Chapter 179: Providence (II)

Yuanzong's gaze swept over An Qisheng, fell on Han Xin, smiled slightly, and said indifferently; "I haven't seen you for so many years, you have grown so big, if my junior sister can see you so promising, I don't know how happy I will be."

Han Xin smiled bitterly; "Uncle Shi, you are embarrassed to say that you left me alone after my mother was gone. You are at ease, or the Mo family, I am a poor boy who has to live on the streets and suffer the white eyes of others. ”

Han Xin said this with deep resentment in his tone, and he did have some resentment against Yuanzong. In the memory of this body, Yuanzong, the master and uncle, treated their mother and son very well since childhood, and often brought food and money to help them live, and Han Xin's martial arts in his life were also taught by Yuanzong himself. But after his mother's death, Yuanzong has not been heard from since, leaving Han Xin, who is only fourteen years old, to live alone.

Yuanzong faced Han Xin's accusation, but he didn't defend it, just shook his head with a smile and said; "You were originally a variable in this world, and the fate of this world has changed because of your change. Since you are a heavenly machine, I naturally can't interfere too much in your life, it is better to let you choose your own path in the future, which is not in vain everything your mother has done for you. ”

An Qisheng, who faintly heard some eyebrows on the side, couldn't help but interject; "Wait." After speaking, he glared at Han Xin, pointed at Yuanzong and said; "You call him Uncle?"

Seeing Han Xin nodded, he turned his head to look at Yuanzong again, and said in surprise; "Could it be that he is Wanru's son?"

Yuanzong smiled and said nothing, but his expression had already admitted. An Qisheng looked Han Xin up and down with a surprised face, and muttered in his mouth; "No wonder, no wonder, I said how could such a freak like you suddenly appear in the world, it turned out to be Wanru's son, no wonder. Your surname is Han, is Wanru really with that guy......"

Han Xin was also confused, although he had already guessed the relationship between the three of them, he couldn't figure out the rights and wrongs. He saw that An Qisheng seemed to be talking to himself, but Yuanzong smiled and didn't say anything, so he had to forcibly suppress the curiosity in his heart, and it was inconvenient to interject.

An Qisheng lowered his head and muttered, opened his head suddenly, staring directly at Han Xin, but his eyes eased a lot, and he was no longer as aggressive as before.

An Qisheng said with a straight face; "It turns out that you are Wanru's son, so you are not called Uncle Shi."

Han Xin was stunned, turned his head to look at Yuanzong, and nodded when he saw him; "He is your mother's senior brother, my junior brother, you should indeed call him second uncle."

Han Xin stepped forward and shouted reluctantly; "Second Uncle."

An Qisheng's nostrils turned to the sky, and he said proudly; "Since you are Wanru's son, you are naturally also a member of my family. Although you are messing with me everywhere, but when I see Wanru's face, I don't care about you as a junior. ”

Han Xin's heart suddenly lightened when he heard this, An Qisheng was such a difficult character who was willing to let him go, so he naturally couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly thanked him; "Thank you, Second Master."

An Qisheng's nostrils responded heavily, his face softened slightly, and he said: "As for your mother, everything is fine, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years." ”

Han Xin was stunned, but he didn't expect that he didn't know the news of his mother's death, so he whispered; "It's been almost seven years since my mother died."

An Qisheng's face froze, and he turned his head to look at Yuanzong violently, and lost his voice; "Senior sister died?" Seeing Yuanzong nodding slowly, An Qisheng was suddenly silent. The relationship between him and this little sister is also very good, and he even admired him for a long time when he was young, but later because of the appearance of another person, he had to let go of this young longing and love. knew that he met Lan Xin later, so he buried this young feeling deep in his heart, but today he suddenly heard about the death of his little sister, how can he not feel sad.

After being silent for a long time, he raised his head, looked at Yuanzong and said in a hoarse voice; "Senior brother, my junior sister has never been strong and healthy, why did she die young?"

Under the agitation of his heart, An Qisheng also seemed to have forgotten his hatred for many years, and instead called Senior Brother Yuan Sect as before.

