Chapter 10: The Gentleman's Sword
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
Early in the morning of this day, Meng Fan got up early as usual, but did not practice boxing.
Just last night, Meng Fan finally completed the transformation of the last wisp of basic internal force, and at this time, he was already a true second-rate master.
As we all know, there are acquired and innate divisions in martial arts cultivation, and there is also a general division of martial arts on the rivers and lakes, which are not in the stream, third-rate, second-rate, first-class, grandmaster, and great grandmaster.
Those who don't understand internal skills and can only have some external skills belong to the stream, such as the dart master of the dart game, the housekeeper of the rich businessman, etc.
The initial internal strength belongs to the third rate, such as the outer disciples of some sects, and the internal strength is a second-rate master, such as the inner disciples of each major school, and the internal strength is a first-class master, such as the head of each major school.
If you can comprehend the mystery of the unity of heaven and man, you can break through the acquired and reach the innate realm, which is the great master.
However, there is a more detailed division in the Dao collection that Meng Fan reads, according to the complaint, there are ten stages in the realm of the day after tomorrow, ten is the number of perfections, aside from the last stage, there is the theory of the nine layers of the day after tomorrow.
Among them, the first three are collectively referred to as the third rate, the middle three are the second rate, the last three are called the first-rate, and the last one is the grandmaster, which is the acquired consummation.
Before Meng Fan did not transform his true qi, he was a first-class master of the acquired sevenfold, but the true qi of the Jade Emperor Fist was relatively thick, and after the transformation, it was only the appearance of the acquired fivefold. But even in the face of the first-class master of the acquired sevenfold, he is not afraid at all.
In addition to internal cultivation, as early as two days ago, Meng Fan had also completely mastered the Wuyue Sword Technique in the Secret Cave. The reason why he practiced the swordsmanship of various factions was not to use it against the enemy, but to be familiar with the flaws in it, and to make it easier for him to fight the enemy in the future.
"It's time to move down. ”
On the edge of the cliff, Meng Fan overlooked the steep mountain scenery in the distance, and sighed slightly, his long-favorite "Dugu Nine Swords" was still nowhere to be seen, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but when he thought of his self-created "Jade Emperor Fist", he was a little proud.
With his current martial arts, he can walk the rivers and lakes boldly with confidence! Meng Fan thought secretly.
Over the years, although Meng Fan has gone down the mountain, he is limited to the towns below the mountain, and every time he goes down the mountain, he accompanies Ning Zhong to buy daily necessities, and he will not stay under the mountain for too long.
Of course, every time Meng Fan went down the mountain, he would take the time to buy some live chickens and ducks and other domestic animals, as well as grain seeds, all of which he raised on the continent of the Dingnei space.
Such a large piece of land in the space inside the Ding is barren, Meng Fan naturally hopes to turn it into a real oasis, and even, he has thought about collecting some refugees to enter, but he has been staying in Huashan before, and there is no chance.
Thinking of this, Meng Fan looked forward to it more and more, and he decided that as soon as Lao Yue returned to the mountain, he would immediately go down the mountain and walk the rivers and lakes.
With a decision in his heart, Meng Fan's eyes became firm, and at this moment, a middle-aged man in a blue Confucian robe met him.
"Hey, it turned out to be Lao Yue, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!Haha, it seems that I will go down the mountain to experience it soon!" After recognizing the man in the blue robe, Meng Fan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.
Meng Fan didn't know that Yue Buqun returned to the mountain gate yesterday evening, and when he heard Ning Zhong mention his successful meritorious service, Lao Yue didn't sleep much all night, and as soon as it was dawn this morning, he hurriedly went up to the Siguo Cliff.
At this moment, Yue Buqun had just stepped on the platform of Siguo Cliff, and Meng Fan hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you came back just in time, I am preparing to go down the mountain and go to the rivers and lakes to practice!"
Yue Buqun's face is like a crown of jade, although he is almost fifty years old, but because of his perennial practice of Zixia Gong, his appearance is still like a man in his thirties, coupled with the elegant temperament revealed on his body, he does not live up to the nickname of "Gentleman's Sword".
"Going down the mountain to practice?" Yue Buqun frowned slightly, but in an instant, he stretched out again, he looked Meng Fan up and down, and said in a harmonious voice: "I heard from my junior sister that you created a set of martial arts called "Jade Emperor Fist"?"
Meng Fan had already guessed the purpose of Yue Buqun's trip, after all, in the previous year, the other party had hardly come to Siya to visit him, and now he was in a hurry, except for his own martial arts, he really couldn't think of any other reason.
Thinking of this, Meng Fan reached out and took out the secret book of "Jade Emperor Fist" from his arms, and then threw it to Lao Yue, and said with a smile: "Please also ask senior brother for more advice!"
"You ......" Yue Buqun's face was stunned, and the moment he took the book, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, obviously, he didn't expect Meng Fan to give the Jade Emperor Fist to himself so easily.
