Chapter 2 The Seven Stars Have Lives

"Hahaha!"

Soon after, in that room, Zhou Xu took the hand of his wife lying on the bed and laughed heartily, and then kissed his lover on the forehead, and raised the baby boy who had just arrived in the world with both hands, this moment was the happiest moment of anyone's life.

"Congratulations, sir!"

All of them knelt on the ground in unison.

"Show me..."

By this time, the child's mother was already exhausted, but she couldn't help but want to see the little elf she had brought into the world with her own eyes, and although her face was a little frighteningly pale, she still had a kind smile on her face.

When Zhou Xu held the child in front of his wife, the woman carefully took the child from her husband's hand, her face full of pity.

Zhou Xu guarded the bedside, and the family of three was indescribably harmonious.

The child's mother gently kissed the newborn baby on the head, but when she kissed her own child, there was a slight change in her face.

"Husband, let's give our children a name!"

"My Zhou family has been favored by the king, the fourth generation and the third prince have been passed down from generation to generation, and now I am stationed in this southern Xinjiang place, far away from the royal capital, I hope that my son can pass on the prosperity of my Zhou family in the future, and he can be a father to the right, so he is called Zhou Yi!"

Zhou Xu smiled, and then hugged his wife and childish son into his arms again.

"Zhou Yi... Yier"

The child's mother held her child, leaning on her husband's chest, and kept recalling these two words, but no one noticed that the voice was getting quieter and quieter, and in the end it had almost disappeared, but the hand holding the child still never let go!

"Madam, when Yi'er grows up, I will hand him over to ride a horse and practice martial arts, and you can teach him chess, painting, brush and ink!"

Zhou Xu muttered to himself, but this time no one answered his words, and he was immersed in the perfect dream of his wife and children, and he soon noticed something again, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Soon the border city and the city mansion, a hissing cry broke the previous silence, and all the servants in the palace began to tremble at this moment.

"No!"

One moment, he was full of spirit and his wife, and the next moment it was a matter of fact, he hugged his wife and wanted to keep the gradually lost temperature, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change all this.

The child's cry still echoed in her arms, as if he had not yet opened his eyes, he also felt that a part of his fate was forever missing, and in that distracted roar, no one dared to step forward and take the child away, so the child's cry began to sound with his madness.

"Why!"

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Xu finally raised his head, he trembled as if he had lost his soul, his wife's voice seemed to still echo in his mind, he picked up the child who had been crying since birth, and finally got up slowly.

Looking back at the trembling servants kneeling on the ground inside and outside the house, he didn't say a word after that, but walked slowly towards the outside.

Maybe it was providence, the child cried hard, but it also meant that he was born healthy, and maybe that was the only thing that could be gratifying.

"Master"

All the servants knelt on the ground, only to see Zhou Xu suddenly walked outside the house, came to the courtyard, lost his soul in his eyes flashed a cold light, and then saw him suddenly look up at the sky above his head and suddenly raised the child in his hand above his head.

"Why!"

He yelled, as if he had gone mad, and wanted to question the plan that the sky had given him, but at this moment suddenly a strong wind rose, and the originally clear day suddenly changed, as if a dark cloud was pressing on the top.

The sudden change quickly attracted everyone's attention, it was because the sky had changed, the child cried more and more violently, and finally Zhou Xu couldn't bear to slowly withdraw the child into his arms, looking at the changing sky, his face was not the slightest shock, and some were still just indifferent.

A person who wants to question the heavens, how can he care about his dark clouds changing color.

It's just that when he looked at the child in his arms again, he was stunned, it turned out that he had never noticed, and everyone else who accompanied the birth of the child did not notice, that there were seven small black dots on the soles of the child's feet, like seven small black stars......

As night approached, the city hall hung up the white sails, and in a room deep in the city mansion stood quietly in front of an ink painting hanging on the wall, his eyes closed and his hands behind his back, while behind him an old man in a cloth coat with some strange cloth bags on his body was standing quietly.

The old man's hair was thinning and he looked old, and now his eyes were squinting, and his expression was slightly hesitant.

"Since the meteorite fell to the earth, the celestial phenomena have changed, and the astrological veins in the royal capital must have seen the appearance of the heavens, but even now, the royal capital has not moved, but as far as the old man knows, when the celestial phenomena change, it has caused evil spirits!" said the old man;

"Is this image of my son against the will of heaven, and why...... Born of the Mother!"

Zhou Xu said that from beginning to end, his eyes never moved from the scroll.

"No ......"

The old man's head suddenly drooped, and his tone began to become a little low: "Childe stepped on the seven stars...... It's the emperor's life!"

"Boom!"

The sky of the border city suddenly sounded the thunderbolt of the sunny day, and the wind rose in all directions, who knew that when this storm was about to come, a natural life personality had been born, but what would happen to him, the fourth and third dukes of the Zhou family received the favor of the king, and as a human minister, he had to go against the sky.