Yuanzong's expression was gloomy, and he raised his head and sighed; "She, like you, accidentally saw Master's Codex and saw the fate of a man named 'Han Shin' recorded in it. At first, Wanru thought it was just a duplicate name and didn't take it to heart, but later various corroborations proved that his son was the 'Han Xin' on the codex. At that time, Han Feng was dead, and Wanru's only dependence was on his son, so she begged me to help her change her life. It's a pity that she changed her life against the sky, and after all, she couldn't escape the curse of God, and she died young because of this. ”

An Qisheng took a deep breath, looked at Han Xinlian and said a few words, "I see", and then closed his eyes and said nothing. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, he was shocked, he opened his eyes and looked at Han Xin, and lost his voice; "You are Wanru's son, isn't that the bloodline of the Zhou family. God, you finally treat me well. ”

Seeing that he suddenly looked crazy again, Han Xin immediately took a few steps back vigilantly and hid behind Yuanzong, and then said with confidence; "I used to understand a little, but now the more you talk about it, the more confused I become. Uncle, can you tell me what's going on? ”

Yuanzong smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by An Qisheng's sharp voice, "Yuanzong, do you still want to stop me?" ”

Yuanzong shook his head slowly, "I'm not here to stop you today, on the contrary, I'm here to help you." He sighed slightly and said, "Before, I only stopped you from acting everywhere, but I couldn't bear to see you fall into the devil's path against Master's original intentions." But today the wood is already in the boat, what's the use of me stopping you, it's better to help you do it, let you die this mental calculation. ”

Seeing him say this, An Qisheng was relieved, snorted heavily, turned his head, and didn't appreciate it. Yuanzong didn't care, looked at Xingyu who had not interjected on the side, and smiled; "You're the star language."

Xingyu nodded honestly, before she used to be the mortal enemy of her own master, so she was disrespectful to Yuanzong in her words. Today, I found out that it was actually the same door, and I didn't dare to be presumptuous at this time.

Yuan Zong smiled at her kindly, and said to An Qisheng; "Senior brother, there is still a lot of time tonight, and you have waited for more than ten years and are not in a hurry to make it today, so we might as well sit down and talk about how it is. You are all half a hundred, how long can you live, there are some things I think you should want to let the juniors know. ”

An Qisheng turned his head and was noncommittal, Yuanzong agreed when he agreed, beckoned the two to sit on the ground, and recounted a dusty past.

In the sixth year of King Zhou Shenliang, Luoyi was born with a vision, and a rainbow appeared in Yutang. The palace of the Son of Heaven and the King of God, Fang ascended to the throne, and suddenly moved like thunder, and the ground cracked like a canal in an instant. The three rivers were exhausted, the Qi mountain collapsed, and the palace and palace were destroyed countless times.

King Zhou Shenliang was also overly frightened in this earthquake, thinking that it was a warning that God was punishing Zhou's room, so he fell seriously ill and died soon after. Before he died, he decreed that his son Ji Yan was the Son of Heaven, and he was the last Son of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty.

When the news of the death of the Son of Heaven came, the enthroned prince Ji Yanshang met with Daoyou in Chudi. After getting the news of his father's death, Ji Yan was shocked and sad, and rushed back to Luoyi in the starry night, and his friend Yang Zhu, who was discussing the Tao with him at that time, was invited by him to go to Luoyi happily.

Ji Yan is different from any previous emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and he is also different from any nobleman. Although he was born in the royal family and respected his status, he admired Lao Zhuang's words, and made many achievements in the art of health preservation and the principle of medicinal stones, and he himself lived to be 110 years old.

When Ji Yan was twenty-six years old, he left behind his clothes and food, left Luoyi to travel the world, and since then he has lived abroad for many years, and his whereabouts are uncertain. Although he is an only son, his grandfather and father are both long-lived people, so when he reaches the age of fifty, he still does not have to bear the burden of social education, and he can dive into Taoism outside with peace of mind, until King Shenliang dies unexpectedly, and then he has to return to Luoyi to accept the position of the Son of Heaven.

