chen's other sister, of course, Liu Chunfeng only has one wife, Liu Chen's mother. Qingyi is the child that Liu Chunfeng brought back from outside, that day, Liu Chunfeng walked by the Jingshui River at night, and suddenly saw an incredible magnificent scene on the edge of the still water, the colorful halo was faintly swirling, the center of the halo seemed to have a divine voice chanting, it seemed to be an ancient spell echoing, and it was like a soul lost for thousands of years was calling, still water, usually calm without a little wave, but at this time it was also a little gentle fluctuation, Liu Chunfeng involuntarily walked over, saw a mysterious baby girl, she was sleeping quietly, and the colorful halo swirled around her, like a flower。
She held a pair of colorful jade butterflies in her hands, lifelike and exuding a colorful halo, illuminating the world. Perhaps it was the approach of Liu Chunfeng that woke her up, she opened her eyes, their eyes were as clear as water, and the visions around her gradually dissipated as she woke up.
Liu Chunfeng brought this girl home and cultivated her name Qingyi as her own daughter. Qing Yi was very confused, often following Liu Chen, unconditionally believing in any decision made by Liu Chen. However, Liu Xiaosu was very close to her, and that was because of one thing, one night, Liu Xiaosu sneaked into Qingyi's room and took away her clothes, and Qingyi couldn't go out early the next morning, until the second aunt went to check and found out the truth of the matter. That day, in the face of Qing Yi's weeping eyes, everyone was angry, and they all looked at Liu Xiaosu reproachfully, at this moment, Liu Chen was full of spirit, and he only felt that at this time he seemed to be incarnated as a god of justice, and all the grievances he had brewed were released, turning into a declaration of education, he went from respecting the old to loving the young, from catching dogs to catching chickens, from going up the mountain to going down to the sea, from ancient times to the present. Just when Liu Chen felt fluttering in himself, he only heard an aggrieved voice in his ear: "Second brother, why don't you always treat me?" Liu Chen was stunned, only to see Liu Xiaosu's face aggrieved, with tears and sadness, Liu Chunfeng around them stared at Liu Chen angrily, and even Qing Yi blamed him. Liu Chen only felt that he had become the unscrupulous brother he was most unaccustomed to bullying the young, and it was the kind that could not atone for his sins in death. At that moment, Liu Chen almost wanted to die in the still water, so he rushed out of the door. Liu Xiaosu in the house said: "I bet he will come back soon." The next moment, Liu Chen rushed in, and he said to everyone: "I think it's hard for me to atone for my sins, if I die like this, it won't be useful, I'm still not dead." Come back and make amends to the third sister. Everyone was amazed. Since then, maybe Liu Xiaosu thinks that Liu Chen is the biggest enemy, under her stick and sweet words, Qingyi has become her subordinate, and Liu Chen's life is very sad. Later, according to Qingyi, if it wasn't for her conscience that day, Liu Chen would probably really sell himself in Mingxianglou to pay off his debts, after hearing this, Liu Chen held his head in his hands, went to the corner and squatted, and then
Fortunately, they went to Daddy's master these days, if they were, they would definitely be very sad, oh no, Qingyi is sure to cry her nose, and Liu Xiaosu will probably say: Who made you unbeatable on weekdays, you will be punished! Liu Chen thought. He touched the piece of jade butterfly in his arms, which belonged to Qing Yi, I don't know which fortune teller told Qing Yi that this jade butterfly had an interesting function of warding off evil spirits, and Qing Yi felt that Liu Chen had always had bad luck so he separated the pair of jade butterflies, and she and Liu Chen each held half of it. Liu Chen gently stroked the jade butterfly, and there was a hint of warmth from this jade butterfly, until Liu Chen's heart.
"Behold, he is Liu Chen, the one who made Mu Yuyan a living dead. Someone said.
One after another eyes shot over, either indifferent, or gloating, and so on.
"Liu Chen. A voice shouted.
Liu Chen turned around and found that it was the little second brother of Mingxianglou, this little second brother's name is He Yusheng, not a simple character, it is rumored that it is because of the young owner of Mingxianglou who came to this Moon City. It's a pity that although Liu Chen is also a frequent visitor here, he has never seen this young landlord. The second brother, He Yusheng, walked over, patted Liu Chen's shoulder, and said, "Although your affairs have been rumored through ups and downs, I still think that you are not this kind of person." Liu Chen's heart warmed, and he only felt that the hateful face of the little second brother had become cute. Looking up again, the little second brother has already walked to the side of Mingxianglou, the background of Mingxianglou is mysterious, although it has only risen for a few decades, no one dares to underestimate it, and now it is a first-class force.
The time of waiting is always the most worrying, and in the midst of this, there is a circle of people with complex minds pointing at you, the feeling can be imagined, Liu Chen is exactly like this at this time.
