Fourth, the sword has desire, and the sword has no rest

According to records, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Yin Xi, a disciple of Lao ☯ Tzu, ☯ resigned and went to Wudang Mountain for three days to retreat, creating a precedent for cultivating Taoism in Wudang Mountain. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the general Dai Meng to go to Wudang Mountain to collect medicine, and after the matter was completed, he abandoned the official to learn the Tao, and obtained the book of jade and golden bells, and the charm of stone essence and golden light, which could travel 700 miles a day.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Yin Changsheng entered Wudang to cultivate, obtained the secret of the sun god Dan, Dancheng, flew with qi, and traveled around Liuhe ☯. Jin Zhiyun, abandoned the official and entered the Wudang Cultivator, and he had the wonder of rushing to the silence and being able to fly over the cliff. Tang Lu Dongbin is good at swordsmanship and tastes Wudang. Li Daozi, who lives in Wudang Mountain Nanyan to practice, preaches Tai Chi Gong, known as Congenital Boxing, also known as Changquan. In addition, there are Zhuge Liang, Chen Quan, Deng Andao, Tian Lingyi, Zhang Daogui and other former sages, who practiced here and achieved enlightenment.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, four major sects were gradually formed in Wudang Daomen - Longmen, Tiangang, Taiyi, and Qingxu. The four major schools have their own characteristics and strengths: the main road of Longmen, the main sword of Tiangang, the main character of Taiyi, and the main hand of Qingxu.

The one who really carried forward the Wudang martial arts and generalized it to the vulgar was Zhang Sanfeng, the Wudang Gaodao in the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

Zhang Sanfeng, also known as Quanyi, Junshi, a native of Yizhou, Liaodong, was born in the Yuan Dynasty and was established in the second year of Dingzong. He has lofty morals, proficient in the three teachings and poetry and songs, traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers for more than 30 years, the family history has the foundation of the Heavenly Master, inheriting the true biography of Chen Shu and Huolong, and is familiar with the Daomen Tianyuan, Diyuan, and Renyuan.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di invited him to Beijing ☯ many times, but he avoided them. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has named him "true immortal" and "real person" many times, and built a grand scale of Yuzhen Palace for him at the northern foot of Wudang Mountain, cast a gilded bronze statue to be enshrined, and sent six products to mention the official residence temple to lead the people to cultivate and worship.

In addition, Zhang Sanfeng also created calligraphy exercises such as "Dragon Walking Grass", "Taiyi Divine Sword", and "Tai Chi Thirteen Styles". The martial arts created by Zhang Sanfeng is aimed at "prolonging the life of all the heroes in the world, and not making the end of the skill in vain".

Recently, the Wudang faction has gathered many sects, including the Sanfeng Natural School in the Northeast, the Taiyi Tiesong School, the Taiyi Shenjian Gate in the capital, the Wudang South School in the south of the Yangtze River, the Zixiao Xuanzhen School in Shandong, the Yulong School in Tianjin, the Qiankun Gate in Yunnan, and the Langmei School in Wuhan.

The above-mentioned sects are all branches of Wudang, and they came to help because they were worried that something would happen to Wudang.

Just a few months ago, the Shaolin faction had an accident, and soon after it was the Shaolin branch. There is a saying in the rivers and lakes, called "Shaolin in the north, Wudang in the south". These two factions are Wulin Taishan Beidou, and now Shaolin has an accident, if Wudang makes trouble again, this river and lake will be in chaos.

Therefore, in addition to these sects on the mountain that have a relationship with Wudang, there are also many elders and protectors of the sects under the mountain, and even the two most outstanding heads of the six sects, Zhuge Zhi and Sima He, also came.

Wudang, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, is already three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded by water. Every mountain road from here to the bottom of the mountain is guarded by people, and there are many masters in ambush in the Taoist temple.

At night, it was extraordinarily quiet, there was no bright spot in the sky, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at the Scripture Pavilion from various rooms. In addition to the flickering fire, everyone's eyes are also full of anger and fear. After all, it is not easy to turn black and white, gangs and factions upside down during this time. This requires not only courage, but also resourcefulness and ability.