"Please give me advice!" Meng Fan put away his smile and said with a solemn face.
This time, Yue Buqun clearly saw the sincerity in Meng Fan's words, and after a little hesitation, he didn't resist the temptation of the cheats after all, and quickly flipped through them.
With Yue Buqun's internal cultivation at this time, it was obvious that he could see the wonder of "Jade Emperor Fist", especially when he saw the last three-style boxing method, his face couldn't help but show a look of shock.
After a long time, Yue Buqun closed the book, staring at Meng Fan with complicated eyes, "Senior brother is extremely intelligent, senior brother admires!" As he spoke, he returned the book, and at the same time, a trace of loneliness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
His Yue Buqun's martial arts cultivation is also a leading existence among the "no" generation in Huashan, and he doesn't want to be compared to a weak-crowned young man today, so he can't help but be a little disheartened.
"Hehe, Senior Brother has praised it, with Senior Brother's qualifications, if he hadn't been dragged down by all the things in the sect, I'm afraid he would have already entered the realm of the Grandmaster!" Meng Fan took the book and complimented him with a smile.
"Grandmaster Realm?" Yue Buqun repeated in a low voice, his eyes subconsciously revealing a hint of yearning, but then, it was replaced by a touch of eagerness.
Yue Buqun was already a first-class master of the eightfold of the day after tomorrow many years ago, but until today, he has not broken through to the ninth level, and even in recent years, Zixia Gong has not advanced but retreated, which makes him anxious.
In addition, not long ago, he heard that Zuo Lengchan had entered the realm of consummation with one foot, and his heart became more and more urgent, and the pressure on his body almost overwhelmed him.
Yue Buqun's expression changed by Meng Fan one by one, and as soon as he thought about it, he roughly guessed what the other party thought.
At that moment, Meng Fan sighed secretly: That's it, whether it is for the sake of Ning Zhongze, whether he is a member of the Huashan faction, he should be nodded at this moment.
Thinking of this, Meng Fan coughed lightly, stared at Yue Buqun with both eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, although I haven't read the "Zixia Secret Book", there are many records about it in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
However, the senior brother has worked hard for the Huashan faction in the past few years, and he has been running non-stop, and I am afraid that his internal cultivation will be greatly harmful.
Senior brother, I understand the pressure of my senior brother, but the revival of the Huashan faction is not an overnight thing, although the Songshan faction is powerful now, it is not easy for Zuo Lengchan to merge the five factions, I am sure that the other three factions will inevitably be the same as my Huashan faction, and will not succumb to Zuo Lengchan's feet.
At that time, it will be our four factions to jointly resist the Songshan faction, so that even if we can't defeat the Songshan faction, at least it will be a situation of equal strength, and at that time, the only thing missing is a leader who can resist Zuo Lengchan.
And among the heads of the four factions such as us, whether it is strength or fame, only you, senior brother, are the most suitable. Therefore, instead of running around the rivers and lakes all day long, it is better to stay in Huashan and retreat and practice Zixia Gong.
As long as Senior Brother can enter the realm of Grandmasters, even if there are only a few people left in the Huashan Sect, they will not fall into the rivers and lakes, and there will be a day of revival after all. ”
Meng Fan's tone was sincere, and he speculated and persuaded eloquently, and Yue Buqun listened to it, and his heart was also shaken. He knew that Meng Fan was reasonable, but it was still difficult to make a decision for a while, and it was reflected on his face, and his face was very uncertain.
Seeing this, Meng Fan immediately decided to take another dose of fierce medicine, "Senior brother, senior brother has lived in this Siguo cliff for more than a year, but I have discovered a wonderful place, senior brother might as well go and see for yourself!"
"What's so wonderful?" Yue Buqun looked stunned and asked inexplicably.
"That place is in the stone room, senior brother will know when you go in!" Meng Fan sold a pass and did not answer directly.
Yue Buqun glanced at Meng Fan, then turned around and entered the stone room. He went in and didn't come out until half an hour later.
At this moment, although Yue Buqun tried his best to calm his mind, Meng Fan still saw a strong joy in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Meng Fan laughed softly: "Senior brother, I have heard that the seventeen-way sword technique of the Songshan faction is the result of Zuo Lengchan's collection of the remaining sword moves of his own sect and the convergence of the turnips.
Senior brother's intelligence is not inferior to Zuo Lengchan, and now he has the help of the sword spectrum in the cave, why not follow Zuo Lengchan and improve the Huashan swordsmanship?"
As soon as Meng Fan said this, Yue Buqun's eyes suddenly lit up, he knew that if he really perfected the swordsmanship of his own sect, he would inevitably leave a strong mark in the history of the Huashan faction, and this temptation was too great.
Thinking of Meng Fan's previous persuasion, Yue Buqun immediately made a decision to stay in the faction from now on, studying Zixia Gong and perfecting the Huashan Sword Technique.
