208 Pregnancy
Although the days of special training were a bit boring, Huo Xin and Xu Xingguang enjoyed it. When Huo Wen'an is not busy, he will also return to Kyoto to live temporarily, but he does not have many opportunities to meet Xu Xingguang.
Xu Xingguang spends most of his time in the Chinese medicine hall, and occasionally when he comes back in the middle of the night, Huo Wen'an has already fallen asleep.
Obviously just married, the two lived a life of less gathering and more separation.
Two days before the festival, Xu Xingguang asked Ying Ziyao for leave and hurriedly left Kyoto to return to Shenyin Island.
Huo Wen'an's sacrificial robe was originally tailor-made, but Xu Xingguang was a new lady who had just entered the door, and her sacrificial robe had to be customized, so she had to arrive at Shenyin Island two days in advance to try on the sacrificial robe so that the tailor could modify the size.
Back at the helm's mansion, Xu Xingguang only had time to drink a cup of tea before he was taken by Andariel to try on the sacrificial robe to be worn on the day of the sacrifice.
The robe was made according to the size of her wedding dress, and Xu Xingguang was busy with special training during this time, and she lost a little weight, but the size change was not too obvious, and she only needed to adjust her waist.
Then, Andariel began to make up the details of the sacrificial activities to Xu Xingguang, and she directly found the video of her accompanying Huo Canghai to participate in the sacrificial festival in the early years to Xu Xingguang.
Xu Xingguang took a look at it and found that the Huo Family Sacrifice Festival was similar to the regulations of the Shenyin Dynasty Sacrifice Festival. The only difference is that the god Hidden Crane has never been married, and there is no queen in the sacrificial festival.
She watched it carefully several times, and waited until Huo Wen'an returned to Shenyin Island the next day, and then went to the altar with him to rehearse on the spot.
The altar is built on a small hill under the Lanyue Palace, the hill is about 100 meters above sea level, and this large tree with a thick trunk grows on the top of the mountain.
The big tree was so dense with foliage that it was like a giant umbrella that shielded the hill from the wind and rain.
Its leaves come in two colors, a golden color that resembles gold leaf, and a sunset-like orange-red color.
It looks beautiful and exudes infinite vitality.
Huo Wen'an stood under the trunk of the tree, lined with the giant tree.
Song Chi asked, "What kind of tree is this?" ”
Huo Wen'an shook his head, "I don't know its name, I only know that it is very old, according to the residents of Siwei Town, this tree should be thousands of years old." ”
"Since the day the Huo family moved to Shenyin Island, this tree has been so big."
Andariel was wearing a light blue dress, and she carried the skirt and gracefully walked around the ancient tree, suddenly gently touching the ancient tree and holding an index finger to her lips. "Shh
"Listen."
Song Chi was stunned, and hurriedly leaned against the trunk of the tree like Andariel, holding his breath and listening carefully.
He heard a sound like running water.
"There's the sound of water running in this tree." Song Chi felt incredible.
"It is known as the sacred tree of Shenyin Island." Andariel looked pious, and she said: "The people of Siwei Town say that if you call on it with a sincere heart and get an answer from it, then your request will surely be fulfilled." ”
Song Chi asked, "Then how do I know if my call has been answered by it?" ”
Andariel shook his head: "I don't know, so far, no one has successfully called on it." ”
"And what's going on with the sound of water flowing in the trunk?" It was the first time Song Chi encountered this kind of evil thing, "Is there a water source hidden here?" ”
Huo Wen'an shook his head, "No, we have injected detection instruments into it, but no obvious moisture has been detected. What is going on with this sound of running water, even researchers can't explain. ”
Xu Xingguang, who had been silent, suddenly said, "It's not water, it's blood." ”
"What?" Everyone, including Andariel, cast surprised glances at Xu Xingguang.
Huo Wenan asked Xu Xingguang: "Starlight, why do you think so?" ”
The moment Xu Xingguang put his hand on the tree, he felt a strange energy. She said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a World Spirit Tree. ”
"What's that?" Song Chi was unheard of.
"There is a spirit in the world, and it will turn into a spirit tree and hide it in the world. Its roots are the veins of the world's mountains and rivers, its trunk is the blood of all living beings in the world, and its leaves are the heart of the world's living beings. ”
"In short, once a world produces a wise 'spirit,' that 'spirit' becomes a tree that blesses the world."
"Therefore, the sound of the water that we hear is the sound of the blood flowing of all living beings in the mundane world." She stared at the roots of the ancient tree, and said, "The root of this tree, it passes through the bottom of the island of Shenyin, connecting the leylines of the entire mundane world. ”
Xu Xingguang looked at Huo Wen'an, revealing a thoughtful gaze.
"It is said that the birthplace of world consciousness is the location of the World Spirit Tree." In other words, the world consciousness and the world spirit tree are in a relationship of birth and companionship.
This tree is the place where the soul rests and recuperates after the death of the body.
