From focusing only on sword weapons, to focusing on internal forces, and no longer heavy on sword weapons. Dugu's path of seeking defeat is still very clear.

His swordsmanship before the age of forty was completely different from that after. This is the case. is very similar to Qi Jiguang in the history of the Celestial Empire. At the beginning, this Ming Dynasty anti-Japanese general was very averse to the use of firearms. In his early commentaries, he made it clear that war cannot be fought with firearms.

In the process of resisting the Japanese, whether it is the mandarin duck array or the Qi family knife, they have nothing to do with firearms. However, in the later period, when he was stationed at the Mobei border pass to fight the Mongol cavalry, he changed his mind in practice.

His army was the earliest in the history of mankind to be armed with muskets. And he himself was the first inventor of landmines in the history of mankind. His ability to invent and apply firearms led the world at the time. This shift is very interesting.

If Qi Jiguang in the later period and his early self meet, the two sides may have to quarrel over firearms.

And the same is true of the swordsmanship of this sword demon Dugu clan. In the later period, he didn't know whether it was due to the influence of his abandonment of the sword, or because his internal strength became stronger and stronger over time, or because of the epiphany in his self-breakthrough. In general, the swordsmanship of the later stage is basically the complete opposite of the early stage.

His blackiron sword didn't even have a blade, and the head of the sword was even more round. It can only be used to smash people. This must have been due to his own habit of using swords. And force yourself to give up the coercive means of using swordsmanship to hurt people with internal force. You must know that he was forty years old at this time, and he had danced the sword for half his life. It's not easy to change this habit of using a sword. But it's really changed with heart.

When the Sword Demon reached the period of the heavy sword. It has no rival in the world. But he's always looking for a breakthrough. The imaginary enemy of this breakthrough must be his former self. Of course, the true power and strength of his swordsmanship are also skyrocketing.

In the process of Zhang Chen's fight with the Condor this time, his qualifications have risen again. For the "Xuantie Sword Technique", it can actually reach the entry level in a short time. Even he himself was surprised.

He stopped. The eagle also stopped to the side. When Zhang Chen opened the system to look, the "Xuantie Sword Technique" in the system had indeed risen to the first level. It's just that this sword law is a fragment, and when you click on it to look at it in detail, almost all the levels above the first level are red and incomplete.

The root of this sword technique lies in the application of internal forces. Zhang Chen at this time, on the one hand, the internal force is not strong, and on the other hand, the use of internal force is only a newcomer. The moves, he speculated. But the application of internal forces. He can't be pushed out or incomplete for the time being.

Half a day later, he fought with the eagle again. At this time, he was already able to use the moves of the "Xuantie Sword Technique". The other party was very excited about his various attacks. It's like meeting an old acquaintance. From time to time, there is a long whistle.

It's just that in the battles between it and Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen often makes an ordinary attack, but he always reacts greatly. It seems that Zhang Chen will have some powerful attack. But Zhang Chen really couldn't wield any powerful aftermath. He knew that this was the reason why he didn't have a complete understanding of the Fa, so he was a little overwhelmed by the amount of information.

On the afternoon of this day, after the competition with the eagle eagle, Zhang Chen thought to himself, "The key to this way of swordsmanship is not the move but the internal force technique, it seems that I have to wait until the internal force is completed." Let's analyze that again. ”

By this time, Zhang Chen had been here long enough. The eagle was very excited. But Zhang Chen already had to go.

When it was time to leave, Zhang Chen hugged it and said, "Brother Diao, I'm afraid I'm going to leave for a while." ”

That carving has been with people for a long time, and it can understand some simple words, and when he heard that Zhang Chen wanted to leave, he was obviously extremely reluctant, stretched his neck and talked about the corners of Zhang Chen's clothes, looking unwilling to let Zhang Chen go.

Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He has "Northern Spiritual Skills", and he doesn't need to practice here for more than ten years like Yang Guo. There are some things that you have to go.

"Brother Diao, you don't understand. I'm going to continue here. The swordsmanship of this lonely predecessor. I can't comprehend it. Only go out to improve your strength. After that, this swordsmanship can be truly analyzed and summarized. ”

The eagle was just reluctant. Zhang Chen paused and patted it on the back and comforted, "Don't worry." It won't be long before my internal forces will be successful. When the time comes, I will come back to fight you again and comprehend the swordsmanship. ”

The eagle finally saw that he had made up his mind. There was a loss in his eyes. Zhang Chen could only say with a smile. "I'll be back."

