Chapter 16: The Secret History of Sword Qi (2)

With the sword at his waist, Situ Xuan carried the rice basket that Zhao Bufan had used yesterday with one hand, and quickly descended along the winding mountain road. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info from the cliff to the station of the Huashan faction, it generally takes half an hour to climb the mountain slowly, if you run fast with light power, in addition to the thrilling excitement of riding a roller coaster, it takes about two quarters of an hour.

Situ Xuan calculated this distance with his own foot strength, about five or six kilometers, plus the distance from the station to the mountain gate, there are more than ten kilometers of mountain roads up and down the Jade Girl Peak alone, and these mountain roads are paved by long bluestones, one zhang wide and three feet narrow. In the Ming Dynasty, where productivity was low, if you want to build such a bluestone mountain road, it takes at least tens of thousands of people to do it for three or five years, which is still on-site logging and quarrying, if you transport wood and stone from the bottom of the mountain, this project may be several times more complicated, so it is not difficult to imagine the glory of the Huashan faction in those years.

Thinking of going down the mountain, Zhao Bufan said to Situ Xuan with a thief's eyebrows: "If you still don't know where to start, you might as well go to your Uncle Li for advice, he will definitely surprise you." ”

By the time Situ Xuan asked, Zhao Bufan had already reflexively returned to the cave where he thought about the cliff, and he couldn't call it out, so he only said that if he wanted to thank him, he would prepare an extra jar of good wine next time.

Situ Xuan sent the rice basket to the canteen, turned around and came to the 'Sword Intent Volley' hall, Ning Qingcheng, as the head of the Huashan faction, did not have too much daily work, most of the things in the sect had gradually been handed over to Yue Buqun, Ning Qingcheng only needed to make a final decision. In fact, when Yue Buqun got married a few months ago, Ning Qingcheng was ready to announce that Yue Buqun would be the deputy head of the Huashan faction, but unfortunately Yue Buqun's wedding was disturbed by the Demon Sect's attack on Shanxi, and Ning Qingcheng's decision was not announced to the rivers and lakes, but the Huashan faction had already acquiesced to Yue Buqun's position as the deputy head. As for the daily chores such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt, Liang Buli is responsible for taking care of several stewards.

Although he couldn't understand how superb Yixue skills could be beneficial to martial arts, Situ Xuan knew very plainly that most of the profound classics involved in the direction of the 8864 hexagrams of the I Ching, and often quoted allusions from the I Ching. Such as "Ling Bo Weibu", such as "Dugu Nine Swords". In the past, when he was in the Iron Sword Gate, no one was proficient in the Book of Changes, but now Ning Qingcheng can explain the Book of Changes to himself every day, and Situ Xuan knows that the opportunity is rare, so he naturally studies hard.

It's a pity that Ling Hu Chong is really not a material for learning, and he hates these things on paper to the extreme, and at the beginning, at the request of Yue Buqun, he followed Ning Qingcheng with Situ Xuan every day to learn easy to learn. After studying for half a month, Ling Hu Chong found that he still didn't know anything, so he slowly ignored this homework. It was Situ Xuan's coercion and temptation that forced Ling Hu Chong to study for another half a month, and finally wrote down the direction and name of the 8864 hexagrams of the I Ching.

There are a total of 8864 hexagrams in the Book of Changes, Ning Qingcheng talks about one every day, starting from the very first elephant, explaining how to start the hexagram, and then reciting the hexagram and songs, and from time to time to quote allusions such as "Preface Hexagram Biography" and "Yi", and finally explain the meaning of this hexagram and its position in the Bagua compass.

Situ Xuanyi's learning skills are basically zero, and he has to spend a lot of effort to memorize and analyze every day, and he has memorized a thick codex in a month, and he has to keep reviewing and reciting at night, and he can finally keep up with Ning Qingcheng's teaching progress.

On this day, Ning Qingcheng talked about the forty-second hexagram, the benefit hexagram, the benefit hexagram is also known as the wind and thunder benefit, the wind and thunder hexagram, the loss of the upper and the lower, but the upper and upper hexagrams. The hexagram says: When the time comes, the dead wood blooms again, the branches and leaves are reborn and luxuriant, and a few people see a few people and praise it. This hexagram is a superposition of different hexagrams, the lower shock is the upper Xun, the Xun is the wind, and the earthquake is the thunder. The wind and thunder are agitated, the stronger its momentum, the louder the thunder, and the wind and thunder help each other to grow and help each other.

