Chapter 133: Xuanyuan Sword? 12,000 words will be updated tomorrow...
"What exactly does your original form represent in that era? And what is your relationship with the Zhen family or Zhen Shuwang?"
Tian Xing (Dragon Scale Jade): [Why are you so sure? ]
"I don't have any evidence, but after I learned more about weapon spirits, I couldn't think of anything else that could explain why you and Zhen Shuwang are so similar."
Tian Xing: [It can't be because we simply look alike? ]
"Since there can be two strangers in this world who are not related by blood but look very similar, why can't there be a spirit that looks very similar to someone?"
"I used to think so, but then I gradually realized that you look too modern."
"Although the spirits of the artifacts are born from people's thoughts, it is also because of this that these spirits are either like Hongyu, which is similar to the legendary images in comic books. Or they are similar to Danfengshi (Three Kings Pot), which is closer to the image of humans in that era."
"But in comparison, your appearance is neither two-dimensional nor classical."
"Unless you tell me that you were created in modern times and then traveled back to ancient times to experience such a period of history, otherwise why would an ancient product have a modern face like the real world?"
"Reality is not a time-travel drama. Although we are all born and raised in the same land, there are some differences in appearance between people of different generations.
Not to mention the Donghuang land, which was born and grew stronger through the continuous integration of multiple ethnic groups."
"I can accept that you grew up to be a "little baby" imagined by the ancients, like Hongyu, but it is totally unreasonable for an ancient product to grow into a modern appearance."
"The most important thing is that you seem to have been hiding something from me."
Jia Wenyan: "You don't have to deny it in a hurry. I have completely figured it out. The reason why the Mogao Grottoes murals were damaged like that is because they knew that they were a large whole, and they did not become a spirit in the form of a single mural."
"In this case, it is impossible that you don't know what you were back then?"
[You are smart.] After hearing this, Tianxing, who was floating in the air, looked at Jia Wenyan with a complicated look and said:
[I should have told you before that many real people in history were given the title of God because of the relatively feudal background of that era.]
"I've heard of it, just like the old saying about the emperor."
"Yes, I don't know if you want to believe it or not, but my true form is the 'Xuanyuan Sword' that represented power and protection when Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi built the tribe."
Jia Wenyan: "Xuanyuan Sword? But you are not..."
[Yes, what you see now is the sword of Xuanyuan Sword.]
Tianxing: [The Xuanyuan Sword is mainly composed of two parts: the sword and the sword belt. ]
[Originally, Xuanyuan Sword was just a single sword, but after the tribe was established, in order to make Xuanyuan Sword more suitable to represent power, Emperor Xuanyuan specially created the "Dragon Scale Jade" in front of you for Xuanyuan Sword.]
[At that time, there was no concept of scabbard for swords, so Emperor Xuanyuan chose to hang a sword belt on the Xuanyuan Sword, which was essentially a symbol of declaring peace to all the tribesmen.]
Jia Wenyan: "But what does this have to do with you looking like Zhen Shuwang?"
"Don't tell me that Zhen Shuwang is the reincarnation of Emperor Xuanyuan."
[Of course not. But I do have some relationship with him.]
Jia Wenyan: "What do you mean?"
[Do you know what the existence of the sword belt meant in that era? ]
"Decoration? Power, status?"
[It means a relatively stable society, because only in this way can a sword be regarded as an ornament that can almost be regarded as a "burden". ]
[He represents a period of stability, but later the sword belt has another meaning. ]
[That is when the general goes to war again, it becomes his promise and hope to his wife and family. 】
[When a general takes off his sword, he will leave the sword belt to his family who miss him and wait for his safe return. Therefore, the existence of the sword belt is also regarded as a substitute left by the sword owner to his family. 】
[In most cases, the holder of this substitute is the sword master's wife.]
"So what do you mean? You mean that because I own you, you will become like my husband?"
"Can you at least find a reasonable excuse? When I first met you, although you were unable to reveal your spirit because your body was damaged, I learned about you from the Three Kings Pot and other spirits."
"I couldn't see clearly at the time, but they are both spirits. They only need to see your true form to understand what you look like."
"Are you trying to say that before you met me, you predicted that I would become your master, and then predicted that Zhen Shuwang would become my boyfriend?"
[No, you got the order wrong. The sword belt must be given by the sword master to the other party to confirm the existence of the relationship.]
\"Are you saying that Zhen Shuwang has the Xuanyuan Sword? That's even more outrageous, isn't it?"
