Chapter 65, the Fallen Sword Sect
The people in the rivers and lakes are happy to take revenge. It seems to be chivalrous and courageous. But since ancient times, in the eyes of those in power of all dynasties. The so-called heroes of the rivers and lakes. It's just a reckless puppet.
There is no other reason, those so-called famous and decent. Most disciples are thousands, and as few are hundreds. Just ask, such a group of people who don't do anything to produce, but only know how to fight bravely. How do you make ends meet? It's not about strong martial arts. Do something that ordinary people can't do?
Take the Huashan faction as an example, at its peak. More than 1,000 disciples. There are dozens of first-class martial artists and hundreds of second-rate martial artists. There are also the world's number one swordsmen like Feng Qingyang. Beat the four factions of Songshan, Hengshan, Taishan and Hengshan. It is the veritable head of the five mountains. There is a faint momentum to keep pace with Wudang and Shaolin.
For more than 1,000 disciples, the monthly food and clothing is a huge expense. What's more, treat the cultivation of inner disciples and in-house disciples. It's not just about teaching martial arts. It is also necessary to consume a lot of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other things that replenish qi and nourish the yuan. Sometimes a disciple goes out to experience walking the rivers and lakes. It is impossible to come out empty-handed. Calculate them one by one, and want to support a sect. It simply cannot be done without deep financial resources.
And the financial resources of a sect are nothing more than three paths. The first is the ancestral property of the sect. Take Shaolin, the martial arts Taishan Beidou, as an example. There are a lot of fields under the Shaolin Mountain that belong to the Shaolin school. Among them, there is naturally the Sui and Tang dynasties. Shaolin Temple has been rewarded for helping Qin King Li Shimin many times. These fields, although the Shaolin Temple is a monk of compassion. However, renting it to ordinary farmers for cultivation also requires a certain amount of land rent. What's more, Shaolin, Wudang and other martial arts Taishan Beidou, there are tens of thousands of believers. The amount of sesame oil per month is also not to be underestimated.
In addition to this source of wealth, there is also the fact that every famous and decent family will accept the heirs of some prominent businessmen as apprentices. After all, whether it is the Han Dynasty or the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the class concept of Shinong industry and commerce is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. And businessmen naturally have to go south to the north to get benefits. In this way, in the process of doing business. It is inevitable that you will encounter bandits, horse bandits and the like. If there is a child from a famous and decent family in the family. Then you can solve a lot of troubles.
The last one is within the boundaries of the sect. The filial piety of the dart game, and the so-called chivalrous righteousness. Gain the filial piety of the merchants in the area.
To put it bluntly, the so-called Jianghu sect. With the black in the real world. It doesn't make a difference. It's just in the name of righteousness that ordinary people can accept.
Cheng Bu Worry, Cong Bu Abandonment, and Feng Buping, since the civil strife of the Huashan faction more than 20 years ago. He left the Huashan faction and lived in seclusion on the outskirts of Fengyang City.
Since ancient times, there have been princes and princes, and history has always been in the hands of the victors. As losers, Cheng Bu Worry, Cong Bu Abandonment, and Feng Buping, who are the same generation as Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong, after leaving the Huashan faction, it is equivalent to losing the resources of the sect. Lost everything.
Outside the city of Fengyang, smoke curls from three inconspicuous farmhouses. In the courtyard of the farmhouse, three teenagers over the age of eleven or twelve. Under the guidance of Feng Buping, who was dressed in coarse cloth and black, he meticulously practiced the basic swordsmanship of the Huashan School.
On the other side, Cheng Bu and Cong Bu, who were dressed in coarse cloth and black, did not abandon the two. I'm trying my swordsmanship. Although the two are over forty years old, their swift body is as fast as thunder. Although the two of them had ordinary iron swords in their hands. Between the swings, the sword aura was swirling. The sword qi that burst out, and when it collided, it could actually stir up the surrounding air into ripple-like lines.
A cup of tea, Cheng is not worried, Cong does not give up, you come and I go back and forth between attack and defense, and there are already hundreds of moves. Neither of them could help the other.
The swords are staggered, and the two of them are not worried, and Cong does not give up.
'Smack..' A muffled sound was heard. Cheng Bu Worry and Cong Bu gave up when their palms touched, and a cyclone erupted. The two of Qihoo took advantage of this cyclone to retreat.
Cheng does not worry, Cong does not give up, and the two of them fall steadily to the ground like ethereal willow leaves.
Glancing at each other, Cheng Bu smiled loudly and said, "Senior Brother Cong, your "Mixed Yuan Gong" is more powerful than last year. It seems that you have put in a lot of effort, junior brother."
