Chapter 14: The Story Is Telling

Ning Xiao wanted to worship Ximen Xue as a teacher and learn the sword washing palace sword method. Ximen Xue saw that Ning Xiao was just admiring the chic posture of swordsmanship, not liking swords, and it was not in line with the concept of washing the sword palace, so she decided to come up with three questions to make Ning Xiao retreat. The first question is to give what he has gained in his heart after sharpening the sword with a thousand handles, Ning Xiao believes that the sword is a tool of people, people should not be controlled by the sword, and should not entrust a part of their feelings to the sword, such a view is even more incompatible with the martial arts of the Sword Washing Palace, Ximen Xue strengthened the confidence that he would not accept Ning Xiao as a disciple, and also warned Ning Xiao: "This is the answer you came up with after sharpening the sword with a thousand handles, cherish it, protect it, insist on it, and prove it!"

"The second question, I will explain for you Zhang Buer's past in the Sword Washing Palace, please evaluate him according to these. Ximen Xue said.

Ning Xiao and Li Linxi glanced at each other, both surprised. After all, Zhang Buer defected to the Sword Washing Palace, and the Sword Washing Palace's attitude towards Zhang Buer should be secretive, even if the two sides are allies now, there is no need to expose their scars, right?

Ximen Xue saw that the two were confused, and explained: "My Sword Washing Palace has always been right and wrong, we will admit that we are wrong, and the other party will ask the other party to apologize if we are wrong, Zhang Buer's defection has passed, and there is nothing that I can't say about my Sword Washing Palace." ”

When Ning Xiao heard this, he sighed in his heart, he was worthy of being one of the six major factions of the Sword Washing Palace, and his style of acting was generous and admirable. Li Linxi shook his head slightly, "How can things in this world be so right and wrong." She thought disapprovingly.

Generally speaking, newcomers have just entered the Sword Washing Palace and started to learn martial arts, and they will be assigned to different teachers, serving them as handymen, sweeping the floor, washing their faces, and following the class, basically the same work as ordinary handymen in the outside world, the reason for this is to let the apprentices understand when their strength is low, in the face of martial arts and swords, they must remain humble, martial arts have no end, and swords, never control it. Although many powerful swordsmen will be cultivated as a result, there will also be more psychologically distorted perverts. They felt that all the hardships they suffered during their apprenticeship should be redoubled on their apprentices. Therefore, the atmosphere of the entire Sword Washing Palace is not so good, but the Sword Washing Palace has been passed down for two generations, and the forces in the door are deeply rooted and difficult to change. So at the time, I didn't know if it was good or bad to maintain this contradiction. However, what excites the people of the Sword Washing Palace is that the Sword Washing Palace was already one of the five major sects in the world at that time, suppressing the southeast, pointing at Hebei, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

In such a situation, Ximen Xue, as the only daughter of the head of the family, also served her father like a maid, and every day when the sky was bright, she would get up to fetch water, clean her father's face, clean the room, sweep the dust, and suffer from her father's harsh reprimands at every turn. The daughter of the palace master leads by example, and the oppression of apprentices in the palace is becoming more and more strict. It was in this situation that Zhang Buer, who was only thirteen years old, was sent to the Sword Washing Palace and became a miscellaneous servant with honor.

It is a real handyman, not a disciple of a certain swordsman, the lowest-status, busiest, and dirtiest and tiring handyman in the Sword Palace. However, it was such a miscellaneous servant who, in just one month, convinced the hearts of all the low-level disciples of the Sword Washing Palace, including Ximen Xue. When they feel wronged, they will go to chat with the little handyman and draw positive energy from his words. After another half a year, fifteen-year-old Ximen Xue successfully defeated his father in the swordsmanship competition and became a swordsman recognized by the Sword Washing Palace, who could no longer serve his father and had the right to accept apprentices.

In order to be grateful to Zhang Buer, Ximen Xue decided to accept him as her disciple, but Zhang Buer refused. Ximen Xue decided to secretly teach Zhang Buer martial arts, but Zhang Buer didn't care. He was originally a lowest-ranking handyman, and although Ximen Xue failed to accept him as an apprentice, he still followed the customs of the Sword Washing Palace, making it difficult for him to treat his own apprentices. The daughter of the head of the house is a difficult little handyman, and naturally there are countless people who make it difficult for him together, and it is so simple to pat the ass of the superior, of course, it should not be missed. The little handyman is bullied, cynical, and angry. When Ximen Xue noticed that Zhang Buer had not developed a sense of awe for martial arts and swords, she felt great regret in her heart, feeling that she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a master. The sincere sword technique in his body stagnation, and he almost went mad. In order to save Ximen Xue and help her sort out the internal force in her body, Zhang Buer exposed the internal force in her body that was different from the sincerity sword technique.

