Chapter 113 Emperor Wu’s Mixed Blood and Jie Shuang’s Thoughts

Yu Cang did not accept Jiang Ya's duel request.

Not to mention that there is no suitable duel here. As the target of being "competed", Gu Jieshuang could not watch Jiang Ya make a fuss.

She first gave Yu Cang apologetically, and then pulled Jiang Ya into an alley beside her. She didn't hear any sounds coming from it. When the two of them came back, Yu Cang saw Jiang Ya standing behind Gu Jieshuang with tears in her eyes, looking very aggrieved.

But it also became quiet.

After Lin Yunqing also came back, Gu Jieshuang brought everyone to her home.

This is a two-story bungalow with a small yard. Yu Cang followed Gu Jieshuang to push the door open. As soon as he entered the house, he suddenly felt cold all over.

The temperature inside is much lower than outside.

Yu Cang and the others were fine, after all, they were soul card masters, but Qi Er, who had a poor ability to withstand, shivered on the spot and picked up her body.

Yu Cang was a little confused.

This air conditioner is a bit over-opened.

"Xie Shuang, you're back."

A gentle female voice came from the upper floor, and then a middle-aged woman slowly walked down from the upper floor.

She was wearing very simple clothes, with few wrinkles on her face, but they were all very deep. She obviously looked not too old, but she was already covered in silver hair.

The woman's face was a little pale, and she seemed to be in poor health.

"Mom! Let me introduce you." Gu Jieshuang came to Gu Zhihan's side, "This is what I told you, Jiang Ya who wants to come back with me..."

"Hello Auntie! I..." Jiang Ya was a little more energetic. Just as she was about to show off her, Gu Jieshuang interrupted her mercilessly.

"This! I am my boss... Of course, I am also my senior now."

"It's Yu Cang." Gu Zhihan smiled, "I heard Jie Shuang mention you many times. Please take care of this child."

"Hello, Auntie." Yu Cang smiled, "I didn't do anything either."

"And she is also named Yu Qier, the boss's sister, and the last one is named Lin Yunqing, my classmate... The boss came here with the army because he was busy with major military reforms. Please ask my mother to help arrange accommodation..."

Hearing this, Gu Zhihan's eyes seemed to lit up, and there was a little more appreciation in his eyes looking at Yu Cang.

She said, "Welcome... Everyone just thinks it's at their own house and just sit there. Cheshuang, you can play with your friends first, I'll prepare lunch."

After saying that, she smiled and turned to the stairs.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after she went upstairs, the temperature in the air suddenly became much more normal.

"Wait a minute, I'll turn on the air conditioner." Gu Jieshuang took everyone to the living room and turned to another room.

Yu Cang's brows rose.

Not turning on the air conditioner? Then why is it so cold? Is it...

Yu Cang tried to extract the entries of the house, and to his surprise, a countdown of six hours appeared on it.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Cang canceled the extraction.

After all, it is rare to follow the army into the different space in the afternoon, so he plans to extract it again at that time.

As for this place, let’s talk about it when you come out of the different space.

Nothing commendable happened in the following time. After everyone had lunch normally, they divided the rooms and began to wait for the opening of the military camp in the afternoon.

At this time, Gu Jieshuang suddenly found Yu Cang.

"Boss." Gu Jieshuang poked his head out of the door of the house, "Come out for a walk? I'll take you around nearby."

Before Yu Cang could react, Qi'er hugged his arm first and looked at him with begging eyes: "Brother, go out for a walk... It's so boring here."

"Then... OK." Yu Cang smiled.

Many sycamore trees were planted on both sides of the road in Wuling Village. As autumn approached, the leaves of the trees had begun to wither and yellow. It happened that it had rained a few days ago, and countless leaves fell on the ground, which changed the ground to a different color.

Qi'er was still holding the hands of the two, looking at the road without blinking, as if she was deliberately selecting the complete leaves of the sycamore tree to fall.

Of course, outside of this, Qi'er's attention has always been focused on the conversation between Cang and Gu Jieshuang, silently eavesdropping.

"Speaking of it," Yu Cang said, "How many days will you have before the Fire Festival? Where did you get the holiday?"

"I'm back early. When the Fire Rising Festival is over, the road will be difficult to walk." Gu Jieshuang walked while massaging Qi'er's little hands. "Because there is no classes anymore, and the boss is not here, the school is a little bored, so she went home early."

"Well... I didn't expect that I could still meet you even after I walked so far with the army."

"I'm also very surprised." Gu Jieshuang raised her head, looked at Yu Cang's side face, and laughed a few times, "Boss, I haven't told you about my family affairs yet, right?"

"It's true, let's hear it?"

"Actually, I'm pretty big! Boss, don't be scared by me." Gu Jieshuang put her hips on her hips, as if she was very proud, "Let's go, I'll take you to a place."

Step, step...

After passing through an alley full of sycamore leaves, turning a corner, the eyes suddenly opened up, and an ancient temple with mottled walls entered Yu Cang's vision.

An old man was wearing a straw raincoat and sweeping away the fallen leaves stained with dew on the stone steps. An ancient fragrance wafted from the air, making Yu Cang feel much quieter.

He raised his head and looked at the plaque under the eaves.

"Wu Emperor Temple?"

"yes."

Gu Jieshuang took the two into the temple, and Qi'er pouted.

The leaves here were swept away, and she had no choice but to step on them!

If you don’t step on the leaves, you will die... Fortunately, you still have many lives, well... Let’s pause first.

