Chapter 57 Xuan Ming Han Sword

Flowers in wilderness

A few decades ago, the Jianghu of the Central Plains was far from being as harmonious as it is now, with devil cults coming out to pick fights from time to time, and the various sects not stopping at all, with gangs having fights almost every few days. Although ordinary people are more willing to describe this as a bloody storm, so that there is more to talk about when they kibitz, but in reality, it is more of a pandemonium, with both sides cursing each other and fighting for verbal advantage, no different from the rascals in the village fields.

Everyone knows that the more people there are in a fight, the better. Therefore, whenever it is near the appointed day of the sects, the gangsters on the street become the sought-after goods of each family – a few pennies and two meals can hire them for a day, not only can they quarrel loudly, but also have no pressure to inquire about the ancestors of other families, and they can also criticize their mothers in different ways, which is cheap and cost-effective. And these punks are also very happy to participate in such activities, there is fun to see is one aspect, and effortless and enjoyable, more importantly, you can come back to brag with the neighbors, looking around a circle of envious eyes, and even waking up laughing in their dreams. Although this work is good, but there are dangers, once in the Xiao Shan Gang and the money door when the fight, because the two sides hired people are quite fierce, to the end of the situation is out of control, actually really pull out the sword to fight, those punks where to see this battle, see the blood, one by one turned around and ran, one of them a little slower to run, the back will receive two knives.

Injured this gangster is a young man, hair disheveled, face dirty, probably because of his strong body, blood flowed all over the place but also did not die, woke up lying in a hut, sitting next to a woman who was boiling medicine.

“Is that woman Bai Tou Feng?” Duan Yao was mesmerized. 

Jing Liutian nodded: “No one knows the real name of Bai Tou Feng, only that she likes to cover her hair with a white scarf and holds the White Phoenix Sword in her hand, so she got this name. The teacher from the then Jianghu martial arts cultivation of the gray-robed old nun, kung fu naturally not bad, originally should not be with these dating small sects involved, just happened to pass by, and kind-hearted, so they saved that after the hand.”

Duan Yao said, “Since Master is a Buddhist, naturally he should be more kind.” Unlike his own master, whenever he was mentioned, it was to scare disobedient little dolls.

“It may not be good for people to be too kind sometimes.” Jing Liutian said, “That latter’s name is Li Tian, have you heard of this person?”

“Li Tian?” The name was mediocre, Duan Yao thought about it for half a day before he said, “Sea Wave Hand?”

“What do you mean by “Sea Wave Hand”?” Jing Liutian laughed and asked his subordinate to bring in a cup of sweet tea for him, “It’s the Wave Breaker.”

Duan Yao scratched his head.

No one knew where Li Tian came from, and even before that fight, there was no such name in the Jianghu. The disciples of Xiao Shan Gang later recalled seven or eight times, and said that they only saw him squatting on the street, his clothes were dirty and tattered, and thought he was a rogue ruffian, so they went up and gave him a few coins, and then dragged him to the top of the mountain to fight a group of people – and when they saw that he was really chopped up, they hurriedly dispersed, and who would have thought that this person would be a Who would have thought that this person would be a world-class expert.

“Huh?” Duan Yao didn’t understand.

“Maybe something happened that day, or maybe it was because he was poisoned. I don’t think anyone else in this world would know the reason except for Bai Tou Feng and Li Tian himself.” Jing Liutian said, “After Li Tian recovered from his injuries, he has been living with Bai Tou Feng. The gray-robed old nun hid a secret manual of martial arts. After her death, there are many people in the Jianghu who are eyeing Bai Tou Feng, one by one to find the door, but one by one by Li Tian to beat away. His palm technique is extremely exquisite, and can even split the ground with one hand, flying sand and stones like a tumbling tsunami, so he got the name Breaking Wave Chop.”

“Sounds good.” Duan Yao said, “But if it’s a rough road, I don’t think it will end in marriage and children.”

Jing Liutian nodded, “And then, Li Tian disappeared for some reason.”

Duan Yao: “……”

“He was previously arrogant and offended many people in the Jianghu.” Jing Liutian said, “After the news spread, Bai Tou Feng became a piece of fat meat in the eyes of everyone, some people still can’t forget the secret manual, some people covet her beauty, and some people want to ask Li Tian’s whereabouts from her mouth. Later, when her family couldn’t stay any longer, Bai Tou Feng escaped from the city and went to the sea, but she still fell into the trap of her enemies and fell into the hands of the thieves.”

“Is there no martial arts master to do justice?” Duan Yao asked.

