Chapter 381: The Secret History of the Sword Sect

Zhuhai Village is a small isolated mountain village, and it may not be an exaggeration to call it a paradise.

The village is nestled in a mountain col and surrounded by eight towering mountains. Because the cold air is kept out of the mountains, it is always evergreen all year round, and the climate is pleasant all year round. In the coldest season of the year, the outside world is already covered with snow, but here is full of greenery, and the most seen except trees is bamboo, which is probably the origin of the name Zhuhai Village.

The biggest feature of Zhuhai Village is not the pleasant scenery, but the architecture of the village. The whole village is built of blue bricks and black tiles, interspersed with several wooden houses, especially near the fields, there are several thatched houses that can only be seen in period movies. The structure of the houses still has the flavor of the ancient dragon kingdom architectural style, and several large houses still have dragon head carvings embedded in the tile roofs. In particular, in the center of the village is a lake, in the middle of which there is a Taoist temple made of blue bricks and red tiles, which is connected to the other side of the lake by a curved wooden bridge of ancient tung color. Walking on this wooden bridge, looking at the green mountains and green waters and the quaint folk customs, it will always make people feel relaxed and happy.

It is rare to see such an ancient style building complex in the Dragon Kingdom, and it is even more rare that people can enjoy the scenery and natural mountains quietly. Just like the holy place of Buddhism in the minds of the people of Longguo, the Shaolin Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, has long become a gathering place for traders and tourists, and even the square of the Shaolin Temple is full of small stalls selling so-called souvenirs. And those Shaolin disciples who so-called six roots of the earth are pure and cut off three thousand troubled threads, and they only know how to guard the merit box every day and count the money to play. Under the influence of money. The holy land of ancient temples in the thousand-year-old land is now as noisy as a vegetable market, and it has long lost its solemnity and sacredness. It's chilling. However, it is said that the real Shaolin Wuzong lineage has long left the thousand-year-old ancient temple and hid in the mountains and forests of Songshan Mountain to continue to cultivate. It's just that whether this legend is true or not, I'm afraid not many people know about it.

On the wooden bridge outside the Taoist temple in the center of the lake, look up at the simple and solemn Taoist temple in front of you. The area of the Taoist temple is not large, only about 100 square meters, and it is located in the center of the lake. There is a bluestone fence on all sides for people to enjoy the scenery in the lake. It's just that the door of the Taoist temple is locked all the year round, and I don't know what is inside or which gods are enshrined. There is a bluestone plaque embedded above the Taoist temple, and the plaque is engraved with two ancient characters of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, but 11 I can't understand what these two words are.

After coming out of the 6 Xuan house, he wandered around, not so much to hang out as to familiarize himself with the environment, which was a habit he had always maintained. 11 And he did not take to heart the words of the 6 mysteries, but came in his mind. He can only fall into the hands of the three forces. One. It was indeed the 6 Yangtuo Long family who sent themselves into the main sect of the Sword Sect. Second, he fell into the hands of 6 Qing, but why 6 Qing lied to him, it is unknown. Third, he was placed under house arrest by the Dragon Soul, and this may be the place where the Dragon Soul specializes in placing traitors under house arrest. But this possibility is the least, as far as 11 knows, the people in the Dragon Soul, especially the older generation of masters, are the most old-fashioned and arrogant, and disdain to play tricks that deceive people. So if it falls into the hands of the dragon soul. They should directly say that they are a certain group of dragon souls, and disdain to say what kind of sword sect they are.

But no matter which side of the force it is, he really can't just leave. If it's really okay in the Sword Sect, maybe when the rumors outside pass, 6 Yang will come and let him go back. But at least not yet. Because as long as he appears, what awaits him will be the attack and pursuit of various forces. If it falls into the hands of the other two forces, then don't think about it. It is already a great gift to be able to give him a certain range of free movement.

Along the way, 11 men and women, young and old, and even children the size of Douding knew how to do kung fu. The main thing is that they have steady steps and slender breathing, which is a sign that they have practiced kung fu. And a group of five or six-year-old children who ran past 11 just now were all light and did not stumble like ordinary children running outside.

This village is really a place where martial arts masters come out. 11. I was full of emotion.

