With the news that the Xichang Changgong from the imperial court led his people to suppress Xueyue City, went to the Shaolin Temple to kill hundreds of Shaolin monks, and survived a battle with the Shaolin gods, the entire south of the Ming Dynasty spread. The rivers and lakes were silent, and no one dared to go against the imperial court anymore.
Not only in the arena, but also among the people, the crime rate has been greatly reduced, and the court's prestige has remained unchanged.
But despite this, the court had no intention of giving up.
Some forces that had previously opposed the imperial court or committed crimes were approached by the fans and Jin Yiwei from the East and West Second Factory. Those who should be arrested were arrested and killed without any mercy.
For a time, the entire southern region was once again a bloody storm.
…
at the same time.
On an official road several miles away from the capital, a team of about a thousand people was marching slowly towards the capital.
The fans from the East and West Second Factory are mainly in python robes and bullfighting suits, while the Jin Yiwei are all in flying fish suits. They all have strong energy and blood, and their eyes are as sharp as eagles. Their palms are always on the scabbard at their waists so that they can pull them out immediately. With weapons out, it looks neat and solemn, quite spectacular.
On a sedan chair in the center guarded by many fans and guards in royal robes, Yu Huatian put on a brand new python robe, closed his eyes and crossed his legs, doing exercises to heal his injuries.
Most of the stalls in the East and West Second Factory and the thousands of households in Jinyiwei have taken people to perform tasks. At this moment, the only people standing around the sedan responsible for protecting Yuhuatian are Yan Shisan and Xia Xueyi.
But now that they are about to arrive in the capital, there will basically be no more surprises, and the two people's originally tense nerves have relaxed a lot.
No wonder the two of them were so nervous.
After all, since they followed Yu Huatian, this was the first time that Shaolin and his party saw Yu Huatian suffer such serious injuries.
This battle was terrible.
Yuhuatian was only beaten throughout the whole process and had no power to fight back.
But in fact, the two of them still admired Yuhuatian very much.
As Yu Huatian said, although he lost, it was not a shameful defeat.
After all, that old monk is a heavenly being!
What is a heavenly being?
Above the Grand Master, a martial arts expert who begins to control the power of heaven and earth. This kind of person has transcended the category of ordinary people and is enough to be called a land god.
Yu Huatian was able to fight against the overwhelming number of enemies in the middle stage of the Grand Master without dying. This was already remarkable in the hearts of Yan Shisan and the others.
If it were them, they would be reincarnated without even being able to take one of the old monk's moves.
So after this battle, although they saw Yu Huatian being beaten badly, their loyalty to Yu Huatian grew to a higher level.
Warriors are meant to go against the will of heaven, constantly exploring the power of the human body and increasing their strength.
A warrior like Yu Huatian becomes stronger when he encounters the strong, and dares to draw his sword when he encounters a strong man countless times stronger than himself. Only then can he be considered a true warrior.
And such people are worthy of their following!
Xia Xueyi looked back at the motionless sedan, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and whispered:
"Since leaving Shaolin, the Governor has been silent and depressed. Do you think the Governor has been shocked?"
After all, there are many examples like this in the world.
Some martial arts geniuses have always had a smooth life and have never had a defeat since their debut.
Such a person must be extremely arrogant in his heart.
But once you are defeated once, your martial arts heart may be broken, and you will be unable to recover from it, and slowly become useless.
Strictly speaking, Yuhuatian seems to be such a person.
At the age of early twenties, he has reached the middle stage of Grand Master, and his own strength far exceeds the realm.
The most important thing is that since his debut, it seems that he has never lost.
No, I can't say that I have never been defeated, but at least I have never been beaten so badly.
No matter how strong the enemy was before, even if he couldn't defeat it, he could retreat safely or rely on his mental layout to counterattack him.
But this time, the old Shaolin monk was a little too strong.
For Yu Huatian, who has just entered the middle stage of Grand Master, it is already considered a dimension-reducing blow to the powerful Heavenly Man.
There is no comparison at all.
That's why Yuhuatian was beaten so badly in the end.
If he hadn't finally threatened the Shaolin Temple Sutra Pavilion to make the old monk throw a rat weapon, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to come back this time!
Therefore, Xia Xueyi was a little worried that Yuhuatian would be hit by this and would never recover.
Hearing this, Yan Shisan glanced at him and said calmly: "Even if you fail to recover, the governor will not fail to recover."
"Well……"
The corner of Xia Xueyi's mouth twitched, and she glanced at this man who didn't understand the charm with some resentment.
The corners of Yan Shisan's eyes twitched and goosebumps appeared all over his body: "If you look at me like that again, I will let you try the power of the fourteenth sword."
Hearing this, Xia Xueyi curled her lips and said nothing more.