I only heard Ning Qingcheng say: "Wind and thunder help each other, it is good, the ten major halls of the Demon Sect, among which the strength of the Wind and Thunder Hall has always been ranked in the top few, because the Wind and Thunder Hall has a descendant martial arts "Wind and Thunder Divine Skill". After Huang Zhongtao, who now lives in seclusion in Heimu Cliff and claims to be alone and seeking defeat, he has practiced this "Wind and Thunder Divine Skill" and comprehended the wind and thunder sword intent in it, so as to enter the realm of the grandmaster, and now the master of the Wind and Thunder Hall, Tong Baixiong, is Huang Zhongtao's registered disciple. ”

Ning Qingcheng continued to explain: "Back then, the Ten Elders of the Demon Sect besieged Huashan, and many of the exquisite martial arts of our Wuyue Sword Sect were lost with the fall of the masters of each faction, but under the fight for their lives, it also made us understand and remember the martial arts of the Ten Elders of the Demon Sect. ”

Situ Xuan asked, "Is this the Wind and Thunder Divine Skill?"

Ning Qingcheng nodded and said, "That's right, Xun is the wind, the earthquake is thunder, and the wind and thunder are agitated." The wind is yin, the thunder is yang, and the yin and yang are combined, which shows that this "Wind and Thunder Divine Skill" is an extremely clever set of martial arts. It is said that the wind and thunder god and demon weighed thousands of miles back then, with a pair of fleshy palms, every blow was the intersection of wind and thunder, yin and yang complemented each other, and the true qi was extremely thick, only the sect master of our qi sect could suppress this demon with the "Zixia Divine Skill" of the third step of the Ziyang realm. ”

Situ Xuan didn't understand a little, and immediately asked: "Master, hearing you say this, this Wind and Thunder God and Demon should be a kind of comprehension of fist intent and palm intent, why is the same martial art, that Dugu seeking defeat but comprehending sword intent?"

Ning Qingcheng said: "Whether it is the sword fist method, or the palm knife method, it is just the external manifestation of martial arts, for the master master, there is no essential difference between sword intent and fist intent, it is a summary of the martial arts that he has learned in his life, and some people practice sword all their lives, and naturally realize the sword intent." For example, I use my fingers as a sword and use my fingers to urge sword intent, do you say that I am striking sword intent or finger intent?" said and stretched out his finger to Situ Xuan, and then his five fingers tightened and made a cutting motion, and said: "This can also send out sword intent, do you say this is sword intent or palm intent, or even knife intent?"

Situ Xuan understood this time, and hurriedly bowed down to be taught.

Ning Qingcheng said again: "After seeing the Demon Sect's Wind and Thunder Divine Skill, there is a great master of the Sword Sect who also wants to create a similar Wind and Thunder Sword Technique, but unfortunately the differences between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect are getting bigger and bigger, and there is no Qi Sect master to help Yi Li's sword technique, and the people of the Sword Sect can only go further and further in the study of moves. Later, they thought of creating a swordsmanship that was as fast as the wind, and then used a strong internal force to urge the sound of wind and thunder, but this had abandoned the original intention of this martial art, gave up the 'Dao', and fell into the 'technique'. It's a pity that until the battle of sword qi, the Sword Sect did not create this sword technique. Moreover, Xun is the wind, the wind is yin, the Sword Sect wants to use the pure yang internal strength of our Huashan faction to promote the sword of the wind, in terms of attributes, it is inherently contradictory, even if the descendants of the Sword Sect can perfect this set of swordsmanship, it is not a brilliant martial art. ”

Situ Xuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he didn't expect that from the aspect of Yi Li alone, Ning Qingcheng would be able to judge that "Tempest Fast Sword" had no way out. It's really pitiful Feng Buping, this guy has good qualifications, at least not weaker than Zhao Bufan, Li Buyi and others, but he is going farther and farther on the wrong road, wanting to surpass Yue Buqun and regain the position of the head of Huashan. The so-called 'famous teachers produce high apprentices', this is a very representative embodiment.