Shaking his numb palm, Cong Buqi smiled and said, "Senior brother is too famous, although my "Mixed Yuan Gong" is powerful, but compared to Senior Brother's "Holding Yuan Jin", it is slightly lacking in stamina.."
He was also a disciple of the Huashan faction of the 'no' character back then. Cheng Bu Worry, Cong Bu Abandonment, and Feng Buping, the three disciples of Huashan's 'Sword Sect' who entered the room back then, practiced the "Mixed Yuan Gong" and "Bao Yuan Jin" among the nine gongs of Huashan.
Since it can belong to one of the nine gongs of Huashan with "Zixia Shengong", "Mixed Yuan Gong" and "Holding Yuan Jin" are naturally good.
Those who practice "Mixed Yuan Gong" have strong and strong internal strength, like stormy waves. Those who have cultivated to the fullest level of "Holding Yuan Jin" have long been lacking in internal strength.
But Huashan Jiugong, Zixia is the first. This sentence of the martial arts people's evaluation of the Huashan faction is not in vain.
"Zixia Divine Skill" is a practice that only the heads of the Huashan School can practice. Although the cultivation speed was three points slower than that of "Mixed Yuan Gong" and "Holding Yuan Jin" at the beginning. But once you have accumulated enough Zixia True Qi, you can penetrate the Twelve Righteous Ways. After breaking through the Yang Seesaw Vein, Yin Stilt Vein, and Yang Wei Vein and entering the realm of second-rate martial artists. As long as the cultivator has enough talent. Promoting to a first-class martial artist is never a problem. And after this "Zixia Divine Skill" is promoted to a first-class martial artist and enters the room, when the majestic Zixia True Qi spreads out of the body, it can form a protective body. When attached to a weapon. Able to stir up the sword. Compared with "Mixed Yuan Gong" and "Holding Yuan Jin", it is naturally three points stronger.
Feng Buping, who pointed out the cultivation of the three disciples, saw that Cheng Bu was worried and Cong Bu gave up the battle and the two were tied. He ordered the three disciples to rest separately. turned around and walked towards Cheng Bu and Cong Bu Wai.
"The two junior brothers' "Mixed Yuan Gong" and "Holding Yuan Jin" have already entered the hall, and they will be able to achieve success after eight or nine years of training. At that time, it will be the time for the three of us to go back to Huashan to get everything back! Feng Buping said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Cong Buqi and Cheng Buxian nodded in unison. At that time, the 'Sword Sect' was defeated by the 'Qi Sect', and the 'Qi Sect' on the winning side forced Feng Buping, Cheng Bu Worry, and Cong Bu to swear a poisonous oath. Unless the 'Sword Sect' regains the position of the head of Huashan. Otherwise, they are not allowed to walk the rivers and lakes in the name of the Huashan faction.
In the past 20 years, Cong Bu, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, has wandered the rivers and lakes. You can imagine how much suffering you have suffered.
In order to regain the position of the head of Huashan, he was ashamed. Cong does not give up, Cheng does not worry, and Feng Buping is the three of them, and they have been cultivating for more than 20 years. That hard work is definitely not inferior to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, who became the head of Huashan.
"What Senior Brother Feng said is that once I wait for the martial arts to be completed. It is the day to avenge the fellow sect of the 'Sword Sect'. Hum.. Back then, the ** deceitful villain of the 'Qi Sect' used a trick to lure Uncle Feng to Jiangnan... bribed a singer and pretended to be everyone's ladies. Temptation Uncle Fengshi.. In the end, Uncle Feng was depressed. When the 'Sword Sect' and 'Qi Sect' face off, they can't rush back! Otherwise.. How can there be Yue Buqun, that hypocrite sitting in Huashan? Cong Buqi said coldly.
"Hmph. Yue Buqun, a hypocrite, has a virtue with his master. Sooner or later, there will be a day. I will slay him by the sword! Cheng Bu shouted in a deep voice.
Scolding Yue Buqun and the despicable and shameless 'Qi Sect' seems to have become a topic that Cheng Bu Worry, Feng Buping, and Cong Bu abandon often vent.
Feng Buping looked at the three disciples who were resting not far away, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Jian Wu, Jian Qi, and Jian Feng are three people with good talents. Now it's time to boil up my muscles and bones, and prepare for my brother to go to Changbai Mountain in a few days and get some ginseng back. It takes about two or three months to go back and forth. During this period, I bothered the two juniors and disciples to urge them to cultivate."
"Senior brother, don't worry, there are me and Senior Brother Cong. The cultivation of the three sword warriors will definitely not fall behind." Cheng is not worried about the right way.
