The silence was broken by Gou Han Shi when he looked at Chen Chang Sheng and asked “Is this the story recorded in the Gui Yuan Way of Scroll?”
Chen Chang Sheng nodded and said, “The footnote on the second chapter.”
Gou Han Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, “Indeed the names of these four sword moves are recorded, but the author didn’t mention the order.”
Chen Chang Sheng said, “Both the West Capital Notes and the You Yang Geography Book mentioned a spectating Taoist monk. According to the Taoist monk, the order of the moves were the order in the Gui Yuan Way of Scroll.”
Gou Han Shi realized that both books did have such record and before Chen Chang Sheng pointed it out, not many people would connect the two books to the story in the Gui Yuan Way of Scroll. The main reason was that the Gui Yuan Way of Scroll was not one of the classics emphasized by the Tradition. Since it was published several hundred years ago, only a few people have read it.
The spectators were all confused because they didn’t understand the conversation that Chen Chang Sheng and Gou Han Shi were having.
Even the elites of the Six Ivies and masters of the Qiu Shan Family felt like they were listening to a book from heaven.
The Bishop frowned and asked Prince Chen Liu who was next to him “Which Way of Scroll are they talking about?”
Prince Chen Liu was not so sure either “Something called Gui Yuan Way of Scroll.”
The Bishop felt angry “How come I never heard of it?”
Of all the people, only Gou Han Shi and Chen Chang Sheng remembered the story from the Gui Yuan Way of Scroll. The story was about an ancestor of the Wen Shui Tang family fighting against a demon elite in the Xin Xiang province. When every spectator thought that the ancestor would lose, the ancestor used four sword moves consecutively and defeated the demon elite immediately.
The four sword moves were: Flipped Golden Tube, Sea Essence, Shadow on the Window, and finally Forest Longsword.
The reason why the battle was recorded as a story was that all the spectators couldn’t figure out how the four sword moves could be used as a combo. How could the seemingly disconnected qi transfer between moves, interact with the demon elite’s moves and suddenly become so fluent?
“Why did you think of using these four sword moves?” Gou Han Shi asked.
