Zhang Wuxin was practicing swordplay on the Bagua stage. Countless junior disciples in the audience were watching carefully, wishing they could imprint every move he made into their minds.
Zhang Wuxin acted as if no one else was around. He had entered a state where man and sword were united. It was as if he was the only one and one sword in the world, communicating with each other very loudly.
"You loser! It was obviously just one move, but you broke ten swords in a row with that move! How did you practice swordsmanship? Are you worthy of our swords?"
The cloud flower in his hand rebuked him loudly.
"You still dare to say that? I started touching the sword when I was three years old, and I have never stopped for a day in the past nineteen years! In order to touch the sword, I didn't even touch the girl's hand!
What about the promised unity of man and sword? Well, where is it? Are you worthy of me? "
Zhang Wuxin showed no sign of weakness and danced the cloud flowers in his hand harder.
"Fart, you are sophistry! That Yu Dayou didn't even use swordsmanship at all, but he used swordsmanship with a wooden sword! You let someone defeat swordsmanship with swordsmanship! Vulgar! Disgraceful!"
Yun Pianhua didn't know whether it was because she was angry or because she was danced too fast, so her voice was broken.
"What about swordsmanship? What about swordsmanship? You have all told me since childhood that noble swordsmanship is the way of heaven; vulgar swordsmanship is the method of cutting. What is the result? Is being noble useful? Can I beat others?"
Zhang Wuxin felt that he had been deceived and deceived by the sword.
Yun Pianhua stopped talking, and only whimpered in the air, crying like a girl who was insulted by Zhang Wuxin's foul words.
Zhang Wuxin is not crazy. Of course he knows that these conversations are all about his inner self. But entering the realm where man and sword are united, it is so difficult to control the mind.
Just when he was about to pursue the victory and continue to question Yun Pianhua, a vulgar sword light came towards him!
Before Zhang Wuxin made any move, Yun Pianhua had already stepped forward automatically, passed through the sword light with great skill, and stabbed directly at the owner of the sword light.
The light of the sword flashed again, and it was lifted up in the air. This was not a sword technique, but a sword technique!
I just lost to a man who used swords to use swordsmanship, and now I met another man who used swords to use swordsmanship! And this swordsmanship is so exquisite!
If the former is an insult to the sword, the latter is an insult to the swordsmanship!
Zhang Wuxin and Yun Pianhua, who were united with their swords, became so jealous of the same enemy that they ignored their disputes. They "turned over like a kite" with their swords, and the sword energy penetrated the light of the sword like a dragon!
The sword moves lightly, but the sword moves thickly. To defeat the sword with the sword, there is no other way except to fight the slow with the fast!
Zhang Wuxin understood this instantly, and the speed of the human sword reached its extreme! Although his opponent's dodge was vigorous, he was like a dragon swimming in the air and could always keep up with his opponent's movements!
The huge exclamations from the audience made him a little surprised: Is this sword so outstanding that all the junior brothers exclaimed like this?
"Senior brother!" A frightened woman's voice cried out, causing Zhang Wuxin to wake up from the state of man and sword uniting in an instant.
The tip of the sword stopped awkwardly between An Qingyue's towering peaks. The good-quality head catcher's uniform was pushed up high and was forced to tremble against the tip of the sword.
An Qingyue's back was already leaning against the stone wall on the side of the Bagua Platform, and there was no way to retreat. If Zhang Wuxin woke up a little later, the consequences would be disastrous.
Zhang Wuxin's eyes slowly moved up from her towering chest, and saw An Qingyue's apple face that turned pale with fright, and Wu Feng's long ponytail. He quickly put away the cloud flowers and was at a loss.
"Junior sister, why are you here? When I was practicing my sword these days, they didn't dare to come on stage."
An Qingyue was shocked and pouted in grievance.
"I saw that you were practicing so seriously that you couldn't even hear me greeting and chatting with my brothers and sisters in the audience. That's why I came up to tease you."
Zhang Wuxin frowned and looked at the audience. All the junior brothers were also shocked and looked at them with their mouths wide open.
There are a few people who have just joined the division and are not yet clear about the situation. They don't know what this beautiful female catcher means when she comes to power.
"Did senior brother commit the crime? But if you want to arrest the people in Wudang Mountain, you won't just send a head catcher, right?"
"This female headhunter is so good at catching people. If I had waited, I wouldn't have been able to dodge the first sword even if I was hit to death. She actually dodged three swords in a row!"
There was a disciple nearby who had started early and immediately showed off his seniority.
"You know what the heck, that's Senior Sister An, not an ordinary head catcher, it's the head catcher of Shuntian Mansion!
When she came down the mountain, you hadn't even entered yet! I heard from Master that Senior Sister An’s kung fu ranks among the top ten in our Wudang! "
Then all the newbies nodded their heads, suddenly enlightened.
"It turns out that if you learn martial arts, you can become the head catcher of Shuntian Mansion! It seems that my parents are right. If you learn martial arts, you can sell them to the emperor's family! Learning martial arts has a future!"
The veterans scoffed.
"Are your parents also Daolu Sizheng?"
Zhang Wuxin took An Qingyue and found the leader Gu Xuzi in the leader's alchemy room.
Gu Xuzi is meditating and practicing Qi. He is over sixty years old, and his muscles and bones are still as strong as in his prime. Although he definitely cannot beat Zhang Wuxin in a fight, his internal strength is actually much more advanced than Zhang Wuxin.
This is the difference between real internal strength and internal strength in martial arts novels.
