Regarding Liu Xunyi's speculation, Luo Tianjin and Ling Xiaoxiao just looked at each other secretly and smiled, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Lin Fangda only knew that Pan Chuba and Luo Tianjin had been friends for many years, but he didn't know that there was such an old story hidden behind it, so he couldn't help but sigh, and muttered in a low voice: "Betrayed the master and cheated the cheats." It seems that this Pan Chuba is not a good thing, I don't understand why the mansion master would be friends with such a person?"

"If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing?" Luo Tianjin was not annoyed, and said indifferently, "Pan Baye was just your age back then, young and vigorous, and it was inevitable that he would go astray. He has been remorseful for many years and has never been able to forgive himself for what he did. Therefore, when he was in his prime, Pan Chuba, who was supposed to break out of the world in the rivers and lakes, suddenly regained his edge and retreated bravely, and no longer cared about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but turned to do business with one mind. This...... Not only did he retire to the rivers and lakes, but he also abandoned his martial arts in front of Mu Sheng's grave, and even broke his tendons, so that he could no longer hold a knife for the rest of his life. At that time, this incident was witnessed by the head of Wudang and the abbot of Shaolin himself. Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and kindness is great! This is why I respect Pan Baye so much. ”

Liu Xunyi was secretly taken aback, and said with emotion: "The swordsman has regarded the knife as his life all his life, and the eighth master of Pan returned to the Sea Sword Sect, he must be a master of using a knife, and he was willing to cut off his tendons and never lift a knife...... This move was really admirable, and I think he should be sincerely repentant. In addition to sighing, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but change his words and asked, "Just now Mrs. said that before his death, Mu Sheng's predecessor handed over the two volumes of "Returning to the Sea Sword Method" to the ancestor of the Qin family and Pan Baye respectively, but I don't know how ...... these two volumes now."

These two volumes are still in the hands of the Pan and Qin families. Luo Tianjin said bluntly, "The upper and lower volumes of the "Returning to the Sea Knife Method" are 'Red Fire Volume' and 'Xuanshui Volume' respectively. Among them, the 'Red Fire Scroll' is the way of Gangmeng's external cultivation pursued by the Yang branch and the first vein of the Yin and Yang branches, and the 'Xuanshui Scroll' is the technique of Yin and soft internal cultivation believed in by the Yin Branch. Although it is a kind of martial arts, the cultivation methods of the upper and lower volumes are very different, and the tricks contained in each are also very different. Because of the infinite power of the "Returning to the Sea Knife Method", if everyone learns it, it is afraid that the world will be in chaos, so before his death, Master Guihai set an iron law for future generations: "Only the heads of the past dynasties are qualified to practice the complete "Returning to the Sea Knife Method", and the disciples can only learn the half-step fragments of the lineage to which they belong. In fact, it is enough to practice the half-step fragment scroll to the fullest, and in addition to the two volumes of the initiate, it requires extremely high talent and perseverance, and even a great opportunity, which is by no means easy to practice, so even if there is no rule set by the ancestor, this section alone is enough to discourage countless people. ”

Liu Xunyi replied thoughtfully: "The more peerless martial arts are, the more difficult it is to practice to the fullest, and if you are not careful, you will go mad, and your martial arts will be wasted, and you will be seriously injured and killed." Back then, Master Guihai set this rule, thinking that it was also to protect his disciples, fearing that they would go astray because they were eager to practice. ”

"That's good!" Luo Tianjin said approvingly, "The Returning Sea Sword Sect has been standing for a hundred years, and has succeeded more than ten leaders, but there are very few who have really practiced the 'Returning Sea Sword Technique' to the fullest. Many leaders have gone mad because of greed for merit, or they have lost their previous achievements, or they have died with a whimper. Even Mu Sheng, a martial arts genius who is rare in a century, was repeatedly frustrated because of his eagerness, and he failed to practice the "Returning to the Sea Sword Method" until his death. All kinds of past things are lessons from the past, so that the disciples only believe in the 'Red Fire Scroll' or 'Xuanshui Scroll', and they are sure that the Red Fire and Xuanshui cannot be practiced together at all, and the real "Returning to the Sea Sword Method" only exists in the legends. There have even been rumors in the rivers and lakes that it is speculated that the Guihai Sword Sect actually has two supreme sword techniques, one is the "Red Fire Knife Method", and the other is the "Xuanshui Knife Method", so the Guihai Master of the year will divide the Yin and Yang branches at the beginning of the mountain. ”

"I see!" Liu Xunyi and Lin Fang said in unison, letting out a sigh of incomprehension.

