"Senior, my Qingcheng faction has a history of thousands of years, and since I came, the position of head of the sect is held by the disciples of this sect. But the predecessor of the Royal Dragon Son is not a disciple of my faction, why would he be in charge of my faction?" Shen Lingxiao was curious.

"The general trend of the world, divided for a long time, must be united, and for a long time, it must be divided. The relationship between people, how can this not be the case?" Hyacinth shook his head, "Qingwuzi and the brothers of the Royal Dragon Sect joined forces to break through the rivers and lakes, and there was almost no resistance in the world, and they had become the leaders of the martial arts alliance at that time; Alas, it is enough to sigh too!"

"Qingwuzi's predecessors are both senior brothers, and their personalities are good, so the position of the nineteenth generation of the head of the family, passed on to him, is expected by everyone; Yulongzi's predecessors have a somewhat extreme personality, but they are so strong, and their martial arts are inseparable from their senior brothers, but because they are junior brothers, they can't get the opportunity to inherit the mantle, so they are very unwilling......"

"For this problem, the eighteenth generation of the head of Cangsongzi predecessors was helpless, at the beginning I wanted to let the two of them jointly take charge of Kongtong, but the elders strongly objected, saying that 'there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two monarchs in the country', there is no such reason since ancient times. It makes sense for Cangsongzi's predecessors to think about it, so they gave up this idea, so they made Qingwuzi's predecessors the nineteenth generation head......"

For this move, the predecessors of Yulongzi felt that the head of Cangsongzi and the elders were too partial, and they were not convinced, but also ashamed and embarrassed, so they left the mountain angrily. ”

"With such a talent, all major sects are naturally crazy to grab it. The predecessor of Yulongzi was arrogant, and of course he didn't want to be subordinate, so he let out his words, saying that he would not consider it until he made himself the head of the faction. All the factions are worried that this is a conspiracy by our Kongtong faction to steal the position of the head of the other faction, so they naturally refuse to agree, except for you, the Qingcheng faction......"

"So, did the predecessor of the Royal Dragon Son take charge of my Qingcheng faction?"

"Exactly!" Hyacinth nodded, "Actually, the reason why your faction is willing to agree is indeed a helpless move! Because at that time, your faction was withering day by day, and there was a long-standing enmity with the Snow Mountain faction in northern Sichuan, for more than ten years, the Snow Mountain faction killed more than 20 elites of your faction in a row, but still did not forgive. Don't talk about revenge for your faction, it's too late to protect yourself, and now that you're going to destroy the faction......"

"So, the predecessors of the Royal Dragon Son only went to the Snow Mountain, defeated the head of the Snow Mountain Gong Tai in three moves, and severely damaged the twelve masters of the Snow Mountain with ten swords, and immediately ordered the entire Snow Mountain faction to bow down, promising not to seek revenge in the future, and the grievances between the two factions were also over......"

"After the predecessors of Yulongzi took charge of the Qingcheng faction, after more than ten years of painstaking management, they finally developed into a martial arts faction close to the strength of my Kongtong and Shaolin. Since then, the Qingcheng faction has also been among the nine major factions of martial arts......"

In his old age, the predecessors of Yulongzi were deeply ashamed of their behavior of leaving the mountain in a negative spirit, so they went to Kongtong in person and apologized to the predecessors of Qingwuzi. Seeing that the junior brother was able to set up another door wall and develop the Qingcheng faction so prosperous, the Qingwuzi seniors were overjoyed, how could they still have a grudge? Finally, the senior brothers reconciled, and both made a will before the death of the immortals, to value the two factions, from generation to generation, like brothers. For many years, the two factions have been doing this......"

Hyacinth took a sip of tea, was silent for a while, and continued: "In the early Song Dynasty, my Kongtong faction began to decline, and finally fell out of the nine major martial arts factions......

"Who stole it?"

"Alas, I'm ashamed to say it, I don't know, and I haven't been able to find out yet. Hyacinth shook his head gloomily, "Some seniors suspect that this is the work of Longhu Mountain, because their one-qi yin and yang magic skills are very similar to the phaseless magic skills in "Kongtong Jue". ”

"There are also predecessors who believe that it is the work of the Quanzhen School, because its cultivation method of innate skills is very similar to the Wuxiang Divine Skill......

"There are also people who think that this is the Kunlun faction's doing, because the technique of its double flying ring stunt is almost the same as the 'Six Void Sword Technique'; the difference is that they are connected to a steel chain on the flying ring, and the real 'Six Void Sword Technique' is a sword with qi, and there is no need to tie a steel chain at all...... Because of the loss of the "Kongtong Jue", he could not cultivate the Phaseless Divine Skill, and the poor Dao skill was not caught, so he also followed the Kunlun School and practiced the 'Six Void Sword Technique' with a steel chain on the hilt of the sword. However, how can the poor Dao be practiced to the state of 'crying blood and flying cold', in my opinion, 'snot and snot flying ashamed', it's pretty much the same!

Shen Lingxiao: "The seniors are too humble!"

"Ahem—" Hyacinth coughed violently, his face became paler, and then he gasped sharply.