As a special method of physical exercise, internal strength can enhance a person's strength, speed and coordination, but it cannot become an independent fighting force in itself.
Without the body as a foundation, the so-called relying on internal power to hurt others is a joke, and it is even more ridiculous to use internal power externally.
So getting old is getting old. No matter how strong the internal strength is, an old man can only beat ordinary people. If he fights a young man who has the same internal strength and is at the peak of his body, he will probably get beaten to death.
Gu Xuzi's eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Wuxin and An Qingyue entering side by side.
"Xiaoyue'er! Why do you think of coming to see Master? How is your father?"
After An Qingyue bowed respectfully, she pulled her master's long beard coquettishly, scaring Gu Xuzi to protect his long and white baby.
"Master, I am here on official business this time. This is an official document from the Daolu Department. Master Xiao asked me to give it to you!"
Gu Xuzi opened it and took a closer look. The content of the official document was very simple and direct. It didn't look like a serious official document.
"Brother Gu Xuzi, I am as confident as my face: Now Xiao Feng has been ordered by the Holy Spirit to resolve the case. He is alone and has no choice but to ask Brother Dao for help. If there is any rudeness, please ask Brother Haihan.
Please send Zhang Wuxin and other Taoist friends with advanced martial arts to follow An to the Ningbo Mansion to meet Zhan Yu. There can be no less than ten people, the more the better. We will set off today, it is extremely urgent!
My disciple Yu Dayou has new auspiciousness, and I would like to offer him a long live gift. The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and there are many dangers and obstacles. I can send someone to help escort him. "
The official document is stamped with the seal of the Daolu Department, and there is the official seal of Shuntian Mansion in the blank space next to it. There is a small red dot in the most inconspicuous position.
There is only a dot, not a word, not even a circle. But that spot was dotted with cinnabar.
Gu Xuzi sighed and pondered for a long time.
"Xiao Yue'er, you should have a lot of contacts with Master Wenxuan in the capital. In your opinion, what does this person look like?"
This is a big question because the question is very non-specific. It is equivalent to a person asking someone else: "What do you think of so-and-so?"
An Qingyue had never thought about this question seriously and comprehensively, but now the master asked it and had to answer it, so she frowned and racked her brains to start thinking about it.
"He is not a serious person."
This was An Qingyue's first impression. Seeing her senior brother and master raise their eyebrows, she quickly added her evidence.
"When he talks to a woman, he doesn't look straight away like those serious scholars, but looks up and down casually, and you don't know where he is looking.
But unlike those scoundrels or the well-dressed beasts I caught, there was no lust in his eyes and he felt very clean. "
Zhang Wuxin said he didn't feel anything about it, but Gu Xuzi smiled, twirled his beard, and his expression became more relaxed.
"But he has a bad reputation. There are rumors in the capital that he has unique tastes, likes wives and mothers, and he also had an affair with Chunyanlou's mother.
But as far as I know, he was very polite to Lao Wang’s wife and daughter, and he was also very polite to the female servants at home, which was not what the rumors said. "
An Qingyue has the right to speak, and she really doesn't trust Xiao Feng. While Xiao Feng was not at home, he secretly went to see Mrs. Wang and Wang Yingxiang. The first-hand information obtained from them was very credible.
"He is a petty person, and he holds a grudge against anyone who has offended him! He said this himself!"
Gu Xuzi suddenly panicked and began to consider whether his original donation was a little less. After all, he wanted Zhang Wuxin to beat him up.
"However, the people he has actually dealt with have a very bad reputation. Whether it is Zhao Er, Tan Xinren, or now Shi Zhenxiang, they can actually be regarded as people related to the Yan Party.
He has never really taken revenge on anyone, whether it was the gangsters or the neighbors who disliked him when he was young and poor. "
Gu Xuzi was relieved. No matter what he did, Pindao could not be considered a bad person, and his reputation had always been good. Since Xiao Feng didn't care about those people, he wouldn't care about himself either.
Let's just say that he runs the Wudang Mountain Martial Arts Vocational and Technical College. Rich people work hard to collect tuition fees. There is a person who comes from a poor family and wants to earn a living by practicing martial arts. As long as he has good character, he will waive the tuition fee.
If this is not considered a good person, are there any good people in the world? Touched by himself, Gu Xuzi wiped his eyes with his sleeves.
“He has a good literary talent, and many students in the capital want to make friends with him, but he doesn’t seem to like to associate with scholars, and he only has a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng of the Hanlin Academy.
On the contrary, he was very familiar with Jin Yiwei and had close contacts with some people in the army. The strange thing is that from what Mr. Fu Yin and my father said, Banzai didn't seem to be afraid of him. "
Gu Xuzi nodded, a comprehensive evaluation already formed in his heart.
He didn't want to help the tyrants to do harm or act as a stooge. Wudang Mountain had its own century-old character. Although he had already asked someone to investigate Xiao Feng before, An Qingyue's words were good circumstantial evidence.
If there is no need to make a decision that goes against the ancestors, given Xiao Feng's current status and future development prospects, it would be best for Wudang Mountain to go with the flow and form a good relationship.
Dao Lusi's documents must be respected, but no one can interfere with the extent to which he implements them. This is the dignity of a martial arts master!
It is a gift for ten old, weak and disabled soldiers, and it is a gift for ten elite soldiers and strong generals. No one can say anything.
so……
Gu Xuzi stood up: "Wuxin, take the top twenty people on the mountain with you, except for your senior brother who is staying!"