At this time, although Zhou Tianzi was the co-lord of the world, it was just a joke in the eyes of nobles from all over the world.

Hehe Zong Zhou, the land he ruled was only a hundred miles, and the territory was also sharply reduced to less than the land of several counties in the Qin State.

Yu soil, Xia Mu, Yin Jin, Zhou Room Juhuode. According to legend, there is a Xuanniao saliva fire to Qishan to report, the emperor and the concubine Jiang Yan felt in a dream, and then gave birth to Houji, which is the ancestor of the Zhou people. King Muye of Zhou Wu defeated Shang in a battle, established the Zhou Dynasty, and divided the princes of the world, which was the co-lord of the world, so it was named Zong Zhou. After the decline of King Mu, due to the rebellion of the Emperor, the national capital of Haojing was broken by the dog Rong, and the king of Zhou Ping was forced to move east to Luoyi to avoid the dog Rong, and the Zhou family has since collapsed and become the son of heaven in name only.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi, Jin and other great powers in order to compete for hegemony in the world, have played the banner of "respecting the king", at that time, although Zhou Tianzi had a vain name, but still enjoyed certain rights, the princes of various countries did not dare to be disrespectful to the Zhou family, so the king of Chuzhuang sent people to the north to ask about the "weight of the tripod", and was scolded by the courtiers of Zhou Tianzi at that time.

It's a pity that in the Warring States Period, the general trend of the world has been divided, after more than 200 years of mutual attack and pouring, the world has been divided into seven powerful vassal states, and Zhou Tianzi's status has also fallen again and again, becoming an insignificant small country.

During the reign of King Xian of Zhou, the Qin State, which had undergone the Shang Dynasty reform, quickly became stronger, and gradually replaced Zhou Tianzi as the co-ruler of the world. And the territory of the Son of Heaven also shrank and shrank under the oppression of Qiang Qin, and he often had to endure the money, grain, and brocade silk extorted by the envoys sent by the Qin State.

And what Ji Yan inherited was such a mess, when he ascended the throne, the Qin State not only did not send a messenger to congratulate, but ordered him to go to Xianyang in person to congratulate the King of Qin, otherwise he would attack the city with a large army. In order to preserve the 500-year-old society of the Zhou family, Ji Yan had to swallow his anger and go to Xianyang to worship King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and was ridiculed and ridiculed by the nobles of the Qin State.

This matter was regarded by him as a great shame in this life, and Ji Yan, who had always been indifferent and indisputable, couldn't hold back the hatred in his heart, how would he retaliate against the Qin State day and night, but he had no choice but to let the Zhou Dynasty fall into decline, even if he tried his best, he would not be able to return to the sky, but he would find an excuse by the Qin State to easily destroy the country.

According to the records and the secrets passed down from the royal era, he deduced that Jiuding was likely to be lost to Chu during the reign of King Mu, and if Jiuding was recovered, the Zhou family might still have a glimmer of hope.

He told his buddy Yang Zhu about his idea and asked for his help.

Yang Zhu was a strange person in the world at that time, Bo Gu and the present, with unpredictable skills of ghosts and gods, and his martial arts were unmatched. Although he studied under the Taoist school, he had a good relationship with Mo Zhai, the patriarch of the Mo family. He and Ji Yan have been friends for many years, and when he heard him say the strange record about Jiuding in the Zhou clan, he was curious and wanted to find out, so he readily agreed.

It's just that Jiuding has been lost for more than 300 years, and the relevant records are vague, and the Zhou State has limited national strength, so it is difficult to visit. This investigation is more than 30 years, among which Yang Zhu also lived in Luoyi, devoted himself to studying the records of Jiuding in the Zhou family, and also gave birth to a son during this period, and received a disciple, that is, Yuanzong. Even later, Ji Yan also let his only daughter Ji Wanru worship under Yang Zhu's door, so there was a friendship between the three of them as brothers and sisters.

