19. Sect inheritance

Because I accepted the internal strength of Master Wu Yazi's Northern Spiritual Skill, plus my own hard cultivation on weekdays, I learned Wu Xingyun's unique martial arts very quickly, and in just a few days, I had basically mastered the essence of Wu Xingyun's version of Folding Plum Hands, Six Yang Palms and Life and Death Talismans. In fact, I can't say that I practice hard, but the top Taoist martial arts are all about integrating cultivation into daily life, such as walking, sitting, lying posture and mental method have a certain degree of exquisiteness, be sure to make the internal force run along the fixed meridians all the time, although this is not like the evil martial arts by leaps and bounds, but the victory is in the water drop stone wearing, the foundation is solid, and because the whole body is kept in the state of cultivation, it is easy to recover from injuries, and you can maintain your peak state when you are old, just like the three elders of Xiaoyao, People in their nineties are still at the level of the top masters of martial arts, fighting and killing all day long, and they are extremely energetic......

Wu Xingyun exclaimed: "The stinky boy is talented and intelligent, and his understanding is extremely high, that's it, it's even more rare that he has a deep fortune, and he can get the skill of Wuyazi and my careful cultivation, if grandma can have your chance back then, maybe he will be able to go to the next level and compete with Cihang Jingzhai and Changsheng Valley." ”

My heart moved, and I hurriedly asked, "Uncle Shi, I have also heard Shizun mention Cihang Jingzhai and Changsheng Valley, what kind of sect is that?" What are some of their stunts that make you value them so much? ”

Wu Xingyun pursed his lips and said: "Actually, it's nothing remarkable, it's just a group of pretentious fools, if it weren't for the bad luck of the teacher, the fate of the canopy, when I was the only one to respect the cultivation of martial arts, I was framed by Li Qiushui and fell on the junior brother of Wuyazi, with the qualifications of the master, I will definitely be able to beat those white road fools who have no one in their eyes to bow down." However, since you have inherited the Xiaoyao Sword, then there are some things that Uncle Shi has to mention to you, maybe Wu Yazi told you, but I started early and knew more than him. ”

Wu Xingyun closed his eyes and breathed a few breaths, recalled, and said slowly: "The black and white forces in the martial arts have a long history, and some sects can even be traced back to before the Spring and Autumn Period, and even the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, these are not examinable. However, in the pre-Qin era, a large number of brilliant sages were born, and they founded their own doctrines in order to solve the troubled times at that time, including Taoist Lao Zhuang, Confucian Confucius and Mencius, Mojia Mo Zhai, Legalist Han Li, Yin and Yang Zou Yan, Zonghengjia Su Qin Zhang Yi, etc., as far as I know, the founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni, also began to preach in the Western Regions during that period. ”

In order to spread their own ideals and beliefs, different schools of thought began their own open and secret struggles, established their own forces and gradually derived different sects and branches, although some prominent sects have died out, but other sects or branches can inherit their mainstream beliefs or Taoism and continue to spread, this is the origin of the two veins of power and demons. Although the founding of Cihang Jingzhai began at the end of the Han Dynasty, the ancestor and martial arts inheritance they recognized was a strange woman called "Dini" in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The founding of the Immortal Valley was even later, but it was three hundred years ago, but the longevity recipe they inherited is said to have been written by Guangchengzi during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, which cannot be verified, but it is certain that the background is quite profound, and the master's exclusive merit has a great relationship with the Immortal Valley. The various sects of the Demon Sect, such as the Flower Sect, the Holy Pole Sect, the True Legend, and the Star Sect, are said to come from the Demon Gate's "Heavenly Demon Strategy", and they have a steady stream of inheritance, like the Flower Sect has a special custodians of cheats; The Holy Extreme Sect is good at Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa inheritance, which is the most weird; True Legends and Star Sects are secretive, like rats, even if you find their lair, you can't cut off their roots.

Our Xiaoyao faction adheres to the concept of the unity of heaven and man, and is at ease, and many of the practices of the Demon Gate are unbearable, and the countless struggles for thousands of years have doomed us to have nothing to talk about with the Demon Gate, and we are killed when we encounter them. But the so-called righteous leaders led by Cihang Jingzhai and Shaoyang factions, these sects have done a lot of shameless and dirty deeds in private under the guise of doing the way for heaven, taking advantage of the world's desire for peace and justice, and in the end it is not to achieve their own unsightly goals, in my opinion, Cihang Jingzhai is actually no different from the Demon Gate, they are just competing for hegemony in the world, Cihang Jingzhai also likes to put gold on his face, hum! ”