At this moment, there was some commotion ☯ in the distance, and it seemed that it was happening in several directions at the same time. Due to the large number of people, the closer they got to the Scripture Pavilion, the more they couldn't see what was going on in front of them. The more this happened, the more uneasy the hearts of the people became.

However, soon everyone knew what was happening, and eight lanes had been given way around, and on each lane stood six or seven masked men in black. They held knives in their right hands and torches in their left hands, and their bodies were covered with explosives ☯. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense, and no one dared to act rashly, this ☯ bomb exploded small, and it was not cost-effective to hurt yourself.

In this way, the other party quickly gathered in front of the door of the Scripture Pavilion. One of them said very respectfully: "Shaolin and Wudang are both martial arts Taishan Beidou, not long ago I went to Shaolin to play, and found that it was better to meet than to be famous." I thought that Wudang martial arts originated from Shaolin, and there were many deficiencies compared to Shaolin, but today it is very different. In the next time, I came here just to borrow the Wudang introductory exercises, and I hope that Lingyang Dao will be convenient. ”

Before Ling Yang could speak, Na Yan had already spoken first: "Who is Sir, you are hiding so deeply, with my intelligence, I didn't even find out your true identity." You said that you came to borrow books, but in such a big battle, I don't see the slightest element of borrowing. Is the borrowing that you say in your mouth the meaning of death?"

The man replied lightly: "Mr. Yan's two lines of sharp teeth and three-inch tongue are really eye-opening, and he is worthy of being one of the three fast martial arts." His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly. This skill has overwhelmed most of the people here.

As soon as he finished speaking, the torches in the hands of the masked men came closer to his body. This move made everyone around him keep retreating, and now there are only four Taoists in their sixties at the door of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. Immediately after that, there was a little movement outside, and although it was very secretive, it still did not escape the eyes and ears of the masked man.

I only listened to one of them: "I advise everyone not to waste their efforts in vain, we have been prepared for this time, the fuse of the explosives ☯ is waterproof, the torches in our hands cannot be extinguished by water, and the explosives ☯ on our bodies are even more ignitive, windy, and water-poured will explode." Even if you break the fuse and extinguish the torch, as long as we cut the oil paper wrapped in the explosives ☯ with our knives, we will all die. I'm not alarmist, you can try it if you don't believe me. As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him stepped back quite a bit.

The four Dao Masters glanced at each other and reluctantly gave way.

The inside of the scripture pavilion is very dry, and there is no lighting material, so you are not allowed to enter it after the time of application. Therefore, there is already a large lock hanging on the door.

But the masked man Liu Sheng didn't care about this without a knife, and with a wave of his hand, the knife force had cut the copper lock in half.

After closing the door, Liu Sheng fought without a knife, and with the faint light and previous experience of stealing books, he quickly found the storage area of the martial arts cheats.

Just when he was about to rummage through the Wudang Martial Arts, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a sword stabbed out obliquely, and before the sword arrived, the sword qi had arrived. The flame was cut in half by this sword qi in an instant, and then it was extinguished in an instant. In front of Yanagi without a knife, he suddenly fell into darkness.

Ordinary people are at a loss in this situation, but Yanagi Wudao is not an ordinary person, years of practice have made his five senses extremely keen, and the long-term life-and-death duel has made his reaction extremely fast.

Seeing the direction of the incoming sword from the corner of his eye just now, his first reaction was to block it with a knife, because the effect of blocking is much better than dodging, and it is also more than the other party's expectations.

The Assassins, before committing an assassination, always calculated every step. The opponent is ready to attack, and in this situation, his dodge steps must be heavy, which will give the assassin another chance.

Taking the initiative to counterattack should also be in the assassin's calculations, but if you hand over a move with the opponent, you can at least judge the strength and position of the opponent.

These thoughts are only in a flash of lightning.

Yanagi Muto was a samurai and was a man of justice, but he had a wealth of theoretical knowledge in assassination. He has two ninja friends in Toei, namely Iga tennin and Koga jinnin. They are the suzerains of the two ninja sects.