"Really?" Huo Wen'an caught a glimpse of Andariel sticking to the trunk of the tree, looking gentle and intoxicated, he guessed a possibility, so he asked Andariel: "Mother, when you and your father first got married, did you often come here for dates?" ”
'Dating' is a real implicit statement.
Andariel probably thought of the sweet past when she and Huo Canghai camped and dated under the sacred tree during the newlywed period, and she always maintained her elegance and decency as a princess, and she couldn't help but show the shy expression of her little daughter.
She glanced at Huo Wen'an with disgust, and quickly changed the topic stiffly: "The sun is about to set, Wen'an, you should quickly lead the starlight rehearsal." ”
"Okay."

All the adult members of the Huo nationality rushed back to Shenyin Island from all over the world to change into sacrificial clothes and participate in the annual sacrificial festival.
The festival begins in the evening and lasts until the early hours of the morning.
Huo Wen'an and Xu Xingguang changed into the same robe and stood at the front of the Huo clan, like a helmsman, leading all the people of the Huo clan forward.
A huge circle was built under the sacred tree, and they first walked around the sacrificial square, and when they walked, everyone had to keep quiet, keep their heads up, and carry the sacrifices of meat and fruits and vegetables in their hands.
After walking a circle, sit on the ground and recite prayers facing the sacred tree.
After singing the blessing words, Huo Wen'an stepped on the long stairs, climbed the sacrificial platform step by step, stood under the ancient tree and began to dance the great god.
It was said that he was a great god of jumping, but when he raised his staff and began to worship the moon, the momentum on his body suddenly became divine and solemn.
At that moment, Xu Xingguang had the feeling of seeing Shenyin He'an.
And the Huo family members behind her also felt Huo Wen'an's instantaneous change in aura, and for a while, the clansmen who were originally a little tired subconsciously sat up more upright.
They looked at the Shenwu man who seemed to be able to compete with the sun and the moon in the high place, and they all looked with respect and respect.
Huo Canghai was old and had difficulty moving, so he and Andariel did not participate in this year's sacrificial festival. As the eldest grandson of the Huo family, Song Chi sat behind Xu Xingguang, while Huo Wenbei, whose body had not yet recovered, sat quietly beside Song Chi.
They are brothers, but after Song Chi was captured by Rashomon, Huo Wenbei was born, and the brothers were a pair of strangers.
Huo Wenbei lost a lot of weight, and last year he wore a sacrificial dress that still fits well, but this year, he looks empty when he wears it.
He looked up at the man dancing to the moon under the sacred tree, and felt an unprecedented frustration in his heart.
Today's Huo Wen'an has become an unattainable mountain.
He has only the qualifications to look up to the mountains.
Song Chi, who had never taken the initiative to say a word to Huo Wenbei, suddenly whispered: "When I see him, I seem to see the emperor of the world." ”
They only have the share of bowing down to the emperor.
Huo Wenbei was shocked, he glanced at this strange eldest brother, and after a while, he shook his head with a wry smile. "Do you think so?"
Song Chi: "Hmm. ”
After a sacrificial dance, Huo Wen'an, who had recovered seventy or eighty percent of his body, was also so tired that his clothes were wet. But his eyes were as bright as stars, and his spirit shone.
After the sacrifice is over, those who should disperse disperse, and those who should gather continue to gather.
Huo Wen'an took Xu Xingguang's hand, took the lead in leaving, and took a special plane back to the helm's mansion.
Knowing that they were hungry, Andariel had the kitchen prepare dinner in advance and wait. When they got home, Andariel, who looked sleepy, went to the bedroom to rest.
Today's sacrificial festival, you can't eat meat, and dinner is all ingredients. A serving, morel mushroom roasted black tofu, smoked matsutake mushrooms, a cup of delicious bamboo sunflower eggs, two bowls of somen noodles, and some pastries.
The Chinese chef at the helm of the mansion has extraordinary cooking skills, and Rao can't find anything dissatisfied with Xu Xingguang's critical eye. Real food, whether it's meat or vegetable, is tantalising.
Xu Xingguang ate eight minutes full, and drank half a bowl of soup, only then did he feel better in his stomach.
Huo Wen'an didn't have a big appetite and ended eating early, but he didn't stop chopsticks, so he gently and patiently accompanied Xu Xingguang to enjoy it slowly.
When Xu Xingguang put down the soup bowl and picked up the soft napkin to wipe the corners of his mouth, he put down his chopsticks and said while wiping his hands: "This year, where do you want to celebrate the New Year?" ”
Xu Xingguang didn't pay attention to this, "Whatever, but you have to accompany me back to Yujiang City a year ago, and I want to worship my mother." ”
Mo Yinshu's corpse sank into Yujiang City, and he didn't know where he was washed away, and he didn't even have a grave. But Xu Xingguang still wanted to go to the river beach in Yujiang City to burn some paper.
"Done." Huo Wenan said again: "Do you want to go to the Kunze Mountains to see your grandfather?" ”
Xu Xingguang's heart moved.
