Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 162 Huan Wen's Secret Identity

He made a bow, he was originally a member of the rivers and lakes, and he had no intention of taking care of the affairs of the court.

"My junior, Tianshan Yuan Tianchou, has studied Tianshan swordsmanship for many years, but it was difficult to improve martial arts many years ago. I would like to ask Sima Huan for some pointers."

Huan Wen nodded slightly: "Tianshan swordsmanship followed the path of Taoism, and the initial progress was slow, but in the future, martial arts practice will become faster and faster. Back then, I and Li Yuanzong, the previous head of Tianshan Mountain, verified each other's martial arts."

"My teacher once said to me that the Wuying Dao is the superior martial art of Confucianism, which emphasizes 'the sword has no shadow, the person has no trace, use fast to fight fast, and use fast to fight slow'. My teacher highly respects Wuying Dao. The younger generation Yuan Tian was worried about his lack of talent, and wanted to learn from the old man about the Tianshan Sword Art."

At the beginning, the man said that he was giving pointers, but now he is asking for advice.

It was obvious that Huan Wen was somewhat dissatisfied with Huan Wen's mention of his martial arts certification with Li Yuanzong back then, but Huan Wen naturally didn't say anything.

But the meaning is obvious, your master was my defeat back then, if you want to compete with the same martial arts as your master, you will only lose your Tianshan faction.

The man took off the heavy sword behind him: "Senior, please lead the way, lest the sword has no eyes and disturbs the place where seniors practice."

"Okay, Your Excellency sincerely invites me, and I will meet my old friend."

After finishing speaking, he shouted loudly: "The knife comes!"

I saw Huan Wen holding his right hand out of emptiness, and the plaque above his head "Tingtao Academy" split into two halves with a bang.
A gleaming single knife fell from the plaque. Huan Wen caught the knife and said to himself, "My old friend, I haven't seen you for many years."

Then the two went out of the yard, performed lightness kung fu, and in a short while they reached a beach.

Huan Wen first said: "My blade is three feet and eight inches long, the handle is one foot and two inches, and the blade is slender and narrow. Your Excellency will be careful later."

The man continued: "My sword is made by myself. I haven't weighed it. It's about 200 catties. I haven't measured the length. It's about five feet. Please enlighten me."

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Tianchou took two steps and stabbed at Huan Wen with a single-handed sword. The 200-jin sword hit Huan Wen's chest with the sound of sword energy breaking through the air.

This sword is the epee style of the Tianshan swordsmanship, and Guan Ziyang can also do it, but the power is worlds apart.

Huan Wen's Wuying Dao is different from his Huanjiaquan, it is not a martial art of blood, but at the moment he abandons Huanjiaquan and uses saber technique instead, which shows that this saber technique is not inferior to his famous martial arts Huanjiaquan.

Wuying Dao emphasizes winning with the law, let your internal strength be deep and your external strength be overbearing, my sword technique can hit you, but you will never hit me!

In the martial arts world, this kind of martial arts that does not require internal strength as the foundation is very rare, but every famous person who takes the path of a master of martial arts alone is a famous martial arts master who has been passed down for generations.

It is extremely difficult to practice simple martial arts skills. They don't exercise their bodies, they don't practice their internal skills, they simply rely on countless days, day after day, year after year, countless boring exercises, and a word of enlightenment!
So it can be said that there are very few people in the world who single-handedly learn martial arts, but each of them has incredible abilities.

The knife swung in Huan Wen's hand, and at first he could still see a little phantom, but after a while, the phantom was no longer visible.

Out of sight doesn't mean it's gone, but it's too fast! '

Suddenly the shadows of others blurred.

Yuan Tianchou's blow only hit Huan Wen's afterimage, and he secretly thought that something was wrong. Although he had prepared for it, this speed still exceeded his perception of speed!
I had no choice but to rely on the strength of sprinting forward, continue to exert force on my feet, and flew forward, just in time to avoid the knife behind me.

Knife without shadow!No trace of people!

Huan Wen's saber technique combined with his body technique has reached an extreme!
People with poor eyesight can't dodge his blow at all!
No matter how fast Huan Wen's saber technique was, Yuan Tianchou started to defend after the first sword attack, seized the moment when the phantom flashed, and blocked it with his sword, and the defense was airtight.

No matter where or from which strange angle you slash or stab with the knife, you can only hit the giant sword in his hand.

The two masters at the pinnacle level of the first-rank level fought against each other, and it was so terrifying!
Tianshan swordsmanship is divided into nine styles: heavy sword, wrapped sword, separated sword, cut sword, fallen sword, divided sword, transformed sword, quiet sword, and intentional sword.

Yuan Tianchou's Tianshan swordsmanship has reached the perfection of Jingjian style many years ago.

Braking with stillness is the core of Jingjian. Huan Wen's saber technique is too fast. Apart from using the Jingjian style to keep it airtight, Yuan Tianchou can't think of how to fight back!
All martial arts in the world have flaws!
Yuan Tianchou has always believed in this sentence that his master told him.