He then strapped the sword to his back. As he was about to leave, the kitten suddenly asked in an ear, "Brother." Are you going back to reality now? ”

Zhang Chen was standing in the valley at this time, there was a barely calculated road in front of him, he thought for a moment and said, "How long can I stay here?" ”

The kitten counted and said, "It's been eight days." You can stay for up to seven more days. ”

"Then stay for another seven days." Zhang Chen said, this time I came, it has been three months since the last time, and I don't know how Li Mochou's "White Python Whip Method" has been practiced. But since I'm here, I should meet her.

Chixiazhuang is not far from Zhongnan Mountain after all. It doesn't seem to be far from the tomb of the living dead. Zhang Chen first returned to the town at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. At this time, there are small triangular yellow flags fluttering everywhere in the town. Zhang Chen has been in the mountains for the past few days, and he has also been busy filling his hunger with the dry food he brought with him. I really didn't eat anything good. So when I came back, I first found a small restaurant in the town and ordered some wine and food. Listening to the little two in this small restaurant, two days later, it will be the Christmas birthday of the Taoist Taiyi Salvation Tianzun.

This place is near Zhongnan Mountain, and it is deeply influenced by Taoism. Of course, these have little impact on Zhang Chen.

Note: Popularize some Taoist knowledge. Taoism is roughly divided into two major schools: "Quanzhen" and "Zhengyi". There are several branches of each of the two factions. However, these two factions are generally categorized.

It is generally believed that Taoist priests can get married and have children. But in fact, it refers to the "Zhengyi" school. The "True" religion is completely different.

The spirit of the Quanzhen Sect believes that only those who have received the precepts are qualified monks, and if they do not take the precepts, they will not have the opportunity to ascend to the immortal realm.

Therefore, the most basic requirement for a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen School is to become a monk, live and practice, not to marry a wife, not to eat meat, and not to drink alcohol. The main purpose of his cultivation is to be quiet and inactive, to go to emotions and desires. And its Taoist precepts are also very numerous, such as "Three Refugee Precepts", "Five Precepts", "Ten Precepts", "Laojun Eighty-one Precepts", etc., requiring those who follow the Tao to keep and keep the precepts.

Its teachings: "three teachings are round", "insight into the heart", and "unique truth" are the purposes, hence the name "all true"

And the historical Changchun real person - Qiu Chuji made stricter precepts according to the existing precepts of Taoism.

Therefore, the Quanzhen Sect is actually similar to the precepts of the Shaolin Temple. Zhen Zhi Bingqiang X Xiaolongnu's behavior. In any case, it can never be accepted by the Quanzhen Religion. If his deeds are revealed, the person will be exiled from the wall forever. It was even directly cleaned up by the Quanzhen Sect.

(I don't quite understand why Zhou Botong was not dealt with by the Quanzhen Sect.) He had a child with a woman. Whether he did it intentionally or not, the objective facts are very clear. Or that the person didn't want to get married in the first place. There has always been a contemptuous attitude towards women. Later, he kept drifting around and did not return to the Taoist temple at all, which is no different from apostasy. ）

In contrast, there is the "Zhengyi School" in Taoism. This faction is allowed to marry wives, drink wine, and eat meat. You don't have to live in a Taoist temple. You can practice at home. It belongs to a relatively liberal Taoist sect.

Personally, I feel that the "free school" should be the "Zhengyi" school, and whether it is Wuyazi, Li Qiushui, or Tianshan Tong's grandmother, they all have the idea of getting married. There is no idea of prohibiting sex between men and women. Among them, Li Qiushui has slept with countless people, and it seems that neither Wuyazi nor Tianshan Tong has talked about her violating the door rules or anything like that. It can be seen that the freelancers can't help this.

There is another theory that the sweeping monk is a free child. In fact, this possibility is really not very big. After all, you've heard of monks and Taoist monks. But I have never heard of the sincerity of the Taoist priest who changed his career to become a monk. They have all become monks, but why do they come out again?

In addition, the doctrine of Taoism and Buddhism both talk about escapism. If it is a seclusion. There's really no need to do it the other way.

The doctrines of these two schools are very different. As a Taoist master, it is impossible for Xiaoyaozi to suddenly deny all his own doctrines. Run to shave your head and engage in the four major empty. It's really unlikely.

……

After Zhang Chen finished eating, he went to the clothing shop where he had ordered the hairballs before and took the two hairballs. The heart said to go find Li Mochou. After that, I inquired about the location of Chixia Village.

It is less than ten miles away from the end of the road, which is not too far. Take Zhang Chen's habit of running day and night. At this point, he ran in with "Lingbo Microstep", which was more than half an hour.

When people arrived outside Chixia Village, it was still early. The sun was shining around 3 p.m. The valley outside Chixiazhuang is full of red soil with white stones, which is very special. The trees in the valley are green, and at this time of year they are still very lush.

