Chapter 3 The current Liu family
Those three people are Liu Donghong, Liu Dongrong and Liu Mingping. But what made Liu Gewen strange was that they were not wearing robes, but the same black robes as themselves. There were no magic element fluctuations on their bodies, and Liu Gewen was sure that they were not the three people he had just met. But how do they look exactly the same? If one person could be a coincidence, but three people would be so strange!
The three of them were also very puzzled when they saw Liu Gewen, and kept looking at Liu Gewen, but no one spoke for a while. Liu Gewen didn't know what the situation was, and he didn't speak.
An old man at the head was the first to speak, and saluted respectfully: "Liu Donghong, the contemporary head of the Liu family in Anling, has seen Liu Gewen Ancestor!"
Liu Gewen felt that this was so familiar? Obviously, he had just heard it once. And judging from what he called himself, it was they who regarded themselves as Liu Gewen, no, they were originally Liu Gewen, but they were not Liu Gewen who they let him do...... Why is it still so awkward!
After being stunned for a moment, Liu Gewen said, "No courtesy." But don't call me Ancestor, call me ...... Call me sir. β
After saying what he had just said again, Liu Gewen felt very awkward, and did not speak again, but looked at the other two.
Liu Donghong didn't use Liu Gewen to speak, and hurriedly took the initiative to introduce: "Sir, these two are the two elders of the Liu family. β
He pointed to the older one and said, "This is the fourth elder of the Liu family, and also my own brother, Liu Dongrong. β
Then he pointed to the young man and said, "This is the fifth elder of the Liu family, and also my eldest son, Liu Mingping. β
It's exactly the same again, Liu Gewen is really depressed.
"Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?"
Liu Gewen directly threw out the question that he thought was an idiot, but he couldn't ask it, although he got some memory fragments, he didn't know much about it and didn't dare to talk more.
Liu Donghong was also stunned after hearing this, it seems that this gentleman has been trapped in it for too long and has lost his memory. There is no choice but to slowly tell what he knows to help the old gentleman recover his memory.
Liu Donghong said: "Sir, I was a genius of my Liu family a thousand years ago, but when you were cultivating in Liu Yuan, there was an accident at the entrance of Liu Yuan, and you lost contact with the Liu family from then on. β
It seems that the memory I got was correct.
Liu Gewen was very curious about this "Liu Yuan" and asked, "What happened to the entrance of Liu Yuan?"
Liu Donghong said: "After the accident, the strong men of the Liu family took a closer look and thought that it was because Liu Yuan had been used for too long and the maintenance was not good, so the entrance collapsed. At that time, most of the Liu family's disciples were cultivating near the entrance, so they escaped from Liu Yuan in time. Only you are left in it. The outside world thought that Liu Yuan's small world had completely collapsed, so the Liu family thought that you were ......"
Although he didn't finish speaking, Liu Gewen knew that people outside must have thought that Liu Gewen, whom they knew, was dead in. However, he is really not in this world now.
Seeing Liu Gewen's solemn expression, Liu Donghong hurriedly added: "However, your parents, that is, Liu Hao and Fang Fang, the two elders, firmly believe that you are still alive, so they have led our group to stay here." β
This Liu Gewen believes that in his own world, his parents are also here to protect themselves, but they are ......
Thinking of this, Liu Gewen hurriedly asked, "What about them?"
Liu Donghong wanted to speak and stopped, as if it was difficult to speak.
Liu Gewen guessed that the parents in this world are likely to have the same ending as their parents in that world. He sighed, calmed down, and said, "Tell me everything that has happened to the Liu family in recent years." β
Liu Donghong knew that he could no longer hide it, so he could only tell everything truthfully:
When Liu Yuan changed, the secret realm could no longer be used, and most of the Liu family members thought that Liu Gewen died in it, and many people proposed to give up this secret room and waterhole. But Liu Gewen's parents did not believe that their son would die and were unwilling to give up. Because they were already powerhouses in the Transformation God Realm, although they were reluctant, the head of the Liu family still agreed that they would lead a branch of the clan to stay in Anling to guard.
