After the banquet, the head of the Du family arranged for Su Xin and other new members of the Du family to rest.
Because of his different status, Su Xin was placed in a large house in the center of the Du family, and he was treated the same as some elders of the Du family.
Among the entire Du family's retainers, only Wei Changfeng and Su Xin received such treatment, which made Wei Changfeng even more angry.
After a night's rest, Su Xin woke up the next morning and saw Du Chen practicing his sword there as soon as he came out of the yard.
Ever since he got the broken sword, although he could use the power of the broken sword to crush warriors of the same level, and even warriors at a higher level than him, he still kept practicing diligently.
Because the power of Broken Sword is not his power after all, what he cultivates is his own power.
What Du Chen is practicing now is a set of slightly primitive sword techniques. The sword technique looks ordinary, but it has a strange charm in it.
Su Xin could tell at a glance that this sword technique must have been inherited from ancient times.
There are many Kung Fu books in the six gates. Naturally, the six gates of Jiangnan Road also have their own sutra collection pavilion.
However, all the techniques within the six gates are limited, and most of them are suitable for the cultivation of innate warriors.
The skills at the Yuan Shen realm are too precious, and you must go to the Six Gates Headquarters and have enough merit in your position to redeem them.
Although Su Xin is also an innate warrior now, he no longer likes the techniques used by innate warriors, so he just skimmed through these techniques without studying them seriously.
Among those collections of books, there are several ancient books on martial arts and martial arts. It can be clearly seen from there that the ancient martial arts were completely different from those of today.
The development of martial arts to this day will not be discussed in the ancient times. The martial arts at that time was relatively vague and even relied entirely on personal understanding. Basically, no martial arts books have been handed down.
The ancient period thousands of years ago was when martial arts truly flourished.
At that time, dozens of countries in the Central Plains and even the Western Regions, Southern Barbarians, Northern Plains and other places were competing for hegemony, and many schools of martial arts were created. They were the originators of hundreds of martial arts schools today.
However, the martial arts in ancient times may not be more powerful than the martial arts today. The martial arts techniques at that time were relatively simple. It can be said that it is more appropriate to summarize them with the words "the greatest simplicity".
But this kind of simple martial arts also tests the practitioner's qualifications and understanding. Unlike some of the current martial arts techniques and martial arts, even which meridian is taken first and which meridian is taken last during practice, how many times does it take to run a week?
Write it clearly for a long time.
Su Xin stood here and looked at Du Chen's sword practice for a long time. Only then did he realize that Su Xin was standing next to him, and he was suddenly startled.
You must know that his sword skills were demonstrated to him one by one in Duandao's dream. The Du family did not have such martial arts, so he usually got up very early and started practicing this sword technique in the yard. Once
When I see others coming, I switch to their Du family's own sword skills.
However, when Du Chen saw that the person coming was Su Xin, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Su Xin was an outsider, and he didn't know what the Du family's sword skills were like.
Du Chen put away the broken knife, raised his hand to Su Xinyi and said, "I have met Taoist Master Qing Xuanzi."
Su Xin stroked his beard and nodded: "Yes, although talent is important in martial arts, perseverance is more important. Judging from your appearance, you should be used to practicing here very early, right?"
Du Chen smiled and scratched his head and said: "I am relatively stupid in talent. I can't compare with others in terms of talent, so I can only work harder. Anyway, I believe that hard work can make up for my weakness."
Su Xin nodded and said: "You're right, hard work can make up for weakness. Your sword skills are also very good, but I think there is something missing."
Du Chen asked curiously: "What's missing?"
This sword technique was given to him by Duandao in a dream. Although he didn't know what level this sword technique was, it shouldn't be very weak.
Su Xin pointed at Du Chen himself and said: "Murderous aura and fighting spirit, there is no murderous aura and fighting spirit in your sword skills. The problem is not your sword skills, but you as a person."
"Murderous intent and fighting spirit?" Du Chen muttered these two words.
Su Xin continued: "Why do you practice martial arts? If it is to strengthen your body and prolong your life, then just pretend I didn't say anything.
But if you want to become stronger, then you must have murderous intent and fighting spirit, otherwise your martial arts will have no soul and will be just like a flimsy display.
Martial arts, whether good or evil, is a way of killing and attacking, in order to pursue more powerful power and to make oneself stronger.
If I guess correctly, you have never killed anyone since you started practicing martial arts, and you have never even participated in a life-and-death fight.
You are stronger than the younger generation disciples of the Du family, so you can easily crush them. Similarly, those disciples of the Zhang family are no match for you, so you can win so easily.
However, once you meet a truly strong person, your current shortcomings will be infinitely magnified. Even if the opponent is weaker than you, if the opponent has a will to kill and an unparalleled fighting spirit, the person who dies in the end will definitely be you.
