Chapter 316.1: That Person Is Actually Still Alive!
 
The pair of violet irises that should have been bright and brimming with life was at that moment staring vacantly ahead.
The figure looked highly stiff and though it seemed to look alive as it stood there, having undergone the changes over thousands and thousands of years, except for the seemingly perfectly preserved flesh body on the surface, it was feared that the muscle groups inside had already deteriorated and were all dead.
But the sword held in his hand drew Qing Yu’s attention.
She took a few slow steps forward to get a closer look at the construct of the sword. She could barely catch a glimpse of the sheen on the metal but she was however able to discover two Chinese characters in the old traditional script engraved in the hilt near his hand holding the sword.
But as the characters were from a time that was too long ago, Qing Yu was still unable to make any meaning out of them after staring for a long time.
Suddenly remembering something, she arched up an eyebrow and then waved over the curious little toddler who was poking his head here and there inquisitively.
Look at this. How do you read these two characters?

How could she have forgotten about him? The little one had been in the Heavenly Insights into Medicine for such a long time! The Heavenly Insights into Medicine was not just a simple medical book but also contained all kinds of amazing treasures with many hidden secrets inside. Unfortunately, she was still unable to unlock all its secrets till this day.
As the Heavenly Insights into Medicine’s book spirit, the little fella could be said to be highly knowledgeable and well learned. Not only was he well versed in all kinds of medicine and poison, he also possessed knowledge of many secret happenings from far ancient times, so just asking him to recognize a couple of characters here would definitely not pose to be something difficult for him.
The little toddler peered with his wide round eyes as he leaned in close to look carefully. He then opened his mouth and read out aloud:
It seems to be….. Lian….. Shi?

Lian Shi?
Qing Yu was taken aback for a moment, seemingly a little surprised, but not really shocked to hear that, as she already had a rather good guess of the man’s identity.
But she had never thought that the name of the sword would also be called Lian Shi as well.
She remembered that she had heard directly from that man’s mouth that this
Lian Shi
had turned to dust and dissipated with the wind back then, so why is his flesh body….. doing here in the bottom of the lake?

Mistress, is there something wrong?
Zang Mai was thoughtful enough to notice the change that came over Qing Yu’s expression and he could not help but to ask Qing Yu in a concerned voice.
Qing Yu shook her head and then opened her mouth to reply:
I’m just a little puzzled. Are the two of you able to guess at this man’s identity?

Hearing that, Zang Mai’s eyes subconsciously narrowed into a thoughtful gaze for a moment before he went on to respond:
This person was initially in his demon beast form but he has now morphed into his human form. From the way things stand….. He does not seem to be fully demon as I seem to detect a sliver of….. godly aura! ?
