The word chivalry, dismantled is a "person" and a "clip". The so-called chivalrous man is nothing more than a person who lives in a splint.

In the early morning of the next day, several of Ji Benchu's juniors and disciples came by order and gathered in the self-suffering hall.

There are a total of seven brothers in Ji Benchu, and the master is Chai Wanfeng, the previous sect master of the One Sword Sect, and Mr. Wanfeng passed the position of sect master to the eldest disciple Ji Benchu after he became an ancient man.

The seven of them are in the order of entry, although Ji Benchu is the eldest disciple, the age is not the oldest, the oldest is the fourth Yao Shouyi, nicknamed "Covering the Heavens", this person is about forty years old, and his temper is extremely hot. The martial arts of the One Sword Sect are broad and profound, all-encompassing, but when it comes to the foundation of the school, it is still relied on exquisite swordsmanship, but the fourth child has practiced this set of "Twenty-four Styles of Heaven Covering Hands" to a great extent, but the swordsmanship is mediocre.

The youngest is the seventh junior brother - Zang Feng, who is not yet in his prime, withdrawn in temperament, taciturn, he has no wife and no children, and he has a sword as a friend in his life.

The seven people are different in age, and the martial arts are also uneven, and the master leads the door to practice in individuals, although they are all apprentices taught by Chai Wanfeng, but each person's understanding and experience are different, and the martial arts are naturally a big difference.

The leader is Zang Feng, who ranks the seventh, as a closed disciple, is quite favored by the master, and his own understanding is also high, the entry time is the shortest, and the youngest, but with a set of supernatural "Seven Annihilation and Ten Wounded Sword" skills to overwhelm the senior brothers, the people of the rivers and lakes are called "the blade of the Sword Sect". Martial arts were closely followed by the sect leader Ji Benchu and the third elder Qin Keji.

Seeing that the sect master walked out of the back room, everyone got up and saluted, Ji Benchu hurriedly waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's shame to have made the junior disciples wait for a long time." ”

"It's okay, the sect master hurriedly discussed the matter, and by the way, asked the disciple to cook a few more bowls of porridge and make two exquisite side dishes, and everyone hurried over, and they didn't even eat a bite of rice. Yao Shouyi said unabashedly. The relationship between the seven has always been very good, and there are no outsiders at this time, Yao Shouyi's temper and personality are known to everyone, and no one accounts for his following actions.

"Fourth brother, don't be impatient, I've already arranged it. Although Ji Benchu is the sect master and the senior brother, he can be affectionate, and when there is no one in private, he calls Yao Shouyi "fourth brother".

Ji Benchu looked around, there were five junior disciples seated in the hall, but there was no Zang Feng, he stretched out his hand to greet the disciple standing in the corner waiting, and asked in a low voice: "Did you notify the seventh senior uncle last night?" The disciple also replied in a low voice: "All the senior uncles have been notified." ”

Ji Benchu sighed slightly, threw down his sleeves, and said gloomily: "That's it, let him be." Then he resumed his solemn expression and said, "The next 'Chronicle Covenant' has been finalized with Wang Zheng after consultation. ”

Hearing the words "The Covenant of the Year", everyone came to the spirit.

"What kind of test method?" asked the sixth Su Jianyi directly.

Ji Benchu replied: "The way of the competition is roughly the same as last time, it is still two wins in three games, but the details have changed slightly, and among the three people participating in the competition, there must be a young disciple of the 'Mao Gate'. ”

Hearing this, the other five people were all shocked.

What does it mean to be a "disciple of the Mao Sect"? What is the reason for the "covenant of the year"? Why does everyone attach so much importance to it? All this goes back to 70 years ago, or even more.

A sword sect is a creation of Lu Yuan, Emperor Taizong has been enclosed many times, after development, a sword sect is divided into six doors, the four doors headed by the first four of the twelve earth branches are named, respectively, the sub-gate, the ugly door, the Yin door, the Mao door, the other two doors are called Xianmen and Wei Gate, the six doors each set up the door master, the deputy door master, the overall affairs of the door.

Zimen: Led by the heads of the past dynasties, there are very few disciples, and it is composed of disciples with high attainments in literature, martial arts, work, and products. The seven sons of the Sword Sect are all subordinate to Zimen except Zang Feng, and Ji Benchu was also a disciple of Zimen before he took over the position of sect master.

Ugly Door: The disciples of this sect are mediocre in martial arts, or can speak well, speak well, or have a clever mind and are good at work.

