chapter two, the storm
Later, it was reported that Xiao Luoyi had a son and passed away. This made everyone in Bolan City sigh and said that God was jealous of talent and that the proud daughter of heaven died young and regrettable.
Of course, there were also disharmonious voices, saying that the Xiao family had suffered retribution for many evil deeds, but most people in Bolan City were reprimanded in anger.
A few days later, a secret room was in a luxurious giant flying boat flying in the sky. The room seemed a bit strange, and a crystal coffin was placed in the middle of the hall.
A man sat by the window and looked at the mountains flying past below. His elegant folding fan shook slightly. This person was Huaxuan, the "Top Ten Saints" who was in Xiao Mansion.
After tasting the tea on the table, he said to himself, "Miss Xiao is really impressed by this plan, but for this, he will waste his skills and leave his children behind. Such courage really makes me have to look at him with admiration!"
If someone else was afraid that his back would be cold, he could hear a pleasant and pleasant sound from the coffin.
"Young Master Huaxuan is saying that I am ruthless?" As he said that, the lid of the coffin slowly opened, a beautiful and beautiful beauty with clear skin as delicate as a purple long dress, walked out gently and sat next to Huaxuan. Her face was even more beautiful. She kept staring at the window without looking at Huaxuan.
Hua Xuan turned his head and raised his lips slightly, looking at the charming person in front of him and said, "When I saw Miss Xiao, I knew Miss Xiao was the most popular among people, so I wanted to win over Miss Xiao to make a big plan. I don't know whether Miss Xiao believes it. I just think that if Miss Xiao has Miss Xiao, it would be a timely help. I have to tell the truth, but I didn't expect Miss Xiao to have no doubts."
Xiao Luoyi looked back and smiled, raised her red lips and said, "I didn't believe what Mr. Huaxuan said, but after hearing that Mr. Huaxuan said, I did some research and read a lot of ancient scrolls. I felt that what Mr. Huaxuan said was almost the same."
As he said that, he turned his eyes to the mountains and rivers below, and said in a little desolate manner, "It's just a pain for my father, mother and my newly born child." As he said that, he was a little choked. Hua Xuan stood up and said goodbye when he saw this.
"Ms. Xiao is for the people of the world for the billions of creatures, and for the Xiao family and your children. Miss Xiao doesn't have to feel too guilty. Let's say goodbye first. Miss Xiao will give birth to a child and need to rest early. This bottle of pill will help you reply."
As he said that, he put down a small jade bottle and clasped his fists and went out. Xiao Luoyi was the only one left in the room. The already cold room seemed even quieter.
"My little Luochuan, Wei Niang has no choice but to forgive Wei Niang, and Wei Niang is also to open up the road of the locked road for you." As he said that, he looked into the sky, and his eyes seemed like a beast that chose people to eat.
I vaguely remembered the pleading of my parents and relatives to Hua Xuan, the resolute and tender eyes of my father, and the heartbroken expression of Tianyi's sister, Xiao Luoyi felt uncomfortable.
At that time, my father was excited when he heard Hua Xuan say that there was a way to keep his body from rotting and that he would be excited to resurrect himself in the future. Then Hua Xuan struggled so hard when he said he wanted to take him away, but he agreed to it for himself. He discussed the child's name with him and walked out of the room without looking back.
"Just call me Luochuan. I heard that after a person dies, he will return to the underworld. He will pass through the Luochuan River and name the child Luochuan. He will protect you from crossing Luochuan and then return to Xiao's house." The father's loving voice seemed to echo in his ears.
My father is always upright and majestic, and he rarely says such words. Maybe this is what people say is fatherly love and tenderness.
Bolan City, Xiao Mansion. Xiao Xing is located in the conference hall. The long-term leader Xiao family made Xiao Xing majestic and upright, and always exuded the aura of a superior.
Seven or eight elders were seated at the bottom, with different expressions on their faces. The first middle-aged man sitting on Xiaoxing's right hand was Xiaozheng, the eldest elder of the Xiao family.
"Class leader, is Miss Luo Yi's matter true?" Xiao asked with concern.
"It's true" Xiao Xing's expressionless face
"Since it is true, although you are the patriarch, Miss Luo Yi is also my niece. I have watched Luo Yi grow up since I was a child. I can't discuss with me if I have anything to do? I also understand how important Luo Yi is in the clan. If it weren't for Luo Yi, our Xiao family would not have reached its current status in recent years. Why did you say that you would hand over Luo Yi to someone else?" Xiao Zheng scolded him with pain.
