Episode 16: Return to Xiangyang, Taifu Temple
"For more than 30 years, I have killed all the enemies, defeated all the heroes, and there is no resistance in the world, and there is nothing to do, but to live in seclusion in the deep valley and take the eagle as a friend. Woohoo, I can't get an opponent in my life, and I'm embarrassed to be lonely. ”
The following inscription is: "The sword demon is lonely and seeks defeat." ”
I found a valley and opened the sword book of Dugu Nine Swords, the content of the first page is these few lines, there are not many words, and the handwriting is not big, although I have seen it once in the cave, Jiang Chen still can't help but admire: This forced pretend, it is really amazing! No wonder, until the era of Xiaoao Jianghu, there is still a legend of Dugu seeking defeat in the martial arts.
It is not difficult for people with a bit of culture to imagine from these few lines the demeanor of Dugu in the past, with a sword in hand, sweeping the world, and no one can stop its sharpness! What kind of majesty is this? What kind of domineering? Being a man can really be said to live up to this life, and how can such a heroic style not make people fascinated?
From this, we can draw a conclusion, if you want to be famous all over the world and celebrities through the ages, you must first think of a name with connotation and domineering?
Jiang Chen looked at the silk book for a long time, and after half a ring, the boiling mood calmed down, and then, he carefully opened the sword book to the second page, which recorded the general formula of Dugu Jiujian: "Gui Mei tends to be non-delusional, non-vain tends to be the same person, and the same person tends to be great." A to C, C to G, G to Dec. The friend of the ugly, the friend of Tatsumi, the friend of the noon. Wind and thunder are a change, mountains are a change, and water and fire are a change. The universe is excited, the shock is excited, and the separation is excited. Three increases become five, five increases become nine", although it is only more than 3,000 words, but it has exhausted the mysteries of all kinds of swordsmanship.
"Huh? It is indeed the most profound and mysterious swordsmanship in the world, it is indeed extraordinary, of course, it is also thanks to me that I have obtained Qiu Qianren's martial arts, otherwise, this swordsmanship is no matter how clever and mysterious it is, if I can't understand it, it will be in vain." Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then he began to comprehend and practice this set of swordsmanship.
Although there are only nine moves in this swordsmanship, each move hides countless changes, practiced to the extreme, breaking swords, breaking knives, breaking guns, breaking whips, breaking ropes, breaking palms, breaking arrows and finally breaking qi! As far as the sword style is taken alone, although there is only one style, but the swordsmanship of all sects and factions in the world is eclectic; although there is no move, it is actually based on the tricks of the swordsmanship of the whole world, so its changes are not inferior to any complicated swordsmanship in the world, as for the final breaking style, it is more important to pay attention to the gods and the clear, there is one heart, and its subtlety is to have to work hard to understand it.
Jiang Chen's martial arts at this time are already extraordinary, not inferior to several of the top martial arts masters in the world, although the Dugu Nine Swords have thousands of changes, thousands of mysteries, but as long as he has a little comprehension and cultivation, they all flash one by one, before and after just a few days, he has already preliminarily mastered this mysterious sword technique.
However, he also knew that although he had learned the Dugu Nine Swords, he was still very rusty in the use of the same as the Iron Palm Gong and Dengping Crossing the Water, and only after a long time of hard practice and even experienced a life and death battle, he could truly reach the realm of free use.
Thinking about this, he didn't plan to go back to Xiangyang first, but he wanted to hone Dugu Jiujian's good life, not to mention reaching the realm of perfection, at least he had to be able to use it freely, otherwise, he would only be able to use it freely, otherwise, he would only be able to use it with his own hands, and he would be in danger, anyway, it was only close to August, and there were still two or three months before the Beggar Gang Heroes Conference, so he was not in a hurry at all.
At that moment, Jiang Chen found a clean valley near the valley where the Bodhisattva snakes gathered, where the forests were lush and the mountain springs were murmuring, which was indeed a good place for cultivation. He didn't pay attention to it, so he cut down a few trees casually, built a simple grass hut, and began to practice swordsmanship.
Qiu Qianren, as a generation of martial arts masters, although the best is light skills and palm techniques, but also in the swordsmanship is also quite studied, as the so-called, one law through ten thousand laws, even if it can not reach the top of the realm, but looking at the martial arts, it is definitely a superior column, with this foundation, he cultivated the Dugu Nine Swords, naturally is a rapid progress. In addition, the continuous hunting of the Bodhisattva snake and the consumption of snake gallbladder have not slowed down the growth of the inner family.
I don't know how many years have passed in the mountains, and I don't know how much time has passed, on this day, Jiang Chen practiced swordsmanship as usual, and he did not stick to the routines of moves, and split the swordsmanship in Qiu Qianren's memory and Dugu Jiujian, but between the sword moves, not only did it not look messy, but it gave people a kind of whimsical wonder, and in the end, he simplified all the sword moves, simplified and simplified, and finally only one sword remained.
"Ninety-nine return to the yuan, a sword breaks the air!"
Cultivation is gradually getting better, Jiang Chen suddenly broke through the sky with a sword, and it was clear to the gods, but it was the last move of Dugu Jiujian, breaking the qi, the sword was in the direction, and suddenly a gully several meters long was drawn on the mountain wall in front of him, which made people feel shocking at first sight, and above the sword marks, there was even a hidden sword intent.
