Chapter 77: Mo Family's Eldest Son

  In 251 BC, nine years had passed since the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao. Since Bai Qi killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers of Zhao, Zhao has been in a state of decline.

  At this time, King Zhao of Qin had been on the throne for several decades. As King Zhao grew older, the people at home were restless. Wangzi Zhu was weak and ill, while Wangsun Zi Chu was in his prime.

  In the past, Wangsun Zichu was once trapped in Zhao State. Although he was rescued by a wealthy merchant named Lü Buwei and returned to his country, his concubine Zhuji and their son were detained in Zhao State.

  As King Zhuang of Qin's body deteriorated day by day, someone in the state of Qin became increasingly worried. This person was Lü Buwei, the "Great Merchant in the State". Although Lü Buwei had saved Zichu, he was disliked by Wangzi Chi for being a non-Qin person. Lü Buwei was worried that after Wangzi Chi ascended to the throne, his own position would be insecure, and it would be even more difficult to bring Zhu Ji and Ying Zheng back to Qin.

  Lü Buwei was anxious in his heart, and he sent many people secretly into the State of Zhao to contact Wu, the "Great King of Pastures", who had lived in Zhao for many years. He wanted to bring Zhu Ji and Ying Zheng back. The distance between Qin and Zhao was over a thousand miles, and even if they used fast horses to send messages, it would take more than a month for a round trip. Lü Buwei's brow was furrowed with anxiety as he waited for urgent news every day.

  One day, Lü Buwei entered the palace to meet Wangsun Zichu. Unexpectedly, Zichu suddenly mysteriously dismissed his attendants and said he wanted to introduce a superior person to Lü Buwei.

  Lü Buwei was already burning with anxiety in his heart, and he had no mood to meet any noble man. However, he couldn't afford to fall out with Zi Chu - his future wealth and glory still depended on Zi Chu. So Lü Buwei suppressed his anger and put on a respectful appearance, quietly waiting for the noble man to come out of the inner hall.

  Wang Zichu exclaimed excitedly: "This is Qingxu True Man, she is a true person of Taoism, her swordsmanship is outstanding, and she has the ability to take on a hundred with one."

  Lü Buwei heard this and looked up, waiting for a clear view of the person coming, almost stunned.

  A man wearing a Taoist robe with a lotus flower crown on his head, carrying a long sword on his back, with an extraordinary air about him.

  Her beauty is like a misty moon, elegant and unparalleled. Her eyes are clear and bright, shining with every glance. She is truly a first-rate beauty, with an air of nobility and refinement, as if she were a white cloud drifting lazily by or a bright moon hanging high in the sky, untouchable and awe-inspiring. In a daze, one can only feel as though they have caught a glimpse of an immortal descending to the mortal realm.

  A Taoist maiden bows her hands in greeting, with a hint of a smile flickering between her eyebrows and eyes.

  "I wish to go to Zhao and bring back Wangsun's son."

  Lü Buwei finally came back to his senses, greatly surprised and then overjoyed, congratulating Yingzi Chu on finding the latest chapter of Gao Ren Du Bu.

  Yingzi Chu's face also showed joy, and he excitedly promised: "Qingxu True Man is of high integrity, Zi Chu will not treat the True Man lightly!"

  The Taoist girl smiled and did not respond, took the secret order and token from Zichu and left swiftly, like a white crane soaring in the air, quietly and soundlessly leaving the Qin Wang Palace.

  Lü Buwei's eyes lit up, and he quickly thought about how to contact the people he had sent out - with this master's help, success was just around the corner!

  A few days later, outside Wu'an City, a young man fled into a dilapidated and remote land temple, hiding in a corner.

  He sat with his legs crossed, thinking dejectedly about what he should do from now on. Should he really find a mountain village to spend the rest of his life?

  He was also an elite among men in the 21st century, a top-notch special forces operative. Who would have thought that he would end up spending his twilight years in such a desolate ancient era? He recalled his days in the military, his brothers-in-arms, and his girlfriend Qin Qing...

  It would be better if he hadn't participated in this damn time-travel experiment!

  If he could go back to modern times, he would immediately propose to Qin Qing!

  Qin Qing will surely smile and say "Shao Long, I'm willing"?

  This modern special forces warrior, after suffering repeated setbacks, finally became disheartened and couldn't help but reminisce about the past. However, as for what to do now and how to spend the future, he was completely at a loss!

  Xiang Shaolong, who was once incredibly proud, now huddled in a corner of the dilapidated temple like a beggar.

  Suddenly, there was one more person in the temple.

  Xiang Shaolong was shocked and looked over, only to find that it was a middle-aged man wearing hemp clothes, barefoot, no wonder he couldn't hear the footsteps. The newcomer was tall and big, about two meters high, with an ancient and simple face, calm expression, but his eyes were shining brightly, except for the cloth on his head, there was no ornament on his body, looking a bit like a Buddhist monk.

  The two men eyed each other, and after a while, the man walked up to Xiang Shaolong and squatted down, saying: "Where does this brother come from?"

