Chapter 25 Chapter Eleven: Relatives Soaked in Water

The three people looked up at these strange and mysterious patterns curiously, but they didn't know what purpose they had hanging high in the sky. But the bear couple looked at it carefully for a while, and then cried out. "Star map! There is also a star map here!" Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er looked at him curiously and asked in unison. "What star chart?" The bear couple showed a puzzled look, pointed to the sky and said. "In the sky, the stars have their own positions, and among the officials in the deep palace, there are some who are tasked with observing the stars in order to predict the good and bad luck of the world.

Although the pattern on the top is pretty, if you look carefully, there are still many stars behind the pattern, and there seems to be a group of stars in each pattern. The classification of the star map has long been classified in the palace of our Chu State, which is roughly similar to the feudal kingdoms in the world today. The stars in the sky are divided into twenty-eight constellations, and each constellation is a kind of beast, such as the female soil bat, Shihuo Pigs or something, but they are not quite the same as these twelve kinds of light clusters. For example, behind the half-man half-horse pattern, there is a group of stars, and there is a cloud in the sky: "The Big Dipper is the master of life, and the South Dipper is the master of death." Part of this group of stars is called "Nandou Qunxing" in Taishi records, and the master of death weapons.But no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with that half-human, half-horse monster..."

His narration was very clear, as if it was knowledge that he couldn't be more familiar with. Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er were dumbfounded when they heard it, because this kind of knowledge was exclusive to the imperial court in the current world, and ordinary Shengdou people needless to say understood it, even if they heard it, they might have never heard it.Hu'er was very interested when he heard him say "Nandou Master is dead", and couldn't help praising him casually. "You know a lot, buddy! It's as if you've only learned such tricks since you were a child."

Xiong Lu smiled slightly, but did not deny it. The three of them followed behind the long-faced strange man "Hua Ren", walked through the passage under the twelve light groups, and walked for a while, and came to a place that looked like an ordinary hall. Although this place is still terrifyingly large, it is still more like an ordinary decoration that the three of them take for granted. Since entering Yangcheng, all they have seen in the past two days are strange and unbelievable places, even eating and drinking. It's a weird thing that can't be said in words. It's a bit surprising to see a more ordinary place this time.

I saw that the brightness of the hall was still poor, as if the lights were not bright enough, "Huaren" led them in, there were a few big chairs in the hall, elegant flowers on the table, but the walls were dark. There are countless pictures with strange materials (at that time, human beings had not invented paper, so Dongguan Lu and others did not know what paper was, and even the pictures drawn on paper were incomprehensible.) On the chair in the hall, there is an extremely tall old man sitting quietly at this time. This old man has a majestic appearance. Although he is just sitting there, his whole body is already staggeringly tall. If he stands up , but do not know how tall.

The "Human" walked up to the tall old man, cupped his hands slightly, and said in a hissing voice. "Yiyang, I have brought you three children." The old man nodded slightly, his eyes were extremely bright and energetic, and he glanced up and down at Dongguan Brigade and the others. Although the old man's appearance was mighty, his eyes were quite kind and gentle, which would not make people feel any sense of fear. . "My name is Yiyang Xuanyi," the old man said loudly, "I live in the Biluomen. I am very pleased to see the descendants of 'Xingjian' today."

The East Gate Brigade looked at him curiously, and found that apart from the many wrinkles on his face, the old man was still quite flexible in his demeanor, and he was not old at all. It has a reddish hue. And the appearance of the old man is not quite similar to that of ordinary people. His brows and eyebrows are quite deep, and his whole face seems to be carved, very clear and three-dimensional. The old man's eyes are even more strange. A faint blue brilliance. More importantly, Dongguan Brigade has a strange ability since he was a child. He can see some strange phenomena that ordinary people cannot see with the naked eye. "The strange light and shadow.

When he met the Dou family nobleman who used Yuanshen to cut off a person's head in Chu State Prison, he could clearly see the blue "Yuanshen" behind that person. At this moment, behind the old man Yiyang Xuanyi, there is such a strange "primordial spirit" suspended. Seeing his surprised expression, Yiyang Xuanyi was slightly taken aback, then understood the reason, so he smiled slightly. "Good boy, you can see the primordial spirit too, can't you?" The Dongguan Brigade nodded, but Xiong Lu on the side thought about it and asked in a deep voice. "Excuse me, your old man said that we are 'descendants of stars and arrows', what does that mean?"

