Chapter 839 Luo Su's Birth
However, the general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division. All the prefectures and counties in the world are armed with swords, and the soldiers and generals are in different groups. It is unclear whether they are soldiers or bandits. The Northern and Southern Dynasties have been established for some years. The Southern Dynasty has become decadent and extravagant, and the princes have started to kill each other. One after another, the Jianye court has been in chaos.
After the death of Murong Chui of the Northern Dynasty, the new emperor was assassinated because of the struggle for the throne among the princes. The heroes in Guanzhong and the noble families in Guandong started fighting each other until the sky was dark and the ethics of heaven, earth and human beings were thrown aside.
The high-ranking officials in the world were trembling with fear and shook when they went to court. The struggle among the top leaders did not affect the common people. The civilian population recovered very quickly, and the population of 9 million households almost reached the peak of the prosperous era of Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty. People of insight speculated that the Chinese nation would usher in a new era of prosperity.
In the void heaven, time is countless. The peach blossom forest blooms vigorously under the sun that comes from nowhere. Each petal of the tens of millions of peach blossoms is the accumulation of Luo family's luck for countless years, and carries a deep flavor.
The pink flowers swayed gently in the breeze, emitting a faint fragrance. Ji Lingjun walked among them. The petals fluttered like butterflies, dancing in the air, as if performing the graceful dance of ancient Bang Zhou.
The divine light shines through the tops of the peach trees, and mottled light and shadows fall under the trees. The majestic Valhalla is located in the middle of it, with high-flying eaves and black and white glazed tiles. It looks like a building that is both stone, jade and wood, and the divine light shines through it.
The hall was extremely magnificent and sacred. The stone on Luo Su's body had almost completely faded away, leaving only some attached to the soles of his feet. The divine light emanating from his body filled the entire hall.
Ji Lingjun is now the Goddess of Luo River, but she couldn't restrain her amazement when she saw this scene. She was once awakened because she accepted the destiny of the Phoenix of Bang Zhou, but at that time there was no such scene as her ancestors.
Luo Su gave her the answer, "My ancestors said that I am the first heroic spirit in the world, including the entire Luo family. The Hall of Heroes exists because of me, so I am special here."
He is indeed special, a natural holy spirit created by a one-time earth-level artifact. What this represents is terrifying when you think about it carefully.
Ji Lingjun walked into the hall dragging a red and black long skirt. Her waist was extremely slender, and her long, soft, jet-black hair was draped down. Her eyes were as bright as glass, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink. Her temperament was as pure as a girl, but as pure as snowflakes weighing heavily on the branches of plum blossoms.
She slowly bowed, with a barely perceptible excitement on her cold face. She looked at the stone on Luo Su's feet, and said like the sound of a mountain spring: "Ancestor, you are finally coming."
The duration of this advent was really too long, it was actually calculated in units of hundreds of years. Ji Lingjun felt a little tired after such a long time.
Luo Su seemed to be unaware of his situation. He didn't even look at his feet, still standing there, reading the book in his hand.
As the stone fell off, his clothes became extremely rustic. It was a long robe that even covered his feet. The collar, cuffs and hem were embroidered with cloud patterns, dragon patterns or phoenix patterns.
These patterns are rather simple, with the dragon pattern looking like snake patterns. The biggest difference is the phoenix pattern, which is much more exquisite than the pattern on Ji Lingjun's phoenix robe. There is a world of difference between the two.
These patterns symbolized auspiciousness and nobility in the distant Bang Zhou era. A wide belt around the waist not only adjusted the tightness of the waist, but also served as decoration. The jade pendant owned by almost every member of the Luo family naturally fell around the waist. Only the oldest Bang Zhou nobles would wear his attire.
For Luo Su, whether he is unblocked or not is determined by heaven. Whether his mood fluctuates or not does not affect the result, so he does not care.
Ji Lingjun came here today, of course, for something. She asked directly: "Ancestor, how are you going to descend to the human world? Do you need a human body to carry you?"
Luo Su was born into the human world and needed a body of flesh and blood. Ji Lingjun asked him if he wanted to be reincarnated as a descendant of some of his descendants, which would be the way to reincarnate with the lowest cost.
