Chapter 1: The Pain of a Snowy Night
Heaven and earth He Ren, with all things as dogs, bustling, why does everything come from, all desires, fairy thoughts, demon attachments, the wheel of fate moves leisurely, wisps of silk, everything has a fixed number......
The horse's hooves trampled down, and the wheels rolled and crushed the ice on the ground. At this moment, it was the cold winter wax moon, the snow was falling and the ice was biting, and in the border between the Seven Xuan Kingdom and the neighboring Tianyun Country, a team of carriages was moving slowly and steadily on the snow-covered mountain path.
From the luxurious decoration of the carriage and the sturdy horses that pulled it, it is not difficult to see the dignity of the owner. On both sides of the carriage, war horses were mounted, and two columns of stubborn cavalry put a veil of mystery on the characters in the carriage.
The Seven Xuan Kingdoms and the Heavenly Fortune Kingdom are all small empires in the barren land on the edge of the Jiuding Continent. It is far from the nine empires with a history of tens of thousands of years in the most prosperous center of the continent. The two countries, which were founded less than 200 years ago, were only the lowliest vassal states of the Hundred War Empire. But how can a person with such pomp and circumstance be ordinary here.
As they were marching, an officer at the front of the queue rode to the carriage and reported to the people inside: "Young master, young lady, now that the mountain road is snowy and difficult to walk, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Qingsang City before sunset." And if the road is covered with snow, it will inevitably be dangerous if you rush overnight, there is a mountain temple in front of us, let's rest there for the night, and then we will go tomorrow!" The person in the car groaned for a moment, and a deep male voice came out: "Yes." When the officer heard this, he returned to the front of the queue and conveyed the order to everyone.
After a short time, the procession stopped in front of the mountain temple, and a man and a woman walked out of the carriage. The man is tall and mighty, and the heroic man has a majesty cultivated in a high position all the year round, while the woman is wearing a robe with phoenix eyes and eyebrows, gorgeous and moving, extremely beautiful. But it is slightly close to the lower abdomen, which is slightly graceful.
The man supported the woman and walked towards the mountain temple, which had already been cleaned by his subordinates. Walking to the temple gate, he seemed to remember something, and turned back to the officer and ordered: "Wait for the bowl of porridge to be brought in, and put more brown sugar." The officer replied with a smile: "It's the young master, you personally ordered it every time, and the cook has long remembered it." The woman couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and the man also chuckled and said, "You kid has been itching again lately, haven't you?" The officer didn't even dare to shout, and ran to inform the cook to cook porridge.
Naturally, such a dialogue cannot be an ordinary master-servant relationship. This officer is his chief of guard, and his friend who has played together since childhood, and the son of the housekeeper in the house. And this man's identity is even more noble, he is the founding father of the Seven Xuan Kingdoms, the great-great-grandson of the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty, Feng Li, the grandson of the Feng family, the hereditary title, he is only more than thirty years old and is in charge of a side of the soldiers and horses, and he is a nine-star Douwang powerhouse.
You must know that in a small country like the Seven Xuan Kingdom, the strongest person is only in the realm of the Dou Huang, and he is still a low-level Dou Huang who is no more than three stars, and Feng is already a nine-star Dou Wang at such an age, and he will definitely break through the emperor realm in the future, and even reach the realm of the Dou Zong that only the big countries and great sects have, which can be described as a promising future!
In the Kingdom of the Seven Gens, it is believed that children born in the ancestral land can be blessed by their ancestors. This time, Wang Xuerou was pregnant, and the couple returned to their hometown to give birth to their ancestors according to custom. But what I didn't expect was that on the way home, I encountered a blizzard that was rare for several years, and the heavy snow closed the mountain and delayed it for more than a month, and the delivery date was approaching. The couple had no choice but to discuss the snowy journey, but fortunately, the journey was safe.
After arranging Wang Xuerou, Feng Li walked out of the mountain temple and stood at the temple gate to look at the falling snow. Feng Li thought back to this journey, perhaps because of the deterrence of the two columns of personal guard cavalry, and there were no unsightly thieves who dared to rob the road and rob the luxurious carriage along the way.
The first half of the journey was quite smooth, but the second half of the snow-capped mountain road was really difficult. Although it was nothing for him as a nine-star Dou King, and he had experienced worse times than this when he led the troops, this time he was bringing his pregnant wife, and he couldn't help but feel extremely irritable about this trip. Fortunately, tomorrow she will be able to reach the ancestral land of Qingsang City, and Rou'er will no longer have to suffer from the bumps in the journey, thinking of this, Feng Li couldn't help but look back at his wife who was already lying down and asleep.
After a while, the officer Fengyun came over with a can of porridge and a large piece of barbecue. Seeing Feng Li standing at the gate of the temple, he asked, "Big brother, what about my sister-in-law, are you sleeping?" Feng Li said: "Just lie down and fall asleep, let's put the porridge next to the bonfire first." "In private, the two are admittedly brothers. Fengyun handed the meat to Feng Li and put the porridge away, and said to Feng Li: "Then big brother, let's eat some first, I'll go see the brothers." "Go," the wind departed. Hearing the response, Fengyun also left.
The weather is getting colder and colder at night. The snowy night in the cold winter was silent, and only the yawn of the night watchman by the campfire could be heard from time to time, and the sound of the pot of porridge that had been placed by the fire boiling. But suddenly a loud thunderclap broke the silence of the snowy night, and the heavens and the earth were as bright as day in an instant, and the entire camp was awakened in an instant. And following this roar, the thunder continued one after another, and the night was faint and faint.