The rules of the Sword Washing Palace are strict, with 36 prohibitions, 108 small ones, whipping and closing at the lightest, and abolishing martial arts and expelling the sect at the worst. In order to save Ximenxue and help her sort out her internal strength, Zhang Buer exposed the fact that he had other internal skills, and let Ximenxue know that he was a traitor from other sects. If it is known by other people, the only thing waiting for Zhang Fuji is to abolish martial arts and expel him from the sect, right? Although there is no worry about his life, Ximen Xue feels that if a person cannot learn martial arts, what is the difference between him and death? I wash the sword palace and embrace all rivers, as long as you are dedicated to learning the sword, we dare to teach. Tell me, do you really want to learn swords?" Zhang Buer raised his head, his eyes were hot, and he said to Ximen Xue categorically, "Yes!"

Ximen Xue saw Zhang Buer's attitude, knowing that he was a spy of other sects, but she took pity on him and really liked to learn swords, so she taught him everything. Time is like an arrow, six years have passed in the blink of an eye, the turmoil on the rivers and lakes has arisen suddenly, the Xuanyuan Sword Sect has been besieged by the three factions of the Qinglong Gang, the White Tiger Gate, and the Streamer Sect, the main force has been wiped out, the members of the Sword Sect have scattered, and only Xuanyuan Feng is left in the bloodline. The Xuanyuan Sword Sect and the Sword Washing Palace were originally of the same root, and they couldn't bear to cut off the bloodline of the Sword Ancestor, so the masters in the palace sent out to rescue Xuanyuan Feng. At this time when the Sword Washing Palace was unprecedentedly empty, the head of the Seven Star Sect died of illness, and the news reached the Sword Washing Palace, Zhang Buer immediately rebelled against the palace, and engraved the one hundred and eight sword techniques studied with Ximen Xue on the sword washing tablet in front of the Sword Washing Palace, and restrained the sword washing palace stunt.

The old palace master didn't know that it was his daughter who studied the swordsmanship together with Zhang Buer, but that this sweeping little guy secretly learned all the martial arts of the Sword Palace, and easily cracked them one by one, and had doubts in his heart about the swordsmanship he had learned for many years, so he sincerely felt that the internal force of the sword technique was disordered, and he went mad, and finally vomited blood and died. At this time, it was a critical moment to fight with the White Tiger Gate, the Blue Dragon Gang, and the Streamer Sect, the old palace master died violently, and Ximen Xue hurriedly took the position. The defection of his friends, the new death of his father, and the heavy responsibilities of the sect all pressed on Ximen Xue, in order to escape, Ximen Xue pinned his feelings on the sword, and actually broke through the shackles of martial arts in the Sword Washing Palace, and repelled Qi Qiushui who came to assassinate him with his own spiritual swordsmanship. Ximen Xue, who abandoned the feelings in his heart, in order to resist the pressure of the three sword factions, sent an envoy to form an alliance with Zhang Buer, who succeeded the Seven Star faction, and later had many adventures and re-established the mountain gate in Shouyang Mountain, and established the sword three faction alliance. This set off the Second Civil War, which spread to the north and south of the country.

"In the blink of an eye, many years have passed...... Ximen Xue said with emotion after finishing the past of the Sword Washing Palace. "So, what do you see from these things?"

"The Sword Washing Palace's mental method suppresses emotions, which is not suitable for me...... The atmosphere in the palace is bullying, and the reasons are very high, but I don't like it...... The Washing Sword Palace is not as beautiful as it seems......" Ning Xiao replied with some loss.

Li Linxi comforted: "Learning the lessons of Zhang Buer's past, the Sword Washing Palace should improve, right?"

Ximen Xue shook her head, "The atmosphere in the palace has become a custom, even if I am the palace master, I have no power to change it." In the past, the Great War was mostly supported by the Seven Star Sect, but most of the people in the palace thought that the Seven Star Sect Martial Arts had washed the Sword Palace branch for me, and they didn't think so. The difference between reality and consciousness is the biggest obstacle to the next development of the Sword Washing Palace...... Although they are allies, sooner or later they will turn against each other...... Hey......"

"Although you already feel that the Sword Washing Palace is not for you. But as the saying goes, we can't afford not to do what we should do. At the third level, let's go to Zhang Buer's peach forest for three days!" Ximen Xue said. PS: The feeling of waking up early on a cold day is really complicated. Thank you all for your support T_T especially ellemoon, are you my little angel?