However, thinking of Yan Shisan's fourteenth sword, there was still a trace of envy in his eyes, and he said: "How on earth can you understand your fourteenth sword?"
Yan Shisan said calmly: "Didn't I tell you the essence of the fourteenth sword? You have to understand it yourself. If you can't understand it, there is nothing I can do."
Hearing this, Xia Xueyi sighed helplessly: "If I could figure it out, I wouldn't have to ask you."
There is actually not much difference in strength between him and Yan Shisan, and their swordsmanship is now at the second level.
But just because Yan Shisan understood the Fourteenth Sword, the gap between him and Yan Shisan widened.
He was quite jealous of this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Yan Shisan didn't hide anything from him, and he taught him everything he needed to teach, but what could he do if he couldn't learn it?
Kendo is different from martial arts.
Martial arts even has fixed moves and formulas, as well as corresponding martial arts techniques. As long as your basic qualifications are not too bad, you can improve them over time.
But kendo really depends entirely on understanding.
Even if I teach you the formula and moves, it will be difficult to understand them if you don't have enough understanding.
At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded from behind: "The Fourteenth Sword is not suitable for you."
The two of them were startled and turned around quickly, then their faces suddenly became happy.
"Lord Governor, are you out of seclusion?" Xia Xueyi saluted.
"Um."
Yuhuatian nodded, with a calm expression, and continued the topic just now, saying:
"Yan Shisan follows the path of killing swordsmanship. The fourteenth sword is tailor-made for him. It will be easy for him to understand it."
"But you are different."
As he said that, Yu Huatian looked at Xia Xueyi and said, "You follow the path of speed swordsmanship. The Golden Snake Sword Technique that you have learned is also based on speed, and its lethality is relatively insufficient. However, your speed is still too slow at the moment."
Xia Xueyi quickly handed over her hand: "Please give me some advice from the Governor."
Yu Huatian looked at the Golden Snake Sword in his hand and said calmly: "This Golden Snake Sword of yours can absorb the essence of moonlight to activate sword energy. When combined with the Golden Snake Sword Technique, it will greatly increase your strength, but it will also slow down your progress in swordsmanship." The main reason.”
"You are too dependent on this sword."
Saying that, Yu Huatian shook his head and said: "A good sword can certainly enhance one's strength, but it can only be the icing on the cake. You cannot rely too much on the increase that the sword brings to you. Otherwise, once If one day you don’t have a sword in your hand, won’t you be at the mercy of others?”
Xia Xueyi thought for a moment, then cupped her hands and said, "Supervisor, I understand."
Yu Huatian nodded and continued: "Of course, I don't mean that you don't use the sword, but you must master the degree, distinguish the priorities, and distinguish what is most important."
"You have to remember that as a swordsman, the real strength is always yourself, not the sword, and it is the person who controls the sword, not the sword that controls others."
"Yes!" Xia Xueyi said solemnly.
Yu Huatian nodded: "You are following the path of speed swordsmanship. If you are going to follow this path all the time, then specialize in speed. Of course, the strength cannot drop too much. After all, the sword is a murderous weapon. If you are fast enough, and the strength If it’s not enough, if you can’t break the enemy’s defense, you won’t be able to kill them.”
After saying that, Yu Huatian pondered for a moment and said: "When I return to Beijing this time, I will tell you that you are a flying immortal from the sky. Compared with the Fourteenth Sword, this sword skill is more suitable for you."
"Thank you Lord!"
Xia Xueyi was immediately overjoyed.
Although he covets the Fourteenth Sword, he also covets the flying immortal from the sky.
That day in Xueyue City, Yu Huatian relied on this move to defeat Xueyue Sword Immortal Li Hanyi with one sword. He still vividly remembers that scene.
If he can learn this sword, he can catch up with Yan Shisan soon!
Yu Huatian shook his head and said calmly: "You have been with me for so long, and I have never taught you any sword skills. This is what you deserve. I am not a person who does not know rewards and punishments."
Saying that, Yu Huatian looked at the mountains in the distance and said quietly: "Moreover, this martial arts road is too difficult. I also hope that you can accompany me to the end. I do not hope that one day I will reach the peak of martial arts." , only to find that there is no one around me, that would be too lonely.”
The two looked solemn, and at the same time they cupped their hands and said:
"Please rest assured, Lord Governor, the two of us will follow the footsteps of the Lord Governor to the death, and we will never fall too far behind!"
Yuhuatian nodded slightly.
At this time, Yan Shisan showed a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and suddenly said: "Master Governor, you said that the Fourteenth Sword is not suitable for Xia Xueyi because he follows the speed sword path, so you have practiced the Fourteenth Sword and Tianwai Feixian at the same time. , and also practiced many other martial arts, so what kind of swordsmanship do you follow?"
"I?"
