Everything starts from Tian Long Ba Bu

Chapter 168 The truth is revealed, the Taolin discusses martial arts!
  Jin Jiuling is dead!
  As the younger brother of Master Balsam Pear, he is also the "number one master" of the six sects for three hundred years, and is also known as "the best catcher in the world" by the world. His reputation is not bad.

It's just that no matter how famous a person is, once he turns into a cold corpse, you are not even as good as a homeless wild dog on the street!
  "Good swordsmanship!"

Seeing the grace of Ye Gucheng's sword, Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh.

Jin Jiuling is a secretive person and has unfathomable martial arts skills. Before he committed crimes as an embroidery robber, he had never failed in the world!
  With his martial arts, he was naturally entitled to be proud, but he was too arrogant, even to the point of looking down on everyone.

The level of martial arts in Jianghu this time can be described by three standards.

One is the little old man Wu Ming, and the second is Mu Taoist who goes by the pseudonym Lao Daobaozi.

The second one is: Ye Gucheng Gongjiu and Ximen Chuixue.

The third person will get: Jin Jiuling.

Of course, during this period, Dugu Yihe, Huo Xiu and others disappeared. As for the martial arts of Jade Rakshasa, the current leader of the Demon Cult, it is a bit confusing.

However, as he can serve as the leader of the Demon Cult, his martial arts skills are enough to rank among Gong Jiu and Ximen Chuixue, and he may even be included in their ranks.

It's funny to say that in Lu Xiaofeng's world, these masters who have been famous for many years are each better at acting than the last, and they always leave a little effort in everything, which gives Jin Jiuling an illusion of conceitedness.

"This is a good swordsmanship!"

Ye Gucheng didn't even look at Jin Jiuling who fell at his feet, but stared at Murong Fu not far away and said slowly.

When he fights with others, he never takes advantage of others' danger, but today's attack on Jin Jiuling was an exception.

But at this time, Crown Prince Nan looked at Jin Jiuling's body and suddenly said: "Put Jin Jiuling's body in a coffin and return it to Master Balsam Pear!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several more guards from the Nanwang Palace appeared outside Taolin and carried away Jin Jiuling's body in the blink of an eye.

Hearing this, Murong Fu took a meaningful look at the Crown Prince of Nanwang, and couldn't help but sigh at the Crown Prince's methods. At the same time, he also understood why the always noble Ye Gucheng accepted a royal relative as his disciple, and even He is also willing to help him usurp power and seize the throne.

It should be noted that Ye Gucheng is so aloof and arrogant. People are like immortals, living far away in the sky. How can immortals fall into the mortal world at will?

Now Murong Fu has understood most of the reasons. It is obvious that there is indeed something extraordinary about this Nanwang Crown Prince, which can attract the aloof and arrogant Baiyun City Lord to have other thoughts.

"I lost!"

At the same time, after Jin Jiuling committed suicide in public, Lu Xiaofeng, who had been secretly competing with Murong Fu, suddenly spoke.

"Oh?"

When Murong Fu heard this, he just raised his brows slightly.

"Ever since we said goodbye to Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, I have been thinking about winning against you in an honest and fair way, but the facts prove that I still lost!"

Lu Xiaofeng, who rarely bowed to others, this time uncharacteristically admitted that she had completely lost to Murong Fu.

"At the same time, I also want to thank you, thank you for your help!"

After saying this, Lu Xiaofeng actually saluted Murong Fu solemnly and thanked him.

Lu Xiaofeng's back was already soaked with cold sweat when she thought that Xue Bing was almost in a desperate situation because of the wrong person she trusted.

He is not a fool, he naturally understands what it means for a delicate and beautiful woman like Xue Bing to fall into the hands of the Snake King!
  Therefore, the more sober he becomes, the more regretful he becomes!
  On the side, Xue Bing was a little surprised when he saw Lu Xiaofeng, a stubborn donkey, actually chose to lower his head. Even the sullenness in his heart immediately dissipated a lot.

"You don't have to thank me!"

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng lower his head, Murong Fu was a little surprised, but soon he shook his head gently.

Everything he did was for his cousin, and saving Xue Bing was just a casual act, and he didn't need others to thank him.

Lu Xiaofeng said stubbornly: "But I have to thank you for this!"

When Murong Fu heard this, he just glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and said nothing.

Lu Xiaofeng is actually an interesting person!
  If he hadn't gone through something, Murong Fu would even be willing to be his friend!

But now that he has experienced some things, Murong Fu also understands why Lu Xiaofeng has the title "Lu Sandan".

Lu Sandan means: bastard, fool, pauper.

He would go to the sword or the sea of ​​fire for his friends, but unfortunately, since the two met, Lu Xiaofeng's friend has become Murong Fu's opponent!

"Take him away!"

