The person who came was indeed Blind Liu. He came on a sword, which not only alarmed the mobile sentries inside and outside the village, but also alarmed the brothers Pingnan Wang and Weidong Lei Jiang who had woken up early in the morning.
People get less sleepy as they get older. When he heard the commotion outside, King Pingnan didn't have time to put on his armor, took the iron spear on the rack and strode out of the tent. He thought it was the allied forces attacking, but he didn't expect that the one coming was the Southern Prime Minister who pacified the Central Plains in the past.
He threw away his iron spear and stepped forward, pushing a golden mountain and overturning a jade pillar. He knelt on one knee before Blind Liu, his eyes filled with tears, and said in a deep voice, "This general greets the military advisor!"
When Blind Liu came down the mountain to assist the late emperor, he was nearly thirty years old. King Pingnan was a few years younger than Blind Liu and had not risen in the army at that time. His official position was lower than that of Ma Xiaomai today. He was just a centurion. He gradually became famous as a new force because of his bravery in combat.
Now he is a prince and the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but when he sees Blind Liu, he still calls himself a lowly general. This shows how high Liu's status was in the eyes of the soldiers back then. Wei Dong and Lei Jiang knelt on both knees.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly!" Blind Liu put away his sword, stepped forward to help Prince Pingnan up, and then went to pull Weidong and Lei Jiang. "I am just a commoner now. Please don't shorten my life. I still want to live a few more years."
Huo Jincheng and Xiao Shi also knelt, and the soldiers inside and outside the camp also knelt on the ground. They had never seen the Southern Prime Minister, but they knew his reputation. Blind Liu flicked his wide sleeves, and the wind blew up, blowing the soldiers to and fro.
"Get up, everyone. Don't waste my breath as an old blind man." After leaving the palace, Blind Liu first wandered around aimlessly, going wherever he went. Later, he remembered what Jian Ning said about the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, so he went to various countries in the Western Regions.
All he saw along the way were uncivilized long-haired barbarians. When he felt bored and planned to return to the Central Plains, he accidentally discovered utensils used by the Central Plains people in the barbarian tribe. These utensils were from the Qing and Yan countries during the Five Kingdoms period.
When Blind Liu asked around, he learned from some long-haired barbarians that they had entered the Luobo Kingdom on a full-moon night and exchanged it from the Luobo people.
Luobo Country was a mysterious land, built beneath the yellow sands and emerging only on full-moon nights. Blind Liu also learned from them that there were also people in Luobo Country who dressed like him.
Upon hearing this, Blind Liu was intrigued. He hired a long-haired man as his guide and spent half a month in the desert. On a full-moon night, he saw a glazed city rising slowly. Such a wonder truly existed. In Luopo, he met the Central Plains people the long-haired barbarians had described. They turned out to be veteran immortal cultivators who had been as famous as his master in the Central Plains martial arts world.
At that time, Blind Liu was very excited, thinking that his master had also come to Luobo Kingdom. However, it turned out to be a false alarm. His master Wu Yunzhu had a title called Cloud Fairy, and those senior immortal cultivators all recognized his master.
Blind Liu used two episodes of "Journey to the West" to pry open the mouth of an old immortal master. He told Blind Liu that since he didn't see his master's body, it was very likely that his master had gone to another time and space.
He also told Blind Liu that the city lord had a cloud-piercing mirror. With the help of the moonlight at midnight on every full moon night, he could see which time and space his master went to on the day he left. All he had to do was drop a drop of his master's blood on the mirror.
However, there is a prerequisite for using the Cloud-piercing Mirror. You must know the divination techniques in Qi Men Dun Jia, and after passing the city lord's assessment, you must swear an oath with blood. You must stay in Luobo Kingdom for the rest of your life to calculate astronomical formulas. You can only rest when the castle rises on the night of the full moon, and even then you cannot leave Luobo Kingdom.
Blind Liu asked several seniors to take him to meet the city lord. The city lord was a woman wearing a golden mask and sounded very young. Blind Liu said that he could stay in Guobo Kingdom for the rest of his life, but after seeing the Chuanyun Mirror, he had to return to the Central Plains first. He had to go back and explain to his apprentice.
He originally thought that the city lord would most likely not be flexible, and if that was the case he would have to give up. However, he did not expect the city lord to agree immediately, saying that as long as he could pass his assessment and swear an oath with blood, he could leave, and the deadline was one year.
Blind Liu agreed.
After he passed the test, the city lord took out the Cloud-Piercing Mirror and asked him to swear an oath with his blood.
After Blind Liu finished his oath, the drop of blood began to spread on the mirror. When it covered the entire mirror, the city lord chanted a spell to lead the full moon above the castle to the mirror. As the moonlight flowed in the opposite direction, pictures gradually appeared, one scene disappeared and another appeared. They were all Blind Liu's past, like a thick book. All the people around him and the things he had experienced in the past were reproduced one by one.
When Blind Liu saw Emperor Yongping on his deathbed, and the generals who had fallen in the glorious past, and saw the familiar faces of the past come alive in the mirror, tears streamed down his face.
Soon time went back to the day when his master left. When he saw Wu Yunzhu, who was wearing a plain dress and looked fairy-like, Blind Liu shouted "Master" and fell to his knees involuntarily, watching his master disappear into thin air with tears streaming down his face. Then, a group of people in strange clothes appeared in the mirror, and many people were riding two-wheeled bicycles coming and going on the street.
Blind Liu recognized the bicycle; he had seen it before in the north, but the bicycle the person in the mirror was riding was different from the one he had seen in the north. Then he saw a group of people gathered on the street. There seemed to be a person lying on the ground. Someone in the crowd was shaking his head as if sighing.
Then, a beam of white light descended from the sky. Those who were watching seemed to miss it, but Blind Liu saw it clearly. It was none other than his master, Dark Cloud Pearl. The crowd suddenly dispersed, and several people stepped forward to help the person on the ground. When their face was revealed, it was a woman in her fifties.
Although he looked older, Blind Liu still recognized him at a glance, it was his master Wu Yunzhu!
The mirror image was frozen on the surface of the dark cloud bead, slowly fading until it disappeared.
Before midnight, Blind Liu left the Glazed Castle and flew back to the Central Plains on his sword. He could only travel at night. After entering the Central Plains, he heard about the invasion of Yan Dynasty by the coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms. After knowing that the Dayan army retreated to Qishan outside Xing'an County, he rushed over overnight.
Prince Pingnan invited Blind Liu into the central military tent and asked him to take a seat. Blind Liu waved his hand and said, "I am just a commoner now, how can I sit in the position of commander? Don't be nosy, just sit down and relax. I will sit here."
When Huo Jincheng was about to call Ding Youtian to get up, Ding Youtian and Jian Ning had already heard the news and rushed over.
"Master, why are you here?" Ding Youtian asked when he saw Blind Liu.
Blind Liu was displeased when he heard this, his face drawn. "Why, do you have to approve whether the old blind man comes or not? Don't you want the old blind man to come?"
Ding Youtian touched his nose, glanced at Jian Ning, then looked at Blind Liu and said, "If the disciple says he is not welcome, can Master transfer?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" His words frightened the Prince of Pingnan. He didn't even bother to glare at him, but looked at Blind Liu first.
