Xiao Yao asked: "Does Sima Sect Master think they are 'heroes'?"
Sect Master Sima nodded and replied: "In fact, according to my opinion, as long as you do not act for personal gain and your character meets the standards, it does not necessarily require advanced martial arts, it is enough to be called a 'Xia'."
Luo Wenxuan asked: "But if you are not good at martial arts and cannot defeat bullies and strong men, how can you be a chivalrous person?"
Sect Master Sima said, "Just do what you can. If you are skilled in swordsmanship, you can punish rape and eradicate evil, eliminate violence and bring peace to the good. If you have gold and silver, you can build bridges and pave roads to benefit the village. If you have knowledge, You can also teach students, help others and cultivate their minds. If you only have one pair of hands and feet, you can also farm and work, and relieve the worries of the elderly and the weak. In my opinion, as long as you have good intentions and solve problems for others, these are all manifestations of chivalrous spirit, not Only by using martial arts to teach villains can one be considered a ‘chivalrous person’.”
At this point, not only Luo Wenxuan, who had just asked the question, couldn't react for a while, but many other disciples also started talking privately. Yu Junyan was the first to ask: "Sima Sect Master's remarks surprised Yu. He is not familiar with martial arts, but he can still be called a disciple. As a ‘hero’?”
Sect Master Sima said: "Yes, for me, 'xia' is just an ideal. I have been traveling around the world since I was young. Later, under the name of the Sima family, I gathered a group of like-minded companions to run for a common goal, no matter what. It’s ‘Swordsmanship’, ‘Sima Family’ or ‘Dinners’, these are just my methods of practicing chivalry, and not everyone has to pursue chivalry in this way.”
Yu Junyan asked: "So Sima Sect Leader thinks he is a 'Xia'?"
Sect Master Sima said calmly: "I don't dare to call myself a 'chivalrous person'. I can only say that I pursue chivalry and have no regrets."
At this time, Mei Fengjun couldn't help but said to Yu Qin beside him: "This person can only say, sorry!"
Even so, at this moment, the corners of her mouth were raised, with a smile on her face, and she seemed to agree with what the sect master said. Yuqin couldn't help but smile when he saw that she was not thinking. Mei Fengjun seemed to smile when he saw Yuqin. Without even a smile, he had already guessed what she was thinking. His cheeks felt slightly hot at the moment, but he couldn't think of how to excuse himself, so he had to pretend to be paying attention and didn't even see the expression on her face.
Ji Cangran suddenly said at this time: "Ji also agrees with what Sima Sect Master said. We often say that a person is chivalrous, which means that he has such personality traits, not that he can use any advanced martial arts. According to Ji Cangran, You see, the level of martial arts is not the most important thing, and martial arts can be learned through hard work, but chivalry is mostly innate, which is even more valuable."
After Ji Cangran spoke up, everyone began to discuss what chivalry is and how to practice chivalry in daily life. At this time, the discussion in Xingfeng Hall was endless. Yuqin quietly asked Wei Jing: "What do you think, Master?"
Wei Jing didn't think too much and said: "Actually, I don't care much about this. For me, 'doing what you should do with a clear conscience' is enough. As for whether this is considered a 'chivalrous' in the eyes of others, to me Words are not that important.”
Yuqin smiled and said: "Young master, isn't this what Master Yao said, 'You will do whatever you want and it will be difficult to restrain'?"
Wei Jing smiled and said, "That's what he said!"
Cheng Zixian listened on the sidelines and then answered: "If you are close to vermillion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black." Although my second brother adheres to the principle of "doing what you should do," you have stayed in Sima's house for a long time. "You are still influenced by the sect master, right?"
Wei Jing did not deny it, but smiled and said, "That's probably true, right?"
Under the guidance of the four speakers, everyone was gradually willing to put forward their own opinions. After that, they talked for nearly an hour. The course finally came to an end. However, there were still many disciples of both factions staying in Xingfeng Hall, looking for Sima The sect master and others talked about chivalry until the sun set and the light in the hall became dim. Everyone realized that it was late and then gradually dispersed.
Time flies by unconsciously, and the gathering of the two factions is gradually coming to an end. Since Tianji Pavilion and the Sima family joined the competition, the entire gathering has become much more peaceful than before, and the disciples are more focused on exchanging martial arts and learning themselves. After all, Tianji Pavilion He and the Sima family are both friends in the martial arts world who have not known each other for a long time, so there is always an extra courtesy when dealing with each other, unlike earlier when there were only two factions who were tit-for-tat and outspoken.