Murong Fu suddenly let out a long sigh, and then signaled Deng Baichuan and Deng Baichuan to let go of Sikong Zhaixing.

Lu Xiaofeng is undoubtedly a bastard, but an interesting bastard!

No matter how his friends trouble him, he can always let go and smile. Perhaps this is the charm of his personality!
  Even if he didn't like some of Lu Xiaofeng's actions, Murong Fu had to admit it.

"Thank you!"

Seeing Sikong Zhaixing walking weakly, Lu Xiaofeng took the first step to support him and at the same time thanked Murong Fu.

"Lu Xiaoji... I... have troubled... you again..."

Sikong Zhaixing leaned on Lu Xiaofeng's shoulder and said in a rare complicated tone.

"Sikong Zhaixing, you mischievous monkey spirit, you should know how powerful you are by now, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said that he did not take it to heart at all. Instead, he deliberately mentioned the ballads he had made in the past to ease Sikong Zhaixing's mood.

As soon as he spoke, Lu Xiaofeng had already left the peach forest with Sikong Zhaixing.

He has many friends, many of whom are proficient in medical skills. Now he needs to take Sikong Zhaixing to find these friends!

At the same time, Hua Manlou took the initiative to salute everyone, and then quickly followed them.

And when Xue Bing looked at Lu Xiaofeng's leaving figure, she suddenly seemed to understand him at that moment...

……

As Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou left, the atmosphere in this peach forest suddenly became strange.

Murong Fu and Ye Gucheng were both wearing white clothes. They stood in one place, but their eyes were fixed on each other at the same time.

At this moment, Ye Gucheng seemed to burst out with a sharp sword intent, shooting straight into the sky.

The aura around Murong Fu also began to condense, and his whole person seemed to turn into a mountain.

There were originally sounds of other birds and animals in the peach forest, but at this moment it suddenly became completely quiet.

The two faced each other in the air, fighting with their own energy. Although there were no swords and swords in this peach forest, it was more dangerous than the swords and swords.

"cousin!"

At this time, seeing that the two of them seemed to be fighting again, Wang Yuyan, who had been silent in the peach forest, suddenly spoke with worry in her eyes.

"Ok!"

Murong Fu's eyes moved and he looked at Wang Yuyan beside him.

And just as he opened his mouth, the aura that had gathered around him began to dissipate...

Seeing this scene, Ye Gucheng frowned slightly and deliberately restrained his sword intention. When Prince Nan Wang saw this scene, he originally frowned, but he immediately smiled and said: "Both of you are the best masters in the world. Once they fight, they will definitely make a breakthrough, and this battle will definitely be famous for future generations!"

"It's just that you two are not mortal enemies, so why do you need to fight each other with swords? Xiao Wang is brave and has a suggestion. You might as well argue about martial arts over wine. This will not hurt your friendship and can relieve the loneliness of the two of you who rarely meet enemies. I don’t know how?”

His smile was like a spring breeze and looked very sincere.

The Nanwang Mansion's rebellion is imminent, and the Lord of Baiyun City is the key to the plan. If the two of them fight now, even if they can win, it will definitely be a tragic victory!

Therefore, Prince Nan naturally did not want this battle to happen before the plan.

"it is good!"

Murong Fu had already understood the secret plot of Prince Nan, so he did not reveal it immediately. He just glanced at his cousin and nodded in agreement.

When Ye Gucheng saw this, he nodded slightly.

As the most important part of the plan, Ye Gucheng naturally understood the concerns of Prince Nan, so after sighing secretly in his heart, he stopped insisting.

Seeing that the two agreed, Crown Prince Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

Murong Fu and Ye Gucheng are rare masters in the world. If they really want to take action, his words alone may not be able to persuade them!
  He believed that he had learned the true story of the Lord of Baiyun City, but he knew it. With his current martial arts skills, he could not interfere in the fight between the two!

Soon under his command, there were some more tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks in the peach forest, as well as the specialty wine and dishes from Wuyang City's famous chefs. The three girls Wang Yuyan, A'Zhu, and A Bi were accompanied by Deng Baichuan. Also take a seat.

As for the two daughters, Xue Bing and Ouyang Qing, they were also sitting next to Wang Yuyan.

The two girls are not only members of the Red Shoes, but also members of the Jianghu. Today, seeing Murong Fu and Ye Gucheng about to have a martial arts debate, how could they want to miss it!
  Seeing Murong Fu sipping the wine in his glass, Ye Gucheng suddenly said: "I already have my sword in my hand!"

Murong Fu said: "I also have my sword in my hand!"

Ye Gucheng said: "Where?"

Murong Fu said: "In my heart!"

Ye Gucheng said: "In your heart?"

Murong Fu said: "Although I don't have a sword in my hand, I have a sword in my heart!"

Ye Gucheng's pupils suddenly shrank.

