Chapter 50: The Discussion Conference

The big fish took the bait, the three of them flattered each other, and Zhang Zhenbian was comfortable with the sycophants, and the three of them asked what Zhang Zhenbian knew everything, and said everything.

Found the nearest town, Gongsun Qi found some good wine, Chu Xiang and Shi Wuzheng hunted some beasts, and soon the wine and barbecue were in place. The three of them ate and drank together, Zhang Zhenbian didn't cover his mouth at all, as long as he was happy, he would talk to the three of them about everything, talk freely day and night, and after two days, the martial arts vision of the three people was completely different.

After communicating with Zhang Zhenbian, Chu Xiang knew that above the refining marrow was Dan Jin, and above Dan Jin was the virtual realm, Qin Santong, Chen Ying and Zhang Zhenbian were all masters of the Dan Jin level, according to what Zhang Zhenbian said, he and Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi could be regarded as entering the Dan Jin realm.

With the experience of his predecessors, it is much stronger than his own exploration, and Chu Xiang can't even understand his own state during this time, but Zhang Zhenbian can speak it clearly in a few words. Sometimes when the interest comes, Zhang Zhen runs away, from the scenic valley, to the gurgling stream, to the top of the mountain where the ice and snow have not melted, while visiting the beautiful scenery while guiding the martial arts of the three people, what he has learned and knows is unreserved.

Chu Xiang and the three of them learned quickly, Zhang Zhen taught for two days, and the things in his head were almost sucked dry by the three of them.

"It's really terrifying!" Zhang Zhen sighed, already a little drunk, threw away the wine bottle in his hand, pointed to the sea in the distance and said, "We are still far away." ”

"Remember the teachings of your predecessors." Chu Xiang said respectfully, understanding what Zhang Zhenbian meant, the sea is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great.

"Okay, I've talked about everything I can, there's nothing more to say." Zhang Zhen said, got up and floated away, without nostalgia, very chic.

Looking at the direction of Zhang Zhenbian's departure, for a long time, Gongsun Qi said: "Why is he so unreserved." ”

Chu Xiang sighed and said, "Because he is a very smart person, and he is also a very stupid person." ”

"How?" Gongsun Qi said suspiciously.

"He is said to be smart because he is really smart, and he fully understands what Senior Qin means, and he says that he is stupid because he doesn't want to know too much, he just wants to concentrate on martial arts, and he wants to make himself stupid." Chu Xiangdao.

"Yes, he's not as impulsive as he seems." Gongsun Qi nodded, he understood this in the past few days.

"Senior Qin asked me to see the jade slip and give the sword to Lao Shi, but he didn't do any good, because he knew that these were responsibilities, Senior Qin understood him, knew that his strength didn't need superfluous things, just needed him to concentrate on martial arts, he also understood Senior Qin's thoughts, and understood that the responsibility he should have borne was borne by us, so he guided us so carefully." Chu Xiangdao, he couldn't be sure that this was the case, but he could be sure that it was a major reason.

"That's probably a reasonable explanation, but I always felt like they were coming for you in the first place." Gongsun Qidao, seeing Shi Wuzheng in a daze, Gongsun Qi shouted: "What do you think, old Shi? ”

After coming out of the cave, Shi Wuzheng has been silent.

"It's a heavy burden." Shi Wuzheng sighed.

Seeing that Shi Wuzheng frowned, Chu Xiang asked, "Something on your mind?" ”

Shi Wuzheng sighed again and said, "Yes! ”

"What's the matter, let's give you a staff officer." Gongsun Qidao.

With a long exhalation, Shi Wuzheng said, "Do you know who the people in the stone room are?" ”

"Who is it?" Gongsun Qi hadn't seen the jade slip and didn't know the situation, so he immediately asked.

"Wudang Patriarch, Zhang Sanfeng." Shi Wuzheng said with a solemn expression.

"How do you know?" Chu Xiang was a little surprised, Shi Wuzheng hadn't seen Yu Jian, he hadn't said it, Song Ming, Chen Ying, and Qin Santong hadn't said it, he actually knew.

Gongsun Qi's eyes were about to bulge out, and he shouted, "How is it possible." ”

"Do you know what kind of sword this sword is?" Shi Wuzheng said.

Chu Xiang and Gongsun Qi both shook their heads.

"Seven Star Dragon Yuan." Shi Wuzheng's word by word.

Hearing this, Chu Xiang was shocked, looking at the quaint long sword on Shi Wuzheng's shoulder, his jaw was about to fall.

"The last owner of the Longquan Sword is Master Zu." Shi Wuzheng explained.

