Chapter 7: Lan Yaojian
"Tell me to go to the inner hall?" Situ Jin was a little surprised, since he was born to the present, he has not met his earl father a few times in total, and he has not been called by the initiative once, I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today?
Xiu stood beside Situ Jin and added, "In addition to the Earl and the Young Master, the Old Lady, Madame, the two Young Masters and Miss Wan have all arrived in the inner hall. ”
"Oh?" Situ thought thoughtfully, Situ Nan summoned the whole family to the inner hall, and it seemed that there was something to announce.
At this moment, in the inner hall of the Earl's Palace, Situ Nan had already arrived, he didn't look at others, but walked directly to the position next to the old lady and sat down, and the old lady didn't look at Situ Nan from beginning to end.
"Mother, are you still angry with me?" Although he has been in a high position for a long time, in front of his mother, Situ Nan has always been extremely respectful.
The old lady snorted coldly and did not speak.
At this time, Situ Nan said again: "Mother, please be considerate of me, I am also thinking about the future of the family. ”
"What family's future?" the old lady finally couldn't help but say, "It's entirely a choice made according to your own preferences. ”
"Mother," Situ Nan's face was a little embarrassed: "Xiao Kai, this kid has been with me since he was 6 years old, and I see all his excellence, if he wasn't really good, I wouldn't have made a decision so quickly." Speaking of this, Situ Nan glanced at Situ Kai sitting below with an appreciative gaze, since Situ Nan entered the inner hall, Situ Kai's eyes never left his father, seeing Situ Nan suddenly look at himself with an appreciative gaze, Situ Kai immediately showed a very well-behaved smile.
Situ Nan and the old lady's voice was very low from beginning to end, and Mrs. Claire sat in the position below Situ Nan, because Situ Wan and Situ Lei Yao were still young, just around Claire's knees, so she only whispered and teased the two children from the moment she entered the inner hall, although the position she sat was very close to the old lady and Situ Nan, but I don't know if she heard anything.
Hearing Situ Nan's words, the old lady's face became more and more ugly: "You just brought Kai by your side, and you didn't bring Jin, how do you know that Jin is not good?"
Situ Nan did not speak.
After a while, the old lady sighed and said, "That's it, I hope you don't forget what you promised me before." When the words fell, just as Situ Jin walked into the inner hall with his feet raised, a kind smile immediately appeared on the old lady's wrinkled face.
Situ Jin stepped forward, saluted the old lady, Situ Nan and Claire respectively, and then walked to the chair next to him and sat down.
Situ Kai glanced at Situ Jin, and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes, but this gaze was immediately hidden by him, and instead changed to a child's unique innocent smile: "Big brother, I have been staying in the military camp with my father for the past two years, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
It's really been a long time since I saw him, the Earl's Court originally covered a large area, if it wasn't for the intention of meeting, there would have been very few opportunities for everyone to meet, and in the past two years, Situ Kai has been by Situ Nan's side every day, and the opportunity to meet is even less. After two lives, Situ Jin's mind is by no means comparable to Situ Kai, although Situ Kai tried his best to cover it up, but Situ Jin still heard the pride from his words, but for a little kid like Situ Kai, Situ Jin really didn't bother to pay attention, he just smiled slightly and didn't speak.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Earl Situ Nan finally spoke: "I have called everyone here today because I have an important matter to announce to you. Speaking of this, Situ Nan paused, and then suddenly shouted, "Hutt, bring it in." As the words fell, I saw the chief of the guard in the Earl's Palace, who was also the Earl's personal bodyguard, Hutt walked in from the back of the inner hall, holding a rectangular lacquer-colored wooden box in his hand, the wooden box looked a little old, Hutt walked directly to Situ Nan and handed the wooden box to Situ Nan.