Remembering the last time he talked to Yue Buqun about the difference between the Sword Sect Qi Sect, Yue Buqun only said that the two sides practiced different foundation internal strength, but did not say the difference in the concepts of the two sides, just this time Ning Qingcheng mentioned the old matter of the Sword Sect Qi Sect, Situ Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Isn't there a person in the Sword Sect who is clear and easy to understand the way and refine the sword theory?" In this way, the cultivation concept of the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect is not very different. ”

Ning Qingcheng glanced at Situ Xuan, obviously didn't expect this kid to ask such a question, and thought for a moment before replying: "The fundamental difference between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect is the most important thing is the difference in the 'cultivation philosophy' you just mentioned, not the superficial 'heavy qi' or 'heavy sword'. This is the question of where to go after the decline of the Daomen Neidan faction. ”

With a long sigh, Ning Qingcheng continued: "Whether it is the Ziyang Sect or the Quanzhen Sect, in fact, they are all Daomen Neidan Sect, and the vast majority of the sects are Taoist priests, the goal of these Taoist priests is the Pure Yang Patriarch, Chongyang Patriarch, Ziyang Patriarch, this kind of land immortal realm that can sit and look at it for a long time, they don't practice martial arts on weekdays, at most they practice one or two swordsmanship for self-protection, these people are far more interested in Dan Dao than Kendo. But a hundred years ago, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi became thinner and thinner, and even the production of Heavenly and Earth Treasures and rare drugs gradually decreased, and it was very difficult for Taoist priests to refine and practice Qi, so the Huashan Sect was slowly divided into the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect. The Qi Sect wants to follow the old path of the Wai Dan Sect, since the Yuan Qi Pills are scarce, then rely on the life star and supplement it with star power, so the Qi Sect Masters of the past generations are all people who have comprehended the life star, and they can all advance to the realm of the grandmaster. The Sword Sect is different, the Sword Sect has changed the way of true martial arts, their idea is to polish the day after tomorrow, reverse the acquired as the congenital, sublimate the state of mind cultivation and lifelong comprehension, condense the sword intent fist intent, and advance to the realm of the grandmaster. In the realm of the grandmaster, condense thousands of sword intents in one, and preach the heavens with the momentum of ten thousand swords returning to the sect. ”

Situ Xuan didn't expect that there was such a relationship, and he couldn't help asking: "Can anyone succeed in the Sword Sect?" How do the grandmasters and great masters on the rivers and lakes cultivate now, and which path does the Shaolin Wudang grandmaster take? ”

Ning Qingcheng replied: "Now the grandmasters and great masters on the rivers and lakes are basically promoted with the path of true martial arts, although no one has yet advanced to the realm of heaven with this, but the prosperity of the rivers and lakes now actually proves the feasibility of the path of true martial arts. You must have heard the stories of many people who broke through and stood up after the bloody battle and became a grandmaster, in fact, these people are the true martial arts path they have taken. On the other hand, have you heard of who did the Pure Yang Patriarch Lu Dongbin fight with, and then survived to enlightenment? What about the Chongyang Patriarch and the Ziyang Patriarch? You haven't heard of who they entered the Heavenly Dao Realm after defeating them, and there is also Wudang Zhang Zhenren, so these are the final achievers of the Waidan Sect. ”

After being silent for a moment, Ning Qingcheng said again: "Huang Zhongtao comprehended the four sword intents, and then condensed the sword intent with the fourth-level secret method, originally he had the greatest hope of advancing to the Heavenly Dao Realm, and he could open up a precedent for the path of true martial arts. It's a pity that the four foundation martial arts he chose have different origins of Buddhism and Taoism, and they are different from each other, making it difficult to smelt and mix. Later, it was abolished by Shaolin Temple, and completely lost the hope of entering the Heavenly Dao. If he was able to create the four martial arts by himself back then, then his hope of entering the Heavenly Dao Realm would have greatly increased. ”

Situ Xuan nodded after hearing this, and said in his heart No wonder Yue Buqun didn't dare to say it to himself, only Ning Qingcheng could say this. Changing to other Huashan disciples, saying this point of view is tantamount to whitewashing the Sword Sect, not to mention being punished by Ning Qingcheng, at least being blinded. Situ Xuan thought for a while and said in a low voice: "In this way, the Sword Sect also has its rightness, and our Qi Sect is not completely right." Otherwise, other Jianghu sects, so many masters, would have chosen a path similar to that of the Sword Sect. ”

Ning Qingchang sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that this truth was realized by us with the lives of hundreds of disciples after the Sword Sect Qi Sect fought. Even if we go to the Sword Sect to make peace now, the Sword Sect may not agree, and some of the ideas of the Sword Sect are indeed extreme, which is not completely correct. But that's fine, now that the Qi Sect is in the light and the Sword Sect is in the dark, even if the Qi Sect suffers misfortune, our Huashan Sect will have more or less the Sword Sect to pass it on. Situ Xuan sneered in his heart, but it was a pity that the people of the Sword Sect were finally used by Zuo Lengchan.

The new book is released, I hope the brothers will collect and recommend more!
