Chapter 550: The End of Reincarnation ⑤
[Ding Dong: Resonance detected with five reincarnations. Congratulations to the host, memory recovery has increased to 100%!]
Suddenly, her ears flashed back to the conversation she had with Ying Zheng in the observatory in that life. He said, "If one day my empire needs to be reborn, let the Xuanniao Guard be the arrow that breaks the deadlock."
"Oh, right," she said, gripping the shadow of the Qin King's Sword. The ring pattern on her wrist fully manifested itself for the first time as a black bird with outstretched wings. She turned to look at Xuanyuan Shaoze and asked, "Have you sent anyone to look for Master?"
Xuanyuan Shaoze smiled, and the dragon claw embroidery on his robe suddenly moved, transforming into a line of small calligraphy that caught Su Mohui's eye. "Master has brought the Youlong Empire back to the Ninth Heaven. When your disciple returns, there's no need to look for him. Just do whatever you want."
Shen Jia'an pulled Qi Mo to look at the map, and at the same time kicked away the remains of the mechanical beast, revealing the Great Qin battle formation engraved underneath. "Let's use the 'Goose Feather Formation' that conquered the Seleucids back then, but this time the enemy is the web of reincarnation woven by the Heavenly Dao."
Qin Yi and Xuanyuan Shaoze nodded, a hint of understanding flashed in their eyes, and Su Mohui quickly copied and saved the "Goose Feather Formation" using the blueprint provided by the system.
In this way, the five people discussed in the quiet room of the library for a whole day. When the five people walked away on the moon, the candle in the quiet room suddenly went out.
In the darkness, three tiny lights lit up on the banks of the Luo River on the map, echoing the elixir fire of Tianming Pharmacy and the silver ring light of Qi Mansion. It was just like the black bird battle flags forming a winning formation in the night sky when the Qin cavalry set out on the expedition countless reincarnations ago.
................
One morning a few days later.
The slightly cool morning mist, carrying the fragrance of the locust flowers blooming on both sides of the street, spread over the bluestone road. The bronze lion head in front of the Su Mansion was covered with morning dew, shining crystal light in the sunlight.
Su Mohui pinched her fingertips into her palms, and there was still cinnabar in the cracks of her nails from copying the Qin battle formation last night. She stared at Su Yue who was walking slowly in the distance on the street. The black bird patch on her father's court robes was still there, but his eyes were slightly red.
It had been a long time since she last saw the high fighting spirit on her adoptive father's face when he was wearing court robes since they last parted after the real war.
She glanced down and saw Shen Jia'an beside her crushing the locust petals on the stone steps with the heel of his boot. His cuffs, embroidered with the Vermillion Bird, slipped down, revealing the newly branded flame totem on his forearm.
That was the mark left by the runes when I was secretly copying the formation diagram in my father's study last night.
"Father, we want to join the army! We want to learn martial arts and defend our country!" Su Mohui looked up at Su Yue's surprised eyes. The nine-year-old girl's voice was calm and steady, which did not belong to her age.
She spread out her palms. The black bird pattern she had copied in the library a few days ago had not faded yet, and it contrasted beautifully with the light gold ring pattern on her wrist.
Shen Jiaan shook out the parchment in his arms at the right moment. The edge of the goose feather formation outlined by ink lines was stained dark red. It was the spiritual power mark he had made by using the secret method of the Vermillion Bird Guard with the blood sacrifice of his fingertips. At this moment, a faint shadow of fire was floating in the morning mist.
Qi Mo walked out from behind a nearby pillar and touched the jade pendant with the Chinese character "Qi" engraved on his waist. "Uncle Su, my father has discussed with the Emperor that after the starting price, additional funds will be allocated specifically for purchasing weapons and expanding the military camp."
Listening to the words of the three little guys in front of him, Su Yue heard the court beads in his hand drop to the ground with a slight "clang" sound.
But he had no intention of picking it up. His eyes moved from the black bird emblem on the battle map to his daughter's face, staring at it for a long time.
Until he saw a flash of golden light in Su Mohui's eyes. It was the mark of the awakening of her true divine bloodline left by the Queen Mother of the West, and it appeared at this moment.
Su Yue suddenly laughed out loud, her laughter making the black iron pendant on her chest buzz. "Great! You are worthy of being the daughter of Xuan Nu and me!"
He caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, turned abruptly, and grabbed the wrist of Shen Youzhi who was just passing by. The tassel on the latter's waist with the military order engraved with the word "Shen" was still stained with grass debris from the martial arts training ground on the outskirts of the city.
Under Shen Youzhi's puzzled gaze, he just laughed for a long time, which made the former think for a long time and still couldn't figure it out. But after half a quarter of an hour, he finally understood what was going on -
The beating of the military drums in the martial arts field made people's hearts tremble. Half of a bronze military talisman lay in Su Mohui's palm. The patterns on the talisman were uneven, and the gap at the end of the talisman was exactly the mark left by the halberd of the Queen Mother of the West.
This time, when Su Yue gave the tiger talisman to Su Mohui, no one stood up to object. Even Ren Siyuan could sense that the eyes of the nine-year-old girl in front of him were not childish, but the sharp eyes of someone who had actually been on the battlefield to kill the enemy.
The words "Stop the War" were embroidered on the silk handkerchief that Su Yue had carefully used to wrap the military talisman. Su Mohui's fingers stroked the raised areas of the embroidery, and her eyes reddened slightly. A long time ago, her mother's wish was also world peace, right?
When the battle flag of the Luoshen Empire was slowly raised, the six hexagonal stars scattered next to the huge Roselle flower actually shone in her eyes.
At this moment, Su Mohui also heard the sound of gears turning from the depths of her sea of consciousness:
[Ding Dong: The seal of military power has been detected to be loosening, and the rules of the first generation of heaven are breaking down——]
At the same time, Qi Mo and Shen Jia'an, who were standing behind her, sensed the movement in their respective sleeves at the same time. When the silver ring on Qi Mo's wrist resonated slightly with the totem on Shen Jia'an's arm, three spiritual powers condensed into a tiny shadow of a black bird in the morning sky, slowly landing on the bright red flag.
The huge Roselle, woven with luxurious and shining gold thread, is emitting a dazzling brilliance.
.............
A week later.
Su Mohui slept in for a rare time, leaning against the bronze stone lion in front of the Su Mansion. After yawning, she watched Ma Chen slowly approaching with a banner with the word "Shen" on it. The star-track jade pendant that was exposed through the gap in the curtain was glowing.
Qi Mo suddenly lowered his voice, "Oh, right, right after the gong sounded at three quarters of an hour today, my father was summoned to the palace by the Emperor to discuss military preparations and money."
Su Mohui nodded slightly, and when she saw Shen Jiaan sticking his head out of the carriage, she burst out laughing, "Let's go."
The two of them got on the carriage and chatted and laughed with Shen Jiaan——
Ever since the last time Su Yue publicly awarded Su Mohui half a military token in the martial arts arena, Qi Zhaoquan and Shen Youzhi, two important officials in the court, have frequently brought them into the palace on the pretext of "reading books with the eldest prince."
But in fact, this was a plan devised by Xuanyuan Shaoze. If Su Mohui wanted to take any action during the Luoshui sacrifice, he must let Emperor Xuanyuan know and get his approval.
She stroked the warm military talisman in her sleeve, remembering the annotation Xuanyuan Shaoze had deliberately made in the library yesterday when he tapped the Luoshu annotations with his folding fan: "The black bird returns to its place, responding to the time of heaven."
The red and white patterns between the pages of the Luoshu are the secret symbols of the Xipan Church.