“The martial arts master was far away in the western region, and no one knew at that time who had fallen into the hands of Bai Tou Feng.” Jing Liutian said, “It wasn’t until three months later that a crazy white-haired woman appeared on the street, babbling nonsense and losing all her martial arts skills.”

Duan Yao frowned.

“She sneaked out.” Jing Liutian said, “Later, a few sects couldn’t bear to look at her and sent people to rescue her, but they happened to meet the people who came to kill her, and only then did they finally realize who the real culprit behind it was.”

“Who?” Duan Yao asked.

“A lowly sect named Xuan Shang Villa had been singled out by Li Tian to take on the entire villa, tying the knot.” Jing Liutian said, “After the crime was revealed, the rest of the righteous people rallied against him, although it is also considered to be avenged for the innocent woman, but in this Jianghu, there is no longer a chivalrous woman Bai Tou Feng.”

“What happened later?” Duan Yao continued to ask.

“No one knows what happened after that. It seems that Li Tian never came back.” Jing Liutian said, “As for Bai Tou Feng, some people say she died, some say she left the family, and some say she married an ordinary man, who knows.”

“That’s right.” Duan Yao said, “Is it true that Li Tian never came back?”

Jing Liutian shook his head, “Even now, no one knows his real identity, whether he is dead or alive, where he has gone, let alone his whereabouts at that time.”

“Uh-huh.” Duan Yao said, “Thank you, Master Jing, I’ve let you break the rules today, and I’ll definitely think of a way to make up for it in the future.”

“Duan Xiao Wangye is very kind.” Jing Liutian pushed the poison on the table back, “If I don’t accept this gift, I wouldn’t be doing business, so what’s the point of breaking the rules.”

“Also.” Duan Yao tucked the vial back in, “Then count me as owing a favor.”

“Good point.” Jing Liutian said, “Just why did Xiao Wangye ask about this all of a sudden, did you hear something or see someone?”

“I can’t say exactly, but if the past life is really so tragic, then it’s better not to disturb the old man.” Duan Yao took a deep breath, “It’s because I thought about things too simply earlier.”

Jing Liutian understood and nodded slightly, “I understand.”

After leaving the Jin Man Inn, Duan Yao originally wanted to go to Fu Ming Village to take a look again, but after hesitating, he turned around and went back to the Northbound Palace.

As the full moon in the sky gradually disappeared, the sun rose in the east and the mist dispersed, and smoke and people began to appear in the Su Huai Villa.

Although it is summer, the morning in the mountains is also cool, Duan Bai Yue pulls up the quilt and gently covers the naked shoulders of the person next to him.

Chu Yuan raised his arm to block his eyes, “What time is it?”

“You don’t have to go to the morning court, so you don’t care what time it is.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Go back to sleep if you are sleepy.”

Chu Yuan said, “It’s boring inside the room.”

Duan Bai Yue got up and opened the window.

Nan Mo Xie was smiling like a flower in the courtyard.

Duan Bai Yue “clang” re-closed the wooden window, but also inserted the buckle.

The traitor ah …… Nan Mo Xie shook his head and was very emotional, turned around and skipped to the kitchen.

What is called marrying a wife and forgetting her mother.

Duan Bai Yue returned to the bed and re-embraced the person into his embrace.

Chu Yuan was tortured by him all night, and was drowsy, did not see if the window was open or closed, and soon fell asleep again. Tao Rende turned around a few times outside, the guards said that Xinan Wang has been sleeping did not go out, but also relaxed, intending to go to the dining room alone to eat breakfast, but in the kitchen when passing by, almost with a hair messy old man collided with a full embrace.

“Great warrior Nan.” Tao Rende saluted and took two steps back without making a sound. After all, this person in front of him was dead and alive and dead again, and he didn’t know what kind of object he was, so it was better to hide away.

“Lord Tao.” Nan Mo Xie was gnawing on a fried dough stick in his left hand.

“Is the great warrior Nan sick?” Tao Rende glanced into the kitchen, the casserole was gurgling, and the smell of medicine was everywhere.

“Not really.” Nan Mo Xie said, “A bowl of tonic soup, would you like to have a bowl too, Lord Tao?”

Tao Rende looked at the scorpions, centipedes, and toads scattered on the table and turned to leave with a smile on his face, fearing that he would be dragged and dunked into his stomach if he was late.

Nan Mo Xie shook the pigtails that his young apprentice had tied up for him a few days ago and continued to squat back to the stove to cook the medicine. Boil dry and then add water, a full seven or eight times, before clearing out the end back to the residence.

