As Wu Chan wanted to become a disciple, and then followed Ying Zheng to find the Ice Gu seed insect, Ying Zheng simply wanted to directly incorporate his son Fusu into the Tiancheng lineage at the same time.
If Nan Su had not passed away, he would definitely not have made such a decision, at least not now.
Now that he has lost his mother, Ying Zheng wants his eldest son to truly grow up and become strong.
Ji Fa took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "You are only choosing a helper, the messenger of heaven, not a successor, so there are no restrictions. The only requirement is that you are not allowed to reveal those ancient secrets to the people, no matter it is Wu Chan or Fusu, as long as they can do this, they can join the Tiancheng lineage."
Of course Ying Zheng understands this rule, and Wu Chan is easy to talk to, but Fusu is still a child, so it's hard to say whether he can keep the secret.
"I'd better go back to the palace and talk to Fusu to see what he means." After that, Ying Zheng said goodbye and left the Treasure Pavilion.
Returning to the palace, he took Fusu to the imperial study alone again.
After Hu Yu's care and adjustment during this period, Fusu's mentality has improved significantly.
Ying Zheng pulled Fu Su over, let him sit on his lap, and said softly: "Son, how are you while father is away from home?"
Fusu nodded gently: "Fortunately, Aunt Hu Yu takes me to play every day, but I have fallen behind on my recent homework."
"It doesn't matter, there is no rush." Ying Zheng said in a mysterious manner, "Do you want to know that dad often goes out to do important things?"
Fusu nodded curiously.
"What dad does has only one purpose in the end." Ying Zheng said seriously, "That is to let all the people in the world live a comfortable and peaceful life. Come, let me show you some good things."
After saying that, Ying Zheng opened the secret compartment and took out the Black Iron Snail and Xuanyuan Sword hidden inside.
"This is Daddy's unique thing." As he said this, he twitched the Xuanyuan Sword.
With a low cry, the golden sword slowly came out of the body, instantly taking away the brilliance of other objects in the room. Although it did not emit a dazzling golden light, it instantly caught Fusu's eyeballs.
"This golden sword is the legendary Xuanyuan Sword!" Immediately, Ying Zheng told Fusu the history of the Xuanyuan Sword.
Fusu blinked his immature eyes: "Dad, are you saying that this is the holy sword made by our ancestor Huangdi? It has been passed down to the heirs of Tiancheng from generation to generation, and has been passed down to daddy's hands?"
"That's right." Ying Zheng said with some pride, "We, the successors of Tianhe, need to have the direct bloodline of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang. It was for this reason that the ancestors of Huang Emperor created the eight ancient surnames. Our surname Ying is one of them. one."
He also talked about the eight ancient surnames in general.
"Your grandmother's name is Zhao Ji. She is actually the descendant of the surname Ji." Ying Zheng continued, "Dad, I had a father named Lu Buwei before. He was the descendant of the surname Jiang. They are both direct descendants of Yanhuang. Bloodline.”
"So, the most important responsibility of our Yanhuang bloodline, especially the Tiancheng bloodline, is to maintain the unity of China and continue the inheritance of civilization. No matter what potential threats there are, we must do our best to overcome them. Only in this way can we Chinese civilization can be better passed on."
Although Fusu seemed to understand somewhat, his eyes brightened significantly and he was extremely interested in what Ying Zheng said.
"So, daddy is a different king from the kings of other countries?" Fusu asked.
"Yes." Ying Zheng put down the Xuanyuan Sword and pulled the Black Iron Compass in front of the two of them, "Look at this again."
Opening the compass, Ying Zheng turned a few of the needles on it at will.
"This is called the Black Iron Compass, which is a component of the Black Iron Snail." He introduced, "You can use this thing to identify the direction, and you can also find various minerals or specific metals buried underground."
After that, Ying Zheng turned the black iron screw, and after a few turns, the nut pointed steadily at the Xuanyuan Sword.
"It's fun!" Fusu's childlike innocence was instantly ignited. He stretched out his hand and followed his father's example to turn the black iron snail.
As expected, the nut was still pointing steadily at Xuanyuan Sword.
"This black iron snail can not only be used on the compass." Ying Zheng continued, "it is also the key to open our Tiancheng Mausoleum. The royal mausoleum we are building in Lishan is an extremely mysterious mausoleum."
"And we, the heirs of Tianhe, must build a huge mausoleum every generation to store many secrets passed down from ancient times."
"Dad, these two things were taken out from the tomb of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. When they are no longer needed in the future, they will be stored in the tomb of the king in Lishan Mountain."
Fusu's curiosity aroused, he shook Ying Zheng's arm and said, "Father, I want to go and take a look at Lishan Mountain, okay?"
"Of course." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "If dad gets old and loses his strength in the future, he will still count on you to help him build the tomb."
"Father, don't worry. When I grow up, all the hard work will be left to me." Fusu said resolutely.
Ying Zheng felt relieved and suddenly remembered something, and then asked: "By the way, do you still remember the red egg that was once stored in Zhao Gao's dormitory?"
Almost everyone in the palace knew that Zhao Gao was hatching eggs in the palace. It was only because of Ying Zheng's strict order that no one was allowed to mention it to the outside world, so everyone kept it secret.
Later, the red egg hatched out of the little Nian beast. Although no one in the palace had seen the Nian beast, they also heard about it.
"Remember." Fusu said, "I used to want to secretly take a look at the red egg, but I couldn't get into Uncle Zhao Gao's house. However, several times while Uncle Zhao Gao was in the house, I still begged him to stay away. I took a few glances."