Hearing this question, Luo Su put away the book in his hand, his eyes seemed to penetrate into infinity, and he shook his head and said, "No need, let a child who truly belongs to them be born.
I am their ancestor, not the demon from outside the realm.
Please use Yuan Ding to receive my arrival. I will pluck a feather from the Phoenix Destiny. It represents rebirth and will grant me new life and the Holy Mark of Phoenix Feather.
Tell the descendants of Luo that I will be born in Winterfell, and I should be three years old at that time."
Ji Lingjun asked again: "Ancestor, what will you do after you are born? Will you assist the emperor? The wars in the world have lasted long enough, and people's hearts are longing for peace. It is probably time for a hero to be born and pacify the world."
Luo Su shook his head and said: "If it were me back then, I would probably go and assist the emperor, and eventually accomplish great deeds and bring the Chinese people into a new era of prosperity, just like the prosperous eras that have appeared before, just like what I did in my first life.
But now I am different.
After I am born, I will stay in Winter City for a few years, and then start traveling around the world, the real world. I will start from the grassland, travel around the various parts of China, then go out of Jiayuguan, visit the Western Regions, and then head all the way west.
I want to find the ultimate truth in the world and open a new path for all people.
"A stone from another mountain can polish a jade. Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, I have read all the books in China. There is nothing worth reading anymore. Next, I should travel thousands of miles."
These words made Ji Lingjun a little confused. She could only hear a distant and vast sound from them, but did not understand what Luo Su wanted to do. She only felt that this legendary number one genius of the Luo family was stronger than she had imagined.
Of course, Luo Su is now a true hexagonal warrior in governing the country. His only weakness is the three martial arts items, but even in the three martial arts items, he has 80 points. Such a balanced value is very good.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but Ji Lingjun came more and more frequently. The day when Luo Su was unsealed can be counted in years. Compared with the previous hundred years, it can be said to be just around the corner.
On this day, Ji Lingjun brought Luo Su an extremely shocking news - "Ancestor, the world is unified, and the new emperor of Zhuxia has been crowned. He uses the word Sui as his country's name, and the reign is Kaihuang. A new dynasty is born on earth, a dynasty that the Luo family has never participated in."
Luo Su raised his head, looked at the little bit of stone left, and smiled, "Tell me about this new dynasty, the war that ultimately led to its victory, the glory of its establishment, its difficult process, the glorious history of the founding emperor, or how the efforts of generations like the Qin Dynasty defeated those powerful enemies. I like to hear these things that will shine brightly in history.
This thing under my feet will probably take years to unravel.”
Ji Lingjun pondered and said, "When the Sui Dynasty was established, it had already occupied 80% of the land in the world. Guandong, Guanzhong, Liangzhou, and Shuzhong were all under the control of the Sui Dynasty. The Chen Dynasty, which was opposed to the Sui Dynasty, retreated to the south of the Yangtze River. The government was in chaos and had no power to resist. The Sui Dynasty launched a war to destroy the Chen Kingdom. It took only one or two years to destroy the Chen Kingdom and complete the unification of the Central Plains."
Luo Su was very smart. He understood a lot from just this paragraph. He stopped asking questions and just said, "This is probably luck. Some people are born to be emperors, while others spend their whole lives making wedding clothes for others. I hope this will be a prosperous dynasty."
One day, I will probably go to Gao...Chang'an to see him."
Luo Su was very calm, but Ji Lingjun, who already had some understanding of Luo Su, was able to hear the hidden meaning behind Luo Su's words.
…
The world was unified under the Sui Dynasty. Regardless of whether Yang Jian's throne came legitimately or whether he was too cruel to the royal family of the previous dynasty, he was indeed capable. The world finally welcomed a new master, a monarch who could at least be called wise for now.
The distant Winter City vaguely received news from the Central Plains, knowing that the Central Plains finally had a new emperor. The spread of this news was full of coincidences, because Luo's Winter City was really too remote.
Winter City is completely far away from the traditional Han land.
The traditional core of the Han area is Liaodong City, which is 1,200 miles away from Winter City in a straight line. There are no roads within 1,200 miles, and even cars cannot go through. It can be said to be isolated from the world, not to mention that there are many scattered Hu tribes between Liaodong City and Winter City. There is also a big country occupying a vast territory in Liaodong, which further blocks the people from coming and going.
