601 Before Tian Guan Lin (1/2)
”Impossible,” Zi Jing Hong said repeatedly. He was puzzled and stayed in silence for very long before saying,”there's nothing in front of Jun Wu Hui's grave… Nothing! His sword was resting on the altar, and it was extremely clean and shiny. His grave, was not even a cenotaph… it was a Marshal tent… There were chairs and tables, benches, Marshal desk, command plate… Everything was sparkly clean, and Jun Wu Hui's statue was sitting right at the centre.”
”There are army camps all around. Everything was placed at where they are supposed to be at, with utmost accuracy. There are three thousand guards, and everyday there would be people patrolling the premise, just like how it was like when Jun Wu Hui was still alive. There was top-level security and everyone entering and leaving would have to undergo a thorough check. There was no exceptions.”
”A soldier on patrol would be in proper attire with serious expression, there was no room for jokes! Moreover, their attire is the army attire from a decade ago! These people… they are really acting… acting like they are not just guarding a tomb, but the Marshal Camp from back in time! Their loyalty… really goes deep into their bone! Brother Xiao, it might be possible for one person, a few dozen or a few hundred, but to think this trend extends to the entire army… This cannot be possible but for the legendary commander!”
He took a deep breathe, ”If Jun Wu Hui was still alive, even I would like to meet him for myself.”
Xiao Wei Cheng was really amazed too, and said in response, ”Same here. I'm going to pay my respect to this white-shirt Marshall up on the mountain tomorrow.”
Zi Jing Hong smiled, and said, ”No matter how beautiful the legend is, there will be a full stop drawn to it one day. I think there is none other than this legendary commando who kept his soldiers' loyalty to him even after his death. No doubt you want to pay him your respects! Even though we are juniors to him, it would still mean something to him!
Xiao Wei Cheng's expressions were dead serious, and he nodded with a heavy heart. Heroes appreciated and respected one another, and it was not affected by backgrounds or skill levels.
After a few days with gloomy weather, the sky was finally clear. The sun was bright and shone brightly over the lands. Everything was white under the sunlight, as if the world was chiseled from a block of pure white jade. It was so bright, that if one did not use power to protect his eyes and glimpsed at the sun, one would feel pain in his eyes!
The weather was extremely cold despite the sun.
There were two silhouettes gliding along the path with great agility, as if they were weightless. They moved through the thick snow in a flash, with zero effort.
Even the legendary ability to take flight ”Tracelessly”could not match up to their level. One might only be able to match up to their level if they reached the even scarier level of ”Travelling through vacuum”, but these people did not seem like it either.
Indeed, these two were not using ability to take flight. Both of them had some weird device tied onto the bottom of their feet. If it was ability to take flight, there was no need for this type of burden. They were holding a thin branch in hand, and poking left and right. As much as they looked really absurd, it was making their travelling rather comfortable, easy and fast. They looked like two white meteorite flying across the land as they sailed through the white snow.
At a closer look, one would realize it was a teenage boy and girl. They were really attractive! The guy was handsome and energetic, while the girl was gorgeous and luring. What a match made in heaven!
Clouds were drifting across the sky. Against the white snow covering the numerous mountains and valleys, the duo's black hair and white clothes were lifted by the wind… This scene looked like it was taken right out of a painting
There was a split road ahead, where the mountain range was ending.
The path split the hills and at one of the path, there was a pointer: 'Tian Guan Lin! Blood tears from the Heaven! Every word was written with great emotions and an untamed air, but all to the point of conveying the sadness and helplessness of a hero at his wits' end.
Jun Mo Xie saw those few words from quite a distance away. They gave him a strong and overwhelming sense of sadness .
Jun Mo Xie halted from his high-speed movement. He stood in front of the monument and felt a strange feeling welling up inside.
”What's wrong?” His pause let Mei Yan Xue overtook him in an instance, who had to turned back to check on Jun Mo Xie.
Today's Mei Yan Xue was no longer a newbie, and she could control her movements however she liked. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for her to execute that turn, which was actually very difficult. Gliding through the snow was tricky stuff!
Hearing Mei Yan Xue's question, Jun Mo Xie acted as if he did not hear anything and remained in silence for very long, staring hard at the words. His gaze was showing glimpse of his loss, sadness and bitterness, as his scroll of ancient memories was unfolded in front of him at that moment.
”Tian Guan Lin! Blood tears from Heaven!”Mei Yan Xue read the words out, suddenly it rang the bell in her head. Her eyes opened wide in surprise, ”Here lies… your… father… Uncle?”
Mei Yan Xue was too shocked to speak coherently. Judging by age and power, she really should not be calling Jun Mo Xie's father 'Uncle'.
