Chapter 31: Laughing about martial arts

"Divine soldier, what is that?" Zhang Qing thought of the heavenly sword that Song Si said, could it be that it was a divine weapon?

"Divine soldiers," Bai Huiye showed a yearning look on his face, "It is said that some divine weapons are left over from ancient times, and some divine soldiers are made by masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm who search for alien metals, and then integrate their own martial arts cultivation and refine them with great mana. Divine soldiers have spirits, and their power is huge, and the recognized peak of the outer gods can sustain against the celestials. Therefore, even if there is no Heavenly and Human Realm to sit in the sect, as long as you have a divine weapon, you can ensure that your status will not be shaken. Just like my Bai family in Jiangnan, I have held a divine weapon measuring ruler since a thousand years ago, which is not only infinitely powerful but also helps my family's calculation method, so the Bai family has been a family since the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even if it comes to Daxuan, it is also ranked among the top in the twelfth family. As he spoke, a proud smile appeared on Bai Kaguya's face.

Only then did Zhang Qing understand why Bai Huiye's weapon was such a strange iron ruler, it turned out to be a family heirloom. He thought for a moment, then took out his Disaster Knife and showed it to Bai Huiye, and asked, "Then what grade is my weapon?"

Bai Huiye took it and appreciated it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The weapons from bottom to top are ordinary sharp weapons, treasure weapons, unique weapons, strange soldiers, and divine weapons, and it is said that there are immortal soldiers on the top, but they are all legendary things, and no one has ever seen them." You are a high-grade treasure weapon, even better than my iron ruler, and it is a rare weapon for innate warriors. Where did you get that?"

"Li Jianghui knows, he brought it here, according to his letter, this is a treasure he got by chance, and he wants to give it to my father as a gift. As a result, I didn't expect to die halfway, so I could only ask someone else to bring it. ”

Bai Huiye raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect to hear the news of this secret agent of the Martial Arts Division, and hurriedly asked, "I just followed his clues, where is his letter?"

Zhang Qingcai would not show him the letter, because Li Jianghui's idea in the letter was to ask Zhang Ling to offer the knife to the state lord, in case Bai Huiye saw it and wanted to take the knife away, he had nowhere to cry, but just said that the letter had been burned, and then retold the content to Bai Huiye.

Only then did Bai Huiye put on all the clues and understood why the Zhang family, which was located in Huinan, had this account book, although it provided ammunition to the state lord, the price was that the Zhang family only had one orphan left. At this time, he couldn't talk about this matter anymore, which made Zhang Qing sad, so he had to turn the topic back to the Jianghu matter.

"Speaking of divine soldiers, as far as I know, the three Buddhas and the three ways have been suppressed by divine soldiers, and the two academies pay attention to the text to carry the Tao, although there are no weapons of divine weapons, but each has a volume of ancient books and a brush, all of which are the remnants of ancient Confucianism, and the power is no less than that of Buddhism. As for the five factions of the sword, most of them have sword-like divine weapons, and among the six miscellaneous families, only Phoenix Mountain Villa has one divine weapon, and they are also the only miscellaneous family that has been handed down from the Zhou Dynasty. ”

Zhang Qing expressed his understanding, and asked again: "Then what kind of sect are the Seven Evil Demon Sects and the Four Extraterritorial Realms you mentioned before?"

"What I just said is basically the righteous path sect, each protecting a territory. Even if the disciples of the Eastern Zhou Sword Sect, the Blood Sword Sect, and the Mending Heaven Pavilion acted a little presumptuously, they were still good people and would not kill innocents indiscriminately and violate morality. However, the Seven Evil Demon Sects are different, they are completely evil style, the disciples in the sect only do things according to likes and dislikes, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and they are hostile to the righteous sects, and for the imperial court, they are also unstable factors, and it is precisely because of their existence that the relationship between the imperial court and the famous sects is not so stiff. Bai Ka Ye said with some sarcasm at the end.

Zhang Qing asked strangely: "Aren't you also from the imperial court, why do you talk a little gloating?"

Bai Huiye smiled and said with a little meaning: "I'm not from the imperial court, I'm from the family, to be precise, I'm from the Bai family." Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Qing thought about it and suddenly realized that the imperial court was composed of a royal family and a family, but the interests between the two were not completely consistent, and even the interests between the families were inconsistent, and they would only unite in order to maintain their authority. But as far as Bai Huiye is concerned, all he needs to pay attention to is the interests of the Bai family and his own interests, and for this, he can even damage the interests of the imperial court. Just like this time when he came to Yunzhou, he was not to maintain the prestige of the local government, but to fight for the Bai family to have more say in the imperial court, and at the same time to obtain enough resources for himself to be promoted. For him, now the official identity can be discarded at any time, but he has been a member of the Bai family all his life.