Eight hundred years have passed, and the Liu family has forgotten why they live here, and Liu Gewen's parents have also reached the Mahayana realm. And because there are too many people who have risen in a short period of time, the consumption of resources is too great, and because Liu Yuan cannot be used, the cultivation of the younger generation is unfavorable, so the family began to decline, and a large number of God Realm powerhouses left the Liu family for stronger strength, but no one returned.
100 years ago, a mysterious force attacked the Liu family and some branches, and the methods were extremely cruel, which can be said to be massacre. Liu Gewen's parents found out the real culprit, but did not announce it to the public, but led a group of men to attack a secret place in the mountains, but in the end the mountains collapsed and no one survived. The truth is also buried - this is exactly the same as what happened to Liu Gewen's parents in his own world!
After that battle, the Liu family decayed faster, and in the end, it could only marry with the other four major families in the city where the family was located, and the elite of the family were taken away by the four major families, and the Liu family was actually divided by the four major families, leaving only an empty shell. And this branch that remained in Anling to protect the secret realm was also abandoned, and they called themselves the Liu family of Anling.
After listening to their introduction, Liu Gewen stayed there and slowly digested the information. Although there are many differences between this world and my own world, there are also many similarities, such as the Liu family, and even the characters of the Liu family are the same. It seems that I really came to a parallel world?!
Liu Donghong saw that Liu Gewen's face was solemn, and he didn't speak, thinking that he had been immersed in incomparable sadness and anger, and relied on his courage to comfort: "Sir, please mourn." Now that you have returned safely, I believe that the two elders will be very relieved in the heavenly spirits. β
Liu Gewen exhaled deeply and nodded heavily. In fact, he doesn't care very much about the "parents" in this world, after all, they are not raising themselves, but he has the same experience in his own world, and he has deep sympathy for the "Liu Gewen" and his parents in this world.
What he is thinking about now is that the "Liu Gewen" of this world has gone to his own world, and the laws of heaven and earth in the two worlds are different, so he should not be rejected, right? His strength should be retained, right? I don't know if he, a strong cultivator, can exert all his strength in his own world.
More importantly, how will he deal with the Liu family today? Should he also get some of his own memories, know his life experience, and also know the current situation of the Liu family, will he stay in the Liu family? Will he help himself find out the cause of his parents' death?
If he were here, he would be furious, and he would find out who killed his parents. In a sense, now he is him, and he is himself. Then I should find out the truth for him.
However, I just came to this world, and I don't know much about this place, and I don't know if the Anling Liu family in this world can be trusted. What's more, he has not recovered his strength now, let alone understands the power system of this world, and self-preservation is a problem, let alone investigating the truth.
Seeing that Liu Gewen still didn't speak, Liu Donghong hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "May I ask you, sir, how did you return safely after so many years?
Liu Gewen had never been to Liu Yuan at all, how could he know the situation there, and he had just mentioned Liu Yuan in the little memory he had just gotten, and he hadn't digested it yet. can only say: "I have been sleeping for so many years, and when I woke up, I found that I was here, so I don't know the current situation of Liu Yuan." β
Liu Gewen's words are half-true and half-false, but Liu Donghong and the others are convinced. But Liu Gewen saw a subtle hint of disappointment on their faces. He had a guess in his heart, so he asked, "Why, I'm disappointed that I can't enter Liu Yuan again?"
Liu Donghong's old face flushed, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Sir, where did you speak!"
The younger Liu Ming's face was also red, but he immediately said: "Father, in front of Mr., we have nothing to hide." β
Ignoring Liu Donghong's fierce gaze, Liu Mingping said to Liu Gewen: "Don't hide it, sir, the Liu family has declined now, and it can barely be regarded as a third-rate family. If this development continues, it won't be long before the Liu family will lose the status of the Xiuzhen family. Therefore, the Liu family needs the resources in Liu Yuan very much. β
Liu Gewen could understand his mood and liked Liu Ming's straightforward personality, but he could only spread his hands and said: "It's a pity, I really don't know Liu Yuan's situation, and I can't go back there." β
Liu Donghong hurriedly said: "Sir, don't care, it's us who are too demanding!"
Liu Gewen did not answer.
