Chapter 40: Shadow Swordsman Fang Yan (Yang Yan)

The success of the first two acts put the show on the right track. As the performance progressed, the following stories were revealed to the audience one by one.

Outside the national capital, Akali's Kikyo rescues Yang Yan and hides him in his home before the Lance faction arrives. The two were childhood sweethearts, and after the death of the first king, Kikyo was Yang Yan's most trusted person in this country. Yang Yan hid in Kikyo's house to recuperate, and at the same time recognized his enemy, and secretly contacted the former king's former ministers to plan revenge.

However, Lance realized that Yang Yan was already hiding in the national capital, and decided to strike first, and sent out the dark department in the middle of the night to assassinate more than a dozen important ministers in the national capital who opposed him in one fell swoop, and these ministers were the allies that Yang Yan had contacted in the past few days. At the same time, Lance's spies revealed Yang Yan's traces after a covert investigation.

Knowing the tragedy of the night before, Yang Yan decided to flee the national capital with Kikyo and return to his own sphere of influence on the border of Jingguo, and gathered troops and horses to counterattack the Reims forces in one fell swoop. However, this day, Kikyo disappeared early in the morning, and although the situation was urgent, Yang Yan decided to stay here and wait. However, I didn't wait for Kikyo, but I waited for the dark part sent by Lance.

After a bloody battle, the enemy was inexhaustible, and Yang Yan, who was physically exhausted, fought and retreated, and finally jumped into the sewer to escape. Flee along the reverse line, and after going ashore, disguise yourself as a beggar and escape from the national capital. A few days later, Lance announced the death of Prince Yang Yan, saying that Yang Yan had been secretly assassinated by enemy assassins and that his body had been found.

The country cannot be without a king for a day, Lance ascended the throne to inherit the throne, ostensibly claiming to be responsible for the poor protection of the border army, but in fact, in order to disintegrate the power of Yangyan, he issued an edict to remove the generals of the border army. Although the edict had just been issued, Yang Yan, who was seriously injured in a village not far from the country, knew that the general situation was gone. In his own backbone, the border army did not dare to resist the order of the new king at all, not to mention that the border army was not monolithic.

Just as Yang Yan was anxiously thinking about countermeasures, a piece of news made his heart feel like ashes. Lance issued an edict announcing that he would hold an enthronement ceremony in a few days, and announced that he would marry the shrine maiden Kikyo of Jingguo. Yang Yan almost couldn't believe it when he heard about it, but the truth made him have to believe it.

Everything is pointed at Kikyo, and the only explanation Yang Yan can think of is that Kikyo betrayed him. This filled Yang Yan's heart with grief and pain, and the flames of hatred burned in his heart, twisting his soul. At this time, Yang Yan thought of a legend that his father told him when he was a child.

The Valley of the End, which has been designated as a forbidden place since the time of Gyeongkoku, is said to be sealed with ancient demons that feed on people, and if anyone there alarms the ancient demons, it will break through the seal and destroy the world.

This legend sounds absurd, but Jingguo once explored the Valley of the End, but the people sent there did not survive, and they could only hear the ghostly howls coming from the valley outside. Since then, Jingguo has been stationing a large army around the Valley of the End to prevent anyone from breaking in, so no one dares to enter without permission, and the legend of this ancient demon has become more and more evil, and most people believe it to be true.

However, the former king told Yang Yan that this was just a fabricated lie, and that in fact, the Valley of the End was the burial place of the masked man who called himself "Madara", a peerless powerhouse who had troubled the world and fought against the Twelve Kingdoms on his own more than a hundred years ago. After telling Yang Yan about this matter, he felt the strength of Madara, but the unintentional words of the first king at that time remained deeply in Yang Yan's heart.

"Madara's strength is unimaginable based on the records in the history books, and I always feel that such a strong man who can fight the world with his own strength will not die easily. Perhaps, he is still alive in the Valley of the End, and no matter how bad he is, he should have left behind that powerful force of curse and hatred. ”

To this day, Yang Yan can still remember his father's expression when he said this. Now, Yang Yan has been cornered by Lance, and after wandering and struggling for a long time, Yang Yan decides to venture into the Valley of the End to find his only possible chance.

Although Yang Yan had tried his best to hide his figure outside the Valley of Ends, he was still awakened by Jingguo's garrison here, and Yang Yan finally got rid of the pursuers with great effort and crossed the difficult road into the depths of the Valley of Ends. In the depths of the Valley of the End, there are two stone statues tens of meters high, but there is not the slightest trace of artificiality, as if they were made in nature. Yang Yan had seen the ancient picture scroll that recorded that period of history, and recognized one of the stone statues as Madara, and the other was the hero who stood up against Madara when he was ambitious and wanted to conquer the world, and finally died together to save the world.

At the bottom of Madara's stone statue, Yang Yan appeared in a hidden cave, and after struggling for a while, he resolutely got into it, and struggled through the narrow cave, and Yang Yan finally came to the deepest part of the cave. There, he found a corpse sitting upright, and his face was spotted.

After more than a hundred years, Madara's body still did not decompose, as if it was still alive, which frightened Yang Yan. Mustering up the courage to touch it, Madara's clothes shattered into powder at the touch, but his body remained unchanged, not even the slightest sign of decay.

