Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

Liu Gewen lay upright on the ground, his eyes looking directly at the ceiling of the secret room, his mind was still a mess, and countless grass and mud horses were running in his heart! Did I sleep for too long or too long? Or am I still dreaming? There is such an idiotic question in my head.

Who am I?

Of course, I am the number one wizard in the Pingyu Continent for thousands of years, Liu Gewen, and it took less than six hundred years to become the eighth all-line Holy Demon Master in the history of the entire continent. Not to mention the admiration of hundreds of millions of people, it is also a demon that makes countless people envious, jealous and hateful.

Where am I?

I'm next to a mysterious waterhole in the Liu family, a magician family. As for why he was here, it wasn't because he was too proud back then, he didn't listen to his parents' advice, and he failed to forcibly advance to the Fa God, not only was the magic spring sealed, but his body also began to fall apart, so he was arranged by his parents to sleep in a mysterious waterhole in the family's secret room.

What am I doing?

I'm wondering why I haven't regained the strength of the Holy Magister. Didn't my parents say that as long as I slept here for more than five hundred years, I would regain the strength of the Holy Demon Master when I woke up? However, why was the magic spring in my heart still wrapped in a black mist, and I couldn't communicate at all, and I couldn't use any magic elements?

Although his parents were only from the side branch of the Liu family, they had already been promoted to the Holy Demon Master, and their status in the family was not low, so there should be nothing wrong with the family secrets they obtained!

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so Liu Gewen could only withdraw his thoughts first and ask clearly when he saw his parents. I've woken up, they should already know that they'll be coming soon, right?

Liu Gewen didn't know how long he had been asleep, although his body had been restored, he didn't listen to his control for a while, and his parents didn't come, so he could only continue to lie down and slowly regain control of his body.

After calming down, Liu Gewen focused his attention on his right thumb, and kept chanting silently in his heart: "Cute thumb, move it! Cute thumb, move it......!"

After lying down for almost half an hour, his thumb finally moved slightly. Liu Gewen exhaled deeply, and he finally slowly regained control of his body. After nearly two hours, Liu Gewen finally sat up reluctantly, moving his stiff and weak body while turning his head to look around at the secret room where he was.

The secret room is actually a cave of more than ten square meters, and the entrance of the cave has been sealed by huge stones. There are also a lot of stalactites hanging on the top of the cave. The walls are painted with shimmering patterns, illuminating the Secret Room. In the center of the cave is a two-square-meter waterhole that looks unremarkable.

Liu Gewen observed his newly recovered body. It should not be called recovery, but rather remodeling. He had lived for almost six hundred years when he tried to impact the Fa God, and he had been asleep for I don't know how many years, so he could be said to be an old monster.

But now, his skin is delicate, every cell is full of vitality, and he is completely like the body of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. Reluctantly turning his body, he stretched his head towards the waterhole beside him, and looked at his own reflection in the pool, and his face was exactly sixteen years old. Liu Gewen sighed, with mixed feelings. I just don't know if I can start practicing magic again.

He tried to sense the magic elements around him, and his heart was shocked, the magic elements in this secret room should be extremely rich, how did it become so thin? It was not much different from ordinary densely populated and heavily polluted big cities. What's even more strange is how the secret room is still filled with an energy that he has never seen.

Could it be that the world has changed? What's even stranger is why his parents haven't come yet? Just as he was wondering, a wave of magic suddenly came from the boulder blocking the entrance to the secret room.

Liu Gewen turned his head to look, and the surface of the hard boulder suddenly rippled like the surface of the water, and the three of them walked out in turn. They were all dressed in black mage robes embroidered with the Liu family's insignia, one of them was less than thirty years old, and the other two were both over fifty years old.

Liu Gewen looked at the three people, although they didn't know each other, but the one who could come here must be the core figure of the Liu family. It's just that the fluctuation of the magic elements on their bodies is very weak, indicating that their realm is not high.

Although he can't use the magic spring now, and he can't cast magic, fortunately, his spiritual power is still strong, and although he has also been downgraded, he still has the level of an intermediate magician, and it is easy to see their realm. Moreover, the stars embroidered on the Liu family badge on their robes also proved Liu Gewen's judgment.

