Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1235 Mother-daughter inheritance
  Concubine Yan slowly closed her eyes, and while losing her vision, her perception became sharper.

At this time, she could more clearly feel the huge, awe-inspiring, majestic sun-like power inside the sacred tree in front of her, which was very similar to her soul Xi Longyou.

Of course, Concubine Yan is now unable to determine whether her soul Xilongyou is similar to the divine power of the Fuso Sacred Tree, or whether her Soul Xilongyou was influenced by the Fuso Sacred Tree back then, or it was transformed and became similar to it.

But this is not important.

Hunxi Longyou is the most special of all the Yin and Yang arts in the Yin and Yang family, and is certainly the most powerful.

What's special about it is that different people have different specific effects after practicing it... even though they are all equally powerful and domineering.

There are also certain rules. For example, the leader of the Sun Sect, who is the successive deputy head Dongjun (there seem to be only a few people), Hun Xilongyou is as brilliant and blazing as the sun, and the leader of the Yue Sect, who is the successive deputy head of the Right Sect. The guardian moon gods are as silent and bright as the moon.

There are still subtle differences depending on the individual.

For the onmyoji that takes a different approach and pursues the extreme, this is really different, because other onmyoji are very fixed and are generally prone to side effects.

After all, magic is just magic, a dead thing.

The Taoist techniques of heaven and man are not as extreme and rigid as Yin Yang techniques and have obvious side effects, but they do not have such... variability that varies from person to person.

When she was still Dongjun, Concubine Yan was only loyal to the Yin Yang family and Donghuang Taiyi, so she never cared about this.

But after she jumped out of the cage of the Yin Yang family, she clearly realized this.

Unfortunately, perhaps because she was in this mountain, Concubine Yan could not find any clues.

Later, Gu Xun helped her research for a period of time, and she gained some results and gained a better understanding.

First of all, the reason why Hunxi Longyou shows different characteristics depending on the practitioners is probably due to the bloodline of the practitioners - this is at least one of the reasons.

This characteristic seems to have an unclear relationship with the secret of Canglong Qisu.

However, this is also in line with the characteristics of Donghuang Taiyi, and there is nothing wrong with it.

In addition, Gu Xun's only gain is that Yan Fei's soul Xi Longyou may be able to undergo further qualitative changes - still with the help of the power of the Fuso tree.

But he didn't know exactly how to do it, so Concubine Yan could only do it herself.

And then... no more.

She had already mastered Hun Xi Longyou, and after her trip to Shushan, she became even more powerful.

This was enough for Concubine Yan, who was already strong enough at the time and had no immediate external threats.

She has always pursued strength in the past, but now she still doesn't want to be weak, but she no longer desires it blindly.

But today, she stood in front of Fuso Shenmu again, and she also brought her daughter with her.

As the former deputy head of the Yin-Yang family, Concubine Yan knew very well that her daughter had a talent for Yin-Yang that far exceeded her, the former top genius of the Yin-Yang family.

This talent may come from bloodline - although Gu Xun has always insisted that it is purely his daughter's talent and has nothing to do with any other factors.

He also had his own reasons. After all, half of Qianlong's bloodline came from Concubine Yan and half from him.

Concubine Yan is a descendant of the Feng family, so her bloodline talent is naturally outstanding... Although Gu Xun has always felt that it was weird for him to talk about bloodline in the world of martial arts.

But the world of Qin Dynasty...it really only had this virtue.

Back to the topic, there is no need to say more about Chitaki’s maternal bloodline, but the source of his paternal bloodline is Gu Xun, and his talent is not very good.

In order to test his talent in onmyoji, Gu Xun once studied for a period of time without relying on his own plug-ins.

As for the results... I can only say that I got started very quickly.

This is because he himself is equivalent to a figure standing on the top of a mountain, relying on analogy and condescension.

Once he conducted in-depth study and research, he immediately returned to his original form and became a person with mediocre talent - this was Concubine Yan's evaluation of him.

It is precisely because of this evaluation that Gu Xun insists that his daughter is purely a talent obtained through his own hard work.

After all, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to average two numbers to get a number that is larger than itself.

Concubine Yan's views are not as digital as those of the men in science and engineering. She is more biologically inclined, so under Gu Xun's unintentional inspiration, she believed that her daughter might be a return to her ancestors to a certain extent, inheriting the excellent talents of her ancestors...

The two could not agree on this point.

Of course, this is also unimportant.

