Chapter 73 The Fog of History
"Xian'er, you are obviously a attendant of the Hanlin Academy, so why have you become a thousand households in the Jinyiwei?" Yue Buqun asked in confusion.
Everyone knows that now the civil servant group is superior, the military officers are lowly, and the Jinyiwei has a bad reputation, which is not good for the career in the future.
"Master, these thousand households of Jinyiwei are just used to protect them. During the Chinese New Year, the emperor issued an order to be the right assistant censor of the Inspectorate, and a fourth-rank official, who is still a civil servant!" Wei Xian smiled and said, "This time, according to Your Majesty's order, we will inspect the world and investigate the affairs of Japanese pirates."
"The right-level censor of the Inspectorate, a fourth-rank official?" Yue Buqun showed shock. He also took the exam for the scholar's fame and took the second provincial examination. He gave up his career in the officialdom before he failed. Naturally, he knew what this meant.
Even if the top scholar is given preferential treatment, he often sent a place to serve as a co-magistrate or at most a prefecture in the Hanlin Academy after three or five years. However, if he can serve as a prefect, he will be in a very remote prefecture. If he becomes an official in Beijing, the promotion will be much slower.
Now Wei Xian is already the fourth-rank official right assistant censor of the Inspectorate, and the promotion speed is incredibly fast.
You should know that Wei Xian is only 19 years old and under 20 years old. What does this mean? It means a bright future and he may even have the hope of joining the cabinet and becoming a cabinet minister in the future.
From this point of view, Wei Xian was highly valued and trusted by the emperor.
"Master, after my disciple left Beijing, I found that there was so much turmoil in the world, and the righteous devil sects fought, but what except?" Wei Xian asked.
Yue Buqun pondered for a moment and said, "This matter has to start four years ago. Starting from four years ago, the leader of the Demon Sect, Dongfang Bubai, never left the Heimu Cliff again. He entrusted the major affairs of the sect to a small person and promoted him to the chief executive."
"Zuo Lengchan has less pressure from Dongfang Bubai, so he intends to take this opportunity to speed up the combination of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. He has made many moves in secret. Moreover, the Songshan Sect has no idea where to get a bow and crossbow, and its financial resources are quite strong. Now there are more than a thousand disciples of the Songshan Sect." Yue Buqun said: "It is said that the saint of the Demon Sect, Ren Yingying, the former leader of the Demon Sect, got off the Heimu Cliff and walked around the world. The right envoy of the Demon Sect, Xiang Wentian, also got off the Heimu Cliff not long ago, and it is said that he is incompatible with Yang Lianting."
After hearing this, Wei Xian knew the affairs of the world.
Originally, Dongfang Bubai ascended the throne of the leader of the Demon Sect, went to Shaolin Temple alone to defeat Master Fang Zheng, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and defeated the 18 bronze formation of Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Temple suffered numerous casualties and suffered heavy losses. Later, Dongfang Bubai then joined Wudang again, defeating the head of Wudang Taoist Master Chongxu, and defeating the Wudang Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation, which damaged the Wudang Sect. With its proud record, Dongfang Bubai is known as "the sunrise in the east, and I am the only one in the world." He is recognized as the number one in the world. With Dongfang Bubai's power over the world, the power of the Demon Sect has developed rapidly, and the righteous path can only retreat and shrink the power, so as not to provoke Dongfang Bubai and cause disaster.
Now Dongfang Bubai cannot leave the Black Wood Cliff, which is equivalent to a significant reduction in this deterrent power. Even Zuo Lengchan, who was originally cautious, seemed to have been released from the tight spell. He wanted to use Dongfang Bubai not to focus his attention on the Jianghu and quickly carry out the Five Mountains Sword Sect to further enhance his strength.
In this way, the world will naturally no longer be calm and enter a period of turbulence.