When he was still in the training camp, he had heard the instructor mention the most mysterious eastern country more than once or twice, the Dragon Kingdom. As one of the four ancient civilizations, the Dragon Kingdom is undoubtedly full of mystery and legend (some people say that it is one of the five ancient civilizations, the author takes one). 11 has always been very yearning for the culture of the Dragon Kingdom, so he also worked hard to learn the Dragon Kingdom dialect and writing during the training camp. Especially after meeting 6 Yang while being a bodyguard by Ma Di's side, he was even more shocked by the ancient martial arts of the Dragon Kingdom, which also greatly increased his interest in this mysterious country. This curiosity did not fade until he came to the Dragon Kingdom, and in his opinion, this ancient civilization was no longer full of mystery after the veil of mystery was revealed. There is no Cheng DΓΉ who is full of immortals flying in the sky and running all over the ground as he imagined, and the construction and exhibition of the city are no different from other countries, so it can be said that in addition to having the dragon soul, a powerful force organization, there is nothing to mention his interest. Perhaps, as 6 Yang said, the culture of the Dragon Kingdom has long since declined, and the ancient martial arts, metaphysical Taoism, and cultivation techniques that once shocked the world have all been annihilated in history, and there is no longer the prosperity of martial arts in the past.

Maybe the era of gods flying all over the sky and masters running all over the ground in the movie has really become history.

But when he got here,11 his fading heart was once again deeply shaken. In his eyes, there are many people here whose kung fu is really not weak, especially 6 Xuan is a master in chasing the dragon soul.

Is this really just an inconspicuous poor mountain village that no one cares about? I'm afraid that if you choose a few people here to train for a while, you can become the most qualified melee fighters. Moreover, 11 believes that such a poor mountain village is not inferior to the existing three major families of the Dragon Kingdom.

"How about this temple?" Just as 1 was still thinking about the village, a voice suddenly said behind him.

Turning around, an old man about the same age as 6 Xuan appeared and stood behind him at some point. His heart sank slightly. With his perception of the surroundings, there was actually someone standing behind him and still not being noticed, then this person's cultivation could only be described as terrifying.

Although 11 was surprised in his heart. But there was still no expression on his face, just a faint look at the old man and then turned his head. At the same time, he also noticed that the villagers who were passing by nearby looked at him with awe, but when they looked at the old man, they were full of respect from the bottom of their hearts. It seems that the prestige of this old man in this village is not low.

The old man walked to 11, stood side by side with him, also looked up at the Taoist temple in the center of the lake, and said indifferently: "This sword mound was built by the ancestors who first came to settle here, and the ancestors were originally born as Taoist disciples. Grew up in Taoist temples. After settling here, he also built this small Taoist temple according to the Taoist temple where he lived when he was a child, and the ancestors originally remembered the former residence, but later it became the ancestral hall of the sect. ”

After a pause, the old man said: "This place used to be called 6 villages, but it was renamed Zhuhai Village after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Since the ancestors of the 35th suzerain moved here with their families, the children of the 6 families have lived in seclusion here for generations, and no longer care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. ”

Suddenly asked, "The people here are all surnamed 6?"

He shook his head and said, "The surname 6 is only a part. There are more than 360 households in this village. Among them, 6 families have less than 100 children. The others came here to settle down. or orphans and descendants whom we have taken in. ”

The old man looked at 11 and said, "The disciples of the Sword Sect are not really secluded from the world, every year we will have some disciples who enter the world to practice. If you meet orphans and widows who are lonely and helpless during the experience, they will try to bring them back and settle down for them, and these people will become part of the 6 villages in the future. ”

"Why aren't you a member of the Sword Sect?"

The old man smiled faintly and said, "This is different, although everyone in this village has practiced martial arts since childhood, but the real martial arts of the Sword Sect can only be learned by the people of the Sword Sect. Just like the ancient Shaolin Temple, although Shaolin's seventy-two stunts are famous, not everyone in the Shaolin Temple can practice. Only Shaolin disciples who are recognized by the Dharma Hall can practice the seventy-two stunts. ”

Glancing around with a faint gaze, he said, "In other words, these people are not from the Sword Sect?"