Liu Mingping hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, can you ask about your current realm?"
Liu Gewen didn't hide it eitherβhe couldn't hide it, and said honestly: "I don't have a realm now." β
This result did not surprise them. Because they didn't feel a trace of aura fluctuation in Liu Gewen's body. There are only two possibilities for this, either he doesn't have any cultivation, or his realm is much higher than the three of them. But although Liu Gewen was a genius back then, he was only a minor monk who had just built a foundation, and he had been sleeping for more than a thousand years, and it was impossible to be promoted.
Liu Mingping still muttered to himself suspiciously: "Could it be because Mr. has been asleep for too long, and the aura that has been built has been dissipated again?"
Liu Gewen didn't know anything about Xiuzhen and didn't know how to explain it.
And Liu Dongrong pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it can only be explained like this." However, if you dissipate yourself, as long as it takes some time, the realm of the husband can be restored. β
Hearing his comfort, Liu Gewen could only nod. Recover a fart! Lao Tzu is a saint magister in the whole department, and he doesn't know what bullshit cultivation is at all!
Liu Donghong said: "It's okay, sir, you go back to Liu's house with us first." Although the Liu family has declined now, it still has the ability to let you recover your strength as soon as possible. β
Liu Gewen had no other ideas, so he could only nod in agreement. If you don't know too much about this place, if you don't have the power to protect yourself now, you must leave the Liu family as soon as possible.
Seeing him nodding, Liu Donghong said, "Then Mr. will go back with us now!"
Without waiting for Liu Gewen to speak, Liu Mingping on the side hurriedly said, "Father, you let Mr. go back to Liu's house with us like this?"
Liu Gewen frowned after hearing this, and Liu Donghong and Liu Dongrong's old brothers were also ugly.
Liu Donghong said angrily: "Mingping, don't you want Mr. to go back to Liu's house?"
Liu Mingping knew that a few people had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly explained: "Father, sir, you listen to me slowly. It's not that I don't welcome Mr., it's just that now, many pairs of eyes are staring at our Liu family. If Mr. shows up like this, it will definitely attract the attention of those who care. If they knew the origin of Mr., whether it was Mr. or our Liu family, they would be in trouble. β
Liu Donghong and Liu Dongrong both frowned after hearing this, but obviously agreed with his words. This is a genius of the Liu family a thousand years ago, no matter how low the realm is, he will know a lot of the secrets of the Liu family back then. may be an inconspicuous little thing back then, but now it may be an opportunity.
Especially if he still came out of Liu Yuan's secret realm, he himself said that he had been asleep, and Liu Yuan could no longer enter, but would others believe it? If it weren't for the entrance of the Liu family's secret realm here, if it wasn't for Liu Donghong and the others rushing over as soon as they found out about the abnormality, if it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have a trace of aura fluctuations, if it weren't for the fact that his parents were elders who had made great contributions to the Liu family, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't even have a spatial ring on his body, they wouldn't believe it.
Liu Gewen was also slightly shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Why, there are people who are making trouble for you?"
Liu Mingping didn't care about the word "also" used by Liu Gewen, and said: "Mr. Hui, there are no people who openly trouble my Liu family, but there are a few Xiuzhen families or sects that have suddenly been very attentive to my Liu family in recent years. Nothing to do is courteous or a thief, they should be beating my Liu family's idea. β
Liu Gewen asked suspiciously: "The Liu family has declined, what else is there to worry about outsiders?"
Liu Mingping said: "Sir, after all, my Liu family is a family that inherits the cultivation of ten thousand years, and the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, how can the Liu family leave a lot of precious exercises or treasures - at least many outsiders think so." β
Liu Donghong said on the side: "Sir, I have always said that Liu Mingping is too suspicious. Not to mention that the Liu family has already declined, even in its heyday, our branch is only a side branch, and it is impossible to get too many cultivation resources, let alone the precious exercises or treasures of the Liu family. Even if you want to get these, you should find the head of the Liu family. β
Liu Mingping said: "The head of the Liu family has been annexed by other families, even if there are any good things, they have long been divided by those families, of course no one wants to trouble them." But we have been separated from the main family for many years, and of course it will be considered a soft persimmon. Although many clansmen have forgotten why we are guarding here, some people who know the history of the Liu family can still find out that the Liu family had a secret place here back then, and of course someone will beat our idea. β
Liu Dongrong also said: "Yes, big brother, I also agree with Ming Ping's idea. If you don't say anything else, just say that you respect the gate of heaven, and you must not have a good heart. β
When Liu Gewen heard the "Respect for Heaven Gate", he immediately thought of the "Respect for Heaven Society" in his own world, which was a blatant idea to attack the inheritance of the Liu family, although it was a word missing, but it must also be ill-intentioned towards the Liu family. He asked, "What is the Heavenly Gate?"
