Chapter 2 Wish-fulfillment

In the year 781 of the Great Zhou calendar, Fumian City was already an early winter scene. The water flowed from the east side of the city to the south, and a strong wind blew, causing waves to rise on the water. The north of Fumian City is the majestic Sword Mountain, the farther away from Fumian City, the higher the peaks, the mountains in the distance go straight into the sky, the peaks are like flashing swords under the cover of snow. It is said that Fushui originated there. This is the northernmost place of the Marquis of Longwei, over the majestic Sword Mountain, and then the north belongs to the territory of the Marquis of Hanzhong.

The places south of Jianshan are under the jurisdiction of Zhao Wu, the lord of Jiannan Prefecture, and Fumiancheng is the residence of the lord of Jiannan. Thirty years ago, Zhao Wu was just a warrior of the Zhao family of the nearby Beishan Lord, and he followed the Beishan Lord to fight against the brute beasts far southwest of Shuanglong City. But this time, I don't know what kind of big luck he bumped into, a few years later, he broke through from a samurai to a great samurai on the battlefield, and finally broke through the rank of general, and became one of the few generals in the country.

After Zhao Wu became a general, he made a lot of achievements for Long Weihou. Long Weihou naturally attaches great importance to it, Zhao Wu not only became the head of the Zhao family, but also was named the head of Jiannan Mansion by Long Weihou, guarding Fumian City. Zhang Yuzhang, the master of the Hou Kingdom, also saw him as a loyal and honest person, and he was dignified in appearance, so he happily married his most beloved daughter to him. Since then, Zhao Wu has been valued by the Hou Guohou Mansion and the Master's Mansion, and he has become even more high-spirited.

Zhao Wu can be said to be smooth sailing, and it is not bad to guard Jiannan Mansion for more than 30 years, and today's achievements have completely exceeded his expectations when he was young. Now Zhao Wu is over sixty years old, although sixty years old is not a big age for a general-level martial artist, but now he doesn't have a son, and there are a large number of daughters, but how can he do it without an heir? Although the brothers and nephews of the Zhao family usually admire their martial arts so much, when it comes to children, their strange eyes make people really want to kill. Especially the old mother whispered in her ear every day: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, your lord doesn't even have a person to serve tea and water, and there must be a personal inheritance for such a big family business." repeatedly forced himself to succeed his nephew Zhao Zhengyi. I really can't stand it, and I always feel uncomfortable thinking about it. My wife can do anything, why is she not angry?

To say that the lady of this mansion is naturally beautiful, inheriting the elegant and dusty temperament of her father Master Zhang, she is definitely a great beauty. The test at birth was also a bit of spiritual power, and Master Zhang was overjoyed, and taught her to practice spiritual cultivation since she was a child, and she read a lot of books after reading and reading. But the path of spiritual cultivation was too difficult, and in the end, he did not break through to become a spiritual monk. After marrying Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu loved her very much, gave birth to six daughters before and after, and always wanted to give birth to a boy to her husband. No, now that the child has been pregnant for more than ten months, it should be born. The lord of the mansion is worried in his heart, son, son, son, if it's still a daughter? My wife is not too young to give birth. Thinking of this, Zhao Wu's head was too big, so he had to drink alone in the yard.

"Tell the minions that the good life is waiting for the lady."

"Yes, please rest assured, master, everything is ready."

Zhao Wu was actually not at ease at all, and a strange dream always appeared in his mind. In the dream, a large cloud of white clouds suddenly rushed down from the sky, wrapped him, he shouted and shouted in the clouds, but no one answered, and he couldn't get out desperately. I woke up in a sweat, but now my wife was also shouting in my dream. What kept him in his heart was that Madame had the exact same dream as him, and it didn't take long for Madame to have a child.

In the courtyard of the mansion of the lord of Fumian City, thousands of servants stood in every room and every staircase in the deep courtyard. Especially outside the lady's delivery room, the big and small officials in the mansion's mansion, the six daughters and sons-in-law of the Zhao family are all waiting here. The mansion master, Zhao Wu, kept walking down the stairs and walked over, and his mouth kept muttering something, as for what he was chattering, only he knew.

"Wow" A cry was loud and crisp, Zhao Wu was shocked, stepped on the steps, and shouted loudly: "Is it smooth?" ”

"Congratulations to the master, it went well, the mother and son are safe, the little master is so handsome! Congratulations to the successor of Master Hou."

The whole house was jubilant, and there was an atmosphere of joy everywhere. Zhao Wudu stood there, muttering incessantly: "Son, I really have a son?" Thinking about it, the things he was looking forward to in his dream suddenly became a reality, Zhao Wu really couldn't relax for a while, he couldn't believe the scene in front of him, and his head was dizzy as if he had drunk too much wine.