  Xiang Shaolong didn't know what the other person's background was, so he remained vigilant in his heart and replied, "I'm just a humble man on my way to Handan to visit relatives, but I got lost on the road and ended up here. If you're willing to tell me how to get to Handan, I'd be eternally grateful."

  That man smiled slightly and said, "I'm not some big shot, I just saw that you have a strong build and a dignified appearance. Although you've fallen to such a state, your eyes still have an unyielding proud spirit, so I asked. Tell me, what are you capable of?"

  Xiang Shaolong cursed inwardly, but in order to gather information about the road to Handan, he swallowed his pride and said: "I don't understand anything, I just have a strong body, I'm not afraid of doing hard labor or fighting."

  "That person smiled and said: 'Do you know how to use a sword?'"

  Xiang Shaolong nodded.

  He calmly said: "Follow me!"

  He pushed open the back door of the Mountain God Temple and hid behind it.

  Xiang Shaolong has nothing to lose, and he's got a bit of a "broken pot can't be smashed" attitude. Without thinking, he chased after her and found himself in a desolate backyard with high walls surrounding it. In the middle was a dried-up small pond, and at the other end was a small stone house.

  Xiang Shaolong was shocked to discover that there was still someone else in the courtyard, a young girl, and a very beautiful one at that.

  She was wearing what appeared to be silk clothes, looking like a Taoist priestess, with a lotus flower crown on her head and a long sword on her back. At first glance, she looked like a person in a painting, very similar to the legendary Sword Immortal. Needless to say, she was very beautiful, but that beauty was different from all the beauties Xiang Shaolong had seen before, and it even made him unable to think of any evil thoughts, and for a moment, he involuntarily felt like kneeling down and worshiping her.

  The girl exclaimed "huh" and asked towards the house: "Mr. Yuan, who is this person you brought?"

  A voice came from inside the house: "It's just a guest, Qingxu Zhenren doesn't need to mind the latest chapter of KaKa Rebirth System."

  The young girl turned around and looked at Xiang Zuo Long a few more times, then raised her hands, clasped them together in greeting, and calmly said: "I am Qing Xu, I don't know how to address your noble self?"

  Xiang Shaolong was still unaccustomed to dealing with this kind of person, and he was momentarily at a loss for what to do. He stood there stupidly for a moment before hastily making a bow with his fists clenched.

  "In the lower item, pay respects to the true person."

  "Xiang Shaolong?" The girl slightly furrowed her brow, as if this name had stirred up some memory. After a while, she asked, "May I ask if Mr. Xiang is from Chu?"

  Xiang Shaolong thought for a few seconds before reacting to the meaning of "Chu people" as "people from Chu State", and hastily shook his head, saying: "I am a person from Zhao State."

  The girl pursed her lips and stopped talking, walking quietly to the side with a slightly furrowed brow, as if still thinking about something.

  Xiang Shaolong, this name she must have heard before, only it's been a long time and she can't quite recall. Nowadays with the military power of seven countries, Qin has not yet unified, mentioning "Xiang" easily makes people think of the Xiang family of Chu State, which is why she asked this question, but the other party said they are not from Chu, could it be just a misunderstanding?

  The Taoist maiden who was called "Qingxu" was actually Yao Guang.

  When she was once again cast as the "Upper Clear Sky Sword" and encountered thunder, she was very calm. After discovering that the surrounding environment had changed to a heavenly transformation, she did not panic. It took her more than ten days to figure out where she was and when she learned that it was still during the time of the seven nations of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin, she felt a mix of emotions.

  It was at this moment.

  It was originally at this time.

  The reason why Ying Zheng treated her so well was planted at this time.

  Jade Light thought of the various honors and deep love that Ying Zheng had given her in the past, thinking of the palace full of books, she couldn't help but smile.

  She has today, even if the teacher's door has merit, the seven countries' hidden books in that temple also helped a lot. If it weren't for those days of reading through the seven countries' books, she wouldn't have had the knowledge and experience later on, and there wouldn't be the literary nation of Wu Ping Tian Xia either. Perhaps Qin Zheng wasn't intentional, but he really pushed her forward, letting her take another step closer to being a sage from an ordinary Taoist disciple.

  Whether it was from the favor of Ying Zheng or her early admiration for Qin Shi Huang, she should have helped Qin and Ying Zheng unify the world.

  The power in the dark has brought her back to this era, allowing her to come to this magnificent age in person. If she just stands by and watches, wouldn't that be a waste of this rare opportunity!

  Yao Guang always felt that Xiangzi looked a bit different from others, but for a while couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. He suspected that Yuan Zong had probably reached the point where he was so hungry he'd eat anything and would try to pass on his Mohist teachings to anyone he met.

