Chapter 177 Sword Test Villa

Liu Yunzi was shocked. After a long while, he said, "Shi Feng, do you remember that there are five instructions from our ancestors engraved at the entrance of our mountain: the five elements are hard to distinguish, good and evil are hard to distinguish, inside and outside are hard to rebuke, right and wrong are hard to resolve, and love and hate are hard to abandon. The most difficult one is the last one. If you can't break through love, hatred, and grudges, how can you achieve the Great Dao?"

Shi Feng said stubbornly, "If I can't avenge the murder of my mother and the slaughter of the village, what's the use of the Great Dao?"

"When will the revenge end? Shi Feng, since you became an art master, have you never killed anyone with your hands? Good and evil In the war, many people died in your hands. They may not all be evil people, but some are kind people. If you kill them, who will their relatives seek revenge on? "

"Disciple will take responsibility for what they have done. If they want revenge, they can come to me. But disciples will never be as despicable as them and kill innocent people, especially irrelevant women, children and the elderly."

Liu Yunzi sighed, "I have never experienced the suffering of others, but I advise others to be kind. It is rash for the teacher."

Shi Feng's emotions have calmed down a lot. He knelt on the ground and did not speak.

"Do you know who the enemy is who massacred Hongshi Town?"

"Disciple knows, his name is Hou Qi."

Shi Feng had already found out about the incident in Taiji Sect. At that time, Wu Liu sent a letter for help, and the person sent by the Demon Puppet Sect was Hou Qi. This person was ruthless and had a good relationship with Wu Liu.

There are more than a dozen Jindan cultivators in the Demon Puppet Sect, but eight of them are the direct disciples of Mo Laoguai, and they are the most famous, known as the Eight Demons. They all have their own names, but they are usually called by the order in which they joined the sect, namely Mo Da, Feng Er, Qi San, Wu Si, Chen Wu, Wu Liu, Hou Qi, Yuan Ba. After being called for a long time, their real names have been forgotten.

Among the Eight Demons, Wu Si and Wu Liu are two brothers, and both brothers have fallen. Now there are only six demons left in the Eight Demons.

"It seems that you have checked the information of the Demon Puppet Sect privately. Do you know that Hou Qi has been in the Golden Core stage for a hundred years and is quite powerful? How can you, a mere foundation-building cultivator, take revenge?"

"Disciple knows that the enemy's magical powers are powerful, but things are in human hands, and there will always be a way."

"Shi Feng, haste makes waste. If you act too hastily and think too much, you will cause trouble."

Shi Feng was shocked. Although the master's words were old sayings, they hit the point. He was originally quite steady in doing things, but because of his desire for revenge and his eagerness to improve his strength, he often acted rashly. For example, during the trip to Qianling Mountain, he killed Qiu Longzi and got twelve second-level demon crystals, as well as black tortoise bones, shadowless spider silk, peacock feather fans, and immaculate beads. Treasures such as these were already very fruitful.

But when he heard that the wasp honey could break through the bottleneck, he became greedy again. As a result, he was restricted everywhere during his trip to Camelback Mountain because of his lack of strength. He was first plotted against by the old man surnamed Meng and the black-robed monk, and then he was chased by the red-haired man and forced to sneak into the bone-dissolving pond. He finally escaped, but fell into Qianli's hands again. Later, he met the Shadow Demon Dragon and was at the mercy of others all the way.

In the end, he was threatened by the Shadow Demon Dragon and planted a ban. The reason for all this was that he was too impatient and fell into trouble.

Liu Yunzi paced twice and said, "The Demon Puppet Sect and my Taiji Sect have intertwined territories, and the grudges have been there for years. They are already enemies for generations. Wu Liuhouqi killed my teacher Danyang, and he is also my enemy. Shi Feng, why don't you just practice with peace of mind and leave the revenge to me."

Shi Feng was touched, but he still shook his head, "Houqi did not besiege the ancestor of Danyang, how can he be said to be your enemy? Master, you are a Taoist, and you have seen through the grudges. How dare I drag my teacher down for my own private affairs!"

Liu Yunzi smiled and said, "Although I am a Taoist priest, my character is not so high, and I am also very angry. Don't you often get scolded by me?"

Shi Feng shook his head, but he refused. First, he didn't want his master to take risks, and second, he had to kill his enemy with his own hands to relieve the hatred in his heart, so he would never let others do it.

Liu Yunzi looked at Shi Feng, who was really as stubborn as his name, as stubborn as a stone. He sighed, "Then how do you take revenge? You may never catch up with Hou Qi's strength. When you catch up, he may have died of old age."

