Volume 1: Reminiscences of a Youth's Heart Chapter 53: Faith Never Changes (3)
Nie Donglai raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, how can you see it?"
Mu Guitian said: "The reason why Shengxuan City is so prosperous today is all because of him, no, it should be said that today's Shengxuan City was originally established by him." ”
And his original intention was just to let the people of his city have a little pure land in their hearts in the stormy rivers and lakes. ”
Nie Donglai said: "He is from the imperial court?"
Mu Guitian shook his head and said, "No, he is from the rivers and lakes." ”
Nie Donglai said: "I don't understand!"
Mu Guitian said: "For a long time, the three major khanates of the Chagatai Khanate, the Ilkhanate and the Golden Horde have been eyeing the territory of our Great Yuan, and between the two, there will be large-scale wars breaking out from time to time, and the location of Shengxuan City is exactly the dividing point between the three khanates and my Great Yuan Dynasty, and there was no Shengxuan City at that time. ”
Nie Donglai nodded, Mu Guitian had told himself about this before, and at that time there was only a lonely city wall here.
Mu Guitian continued: "After years of war, it is the people who suffer after all, especially some people near Shengxuan City who are homeless and miserable, not to mention the problem of food and clothing, and even their own lives are suffering day by day. ”
Once, when he passed through a small village, he learned about the situation from the local villagers, and he made up his mind that he must let these homeless people live a safe and secure life, and no longer let them become victims of war. ”
Nie Donglai's face was complicated, and he said, "Yes, justice may be late, but it will never be absent." ”
He finally understood now why the Holy Pen Xuan Sword had some such high prestige in the Holy Xuan City, and why everyone here had such reverence for his statue.
Because he deserves it.
What is a big husband? Serving the country and the people, and caring for the world is the real act of a big man.
Mu Guitian nodded in agreement and said: " At that time, he decided to build a city here, so that all the people affected by the war could live a carefree life, for this reason, he made a special trip here, took the envoy at that time, met with His Majesty the Emperor, and persuaded him to build the city of Shengxuan here, and sent heavy troops to protect the safety of the people in the city, and he himself visited the three khanates one by one alone, and it took a total of seven years before the lords of the three khanates agreed to never again invade the territory of the Great Yuan and coexist peacefully. ”
Speaking of this, Mu Guitian suddenly paused.
"No one knows what method he used to persuade them, only that when he came back again, there was a group of highly skilled and mysterious people under his command, which was later known as the [History of the Nether Inspector]. ”
"When he came back, it happened to be when this city was built, and later His Majesty the Emperor gave this city the name of the word [Shengxuan] that he left on the city wall: Shengxuan City, and he was naturally in charge of Shengxuan City, and strangely enough, in the peace agreement signed between the three khanates and our Great Yuan Dynasty, it was clearly stipulated that Shengxuan City did not belong to the three khanates, nor to the Great Yuan Dynasty, but only belonged to the Holy Pen Xuanjian. ”
Nie Donglai was stunned and said, "In other words, Saint Xuan City belongs to Saint Pen Xuanjian?"
He couldn't imagine what he had been through during those seven long years.
But he could imagine what it was like for a person from an enemy country to have no relatives on the land of the enemy country.
His supreme glory must be built on his bitterness and bitterness.
Mu Guitian nodded and said, "Yes, not long after he came back, the name of the Holy Pen Xuan Sword spread in the rivers and lakes. ”
Of course, this is not a good thing, and it also means that more and more people want to become famous, so they come to challenge him, but without exception, all the people who come are defeated by his sword, so his fame in the rivers and lakes is getting bigger and bigger, you know, people in the rivers and lakes sometimes look at reputation more important than life, although his reputation is getting bigger and bigger, but this can't stop those who are obsessed with fame from challenge, therefore, the rivers and lakes even set off a wave of challenging the Holy Pen Xuan Sword. ”
Nie Donglai listened with a surging heart and said, "Then what is the result?"
Mu Guitian glanced at him and said, "As a result, he made a decision that no one imagined. ”
Nie Donglai said, "What decision?"
Mu Guitian said: "He handed over Shengxuan City to his subordinate [Netherworld Inspector History] to take care of, and then he wandered the world alone, and let out the words, if anyone wants to challenge him, every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they will come to Shengxuan City, and he will wait for them here." ”
Nie Donglai said: "He is chic. ”
Mu Guitian said: "He is an unruly person, although he is gone, but Shengxuan City has not changed at all, because no one dares to underestimate him and his [Netherworld Supervision History], even now, he has long disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and the night of Shengxuan City is still so peaceful and prosperous." ”
Nie Dong looked at the crowd in the square who seemed to be tirelessly worshipping the statue of the Holy Pen Xuan, and added, "His people are still so devout to him. ”
Mu Guitian said: "Not only his people, but also those who listen to his deeds are highly respected by him, because he is the god in their hearts and their eternal faith." ”
Nie Donglai said: "Yes, although others have disappeared, his soul will never be broken. ”
Some people are alive and he is dead, and some people are dead and he is still alive.
The Sword of the Holy Pen undoubtedly belongs to the latter.
Mu Guitian said: "Another reason why Shengxuan City can become a city that never sleeps is that the people of Shengxuan City are unwilling to let darkness come here, and they don't want the god in their hearts to be corrupted by darkness, because in their hearts, their god is always bright and holy. Therefore, whether it is day or night, there is always an endless stream of people who come here to pray for the blessing of the Holy Pen Xuanjian, and even some of the people of Shengxuan City stay here for months, just to accompany and protect the faith in their hearts. ”
Nie Donglai suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour, and said, "The same is true of Saint Xuan City during the day?"
In this treacherous rivers and lakes, Shengxuan City is indeed a pure land, in this pure land, people's hearts will be washed, and in this pure land, people's souls will be sublimated.
Mu Guitian said expressionlessly: "No, the Holy Xuan City during the day will become a bloody river and lake. ”
Nie Donglai said, "Those [Nether Inspector History] don't care?"
Mu Guitian said: "Except for this square, they never ask about other places, because they only follow the orders of the Holy Pen Xuan Sword, and they are only interested in matters related to the Holy Pen Xuan Sword. Of course, no one would choose to make trouble here, because as long as you enter the Holy Xuan City, this place will always be sacrosanct. ”
Nie Donglai didn't speak, his gaze stayed motionless on the statue of the Holy Pen Xuanjian.
Mu Guitian also did not speak, and his gaze rarely took off the statue of the Holy Pen Xuanjian from beginning to end, because he was also his faith.