"Why does it take for the Hengshan Sect to wash your hands in the golden basin? If Liu Zhengfeng washes his hands in the golden basin, how can the Hengshan Sect resist the Songshan Sect?" Wei Xian asked in confusion. Logically, Liu Zhengfeng seemed to be the second leader of the Hengshan Sect, but in fact he was the first leader. If Liu Zhengfeng washes his hands in the golden basin, it would be equivalent to not being a gangster in the future and he could no longer be involved in the affairs of the Jianghu, and the Hengshan Sect would also be greatly damaged.
"At this time, I don't know that I will go to Hengyang City to attend his Golden Basin Handwashing Conference in a few days. I will see what the reason is." Yue Buqun also had a headache when he thought of this. The Hengshan Sect's strength became weaker, and the pressure on the Huashan Sect would increase a little.
You know, Liu Zhengfeng also firmly opposed the Wuyue Sword Sect and his martial arts are not much worse than his.
"By the way, Xian'er, is the Evil-Baring Sword Score in your hands?" Yue Buqun shifted the topic to the Lin family's "Evil-Baring Sword Score".
In order to enhance one's own strength to resist Zuo Lengchan's ambition, Yue Buqun made his mind to the Lin family's "Sword of Evils" and wanted to obtain the "Sword of Evils" to break through his own strength.
Wei Xian frowned slightly. To be honest, after reading "The Evil-Breaking Sword Book", Wei Xian felt that "The Evil-Breaking Sword Book" is really not a good thing, it is really evil. Although it repeatedly emphasized that practicing this skill requires self-cultivation, who in the world can really cultivate one's own nature and how many can resist the temptation of "The Evil-Breaking Sword Book"?
"Master, this "Sword of Evils" is quite evil. After the disciple obtained the "Sword of Evils", he burned it." Wei Xian said: "Master, do you know what eight characters does this technique start with?"
"If you want to practice this skill, you can castrate yourself by swinging your sword!" Wei Xian said these eight words, and Yue Buqun's face changed drastically. He suddenly stood up, sweating profusely on his head. He didn't expect that there was such evil skill in this world.
"Disciple discovered that the Lin family's evil-proof sword technique is actually somewhat similar to the Xiyi sword technique. They all go to the extreme speed, but the Xiyi sword technique contains Huashan weirdness, dangerousness, and the speed is still acceptable. However, the evil-proof sword technique has reached the extreme speed, like a ghost, with a very tricky angle, and has reached an extreme." Wei Xian frowned slightly and said, "The first-class masters in the martial arts world can drive this sword technique, but the internal energy consumption is extremely terrible. I am afraid that it is difficult for a top-class master to use this sword technique to fight the enemy."
Wei Xian demonstrated the Lin family's evil-proof sword technique. When the speed was slow at the beginning, there were various flaws in the sword moves, which were simply third-rate sword technique. However, when the speed increased, its power continued to double, and the faster the speed, the stronger the power.
Yue Buqun also imitated it. After several times, Yue Buqun's face turned quite bad. Then he said, "My ancestors in Huashan, Yue Su and Cai Zifeng went out to explore the world. One day, they arrived at Putian Shaolin Temple and stayed in Putian Shaolin Temple..."
Wei Xian frowned slightly. Only then did he realize that the Xiyi sword technique was no longer the Xiyi sword technique at the beginning, but was improved by Cai Zifeng after comprehending the "Sunflower Book" according to his own understanding. Even the "Zixia Secret Book" was not actually the Zixia Secret Book at the beginning, but was modified by Yue Su after comprehending the "Sunflower Book". Yue Su and Cai Zifeng were the origin of the Huashan Qi Sect and the Sword Sect. Yue Su was respected as the founder of the Qi Sect, and Cai Zifeng was respected as the founder of the Huashan Sword Sect. The two's ideas became increasingly different. When they were there, Huashan could still maintain harmony, but later the conflict of martial arts concepts became increasingly greater. By the time of the Qing Dynasty, the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect were already as powerful as water and fire, and finally the tragedy of the sects killing each other.
