Chapter 13: Gu Yunzhao
Chuhe dragged his robe over Hanjue's bare shoulders before the lantern reached the bottom step.
He stood up in front of him, in his trousers and nothing else, with his fists closed.
Elder Pei came down slowly, one hand on the rope rail.
Two Sword Hall guards followed him in deep blue, with their swords half drawn.
Pei looked at the two of them without any surprise at all.
"You need not dress for me," he said. "I have seen much older things than this in this room."
"Where's Yan?" said Chuhe.
"At the top of the stair, with six of my men and his uncle's key in my pocket."
"He is unhurt."
"He shouted a great deal."
Pei set his lantern on the anvil.
Under his other arm he carried a black book, thick as a brick, tied with a cord gone brown.
"Do you know what you are looking at, Shao Chuhe?"
"A mould."
"A mould for a man. Let me read you something, since your companion has begun to remember."
He untied the cord.
His voice was dry and even, the voice of a man reading the grain prices.
"In the ninth month of the first year, I, the Founder of this sect, took my apprentice Gu Yunzhao, aged twenty-four years."
"I forged him alive into the blade that guards this mountain."
