No taboos in the world

Chapter 234 Xiangyang City, Guo Jing and Huang Rong
"rise!"

With a low shout, he pointed his sword upward.

Five illusory swords immediately rose into the air, with upright postures and clear paths as they crossed in mid-air.

However, after just a few breaths, the trajectory of the Qi swords suddenly became disordered and they collided with each other. After the sword bodies shattered, they returned to the true Qi form and quickly dissipated.

"It's really not that simple."

Hong Chen sighed again.

The method of condensing true Qi into sword comes from the characteristics of Xiantian Kung Fu, which is endless, solid and long-lasting.

With the assistance of the innate sword energy, the condensed sword energy is both strong and sharp.

In addition, Hong Chen also added the unique Qi vortex of the Beiming Divine Art to them, allowing them to absorb the power of heaven and earth independently. If there is no external force, they will basically not dissipate.

However, flying a sword is not as easy as imagined.

If he just let multiple sword qi run in one direction, then it would not be much different from his manipulation of the innate sword qi.

However, if one wants to separate the Qi swords and let them go their own ways, the difficulty will increase dramatically.

Qi sword and sword energy are two completely different things, both in terms of origin and form.

Sword energy is Qi, it can be in any shape and can attack from any angle and in any way.

Qi sword is a sword and must follow basic sword principles.

The reason for controlling the sword in this way is naturally to set up a sword formation.

Sword energy and sword formation are two different attack methods in kendo.

Hong Chen has practiced many sword techniques, but he actually entered the sword art with the Six Meridians Divine Sword and the Invisible Sword Energy that Breaks the Body.

But this does not mean that he will limit himself to the direction of sword energy.

Running multiple Qi swords simultaneously consumes a lot of energy very quickly, and also requires a higher degree of concentration and multitasking.

The power of heaven and earth can quickly replenish true energy, but it cannot be directly converted into mental power.

After all, it is related to the soul. If it is directly supplemented with the complex power of heaven and earth, it will probably turn into a fool in an instant.

Taoist exercises are among the rare ones in the world that can slowly improve one's mental strength while cultivating true qi.

However, compared with the techniques used in the world of immortal cultivation to directly cultivate spiritual power, there is a world of difference between them.

Moreover, it seems that the real sword-wielding technique should have more agile and profound sword-wielding methods. If that was a straight highway, then Hong Chen is probably walking on a winding mountain road now.

Due to the disparity in the world, we can only take it slowly.

He put down his sword fingers and felt the internal Qi in his body running spontaneously and continuously. The speed was not much slower than self-driving. After all, the cyclones in the Dantian and acupoints of the Beiming Divine Art were similar to simple engines or accelerators.

His physical strength and meridian strength were gradually activated and enhanced during the practice of true Qi. The most direct manifestation was that the amount of true Qi that his body could accommodate and carry was slowly increasing.

The innate body's internal strength limit of one thousand years was actually broken.

This is undoubtedly good news. If we have to say what Hong Chen is obsessed with, it is his obsession with increasing the amount of true qi.

Now, his three thousand years of true energy is enough to crush 90% of the masters in the world. He doesn't mind further expanding and deepening the advantage of this track.

Turn around.

Yang Guo was concentrating on practicing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Hong Chen guessed correctly, he was indeed very talented in palm techniques.

Now he has learned the basic moves of the entire set of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and he can perform the first four moves quite well. Although he can't make the palms emit a dragon's roar, at least there is some movement. The others still require more practice.

He has already crossed the threshold of transplanting flowers and trees, and he can slowly accumulate true energy or find someone to absorb the energy and slowly refine it.

Simple and unparalleled beauty is in sight.

However, the one who has made the greatest progress is still Xiaolongnu.

Practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra and the Nine Yin Scriptures simultaneously, she officially broke through to the Grandmaster realm and can be regarded as the best in the world.

People with clear minds always make rapid progress in their practice.

"Stop practicing and eat."

