When Taitish and Hu Qingyang heard this, they nodded in unison and said,""So this is how the Dragon Slaying Saber and Heavenly Sword came about!”
Ling Yihan continued." When forging the sword, Heroine Huang Rong forged two more pieces of black iron. One was engraved with the name of the island with the hidden treasure, and the other was engraved with a map of the distribution of the traps on the island. Then, she hid the two pieces of black iron into the sword. Because the soft iron hidden in the black iron pieces was about seven inches away from the hilt of the sword, even if they were used to slash the enemy, the soft iron would not be touched.”
Taitish nodded and said,"So that's how it is. No wonder Big Brother Ling used your sword to slice Heavenly Sword open just now. I thought you were testing your sword! When I saw Heavenly Sword being sliced open, I thought it was fake!”
Hu Qingyang also nodded in agreement,""Yeah, I saw you do that just now and thought the same. I didn't expect there to be so much to it!”
Ling Yihan continued," After the swords were forged, Huang Rong gave Heavenly Sword to her youngest daughter, Guo Xiang, who was the founder of the Emei Faction. The Dragon Slaying Saber was given to her eldest son, Guo Polu. Guo Polu and Guo Xiang had an elder sister called Guo Fu. Because she was reckless and impulsive, Guo Jing and Huang Rong did not pass the sword to her.”
Taitish was puzzled." Since Guo Jing and Huang Rong intended to pass down the secret books of war to future generations, why didn't they just give the map to their children? Why did they hide the map in their swords and sabers? Why did they go around in circles?"”
Hu Qingyang also nodded. He didn't understand what they were doing.
Ling Yihan slowly explained to them,""Because they felt that once the military books and secret manuals were born too early, it would not be the best time to expel the Yuan soldiers. If the evil people got the military books and secret manuals, it would be even worse, and it would be even more difficult to realize the dream of restoring the Han Dynasty.”
Hu Qingyang suddenly understood and asked curiously,""So that's what happened. It's just that no one has discovered the secret for so many years.”
Ling Yihan had already prepared an excuse."Because my ancestor had a personal relationship with Guo Polu. Before Guo Polu died, he told my ancestor the secret of the sword. In addition to me, there are also the leaders of the Emei Sect and the descendants of the Ancient Tomb Sect's Divine Condor Swordsman who know the secrets of the sword. Err…there was one more person who might know, and that was the divine monk Kong Jian from Shaolin.”
In the original novel, Kong Jian was schemed against by Cheng Kun. Before he died, he told Xie Xun to find the Dragon Slaying Saber and find the secret to take revenge. However, whether he really knew the secret of the sword or not was unknown.
"I didn't think that there would be so many bizarre secrets in the Dragon Saber and Heavenly Sword. If it wasn't for Brother Ling telling us personally and seeing it with our own eyes, I'm afraid that we would never know the secrets within.”Hu Qingyang couldn't help but sigh after hearing so much.
Taitish looked at the map carved on the piece of black iron and frowned.""Right now, we only have the map of the mechanism, but we don't know which island it is on. It seems that we still have to find a way to get the Dragon Slaying Saber from the residence of Bayan.”
When Ling Yihan heard this, he shook his head and smiled.""If you want to obtain the military books and secret manuals, just the map on this piece of black iron is enough! There was no need to waste time and risk it to get the Dragon Slaying Saber.”
"Brother Ling, do you already know which island it is?" Hu Qingyang asked curiously.”
Ling Yihan looked at her and smiled mysteriously.""Actually, it's not hard to guess if you think about it carefully. Since Huang Rong was the one who thought of hiding the secret art of war into the sword, do you know her background?”
Hu Qingyang thought for a moment and replied," I heard from the Three Guardian Kings and the Light Envoy that the father of this Heroine Huang Rong is the Eastern Evil Medicine Master Huang, one of the Five Uniques of the Central Plains. He lives on the Peach Blossom Island…Could it be…"
"That's right. The location of the treasure is Peach Blossom Island, which is near the east of Pudu Mountain.”Ling Yihan nodded and smiled.""Originally, I guessed that it was on this island. Now that I've seen the map on this piece of black iron, I'm even more certain.”
"In that case, should we go straight to the Peach Blossom Island instead of looking for the Dragon Slaying Saber?”Taitish asked.
Ling Yihan nodded." Yes. The Dragon Slaying Saber isn't very important to me now. We'll leave the capital tomorrow and go to Pudu Mountain to find the location of Peach Blossom Island."”
Hu Qingyang and Taitish nodded and listened to his arrangement.
"Also, Big Brother Ling, I want to ask you a question. For the past few decades, martial artists from all walks of life have been fighting for the Dragon Saber and Heavenly Sword. Why are you willing to tell us the secret of the saber? Actually, we all know that with your ability, you can completely obtain the sword and find the location of the treasure.”Hu Qingyang mustered up his courage and asked the question in his heart.
Taitish had the same thought. She looked at Ling Yihan, wanting to know how he would answer.
When Ling Yihan heard this, he was stunned for a moment but quickly regained his composure. He smiled and said,"So what if I tell you? Don't think too much. It's getting late. Rest early. You still have to wake up early tomorrow!”
With that, he turned around and left the room.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of seizing Heavenly Sword at Ruyang Mansion. You have received the mission reward, the martial arts secret manual, Lotus Treasure Mirror.”As soon as he returned to his room, the system issued a notification that the mission was completed.
Ling Yihan took out the Treasure Book of Compassion and used the Memory Bead in his body to memorize the contents of the manual before hiding it in his storage ring.
He did not plan to give the Treasure Book of Compassion to Hu Qingyang for the time being. He would take the opportunity to give the secret manual to her when he had the chance to go to the palace in the future.
The next day, after Ling Yihan left the inn with Taitish and Hu Qingyang, he realized that there were notices posted all over the streets, asking for his and Taitish's arrest. Without a doubt, Ruyang Prince Chahantemur must have posted a bounty on them because Ling Yihan had stolen Heavenly Sword last night.
However, it just so happened that Ling Yihan had learned the disguise technique from the " Treasure Book of Lian Hua ". He disguised himself, Taitish, and Hu Qingyang and left Dadu City easily.
Ling Yihan bought another large carriage. After asking around, he finally brought Taitish and Hu Qingyang to the foot of Pudu Mountain.
Pudu Mountain was easy to find, but Peach Blossom Island was hard to find. Otherwise, the secret of the island would have been discovered by others.
The three of them spent more than a month and finally found out the whereabouts of Peach Blossom Island. In the end, Ling Yihan bought a big ship and hired a few sailors to prepare to set off for Peach Blossom Island.