The person who opened the door was Chu Yuan.

“Your Majesty.” Nan Mo Xie smiled kindly.

“Senior Nan.” Chu Yuan felt uncomfortable-after all, Nan Mo Xie’s bedroom was right next door, and according to his martial arts cultivation, it was impossible for him not to know that he had come last night.

What’s more, it was originally …… a family.

“This is medicine.” Nan Mo Xie handed him the bowl and urged, “Make sure he drinks it all in one gulp.”

“The fifteenth day of every month, is to take this medicine?” Chu Yuan took it in his hands.

Nan Mo Xie nodded, “Yes, it is poisonous, sour and bitter.” So, after eating it, it is necessary to give it some sweetness.

“Thank you, senior.” Chu Yuan slightly bowed his head.

Nan Mo Xie cleared his throat, intending to continue rendering the atmosphere, “This medicine-“

“Master.” Duan Bai Yue appeared behind Chu Yuan, his gaze like a sword.

Nan Mo Xie forced himself to calm down and touched his pigtails.

“Senior, go back and rest.” Chu Yuan laughed, “I will watch him take the medicine.”

“Did you hear?” Duan Bai Yue blocked the door frame with one hand, bowed slightly and looked up at his master, “Do you want the apprentice to send the master back?” The smile is kind, and you can tell at first glance that it is not a threat at all.

Nan Mo Xie did not even go through the door, and directly climbed the wall back to the next door.

Chu Yuan: “……”

“Master said something, you also know.” Duan Bai Yue closed the door to the house, “Just listen, don’t believe it.”

“Senior Nan didn’t say anything either.” Chu Yuan sat at the table and handed him the medicine bowl, “It’s a bit hot.”

Duan Bai Yue said, “Feed me.”

Chu Yuan: “……”

Duan Bai Yue said, “Bitter.”

Chu Yuan said, “If it is bitter, you should drink it in one gulp.”

Duan Bai Yue thought about it and said, “My hands hurt.”

Chu Yuan laughed, took a spoonful of the soup and blew it to cool it, feeding it to his mouth.

Duan Bai Yue never realized that this poisonous soup could be so delicious.

“What’s in it?” Chu Yuan asked, “Is there anything in it?” Chu Yuan asked, “Are there any herbs that are hard to find?”

“Just the usual poisons.” Duan Bai Yue said, “They are everywhere in the southwest.”

Chu Yuan frowned, “Poison?”

“It’s poison to ordinary people, but to me it’s the antidote.” Duan Bai Yue drank the remaining medicine, “Otherwise, I am afraid that once the Golden Silkworm Thread wakes up, it will not be willing to go back to its sting.”

Chu Yuan sighed, “But it can’t be like this all the time.”

“Let’s not talk about this.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Hearing the three words Tian Chen Sand again, my head is going to explode, there is Master and the people from Xinan Mansion to look for it, you are not allowed to intervene anymore.”

Chu Yuan nodded and poured a cup of tea for him to rinse his mouth. Lunch was also sent to the room, after the two finished eating, Duan Bai Yue asked, “Sleep for a while?”

Chu Yuan said, “I just got up more than an hour ago.”

Duan Bai Yue said, “There is nothing to do either.”

Chu Yuan said, “This kind of leisure afternoon, you will not taste tea, two will not play chess, three do not want to read books, four do not pass the music, really should have nothing to do.”

Duan Bai Yue answered, “If I know all of them, how can I get the turn of that Lord Wen to win the lottery.”

“You are such a person.” Chu Yuan couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, “If you don’t like Taifu, then just let it go, where did Wen Aiqing mess with you.” You haven’t even met him, why do you have to talk about him every now and then?

Duan Bai Yue took the opportunity to say, “If you are willing to keep him in Shu all the time, I promise not to mention it again in the future.”

“Don’t think about it.” Chu Yuan shook his head, “Wen Aiqing is the pillar of my Chu, after a few years of outside training, if he excels in politics, not only will he be recalled back to Wangcheng, but even the first position of the hundred officials will be reserved for him.”

Duan Bai Yue: “……”

“Why, jealous?” Chu Yuan hooked his chin.

Duan Bai Yue said, “If I had known that you like scholars so much, when I first learned what kung fu, I should have followed Master Wang, maybe now I can also speak well.”

“Nonsense.” Chu Yuan patted his face, “Stop fooling around, quickly go and exercise your kung fu to heal your wounds.”