The "Sunflower Book" was when the Demon Sect learned the news and raided Huashan and snatched the "Sunflower Book" and the two sides formed a feud. After that, both the Huashan Sect, whether it was the Qi Sect or the Sword Sect, wanted to attack Heimu Cliff and regain the "Sunflower Book". Therefore, under the leadership of the Huashan Sect, the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Sect became more and more fierce in the fight, and the two sides were like water and fire, forming a situation that never ended.
The reason why Yue Buqun knew about this was because he learned about the secrets after he became the head of the Huashan Sect.
I learned that the Demon Sect’s "Sunflower Book" was taken from Huashan. It was not unaware of Dongfang Bubai. Dongfang Bubai was slightly better than him at the beginning. However, after practicing the "Sunflower Book", he became a master Fang Zheng and Taoist Master Chongxu in just a few years. Even the Eighteen Bronze Man Formation and the Seven-Second Section Formation were broken by Dongfang Bubai, and he was overwhelmed by the world. How could Yue Buqun not be moved when facing the crisis of Huashan Taoist tradition inheritance? As long as he practiced it himself, wouldn’t he become another Dongfang Bubai? With such peerless martial arts, it would only take ten years to revive Huashan.
If he wanted to grab the "Sunflower Book", Yue Buqun believed that he was not the opponent of Dongfang Bubai. But Yue Buqun knew that Lin Yuantu, the ancestor of the Lin family, had such martial arts, was related to Huashan, so he naturally turned his attention to the "Sword of Evil-Repelling" of the Lin family.
Wei Xian sighed, not expecting that the martial arts of the Huashan Sect was so deeply involved in "The Book of Sunflower". He didn't know whether Yue Su and Cai Zifeng should be said to be the heroes of the Huashan Sect or the sinner of the Huashan Sect. Huashan was prosperous because of the two of them. At the peak, they chased Shaolin and Wudang, but it also split the Huashan Sect into Qi Sect and Jian Sect, which buried the source of disaster for the sect's internal strife.
"Master, you have thought that Yue Su and Cai Zifeng were just second-rate masters in the world at that time. How could they learn that Putian Shaolin Temple has a unique knowledge of "Sunflower Book"? How could they meet Master Hongye? How could they peek at "Sunflower Book"?" A flash of inspiration flashed through Wei Xian's mind, as if he had seen through the truth behind the fog.
Wei Xian asked three questions in a row, which made Yue Buqun stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this question.
Now that Wei Xian asked this, Yue Buqun had to think about it.
Back then, Yue Su and Cai Zifeng were just second-rate masters in the martial arts world, and were just elite disciples in the Huashan Sect, not outstanding. At that time, the head of the Huashan Sect was superb, and more than ten elders in the sect were first-rate. However, when Yue Su and Cai Zifeng were in the martial arts world, they were able to learn that the "Sunflower Book" was a peerless magical skill and were obtained by Shaolin Temple in Putian. This is very strange. If many secret identities in the martial arts world were not reached a certain level, it would be impossible to know.
What's even more strange is that when they went to Putian Shaolin Temple, they could actually meet Zen Master Hongye. You should know that it was only a few years before Shaolin Temple divided its lineage to Putian to establish Shaolin Temple. Zen Master Hongye was a top-notch master in the martial arts world, with a very high status and a seniority of more than the leader of the Huashan Sect. Two second-rate masters could actually meet Zen Master Hongye, which was impossible to think about.
This is like the Shaolin Temple of Linghu Chong. If there were no letters or prayers from Yue Buqun, but a person, then the person who received Linghu Chong was at most the head of the Luohan Hall, and it would never be possible to meet Master Fang Zheng.
Since "Sunflower Book" is a unique skill, no matter what sect it is, it will definitely be treasured and can't be found no matter how you look for it. As a result, the Shaolin Temple in Putian was so good that it could be seen by Yue Su and Cai Zifeng. This is simply incredible.
So, wouldn’t it be that if a person from the martial arts world goes to Shaolin Temple, he can see the Yijin Jing of Shaolin Temple and the 72 unique skills of Shaolin Temple?
