The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, yet light and effortless. It looked like it was written in one go, as if it had been carved directly with a sword.
Lu Ban knelt on the ground excitedly and burst into tears.
"My ancestor, the unworthy descendants have finally found you."
Qin Yun asked in confusion: "Master Lu, can I be sure that he is your ancestor just by relying on this stone tablet?"
Lu Ban said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. My ancestor is not only a master craftsman, but also a world-famous swordsman. He once fought against a great master without losing."
"The founder went east to find the legendary Immortal Mountain. Unfortunately, countless people in the past dynasties have searched for immortality, but the immortals have not heard of it."
Qin Yun smiled: "Birth, old age, illness and death are the natural ways. Even if you use some means to live in this world, you may not be the same person you once were."
Qin Yun's words were not without purpose. After experiencing the incident of King Zhao Wu's tomb, Qin Yun had a clear view. Throughout the ages, hadn't countless heroes fallen for the word "immortality"?
Of course, Qin Yun did not deny that there was real immortality in this world. After all, his ability to travel through time was a great adventure in itself.
Qin Yun shook his head: "Okay, let's move on. Your ancestor must have left this stone tablet to remind future generations."
Lu Dian nodded: "The Patriarch must have lived on this island for a while, let's go inside."
Qin Yun summoned Yang Yong: "Take people to explore the island from the outside inward, every thirty steps. Don't be anxious. If you encounter danger, report it immediately."
"promise!"
Yang Yong and Zuo Sixiang followed the orders and left.
Bai Feiyang, who followed him forcefully, looked at Qin Yun and remained unmoved.
"Brother-in-law, do you know that my sister is getting married?"
Qin Yun smiled and said, "When did I become your brother-in-law?"
Bai Feiyang's eyes were firm: "My sister said that the way for a rich family to survive is to make multiple bets, but I don't want her to sacrifice herself. In fact, what my sister really cares about in her heart is you, otherwise she wouldn't have given you those three hundred fine armors. I won’t give you such convenience.”
"Your Majesty, my sister is burdened with too much. I, Bai Feiyang, have never begged anyone in my life, but please, Your Majesty, please save my sister for the sake of our past friendship!"
After saying that, Bai Feiyang knocked on the ground. Although it was a beach, it showed his sincerity.
Qin Yun said helplessly: "You first need to figure out what your sister is thinking and who your sister is going to marry. I can't take it by force."
"Why not? The old man who I consider to be my brother-in-law doesn't matter. The worst I can do is follow your example, or we'll rebel against him!"
Bai Feiyang is in high spirits.
Qin Yun was speechless: "When did I rebel?"
Bai Feiyang said: "Did you know that when you led more than 100,000 troops to approach the capital, the civil and military officials in the capital thought that these gentlemen would have regarded you as a rebel. Otherwise, once you left, why would you want to Ji Qing is sent to pacify the Western Region, to disperse the group of subordinates who followed you and send them to the North as cannon fodder."
"Cannon fodder?" Qin Yun's eyes narrowed.
Bai Feiyang: "Lantian sent someone to contact me before, hoping that I would provide him with some food and grass. They are isolated by the court and the Ministry of War, and now they have to raise even basic food and grass by themselves."
"It's all your fault, but I didn't rebel thoroughly. My grandfather once said that hesitation is the most taboo thing for soldiers. Hesitation will lead to defeat. If you had directly rebelled against your mother, you are the emperor and I am also an uncle. You After giving the order, does Zhao Xiaoxiao still dare to beat me?"
Qin Yun was happy, this guy was more worried about feelings than him.
Qin Yun thought about his previous conversation with Wang Menghu. Sometimes retreating might lead to greater disasters. He admitted that he had hesitated before. He was worried that it was a trap set by Emperor Xia.
Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of troops were only forcibly integrated by him in a short period of time, and he did not dare to gamble.
However, now that the sky is high and the birds can fly, he no longer has any scruples.
"Get up, it sounds like you feel aggrieved. When I go back this time, I will show my cards to your sister, but only if she is willing to stay."
"Don't worry, I will definitely convince her. She has been chanting the poem you gave her last time."
"Okay, let's go!"
Bai Feiyang stood up and chased Yang Yong.
Lu Ban on the side smiled: "Your Majesty, this boy from the Bai family is interesting. However, I don't know whether to say something or not!"
"Master Lu, just say it."
Lu Ban said: "I have stayed in the capital for many years. The wealthy families in the capital are very careful in handling things. Maybe they just want the prince to see him like this."
"Bai Feiyang is like this, but it doesn't mean that the Bai family is like this."
"Even the Shen family is the same. What we can see is just the tip of the iceberg."
Qin Yun nodded. An old man in a family is like a treasure. There are many people with worldly feelings. Although he knew it, he still didn't realize it.
"Master Lu, please rest. I looked at the sword characters and suddenly had an idea!"
Lu Ban cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, your martial arts has taken a further step."
Qin Yun nodded, sat cross-legged and began to meditate on the stone tablet.
He has always been stuck between the first-class master and the grandmaster, and this Mozu is obviously a generous man. He has firmly locked the charm of swordsmanship in a few big characters with the gesture of a pen and a dragon. On this stone tablet.
The sea breeze was blowing and the waves were rippling. Qin Yun closed his eyes and seemed to see a swordsman in white practicing his sword on the beach facing the vast sea.
Not long after, he moved, and Qin Yun picked up a branch at random. At this moment, he forgot what he had learned and the moves taught by Wang Menghu.