"That doesn't prove it either." Chu Xiangdao.

"The portrait of the ancestor has been hanging in the Jade Void Hall for hundreds of years, and it is exactly the same." Shi Wuzheng said.

Chu Xiang somewhat understood Shi Wuzheng's sorrow, and he didn't realize that Zhang Tong was Zhang Sanfeng, the ancestor of Wudang.

"I see." Gongsun Qidao, he understood why Qin Santong gave this sword to Shi Wuzheng, Shi Wuzheng was so cautious when he took the sword, obviously he already knew it at that time.

"That's why Senior Qin gave you the sword." Chu Xiangdao.

"Yes, Senior Qin must know the truth." Shi Wuzheng said.

Chu Xiang didn't know how to answer, because he also knew, but he didn't think about it.

"Don't worry, even so, there's nothing to worry about, we'll help you take care of it." Gongsun Qi patted Shi Wuzheng's shoulder and said.

"Yes." Chu Xiang echoed.

"I know. But thinking about it, I can't help but hesitate. Shi Wuzheng sighed. Longquan Sword, Seven Star Longyuan, this is the sword of the sage, not a sword that ordinary people can use, the previous masters are not ordinary, and being able to use this sword is his chance and a test.

Knowing Shi Wuzheng's concerns, Chu Xiang said seriously: "There are some things, whether you know it or not, we have to take the same path." ”

Thinking carefully about Chu Xiang's words, Shi Wuzheng quickly understood the meaning, and his eyes became firm, but he was still a little puzzled, wondering why Chu Xiang said it so vaguely, and asked, "Is it because you can't say it?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Xiang nodded, and Qin San gave the order to kill.

Listening to the two of them playing dumb riddles, Gongsun Qi was very curious and asked, "Can you remind me a little?" ”

"Gongsun, you have become stupid, Wudang Patriarch." Chu Xiangdao.

After a moment, Gongsun Qiyi patted his head and said, "I've really become stupid." ”

"It's okay, not stupid." Chu Xiang smiled.

"Yes, I'm going to hold a discussion conference in Wucheng, are you interested?" Chu Xiang opened the topic.

"On the Tao Conference, you can have it, count me in." Gongsun Qi's eyes lit up, he liked to be lively.

"I'm not going." Shi Wuzheng hesitated.

"Why don't you go, it's not that I ask you to teach Wudang Gongfa on the spot, just talk about the Tao, talk about your own martial arts, share your own experience, and let more people improve." Gongsun Qidao actually fully understood Chu Xiang's thoughts.

"It seems to be the same, so let's go together." After thinking about it, Shi Wuzheng said.

"Strike while the iron is hot, just noon the day after tomorrow, and I will inform them to spread the news." Chu Xiang immediately set a time to contact Changsun Yue and asked her to spread the news.

The plan was agreed that the three of them did not rush back to Wucheng immediately, but sat down on the spot to sort out their thoughts, absorb what Zhang Zhenbian had said in the past two days, and really use it for their own use.

After receiving Chu Xiang's message, Changsun Yue was both excited and apprehensive. Since the last martial arts lecture, several sisters have been hacked and tortured and interrogated, but in the end they were all secretly rescued, and I don't know if it was Chu Xiang's hand.

With a little uneasiness, the eldest grandson Yue quickly spread the information and posted a notice in the Half Moon Pavilion: At noon on May 23, Chu Xiang greeted the masters of the Quartet in the Half Moon Pavilion to discuss martial arts.

As soon as the news came out, Wucheng was shaken, the first two lectures on martial arts were already a sensation throughout the country, what kind of discussion conference was held this time, and what earth-shattering judgments Chu Xiang made, it was really curious. The streets and alleys were discussing the upcoming conference, and the headlines on many websites quickly turned into content related to the conference, and many people even made a special trip to Wucheng from other places to see the grand occasion of the conference.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, the dark tide surging in the martial city, as the time of the discussion conference approached, the entire martial city was filled with a tense atmosphere, what will happen this time, countless people wait and see.

Before dawn, the Half Moon Pavilion was already surrounded by crowds, the dense crowd formed a circle with a radius of hundreds of meters, the crowd was still increasing, the surrounding trees, walls, and rooftops were full of people, and the grand occasion was not inferior to the martial arts conference.

The TV station personnel who received the news occupied a rooftop position with a good view early on, unmanned cameras, bracket cameras, and all kinds of equipment were laid out in a row, and the live broadcast had begun in real time just after dawn.

