Chapter 126 Nameless Ancient Sword

(My mother really pulled my internet cable last night, well, it's just uploaded now. I'm going to take the exam tomorrow, so I'll start the first update from today. After the exam on Friday, I might return to a stable 2 update... So, I'll do one thing - please vote for recommendations!!)

"Sword?" I was puzzled. How could this girl's family sword be in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang? Why would she say that there would be a sword lost in the imperial tomb?

"Yes, a sword passed down from generation to generation." The girl said resolutely: "Although the sword is not in her hand, that sword is the spirit of our family."

"Then why are you so anxious to get it back?" I asked.

"Only by retrieving that sword can I take back the position of the head of the family." The girl's tone became more firm, as if she would not give up until she did this.

The competition for the head of the family? Why do big families always have family rights competition? I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. I was about to ask what happened to the girl, but I quickly stopped talking. I would better not interfere in other people's family affairs.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Ji Lanyue, the 7198th successor of the Ji family. He has three-quarters of Chinese blood, one-eighth of Kulan blood and one-eighth of Star blood." The girl's tone was very proud. This sentence also amazes me a little. If the 7,000 successors are calculated based on about 3 in 100 years, they can be investigated for the Shang Dynasty. It seems that the history of the Ji family is not simple. Moreover, the head of the family is actually a mixed-race child...

It is because of this that I also guessed the reason why she was taken away from the head of the family - the impure Chinese bloodline. The Chinese nation, which has been through thousands of years of feudal society, still has bad habits in feudal society. In the Ji family, the big family may have a more eye for a person's bloodline. Ji Lanyue, who has Kulan blue hair and Star red hair, might be excluded by her clan members at birth, but because she inherited the top position, she still got the useless title of "head of the family".

I said, "If I guess correctly, your inheritance order was snatched by the brother or sister of the sideline family?"

"How do you understand? My cousin..." Ji Lanyue showed a surprised expression, but quickly closed her mouth.

"What else is hiding?" I said proudly: "This kind of thing is not ordinary bloody in TV series. Even if I can't guess the details, I can guess a rough idea. If I'm right, your cousin robs the position of your head of the family, and then you have to retrieve the sword of the family to increase your prestige and capital, and then take back your position, right?"

"Uh... Well." Ji Lanyue had to nod honestly after I guessed the matter.

"Okay, I'll help you get your sword!" I wonder if it was because of an impulse that I agreed to do this. After saying it, I suddenly regretted it. Am I meddling too much?

However, I quickly felt relieved. Anyway, I was going to Qin Shi’s tomb, and I would not have any burden to help Ji Lanyue take out the sword, so I might even get the favor of a big family.

"No, I want to go in alone." Ji Lanyue refused my kindness without saying anything.

"Can you get in?" I looked at the high wall outside the imperial tomb and said to her disdain: "There is infrared scanning outside, thermal spectrum inspection inside, and countless surveillance instruments. Do you think your tights and black sword can get in? Although your kung fu is strange, nothing is in front of current technology."

"I..." Ji Lanyue wanted to refute, but her face turned red, obviously she could not find any words to refute.

"Tell me the characteristics of the sword and I'll take it out for you." I held my assertion as I looked into her eyes.

Ji Lanyue looked at me, then looked at my equipment and her own clothes, and her eyes suddenly dimmed. She turned her head to escape my gaze and whispered: "No, I want to take it myself, no, I don't have the ability to be the head of the family."

"I will help you get this ability!" I wonder if it was an impulse, but I actually said such a ridiculous thing. "The sword technique you just used and the ability to see through my position completely meet the standards of entering a special military headquarters. In the special military headquarters, you can get the most systematic training, read all the information in the Kulan library, and learn from high-level people. You will become stronger!"

Ji Lanyue didn't say anything, her eyes struggled very hard, but she quickly became relieved. I don't know what she was thinking, but her eyes revealed trust and friendship.

"I won't go to the special military headquarters anymore. I don't like being restricted." Ji Lanyue refused my invitation, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed. It seems that it is impossible to recruit this expert as my teammate.

