28: Chapter 28 Storm Pavilion (Seeking recomndation, seeking collection) 28: Chapter 28 Storm Pavilion (Seeking recomndation, seeking collection) Editor: Henyee Translations The Dragon-slaying Treasure Sword, ntioned by Yin Bukui, was of course not the kind you get for free with a click, but rather a true divine weapon, A weapon that ranks even higher than the Zhuge crossbow!
What’s more lethal is that the Dragon-slaying Sword is not just a divine weapon, it carries a boundless mystical aura in the martial world.
There’s even a proverb circulating in the martial world:
The greatest in the martial world, is the Dragon-slaying Treasure Sword;
Commands the world, none dare to disobey;
Without Sky-lean, who will compete?
Here, the Dragon-slaying Treasure Sword refers to the Dragon-slaying Sword, and Sky-Lean refers to the Heavenly Sword of the Mt.
Ei Sect, although the sword is not currently in the hands of the Mt.
Ei Sect.
Not long ago, on Zhang Sanfeng’s birthday, the leader of the Wudang sect, Yu Daidan, obtained the Dragon-slaying Sword by chance while returning to the mountains to celebrate the occasion.
Along the way though, he was ambushed by assassins using the Mosquito Whisker Needle and the Seven Star Nail, two concealed poisonous weapons.
After regaining consciousness from fainting, Yu Daidan discovered that not only was the Dragon-Slaying Sword missing, but he was completely paralyzed and was carried to Longn Courier Bureau for his security.
The following events are similar to what was written in the letter of appeal from Du Dajin.
But spoken from Yin Bukui, the story is told from the perspective of the Wudang Sect.
After Yin Bukui finished telling all he knew of the story, the two had already reached the West Gate of Hangzhou City.
In ancient tis, city gates would close at night to prevent thieves and bandits from disturbing the peace, with even stricter curfews during tis of war.
However, the ga doesn’t adhere to such strict rules and prioritizes player convenience.
As Ye Weiming listened to his tale, he compared the information he heard with what he already knew.
Only after Yin Bukui finished speaking did Ye Weiming spread out his right hand to reveal two additional hidden weapons: “Are these the Mosquito Whisker Needle and Seven Star Nail you ntioned?”
Upon hearing this, Yin Bukui promptly took them for examination.
Mosquito Whisker Needle: A hidden weapon stained with deadly poison.
But since it was already used once, its poison is only one-fifth as potent as before.
Seven Star Nail: A hidden weapon stained with deadly poison.
But after being used once, the poison left on it is only one-fifth as potent as before.
There were no markings indicating which sect these two hidden weapons belong to.
But for their mission, these two weapons were undoubtedly important clues.
Without wasting any ti, Yin Bukui quickly asked, “Brother Ye, where did you find these two hidden weapons?”
Ye Weiming, with no intention to hide anything, directly answered, “On Du Dajin of Longn Courier Bureau and the bodies of his n.”
“So…” Yin Bukui’s eyes lit up, “The person who attacked and injured Yu Daidan…
our third master, and the murderer who killed everyone at Longn Courier Bureau, are the sa person?”
This wasn’t hard to guess, but having tangible evidence was a different matter entirely.
Thinking back to the man using Claw Skills he encountered last night at Longn Courier Bureau, Ye Weiming added, “To be precise, it should be the sa group of people.
Firstly, both Yu Daidan and the Longn Courier Bureau’s elites were hurt by the sa two kinds of hidden weapons.
Secondly, the attacker threatened to wipe out the entire family of Longn Courier Bureau if anything were to happen to the escorted item.
Even if there are discrepancies, there must be a connection between the two.”
Listening to Ye Weiming’s explanation, Yin Bukui couldn’t help but nod in agreent: “But how do we confirm their identity and where can we find them?”
Hearing this, Ye Weiming also shook his head and sighed, “The only clue we have now is the Dragon-slaying Sword.
Where are you planning to take ?”
“To et Zhang Cuishan, no, I should call him Fifth Master,” he said, winking at Ye Weiming.
The underlying ssage was clear – once introduced, Ye Weiming would need to address Zhang Cuishan respectfully.
Throughout history, the Storm Pavilion served as a prison tower in the Southern Song Dynasty’s Ministry of Justice.
However, it’s most known because the national hero Yue Fei was wrongfully executed there.
In “Eternal Chivalry”, the ga’s setting creates a parallel world similar to the Northern Song Dynasty, with only the Dongjing Bianliang City having a Ministry of Justice.
