Chapter 654 Zhao Yan is promoted to a saint
Gu Xu walked into the room, walked around the screen, and saw Zhao Yan lying on the large carved bed covered with a quilt.
Although in this world full of extraordinary power, her body recovered quickly and childbirth did not seem to leave any traces on her body,
Gu Xu still noticed that she There was a trace of obvious fatigue between his brows.
Not far from her, stood several young palace maids, one of whom was holding a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.
Gu Xu walked straight to Zhao Yan, sat down on the chair next to the bed, held her hand exposed outside the quilt, and said softly: "Yan'er, thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Yan looked Looking at him, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She originally thought that Gu Xu would see the child first.
Unexpectedly, he came to her first.
"I'm okay," she turned over and lay on her side facing Gu Xu. She stretched out her other hand and gently covered the back of his hand, deliberately using Yun Danfeng to gently He said in a tone of voice, "Women all over the world have come here like this. But you, Your Majesty, have been working on state affairs until late at night every day. That is the real hardship."
"Yan'er likes to be tough." Gu Xu lowered his head and placed a kiss on the back of Zhao Yan's fair and smooth hand. "Earlier today, when the imperial doctor told me that you were going to give birth, I felt nervous. But now I feel relieved to see you are well."
As he said that, he turned his eyes to the palace maid next to him.
"Come, let me see our child." He said softly, took the baby from the hands of the palace maid, and held it carefully in his arms.
The baby's skin looks wrinkled and red, his eyes are tightly closed, and his eyebrows are very light.
Gu Xu was a little surprised that with his and Zhao Yan's looks, they could give birth to such an ugly little thing.
Seemingly noticing the surprised expression on Gu Xu's face, the palace maid immediately said respectfully: "Your Majesty, newborns look like this. After a few days, if she drinks more milk, she will become beautiful."< br>
However, it was not just the baby's appearance that surprised Gu Xu.
What’s more, it’s the bloodline power and cultivation talent that she showed right after she was born.
When Gu Xu's consciousness gently floated into her body, he clearly felt that her body temperature was much hotter than that of ordinary people - the blood flowing in her veins did not seem to be blood. But it is rushing magma.
It's like returning to our ancestors.
Her Yanling bloodline is not only far stronger than Zhao Yan's, it is even stronger than Xi's from thousands of years ago.
In addition, every breath and every movement of the baby seems to be in perfect harmony with the rhythm of the great avenue of heaven and earth.
The lines of cause and effect extending from her body are closely connected with the avenues, intertwining into a mysterious map.
Such a strange phenomenon can usually only be seen in races like the Dragon Clan, which are favored by the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and Gu Xu, a body carefully crafted by Emperor Ziwei and born to be close to Tao. See it.
"Could this be the legendary 'Innate Sacred Body Taoist Fetus'?" Gu Xu looked at his daughter and thought jokingly, "This little girl is really born with the appearance of a great emperor. ! ”
"Gu Lang, have you decided what name to give your daughter?" Zhao Yan suddenly asked.
"Didn't I tell you before? If it's a daughter, call her 'Gu Siyan'." He smiled slightly and replied.
Hearing what he said, Zhao Yan snorted, tugged on his sleeves hard, and said dissatisfied: "You are now the monarch of Daxia, and your daughter will also become the most watched one in Daxia. Princess, how could you give her such an unorthodox name? If you tell her, it will make everyone laugh. "
"What's so unorthodox?" Gu Xu said seriously. Can’t I like my queen openly?”
“You bastard,” Zhao Yan was amused and annoyed by his behavior, “give me a normal name!”
Gu Xu thought seriously for a while, then slowly said: "Then... let's call her 'Gu Qingyan'!
"He Qing Haiyan, the world is peaceful.
“I only hope that the hard work of you and me today will enable her to live in a prosperous age of peace and tranquility.”
…………
< br>Under the careful care of the imperial doctor, after a few days, Zhao Yan was not only able to get out of bed and walk, but also picked up the spear "Yizhangwei" and went straight to the army's training ground.
Gu Xu had been worried about her physical condition.
But Zhao Yan said that her current condition could not be better.
