"What!?"

Meng Qi and others were shocked.

They were not surprised that Shang Yi could deduce other people's martial arts during battle. They had known this for a long time.

What really shocked them was that the martial arts they learned from Dorcha was the "Shengwu Finger".

You know, Meng Qi, Qing Jing, Qi Xia and Qi Zhengyan had just witnessed Gu Xiaosang's "Finger of the Immortal" in the back mountain of Shaolin.

As direct descendants of a righteous sect, Zhang Yuanshan and Jiang Zhiwei were no strangers to the Luo sect's Immortality Finger, one of the nine evil paths.

Soon, Meng Qi and the other three started talking about what Gu Xiaosang had done.

Several people looked at Shang Yi's eyes with a hint of meaning, and they suddenly understood that Shang Yi was hinting to them that a master from the Luo Sect had intervened in this mission in the reincarnation world.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan also understood something. They suddenly remembered the three changes that Duoercha had undergone during the fight.

Although it was powerful at the beginning, it could not really hurt Shang Yi and Master Xin Ji. Afterwards, Duoercha exuded bursts of Zen and magic, and finally its methods were very similar to those of Luo Sect.

Obviously, there were two masters controlling Duoercha at that time, and the last one was obviously delaying time for Gu Xiaosang. No one knew what the purpose was. No one knew who the mysterious man with a mixture of demonic and Zen ideas was. Maybe he wanted to know the secrets of the back mountain of Shaolin?

Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan looked at each other, but tacitly did not mention the matter again.

This matter obviously involves a level that they cannot reach. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing!

Shang Yi said at the right time:

"I still have 521 good deeds here. If you need them, nine out of 13 will be returned!"

He looked frank and had no intention of profiting from it. However, if he got it for free without paying anything, he would end up hating it over time.

Afterwards, everyone frankly shared the amount of good deeds they had done. Although it was not much, it was much better than the first reincarnation world.

Zhang Yuanshan stopped smiling and said solemnly:

"We have to figure out what to exchange. The next mission may not have helpers like Master Xin Ji, and there will probably not be people like Gu Xiaosang who come in inexplicable, so we have to rely on ourselves as much as possible."

"I have to repair the 'White Rainbow Piercing the Sun Sword' first, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself." Jiang Zhiwei said while stroking the beloved sword in his hand.

It was hit by General Duoercha's palm, leaving many tiny cracks on it.

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"Junior Sister Jiang, have you forgotten that my sword-making skills are not weak? Why don't you let me see the long sword in your hand!"

Jiang Zhiwei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said:

"Thank you very much, Brother Huaikong!"

As he spoke, he handed over the sword in his hand without any hesitation.

After seeing the "Xuanniao" made by Shang Yi himself, everyone had no doubts about his weapon refining skills.

Shang Yi took the sword, held the hilt with his right hand horizontally in front of him, and used his left hand to perform the Iron Forging Hand. He wiped the red palm across the sword, and immediately the many tiny cracks on the sword disappeared, and there was no sign of damage at all.

"You are indeed the legendary iron smelter!"

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"We are all teammates. I have said before that if your weapon is damaged, you can ask me for help first. If you are really done, don't come back and ask the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. This way you can save a lot of good deeds!"

"Junior Sister Jiang, we don't need to repair the Changhong Coffin Sun Sword now, what are you going to exchange for?!"

Jiang Zhiwei's pretty face seemed to be covered with a layer of light:
"I took a rough look at the sword techniques on the 'Exchange Chart' last time. Apart from those that cannot be exchanged for a long time, there is one sword technique that is very interesting. The first twenty-two sword techniques are only at the awakening level. The sentient sword technique part is only worth two hundred merits, and the ruthless sword technique part is only six hundred."

"But when it comes to Sword 23, it is suddenly upgraded to a very good level among the exterior-level swordsmanship. It requires several thousand good deeds to exchange. According to the description of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I think my master will also be full of praise when he sees this sword move. It is hard to imagine that the previous and next moves of a sword technique can have such a fundamental leap."

When it comes to swordsmanship, she is so beautiful that it is impossible to look directly at her.