Ling Xiaoxiao said: "Pan Baye sincerely repented, so he abolished his martial arts and sealed the 'Xuanshui Volume' early. Later, he only taught some basic kung fu to his children and grandchildren, in order to strengthen his body and protect himself in times of death. But Qin Gang, who was pregnant with the 'Red Fire Scroll', had no regrets, he used the 'Red Fire Scroll' to create the Hexi Qin Clan, and integrated the world's fierce knife techniques into it, and changed the name and surname of the "Red Fire Scroll" of the "Returning to the Sea Knife Method", which became the "Qin Family Knife Method" of today's Megatron. Under the elimination of the other, there are very few people in today's martial arts who still remember the 'Xuanshui Volume'. People only know that the Qin clan in Hexi is one of the four great families of martial arts, with strong connotations and strong power, but they have long forgotten what Qin Gang did back then. Since ancient times, no matter how 'despicable' Qin Gang's methods in the past were, it would not affect the 'high morality' of the Qin clan in Hexi today's martial arts. Therefore, your lord would rather be friends with the Pan family than be ashamed to be with the Qin clan in Hexi. ”

Liu Xunyi was in a trance, full of emotion, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There is a saying that 'the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky'." Perhaps it is precisely because Pan Baye repented of his mistakes that he was able to prolong his life. Although Qin Gang killed chickens to take eggs and made himself famous, he suddenly fell ill and died violently forty years ago. The second-generation head of the Qin family also died nine years ago. Most of the people of the Qin family are short-lived, and the longest will not live to be sixty years old, this may be the punishment of the Qin family from heaven!"

"Although Qin Gang is dead, the Qin clan in Hexi is becoming more and more prosperous, and the current head of the Qin family, 'Qin Ming', is not confused, but his martial arts and intelligence are even higher than Qin Gang. Luo Tianjin said, "Nine years ago, when Qin Ming succeeded as the head of the Qin family, his vision was far beyond that of his ancestor and father. He believes that although the "Qin Family Sword Technique" is infinitely powerful, it is not the ultimate realm of the sword technique, and if you want to make the Qin family's martial arts to a higher level, it is necessary to get the "Xuanshui Scroll", so that the real "Returning to the Sea Sword Technique" can reappear in the rivers and lakes. ”

Ling Xiaoxiao added: "Not only that, Qin Ming also believes that only by practicing the 'Returning to the Sea Knife Technique' and balancing the technique of reconciling yin and yang can he break the 'short-lived curse' of the Hexi Qin clan and no longer be limited by the mandate of heaven, so as to grow old and live a long life." Therefore, at the beginning of Qin Ming's accession to the throne, he led people to Yingchuan in person and asked Pan Baye for the 'Xuanshui Volume'. However, due to his unstable foundation at that time, coupled with the mediation of our Xianwang Mansion, Qin Ming reluctantly stopped. ”

"Reluctantly?" Liu Xunyi said suspiciously, "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Qin Ming has quite his ancestral heritage, and even the name of 'Badao' is also passed down in one line. Sword, knife...... As the name suggests, this person must act vigorously and domineeringly, and the 'Xuanshui Scroll' is not only related to whether the Qin family's sword technique can step into the supreme realm, but also whether the 'short-lived curse' of the Qin clan can be broken. The stakes are high, and ordinary people will not give up easily, let alone a high-powered Qin family head?"

"That's right!" Luo Tianjin nodded, "Although Qin Ming was willing to stop for the time being, he also put forward a condition, he moved out of the rules of the former Guihai Sword Sect, and as a disciple of the Yang Branch, he challenged the Pan family of the Yin Branch, and made a ten-year covenant. If the Pan family can defeat the Qin family in the competition, Qin Ming will stop there. But if the Pan family is defeated by the Qin family, they will have to hand over the 'Xuanshui Scroll'. ”

Lin Fangda sneered and said contemptuously: "Qin Ming is really a good calculation, he knows that Pan Baye has already withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, and the Pan family is now honest businessmen, and he even uses 'martial arts' to attack the Pan family? Isn't this a clear plan to bully the weak and bully the weak with more? This move violates the morality of the rivers and lakes, and cannot be agreed! It must not be agreed!"

Ling Xiaoxiao said, "Qin Ming had already expected that we would use this as an excuse to hinder his good deeds. Therefore, he 'generously' set the day of the competition ten years later, and said in the name of "according to the rules of the general election of the head of the Guihai Sword Sect, and at the same time leave the Pan family ten years to recuperate." 'Ten years is not a long time, but if you want to cultivate one or two masters, it is not impossible for the Pan family with the 'Xuanshui Volume'. As everyone knows, in the past ten years, Qin Ming was not only left to the Pan family, but also to himself, so that he could take advantage of the situation to stabilize the foundation and strengthen the influence of the Hexi Qin clan in the martial arts. ”

Liu Xunyi smiled bitterly: "Now it seems that his goal has been achieved. Qin Ming back then, like Lu Tingxiang in Lufu in Jiangnan today, was young and difficult to convince the public. But after ten years of training, Qin Ming has already become an old-fashioned and spicy overlord who speaks everything, and he is also intertwined in the rivers and lakes, with deep roots. In addition, now the relationship between the Xianwang Mansion and the Hexi Qin clan is quite unfamiliar, and if you want to stand up and act as a peacemaker at this time, I am afraid that it will not be so easy. ”

