A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 7 – Be a Good Person
Unwittingly by Sung Han himself, the practice of meditating under the sun and moon endlessly strengthened his body inside out. The moonlight makes the blood circulation clean and smooth. While the sunlight strengthened his bones and marrow, so that his body was now much stronger than most children his age.
Sung Han had absolutely no idea of the development of his body state, he only felt that his inner power was much stronger than before. Even so, this child did not dare to refute Xiao Shi Yong's orders and continued to meditate without eating and drinking.
As for his own teacher, all this time did not mean that he was relaxing and doing nothing. Quite the contrary, he tried hard to make a new sword sheath for Sung Han.
About a month later, Xiao Shi Yong climbed onto the cliff and saw the thin, unkempt body of his disciple. But he smiled knowing the development of his students who did not mess around.
"Sung Han's..."
Sung Han was suddenly aghast when he felt his left shoulder being patted by someone. As soon as he opened his eyes, the first sight he saw was that his teacher was smiling gently at him.
"You did well my student, now let's go home and eat."
Sung Han just followed along as his teacher went down the cliff and headed to his cottage. When he arrived at the simple cottage, it turned out that there were so many dishes served, something that made Sung Han quite surprised because during his time here, he was never treated to dishes as luxurious as this.
"Eat until you are full."
"Teacher, this is.isn't it too much?"
"What's wrong, you just spend it."
Sung Han started to eat the food and he was shocked, it did not taste better with the food provided by the professional chefs in White King, it was even better.
So unconsciously, this young man ate very greedily regardless of his teacher who was still smiling. He also did not realize that the sword that had been carried by his teacher had changed shape, at least in the sheath of the sword.
After eating, the young man was shocked at himself, unaware that he could afford to eat as much food as he could. Before he could speak, his teacher had already said.
"Sung Han, do you know what this sword is?" xiao Shi Yong asked.
Sung Han looked at the sword and realized that the sheath had changed. "Teacher, the old feeling of the sheath shape isn't like this? There are many beautiful carvings."
"Indeed, I have replaced it because this sword, on this day, will change owners. That is you." he said as he stroked the pitch-black sword sheath.
If previously there were a variety of beautiful red carvings, now it is much different. Turned into a plain black color without carving, but it looked very smooth. Presumably Xiao Shi Yong was quite an expert at this.
But Sung Han did not pay any more attention to it because he felt that there was a difference in every utterance of his teacher. I don't know if he feels different. Therefore, Sung Han was only able to remain silent.
"As promised, today, after you have completed your training, you will know your teacher. Well listen carefully."
These were the moments Sung Han looked forward to the most, his motivation and encouragement in training this time was for an introduction with his teacher. All this time he had never known a single bit of his teacher, except what he had seen all this time. So this young man listened attentively.
Xiao Shi Yong, is a name given to his father named Xiao Tsun, son of the last daughter of one of the ruling families, the Xiao family of the South.
She has a twin sister named Xiao Shi Yan, someone who grew up and was strong with her. But they had to separate when the two became warriors and began to wander throughout the land.
That's when the world of emergency beggars will appear a warrior from another land who claimed to be named Shuji. Seventy-year-old grandfather who shrewd not play.
He was armed with a pair of swords called the Pair of Eclipse Swords. As the name implies, one sword is called a solar eclipse, and another is called a lunar eclipse.
After his death, the pair of swords disappeared somewhere. But there are rumors circulating that the pair of swords has been cursed by Shuji himself, as a sword maker.
Which is where the curse will make whoever the owner of this sword later, will kill each other if the two owners are the same sex. But it will be united in the marriage bond if the two are different types.
That was when, Xiao Shi Yong managed to get the sword of the solar eclipse and unbeknownst to him, his older brother named Xiao Shi Yan managed to get the sword of the lunar eclipse. The curse is active.
At one point, Xiao Shi Yong was forced to kill his older brother who was considered to have been a thief. Her heart was sad and grieved as she left after burying her brother's body.
But what made him even more sad was, when he heard from someone who said.
"The Curse of a Pair of Eclipse Swords isn't just that. But there's one more thing: the owner can't die unless he's killed. Before the sword has an heir, then the previous owner will not be able to die."
At first he did not believe it, but reality remained true. Until one hundred and fifty years later, when all his friends and companions had gone to the next realm, he was alone still languishing in this world. And it didn't seem to age at all since he first held the handle of the solar eclipse sword.
From that day on, he tried hard to find the disciple as well as the heir of the sword. And only after a few hundred later, then he met Sung Han who turned out to be a match with this sword.
"Well, will you accept this sacred sword? I'm too old to live in this world and I'm tired of it." the closing sentence of Xiao Shi Yong's story was spoken softly and mutely.
It was still too difficult for Sung Han to digest his teacher's story like that of a fairy tale. His eyes widened and his face was pale, his lips trembling with the founding of the Roman feathers.
"So, is this the teacher?"
Seeing the hopeful gaze of his teacher, and hearing how as long as his teacher had always been tortured for never dying, he became moved.
But if he held the sword, then the curse would come down to him and inevitably he would have to kill the owner of the Moon Eclipse Sword or marry the owner of the sword. This is destiny!
"I don't believe in curses! I'll break the curse!!" he said in his heart with determination.
Finally after thinking for a while, he received the sword from his teacher's hand. In addition to obeying Xiao Shi Yong's orders, he also felt very curious and angry with the curse to make his teacher tormented. Makes his teacher believe such a foolish phrase.
He considered his teacher could live hundreds of years just because of fate and indeed God did not want him to die. And about his young face, he considered that because his teacher's magic was too high it could reach that level.
Sung Han does not realize, and does not understand himself, that all thoughts are not based on reality and logic, instead, he aims to calm himself down because his heart begins to feel afraid if only he fared the same as his teacher.
"Well, look how beautiful the sword in your hand is."
Sung Han gulped his saliva with great difficulty because anyhow, this sword gave off a powerful gripping aura. When he held the sword hilt, his heart trembled and his hands shivered.
"Devil sword, this is no ordinary sword!!"
When the handle of the sword was pulled and showed half the blade, then he was aware and like forgetting everything. His eyes widened to his amazement with the sword.
The eclipse sword blade of the sun was pitch black, black as if light was unable to fade its color. But the beautiful carvings are dark yellow almost to red it gives off dim lights that are amazingly beautiful. He was hypnotized by that sword beauty that was completely incomparable in this world.
"Sung Han listen to me.Never pull out that sword except in urgent circumstances. The sword is a treasure that everyone fights for, lest anyone know of its existence. I made a new scabbard so that no one would know. May you mate with that sword and not lead you into the pit of error."
Sung Han quickly turned his head when he heard his teacher's voice growing hoarse and weak. Then he was shocked to learn that the wrinkles on his teacher's face were getting more and more and in an instant the face turned into the face of a man in his sixties.
"Teacher!" pekik Sung Han was shocked.
"My last message, no matter if you're black or white, but stick to my message. Be a good man, and if the owner of a lunar eclipse is a good man, while he is a man just like you, then throw away the sword!" he said it continues to weaken and age.
"Remember Sung Han..be it...people....."
"Teacher....!!!"
