Chapter 103: Devil's Island, the Holy Land of Martial Cultivation
"I'm more concerned about where these three calligraphy and paintings come from. ”
According to the memory, although Tianchenzi had many confidants in his life, he did not raise any children, and his only apprentice also became part of the raw materials of the painting scroll when his deadline came.
There is no inheritance, which means that the scroll is picked up by outsiders after it is formed. And these three scrolls were suddenly unsealed when they were registered tonight, did anyone know about the existence of these scrolls, or did no one really know about it, but just broke the seal by accident?
If someone knows, it means that someone behind them has been staring at the Xu family, and wants to reap the benefits after they are destroyed. If not, that's a different story.
Cheng Bi thought for a while and said, "When I mention this, I think of a key question, the Li family has a sect background. ”
"Oh?"
Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows, when he first saw Li Chenggong, he felt that this old guy had practiced, after all, he could still walk like a fly at this age, which was really rare, but he didn't expect to have a sect background.
"What a sect. ”
"It seems to be a sect that is proficient in fist and leg skills, what is it called Tianchen Sect. I don't know, but there is someone who definitely knows, and that is Miss Qin's bodyguard, Yueli. ”
"I forgot about her, Xu Hong, go and call Yueli. ”
"Yes, master. ”
Xu Hong left, Zhang Chen squatted in front of the fragments of the table to check, there were a total of 18 skeletons, which means that these three picture scrolls have been unsealed 18 times, because the devouring power generated by unlocking the seal can only suck a living person into the space of the picture scroll, which is why Xu Hong was able to survive.
In addition, there are also ancient books and documents, which are all books that record the customs of the original dynasty, or some officially issued books, which have no use value.
"Old man Cheng, if you like antiques, the collection value of these things is not bad, and they are quite well preserved in the scroll space. Now, if it is salvaged, it can be passed down for hundreds of years. ”
"Oh, I forgot about it. ”
Cheng Bi slapped himself on the head, and quickly called the servants outside in and asked them to put all these things into the big box in the master bedroom upstairs.
Zhang Chen followed up and took a look, the big box was quite well sealed, and there were a lot of antiques stored in it.
"I said you weren't too panicked to sleep with a bunch of people older than you at night. ”
Cheng Bi smiled, shook his head and said: "No, this person is old, and he doesn't have the impulse of his youth, and his only hobby is to collect some things with inheritance value, and prepare to give my granddaughter as a dowry." ”
"Mr. Zhang, Yueli is here. ”
At this time, Xu Hong came in from outside, and Yueli followed behind.
"Did Lan Lan sleep?"
"Just after boxing, my mother-in-law took her to take a bath. ”
"Well, tell me all the sect forces you know. It just so happens that I also want to know about the distribution of power in the Xia Kingdom. ”
Yueli nodded, and began to slowly say the division of sects she knew.
Now is the era of science and technology, all kinds of scientific research products emerge in an endless stream, and *** has also developed, and the martial arts sect has long ceased to be prosperous. Coupled with the invasion of foreign cultures, the traditional forms of survival of the Xia Kingdom are even more severe, and taekwondo, martial arts, etc., continue to squeeze the living space of these inheritances.
If the entire Xia Kingdom is still on the bright side, there are only 9 sects, and the most powerful of them are Southern Lie Fist, North Yuehua, West Golden Knife, and East Tianchen.
The Fierce Fist Sect is a sect that specializes in boxing, and over the years, the essence of boxing in the long history has been absorbed into the sect, and it can be said that almost everyone in the existing boxing method is in the Fierce Fist Sect.
Yuehua Sect is Yueli's sect, the sea is inclusive, both the body is cultivated, but also the weapons are practiced, there is no specialization, which one has the talent to practice which.
The Golden Sword Sect is also a sect that specializes in knife techniques, and its one-handed sword skills are superb, and it is rumored that their sect master can split bullets in half with a knife.
The nature of Tianchen Sect is the same as that of Yuehua Sect, perhaps because it is located in an economically prosperous area, and the number of disciples in the sect is majority, resulting in Qingyun Sect being the fourth oldest all year round.
In addition to the 9 orthodox sects, there are also crooked sects, such as the ghost gate on Wanfeng Mountain in Xiangxi, the curse gate in the depths of the misty forest in southern Xinjiang, and so on.
Most of the outstanding people of the orthodox sect are in the state department, or instructors, or special forces, and the ghost sect and the spell sect are their tracking targets. In addition to this, they also have to assist the country in preparing for the invasion of foreign forces.
"Bleak!" After thinking for a long time, Zhang Chen could only use these two words to describe it.
It's not that these sects are not competitive, but the direction of the development of this world determines that the sects must be weak. You have been practicing hard for decades, and you have just reached the realm of flying eaves and walls, and with a bang, a bullet will take your life. This kind of thing happened from time to time in the early years, and countless martial arts martyrs lost their lives because of it, including many hero-level figures.
"Actually, I feel that the current atmosphere has led to the decline of martial arts. ”
As soon as this is mentioned, Yueli talks a lot.
She feels that the people in the sect are impetuous, not to mention the younger generation, even the older generation is unwilling to stay in the mountains, and wants to enter the WTO to walk and witness this prosperous era, and some people advocate moving the sect to the city and opening a museum to teach art, which not only inherits the skills of the sect, but also allows all the disciples of the sect to enter the WTO, the best of both worlds.
"Cultivation is destined to be an ascetic practice, training skin, bones, heart and will, and if you want to succeed in the city full of temptations, maybe only 1 person out of 1,000 people can succeed. ”
"I think so too, but those guys who entered the WTO ahead of schedule still have a lot of words, saying that this is how it is done abroad. ”
"Abroad?"
"Yes, foreign mercenaries, they are both proficient in fighting techniques and thermal weapons, they can earn a lot of money, and they can enjoy the thrill of killing. There are many people in the Yuehua Sect who yearn for this kind of life. "These are all news brought back by the sect elders who returned from overseas, and Yueli doesn't like it very much.
Speaking of foreign countries, Zhang Chen remembered seeing werewolves, vampires, etc. in books and TV when he was a child, and he joked with a smile: "I don't know if there are superpowers abroad, if there are, it will be fun." ”
"This.... There really is. Yue Li's face suddenly became solemn, and she said, "I heard the sect master say that in the early years of the national war, there were people with foreign abilities, and this kind of person was responsible for the beheading operation, and he had to succeed once. Later, the national level was prepared, and they repeatedly failed.
The Suzerain had seen half-human, half-wolf creatures that appeared during the full moon season, covered in steel-hard hair, with claws, and black wings and fangs that could fly through the air.
They all come from one place, Devil's Island, which is regarded as a holy place for martial arts by all. ”