Liu Donghong then remembered that this old gentleman had just woken up and didn't know a lot of things, so he hurriedly explained: "Sir, Jingtianmen is a super third-rate sect that has risen rapidly in recent decades. Of course, if in the heyday of the Liu family, this kind of small sect will definitely not be able to enter your eyes. But now the cultivation realm of Yanbei County, where we are located, is in a weak position in the entire continent, and a super third-rate sect can be regarded as a strong party. β
Liu Gewen didn't know anything about the division of power in this world, but from Liu Donghong's tone, it can be seen that the strength of Jingtianmen must be above the current Liu family.
Liu Dongrong said: "Jingtianmen has only a history of more than 300 years, and it has never had any contact with our Liu family, but since a few years ago, it suddenly took the initiative to make friends with my Liu family, and has frequent contacts with many elders and deacons. I secretly inquired, although Jingtianmen did not inquire about any problems with the Liu family's cultivation on the surface, they had been very vaguely inquiring about Liu Yuan's news. β
Liu Mingping answered: "Yes, father, the results of my secret investigation are also like this. Fortunately, most of the current Liu family members don't know about Liu Yuan, and there is nothing to leak. However, the intention of harming others is indispensable, and the desire to guard against others is indispensable. The cultivation world has always been the weak, and we can't help but guard against it!"
After listening to so much, Liu Gewen could already conclude that this "Jingtianmen" was quite a "Jingtianhui" in his own world, and he must have some intentions against Liu Ge, so he said: "Jingtianmen must be guarded against, so it's better for me to hide my identity now." β
Liu Dongrong hurriedly said: "Okay, sir, I just don't know, what identity is more suitable for you?"
Liu Gewen said casually: "Any identity, as long as it allows me to appear in the Liu family reasonably." β
Liu Mingping looked at it and said in contemplation: "My Liu family barely has the strength of a third-rate family now, and one or two more ordinary disciples will not attract the attention of outsiders." Moreover, the gentleman still retains the countenance of sixteen or seventeen years old, if he is willing to deign to be an ordinary brother......"
"No!" Liu Donghong immediately interrupted: "Mr. has a noble status, how can he be an ordinary disciple! When he returns to the Liu family, he must enjoy the treatment of an elder." β
An ordinary disciple over a thousand years old, Liu Donghong didn't dare to accept it.
Liu Mingping said: "But if that's the case, it will attract the attention of those who have a heart!"
Liu Gewen knows his current strength, although he doesn't know much about this world, but in his own world, more precisely, in the era when he was at his peak, he has always respected the strong. He has no strength now, and if he is in his own world, he firmly believes that he can recover his strength. But in this world of cultivation, it is not certain whether you can cultivate or not, and you don't dare to have too many extravagant hopes.
He said: "It's okay, I need to adapt to the current world, just any identity." Moreover, it is easier for ordinary disciples to understand the current world. β
Liu Donghong hurriedly said: "How can that work." If we can't treat Mr. well, we will have no shame to see the two elders, Liu Hao and Fang Fang. β
Liu Mingping said smoothly: "A young man can be treated like an elder, unless he is his father's illegitimate son. β
Liu Donghong was stunned and scolded angrily: "Liu Mingping, what nonsense!"
Liu Gewen secretly raised his forehead, how can people in this world have to find a cheap father for themselves!
But Liu Gewen knows that the current situation is different. I'm just a waste here, and if I want to survive safely, I can only seem to ......
