Chapter 363: The Son of Destiny: Luo Wuji
Zhaocheng, Luo Palace.
Luo Ling stepped out of the palace, and just then a withered yellow leaf flew in the wind, spun a few times in the air, and then landed on his shoulder.
Luo Ling picked it up and took a look. The roots of the fallen leaves were still slightly green. In an instant, a shadow fell over Luo Ling's heart.
"The head of the family."
A slightly anxious voice came from outside the wall, and then an old man in his fifties hurried in. When he saw Luo Ling, he bowed and said anxiously, "Master, Master Zhongkan just fainted. A doctor happened to be nearby. After checking, he said that Master Zhongkan is old and weak, and he probably won't hold on for much longer."
Luo Ling's pupils trembled, and he felt a little painful in his heart. It was like this again. I didn't expect that the second brother would still walk in front of me. I watched my brothers and sisters leave one by one, and finally only one person was left. Few people could understand that kind of loneliness.
Luo Ling hurried to see Luo Zhongkan, and walked into the inner room. He saw Luo Zhongkan, whose hair had completely turned white, lying quietly on the bed with a calm face. Even though he was very weak, one could still sense a hint of heroic spirit between his brows.
There were two people serving beside the bed. One was Luo Zhongkan's wife, a typical old man and young wife. Luo Ling asked him to marry her after he came back from the Western Regions. It was many years after their marriage that they had a child.
It was the little girl next to him who was about five years old. Her eyebrows and eyes were as dark as dark green mountains. She had a graceful temperament and was extremely beautiful. Even among the Luo clan, she was considered to have the top appearance. She was the apple of Luo Zhongkan's eye.
“Brother!”
"Uncle!"
Seeing Luo Ling coming in, the two of them hurriedly saluted. The little girl ran straight to Luo Ling and cried, "Uncle, father..."
Luo Ling gently stroked the little girl's head. This god of the human world was actually a gentle and kind person in the Luo clan. Just like Luo Yi and others served him as a father, everyone loved him deeply. Luo Ling comforted her in a gentle voice, "Uncle is here, don't worry."
Luo Zhongkan looked at this scene with a smile on his face. This was the most precious thing about the Luo clan, and this was why brave warriors were willing to sacrifice everything for the family at any time.
Because no member of the tribe needs to worry about being alone. The family is everyone's strong backing, and it's not just talk.
Even if you don't have a son, your family line will not be cut off. Your daughter will be given a generous dowry by the family. As for the matter of leaving your family with nothing, there will never be such a thing.
The King of Su is above, and the holy marks are my witness!
"Brother, I'm going to die."
Luo Zhongkan said this quite lightly, just like he was talking to Luo Ling about what to eat for lunch today. He said with some nostalgia: "Ayi and Axin were young, but they were the first to leave. Even Acai, that girl, has been gone for many years in the blink of an eye. I didn't expect that the two of us are still alive and well.
Especially, I didn't expect that I would have such a little girl by my side in my old age, but you will have to take care of them from now on."
Luo Ling was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Akan, among our five brothers, Ayi, Axin, and Achen all showed their talents and were granted titles of nobility. Axin even became the regent of the country, completing the feat that the two Dukes Wenxuan had never accomplished since the Su King. Among all of them, only you have never become famous in the world and have not fully displayed your talents. Do you have any regrets?"
Luo Zhongkan smiled and said, "Fame and fortune in this world are like passing clouds. Ah Ye was a marquis of ten thousand households, which was quite glorious. However, after his death, his direct descendants moved back to Zhaocheng and no longer cared about worldly affairs.
Is such fame, wealth and power worth pursuing?
Besides, there are so many young men in the family who do not choose to serve as officials, so Kan is not an exception.
Kan originally wanted to spend the rest of his life in Luo Village. He was only willing to protect his family and was not willing to make achievements.
Moreover, in this life, when he reaches middle age, he can receive the order from King Su and travel westward to see that magnificent world.
Even many powerful people have never seen such magnificent and exotic scenery. This is already luckier than most people in the world.
The only regret is that he was not able to lead the army to the Western Regions and bring that beautiful land completely under the rule of the Xia Dynasty. It would have been great if he had a son to take his place and open up the Western Regions.
In the future, if the eldest brother's descendants go to the Western Regions, they must offer sacrifices to Kan's shrine, and Kan will also be happy in front of King Su.
If the day comes when our family completely dominates the Western Regions, I hope to erect a statue of Kan in the Yishui River Valley. I have no other requests."
"vomit!"
Luo Ling was about to speak when Luo Zhongkan's wife suddenly made a retching sound, which attracted Luo Ling's attention. She looked fine, so why did she suddenly retch?
His eyes swept over the little girl next to him, and Luo Ling's heart moved. He stretched out his right index finger and pressed it on the glittering holy mark between his eyebrows. A small amount of luck points suddenly disappeared, and an invisible ripple spread out from Luo Ling, sweeping over the three people present.
