"What?"
Everyone in the Main Hall was stunned by the news.
Zhong Zhen rushed over and grabbed the messenger disciple's shoulders.
"What did you say? Say it again?"
The messenger disciple spoke with difficulty.
"Reply, uncle, they said they found the body of uncle Ding Mian."
"Impossible! The strength of the second senior brother has already reached the top level, second only to the head senior brother. Who in the world can kill him? Absolutely impossible!"
Zhong Zhen couldn't accept this fact.
"alright."
Zuo Lengchan stopped Zhong Zhen and asked him to let go of the messenger disciple.
"Go on, do you have any other news?"
The messenger disciple took a deep breath and said.
"According to the information provided there, they found the body of Master Uncle Ding. The body was covered with sword wounds. Based on the traces on it, it is suspected that he died under the "Huashan Sword Technique"!"
""Huashan Sword Technique"?"
Everyone was shocked.
Zhong Zhen stared angrily.
"Yue Buqun! You dare to kill my senior brother! I will make you pay with blood!"
He turned to Zuo Lengchan and gritted his teeth.
"Senior Brother Head, please let me take a few senior brothers with me to fight on Mount Huashan! Kill that hypocrite Yue Buqun! Avenge the second senior brother!"
Zuo Lengchan glanced at Zhong Zhen indifferently.
"I have made my own decision on this matter. Junior brother, if you are tired, go back and rest first!"
"Senior Brother Head!"
"Back off!"
Zhong Zhen snorted angrily and left reluctantly.
Zuo Lengchan pinched the armrest with his right hand, almost crushing it.
"Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun!"
Of course he also wanted to kill Yue Buqun, but he knew that it was not possible yet. The time had not yet come. He would never disrupt his plan just because of Ding Mian, even if this person was his longest-standing junior brother!
Zuo Lengchan, as a hero, finally chose to endure the incident.
"This time I missed a move, and next time I will definitely pay back a hundredfold!"
Zuo Lengchan thought that this matter was over for the time being.
But the next day.
"Didn't I say that Junior Brother Lu and the others will be back this morning? Why is there no news yet? Go and check for me! Find out what happened!"
Night falls.
Finally, a disciple came to report.
"It's not good! Master! Someone is in Yangui Mountain, one hundred and fifty miles away. The bodies of six uncles, including Uncle Lu, Uncle Music, etc.! Their bodies are all covered with sword wounds, and they are suspected to have died from - "Huashan Sword" Under the law!"
"What did you say?"
Zuo Lengchan could no longer hold his nerve and almost collapsed in his seat.
It took him a while to come back to his senses.
I saw him slam the chair and stand up.
"Since you are looking for death! Then I will help you!"
Angry voices echoed throughout the Mahavira Palace.
Along with it, there were chairs that were torn apart.
The deaths of the six eunuchs made Zuo Lengchan go completely crazy like a furious lion.
"Send my order! Gather all the people immediately. I will make sure that all the Huashan faction's chickens and dogs are left behind!"
······
at the same time.
Shaolin Temple.
In a Zen room.
"What are you talking about? Ding Mian, Lu Bai, Le Hou and other seven great eunuchs are all dead? And they died at the hands of the Huashan Sect?"
Master Fang Zheng, who was always known for his indifference, was also shocked by the news.
Those are seven first-rate masters!
Even for their Shaolin Temple, this is an extremely heavy loss!
"Amitabha! Another catastrophe will arise in this world that should not have happened!"
He said with a sad expression.
The Shaolin monk on the side couldn't help but frown and said.
"Abbott, do we, Shaolin, want to step in to stop this? If the Songshan sect and the Huashan sect are allowed to fight, no matter who wins in the end, it will be a huge loss to our martial arts righteousness!"
Another eminent monk also continued.
"That's right, the Sun and Moon Demon Sect is now ready to move. If the power of the Huashan Sect and the Songshan Sect is reduced, it will probably cause a huge catastrophe!"
Other eminent monks also spoke one after another, all in one sentence.
The Songshan sect and the Huashan sect cannot fight!
If they fight and their strength is greatly reduced, who will fight against the Sun Moon Demon Sect?
"Amitabha!"
Master Fang Zheng has a thin face and a kind expression.
"I also want the two families to end their war, but now that they have reached this stage, it is no longer possible to persuade them with a few words. No matter what we do, their war will definitely begin!"