Speaking of this, a thin old man located on Xiaoxing's left hand chuckled and said, "What Elder Xiaozheng said is reasonable. Although you are the patriarch, Miss Luo Yi is not an ordinary family member, but the "pillar of the pillar" of the Xiao family!" When talking about the pillar, his tone became slightly heavier.
As he said that, he pointed to the hall, "Look how many of the people here can lack Miss Luo Yi, ah~ The huge Xiao family, who can still gain a foothold in Bolan City." After speaking, he looked at everyone with a look of regret.
The elders sitting in Xiaozheng's side glared at each other, looking at the thin old man, but none of them dared to scold him in public. The elders on the thin old man's side looked sneered and disdained. Because on the one hand, the Xiao family was very strict and could not speak casually in the conference hall, and on the other hand, the thin old man was Xiao Qin, the second elder in the clan, and had great power.
Xiao Xing looked at the two and said, "Okay, Luo Yi is my daughter. I care about her more than anyone else. There is no need to discuss this matter." The eldest elder Xiao was clasping his fists and said no more words. The second elder Xiao Qin sneered.
"The clan leader has the final say, so I can just listen."
"Oh~ Elder Xiaoqin said I'm just a man? Or do you think I'm old and don't want to participate in the discussion?" Xiao Xing looked at Xiaoqin with a slanted eyes and said slowly.
Xiao Qin snorted and raised his lips slightly, looking like an old man, turned his head to the point of expressing himself without saying a word.
Time has been going on six years later. There have been so many major events in the past six years. After Xiao Luoyi left the Xiao family, the power of the Xiao family was gradually eroded by the Han family. With the growth of the Han family's power, the waves of Bolan City became more and more turbulent.
At the four-year spirit opening ceremony, various small and medium-sized families took their four- to eight-year-old children to Bolan City to hold a spirit opening ceremony. For this ceremony, each family prepared for four years.
On the avenue several miles away from Bolan City, various chasing carts began to increase. In an inconspicuous chasing cart, an old man with four children aged a few years old was walking towards Bolan City.
A pink little boy looked at the tall city walls outside the window, exclaiming in a slight voice, "Great Grandpa, great grandpa, there is a mountain in front of him!"
The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at the little guy in front of him with affectionate smiles, "That's not a mountain, that's the wall of Bolan City, Yueyue, be good, don't lie on the window strings and it's unsafe."
"Great grandpa, then..."
Such scenes are not uncommon along the way. Elders who usually hold power in various tribes have now become children. These little guys are very precious and are very likely to be candidates for inheriting the throne in the future. Maybe one of them will lead the tribe to glory in the future.
When we arrived in the city, the main roads that were hundreds of feet wide were bustling, and the attics on both sides of the road were taller and more majestic, with shouts on the road endlessly.
"Look at Luo, the best silk in Bolan City is only five-patterned silver..."
"Do you stay in a hotel or be a top student?"
"Oh~ Isn't this Boss Chen..."
Soon, a lark-like voice came from a distance, chasing a boy from a few years ahead and shouted, "Luochuan, don't run too fast, don't get lost if there are too many people, wait for the aunt. Hurry up, don't lose it."
The following sentence was naturally to the two maids next to the voice, and the maids also squeezed through the crowd and followed.
"Auntie lied to me, hum~ I promised to take Luochuan to Tianjinghai to play, but summer was almost over, but my aunt still didn't take Luochuan to play, and she was busy ignoring Luochuan all day...Wow~" As she said that, she cried out in grievance.
The one who chased after was the beautiful Xiao Tianyi, Luo Chuan's aunt. Xiao Tianyi squeezed through the crowd with difficulty and came to Luo Chuan's side. Squatted down and gently wiped away Luo Chuan's tears. He felt very distressed. The beautiful Xiao Tianyi attracted passers-by to look at him sideways.
"Our Xiao Luochuan is good~ I'm going to take you there after the Spiritual Ceremony. Isn't it still two days left~"
Luo Chuan wiped away the tears from his face with his cuffs, and grandma said in her voice, "The aunt keeps her word, let's hook, my aunt can't break her promise anymore." As she said that, she stretched out a small hand like a tender lotus root and pointed at Xiao Tianyi.
Xiao Tianyi looked at Luo Chuan with a doting face, smiled and nodded, stretched out her hand to hook Luo Chuan.
