Changsun Mingjian distinguished his appearance and saw that Bai Xiaowen was not lying. He nodded and sighed: "I think that after Grandmaster Bai Jingyan sealed the sword in his later years, he did not care about Jianghu affairs. In order not to bring disaster to future generations, he did not pass down these deeds."
Guzhen said: "Zhenren Ruoxu, the thirty-fourth generation leader of our sect, once said that the sword technique of Duan Shui is unparalleled and the light of the sword is like a waterfall. Among the sword techniques in the world, Kuai Zi is ranked first. Even the devil Ying Jianfan
His flying shadow swordsmanship is also inferior. If your father Hanjiang Gong learns the essence of Duanshui swordsmanship, even if Concubine Yin comes in person, she can fight, and there is no chance that Ying Jianfan will wipe out the whole family."
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and said: "Elder Gu is saying that my father never really learned the Shuishui Sword Technique? But in my memory, he practiced swordsmanship every day, and the guests at the villa also praised his swordsmanship for reaching a level of proficiency.
.”
Changsun Ming laughed and said: "The guests at the villa are nothing more than a group of casual diners, not to mention whether their compliments are contrary to their intentions, but it doesn't matter if they are sincere. Their vision is limited, and they have never seen a truly superb swordsmanship.
"
Gu Zhen said: "If Mr. Bai can learn the real Shuishui Sword Technique and use this sword technique to kill Ying Motou, I think Zun Quan will be happy if he knows it. Exorcising corpses and ghosts, and injuring people with crossbows, after all, are not my integrity."
The conduct of a gentleman.”
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "The two seniors have taught me earnestly, and Bai will remember it in my heart. However, my father has been practicing swordsmanship for many years and has never mastered the essence of Shuishui Sword Technique. The younger generation is not talented enough in swordsmanship. I am afraid that no matter how hard I practice, I will not be able to make progress."
Guzhen shook his head: "Young Master Bai's statement is ridiculous. Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing to do it. Young Master Bai can practice the art of exorcising corpses, which shows that he is talented and wise. How can he not be good at practicing swordsmanship? As for your father, I am afraid he is practicing swordsmanship."
It cannot be caused by the law."
Bai Xiaowen showed curiosity: "I don't know the method? How can I explain this?"
Changsun Mingdao: "The ways of martial arts are vast, but martial arts moves can be roughly divided into two types. One is routine martial arts, such as the 'Thirteen Basic Moves of Infinite Sword Technique' that we introduce to our sect, and the other is the Blood God Palace Monster Chu
The 'Blood River Mahamudra' performed by Zhongheng is all of this type. This type of routine martial arts focuses on fighting skills. The actual situation is unpredictable when attacking, and the way to win is to hurt people's limbs..."
After a pause, Changsun Ming continued: "The second type is called 'Artistic Martial Arts', such as the 'Seven Illusions' used by the Poison-hand Guanyin just now, and the flute-playing maid of Mr. Bai, who used it on the Poison-hand Guanyin."
The method of enchantment. This type of martial arts emphasizes spiritual energy, and the method of defeating the enemy is to defeat the enemy's spiritual will."
Speaking of this, Chang Sunming added: "Of course, many martial arts have the characteristics of both routine martial arts and artistic conception martial arts, but they also have more emphasis. For example, Nie Jing, the demon from the Blood God Palace, used the fierce sword technique
, itself is a routine martial arts, but every time you slash, there is a burst of fire, making the enemy feel like they are in a torrential furnace. This belongs to the category of artistic conception martial arts, but generally speaking, it is still biased toward routine martial arts."
Bai Xiaowen listened silently, and verified what he saw and heard in the Jiange plane one by one, and found that it was indeed true. What the two elders said were important information about the world of the Jiange plane. This high-level difficult position
Face to face information is very precious.
Seeing the two elders pause in their words, Bai Xiaowen asked: "So, which one is more powerful, routine martial arts or artistic conception martial arts?"
Changsun Ming said: "Both have their own merits and cannot be generalized. Generally speaking, artistic conception martial arts is easy to master quickly, but it requires talent, and it is difficult for mediocre people to master it no matter how hard they work. Routine martial arts is slower to achieve results, but even with average qualifications,
It is also possible to practice to the highest level."
"The top martial arts in the category of routine martial arts should be the indestructible Vajra Body of the Four Masters 'Crazy Monk'. As for the pinnacle of artistic conception martial arts, it should be Ling Zhenren's 'Qiankun Square Inch Kung Fu'."
"Whether it is routine martial arts or artistic conception martial arts, they all require a prerequisite, which is profound internal strength cultivation, and the inner strength and mental methods that match the martial arts are particularly important."
