Chapter 12: Transmission of the Seal
The old man had an incredible expression on his face, and his voice was full of excitement: "He raised the Muyun Sword!" Mu Yunjian recognized him! This...... How is this possible! ”
"Teacher, I'm as surprised as you are, maybe Jing'er is really what you think 'that person'. www.biquge.info I brought him here today to let Jing'er choose his own life. Xuan Bu turned his head, took Xuan Jing's hand and walked to the old man's side, and said, "Jing'er, you can see him clearly, he is my teacher and your mother's teacher." You now kneel down and kowtow to him! "Xuanbu's voice became solemn and sacred, and it was impossible to refuse.
Xuan Jing knelt down as he said, and respectfully kowtowed to the old man three times before getting up. Xuan Jing looked up at the old man, his tall figure in the darkness was like an ancient god, with deep facial features, a strong beard, and dark eyes like the middle of the night shining with scorching stars. The old man was wearing an ordinary cloth shirt, which was not luxurious, but it also fit neatly.
The old man looked at Xuan Jing for a long time, slowly stretched out his left hand, put it on the top of Xuan Jing's head, and made a voice like a chant in his mouth: "My child, after today, you will inherit my glory and will also bear a huge responsibility!" ”
With that, he took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to Xuan Jing.
Xuan Jing didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly raised his hands and took it. Reaching out and pinching it, I felt a square lump inside, slightly heavy, I don't know what it is.
"This is the seal letter of the great leader of the Muyun Regiment, from today onwards, I will pass it on to you!" The old man said slowly.
Xuan Jing was a little foggy, he never knew what Mu Yuntuan was, how he became the big leader.
"Don't be nervous, kid, and don't be afraid. From the day you were born, you were destined for supreme glory and, of course, great responsibility. The old man looked at Xuan Jing, "Haven't you always wanted to know about your mother, let me tell you, your mother was also the leader of the Muyun Regiment, and the Muyun Sword in your hand is a relic left to you by your mother!"
Xuan Jing looked at his father and then at the old man, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what to say.
Xuan Bu quietly watched all this happen, "Teacher, your goal has been achieved, I will return Jing'er to you." There may be a lot of things to happen in the future, and then it will depend on Jing'er's own choice. ”
Xuan Jing said, stepped forward and took Xuan Jing's hand, turned around and walked out of the stone room without looking back.
"Father!"
"Jing'er, I know you have a lot of things you want to ask me, you ask!" Xuan Jing said.
"Who's that old man?" This is the question in Xuan Jing's heart for several years.
"He is my teacher and your mother's teacher. The great leader of the Muyun Regiment. Xuan Bu said lightly, but there was a vicissitudes in his voice that Xuan Jing had never seen before.
Xuan Jing had been listening to the two of them talking about Muyun Tuan today, and he was very curious in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "What is Muyun Tuan?" ”
Genbu thought for a moment and said, "It's a group of samurai with blood in their chests, and their goal is to protect this world. After a pause, Xuan Bu continued: "Their behavior is not understood by the world, so the imperial courts of various countries are encircling and suppressing those warriors of the Muyun Regiment, and I was once one of them, and so is your mother. ”
"Then my mother ......" Xuan Jing was a little afraid to ask this question.
"She died, died in childbirth when she gave birth to you. She was the princess of the Rouran Kingdom in Huangzhou before her death, and you were also born in the royal city of Rouran, and later I brought you to Diji. In Rouran and even in the entire Wasteland, people are used to calling your mother 'Princess Kite', which means 'noble and noble princess'" Xuanbu tried his best to restrain his feelings.
Rouran, that ancient and mysterious country. Xuan Jing only knew about this place in books before, but he didn't think that his mother was from that place.
"Jing'er, you choose to pull out this Muyun Sword today, and in the future, within the four seas, it will be your home. Maybe one day when I can no longer take care of you, you have to learn to face everything alone. Xuan Bu said with some sadness.
After all, Xuan Jing is still young, and some can't bear such a heavy topic. Hurriedly asked: "Father, this grandfather at the bottom of the lake is your teacher and mother's teacher." Why are you keeping him here? ”
"In addition to the big leader, there are six elders in the Muyun Clan, adding up to a total of seven people, called the Muyun Elder Council. Fifty years ago, that grandfather did an earth-shattering thing as the leader of the Muyun Regiment. After that incident, he was wanted by all the countries in the Central Plains, and a large number of warriors of the Muyun Regiment were executed by the imperial court. To this day, our dynasty still stipulates that anyone who has dealings with the warriors of the Muyun Regiment, regardless of officials and civilians, can be beheaded immediately after investigation and punishment, without going through the criminal department. ”
"The imperial court's pursuit of the warriors of the Muyun Regiment lasted for decades. Later, the other six elders of the Council of Elders decided that he was a sinner of the Muyun Regiment, and abolished him as the Grand Leader. At that time, he also fell into the hands of the imperial court, but there were still many samurai who willingly followed him and saved him at the cost of their lives. Xuan Bu said, "Aren't you surprised, why is he in the palace again?" ”
"Well, yes, could it be that you got him back, father?" Xuan Jing asked.