Yuhuatian was startled, then he was silent for a moment and said slowly:
"If I have to talk about one path, the path I take should be the invincible sword path!"
"Invincible swordsmanship?"
Yan Shisan and Xia Xueyi were also startled, and then they looked at each other and stopped talking.
Yu Huatian said calmly: "You are trying to say that since I follow the path of invincible swordsmanship, I am not yet invincible, just like when I went to Shaolin this time and was defeated by the old Shaolin monk, right? ?”
The two nodded.
Yu Huatian smiled softly, shook his head and said: "Sword Dao not only means what kind of sword moves you practice, but more importantly, it is a belief in sword Dao."
"Just because I follow the path of invincible swordsmanship does not mean that I cannot be defeated. On the contrary, only by being defeated by someone stronger than myself can I find my own shortcomings, then make up for these shortcomings and continue to become stronger."
"To put it simply, people can be defeated, but the heart cannot be defeated!"
"Only by maintaining an invincible heart and an invincible belief can you go further on this path until you reach the top!"
The sound fell, and it was loud.
Yuhuatian stared at the mountains in the distance with cold eyes.
This time, although he was defeated, he did not recover as Xia Xueyi feared.
On the contrary, his martial arts heart became more determined.
It doesn't matter if you fail temporarily. The worst thing you can do is wait until your strength improves and then fight back.
As long as his martial arts spirit remains intact, he firmly believes that one day he will catch up with the old monk and wash away the humiliation of this defeat!
This is the path to invincibility he will take!
Not only is his sword skill invincible, his martial arts heart is also invincible!
Looking at Yuhuatian, whose eyes were firm and his aura was somewhat deeper than before, Yan Shisan and Xia Xueyi looked at each other with a hint of admiration in their eyes. At the same time, the worries in their hearts completely disappeared.
Also, how could a person like the Governor never recover because of a temporary failure?
It's because they think too much.
At this time, Yu Huatian turned around, gathered all his momentum, and said calmly: "Has the identity of the old Shaolin monk been found out?"
Yan Shisan nodded: "I have checked the history of Shaolin and all the monks of the 'Jue' generation in Shaolin. If the old monk is really a monk of the 'Jue' generation, then this person should be a hundred years ago. A Shaolin monk named Jueyuan!"
"Jueyuan?"
Yu Huatian's eyes narrowed slightly: "That Jue Yuan who once taught Zhang Sanfeng?"
A trace of surprise appeared in Yan Shisan's eyes, and he nodded: "According to rumors, Wudang Master Zhang did practice under Master Jueyuan in his early years, and even the Wudang Nine-Yang Technique was practiced by Master Zhang based on the Nine-Yang Magic Technique taught by Master Jueyuan. Chuang, but not many people know these secrets.”
Yu Huatian sneered: "It is indeed him! Old man, I didn't expect that after so many years, he is not dead yet!"
With that said, Yuhuatian turned around and looked in the direction of Shaolin Temple, his eyes flashing coldly:
"Jueyuan, I have recorded this account!"
Yan Shisan and Xia Xueyi also had murderous intentions on their faces. This was the first time they had suffered a setback since they followed Yuhuatian.
Naturally, this account must be recorded with the Shaolin Temple!
After a long time, Yu Huatian looked back, but did not return to the sedan. Instead, he got on a white horse and said calmly: "Let's go back to Beijing first."
Although the result of this trip south was not so satisfactory, it was not without gain.
Not only did his martial arts break through to the fifth level of Grand Master, but he also made some progress in swordsmanship and gained a lot of luck points.
It’s time to take advantage of this period to return to Beijing for retreat, consolidate your realm, improve your strength, and then proceed with the next stage of your plan!
"yes!"
Yan Shisan and the others nodded, then waved to the Jin Yiwei in front, and the team continued on their way.
But before taking two steps, Yuhuatian pulled the reins and suddenly stopped:
"etc!"
The team stopped, and everyone looked at Yuhuatian in confusion.
"It's so quiet!"
Yuhuatian narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the silent woods ahead, murderous intent gradually rising in his eyes:
"A bunch of rats that don't deserve to be on the stage, aren't you planning to come out?"
The indifferent voice, supported by the powerful inner force, instantly resounded throughout the woods.
Crash--
Hearing this, Yan Shisan and others immediately realized that there was an ambush in the woods. They all drew their weapons and gathered around Yuhuatian with alert expressions.
After a slight silence.
A figure floated down from a tall tree and blocked the middle of the road.
A vast and boundless momentum rushed towards him instantly.
"I wanted to keep it quiet and wait for you to enter the forest before burying you here, but I didn't expect you to wake up with a shock. Are you dissatisfied with the cemetery I chose for you?" the figure said calmly.
"It's you?!"
Seeing the person blocking the road, Yu Huatian's face changed slightly, and a dignified look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