Yiyang Xuanyi looked at the three teenagers thoughtfully, and nodded after a while. "So that's the case, that's the way it is, of course you don't know it yet." As he spoke, he waved the sleeves of his dressing gown, and he didn't know what method he used to dim the lights in the entire room suddenly. It was suddenly darkened like this, only to find another faint blue-white light source in the hall quietly reflected from Yiyang Xuanyi's side. When they were illuminated by such a blue and white light, the three people including Dongguan Brigade were taken aback, only to see a faint red light in front of them again.

Although they couldn't see the light on their own foreheads, they could clearly see the stars on the heads of the other two. From the angles of the three people, it is such a strange scene. "This kind of red starlight is the best evidence of 'Heirs of the Stars and Arrows'," Yiyang Xuanyi said lightly: "As far as I know, there will only be three people in each life, and the red star in this life" "Heirs of the Star and Arrow" are all from the royal family of Chu State." As soon as these words came out, the three teenagers were startled. From their cognition, they only knew that among the three, Hu'er was the illegitimate son of the previous King Cheng (but in fact his real father was "Hu'er"). Du Ao, "Xiong Xi, switched identities with the Dongguan Brigade only because of a misunderstanding), as for the Dongguan Brigade and Xiong Lu who are also the royal family of Chu, this matter sounds quite unbelievable.