Duan Bai Yue kissed him on the lips before he got up and went back to the inner room. Chu Yuan drank two cups of tea by himself, his remaining light scanned his sword, and he was curious, so he took it over to play with it. After a long time, he realized that this thing is a piece of broken iron from afar, and when he got it in his hand, he would realize that it is also a piece of broken iron that is too heavy.

What kind of thing ah …… Chu Yun picked up the clunk and knocked it on the ground twice, and one smashed a pit.

Should he himself send someone out to find him a competent weapon.

“Xinan Wang.” Tao Rende’s voice came from the courtyard.

Chu Yuan: “……”

“Xinan Wang.” Tao Rende was still calling from the courtyard.

On the contrary, Nan Mo Xie was not there and there was no movement around.

“Xinan Wang, please forgive me for being rude.” After half a day without any sound, Tao Rende walked up the steps, intending to take a look to see what was going on, so that he would not cause another problem.

Chu Yuan threw down the sword in his hand, went into the house and jumped onto the beams – the action was a bit hasty, and was accidentally scratched fingertips, but fortunately the broken iron sword blade is blunt enough, and put it into his mouth for a moment to stop the blood.

Tao Rende pushed the door, saw no one outside, then went straight into the inner room.

Duan Bai Yue was meditating with his eyes closed, holding his breath. His upper body was naked, and there were some ambiguous red marks on his neck.

Tao Rende came close to take a closer look and said, “This is fainting or something.”

Chu Yuan: “……”

There is a small dragon totem tattooed on the chest of the heart, and after seeing it clearly, Tao Rende unexpectedly changed his face and hurriedly turned around and left.

Duan Bai Yue exhaled a breath and opened his eyes to look up.

Chu Yuan jumped down, and his body was a bit dusty.

Duan Bai Yue looked at him and smiled.

Chu Yuan said, “This is good, Taifu will probably be more convinced that you are a wolf and can’t be prevented.”

“Whatever.” Duan Bai Yue stood up, “Was it you who clanked the ground on the outside?”

Chu Yuan paused and said, “It was your sword that fell to the ground.”

Duan Bai Yue said, “No wonder.”

Chu Yuan asked, “What exactly is that?”

Duan Bai Yue replied, “It seems to be called Xuan Ming Han.”

Chu Yuan: “……”

Seeing this, is it even uncertain what it is called?

“Master gave it to me, saying that it is an ancient divine object.” Duan Bai Yue casually took a side of clothes and put them on.

Chu Yuan really can’t help himself, “There is still the Yu Jian Sword in the palace, do you want it?”

Duan Bai Yue shook his head, “A person who practices martial arts, how can he change his weapon twice in three days.”

Chu Yuan wanted to say, ‘It must be a weapon’.

On the table outside the room, Xuan Ming Han Sword’s body floats up with patterns, but it fades away in an instant, even if someone sees it, they will probably think it is an illusion.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the two of them ate a bowl of vegetarian noodles together, Chu Yuan said, “I should go back.”

“Be careful on the road, and don’t come back in the next few days.” Duan Bai Yue said, “It will take another hour to go back, why don’t you sleep in the palace for a while.”

Chu Yuan smiled, “Well, I won’t come.”

Duan Bai Yue held his waist and lowered his head to kiss him. Chu Yuan closed his eyes and wrapped his arm around his neck, kissing him with love and devotion. After a long time, the two only let go of each other, Duan Bai Yue rubbed his thumb against his lips softly and said, “Wait for me to come back.”

Chu Yuan patted his chest and turned around to leave the door.

Only after seeing his back disappear did Duan Bai Yue return to her room to rest.

Nan Mo Xie squatted on the tree and happily nibbled on melon seeds, staring at the moon walking to the sky little by little. He yawned and fell asleep, very at ease.

In the middle of the night, a wind began to blow in the mountains. The bushes and grasses rustled, and thunderstorms came from the sky. Xuan Ming Han’s buzzing vibration, although the sound is extremely small, but Duan Bai Yue’s hearing is so sensitive, instantly open his eyes and turns his head to look at the table.

The blue-purple totem slowly climbed all over the sword, like a flower blooming in the wilderness.

Duan Bai Yue frowned and got out of bed, step by step towards Xuan Ming Han, after a moment of hesitation, reached out and held the sword handle.

In an instant, the wind was howling, and the door of the house was “clanging” and was blown open. A shocking thunder rumbled through, silver lightning seemed to be tearing the dark sky, and in a moment the light shone out of the doorway with a pale and bloody face.

“Xinan Wang.” Lan Ji’s voice was hoary, as if it came from the depths of the earth, “How have you been?”