The Storm Pavilion is thus transford into an ordinary pavilion located outside of the city where any player or citizens can rest their feet, a public utility.
From afar, Ye Weiming could see six Wudang Sect players dressed as Taoists sitting and chatting on the grassy floor of the pavilion, while a refined young man stood outside the pavilion overlooking the scenic West Lake, starkly contrasting with the maverick players in the pavilion.
If it weren’t for the Judge’s brush and the tiger-head hook two weapons slung diagonally behind him, Ye Weiming would have almost thought that he’s a physically weak scholar pretending to be refined and cultured.
Who would’ve thought that such a seemingly frail scholar was able to hold his own against seven top experts of the Shaolin Sect all on his own last night?
“Fifth Shibo (Senior Martial Uncle)!” Yin Bukui, who brought Ye Weiming along, imdiately greeted Zhang Cuishan with a respectful fist salute.
His manner is reminiscent of the chivalrous heroes in period dramas.
Having received the respect, Zhang Cuishan turned around, with a slight nod to Yin Bukui.
He then gave a fist salute to Ye Weiming: “I am Zhang Cuishan of Wudang Sect.
I thank you for supporting so justly last night.
I had to leave in a hurry because I heard noises from the backyard of the freight transport agency, I worried that the thief would escape, so I did not have ti to explain to everyone before chasing out.
Little did I know that the opponent still managed to escape.”
With Zhang Cuishan’s status, the fact that he took the initiative to explain the situation to Ye Weiming indicated that he regarded him, a player of the Divine Man-Hunting Officer, as an equal, without any arrogance typical of a senior martial artist or rejection common against average society mbers.
Ye Weiming returned the salute moderately, and hit straight to the point: “The general situation of the case has been discussed with Brother Yin on the way here.
Details are not necessary at this mont.
These are the hidden weapons I found on Master Dujin and the guards of Dragon Gate Escort Agency.
Please take a look, Mr.
Zhang.” As he finished speaking, he held out a mosquito needle and a Seven Star Nail in his hand.
Yin Bukui: ???
I was pondering why he willingly handed such important evidence to .
He has more than one of such weapons in his possession, doesn’t he?
Wait!
Yesterday he ntioned all the guards in the Escort Agency were killed by concealable weapons like these.
Does it an that he still has a few more similar weapons in his hand?
Seeing the two hidden weapons, Zhang Cuishan’s gaze hardened.
He quickly took them from Ye Weiming’s hand for a careful examination, then solemnly said, “This is a mosquito needle and the Seven Star Nail!
The man who injured my third brother used these two hidden weapons.
It seems that the person who hard my third brother and the culprit who massacred the Dragon Gate Escort Agency are one and the sa!”
Ye Weiming nodded slightly, His thoughts aligned with Zhang Cuishan’s.
Following that, he imdiately proposed: “The Shaolin Sect is also investigating the murder of Master Dujin.
Now that we can prove that the people who hard Yu Third Brother and those who massacred Dragon Gate Escort Agency are the sa, have you thought about collaborating with the Shaolin Sect in this investigation, Mr.
Zhang?
I happen to be acquainted with a disciple from Shaolin Sect and can help with the liaison.”
On reflection, noodle man is okay, since a win-win cooperation has been found, Ye Weiming thinks it’s a good idea to involve them.
By doing this, he can do right by his friends and also utilize the combined strength of Wudang and Shaolin, which could help in accomplishing the mission.
After a mont’s hesitation, Zhang Cuishan nodded and said, “Then I have to bother Brother Ye Weiming.”
Ye Weiming gave a slight smile and then sent a pigeon letter to Lao Mian Mantou, which read:
The ones who massacred Dragon Gate Escort Agency and the one who ambushed Yu Daidan are the sa people.
I have evidence to prove it.
In short, are you interested in joining forces?
-Ye Weiming
The pigeon flew out but didn’t get out of his line of sight, instead landing on a player wearing a conical straw hat and fighting a group of river bandits at the edge of West Lake not far away.
After reading the ssage, the player appeared surprised.
After quickly dealing with the bandits, he removed the straw hat and put on the attire of a Shaolin disciple.
The pigeon flew back with the ssage: Thanks Brother Ye Weiming for rembering.
However, our mission has changed so…
sorry, brother!
During this ti, a dozen or so players fighting the gangsters at the river has changed back into their Shaolin disciple garbs and were charging towards them.
Mission changed?
Sorry?
After a mont of surprise, Ye Weiming promptly shouted, “Careful, it’s a trap!”