Hu'er stared wide-eyed, pointing at Dongguan Brigade and Xiong Lu in a stuttering manner. "You...you, are you also from the royal family of Chu?" The Dongguan brigade was confused, and also somewhat at a loss. Although he was indeed the biological son of King Chu Cheng back then, since he fell into the deep valley and was picked up by the Orion couple, no one knew about it anymore. Yiyang Xuanyi said that he was a nobleman of the royal family of Chu, but it was difficult for him to accept it for a while. Yiyang Xuanyi looked at the bewildered expressions of the teenagers, and just smiled lightly. "Is it strange? Actually, it's not strange at all. I know that your identity has been recognized when you were very young. I will explain this to you in detail later. But you are a young man..." He looked at Xiong Lu meaningfully, with an intriguing expression on his face. "I have known and confirmed the identities of the two of them a long time ago. You, the third Star and Arrow descendant... As far as I know, besides the two of them, there is only one Star and Arrow descendant left in this world, and I already knew his identity..." But the couple of bears didn't seem surprised, just smiled quietly and listened attentively to what he said. Only Yiyang Xuanyi said leisurely. "The third Star and Arrow, I know that he was born in Chu Palace more than ten years ago, and he was also the son of King Chu Mu. After so many years, this child has already been established as the eldest son of the Chu State, and will succeed the Chu State's throne. Do you have any explanation for this matter, young man? " When he said this, Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er both stared wide-eyed, as if they had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world. But the couple of bears still calmed down, rolled their eyes mischievously, and let out a long sigh. "I don't have anything to explain. Senior really knows all the truths in the world, and this little trick really didn't fool you. Yes, my name is Chu Lu, and Xiong Lu is my nickname. My father is Mu Wang Shangchen, and I am indeed the eldest son of Chu State today. " Although Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er had roughly guessed what was going on, it was naturally even more shocking to say it from Lulu Xiong's mouth. Prince Chu! This little beggar who was dirty not long ago is actually the most honored and honored son of the Chu Kingdom today! Thinking of this, the two of them felt nothing but a bang in their foreheads. Thinking of the many words and deeds since I met Xiong Lu, and the many times I laughed and laughed with him, I couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. I only heard Yiyang Xuanyi say. "Ever since I heard that the three of you came to Yangcheng, I felt a little strange. Dongguan Lu and Hu'er are fine. You are the son of the Chu Kingdom. It stands to reason that you should have a body of gold and jade. You are extremely noble. How could you be with them?" How about living in Shuiyue Residence?" Although it was only the first time for him to meet the three of them, he knew everything about the situation clearly, not only knew the names of Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er, but also knew that the three of them came from Shuiyueju. Hearing his question, Xiong Lu sighed softly. "The reason for this is very strange and complicated. I will often wander outside, in fact, it was my father who taught me. " "Your father taught you?" Yiyang Xuanyi wondered, "Why did he ask you to do such a thing?" "It's just because my father is the king of Chu, but he has been sick in recent years and has no energy to govern the country. Therefore, he has to rely on the help of Dou Family for many important national affairs. But the relationship between the family of the Dou family and the state of Chu is very complicated. On the one hand, they can manage the state of Chu well, but on the other hand, they often do things behind my father's back to cultivate their own power. In recent years, my father has felt more powerless. He thinks that I will fall into the control of Doujia if I live in the palace for many years, so he asks me to go deep into the people. I can learn more about the sufferings of the people, which will also help me become king in the future. " "Why is it safer to ask you to go out and hang out!" Hu'er asked curiously: "Isn't it easier to be beaten on the street?" "Just because I'm in the palace, my safety is in the hands of the Chu Palace, and if anything happens, it has nothing to do with the Doujia, and it's easy for them to plot against me. If I go out of the palace gate, it is regarded as the son of the world who loves to play and breathe, then my safety will become the responsibility of the fighters in charge of the state affairs. Once something happens to me, it will be their responsibility, so they Instead, he dared not do anything to me. Just like that day when I was in the Xingjian Desolation, I walked in boldly, and I was blowing my beard and staring at Dou Ziyu, and he had nothing to do with me. Later, I followed you to Shuiyueju. I thought I could visit the legendary "Yangcheng", so I followed. " Dongguan Brigade nodded and said suddenly. "So when you were on the top of 'Chengyuan' that day, you already knew what Yangcheng was like. Senior Sangyang also wondered how a young man like you would know about Yangcheng!" "That's right, I have hired wise men from Yangcheng in the palace of Chu, and I already know their abilities well," Xiong Lu said, "To tell you the truth, I have another idea when I come here. Over the past few years, I have grown older and experienced more, but I always feel that Dou Ziyu is becoming more and more dangerous to me. In the past, my father thought that he would be afraid of him and dare not harm me outside the palace, but For a while, I felt that he seemed to have other plans, and several times he simply wanted to kill me. Therefore, I am no longer willing to stand still and wait for death. I want to cultivate my own power more, otherwise it doesn't matter if I can't ascend the throne of Chu, and maybe I will lose my life. " Since meeting him, this is the most emotional and longest sentence that Xiong Lu has ever said. Hu'er's personality is passionate and forthright. Hearing him speak like this now, he couldn't help but feel a rush of blood in his chest, so he said loudly. "Okay! Just because we are brothers, Hu'er will help you in this life! We will do our best, even if we want to wear off a layer of skin, we will send you to the throne of Chu!" Through the hands of the Dongguan Brigade. "There is also Xiaolv, right!" Touched by his enthusiasm, the Dongguan Brigade also took a deep breath and said loudly. "right!" Xiong Lu was originally an introverted person, but seeing these two friends helping each other so much, he couldn't help feeling warm and