At this time, Liu Dongrong said on the side: "Otherwise, let's just say that Mr. is a distant relative of a branch of our Liu family." β
Liu Mingping said: "There are only a few branches of the Liu family that we often have dealings with, and it is easy to find out the problem if someone is interested in checking it." β
Liu Dongrong said with a smile: "There is a branch that outsiders must not be able to investigate. β
"Which one?" several people looked at Liu Dongrong suspiciously, and asked in unison.
Liu Dongrong smiled evilly and said, "Yanbei Guan Liu family!"
Liu Donghong's old face turned red after hearing this, and Liu Mingping had a malicious smile. Liu Gewen was full of doubts, not knowing why they were like this, Liu Mingping hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, and Liu Gewen immediately realized.
It turned out that Yanbei Pass was the northernmost defensive gate of the Yan country where the Liu family was located, and there was also a branch of the Liu family, their population was very small, and there were no descendants with spiritual roots in the past dynasties, and no one became a monk, just a merchant family, so they cut off contact with other branches, but they had frequent contacts with the Liu family in Anling more than ten years ago.
And the most important thing is that more than ten years ago, the Liu family in Yanbeiguan helped Liu Donghong hide his lover - no wonder Liu Donghong has such an expression. Liu Donghong's lover has passed away for many years, and the Liu family in Yanbeiguan and the Liu family in Anling have gradually lost contact.
Because there was no one cultivating over there, not many people in the cultivation world paid attention to them, if it weren't for Liu Donghong's incident back then, the rest of the Liu family wouldn't know that there was still a Liu family. In recent years, no one has mentioned that incident, and the Liu family in Yanbeiguan has been forgotten again. Arrange Liu Gewen to Liu's house in Yanbeiguan, and it is indeed difficult for others to find out the abnormality.
Liu Donghong coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, and said, "Sir, Yanbei County, where my Liu family is located, borders Di Guo. Not long ago, I don't know why, the border army of Di suddenly launched an attack on Yanbei County, Yanbei Pass was quickly breached, the residents in the city suffered heavy casualties, and only a few people from the Liu family escaped and were rushing to Liu's house in Anling. β
Liu Mingping's eyes lit up and said, "That's not right. Let Sir blend in with them, and no one will doubt it. β
Liu Dongrong said: "Mr. looks very young, after returning to the Liu family, if the eldest brother takes special care of you, and does not explain your identity, and then thinks that Mr. is from the Liu family in Yanbeiguan, everyone will naturally think that Mr. is the eldest brother's ......."
Liu Donghong also blushed after hearing this, and glared at his brother viciously.
Liu Mingping pondered the reliability of this method and said, "Second Uncle is right, and besides, Mr. doesn't need to call my father ...... All we need to do is deign to call my father the head of the house, and my father should call him by his first name, and the rest depends on how we guide. Of course, the gentleman must endure all kinds of gossip. In this way, there will be no doubt about the origin of the gentleman. It's just ...... mother's."
Liu Donghong hesitated, but couldn't think of any other way for a while, and finally said: "I can persuade your mother." It's just that this is too wronged Mr., I'm afraid that Mr. won't want to. β
Of course, Liu Gewen is unwilling to be a son to others, but in the current situation, he needs an identity to hide himself, and if he doesn't accept it, he has to accept it, who doesn't have the strength now!
He nodded and said, "It's nothing, as long as I go back to Liu's house first." After ......"
He really wanted to say that after returning to the Liu family, let them help investigate the cause of death of his parents in this world. But after thinking about it, the current Liu family must not have this strength. What's more, his current strength is low, even if he finds out the truth, what can he do?
Liu Gewen immediately changed his words and said: "Let's see what happens after that." You go back and get ready. β
After listening to Liu Gewen's words, Liu Donghong said: "Then please stay here for a few more days, and we will arrange everything as soon as possible to welcome you back to Liu's house." β
Liu Gewen now wanted to be quiet for himself, sort out his extra memories, and plan what he would do next, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you go first." β
Liu Donghong said again: "Sir, the conditions here are simple, go back and ask Mingping to send you some daily necessities." β
Liu Gewen nodded and waved them away.
