Chapter 7 The Past of Wan Cheng

There are records about the "Wanqi" clan in "The Legend of Foreign Countries", which was unexpected as Tian Yin expected. After reading it through, I found that there were many vague places, but the general idea can still be seen: The Wanqi tribe first appeared two hundred years ago. Their clan members were brave and good at fighting. They made great contributions to the establishment of the country by Taizu of the previous dynasty. Together with the Tuoba tribe, Dugu tribe, and Yelu tribe, they were named "Four Great Nobles". Until the founding of this dynasty, the "Four Great Nobles" were divided into two factions, one moved south into the Central Plains, and the other remained behind the place where the ancestors lived for generations. The specific reason for the separation was unknown.

There is also a saying in the book, "The Wanqi tribe has many people, many of them are powerful, fast and long-lived. This is very different from ordinary people. It is said that they are ancient clans and gods' descendants." In this way, their body skills and physical skills are not acquired, but are more inherited from their ancestors. What does the ancient clans and gods' descendants mean? They are not humans?

In addition, according to legend, the Wanqi tribe has a casting method inherited from the extreme north "He Shen Kingdom". The forged swords not only remain stainless, but also a very small number of skilled craftsmen can create "hollow blades" that can be used for souls and monsters to host. However, since there are no existing objects in the "hollow blades" for reference, the details are unknown.

The description of "Wanqi Bu" in "The Legend of Foreign Countries" is gone here. The remaining part has been painted with ink and can't be seen. If you have the chance in the future, you have to talk to Qiaoer. Don't mess up the book casually, which will affect your reading. It's not good!

However, from the few records, Tian Yin still roughly grasped three situations: First, the "Wanqi Village" where he was located was most likely composed of descendants of the Wanqi tribe who migrated south to the Central Plains; second, some of the Wanqi tribe should exist in the northern part of the desert; third, the Wanqi Hu and he obtained in the ghost cave were probably the sword forged by the Wanqi tribe.

Even though he understood this, he still could not solve the many questions in Tianyin's mind. Maybe the general would know something? He should find time to ask the general for advice. Tianyin thought while reading, but time slipped away unknowingly. When the servants of the Qin Mansion came to invite Tianyin for lunch, he realized that it was noon at this time, and the head of the sun was three feet high. When he heard about lunch, he really felt that his stomach was a little empty, so Tianyin followed the servant to the living room.

The living room of Qin Mansion is not luxurious, simple and generous. More importantly, the lighting is excellent. Sitting here makes people feel very refreshed. It will be better if they have a good appetite. Having a good appetite seems to explain why the Qin Mansion is full of red and healthy.

When dining in Qin Mansion, there are usually a table with generals and guests, women and servants, but the generals will definitely not be there at noon. Tian Yin cannot be with women and servants, nor can he be with servants. In the end, he has to sit alone at a large table where more than ten people can sit.

Lunch was made of two meat and two vegetables and one serving of soup. Considering that Tian Yin was not healed and one person might not have eaten so much, Mrs. Qin specially asked the kitchen to give him a dish of ginseng black chicken soup, plus a dish of licorice and poria cream. The chef of Qin's mansion was really amazing. The dish was cooked in color, fragrance, taste and shape. The best evidence was that shortly after the meal, a white and tender little hand held the ivory chopsticks and attacked Tian Yin's ginseng black chicken soup. When Tian Yin "suddenly discovered it", the two chicken legs had already entered Qiao'er's belly. This little girl was so good at getting cheap, she was so obedient that she was so angry that she could not save her from the old man's "tiger's mouth" in the morning. It was a very evil thing!

While destroying the "legless chicken", Tian Yin thought "viciously" that unless she exchanged the chicken legs, she would never return the book to the little girl before she finished reading it!

"Super the Wanqi team", Mrs. Qin called Tian Yin after dinner.

"Madam, just call me Tianyin." He was called by Mrs. Qin, who was much older than him, and felt uncomfortable no matter what.

"Tianyin, do you have any free time in the afternoon? The general will come back in the afternoon and want to talk to you."

"Yes, madam." Tian Yin has too many questions to ask the general to answer. Why would he miss such a good opportunity? Besides, he really has nothing else to do except go to the study to read.

"Okay, I will send someone to find you when the general comes back in the afternoon."

"After all the arrangements of the lady."

Tianyin then fell into the study until the servant informed him that the general was waiting for him in the back garden.

"I guess you have a lot of questions, right?" Without any greetings, the general went straight to the point.

"Yes, General", Tian Yin only said these four words.

"Then why don't you ask?" The general was a little strange when he saw Tian Yin not asking questions for a long time.