There is only one star on the Liu family badge of the young man's robe, which means that he is only a trainee magician, and the two old men also only have two stars, and they are only junior magicians. The Liu family's current strength is too bad! As a family of magicians who have been inherited for thousands of years, the core characters only have such a little realm? If the old guys in the grave knew, they would definitely be angry, and then they would be angry to death again!

Liu Gewen looked at the three people suspiciously, and the three of them were also looking at the "young man" in front of them, and their hearts were full of doubts. Shouldn't it be an old monster of more than a thousand years old lying here? Why does it look like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old? Could it be that he has the art of rejuvenation?

The three of them were a little suspicious of the identity of the person in front of them, but this was the secret room of the Liu family's inheritance for ten thousand years, and now the Liu family knew that there were only three people here, and it was impossible for anyone else to mix in. And the Liu family badge on the chest of this "young man's" black robe is embroidered with six stars, which is the symbol of the Holy Demon Master. It should be the one who is right, but this age ......

An old man at the head was the first to come back to his senses and saluted respectfully: "Liu Donghong, the contemporary head of the Liu family in Anling, has seen Liu Gewen's ancestor!"

The two behind him also hurriedly saluted respectfully, but did not speak.

Liu Gewen frowned after hearing this. Although he had lived for hundreds of years before he fell asleep, he was probably a thousand years old if he had been asleep. But being called an ancestor is still very uncomfortable, especially since he looks only sixteen or seventeen years old now, and the other party is an old man, which is really unacceptable.

After being stunned for a moment, Liu Gewen said, "No courtesy." But don't call me Ancestor, call me ......"

When the words came to his mouth, Liu Gewen suddenly stopped. He likes to be called His Highness the Holy Demon Master the most, and he was always called this before he fell asleep. But now, he can't communicate with the magic spring, can't cast magic, and isn't even a trainee magician, how can he be called a holy magician!

He hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Hmm...... It's better to call me sir. Who are the two of them?"

Liu Donghong hurriedly introduced: "Mr. Hui, these two are the two elders of my Liu family. ”

He pointed to the older one and said, "This is the fourth elder of the Liu family, and also my own brother, Liu Dongrong. ”

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." ”

Liu Gewen looked at the two of them and said casually: "The strength of a few of you is too weak, right?"

He was very suspicious that these two people could become elders because they were related to Liu Donghong. Especially that Liu Mingping, not to mention his age, he turned out to be just a trainee magician. But it's not right to think about it, this head of the family is only a junior magician.

Listening to his words, the faces of the three of them were not good-looking, and this gentleman spoke too directly!

The two old men could still calm down, but Liu Mingping, who was the youngest, said angrily: "Sir, it's not that we are weak, but that you have slept too long, and now the times have changed." ”

The two old men beside him had ugly faces, although his grandfather had not yet been born when this gentleman was asleep, but the rumors left by his ancestors said that this was a peerless genius back then, very proud, and had a very bad temper, and he would hurt people at every turn. If his strength recovers and he makes a move in a fit of anger, the realm of the three of himself will not even be able to parry a finger from others.

Liu Gewen didn't care about his attitude, but paid more attention to the information contained in his words, and asked, "What year is it, what month and what day is it? How long have I slept?"

Liu Donghong was afraid that his son would say the wrong thing again, so he hurriedly said: "This year is May 1, 5014 in the Demon Yuan calendar, and you have been sleeping for 417 years. ”

Liu Gewen thought about it, it turned out that he had only slept for a little more than four hundred years, and his magic spring was not unsealed, was it because he didn't sleep enough time?

Then he asked Liu Mingping again: "You just said that the world has changed now, what has become of it?"

