Chapter 190 Ringside Witness
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56When 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
Once Upon a Time Chapter 192 The Yeti Horde
With more and more secrets heaped upon my lap, I was forced to seek out the one person who held the answers to all the mysteries: Father. I wanted to speak to him about his past and his connection to the Dragon-slaying Blade but to no avail. Following some deductions, I concluded that Master Six was the only one aside from Father and Mother who knew everything. Hence it was he I sought. Although we were many a time beaten back by difficulties, we finally found the immortal but he looked reluctant enough to impart the truth he knew. But at last, he relented. He wanted me to see the truth for myself and I was sent back through time to the eventide of the Ming Dynasty. Here, I saw the keeper of the Dragon-slaying Blade, Bian Dashou and also my parents in this era. By following Bian Dashou, I came to Mount San Feng Zi where Li Zicheng's late father and grandfather were interred. Without any doubt, Mount San Feng Zi was hallowed grounds which wou
Once Upon a Time Chapter 193 Interference
My interference seemed to have saved Bian Dashou, much to his and the yeti's surprise. They paused for the briefest of a second with shock and I was shouting, "What the hell were you doing?! Use your magic! Or are they just for show?!" But I know no one was able to hear me. Bian Dashou clambered up with flakes of frost falling from his robes and furs. But to my shock and dismay, the fool moved closer and closer towards the yeti like a lamb offering itself to be slaughtered! I was utterly shocked by Bian Dashou's behavior and it somehow made the herd of more-than-ten yetis angry! Despite the snowstorm, I felt my blood froze. Is he mad?! Why is he not running for his life at least?! The yetis bared their fangs at him and roared, then they stormed at him again! But Bian Dashou continued his casual stroll toward them! He would either have conveniently chosen to be blind at this exact moment, or he was willingly embracing Death! The yetis came at
Once Upon a Time Chapter 194 Lost in the Frost
"So, I am right! These people were confused!" But I could not see for sure what sorcery or contrivance was leading them astray. There were ways to confound people and render them lost and clueless. Ghosts Barriers, a simple magic that common ghosts and spirits were capable of, was one of them. Zhu Mei's Windchaser enchantment was also another. But there were also mazes that could be conjured or erected. But I had not been looking closely enough, hence I failed to make out what was it leading us running in circles in the snow. Bian Dashou stopped and surveyed their surroundings, looking deeply into the falling snow quietly. But even he failed to see anything out of place. He waved and beckoned his party to keep moving. With their bearing renewed, the party pushed on. Only this time, I became more alert. We pressed on for another hour, then the lethargic and humdrum silence was shattered by a cry. We looked around and saw the cry came from the
Once Upon a Time Chapter 195 The Grotto Graves
It seemed that I had found the solution to the conundrum; armed with this revelation, I walked over to the still-bewildered Bian Dashou. The despaired Bian Dashou was still muttering quietly to himself when I got to him, a forlorn and beaten man who knew not what should he do. I let loose a wretched chuckle for the wretched man and hesitated quietly. Then, I steeled myself and reached for his hand. He nearly flinched when he felt me grasping on his wrist and jumped with shock. He looked and looked but still, he could not see the hand guiding his. Jia Huan and Li Cheng both witnessed this; they looked with disbelief at Bian Dashou whose arm rose suddenly and wondered if the Lord Magistrate had gone mad. "What's wrong, my lord?" But Bian Dashou said not a word; he looked at his hand being raised and the aporetic man could move not even an inch. I pried open his fingers and opened a palm, then I took his other hand and began writing a song: Through fen and s
Once Upon a Time Chapter 196 Menace in Midnight
No one seemed to notice that voice. They were all so pre-occupied with their own thoughts and the crackling from the flames had deafened the sound. But I knew something was gravely wrong! I might not have encountered such things personally before, but I had definitely read or saw about this in movies and fiction! I might have not read the whole series of Goosebumps, but I definitely saw enough; that, plus movies such as the Mummy and the Mummy Returns were enough to make me quiver. The jiangshis in Lam Ching-ying's films might scream and shriek, but I would never bet against those corpses now resting in the coffins now buried all around us! Bian Dashou was sitting with his back to one of the exhumed coffins, with a mere three meters away from it. The stone chamber was hardly a large one and the moaning echoed from behind him yet he was showing no signs of having to notice it! I could feel the skin on my face curdling with worry and apprehension when sudde
Once Upon a Time Chapter 197 Li Shouzhong
Seeing this scene, I suddenly remembered that the old man Chen Yixuan had described it in a story: an elm grew on Li Shouzhong's tomb. However, it had never occurred to me that this elm was actually growing on the coffin! This elm was sitting on the coffin, like a living person sitting on the hillside. The creeping roots of the tree wrapped around the whole coffin and then extended into the mud below it. One must know that the elm was in a tomb dark as hell. However, it even managed to develop lots of branches that could even fully extend in the tomb! I observed the elm with my Spirit Sight and found that mixing with the dragon leys' Qi, a powerful stream of evil Qi filled the elm. So, the elm was leafy but had a black-purple body. When someone went forward to touch it, the elm even shivered and dodged him as if it were alive. After taking a closer look, I noticed that those crooked branches were all strangely shaped. Also, they had twisted with many vines, making an u
Once Upon a Time Chapter 198 Bian Dashou Was Caught
"Sh*t!" I exclaimed in my heart. Bian Dashou turned back and found that the black-haired Jiangshi had already blocked his way. Subconsciously, he took two steps back. But to our surprise, it seemed that every single move of him could stimulate the black-haired Jiangshi. This time, he only stepped back for two steps. But after that, the Jiangshi immediately stepped forward twice. Holding up its hands stiffly, it came right at him! From Bian Dashou's expression, I knew all his hopes must have already dashed to pieces at this point. He slowly closed his eyes and waited to die! In a hurry, I rushed forward, quickly raised my leg, and kicked at the Jiangshi's outstretched claws. However, my kick only pushed its claws away. Its body didn't budge an inch because it was as hard as a rock! But my feet hurt like hell. Apparently, the Jiangshi hesitated a little because it somehow missed its close target. While by taking this chance, Bian Dashou ran back to the center of the tomb