Chixiao Sword Ancient Town took over the conversation: "It is said that 'Practice boxing without practicing Kung Fu, and you will be in vain'. Chu Zhongheng's Blood River Mahamudra is highly toxic, but these are the toxins attached to the 'Blood River Meridian' internal power. Nie Jing
The power of the Fierce Strike Sword Technique without the support of the 'Fire Wind Strength' internal strength will be reduced by several levels. The Poison Hand Guanyin's Seven Illusions and Mirages also require the 'Ten Thousand Flying Heart Sutra' she has practiced as a guide."
Changsun Ming said: "The Bai family's water-breaking sword technique is a routine, a superior martial art with both artistic conception. When practiced to a high level, the water-breaking sword technique can be achieved. It is an artistic conception martial arts that focuses on spiritual energy. Your Lord Han Jianggong may have not yet practiced it."
After obtaining the method, I only obtained the routine of the Shui-Shui Sword Technique, but lost the artistic conception of the Shui-Shui Sword Technique."
Changsun Ming's words were very clear. Bai Xiaowen frowned and looked thoughtful, and said, "Then how do you practice the Water-Breaking Sword Intent?"
"Master Bai needs to realize this by himself." Changsun Ming said, stroking his beard.
Bai Xiaowen searched for memories about the Shuishui Sword Technique, but found no clue at all. This is also normal. After the identity is switched, the rules of the spirit world will only provide some key information about the current identity and let the awakened know it in the form of memory fragments.
Water-breaking swordsmanship is a skill, and the rules of the spiritual world will not allow Bai Xiaowen to learn an additional skill for no reason.
Seeing Bai Xiaowen thinking hard, Gu Zhen made a suggestion: "According to my speculation, there should be some kind of secret to practicing the Water-Breaking Sword Intention, or a matching internal skill and mental method. Has your father never mentioned this to you?
What?"
In an instant, many thoughts went through Bai Xiaowen's mind.
In the team channel, Li Shuyi said with a smile: "What's the secret? Is it 'if you want to practice magic, you must first commit suicide'?"
Qiao Rui and Han Xu also lowered their heads, trying not to let others see their expressions.
Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes and did not reply.
His thoughts were spinning, but at the speed of Bai Xiaowen's thinking, the outside world only lasted 0.1 seconds.
After asking about it in Guzhen, Bai Xiaowen paused briefly and then said: "My father didn't say any tricks or mental methods. But..."
"But what?" Gu Zhen asked in surprise.
Bai Xiaowen said: "My father once mentioned that the original ancestral land of the Bai family was in Yanshan. Later, after the rise of Blood God Palace, in order to avoid the demon, the family fled and moved to Baijiazhuang in the west of Luanzhou, but the tombs of generations of ancestors
Still staying here. Our ancestors also said that if the Blood God Palace falls in the future, we must return to our ancestors’ mausoleum to retrieve an important thing..."
"What is it?" Gu Zhen asked.
Bai Xiaowen hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "My late father didn't mention it."
Changsun Ming on the side shook his head and said: "Junior Brother Gu, since it is the secret of the Bai family, it is better for us not to inquire."
Gu Zhen nodded quickly and said: "Senior Brother Changsun is talking about Mr. Bai, he is an old man."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said nothing, looking a little worried.
After traveling no more than ten miles, Bai Xiaowen took the initiative to find Changsun Ming and said goodbye.
Wu Ang said with some surprise: "Mr. Bai, aren't you eager to avenge your family? Now that the boundary of Ten Thousand Snakes Valley has passed, and the Blood God Peak is in front of you, aren't you... retreating from the battle?"
Bai Xiaowen said in a low voice: "With Bai's ability at this time, I am really not sure whether I can get revenge. I remember my father's teachings. There are three types of unfilial piety, and having no heirs is the worst. You must first marry a wife and have children for the Bai family, so that the blood line can be continued.
After that, practice martial arts diligently and take revenge..."
The words that seemed to be an excuse came out of his mouth, and he immediately attracted a lot of contemptuous looks.
In the moral tradition of ancient China, filial piety is very important. Zhang Juzheng, a famous minister and prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, aroused criticism from both the government and the public because he did not return to his hometown to abide by his dead father. Even his students wrote a letter of impeachment.
Under the premise of governing the country with filial piety, blood revenge is a matter of course.
"Book of Rites" says: "Father's hatred cannot be shared with us."
Zilu died in the hands of the Wei people. Zilu's son wanted to take revenge and came to ask Confucius. Confucius directly replied with two words: "Okay!" In Chinese, it means go, and the trendy one means gogogo, which shows.
Even the laws of the previous dynasties were lenient towards blood-related avengers. Even in the Republic of China era, "heroine" Shi Jianqiao avenged her father and assassinated the warlord Sun Chuanfang, and was eventually pardoned by the Republic of China government.
The world of ancient China emphasized gratification and grudges, and elevated "blood revenge" to a level of obligation. If someone dared not avenge his father, he was unfilial and would be spurned by other martial arts comrades.
Bai Xiaowen's behavior, in the eyes of the masters of the three sects, was undoubtedly that he was cherishing his life and did not dare to seek revenge on Ying Jianfan.