"Father-in-law, you really have a son, congratulations to your father-in-law for having a successor", He Jian was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate. Several sons-in-law of the Zhao family have always disliked Zhao Zhengyi, and they are not biological brothers and sisters with their wives, and there were some discords between them and the Zhao family in the past few years. Now that they have an uncle, these are naturally very happy.

As he was talking, a maid came out with a wrapped baby in her arms, "Congratulations, please take a look at the little master." Zhao Wu came to his senses at this time, hurriedly stepped forward, took it over, opened the package and took a look, it was really a handle. Zhao Wu stepped into the middle of the courtyard in a few steps, raised his son above his head with both hands, and shouted, "I have a son."

The child was so frightened that he shouted, and Zhao Wu was also stunned on the spot, holding it up and not knowing what to do. The eldest daughter Zhao Deyi is still experienced, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Dad, on such a cold day, you can't let my younger brother be naked, hurry up and wrap it for me."

"Alas, you see I'm really, patronizing me happily, hurry!"

"That, oh, the third child, that, you immediately send someone to tell your mother, just say that her old man has a grandson, and my Zhao Wu has a son!"

"Yes, second brother, I'll go now" The third Zhao Shuang quickly walked out, but the people at the gate faintly heard him muttering: "What do you mean to have a grandson?" My mom already had a large group of grandchildren, and now what's so great about having a son, what a fuss.

With a little more ancestor, the Zhao family is busy in a mess. A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the child's full moon wine will be held tomorrow. The preparations had already been underway, and he didn't have to worry about it. But Madame was unusually nervous, for according to the rules, every child of a noble family had to undergo a test on the full moon - whether he had the gift of spiritual cultivation. This test is very important for everyone, even if there are very few people who can cultivate spiritually.

The lady herself wanted to become a spiritual priest, but it backfired, and now she pinned her hopes on the child.

"General, do you think our son can cultivate spiritually? If only he grew up to be a spiritual priest. ”

"Who said my son should be a spiritual man? I think my son must be like me, he will be a general, a god general, and maybe a martial saint. I said, ma'am, don't worry. Don't we just want a son? Yes is the best, whether he can cultivate the spirit or not, he is my baby. ”

"Look at me, really. Yes, it's better to have a son than anything else, whether he is a samurai or a spirit warrior in the future, it's all my treasure. Madame looked down lovingly at the sleeping child, and a happy smile was on her face.

Today's weather is particularly good, the sun shines on the long-lost winter on the earth, showing a rare warm weather everywhere. Fumian City is full of lights, and it is festive. The mansion of the lord of the mansion was even more lively, with groups of slaves busy inside and outside, too many guests who came to congratulate, and the sound of announcements at the door was wave after wave.

The hall was already full of friends, and there were two large chairs on the main seat opposite the door, and the chair on the left was covered with a cushion made of snow-white white fox skin, which was warm and noble. On it sat a beautiful woman in her forties, with eyes so clear and bright that nothing in the world could stain it with a little dust. This is the lady of the mansion, who is now looking lovingly at the little baby in her arms, as if the noise outside has nothing to do with her, and she has only her child in her eyes. Zhao Wuzheng was sitting on the chair on the right, and the chair was covered with a yellow unknown fur, which set him off more domineering and high-spirited.

The two compartments were filled with the aristocratic elites from all over the town government, and the number of them was even more than the annual tribute.

"Tiantai Ling advocates Zishan to congratulate the lord of the mansion on his happy son, and I would like to send 800 strong male slaves and 100 female slaves. The rooftop collar wishes the little master a long life, good health, and good luck. ”

"Nanting Lord He Wentong congratulates the lord of the mansion on his happy son, and I would like to send eight hundred strong male slaves and one hundred female slaves, which is not a tribute, please accept the lord and his wife with a smile. The leaders of the South Pavilion wish the little master a long life, good health, and good luck. ”

"Zhao Shuang, the lord of Beishan, congratulated the lord of the mansion on his happy son, and I would like to send a thousand strong male slaves and a hundred female slaves. The leaders of the North Mountain wish the little master a long life, good health, and good luck. ”

"Lord Lu Xiuwu of Jiang'an congratulates the lord of the mansion on his happy son, and I would like to send eight hundred strong male slaves and one hundred female slaves. Jiang Anling congratulated the little master on his long life, good health, and good luck. ”

……

Zhao Wu's face was full of red light, and he laughed: "With your auspicious blessings, my son will definitely grow up to be white and fat, and he will definitely have a great future in the future." When you are old, you will have a child, and you will be happy in life! Everyone can come today, the government is very grateful, and today we have prepared a banquet to get drunk with everyone. ”

"Congratulations to the lord of the house, we have to drink enough wine today, we have to give the adults a few more glasses, the adults can't refuse."

"That's that, I don't refuse to come today, whoever doesn't drink is a soft egg."