Since this is the residence of the Chilian fairy Li Mochou. She has a lot of revenge, and it's hard to say if there are any organs in it. So Zhang Chen flew to a big rock and looked inside.

At this time, he suddenly felt the faint sound of a weapon breaking through the air. Although the voice is weak, Zhang Chen's internal strength has deepened, and he is very sensitive to the perception of the surrounding environment. At this time, he quickly turned around in the air, and the attacking thing was actually very dexterous. actually chased Zhang Chen in the air like a snake. There was not much voice. Zhang Chen was now moving across the air three times in a row. These things happen just in the light of light. Zhang Chen's swordsmanship was originally high, and at this time, he drew his sword with his backhand, "Breaking the rope style!" "Came out. At the same time, he saw that it was a silver whip. In the distance, a purple figure was smiling at Zhang Chen.

The purple Taoist robe, with sleeves trimmed with large purple and saffron flowers. Plus a purple tiara. The man's skin was snow-white and his eyebrows were sword-eyed, but he was on the sidelines. Beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, and the peach cheeks are dizzy.

Zhang Chen smiled when he saw it and said, "It's finally here." That's what you did to me. How to change the set of clothes. ”

Li Mochou had already taken back the long whip that flew over at this time. The process was as straight as a dragon swimming out of the sky. She was overjoyed when she saw Zhang Chen, and then said with a smile. "You said you wanted me to teach you after I learned it. So I'll show you a special table. ”

Zhang Chen himself couldn't help but admit it, "Your whip method is natural, not to mention how well you practice." This talent is very remarkable. "I think you want to praise a kung fu. The best way to say it is naturally that this kung fu is only suitable for her to practice alone. For example, talent or something is very important. It's like when you praise a woman's clothes for being beautiful, you can't just say that they're beautiful, but only you can wear them. Then she's really happy.

Li Mochou listened to him praise himself, his face flushed with joy, and he was overjoyed. She grabbed the whip in both hands and held it in her hand, and leaned her upper body against Zhang Chen's side. Like a bird, the two chatted a few words about the situation after parting.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a pretty voice come and say, "Master." You're back. Li Mochou immediately stood up straight when he heard this voice, and then he didn't look back, only said, "Yes." I am back. ”

When Zhang Chen turned around. I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old beautiful little Taoist girl, this girl had a long spike sword on her back. The complexion is white and greasy, and it is very beautiful. It was only at this time that Li Mochou's mood was interrupted, and it was this embarrassing time. Li Mochou's face was quite unsightly, "Have you finished everything in the village?" "Li Mochou doesn't like to be with people by nature. There are only two people in Chixiazhuang where she lives, she and this girl. I'm afraid most of the usual affairs are done by this girl.

"It's done, Master." The girl didn't know what was going on, and only spoke with her mouth shut. Zhang Chen was a little amused in his heart, and then broke the embarrassment and said to Li Mochou, "I haven't been here for a long time this time. Why don't you go out for a walk with me? ”

That Li Mochou breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he turn back to the girl and say, "Lingbo." I'll be out for a few days, and you'll be at home to take care of the house. ”

That Hong Lingbo was a little confused, "Master, you just came back and had to leave." "She is alone in the village. Although her martial arts are not weak. But after all, it's too boring.

Li Mochou was a little angry and said, "You always talk a lot of nonsense." ”

Zhang Chen whispered to Li Mochou next to him at this time, "I have recently thought of this whip method, why don't you ask her to help me make such a whip." I think you're doing really well with this whipping technique. ”

Li Mochou's face flushed a little, and then said. "This whip is made by myself. If you want me, I'll make it myself. But the material. She glanced at Hong Lingbo when she said this, and then said that she had instructed Hong Lingbo in the past.

The little girl's face was happy. I also heard Zhang Chen say that he wanted a whip just now. than staying in the village. Naturally, she wanted to go out and run errands. One side can play.

After Li Mochou finished his order. Zhang Chen said not far away, "Is the money you brought enough?" The girl blushed and bowed her head and said, "That's enough." Then he trot. and ran away.

"Alas...... This girl is always like this. Li Mochou looked at her running away with a little frown. Zhang Chen smiled beside him and said, "If you don't say it, I don't know she is your apprentice." Like your sister. ”

That Li Mochou blushed and was happy in his heart. She has her own skills. The sweetheart is still very happy with the compliment, but he still says, "What." I'm more than ten years older than her. It's nonsense. ”

This day is very close to the Christmas of Taiyi Salvation Tianzun, an important festival of Taoism. All the nearby towns are in the mood for a festivities.

