Chapter 399 Master

After passing the last checkpoint and going around a mountain pass, Ye Changyan and Qing Yunzi finally entered the forbidden sword tomb of Yujing Palace. The scene before them was something Ye Changyan had never expected.

After passing through the valley, there were cliffs thousands of feet high in front of him, and coffins were hung on the cliffs in a scattered manner. Yes, Ye Changyan confirmed again and again that although the cliffs in front of him looked messy, they were actually covered with coffins hung in an orderly manner.

The scene before him was very similar to the hanging coffins Ye Changyan had seen when he traveled to the Little Three Gorges in Wushan in his previous life. The difference was that under almost every hanging coffin on the cliff in front of him, there was a sword of various shapes hanging.

Ye Changyan never expected that the sword tomb in Yujing Palace would be like this. Every sword continued to accompany its master in this way. The scene before him was truly spectacular. Even though Ye Changyan had seen hanging coffins in the small gorge of Wushan in his previous life, all the scenes before him still made Ye Changyan exclaim that they were too magnificent.

Qing Yunzi saw that although there was surprise in Ye Changyan's eyes, he was not as shocked as he thought. He secretly praised Junior Brother Ye in his heart, saying that he was worthy of being the successor of Uncle Gongshu. In Qing Yunzi's memory, among those who came to the Sword Tomb of Yujing Palace for the first time, Uncle Gongshu was the calmest, and Junior Brother Ye could be said to be the second calmest.

"Junior Brother Ye, this is the forbidden place of my Yujing Palace since its founding - the Sword Tomb. The ancestors of my Yujing Palace are buried here, and the swords hanging under each coffin are the swords worn by the ancestors during their lifetime. These swords accompany their masters in this way. This can be regarded as another destination for these swords."

Following Qing Yunzi's introduction, Ye Changyan looked up at the swords hanging under each coffin on the cliffs. Who knew how many winds, frosts, rains and snows they had experienced? Although most of them were hidden in scabbards, many of the hilts and scabbards were inlaid with gold, jade and gems, which still shone brightly despite the snowy weather.

Ye Changyan followed Qing Yunzi to a huge and flat stone under the cliff. On the stone, there were offerings and tributes. Ye Changyan looked solemn. He walked slowly to the altar, put his left hand on his right hand, knelt respectfully on the cushion in front of the altar, and knelt down to pay homage to the coffins of the ancestors of Yujing Palace.

After completing the kneeling ceremony to the ancestors of Yujing Palace, Qingyunzi told Ye Changyan the location of Gongshu Wuji's coffin. Ye Changyan looked and saw that a part of Gongshu Wuji's coffin was embedded in the cliff wall of the mountain. A long and slender sword was hung under the coffin. Next to the coffin, like other coffins, there were two thick wooden stakes inserted horizontally into the cliff wall. Incense burners and candlesticks were placed on the stakes. Although they were far away, Ye Changyan could still clearly see the flickering candlelight and the curling green smoke.

Judging from the situation, it should be possible to climb up the wooden stakes next to each coffin. Ye Changyan cast an inquiring look at Qing Yunzi. Qing Yunzi nodded slightly at Ye Changyan, grabbed Ye Changyan's arm, leaped, and flew to the wooden stake next to Gongshu Wuzhi's coffin.

Qing Yunzi placed Ye Changyan on the wooden stake, then flew again and returned to the huge stone platform at the bottom of the cliff.

Although the two wooden stakes in front of him were very thick, Ye Changyan was standing on the cliff with coffins placed around him. When he was at the bottom of the cliff, he just felt it was spectacular, but when he came to the top of the cliff, the feeling suddenly became real. To be honest, Ye Changyan still felt a little bit creepy in his heart at this moment.

But Ye Changyan quickly adjusted his mood. The person in the coffin in front of him should indeed be considered his master in this world. Although he and this master had never met each other, but for now, in a sense, Ye Changyan and the person in the coffin in front of him are the closest people, because they did not originally belong to this world, they all came from a distant time and space.

Facing the coffin of Gongshu Wuji which was close at hand, Ye Changyan once again placed his left hand on his right hand, knelt respectfully on the plank road built of two wooden stakes, and solemnly performed the ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowed nine times towards the coffin of Gongshu Wuji to pay homage to his teacher.

In Ye Changyan's mind, although he had already recognized Gongshu Wuji as his master, now that he had completed the gift of apprenticeship, he could be regarded as the true successor of Gongshu Wuji. At this time, Ye Changyan was a little excited, and he lowered his voice and spoke.

"Master! Today, we finally meet in the true sense of the word. Although we come from different distant worlds, we can meet in this originally strange world and form such a master-disciple relationship. This may be what is called destiny."

Ye Changyan adjusted his mood and then continued.

"Master, I have received everything you left for me. I came here today to tell you about the task you assigned to me. I have received a reply from your hometown. In another twenty years, the time and space channel to leave this world will be opened again. In the next twenty years, I will try to contact your relatives and family. If possible, I plan to send your bones back to your hometown, so that you can return to your roots..."

Ye Changyan carefully explained his thoughts and plans in front of Gongshu Wuji's coffin. Although it was impossible to get a response from the other party, Ye Changyan was still happy in his heart. After all, his master's last wish was to return to his hometown called the Eternal Dawn Star.

Right now, through the two audio clips from the space-time communication station, Ye Changyan has seen the hope of sending his master back to his hometown. He hopes that he can help his master fulfill this last wish.

After about an incense stick of time, Ye Changyan, with the help of Qing Yunzi, got down to the bottom of the cliff again. The old man and the young man were now real brothers. Ye Changyan nodded to Qing Yunzi, and the two brothers with a huge age difference walked towards the valley beside the cliff. Just when they were about to walk out of the valley, Ye Changyan came to his senses, and his firm gaze locked onto Gongshu Wuji's coffin on the cliff.

Ye Changyan shouted to his master in his heart: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to let you return to your roots."

After shouting this in his heart, Ye Changyan simply turned around and followed Qing Yunzi out of the valley and left the sword tomb.
