Chapter 14
" It's recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that there was an ancient strange beast named Ao,Yin. It lived in the Netherworld and ate living things. It loved to eat people and suck blood. It loved to bring disaster to the world. Later, it was imprisoned in Penglai Immortal Island by an ancient mighty person with an array. It could not be seen day and night. Lord Wu An, am I right?”
In the central army tent, Yu Lan looked at the unconscious Yun Zong lying on the bed and asked a man who was staring at the brazier with his hands behind his back.
"The Yin-Yang School is extremely proficient in the principles of Yin and Yang in algebra. However, he did not expect that he was also proficient in myths and legends.”
As he spoke, he turned around, revealing an old, calm face with some scars on it.
Based on the way Yu Lan addressed him just now, the identity of the person in front of him was obvious.
The Great Qin Dynasty's military god, Wu 'an Jun Tu Baiqi.
"Lord Wu 'an, you flatter me. I merely enjoy reading some myths and legends in my free time for fun.”
As Yu Lan spoke, she focused her gaze on the mottled bronze sword on the table in front of her.
"Then…this sword…"
"Yun Zong joined the army at the age of fifteen. At the age of sixteen, he became my personal guard and served as a commandant in my tent. One day, when we were sweeping through Dharma Cloud City, we came across a Daoist temple. The Taoist temple had clay statues of the Six Ding and Six Jia, as well as murals of the Ten Halls of Yama. It also had the place of reincarnation of the Infinite Hell. Ordinary soldiers felt uneasy when they entered the Taoist temple and went into the main hall like crazy demons. However, Yun Zong thought that someone was using poison to cause trouble. After leading his troops, he had just stepped into the entrance of the Taoist temple when a broken ancient sword flew out from the main hall of the Taoist temple and stabbed in front of him…"
Hearing the old man's words, Yu Lan's face was filled with doubt."
"Broken ancient sword?"
"That's right. After the sword sank two inches into the bluestone tiles, all the soldiers fell unconscious, and the other soldiers no longer felt uneasy. "However, for some reason, no one can pull out the broken ancient sword. Only Yun Zong can easily pick it up…"
"This is the sword?"
Yu Lan looked at the gap on the blade and nodded secretly.
"It does look quite broken."
"No. This sword was even more broken than this, but it was exceptionally sharp and could not break anything. Yun Zong used it well and used it as a weapon. Then, after one battle, Yun Zong beheaded seventeen enemies, and a trace of rust fell off the sword…"
Bai Qi did not continue, but Yu Lan understood what he meant. She could not help but ask,
"A trace?"
"A trace. About the thickness of a hair."
"In other words…"
Yu Lan lowered her gaze and looked at the ordinary-looking ancient greenish-bronze sword.
"Hmm, you guessed right. This sword was indeed as ruthless as the Mountain and Sea Scripture. The more it absorbed, the tougher and sharper it became. Tong Ci's skin was made of copper and his bones were made of iron. In front of this sword, he was like cotton.”
"Then what happened to the lieutenant's hand?”
Hearing Yu Lan's question, Baiqi shook his head,
"I don't know."
" You don't know?..."
"He went to the Breaking Ranks Camp when he was seventeen. I only met him a few times in these few years. He never told me, and I never asked.”
Bai Qi seemed to feel a little regretful, and his aged face was filled with complicated emotions. He walked to the table, picked up the sword, and looked at it for a moment before casually putting it down.
"Tell me, who are those people? I want to see who has the guts to injure my soldiers in the Great Qin Empire!“
In an instant, Yu Lan only felt the stench of blood filling her mouth and nose, and she almost wanted to vomit.
She glanced at the old man with a calm gaze. There was no trace of indulgence on her face. She lowered her hands and said respectfully,
"Gao Jianli, the outstanding young man of the Mo Family, Big Iron Hammer, Pao Ding, and Master Commander Ban of the Forging Department.”
"The Mo Family…"
The old man pondered for a moment before continuing to ask,"
"Before you left, did the Eastern Emperor give you any instructions?”
"No, only Lord of the East Yan Fei asked me to give this to you personally when Lord Wu An arrives.”
As Yu Lan spoke, she flipped her hand and a bundle of silk scrolls appeared, handing it over to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi opened it and took a look before casually throwing it into the brazier.
He didn't say anything and just stared at the unconscious Yun Zong in a daze.
After a long time, the old man suddenly said,"
"How old are you this year?"
Yu Lan was stunned, and she lowered her eyebrows as she replied,"
"I am as old as peach and plum (between 16 - 20).”
"Peaches and plums?"
Bai Qi was stunned at first. Then, he sized up Yu Lan, who was sitting upright, and suddenly continued to ask,
"Are you married?"
"…No."
"Yes, I remember…Elder Huo is now Sikong Jie, right?”
"Yes, he is my master."
Bai Qi suddenly smiled,
"When that old man competed with me when he was young, he vomited blood after being beaten by me in five moves.”
Yu Lan's eyebrows jumped, and she lowered her head.
"I don't know."
"Hehehe ~"
Bai Qi laughed,
"The Yin-Yang School doesn't prohibit marriage. But…she was still a girl. Let me ask you, if I ask that old Sikong Jie to take you over and betroth you to Yun Zong, giving up the position of Great Si Ming of the Fire Clan, would you be willing?”
Yu Lan's eyebrows jumped. Under the light of the fire, her cheeks were as red as peach blossoms in April.
"Hmm…"
At this moment, the tent collapsed, and Yun Zong slowly opened his eyes.
