Chapter 3: Swordsman Xingge
After Brother Arrow was confined, I never saw him again, and Xingge continued to learn the sword from Xinyi as usual, but instead of going to the Misty Sea, they chose Xiyunpo, which was closer to the palace.
Soon a new chief of guard came to my dormitory, his name was Holma, who was originally my grandfather's personal guard, and after my grandfather returned to the royal city of the Thousand Spirits, he assigned him to take care of my daily life. At first I rejected him, but after he only said three words, he made me decide to keep him, and he said, "I watched you be born, and I can tell you anything the little prince wants to know." ”
I looked at the middle-aged man in front of me, he was slightly older than my father, and his eyes were the same as my grandfather's, they all revealed an unforgivable light, compared to my previous chief of guard, this middle-aged man looked like a king.
"Are you sure you really just came to my dormitory to be the head of the guard?"
"At least for now, say, little prince, what do you want to ask me?"
Seeing the other person speak, I asked a series of questions, including what Iridium had not finished speaking to me before.
"Since the little prince has so many questions, then I will start with the three major races in this world, the king of the three major races, belongs to the Thousand Shadow Clan, King Boke's cultivation is the highest, and he has reached the seventh level of the super holy spirit, he is best at swordsmanship, he has been an ultimate sword god many years ago, and his swordsmanship has so far been unmatched; The second cultivation is the king Qingxiao of the Thousand Feather Clan, the fifth level super holy spirit, she is the only woman among the three, and the youngest, Queen Qingxiao is best at the piano skills, not long ago she was promoted to the ultimate qin envoy, if the opponent's cultivation is lower than her, it is easy to be controlled by her piano sound; The third cultivator is Lan Zi, the king of the Thousand Spirit Clan, that is, your grandfather, his cultivation is a fourth-level super holy spirit, and his grandfather is also best at swordsmanship, but he is still a little bit away from the ultimate sword god, perhaps because of his age, he has not made too many breakthroughs in cultivation over the years. ”
"Is the Super Holy Spirit the top level of cultivation?" I asked.
"No one knows what is above the super Holy Spirit, at least for now, the super Holy Spirit is the top level of cultivation, and the cultivation is divided into six levels according to different levels, namely the first spirit, the child spirit, the cultivation spirit, the yuan spirit, the holy spirit and the super holy spirit, the first spirit has twenty levels, the child spirit has eighteen levels, the spirit has sixteen levels, the yuan spirit has fourteen levels, the holy spirit has twelve levels, the super holy spirit has ten levels, and the higher the level of cultivation in the future. And the skills that everyone is good at determine their other identity, so far, there are four mainstream identities in this world, swordsman, luthier, healer, and illusionist, the highest level of swordsmanship is the ultimate sword god, the highest level of qin skills is the ultimate qin envoy, the highest level of the healer is the ultimate shepherd, as for illusion, it is the most powerful of all skills and the most difficult to comprehend, there has been a real illusionist in the Thousand Spirits clan, his illusion attainments are extremely deep, after him, no one has surpassed him in illusion. ”
"Who's that illusionist? Is his cultivation the same as that of the kings of the three major races? ”
"There are only a few records about this illusionist in the history of the Thousand Spirits, his cultivation is far above the Super Holy Spirit, although he is the king of the Thousand Spirits, he has never interfered in anything, and it is also because of his existence that the Thousand Shadows and the Thousand Feather Clan have never invaded us for a long time, but, for some reason, he only left as a king for a few hundred years, and no one knows where he went."
"And now? Except for Boke, Qingxiao, and Grandpa, is there no other person in this world who has broken through the Super Holy Spirit? Like you? ”
"Well, in this world, there are no more than twenty people who have cultivated to reach above the super Holy Spirit, like your father, although he is the strongest person in the Emperor's cultivation, but he is only a fourth-level Holy Spirit, and the Thousand Shadow Killers you met that day, their cultivation should be above the third-level Holy Spirit. As for me, I am the ultimate faun of the Thousand Spirit Clan's cultivation that is only above your grandfather, and only I am the most suitable to be your grandfather's personal guard. ”
I was silent, the cultivation in Holma's mouth was out of reach for me, the children around me my age had been sent to the Diling Academy by their parents as early as the age of 7, and Xingge had his own full-time teacher, while I could only stay in the dormitory, listening to the two old men tell those repeated historical stories every day.
"Why are you telling me this? I just want to know what happened on the day I was born, nothing else has anything to do with me. I said.
"Because you are different from others, I just said that your grandfather is old, and over the years, his cultivation has not made too many breakthroughs, so he has been looking for a suitable heir to the throne, and you are his favorite candidate."