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Now if you still want to see the red egg, you can't see it anymore. It has hatched into the Nian beast. It looks like it on the New Year picture we posted outside the door during the New Year. Do you want to see it?" it?"
"Think about it, think about it," Fusu said anxiously, "Isn't that Nian beast also very cute? Does it look like a puppy or a pony?"
"It's like a little tiger." Ying Zheng said, "Don't mess with it. It's not very sensible yet. You can only stay away and look at it. And it's in Lishan Mountain."
"Then Father, you have to take me to see it." Fusu said.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Daddy has to deal with some things today, so I'll take you there tomorrow morning, okay."
Fusu nodded happily.
Afterwards, Ying Zheng began to tell Fusu stories about the origin of human race and ancient civilization.
From Pangu coming to the planet controlled by the Dragon Clan to transform nature, to reconciling with the Dragon Clan after the conflict, to later the Dragon Clan entering the Nine Netherworld and arbitrarily changing the natural source of power, leading to the disaster of annihilation. It is also said that Fuxi's ancestor was ordered to lead the world when he was in danger. As Nuwa continued human civilization and restored the power of nature, the Five Emperors finally inherited the will of the Three Emperors to repair the dragon veins and search for ancient relics.
These stories are generally told by Ji Fa, but they are also mixed with some information that Ying Zheng obtained from Jiuyou and various guardian beasts. With the addition of details, the stories are even more lifelike.
Fusu never expected that his father, who had always been quite dignified, would be so good at telling stories, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
It was a rare opportunity for father and son to communicate face to face and heart-to-heart like this. It was already dark before they knew it, and it wasn't until their stomachs growled that they remembered to eat something.
"What should be said, dad has told you. You have a good sleep tonight, and I will take you to Lishan tomorrow. How about we visit the royal tombs and see the Nian beast?" Ying Zheng said.
Fusu responded, followed Ying Zheng to have dinner, and the two of them returned to Hu Yu's palace together.
Unexpectedly, Hu Yu was not in the palace, and her personal maid was taking Hu Hai to look at some calligraphy and paintings.
After questioning, I found out that Hu Yu and Wu Chan went to the stables.
No need to ask, these two women went to see the maple leaves.
When it comes to Maple Leaf, Ying Zheng is really thinking about it.
Since giving it to Hu Yu, Ying Zheng rarely goes to the stables. This is not his fault. After all, he is very busy all year round.
When I arrived at the stable specially built for Maple Leaf, I saw the two ladies sitting side by side, talking.
Seeing Ying Zheng coming, the two ladies stood up at the same time to greet him.
"Looks like you guys are good at talking." Looking at their playful expressions, Ying Zheng felt much relieved.
"Of course." Wu Chan said with a smile, "Sister Hu Yu and I have really good tempers, and Maple Leaf is also well taken care of by her."
"Can it be bad?" Ying Zheng complained, "She is closer to Maple Leaf than to me."
"You're still talking about it." Hu Yu retorted, "Your Majesty, you don't come to the stables all year round. If I don't treat Maple Leaf better, what should I do?"
Ying Zheng couldn't explain anything, so he walked to Maple Leaf's side, gently stroked the horse's belly and asked, "Didn't you say she was pregnant? How many months has it been?"
"Probably more than half a year." Hu Yu said angrily, "If you hadn't given the black fox to Touman Shanyu, Fengye would have been pregnant long ago."
This is true. Ying Zheng gave the black fox to Touman, and Hu Yucai selected a batch of black sweat-blooded horses from the other horses sent by Dawan. After they were strong and strong, Hu Yucai let It goes well with maple leaves.
"Okay, it's my fault." Ying Zheng said, "Otherwise, I want the black fox back?"
Hu Yu curled his lips and said, "It's unrealistic to say this. If we really force you to take the Black Fox back, won't you be called a witch who brings disaster to the country and the people?"
Wu Chan chuckled and said, "Although sister is joking, she is also telling the truth."
Hu Yu looked at Wu Chan and said: "Now Maple Leaf has a foal. When it gives birth, I will return Maple Leaf to you, just to borrow its belly."
"How can this be done?" Wu Chan waved his hand and said, "The king has given me another horse with blood, and the maple leaf is still yours."
"Then let's switch over." Hu Yu said, "You still want the maple leaf, and I want your horse."
Seeing that the two women had no results in being humble to each other, Ying Zheng quickly smoothed things over and said, "Just do as Hu Yu said. When Maple Leaf has a foal, you can exchange horses. Anyway, the difference is not big."
Now that King Qin has made the decision, the two women no longer refuse.
After staying in the stable for a while, Ying Zheng took them to Sima Mansion.
"Master, I brought them all here." Ying Zheng said to Ji Fa, "Since you are becoming a disciple, you have to be more presentable. Speaking of which, Hu Yu has not officially become a disciple, so why don't we all worship together today."
Ji Fa glanced at him sideways: "It's as if you have paid homage."
Ying Zheng: "..."
After so many years, he has never formally paid homage to Ji Fa.
"Make it up, make it up." Ying Zheng said slightly panicked, "Today the three of us are officially apprentices."
Hu Yu and Wu Chan couldn't help but chuckle.
Ying Zheng left the room in embarrassment and ordered Xu Fu to prepare the incense table for apprenticeship.
In order to appear solemn, Ying Zheng also moved the incense case to the secret room where Jiuding was stored.
Witnessed by these nine Chinese treasures, Ying Zheng and his two wives knelt down in front of Ji Fa and joined them in the apprenticeship ceremony.
Ji Fa's face was rosy, he was stroking his beard with his hand, and he was already grinning from ear to ear.
After living for eight hundred years, I finally have a successor!