"But!" Ji Lanyue suddenly stared at my eyes, and her beautiful red pupils reflected my face. "I believe you can help me take out the sword!"

"Huh?" I couldn't help but scream, and Ji Lanyue actually agreed!

"Why?" I couldn't help asking.

"Intuition, I have always believed in my intuition. And not only that, my intuition also tells me that we can become friends." Ji Lanyue's answer was very confident. I suddenly felt relieved and did not let her enter the special military headquarters, but it was good to be friends...

"Well, we will be friends!" I nodded with a smile, and suddenly I found that I was still pressing on Ji Lanyue. Because of the previous teasing, our movements are still very warm now...

Um! I couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly turned off Ji Lanyue and turned my head aside.

Ji Lanyue stood up and her face turned a little red. She turned her head and asked me, "What's your name?"

"Meng Yexi." For some reason, I was very shy when I was about to say my name.

"I'm very happy to know you!" Ji Lanyue stretched out her hand and laughed.

"Yeah, so do I!" I hesitated for a while and held my hand up. Ji Lanyue's hand was not as tender as I thought, but was covered with calluses left by sword practice. It turned out that this is how its strange sword technique was practiced...

"Okay! Since everyone knows each other, it's time for me to talk about the appearance of my sword." Ji Lanyue shook her hand symbolically and then let go.

"Yeah!" I nodded.

"The description on the ancient family slip is like this..." Ji Lanyue suddenly stopped, thought for a while, and laughed: "I can't recite the text on the ancient slip..."

"..." I don't know what to say. Since I was coming to the imperial tomb to find the ancient sword, I couldn't even remember the appearance of the ancient sword. What is the logic?

"Hehe, don't worry. I still remember the translation." Ji Lanyue smiled apologetically and continued: "The sword has no name. When the first head of the family got it, he called it Wuming. It is said that the sword is a thing outside the sky, not cast by ordinary people, two feet and seven inches long, three fingers wide, and is transparent and purple. The sword body is engraved with array inscriptions, and strange light can be seen in the night."

Why does this sword sound so much like something in a fantasy novel? I am skeptical about Ji Lanyue's words. The sword-casting technology in the Shang Dynasty was far from reaching the standard of being able to cast crystals. What "things outside the sky" seem to be nonsense in this scientific era. But Ji Lanyue's serious look forced me to believe that this "nameless sword" is a real thing...

"I knew you didn't believe it." Ji Lanyue shook her head indifferently, as if she had guessed my reaction long ago. "But I'm telling the truth, and I also know that this sword really exists."

"Why?" I asked. I think this kind of thing should also be classified as mythology, the birthplace of ancient mythology novels.

"Because there are records in the family's historical bamboo slips, after Ying Zheng unified the Central Plains, he began to collect folk treasures. This sword from our family was also discovered. Although the contemporary family tried hard to protect the ancient sword, it was still taken away by the tyrant and the family was almost wiped out." Ji Lanyue talked happily.

"Then why are you so sure that the ancient sword is in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?"

"It is recorded that Ying Zheng used the nameless as a treasure to guard the tomb, and sacrificed the heavenly gods' weapons to the sky in order to survive forever..." Ji Lanyue looked at the high wall not far away, and her eyes became sharp.

Alas, why do you become more and more fantastic as you hear it? I became more and more helpless, and I became less sure of the sword in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. I looked at the watch on my wrist. Ten minutes had passed, and I didn't know where Alicia and Yue Liuyan had gone. I said to Ji Lanyue: "Okay, I remember it, I will take it out for you."

"Well, I'll be waiting for you here." Ji Lanyue nodded.

"No, tell me your location and I'll give it to you tomorrow." I said. "We won't be here after we come out of the imperial tomb. In order to act in a unified manner with our team, we must leave directly. So, you can go back first."

"Then..." Ji Lanyue hesitated for a while, but quickly agreed; "Okay, I'll work in the cafe opposite the gate of Xi'an Military Academy. You can find me at that time."

"Yeah!" I stood up and looked at the oranges that were drawing circles with a knife, and said to Ji Lanyue: "We are leaving, you go back first."

After saying that, I called Orange, turned on the hard invisibility and moved towards the high wall...