When I walked into the temple, a tall statue came into sight. Yu Cang was very familiar with this statue. I had seen it in the history textbooks countless times - it was the myth that had been expeditioning three thousand miles with a sword more than two thousand years ago: Emperor Wu.

Combined with Gu Jieshuang's previous words, Yu Cang raised his eyebrows, as if he had guessed something, and said, "You won't say that you are the descendant of Emperor Wu, are you?"

"Uh... that's not." Gu Jieshuang scratched his side face with his fingers, "But it's also related to Emperor Wu. Boss, have you heard of Xuan Huangwei?"

"Well, I heard that it was Emperor Wu's personal soldiers, but Emperor Wu regarded it as an expeditionary force. Xuan Huangwei has been fighting abroad since its establishment and has almost never stopped."

"That's right." Gu Jieshuang nodded and looked at Emperor Wu who was standing on the stage. "My ancestor is a general of Xuan Huangwei."

"Is that right?" Yu Cang looked at Gu Jieshuang, "I heard that in order to drive the wild beast out of the Wu Dynasty, Xuan Huangwei fought everywhere, and the average military service in the team was less than a year... Jieshuang, you are considered a descendant of a hero."

"Well... From childhood to adulthood, my mother and elders have told me this, saying that I am a descendant of Xuan Huangwei and cannot let their name down." Gu Jieshuang had a smile on her face, but her tone gradually became complicated, "But... Now, the name of Xuan Huangwei has long become a string of words in history books. Even if it is on us, there are more shackles than honors."

"……What's the meaning?"

"You may not know." Gu Jieshuang sighed softly, "Everyone of Xuan Huangwei was personally selected by Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu has only one standard - that is, the mixed blood of humans and beasts!"

"Mixed Race?"

"Yes... a long time ago, spiritual beasts were the masters of this world. They were powerful and free, stretching their bodies in the world, but humans could only lie dormant in the corners and survive under the wings of some spiritual beasts until the wild beasts appeared in this world.

"After Emperor Ancestral Dragon opened up the real dragon death land, Emperor Wu emerged. He wanted to drive all the wild beasts out of this land, but he could not do it with his own myth. So he thought that the spirit beasts were powerful but would be infected by the wild beasts, but people did not have this concern. So, as long as they formed an army composed of mixed blood of humans and beasts, wouldn't they be invincible in the world?

"So, Emperor Wu summoned all the mixed blood in the world and formed this Xuan Huang Guard. After the expedition began, the Xuan Huang Guard was seriously injured. Emperor Wu then ordered to encourage intermarriage with the spirit beasts - at that time, the surviving spirit beasts could only rely on us to survive and could not resist Emperor Wu's orders." Gu Jieshuang turned his head and looked at Yu Cang with Yingying's smile, "I am too... a mixed blood of humans and beasts."

Yu Cang was silent and didn't say anything.

He had long guessed about this.

After all, his first legacy entry [Bloodline: Wings of Frost] was obtained from Gu Jieshuang.

But at that time, he didn't know what this meant.

"It sounds like Emperor Wu's approach is very successful." Yu Cang hesitated, "But... depending on what you mean, is this mixed-blood constitution of this man and beast? Is it very bad for you now?"

"It's not bad." Gu Jieshuang turned around and came to Yu Cang. "The mixed blood of humans and animals will make our meditation speed very fast. As long as the deck is selected properly, the combat power will be much higher than that of the same level. However, the price is - our lifespan will be very short. I have no complaints about this. There are pros and cons. I have enjoyed the benefits and should pay the price."

"Life life..." Yu Cang's eyes moved slightly, as if he realized something.

In Wuling Village... it seems that I have never seen an old man.

The only one is the old man who swept the floor just now at the entrance of the temple.

Gu Jieshuang continued: "My father died when I was very young, so did my other relatives. Now, only my mother is still alive, but the blood conflict in her body caused her to suffer from Gu's dethermosis - this incurable disease even named after us, will cause people's body temperature to irresistibly lose. In the late stage, it will even affect the surrounding environment, and finally die irreversibly in the extreme cold."

"Sister..." Qi'er held Gu Jieshuang's hand with both hands, and her tone was very distressed.

"I'm fine, Qi'er, I can live for a long time." Gu Jieshuang touched the girl's head, "My mother is only forty-two, but she is already covered in white hair - in fact, her mother has long lived in the village, and more people, even if they can't live for twenty-five, will end their lives."

Yu Cang was silent: "...Is there no treatment?"

"No...at least not yet." Gu Jieshuang paused, "But I heard that during the Emperor Wu's era, mixed blood of humans and beasts was not like this. Our ancestors, Gu Qianshan, one of the commanders of the Xuanhuang Guard, seemed to have lived to the end without illness or disaster. However, after Emperor Wu's death, something seemed to be lost, which led to the mixed blood becoming what it is now."

"Are there any clues? I might be able to find it."

"Thank you, boss~ But it's impossible." Gu Jieshuang sighed, "This is just a guess. It's all about whether the lost thing exists or not... Moreover, I'm not dissatisfied with what I am now. After all, this bloodline has indeed made me the best among my peers."

Gu Jieshuang tied a strand of hair behind her ears and a smile appeared on her face.

"I haven't finished talking yet... Didn't the history textbook say that after Emperor Zulong's death, the Youhuang Heavenly Realm was broken, and countless fragments of alien space were scattered in the territory of Yan Kingdom. After Emperor Wu drove all the wild beasts out, he disbanded Xuanhuang Guards and ordered them to retreat to the mountains and forests, keeping them under the nearby space fragments, and preventing the wild beasts from coming out to harm the world... This is the origin of Wuling Village.