At dawn, the place within a few hundred meters of the diameter of the Half Moon Pavilion had been occupied by the crowd, fortunately, the eldest grandson was prepared, and before the large group of listeners flocked to the high point, he circled the vacant seats at the high points around him, and put the signs of reserved places in the lecture hall, otherwise he didn't know how the strong people who came to talk about the Tao would settle down.

As the crowd grew, when it was almost noon, the Half Moon Pavilion was already crowded with people listening to the lecture within a diameter of seven hundred meters, and what was surprising was that hundreds of thousands of people were crowded into this narrow place, and they were all silent, all waiting quietly, without half a bit of noise, as if the Half Moon Pavilion had magical power, and there were many disciples of various sects and alliances.

With the passage of time, when it was almost time to talk about the Tao, countless masters floated in and appeared in the reserved position, and those who dared to occupy the reserved place were all people with deep breath, and some masters who could not find a place to stand could only stand on the branches of trees, lightning rods and the edge of the wall and other places where ordinary people could not stay.

When Chu Xiang came, he was taken aback by the situation at the scene, the crowd was surging, and he couldn't squeeze in a few hundred meters away from the Half Moon Pavilion, so he had no choice but to jump up and step on people to enter.

Crossing the crowd like thunder and lightning, when Chu Xiang's figure fell in the Half Moon Pavilion, the quiet crowd was like a sleeping lion that had suddenly awakened, and thousands of eyes gathered, like Mount Tai pressing on the top, which made Chu Xiang a little frightened.

Sitting down in the pavilion, the breath of countless masters appeared in Chu Xiang's induction, and the eyes of countless masters were focused on his body, Rao is Chu Xiang's mind was like iron, and he was also under pressure.

At twelve o'clock at noon, Chu Xiang got up and bowed his hands on all sides, and Lang Lang's words spread all over the radius: "Today's meeting, only in the Tao, not hands, regardless of the level of martial arts, no matter what sect, no matter what the evil sect is crooked, but there are opinions, you can speak freely, different opinions, you can also refute, if there is a fallacy, welcome you to correct." ”

Chu Xiang's voice fell, and after a while, a person from the west said: "Xu Wuliang in western Sichuan is here." ”

"Fortunately." Chu Xiang arched his hand.

"The sword is born from the heart, and the sword is natural, and killing people with the sword is the fault of man, or is it the fallacy of the way of nature, in this way, whether the sword is natural or determined by the heart." Xu Wuliang said, his voice was not loud, and it also spread for several miles in a radius, everyone could hear it clearly, and he was obviously a master.

Chu Xiang hadn't answered yet, and a person on the south side said: "The way of the sword comes from the heart, my way, that is, the way of heaven, there is me between heaven and earth, I exist between heaven and earth, I am also heaven, I am also earth, my heart is determined, that is, the way of nature of heaven and earth." His voice was calm and exuding a sense of arrogance, just as he asserted.

"That's a big fallacy." Before the words fell, a person in the southwest immediately retorted: "My way is not the way of heaven." The way of heaven is to do good to all things without fighting, and my way is to hold the sword and descend all things, and to do things of killing, and when it violates heaven and earth, turn your back on nature and go far away. ”

"Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, the weak eat the strong, this is the principle of heaven, people hold the sword and kill all things, this is the way of heaven and earth, what a fallacy. We are ants, but also the dogs of heaven and earth, the meaning of human beings, is to survive, to kill for survival, in line with the way of heaven, to the heart. Someone else retorted.

As soon as the previous person finished speaking, someone retorted, you say a word, I say a word, Chu Xiang didn't have a chance to speak, and all the masters already had their own opinions and argued.

Xu Wuliang's question was debated for more than ten minutes, but there was still no consensus. This is a very acute question, this question explores the source of the real martial arts, and the beliefs of the masters are closely related, once you accept the words of others, it means that the martial arts you have always adhered to will change, once the heart of the Tao changes, the pursuit of martial arts will have to start from scratch, rebuild your own martial arts beliefs.

The way of oneself, proved by oneself, there are thousands of avenues, it will not be the same, of course, it is impossible to reach a consensus.

This kind of argument may not mean much to the disputants with iron hearts, but it is like an empowerment to those who listen, especially those who have no beliefs of their own and are confused. There are thousands of avenues, everyone is different, but different paths are the same, these masters' paths, not only suitable for others to refer to, but also allow some weak people to follow the way, is a good guide.

While the masters were arguing, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "May I ask you, as Mr. Chu Xiang said before, if I fall into the devil, am I me, or am I the demon, or am I the demon?" How can I attain perfection with the path of demonic attainment? ”

Although this person tried his best to shout, not many people heard it, and he was a person with low cultivation.

