Chapter 149 - ⑤ Lone Star Falls
Chapter Zero——⑤ Lone Star Falls
Legend has it that there is a fate called "Lonely Star Falling Fate", that is to say: a person with such a fate is doomed to kill all other people who treat him well, and will end up alone and alone for the rest of his life.

The beginning of this story has to start from an earlier time.That was a period of time older than the "Seven Towns Rebellion" ten years ago, that is, a few decades ago, something happened that was enough to shake the world and established the current pattern of the entire world.

After nearly half a century of precipitation, anyone's deeds will be called legends by the world.Of course, this will have to be told by someone decades later.

It was in the home of a well-known official and military household in Huaishuo Town, one of the seven northern towns.On this day, the Patriarch Gao Luo and his confidantes were having a drink together in the high mansion under the moonlit night, observing the sky and predicting fate, and the rare "lone star falling to the ground" astrology happened at the same time on this day.

That night was not peaceful at all, because Mrs. Gao was about to give birth, and the whole house was very busy with this matter.

The child has been raging in the mother's belly for a day and a night. The severe pain made Mrs. Gao almost collapse. If there were not a dozen servants who took care of her wholeheartedly, she might have passed out long ago.

Therefore, Gao Luoku, who seemed to have nothing to do, sat under the eaves and felt restless.

After all, this is Mrs. Gao's second child. If she can't give birth to a boy, she might not be able to give birth to a third child in the current situation.With such concerns, Gao Luo told the confidants beside him.

The confidant wears a Taoist costume and calls himself Li Banxian.I saw that he kept looking up at the changes in the sky, and said: "This fetus is extraordinary, this is the destiny of heaven. If it can be born safely, it will definitely be a person who can achieve great things!"

After hearing this, Gao Luo couldn't help sighing as he watched the servants coming and going and the huge family property.

This house has carried the foundation of the Gao family for several generations. If there are no descendants to inherit and develop it, it can be said to be unfaithful and unfilial. Such acts of violating the ancestors are something that Gao Luo absolutely does not want to happen.

At first, the ancestors of the Gao family got into a lawsuit for committing a crime, and the emperor of Yuan Wei was dispatched from Bohai to Saibei.It's just that they have achieved another career in this barren land by relying on the prestige of the famous family and the sky-high wealth.

Set up troops here to raise soldiers, pay tribute every year, and fight against the Hu people who invaded from the north for the imperial court; secretly formed a party for personal gain, and took advantage of the convenience of "far away from the court and near the rivers and lakes", covering the sky in this frontier town with one hand.

Coupled with the sharp increase in military rations and taxes that must be paid every year, the people in Beizhen are complaining.In this way, it is necessary to fight against the barbarians and support the court, which makes the relationship between Beizhen and the Yuan and Wei courts more and more complicated.Therefore, the Gao family, who worked hard to govern, is more and more like the "wild emperor" of Huaishuo Town.

Therefore, after Mrs. Gao's first daughter, Gao Luo, who desperately wanted to get a son to inherit the family business, naturally paid more attention to the result of this October pregnancy than anyone else.

Hearing Mrs. Gao's groans in the cubicle, Gao Luo couldn't help asking Li Banxian next to him: "Banxian, is there anything unusual about watching the sky tonight?"

Gao Luo, who was eager to get an answer, looked at the other party and pondered for a long time.At this time, the eldest lady Gao Xijun brought two cups of tea to relieve boredom.She was not as old as the main character, but she was born juicy, and compared to children of the same age, she was also very virtuous and well-behaved.

It's a pity that her father didn't have time to take care of such trivial matters at this time, so she threw down the tea bowl and left quickly.

After a while, Li Banxian finally stopped meditating, and replied: "Looking at the stars in the sky is healthy and prosperous, and hearing the chirping of sparrows and insects, this is a sign of auspiciousness. If Madam gives birth to a man, then he must be a hero in the future; If Madam gives birth to a daughter, she must be very handsome and talented."

"Okay...okay!" Gao Luo's frowning brows finally eased for a moment, and then he bowed respectfully and said, "It's just that I'm not talented, I haven't thought of what name I want to take, I hope you can enlighten me."

As soon as the words fell, intermittent baby cries came from the cubicle, and the little maid who delivered the baby ran out immediately, and said with great joy, "My lord, the madam gave birth successfully, it's a young master!"

This kind of great joy made Gao Luo, who was already feeling happy, even more excited, and immediately made a gesture to go to the delivery room to have a look at the appearance of the child and his wife.

Unexpectedly, Li Banxian's face suddenly froze, he stopped being glib, and just pointed at the sky in fear.

"Lord Gao, look at the stars in the north!" Li Banxian pointed to the meteor that fell in the sky at an extremely fast speed.I saw that unnamed star falling towards the farther north at a speed visible to the naked eye, "This is the sign of a 'lone star falling', and it is a sign of great evil! I am afraid that the eldest son..."

After Gao Luo heard it, he felt a kind of unreasonable fear instantly spread all over his body.The sparrows and insects from just now blended together, and Fuying Tianxing seemed to have disappeared after this moment.

"Then, what should I do?"

I saw Li Banxian tapped the water in the tea bowl in front of him with his fingers, hurriedly wrote the word "excessive" on the table, and then whispered: "Your Excellency, you should be careful, this lonely star will be given to his friends around him." Relatives and friends brought disaster! It is named after the character 'Zuo', which is to tell the heaven that this son is a burden of Gao's family, and maybe this disaster can be avoided! When the eldest son comes of age, he will give the character "Zheng" Its name, what do adults think?"

"Trouble?" Gao Luo replied: "If this method is useless, I'm afraid the child will blame him in the future..."

"If something bad happens to the family before the young master reaches adulthood, you can send the young master to the Taoist temple of your family teacher for foster care, and let him come back to inherit the ancestral business after he becomes an adult. I believe the eldest son will understand in the future..."

Since then, a man named Gao Zhu was born in this land that was destined not to belong to him.

After giving birth that night, Mrs. Gao's health became weak, and she passed away not long after.However, something even more tragic happened in the few days after Mrs. Gao passed away.

One day, Xijun, the eldest daughter of the Gao family who doted on her younger brother very much, was playing with Gao Zhu in her garden as usual, muttering from time to time: "Zhuer, Zhuer, my sister gave you delicious food!" It's fun, don't be naughty..." Such kind words.

It's just that the good times didn't last long. The loquat tree that had been planted in the courtyard for a long time unexpectedly fell down suddenly due to the sudden strong wind, hitting the Gao family sisters who were resting under the tree to enjoy the shade!

In order to protect her younger brother's safety, her elder sister Gao Xijun broke her legs and has to rely on a wheeled cart to move around.And the younger brother Gao Zhu once again fulfilled Li Banxian's prophecy that "the lonely star will die".

Seeing this situation, Gao Luo felt helpless.The tragic events that have happened in the past few days have exhausted him physically and mentally, so he has no time to think.

Therefore, Gao Luo had no choice but to accept Li Banxian's proposal, and sent Gao Zhu, son of the Gao family, to the Kunlun Mountain Spirit Snake Temple to practice in the south, just to change his fate against the sky.