Everyone was chatting happily, and a person came in from outside the door, and after bowing, he reported: Lord of the House, the spiritual power test is ready, when will the Lord be tested for the little master?

Zhao Wu pondered for a moment, and looked around the left and right: "Everyone, there may not be one in a million spiritual warriors, what's the point of the test, how can I have ever produced a spiritual warrior in hundreds of years?" That's it, whoever dares not to abide by the rules handed down by our ancestors can test it. ”

Immediately a tray came in from the door, wrapped in a red cloth, and the servant came to the front and knelt down and lifted the tray above his head. Zhao Wu carefully opened the red cloth, only to see a long strip of objects, from one end to the other, there were seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, arranged in order, the texture was like jade, not jade, I don't know what it was made of. This is the spiritual ruler used to test the child's spiritual talent, it is said that this thing is placed on the child's forehead, and there is no reaction if there is no spiritual power, if the red place is shiny, it means that the child has spiritual power, but the spiritual power is weak, and the spiritual power can be cultivated but the achievement is not clear. If the glow of the clear color means that the child's spiritual talent is good, at least he can cultivate into a spiritual scholar, and the higher the upward glow spiritual cultivation talent, the higher the possible achievement, so the child's spiritual cultivation talent is divided into seven levels. If you can glow red, there is hope, and if you can glow orange, you must immediately report it to the nearest spiritual person, and once it is verified, you will be taken away and taught the method of spiritual cultivation by a special person, and from then on embark on the path of an extraordinary person.

Zhao Wu picked up this thing, the lady next to him stood up, and everyone stood up, everyone held their breath, and their eyes were fixed on the child's forehead. I saw Zhao Wu slowly put the test object close to the baby's forehead, and as soon as he touched it, he saw that the ruler emitted a dazzling red light, and when everyone was surprised, the ruler emitted a bright orange light, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim. But before the exclamation fell, the color changed to bright yellow again, and everyone was stunned, but the color was still changing, green, cyan and purple appeared, and finally the light flashed, and there was no light at all.

For a time, everyone was all petrified. Everyone was puzzled, and they all turned their eyes to the lady of the mansion owner. Madame was also at a loss, and muttered: What does this mean? I've never heard of it. Mrs. thought about it, and she picked up the test object and put it on the child's forehead, but she saw that there was no reaction, and there was no response after putting it several times in a row.

Someone said on the side, is it that Madame's spiritual power has an effect on the side, or is the test thing broken? Everyone thinks it makes sense. Zhao Wu said: "Madam, I'll pick up the child, go and send the spare spirit ruler."

After the spare one was delivered, Madame first tried it on her forehead, and after it really glowed red, it stabilized without any change. Explain that this thing is normal, and then test it on the child, and the result is exactly the same as before, first red light, then all kinds of light wheels, and finally there is nothing.

"Why is there nothing left? What kind of color is it? "Zhao Wu has never heard of this situation, and everyone has never heard of it.

"Will the spirit ruler be broken?"

As soon as Madame thought that it made sense, she immediately tried both rulers on her forehead, but the result was really no response. "It's really strange, there is no record of this situation in the book, is there any spiritual power? What color is it? ”

"It's unpredictable, ma'am, we only have one spirit ruler left." Zhao Wu felt that this matter was not simple, his son's talent must be amazing, after all, Zhao Wu had traveled south and north, and had been fighting abroad for many years, and he still had some knowledge, and he always felt that this matter was not trivial.

"Measure, why not, I don't believe that all three pieces will be broken."

This time, it was still Zhao Wu who took the spirit ruler, thinking that this was the last piece, Zhao Wu was very careful, and slowly approached his son's forehead. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to get closer, the child opened his mouth, and his left hand almost touched the spirit ruler, and what was surprising was that the ruler actually emitted a purple light. None of the people here are strong in martial arts, and they can see it clearly.

Some people say: Is it okay to put it on your hand and test it? Zhao Wu really put the ruler in the palm of the child's hand, and sure enough, the ruler emitted a bright purple light, and there was no change this time.

"Purple, oh my God, is it really purple?" The lady of the mansion owner lost her usual composure and dignity, and grabbed Zhao Wu's arm, "Oh my God, this is not a dream." ”

At this time, Zhao Wu was so excited that he couldn't say a word, just nodded vigorously. Purple means that his son's talent for spiritual cultivation is simply against the sky, this is the highest level of talent! In Zhao Wu's memory, he didn't say he had seen it, or he had never heard of such a child. Generally, it is already overjoyed to be able to emit crimson light, and the next level must be the dragon among people, and it will stand out.

For a time, the voices of congratulations in the house were endless. Zhao Wu held back for a long time, and finally shouted: "God, are you compensating me for decades?" It's worth it, God has eyes! ”