She said that during the period of pregnancy, perhaps because of her daughter’s special physique, she had an unprecedented deep understanding of the avenues of heaven and earth, and her cultivation also improved by leaps and bounds, and she is now only one step away from the realm of a saint. .
"I plan to take this opportunity to retreat and make a breakthrough in ten days." She looked at Gu Xu with bright eyes, "You promised before that you would help me protect the Dharma."
"That's right. ." Gu Xu nodded.
Recalling that last year, when he was promoted to the saint realm in the secret room of Liangzhou City, Zhao Yan held a spear and led the army to resist the attack of the Daqi Dynasty for him, trying his best to buy him time.
She even almost died under the attack of Emperor Tianxing's projection.
If Gu Xu had not cultivated into a saint in time, broken through the barriers, and used the power of "time" to reverse time, I am afraid that the two of them would have been separated by Yin and Yang.
To this day, whenever he remembers Zhao Yan's breathing and heartbeat stopping, he still has lingering fear.
This memory constantly reminds him that he must become stronger in order to protect the people around him, and he must not relax easily.
He and Zhao Yan have experienced countless hardships together, and have a deep connection with each other in their past and present lives. Now they have a child with their blood flowing in their bodies.
Gu Xu could no longer imagine how terrible losing her would be to him.
"This time, it's me to protect you." He looked at her charming eyes with raised tails and said with a faint smile.
Zhao Yan stretched out a pair of white arms, hugged his neck, pressed her chest against his, and gave him a deep kiss.
…………
The appearance of a newborn baby changes rapidly.
In just a few days, Gu Qingyan no longer looked like a wrinkled "little old man". His skin quickly became smooth and tender. He finally opened his eyes and looked at the world in confusion.
Whenever Gu Xu had free time, he would walk from the study to the bedroom, snatch his daughter from the hands of the palace people, and hold her in his arms with one hand.
Although Gu Qingyan's face is still young, you can already vaguely see the shadows of Gu Xu and Zhao Yan, especially the shape of his eyes, which are almost carved from the same mold as Zhao Yan.
Gu Xu can already imagine that when she grows up, she will definitely be a stunning beauty.
He seemed to understand the feelings of a father like Shi Lei who held his daughter in his hands every day for fear of falling, and held her daughter in his mouth for fear of melting.
At this moment, the father and daughter were looking directly at each other.
Gu Xu noticed that deep in his daughter's pupils, there was a golden-red light flickering, like a flame dancing in the dark night, or like lava flowing deep underground.
Gu Qingyan reached out of the swaddle with a small hand and shook it in front of Gu Xu's eyes, as if asking him for a toy.
When a palace maid next to her saw this, she immediately picked up the rattle and started clattering next to her.
But Gu Qingyan was indifferent and seemed to have no interest in it. Gu Xu smiled.
With a thought in his mind, the true energy gathered in the palm of his hand and turned into a cluster of bright flames.
The flame is like an orange elf, flickering on and off, changing erratically, dancing non-stop.
It looks dreamlike and extremely beautiful.
However, it actually contains extremely terrifying high temperatures and destructive power, and can instantly turn a low-level practitioner into ashes.
Feeling the breath of the fire, the baby seemed to suddenly become excited and his eyes opened wide.
She first stretched out her finger and poked the "new toy" tentatively.
The flames gently licked her white and tender skin, but did not cause any harm to her. Instead, they seemed to make her feel particularly comfortable.
Then, she snatched the ball of fire from Gu Xu's hand, held it in her palm, pinched it, and kneaded it into various shapes.
Then, he threw it up like a ball and stretched out his little hand to catch it steadily.
When the palace people nearby saw this scene, their hearts tightened, fearing that the baby would be harmed by this dangerous move.
“Relax,” Gu Xu smiled and reassured everyone, “This little guy’s ability to control fire is probably not much inferior to her mother’s. She is very smart and will definitely not hurt herself. Just think of her as playing with a stuffed animal."
But no one dared to relax at all.
The moment Gu Xu finished speaking, Gu Qingyan suddenly slapped the palms of his two small hands, and the flame suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Faced with such a change, the heartbeats of everyone present stopped for half a beat.