"Senior, do you want to take a break!"

"Don't worry!" Hyacinth waved his hand, slowly calmed down, raised his eyes to look at Shen Lingxiao, smiled a little embarrassedly, and continued: "Some people also say that the theft of "Kongtong Jue" was done by your faction. The reason is very simple: in this way, only your faction has this supreme skill, so that it can dominate ......"

Shen Lingxiao smiled, shook his head, and said, "Senior, is there any evidence for these speculations?"

"Nope. Hyacinth smiled wryly.

Shen Lingxiao's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Regarding this matter, who else in the martial arts knows about it?"

"I believe that except for the heads of our sect and the elders, only the scripture thief knows. ”

"Oh. Shen Lingxiao bowed his head lightly, thoughtful. "Seniors, there is a saying that 'geese have left traces'. Could it be that before and after the theft of the Kongtong Jue, there was nothing unusual about your faction?"

"In this way, there will be flaws or clues, and then, if you look further, it will not be difficult to find out, right?" Hyacinth smiled.

"Yes. That's what the younger generation meant. ”

"But the problem is: I don't know the specific time of theft of Kongtong Jue!" Hyacinth shook his head in disappointment. "From the time when Han Qiuzi, the twenty-fourth generation of the head of the sect, sealed the "Kongtong Jue" before retreating and cultivating, to the time when the scripture book was found to be stolen, a full 16 years have passed. In the meantime, no one has ever opened the seal and touched the scriptures, so how can you tell when it was stolen?...... In the past sixteen years, how many martial arts figures have gone up and down on Kongtong Mountain, and how can they determine which sect and sect they did, and which one is sacred?"

Shen Lingxiao was speechless.

"Shen Shaoxia, to be honest, one of the reasons why my junior brother and I were suspicious of your move to go up the mountain was because we suspected that the mental formula of your sect was lost, or like my faction, even the ancient book was stolen, so I wanted to get the secret book of "Kongtong Jue" to cultivate...... However, after observing and analyzing Shen Shaoxia's words and deeds for many days, I completely denied this erroneous idea...... It's just that out of desperation, I still hurt the young man, don't blame it!

Shen Lingxiao hurriedly got up and bowed, and said in his heart: "Forced to be helpless? Hmph, I think you are raising your sword and standing up! This old guy is so cunning!"

"My faction lost the "Kongtong Jue", and naturally the river is declining, but your faction has many masters. Especially in the early years of the Song Dynasty, Gui sent a predecessor who was recognized as the number one master in the world in martial arts......"

"Hey, even you know this?" Shen Lingxiao looked at him in surprise.

"Hehe, for this kind of sensational martial arts anecdotes, of course, there are records in the classics of my Kongtong faction;

"Yi Xin's predecessor and Yue Zidong, the head of the Huashan faction, are close friends. It is said that Yi Xin's predecessors once passed on the "Qingcheng Secret Record" and "Imperial Sword Divine Illusion Skill" to him in a half-learning and half-teaching way. And the Huashan faction's "Zixia Divine Skill" and "Dugu Nine Swords" are the ...... created by Yue Zidong's predecessors on this basis."

"What? senior, do you mean: the Huashan faction's stunt actually came from my Qingcheng faction?" Shen Lingxiao was surprised.

"Hehe, the legends of the rivers and lakes at that time! Who really knows? After a long time, who still knows these past events?"

"Then ...... "Zixia Divine Skill" and "Dugu Nine Swords", compared to the "Qingcheng Secret Record" and "Imperial Sword Divine Illusion Skill" of my faction, which one is more powerful?" Shen Lingxiao asked.

"This ......" Hyacinth smiled, "Hehe, you ask me, who do I ask?...... Anyway, since Yi Xin's predecessors, your Qingcheng faction has gradually declined, just like my Kongtong faction. On the contrary, the Huashan faction descended from Yue Zidong and produced a large number of martial arts and strange materials within a few generations, and the Huashan faction also dominated the martial arts for nearly a hundred years......"

"Is it more powerful than Shaolin and Wudang?"

"Of course! Its strength and status are ...... like today's Shaolin," Hyacinth thought for a moment and added: "Besides, there was no Wudang at that time! Not only was there no Wudang, but even the Quanzhen Sect had not yet been founded." ”

"Oh, is it?...... Then how do you say that the innate skills of the Quanzhen School may come from the Wuxiang Divine Skills of your school?"

"Whew!who's sure?" Hyacinth looked at him with some displeasure, and said, "It's just a suspicion! No one has any evidence...... In fact, the martial arts of our Daomen originally came from the same source, so the peerless learning of each faction is very similar, and who dares to say which faction has stolen the peerless learning of which faction?......

Hyacinth nagged a few more words, and got back to business:

“...... The Huashan faction was later divided into two sects: qi and sword. Because the Qi Sect is difficult to practice, the Sword Sect is easy to become, and gradually, the Qi Sect declines, and the Sword Sect prevails. It's just that whether it is a disciple of the Qi Sect or the Sword Sect, the cultivation can no longer reach the realm of the sages, and it has gradually declined......"