Although the relationship between the two is that of enemies, they have a good relationship with Yanagi Mudao, and because of this, he can learn all about the assassination from the mouths of the two. These gave him great self-confidence, and he believed that in the dark, in addition to divine forbearance and heavenly forbearance, even the "Confucian sword" Wu Yuetian could not help him.

But with the failure of this knife, his ideas also failed, and his self-confidence fell even more flat. People, in the midst of darkness, most desire is to find light, even the battle-hardened Yanagi Bladeless. So, the first thing he has to do now is to make a fire fold.

Just when he was about to blow the fire fold, his heart suddenly felt cold, and the fire folded a lot lighter. When he touched it with his hand, he was even more shocked into a cold sweat, and the section exposed by the fire was cut off. But he was sure that the light of the fire was not broken when it was extinguished.

That is, in the dark, the man suddenly changed from stabbing to slashing. And it was all so accurate that it just cut off the exposed section. If that person had not changed from stabbing to cutting, but to stabbing to chopping, then he would have changed his name to Yanagi Wushou.

At the same time as he was amazed, he felt the other party stab him from the right. Unlike the silent action just now, this time he sensed not only the opponent's sword, but also the opponent's person.

Yanagi Wudao hurriedly stepped back with his left foot, moved his body backwards to avoid the sword, and then slashed out with the knife in his hand. He began to have confidence again with this knife, the opponent's sword was three feet long, and his knife was six feet, the opponent's sword had not touched himself, and his knife had already cut off the opponent's waist.

But it's a pity that his knife is empty again, and there is no news from the other party. Then the sword stabbed down from above, and this time Yanagi did not block or dodge, but waited for the sword to touch his pores, at which point he would hold the opponent's sword with lightning speed. Once the opponent's sword was caught ☯, that person must have been shocked for a moment. Because, he is using death to fight back. And the moment when the other party is shocked is the key to life and death.

The sword was still falling, and Yanagi Wudao was still waiting, but what he was waiting for was not the sword, but the shock - the other party disappeared again.

He was terrified now, Yanagi Muto never felt that he would always win, but he didn't admit defeat, and as long as there was a chance to fight, he wouldn't give up.

"You're not from the Wudang Clan, why are you meddling in your business. ”

With deep internal strength, it can transmit sound for thousands of miles, and it can also be dense into the ear. Liu Sheng's bladeless skills are profound, so he can naturally do it, but now he controls his voice within five feet of ☯ his body, as long as the other party answers, he can judge the other party's position.

"What evidence do you have?" replied.

Both sides asked and answered, and they were very simple, but they did not say every word. Yanagi Wudao's voice could only be heard within five feet of him, but the other party's voice came from all directions, and the voice was erratic.

It seems that this game Liu Sheng has no knife and has nothing to gain, but he does not give up: "I heard that there is a saying in your Central Plains martial arts that there are 'three fast and two slow', these two slows are the slow work of the Dragon and Phoenix Dart Bureau, and the dart is often delivered at the last moment of the limited time, but the dart has never been missed." This second slowness is that Wudang Lingyang Daoist's Taiji Sword is slow, and he always doesn't shoot until other people's weapons are within half a foot of him, but he is always the last to come first. The swords of the head of the sect are all slow to become famous, and the disciples under him are not all competing to imitate them. Even if someone made the sword fast, it wouldn't go anywhere. But your sword is faster than mine, and I'm afraid that even Wudang Ling Qingshitai's swordsmanship is not so fast, so I conclude that you are not from the Wudang faction. ”

Liu Sheng sealed his aura within five feet without a knife, unless the opponent's internal force could penetrate his aura, otherwise he must be within five feet, but no matter what, the other party was fooled. Yanagi Wudao's voice is calm on the surface, but every word he says, it deepens his internal strength. If the opponent forcibly breaks through the aura with his true strength, he will be shocked by his internal force, and if he uses his internal strength to resist within five feet, he will also have a bad breath.
