Chapter 159: The Truth of Being a Man

Nie Chen turned around, only to see Xia Chunqiu standing not far behind him, a pair of bright eyes looking deeply at him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Don't ask, let him go. ”

Xia Chunqiu said.

Nie Chen saw that since Xia Chunqiu had spoken, he must have a deep meaning, so he withdrew his spiritual power from the other party's mind.

I only heard Xia Chunqiu say to the disciples of Huangtu Academy: "The disciples of my Hongwu Academy are all brothers of the same sect, and they should support each other and advance and retreat together, but some people are strong and competitive, bullying their fellow disciples. If someone dares to come to my Sword Sect to make trouble next time, I Xia Chunqiu will fight this old face, and I will take this person down and send him to the senior brother in charge to seek justice!

After speaking, with a wave of his sleeves, he walked towards the main hall of the Sword Sect Branch, and after taking a few steps, Xia Chunqiu suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice in the other direction: "Look at the lively people, you can also go." ”

This sentence came out of Xia Chunqiu's mouth, but it was sent straight into the ears of Zhu Ling and the others, Zhu Ling stuck out her tongue, turned around and waved her hand to the crowd behind her, "Let's go, we have been discovered." ”

At this time, the disciples of the Emperor Atlas Academy were supporting the injured Tang Yun in the direction of their branch, and in the distance, Jiang Qingyun was standing on a high place looking at the scene in front of him, the look on his face was both angry and surprised, and then, he squeezed out two words with hatred: "Waste!"

……

When Nie Chen and Ying Kun had just returned to their residence, a disciple of the Sword Sect came to knock on the door: "Nie Chen, the master has told you to go to the inner hall immediately, and he is waiting for you there." ”

Nie Chen sent off the disciple who had sent the order, so he said goodbye to Ying Kun and walked towards the inner hall of the Sword Sect alone. When he arrived at the door of the inner hall, Nie Chen saluted respectfully and said, "Nie Chen asks to see you." ”

A calm voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Nie Chen pushed the door in, and there were two people sitting in the inner hall, one of them was Xia Chunqiu, and the other was Dugu Ming.

"Do you know why I let Tang Yun go just now and didn't let you continue to investigate?" Xia Chunqiu got straight to the point.

"I don't know. Nie Chen shook his head.

"If you continue to ask, the contradiction between our Sword Sect Branch and the Emperor Diagram Branch will become even more intense. Without asking, you know that the mastermind behind this matter must be the old boy from Long Yuantu. After speaking, Xia Chunqiu glanced at Nie Chen deeply and said, "Because our Sword Sect Branch has robbed him of the source of life. ”

Nie Chen nodded: "It seems to be the case." ”

"Can you tell me, why did you come to Hongwu Academy?" Xia Chunqiu asked directly.

"I want to fight for the opportunity to go to the country of Buddha. Nie Chen replied.

"Is it for Bodhidharma?" Xia Chunqiu asked.

Nie Chen hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and said truthfully, "I'm going to find someone." ”

"Oh, I see. Xia Chunqiu nodded.

So he continued to ask: "Since you want to get that opportunity, you should choose the most powerful Imperial Map Branch, why do you insist on coming to my Sword Sect?"

Nie Chen thought for a while and said, "Maybe the Sword Sect is more humane." ”

"Hehe, the human touch...... In the face of absolute strength, favors have long become worthless. Xia Chunqiu sighed a little gloomily.

"Master, I have a question. Nie Chen suddenly asked.

"Just ask. Xia Chunqiu looked at each other with bright eyes.

"I heard that the Sword Sect Branch and the Sword Hidden Branch were originally created by two peak martial artists of the continent, but why have they fallen now?" Nie Chen's voice carried a hint of puzzlement.

Xia Chunqiu raised his head and thought for a long time, and said slowly: "That was a long time ago...... Hundreds of years ago, Hongwu Academy originally had only five branches, namely Huangtu, Crazy Dragon, Jiufeng, Hongshan, and Sunset. But later, two powerful warriors appeared in Cangzhou in the Northern Underworld, one named Xia Jiuzhou and the other named Xu Guang, both of whom were under the cultivation of the Yuan Emperor, even compared to Lu Fenghou, the dean of the Hongwu Academy at that time. ”

"Emperor Yuan?"

Nie Chen couldn't help but be secretly surprised, that Yuan Emperor powerhouse was an existence above Yuan Zun, and its strength was terrifying, it was unimaginable.

Xia Chunqiu nodded and continued: "They found Lu Fenghou, the dean of Hongwu Academy, and said that they wanted to establish two branches here, one was the Sword Sect, which specialized in teaching swordsmanship, and the other was Daoyin, which specialized in teaching swordsmanship, and later the dean readily agreed. At first, because of the guidance of these two masters, the strength of the two branches of the Sword Sect and the Sword Hidden Academy was firmly in the first place among the branches!"

Speaking of which, Xia Chunqiu's eyes were looking into the night sky, and there was a flush on his face, as if he remembered the prosperity of the past, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Then Xia Chunqiu shook his head and continued: "But I don't know what the reason is, one day these two people suddenly left without saying goodbye at the same time, leaving only thousands of disciples in the two branches, and the martial arts and mental methods they taught at that time were also incomplete. But twenty years later, those incomplete mental techniques and martial arts have become stumbling blocks that hinder our progress, and gradually, the strength of the Sword Sect and the Sword Hidden Academy has been surpassed by other branches, and it has become the current situation. Especially now, because I know that there is no result, those incomplete mental techniques and martial arts are rarely cared for, so they are gradually about to be lost, while the martial arts and mental techniques of other branches are becoming more and more refined, so it has led to today's situation. ”

"No wonder these two branches have fallen, it turns out that Master Zu is gone. Nie Chen said secretly in his heart.

At the same time, he asked, "Is there something going on?"

Xia Chunqiu sighed and said, "Maybe." ”

Nie Chen thought about it again, and then spoke: "Then as disciples of the Sword Sect, do we have any treatment that is different from other branches?"

Xia Chunqiu thought for a moment, and then said, "You, like the disciples of other branches of Hongwu Academy, can enjoy the daily supply of ten Wang Pin Yuan Dan, and ...... else?"

Xia Chunqiu smiled awkwardly and said, "You can also refer to the martial arts and mental techniques left by our Sword Sect Ancestor at will, but as I said just now, they are incomplete......

"Damn!"

Nie Chen felt depressed in his heart.

"Also, in the future, Dugu Ming and the three of you will be personally instructed by me, so I will not arrange another mentor for you. Xia Chunqiu added.

"But the three of us don't seem to have used a sword before," Nie Chen was a little embarrassed.

Xia Chunqiu's face gradually became serious: "I know that with the talent of the three of you, no matter which branch you are in, you have the ability to enter the top ten of the whole academy, but in addition to swordsmanship, I have a lot to teach you." ”

"Oh, what is it?" Nie Chen couldn't help but say solemnly.

"For example...... The truth of being a man!" Xia Chunqiu said categorically.

"Bang dang!"

Nie Chen and Dugu Ming fell at the same time.