  Yao Guang left the Qin Wang Palace and headed to Zhao Guo. Along the way, Lü Buwei sent someone with a message, telling her that when she arrived in Zhao Guo, she could contact Wu Shi. On the way, she coincidentally met Yuan Zong, who was being pursued by killers. She rescued him on impulse, only to discover later that he was actually the current leader of the Mohist school, albeit a nominal one with little influence over other Mohists. Yao Guang didn't want to see the Mohist leader die in the wilderness either, so she looked for an excuse to stay and guard Yuan Zong until his injuries healed before leaving. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zong brought outsiders to their hiding place again.

  Yao Guang looked at Xiang Shao Long for a moment, and was sure that this person only had brute strength but no real ability. Even if he had ulterior motives, he wouldn't be able to stir up trouble, so she smiled and decided to watch the show.

  Before long, Yuan Zong walked out of the house with a pair of wooden swords and threw one to Xiang Shaolong.

  Xiang Shao Long took the sword and his hand sank down, obviously not expecting the wooden sword to be so heavy. He adapted for a while before noticing that the sword in his opponent's hand was incredibly strange - the tip of the sword was flat, as if it had been chopped off by someone.

  Yuan Zong noticed Xiang Shaolong's gaze, and smiled: "This sword is a treasured heirloom of our sect, called Mo Mei. If you can win against me, I'll tell you its secret. Come, try attacking me with two swords!"

  Xiang Shaolong drew his sword and danced with it for a couple of rounds, then shook his head saying: "I won't let fate decide! I'm afraid I'll hurt you."

  Yuan Zong's eyes lit up and he smiled, saying: "If your sword can touch my clothes, I will immediately present you with the detailed map of the terrain leading to Handan, along with a bundle of clothes."

  Xiang Shaolong burst out laughing and said: "Then I won't be polite."

  Yao Guang covered her mouth with her sleeve and let out a soft laugh.

  Yuán Zōng, has she been defeated by you so many times that she's now at the point of having to use her charm to bully outsiders?

  Xiang Shaolong, despite his tall and sturdy build, broad shoulders and narrow waist, strong and powerful, but the way he wielded his sword made it clear that he had never learned how to use a sword before. In the past, he probably only relied on brute force to win, and would not be a match for Mozi's master.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, Xiang Shaolong swept his sword horizontally with a strong attack, trying to force open Yuan Zong's wooden sword with brute strength. However, Yuan Zong remained still, shaking his wrist, and his black eyebrow-like sword arrived first, slashing diagonally onto Xiang Shaolong's sword. Then, the sword tip pointed diagonally upwards, as if about to stab Xiang Shaolong in the face.

  After that, Xiang Shaolong seemed unwilling to give up, relying on his strength, he swung his sword repeatedly, but was always easily blocked by Yuan Zong. By the 72nd sword, Xiang Shaolong finally exhausted himself, retreating and panting heavily, with a disbelieving expression on his face.

  Yao Guang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Master Yuan, a master of swordsmanship in his generation, yet he bullies an outsider like this..."

  It would have been fine if no one had said anything, but now Yao Guang has spoken out, and Yuan Zong's face suddenly flushed with embarrassment, and he muttered: "I saw that he was strong and agile, and I couldn't help but want to try him out."

  Yao Guang smiled again, didn't say anything else, slightly shook her head, lightly tapped her foot, and in a flash, she floated to the top of the stone house, leaned back with her hands behind her back, gazing at the flowing clouds.

  Xie Shao Long was still in a daze, not expecting the girl who looked like a sword immortal to suddenly reveal such a move. He was stunned and looked at the wall of the stone house, then at the roof, which was more than three meters high. It would be easy for him to climb up, but it was absolutely impossible to "fly" up so lightly.

  Xiang Shao Long almost dropped his jaw, "This is...the legendary lightness skill?!"

  The author has something to say: The background of this volume is Qin, which includes "Seeking Qin" and "Qin Shi Ming Yue".

  The adaptation of "Seeking Qin" has merged with the TV series, where Xiang Shao Long doesn't have a girlfriend named Qin Qing, and instead messes around with relationships between men and women. The TV series is much cleaner, but the plot is indeed richer, so generally speaking, the principle is to prioritize the plot over emotions in the TV series. There are many beautiful women in the TV series, and there have been many deletions and mergers of roles. I will choose some to write about appropriately. Actually, compared to Wu Ting Fang, I prefer Ji Yan Ran... In the original work, Ji Yan Ran is amazing, traveling around the world to engage in debates, trying to find a way to end the chaotic era, her swordsmanship is second only to Wei Guo, and she's also skilled with guns, a talented woman famous throughout the seven countries (and very beautiful). As for Wu Ting Fang, I don't think I've seen her make any contributions in the original work (thinking deeply).

  There is also a description of Yao Guang's appearance:

  In the previous volumes, I didn't describe much, but this chapter was written twice and exaggerated more than before. On one hand, it's because Yao Guang's temperament has changed, giving people a feeling that is indeed more beautiful. On the other hand, the style of this world is different, Huang Yi's descriptions of beauties' appearance and temperament are all exaggerated, and men's reactions to beauties are also different. In order to be consistent with the style of this world, I slightly exaggerated the description...