"What's even more disgusting is that Cihang Jingzhai's martial arts focus on breaking first and then standing, only the heirs who have gone through the test of secular love can truly comprehend the supreme martial arts Cihang Sword Codex, and reach the realm of sword heart Tongming, which is destined to make every generation of Cihang Jingzhai a beautiful woman who is like Daji who troubles the world. That's fine, but the men who were dumped by the descendants of Cihang Jingzhai often fell into a depraved state of mind, and their cultivation was stagnant in their lives, and some even couldn't stand the blow and were willing to fall. What is the difference between this kind of practice of harming others and benefiting oneself and the demon cult of collecting yin and supplementing yang? ”

I quietly listened to the secrets of these ancient sect forces, and when my uncle stopped, I asked, "What about the Immortal Valley?" Where is this sect? Why is it that the Lipai has been able to keep pace with Cihang Jingzhai and my Xiaoyao Pai in the past three hundred years? ”

Wu Xingyun had a yearning expression on his face, and said: "The Immortal Valley is quite special, their sect is stationed near Shudu in Sichuan, and they have a deep relationship with Cihang Jingzhai and even my Xiaoyao Sect, they usually take a neutral position, generally do not participate in secular disputes, and are chasing the goal of immortality. ”

I interjected, "Immortal? That's probably an ethereal legend. No one has ever succeeded in the past, just as Qin Shi Huang, who owns the world, has never succeeded. ”

Wu Xingyun shook his head and said, "There is no absolute thing in this world, and it is not uncommon for us Taoist kung fu to practice to the extreme and live for hundreds of years. Grandma's cultivation of self-esteem is evolved from part of the "Eternal Life Formula" of the Immortal Valley, the Immortal Valley inherited the ancient Guangchengzi, and borrowed from the martial arts essence of many other sects, their potential is strong, and the elders in the sect who practice in the world do not know how many, but they don't like to compete with others, so they don't show up in the world. Just like grandma's martial arts cultivation, if you go down the mountain to challenge the Shaolin Temple, the first major school in martial arts, I'm afraid that no matter how deep their background is, it will be difficult to find an opponent, but grandma is still competing with children when she is old? ”

I nodded yes, and said, "Uncle Shi, you said that if you weren't lucky, you would be able to compete with Cihang Jingzhai, Changsheng Valley and other forces, what did you rely on?" As far as I know, these two major schools are unfathomable, and I am afraid that it is difficult to compete for the unearthly exercises. ”

Wu Xingyun glanced at me with a smile and said, "You still can't help it after all, just come with me." ”

So I went to the back mountain with her, and arrived at a place similar to a cave, through a long passage, during which Wu Xingyun closed a lot of hidden weapons, and finally opened a stone door, stopped and said to me: "Senior nephew, here is the secret book of martial arts left by many ancestors and masters I sent, and it is also the biggest reliance of my free faction to dominate the world, if you can understand several stunts in your lifetime, then you can choose Cihang Jingzhai and Changsheng Valley on behalf of my faction, hahaha." "Uncle Shi must have suffered Cihang's losses before, but he was very happy to think that I might inherit the mantle of my ancestor.

I followed Wu Xingyun into an open stone room, only to see that the four walls of the rock polished very smooth, the stone wall carved with countless diameter and length of the circle, each circle carved a variety of figures, some are portraits, some are beast shapes, some are incomplete words, and some are just marks and lines, the circles are marked with numbers such as "A one", "A two", "Zi one", "Zi two", "Zi 2", if the number of circles does not exceed a thousand, there are at least eight or nine hundred, and then the stone carvings inside are even more disorganized, some are just faint scratches, But I don't know what the meaning is.

I raised the torch, carefully looked at the stone carving graphics on the circle, and recognized that the first circle marked "Jiayi" is the starting style of Tianshan Folding Plum Hand, Jiayi is the second trick of Tianshan Folding Plum Hand, after the folding plum hand diagram is completed, it is the diagram of Tianshan Liuyang Palm, and all kinds of song secrets are in the circle. I haven't learned the martial arts after the Tianshan Six Yang Palms, but the subtlety and mystery are not under the first two stunts.

Wu Xingyun stroked the stone wall and said proudly: "The martial arts secrets in the entire stone wall circle are all personally portrayed by me by collecting the martial arts skills of the ancestors of the previous generation of the Xiaoyao School, and we have produced many masters of the Xiaoyao School for generations, and there are many talented people who have created a variety of martial arts skills that shake the world, although the master can not be compared with his predecessor, but he has collected and sorted out most of the martial arts skills of the ancestors, which can be regarded as a great achievement." ”

I nodded again and again, holding the torch and browsing backwards one by one, "Respect for me", "Ling Bo Weibu", "Spring Breeze and Rain Sword Technique", "Broken Jade Fist Method", "Ice Heart Jue", .......etc., etc., these are relatively complete, but when they get to the back, they are more and more messy, not only are they not engraved in the circle, but they are like childish graffiti, left and right, some even cross large walls, and there are neat words "Soldiers are arrayed in front".