"Miss Jiang, what sword technique is that?" Hearing the name Sword 23, Meng Qi suddenly thought of something and asked in shock.

Seeing Meng Qi's expression, Jiang Zhiwei realized that he had read the introduction of this sword technique, and nodded slightly with a smile: "As you thought, 'Holy Spirit Sword Technique'.

Shang Yi also smiled and said:

"That's right. With Junior Sister Jiang's aptitude and the extraordinary inheritance of the Sword Washing Pavilion, even if she only exchanges for the first twenty-two moves of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, she will have the opportunity to evolve the complete Twenty-Third Sword Technique in the future, or even create her own Twenty-Third Sword Technique!"

Jiang Zhiwei smiled lightly upon hearing this:

"Thank you, Brother Huaikong, for the compliment!"

She thought to herself:
"If I perform the Holy Spirit Sword Technique in front of Senior Brother Huaikong in the future, will Senior Brother Huaikong be able to deduce Sword Twenty-Three before me?"

Thinking this in her heart, Jiang Zhiwei's sword intent became even sharper, and her will to fight became even stronger. A swordsman is fearless and will move forward, so how could he hesitate because of something like this!
Instead, she was looking forward to the opportunity to learn sword skills from Shang Yi in the future so as to improve herself!
Meng Qi asked doubtfully: "Miss Jiang, you only want to exchange sword skills?"

Don’t you need to exchange for magic elixirs?

"The cultivation method of my sect is different from that of other sects. It requires one to observe the sword techniques of hundreds of sects, learn them and then forget them, so as to strengthen the sword will in one's heart. The stronger the sword will, the faster the internal strength will grow, and the more powerful the acupoints will be, the more powerful it will be. Therefore, my exchange of sword techniques is also a form of cultivation, which is faster than taking elixirs and has no hidden dangers."

Jiang Zhiwei said frankly that everyone who knew Xijian Pavilion knew this.

Meng Qi suddenly realized what was going on and said:

"This is similar to how Buddhist martial arts require a deep understanding of the Dharma!"

After that came Zhang Yuanshan's exchange. When Meng Qi learned that Zhang Yuanshan believed in the way of concentration, he reminded him to use the initiation of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps in order to consolidate his foundation.

Shang Yi also said:

"Brother Zhang, Tai Chi swordsmanship is consistent with the Taoist Yin-Yang Tai Chi. When you return to your sect in the future, you can also comprehend more of the sect's Taoist scriptures. I think it will be of unexpected help to your practice!"

Zhang Yuanshan naturally followed suit after hearing this. What Meng Qi and Shang Yi said did make sense.

Although he has some strength, he did not comprehend the true meaning of the introductory chapters of the Zhenwu Sect's two magical skills. He is probably lacking in comprehension and his foundation is insufficient.

Although he had some understanding in the Free Heart Bell after being injured by Duoercha, he was still some distance away from truly understanding the true meaning.

If Zhang Yuanshan had not known that this opportunity might involve Shang Yi's secret, and if he had not been very calm, he might have already asked Shang Yi to use the Free Heart Bell to assist him in his practice again.

Not only Zhang Yuanshan, Jiang Zhiwei also has the same idea.

Meng Qi completed the first incomplete form of the 'Ananda Breaking the Vows Sword Technique', and sublimated the Eight Steps of Divine Movement into the Hundred Changes of Divine Movement. Light and shadows floated, and mist drifted. A ray of light pointed at Meng Qi's brow like a finger.

The monk with a bitter face appeared in Meng Qi's mind again, with heavy steps and a slightly bent back, as if he was bound by heavy chains, but there was only peace and tranquility around him.

The knife flashed, and all kinds of changes were vivid. Greed, anger, ignorance, love, hate, and unfulfilled desires all appeared and turned that pure place into a world of red dust.

Crack! The invisible chains broke, heavy obstacles were damaged, an endless sea of ​​suffering surged up, the whole person was floating up and down, experiencing torment and enduring burning, but there were pains and joys as well. The heart became lively and agile again, knowing the joy of family, the happiness of love, the righteousness of friends, and the pleasure of fame. Although the suffering did not diminish, it was difficult to extricate oneself.