As soon as Hong Chen opened his mouth, Yang Guo stopped immediately, sat down on the ground, sweating profusely and panting heavily.

Half an hour later, Hong Chen put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "It's time to go down the mountain."

Hearing this, Xiaolongnu frowned slightly and immediately looked up.

"why?"

"There's work to do."

"what's up?"

"a lot of."

Xiao Longnu paused, then took out the Nine Yin Scriptures and pushed it in front of Hong Chen.

"Give it back!"

Her tone was not very good.

Hong Chen: "Have you finished reading it?"

"Ah."

"What about the three styles of the evil dragon? Is there anything you don't understand?"

Xiaolongnu pursed her pink lips and shook her head.

On the side, Yang Guo wanted to talk to Hong Chen, but Granny Sun gently covered his mouth, stood up and took him away.

Hong Chen: "The Ancient Tomb Sect does not allow its disciples to leave without permission?"

"Yes." After a pause, Xiao Longnu looked at him and said, "Men are not allowed to enter the ancient tomb either."

"Haha, then I'm not the first person to break this rule."

Xiaolongnu didn't say anything.

Hong Chen smiled and said, "Then we'll meet again if we're lucky enough."

Xiao Longnu said nothing, just nodded slightly.

Hong Chen took the Nine Yin Scriptures and turned away.

After turning the corner, I saw Granny Sun and Yang Guo.

"Master, won't you take me with you?"

"Bring me, I'll find someone who can teach you the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms every day."

Yang Guo first breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head and refused: "I don't want to go back there. Uncle Guo treats me very well, but... I don't want to fight with them."

"They can't beat you, what are you afraid of?"

Yang Guo lowered his head and said nothing.

Hong Chen chuckled and rubbed his head: "Don't worry, you won't live with them. On the contrary, you will be a true member of the Beggars' Sect."

“Really?” Yang Guo raised his head, smiling.

"Yes." "Then can I travel the world and do good deeds?"

"of course not."

"Isn't he a real member of the Beggars' Sect?"

"Silly child, a true member of the Beggars' Sect is, of course, a beggar."

"..."

After sending Yang Guo back to pack his luggage, Granny Sun took a peek inside and whispered, "Senior Hong, the young lady isn't going out with you?"

Hong Chen shook his head slightly.

Granny Sun thought for a moment and asked again, "You didn't say anything either?"

“She has her own ideas.”

"Alas, Senior Hong, you are wrong. The girl doesn't have any ideas. She just follows the sect rules. She is very simple."

Hong Chen smiled and said, "Simplicity is a good thing, free from the troubles of the world. After this month, I feel that there is nothing wrong with the ancient tomb. At least she is doing what she wants to do every day."

Granny Sun was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Senior, what you said makes sense, but you have been accustomed to the prosperity of the world after all, while the girl was adopted since she was a child, and has lived in the ancient tomb ever since. She has left only a few times. So I think she should go and see what this world is like."

"Your mentality is like that of a parent."

"I was the one who took care of her when she was still in swaddling clothes. There is no difference between her and my parents." Grandma Sun sighed, very disappointed.

Hong Chen thought for a moment and then said, "Although she is very naive, I think she will have a chance to go out in the future. By then, she will be able to see the world. I just hope that the world will not let her down."

Granny Sun nodded: "What you said makes sense. In fact, in the past month, the girl has not been averse to you. In the past, when facing other adult men, she would not even look at them, let alone speak. I thought..."

Hong Chen couldn't help but shook his head: "I know what you mean, but I'm sure she doesn't have that idea. However, I think she should have regarded me as a friend."

"That's great too." Grandma Sun said with a smile, "Senior, if you have time in the future, you may come to the Ancient Tomb Sect again. I will make tea for you."

"it is good."

Not long after, Yang Guo came over with a bag on his back.

"Goodbye, Grandma Sun. I'll come back to see you!"

"Okay, okay, good kid, learn your skills well when you go out. Next time you come, grandma will check your skills."