"As a minister, you shouldn't have this kind of fate......," Zhou Xu said;

"I didn't expect the Zhou family to be passed down from generation to generation, but when it came to my Zhou Xu's generation, it ended up like this!"

When the words fell, the old man knelt behind Zhou Xu, who was the lord of the border city in the southern frontier, and this old man had served the Duke of Zhou in the previous generation.

"The number of fortunes is determined by heaven, and the son is born with the root of the emperor, but it is not his fault, nor is it the fault of the public!"

"......"

Zhou Xu continued to want to speak, but suddenly his ears moved, and he suddenly felt that there was a movement outside the house, after all, he still closed his eyes, but his hands were already clenched into fists.

A heavy rain finally fell on the land of southern Xinjiang, when the rain fell it was already evening, suddenly countless black figures began to appear in the wind and rain, they were all wearing hats, I don't know how to appear in the border city, but after appearing, they quickly turned into ghosts in the night and went towards the whole southern Xinjiang that made people smell or frightened or changed color, or awe-inspiring city.

The city has been mourned, and it is in such a ghost weather, as if this day is also becoming a miasma due to the suffering of the world, but as the first government in southern Xinjiang, it is still heavily guarded, and I see that the servants in the palace are often dressed in plain clothes.

In the depths of the house, Zhou Xu knelt in the center of the room, his eyes closed, his hands naturally pressed on his knees, there was a low table in front of him, and there was an incense burner on top of the low table, and there were few cigarettes in the incense burner.

And the incense burner was preceded by a long sword.

The sword is three feet long, and the cold light hides its sheath, just like his master, everything is sharp and restrained.

Other than that, there was nothing in the room except the candles that burned silently around it.

"Bang!"

Suddenly there was an explosion, the door of the room was kicked open, and three black shadows rushed in from outside the house, all of them appeared behind Zhou Xu, and at this time, a cold wind with a bloody breath also blew in from outside the house, blowing towards the heartbroken man sitting on the ground.

Zhou Xu's eyes were still slightly closed, as if none of this had attracted his attention, or that he had already guessed all this.

"Is there really no other way?"

Zhou Xu suddenly turned his back to the three black shadows behind him and spoke.

But no one answered him, and the only answer that might count as being given to him was the three steel knives that were raised at the same time and exuded a cold glow.

"Do it!"

The cold words fell, and the three of them had already rushed towards him in unison......

On this night, the streets of the entire border city were surprisingly quiet, except for the torrential rain, there were no pedestrians in sight.

It wasn't until a long time later that a fire suddenly lit up in the dark night, and even in the face of the pouring rain, the fire still stubbornly lit up from the center of the entire border city.

From then on, there will be no more Zhou clan in the border city, and everything in the four worlds and three dukes will be wiped out......

A long time passed, far away from the border city, an old man held a sleeping baby boy in his arms and looked at the little spark of light in the border city, his hands were trembling, and the baby boy in his arms was blocked by his own clothes and body, and he was not awakened.

The old man looked up at the sky, looked at the thunder and lightning in the night rain, and looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Childe, if you don't go to your life, I'm sorry to be ashamed of the Zhou family and to the Zhou family!"

He knelt on the ground and looked up at the sky, only to see dark clouds, but in his eyes, it was evil qi, evil qi from the royal capital!

The astrologer deduced the five elements, and any variables could not escape deduction, and he knew that if he wanted to leave the only bloodline of the Zhou family, then he must complete the mission assigned to him by the head of the Zhou family tonight!

"May the sky have eyes, forgive me for this act against the sky, and in the order of my life, erase the Seventh Emperor Star and break the Seven Star Life!"

He gritted his teeth, pointed his right hand to the sky, and under the lightning and thunder, he pressed one hand under the sole of the young master of the Zhou family in his arms......

I don't know how long it has been, but I know that the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed, the outline of the border city is gone, and a woman in coarse cloth clothes walked out of her home with a wooden basin at the door of a remote farmhouse in southern Xinjiang.

It was a small wooden house, with no rubble to be seen, only thatched roofs, and a little smoke on top of it against the three or two houses in the distance, which was a rare and poor place.

The woman had a lot of clothes in the tub, and was walking along the bluestone path, skirting the bamboo forest, towards the place where there was a murmuring water, and the sound of the water became clearer and clearer, and then she suddenly slowed down, as if the sound of the water seemed to be a little different today.

After leaning down, she quickened her pace again, bypassing the last barrier, and finally saw the source of the voice in front of her.

On the bank of the stream, under the green bamboo, a ball of brocade was slowly wriggling, and the crisp cry accompanied by the sound of flowing water made her stunned in place.

"Childe...... Forgive the old man, even if I have exhausted all my vitality, I can only fight for the ordinariness of your only thirty years, once you live and die, don't hate Zhou Gong, I will go to the underworld to ask for sin!"

In a trance, the voice faded away, like a big dream.
