A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 48 – Story of Silence Time
"What shall I do to repay your infinite kindness."
"Don't overdo it."
The fisherman's grandfather hugged Sung Han tightly, without feeling his tears fall down Sung Han's clothes on his shoulders. In such a state, his mouth kept whispering.
"Luckily, the world still has good people like you....."
Sung Han just kept quiet while hugging the grandfather back. While Bu Cai, only able to hold haru while looking away.
"That meat and warm water dish last night was more than enough. Ever since I left my teacher's residence, I've never eaten so well." Sung Han said after a long silence, "Also the room and the blanket, are comfortable and warm."
Bu Cai and this grandfather felt deeply moved. They didn't know if Sung Han was exaggerating or was being honest, but the truth was that last night's dishes and beds were far from decent.
Sung Han is treated to fresh grilled meat because there is no seasoning, as well as accompanied by boiled river water so that it can warm the body. For his own room, he was just idled and covered in dry hay grass.
"I'm going to go" he said pushing the grandfather's body slowly. If this is not done, I don't know until when the grandfather will continue to hug him.
Sung Han turned his gaze towards Bu Cai who had just been silent. "Someone who taught you silat, but my message takes care of your grandfather."
Bu Cai only nodded briefly.
"Then I say goodbye, may you always be healthy" he said later, turning and turning peegi. Leaving his grandfather and a grandson in that rickety house.
...****************...
It would be strange to know only Sung Han's way of life without looking at the current state of the world. Therefore, let's look at the vast land where Sung Han lived.
At that time, the central leadership was held by the emperor Chang Song Bian. He was famous for being a wise, decisive and tough man. Even silat and his talent in literature can not be doubted.
But, at this time was not the golden age of the Chang empire.
A long time ago, after the Battle of Black and White was over, the Chang empire stood with its first emperor named Chang Song Jie. At that time was the best and most successful time in the northern and southern lands.
No black faction swordsman dared to die against the Chang empire whose strength was boundless. The existence of a pair of White Dragons and Shadowless Vendors as well as many other true warriors, made Chang's imperial position at that time extremely strong. It was then that a time was created called the golden age of Chang.
But a few years later, there was an invasion from people outside the mainland. The great empire to the east was conducting a massive invasion of the Chang mainland. They came from the Jeiji Empire.
They're tough, very tough. The first place affected by the invasion was along the east coast of the mainland. Then continued to go west until it managed to colonize half the land.
It was during this Jeiji imperial invasion that Shuji the eclipse sword forger appeared and shook the entire martial world.
However, the empire was successfully expelled after several years of colonizing the country Chang. Of course with tremendous sacrifice. Thousands and even millions of people died in the war of expulsion of the invaders.
This battle is known as the War of History. I don't know who named it, but everyone thinks it's like that.
After the war, the state of Chang's government changed completely. Patriot figures of ancient times many died or disappeared, replaced with corrupt humans and seek their own satiety. Since then, there have been various rebellions.
For many years, it was finally muted after the appointment of emperor Chang Song Bian who managed to crush the rebels, although until now there are still some. Including the nobles who "bend" the tax money.
One of them was his own son, prince Chang Song Ci, who was located at the eastern end of the northern mainland. And there was another one, one who was very much against the prince, that was Chang Song Zhu's daughter. Located in the southern part of the land.
And right now, the two people were busy gathering as many warriors as possible to help strengthen the position. Either who was stronger, the prince Song Ci the rebel, or Song Zhu's daughter the defender of the country.

The distance between him standing up to the wall there may take about an hour, but from here alone it has seen a lot of people going back and forth. Whether it's walking or carrying a cart and a horse carriage. Sung Han slowed down his path, just to enjoy the atmosphere.
As he expected, about an hour later, he arrived at the gate of the capital. Must be willing to queue up and be sun-baked to enter the capital.
When his turn came, he was confronted by two guards, one of whom thrust a palm. "One gold coin."
"Huh, crazy!!" sung Han's voice was involuntary and spontaneous.
The guard looked unhappy, as did the people around him who became shocked.
"Yes, he's gone there! We don't have time to serve a wayward son like you!" cynical reading, "next!"
"Wait!" Sung Han interrupted, "Hey, where can the entrance fee of the city be up to one gold coin? This is the name extortion!!!" Sung Han grumbled.
One of the guards approached angrily, "You're looking for a storm here? Pay if you want to come in!!"
According to his heart, he actually wanted to argue again. But when he saw the ministers had been chattering this and it cursed Sung Han who was considered too long, he became heartless and finally disappeared also one gold coin was charged payment to enter the gate.
Gold coins that he had gotten out of nowhere, he suddenly accidentally found them in the folds of his waist pants. Secretly he regretted why not pass the fence by jumping alone, is not it quite easy for him.
While walking with his feet agitated, his mouth chirped, "Fuck, shit, motherfucker!! It's the capital, but does it make sense? One gold coin went in the gate, you corrupt bastard!!!"
He actually did not know what his purpose was coming to the capital. He came here only because he wanted to obey his heart.
But some time walking, on the outskirts of the city street is very crowded with people and this traffic, he saw one interesting thing.
In front of a luxurious building, sat a well-dressed middle-aged man once. Even though everyone here looks nice.
But the man was dressed like a man of letters, complete with his hat and a quill. He spoke eloquently singing poems and poems to be paid for by the entertained audience.
Sung Han was interested not because the person was a poet, but because some of the sentences in his verse were.
"The inheritance of three kings has been found...."
"Black sun sword out of nowhere, the red moon sword has been seen....."
"Everyone goes looking...."
Sung Han turned his head and found a lot of people dressed in swordsmen swarming around that person. Some are crouching, standing, sitting or even lying on their sides with their hands as a headstool.
His mind immediately worked to digest each word, until inadvertently a conclusion emerged.
"Have the Moon Eclipse been found?"