Chu Xiang heard this person shouting, and after a master finished saying his opinion, he immediately interrupted everyone's argument and said loudly: "Everyone, stop, a Taoist friend asked just now; If I fall into the devil, am I me, or am I the devil, or am I the devil? How can I attain perfection with the path of demonic attainment? ”

"As Brother Chu said, the main point is that the body is demonic, and the mind is unswerving, with tenacity, the act of madness, with the act of madness and tenacity, with the act of madness and tenacity, first cultivate the mind, go through all difficulties, and then cultivate the body, and become a martial artist." This voice is Gongsun Qi's voice, he knows Chu Xiang best, and he also knows that Chu Xiang's road is like this.

After Gongsun Qi finished speaking, there were masters who expressed their opinions, argued and refuted each other, and strived to be successful.

When everyone argued and came to a conclusion, a master asked: "Dan Jin, what is Dan Jin?" Turning something into nothing, or is it a dantian that gathers qi, leads the surface with points, and gathers and disperses into one? ”

Unexpectedly, on the third argument, someone raised the question of refining the marrow into Dan Jin, and suddenly many of the marrow refining masters on the field held their breath and waited for the explanation of the Dan Jin masters.

Chu Xiang was about to speak, but a majestic voice sounded in the east, and it was Sun Ying who spoke: "The waist is the source of strength, the dantian is the center of the waist, and the so-called Danjin is to gather qi and return to one, condense in the dantian, and scatter it in the limbs and hundreds of remains........."

Sun Ying explained that all the masters of refining the marrow were like a treasure, meditating on the experience, and comprehending the spiritual understanding, some even danced with their hands, and some fell into contemplation.

After Sun Ying finished speaking, Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng added something, and then another master summarized the main points and pointed out the subtleties, and Chu Xiang then added two sentences. After a few people talked about it, they told all the contents of refining the marrow into Danjin, and showed a bright avenue in front of everyone, Chu Xiang knew that after this Dao conference, there would really be big things.

It's Sun Ying again, refining the marrow into Danjin, it is the secret of all sect families, for those conservative people, they can't wait to be buried under Jiuquan, no one knows, now a few people are in a few words, and they all shake out, and what's even more terrifying is that the TV station is broadcasting live.

It can be predicted that after this Dao Conference, there will be many refining masters who will break through the boundaries in a short period of time, and the number of Danjin masters will increase dramatically in the future, and the rivers and lakes will be even more chaotic.

After entering the conclusion of Dan Jin's question, all the masters on the scene became a little strange, because all of them at the refining level were thinking about the path pointed out by the few people just now. Although the atmosphere was a little strange, the ensuing discussion was still very intense, and from time to time some people argued with each other, and the scene was very lively.

Due to the large number of people and the lack of experience at the beginning, which caused several people to argue endlessly, and unable to control the scene, Chu Xiang had to make a rule that people below the level of refining the marrow only had the opportunity to ask questions, and one person could only express his views once on the same question.

What Chu Xiang didn't expect was that the meeting lasted for two days, and after the second day of the Dao, there were more and more masters who came to the scene, probably because they saw the live broadcast of the TV station, and the scene staged scenes of breaking through the realm from time to time, so they rushed over immediately.

In Chu Xiang's induction, there were more than ten top masters who broke through the marrow refining level, and there were thousands of people at the refining level, countless of them. To everyone's surprise, in the process of arguing, several masters of refining the marrow directly broke through the boundary and entered the Dan Jin. This kind of change makes everyone excited, just by talking and listening to others' preaching, you can break through the boundaries, who doesn't want to participate in such a discussion conference.

Although there are many masters, many of them are conservative martial artists, just watching from the sidelines, not speaking, not answering, and not asking questions, which greatly reduces the pressure on Chu Xiang as the host. Despite this, there are still many people who target Chu Xiang and deliberately use strange questions to make things difficult for Chu Xiang, wanting to embarrass Chu Xiang.

In the middle of the night of the second day, although many people with low cultivation wanted to continue to listen to the masters of martial arts, they had no choice but to accept a limited amount of useful information in a short period of time, and a large amount of useful information poured into their brains, and their energy was not enough to digest, and they had already entered a saturated state. After nightfall, the number of people asking questions gradually decreased, and they were basically experts at the refining level arguing, and the topic had basically covered all martial arts questions, and it was no longer useful to continue.

Chu Xiang immediately decided to end the Dao Conference.
