Chapter 5: Secrecy
On the path, Huan often carried a painting basket on his back and walked slowly towards a village. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Ah Chang, I see that you have a good look in the past two months. ”
Recently, Yang Feng heard about his brother's reputation in the countryside, and he also felt very curious, so he wanted to follow Huan Chang to see it with his own eyes.
However, what puzzled him was that Huan Chang was very eager to practice martial arts before, but now he didn't say a word about it, but listened to his master's admonition and immersed himself in calligraphy and painting every day.
Huan Chang smiled slightly, but did not answer.
Breaking the cultivation routine and entering the Tao in an alternative way, even many martial artists are unheard of about this matter.
Although Yang Feng received Xu Yu's guidance and became a martial artist at the peak of the realm, after all, he was still shallow and didn't understand these at all.
In fact, the Book Sword Pavilion has always been a single line.
Xu Yu just casually pointed at Yang Feng, but he didn't treat him as a disciple.
Even if Yang Feng wanted to become an outer disciple, he didn't have that qualification at all.
In the past, Huan Chang may not have understood the true meaning of the three words of Shujian Pavilion, and he didn't know how powerful his sect was.
He also asked the master, but Xu Yu always frowned, and he didn't want to talk too much about things related to the sect.
Xu Yu avoided talking about the affairs of the sect, and Huan Chang became more and more curious.
Don't forget, Huan Chang has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and although his family is not very wealthy, he has a lot of books.
Huan Chang didn't get any useful news from Xu Yu, so he kept flipping through various classics, trying to find out the records about Shujian Pavilion.
Although there are many books in the house, Huan Chang has searched through almost all the books, but he has not found a single word about the Shujian Pavilion.
For a while, Huan Chang even felt that the sect he belonged to did not have the slightest reputation at all.
But unintentionally, Huan Chang found a yellowed book from a corner, and was shocked when he saw the contents.
This yellowed book not only mentions the Shujian Pavilion, but also records a history that has been deliberately erased.
The Kyushu continent, since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then the division of the princes of the world until today, two thousand years have passed.
Eight hundred years after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the once glorious empire has completely declined, but the vassal states that were divided at the beginning have gradually become stronger.
The strength of the princes naturally brought ambition and war.
The princes reformed their internal affairs and trained their armies, and the countries were fighting against each other, and the people were struggling to make a living.
The war promoted the development of martial arts, and when one after another amazing and brilliant people were disgusted with the war, they hid in the deep mountains and old forests to practice.
Not only these martial arts masters, but also many ordinary people have taken refuge in the mountains in order to escape the war.
Those martial arts masters naturally wanted to find disciples and pass on what they had learned in their lives, and slowly formed one sect after another.
These sects do not obey the discipline of the princes, but they will not interfere in the affairs of the princes, and they study martial arts every day and pursue the ultimate of the Tao.
It was precisely because the various sects were obsessed with studying martial arts that the martial arts began to flourish, and the strong men of the sects far exceeded the vassal states.
The rise of the sect did not attract the attention of the princes at first.
However, martial arts have developed to a certain extent, and the lethality of the top masters has become more and more powerful, which has finally aroused the vigilance of the princes, and also attracted the princes' suppression of the sects in the territory.
There was a prince who once sent an army to exterminate a large faction in the territory, but he didn't want to get into trouble.
The first elder of this sect is the supreme powerhouse of the peak realm of transcendence.
This person entered the palace with a single sword, first beheaded the monarch, and then killed all 38 members of the princes' clans, and then under the siege of 3,000 elite armor soldiers, killed half of them and retreated.
After this battle, the world was shocked.
Although the princes knew that after a long period of transformation, those martial arts peak powerhouses had reached a terrifying realm.
But no one thought that the real supreme powerhouse would be so terrifying.
The pressure brought by the sect made the princes frightened, and they stopped the war one after another, wanting to get the cultivation techniques of the various sects.
It's just that the vigilance of the various sects against the princes is extremely strong, and the acceptance of disciples is also very strict.
Not only that, since the top martial arts powerhouse showed his own means, the sects that were indisputable at the beginning also showed their sharp fangs.
They stood on their own feet and did not submit to the discipline of the princes.
The disciples of the Great Sect also often travel the world, and as long as they encounter injustices, no matter what the identity of the other party is, they dare to take care of it.
Some princes ruled brutally, and some warriors even dared to openly assassinate the monarch without regard for the princes' decrees.
Such a group of warriors was finally given the title of 'chivalry' and was respected by the world.
Not only that, every kind of martial arts is a kind of Tao, martial arts and Tao are also closely related to life, and the emergence of martial arts has also given birth to a large number of Confucian scholars.
These Confucian scholars used martial arts to expound the Tao and practice martial arts with the Tao, and created their own schools of thought, preaching truth, goodness and beauty and their own Tao among the vassal states.
Confucianism is virtuous, and chivalry is martial arts.
At that time, it was the most glorious time in the Kyushu Continent, and although the princes were in a dominant position, they trembled and did not dare to act at will.
