The Sixteen Tones of Yanyun: the Secret History of Yanzhen

In order to find his missing master Xuanjizi, Ling Yun, a knight from the south of the Yangtze River, went north to Taihang with the Qingfeng Sword. However, he was accidentally involved in the shocking conspiracy of the Sixteenth State of Yanyun at the Xuankong Temple. Yeluhong, a Khitan man, was hunted down by Xiujinlou with a secret letter from the Yanbei League. The secret letter contained clues to the "Suppressing Yan Seal". To open this seal, four secret guard bronze talismans from Qi Yanyun were needed. From then on, Ling Yun's search for a master became intertwined with his mission to protect Yan. With his light skills of "Flowing Cloud Sword Technique" and "Leave No Trace on the Snow", he fought meticulously in Heifeng Ranch, destroyed a drug conspiracy in Jizhou Water Village, explored the secret treasure in Mozhou Castle, and fought against the Khitan army at Heishiguan. On the way, he met Beggar Gang Shi Gandang, Wudang Qingxuan, and Langya Mountain Lei Xiaotian, and even became friends with the Khitan young master Yelu Feng to transform his enemies and resolve crises such as the mind-control puzzle, the black wolf tribe's witchcraft raid, and the conspiracy of the traitorous court official. Faced with the ruthlessness of Liu Sanniang in Xiujin Tower and the ambition of Yeluxiong brothers, Ling Yun used his sword to break the conspiracy and gathered his loyalty with his heart. He finally gathered the bronze talisman and opened the seal of Yan Zhen, and even built a peace barrier between Han and Liao in the flames of war. The book uses Yan Yun as the scene, integrating the heroic feelings of the rivers and lakes with the feelings of family and country. It not only includes the wonderful martial arts battles of picking up black clothes with swords in the Hanging Temple, and cutting the enemy camp with an ax at Black Rock Pass, but also explores the good and evil of human nature and national reconciliation. Ling Yun's growth from being alone to find a teacher to uniting to protect the land can be called a heart-stirring epic of Yan Yun's guardianship.