Yinmen: The disciples of this sect mainly learn the art of galloping against the enemy, supplemented by the cultivation of internal martial arts. Although the martial arts skills of the disciples are sketchy, when it comes to marching and fighting, they are all invincible. The disciples of Yinmen are also responsible for training troops and generals for the imperial court, and during the reign of Gaozong, there was a folk rumor: "Half of the generals in the world are out of the Sword Sect." ”

Maomen: The young disciples of the One Sword Sect practice martial arts while working hard, and after becoming an adult, they are assigned to the rest of the sects according to their talents and specialties.

Absolute loyalty to the sect, undergoing harsh training, mastering all kinds of tracking, assassination, and fighting techniques, and treating death as home, is the foundation of the One Sword Sect to make the world's martial arts fearful, and it is also the last barrier of the One Sword Sect.

Xianmen: The unique sects on the rivers and lakes who want to seek refuge, as well as the merchant landlords who are eager to get property security, as long as they abide by the way of justice and help the needy, they can claim to be disciples of the One Sword Sect with the permission of the sect master, and these people have to pay money to the sect every year, which is also an important part of the income source of the One Sword Sect.

Turning to the "Covenant of Chronicles", every 12 years is called "One Age".

At that time, Lu Yuanyi had two disciples under his knees, the eldest disciple Jia Bailie, and the second disciple Mu Wushuang, both of whom were outstanding Jianghu Junjie, after the death of Yuan Yi's patriarch, due to many reasons, the One Sword Sect was split into two factions, and the senior brother broke away from the One Sword Sect and set up his own door, known as "Vientiane Gate";

Although the two factions are still commensurate with brothers, it seems that the well water does not violate the river water, but secretly they compete with each other, and the two sides have mutual enmity for decades. After negotiation between the two parties, it was agreed that the martial arts competition would be held once every 12 years. In fact, it is still to compete for the first place in the world, and by the way, you can also take this opportunity to explore the other party's martial arts cultivation.

Everyone knows that Lu Yuanyi is not self-taught, but there is a master behind him, and his martial arts are self-contained, covering a wide range of skills, mainly swordsmanship, including boxing, hidden weapons, light skills, and internal skills.

In the first ten years of the founding of the school, Lu Yuanyi successively defeated the masters of the 49 factions of all sizes in the rivers and lakes, and he did not taste a single defeat, and he was in the limelight for a while. Moreover, Lu Yuanyi also has a general strategy, medicine, architecture, Qimen Dunjia, and astronomical stars, and the unfathomable power of the master behind it can be seen.

Some people say that Lu Yuanyi's master is from an overseas immortal island, and even more outrageously say that his master is a Da Luo Jin Immortal who descended to the earth, and some people say that it is a secret organization that does not enter the WTO to teach his martial arts.

Ji Benchu arranged it like this, Yao Shouyi was very puzzled, and shouted: "Although we lost the last Duanyang Festival competition, we only blamed ourselves for not being good at learning, but we were also convinced. If we join a battle of Maomen, it will inevitably be unfair to us, my First Sword Sect has always been harsh in entry, unlike his Vientiane Gate, all cats and dogs are accommodated, in recent years, none of us have accepted apprentices, where can we find an apprentice who can compete?"

Speaking of this, the meaning of sighing is overflowing, and everyone feels the same way.

The seven sons of the Sword Sect have dominated the rivers and lakes for many years, and they are all well-known figures in terms of martial arts and prestige, but they are a little worse in terms of disciples, and most of the young disciples are decent and unscrupulous.

Sun Zhengli took over the conversation and said: "Look at the Vientiane Gate again, many young disciples have been cultivated over the years, the first number is that Qi Jinyu, I heard that Wang Zheng has taught him all the "Seven Yao Divine Skills", it seems that he is going to be cultivated as the next head of the sect." There are also Dongfang Weiming and Dongfang Weixi brothers, who are also rare talents. The only one on our side who can show his hand is Wan Chun's nephew, and he was sent to serve in the army by the head of the family. ”

Zhu Moqi, who looked like a scholar, coughed dryly and said: "You don't need to be too ambitious, the senior brother in charge of the family has arranged it like this, so he must have a certain number in his heart!"

Everyone then looked at Ji Benchu, who was sitting on the throne, but he did not speak.

Zhu Moqi folded the fan open, very chic, and said loudly: "Qi Jinyu is very good, but he is no longer a disciple of Maomen, there are still ten years before the next martial arts competition, and by then, the two Dongfang brothers are also older, according to the ancestral training, if they are more than twenty-five years old, they can no longer be Maomen disciples." Dare to ask all of you, brothers and sisters, with the skills of you and me, won't we be able to teach one or two proud protégés in ten years? I have some ideas, I don't know if you would like to listen to my sour show a few more words. ”

"The second child doesn't want to sell Guanzi! I'm really anxious!" Yao Shouyi was very anxious.

