Volume 2 Dragon Bird Chapter 1 Tian Yuan
“The most famous sword-making family in the South China Sea Islands is none other than the Longquan Mo family.
The swords forged by the Mo family are all so powerful that they are widely sought after by sword practitioners all over the world.
Over the past thousand years, the Mo family has forged countless famous swords. Thirty years ago, the current head of the Mo family forged a sword. The power of this sword was so great that it even attracted divine punishment, which wanted to destroy it.
On the day the sword was born, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. With a wave of Sha Zhuan, gods and ghosts were driven away. Thunder and lightning shook the heaven and earth, and lightning snakes hundreds of meters long swam.
That could truly be described as the blue sky under the nine-day thunder and lightning, with its lightning illuminating the South China Sea. The Mo family put all their efforts into preserving this precious sword in the midst of the mighty thunder and lightning.
From then on, the name of the Mo family became even more famous throughout the South China Sea, and its reputation was unparalleled.
But things are unpredictable. Such a prosperous sword-making family was destroyed overnight 20 years ago! Do you know why? "
In an antique teahouse, tea drinkers gathered together, and an old storyteller was chatting and laughing. However, when it came to the key point, he stopped, sat upright, took a sip of tea, and kept the other person in suspense.
throat.
An object shining with silver light was thrown onto the table in front of the old storyteller. The old man took a closer look and found that it was actually an ingot of pure silver.
"Why is that? Old sir, please give me a good sermon. If you do a good job, there will be a reward." A gentle voice came from the corner of the teahouse.
An uncontrollable joy flashed across the old storyteller's cloudy eyes. He quickly put away the silver and looked at the generous guest.
What a handsome young man! Who is he from?
The old storyteller exclaimed in his heart.
What came into view was a tall and graceful young man with an extremely handsome appearance, clear black and white eyes, and a bright and sharp look. He was sitting in a corner of the teahouse with a smile on his lips.
It was Lu Qingshan who left Zhenjiang Prefecture!
"Thank you for the reward, sir." The storyteller quickly added, "The sword is the cause of success and failure."
"The Mo family prospered for a time because they forged this precious sword that caused heavenly punishment, but prosperity must always decline, and the Mo family fell precisely because of this precious sword."
"This sword is called Sanchifeng. There is a poem that says, 'There is a Sanchifeng sword in the box on my back. I can kill a dragon wherever there is one.' It is used to describe the power of this sword. It is said that this sword can drink the blood of dragons. Although the Mo family keeps silent about it, this saying is still widely circulated."
"But you have to know that the sea has always been the territory of water monsters. Among the water monster clan, the most powerful is the Jiaolong lineage. The saying that a three-foot sword can kill a Jiaolong is so popular. How can the Jiaolong clan, which is violent and unruly by nature, tolerate the Mo family? Overnight, thousands of Jiaolongs rioted in the sea, causing huge waves. In the blink of an eye, the thousand-year-old sword-making family was destroyed, and even the island where the Mo family was located sank into the sea."
The storyteller finished telling this part of the story in one breath with ups and downs, and then turned his eager eyes to Lu Qingshan again.
Lu Qingshan did not let him down. He flicked his wrist and another silver ingot flew out.
Seeing that the storyteller received two large ingots of silver in the blink of an eye, the guests in the teahouse were a little jealous. Immediately, someone knocked on the tea bowl with wooden chopsticks and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Storyteller, do you have any new stuff? You don't know how many times you have talked about this sword-making family. This handsome young man came here for the first time and thought it was new. We old customers are not so easy to fool."
"That's right, let's have something new, it's too boring..." Many people gathered and many tea drinkers immediately followed suit.
The storyteller happily put away the silver, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll tell you something new right away."
He was not stupid. This kind of good thing of having a wealthy customer come to him was obviously only a once-in-a-while event. For his own food, he still had to rely on the old customers in the teahouse, so he naturally could not offend them.
After thinking for a while, the storyteller gently waved his paper fan and began to narrate again: "It is said that in this boundless sea, there is an immortal species of whale. It is huge and sleepy. It floats on the sea surface and sleeps for thousands of years at a time. It is unmoved by wind and rain. Slowly, it evolved into an island..."
"Changjinghuadao, storyteller, we asked you to tell us something new, but you have nothing in your mind, so you just talk nonsense to fool us!" The tea drinker who had just spoken immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
The old storyteller opened his eyes wide, "How can you slander someone's innocence like this..."
"What innocence do you mean? The whale turned into an island, how big was that whale ? You tell me about it. If you tell me well, although I am not as wealthy as this young man, I can still give you some money even if I am scolded by my wife at home." The tea drinker said loudly.
The old storyteller hesitated for a long time and couldn't give a general idea.
The tea drinker caught the storyteller's words and said, "It's really nonsense. It doesn't even make sense. It was exposed in an instant!"
The storyteller's face instantly turned red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he argued, "Artistic processing cannot be considered fabrication... embellishment! Can the storyteller's work be considered nonsense?"
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the teahouse was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.
After a while, the laughter of the tea drinkers died down, and the storyteller's expression gradually recovered. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this time I will tell you something absolutely new."
There was another burst of laughter in the teahouse.
"Have you heard about what happened in Zhenjiang Prefecture, Qingzhou?" The storyteller looked solemn.
"I heard some news. It seems that more than three months ago, a big riot broke out there. The whole prefecture suffered heavy casualties, and the city of Zhenjiang was reduced to ruins..." said the well-informed tea drinker.
suck!
The other tea drinkers all gasped when they heard this.
"The city is reduced to ruins?"
"How is that possible? How many people would die?"
“…”
One word can cause a thousand ripples.
Lu Qingshan also didn't expect that he could hear news from Zhenjiang Prefecture even though he was so far away from the Prefecture.
The storyteller was obviously very satisfied with the reactions of the tea drinkers. He waved his paper fan complacently and said, "You are right. More than three months ago, Zhenjiang Prefecture suffered an unprecedented turmoil. Of the more than four million people in Zhenjiang City, only more than one million survived the disaster."
"More importantly, the subsequent impact of this incident." The storyteller paused, took a sip of tea to take a breath, shook his head and said, "Daxia has set the reign title as Chang'an for a full 20,000 years. But just after the turmoil in Zhenjiang Prefecture, Daxia's national teacher, the master of Tianji Temple, used a method that defied the will of heaven and stole a ray of heavenly secrets. It is said that the ray of heavenly secret foretells that Daxia will fall into an unprecedented chaos, and Zhenjiang Prefecture is just the beginning. And Daxia, because of this, changed the reign title to 'Tianyuan' after the 20,000 years of Chang'an!"
At the end of his words, the storyteller tapped the wake-up stick lightly.
"Tianyuan? Old sir , are you saying that the new reign title is Tianyuan?!" In the storyteller's surprised eyes, the generous and handsome young man stood up and asked in surprise.
The storyteller was somewhat puzzled and nodded, "Yes, sir. Three days ago, Daxia announced to the world that the new era name would be Tianyuan."
Tianyuan!
Lu Qingshan was terrified.
According to the original plot development, the new era name should be Xianwu.
How did it Tianyuan? !