The illusion disappeared, and the "Duan Qing Jing" sword style was completely memorized in Meng Qi's mind. However, remembering the changes in the sword technique was one thing, but if he wanted to truly use it, to use it with the unity of body and mind, and to be able to use it at any time and any place, that would require some hard practice.

You must know that within the major martial arts sects, the secret manuals are required to be extremely detailed. In addition to careful study by the disciples, the instructors will also demonstrate the techniques. This is only slightly inferior to the true meaning of the inheritance. But even so, there are only a few disciples who can truly grasp the essence of the techniques, and it is often difficult to combine knowledge and practice.

Meng Qi felt that although he had gained some basic knowledge of "Duan Qingjing" by understanding the true meaning of inheritance, it would take at least a year and a half before he could use this sword technique. And this was already a reward for his hard work!

After replaying the sword technique in his mind and memorizing it again and again, Meng Qi opened his eyes. As expected, he found that the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles floating in front of him had been loaded. There was also a page of "instructions for use" and a much thicker secret book that explained how to open the mechanism after firing and load the poison needles.

"Complete the first move of Ananda's sword technique, 'Severing Purity', which consumes 110 good deeds."

"To upgrade 'Eight Steps of Divine Movement' to 'Hundred Changes of Divine Movement', forty merits are consumed."

The emotionless voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded.

Shang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. When Meng Qi was completing the Ananda Breaking Precepts Knife just now, he felt in his heart that there seemed to be an increasingly strong "fishing line" above Meng Qi's head. The Ananda Breaking Precepts Knife was like the bait, and Meng Qi was the "fish" that was caught.

Just like in the original novel, Qi Zhengyan was attracted by the fundamental skill in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, "The Mirror of the Great Heaven".

As for Qing Jing, Shang Yi reminded:

“Junior Brother Qingjing, I see that you have made great progress in swordsmanship. I have seen an exterior-level swordsmanship called “Eight Heavenly Sword Techniques” on the exchange sheet before. Each technique has ten swords, for a total of eighty swords. All eight techniques are extremely profound, and each sword is extremely changeable and domineering.

It will also be helpful for you to practice the Five Emperors Sword in the future!"

As for Qi Xia, as a lady of the Dajiang Gang, she had no shortage of skills and secret manuals before her Dharma body, so there was no excessive interference. Therefore, Qi Xia still chose the production drawings of her favorite hidden weapon - the Peacock Feather.

After the exchange, they talked about going down the mountain to gain experience, while Meng Qi was worried about how to quit Shaolin Temple.

Jiang Zhiwei smiled and looked at Meng Qi: "Leaving Shaolin? Haven't you learned the Shaolin precepts?"

“The book of precepts doesn’t explain how to leave Shaolin. There are only various punishments for violating different precepts. The most severe one is to have your martial arts skills abolished and be expelled from Shaolin.” Meng Qi didn’t dare to use this method.

Jiang Zhiwei chuckled and said, "I didn't tell you how to leave Shaolin, because it's impossible to leave."

"Ah?" Meng Qi was shocked.

Jiang Zhiwei restrained her smile and said, "Joining the sect is a very serious matter in itself. The Emperor and Empress have seen through it. If you want to leave, there is only one way, and that is to seriously violate the precepts, have your martial arts abolished, and be expelled from the sect. I don't think you are willing to pay this price, are you?"

Apart from this, one can either follow the eminent monks when traveling, or go to Tongren Lane after gaining enlightenment, or become a lay disciple.

But Meng Qi knew very well that Xuanzang was watching him in the Shaolin Temple, so none of the three possibilities was likely.

Zhang Yuanshan listened quietly for a while, then suddenly sighed and said, "If Junior Brother Zhending was still a menial monk, he could have left the temple directly after his term was over. We made a mistake."

"It doesn't matter. Others can leave, but I can't." Meng Qi knew this very well. Xuan Zang would not let him leave the temple before his term expired.

Shang Yi said:

“In fact, if we can really leave Shaolin Temple safely and there is no danger outside, it is not impossible to abandon martial arts and quit Shaolin. Then we can just return to the Six Paths of Reincarnation space and recover!”

