Chapter 734: The First Born
In the middle of a cold winter night more than 30 years ago, in a brightly lit hall in the southwest, a group of small maids stood with their hands down, and many maids and ladies carried hot water basins and shuttled back and forth.
The atmosphere in the house was very tense, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive, and everyone was afraid to come out.
It wasn't until late at night that there was a loud cry from the backyard, it was a new life, he had just come into this world, destined to be favored by everyone, and destined to shoulder the responsibility of this family.
Therefore, after the cry, which was slightly louder than that of ordinary babies, landed, whether it was the front hall or the back yard, everyone's tense faces eased.
"Congratulations, brother."
"Yes, now there is a successor to the Liu family."
The antechamber suddenly became lively, accompanied by the sound of the child's crying, as if he was an angel who had suddenly descended, and set the quiet house like an empty hell on fire in an instant.
Liu Quanran's face was full of smugness, and he arched his hand in all directions, "You are thousands of miles away today, and it has been very tiring to come to this southwest to participate in my child's birth banquet. ”
Everyone hurriedly replied: "Where is it, Brother Liu is serious." ”
"Since the baby was born successfully, let's start the banquet! Feel free to do so, everyone! As soon as the words fell, countless colorful fireworks swept into the sky, embroidering a beautiful picture of the prosperity of the world on the canopy, setting off the dazzling beauties below, like heaven.
Suddenly, an old Taoist came in from the door knocking on a wooden fish from the door of the house, Liu Quanran was open at this time, and seeing everyone was as kind as seeing his son, so he asked people to invite the old Taoist in, just to tell fortunes for his son.
When everyone heard him say this, they were all quite surprised for a while, "Brother Liu's Five Elements Technique can go sideways in the rivers and lakes, and at this time, he actually went to invite an old Taoist to tell the fortune of the little son?" ”
Liu Quanran smiled and didn't answer, but insisted on letting the old Taoist come into the room and sit down.
"In that case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate."
The old Taoist shouted "Amitabha" and stepped into the house. Who knew that this time it caused a lot of laughter, and some people scrambled to say: "Old Taoist, you are the Jade Emperor for a while, and Amitabha Buddha Shakyamuni for a while, which one is your ancestor and grandfather?" ”
The rest of the crowd echoed and laughed at the old man. Liu Quanran was also a little unsightly at this time, and because many heroes of the rivers and lakes were here, it was not easy to attack, so as not to fall into the hands of others, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart first.
The old Taoist sat down in a corner of the courtyard and sighed, "There is a new prince in your mansion, this prince cannot learn the Five Elements Array Technique, and everything related to the Five Elements is best not to be touched." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, some people with strong blood and strength could not help but slap the table and stand up, glaring angrily.
"Wu Na Lao Dao, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person! Don't you know that this is the dignified southwest Liu family? I came here to go wild! ”
"That's it, this old thing that doesn't teach Buddha or Buddha, I'm afraid it's old and confused!"
Everyone rushed to insult the old man, and they wanted to vent all the fire in their stomachs from elsewhere on this old man.
Although Liu Quanran is a person who "can support the boat in the prime minister's belly", when he saw this old man talking nonsense at this time, he couldn't help but blacken his face and no longer spoke out to defend him.
When everyone saw this scene, they were even more downset. even threw the last words left by the old Taoist out of the clouds.
Stay until the middle of the month, this time is the heaviest time of the day, the newborn son of the house, according to the practice of the Five Elements Artist, is to choose a name for the child at this time, set the destiny of heaven.
At this time, the moon was still some time away from Zhongtian, and Liu Quanran had already sent someone to clean up all the leftovers in the hall, and only put some melons, fruits, cakes and cakes on the table to relieve the boredom of the guests.
Suddenly, a shout shouted, "The auspicious time has come!" Go and bring the little boy over! ”
Someone had already hugged a little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, Liu Quanran reached out and took it, and there were words in his mouth, and after a while, he said in a trembling voice: "The next head of the Liu family today is this child, named Broken Night!" ”
After saying that, he actually shed tears, and everyone just thought that he cried after giving birth to five girls in succession, and finally having a son.
Speaking of this, Broken Night lifted the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"Uncle Broken Night turned out to be from the Liu family."
Qi Yu on the side scratched his head, and his face showed a look of clarity.
"Do you know the Liu family?" Seeing Qi Yu's expression, Chao Yan couldn't help but be a little puzzled - the Liu family had been wiped out more than thirty years ago, and it stands to reason that even Qi Xiaoxian and Ruan Di didn't necessarily know, but this little girl made such an appearance, which really made people suspicious.
Qi Yu smiled, a little embarrassed, "I don't know." ”
Chaoyan: "......"
"Uncle Broken Night, what happened to you?" Qi Yu turned his head to the side of Broken Night and said curiously.
"My Liu family is a family that has studied the Five Elements Array Technique for generations, so many countries want to win us over. Just like you said, the effect of the formation technique is definitely a one-man affair. ”
Qi Yu said: "Well, it turns out that Uncle Broken Night's Five Elements is a family heirloom, no wonder it's so powerful!" ”
Broken Night raised her eyes and glanced at the little girl faintly, still casually telling the past.
Because the Liu family is in the southwest, which happens to be the junction of the Dajin Kingdom and the Central Plains, the people on both sides did not dare to offend the people of the Liu family, but tried their best to win them over.
At that time, the people in the rivers and lakes and the imperial court were not in harmony. Although since ancient times, the government and the martial arts have been emphasized to non-aggression with each other, but as the war became tense, some sects also violated the agreement on the rivers and lakes and openly or secretly joined the struggle of the imperial court.
This has led to the fact that the rivers and lakes have become as smoky as the imperial court. The Liu family has always boasted of being upright and high, and has always acted according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, but the court was very polite and respectful to them, and the people in the rivers and lakes were suspicious of each other, which finally led to the Liu family not being able to eat on the rivers and lakes and in the court.
Liu Quanran was bent on cultivating Broken Night into the most powerful array magician, but he didn't have a clear understanding of his own situation, and by the time he realized the seriousness of the situation, he was already overwhelmed.
Broken Night's teeth made a slight grinding sound, as if grinding his teeth, and he coughed softly.
Ruan Di, Qi Xiaoxian, and Qiu Gu had come here for some time, and they were all listening to him attentively.
