In the colorful mist, the old man, a national treasure, wields a knife and a pen (Later, the old man Guohua told her that the knife is a diamond carving knife that cuts iron like mud, and the pen is a tungsten gold wire pen dipped in hot melt). Sometimes it looks like a fierce battle, sometimes like playing the harp in the green fields. It is a calm and brave scene. The mist of crystal dust settled, and the old man raised his sword to examine. Dragons and phoenixes are soaring on both sides of the sword, fish, wild geese, flowers, and warblers are singing quietly, and the mountains and plains are joyful; the sword is engraved with two lines of eight characters on the gold wire, "The sword of the emperor is good in both today and ancient times." Xiao Jing was worried about the old man, but she felt as if she was trembling in the excitement of shouting and couldn't help herself. "Miss Xiao Jing, please answer that question now. Is that true?!" A loud voice came from the pyramid. The old man held the emperor's sword high and pointed to the sky; the clarity of the glass, the overflowing colors and the shocking solemnity seemed to symbolize that some kind of sacred ceremony was going on. During this ritual, she must answer questions honestly. She had no choice. "It's true!" She replied. The old man who was a national treasure nodded slightly, then picked up the pen and engraved the words "Sun Guobao" on the sword, which was as white as suet and as colorful as rainbow, amidst the swirling crystal flowers. Then, there was a long roar: "I hope that when I achieve Bodhi in the next life, my body will be like glass, clear inside and outside, pure and flawless..." Immediately everything returned to calm.

Decades later, Zhong Xiaojing worked hard to verify this fact, and the result made him sigh. It turns out that Song Mei's mother Wei Yun met college student Taihe Matsui when she was studying in Japan. Matsui graduated from Imperial University and did not pursue an official career as his father wanted. Instead, he concentrated on studying Chinese "metaphysics" in order to oppose Japan's war of aggression against China. In 1939, he came to Shitu with his father. At this time, Wei Yun had already returned to China and married Song Mei's father, Song Jinghe. Soon after, Matsui received news that his mother was critically ill and hurried back to Japan. In 1949, Matsui's father, a paper factory supervisor (supervision officer stationed at the factory), returned to China. Before leaving, he told Wei Yun that Matsui was drafted into the army the second year after visiting his mother and committed suicide by jumping into the sea on a ferry crossing the sea. Verified information shows that Matsui Taiwa was rescued after jumping into the sea, and then disappeared. Wei Yun went to Nikko Temple after learning that Matsui had been killed. The family letter kept in the niche was written by Matsui Taihe to Wei Yun. As time goes by, the humanistic, historical value and practicality of family letters have gradually become more prominent, attracting the attention of many parties at home and abroad. In addition, various forces have unscrupulously violated them, causing Zhong Xiaojing to encounter many unimaginable hardships in his life journey...