These have nothing to do with Luo Shi. Luo Shi has lived in Winter City for more than a hundred years and has completely adapted to the environment here and the current peaceful life.
Within hundreds of miles around Winter City, Winter City is the only superpower, and there are no Hu tribes around showing off their power.
Just like the tribute system of the Zhou Dynasty.
Winter City is located here. The surrounding Hu tribes come here to pay tribute and conduct trade. The Luo family is superior to all the Hu people in all aspects such as technology, medical care, education, agriculture, and handicrafts.
The only country that invaded Winterfell was Liaodong, but in the end they took the initiative to cut off the access, and the outcome of the war was clear.
The majesty of Winter City is unmatched in the entire world, for it is a city connected to the mountains.
They usually live at the foot of the mountain, and once there is a war, they can move to the mountain. The mountain has its own water supply system and farmland. There are not many people in the Luo family, only a few tens of thousands. As long as the mountain city is not broken, the Luo family can continue to survive.
Back then, the Liaodong Kingdom suffered a defeat at the feet of Winter City. They besieged the city for three years, with countless casualties, but to no avail. In the end, they left behind tens of thousands of corpses and were attacked on the way. They never moved north again.
Not only did the Liaodong Kingdom learn this lesson, they also began to build mountain cities on a large scale as soon as they returned. Liaodong was originally mountainous, and with hundreds of mountain cities being built, the Luo family, upon hearing the news, gritted their teeth, knowing that it would be difficult to capture Liaodong.
…
Outside the Winter City, the wheat fields are rolling. The climate has gradually improved in recent years, and even the grain production is more than in previous years. Otherwise, it would not be able to support the millions of people in Liaodong Kingdom.
The men of the Luo family sang heroic songs as they went in and out of Winter City.
In the ancestral temple of Winter City, an internal meeting with a rather tense atmosphere was taking place. All the participants were direct descendants of the Luo family. They took off their usual tight clothes, put on the most formal court robes, and sat in dignity.
The head of the family suppressed his excitement and said directly: "After the family moved to Winter City, since the war to destroy the Hu, there has been no such major event for many years.
I have called all of you here today because I have an important announcement to make.
Last night, Her Majesty the Goddess of Luo River came into my dream and told me that our ancestor Duke Wen will return to the world and asked us to prepare to welcome him."
He spoke of this in a calm tone, but the listeners were dumbfounded. They thought they had heard it wrong. What ancestor Wen Gong?
No one could have imagined that fifteen
The ancestor from more than a hundred years ago.
And what does it mean to return to the world again?
What does it mean that Her Majesty the Goddess of Luo River entered into a dream?
Luo Chengxian's words gave them countless questions that they wanted to ask, and they were the kind that were completely overwhelming.
Luo Chengxian himself knew that this matter was too unbelievable. If he had not been born in the Luo family, no one would believe it except those who were obsessed with belief in God.
He said in a serious tone, "I know you have countless questions in your mind. When I first found out, I was also very shocked. Just ask them one by one. After all of them are resolved today, don't have any more questions in the future, and don't do anything disrespectful."
"Uncle, has Her Majesty the Goddess Luo appeared again?"
This was the first question. Luo Chengxian had infinite light in his eyes and said with longing: "Yes, although we still cannot feel the divine glory of the Su King, the divine glory of His Majesty the Goddess Luo has shone down again. Our waiting is not wrong. We must persevere."
Luo Shen’s appearance made people feel extremely at ease, and then came the second question.
"What do you mean by ancestor Wen Gong?"
The person asking the question spoke nervously, and even his breathing could be heard clearly in the quiet room. Almost everyone was extremely nervous, because when these words "Ancestor Wen Gong" were spoken, they represented that person, the one who was least likely to appear.
The second generation regent of the Luo family!
The Great Chief of the Zhou Dynasty!
Luo's destined son!
The first person to be buried with King Su!
Lord Luo Wen!
Luo Chengxian gave a positive answer, "Yes, it is the one you imagined, the oldest regent ancestor of our Luo family, the Grand Master of the Zhou Dynasty, Luo Wengong. The Goddess of Luo said that our ancestor Wengong will be reborn in our Luo family. This is the beginning of the story."
