Chapter 183 Another Fool's Errand
And that was all that Shang Pei was willing to divulge, in spite of the obvious fact that both Zhu Mei and he knew more than they were willing to admit.
We hurried back from Inner Mongolia to Wu Zhong and my first stop was home. I needed to ask Father what was going on. Naturally, he refused to divulge anything too. But that hardly dampened my thirst for answers. "Why did you not tell Godmother the truth about her sister? You knew what happened to her all along? And how did the Dragon-slaying Blade go missing when you were supposed to be watching it? And how could Master Six not realize that you had achieved full immortality?"
Father threw me a sideways glance, his narrowed eyes studying me for a second before he took a puff of smoke from his cigarette. "Why are you asking all these suddenly?" I slammed a fist into the table. "Father! There are people hidden in the shadows whose eyes are fixated upon the lost Blade and you! They believed that the Blade is

"In those days, we use fishing poles to catch fish and a snare called Ti–Yes, the same Ti that means 'hoofs' in Chinese–to trap wild hares. To put it simply, it's just a basket that we leave in the water during daytime and by nightfall, we can easily expect to find any haul in the baskets," Mr. Zhang explained while drinking. This is the difference between university students of the past and college students like us today! They were actually imparted true knowledge while we were only trained to pass exams... The significance of their qualification could not be adequately equated with ours... Aunt Fen raised an arm and silence immediately fell upon us. "I suggest here's how we should go on. Let's split up into three groups. The first group will first start with the Bian family burial grounds. The next group will begin searching along the river for the highland where the dud was hidden. Coordinate with this Master Six and Chen Yixuan's route for a better cl
Once Upon a Time Chapter 185 Headway
The development in Yahong Bridge in that era was not anyone could easily comprehend. The city today was but a mere shadow of its former glory, which could well be attributed to the auspicious aura given off by the Dragon-slaying Blade when it was kept by Bian Dashou there. But on the other hand, one had to give the old historian great credit for his detailed and meticulous work. Some of the records even documented various miscellaneous events. Merchant Dong Sixiang moved to rejoin his kin Dong Siyuan at Yahong Bridge after moving from Tonghua Village of Pujiang County in Zhejiang during the reign of Qianlong Emperor. He started a pawnbroker business and opened a shop named Xingshun Pawnshop. The Three Wang Brothers from Shanxi came to the town of Yahong Bridge during the reign of Daoguang Emperor, bringing with them printing methods and vinegar brewing technology, and they operated three stores named Jin Tai, Jin Yuan, and Jin Cheng. The Cao Clan from Hed