Murong Fu didn't have a sword in his hand, so his opponent couldn't see him!

Just because it is invisible, it is everywhere and everywhere. It may be in front of your eyes, in your throat, or in your soul.

Until your whole being has been destroyed by it, you still can't see its existence!

Prince Nan on the side clenched his fists tightly, his palms already soaked with cold sweat. As the disciple of Lord Baiyun, he was naturally in a terrifying state!
  "There is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart!"

This is the pinnacle of martial arts!

This is already the realm of "immortal Buddha"!

Others may not understand, but Ye Gucheng does.

Others were even a little disappointed.

Most people have to see something like that before they are willing to admit its value, but they don't know that the value of invisible things is much higher than what can be seen.

At this moment, the light in Murong Fu's eyes seemed to overwhelm Ye Gucheng.

Ye Gucheng said: "I understand!"

Murong Fu said: "Of course you understand!"

The world-famous "Lord of Baiyun City" naturally understands the realm of "no sword in hand, no sword in heart". If he doesn't understand it, there may not be many swordsmen in the world who understand it!
  Seeing that the two of them seemed to be playing martial arts, the two girls A'Zhu and A Bi were a little confused. After all, they were still young and had not practiced martial arts for a long time...

But Wang Yuyan, Xue Bing, Ouyang Qing and other girls showed seriousness in their eyes. The martial arts realm of the three of them could not reach this level, but it did not prevent them from understanding the profoundness and subtlety of this martial arts realm.

As for Deng Baichuan and Gong Yeqian, all of them looked solemn. It was obvious that the four of them had already understood how rare the martial arts realm their young master was talking about was!

Murong Fu suddenly raised his head, looked at the vast sky, and said slowly: "But do you know that having a sword in your heart without a sword is not the highest level of martial arts?"

"Oh, please advise!"

Two cold stars suddenly lit up in Ye Gucheng's eyes, obviously showing interest.

In fact, there are many masters in the world right now, such as Jin Jiuling, Dugu Yihe, Huo Xiu, and Mu Taoist...

But most of them deliberately hide their clumsiness, Huo Xiu is like this, Mu Tao Ren is like this, and the little old man Wu Ming hides overseas and rarely goes to the Central Plains in person.

Therefore, the current arena is naturally less exciting than the previous arenas!
  Without the training and insights from the battles between top masters, even if he is as transcendent as Ye Gucheng, he has only just taken this step. As for the way forward?

He can only take half a step forward now!

Murong Fu said: "If there is no sword in your hand and no sword in your heart, when the sword is me and I am the sword, it will be almost done!"

Ye Gucheng said: "Just about the same?"

Obviously he understood what Murong Fu was talking about.

Murong Fu's eyes flashed, an inexplicable smile appeared on his lips, and he said: "You are indeed the Lord of Baiyun City!"

“But it’s a little bit worse, but it’s actually a lot worse!”

Murong Fu looked at Ye Gucheng in front of him and continued to speak slowly.

Among the crowd, Prince Nan Wang, who was also a swordsman, had eyes filled with concentration. It was obvious that the martial arts realm that Murong Fu mentioned was far beyond what he could currently reach.

Murong Fu said: "The true pinnacle of martial arts is to be able to penetrate nature so well that there is no sword and no self, and the sword and self are forgotten. Only then can you truly be omnipotent and invincible!"

As soon as he said this, Leng Aoru Ye Gucheng couldn't help but change his face.

When Wang Yuyan heard the words not far away, she suddenly seemed to remember something and said: "In the past when Zen Buddhism was preaching, the Fifth Patriarch chanted the Buddha's name: 'The body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror stand. I should brush it diligently at all times so that no dust remains.' This is already a very profound Buddhist principle.”

After hearing this, Murong Fu nodded and looked at Wang Yuyan and said: "Cousin, you are right! This principle is just like 'the sword is me, I am the sword'. It is not easy to practice to this point!"

Wang Yuyan said: "But the Sixth Patriarch Huineng said even better: 'Bodhi is not a tree, nor is a mirror a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so where does the dust fall.' That's why he inherited the lineage of Zen Buddhism."

Murong Fu said: "Yes, this is the true essence of Zen. Only when you reach this stage can it be called the pinnacle of martial arts!"

A'Zhu frowned and said, "So, isn't the true meaning of martial arts the same as Zen Buddhism?"

Murong Fu smiled and said: "Everything in the world, when it reaches its peak, the principles are basically the same, and the same is true for martial arts!"

Xue Bing said: "So no matter what you do, you must achieve the goal of 'no one and no things, and forget both things and myself. Only then can you truly reach the state of transformation and reach the peak."

Murong Fu said: "You can say that!"

Ouyang Qing looked at Murong Fu's back and asked curiously: "I wonder if Young Master Murong has reached this level?"

Hearing this, Murong Fu smiled and said nothing.