Although cultivators have great magical powers, they are also limited in life span. The life span of mortals is limited to 100 years, while that of Qi Refiners can be doubled to 200 years. By analogy, the life span of foundation building is 400 years, that of golden elixir is 800 years, and that of Nascent Soul ancestor is 1,600 years.

Nascent Soul is an important dividing point for cultivators. After cultivating Nascent Soul, one becomes a semi-immortal body, but from then on, the life span does not increase by multiples. The life span of the cultivators in the Refining Void stage can reach 2,400 years, and that of the cultivators in the God-combining stage can reach 3,200 years.

The life span of human cultivators is at most 60 Jiazi, 3,600 years. If they do not transcend the tribulation and ascend to heaven, even if they are God-combining cultivators, their life span will be exhausted and they will also fall into the mortal world.

Liu Yunzi's meaning was very clear. Hou Qi had already been a Jindan cultivator. His bone age was at least three hundred years old. In another four hundred years, if he did not advance to the Nascent Soul stage, his life span would be over. In four hundred years, no matter how stupid Hou Qi was, he should be able to reach the middle stage of Jindan.

Shi Feng was only in the early stage of foundation building now. Could he form a pill and reach the middle stage of Jindan in four hundred years?

Shi Feng certainly had no such confidence. He thought for a while, "If you can't defeat him, you can outwit him."

"Outwit him? Shi Feng, you don't want to have such an idea," Liu Yunzi shook his head repeatedly, "I know you have a good brain, but in the world of cultivation, strength is respected. Conspiracies and tricks are not the best strategy. You still have to improve your cultivation in a down-to-earth manner."

Liu Yunzi saw that Shi Feng didn't speak, and knew that he didn't completely agree in his heart. He turned around and saw the Chengying Sword on the table, and said, "It seems that I really have a connection with this sword today. Then I will tell you another story. Do you know the origin of the Chengying Sword?"

"My disciple only knows that this sword once flowed into the world and was one of the three swords of Emperor Shang. As for its origin, I don't know."

Liu Yunzi picked up the long sword, flicked it, and the sound was like a dragon's roar, "The earliest source of the Chengying Sword was the Jianjian Villa. The Jianjian Villa has a mediocre reputation now, but it was famous back then."

"You have studied weapon refining with Senior Brother Qianchu for many years, so you should know about Wanling Sect, right?"

"I have heard of the famous disciples of Wanling Sect, but this large sect was wiped out in the war ten thousand years ago and the inheritance was cut off." Shi Feng replied.

"That's right! The Wanling Sect was the largest gang in Qinzhong back then. It spanned the west and east, and the tiger was on the dragon's side. There were countless affiliated sects of the family, and the Sword Trial Villa was one of them. There are also the three super sects in the middle of Qinzhong now. One of them, Xuanding Sect, was just a small affiliated sect of Wanling Sect. "

"The Ten Thousand Years War caused the collapse of the Wanling Sect. Many of the affiliated sects were destroyed along with the Wanling Sect, but some took the opportunity to expand and rise. Among them, the most developed ones are the Jianjian Villa and the Xuanding Sect."

"The Xuanding Sect benefited the most when the Wanling Sect was destroyed, and it also occupied the spiritual lineage of Zhongyue Songshan, so its power grew the fastest. They regarded themselves as the successors of the Wanling Sect, and they followed the old path of the Wanling Sect, even the various departments of the sect The settings of each hall are exactly the same as those of Wanling Sect.”

"After the demise of the Wanling Sect, the structure of Qinzhong Continent changed drastically, and many of the rules also changed. One of them is that the Qimen gang and trading houses must remain neutral and are not allowed to intervene in sect disputes. The Jianghu sect is not allowed to do business. You should do this Do you know?"

Shi Feng naturally knew this rule. As a weapon refiner, he knew the origin of this rule better than Liu Yunzi.

Before the Ten Thousand Years War, there was no distinction between the Qimen Chamber of Commerce and ordinary cultivation sects. Qimen gangs could also intervene in power struggles. If two sects, A and B, fought in a certain place, both sides would be evenly matched, but once Qimen gangs such as weapon refining and elixir making intervened, , the balance of victory will soon tilt. Therefore, when the Qimen gang intervenes in the family struggle, it will either win a big victory or a big defeat. Because you will continuously provide medicinal pills and magical weapons, you may bear the brunt and be slaughtered by the enemy.