After understanding this truth, Zhang Qing didn't ask any questions, but continued the topic just now: "What about the Four Realms outside the territory, what kind of sect is it, why does it have such a strange name?"

Bai Huiye rarely showed an uncertain look, and he said carefully: "Although the Seven Evil Demon Sects are extremely protective of the location of their own mountain gates because they are evil sects, we are sure that they do exist. But the four realms outside the territory are different, they are mysterious, hidden from time to time, and for ordinary martial arts people, they have not even heard of it. Even I listened to the clan elder at home, but I only knew such a statement, and I didn't even know which four realms it was. I don't know if they are four sects or four realms. ”

Zhang Qing looked incredulous: "You don't even know whether they exist or not, so you put them on a par with various famous sects? Doesn't it mean that the declining sects will be demoted?"

Bai Huiye looked helpless: "I don't know why, the clan elders in the family teach like this, I can only learn like this, and tell you this, which is also the default of all major sects." ”

Zhang Qing had no choice but to shake his head: "Okay, forget it if you don't understand, Lao Bai, the next one should be the Twelfth Family, right?"

Bai Hui was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to call himself that, but he was open-minded, so it didn't matter, he just continued to introduce.

"That's right, the first thing to explain is that there is no family in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Do you know about the remnants of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty who retreated to Dongyi back then?" Seeing Zhang Qing nodding, Bai Huiye continued, "The families loyal to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were all scattered before entering the island, and their power was greatly reduced, so they gathered together and established the Eastern Zhou Sword Gate to defend Dongyi, so they can only be regarded as a sect. And whether it is Daxuan or Beiyao, they are all supported by the family. Xuan Bayao six, in which the royal family of Daxuan did not enter the family. ”

"The Daxuan royal family doesn't join the family, so the royal family of Beiyao is considered a family?" Zhang Qing was keenly aware of the meaning of Bai Huiye's words.

Bai Huiye nodded with satisfaction and replied: "That's right, the Ming family of the Beiyao Imperial Family is also a family, this is because Daxuan is rich in products and has a vast territory, so the imperial family Feng clan, which has obtained the greatest power in the imperial court, has far more power than other families when it was founded, and there are also celestial people and divine soldiers to suppress it, so it is a single column." Beiyao was first a collection of tribal alliances, and later took the opportunity to establish an imperial dynasty during the Xuandai Zhou. At that time, the Ming family was only slightly stronger than other families, although they were promoted as emperors, but it was only a name, and they could not even push administrative orders on the territory of other families. ”

"However, Daxuan and Beiyao have been established for more than 700 years, and they have long since changed. The Feng clan has not had a Heavenly and Human Realm royal family for more than two hundred years, while other Great Xuan families have been appearing one after another. Just like now, Langya Zhuge Qiong and Yuhang Wang Duan are both on the list of heaven and man, so the eight great families jointly suppressed the Feng clan and made it no longer strong. ”

"As for Beiyao, it is different, the Ming family has been talented since the founding of the People's Republic of China, constantly squeezing the space of other families, and the number of Beiyao families is small, which is easy to deal with. In this generation, there is a genius named Ming Yuzun, who has cultivated the treasure body of Zixiao Tianzi, and is the same in the country, even the pressure of Daxuan is very great, and he is on the defensive at the border. I estimate that if it weren't for the fact that there were too many top sects in the Great Xuan Territory, and the Heavenly and Human Realm masters of Beiyao would not have listened to the orders of the Ming Imperial Venerable, he would have gone south in a big way. ”

"On the other hand, don't look at where the family is, in fact, they all have their own children in the opposite country to become officials, which is also to share the risk and protect the incense. There are also children of the family who worship the entry school, although they cannot be awarded the core martial arts, but there are also those who occupy a high position in the sect. Therefore, although there are slightly fewer celestial and human realms in the family, it can also have a certain impact on the sect. ”

In the end, these are already secrets, ordinary people can only guess and think, and only the children of a family like Bai Huiye can say it so clearly, but they shouldn't talk about it casually. However, at this time, Bai Huiye guessed that Zhang Qing was a disciple of a certain foreign god master, anyway, it would be better to have a good relationship now to pave the way for the future, and he would know everything.

Only then did Zhang Qing understand the complex situation in the world, the sects, the royal family, and the family were entangled, you have me, I have you, and the Seven Evil Sects have nothing to do, so a deformed balance has been formed.
