Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 423 Rhythm
  However, even the military god Li Mu, who had defeated a hundred thousand wolves, had to admit that with Gu Xun's strength, he did have the confidence to be arrogant.

Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. The army is as powerful as the army, and the Jianghu people are also as difficult as the Jianghu people. Even if there is an army of 100,000, it will be difficult to deal with such a master who comes and goes freely and has no worries.

After suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Li Mu stopped asking Gu Xun why he wanted to find information about a surname. He didn't care about this. It was unlikely to be related to Zhao Guo anyway.

"The surname Feng... this surname is very ancient. I have seen something about it in ancient books."

"General, please speak." Gu Xun's eyes lit up, it really took no effort at all.

Sure enough, it is very important to have an elder in the family. This old man is only about fifty years old at most, so he knows a lot.

Li Mu thought for a while and said:
  "The surname Feng is said to originate from the Suiren family of Suihuang who drilled wood to make fire in ancient times. Later, it was passed down to the Fuxi family of Xihuang, the first of the three emperors and the first of a hundred kings."

"Huang Xi's surname was the one used to control marriages. From then on, the surnames of the Xia Dynasty evolved. Therefore, the surname Feng is considered the ancestor of all surnames."

"Fuxi?" Gu Xun was a little surprised at first. It turned out that the three ancient emperors still had surnames!

Li Mu glanced at him, ignored his surprise, and continued:

"Although the Feng surname is the ancestor of all surnames, it has been passed down through generations. There are few pure descendants of the Feng surname in the world. As far as I know, the last relatively well-known person with the Feng surname was Feng, who served under the Yellow Emperor in the past. It’s over.”

"The Great Zhou dynasty seemed to have entrusted vassal states with the surname Feng, but... perhaps it perished early, and it was a small country. I don't know for sure."

Gu Xun didn't care about what Li Mu said about being rare. No matter how rare it was, Concubine Yan must be a pure descendant of the Feng family... So, if you can know such things, how much did Gui Guzi hide? You shouldn't let Wei Zhuang go so easily because of his reputation!
  And the Fuxi family... Gu Xun searched through the knowledge inventory in his mind and found that the only knowledge he knew about Fuxi seemed to be... Bagua, Nuwa, Orthopedics... Bah, stop it, if you think about it anymore, it will become Bagua. .

"General, can you tell me more about the Fuxi clan?" If you don't know, you have to ask someone who knows. Gu Xun asked him casually.

Li Mu did not refuse. He stroked his beard and muttered, "Fuxi clan..."

"This is the co-leader of the human race in ancient times. There is very little information handed down. I am a military commander and I don't know much about him, so I will tell you briefly."

"He is the son of Sui Emperor, the humanistic ancestor of our Xia Dynasty. He has the correct surname, arranges marriages, creates Bagua, teaches fishing and hunting, and makes Xunse... Because of all these achievements, among the three emperors and five emperors in the lineage, he is revered as the Three Emperors. The first of all, the first of a hundred kings.”

Among this list of achievements, Gu Xun is most concerned about - making Xunse.

These two... seem to be musical instruments, right?
  "General, you said that Fuxi made Xunse, does that mean he pioneered the way of music?"

"Uh..." Li Mu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Gu Xun's focus to be so special, and then nodded, but then added, "This is a legend. As for whether it is true or not, it cannot be tested. Fuxi's generation is too far away from the present, perhaps tens of thousands of years old, and many things are like myths and legends, and their credibility is questionable."

Gu Xun didn't bother to think about whether there was doubt or not. Since there was such a statement, there was some basis for it and he could believe it in part.

So... Yan Fei's bloodline can run the Phantom Sound Box, is it because her ancestors have such a bloodline?
  Gu Xun felt that this guess was not reliable. Although it seemed to be close to the mark, it was a bit farfetched and seemed to be a little off...

"Where did the five tones of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu first come from?" Unable to figure out Concubine Yan's question, Gu Xun could only try to figure it out from other places, so he continued to ask.

He remembered that when he was watching anime ten years ago, Gao Yue solved the Mo family's secrets and seemed to rely on these five tones to open the phantom sound treasure box. He was right to ask.

???

There are more and more question marks on Li Mu's head.

He has never seen anything like strong winds and waves in these years, but Gu Xun... is really confusing.

You are a national preceptor, a part-time teacher, and a part-time doctor by the way. What do you mean by asking about musicians? Li Mu really couldn’t figure it out. What was the point of asking about these long-standing legends?
  If you don't understand, you still have to answer questions. Li Mu is also glad that all Gu Xun asks are such worthless questions.

"As for the five tones, the earliest birth, I remember, can be traced back to Ling Lun, the music official next to the Yellow Emperor."

Huangdi's music officer? Huangdi’s surname is Ji...

Gu Xun frowned. It seemed that the connection was closer, but subconsciously he still felt that something else had been missed.

It's really strange, why do I always have this sixth sense... What is this, the connection between heaven and man?
  Gu Xun wondered if it was because he practiced astrology...

"Mr. Gu, is there anything else you want to ask?" Seeing that Gu Xun had not spoken for a long time, Li Mu took the initiative to remind him.

"Uh..." Stirred by the voice, Gu Xun came to his senses and hurriedly replied, "I don't have anything to ask at the moment."

"I would also like to thank you, General, for your generous explanation." After saying that, Gu Xun clasped his hands and bowed meaningfully.

"Haha, it would be great if I could help Mr. Gu." Li Mulang laughed twice, stroking his beard with some meaning and said, "I hope Mr. Gu has a good time in Handan City."

"Haha." Gu Xun gave him a smile.

Why don't you just tell me not to run to the royal city?
  "By the way, finally, I would like to trouble General to help Gu search for the records and books that record what I asked today." Gu Xun made the last request, and then he finished his words and stood up.

Li Mu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Of course it's no problem. I will send someone to Mr. Gu's place later."

"Then I'll thank you again, General." Gu Xun cupped his hand again, then left.

After Gu Xun left, Li Mu took a long and slow breath, "Huh..."

Then he sat in his position and did not move for a long time, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, a middle-aged man in military uniform who looked a little younger than Li Mu walked into the side hall.

This man raised his fist at Li Mu and shouted solemnly, "General."

The voice interrupted Li Mu's contemplation, and he raised his head to look at the person, "Ah, you're back."

This man is Li Mu's deputy, Sima Shang. He is one of the few people in Zhao who can fight, and it is very rare to be one of the most outstanding military officers in martial arts.

With his ability, he could have led the army alone, but because of his personality, he did not want to pay attention to the affairs of the court, so he simply became a lieutenant with peace of mind and helped Li Mu resist the wolves.

He was Li Mu's most capable right-hand man, and he was supposed to stay in the north to temporarily lead the army in Li Mu's place, but he was also worried about something unexpected happening to Li Mu, so he insisted on following him back.

　There will be two more chapters later.

　　It was said that Fairy Sword No. 15 can be played, but I almost forgot about it, and I don’t know when the gift box will be sent.

　　I still have an extra activation code in my hand. Do any of you want to play?