"What should I do?"
All the eminent monks looked at each other.
Master Fang Zheng put his hands together and said slowly.
"The only solution for now is to let them fight first, and after eliminating some of their hatred, we can then find a way to resolve it."
"This method is wonderful!"
The eyes of all the eminent monks lit up.
Doing this can not only weaken some of the two factions, but also prevent their strength from declining too much. It can also make their Shaolin Temple shine again. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.
Many people in the Sholin Temple were not particularly adaptable to the rise of the Songshan Sect; and the Huashan Sect's sudden display of strength also frightened them, and they even felt like they had lost control.
He killed seven eunuchs in a row. If these people were killed by Yue Buqun alone, then he must have the strength of a supreme warrior!
If these were not all killed by Yue Buqun, it proves that the Huashan Sect still has masters hidden in them that even Shaolin doesn't know about.
No matter which of these two possibilities it is, they are not what the Shaolin Temple wants to see.
What they need is a world under their control, and they don't want any unexpected factors to appear!
······
the other side.
Huashan School.
Yue Buqun had no idea that he was being taken care of by both the Songshan Sect and the Shaolin Temple. He was currently troubled by a letter Xu Yi had given him.
"Delayed return to the mountain? Do you have something to tell him or me after returning to the mountain?"
Yue Buqun frowned.
What Xu Yi wanted to tell him was not to stop practicing on the mountain in the future, right?
He knew that Xu Yi's parents had never particularly wanted Xu Yi to go up the mountain to practice, but they reluctantly agreed due to Xu Yi's own plea.
Now after a year and a half, Xu Yi's talent is not outstanding, and it is obvious that he will not have much success in martial arts in the future. It is normal for Xu Yi's parents to have other ideas again.
"If that's the case, how can I keep him?"
Yue Buqun felt a headache.
People think that their son has no future in learning martial arts and wants to find a more promising career. What can he do to persuade him to stay?
"Take a step and see what happens!"
Yue Buqun sighed.
I really can't think of any other way, I can only wait until Xu Yi returns to the mountain.
If it didn't work, he could only choose to let it go - after all, the Xu family had a deep connection with their Huashan sect, and Xu Yi was the only descendant of their family.
If he had good talent, it would be okay, he could give him some advice, but it was obvious that Xu Yi's talent was just average. If he continued on this path, it didn't mean that he had no future at all, but it could only be said that he had an average future.
It is understandable for people to want a brighter future.
He can't force people to learn martial arts here, right?
Yue Buqun looked melancholy.
"Is the future of our Huashan sect really not in my hands?"
······
"Smelly junior brother! You actually let me go again!"
Yue Lingshan slapped the pillow in her hand angrily, as if she thought it was some bad guy.
Of course she was very happy when she received the gift from Xu Yi, but instead of seeing Xu Yi, she just received a letter delaying her return to the mountain, which made her instantly unhappy.
She also planned to pester Xu Yi to do all kinds of things after he returned to the mountain, but now they all came to nothing!
After slapping, Yue Lingshan suddenly stopped slapping and just hugged the pillow in her hand with a dazed expression.
"Junior brother, when will you come back? I want to hear your story."
······
Yan returns to the mountain.
Xu Yi just finished watching "Bronze Statue Gong".
At the same time, he also has a certain understanding of the hard skills, or external skills, of this world.
The external skills in this world are somewhat similar to the immortal martial arts in "Yang Shen", but there are certain differences.
The immortal martial arts in "Yang Shen", from low to high, are - meat training (martial arts student), muscle training (martial arts apprentice), skin training (warrior), bone training (martial arts master), viscera training (innate martial arts master), There are eight realms in total: bone marrow training (Grand Master), blood exchange (Martial Saint), and acupoint training (Human Immortal).
The external martial arts in this world, from low to high, are - skin training (third-rate), meat training (second-rate), bone training (first-rate), sinew training (excellent), and viscera training (innate), a total of five realms.
The two just interchange each other in the four realms of skin training and meat training and bone training and tendon training. The former trains the flesh first and then the skin, then the muscles first and then the bones, and the latter trains the skin first and then the flesh. , and then train the bones first and then the muscles.
that is it.
From the comparison of realms, it seems that there are only three major realms difference between the two.
