The Sword Tomb Has No Stele

At the northernmost edge of Qingyang Mountain, where sunlight never falls, lies a graveyard of swords. For twenty years, the nameless man swept away rust and broken sword fragments, burying every discarded blade from the martial world. Not a single word was carved on the tombstones. At dusk, as the pool's waters flowed backward, a broken blade lost for twenty years returned to the sword mound. The sword was broken, its name erased, and an old friend returned.
