She is a cry...
Chapter 89 Ancient Heritage
While Heshia was in the hotel recalling the images she had seen yesterday, Feng Jianxue on the other side was talking to someone in the Feiyu Star Region with the help of an expensive long-distance communication device.
"Little White Goose, I met a very beautiful girl yesterday. You know, that feeling was like a black crystal that had never been discovered by humans, quiet and clear..." Feng Jianxue kept talking, but because of the transmission delay between star regions, it would take several minutes for the other party to see it.
Sure enough, not long after, the communication device projected the figure on the other side.
"So noisy, who else allowed you to give me a nickname? You always deliberately annoy me, right?" On the other side of the projection, a girl with the same silver-white hair answered unhappily, as if she had been fed up with Feng Jianxue's way of speaking for a long time, but couldn't get rid of it.
"Did you go out to harass others again? I told you a long time ago that you are not allowed to mention my name outside. It's really embarrassing. You are so careless all day long..." As the beautiful girl opposite her crossed her arms and began to lecture, she kept complaining.
"Yeah, yeah, my sister is still so cute. Even when she lectures people, she is so charming~" Unfortunately, Feng Jianxue didn't listen at all, which made the girl opposite very angry.
"Ah, ah, I will be mad at you sooner or later. Okay, let's not talk about this. Who did you meet yesterday?" She rubbed her hair hard, and her originally cute and beautiful image suddenly became a little sloppy, but also much more friendly.
"Oh, yes, yes, I met a lovely girl named Heshia. Hmm, she is really lovely. She should be the daughter of Gu Yongrong, the direct descendant of the Qingluan branch."
"Wait, who is Gu Yongrong? Oh, I remember. I saw the video in the Sword Palace before. But rumor has it that she died more than 20 years ago. This also led to the internal division of Jielou City, and later the 'divine generals' dominated the market." "
I thought so at first. This time I came to Jielou City just to make sure whether the sword is still there and find a way to steal it. Anyway, the 'divine generals' didn't get the secret skills left behind."
"Don't talk about the 'divine generals'. According to the later investigation of the Sword Palace, it is possible that Gu Yongrong herself did not get the inheritance and only learned the basics. The branch of Jielou City lost the inheritance hundreds of years ago. Otherwise, the sword protectors would not have declined to the point where they have no name."
"During the fifth era, due to the war, the descendants of the major families took the classics and secrets to various corners of the star sea to avoid disaster. Many of them disappeared without a trace, and now there are very few who can be contacted."
"In the past, some organizations were interested in these classics and secrets, but as time goes by, it seems that many things are gradually outdated, so no one cares about them anymore." The girl with white hair on the opposite side shook her head and sighed. Although she herself came from such a family of inheritance, it is difficult for her to be proud of it now. It is more of a commemorative significance.
"Under the battleship cannon, all beings are equal, hey~" She made a helpless gesture.
"No, Xiaoyuan." Feng Jianxue's expression became serious at this time.
"Although the influence of an individual is reduced under the giant ship's shaft cannon, there is always an individual behind the support of such an industrial system. If we can re-explore the secrets of the past and find a way to increase the success rate of promotion, we can greatly improve the national strength of a country. Whether it is scientific research, life, or production, it will usher in huge innovations. This is a powerful force. We can't just give up." He shook his head.
"Well, okay, brother, since you said so, I can't refute it." Then the girl lay on the table and looked at Feng Jianxue in the projection.
"But you are so frivolous at ordinary times, you don't look like the kind of person who cares about the country and the people."
"That's just my appearance that confuses others, and my sincere heart will only be shared with a few people." Feng Jianxue said and shook the folding fan in his hand again, looking like everyone is drunk but I am sober.
"Okay, I've gone off topic again. Where were we just talking about? Yes, it's Gu Yongrong's daughter. Her mother really didn't tell her anything about the past. At first I wanted to test it." Feng Jianxue rubbed his chin.
"We are more than a hundred meters apart on the street, but I can see at a glance that this girl is extraordinary, and as I expected, she is the descendant of an old friend."
"You are just attracted by her beauty, tsk." The silver-haired girl on the other side of the projection showed disdain.
"But you can't deny that my vision is like a radar, never missing those girls with outstanding talents, which is exactly what an excellent star seeker must have."
"Wait for these few days for me to get a good impression from Heshia, and then pull her into our group. Since your code name is 'White Swan', let's call her 'Black Swan'..."
"Stop, stop, stop, you have considered things so far ahead. Aren't you still looking for the 'sword' of the Qingluan branch now?"