"After the Huashan faction, it is the Quanzhen faction that dominates the martial arts. Wang Chongyang, the patriarch of the Quanzhen School, is an unborn martial arts wonder, who has cultivated the stunts of "Innate Gong" and "One Yang Finger", and is invincible in the world. However, some people say that the internal strength of his "Innate Gong" is derived from the "Zixia Divine Gong" of the Huashan School, and the stunt of "One Yang Finger" is learned from Dali Duan's. ”

At that time, the authentic internal strength of the Daomen was mastered by the Quanzhen School again, and almost at the same time, Longhu Mountain also rose, and its "One Qi Yin and Yang Divine Gong" was not much better than the "Innate Gong" of the Quanzhen School. ”

"The Quanzhen faction and the Dragon and Tiger Mountains only flourished for three or four generations, and after that, the Wudang faction rose. The founder of the Wudang faction, Sanfeng Zhenren, is a martial arts master who shook the past and the present, not only studied Shaolin's mastery, but also integrated it into Taoist martial arts, resulting in nearly two hundred years, the Wudang faction has been prosperous, and Shaolin keeps pace with the ......"

"The Kunlun faction's martial arts are also very strong, so ...... Which school of their martial arts are inherited?" Shen Lingxiao asked with great interest.

"Is this it? It's hard to say...... The martial arts of the Kunlun faction are very mixed. It is said that its swordsmanship is mainly inherited from the Tianshan School, and its flying ring stunt ,——as I said just now,—— seems to be a method that imitates the 'Six Void Swordsmanship' of our school...... Therefore, the Kunlun faction has never produced a martial arts champion in the world......"

"Senior, have you heard of Dongfang Zhen?" Shen Lingxiao suddenly interjected when he heard this.

"Of course I've heard of it! This young man is from the Kunlun faction, and he is recognized as the number one master of the young generation in our Dao Sect!"

"That's it! Senior, why do you mean that the Kunlun faction is ...... Isn't it strong?"

"Hehe, this can only be explained as: that Dongfang Zhen's qualifications are extremely good, so martial arts cultivation can reach such a state. Hyacinth argued. "But I still insist that the Kunlun faction's internal strength and mental method are not authentic!"

"The younger generations feel that cultivation depends on each person! Therefore, no matter which sect or sect, there will be outstanding people. ”

"You're right!" Hyacinth snapped his head and turned around. "However, if you can really cultivate your sect's peerless learning, I can guarantee that Dongfang Zhen will definitely not be your opponent!"

Regarding this question, Shen Lingxiao didn't even dare to think about it, he was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "How is it possible?...... The seniors laughed......"

Hyacinth stared at his eyes and said solemnly: "There are countless poor people, so it can be seen that Shen Shaoxia's qualifications are extraordinary! Therefore, you must have this confidence!"

"The seniors praised it falsely! It's just ...... It's really ashamed!" Shen Lingxiao was flattered, and at the same time, he couldn't understand why not only did the master say that he had Huigen, but even Broken Hongzi and Hyacinth said so?

"The poor road is already a person who is about to die, and a person who is said to be dying, and his spirit is psychic. Therefore, Poor Dao hereby leaves the words: Unless that Dongfang Zhen has another adventure in the future, otherwise, you must be above him in his achievements!"

Shen Lingxiao was dumbfounded and looked at him blankly.

“...... What's really terrifying is Buddhism, especially that Shaolin!" Hyacinth's expression became extremely serious, "Shen Shaoxia, you should have heard of the 'Three Masters of Buddhism'!"

"Oh...... Of course!" Shen Lingxiao came back to his senses.

"I think: none of the 'Three Masters of Buddhism' is comparable to that Dongfang Zhen!"

"This ...... I don't think so!" Shen Lingxiao disagreed in his mouth, but he didn't have any bottom in his heart.

"Hmph, not necessarily?...... Especially that Shaolin Zhao Yanhao, I dare to guarantee: even if Dongfang Zhen practices for another hundred years, he is not an opponent of others!"

"Senior, have you seen that Zhao Yanhao?"

"Yes, I've met once. ”

"You've seen Dongfang Zhen too?"

"Not really. ”

"That'...... Why are you so sure?"

"It's simple: the difference in sects. Hyacinth analyzed: "Even if their qualifications are similar, or that Dongfang Zhen is still a little higher, but that Zhao Yanhao can not only practice the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin, but also practice the stunts of various sects and sects that have been collected in Shaolin for thousands of years?...... Tell me, how can Dongfang Zhen catch up with others?"

Shen Lingxiao was silent, and his heart suddenly became very heavy.

"Therefore, no matter which dynasty or generation, among the martial arts, the truly terrifying sect is the Shaolin faction!"

"Terrible?" Shen Lingxiao refused to agree, "The Shaolin faction has always upheld justice, how can it be said that it is terrible?"

"Hehe, I mean martial arts!" Hyacinth shook his head, "Shen Shaoxia, think about it: if the "Qingcheng Secret Record" you sent has been lost, but it can be found in the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion,—— of course, I don't mean that you will find an ancient book, but a transcription,—— then you think, isn't this terrible?"