Xuan Bu smiled slightly, "After he escaped back then, he went all the way to Huangzhou, where he met your mother. He passed on his mantle to your mother, and sent a message to the Muyun warriors of the world, saying that your mother is the next Muyun Clan's great leader! The seal stamped in the message at that time is the bag in your hand, and you can open it and look at it. ”
Xuan Jing opened the bag as he said, and there was a pale blue iron seal in between. Take a closer look, there are four words engraved on it with an ancient seal', 'Muyun World'.
"This is the iron seal of the Great Leader of Muyun." Xuanbu explained, "Every Muyun warrior has such an iron seal, which is a token of mutual identification, but the inscription on it is different. ”
Xuan Jing nodded, "As long as you see someone who has the same seal as me in the future, is it our partner?" ”
"I will continue to tell you his story, so to speak. Later, there was a war in Rouran, and your mother used the seal letter to gather the Muyun warriors of the world in the barren state to fight against foreign enemies. And I am the general of the imperial court, and I also lead the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou. I led my troops north from Yuzhou and went straight to Huangzhou. After working together with the Hororan to repel the enemy, the Grand Elders of the Muyun Order demanded that the former Grand Commander be judged. Your mother, as the ruler of Muyun at the time, presided over that trial, and the final result was that he was sentenced to a lifetime of solitary confinement. And he also realized the damage he had done to the Muyun Regiment, and felt very guilty, and also recognized the punishment of the Elder Regiment. Xuan Bu said slowly, those things from many years ago are not something that can be forgotten without mentioning them.
After a pause, Xuan Bu continued: "Later, before your mother died, I entrusted me to take care of him all the time, so I brought him back to Diji from Huangzhou, and built such a secret room in the mansion to imprison him. ”
Xuan Jing lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Father, how did you know about me and this grandfather secretly practicing martial arts?" ”
"Hehe, the heart-burning trick he taught you is one of the most domineering methods in the world. You are still young, you only know how to cultivate your mind and practice qi, but you don't know that the hidden edge is obscure, how can I not see it. Xuanbu said with a smile, "The reason why I asked you to thank that Huiqin girl today is also meaningful. ”
Xuan Jing was a little confused, "What does it have to do with Miss Huiqin?" ”
"Do you know that Huiqin girl is from the Xi tribe?" Xuanbu asked.
Xuan Jing nodded, "Sister Qin told me today, she is from the Xi tribe. ”
"The Xi people are born to be masters of secret techniques and music rhythms, that day you and Xuanyu fainted after a fight on the street, I heard from the people below that Huiqin once used secret techniques to help you heal. And according to the descriptions of the people below, I deduce that that kind of secret art, even within the Xi tribe, is not something that ordinary people can master. Xuan Bu looked at Xuan Jing, "And the song she played for you with Fu Xiqin today is even more exquisite, otherwise, do you think you can resist the temptation of that sword?" ”
Xuan Jing's heart was suddenly shocked, and the scene when he took the sword was still vivid. If it weren't for the rhythm in my heart that could suppress the violent breath, I wouldn't know what I could do.
Xuanbu looked at his son, and a feeling of love rose in his heart. Since Bai Lie came last time, Xuan Bu has been thinking privately in recent days, feeling that the recent affairs in the court are gradually out of his control. Although he has always been above board, he is not afraid of being framed by those young people. It's just that you can't be unguarded.
"Jing'er, you come with me to the other courtyard." Xuanbu said with a heavy heart.
Xuan Jing bowed his head and promised, and followed his father all the way to the other courtyard where Xuanbu usually rested. Xuanbu closed the door after entering the house. said to Xuan Jing, "Jing'er, something may happen at home recently, and my father may not be able to take care of you all the time." Mu Yunjian should be a birthday gift from your father, and you should take it together with the letter. In addition, there is a set of mantras for the Father, which have been passed down to you now, and you must memorize them for future needs. ”
Xuan Jing wondered in his heart that his father was the prince of the imperial prison country. It can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, if he says that there is something and he can't take care of himself, it must be a big matter related to the family and the country. Although Xuan Jing had questions, he didn't dare to ask more.
Xuan Bu calmed down, used his true qi to perceive it, and made sure that there was no one around the courtyard, so he taught Xuan Jing this formula.
This set of formulas is extremely strange, there are only thirty-six words in total, one sentence for every six words. But it is extremely difficult to read, and the top of the tongue cannot be vocalized, but the pronunciation method of each word is different, and Xuan Jing struggles to read every word, not to mention the six-character sentence.
Xuanbu has been patiently teaching and is not bored. The father and son stayed in this courtyard until the time of the lantern, and then they finished teaching this mantra. Both of them were hungry, and Xuan Bu didn't want to trouble the kitchen to start another fire to cook, so he took Xuan Jing out of the palace and found a restaurant on the street to eat.