Forgetting all the experiences he learned from fighting in his previous life, forgetting all the big and small battles he went through in this life, his breathing gradually began to become abnormally steady.
The mind is as calm as water, but when I think of it, it becomes turbulent.
"Crack!"
The branch in his hand broke out of thin air. Qin Yun opened his eyes and said with great joy: "That's it!"
Lu Ban on the side repeatedly raised his hands: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for seeing the true meaning of martial arts. The door to becoming a master has been opened!"
Grandmaster?
Qin Yun shook his head.
"A true master will only have the heart of an apprentice, just like a divine craftsman. The heaven and earth are so big, and all things are so vast, we humans can only reach a drop in the ocean. The sky is big, the earth is big, people are big, and the universe is big. Mozu is amazing character."
Lu Ban was startled, but he also seemed to have some realization.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for enlightening me!"
"Your Majesty, let's go back."
Qin Yun smiled and said, "Why is this?"
Lu Ban pointed to the broken branch on the beach: "If you don't have a sword in your heart, you will have a sword!"
Then he pointed to the stone tablet.
"What is impossible in the heart is the law."
"In my whole life, I have always looked up to my ancestors and longed to become a master craftsman, but I have forgotten the original intention of the craftsman. We craftsmen have always used great wisdom to copy the heaven and earth to create all things."
"But the old man gradually went astray, thinking that as long as he found the method left by the ancestor, he could continue step by step."
"I also know why when the ancestor passed down the method, he once said that those who are inferior will copy the works of their predecessors, and those who are superior will understand the world."
"There is no way that Heaven can create things. The great wisdom is in the heart. Even if there is "Tiangong opens things" and "The Art of Divine Craftsman", I will not read it!"
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "Master Lu, you are indeed a master. Congratulations to Master Lu for finding your own way. However, we don't have to completely give up on the explorations of our predecessors. There is a saying that is right, only by standing on the shoulders of giants can we see higher. farther!"
Lu Ban muttered: "Your Majesty, I understand. When I get back, I will study the junior high school physics and chemistry seriously."
"It's just that, Your Majesty, why isn't there just elementary level physics and high school physics and chemistry?"
Qin Yundao: "Those who have understood junior high school are enough for us to change this era!"
Qin Yun was not joking. The basics of mechanics, chemistry, and electricity in junior high school are enough for a craftsman with strong hands-on skills to last a lifetime.
The so-called biting off more than you can chew, and these are all application-based.
Lu Dian nodded: "Your Majesty, the person who wrote the book of physics and chemistry is also a figure like Mo Zu."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "No, not just one, but countless."
Lu Ban looked yearning: "I really hope I have the opportunity to communicate with them!"
Qin Yun was startled. He didn't know what was happening to those people in the West in this era. Did they drink blood like hair or blood, or had they already started the industrial revolution?
Qin Yun is looking forward to it. When he builds a strong ship and cannon in the future, he can sail over and say something to them.
"Open the door for trade!"
Just when Qin Yun was wandering around, Yang Yong and others returned.
"Your Majesty, if something happens, we found traces of Japanese people in the dense forest!"
At this time, there were also small boats rowing quickly on the sea.
"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates are attacking."
Not far away, Han Jiangxue, who was directing the movement of coconuts, drew out his long sword.
"Follow me to kill the enemy!"
Qin Yun said coldly: "It seems that the pure place of your ancestor has long been unclean!"
Lu Ban silently took out the desert eagle he made from his arms. If a cook doesn't starve himself, how can he not prepare something to save his life in his spare time?
"You should be killed for disturbing the Patriarch's purity!"
An ancient old man with white beard and hair, holding a pistol in his hand, looked like he was boiling with evil energy. Qin Yun always felt a little discordant when looking at this scene.
But at this time, Japanese people also came out of the dense forest.
"How can we repair the Bagh Ya Road..."
Qin Yun was not polite, he took out his gun and shot, while uttering a wave of curse words in dialect.
"Fuck you, mother!"
There was no suspense about the situation of the battle. All the Japanese who were pursued fell to the bullets, but they stepped on wooden clogs and rushed over with samurai swords in hand, looking like crazy.
After Qin Yun finished firing the bullets, he drew his sword and stepped forward without any nonsense, followed by Han Jiangxue.
Although what Qin Yun had just realized was swordsmanship, in his eyes at this moment, a sword is a sword. There is no need to distinguish between killing people.
Hack, chop, stab, chop, tease, block...
In his eyes, any move is just an ordinary move. One person with one sword is like a hundred people with a thousand people.
A Japanese warrior screamed strangely after being killed, and hurriedly retreated into the dense forest. It was not until a Japanese warrior with a mustache and a shaved hair appeared that all the warriors regained their courage.
"Despicable Xia people, why are you trespassing on our Fusang territory!"
The warrior spoke in half-baked Chinese dialect.
Qin Yun smiled and pointed to the stone tablet not far away.
"Fuso Territory? What do you think the words on that tablet are?"
"Baga, that was left by Immortal Craftsman from my court. What does it have to do with you, Daxia?"
Lu Ban fired at the man with a "bang" sound. The latter's eyes turned cold and he actually blocked with his blade. His speed and reaction were jaw-dropping.
Qin Yun also became serious, because the person in front of him was a master-level expert.
"Shameless, Daxia people only do sneak attacks?"
Lu Ban said coldly: "How come I, the founder of the Mo family, have become your Japanese?"
