The Heroic General of the Southern Tang Dynasty——meeting Lai Tao Across a Thousand Years

As the most famous ancestor of the Lai clan, Lai Jingxing has heard about the deeds of General Lai Tao since he was a child. In the troubled times of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he guarded the south of the Yangtze River with gold and iron, and was unparalleled in his loyalty and bravery. He was the pride of the Hakka sons and the spiritual totem passed down by the Lai family for thousands of years. In the Hall of the Sages, a brief introduction to the life of General Lai Tao is displayed, as well as a treasure of the temple - an incomplete bronze sword. It is said that it was used by the general in the battlefield. After thousands of years, the sword body is mottled, but it still exudes a murderous aura. After the ancestor worship ceremony ended, the clan members dispersed one after another. Lai Jingxing stayed alone in the Sage Hall, quietly staring at the fragment of the sword. The sword body is covered with green patina, and the blade is incomplete. The vague word "Lai" and simple patterns are engraved on the hilt, which seems to tell the story of the iron-blooded years of thousands of years ago. Lai Jingxing stretched out his hand and gently brushed the blade of the sword. There was a cold and rough touch on his fingertips, and his heart was filled with reverence and emotion. He has studied the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty for many years and is well aware of the turmoil and tragedy of that era. After the death of the third generation of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the literary style was at its peak but the military equipment was weak. Countless loyalists were buried on the battlefield, and General Lai Tao was one of them. There are very few records of this Hakka general in history books, and only the Lai family genealogy and ancestral hall inheritance remember his loyalty and bravery. "The ancestor general guarded the land in troubled times and was loyal and loyal for thousands of years. The descendants rely on Jingxing to worship him." Lai Jingxing bowed and saluted, with the sword fragment still attached to his fingertips. Just then, something strange happened.