In the thirty-second year of King Zhou, he finally found out the whereabouts of Jiuding in Lingnan, and Yang Zhu went to Lingnan to visit in person. This was five years, and then Yang Zhu returned to Luoyi and had a long conversation with Ji Yan for a long time, which broke his idea of using this to revive the Zhou family.

According to Yuanzong's conjecture, Yang Zhu should have discovered the wonders of Jiuding in Lingnan, not the legendary king's qi, otherwise the Xia Dynasty and Yin Shang would not have perished. Maybe Jiuding is just a magical thing that can connect ghosts and gods, and it has nothing to do with the general trend of the world, so Ji Yancai finally gave up these unrealistic ideas. From then on, he indulged in the mountains and rivers, and no longer paid attention to state affairs, until the fifty-ninth year of King Zhou, King Qin Zhao sent troops to destroy the Zhou family under the pretext that Zhou conspired with the six countries to attack Qin. King Zhou committed suicide on the grounds that the Son of Heaven was not humiliated by his subordinates, and the Zong Zhou in 514 years perished, and the world returned to Qin thirty years later.

After listening to Yuanzong's words, Han Xin couldn't help but open his mouth wide and pointed at himself and said; "You mean to say that I am a descendant of the Zhou family? King Zhou is my grandfather? My mother is a princess of the Zhou Dynasty? It's too funny, why do I think you guys are joining forces to pit me again! ”

Yuanzong's face was extremely serious, but he just raised his eyes and glanced at Han Xin lightly, and said; "I've already said that, and it's up to you to believe it or not."

Han Xin's face turned blue and white for a while, and he felt a little inexplicable, feeling a little ridiculous in his heart, but he also felt that Uncle Shi would definitely not lie to himself, and it was extremely reasonable to think about it.

After thinking for a while, he asked again; "And who is my father?"

"Han Feng." Yuanzong said calmly; "He is a clan relative of South Korea, and he has always been full of ambitions, but South Korea's national strength is declining, and there is a strong Qin on his side, he has no genius, but he can't use it, and he has to do everything possible to eliminate the Qin State. As the co-ruler of the world, the Zhou family is undoubtedly the best leader, so he came to Luoyi to lobby the Son of Heaven, hoping that he could come forward to organize the alliance, and during this period, he fell in love with your mother at first sight and became husband and wife. Later, Korea was destroyed by Qin, and your father was also martyred and died in the capital Xinzheng. ”

Han Xin couldn't help frowning, and suddenly felt that the heavens were playing a super spoof joke on him. Not only was he not from a humble background, but he was born in the orthodox Zhou royal family and the Korean royal family, but both countries were destroyed by Qin one after another, and he ended up in the market. The funniest thing is that now he is actually the general and captain of the Qin State, overseeing the government of the Qin State.

Is this considered feng shui in turns, generation after generation.

At this time, An Qisheng, who had been enduring for a long time on the side, couldn't hold it anymore, Huo De stood up and said loudly; "Alright, you've said what you need to say, now it's my turn."

stared at Han Xindao tightly; "Han Xin, will you help me or not?"

Han Xin spread his hands, "Then how can I help you?" ”

"It's very simple, drop your blood on Jiuding, and that's it."

"It's as simple as that?" Han Xin asked incredulously.

"yes, that's it." An Qisheng was faintly impatient, and couldn't help urging; "You'd better go."

Han Xin glanced at Yuanzong and saw that he nodded lightly, so he put his mind at ease and walked up. Drawing the sword, he gently cut a hole in his hand, and blood gushed out instantly, dripping on the ancient patterns of Jiuding.

The four people on the top of the mountain were extremely nervous in an instant, and their eyes looked at Jiuding in unison.

The dark red blood flowed slowly along the dark groove of the pattern, and after a while, it had already flowed to the bottom of the groove at the bottom of the ding. Suddenly, Jiuding trembled slightly, and the originally dim pattern actually faintly shone brightly, getting brighter and brighter, like a huge full moon, and the whole body was bright. The groove above the nine tripods transforms into a bright moonlight, like a light curtain.