"Well, I have been concentrating on hard cultivation so far, this set of Dugu Nine Swords can be regarded as a masterpiece, what I have to do in the future is to gradually forget all the sword moves, and then get rid of the influence of Dugu's sword intent to seek defeat, so as to be able to achieve my own swordsmanship. Jiang Chen thought about it in his heart, but he was quite satisfied with the harvest of his cultivation this time.
His internal cultivation is very high, he has reached the middle of the fourth order, and he is a step stronger than Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Golden Wheel Dharma King and others, because of the lack of power of the Iron Palm Gong before, so, even if his Iron Palm Gong attainments have surpassed the original Qiu Qianren, but he may not be able to defeat Guo Jing, Yang Guo, and the Golden Wheel Dharma King, these top masters, but now that he has practiced this Dugu Nine Swords, everything is very different!
Dugu Nine Swords itself is a profound swordsmanship, has reached a kind of extreme realm of swordsmanship, Jiang Chen through the study of Dugu Nine Swords, but launched Dugu to defeat the original martial arts realm, swordsmanship attainments are naturally increasing day by day, even if it has not yet reached the peak, but it can also be used freely, coupled with the sharpness of the broken gold sword and sharpening iron like clay, it is enough to compete with Yang Guo, Guo Jing, and the Golden Wheel Dharma King, the top masters of the Condor world.
Martial arts and swordsmanship cultivation has been successful, Jiang Chen's purpose of this trip can be said to have been successfully achieved, immediately decided to return to Xiangyang, of course, before returning to Xiangyang, he did not forget to go around, just right, let him meet a Yuanmeng army of grain transport team on the way, only then did he know that Yuanmeng had destroyed Dali, and returned the army to the north, and the other road soldiers and horses from north to south, the two armies planned to meet Xiangfan, and destroyed the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.
This time, Yuanmeng planned for several years in advance, and the ambition was to win, the army going north was led by the emperor's brother Kublai Khan, and the army going south was led by the Yuanmeng Emperor Meng Ge himself, and the elite soldiers and fierce generals all came from the dragon, and the momentum was unprecedented.
As the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yuan and Mongolia have invaded, and the grain and grass required are naturally not trivial, so the grain transportation team has already started in advance and transported the grain and grass to some fixed places for hoarding. In this regard, Jiang Chen had nothing else to say, so he immediately drew his sword and killed.
The adventure of the sword mound not only allowed him to learn the Dugu Nine Swords, but also greatly increased his internal and external skills, coupled with the incomparably sharp edge of the gold-breaking sword, a grain transportation team of thousands of people, but in just half a day, he killed all of them, and this batch of grain and grass was distributed by him to the nearby people, so that they could flee to the south. Compared with Yuanmeng, who likes to slaughter cities and destroy villages, although the Song Dynasty in the south is also extremely mediocre, with a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, it can barely survive.
"This damn era!" Jiang Chen sighed in his mouth, the killing intent in his heart was even worse, the long sword in his hand was sharper, and he simply intercepted and killed Yuanmeng's grain transportation team, and the grain and grass could be distributed to the people as much as possible, and those that could not be distributed were burned on the spot. Of course, if he met other people who should be killed, he was also ruthless under his sword, so soon, countless people were spreading: The black-clothed Shura appeared again!
After a big killing, the swordsmanship forged with blood was better than before, Jiang Chen returned to Xiangyang, because he turned around and went to the Valley of Despair, caught a few bees with words, and encountered some injustices on the way, and it inevitably took a lot of time to return, until this day, he arrived at the foot of Da Xian Mountain, and saw a mountain temple, although it was just an ordinary mountain temple, and it had long been abandoned, and it was still covered with dust, only a few broken door panels and a statue of a god covered with spider webs remained, but the name of this mountain temple aroused his great interest:
"Yang Taifu Temple. ”
Jiang Chen stood in front of the Yang Taifu Temple and thought for a long time, and it was not until after a long time that he finally remembered that it seemed that the unlucky man with Lu Youjiao died at the hands of Huo Du here. Later, Guo Xiang also came here to worship him, encountered Nemo Xing, and was secretly rescued by Yang Guoda, and later, Huo Du, who was lurking in the beggar gang under the pseudonym He Shi, was also single-handedly planned and exposed by Yang Guoda, which can be said to have made Yang Guo do enough favors and steal the limelight.
Jiang Chen muttered in his heart and came to Xiangyang City, only to hear the rumors in the city, all that was said in the city, all that was said about the beggar gang leader Lu Youjiao was framed by a traitor last night and died tragically in the "Yang Taifu Temple", he couldn't help but feel a little sad for Lu Youjiao, he originally wanted to save his life, but now it seems that he is not needed.
However, then again, you can't save Lu Youjiao, isn't there still a Guo Xiang, Nemo Xing, count you unlucky, this hero has recently practiced martial arts, and he just used you to test the sword!
At that moment, he ate a full meal in Xiangyang City, took a bath, changed his clothes, and re-equipped the broken gold sword with a good scabbard in the armory shop, and then came to hide behind the statue of the temple, thinking: "I don't know, if you get the internal strength of this guy Nemo Xing and double it to strengthen it, can you let me be promoted to another level?"