However, many people thought that Bai Xiaowen had saved their lives by repelling the poisonous Guanyin, so they didn't say much and just kept their feelings of contempt and contempt in their hearts.
Changsun Ming chuckled and said, "Young Master Bai's words are quite wise. Don't worry, you can go back. Our righteous martial arts swordsmen will definitely be able to annihilate the Blood God Palace in one fell swoop and take off the demon head of Ying Jianfan."
Level, I would like to express my condolences to Duke Han Jiang’s spirit in heaven.”
After Bai Xiaowen thanked him, he left with the remaining three members of the White Phoenix team and parted ways with the masters of the three sects.
Halfway through, Li Shuyi couldn't help but ask:
"Xiaowen, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd? Why do you have to leave directly? Our main mission is to besiege the Blood God Palace. If we leave now, won't the main mission fail?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "There's no rush."
"Then what you said before about the Bai family's ancestral land in Yanshan is true or false?" Qiao Rui asked.
Bai Xiaowen said: "The ancestral land is real, but I made up the last sentence."
"In other words, Bai Hanjiang didn't ask you to take anything important?" Qiao Rui frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly said, "Are you setting up a trap?"
"Yes." Bai Xiaowen smiled. He then explained the reasons for doing this and the purpose of the layout to his three teammates one by one.
Finally, Bai Xiaowen said: "If we want to succeed in this game, we need to work separately." He then made a series of arrangements.
…
dusk.
Taking advantage of the setting sun, Bai Xiaowen came to a valley overgrown with grass alone. This was already the hinterland of the Blood God Palace, and all intersections were usually tightly guarded. However, now that the war was fierce and the servants of the Blood God Palace gathered here.
Blood God Peak’s control over other areas is much weaker.
Bai Xiaowen climbed up the stone steps and saw a surprisingly clear cold pool in front of him. He compared it with the memory fragments and quickly confirmed that he was looking in the right direction, and let out a sigh of relief.
Turn right on the side of the cold pool. The vines hanging down the mountain wall in front were almost airtight. Bai Xiaowen groped one by one and finally found a cave covered by vines. He pushed aside the vines and ducked in.
This cave has been deserted for a long time and has long since become a paradise for snakes, insects, rats, and ants. A musty smell lingers in the cave. However, deep in the cave, you can still see altar tables and collapsed candlesticks, but the portraits hanging on the rock walls are still there.
It has long been mottled.
"According to memory, this is the ancestral home of the Bai family of Duanshui Villa, and the ancestors of past generations are worshiped here."
Bai Xiaowen glanced back, then lowered his head, knelt down and saluted, completing the etiquette. Then, he came to the side of the altar table, took off the curly yellow mottled portrait, rolled it up, and put it away.
This portrait is actually of no use, and the areas that are infested by moths turn into powder when touched, and are not even considered debris.
It took Bai Xiaowen about half an hour to finish all this. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and pushed aside the vines to leave.
"Counting the time, it should be here soon." Bai Xiaowen thought silently.
The sound of rushing water came from the cold pool ahead, and Bai Xiaowen was startled when he heard it.
"Why are there people in this barren mountain?"
Bai Xiaowen held his breath and walked forward quietly. Under the cover of the trees, he vaguely saw a woman taking a bath in the cold pool.
Bai Xiaowen's eyesight was surprisingly good and he could see the woman's appearance. After seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked: "This woman is so beautiful? But her temperament is so good."
Under the setting sun at dusk, the beauty's face was dull. She clearly had a face that confounded all living beings, but she had a temperament that could not be blasphemed. When her beautiful eyes were looking forward, she would occasionally reveal a glimpse of charm, such a contradictory temperament.
It appears to be extremely harmonious on her body.
The beauty's skin is like creamy white jade. She gently lifts up the pool water and wipes her jade arms. Her movements will make any man's blood rush.
"See no evil..."
Bai Xiaowen muttered silently, turned his head with great willpower, and planned to leave quietly.
"Just leave like that?"
An indescribably clear voice sounded.
Bai Xiaowen was shocked and thought to himself: "This woman's voice is so nice. So she has discovered me? Why doesn't she feel shy or flustered at all?"
Bai Xiaowen turned slightly sideways and observed the etiquette: "I don't dare to disturb the girl's bathing. Bai will take my leave."
"Turn around." The woman's voice spoke again, and at the same time, the sound of splashing water ripples was heard.
Bai Xiaowen thought that the woman had already gotten out of the water and dressed, and wanted to argue with him. After all, he was in the wrong and couldn't just turn around and leave. In addition, in Bai Xiaowen's heart, there was a vague desire to talk to this woman more. This
Even Bai Xiaowen himself didn't notice it at all.
When he turned around, Bai Xiaowen almost dropped his jaw. It turned out that the woman had just stepped out of the cold pool, was completely naked, and was slowly wiping the water droplets on her body.
