nativity

Deep in the clouds and mists of Luojia Mountain, surrounded by dense forests, it has always been inaccessible, but a seemingly ordinary village finally ushered in an important moment today.

There was a cry of a baby in the bamboo house, and the high priest of the Zhuanshui clan heaved a sigh of relief. After a brief cleaning, he walked out of the room with a face full of joy, and said to the clansmen who were also anxiously waiting in the lobby: "After many years, The hundred-day baby is born again, God bless my god race!"

Everyone in the clan was very happy to hear the high priest's exclamation, and even the old patriarch, who was dying, was very excited.

The old patriarch shook his old body, stood up from the chair with difficulty, leaned on a dark crutch, staggered but couldn't hide his joy, and a hoarse and vicissitudes voice came out from his throat one after another: "Okay! Okay!"

This generation of hundred-day babies finally came into the world. It has been decades since the last hundred-day baby was born. It has been too long since a hundred-day baby was born in the clan, and it has been too long since the sacred tree and spirit spring have been obtained. The tribe is also worried about the nourishment of Hundred Days Infant's pure spiritual essence. If the vitality of the sacred tree is exhausted and the spiritual spring is exhausted, the inheritance of the Zhuanshui clan may be broken in their generation.

According to the history of the clan, the Zhuanshui clan is one of the descendants of the ancient god clan. It is said that there was a great war in ancient times, and one of the clan hid in the current Luojia Mountain area to avoid disasters. Although the bloodlines of later generations are not pure enough, they are still very different from ordinary people.

Some men in this family have the ability to reproduce, and the vast majority of them have started to practice since childhood, and if the opportunity is sufficient, they can give birth to a "hundred-day baby" with extraordinary ability and outstanding cultivation talent, but the "hundred-day baby" It is not an easy task to have a baby, and the requirements for both parents are extremely strict, and the men in the clan can only give birth to a "hundred-day baby".

Therefore, giving birth to a hundred-day baby is rare, and giving birth to a hundred-day baby is a great blessing.

Yan Yue has just given birth, and giving birth to a child has exhausted his remaining spiritual power. He slightly turned his head to look at his newborn child. He is so small, his brows have not yet been stretched, and his small eyes are slightly closed. with.

This is his and that person's child, but I don't know if they are destined to see each other again. Yan Yue, who was in deep thought, felt a sense of powerlessness attacking his whole body, and slowly closed his tired eyes...

......

When Yan Yue opened his eyes, it was already broad daylight. He looked at the little person sleeping peacefully in the cradle beside the bed, and smiled with his lips curled up.The high priest had been guarding the side room all the time, when he heard the movement, he knew that Yan Yue had woken up, so he walked slowly from the side room to the bed.

"High Priest, you are here." Yan Yue said respectfully, supporting the edge of the bed with both hands, trying to sit up.

"Don't move around. I just gave birth and my body hasn't recovered yet. Take a good rest and just lie down." The high priest frowned when he saw that his face was about to get up, and said quickly.

Seeing that Yan Yue was lying down, the high priest sat on the side of the bed and said slowly: "You have made a great contribution to the birth of the hundred-day baby, and the clansmen are overjoyed."

Yan Yue didn't speak, just smiled, and he could find his cute newborn child with a slight tilt of his head, but the smile was hard to hide between his eyebrows and eyes. Indeed, no matter whether this child was a so-called hundred-day baby or not, Yan Yue, who had just become a father, It must be joyful, and even the pain of just giving birth has been forgotten.

"It's just that this child has a special constitution. I'm here to discuss with you about the baptism of the child. You have to prepare in advance." While speaking, the high priest looked at the sleeping child in the cradle kindly. Very peaceful, small eyes have been tightly closed.

Yan Yue nodded, he had read the historical materials of the clan, and had heard about the baptism of the hundred-day baby. He knew that the birth of the hundred-day baby was always a big deal, and it was a major event that the clan always valued. At special times, the clansmen should pay more attention to it, so no matter how you say it, this baptism is essential.

The 'Hundred Day Baby' has a special physique, and the tribe is also called "Spiritual Baby". It is the son conceived by a man with great opportunity in the tribe.

However, when a man conceives a hundred-day baby, it is different from normal pregnancy. A normal woman’s pregnancy lasts for ten months, but when she conceives a hundred-day baby, the fetus absorbs nutrients from the mother’s body, and the mother’s body uses the automatic operation of spiritual power to conceive and nurture the fetus. Ten days is a week. After ten weeks, a whole hundred days is like giving birth to a baby, so the family calls this kind of child "hundred-day baby".

Of course, although the Zhuanshui clan is strange, and the men who can conceive are also special, but this hundred-day baby is not born at full term like ordinary children. Although it looks no different from ordinary fetuses at birth, sometimes it will not be well raised. They will also die young, so all the hundred-day babies born in the clan have to be conceived in the Lingchi and completed the baptism, so as not to leave obstacles for the children's future growth and cultivation.

