Chapter 9: The Fu and the Sword, the East Pole and the Marquis (II)

"Fu, Fu can transform all things, and the sword is just a sword." Qiu Fang replied without thinking, even though the Taoist often says that the way of the sword is refined and pure, the way of the rune is broad and complete, heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me, the sword is one, the fu is all things, there is no superiority or inferiority, as long as the cultivation is done properly, it is the same sect and the same origin, you have me and I have you. But Qiu Fang decided in his heart that Fu Dao was better, first, it was more useful, and secondly, he read more scriptures and collections, and his heart was pure, and he didn't like to dance and play with swords, so he naturally favored Fu Dao.

Who knew that Zhou Zong was not like a Taoist who had to say one, two, or three, but he praised it a lot, and laughed loudly: "Not bad, yes, the Fu Dao can transform everything, and a sword can not be turned into anything?" So on that day, the master of the Fu Vein showed his might, and the blood washed the Hou Mountain, and many kendo disciples died at his hands. ”

"This vein master is so powerful?" Hearing this, the young man's expression became more focused, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Of course, the rune is divided into three layers, one is heaven and earth, the second is life and death, and the third is swallowing scenery, you know."

"The disciple knows that the master said that the way of the talisman, although heaven and earth are the top, life and death are the middle, and the swallowing scenery is the bottom, but the three types of talismans have their own realms and uses, and there is no real one who is strong or weak, and you must not lose bias in your practice."

"Hmph, that old Taoist leader, he usually always follows the rules, but when he really gets things done, why doesn't he have those rules." Zhou Zong took a sip lightly, his expression was very dissatisfied, and it seemed that he had a lot of resentment against the Taoist in his heart. "Yes, although the Heaven and Earth Talisman is extremely mysterious, there are only a handful of people who are proficient in it, but this does not mean that the Swallowing Talisman is very weak. These three-layer charms, in the hands of the vein master, are superb, a heaven control rune, a prison talisman, is to fall a barrier, firmly lock the people in the mountain. It is said that these two heaven and earth talismans alone are enough for a disciple who is still shallow in cultivation to be crushed by the spirit and shatter his internal organs. Zhou Zong's saliva flew everywhere, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and the story was vivid.

"I heard the master mention these two charms, they are so powerful, but the disciple is ashamed and has not yet learned them." Qiu Fang said unexpectedly, and there was guilt surging in his eyes.

"It's okay, if you know how to do it at your age, wouldn't you be the reincarnation of six or eight people?" When Zhou Zong heard this, he changed his seriousness and made fun. "Later, the Sword Vein Lord was not an opponent, or the Mountain Lord fought with the Fu Vein Lord for a whole day, and the battle was so strong that the sand and rocks were flying, and the wind and clouds changed color, and finally..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Zong stopped, he suddenly closed his eyes, shook his head and sighed.

"In the end? Did the Pulse Master win? Qiu Fang couldn't wait to ask, after all, he was only sixteen years old, and he was accompanied by scriptures all day long, and the words on those ancient scriptures were profound and subtle, so that the young man only felt boring most of the time, how could these earth-shattering stories be interesting.

"Lost, that mountain lord is not an ordinary person, at your age, he used the blood of demons in the Southern Frontier Demon Domain to sacrifice the name of Heaven-shattering. And although the master of the rune vein is strong, he can be called the second in the world, but he is not as strong as him. Zhou Zong said slowly, and when he mentioned that person, there was a rare awe in his eyes.

Without waiting for the young man to ask again, Zhou Zong said again: "The mountain master followed the previous mountain master to play a small experience outside, it was originally a sword and rune double cultivation, and the master of the rune vein, but he did not use the sword trick at all, the two of them fought in the dark with one rune after another, although the vein master was defeated in the end, but only lost to the rune dao. ”

"Will the vein master die if he loses?"

This was unexpected, the main force of the mountain disagreed, thinking that the master of the Fu vein was caused by the demons in his heart, and punished him to go to the ancestral hall to face the wall, and he was not allowed to step out of the ancestral hall for the rest of his life, in short, he was spared. At the same time, the mountain lord also made a decision that was so-called fair to both the way of the sword and the way of runes. ”

"Merge the Kendo runes?"

"No, no, no, the gap between the sword path and the way of the sword, how can it be so easy to bridge. The mountain lord decided to step down from the position of the mountain lord, and from now on, Zhenghou Mountain will no longer have a mountain lord and a vein master, but a person from the sword vein and the rune vein will each be selected to carry out the dual cultivation of the sword rune. For another five years, the selected people take turns to take charge of the affairs of the whole mountain, and based on the personality of the new disciples, they are divided into sword cultivation or talismans, and the rule that they cannot be changed in this life is established. It's also a way to let the kendo rune you have me, I have you. ”

"Wouldn't that be good, the commander of the sword rune double cultivation to avoid favoritism, and besides, the beginner disciple was determined at the beginning of the choice of what kind of spell, so that the battle between the runes and swords would not be resolved?" After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Fang said his opinion extremely seriously.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zong categorically rejected his idea, "Wrong, the crux of the dispute between the Fu and the Sword is that it is extremely difficult to get started, and without good talent, the path of cultivation will definitely not go far, and in the long run, the way of the sword and the way of the Fu will still not be harmonious." Between the words, even his expression became fierce.

"Then how about all the disciples have dual cultivation of sword runes?" Qiu Fang was puzzled and continued to ask.