Two days later, the spirit ceremony of various tribes opened, and the city center square was filled with people from various tribes. There were three glass stone towers about till high on the ceremonial platform. The tower was 9 floors high and looked extremely gorgeous.
Four people were sitting at the high platform behind the ceremonial platform and watching below. Sitting in the middle, the Lord of Bolan City and Long Haotian were the ones who looked like an official look.
The short and fat man sitting on the left with a treacherous face is Han Kun, the head of the Han family. His gorgeous clothes can't cover up the fat body.
Sitting on the first right is the majestic Xiaoxing, and on the right is the most mysterious Liu family leader of Bolan City.
I saw Liu Neng, who had a curly bearded face, looking down at the bottom with a smile. Although he was wearing gorgeous clothes, his strong muscles could not be covered.
Seeing that the time was almost over, the city lord Long Haotian stood up and bowed to the people around and said, "I am the city lord hosting the Spiritual Ceremony today. Do you have any opinions?" It seems that he is asking, but in fact, the city lord hosts the Spiritual Ceremony every year, and everyone rolled their eyes and was filled with slight remarks. But there was another remark on his lips.
“Where is, it should…”
"What's the matter with Lord Long City..."
“That’s natural…”
Long Haotian was not pretentious when he saw this. He stood on the high platform and said to the person under the ceremonial platform, "I am recommended to the lord of this city to be the host of the spirit ceremony..." Long Haotian's voice was extremely loud, and tens of thousands of people in the square could hear it, and his cultivation was evident.
It's also cliché after all, but it was a ceremony for all ethnic groups. After the announcement began, children brought by various ethnic groups stood together and lined up to enlighten the spirits.
Xiao Luochuan was also among them. Looking at the three children in front of him, under the guidance of the elders, they placed their hands on the glazed stone tower. They saw a ray of white light suddenly lit up in the stone tower in front of one of the 5.6-year-old boys until the seventh floor of the tower body was barely extinguished.
The old man next to him nodded his head and touched his beard and said, "It's not bad, the seventh-level spiritual root of ordinary grade. After saying that, he saw that the two children next to him had no changes in the tower, the old man shook his head in disappointment and said, "You all go down. You can also practice martial arts and do business without spiritual roots."
A middle-aged man at the bottom of the ceremony was very excited and said to the people around him, "Did you see it? The seventh-level ordinary grade is my son, my son, God opens his eyes, my family is going to have a great future."
Everyone around congratulated each other, and the families were happy and sad. The two children without spiritual roots were taken away from the ceremony platform and were taken down by the adults of our family. Their backs were extremely lonely.
In the Continent of Forbear, strength is everything. Among the mortals, those who can have spiritual roots are selected from one in a million. Among them, the mortal spiritual roots account for about 70%, the earth-grade spiritual roots account for about 20%, and the heaven-grade spiritual roots are even rare, less than 10%. As for the legendary immortal spiritual roots, they are rare in tens of thousands of years.
Soon a little fat man and two went to the ceremony platform, and the fat man looked at Han Kun on the high platform.
Long Haotian on the high platform smiled and said, "Isn't this Han Kun's grandson?"
Han Kun bowed to Long Haotian and smiled, "It's my grandson, and his parents are geniuses with earthly spirit roots. This little grandson will not disappoint me."
Sure enough, the white light of the glass tower in front of the little fat man burst out, and rushed directly across the nine floors. The light flashed and turned yellow, slowly rushed to the fourth floor, and then broke through to the fifth floor with difficulty.
Long Haotian on the high platform bowed and returned, "It's true that he is a genius, it's rare to have many, congratulations."
Han Kun looked at Xiao Xing with a proud look on his face, with a very arrogant face. Xiao Xing looked indifferent, thinking to himself, "Isn't it just the fifth grade of the Earth Level? I have a son who is also the third grade of the Earth Spirit Root, not to mention the two daughters of the Earth Level, let alone Xiao Luoyi who amazed Bolan City."
As time went by, it was Luo Chuan's turn. The first few people only produced a seventh-level spiritual root and a fat man from the Han family. The rest of the people were actually people without spiritual roots, which put a lot of pressure on Luo Chuan.
Although my aunt said that most of the children of the Xiao family have spiritual roots, this is also the secret to the continuation of the big family. People with spiritual roots combine with each other and the chances of giving birth to children with spiritual roots are high. Naturally, the big family will also become stronger and stronger.