Yao Yunyang and Yu Junyan also restrained themselves a lot. After all, in front of Sima Sect Leader and Ji Cangran, the two leaders did not want to make a fool of themselves. They were both more stable than before, and finally recovered a bit of what a leader should be. Style, but in Wei Jing's view, this is actually a kind of competition, but it's just not brought to the table.
During this period, characters from the Sima Family and Tianji Pavilion came on stage one after another to test their skills in front of everyone. Even Tao Baicheng and Su Yunshen, who returned later, also competed with the young disciples. In addition to Yuqin's battle with Tang Rou last time, she later Another win and one loss respectively, which can be regarded as quite rewarding.
Wei Jing then fought against Yanjiang Cheng, a famous master from Huashan. Both of them had played against each other in "The Return of Ten Thousand Martial Arts" and had seen each other's skills. Although they had made up their mind to mainly demonstrate their martial arts in the field, they did not use their full strength. However, Wei Jing's sword skills were endless, and Yanjiang City's swordsmanship and light kung fu skills were extremely proficient. Therefore, the two sides still fought brilliantly and received a lot of applause. In the end, Wei Jing was defeated by a sword difference, and both of them were defeated. Thank you for your advice.
Lu Qingdi finally got his wish and faced off against the people of Tianji Pavilion. His opponent was the deputy pavilion master Yong Yue. The two of them used their palms to swords and fought with hundreds of moves. Lu Qingdi was proud and arrogant. He planned to attack with all his strength from the beginning and kill the enemy. He was caught off guard and was defeated early. How could he know that Lou Yongyue's swordsmanship was beyond his expectation? After a hundred moves, the two of them couldn't decide the winner, and finally ended in a draw.
After the competition ended, Lu Qingdi couldn't help but secretly compare, feeling that Lou Yongyue's swordsmanship was not even inferior to that of Ling Xueyi and Ren Qianyun. Apart from being surprised, he no longer dared to underestimate the characters of Tianji Pavilion.
During the gathering, many disciples discussed privately, hoping to see the two masters competing with Sima Sect Master and Ji Cangran. Wei Jing, Cheng Zixian and others also heard about it, but none of the four were seen until the end. People appear.
Wei Jing guessed that most of the elders of the two sects and the figures in the Tianji Pavilion had scruples and did not dare to let their masters fight. After all, they fought with the dignity of the masters. If they were accidentally defeated, not only the sect's prestige in the martial arts world would be affected. Affected, the disciples will also lose confidence in their own sect.
Just imagine, if on an occasion like "Ten Thousand Warriors Return to Hidden", when you hear fellow Jianghu fellows talking about their own sect, you hear someone say, "Headmaster of Huashan? I remember that he lost a move under the headmaster Dian Cang last time... ...." Such a topic is really embarrassing and frustrating.
During this time, everyone in the Sima family also took the opportunity to discuss the connection between Tianji Pavilion and the imperial court. Sect leader Sima believed that the simplest way was to find an appropriate time to let Quan Wulin know that "The Return of Ten Thousand Forces to the Hidden" was a way to consolidate the imperial court. The imperial power's method requires martial arts colleagues not to get involved in disputes, and for this purpose, a highly publicized occasion is needed.
After some discussion, everyone tentatively decided to organize and complete all the evidence at this year's "Ten Thousand Warriors Return to Hidden" meeting, and confront Tianji Pavilion head-on to make the imperial court's plan known to the world.
Ten days later, the gathering between the two factions finally ended peacefully, and Tianji Pavilion was very peaceful. There was no more instigation of discord, and they just accompanied the two factions to the end of the gathering. This actually made Cheng Zixian a little uneasy.
After the four parties bid farewell to each other, Nanyang was dismissed on the spot, and everyone in the Sima family also left. Sect leader Sima, Mei Fengjun, and Cheng Zixian returned to the Sima family together. Wei Jing had received news a few days ago that Feng Xinyao's The whereabouts were known, and Wei Jing wanted to confirm with his own eyes the current situation of everyone in Qihuang Villa, so he took Yuqin with him. Lu Qingdi happened to have something to go to Xiangyang, so the three of them went together.
This morning, the three of them were heading south all the way. When passing through Xinye, they were about to go to a wine shop on the roadside to drink some tea and take a rest. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the door, they saw a table full of people standing in the middle of the wine shop. Watching the crowd, they pointed at the things on the table and talked a lot, but there were so many people that Wei Jing and the other two people could not see what was on the table for a while.