"No, the double cultivation of sword talismans will always be unbalanced. For example, if you learn to cook and run, which one will you be obsessed with after a long time? ”

Hearing this, Qiu Fang stared at the sky blankly for a long time, took a breath, and then shook his head a few times, showing a hesitant look. After a long time, he said, "Uncle, I think cooking is good." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zong laughed and scolded: "You unpromising little guy, when you have eaten the delicacies of the mountains and seas under the mountain, don't you want to be intoxicated with eating, and no longer care about cultivation and cooking?" ”

Listening to the laughter and scolding of his uncle, who was serious and kind for a while, the young man also pursed his lips and smirked happily.

Zhou Zong didn't care about the stupid master and nephew, and said to himself: "If a person has a double cultivation of swords and runes, but he lacks the comprehension of runes, sooner or later he will become focused on swordsmanship and abandon runes. ”

"Besides, later, although the Fu Mai Lord survived, but only three years ago, he died suddenly due to the wounds of the Great War. And there are three Fu Mai, and the person who was chosen is your master Xuan Mingzi. ”

Hearing Zhou Zong mention Master Tai, the young man's interest was even higher, to say that Zhenghou Mountain has nothing to do with him, but this master's master, in his heart, is extraordinary, and he has long been recognized as powerful as the immortal in Uncle Zhou's mouth. "Then why did Master Tai leave Zhenghou Mountain again?" He asked.

"Because of the illness of Zhenghou Mountain, he has entered the terminal of death, and the gods are difficult to save. Your master is just your age, so he became the commander, first, there are many people who are not convinced, and secondly, after the implementation of the new regulations, although there are a lot of Fu Mai Xinding, there are really not many old people, and the right to speak on the mountain is naturally not heavy. In addition, after the abdication of the mountain master, he went out of the mountain, not closing the affairs in the door, and slowly, the group of powerful old men in the sword vein no longer listened to him, and ignored the rules of the door. ”

"Master Tai is so powerful, why don't they accept it?" The young man asked with increasing concern in his heart.

"Silly boy, your master was no more than two years older than you at that time, and Kendo has just started to cultivate, so it is still too tender compared to those old men who have been immersed in kendo for decades. So, there is no place to stay here, your master is a disciple of the rune vein, although he also practices the way of the sword, but finally he can't bear the withering of the rune and the oppression of the sword. At the age of twenty-eight, under the melancholy, he broke away from the mountain gate alone, and founded our Dongji Gate with the exquisite art of talismans, and accepted a wide range of disciples. ”

Zhou Zong recalled the past, his eyes also released brilliance, and the eagle under him also shouted a few times in response to the occasion, and the wings danced more powerfully, in the night sky, with a round of bright moon spreading its wings and soaring, just like the century-old foundation of the East Pole Gate, standing above the top of the clouds.

Wu Qiufang couldn't see Uncle Shi's face, but he felt the sudden silence and the autumn breeze blowing on his face, but it made the atmosphere a little solemn. He gradually felt that the uncle sitting in front of him seemed to be concerned about Dongjimen as his own child, and his words and deeds revealed that preciousness.

After a long time, the young man asked, "Uncle Shi, is there a deep gap between our East Pole Gate and Zhenghou Mountain?" ”

Zhou Zong came back to his senses, but this time he didn't use the same sneering tone as always, but said indifferently: "The foundation of the founding school of the East Pole Gate actually originated from Zhenghou Mountain. Since then, Zhenghou Mountain has also broken the jar and broken, and simply let the runes fend for themselves, and now, there are only a dozen or so old Taoist elders who can also use the art of runes. ”

At this point, Zhou Zong's mind came up with the appearance of his master when he said these words, and he paused for a moment before saying.

"Fortunately, your master is not very pious, and he does not require cultivation for his disciples, strictly speaking, we are a sect that has nothing to do with Taoism, so we have grown very rapidly, after all, not all people who are willing to learn the art of Fu Gong are willing to be a Taoist."

Qiu Fang also shook his head when he heard that Master Tai was not a pious Taoist, and vaguely saw the appearance of his master, although the master always hung up Taoist scriptures, but he could occasionally notice that the master seemed to lack some piety for these things.

Thinking about it, Qiu Fang didn't interrupt Zhou Zong's words silently, and still listened carefully.

"It only took a hundred years for our Dongji Gate to become the most powerful sect in the world. It's just that your master went up to Zhenming Mountain for some reason, sneaking into the Tao, in fact, we are all big fish and big meat, there is no need to be taboo, after going down the mountain, you just want to ask for a wife, no, want to ask for a few wives, Uncle Shi will give you Zhang Luo. ”

Zhou Zongyan was in a good mood and laughed heartily against the wind.

But Wu Qiufang was not so interested, when he mentioned the Taoist, his heart sank, and the sadness of parting crawled into his heart again, he couldn't help but look back at Zhenming Mountain, which had been hidden in the clouds, gritted his teeth and said: "Master said, I want to practice diligently after I go down the mountain, and the cultivation of the mind and the sword are indispensable, and the disciples dare not forget." ”

Zhou Zong thought to himself that although this child was not very old and not proficient in the world, his heart was indeed clear and firm, and he was in a better mood when he rescued him in the first place, so he no longer joked with him, but just looked at the dark night and said: "Boy, our Los Angeles is coming." ”