I burst out laughing, "Horma aren't you kidding me, are you?" I can't even hold a sword from Shinyi, but you told me that you want me to be the heir to the throne of the Thousand Spirits. ”
Holma didn't smile, his expression was very serious, "Does the little prince think I'm joking with you?" Just because you can kill two top killers of the Thousand Shadow Clan without making a move, just ask who else in the Thousand Spirit Clan can do this, even if your grandfather is facing a few top killers with top cultivation, it will inevitably take some physical strength. ”
"How do you know that?" I immediately stopped laughing, and after returning from the Misty Sea, I didn't tell anyone what had happened that day.
"Do you think there's anything you can hide from your grandfather? The Thousand Spirits have not had a child like you for thousands of years, and I believe Iridium has already told you that when you were born, the entire sky of the Thousand Spirits was red with snow cherry blossoms, and you were born a child with extraordinary spiritual powers. ”
I was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, all the while, I felt that I was the worst prince of the emperor, "Holma, how do you want me to believe your words?" ”
"You are just a little weaker than others, but this does not mean that you do not have the potential to cultivate, the king sent me to the imperial concubine, in addition to taking care of your daily life, more importantly, to train you for him, the new crown prince of the Thousand Spirits Clan."
That day, I stayed alone under the snow cherry tree until late at night, and Hormma's words made my heart calm down for a long time, and I finally understood the meaning of what my grandfather said to me that day, "Xingcan, you must know that if something happens to you, even if you pour out the entire Thousand Spirit Clan, it will be irreparable!" "It turns out that I also have the ability to practice swordsmanship like Xingge, and furthermore, my innate talent is likely to be above Xingge.
In the early hours of the morning, I returned to the dormitory from the snow cherry blossom forest to rest, and along the way, I kept staring at the snow cherry blossom in my palm, and one thing that even Grandpa and Holma might not know was that my blood and snow cherry blossoms could bring withered flowers and plants back to life.
The next day, I got up very early, and the arrival of Holma made the atmosphere of the whole emperor tense, and I later learned that his status in the Thousand Spirits clan was extremely high, although he was his grandfather's personal guard, he had been made a prince by his grandfather, and the status of the prince was higher than that of ordinary princes, so even his father had to salute when he saw Holma. Grandpa rarely appears in the various countries of the Thousand Spirits, and the appearance of Holma usually represents the King of the Thousand Spirits, his cultivation has broken through the first-level super Holy Spirit, and he is the highest cultivation of the three major races, but there is no wound that cannot be cured by his hands.
Holma told me not to let anyone but him and my grandfather know my secrets, not even the Xingge closest to me, and although I didn't know why he wanted me to hide it, I didn't ask anything more because of my grandfather's intentions.
......
At the age of 9, Xingge finally became a qualified first-class swordsman, and his sword was replaced by an ordinary wooden sword to a blue-bladed sword, and Xin Yi personally hung the swordsman's sigil stone on Xingge's sword, "Prince Xingge, you are now the youngest swordsman in Emperor Yan, I think when I was 9 years old, I was still a child who didn't know anything, I believe that it won't be long before you will replace me as the youngest sword master in Emperor Yan." ”
"I'll definitely keep trying." Xingge took the blue-bladed sword and replied.
I watched Xingge in the crowd, in order to pass the assessment of the first-level sword master, he practiced more desperately than anyone else, the cultivation assessment of the first-level sword master required Zi Ling, in order to meet the requirements, he has not returned to the dormitory for three consecutive months.
"Holma, why do you want everyone to force Xingge to learn swords, he actually doesn't like these." I looked up and said to Holma beside me.
"This is his responsibility, since he became the crown prince of the imperial concubine, he is destined to pay more hardships than others."
"Behind the sword master is the sword master, behind the sword master is the sword god, and finally the ultimate sword god, every breakthrough requires higher cultivation and ability, he is only 9 years old, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand these pressures."
"If you can't bear this pressure, how can you rule the entire emperor in the future!"
I chuckled, "I asked my father the same question, but I didn't expect you both to answer the same question. ”
Holma glanced down at me and said, "Why don't you think about yourself, the little prince has put in no less effort than Xingge in the past year." "Indeed, in the past year, with the help of Horma , my cultivation has reached the second-level Yuan Spirit, and passed the assessment of the second-level Sword Saint and the first-level Qin Saint, it's just that every breakthrough in cultivation level, I have to face heart angina, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the pain I endure, I finally understand why Grandpa wants Holma to stay by my side, only he can save me from fainting every time I have angina.
After the sword master awarding ceremony, Xingge walked straight to me, and then took me into his arms and said: "Can, I finally have the ability to protect you, I worked so hard to become a sword master, not because I am the crown prince of the emperor, you are the most important person in my life, I just want to tell you that with me, you don't have to be afraid of anything." ”
At that moment, my tears almost fell, "Xingge, thank you!" ”