I was slightly stunned, but when I looked closely, I felt that there seemed to be some mysterious change hidden in these messy strokes, but after looking at it for a long time, I felt that there were too many possibilities for change, such as this stroke, should it be a sword technique or a knife technique? Does the depth of the depiction represent the degree of capacity of the force? There is also this horizontal that seems to represent the running route of a certain martial arts mental method, and there are many intervals on it that seem to be regarded as meridian acupoints - these should be some martial arts perceptions, but there are no specific mental tricks, I am afraid it is difficult to form a systematic exercise, and it can only be used as a reference.

I was about to turn my head and ask my uncle, but I saw her say a little solemnly: "These are the places where the earlier ancestors felt and founded martial arts, like this wall, although the lines are messy and complicated, it is said that it contains the "scattered hands and eight pounces" of Ning Daoqi Ancestor, when Ning Daoqi Patriarch was the first person in the Central Plains with only this stunt, ranking among the four great masters in the world, and he had never been defeated in the world hundreds of years ago. You must know that at that time, there were many martial arts masters in the world, which can be called the era of martial arts wildflowers, whether it is a decent or evil faction, there are many grandmaster-level masters, but unlike the current decline of martial arts, a few cats and dogs dare to open a sect, and they are known as the first in the world after learning a few kung fu. ”

"Sanshou Eight Flutter is the kung fu of Ning Daoqi's ancestor in the Central Plains, and its essence is taken from the "Nanhua Sutra" written by Zhuangzi in the early Warring States period. Thousands of infinite changes are all attributed to the eight essences, the moves are as you like, there is no definite law, such as the imagination, not subject to any constraints, the situation is like riding the clouds freely, the flying dragon is wonderful.

It's a pity that over the years, although our Xiaoyao faction has also produced a lot of talents, but no one has been able to fully comprehend the essence of Master Ning's scattered hands back then, but you have been inherited by the junior disciple of Wuyazi, and you are blessed with a higher starting point than us, I hope you can comprehend it above. Every stroke here has its inner truth, although no one can fully comprehend the eight flutters of the past generations, but also benefited a lot, not to mention, grandma's Tianshan folding plum hand is from the stone carving of the eight flutters of the scattered hands to comprehend. ”

I nodded slightly, and I was deeply shocked by the heritage of the Xiaoyao School in my heart, so many martial arts skills, such a profound inheritance concept, no wonder it can span thousands of years without falling, it seems that the core inheritance of Taoism really has a set. However, it is not a matter of time to comprehend the eight strokes of the hand, and although the silver hook iron painting on the stone wall is very attractive, I still forcibly look away to look at the next stone carving.

But I was deeply attracted by this stone carving, this is the last stone carving, at the innermost end of the cave, the whole wall has only one big seal "sword" word, deeply engraved on the stone wall, the silver hook iron painting horizontal, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, across the millennium according to the rare kind of sword qi that destroys the world and destroys the earth, suffocating. The interplay of strokes is endless, self-contained, and seems to be not only destruction, but also an inner vitality. Containing the power of destruction and life, this, isn't this the sword technique of heaven and man? When I looked at it more closely, I felt that this sword character had a powerful control, firmly binding the powerful power of destruction and life in a few strokes, and the calligraphy alone had a touching beauty.

I stroking the sword strokes on the stone carving in a daze, it seems that I can still feel the sword qi flowing in my hand, it turns out, it turns out that the heavenly and human sword tricks I comprehended before are all wrong, the real heavenly and human sword tricks should not be driven by their own internal forces, but through strong constraints, communication of heaven and earth Yuan Qi can achieve the effect of destruction and rebirth, but how should I have the ability to communicate with heaven and earth Yuan Qi? I was deeply lost in thought.

Seeing this, Wu Xingyun said: "Well, Wu Yazi has taught you the Heavenly Sword Technique, yes, this is the essence of the Heavenly Sword Technique, and it is also the only inheritance of the ancestor who founded the Heavenly Sword back then." But the ancestors of the past did not pay attention to pictures and texts, and the core essence only left this one sword word, if you understand it, you will understand, and if you don't understand it, you won't understand. It can only comprehend on its own, and cannot be taught or learned, and although it is extremely powerful, it is also very difficult to comprehend. And my sect has door rules, only the head of the sect who holds the Xiaoyao Sword and inherits the Taoist system of the Xiaoyao School can cultivate the Heavenly and Human Sword Technique, and those who violate the door rules and practice often go mad and die. Presumably, Wu Yazi has already taught you the key to the Heavenly and Human Sword Technique, so it is most appropriate for you to comprehend the Heavenly and Human Sword Technique Stone Carving here. ”