After settling down with his frightened wife, Feng Li walked out of the temple gate, listened to the continuous thunder, looked at the land illuminated by lightning, and felt very puzzled when he thought about this strange appearance. But what he didn't know was that this strange phase did not only appear in the generation near Qingsang City, but all over the Jiuding Continent, and countless masters of the Nine Great Empires went out to find its roots, but they all found nothing, and could only record this incident on a file dedicated to recording supernatural events! Of course, this is a later story for the time being.
Fengli thought about it to no avail, so he returned to the temple to take care of his wife. But he was shocked at the first sight of his wife, whose face was full of pain. At this time, a lightning bolt lit up the temple, and he could see clearly that there was a large pool of blood on his wife's lower body.
Coming back to his senses, Feng Li broke out of the door as soon as possible, and rushed to the doctor's tent who accompanied him to prevent accidents. Grabbed the doctor who had just been awakened by the thunder and returned to the temple. The power of the Nine Star Dou King is so great, and how fast is the speed! The doctor was almost carried by Feng Li to the temple, and he was still terrified when he stopped.
However, seeing Wang Xuerou's situation, the doctor quickly figured out the situation. Said quickly to Fengli: "Young master, young lady, this is due to the unexpected premature birth just now, it is very dangerous, please call the midwife quickly." However, adults and children may only be able to save one, and the other can only say that they have done their best. Please make a decision, young master. ”
Feng Li heard this like a slap in the face, and he was immersed in the joy of being a father for nearly ten months, but this is the result! But he still quickly calmed down, and did not pay attention to his wife's request to protect the child, but resolutely asked: "Lord Bao!" After saying this, this iron-clad man seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden!
After calling the accompanying midwife, Feng Li walked to the temple gate in despair, and the outside was already full of people. Originally, because they were awakened by the thunder, everyone was not asleep yet, and the wind was too loud to break the door in an eager way just now, so everyone noticed. But seeing Feng Li's appearance, no one dared to ask anything, not even Fengyun. Hurriedly let everyone go back to the tent, and then quietly watched this good brother and good general wandering outside the door, Fengyun silently prayed for Wang Xuerou and the child in his heart! At this time, the snow became heavier and heavier, and the thunder and lightning became more and more frequent, as if it was about to tear the sky apart!
A quarter of an hour later, suddenly there was a flash of lightning in the sky that seemed to blind the eyes, and a deafening thunderclap. At this moment, the door of the temple, which had been crumbling by the wind, opened with a sound*.
The midwife walked out and said to Feng Li: "Young master, the young lady is already fine, but ......" said that here the midwife became speechless.
"But how?" Seeing the appearance of the eldest brother at the moment, and hearing the midwife's vomiting, he said angrily. The midwife was startled by this angry shout, but she still stubbornly said, "But...... But the little master didn't keep it!"
Although he had been prepared, he really heard the bad news and confirmed that Fengli was still stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, and his body was trembling uncontrollably! The snow had stopped at some point, and even the thunder and lightning had stopped! The cold night had returned to silence and darkness, and the bonfire, which had been almost extinguished because it had not been filled with new wood for a long time, was emitting its last light and heat in the cold wind.
What no one noticed was that when the last loud thunder rang out, there was a "snort". On a col not far from the temple, a crack exploded in the black night, as if the brocade silk was torn, and then a little light suddenly appeared in the air, fluttering and falling downward.
Here, Fengli finally reluctantly accepted this fact, and looked at the eight-point child who looked like himself who was still warm but not breathing. couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, and finally relented, handed the child to Fengyun and said: "Find a place to bury him on the spot, let him be reincarnated as soon as possible." ”
Fengyun took the child and hesitated: "Big brother, don't you let your sister-in-law see the child?" "I'm afraid she will be even sadder when she sees the child." Don't let her see it, I'll tell her. "The wind and clouds answered. "Alright then, I'll go" Fengyun didn't hesitate anymore after speaking, picked up the torch, picked up the child and left. For he knew that watching a child who should have been lively and crying gradually become cold and stiff, there was no more serious torture than to leave a man who was still immersed in the joy of being a father an hour ago.
He walked around the temple with the child in his arms, trying to find a suitable burial place for the child! Finally found a satisfactory place under a giant pine that was still verdant in the cold winter nearby, and the strength of Fengyun was also a master in the Seven Xuan Kingdom, and it was a three-star Douwang realm, and it was easy to use martial arts to blast out a big pit in the ground and bury the child. You don't have to worry about forgetting the place when you mark the largest pine in a radius, and you can come and see it from time to time in the future. After doing all this, Fengyun raised his head and looked around to make his memory more solid, and suddenly he noticed that something seemed to glow on the col not far away, which was unusually conspicuous in the dark night.
When I got closer, it was a newborn baby, and he didn't cry, blinking his big black eyes and looking at the wind and clouds curiously. The light just now was emitted by the jade pendant hanging around his neck. Feng Li picked up the child and took a closer look, and was extremely surprised, only to see that this child was at least four or five points similar to his eldest brother Feng Li, and when he picked up the jade pendant that was shining just now, it was engraved with the word wind and dust. Seeing this, Fengyun suddenly had a word in his heart that he didn't believe in, "Heaven gives the son", but it seems that there is only one explanation, otherwise how to explain this bizarre scene.
Fengyun persuaded himself so in his heart, holding this "child given by the sky" and quickly running back to the mountain temple.