Then he frowned and said:

“It’s just that I don’t know why Junior Brother Zhending entered Shaolin Temple in the first place. If your family had to send you to Shaolin Temple because you had enemies outside, it would be even more dangerous if you leave Shaolin!”

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Meng Qi thought of the man who had sent him to the gate of Shaolin Temple. He seemed to have said that it was his "father" who had no choice but to send him to Shaolin Temple to become a monk.

"Well, let's just take it one step at a time. There are a lot of problems in Shaolin Temple right now. I found problems in the back mountain of Shaolin before, but I reported it and was rewarded but was actually let off lightly. I'm afraid that if I quit Shaolin now, I'll die in an 'accident' in a few days."

Although Meng Qi had no experience in the martial arts world, he knew from the storybooks he had read when he was a child that once he knew some secrets, those people hiding in the Shaolin Temple would not let him go easily and would come to test him.

After everyone finished exchanging their items, Meng Qi thought about what happened before and asked, "Miss Jiang, are you on the list now?"

Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "I haven't officially left the mountain to travel the world, but because of the previous discussion on martial arts and the progress I made after opening the four orifices, I'm honored to be here with you."

Speaking of the human ranking, she frowned slightly: "If my guess is correct, Xiao Zi and Gu Xiaosang should be the same person, but why did she have no martial arts skills at first? I am not wrong about this."

"Ah, schizophrenia? No, two souls in one body?" Meng Qi said in astonishment.

Jiang Zhiwei pursed her lips and said, "I don't know. Even if she has two souls in one body, her physical foundation will not disappear. It is impossible for me not to see that she knows martial arts."

She was quite upset about her own oversight.

Shang Yi smiled and said:

“Junior Sister Jiang, don’t worry. After I opened my eyes, I vaguely realized the divine eye in Buddhism, but I still couldn’t find Gu Xiaosang’s problem with this method.

Maybe it's really like what Gu Xiaosang said, she was seriously injured in her last reincarnation, and she used the Luo Sect's methods to hide her own cultivation. The Luo Sect is known for its secrets, so maybe it's the effect of some kind of magic skill."

"No matter what, Gu Xiaosang is scheming, cruel, and his martial arts are so high that he will definitely be on the blacklist in the future." Zhang Yuanshan sighed.

"Blacklist?" Meng Qi felt like a country bumpkin. Shang Yi was also somewhat interested. Although he had read about it in the original novel, he had not heard of any blacklist in Taiyue City in the past month.

Jiang Zhi smiled and said:
"This is a list jointly created by all the major sects for the evil demons. Only the top 100 are listed. Haha, it is actually telling the disciples that if you don't have the strength of a foreign scene, if you meet someone on the list, you should immediately avoid them."

Suddenly, the grand and cold voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded:

"The exchange is completed, store the items and return to your own world."

······
After the same cycle of darkness and light, Shang Yi returned to the blacksmith shop in Taiyue City again.

"Tsk tsk, this time the reincarnation world has gained a lot!"

Shang Yi smiled and whispered.

He then changed his clothes and touched his face to become the middle-aged blacksmith again.

He had not yet planned to let Taiyue Mountain be the first place where the identity "Huaikong" would appear. At least it had to be far away from his home. Yuhai was a good place!
Moreover, the general outline of "Tathagata Palm" is about to appear there, and Shang Yi is also quite interested in it. There are also fragments of Yi Jin Jing along the way, which will also be of great help to the growth of Shang Yi's "Freedom of the Universe"!
Shang Yi's "Freedom Kundalini Gong" can not only deduce the martial arts he has seen, but also absorb the essence of the martial arts on the Freedom Heart Bell and integrate it into himself, thereby making his foundation stronger and his strength stronger!
He had no idea of ​​exchanging martial arts in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but it was very necessary for him to learn about the martial arts of various schools!

"Dang~dang~dang~"

The sound of hammers hitting iron rang out in the blacksmith shop, but the sound of metal hitting iron seemed to contain the sound of the great Dao, mysterious and unusual. (End of this chapter)
