Chapter 1055: The Rise And Fall Of Worldly Affairs (I)
Daoist Master Ling Mei nodded, asked him to have some tea first, and went to Chenghua Hall to request the text. After quite some time, he returned, cradling a Daoist scripture.
The Daoist scripture had a dark blue cover and pale yellow pages. It lay half open in his hands. Even when he walked to the tree, he did not set it on the jade table, but only said, "Zhaojing, please look."
It was not proper to make him hold it like this. Yet treasures often produced strange phenomena, and placing it on the case might crush it.
Li Ximing used his divine ability and reached out with both hands to receive it, but Daoist Master Ling Mei raised a hand and said, "Zhaojing, the Wanyu Sword Book is no ordinary thing. Let me handle it."
He smiled and said, "If one bears sword intent, the sword book is as light as brocade, and even an ordinary farmer could tuck it into his bosom and carry it away. Without cultivation in the sword, the sword book is as heavy as Mount Taishi, and even one who has achieved Purple Mansion Realm would find it hard to lift."
Li Ximing returned the smile, then nodded and let his gaze fall on the sword book. Only a six or seven thin pages had flipped. A few small words shone. At the top were the words White Pear.
The two words were snow white. Two lines down, another pair of small words surfaced, equally white, Yuxin[1].
After these two characters came tiny script that read Liyang[2] Yuxin Unified Qi Pure Yang Sword.
What followed grew even more complex, a dense array of symbols interspersed with phrases that could not be deciphered. Daoist Master Ling Mei turned the pages with his divine ability, lifting them until the final few leaves, where archaic characters in pale blue were written, Qingchi[3].
Li Ximing took it to be a sword name. A few lines later, the writing turned to ordinary black ink, which read, Yueque[4].