She wanted to go.
But thinking that this year is their first year of marriage, it is reasonable that they should stay in the Huo family for the New Year, so they said: "Let's celebrate the New Year in the Huo family, and then go to the Kunze Mountains after the New Year." ”
"Okay."
After the Hundred Medicines Meeting, Xu Xingguang is going to the Shenwu Realm, and before leaving, he should also go to say goodbye to his grandfather.
After arranging the itinerary for the New Year, Huo Wenan asked her again: "When will you go back to the Chinese Medicine Hall?" ”
"Tomorrow."
Hearing this, Huo Wen'an stood up and said, "Since that's the case, let's go to sleep." ”
"Are you sleepy?"
"Nope." Huo Wenan shook his head, grabbed Xu Xingguang's hand, pulled her up and said, "Let's be sleepy together." ”
Xu Xingguang looked at his reddened neck and earlobes funny, and went back to the bedroom with him.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Huo Wen'an pressed her against the wall of the entrance hall of the suite, he was rarely a little anxious, kissing her and complaining: "After we got married, this is the second time." ”
Xu Xingguang laughed sullenly, reached out and rubbed Huo Wen'an's earlobe, she said, "Then you must have fun tonight." ”
"Okay."

Xu Xingguang returned to Kyoto at noon the next day, Huo Wenan put her on a special plane and pulled her directly into the lounge. "I was tired last night, and it will take many hours to go to Kyoto, so you can get a good night's sleep."
Xu Xingguang also cooperated with him.
Huo Wenan accompanied her and watched her fall asleep, and then got off the plane.
Back in Kyoto, Xu Xingguang didn't go back to Huojiatun, and went directly to the Chinese medicine hall. She usually stays here until 11 o'clock at night before returning home.
Xu Xingguang carried two food boxes packed from Shenyin Island and went to Ying Ziyao's dormitory first. The heating was turned on in the dormitory, and as soon as she entered the room, she took off her long down jacket to keep out the cold and hung it on a hanger.
"Uncle, sister, I brought you food."
Ying Ziyao had long heard that the chefs on Shenyin Island had good skills, and when he saw that Xu Xingguang had specially brought them food, there was a slight smile on his cold and world-weary face.
"You've got a heart."
Ying Ziyao pointed to the small coffee table in the living room, "Put it on that table." ”
"Okay."
Xu Xingguang didn't eat dinner either.
The three of them sat cross-legged around the coffee table, and Ying Ziyao didn't say a word and concentrated on cooking. Huo Xin ate two bowls of rice, but she didn't feel full, she stared at the table full of food, and said a little strangely: "I don't seem to have enough to eat recently." ”
Hearing this, Ying Ziyao stopped his chopsticks, turned his head to look at Huo Xin, and suddenly asked, "What is your menstrual date?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Xingguang looked at Huo Xin's stomach in surprise.
Huo Xin, who didn't feel too full just now, suddenly stopped being hungry this time.
Her seductive eyes widened slightly.
Huo Xin stared at her flat lower abdomen, counted the time, and suddenly her expression changed slightly. "Me"
Ying Ziyao wiped his mouth and said to Huo Xin, "Reach over." ”
Huo Xin hesitated, but still handed her right hand to Ying Ziyao.
Ying Ziyao cut her pulse, he was experienced, as soon as he touched Huo Xin's pulse, he felt that there seemed to be a string of small bubbles rolling through the veins under his fingers.
Slippery pulse can diagnose symptoms such as phlegm drinking, food stagnation, and real heat. In the absence of illness, there is only one reason why a slippery pulse can be diagnosed.
Pregnant.
"I'm pregnant." Ying Ziyao said lightly.
Huo Xin's expression was solemn.
Xu Xingguang asked her: "You Jiaoyang's?" ”
Huo Xin glanced at Xu Xingguang, frowned and said, "Otherwise, who could it be?" ”
"He's going to love this kid." Xu Xingguang patted Huo Xin's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, tell him the news, and you will face it together." ”
"Happiness belongs to two people, and the responsibility naturally has to be borne by two people."
Hearing this, Huo Xin immediately looked away. "You're right."
She grabbed her phone and went out.
As soon as Huo Xin went out, Ying Ziyao said to Xu Xingguang: "You have a ruddy complexion, and at first glance you are a girl with punctual menstruation and good health." People of your constitution are very easy to conceive. ”
"If you don't want to have a baby at this time, you have to pay more attention." When Ying Ziyao used to be in Cangshan Town, he often met confused adults who were pregnant with children and didn't want them.
He hopes that Xu Xingguang can be a mature adult.
Xu Xingguang said: "Huo Wen'an's body has not fully recovered, and we will not have children at this time." "If you are really going to have a child, you must have to wait until Huo Wen'an's body fully recovers.
Nodding, Ying Ziyao said, "That's good." ”
Hahaha, the title party deceives, Starlight is not pregnant.
That's 4,000 words today