laughed happily. "Okay! If I can ascend to the throne of the Chu Kingdom, I will definitely share the glory and wealth with my two elder brothers for the rest of my life!" The three young children made a wish in this miraculous Biluo Gate at this moment, and it also opened the prelude to the strange feats they built themselves in the future. However, Yiyang Xuanyi on the side did not have their enthusiasm, but a faint sadness appeared in the depths of his eyes. It seemed vaguely that he was not as optimistic as the three teenagers. It's not that they won't achieve any extraordinary achievements, on the contrary, Yiyang Xuanyi has already seen that the three young men are all good-looking, with extraordinary appearance, and they will surely achieve extremely extraordinary careers in the future. What he is not optimistic at the moment is actually Xiong Lu's phrase "Share the prosperity and wealth of the whole life"... Yiyang Xuanyi had extraordinary encounters in his life, his footprints spread all over the world like his ancestors, and he also experienced the joys and sorrows in the world. However, in his memory, there are very few people who can share wealth. It may be easy to share weal and woe. But after adversity, there are very few people who can really share wealth and honor... However, such words are meaningless to the three teenagers at this moment. Yiyang Xuanyi sat there quietly, watching the three of them make an oath, and only stood up after the intense emotion passed. get up. There is a tall and majestic gene in his blood, and standing up is a head taller than the tallest Dongguan brigade among the three. Standing there like a god, the teenagers can't help but be in awe. "Do you want to know what is the meaning of 'offspring of stars and arrows'?" Yiyang Xuanyi said: "Then follow me." Dongguan Brigade and others followed him into a side door next to the hall. They thought it was an ordinary hall, and walking through the side door was the inner room, but after walking out of the hall, they found that the whole space had become countless passages. There are a large number of corridors, and the entrance lies in front of you. Yiyang Xuanyi said: "This is one of the passages in the Biluo Gate. You must know the mystery here, which is deeper than the deepest secret between heaven and earth. Know what's going on." The Dongguan Brigade looked around curiously, fascinated by every new thing they saw. Seeing the curious look of this young man, Yiyang Xuanyi said kindly in his eyes, and said softly. "You... your name is Dongguan Brigade, isn't it?" "Yes." Dongguan brigade nodded. "You must be wondering why I know your name, aren't you?" "I was a little curious at first..." The Dongguan Brigade smiled shyly. "But think about it later, probably senior Sang Yangjie told you? Because he has been here before, and probably told you about our affairs." "No," Yiyang Xuanyi shook his head. "It's not like this." "Isn't that so?" Dongguan Brigade wondered. "I know your name because someone here knows you. Strictly speaking, I should have known you since you were very young, because there is a person here who always wants to see you again. " "Is there someone who wants to see me?" The East Gate Brigade asked in surprise, "No way? How could I know someone from the Biluo Gate?" Yiyang Xuanyi smiled and said nothing, but there was a trace of sadness in his expression. He opened an entrance next to him casually, and signaled for Dongguan Brigade and others to go in. Walking into the entrance, I saw a space about the size of several ordinary houses. There was nothing in this space, only a few shining utensils in the corner, but I couldn't tell why they came from. The only strange thing is that in the middle of the space, there is a transparent tube with the thickness of two people hugging each other, which looks like a half-filled blue liquid. Looking from a distance, there seemed to be something floating in the liquid. Yiyang Xuanyi looked at the transparent tube from a distance, and couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. "Go and see!" He whispered, "Go and see and you will know." The Dongguan Brigade walked over curiously, and when they got closer, they found that what was suspended in the liquid in the pipe was a human body, floating lightly in the water. Hearing the sound of Dongguan Brigade and others walking in, the human body seemed to have a slight reaction, and there were gentle and slow waves in the water. Approaching the transparent giant tube, Dongguan Brigade carefully looked at it carefully, but also with some fear. The human body was floating with its back facing him. Face. After watching for a while, his eyes suddenly opened wide like copper bells, and he screamed out loud. "Father, you are my foster father!" As soon as the words came out, Hu'er and Xiong Lu were startled. Although the two of them had a very good relationship with Dongguan Brigade, they were not familiar enough to know each other's past clearly. No one knows who the foster father of the Dongguan Brigade is. I saw that the "foster father" was also very strong and tall, his whole body was suspended in the blue water, his head was completely bald like an egg, and the strangest thing was that there were growths on his back. A pair of peculiar meat wings. This tall, strong, winged man suspended in the water is of course Dongguan Qingyang. When he was a child in Dongguan Brigade, he met him on the mountain outside Yingdu City. Seeing the extraordinary status of Dongguan Brigade, he decided to take him in. As a adopted son, he even took the surname "Dongguan". It turned out that he met again not long after meeting with the Dongguan Brigade, but he never appeared again. Over the years, the Dongguan Brigade always missed this adoptive father who had only seen him for half a day. At this time, I met him again in this Biluomen full of mysteries. I saw Dongguan Qingyang floating in the blue water, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, his eyes were half-opened, and he was slowly swaying in the water. The Dongguan Brigade eagerly went around, knelt down in front of him, raised its head and yelled with tears in its eyes. "Father! Father!" But Dongguan Qingyang still didn't have much reaction. Yiyang Xuanyi came over, caressing the transparent tube wall with both hands, but laying his ears on the tube wall, and murmured. "Um... well, I see... I'll tell him." After listening for a while, he said seriously. "Your adoptive father is also very happy to see you! He wants me to tell you that you have grown up, and he is very happy. He also wants me to ask you, how is your adoptive father and mother?" Dongguan Brigade knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face like a river bursting out of an embankment. Facing such a strange situation, he was emotionally agitated for a while, but he didn't know how to speak.