He practiced hard for many years. After winning the sword test in Jinhu at the age of 30, he never went back to the mountains and traveled to various countries in the Central Plains to practice hard for 20 years.

He once returned to Tianshan to master the sword, and the master Li Yuanzong taught him the static sword style. Ten years ago, he made a great achievement in the quiet sword, and returned to Tianshan again to learn the sword style.

At that time, he was the first non-master who was awarded the ninth form of the Tianshan School since it was passed on for a hundred years (when the leader took over, he could get all the secrets of the nine forms of Tianshan swordsmanship).

Ten years have passed, and he still hasn't touched the threshold of the ninth form - the intent sword!

Looking at Huan Wen's looming knife shadow, after he blocked Huan Wen's knife more than 300 times!Yuan Tianchou suddenly seemed to realize something in his heart!
What do you mean!Take the intent sword as the intent sword!

He has used the sword for 50 years, and he has always controlled the sword with his hands. He has been puzzled by this sword for many years. Although he has blocked the more than 300 knives, the sword is dangerous and he has no power to fight back!
But it was precisely because of the three hundred knives that he felt the slightest 'meaning' in the sword.

Suddenly, Yuan Tianchou swung his huge sword, and slashed towards him with both hands, but there was nothing in front of him!

"Ding"!
Huan Wen suddenly appeared at the place where Yuan Tianchou was slashing with his sword, and the knife in his hand snapped in two!
Yuan Tianchou's sword was imbued with his mighty inner strength, although the single sword blocked his strike, the sword split in two in response.

The difference between a Neijia and a Jijia is that a Neijia can be beaten, but as long as a Qijia is hit, he will have no power to parry.

However, Huan Wen was truly the pinnacle of the first rank. Although he was a master of martial arts, the power of Yuan Tianchou's sword far exceeded his expectations.

Yuan Tianchou's sword directly injured Huan Wen, and Huan Wen slumped.

"There are talented people from generation to generation! Your Excellency can judge my attack in advance, which really impresses me. Although I blocked this knife, the true energy in your sword also hurt me. Although your excellency has no blood, But your internal strength is superior to mine, so I lost half a trick to you!"

"Senior's swordsmanship is unimaginably fast, thank you for your guidance! Help me realize the last move of Tianshan swordsmanship——Yijian style!"

After speaking, he helped Huan Wen who was injured and knelt on the ground: "Senior is only slightly injured, and he just needs to rest for a few days. Keep it a secret for me, I am very grateful!"

Huan Wen nodded slightly, agreeing to him: "Your Excellency's swordsmanship is superb, your internal strength is strong, you are a martial arts genius, but you are not greedy for fame, and you are even better than the old man! I am convinced that I lost!"

Huan Wen then paused: "At first, I didn't want you to go back to Tianshan to die, but seeing your martial arts attainments, you might be able to save the Tianshan faction. You should go back to Tianshan quickly, someone will harm the Tianshan faction!"

Yuan Tianchou was shocked!
A person who has been obsessed with martial arts for decades, the Tianshan faction is his only concern in this world!
Guan Ziyang at the bottom of the Tianshan Mountains stayed in the crevice of the rock for a whole night.

Guan Ziyang heard a thunderbolt last night, and the Twelve Heavenly Lords wanted to destroy Tianshan Mountain. Although he was very anxious now, he knew that
The abilities of the group of Twelve Heavenly Lords, based on his ability, would not be of any use at all. The only thing he could do was to notify his master and senior brothers in advance.

Guan Ziyang woke up Xiao Zhuye and said that he had something important to do, and asked Xiao Zhuye to find the small bamboo pole and small bamboo tube first, and then he rushed to Tianshan Mountain to report the news.

Guan Ziyang tried his best to run up the Tianshan Mountain. How could he climb the Daxue Mountain as fast as he wanted?

Suddenly a big man blocked his way, Guan Ziyang was taken aback, and thought to himself: "Oops, could this be the group of Twelve Heavenly Lords?
Lord Shumian didn't kill Xiao Zhuye last night, which shows that they didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately.I'll test him first."

"Who are you and why are you blocking my way?" Guan Ziyang pretended to be calm and said.

"I'm on this Tianshan Mountain, so I'm from this Tianshan Mountain. I think your martial arts are mediocre, little boy. It's better not to go up this Tianshan Mountain."

The person blocking the way is none other than Yuan Tianchou, the senior brother of Chu Yu, the leader of the Tianshan School.

Guan Ziyang heard him say that he was from Tianshan Mountain, and he wanted to test it out: "I am the young apprentice just accepted by Tianzi Shumianjun."

"I've never heard of Tianzi Shumianjun. I belong to the Tianshan sect. I'm in charge of Tianshan. Why don't you get out!"

Guan Ziyang then asked tentatively, "Are you Senior Yuan Tianchou?"

After the two revealed their identities, Guan Ziyang hurriedly told Yuan Tianchou what he saw and heard last night.

