"Please tell me everything." Chen Ziyun said calmly. Although his tone was calm, he was very firm.
"Although I don't know who the dragon guardians are, I really want to know everything about my father now."
A satisfied smile appeared on Wen Qing's face. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, as you wish."
Chen Ziyun leaned forward slightly and listened carefully to Wen Qing's story.
"Dragon guardians can be divided into broad and narrow senses. Dragon guardians in the broad sense are people who know a certain secret, but explore, study and protect the secrets within the existing rules. Dragon guardians in the narrow sense,
It refers specifically to your family." Wen Qing calmly revealed this secret that even Chen Ziyun didn't know.
Chen Ziyun looked stunned for a moment. However, he did not interrupt Wen Qing's story and listened patiently.
I don’t know when the mysterious profession of dragon guardians appeared. In the legend of dragon guardians, their mission is to guard a holy place in the Kunlun Mountains. The origin of the Chinese dragon veins there is also the final chapter of civilization.
The last chapter.
Even the dragon guardians themselves are confused as to whether the legendary holy land exists. Not every generation of dragon guardians will stick to the vast mountains. They mostly stay away from this deep mountain and then search for related things in the world.
To research the information, they rarely set foot here unless absolutely necessary. Even after a long time passed, the dragon guardians were not sure whether the secrets they kept really existed. So in the late Ming Dynasty, one of Chen Ziyun's ancestors,
In Yunnan, he invited Xu Hongzu, a world-famous traveler, to explore the Holy Land with him.
This is the origin of "Xu Hongzu's Notes". The last volume fell into the hands of Chen Ziyun's ancestors and was passed down to the 042 Research Institute.
During this trip, Chen Ziyun's ancestors finally became aware of the existence of the Holy Land. But it also brought great side effects.
Since this ancestor who set foot in Kunlun with Xu Xiake, Chen Ziyun's ancestors have basically no men who can live more than forty years old. In the end, it evolved into a single lineage, and the incense can be extinguished at any time. This is like a dangerous situation.
It is a curse that has troubled Chen Ziyun's ancestors for generations.
But as dragon guardians, Chen Ziyun's ancestors were naturally not ordinary people. They searched many times to try to solve this fatal danger. But in vain. Every time after the age of forty, Chen Ziyun's ancestors either suffered from illness or serious illness.
Even though he died tragically and accidentally, even Chen Ziyun’s father could not escape this strange fate.
But after countless generations of research and summary, the descendants of the Chen family gradually discovered some secrets that troubled them.
Every man in the Chen family will undergo a transformation when he turns thirty. This transformation may make him smarter, have a unique insight into a certain field, or become stronger and stronger, and he may be able to fight well.
It's no problem for a crowd to beat up a group of thugs.
In addition, they will also be aware of some mysterious connections in the world and the existence of some people or things. After exploration, the ancestors of the Chen family have more or less gained something.
Unfortunately, every time the exploration reaches a critical juncture, the researcher dies suddenly. Death may be caused by illness, or he may suffer from something that looks like an accident. But the only thing that is certain is that there is almost no
One can live beyond forty years.
The reason why it is said to be unique is because in the Chen family's family tree, there is only one special case who lived to be forty-five years old.
It is said that the ancestor of the Chen family became disheartened after knowing the fate of his family. He decided not to marry for the rest of his life, hoping that the tragedy of the Chen family would end in his own hands. Unexpectedly, until he was forty-four years old, he was still living a very healthy life.
Safety. He mistakenly thought that the curse was over, so he happily married a wife and took concubines. Then at the age of forty-five, he died of a sudden illness. He left behind a posthumous son. This posthumous son was Chen Ziyun's grandfather Chen Si. But
When Chen Si was forty years old, he followed an expedition team into the desert and never came out again, leaving behind his son Chen Guang.
Until Chen Guang's generation, based on hundreds of years of data, a hypothesis was deduced: if the descendants of the Chen family want to live beyond the age of forty, they must abstain from marriage for life.
Forbidding marriage means stopping reproduction. This inference can be explained by the experience of a certain ancestor. But in fact, Chen Guang's inference was not just inferred from his own ancestors!
Almost every descendant of the Chen family possesses almost monstrous wisdom. After several generations of systematic research, they have found an ironclad fact: the Chen family's experience is not the only one. People who have suffered similar experiences like the Chen family have
, in fact there are many. However, due to some uncertain reasons, these people are not passed down as stably as the Chen family. This is also the most fatal flaw in Chen Guang's theory.
Because before the age of thirty, the awakening feeling inherited from his ancestors had not yet appeared, it was difficult for him to grasp these connections. Based on this, Chen Guang had extremely crazy ideas and interests in biological genetics, and conducted extensive research on this
The in-depth research was fruitful. However, when Chen Ziyun was fourteen years old, he died in a car accident, and the research came to an end.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Chen Ziyun has been systematically trained by his father to be his successor since he was very young. He has systematically received a lot of knowledge and education. He is already the best expert in the recognition and translation of ancient characters. In order to let Chen Ziyun
He has a higher chance of survival when encountering danger. Chen Ziyun has even received a series of extremely arduous martial arts training, and his skills and reactions are top-notch. Ordinary big men can't get close to him.
His father died too early, and Chen Ziyun had no time to ask his father why he raised him to be like this. When it came to this matter, Chen Ziyun believed that he already knew the answer.
I have such a fate in my body. If I really have some kind of transformation like my ancestors when I was thirty years old, then I will definitely not be content with my fate, and I will definitely want to fight against it. So I have the complete
A person with knowledge and a strong body will definitely have more confidence and strength to face all this than a weak and ignorant person.
But, can such preparations be able to cope with the arrangement of fate?
Chen Ziyun smiled bitterly and calculated secretly. He is already twenty-nine years old this year. There is less than a year left before the so-called transformation time.
After listening to Wen Qing's story, Chen Ziyun smiled bitterly. Wen Qing said: "I said, knowing this too early will not do you any good."
After a brief moment of panic, Chen Ziyun took a deep breath and said with a faint smile: "If this is destined. Although the sooner you know, the more painful it will be, but you only know when it comes. That is the real sadness. If you know earlier, at least
You have time to prepare to accept it, or find a way to deal with it." Although he said this, Chen Ziyun felt empty in his heart. There are many capable people from his ancestors, but they can't solve the curse in his blood. Can he do it on his own?
