Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sunrise in the East
Wei Zhuang learned a hundred-step flying sword in three days, and his hair was already gray. Ning Shuang had also seen Gai Nie learn this set of swordsmanship, it should be the same, she was a little worried, whether this hundred-step flying sword was comparable to Wei Zhuang's physique.
At the end of the bamboo slip is written a turntable diagram leading to the secret room of Guigu, and Wei Zhuang followed the above diagram to carry Guiguzi into the secret room and bury him where he belongs. Wei Zhuang put Zhan Lu in Guiguzi's hand and closed the lid of the coffin. The ice in the chamber immediately enveloped the coffin. Wei Zhuang was a little nostalgic for what the three of them had experienced here, but now, the three of them had gone their separate ways.
Wei Zhuang knelt in front of the coffin, kowtowed three times, and left the secret room.
He stayed in the valley with Ning Shuang for three more days. The bleak autumn wind turned all his remaining black hair into white hair.
"Brother Zhuang, are you okay?" Ning Shuang looked at Wei Zhuang, who was full of white hair, and asked.
"It's fine." Listening to his voice, Ning Shuang felt that he was indeed fine, and seemed to be more confident than before.
"Brother Zhuang, what are we waiting for?" Ning Shuang looked at the laurel grove opposite, some of the laurel flowers had withered and were scattered in the valley by the autumn wind.
"Senior brother." After Wei Zhuang finished answering, he continued to meditate quietly.
Three days later, he led Ning Shuang out of Guigu and returned to Korea.
They were greeted by a purple-haired, purple-clad girl with a purple striped birthmark under her left eye, like a tear stain. She looks the same age as Wei Zhuang.
"Zhuang Gongzi, you're back," the girl's voice was mature, "your hair?" She looked at Wei Zhuang's white hair floating in the air, a little worried.
"It's not a big deal," Wei Zhuang handed the horse rope to her, "Zinu, how are you doing in the past few days since I was away?" â
"Well, there seems to be something big going on with Han Feigongzi, waiting for you to come back and solve it." The purple girl looked curiously at Ning Shuang, who was hiding behind Wei Zhuang.
"It just so happens that I have something to ask him." Wei Zhuang led Ning Shuang into the house without looking back.
"Wei Zhuang!" Han Fei hadn't seen him for a few days, and there were a few more wrinkles, but when he saw Wei Zhuang, he felt that he wasn't the most worried person in the past two days, "What's wrong with you?" â
Wei Zhuang didn't want to answer, and he didn't know how to answer. He just shook his head.
"You got what you wanted?"
Wei Zhuang nodded.
"Who is this girl?" Han Fei looked down and saw Ning Shuang.
"My sister," Wei Zhuang added, "Yes, the master taught her swordsmanship for a year and a half, and when she was dying, she entrusted her to me. â
"What about Gai Nie and that little Han?"
"Senior brother went down the mountain ahead of schedule, and Xiao Han was arrested."
Han Fei squatted down and touched Ning Shuang's head, Ning Shuang's eyes were full of sadness: "Little sister, it's okay, we will take care of you." â
Behind her, the purple girl also entered the house and stretched out her hand to Ning Shuang: "Little sister, come to my sister, my sister will take you to walk around and buy some beautiful clothes." â
Ning Shuang looked back at the purple girl, a little scared, Wei Zhuang squatted down and gently encouraged Ning Shuang: "Go!" â
Ning Shuang nodded and walked towards the purple girl, who led her away.
"How old is this kid?"
"Nine."
Wei Zhuang and Han Fei sat on either side of the square table.
"There's something wrong with this kid."
"She was cursed by a man in black from the Yin and Yang family."
"Donghuang Taiyi?"
"Isn't that the god in "Nine Songs"?"
"The people of the Yin and Yang family all want to become gods, so they use the gods to title themselves, calling the name of the gods, but doing demonic things."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Yin and Yang academics pay attention to the balance of yin and yang, and the five elements are mutually reinforcing. Zou Yan, the founder of the school, wrote a lot of books on the theory of heaven and the five virtues, so that the Yin and Yang family was in a state of both ability and political integrity. Later, Zou Yan got old and passed on this faction to the current Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who did not follow Zou Yan's doctrine, but pursued the power of God too much, but could not reach the realm of God at all, and they invented a lot of terrifying tricks to torture their enemies.
"Donghuang Taiyi is the head of the Yin and Yang family, and he is also the most powerful character in the Yin and Yang family, this person uses a mask to hide his true face, and there are not many people who have seen his true face, and there are fewer and fewer. There seems to be no upper limit to his strength, and no one has ever seen his most powerful moves. He generally doesn't shoot lightly, and if he does, it's to kill some powerful character, or have some important purpose. â
"Isn't that Xiaohan going to be dangerous?"
"I don't think so, Donghuang Taiyi killed Guiguzi, didn't kill Xiao Han, but took her away, presumably this girl has some importance to him."
Wei Zhuang relaxed slightly, and Han Fei continued to tell him.
"Under the Eastern Emperor, there are left and right protectors: the Star Soul and the Moon God. In the past, the moon god was the left protector of the Yin and Yang family, and only later did the young man Star Soul appear. For some reason, the moon god took the initiative to ask the Eastern Emperor Taiyi to give up his position as the left protector to the star soul. Speaking of which, this young man is also evil, he should be the same age as you now, but he has always been thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Under the left and right protectors are the five elders: Yunzhong Jun Xu Fu is good at refining pills, and he is very close to the people of the royal family and nobles; Da Si Ming and Shao Si Ming are the two female killers who often appear in the Yin and Yang family; Xiangjun, Mrs. Xiang lived in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, no one dared to get close to it, and the lost people broke into it, and then they never came out. â
"It's because they don't have the ability to come out," Wei Zhuang counted, "Aren't there nine gods in the Nine Songs?" In addition to the Star Soul and the Moon God who replaced Hebo and the mountain ghosts, there should be one Dongjun left, right? â
"'The sun rises in the east, according to my Fusang, Fuma's drive, the moon will be bright' Dongjun is second only to the role of Donghuang Taiyi, Donghuang Taiyi has been looking for a person who can be called Dongjun among the six countries for many years, but there has been no result."
"Now, though, he's found the right person." Wei Zhuang looked at the sun outside the house, thinking about the cruel methods of the Yin and Yang family. Do the gods in the heavens also live this merciless life?
In the territory of Qi State, the moon god who was waiting at the gate of the Yin and Yang Hall early finally ushered in the return of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. The moon god coiled up her purple hair and fastened it with a blue wooden spike-like hair ornament, and a gauze scarf hung over the spikes to cover her eyes.
Donghuang got out of the carriage and stretched out his hand to help Xiao Han get out of the carriage, but Xiao Han ignored him and jumped out of the carriage directly.
The moon god stepped forward: "His Royal Highness the Eastern Emperor, is this trip still smooth?" â
"Shun lĂŹ, shun lĂŹ," the Eastern Emperor seemed to be very happy, he walked towards the main hall, turned back to the Moon God and said, "Moon God, remember the ...... I sued you" The Eastern Emperor pointed at Xiao Han.
The moon god looked at Xiao Han, who was standing on the side, angry, and her previous expression of doubt suddenly changed to surprise, and she stepped forward to salute.
"Your Excellency Dongjun, you're back!"