"Yes. They are the children of 6 Jiazhuang and the villagers of Zhuhai Village, but they are not the descendants of the Sword Sect. There was a pause. The old man asked again, "Do you want to hear about the history of the Sword Sect?"

Didn't speak. The old man also said to himself: "Our Sword Sect was founded in the early Ming Dynasty during the Taizu period, and the first ancestor 6 Yuanfeng was originally a fierce general under King Xiao Ming. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang designed to drown Queen Xiao Ming, and the ancestor was angry and wanted to lead the crowd to leave, but Zhu Yuanzhang lobbied three times, and finally said that the ancestor joined his command to work for him with the important affairs of the country. After Zhu Yuanzhang successfully conquered the world and became the emperor, the ancestors knew the truth of high merit and mastery, and resigned early in the morning, and only brought a group of soldiers who swore to the death to establish 6 villages on the edge of Taihu Lake. Not long after, in order to consolidate his throne, Zhu Yuanzhang really began to point the spearhead at those heroes who sacrificed their lives for him to fight the world. The minister of the court staff, abolished the minister, set up brocade guards, and even killed heroes under various excuses. Although the ancestor had already retired from officialdom, Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of the ancestor's prestige in the army and was not ready to let the ancestor go. At this time, Yu Shi Zhongcheng and Taishi Ling, Sincerity Bo, Liu Ji Liu Bowen secretly met with the ancestors, and not long after the two talked secretly, the ancestors opened a sect in the 6 villages and established the Sword Sect. After the 6 villages became martial arts sects, Zhu Yuanzhang really gave up dealing with the ancestors, and our 6 families have been preserved to this day. ”

The old man looked up at the two vigorous and powerful ancient characters of "Sword Shrine" written on the plaque, and only continued after a while: "Since then, the Sword Sect has become a sect in the martial arts. However, after five hundred years of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Sword Sect has always been an unpopular sect in the martial arts. It's no wonder that the ancestor Yuanfeng Gong was originally a fierce general on the battlefield, and it was no problem to march and fight, but when he was in the martial arts, his little military skills were not in the stream. The successive sect masters of the Sword Sect have long been aware of this problem, so each sect master has taken it as their responsibility to collect the martial arts of various sects and create the Sword Sect's own exercises, and even does not hesitate to send the children of the 6 families to other sects to learn the arts. It's a pity that the Sword Sect has spent hundreds of years to get only the superficial surface of the martial arts of each faction, but those true essences have never been able to get a glimpse of it, so the Sword Sect has always been among the nine-rate sects. Until the thirty-fifth suzerain. The situation was improved by the birth of the 6th Changming Gong. Changming Gong was sent to Wudang to learn art since he was a child, and returned to the sect after his sword art was successful. After more than ten years of closed doors, he sorted out the rough and shallow martial arts of various factions collected by the Sword Sect for hundreds of years, and finally created the Heavenly Wolf Thirteen Style Sword Moves and unique internal skills with his extraordinary talent. After that, the Duke of Changming relied on the thirteen styles of the Heavenly Wolf to walk the rivers and lakes and had few opponents, and the Sword Sect finally came out of the woodwork. Unfortunately, it's not time for me. ”

The old man sighed: "At that time, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the allied forces of various countries forced Huaxia with the intention of carving up the land of our Dragon Kingdom. At that time, the various martial arts factions formed their own resistance organizations, and the people of the Changming Sect led by the Emperor of the Sword Sect were also among them. They fought more than ten battles with foreigners. He killed many enemies, but was forced to retreat every time he suffered heavy losses because the opponent had a firearm. Moreover, the Qing government at that time was really incompetent, and only knew how to blindly cut land and seek peace. Changming Gongkong has the heart to save the country but has no owner to vote in, and finally led 6 families to take refuge here. After this, Changming Gong finally became ill and died of illness soon after. And the thirty-sixth sect master set a door rule, all my Sword Sect disciples, no longer care about worldly things. Since then. The Sword Sect is truly secluded. However, among the thirty-seventh disciples, there was a martial arts wizard comparable to the Duke of Changming, that is, the master Bo 6 Men Yang Gong, and this rule was broken. At that time, the Sword Sect gave birth to a secret history of Xinmen, and was known as the master Bo Yang Gong, who was another generation of martial arts wizards under the Sword Sect since Changming Gong, and the fourth master uncle, who was also a traitor to the Sword Sect, and the two of them left 6 Jiazhuang one after another. The fourth master and 6 Qing have not been heard from since, and the master has come back decades ago, only saying that he has joined a certain organization of the state. Then he left with his son, and the father and son never returned. ”