Yang Guo smiled and scratched his head, bowed, and followed Hong Chen.

Xiangyang.

It is named because it is located on the south bank of the Xiang River. It has been a transportation fortress for water and land transportation since ancient times, making it a place of contention for military strategists.

Before that, it was also the first barrier in the north of the Southern Song Dynasty.

After the Xuan Dynasty replaced the Song Dynasty, the first place the army entered was Xiangyang.

In the eyes of the people in the martial arts world, Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who are in charge of this place, are also the two most prestigious heroes in the entire Southern Song Dynasty.

Hong Chen didn’t know what Xiangyang City was like in the past, but the current living conditions of the people in this city did not seem to be particularly tense.

In the restaurant box, Yang Guo was holding a leg of lamb and chewing it until his mouth was full of oil, while Hong Chen was leaning against the window and taking a sip from time to time.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Hong Chen glanced and said, "Come in."

The door opened and there was more than one person outside.

Leading the group was the elderly Hong Qi, followed by a pair of middle-aged men. It went without saying that they were Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

"Hehe, thank you for keeping me waiting for so long, Boss Hong. I apologize to you." Hong Qi walked forward with a smile and bowed happily.

Yang Guo held the leg of lamb and looked at Guo Jing and Huang Rong awkwardly.

Fortunately, they were too busy to deal with him at the moment.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong followed Hong Qi and paid their respects.

"Junior Guo Jing, greetings to Senior Hong!"

"Junior Huang Rong, greetings to Gang Leader Hong!"

Hong Chen glanced at Hong Qi, staring at him so hard that he felt scared. He instantly realized that his arrangement was really unnecessary.

Because Hong Chen had said in advance that he should come alone so that his little disciple would not be embarrassed, but Hong Qi felt that he should bring the younger generation to pay the visit.

But now that everyone is here, there is no point in saying anything else.

"sit."

"Thank you, Boss Hong!"

The three of them sat down. Hong Qi sat upright with a nervous look on his face, without any trace of his former ease and open-mindedness. Guo Jing stood straight with a look of reverence in his eyes. Huang Rong had a dignified posture, but her eyes were bright and lively, as if she understood something.

Then, she shifted her gaze and said with a smile: "Guo'er, aren't you practicing martial arts in the Quanzhen Sect?"

Yang Guo put down the lamb leg and said, “Aunt Guo, I came back with Master.”

"Master?"

The three of them said in unison, with surprise between their brows.

Hong Chen: "Do you have any objections?"

The three of them shook their heads at the same time.

Huang Rong said with even clearer thoughts: "Boss Hong, you are joking. It is a blessing for Guoer to be able to have you as his master. We are so happy that we can't wait."

"hope so."

Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Huang Rong's eyes again.

Hong Chen put down his wine glass and looked at Yang Guo: "Since everyone is here, why not tell your elders about your experiences during this period of time."

“Oh.” Yang Guo responded, “After Uncle Guo kept me in Quanzhen Sect that day…”

"It's a little late. Let's start from the beginning."

"Well, should I start from the time I met Uncle Guo?"

"can."

Soon, as Yang Guo continued to speak, the three of them frowned more and more deeply.

First, he was bullied by the elder Wu and the younger Wu, then he was scolded by Guo Fu, and finally he was insulted, beaten and scolded by the adults of Quanzhen Sect.

To be honest, Yang Guo's counterattack against Wu and his brother, the slap he gave to Guo Fu, and his retorts to the Quanzhen Taoist priest were already the minimum level of resistance.

After Yang Guo finished speaking from his own perspective, if Huang Rong had not been there to hold him back, he would have probably slammed the table and stood up.

Hong Chen slowly poured a glass of wine, put down the jade gourd, and said to Yang Guo: "Do you know what I would do if it were me?"

Yang Guo was stunned for a moment and shook his head slightly.

Hong Chen's eyes swept over the three people beside him.

"I will kill them."
