Chapter 616 (1/2)
Chapter 616
It was night time .
Peace gradually returned to the Northern Mountain Village .
Stars were s.h.i.+ning brightly in the sky, and the beautiful silver moon brightened the night sky and the villages on the ground .
Fang Zhengzhi was lying on a chair on top of the roof . He gazed at the stars twinkling, lost in thought .
Lin Yun had already went to rest .
Wu Yuer wanted to continue pestering him, but she was rejected as Lin Yun's words were still echoing in his ears .
”The Double Dragon Roll Champion would shock the world, and bring peace to the world!”
”That's the real meaning behind it!”
”It must be related to Nangong Hao!”
The Double Dragon Roll Champion was not foreign to Fang Zhengzhi, as Chi Guyan's name had been the top one in the Hidden Dragon Roll as well as the Rising Dragon Roll in the previous years .
Rumours had always been spreading in the Great Xia Dynasty .
Lin Mubai had said that he would wait till the Heavenly Prophecy made its proper appearance to announce that the Double Dragon Roll Champion belonged to Heaven Army General .
No one could defy what he said!
Fang Zhengzhi had came to know about this matter since many years ago .
However, he did not understand much about the significance of this matter .
Why would Lin Mubai be so confident in awarding the precious Heaven Army General position to a man who had not even turned 18 years old? Just by listening to a mysterious Heavenly Prophecy?
Back then… . .
Fang Zhengzhi's opinion on this matter had stopped at the level of ”faith”, just like the other Buddhism and Taoism .
He believed because of this faith .
Lin Mubai believed in the truth of the Heavenly Prophecy, hence the faith and him wanting to hand over this important role .
But what Lin Yun had said earlier made him realise a whole new level of understanding in this matter .
”King Cang, to be honest, it doesn't matter whether the Double Dragon Roll Champion would shock the world, and bring peace to the world, it is all about peace!”
”Peace?”
”Yes, it is about peace!”
Fang Zhengzhi's eyelids starting feeling heavy, and he moved his body slightly, resting his head on the back of the chair as the light shone on his face .
Peace!
There were certainly many kinds of interpretations to this .
Calm, stable, safe, lack of threats, all these could be considered as peace . It could also mean a harmonious country, and a stable job .
In addition, stability, comfort and tranquility were also peace .
Lin Yun had stated the gist of the Heavenly Prophecy .
But he missed out on the meaning of ”Peace”, since he did not know much about it . Or so to say, n.o.body understood the real meaning behind it .
Since that was a Heavenly Prophecy .
Hence . . .
There would only be wild guesses .
The Great Xia Dynasty guessed that it would mean stability, thus Lin Mubai had decided to hand the Heaven Army General position to the Double Dragon Roll Champion . That should be able to stabilise the country .
But that was just a guess .
No one would know about the truth behind this .
Although the Nangong n.o.bles and the Nangong Hao were clearer about what Lin Yun had said, they thought it was about ”fate” .
The fate in the Nangong n.o.bles had all tied in together with the Heavenly Prophecy .
To be more straightforward .
The Nangong n.o.bles were the ones who understood the whole Heavenly Prophecy .
These were all beyond his expectations, as he had always a.s.sumed that it should be explained by the Heaven Dao Pavilion .
Why would it be the Nangong n.o.bles?
It didn't make sense .
More importantly, why did the Nangong n.o.bles have such high authoritative credibility about their explanation of the Heavenly Prophecy?
There were other big Dynasties beside the Great Xia Dynasty, such as the Holy Barbarian Empire, the Mingyue Empire and the Wu Ji Empire . All these empires had such strong influences and territories, and the Great Xia Dynasty was of no contest to them .
However . . .
The Double Dragon Roll Champion would shock the world, and bring peace to the world!
This statement was indeed about the Double Dragon Roll Champion .
In other words, since the Heavenly Prophecy was about the Double Dragon Roll from the Great Xia Dynasty, the Double Dragon Roll Champion must come from there!
Fang Zhengzhi felt confused, but that didn't last long, as he had thought of a possibility .
That is, the Heavenly Prophecy was only spreading within the Great Xia Dynasty .
However, Lin Yun had told Fang Zhengzhi about how the date reserved for the Heavenly Prophecy was on the day of the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test . The Pavilion Leader had verbally promised that once the ”Chosen One” had been confirmed by the Heavenly Prophecy, he would take on the responsibility to teach what he had learnt before .
That sounded a little exaggerated .
Fang Zhengzhi did not know much about the Heaven Dao Pavilion, but he understood the moment he looked at the moon from the Ling Yun Lou .
The Ling Yun Lou and the Heavenly Dao Pavilion were both powerful influences in the Dynasty .
Then . . .
That led to the question .
Given their strong influences, why would they believe in what the Nangong n.o.bles had interpreted? Even the Heaven Dao Pavilion Leader himself had some doubts .
Fang Zhengzhi's fingers subconsciously tapped on the back of the chair, creating a soft rhythmic sound in the silent night .
At this moment, ”ding!” An ethereal sound suddenly rang in the air .
It was the sound of fiddling strings of an instrument .
It was the sound of fiddling strings of an instrument .
Momentarily, pleasant music of strings playing filled the air, blending in with the sky, with the whole earth .
When its speed was slow, it sounded like a small flowing river .
Just like the small river at the front of the Northern Mountain Village .
When its speed was fast, it sounded like a magnificent mountain .
Just like the Cang Ling Mountain behind the Northern Mountain Village .
The melodious sounds of the strings were very soothing .
Finally, Fang Zhengzhi stopped looking at the sky and slided down slowly on the chair, while he looked at the stars s.h.i.+ning brightly from afar .
The Northern Mountain Village was unlike the Flame Capital City .
That was because n.o.body would know how to play the strings . Their expertise was with the cotton flowers .
Of course… . .
The Northern Mountain Village not only had its local citizens, but also the Royal Guards who rushed back from the Flame Capital City, but would they know how to play the strings?
Possibly .
But it was highly improbable .
Besides them, there were also Wu Yuer and original Nineth Prince, Lin Yun .
Talking about Wu Yuer's strings skills .
There could only be a way in describing her skills, and that would be terrible .
As a leader in the Shadow Sect, her terrible skills were already indescribable . What was worse that instead of feeling ashamed, she felt proud of them .