"I don't know where to ask." Tian Yin has too many questions, so I really don't know which one to ask first.

"That's right, then I'll say, listen, how about it?"

"Please give me advice, General."

"Five years ago, I had a task to find something in the 'ghost cave'. It is said to be a sword used by Yun Zhan back then." Yun Zhan was the number one powerful general in Daxing who followed Taizu to expand territory. He was known as the "Daxing Twin Legends" together with his younger brother Yun Dian.

"When I rushed over, the ghost cave had collapsed, and you four dolls were thrown into the water by a few men in black." Tian Yin knew that he and Xueer were Feng and Yun, the two military marquises, were rescued by them, but they never knew about the men in black.

"At that time, I saw two battle knives. Wanqihu had one, and you also had one." Wanqihu's can indeed be called a battle knives, and his own one could barely be considered a "breaking knife".

"I don't know which one is the real sword."

"Then I sent someone to your village, but there was no one in the village." If this was not said from the general, Tian Yin would definitely think that this matter was a fantasy.

"Everyone in Wanqi Village has disappeared?"

"Everyone, I don't know much about this than you."

"It is not my intention to keep you at Tianmen Pass, but to be entrusted by others."

"As time goes by, you and Wanqihu have changed a certain amount of changes. Simply put, you are more calm and steady, and Wanqihu is more restless." Tian Yin really felt this change that cannot be explained by "growth".

"Until four days ago, you fought with Wan Qihu in hand, and it had an unexpected 'resonance'."

"resonance?"

"It's the call between the swords to each other." So that's it. No wonder that Tianyin always heard a voice asking him to fight the field.

"This kind of resonance is very dangerous. All the soldiers closest to you around the hand fighting field that day were injured!"

"The above are all the facts I know. Based on this, I speculate that Yun Zhan may have more than one knife, and the villagers of Wanqi Village may still live somewhere. Do you have any questions?"

"Why did the general tell me this all of a sudden?"

"Being entrusted by others, you must also make a choice."

“What choice?”

"You and Wanqihu can no longer exist at Tianmen Pass at the same time. Wanqihu is more like a soldier, so you are here now."

"I can't go back?"

"Yes, you have two choices. One is to stay here for the time being, think clearly where you will go in the future, and then listen to the emperor; the other is that you have not paid your salary in five years, so even if you leave now, you will be free of cold and hungry for several years."

"That is to say, sooner or later, I have to leave?" Tian Yin's voice trembled slightly. After all, no one would feel good when he was forced to leave the place where he had lived for five years.

"Yes."

"Why me?"

"You are not suitable to be a soldier, and someone asked me to do this." The general actually used the word "request", which shows that the person has a lot of identity and energy.

"Can the general tell me who that person is?" Although it was unlikely, Tian Yin was still unwilling to accept it.

"You will know in the future." The general refused to tell Tian Yin.

"I need to think about it." Tian Yin felt confused for the first time in his life. He never thought about where to go in the future.

"It will take as long as possible", the general left this sentence and left Tian Yin alone in the garden.

There is a question that Tian Yin couldn't ask after all, that is, why the general shot that arrow. He vaguely felt that the general would not harm him, but there was no reason to harm Wanqihu. Also, who was the man in black who threw them into the water? If the purpose was a sword, why didn't he take it away? Now I think about it, there should be someone outside the cave at that time, and who were those people? Why didn't he enter the cave? What was the wolf howling that came at that time? Send the general to the "ghost cave" and ask him to tell him these things to himself. It should be the same person. What is his purpose?

All kinds of thoughts were messy, and it was probably not that easy to solve them. The most important thing is to find the person who entrusted the general. Tian Yin felt that all this seemed to have the shadow of that person, or the person involved, or the person guided him. Maybe his current experience was also directed by that person, right?

"I, what should I do?" Tian Yin asked himself in his heart. His parents passed away when he was very young. Although the villagers kindly raised him, they would not tell him what to do in the future. They just lived. Later, they went to the "ghost cave" and everything was different. The people they were originally familiar with disappeared, and nothing changed. Still no one told him what to do in the future. He still lived like this, but was just at Tianmen Pass. Now, Tianmen Pass should not be able to go back. The general left only two choices and left. Where should he go?

"I, what should I do?" This question kept hovering in his mind. "I'm really ridiculous. I've been alive, but I just live. I don't know what the days ahead will look like." Tian Yin couldn't help but smile, gently, with a little bitterness.

"Do I ask others, but who should I ask?" I really don't have any friends to make friends with each other, and this doesn't matter. Most of the people in the army are drunk today. No matter how worried or worry tomorrow is, it won't be of any benefit even if they say it? It seems that they can only rely on themselves, and the way for men is to drive themselves!