Yuan Tianchou looked up to the sky and smiled long after hearing this: "Hahahaha, the thieves don't pay attention to our Tianshan faction at all, this is, it's too deceiving.

Nephew Guan Ziyang, follow me up the mountain, let the thieves learn the true skills of our Tianshan School! "

Yuan Tianchou was Guan Ziyang's new disciple, thinking that he had no internal energy.

So he held Guan Ziyang in one hand and used lightness kung fu to walk on the snow, still walking very fast.

It takes half a day for ordinary people to go up the mountain, even the big brother Lu Zhengyi takes two hours, Yuan Tianchou actually arrived in half an hour!
The two went up to Tianshan Mountain, but they didn't see the appearance of the enemy attacking.

Chu Yu and Yuan Tianchou exchanged pleasantries, and all the disciples also paid respects to this uncle whom they met for the first time.

Yuan Tianchou and Guan Ziyang told everyone in Tianshan what happened to them, and everyone was in a cold sweat.

As the head of the sect, Chu Yu first said: "Brother, although you have comprehended the ninth form of our Tianshan swordsmanship, half of your feet have stepped into the semi-sacred realm,

But from what Guan Ziyang said, the culprits were at least twelve first-rank masters, and there were more than 40 first-rank masters. There was such a terrifying force in the world!

Our Tianshan faction is in danger! "

Yuan Tianchou laughed wildly twice, high-spirited.

"Brother sect master, our Tianshan sect has been established for more than a hundred years since the ancestor of Tianshan Xueying Su Qingfeng established the sect, but apart from the patriarch, no one has learned the ninth form of Tianshan swordsmanship.

And I just touched the threshold of the ninth form a month ago, and I have already defeated Huan Wen, who has been number one in the ranking of martial arts masters for many years,
About to step into the semi-holy realm!This shows that the martial arts left to us by our ancestors is a big treasure, but we can't live up to it and can't use this treasure.

Now that a large number of thieves are attacking, we will fight the enemy to the death, so as not to fall into the name of our Tianshan faction! "

When everyone in Tianshan heard Yuan Tianchou's lofty ambitions and vowed to live and die with the sect, they were all angry and passionate.

Jiao Bochuan was the first to shout: "Uncle Shi is right, let's fight the thief to the death!"

Several disciples followed suit and shouted: "Yes, let's fight the thief to the end, and we will pull two backs to the death!"

Chu Yu let out a long sigh: "Oh! What a shame, our Tianshan faction didn't die because we lost to the Penglai faction, but we died at the hands of unknown thieves!"

Lu Zhengyi had been silent just now, and now he said: "Master, uncle, don't panic, everyone listen to me. Brother Guan Ziyang, please repeat what you heard last night carefully. It is best not to miss a single sentence. .”

Everyone looked at Lu Zhengyi, not knowing what his intentions were, but in the face of this important matter concerning the survival of the sect, the always prudent disciple of the Tianshan School would definitely not be idle and listen to Guan Ziyang's experience again.

Guan Ziyang started from when he and Xiao Zhuye hid in the crevice of the stone and heard Shumian Jun's first words. He thought and said, if it was said by someone he saw, he would even imitate his actions.

After listening to Guan Ziyang's retelling, Lu Zhengyi seemed to realize something and said suddenly: "This canopy mouse-faced gentleman is Da Sima Huanwen!"

"Oh? How do you say that?" Yuan Tianchou asked.

He continued: "Guan Ziyang just said that they, the Twelve Heavenly Monarchs, are only acting under the restriction of this soul-chasing flute, and they don't know each other's identities. Only this Shumian Lord knows the identities of everyone.

Moreover, the letter of chasing the soul is in the hands of Mr. Shumian. Only when everyone gathered yesterday did he tell the other Heavenly Monarchs what the so-called gathering was about.
So a month ago, the only person who knew that someone would be unfavorable to the Tianshan faction was the Shumian Lord.

However, Martial Uncle Yuan said that a month ago, he had a martial arts contest with Huan Wen, and after Huan Wen lost, he asked his uncle to return to Tianshan Mountain as soon as possible, and someone would harm Tianshan Mountain!
That is to say, this Wuyingdao Huanwen is either the Shumian Lord, or he can only be the person who wrote the soul chasing letter, that is, the real instigator behind the Twelve Heavenly Lords.

But there is another point, only two people know about the martial arts match between Uncle Yuan and Huan Wen!

Unless he told the behind-the-scenes instigator about the contest.Otherwise, this Shumian Lord must be Huan Wen! "

Everyone suddenly realized after hearing this, Chu Yu continued: "Even if we know that Huan Wen is the Shumian Lord, what's the use of it except that one knows that this man is not only powerful in martial arts, but also able to mobilize thousands of troops?"

Although Yuan Tianchou became obsessed with martial arts, he also understood a little bit at this time: "Huan Wen said that if I go back to Tianshan quickly, maybe I can save the Tianshan faction. If the twelve heavenly monarchs really attack together, we have no chance of winning, but I don't believe it. A martial art master would lie to me!"