"What's more, I am the dragon scale jade pendant that you are currently staying in. It is a replica that I copied bit by bit based on the dragon scale jade drawing you gave me."
"Don't mention Zhen Shuwang. When I was preparing to copy your jade pendant, I didn't even use the "jade material" prepared for me by my teacher, Zhen Shuwang's father."
"There should be no relationship between Zhen Shuwang and me. We are connected because of this dragon scale jade."
Tian Xing: [What if I tell you that the Zhen family is the heir of Emperor Xuanyuan's bloodline? ]
"Xuan...Xuanyuan Huangdi, are you saying that Zhen Shuwang...Teacher Zhen's family is the descendant of Xuanyuan Huangdi?"
"That's not right. Teacher Zhen is from Yanjing. He came to Xian'an with his master to support the Northwest Archaeological Team."
"Although we cannot deny that this may be due to family migration."
"But the surname Xuanyuan should not be changed easily."
"Even if Xuanyuan wanted to change his surname, it should be Xuan, or Yuan, a homonym."
[I didn't say that bloodline inheritance must be paternal.]
Tianxing in mid-air looked at Jia Wenyan, whose mind was in a mess, and smiled:
[It's a good thing you're still in the cultural relics business. ]
[Don’t you know that the period of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi was a special period when the ancient Donghuang society changed from a matriarchal society to a patriarchal society? ]
【Didn’t you humans once debate the mystery of the gender of the “Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors”? 】
"The mystery of the gender of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors...you are getting more and more outrageous."
Tian Xing: [Any gossip or tidbits that appear are definitely not completely "groundless". It's difficult for me to explain the specific situation to you, but I can tell you with certainty that in that generation, the father's surname was just a title, and the one who could inherit the blood was the mother who gave birth to the offspring.]
Jia Wenyan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she quickly reacted and said:
"I understand. In that era when medical care was relatively scarce, people gave birth simply out of instinct. They probably didn't understand the principle of the birth of a fertilized egg, or a newborn embryo."
"They just thought that the mother would give birth to a newborn baby after a certain stage, right?"
[Yes, in short, in that era, people gradually had a family system with the right to name because of the leadership of powerful people. ]
[But people don’t actually understand the entire embryonic development process. There was even a time when people believed that women would give birth to children as long as they grew to a certain stage.]
[Therefore, in the concept at that time, the one who could inherit the bloodline must be a woman. ]
"I see. So you are a descendant of my ancestors. That's why you can predict what my future significant other will look like through your spiritual power."
Tian Xing: [I am not talking about you either. The one who truly possesses the bloodline of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi is your master’s wife.]
Jia Wenyan: "Grandma Xu?"
[Yes, your grandmother Xu is the descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi.]
[Don’t forget that Emperor Xuanyuan is known as the ancestor of craftsmen. The golden pupils of time that you possess are the bloodline abilities that are passed down under the craftsman system.]
"But Grandma Xu and I don't have..."
【Hear me out.】
[It is true that the Golden Eyes of Age are a bloodline ability, but you can think of it as a kind of hidden DNA.]
[Not everyone has the opportunity to awaken. Moreover, after so many years, the bloodline of Emperor Xuanyuan has already branched into countless families. Your grandmother Xu just happened to be one of the families with a higher bloodline purity. And she has been engaged in craftsman-related work, so she awakened the Golden Eye of Time. ]
【What about me? 】
[It's very simple. Theoretically, the recessive gene of the Golden Eyes of Time should be passed down through the bloodline, but you also know that by the time of your grandmother Xu's generation, they had not had a daughter for two consecutive generations.]
[When this bloodline becomes too thin, everything will just depend on fate, and we have to hope that the other collaterals will have a good luck one day and produce an SSR with genetic regression.]
Jia Wenyan: "So I am that SSR?"
[Almost. However, your awakening is not only because you have a trace of the blood of the God of Craftsmen, but also because you have been blessed by a spirit, and this spirit just happened to connect you with the Zhen family, which has a stronger bloodline.]
Jia Wenyan: "Are you talking about yourself?"
Jia Wenyan reacted subconsciously. After all, it was because of the test questions represented by the Dragon Scale Jade that she became Zhen Yuandao's student and established connections with Grandma Xu and Zhen Shuwang.
[Stop, don't forget that I looked like this before I met you. You forgot what kind of antique artifacts you came into contact with before coming to Xian'an.]
Jia Wenyan: "You mean... my grandmother's imperial green jade bracelet?"