"Alas!" Luo Tianjin sighed, "The most helpless thing is that for Qin Ming's conditions, Pan Baye at that time happily agreed. Although he has been in retirement for many years, in fact, he has always regarded himself as a disciple of the Guihai Sword Sect in his heart. Perhaps in order to atone for his sins, or perhaps to completely settle the grievances and grievances of the Pan and Qin families for many years, he promised Qin Ming a ten-year covenant and swore an oath with him. ”

"Does he want to hand over the 'Xuanshui Scroll'?" Lin Fang said in surprise.

"The Xuanshui Scroll is the only relic that Mu Sheng left to Eighth Master Pan, how could he hand it over so easily?" Ling Xiaoxiao muttered, "What's more, the other party is also the grandson of a traitor from the Guihai Sword Sect. If the 'Xuanshui Scroll' is really handed over to Qin Ming, it will be tantamount to giving the "Returning to the Sea Knife Method" to the Qin clan in Hexi. In the hands of the Hexi Qin clan, the "Red Fire Knife Method" has become the "Qin Family Sword Method", if they are allowed to get the 'Xuanshui Scroll' again, then the "Returning to the Sea Knife Method" will completely disappear from the world. Later generations only know that the "Qin Family Knife Method" is unparalleled in the world, but no one will remember the line of returning to the sea. What the Qin family stole was not only a book of martial arts secrets, but also the efforts of the Guihai Master and the century-old reputation of the Guihai Sword Sect. The thief Qin Gang will rightfully replace the name of the 'Sword Saint' of the Master of Guihai, and the "Qin Family Knife Method" will also take away the reputation of the "Guihai Knife Method" as the "No. 1 Sword Method in the World". If the 'Xuanshui Scroll' is there, then the former Guihai Sword Sect is there. If the 'Xuanshui Scroll' is gone, then the Guihai Sword Sect will also completely disappear from history. ”

"It's a pity!" Lin Fang said with regret, "It's good that Eighth Master Pan didn't abandon his martial arts at the beginning, with his old man's cultivation, wouldn't it be more than enough to deal with a junior like Qin Ming?

"Big brother's words are wrong. Liu Xunyi shook his head and said, "As the so-called blue out of blue is better than blue, even if Pan Baye didn't abandon his martial arts back then, then he may not be Qin Ming's opponent today." After all, the Qin clan in Hexi has worked hard in the rivers and lakes for decades, and after a long time of swords and swords, the martial arts of the descendants of the Qin clan have naturally become more and more sophisticated. In contrast, the Pan family, who has always been doing business and has been absent from the battle array for a long time, even if they have the 'Xuanshui Volume' that is not weaker than the "Qin Family Sword Technique", they are afraid that after so many years of peace, their martial arts have long been abandoned. ”

"The ten-year appointment between the Qin family and the Pan family is imminent, so wouldn't the Pan family lose?" Lin Fangda said anxiously, "If Qin Ming really practices the 'Returning to the Sea Sword Technique), then the Hexi Qin clan will definitely increase in strength, and maybe it will become the head of the four great martial arts families, and even regain the prosperity of the Returning Sea Sword Sect in the past." The Hexi Qin clan transformed into the first major sect in martial arts...... No! No! Our Xianwang Mansion and the four great families have always been square and round, and they are incompatible, if we let the Hexi Qin Clan become bigger, sooner or later it will become our disaster!"

"I don't know!" Luo Tianjin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Because Pan Baye has a word first, after retiring from the rivers and lakes, he will no longer have too much contact with the people in the rivers and lakes." Therefore, he and I mostly greet each other with letters during the New Year's holidays, and we do not have much contact. Therefore, I don't know what the situation of the Pan family has been in the past ten years. ”

After that, facing Liu Xunyi and Lin Fangda, who were full of stunned faces, Luo Tianjin smiled meaningfully, and said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing." The beginning of spring next year will be ten years, so on this year's birthday, Pan Baye specially sent someone to send an invitation, which is bound to let me go to Yingchuan and talk about it in person. It's just that at the moment, Wang Xutong's intentions are unknown, the situation in Luoyang is chaotic and complicated, and I have no skills, so I decided to let you go for me. The first is to pay homage to life, and the second is to see with your own eyes what the current strength of the Pan family is, and come back and tell me truthfully. In addition, you still need to pass a word to Pan Baye for me. ”

"Please show me the way. ”

"Love is as heavy as a mountain, and righteousness is as deep as the sea. If brother is in trouble, no matter when, Luo is willing to be in the same boat with Brother Pan and Wu Yue, and never turn his back!"