Yang Yan observed Madara for a while, then set his eyes on the mask that he was holding tightly in his hand. The mask resembles a ghost, and the blood is scarlet all over the body, leaving only two white marks on the eyes, like two lines of tears. The mask seemed to have magical power, and it seemed to contain infinite power, and the demonic thoughts in Yang Yan's heart were eager to try, and he was deeply attracted by this mask.

The flames of hatred consumed Yang Yan's heart, and he grabbed the mask with trembling hands, and snatched it from Madara's corpse with a forceful pull. The moment the mask was removed, Madara's body vanished, turning into a puff of powder and scattering in the dark, enclosed cavern.

Struggling inwardly, hatred prevailed, and Yang Yan finally put on the mask. The moment the mask was put on, the boundless purgatory-like pain touched Yang Yan's soul, and Yang Yan's spirit almost collapsed. After a long period of pain, Yang Yan finally survived, but his head turned a dead white, scattered behind him and on his back.

At the last moment, he kept a trace of clarity in his heart, so although Yang Yan got the power of the mask much stronger than before, it was still far from the legendary Madara.

Holding the long sword in his hand, Yang Yan decided to temporarily call himself "Shadow Swordsman" incognito and go to the national capital alone. On this day, it was the enthronement ceremony of Reims. On top of the celebration, Yang Yan fought bloodily all the way and killed Lance with a sword. Then, Yang Yan's sword pointed at the bellflower standing behind the rostrum.

Facing Yang Yan, who calls himself the "Shadow Swordsman", Kikyo recognizes his identity and smiles and closes his eyes to die. Just as the sword was about to swing down, Yang Yan's heart loosened and broke free from the shackles of the mask's power. Yang Yan took off his mask and faced the bellflower, and was about to question the bellflower, but the bellflower suddenly pushed Yang Yan away.

A blade pierced Kikyo's chest.

The murderer was Lance, it turned out that the previous one was a stand-in found by Lance, and the real one was hiding on the rostrum, because he was afraid that Tianyang Yan would come to assassinate Lance, so he took precautions to make such preparations, and successfully escaped.

While Yang Yan questioned the bellflower, Lance, who found an opportunity, stabbed Yang Yan's heart with a sword from behind, but was seen by the bellflower. Pushing Yang Yan away and taking a sword for him, Kikyo was already dying, and then she told the truth. It turned out that Kikyo agreed to marry Lance because he wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate him to avenge Yang Yan, and it was the day Fang Yan was assassinated in the country that Kikyo was summoned by Lance. After telling the truth, Kikyo died with a smile.

After learning the truth, Yang Yan fought a decisive battle with Lance in grief and anger, but he was not Lance's opponent. Because, Yang Yan's original swordsmanship teacher was his uncle Lance. So, Fang Yan put on the mask again, and finally pierced Lance through the heart with a sword.

After Lance's death, because of the death of Kikyo, Yang Yan no longer has anyone to care about in this country. So Yang Yan did not choose to stay to inherit the throne, but left Jingguo alone and traveled the world under the name of "Shadow Swordsman", leaving behind chivalrous stories that future generations will talk about.

This is the whole plot of "The Prince and the Shadow Swordsman", the plot is very long, and when the play is finished, it is already ten o'clock in the evening. Fang Yan, Akali, Shen and Yigan played supporting roles at the end of the show and bowed to the audience. Standing on the stage, the expected applause and cheers did not come, Fang Yan was a little uneasy, thinking carefully about what was not done well.

At this moment, thunderous applause came, and it lasted for a long time. All the audience in the audience were immersed in this story, and even some female viewers still had tears in the corners of their eyes, still lamenting the fate of Yang Yan and Kikyo. It wasn't until Fang Yan stood on the stage for a while that the audience at the scene reacted and gave the highest praise to all the main creators of "The Prince and the Shadow Swordsman".

Hearing the cheers and applause from the scene, Fang Yan felt that the hard rehearsals in the past few days had paid off, and his face couldn't help but be full of smiles. It is always a pleasure to be praised by others, and being recognized by others also makes Fang Yan feel very happy and proud.

No matter how long and wonderful the show is, there is a time when the song is over, and after the curtain call, Fang Yan and Akali retreat backstage. Judging from the reaction of the audience, this "Prince and the Shadow Swordsman" has a greater response than the last "Legend of Rena", and it is not an exaggeration to call this performance a great success. The success of the show filled the entire backstage with laughter, and the people in front of and behind the scenes congratulated each other, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Finally, Shen said a few words of encouragement and celebration to everyone, and then announced the disbandment of the crew. It's not as sad as the disbandment of ordinary crews, because everyone except Fang Yan is a member of the Balanced Sect, but there are still some feelings, although it is only a few days, but this memory will remain in everyone's hearts.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Fang Yan finally came to Akali and said with a smile: "Sister Akali, the stall here will be handed over to you, I'll go back first." ”

"Today, it's the Festival of Fire." Akali said something suddenly.

Fang Yan looked at Akali puzzled.

As if to say something very ordinary, Akali stared at Fang Yan and said, "Don't you want to go shopping together?" ”

"Huh?" Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of joy surged on his face, and he nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, let's go shopping together!" ”