.”
What Su Xin said was not to deceive Du Chen, but to tell the truth.
He had seen this kind of situation not only with Du Chen, but also with Wen Qinghe of the Wen family at the beginning.
The head of the Wen family, Wen Mingyu, protected Wen Qinghe so well that he was already in the innate spiritual realm and didn't have much actual combat experience, let alone life and death fights.
But later he was plotted by Su Xin to kill Wu Qingyun, which seemed to completely break a shackles, making Wen Qinghe's character completely extreme and murderous.
During the battle to destroy the Xunfeng Sword Sect, Wen Qinghe slaughtered more than ten disciples of the Xunfeng Sword Sect.
After that, the Wen family followed Su Xin and slaughtered four more sects. Wen Qinghe participated in these battles, making him like a madman when fighting to the death. He would not stop until death, making some disciples of the Wen family lose their temper.
I dare to compete with this young master.
Although Wen Qinghe's strength has greatly improved in this way, Wen Mingyu doesn't know whether to cry or laugh when he looks like this.
Du Chen's current problems are obviously the same as those of Wen Qinghe before.
After hearing Su Xin's explanation, Du Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly saluted Su Xin and said, "Thank you, Taoist Master, for clearing up the confusion."
But at this time, the broken knife in his hand sounded a warning, which made Du Chen a little confused as to what it meant.
The Taoist priest in front of me is really good. He praised himself at the banquet yesterday and even wanted to accept him as a disciple.
Moreover, he was not angry when he rejected him, and was still here to give him guidance. Du Chen didn't understand why Duan Dao was always wary of this Taoist priest.
Although he didn't understand, Du Chen still decided to believe in Duandao's judgment. He bowed his hand to Su Xin. Just as he was about to say goodbye, he saw the head of the Du family walking in and laughed: "Taoist Master Qing Xuanzi is right.
, Martial arts is the way of attack. How can one succeed without the will to fight and murderous intent?
But don’t worry about this, after the battle between our Du family and the Zhang family, the remaining disciples of the Du family will definitely be the best among the best!"
The head of the Du family said to Su Xin: "Taoist Qingxuanzi, our Du family is ready to fight the Zhang family, so we ask Taoist Qingxuanzi to move over and come with me to discuss how to deal with the Zhang family."
Su Xin nodded, and the head of the Du family thought for a while and said to Du Chen: "Chen'er, come here too."
Originally, only the heirs of the Du family were eligible to participate in such important events, but now there are eight young disciples of the Du family who are qualified to be heirs. Among them, Du Chen, who is the strongest, should also receive some preferential treatment.
After Du Chen heard this, his expression suddenly became happy, and he quickly followed Su Xin and the head of the Du family to the meeting hall.
At this time, in the meeting hall, all the shrine-level elders of the Du family were here. In addition to the elders of the Du family, there was also a shrine-level warrior recruited by Su Xin, a total of eleven people.
However, even if there are eleven divine palace level warriors, their strength is still inferior to that of the Zhang family.
Although the Du family has the half-step Yuan Shen realm, the head of the Du family, and Su Xin, a strong man who has understood the meaning of the sword, Zhang Jiaming's apparent strength consists of twelve innate warriors, hidden in the dark.
How much power is there?
The head of the Du family can be sure that while he is here to attract customers in a big way, the Zhang family is not idle either. They may have some tricks up their sleeves.
The head of the Du family coughed and said: "Everyone, now we have reached a critical moment of life and death for our Du family. Let's talk about how to deal with the Zhang family. Let's brainstorm and come up with the best way."
Many elders of the Du family frowned. The Du family had been fighting with the Zhang family for several lifetimes. From the beginning of the feud between the two families to now, they have been suppressed by the Zhang family.
The gap in strength is not easy to make up, and besides waiting for the Zhang family's attack, they can't think of any good way.
At this time, Wei Changfeng said: "Master, I have a plan here."
The head of the Du family said: "Elder Wei, please tell me what countermeasures you have."
Wei Changfeng said: "The gap between our Du family and Zhang family is not easy to make up, so it is unwise to attack rashly. We should remain unchanged in response to changes."
Many Du family members present curled their lips, isn't this nonsense? Everyone can think of this so-called strategy, why do you need to say it?
However, Wei Changfeng continued: "Of course we can't just wait for the Zhang family to attack.
So externally, we sent spies to inquire about the Zhang family's activities to see what their strength is and what kind of conspiracy they are playing. Internally, we set up traps and other things throughout the Du family.
If there is a channel, it would be best to purchase a large number of Mohist organs and place them around the trap. It would also be best to get some hidden weapons from the Tang Sect and give them to the junior disciples so that they can attack them secretly.
With such a foolproof arrangement, it is guaranteed that the Zhang family will never come back!" (To be continued.).. ( )