The four of them stared at Jiuding intently, lest they miss any moment. Only Han Xin's face was very strange, and he suddenly felt ...... Suddenly, I felt that this Jiuding was very similar to the computer of later generations, and the groove on the Jiuding was very similar to a monitor.

A thought flashed in his heart, could it be, could it be that this Jiuding was not a thing of this era at all, and maybe it was also brought by a time-traveler like himself from the afterlife. Before he had time to think about it one by one, Jiuding suddenly shone brightly, reflecting half of the sky with golden light. Hundreds of lines of golden and brilliant fonts suddenly appeared in the sky above everyone, all of which were written by small seals, and when they were taken a closer look, they were recorded from the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and the last line was recorded until the sixth year of Han Gaozu.

The previous records are all things that have happened, and there is nothing strange about everyone, the only strange thing is where is the name of the third year of Han Gaozu, and his face showed a puzzled look. Only Han Xin's face was a little ugly, and he suddenly understood that what was written in this book of heaven was actually the history of his later life, that is, if he did not appear in this era, history should go in a normal direction.

It seems that this so-called Jiuding can communicate with ghosts and gods and predict the future, which is completely nonsense. I don't know who wrote down the historical records that I already knew well, stored them in it, and then someone started Jiuding, and it should be played as a movie.

That's it, that's all!

An Qisheng's reaction was extremely intense, he saw Jiuding feel it at first, and he rushed into the golden characters with excitement for a while, but the golden light only penetrated his body, but there was no disappearance. An Qisheng was stunned for a moment, and then shouted like a madman; "Take me away, take me away! I want to go back to the past, I want to go back to Orchid. ”

The three of them all looked at An Qisheng silently, and Xingyu couldn't help but come forward to live in him, but he pushed him away. An Qisheng was suddenly depressed, grabbed Jiuding tightly, and muttered in his mouth, as if talking to himself, and as if he was begging in a low voice, but no matter what he did, Jiuding's light was slowly fading, dimming little by little, and finally returned to its original appearance that was not amazing.

An Qisheng raised his head and looked at Yuanzong blankly, and asked urgently; "When is the next Seven Stars alignment?"

Yuanzong's face was bitter and he said slowly; "Sixty-four years later."

An Qisheng instantly lost all thoughts, and the brilliance between his eyes slowly receded, like a dead fish, muttering in his mouth; "Sixty-four years, sixty-four years, I can't wait, I can't wait. I'm sorry Lan Xin, I'm sorry, I still haven't done it, and I still can't be by your side. ”

Xingyu had already sensed that something was wrong with his master at this time, and was about to step forward to hold him, but the mutation suddenly rose, and he slammed his head into Jiuding, and when the three of them reacted, they were already dead on the spot. ”

Xingyu stepped forward and hugged An Qisheng's body, and immediately burst into tears, constantly shouting Master's name in his mouth, but it was useless. Seeing her crying so sadly, Han Xin couldn't help but feel pity, and stepped forward to gently pull her away, but was unexpectedly pushed by Xingyu and immediately rolled aside.

Xingyu stood up, holding An Qisheng in one hand, and pointing at Han Xin and Yuanzong with the other, and said sharply; "Get out of here, you are all bad people, you killed the master, but you are still pretending to be here, we masters and apprentices don't need your mercy." After speaking, he didn't even look back and hugged An Qisheng and left.

Han Xin, who slowly got up from the ground, couldn't help but smile bitterly, looking at her lonely back and feeling a little worried, but he also knew that she was in a agitated mood at the moment, and she couldn't listen to anything, so she had to let her go.

Yuanzong closed his eyes and looked up to the sky and sighed, and only after a long time did he lower his head and look at Han Xin and said; "Xin'er, this thing is too weird, I want to keep it in Momen's personal care, so as not to fall into the hands of ill-intentioned people. The road in the future depends on yourself, and you must remember that the rise and fall of the world does not depend on one thing, but on the hearts of the people in the world. ”

Han Xin bowed, "Remember the teachings of the master. ”