"How is that possible!"
Everyone couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out what was on their mind. They barely managed to control the second half of the sentence, but this sentence rang in almost everyone's mind, "It's been 1,500 years. Even his bones must have turned to ash. How could he still be alive?"
Luo Chengxian was relieved to see that everyone's expressions were exactly the same as his own when he just heard the news, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Luoshen can't be wrong, and we are the Luo family, so any miraculous things are possible, isn't it?
The birth of our ancestor Duke Wen is so important to our Luo family. Do I need to say it?
It is absolutely impossible for our ancestor to stay in Winter City when he comes to this world. This may very well be the beginning of our Luo family's return to the Central Plains!
From now on, select all the people around the ancestor after he comes to the world, and only the best people will be able to get this opportunity.
Then let us wait quietly.”
…
The winters in Winter City are always extremely long. Even though the climate has gradually warmed up in recent years, it is still an extremely cold place and snowflakes still fall from time to time.
Looking out from the mountain city, the sky and the earth are covered in white, with almost no living creatures to be seen, only endless deathly silence. This is the cold region of the north!
Only those with the best luck and the strongest physique can survive here.
The snow in the Luo Family Ancestral Temple began to be cleared right after it stopped falling. Only some white snow was still hanging on the dry branches, and some of it would fall from time to time, getting into people's necks and bringing a bone-chilling cold.
On this cold morning, the ancestral temple was already full of people, dozens of men and women, some with stigmata and some without. Some of them were extremely beautiful. Most of them were holding children, and there were even babies in swaddling clothes.
Even though the cold winter wind hurt the children's faces, no one left. They just stood in the cold wind, looking at the tripod in the ancestral temple.
A large tripod with an ancient atmosphere and a sense of infinite vastness appeared in the ancestral temple. There were countless exquisite patterns on the tripod, and the ultimate principles of heaven and earth were engraved on it. It seemed to be the source of the world.
This is Luo's magic weapon, Yuan Ding!
After Ji Zhao took away the Heaven Grade Artifact and combined it with the Dao, it became the most supreme artifact. As long as there were enough Luck Points, it would have infinite uses.
In the void heaven.
The last bit of stone on Luo Su's right foot slowly fell off, and the entire Valhalla was shaking, emitting an extremely bright light in the heavens, like the sun.
There are rolling mountains in the heaven, and countless peach trees are planted on the mountains, which all collectively burst out with sacred light at this moment.
Ji Lingjun congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to our ancestor for returning to the world."
Luo Su had a smile on his face. He slowly stood up and stretched his muscles. The power of the artifact filled his whole body. White light burst out from his body. Luo Su did not move, but seemed to be floating in the ocean of light.
“So that’s how it feels.”
When Luo Su opened his mouth, it didn't sound like one person was speaking, but rather like countless people chanting.
"I'm afraid our descendants on earth can't wait any longer."
Luo Su sighed and said, "Yes, don't let them get sick from the cold. These children are a little too reserved. I'm leaving Lingjun. We'll see each other after I die."
Ji Lingjun smiled and said, "I look forward to seeing you on earth and returning to heaven."
A holy mark slowly appeared between Luo Su's eyebrows, like a phoenix feather, extremely gorgeous and noble. He exuded noble aura, as if he was a natural king.
Then he turned into light.
There was no envy in Ji Lingjun's eyes, she was not interested in the human world. If one day, the ancestors needed her to come to the mortal world, then she could come there once.
The moment Luo Su turned into light in heaven, the Yuan Ding in the ancestral temple emitted infinite light. It was a platinum-colored light that turned into a beam of light that shot out from the mouth of the Ding and penetrated the top of the ancestral temple. Almost all the deities were shaking, except for Ji Zhao's deity at the very top.
This sudden change excited everyone in the courtyard. They stared at Yuan Ding without blinking, afraid of missing anything.
The beam of light appeared to be in a semi-illusory and semi-real state, with spots of light floating in it, just like the light shining into the room, and the dust particles were clearly visible under the light.
Those spots of light gathered together, and then in front of everyone, a person appeared, or rather a child, a three-year-old child.