In the past ten years, Concubine Yan has never taught Qianlong any knowledge related to Onmyoji. She has only allowed her to grow up as an ordinary girl, be literate and read, and has never even made up her mind to really let her learn Onmyoji.

Until recently…

Concubine Yan already knew everything about Qianlong's encounter in Guancheng even before she returned to Xianyang.

This trip is undoubtedly the most dangerous trip in Qianlong's life... In Concubine Yan's opinion.

In fact, Gu Xun promised Concubine Yan more than once that he would never let Qianlong get hurt - bumps and bumps didn't count, and a child couldn't take any loss without suffering any loss.

Concubine Yan also believed in Gu Xun's guarantee and was sure that nothing would happen to her daughter, even if it was a trip to the government city that she considered extremely dangerous.

However, she still made the decision to teach her daughter the art of onmyoji.

She doesn't want to restrict Chitaki's freedom, and it's not a bad thing to love adventure and travel.

Therefore, she hopes that her children will be able to protect themselves when they are in danger, instead of simply relying on their father's protection.

In fact, Gu Xun also has the same view, but it is not advisable to practice martial arts too early. You must be at least eleven or twelve years old, when your muscles and bones are just beginning to mature.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you practice internal strength first.

The real reason why Gu Xun didn't teach his daughter to practice martial arts was... Qiantaki didn't like it.

She didn't like wielding swords or guns, and she didn't like fisting or kicking. It was difficult to effectively improve combat power by simply practicing internal skills. Instead, it would waste a lot of time, so she refused.

She is more interested in medical skills than martial arts, so Gu Xun will naturally not force her. As for the yin and yang technique, that is Concubine Yan’s responsibility. If she doesn’t teach it, Gu Xun will not overstep her authority.

Fortunately, Chitaki doesn't like martial arts, but she is not resistant to Yin Yang surgery. Instead, she finds it very interesting. This is her reaction after she left Xianyang with her mother and was initially exposed to Yin Yang surgery.

Compared with martial arts that are said to be used to strengthen the body, but are actually mostly used to show off bravery and are mainly used in combat, the scope of Yin Yang magic is much wider, and it contains a lot of interesting knowledge - astronomy, astrology , five elements, matter, divination...etc.

Used in killing battles, it is only the most direct and superficial way of application... Of course, this is also the main application direction of most people who practice Yin and Yang.

There is no way, most people still have to give priority to the issue of combat effectiveness. After all, not everyone has an invincible father.

What's more, the overbearing power of Onmyojitsu is simply to lure others into a fight.

It was precisely because of the decision to teach Qianlong the art of yin and yang, and at the same time, there may be the reason of Jingji Sidong, and there may be more reasons. In short, Concubine Yan chose to take Qianlong to leave Xianyang and come to the current Fengyunjihui. The coast of the East China Sea.

First of all, this is the place where the mirage was launched, and the starting point for the most important operation planned by the Yin Yang family for at least a hundred years.

Secondly, it was because the Fuso sacred tree was here now, and she wanted to bring her daughter to see this sacred tree.

Certainly not for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

For Concubine Yan, who insists on bloodline atavism, Gu Xun's idea is just wishful thinking to brag about her daughter. She doesn't mind doing this, but reality will not change according to her ideas.

Chitaki's talent is indeed excellent, but perhaps because the bloodlines of Gu Xun and Feng are not compatible, there are still some shortcomings.

She took Chitaki to find the Fuso Shenmu just to see if she could help Chitaki make up for this shortcoming.

It sounds a bit nonsense, but... the Fuso Sacred Tree and the Three-Legged Golden Crow are nonsense enough in themselves, so Concubine Yan thinks there is no problem.

The changes that occurred after she came into contact with the Fuso Sacred Tree were initially thought to be due to the special nature of Soul Xi Longyou. Later, after further research, she came to a new conclusion - it was more likely to be her own fault.

Therefore, she believes that her daughter also possesses this specialness, even without having learned Hun Xi Long Yu.

Now, she and Chitaki stood in front of Fuso Shenmu, but unfortunately, nothing happened to Chitaki.

This may be because Chitaki is now close to an ordinary person and has just begun to learn onmyoji. It may also be because Fuso Shenmu is in poor condition and can no longer actively influence the outside world.

The specific reason is that it doesn't matter, this is just an attempt, and besides, this attempt is not over yet.

Chitaki looked at her mother in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly closed her eyes, and her temperament seemed to have changed, giving her a strange and familiar feeling.