Just when we thought that Uncle Quan would only be another dead end, Mr. Zhang pounded the table with his fist suddenly! "I know the officials in your village!" He said at once, "Leave this to me. I'll organize an activity. I'm sure we'll succeed this time." He patted himself on the chest, looking absolutely confident. Then Aunt Fen, his supportive and sensible wife, added immediately, "Xiaojun (Nie Xiaojun) called me yesterday. He's coming to visit us with his family. He's the director of a hospital now. I'm sure I can get him to get a few of his men to organize a charity clinic event at the village for the old people there. Husband, arrange for some caterers to prepare food. The checkups would need the participants to have their stomachs empty before the event, so they'll be hungry and thirsty. I'll foot any medical bills if anyone needs immediate treatment. Let's make them all happy!" Her husband nodded and Aunt Fen looked at us, "The few of you will j
Once Upon a Time Chapter 187 Master Six's Returning
Before we could say anything else, a child's crying voice broke just outside. An old lady walked through the door and spoke to the old man, "Look at your grandchild! He is not coming off the electric car that he just got on outside! He's not listening no matter what I say!" Aunt Fen scrambled forward, saying, "We'll have ways for him to show himself, but we'll just need you to help calm him down when he comes!" She held out a key, "This is the key for the electric car outside." Before Master Six's eldest brother could yelp any protest or assent, a portly man walked through the door this time. When he saw Mr. Zhang and Aunt Fen, he immediately addressed them respectfully, "Master Zhang! Mrs. Zhang!" He took the key from her and muttered a quick "Thank you" before walking out. Next, we heard him saying outside, "Come on, son! There's no need to cry! Come, let Daddy take you for a ride!" So that man was this old man's grandson! He's also Mr. Zhang's business
Once Upon a Time Chapter 188 Back to the Past
I supposed there are times when, despite all our beliefs and convictions in our realities, we had to encounter something that would still amaze, astound and even boggle our minds. Just like what I was seeing. The white brilliance that engulfed me gave way to a view of a busy street, filled with people walking around me. But what was more unbelievable was that everything and everyone was ancient; the people were dressed in clothing articles that only belonged in medieval China and so were the architecture and buildings around me! "This is impossible?! Have I been hurled back to the past?!" I shook my head, as if vainly trying to reawake myself from a long and unbelievable dream, then I remembered Master Six's words before he sent me here. "Go see for yourself if you will. Only then, you'll know." "Has he really?!"As I reeled with trepidation the full comprehension of traveling through time, I broke into a stroll, ambling absentmindedly through the mob of p
Once Upon a Time Chapter 189 The Ming Dynasty Murong Hai
As soon as the words escaped from the man who was carrying his child, the Taoist priest and I were immediately stunned. Redeem your children?! "What do you mean?" The puzzled Taoist priest sputtered, and the man began disclosing the truth. War was ravaging the lands and the hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers who were powerless to repel the Northern barbarians and rebels had instead taken to torturing the common people. The wretched armies, instead of protecting the people, had come to rob and plunder and had taken the children of Wu Zhong County with them when they retreated to Fengrun District. Then they delivered letters of demand to the parents of the children, demanding ransom. Worse, the children would be slaughtered if the parents were late in delivering the ransom. Those that I saw leaving the city with sullen looks on their faces were those who were on their way to Fengrun to redeem their children. Those whom I saw on their way back, but with empty wagons o

When Father finished, the priest went out. But before he swung the door of the room shut, he gave Father a curt nod, indicating his assent. But I was however left stunned like a large frozen snowman in the middle of the room. "What did I just hear?! His mission is severing the dragon leys?!" My past recollections about the history of the dragon leys rushed back into my mind like a broken dam: Bian Dashou not only severed Li Zicheng's dragon leys by orders of the Ming Court, he'd even made full sure that both dragon leys of Li Zicheng and the Ming Empire were snapped in the same time to allow the Jurchens to take the country and founded the Qing Empire! "But here is the priest whose task is to destroy the dragon leys of Li Zicheng!? Does that means he's Bian Dashou?!" My head shifted slowly as I slowly turned to look at Father, who was still nonchalantly sipping at his wine, and Mother, who remained perched on his shoulder. They hardly said a word even aft
Once Upon a Time Chapter 191 Zhang Zixiang
Slow recognition went off like a bomb as the name "Zhang Zixiang" resounded in my mind! The glimmer of inspiration that flashed through me earlier finally made sense! "'Zhang Zixiang', 'Shaanxi' and the 'County Magistrate!' I should have known! I am in Mizhi County of Shaanxi! Bian Dashou is here!" According to Chen Yixuan, Zhang Zixiang's actual name was Li Zixiang! He was the older brother of Li Zicheng. Hence this magistrate office in front of me could only be the Mizhi County Magistrate building and the County Magistrate serving here would be none other than Bian Dashou himself! The keeper of the Dragon-slaying Blade! Excitement swelled in me, burgeoning quickly that it made me leaped to my feet and I flew over the walls of the building. In the frenzy of my elation, I had not thought about how I even manage the jump. Next thing I knew, I was already speeding after Zhang Zixiang who was already being led inside. With a small jog, Zhang Zi