The latter has only reached the innate level, but the former has three levels: Grandmaster, Martial Saint, and Human Immortal. It seems that there is not much difference.
But as we all know, the strength displayed by human immortal martial arts before becoming a martial saint is actually not very strong, and even after becoming a martial saint, it can only be considered to be averagely powerful.
Only when you reach the realm of human immortality can you be considered completely reborn and enter another level completely.
One thing understands all things, the essence of the fist, derived from flesh and blood, ever-changing, shattering the vacuum, until finally reaching the other shore.
This realm, even if placed in a fantasy world, is quite powerful.
In comparison, the early martial arts students, martial apprentices, warriors, martial arts masters and even innate martial arts masters can really only be regarded as comparable to the general martial arts world.
Therefore, there is no need to pay too much attention to the similar cultivation levels between the two, because there is really no difference between them.
Let’s go back to “Bronze Statue Gong”.
As a first-class hard skill, it can only be practiced to the third level, the bone training stage.
The later Jinjin training (Jue Ding) and Marrow training (Xiantian) do not exist here.
The "Bronze Statue Skill" Xu Yi obtained only has thirteen levels. The first level is to open up the Dantian, followed by the fourth level of skin training, the fourth level of flesh training, and the fourth level of bone training.
The previous practitioner, Evil King Kong Cao Fist, had reached the tenth level, which meant he had just entered the stage of bone training. His overall strength was comparable to that of a first-rate early stage warrior.
Compared with first-class early-stage warriors who practice internal strength, their short-term explosive power may be slightly insufficient, but their endurance is obviously much better.
If the two fight against each other, as long as they are not restrained and keep fighting, it is these horizontal martial arts practitioners who can often win.
Even against the internal strength of the first-class mid-term, or even the first-class late stage, the result of a protracted battle is often that the horizontally trained warriors win. One can imagine how durable these horizontally trained warriors are.
Of course, the premise is that internal martial artists are willing to fight a protracted battle with these horizontal martial artists...
In the real world, once an internal martial artist realizes that they can't do anything to a horizontal martial artist, they often simply choose not to fight - they have stronger short-term explosive power and have full control over whether to fight or not.
Without the blessing of strong internal strength, the horizontal practitioner warrior who cannot catch up with the internal martial artist can only face all this with a depressed look.
Therefore, although Heng Lian warriors show great combat prowess, except for those who really don't have the talent to take the path of internal strength, they rarely choose this path.
Probably only those who are part of the army will actively choose to be a horizontal martial artist - army wars require more endurance.
Although the short-term burst of internal strength is stronger, it will wither soon. If this is put on the battlefield, it can kill people in minutes.
External strength and internal strength each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and both are quite obvious.
Indeed, many people have said that the combination of external strength and internal strength is the true warrior.
But how limited are the talents of warriors in this world?
It is quite difficult to walk all the way, let alone walk two roads at the same time. Their talents simply do not allow them to do such a thing.
"Train the skin, train the meat, train the bones."
Xu Yi whispered these three realms.
"Compared to the hard skills of external training, the internal hard skills of "Bronze Statue Kung Fu" are relatively 'mild' and do not require all kinds of 'beatings'. You only need to use your internal strength to hone your physical body. .”
"But in fact, the dangers involved in practicing hard Kung Fu internally are no worse than practicing hard Kung Fu externally, and are even more terrifying!"
To practice hard work externally is to polish oneself from the outside, while to practice hard work internally is to polish oneself from the inside. There is actually no difference between the two in essence.
It's just that one is done from the outside and the other is done from the inside, that's all.
Don't think that if everything is done internally and everything is controlled by yourself, it is better than externally. In fact, this is not the case at all.
The essence of practicing hard work internally is to let go of the limitations of internal force on one's own damage, so as to polish one's physical body.
There is no doubt that the process of polishing the body is painful.
Whether you are practicing internally or externally, you will suffer considerable pain.
External training is better, because you are asking others to 'beat' you. Even if you suffer extreme pain, you don't need to worry about other problems that will arise in the process.
But internal training...
Think about it, if you are controlling your internal strength and polishing yourself, and suddenly the pain becomes unbearable, what will happen?
If you don’t understand, you can imagine that you are driving on a mountain road, and in the process you suddenly feel severe pain all over your body...
Tsk tsk!