Luo Chuan knew that his mother, who had eighth-level spiritual roots in the earth level, could only reach the heaven level, which was a rare genius in Bolan City. Unfortunately, this was as vast as the sea of mirrors in the sky.
Just as he was thinking, Luo Chuan reached out his hand to the spirit-exploring stone like a glass tower under the guidance of the old man.
Xiao Xing was nervously waiting for the result on the platform. The ceremony that could be completed in just a few breaths was extremely slow in Xiao Xing's eyes.
The fat Han Kun, who was on the side, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Isn't this the son of the daughter of the eldest son of the Xiao family? It's a pity that he heard that his mother died long ago. I just don't know how qualified her child is." As he said that, he licked his lips and his eyes flashed with lewdness.
Xiao Xing Yixin looked at Luo Chuan after being asked, turned to look at Han Kunao and said arrogantly, "My daughter is Tianjiao, so her son will naturally not be bad either."
"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe the tiger father and the dog son are also unknown to his father..." Han Kun said with a treacherous smile.
Xiaoxing didn't hear anyone telling her daughter that she was about to get angry and Long Aotian next to her was shocked and said, "Look, it's time to start, it's a dragon or an insect to tell you what it means."
Xiao Xing turned his head and looked at him dissatisfiedly, his eyes widened. He saw the most unforgettable scene in his life.
Luo Chuan followed the old man's instructions and reached out and sensed the spiritual power in the tower with all his heart. The light of the tower was bright in an instant, and the white light flashed and rushed straight towards the top of the tower. When it reached the top of the tower, it was not finished. The white light turned yellow and fell again when it reached the top of the tower.
As the light rose, it rushed straight into the air. On the seventh floor and on the eighth floor, as the light rose, everyone was watching the ceremony, and the most excited one was Xiao Xing and Xiao Tianyi who was looking at Luo Chuan outside the ceremony. Xiao Tianyi was already filled with tears, covering her mouth and looking at Luo Chuan standing on the ceremony.
As if in order to respond to the audience's enthusiasm, Huang Guang sang all the way to the ninth floor. At this time, Xiao Xing laughed without any image on the platform.
"Hahaha, another genius from my Xiao family has emerged, the ninth level of the earth, but it is even one level higher than his mother." After saying that, he looked at Han Kun with a dark face proudly, as if he was saying, "Look at you, look at what a genius is."
The city lord Long Haotian was about to hold his fists and congratulate Xiao Xing, who was so proud that he was raising his head. He saw that the light at the top of the tower darkened, and the dazzling blue light emitted from the tower body made it difficult for everyone to look directly. Long Haotian stood up with a silence and looked at the ceremony platform, and was surprised and a little solemn.
Han Kun next to him had already stared at him with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something incredible. Xiao Xing's chin was almost falling to the ground, and he was staring blankly.
No one noticed that Liu Neng, the head of the Liu family, held a longan-sized pearl in his hand and murmured in his mouth.
"Is it true as Huaxuan said? It seems that I have to use this item."
The blue light was dazzling but could not block everyone's excited and envious eyes. "What? Is it really the Tianling Root? It seems that the rise of the Xiao family is unstoppable. I really don't know how lucky the Xiao family is. There was a 'Xiaotian Summary' Xiao Luoyi in front of it, which made the Xiao family become the overlord of Bolan City. Now, it's better, having a son actually has Tianling Root. What a fortune... "
The blue light rose very quickly, just as everyone was talking, and just as the light was about to rush to the fourth floor, Liu Neng, who had been holding the round beads tightly, shook his hand, and a transparent energy passed through the round beads without fluctuation and rushed straight to the glass tower.
The rising blue light stopped when the Qi was touched by the contact of the Qi. Xiao Luochuan was surprised to find that his sense of the Glazed Tower had disappeared, and he seemed at a loss.
The old man beside him knelt on the ground when he saw the light of the Glazed Tower converge, and was so excited that he knelt on the ground and looked up at the sky and shouted, "I am lucky to see the spiritual roots of heaven, this life is enough..."
The square suddenly started to talk, and Luochuan couldn't remember it clearly. It was just that the elders of various tribes said some compliments to him, and the city lord gave him a lot of gifts. Afterwards, he was taken back to Xiao Mansion by his aunt, and Xiao Mansion began to become very alert that night.
Chapter completed!