After the Ten Thousand Years War, the senior officials of Qinzhong Continent held several discussions and felt that the Wanling Sect had expanded too quickly and monopolized the trading of magic weapons. This was one of the causes of the war. Therefore, they made a rule that Qimen Trading Company should be separated from other Jianghu sects and not participate in sect battles. , the elixirs, magical instruments, talismans, seals and other items refined by them are all sold in the shop. Similarly, ordinary cultivation sects can use the products they refine for their own use, but they are never allowed to sell them to a trading company to compete with the Qimen Trading Company for profit.

"As for the Sword Trial Villa, they are famous for their swords. They are good at both refining swords and swordsmanship. The Sword Trial is a test of both the sword and the swordsmanship. Chengying Sword is one of their masterpieces. The Sword Trial Villa is It is located in Laojun Mountain in Luoyang, which is also a very good spiritual place. After the demise of Wanling Sect, Trial Sword Villa seized the opportunity and expanded rapidly. Luoyang and Songshan were not far apart, and both families were expanding outwards, so it was inevitable that they would run into each other. "

"Although the strength of the Sword Trial Villa is good, it is still far behind the Xuanding Sect. And the owner of the Sword Trial Villa, Mr. Yun, had a temper that he would rather bend than bend. Both families are Qimen gangs who are engaged in the weapon refining business. In the business world The same swords and swords clashed several times, and the Jianjian Villa suffered heavy losses. In the end, Old Villa Master Yun became so angry that he died. "

"The successor village owner Yun Jing is the eldest son of the old village owner Yun. In order to avenge his father, he thought about it and felt that if he continued to follow the old path, he would not be a match for the Xuanding Sect anyway, so he came up with a countermeasure."

"Master Yunjing Yunzhuang thought to himself, I can not only refine swords but also master swordsmanship at the Sword Testing Villa, why not make a fuss about it? So he openly declared that he would no longer make weapons as a profession and turned into a martial arts sect. Later, he shunned Open the Xuanding Sect to the west and expand to the east.”

"The Sword Testing Villa aggressively recruited disciples, taught swordsmanship, and gave them swords refined in the villa. Followers gathered for a while, and soon, the power of the Sword Testing Villa developed from Luoyang to Xingyang, Xinzheng, and Yangcheng, occupying nine territories in a row. For this city, Yun Jing also got a nickname, Yun Jiucheng. Shi Feng, how do you think the Xuanding Sect should respond to such a situation? "

Shi Feng pondered for a moment and said, "It is definitely not possible for the Xuanding Sect to take action directly. After all, he is a weapon refining sect and is not allowed to participate in the disputes in the world. Of course, he must have many methods secretly. The disciples can't tell how specific they are. But Yunjiucheng is expanding so smoothly, and the market is so big, and the foundation is unstable, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated!"

Liu Yunzi praised, "Very good, your words 'fast' and 'big' hit the mark just right. The Xuanding Sect took advantage of this. Not only did he not stop the expansion of Jianjian Villa, but secretly encouraged it. As a result, a large number of monks came to the Sword Trial Villa, and everyone asked for swords. How could the Sword Trial Villa refine them? In addition, the newly joined forces kept asking for money, and the Sword Trial Villa couldn't make enough money, so Yun Jiucheng issued an order. All new monks will stop distributing swords and secretly sell the refined swords to the Southern Xinjiang sect to earn spiritual stones."

"The Xuanding Sect secretly collected evidence, and then bribed a gangster to rob a batch of goods from the Jianjian Villa. As a result, the 19th Cave in Miaojiang did not receive the goods, and a group of cave owners went to Luoyang to question the crime. It is said that he turned into a martial arts sect and secretly engaged in business, which was a taboo in the martial arts. What's even more outrageous is that the person who robbed the goods turned out to be the Jianjian Villa himself. The thief shouted to catch the thief, and he wanted money. He wants goods, sells them for two, and kills people from the 19th hole in Miaojiang. This makes the matter even bigger. "

"In the end, Yun Jiucheng had no choice but to commit suicide in public to put an end to this case. The once prosperous Sword Test Villa suddenly disappeared, and the treasured swords in the villa were scattered and lost, and Chengying Sword was one of them. And in this matter, Xuanding Sect defeated the Sword Test Villa without even showing up from beginning to end."

"Shi Feng, your master tells you this story to tell you that in the face of absolute strength, playing some tricks will only backfire."

Shi Feng said respectfully, "Master's teachings, disciples will keep them in mind." Liu Yunzi saw that Shi Feng's eyes showed a thoughtful look, knowing that he had listened to his words, and nodded, "Okay, I was going to tell you swordsmanship today, but I didn't expect it to be a story. It's getting late, you go back and rest, and I'll talk about swordsmanship next time."