Walk on these on the streets. The two of them were also very happy to play around. Later that day, the two of them followed the men and women who went to the Taoist temple to burn incense, and they also entered a mountain gate. Note: It is not the Quanzhen Sect of Zhongnan Mountain. It is another mountain temple called Shangqingguan.

This temple is a natural cave on a rock face. There is a long stone path that leads up the hill. There is a huge cedar tree outside the Taoist temple, which can only be hugged by several people, which looks very imposing.

Zhang Chen and Li Mochou were late in the weather after going up the mountain, so they stayed in this temple for one night. There are very few rules spoken in Taoism. But everyone depends on their realization. So after entering the Taoist temple. Zhang Chen had a sense of tranquility in his heart. The night was quiet.

The next day, I got up and had breakfast in the Taoist temple. Mainly rice and greens, as well as pickled radish strips.

It's morning when I go down the mountain, and recently because of the festival, there are a lot of people going up the mountain. Zhang Chen took Li Mochou to this kind of place, which was actually very inconvenient. After all, a worldly son with a beautiful purple-clothed Taoist aunt is very eye-catching.

So Zhang Chen was thinking about staying away from here. He didn't understand why he had come to such a place before. In fact, I was happy for a while, so I watched other men and women walk around happily. And he came with them. At this time, I can't wait to stay away.

This Li Mochou is not a Taoist priest at all. When she wore a robe, she was afraid that she would avoid the pursuit of men. At this time, I don't care about other people's eyes at all.

The two of them went down the mountain together. Zhang Chen's solemnity all the way. Just walking under a rock wall, I saw a vendor playing a flute to sell his flute. In Zhang Chen's feeling, the rock wall of this place should have formed a natural echo wall. So the sound of the flute is particularly melodious and beautiful there.

Zhang Chen was on a whim. So he went up and said to the vendor, "Brother Tai's flute is good." Can you teach me. ”

In order to gain popularity, the flute seller naturally can't ask for it. In addition, Zhang Chen seems to be quite rich. So teach hard. It's just that the incomparably beautiful Dao Gu next to her is a little strange compared to Zhang Chen. But hawkers are naturally focused on making money. Other people's rules and precepts have absolutely nothing to do with him.

Therefore, after learning like this for a while, Zhang Chen can already play a few small tunes. This time it was the turn of the old man who sold the flute and was surprised, and said, "Childe is not here to kill me, you obviously will." ”

Zhang Chen laughed and said, "I really couldn't before." But when he blew it again, the sound of the flute was really much better than that of the peddler. There are some things that are so-called in the heart. Moreover, Zhang Chen's deep internal strength is far from being comparable to ordinary people, and he can play the flute for a long time without breathing. The peddler only shook his eyes when he heard it, and there were many good men and women who came to the mountain to offer incense next to him.

Zhang Chen laughed and said, "I really couldn't before." But when he blew it again, the sound of the flute was really much better than that of the peddler. There are some things that are so-called in the heart. Moreover, Zhang Chen's deep internal strength is far from being comparable to ordinary people, and he can play the flute for a long time without breathing. The peddler only shook his eyes when he heard it, and there were many good men and women who came to the mountain to offer incense next to him.

They were all attracted by the sound of the flute, which made the vendor's flute a sought-after item, and it was sold out in a short time.

Even the flute in Zhang Chen's hand was wanted to be bought. This kind of thing made Li Mochou next to him laugh non-stop. At this time, it was already past ten o'clock.

Zhang Chen and Li Mochou were about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone next to him say, "Senior Brother Zhen Zhibing, the host of the Shangqing Palace this time said that there is not enough manpower to do Dharma work here, and we need our help." Looks like we're going to have to get busy, too. ”

The name Zhen Zhibing is very ear-piercing (formerly known as Yi Zhiping). When Zhang Chen raised his eyes, there were two people dressed as Taoist priests on the mountain road. The Taoist priest known as Zhen Zhibing replied at this time, "Yes, Senior Brother Zhao." Looks like we'll have to get over sooner. ”

Senior Brother Zhao? Zhang Chen thought to himself, could it be Zhao Zhijing who could be called Senior Brother Zhao by Zhen Zhibing?

This time into the world of martial arts. Zhang Chen has never absorbed people's internal force. These two people are the first and second among the three generations of disciples of the Quanzhen Sect. It will not be long before he is the most important candidate for the head of the house. After all, the internal force is not too weak. Together, the two are no less.

And at this time, Zhang Chen suddenly had a prompt in his ear, saying, "Side task: clean up the scum of the Quanzhen Sect, Zhen Zhibing and Zhao Zhijing." Experience 500."

“500？” Zhang Chenxin said that it was a bit little. However, it would be a pity if the internal force of these two people was not absorbed. In the world of the Condor, it is not easy to go too far for the time being. (To be continued......)