Some are just open-minded, with vigorous chivalry.
It's just that time can change a lot of things.
Even those Confucian scholars who entered the Tao with martial arts, as well as chivalrous warriors who were praised by the world, also had a day of deterioration.
Power, fame, and desire still corrupt a large number of people after all.
The rise of the sect and the degeneration of Confucian scholars and chivalrous men made the princes miserable.
Those powerful super sects can even decide the life and death of a vassal state with their own strength.
When Confucianism not only pursued the Tao, when chivalrous men walked the world not only for righteousness, when the various sects divided one side and obstructed the princes' decrees.
In the past, Confucianism used literature to establish morality, and chivalry used martial arts to help the world, but it finally evolved into Confucianism to violate the law with literature, and chivalry to violate the ban with martial arts.
There are even powerful sects that manipulate some small vassal states to wage wars to expand their power, so as to promote their sect's understanding of the Tao and expand their influence.
Driven by desire, the Kyushu continent, which had been calm for four hundred years, finally began to fight again.
After three hundred years of conquest, the once large and small vassal states have become smaller and fewer, and the population of the Kyushu continent has dropped very sharply.
As for those large and small sects, they are becoming more and more numerous.
The deformed development of the sects finally angered the princes of the world.
Heroes emerge from troubled times.
Three hundred years ago, five heroes emerged, they were the Duke of Qi Huan, the Duke of Song Xiang, the Duke of Wen of Jin, the Duke of Qin Mu, and the King of Chuzhuang.
These five princes were the most powerful vassal states at that time.
After secretly accumulating power and uniting some people with lofty ideals, the princes finally launched the most fierce counterattack against the various major factions.
At that time, although many sects stirred up the world, there were still some sects that were dedicated to the Tao and hid in the world and did not ask about the world.
This kind of hidden sect, although the people are thin, the masters in the sect are very terrifying.
The five princes secretly contacted the five hermit sects, knew them with affection, moved them with reason, and finally got the support of the five hermit sects.
In this way, several overlords who had been planning for a long time, united with the top powerhouses of the five hidden world sects, and set off a bloody storm on the Kyushu continent.
Many sects that turned their backs on their purpose were also completely wiped out in that war, and even some super sects almost perished.
"Hey. ”
Thinking of the record in that book, Huan Chang sighed deeply, he didn't expect that there was such a secret in the Kyushu Continent.
It's just that when the book was recorded here, it also came to an abrupt end.
As for the war between the five princes and the sects, who won and who lost, it was not written.
"Of the five vassal states of the past, the State of Qin has been reduced to a small country, and the State of Song, although it still exists, has changed its owner. ”
"As for the powerful Jin state, it completely collapsed and split into three states: Zhao, Wei, and Han. ”
"From this point of view, the battle should have been lost by the princes. ”
Although Huan Chang has thought about it this way, he is a little unsure when he thinks of the various sects today.
After all, although the princes of the current sects did not dare to provoke easily, they were not as unscrupulous as they were three hundred years ago.
It seems that these sects have also been constrained.
What's more, the hidden sects that followed the five princes at the beginning, they did not perish, and if you think about it this way, it seems that the various sects have not won either.
Huan Chang can imagine that if the battle was really a victory for the various sects, the five hidden sects that helped the princes would definitely be razed to the ground.
But at least, although the Book Sword Pavilion was hidden in the world, it was not destroyed after all.
Yes, the five hidden sects that helped the princes at the beginning included the Shujian Pavilion, which is the sect where Huan Chang is located.
According to the record of only a few words in the book, the sect master of the Shujian Pavilion followed Song Xianggong at that time and was besieged by the masters of the eight hundred sects.
But in that battle, the sect master of the Book Sword Pavilion held a pen in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and he was tightly guarding Song Xianggong's side, not leaving an inch.
After the first battle, most of the 800 masters suffered casualties, and the rest of the people were terrified and fled in confusion.
It must be known that these 800 people are not ordinary soldiers, but real masters, and the worst one is a strong person in the realm of entering the room.
Even, even the supreme powerhouses of the mortal realm are not uncommon. However, the sect master of the Book Sword Pavilion still slaughtered in all directions, and his demeanor shone in Kyushu.
It can be seen from this that the original Sect Master of the Book Sword Pavilion was so terrifying.
"The Book Sword Pavilion is almost a single lineage, and each generation of disciples must have the strength to be the best in the world before they are qualified to inherit the mantle of the Book Sword Pavilion. ”
Huan Chang's eyes flashed with light, and there was yearning and longing in them.
He knew that the master didn't explain the past of the Shujian Pavilion to him because he didn't want to put pressure on himself. Since Ke Huan Chang is the successor of the contemporary Shujian Pavilion, he naturally has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the sect.
After all, since the battle in the three hundred years, the Book Sword Pavilion was on the Kyushu Continent, and there were no more rumors.
The glorious past at the beginning seems to have been deliberately erased.
A determined look flashed in Huan Chang's eyes, and he clenched his fists and thought: "Shujian Pavilion, you must not be so nameless!"
