Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 1's. Massacre And Farewell
Dark clouds in the middle of the night and rain flushed the surrounding land. Endless wars have taken place everywhere. A group of people left the village and disappeared as time passed.
•••
In a small village, the northern region was located far and far away from the Ming Dynasty Empire.
A group of black-robed warriors committed a massacre in the region. They all killed all the villagers and looted the property they had.
The small village is Turtle Village because it is located in the coastal area. Some of the people in the village were fishermen and some as traders and farming.
•••
A few moments later, it rained and a young man opened his mouth and gulped down the water dots It seemed like he was dying but still able to move and his head ached and his mind was like a faint shadow passing by.
The weakly lying Zhang Xian En finally opened his eyes and looked next to him and around so many corpses lying in a miserable condition.
Zhang Xian En finally regained his senses and slowly sat looking at the surroundings.
"Am I not dead? Is this just a dream?"
After looking around him, he finally realized that he was still alive despite dying and his body was full of wounds. He remembered something that happened before, though, and he remembered some events and his village had been attacked by a group of unknown people and all his family had been killed in the incident and he still did not know if there were still villagers who congratulations or not on this incident.
He still thought about his father, mother, brother and the villagers in his head. Suddenly, someone called out to him.
"Xian En Zhang!" Finally he was surprised and looked around and looked for the origin of the sound.
"Xian En Zhang! this is me. look here" Zhang Xian En also turned to and fro and finally he found someone who had been lying not far from him sitting down.
"Yan Xun's? you're that?" zhang Xian En stammered.
"Yes, it's me. We're still alive and dying" replied yun, forcing his mane to sound clear.
"Really, I can't believe we're still alive. Are we the only two still alive ?" zhang Xian En's
"It seems so, but still do not know if there are others who are still alive or not, at least we have to heal our wounds first" Yan yun replied.

After a few days, they got better and started moving around the village and there were no signs of life. Finally they decided to bury all the bodies of the Villagers and buried them into 1 pile.
The two men sat down and looked at all the corpses that were piling up and burning them. Eventually the two of them simply mused over the tragic fate they had gone through and were both speechless and speechless.
After some time, they finally decided to stay in the village.
" Zhang En, what are you going to do after this and where are you going? are you staying here? asked Yan yun.
Zhang Xian En was silent for a while and recalled his slaughtered family. The sadness in his eyes was clearly visible to Yan Yun.
"I will travel ! I'm gonna go wandering around looking for who's behind this whole thing. I'm going to find a teacher who can teach me swordsmanship and I heard that there's a great swordsman in the nearby forest and that was told by my father before he died. Do you want to go with me??" zhang Xian En.
"It seems like I still haven't thought about it, right now I still want to be in this village alone. If you want to wander and practice swordsmanship, Go... I will pray for you and take our revenge when you find the murderer who killed our family. May you be a great swordsman one day. I will wait for your return." replied Yan Yun

It has been 1 month since that incident, Zhang Xian En finally decided to go wandering and the first place he went to was the place of a swordsman who lived in the forest alone and had secluded himself.
The name of the elder is according to the story of his father, Elder Chao Pao.
Elder Chao Pao was the greatest swordsman of his time, but as time went on, the name of Elder Chao phao had started to disappear and only a few elders in the martial world still knew that name.
Zhang Xian En still did not know for sure who was Elder Chao Pao and what was his story like? because all this time he had only heard stories from his father who liked to tell the story of Elder Chao Pao to him when he was a child.
After preparing the provisions of his journey, he finally departed and paid a farewell to Yan Yun.
"Take good care of yourself my best friend" said Yan Yun.
"Take care of yourself Yan Yun, may we meet again "he replied.
He decided to go on a hunt to eat. After a long night, he resumed his journey. The day changed and he went on endlessly and finally he stopped at a big, thick tree. He took a break and thought he was close to where he was going.
He chose to rest because he was exhausted. While sitting under the big tree he felt cool looking at the place around him.
As he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt that there was something of energy he felt in the place he was. He woke up and felt that there was an energy under the seat. He decided to examine it and dig up the ground.
After some time after he dug for 2 meters, he touched a long box and on top of the box there was a seal or seal.
Zhang Xian En lifted him up while impregnating "What is this box?"
The young man who was holding the box then dusted the box and examined it carefully. After opening the box, he was very surprised because inside was a sword that emitted light as Zhang Xian En pulled from the scabbard.
Zhang XianEn felt something strange about it, some time passed. The light slowly faded and suddenly a whispering voice rang out in his ear.
"Young man.? You who??"
Zhang XianEn looked around while looking for where the sound was coming from. He was confused and scared to find no one.
The voice again sounded "Young man, what's your name?" Suddenly a shadow came out from his sword and appeared an old man. I guess he's almost 150.
Zhang Xian En was surprised and he jumped back while drawing out his sword.
The old man looked at the young man while stroking his chin.
"I'm sorry, if I may know, whose grandfather is this? zhang Xian En asked. The grandfather was silent for a moment and looked at Zhang Xian En deeply.
The old man finally replied, "I am the owner of the sword that you are holding the young man ! "
The young man was confused by that because only this time he saw something like this.
The old grandfather said" My name is Chao pao, just call elder Chao. I own the sword and deliberately keep it in this place. Incidentally, this big tree is the biggest tree in the forest."
Zhang Xian En was shocked and secretly hid his surprise and he realized that this old man was the one he was looking for. Zhang XianEn was confused and quickly asked her the question.
"Grandfather... Why did you appear to pull this sword from its sheath?.
"Grandfather put a small part of his inner strength and transferred a little of grandfather's soul on this sword using a technique.
"Grandfather deliberately left this sword here because grandfather is no longer a martial world person. Grandpa didn't think you'd find it here. Even grandfather didn't think any humans came to this forest" Grandpa Chao slightly explained with a smile.
His gaze was so sharp that even Zhang Xian En was frightened and began to introduce himself "my name is Zhang Xian En kek. I come from a village a little far away from this forest."
"Why are you in this place, young man? " ask elder chao.
"I'm here looking for an elder my father used to tell me about when I was a little grandpa. My father told me there was a swordsman named Elder Chao Pao who was famous for being visited in the grandfather's time when my father was alive. But my family was killed by a group of unknown people " Zhang Xian En replied while explaining his intent and purpose.
Elder Chao Pao was surprised by the story and he was silent for a moment and invited Zhang Xian En to the hut he had been living in all this time.
"Let's come with me young man". The young man followed and followed the grandfather.
*****
After walking through the forest, the elder
Chao and Zhang Xian En finally reached the front of the hut and he just looked forward. Elder Chao's hut was not big but simple. In front of him was a field and flowers were planted in front of the hut.
The shadow of Elder Chao Pao who came out of the sword the moment Zhang Xian En pulled the sword disappeared. And suddenly a voice sounded from the hut.
"Come in"
He went inside and saw the figure of the grandfather he had met earlier. "Son, you may be tired. Istrahat for a moment and clean yourself up". Elder Chao smiled kindly. Zhang Xian En then went to clean himself up.