Situ Nan took the wooden box, carefully put the box on the table on the side, glanced around at everyone, and then reached out to open the box, as the box was opened, the contents of the box finally revealed its true face, it was actually a long sword, the sword body was about three feet long, the whole body was snow-white, and the hilt was surrounded by blue patterns, although the sword was just lying quietly in the box, but everyone in the hall instantly felt a cold breath, even Situ Wan and Situ Lei Yao unconsciously leaned close to their mother Claire.
Situ Nan's eyes stared at the long sword for a long time, then slowly grasped the hilt of the sword, took the long sword out of the box, and said: " More than 2,000 years ago, after our Situ family assisted the Aldrich family to defeat the Yarrow Empire, the first emperor gave our family this Lan Yao sword in order to express his affirmation of our Situ family, and also awarded the Situ family the hereditary title of earl, this sword represents the supreme glory of our Situ family, and only those who have inherited the title of earl in the past are eligible to get it!" Speaking of this, Situ Nan's face unconsciously showed a look of pride.
Everyone's eyes converged on the Lan Yao sword, even Situ Wan and Situ Lei Yao, two ignorant children, seemed to see the extraordinaryness of this sword, their eyes stared at the sword body without blinking, Situ Kai's eyes were even more endlessly hot, although Situ Jin's face was normal, but he also had a trace of interest in this sword in his heart, but when he heard the last sentence that Situ Nan just said Situ Jin, he knew that this sword must have nothing to do with him.
Sure enough, the next moment, Situ Nan spoke: "Xiao Kai, you come forward." ”
Hearing Situ Nan call his name, a trace of excitement flashed in Situ Kai's eyes, and then he walked quickly in front of Situ Nan.
"Xiao Kai, from now on, my father will hand over this Lan Yao Sword to you. Situ Nan said as he handed the sword in his hand to Situ Kai. Although Situ Kai had guessed what would happen before coming to the inner hall today, when all this really happened, Situ Kai couldn't help but get excited, and took the Lan Yao sword, the excitement on Situ Kai's face could no longer be concealed, and a pair of small hands holding the hilt of the sword couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Xiao Kai, you must know that Lan Yao Sword not only represents glory, but also represents responsibility, Lan Yao Sword is not an ordinary sword, it is a spirit sword, from today on, you must practice swordsmanship well, so that Lan Yao Sword can play its value in your hands in the future. Situ Nan said earnestly.
The so-called spirit sword refers to a sword with a soul and self-awareness. On the road of Ceylon, the sword is as important as clothing, nine out of ten people must have a sword on their body, even ordinary children often hold swords in their hands, of course, most of the swords held by children are wooden swords and unedged swords, but from this point you can see the love of people on the mainland of Ceylon for swords. Because of this, there are countless swordsmiths and swords on the mainland of Ceylon, but although there are many swords, there are not many good swords, and on the road of Ceylon, a condition must be met to be called a good sword, that is, there is a sword soul, if a sword has a soul, then it has self-consciousness, and such a sword is already considered a top good sword on the mainland.
The continent of Ceylon pays attention to the unity of the human sword, that is, the will of the human and the will of the sword are combined, which seems simple, but it is quite difficult to do, first of all, it is extremely difficult to find a good sword, and secondly, even if this good sword is in hand, it may not necessarily recognize you, because the sword has self-consciousness, whether it can get its recognition depends on itself, as for the standard of obtaining its recognition, it is only to ask it yourself, the sword has consciousness, just like people, the personality is very different, the low-level sword is okay, will not transform the appearance to hide itself, some high-level swords, very good at disguising themselvesMany people may not know that they have a good sword in their hands for the rest of their lives.
In this world, there is no one-way blood to recognize the Lord, the sword does not recognize you, it is useless for you to drip blood to recognize the Lord, the sword recognizes you, and you may not be willing to drip blood to recognize the Lord, after all, recognition is also divided into degrees, and being equal to you and letting you be above it are completely different things, because of this, there are very few swords willing to drop blood to recognize the Lord on the mainland.