"Besides, the girl hasn't agreed yet. What if she thinks you are unreliable and refuses? To be honest, if you are not my brother, I would have blocked you long ago." The girl opposite complained and despised.
"Hehe, isn't it going on? But this Jielou City is really too conservative. It is really difficult for outsiders to get in." Feng Jianxue shook her head and suddenly had an idea.
"Maybe, it can be like this..."
————
At noon, after lunch, Heshia came to the place where she and Feng Jianxue agreed yesterday. As for why it was after lunch, it was naturally because she didn't want to have lunch with someone.
Under the huge stone lions that were three or four people tall, Feng Jianxue, dressed in moon-white clothes, was still so conspicuous. He waved to Heshia to say hello.
"Good afternoon, Miss Heshia." He strode over.
"Hello, Mr. Feng Jianxue." The girl took a half step back.
"Ahem, Miss Heshia, you don't have to be so cautious. Have you read the memory card from yesterday?"
"I have read it. It seems that I know a lot of things, but I am also more confused." The girl nodded and shook her head.
"That's easy. As long as we continue to investigate, we will definitely get to the bottom of it."
"By the way, today the 'divine generals' have finished their circumambulation of the city, and tomorrow they will perform sword dance in front of the Red Tower. Is Heshia interested in going with me to see it?"
"Is there also sword dance this year?" Heshia thought about it and nodded. She wanted to go and see it.
"Then it's an appointment, hehe." Feng Jianxue shook her folding fan.
"I wonder if Heshia has learned about some legends in the East before."
"I only know the legend of the Five Virtues Phoenix, and I don't know much about other things."
"It's enough to know the Five Virtues Phoenix. In ancient times, the Five Phoenixes opened up the wisdom of the people and the prosperous times, and since then, there has been a constant incense. Now this Jielou City has also inherited one of its heritage." He continued to explain.
"Just like there are many giant companies that are well-known in the Star Sea today, the practitioners in the East also had their own organizations and factions at that time, and the most powerful among them were the Thirty-Six Sects and the Seventy-Two Sects."
"After entering the Star Sea era, these sects gradually entered the Galaxy Universe to explore, established mountain gates and organizations in various star regions, and once influenced one side."
"However, in the wars and disasters of the Fifth Era, many factions were destroyed. Some factions escaped with classics and inheritances, and the current Rose Federation has absorbed a lot of them."
"You said these..." The girl had some vague guesses.
"Yes, Heshia, your mother was a direct descendant of one of these lines, and she was also the one who inherited the past will."
"No, my mother did not inherit those things." Heshia knew that although her mother could practice the extraordinary sequence, her methods were not special, and she would not hide anything from her.
"Ahem, maybe the inheritance is cut off. After all, there is nothing that can be done about it for hundreds or thousands of years."
"In fact, according to my investigation, your mother may have had some conflicts with your uncle. Your mother inherited the lineage of the 'Sword Guardian', while your uncle inherited the lineage of the 'God General'."
"Originally, in the past, this was a configuration of one master and one deputy, with the sword as the main and the God General as the auxiliary, but later the lineage of the 'Sword Guardian' was cut off, and it gradually declined, and now the 'God General' lineage is the only one that dominates."
"In other words, my uncle is still alive?" The girl asked curiously.
"Yes, he is alive, and now he may be the ruler behind the scenes of Jielou City, but he...may not be easy to get along with. I don't know the specific events of the year, but your mother must have fought with your uncle, and then left Jielou City." He said with a little certainty.
"If you really want to know about the past, you can indeed ask him, but what happened afterwards is not so easy." Feng Jianxue shook her head.
"Will he kill me?" Heshia was puzzled.
"I don't think he will kill you. Although he has a big conflict with his sister, he won't kill you. After all, you are his relative. But you may have to stay in Jielou City in the future and can't leave."
"In order to appease the old people in Jielou City and keep certain things, he will let you inherit your mother's position. I guess he will assign you a marriage in a few years." Feng Jianxue shook his head, indicating that this is not good.
"Uh, so." When she first heard that she still had relatives alive, Heshia was a little happy, but now her mood is low.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go and see the sword dance tomorrow. I don't know how they arranged it this year, but anyway, since your mother left, the sword dance in Jielou City has been getting worse every year."
In the afternoon, after talking for a long time, the two parted again. Heshia went to the library in Jielou City or the place where old books and old film and television memory cards were sold to find more information about the past, while Feng Jianxue began some of his plans and actions.