Against the backdrop of the light column, the child looked extremely handsome, his skin was white and delicate like glass, but the glow flowing on his skin gave people a feeling of power. It was very strange for a three-year-old to have such a powerful feeling, but this was the fact. This child could only be described as perfect.
What surprised everyone the most was the holy mark on the forehead, which was very different from the holy marks of other members of the Luo family and had a unique beauty.
Is this our ancestor Duke Wen?
Regardless of whether it is true or not, just the way it was born makes everyone want to kneel down and kowtow.
“Heaven is my father, earth is my mother, and light has shaped my body.”
Although Luo Su is only a three-year-old child, as cute as a porcelain doll, his expression is very calm. The first thing he said was, "It's too cold. I'll warm you up."
The white light that enveloped him swept across in an instant, and the slightly frozen people of the Luo family suddenly felt as comfortable as if they had taken a hot bath in the house.
Luo Su stood on the ground, came to the front and stood in front of Luo Chengxian, and asked: "Are you the current head of the Luo family?"
Luo Chengxian knelt directly on the ground. All the stunned Luo family members knelt down in an instant. Luo Chengxian was about to speak, but found that he didn't know how to address this person at all. After all, this person died too long ago.
The so-called eighteen generations of ancestors and the seven temples of the emperor. Even the emperor does not worship so many ancestors. The great ancestor is only the seventh generation ancestor, and even the oldest ancestor is only the ninth generation. However, he is the sixty-second head of the Luo family, more than fifty generations younger than this old ancestor.
How about just calling him ancestor?
Luo Chengxian quickly flashed through these thoughts and said, "Grandfather, Sun Zheng is the current head of the family and the 62nd generation of our Luo family."
Although it was just a child in front of them, his noble air made them feel like subjects seeing the emperor and they had to bow their heads. The main reason was that the gap in status was too big and no one had the confidence to do so.
“So many years have passed.”
Luo Su sighed, "Everything I was familiar with has disappeared. My birth this time was decided by our ancestor, King Su, and it was decided more than a thousand years ago.
Although I still don’t know why my ancestor let me wake up at this time, there must be a deep meaning behind it.
I haven't fully grown yet, so I'll live here first. Please send someone to tell me what has happened in recent years.
Xiao Lingjun told me some things and gave me some books, but it was not enough.
The news of my coming can be told to the people of Winter City, or it can be spread out. It doesn’t matter. It can be known to everyone. Those who believe will naturally believe it.”
Little Lingjun?
Everyone bowed their heads even deeper. As expected of one of the oldest ancestors of the Luo family, he actually called His Majesty the Goddess Luo like that. One was an ancestor who lived fifteen hundred years ago, and the other was an ancestor who lived a thousand years ago. They were too far away from their descendants.
While Luo Su was speaking, Yuan Ding had disappeared from the spot, having completed his mission this time. Luo Su's eyes looked at the patriarch's inheritance ring that Luo Chengxian was wearing on his hand.
He walked over and took off the ring. Luo Chengxian naturally did not resist. Luo Su looked at it carefully and laughed softly, "It is indeed it. This artifact, the ancestor said, was obtained because I was the regent of the country.
I didn't expect it to become the family's inheritance ring. I am the first person in the family to see the ancestor. I believe that thousands of years later, you will still remember me."
Luo Chengxian said quickly: "Grandpa, which descendant of the family will forget your great achievements? Look, this is our Luo family's ancestral temple. Your position is almost the highest after that of the Su Wang ancestor."
Luo Su turned and looked at the countless deities above the ancestral temple. Those deities were constantly changing, but Ji Zhao at the top was unchanging, just like the majestic and eternal sun.
Below Ji Zhao is Luo Su, who even surpasses his father and grandfather and others. This is Luo Su's status in the Luo family.
Luo Su was still very young, but he took every step very steadily. He walked into the hall, knelt down and kowtowed to Ji Zhao's tablet at the top, saying: "Grandfather, in accordance with your will, I have been born into the Luo family of the future.
I once heard Lingjun say that you disappeared temporarily and could not provide direction for the family to move forward.
I will think carefully about what to do in the next few years, and I will never let you down by letting me go to the lower world."
After saying that, he kowtowed a few times, stood up, came in front of the crowd, and touched the children. He was also a child, but there was no sense of incongruity in his action.