Zhu Moqi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "First, I want to select a few disciples under the age of fifteen from the existing Maomen disciples, and have a good foundation under their knees, and train them patiently, so that Hu Ming and Tang Tanghua I think they are good, and you can add to them when you are the other candidates; secondly, relax the entry conditions, increase the number of Maomen disciples, and have the base number to have quality; third, find one or two extremely intelligent and obedient children, pass on a set of powerful and fast swordsmanship, and specialize in a set of sword moves in ten years, and you can also achieve something." ”

In the end, it is the think tank of the First Sword Sect, Zhu Moqi has said a word, and he has solved a lot of doubts for everyone.

Qin Keji said: "What the second brother said is quite in line with me, but just now you said, teach a set of quick swordsmanship, what does the second brother mean?"

Ji Benchu put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "Seven annihilations and ten wounded swords." ”

"Seven Annihilation and Ten Wounded Sword?" Qin Keji's face was full of surprise, and he was slightly displeased, and said righteously: "What are the consequences of forcibly cultivating the Seven Annihilation and Ten Wounded Sword by a person with insufficient internal strength, you know it, senior brother!"

"Seven Annihilation and Ten Wounded Sword" is Zang Feng under the guidance of Chai Wanfeng, with a sword sect's supreme internal strength heart method "Seven Yao Shengong" and create a set of swordsmanship, this swordsmanship is extremely domineering, every move and every style has the power of destroying withering and decaying, when the master has not yet died, Zang Feng can rely on this swordsmanship to learn from him and stand undefeated, a few years later, this set of swordsmanship he is even more perfect.

This set of swordsmanship is not a very advanced martial arts, ten years and eight years can be completed, but it must be based on strong internal force, otherwise it will eat itself, first hurt yin and yang, and then hurt the five organs, this is seven annihilation, and there are ten veins around the five viscera, five on the left and right, respectively, the hand Taiyin lung meridian, the foot Taiyin spleen meridian, the hand Shaoyin heart meridian, the foot Shaoyin kidney meridian, the foot syncope yin liver meridian, and then hurt the ten veins, is ten injuries.

Ji Benchu said: "Everyone in my generation can dedicate themselves to the great righteousness, and death will not be whirlpooled, and besides, it is such a face-saving matter. We have lost twice in a row, and we must not lose again this time! Moreover, the internal injuries caused by the strong practice of the Seven Annihilation and Ten Wounds Sword are not incurable, as long as we use pure internal force to help them open up the Yin and Weft and Yin Qiao two veins, not only the internal injuries can be healed, but the martial arts will also advance by leaps and bounds, as long as the competition can be won, I can personally open up the meridians for it, nothing more than three or five years of internal strength, so what's the matter!"

Zhu Moqi smiled at Qin Keji: "Senior Brother in charge of the sect acts like this, but he also doesn't want to see you and me fall into the embarrassment of having no successor after a hundred years, and we can't afford to live up to his hard work." ”

"If nothing else is decided, let's go and have breakfast, and you stay, third junior brother. Everyone rushed out, and only Ji Benchu and Qin Keji were left in the main hall.

"Third junior brother, you know, the seventh is ...... to me Hey!" Ji Benchu sighed, "Let him take in the apprentice, he may not be willing to listen to me, and you still need to run around in this matter." ”

Qin Keji knew what he meant, in the early years, the senior brother did something that was not very kind, which hurt Zang Feng's heart, and he is still haunted by it, and the relationship between the two has not been very harmonious.

"There is one more thing, I want you to go to Lu County in person and give this letter to Wang Zheng. Ji Benchu took out the letter from his arms, handed it to Qin Keji, and kept saying something in his ear, Qin Keji nodded again and again.

But about the visit of the man in black last night, Ji Benchu did not say a word.

"Okay, without further ado, third junior brother, you quickly go back to the house to do something, inform your younger siblings, and set off immediately. ”

Qin Keji took three or two steps and stopped, turned around and shouted: "Big brother......"

"Huh?" Ji Benchu agreed very unnaturally, since he became the sect master, several junior disciples rarely called themselves like this.

Qin Keji still couldn't hold back, and said it: "I always feel that the eldest brother has hidden a lot of things from us, how can it be so sudden when the appointment for the next year is finalized? And it is so unreasonable, is the way of the martial arts competition really determined by the eldest brother himself? There was also the Duanyang competition the year before last, the eldest brother could obviously win Wang Zheng, why did he keep his hand?"

Ji Benchu pondered for a moment and did not answer.

"Senior brother controls the overall situation of the sect, there are unspeakable hidden, and the senior brothers also know, if there is really any tricky matter, I just hope that the senior brother can pour out his heart, and everyone will share it together. ”

After Qin Keji said this, he strode away, and after he walked out of the room, Ji Benchu muttered: "Chivalrous and chivalrous, just a person who lives in a splint......"