Although he listened expressionlessly, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He guessed that the secret history of the 6 Yangdi Sinmen might have something to do with his fiancΓ©e, who later became his younger sister. It's just that why did this old man call 6 Qing a traitor? Did they know about 6 Qing betraying 6 Yang? Or did 6 Qing betray the Sword Sect before? In addition, why did the two brothers 6 Yang and 6 Qing leave the Sword Sect back then? 6 Why did Yang join the Dragon Soul? This old man called 6 Yang a generation of martial arts wizards of the Sword Sect. Could it be that 6 Yang's previous kung fu was really powerful? It wasn't until he was designed by 6 Qing and Ma Di that he didn't look so conspicuous after he abolished his skills? Or did he deliberately hide it? 11 only knows that 6 Yang has a granddaughter who is married to Long Haiyou. But he never heard him mention his son, who was his son, and where is he now?

As if this qiΔ“ a qiΔ“, 6 Yang and 11 never mentioned. Before, he didn't think there was anything strange about this old man who was over a hundred years old, but now he realized that this own teacher, the third-generation master of the Dragon Soul, actually had so many unknown secrets.

"6 Yang ...... He's the thirty-seventh Sect Master?"

The old man glanced at 11 with a strange expression, shook his head and said, "No, he is not the sect master. Master Bo was obsessed with martial arts all his life, and he only liked to practice behind closed doors, and was unwilling to take over the position of suzerain. Originally, the position of the suzerain would be taken over by his younger brother, that is, the fourth master Bo 6 Qing, except for the master uncle, but there were some things in it, and finally the position of the suzerain was succeeded by the family master. After the death of the family teacher, the sixth senior brother succeeded him as the sect master, but unfortunately the sixth senior brother was greedy for quick success and quick profit, and wanted to achieve higher achievements than Changming Gong and the master uncle, but as a result, he cocooned himself and died young. After that, 6 Xuan, the most outstanding of the thirty-nine generations, took over as the thirty-ninth sect master. ”

said: "What happened to 6 Yang and 6 Qing back then?"

The old man shook his head and said, "This is the forbidden history of the Sword Sect, and it must not be mentioned again." If you want to know, just ask the master himself. ”

The two of them seemed to have their own concerns, and stood side by side on the wooden bridge in silence.

After a while, 11, who was looking at the two big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing on the plaque, suddenly asked, "Why is this called the Sword Shrine?"

The old man smiled faintly and said, "This is the rule of the Sword Sect. The people of the Sword Sect mainly practice swords, and sword training must be based on heart training. The thirty-fifth suzerain, Chang Ming Gong, set up a door rule after moving here, all the people under the sect must love the sword as their own, and always remember that the sword is in the person, and the sword is broken and the person dies. In order to make the disciples pay attention to the long sword in their hands, all the disciples of the Sword Sect must forge a sword with their own hands and wear this sword for life. Until the death of his disciples, the long sword he wore was enshrined in the sword mound along with the immortal tablet. ”

The old man said, pointing to the Taoist temple in front of him, and suddenly smiled: "In fact, the sword is in the people, and the admonition that the sword breaks and kills is the local rule of the martial arts. Not long before he died of illness, he was still recasting his wolf sword by the sword-casting furnace, but unfortunately the wolf did not finish his work, and the person had passed away. After that, the thirty-sixth sect master locked the unfinished Sirius Sword and the Changming Gong's immortal card into this building, and nominated the sword shrine. Since then, this sword mound has become the ancestral hall of the Sword Sect. ”

Note: Regarding the five ancient civilizations, it seems that the world recognizes the five ancient civilizations, namely ancient China, ancient India, ancient Greece, ancient Babylon, and ancient Egypt.
