King Lao Yan watched the interaction between Shui Han and Yuan Rang throughout the whole process, as if he were a bystander watching a play. He was suddenly asked a question by Shui Han and was a little caught off guard.
However, one advantage of being older is that everything is slower, even the reaction of facial expressions, so his surprise was suppressed before it showed on his face.
Old Yan King said with a bit of joking:
"They are the leaders of the eight Gotei Guards, and they are also the last source of confidence for the Yan Palace. There is nothing special in calling you here. I just want to hand them over to you."
"give it to me?"
Shui Han was confused. One disadvantage of young people is that they are more sensitive to everything, even facial expressions, so Shui Han's confusion immediately appeared on his face, and it was very exaggerated.
Is this old man crazy? He is possessed by evil spirits because of his old age. Is there something wrong with his brain?
There was nowhere to put the countless grooves in Shui Han's heart.
Then Shui Han saw the extremely calm and sincere eyes of the seven commanders, except for Wen Liangqian, whose eyes were too dark to see.
"Are you serious?"
Shui Han still found it difficult to understand. He looked at Old King Yan and said:
"No, why?"
The old King Yan said calmly:
"Because we, the Guardians, all believe that you have great potential, and we want to secure Yan's future on you."
"that's all?"
Do you think this sounds like something coming from an emperor?
Shui Han held back the second half of the sentence, always feeling that there was definitely something hidden that he didn't know.
Yuan Rang added:
"Young master Yi, you don't know. The Blood-Blooding Spirit Seal you used earlier is not something that ordinary people can use casually, nor can they completely abandon the connection with it after using it."
Shui Han understood the first half of this. The Blood-Sealed Spirit Seal was not usable by ordinary people because the burden was too great. Xiao Ting died just five days after using it. Shui Han, if it weren't for Zhi Wu and Ri Chu Qing, If he tried his best to save her, he would probably have entered reincarnation long ago.
But what does the second half of this sentence mean? Shui Han remembered that the blood-red mark attached to his arm had been taken back by Old Yan King.
"Could there be any sequelae?"
Yuan Rang said:
"It can't be considered a sequelae, but the Blood-Sealing Spirit Seal can gather half of the blood essence of everyone participating in the contract. This half of the blood essence contains not only half of the mana, but also bonds."
"Bond?"
Isn't this word used a bit strange?
"That's right, a bond. After using the power of the Blood-Sealed Spiritual Seal, a bond maintained by essence and blood was created between the holder of the seal and the contracting party. From then on, their fates are connected and inseparable. Because the contracting parties are all my Dayan's The elites can be said to be the backbone of the people who protect our country, or to put it another way..."
Yuan Rang's expression suddenly changed from easy-going to serious:
"Now you are connected with the national destiny of our Dayan."
"Ha, is it so mysterious?"
Originally, Yuan Rang's statement was already unacceptable to Shui Han. Talking about connected fates sounded too unreliable. Now, he brought up the so-called national destiny. Is this something that a twelve-year-old boy can understand?
Yuan Rang obviously saw Shui Han's confusion and said:
"What does Mr. Yi know about the words "Tiandao Qi Lun"?
Shui Han shook his head,
"I've probably heard of these statements, but they feel mysterious."
When Shui Han said he had heard of it, he only meant that he had read it in novels about monsters, gods and demons. However, those novels about monsters, gods and demons were basically full of descriptions of the male and female protagonists. These so-called words such as luck and heaven were all It's just a brief introduction, and I won't explain it in detail at all. What's more, if you have to connect such a mysterious word with yourself, it will be even more incomprehensible.
Yuan Rang understood in his heart that it seemed that this young man was still at a stage where he had only a limited understanding of the world's practice system and the related concepts involved. Perhaps he didn't study hard enough in Taoyuan.
Suddenly thinking of a good example to explain to Shui Han, Yuan Rang said:
"Master Yi, do you still remember the shadow of the Third Prince?"
Shui Han said:
"I remember, but I don't know his name yet."
Yuan Rang ignored the strange point that Shui Han was concerned about and said:
"The shadow of the Third Prince practices the Heavenly Stem of the Bagua and then enters the Golden Element of the Five Elements. The Heavenly Stem is one hexagram, which is the Director of Heavenly Mandate. Therefore, the secret he has comprehended is the ability related to this aspect, which is called Tianjibian.
The ability of Tianjibian is to ask questions about the way of heaven and get a positive or negative answer. It is similar to the priest's divination, but it does not require so many complicated procedures. Based on the effect of Tianjibian, Mr. Yi should be able to understand the so-called way of heaven, which is indefinable. , cannot be seen, cannot be controlled, but can be glimpsed.
For example, various other abilities such as Tianjibian, divination, and Tiangan can detect part of the way of heaven.
Words such as the way of heaven, destiny, destiny, etc. essentially mean the same thing. From ancient times to the present, many people have explored its essence. Some people think that it is a magical force outside of creation that exists between heaven and earth. It determines It determines the life direction of all human beings, and some people believe that it is the will of a certain original god, which determines the operation of all things in the world.
The explanations about the way of heaven are complicated and inconclusive, but most people believe that the way of heaven determines everything secretly, but does not directly interfere with anything. This is the current basic consensus of mankind on the way of heaven.
As for the national destiny I just mentioned, to explain this word, we have to mention another word, which is luck, because the collection of a country's destiny is the so-called national destiny.
The so-called luck, if you are an ordinary person, you can even simply understand it as luck.
Regarding the connection between luck and heaven, the classics of Jixia Academy once explained that heaven determines personal luck, and personal luck is the specific form in which heaven manifests itself in an individual.
This explanation is also difficult to understand. Let me give you an example. For example, the growth of a tree is related to many factors, including the weather, the quality of the soil, whether there are animals eating, whether there are natural disasters, etc., etc. The changes in these factors that determine the growth of trees are the way of heaven, and the growth of the trees themselves is luck.
From this example, we can easily see that the biggest difference between the way of heaven and luck is that the way of heaven cannot be changed artificially, but luck can, because in addition to the growth of trees being related to the above-mentioned natural conditions, humans themselves can also intervene in it. , such as applying fertilizer, such as digging the ground and digging roots.
Therefore, human beings cannot change the way of heaven, but they can change their own destiny through some means, such as using certain secret methods to seize other people's destiny. I heard that the Yin and Yang family are proficient in this method. Another example is..."
Yuan Rang paused deliberately for a moment and continued:
"The blood-sealed spirit seal."