Luo Su turned to look at Luo Chengxian and said, "They are all good children. They will be the pillars of our Luo family in the future. I need time to grow up in these years, so let these children study with me."
Luo Chengxian naturally followed whatever Luo Su said. Although he was the head of the family, the head of the family was nothing in front of Luo Chengxian. "Grandfather, do you want the position of the head of the family?"
Luo Su waved his hand and said, "No need, I have done it more than a thousand years ago, you should just stay as the head of your family, there is no reason in this world for elders to seize the position of younger generations.
Even though I am not the head of the family, I can use all the abilities that the head of the family possesses, and I am much stronger than you."
In the Luo family, there are two different positions, one is the head of the family, and the other is the high priest. The difference is not just in name, but also represents some abilities that exceed others.
The high priest didn't mention it, but the head of the family could mobilize divine weapons and sense luck points, and in Ji Zhao's system that appeared out of nowhere, the head of the family's name was written on it.
However, the birth of Luo Su was naturally quite different. He was a member of the Luo family with higher authority than Luo Chengxian. As long as he wanted, he could even directly seal off the authority of Luo Chengxian, the head of the family. Therefore, the position of head of the family was really unnecessary for him.
After saying this, without waiting for Luo Chengxian to respond, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go. The weather is cold. Let the children go back. Don't get sick because of this. It's hard to cure the disease.
Please tell me about what is happening now. I need to know more details. "
Ji Lingjun naturally told Luo Su a lot of things, such as the general outline of these years, but there were some things that Ji Lingjun could not tell and did not know. Ji Lingjun knew many things that the Luo family did not know, but there were also many things that she did not know.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Luo Su thought to himself that if he wanted to travel thousands of miles in the future, the first thing he should do was to understand the current situation of the Luo family. After all, apart from his own abilities, the Luo family was his biggest card.
And the reason why he asked this was because he felt that the Luo family's foundation was not as strong as he had imagined. Of course, the current foundation was still much stronger than when he was the head of the family.
After all, his era was too early, and the entire Luo family had not yet entered the stage of rapid advancement and invincibility, and the luck points had not yet begun to soar due to the establishment of Luoyang City.
If the Luo family had the strength they had during the time of Duke Xuan of Luo, Luo Su believed that his reforms of Bang Zhou would have been more thorough.
Although I heard from Ji Lingjun that the family is a bit miserable now, after all, even the title has been lost for more than a hundred years. If this happened to other families, it can basically be said that such a family does not exist. Even if it rises again later, it can be said to be fake.
But the Luo family naturally has their own advantages, that is the holy marks and the inheritance that can never be broken. There are too many things to prove their identity. This was the reason why the Luo family was fearless when they migrated to Liaodong.
Now Luo Su still doesn't know the purpose of King Su letting him come to this era, so he has a high degree of freedom. In this case, one of the things he has to do is to let the Luo family revive in a very safe manner.
Luo Chengxian led the way for Luo Su. They had already prepared a small courtyard for Luo Su, and there were a dozen maids and dozens of brave warriors as guards.
Of course, in Winter City, these are basically of little use, but to be cautious, Luo Chengxian still equipped himself with them.
Luo Su naturally would not refuse. He is still too young and caution is the first priority.
Luo Su and the entire Luo family would not know that the moment Luo Su was born, some strange phenomena occurred all over the Xia country.
These strange phenomena were reported by local county governors, provincial governors and county magistrates, and eventually gathered in the center of the Sui Empire - Chang'an!
This city, now the largest in the world, surpassed the imperial capital of Luoyang. The emperor of the empire saw all of it.
Yang Jian didn't quite believe this.
Especially when he was on the way to becoming the emperor, without any such help, he became more and more unconvinced.
But now he had no choice but to believe it, because a person could be said to be trying to use these to get something, but such news came from all directions, which was not a surprise!
Yang Jian asked Queen Dugu Qieluo about this matter, and he really asked the right person. As one can tell from her name, Dugu Qieluo believes in Buddhism and God, and she firmly believes that this is some kind of revelation from heaven.
Now Yang Jian had no choice but to believe it. As the incident escalated, all kinds of rumors began to spread!
