The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 55 The Secret of Ghost Valley [Please collect and recommend]

Everyone in the world only remembers his power of forcing the King of Chu with his sword, but forgets his subsequent lobbying with the King of Chu!
As a result, his two nephews also mistakenly regarded him as a role model. They only focused on martial arts and forgot the foundation of Guigu Zongheng!

"Contemporary Ghost Valley seems to have gone the wrong way!" After Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang left, Fu Nian was a little confused.

Even descendants like him with the Feng surname know how to join Confucianism and learn more about culture, but Guigu Zongheng seems to have chosen the opposite path.

"Is there a possibility? I mean it's possible!" Yan Yan was also a little surprised by Gui Gu's behavior.

"What's possible?" Tian Hu immediately spoke in admiration.

"Guigu Zongheng's teaching model is free-range. After the disciples start teaching, they will ignore them. Moreover, each generation of Zongheng is hostile, so it has been passed down from generation to generation. Guigu has completely destroyed his family's internal resources!" Yan Yan touched his lips and thought.

It is very expensive to maintain a school of thought. The only ones that can live very well are the few schools that can have a sustained and stable income and are well-organized.

Gui Gu is unique among hundreds of schools who only have two core true disciples in his life, and the two senior brothers are also at odds with each other.

It has never been heard that Pang Juan, Sun Bin, Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others returned to Guigu after they became famous. Therefore, although the Zongheng faction has grown stronger, it is Zongheng, not Guigu.

Therefore, the consumption from generation to generation has also emptied Guigu's family fortune!
"The result is that Guigu is poor, has no money, and can no longer keep those Guigu classics. Only the Zongheng swordsmanship is passed down from generation to generation!" Yan Yan said seriously.

"..." Fu Nian, Tian Hu and others were shocked.

This answer seems to have never occurred to them, but it is very possible.

Guiguzi never leaves Guiguzi in his life, so there is no continuous income and no way to make money.

At least they have never heard of any way to make money in Guigu. Apart from the mountains that Wei State gave them, Guigu owns them. It seems that there are really no other sources of income.

Because of this, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang don't even have a decent weapon now!
"Zongheng disciples of all generations would send their life's hard work back to Guigu before they died. How could they lose their collection of books?" Mao Sui did not expect that Guigu would become like this.

He is not a direct disciple of Gui Valley, but he is called a disciple of Zongheng because he taught himself "Su Zi". He has never been qualified to step into the real Gui Valley.

"Guigu had only two disciples in his life, one vertical and one horizontal. However, our ancestor Pang Juan was defeated and hanged himself. Sun Bin also died of illness in Qi State, failing to send Guigu's knowledge back to Guigu. Later, senior Zhang Yi returned to Guigu, but also gave him Ghost Valley has brought huge disasters!" Gai Nie replied in a low voice.

"Senior Zhang Yi left Guigu and entered the Qin Dynasty. He made Guigu famous all over the world again, so when he returned to the Wei State, he was targeted by the Wei State!"

"When Senior Zhang Yi returned to Wei, the King of Qin passed away, and he lost the help of Qin. Then Guigu was attacked by thieves, and all the scriptures were robbed. Guigu was torched, and Senior Zhang Yi also died in that attack."

Mao Sui was extremely shocked. He had never thought that the Gui Valley that dominated the world would have such a secret.

"Do you know who did it?" Mao Sui asked hurriedly.

"Other than the Wei State, who can attack Guigu, which has so many mechanisms?" Wei Zhuang said coldly.

When the people left and the king of Qin was still alive, Zhang Yi was the most powerful prime minister in the world. No one dared to touch him, not Guigu!
However, when Ying Si died and King Wu of Qin succeeded to the throne, Zhang Yi lost the protection of the Qin State. The Wei State naturally had grievances and revenge, and took the opportunity to seize the secrets of Guigu.

"The fire was not set by the Wei people, but by senior Zhang Yi and Gui Guzi at that time. They did not want Gui Gu's secret knowledge to fall into Xiao Xiao's hands."

"But even if the contemporary Guiguzi survives, it is impossible for one person to re-write all the Guigu scriptures!" Gai Nie sighed.Therefore, Guigu’s inheritance is broken!

The present Guigu is just pieced together here and there, and the parts of the past that have been recovered are no longer the same as the Guigu that once dominated the world.

"Thankfully, the appearance of Senior Su Qin allowed Gui Valley to be rebuilt. Otherwise, I'm afraid Gui Valley would have been destroyed after the fire that year!" Gai Nie said with a sigh.

Zhang Yi and Su Qin were never from the same generation. When Zhang Yi was the prime minister of Qin, Su Qin had not yet set foot in the court. After Zhang Yi died, Su Qin had just emerged in the world. (Recorded in the "Books from the Warring States Strategists" on silk from the Han Dynasty Tomb in Mawangdui, Changsha)
"I didn't expect that Guigu had experienced such a disaster!" Mao Sui also had to lament the indifference of human nature.

Once a monarch and a courtier, the country changes with new people over time!

Even a great talent like Zhang Yi is no match for human nature!

I am also glad that after Zhang Yi's death, a talented person like Su Qin was born, otherwise Guigu would really have been reduced to the dust of history.

"So, the Zongheng inheritance that Guigu now has is not even as good as the families inherited by some Zongheng sect members!" Gai Nie sighed again.

Mao Sui also fell silent. He did not expect that Guigu, which was regarded as a holy place by Zongheng's disciples, had now declined to such an extent.

But he didn't dare to care about it. He was in Wei State now and was Lord Xinling's disciple. If Wei State knew about Guigu's current situation and Lord Xinling knew about it, it would be another catastrophe for Guigu. .

"I'm still curious, why are Guigu's disciples hostile all their lives?" Mao Sui asked his doubts.

He is a disciple of Zongheng, but he does not think that Zongheng will necessarily be hostile. He just adapts to the current situation and chooses to join forces with Zong or with Zongheng.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang shook their heads. They didn't know when Guigu disciples started to be hostile to each other.

Maybe it started with Sun Bin and Pang Juan. Guigu was not named Zongheng until Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan appeared.

Therefore, they did not know exactly when the mutual hostility between Guigu disciples became a routine.

"He Zong and Lian Heng are originally enemies, so they are naturally rivals!" Wei Zhuang said coldly and arrogantly.

Gai Nie was silent. He felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"On this trip, you have also met many masters from hundreds of schools. Who do you think is most likely to become the trend-setter that will lead the times in the future?" Mao Sui did not bother with the affairs of Guigu anymore. At his level, he would not go Management is the greatest help to Guigu.

"The little southern swordsman, Shudong!" Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang said in unison.

"Well, the purpose of my trip is not only to discuss some weapons purchases with the Sword Alliance, but also to follow Lord Xinling's order to come and inspect this young talent who is famous in the Chu Kingdom!" Mao Sui said with a smile. .

"Mr. Xinling also values ​​him?" Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were surprised again.

"He is scarier than you think, and Lord Xinling's information is more detailed than you know, but you can't tell them!" Mao Sui shook his head.

Even Lord Xinling would not spread the word about what Chu State deliberately concealed. This is a tacit understanding at the same level. For such a talent, the fewer people know about it, the better!