"It takes quite a long time for a child to be baptized. During this period, it is best to have both parents guarding around. It's just that you haven't revealed the child's father...Aren't you afraid that the child will ask about it in the future?" the high priest A little embarrassed, the eyes that looked at the child in the cradle also became deep.

Mentioning this matter, Yan Yue's eyes suddenly darkened, and there was a hint of frustration between his brows. He didn't want that person to know that he had a child, but he was afraid that the person would not be able to accept his special physique, and he was even more afraid that he would accept it. I can't have my own child, and I'm afraid that the relatives and people around him will look down on him.

Moreover, since he overheard the conversation between the man and his mother, Yan Yue knew the man's attitude towards him. It turned out that everything was just for fun.Thinking about it, if that person knew that he was pregnant with his child, he would hate himself even more.

So, after that, Yan Yue resolutely left him...

Yan Yue felt a little restless, closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes were a little moist: "I believe that the child and him may have a fate to meet in the future, but now...I don't want him to know."

Because of his special constitution and blood, Riying has a unique connection with his relatives of the same origin, especially when they are not far away, he has a strong relationship with his parents, so it is not surprising that Yan Yue said this.

"Do you want to bear it alone? The child is special, and the clansmen will take care of it more carefully. It's just you, I am worried about your future..." The high priest sighed slightly, looked at the little man in the cradle, This child's physique is really special. Looking at the blue-green gemstone next to him, you can tell that this child was born with wood in the water, and he has a rare dual-system physique.

You must know that anyone in the clan who can practice must have a companion spirit stone at birth. The color of the spirit stone also represents the physique of the tribe. Most tribesmen do not have companion stones and cannot practice. The accompanying stones all belong to a single water type physique, and there is probably no one like this child.

"I don't feel bitter. I've been sad. From the moment I left, I've figured it out, and I've thought about my future life. I won't regret it." Yan Yue straightened his face and said firmly, his eyes Floating towards the child in the basket again, his face softened a lot, "Besides, I won't feel alone if I have a child with me in the future. I just want to raise the child here and watch him grow up. I am satisfied."

"That's fine, as long as you understand yourself, this child, we will do our best to raise him up." The high priest looked at the little man in the cradle, and his eyes gradually lost focus, as if he was worried about him again. What is the child's future plan.

The high priest was contemplating, when he suddenly noticed something: "I haven't given the child a name yet, look at me, is it true that the older I get, the more confused I am?"

Yan Yueying smiled, even though his face was pale, he couldn't hide his admiration: "It's not too late, but, High Priest, I have a request."

"A request? Just say it! The clan will try its best to satisfy you!" The high priest was puzzled, thinking that Yan Yue would use the birth of a hundred-day baby to ask for something or achieve some purpose from the clan.

"High Priest, you misunderstood. Yan Yue is not a greedy person. What I asked for was to name the child." Yan Yue looked at the slightly pensive expression of the High Priest, as if he had guessed what was in his heart. Thinking, continued, "This is my first child, and I'm afraid it will also be the last one. I wonder if I can name him myself?"

The names of important people in the clan are usually chosen by the patriarch, the high priest and other respected people, so it will appear that the child is valued by the clan, because Yan Yue has already prepared a name for the child before he made this request.

"So it's just because of this. You are the one who conceived him. It's not a big deal to name the child. Many people in the clan come to bother me because of troubles in choosing names." The high priest smiled, knowing that Yan Yue had been in the clan for so many years. Although he has never made any great contributions, he is very upright and not a treacherous person, he smiled at Yan Yue and asked, "What kind of name did you choose for the child?

"The child carries wood in the water, so his surname Yan, I got the word Mu. I just hope the child grows up safely and fulfills his mission in the future, so I got the name Mu Fan for him!" Yan Yue looked at the cute girl in the cradle fondly. The little man, the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

The Zhuanshui clan inherits the traditions of the clan. Everyone in the clan has the surname Zhuanshui, like Yan Yue, who is actually called Zhuanshui Yanyue, just to cover up his identity, and is only called by his first name, so Mu Fan’s full name is Zhuanshui Mufan , except for the surname, they are all called Mu Fan outside.

The so-called extended surname is the surname attached to the name of the outside world, which can be chosen by the parents or freely according to the preferences.

The high priest stroked his beard and pondered for a while: "Alright, Mu Fan, Xiao Fan, it's a good name!"

Yan Yue stretched out his hand to tease Mu Fan in the cradle, and said dotingly: "Our Xiao Fan has a name, does Xiao Fan like it?" Yan Yue smiled, he actually didn't want the child to have any great achievements in the future, He just hopes that Xiaofan can live a safe life, be able to be with the person he likes for a lifetime, and not be lonely like him, even if he lives an ordinary life, as long as he lives happily is enough.