As he expected, three holy marks appeared.
Although Luo Ling didn't know how a person was formed in the mother's womb, he knew that as soon as Luo's child appeared in the mother's womb, he would be able to feel the fluctuation of the holy mark.
Luo Ling suddenly put down his hands, opened his eyes, and stared at the belly of Luo Zhongkan's wife. His eyes were full of surprise, joy, and even some disbelief.
Luo Zhongkan had a holy scar on him, and he just felt something, so he asked in confusion: "Brother, did you do something just now?"
Luo Ling said with a hint of joy in his voice: "Akan, your wife is pregnant with Luo's child, it's your child."
Luo Zhongkan heard this and said in disbelief: "Brother, you are kidding, right? Although I am in good health, at my age, it is rare to have Xiu'er. How can I have another one?"
Luo Zhongkan knew that Luo Ling would not joke about such things, and that there would definitely be no mistakes made by Luo's offspring. He just found it a little hard to believe.
Luo Ling smiled and said, "This child has holy marks, there is no doubt about it!"
The Holy Mark is not only the bloodline of the Luo family, but even the genealogy can be figured out, because the birth of the Holy Mark is very strict, and it can only be born to the legitimate wife, and it is absolutely impossible to be confused.
This sudden news shocked Luo Zhongkan and his wife, and then they were both delighted. Luo Zhongkan laughed out loud and said, "This is really the blessing of the Su Wang. Is this the offspring that the Su Wang Patriarch specially sent down after hearing Kan's last wish?"
He laughed and coughed twice, then gently stroked his wife's abdomen and sighed, "It's a pity that I can't see him being born. If it's a boy, I'll call him Wu Ji, Luo Wu Ji. This is my wish as a father for him. I hope he will be free of illness throughout his life."
"My dear, I will definitely raise him well, let him learn martial arts diligently, and conquer the Western Regions in the future to fulfill your last wish."
Amidst the sobbing, Luo Zhongkan gradually stopped breathing. Luo Ling picked up the little girl and comforted her softly. Although he was old, he was still strong and it was easy for him to hold a child of a few years old.
Looking at the deceased Luo Zhongkan, Luo Ling sighed slightly. Since the fall of Luo State, he fled with his brothers and sisters. That day, he shouldered the responsibility and mission of training a new generation of Luo people. Then, generation after generation, his brothers and sisters passed away, leaving behind a group of new children, who were still his to take care of and train.
Luo Jing, who was working in Chang'an, heard that his second uncle had passed away, so he immediately took leave and rushed back to Zhaocheng.
"Uncle, did Second Uncle have any unfulfilled wishes before he died?"
Luo Ling then told Luo Zhongkan's last wish, and Luo Jing immediately said: "The Han court will always expand outward, whether it is the current emperor or the future emperor, outward war is inevitable.
When Second Uncle's child is born, if it is a boy, train him well, and when he is a teenager, bring him to Chang'an and let your nephew take care of him."
Luo Ling nodded slightly. Luo Jing's stay in the Han court would still be of great use to the Luo family.
The following year, Luo Zhongkan's posthumous son was born in Zhaocheng. According to Luo Zhongkan's will, he was named Luo Wuji.
When the child was born, the entire void heaven was praising him, and countless lights appeared in every corner of the peach blossom forest.
Then a long string of messages came out of the system.
[Dear master, a new child of destiny has been born in your family. It has been hundreds of years since such an outstanding child with great fortune was born. This is the praise of heaven and earth for your family. He is destined to be a great figure shining in the long river of history. Wait, wait for the day when he grows up. He will be one of the brightest pearls in your family history.]
Ji Zhao was even shocked by the birth of this child. The Luo family has produced countless outstanding talents, some of whom even have attributes comparable to Luo Su.
However, there are only two sons of destiny, and together with the daughters of destiny, there are only three people in total. You can imagine how precious this identity is.
However, Ji Zhao still hasn't figured out the working principles of the Child of Destiny, and his understanding of the world has not yet reached that level.
Ji Zhao opened Luo Wuji's potential attributes, ready to see what he was best at. At a glance, most of the attributes were mediocre, belonging to the normal level of the Luo family, especially his ability to govern the country was average. It can be said that there was basically no possibility for him to be a capable minister.
His command, military strategy, and force were top-notch, but not full value, which made Ji Zhao a little confused. Could it be that he was another son of destiny like Lord Luo Ming?
Ji Zhao clicked on the drop-down list of Luo Wuji's command, military strategy, and force, and suddenly paused. He knew why Luo Wuji's command, military strategy, and force were not full.
Because he is good at one subject but not the other, in the drop-down list, Luo Wuji has many items that are full values.
However, there are also many items that are relatively poor. However, these relatively poor values are floating, which means they can be changed, and Rockwell is best at changing this.
"Luo Wuji."
Ji Zhao whispered the name softly and suddenly chuckled. How interesting.