It seemed like something she had not been exposed to much, but which left a deep impression on her.

At this time, Concubine Yan slowly raised one of her hands, and the golden light gathered little by little in the palm of her hand, eventually evolving into a wispy dragon's aura.

When Longyou's Qi appeared, Qiantaki's attention was immediately drawn to it. His eyes stared at the light without blinking, and he fell into a state of confusion.

Immediately afterwards, more Longyou Qi appeared from Concubine Yan's palm, and swayed around her body.

Qiantaki's eyes were fixed on Long You's energy, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

She didn't recognize this thing, but she could guess that it was the onmyoji that her mother practiced.

Although she didn't understand why she cared so much about it, a kind of Yin Yang magic?
  At this time, Concubine Yan suddenly opened her closed eyes, and a large amount of Longyou Qi wandering around her suddenly began to gather in one place—aggregation...compression...reconstruction...forming!
  Accompanied by a clear bird song that was not too loud, a bird with a strange appearance appeared in Chitaki's sight.

The dark wings exude a faint golden light. The curled and upright crest on the bird's head is like a supreme crown. The fiery red in the two small eyes is wrapped with solid golden light. The most conspicuous thing is the chest. There is a golden sun pattern that seems to project light all over the sky, and under the body, there are three slender and sharp claws.

Chitaki's eyes widened, shocked by what he saw.

She didn't understand why her mother's... well, probably the Onmyoji technique, could transform into a specific animal, and it was still so solid and realistic. Even if she was so close, she couldn't see any signs of falsehood. It seems...it's true.

A real bird?

But this is obviously impossible. Not to mention how the mother could conjure a living creature out of thin air. Judging from the appearance of this bird, it is not a creature that exists in reality!

This shock and surprise stayed in Chitaki's mind for a brief moment, and then she completely forgot about it. All her attention was redirected to this newly born three-legged strange bird - she was probably too surprised, Otherwise she might not be distracted by anything else and just focus on the bird.

The unfamiliar feeling of familiarity became stronger and stronger, and Chitaki felt that his thoughts were becoming more blurred and chaotic, as if he was affected by this strange bird.

In the outside world that she didn't pay attention to, the hibiscus sacred tree seemed to be affected by some external force. The leaves closest to the mother and daughter began to shake gently, and the already golden leaves became more and more brilliant.

Concubine Yan glanced at her daughter, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

It seemed that her guess was correct. The main reason why Chitaki didn't react when she encountered the Fuso Sacred Tree was that the Fuso Sacred Tree was in a bad state and was unable...or unwilling to actively intervene in everything that affected the outside world.

Now she used her Longyou Qi to condense and manifest an imitation three-legged golden crow. After activating part of the power of the Fuso sacred tree, Qiantaki's body also changed.

Concubine Yan did not hesitate, stretched out her hand, and 'threw' the three-legged golden crow towards the Fuso sacred tree - in fact, it should be said that it took the initiative to flap its wings and fly over.

It seemed that the three-legged Golden Crow could no longer be real. After coming into contact with the Fuso Sacred Tree, it instantly turned into a stream of light and blended into the boundless canopy.

This immediately aroused a further reaction from the Fuso Sacred Tree. The light released by that small part of the leaves became more and more intense, and it was faintly condensing towards a central point.

At first glance, it seems to be a replica of Concubine Yan's operation of manifesting the three-legged golden crow.

Concubine Yan stared closely at the majestic sun-like power that she could physically feel, paying attention to any subtle changes in it, waiting for its real feedback.

………………

Above the mirage, there is the Zibei Water Pavilion area.

This area is like a tourist aquarium built on a mirage. In the huge glazed aquarium, several huge koi carp that are almost larger than sharks are swimming 'freely' inside. It seems that they are living a good life. Very moisturizing.

There are always some special creatures in this world that seem normal but are extremely irrational upon closer inspection.

For example, the koi carps raised in Zibei Water Pavilion, and the black panther that Shi Lan raised that was bigger than an elephant, and the ferocious black tiger that was as big as a cow, could move in quicksand. Dead fish and so on.

In Gu Xun's words, he felt that these things were even more outrageous than the three-legged golden crow. At least it was acceptable for the bird gene to mutate into three legs.

With a body shape like Xiao Hei's, theoretically, it is not a carnivore that can appear on land.

Of course, his accusations and complaints cannot change the world.