Liu Mingping said: "In the past four hundred years, for unknown reasons, the magic elements on the Pingyu Continent have been rapidly depleted, and the magicians have also begun to decline. Up to now, the magic element has been extremely thin, and it is no longer enough to support the cultivation of high-level magicians. Therefore, most people have given up on cultivating magic, and low-level magicians like us are already rare. ”

Liu Gewen frowned when he heard this. When he started to cultivate, the magic elements on the continent had already begun to become thin, but at that time, the vast majority of magicians believed that the magic elements on the continent were enough to support nearly 10,000 years. Unexpectedly, after I fell asleep, the trend of decline accelerated. Just now, I already felt that the magic elements in the secret room were very thin, but I didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

But Liu Gewen felt that something was wrong, and asked, "There are many powerful Holy Demon Masters in the mainland, and there are also many Dharma Gods, what about them?"

Liu Mingping said disdainfully: "They left the Pingyu Continent one after another more than two hundred years ago. ”

Liu Gewen frowned again and asked, "What about those strong people of the Liu family?"

Liu Mingping snorted coldly and said, "They are the first families to leave the mainland. ”

Liu Gewen was surprised in his heart, his parents have not come to see him until now, have they also left? Will they also abandon themselves? He asked worriedly: "What about my parents?"

Liu Donghong's face was embarrassed and he didn't know how to speak. Liu Gewen's heart tightened, and he pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, tell the truth." They also left with the other powerhouses of the family, right?"

Liu Donghong hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's not what Mr. thought, Liu Hao and Fang Fang, the two ancestors, didn't leave with the family back then. ”

Liu Gewen was even more strange, his parents didn't leave, why didn't they come to see him? Could it be that they ......

Liu Donghong's following words verified his guess: "The two ancestors died in battle!"

Liu Gewen's brain slammed, and he almost fell asleep again. Although he had already guessed, he still had difficulty accepting the fact that his parents were dead, and his mind was in turmoil. Before he fell asleep, his parents had already become Holy Demon Masters, and it was not a big problem to live another thousand years, and their combat effectiveness was also among the best among the Holy Demon Masters, who could defeat them? I don't know what happened to the Liu family during the time I was asleep.

After a long while, Liu Gewen tried to calm down and said, "Tell me, what has happened in the past few hundred years? ”

Liu Donghong didn't dare to hide it, so he could only tell everything he knew: "About 200 years after Mr. fell asleep, the magic elements of the Pingyu Continent were about to be exhausted, and the head of the Liu family after a fierce debate, finally like most families in the continent, nearly a hundred Holy Demon Masters led by more than a dozen law gods, as well as many genius children, left the Pingyu Continent with most of the family's cultivation resources. Only Liu Hao and Fang Fang, the two ancestors, that is, Mr.'s parents, stayed because they missed you. ”

Hearing this, Liu Gewen was very moved. If you change to yourself, you will not give up on your parents.

Liu Donghong continued: "But because the strength of the remaining family members is very weak, the Liu family is declining rapidly. Because there were not enough resources, many people in the Liu family suggested giving up this secret room. But your parents are the only two Holy Demon Masters left by the Liu family, and at their insistence, there is a branch of the Liu family, that is, ours, which stayed here, but slowly cut off contact with the main family. Because we are located in Anling, we call ourselves the Liu family of Anling. ”

Hearing this, Liu Gewen understood why Liu Donghong claimed to be the Liu family in Anling just now.

Liu Donghong said: "Because the strength is too low, the main family of the Liu family was quickly annexed by other families, but many branches are unwilling to be annexed and independent from the main family, including our branch. ”

Liu Gewen sighed in his heart after hearing this. Although there are still many branches, the main family has been annexed, and the Liu family on the Pingyu Continent has actually perished. It is really sad that a family that has been inherited for 10,000 years should be destroyed in this way!

Liu Donghong continued: "Nearly a hundred years later, there is a mysterious force that has attacked some branches of the Liu family that have long been independent, and the methods are extremely cruel, which can be said to be massacre. Liu Hao and Fang Fang, the two ancestors, were very angry, and after many efforts, they finally found out the real culprit, but they did not announce it to the outside world, but led the strong men of all branches of the Liu family to attack a secret place in the deep mountains, but in the end, the entire deep mountains collapsed, and no one survived. ”

Hearing this, Liu Gewen gritted his steel teeth, he wanted to know who attacked the Liu family, so he asked, but Liu Donghong shook his head and said: "The two ancestors did not tell the rest of the Liu family who attacked the Liu family. At that time, the Liu family had already declined, and it had lost so many strong people, and it was no longer able to track down the black hand behind it. Fortunately, for more than 100 years, the branches of the Liu family have not been attacked again. ”

Liu Gewen guessed that the other party must also have a great background, and his parents were afraid that it would be dangerous for other people in the Liu family to be involved, so they didn't let too many people know. But he believed in the strength of his parents, they did not come back alive, but the other party must have suffered heavy losses. Even if they don't die together, it will take hundreds of years for the other party to recover, which is why the Liu family has had such a peaceful life for such a long time.