Only Gu Xu remained calm and composed.
"Don't panic, she just absorbed the energy of the flame," he explained, "Just think of her as drinking milk."
Everyone lowered their heads in respect. Call it yes.
On the surface, they dare not refute Gu Xu’s words, but in their hearts they secretly curse: How can any baby in the world drink milk like this? This must be a monster!
After a while, Gu Qingyan completely absorbed the power of the flames.
Behind her, a pair of phoenix wings vaguely appeared, with firelight flickering at the ends of the wings, as if they were burning.
When Gu Xu saw this scene, he couldn't help but think of the scene last year when Zhao Yan awakened her bloodline in order to get the "Flint Stone" and fought with him with all her strength in the "Dragon Secret Realm". He also remembered that she saw the "Flint Stone" "After being broken, there was a look of loss and helplessness on his face.
He couldn't help but sigh: This little guy Qingyan was really born in Rome! She was born with the strength that her mother had fought so hard for.
…………
After hearing the news of the birth of the emperor's eldest daughter, Daxia's ministers sent congratulations to Gu Xu one after another to congratulate him.
The one who showed the most excitement was naturally the former Duke of Yan, Zhao Changying.
After getting Gu Xu’s permission, he hurried to Changchun Garden to visit his granddaughter.
After seeing Gu Qingyan’s eyes that were very similar to Zhao Yan’s, this tall and burly rough martial artist showed a silly smile on his face.
He carefully held the baby in his arms and coaxed her awkwardly.
When he said, "Qing Yan is such a good boy, he doesn't cry or make trouble, which is much more worry-free than when Yan'er was a child." He was glared at by Zhao Yan next to him.
Before leaving, Zhao Changying made a request to Gu Xu: "Your Majesty, when Qingyan grows up, can I be her master and teach her martial arts?
"The power of her bloodline is even stronger than that of Yan'er in the past. In her hands, many of the Northern Territory's unique skills, such as the 'Liaoyuan Spear', will exert their ultimate power. ”
A strong man from the Eighth Realm True King offered to teach his daughter martial arts, and Gu Xu was naturally happy to do so.
After all, as the king of a country, he was faced with the challenge of There are too many important things to deal with in the Lingxiao world, and it is impossible to stay with my daughter and take good care of her all the time
His eyes fell on Zhao Yan next to him, asking for her opinion.
Zhao Yan thought for a moment and nodded.
She could feel that her father had always felt guilty for not taking good care of her in the past, and now he planned to make up for this guilt on his granddaughter.
This is often how the so-called "cross-generational relationship" comes about.
…………
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Zhao Yan, accompanied by Gu Xu, entered an underground secret room in Changchun Garden.
Gu Xu used the power of "Qiankun" to seal off the space here, completely isolating it from the outside world, forming a nearly independent realm.
At the same time, he used the law of cause and effect to block the prying eyes of all divination spells.
Zhao Yan wore a bloody red dress and sat on the futon in the center of the secret room.
Her skin is whiter than snow, and her eyes are as bright as torches.
"Yan'er, are you ready?" Gu Xu asked standing aside.
Zhao Yan nodded lightly.
But after a brief silence, she looked up at Gu Xu again: "I'm still a little nervous."
She knew that she was promoted to a saint. For Daxia, which lacks top-level combat power today, , is a very important matter.
Therefore, she was also under a lot of pressure.
“Don’t be nervous,” Gu Xu said with a smile, “You have become a saint thousands of years ago. Today, you are just going back to the path you took then.
“Besides, I’m here to accompany you. ”
Hearing his words, Zhao Yan took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.
In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the barren land thousands of years ago, Master Accompanying her, he destroyed all the ghosts that threatened her life while talking and laughing, and then led her step by step on the path of spiritual practice
It seems that as long as she is with her master, she has nothing to fear.
Gu Xu looked at her quietly from the side.
He saw the fiery red lines of the "Holy Fire Totem" on her body being gradually lit up one by one, and saw the beautiful and fiery phoenix wings suddenly unfolding behind her.
Then her whole body burned in flames.