Liu Donghong continued: "More than 100 years have passed, and today, because the magic element is extremely thin, the magicians in the mainland have declined, and the Liu family, like other families, most people have given up becoming magicians, and only me and a few elders still insist on cultivating magic, but the realm is very low, and it is an empty realm, and the real combat effectiveness is very poor. Today's Anling Liu family no longer needs to be called a magician family. ”

Liu Gewen also understood why the realm of these so-called family heads and elders was so low.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Donghong still explained very honestly: "Sir, because the Liu family's strength is limited now, and the magic materials are too rare and expensive today, we are no longer able to provide energy to the secret room like hundreds of years ago, and we are not sure if your early awakening has something to do with this." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Donghong was also a little frightened. Liu Mingping's face was obviously ugly, and he thought that his father should not tell the truth so early, and hurriedly explained: "Sir, our Anling Liu family has not given up on you, and is still working hard to collect all kinds of materials for you, but those things are too difficult to find. ”

But to their surprise, Liu Gewen didn't blame them, or even ignored them, but pondered something.

After listening to Liu Donghong's introduction, Liu Gewen finally had a general understanding of the events of the past 400 years. Of course, he was not happy that he had woken up early and not recovered his realm, but he also believed that these people had done their best. And now, what he is most concerned about is who killed his parents, and he must find out. However, his strength has not recovered now, and he has no ability at all, so he can only rely on the current Anling Liu family.

Calming down his anger, he asked Liu Donghong: "I want to investigate the cause of my parents' deaths, are you willing to help me?"

Liu Donghong hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, of course we are willing to help you, but ...... The current Anling Liu family is no longer a family of magicians, counting the three of us, there are only a dozen people in total who are still practicing magic, and the highest realm is only me and Liu Dongrong, two beginner-level magicians, and the others are only trainee magicians. So, we don't have the strength to ......"

Seeing that Liu Gewen's face was getting more and more ugly, Liu Donghong hurriedly changed his words and said: "However, my Liu family is now one of the richest businessmen in this area, and it still has a little influence. If you need any help, we will do our best to help. ”

Liu Gewen thought about it, the current situation of the Liu family, it would be good to be able to pay and send people to help collect intelligence, and more things should be done to recover his strength as soon as possible. Just after a brief check of his condition, his magic spring was sealed and he couldn't use magic. I have to check it carefully for a while, as long as the seal can loosen a little, I will have a way to slowly regain my strength.

It's really not good, there are still a lot of cultivation resources in his space bracelet, and he can also improve the strength of these people. However, it is necessary to examine the character of several people first to see if they are trustworthy.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Mingping still asked, "Sir, I don't know how much your strength has recovered now?"

Liu Gewen didn't hide it, and said honestly: "I am now sealed in the magic spring, and I can't use magic. ”

After speaking, he looked at the three of them quietly.

Because they didn't find that there were magic fluctuations on Liu Gewen when they first saw him, Liu Mingping and they had already guessed that this was the result, but when they heard Liu Gewen's answer, Liu Mingping and others were still very disappointed, Liu Donghong and Liu Hongrong were old and refined, and they didn't show it, but Liu Mingping, who was relatively old, had all his emotions written on his face, and Liu Gewen saw it in his eyes.

Liu Mingping hesitated, but still asked, "When will that gentleman recover?"

Liu Gewen looked at him straight and said, "I don't know, I may recover tomorrow, and I may not be able to recover in this life." ”

Liu Mingping saw that Liu Gewen was a little angry, and hurriedly said: "Sir, to be honest, more than a hundred years have passed since the incident, and it is difficult to investigate. If your strength recovers, coupled with the current financial resources of our Liu family, there are still some possibilities. But now ......"

"Mingping!" Liu Donghong hurriedly interrupted Liu Mingping's words, although the old gentleman's realm had not recovered, he should not be so irritated.

Liu Gewen didn't care, and said: "He's right, I really can't do anything before my strength recovers." However, I must find out about this matter. ”

His tone became more and more firm, and Liu Mingping was not good at saying more.

Liu Donghong said: "Mr. wants to investigate, we will definitely cooperate, but this matter can only be discussed in the long run, you should go back to Liu's house with us first, and then investigate slowly." ”

Liu Gewen nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Liu Mingping said on the side: "Father, take Mr. back like this?"

Liu Donghong glared, just wanted to be angry, but suddenly remembered something, and did not speak.

Liu Gewen frowned and asked, "What else is the problem?"

Liu Donghong hurriedly said: "Sir, don't think about it, it's just that the Liu family is in a special situation now, and the sudden addition of one person is too attention-grabbing." ”

Liu Gewen had a cold face and asked, "What's wrong with the Liu family now?"

Seeing that Liu Donghong was a little embarrassed, Liu Mingping said on the side: "Don't hide it, sir, although my Liu family has declined, after all, it is a magician family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are still many people who beat my Liu family's crooked ideas, and come to my Liu family every now and then to find trouble." ”

Liu Gewen frowned and said, "What do you mean by beating the Liu family's crooked idea?"

Liu Mingping said: "I just want to get the inheritance of the Liu family's magicians." ”

Liu Gewen said suspiciously: "Didn't you say that the magicians of the Pingyu Continent have declined?"

Liu Mingping nodded and said, "It is true that few people practice magic now, but there are still some people who are obsessed with restoring the glory of magicians. They went around collecting magic cultivation secret methods, and many ancient families were unwilling to give them secret methods, and they were finally wiped out. ”

Liu Gewen asked, "What's the matter, there are also people who are looking for trouble with you?"

Liu Mingping sighed and said, "Yes, recently, Jingtian will have been looking for our Liu family, saying that they want to buy my Liu family's magician core inheritance. We have told them many times that we were only a branch of the Liu family back then, and we have long since lost the core inheritance, but they just don't believe it, and they came to my Liu family during the day today to make trouble, and injured many people. ”

Liu Gewen frowned after hearing this, and asked, "What is Jingtian? ”

Liu Mingping said: "The Worship of Heaven is a magician union that has emerged in recent decades. It is said that the president already has the strength of an intermediate magician. They are extremely persistent, and many small wizard families have been swallowed up by them. There are also many magician families who do not cooperate, and as a result, they are wiped out. Although there is no obvious evidence, everyone believes that they are responsible. ”

Liu Gewen sneered and said, "There are really no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are the kings." A small mid-level magician can be a king!"

Of course, Liu Donghong and the others understand the arrogance of this old gentleman, after all, the height of people back then, I am afraid that no one in the world can reach it.

Liu Mingping said: "Sir, as long as your strength recovers, of course those shrimp soldiers and crabs will not be able to enter your eyes." But for now, we'd better keep a low profile. ”

Seeing that he spoke so directly, Liu Donghong's face was displeased, how could his son be so good at talking today? It was not his style at all! If he really wanted to make this ancestor angry, he really didn't know what the consequences would be, although he had not recovered his strength now, but the old monster who had lived for more than a thousand years must have many means.

Fortunately, Liu Gewen, an old monster, didn't care about this, he is also an old man, of course he knows the current situation, and he can't be low-key! ”

Liu Mingping saw that the old gentleman didn't care, and continued: "In the past, if the Liu family was so big, one or two more people would not attract any attention, but now, many pairs of eyes are staring at us, and every extra person will attract their attention. ”

Liu Gewen thought for a while and said, "Then I won't go to Liu's house first, and go somewhere else to settle down first." ”

Liu Donghong hurriedly said: "That's not good. You have been asleep for so many years, and you don't know anything about the world today, how can you be allowed to live alone outside. Let's go back to Liu's house first. ”

Liu Dongrong said: "Actually, it's no problem to go back to Liu's house, as long as we find a suitable identity for Mr. and make Mr.'s appearance not so abrupt." ”

Liu Gewen nodded and said, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry to go to Liu's house, you go back first and arrange an identity for me." ”

Liu Donghong asked, "Sir, what identity do you need?"

Liu Gewen thought for a while and said: "Any low-level employee in the Liu family's industry is fine, as long as it doesn't attract attention, and it can live in the Liu family." ”

He said that it was light, and Liu Donghong didn't dare to arrange it so casually. The Liu family is also considered a local rich man, and it is true that one or two more low-level employees will not attract too much attention, but how could Liu Donghong let this ancestor do any work, and hurriedly said: "How can it be done." Mr. has a noble status, how can he be a low-level employee. ”

Liu Gewen knew what he was thinking and said: "It's not a big deal, I need to re-understand the current world, adapt to the current life, and start from the bottom to be better." ”

"That's not going to work! You've just woken up, so you should recuperate for a while. ”

Liu Donghong still objected and hurriedly said.

Liu Dongrong said on the side: "Big brother, of course Mr. shouldn't work, but there is no other way now, if it doesn't attract too much attention, it will easily cause trouble to Mr. Liu Jiahe." Unless we can find a suitable identity, let's be confident in providing for Mr. ”

Everyone present knows this truth, but this kind of identity is really hard to find!

Liu Mingping held his chin in his hand and said casually: "Mr. looks so young now, he can do nothing and enjoy the blessings, unless it is my father's illegitimate son." ”

"Liu Mingping!" Liu Donghong hurriedly reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Mingping also knew that he had said it, and hurriedly explained: "I'm kidding, don't be angry, sir, don't be angry." ”

Liu Gewen was not angry, and also felt that this was a bad idea, but after thinking about it, he said: "This idea is actually feasible." ”

Liu Donghong has a black line, and he can't see how it works. How dare I have an illegitimate child over a thousand years old!

Liu Gewen naturally has his own ideas. He is already over a thousand years old, and he has been a high-profile genius since he was young, and he even became a saint magister of the entire line. But after all, he was born in the side line, and he was not less bullied when he first started practicing magic, although his parents were also very high, but in order to exercise his heart, as long as he did not die, no matter how humiliated he was, they would not come forward.

Therefore, although Liu Gewen was arrogant back then, he also knew how to bend and stretch. For your own safety, it's okay to pretend to be a grandson to others, let alone a son. Anyway, as long as his strength recovers, let this old boy call himself a few more times and the old ancestor will be recovered. If you can't recover your strength...... I am a wasted person, and it would be good to be a son to others!

Liu Donghong was still unwilling, but several people thought about it for a long time, but they still couldn't come up with a better idea.

In the end, Liu Dongrong said: "Sir, big brother, this matter is very important, we must think carefully, or think long-term." ”

Liu Gewen nodded and said, "Okay, I still have to rest here for a while, you go out to prepare first, and it's not too late to pick me up when you're ready." ”

Liu Donghong looked at the environment of the cave and said, "However, the conditions here are too simple, and Mr. is here ......."

"It's okay," Liu Gewen interrupted, "I've been sleeping here for hundreds of years, and I'm not afraid of a few more days." Besides, I can't move yet. ”

He pointed to his legs.

At this time, a few people reacted, Liu Gewen had been sitting on the ground motionless, before they thought that he looked down on himself and these people were sitting on the ground, but it turned out that they couldn't move yet. It's right to think about it, anyone who sleeps for hundreds of years will lose control of their body. If it weren't for the protection of this mysterious pool, Liu Gewen would probably have atrophied his muscles and would no longer be able to move.

In desperation, Liu Donghong could only say: "That gentleman will rest here first, and I will ask Mingping to send you some daily necessities when I go back." ”

Liu Gewen nodded and asked Liu Donghong and the others to leave. But not long after they left, a powerful suction force once again sucked Liu Gewen, who was still thinking wildly, into the pool.
