"Exorcism is not a sword technique, but a prison for the heart. Lin Yuantu recorded this technique in his cassock, not to teach, but to set up a cage. Practitioners see the secret book as if they were looking at a mirror, reflecting their own greed, anger, and ignorance. Even if they complete the technique, it is just like casting an iron chain into gold, and they are still birds in a cage."

When Lin Zhennan heard this, he showed an expression of shock and inexplicable fear on his face: "You...what do you mean by this?"

Yi Huawei laughed and said calmly:
"Yin pole produces evil, yang pole turns to emptiness; the sword moves in an unconventional way, the inner demon is the pivot, abandon the form to pursue the meaning, cut off delusion and retain the truth; if one thought is not extinguished, all methods can ward off evil.

The so-called negative pole produces evil, and positive pole turns to emptiness, refers to the foundation of swordsmanship as "reverse training of qi and blood", which uses the method of self-harm to stimulate the human body's yin meridians, so that the internal force invades the body like frost, giving rise to evil spirits. When the evil spirit is full, it is necessary to lead the lesser yang qi to become a virtual fire, and transform the yin poison into sword intent. However, if the yang qi is not stored in the dantian, it will only be "firewood" that will be burned out and disappear, so the practitioner will eventually suffer from both qi and blood deficiency. "

Lin Zhennan listened attentively, the expression on his face kept changing with Yi Huawei's words, and his heart was filled with shock. He didn't know who this person in front of him was and how he knew so much about the Sword of Exorcism.

Could it be that he also knows the sword technique to ward off evil spirits?
A year later, Lin Zhennan couldn't help but look down at Yi Huawei.

"If you want to control evil power, you must first become "firewood" - the stronger the power, the faster the life will decay."

Seeing Lin Zhennan's strange look, Yi Huawei frowned and continued in a hoarse voice:
"The sword moves in an unconventional way, with the inner demon as the pivot, and all the moves are against common sense. Practitioners need to be guided by obsession and concentrate their minds on the "three inches of the sword tip". Over time, the mind is gradually eroded by the evil spirit, and falls into a mad state of "no pain and no fear".

As the motto says, "Holding the sword is like holding an enemy, the sword will not be put away until the enemy is gone; there is no life or death in the eyes, and the blade has spring and autumn." Practitioners must hypnotize themselves and regard every sword as an "opportunity for revenge" until they completely lose empathy.

"Discarding form to seek intention, cutting off delusion and retaining truth" is similar to Dugu Nine Swords. The Exorcist Sword Technique has no fixed moves and is driven only by "intention". For example, the "Ghost Attached to the Form" move is actually a random combination of seven footworks and three stabbing methods, with scattered forms but concentrated spirits.

The reason why the Exorcist Sword Technique is considered an evil technique is that if one wants to master this technique, one must sever the ties of the secular world, otherwise when the internal force backfires, the meridians will collapse due to the vacillation of the mind. Exorcism does not mean "exorcising evil", but "controlling evil with evil" - using more extreme obsessions to suppress the backlash of the technique is like drinking poison to quench thirst.

"If the obsession disappears, the spirit will be scattered; if the obsession is crazy, the flesh and blood will wither. "... Lin Biaotou, it is a blessing that you do not practice this sword technique. "

With a light chuckle, Yi Huawei waved his hand lightly, and the long sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, and then cut off the chains on Lin Zhennan and his wife.

"what!"

The couple fell to the ground at the same time. They felt pain all over their bodies and were unable to get up for a while.

"Alright!"

After the two men had adjusted their breathing and stood up, Yi Huawei suddenly picked up a long sword on the ground and threw it to Lin Zhennan. The moment the soft sword was in his hand, Lin Zhennan instinctively used the ancestral "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" to start, but saw Yi Huawei's fingers as a sword piercing his forehead.

Lin Kunnan was horrified. The trajectory of this finger was exactly the same as the "meteor falling to the ground" recorded in the sword manual, but it was more than five times faster. A strong wind came, and Lin Zhennan could not help but close his eyes and wait for death.

When the sword tip was half an inch away from the throat, Yi Huawei's fingertips had already touched Lin Zhennan's pulse point.

"The moves are correct, but what is lacking is the method of circulating the Qi and meridians."

Yi Huawei shot out three golden needles from his sleeves and pierced Lin Zhennan's Guanyuan, Qugu, and Zhongji acupoints respectively, and shouted: "Now circulate the small circulation."

"what?!"

Lin Zhennan came back to his senses and adjusted his breathing as instructed. Suddenly, a cold current surged from his Dantian. The blocked Ren Meridian seemed to be pierced by an ice cone, and the true energy instantly penetrated the perineum.

"This is the Exorcism Sword Technique. The Qi flows through the Yin Wei Meridian, with the Xue Hai acupoint as the pivot. The Qi can be sensed before the enemy moves. It seems that you have never learned this."

Yi Huawei smiled gently:
"In his later years, Lin Yuantu reduced the original 72 sword techniques to 36, intentionally leaving blank spaces to lure the enemy into misjudgment. The "Golden Needle to Cross the Tribulation" move looks like it's piercing straight between the eyebrows, but in fact the sword has a hidden hook that can be pulled back to cut the enemy's throat."

"Cough cough cough~~"

Mrs. Lin suddenly coughed up blood, and the blood amber on her shoulder injury began to turn black. Yi Huawei turned his palm and pressed on her Lingtai acupoint, forcing out three ox-hair needles with his internal force.

He frowned and looked at Lin Zhennan: "Madam, you have been hit by Yu Canghai's heart-destroying palm. The Yin energy has entered the lung meridian. You need to use pure Yang internal energy to clear it within two hours. Otherwise, no medicine can cure it, even the gods can't save her."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhennan knelt on his knees with a plop, clasped his hands together, and his eyes were full of anxiety and earnestness: "Senior, please save my wife! She has been with me for half her life and has gone through many hardships. Now she has suffered such a disaster. I really can't bear to see her suffer. As long as you can save her, Lin is willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay your great kindness!"

As he spoke, he slammed his forehead heavily on the ground, making a dull sound.

Yi Huawei nodded slightly, his expression calm but revealing an unquestionable confidence: "Get up, Lin Biaotou. Now that I have asked, I will definitely do my best."

After saying that, he slowly walked to the side of Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin's face was as pale as paper, her breath was weak, and every breath was accompanied by painful convulsions.

Yi Huawei took a deep breath, slowly raised his hands, and a faint purple halo appeared in his palms. He gently pressed his palms on the Lingtai acupoint on Mrs. Lin's back, and the purple qi flowed slowly into Mrs. Lin's body like a trickle.

At first, Mrs. Lin's body was still trembling slightly, as if she was resisting this external force, but as the Zixia true energy continued to flow in, a stream of black blood suddenly spurted out, the trembling of her body gradually subsided, and the pain on her face gradually eased.

The black blood that Mrs. Lin vomited out twisted like snakes on the ground, and the air was filled with the fishy and sweet smell of rust and ambergris.

Yi Huawei put his fingers together like swords and tapped seven major acupoints on Mrs. Lin's back. He said calmly, "Has Chief Lin ever read the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine - Su Wen?"

Lin Zhennan was shocked. He had never thought that this senior could talk while circulating his internal energy. His skill was really unfathomable. Just as he was about to speak, he saw nine silver needles flying out of Yi Huawei's sleeves. The needles were decorated with blue phoenix patterns, and they were shining with strange purple light under the moonlight. The moment the silver needles entered the body, spider-web-like purple lines suddenly appeared under Mrs. Lin's pale skin.

“Qi Hai is hanging upside down!”

Yi Huawei shouted in a low voice, and pressed Madam Lin's Lingtai acupoint with both palms. Purple mist rose from his body, and a buzzing sound like morning bells and evening drums could be heard in the dungeon.

"Ah~~"

The pain of the meridians being reshaped made Madam Lin scream, and the blood amber on her shoulder exploded. Thirteen black air shot out along the silver needles, corroding honeycomb-like holes on the beams. Yi Huawei's turban suddenly broke open, revealing a half-broken jade hairpin hidden in his waterfall-like black hair.

"Pure Yang is infinite, Kan and Li are fighting each other!"

With the last spell, the human skin mask on Yi Huawei's face peeled off bit by bit in the purple steam. Lin Zhennan looked at the handsome face of a young man and was stunned for a moment. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. The only sounds in the dungeon were Yi Huawei's heavy breathing and Mrs. Lin's occasional cough. After an unknown amount of time, Yi Huawei finally slowly withdrew his hands, took a long breath, and his face was slightly pale. It was obvious that this treatment had consumed a lot of his energy.

Mrs. Lin's complexion had regained some of its rosiness, and her breathing had become much more stable. She slowly opened her eyes, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you for your rescue, benefactor."

"You are Welcome!"

After regulating his internal breath, Yi Huawei slowly stood up and looked at Lin Zhennan: "Captain Lin, to be honest, I am the second disciple of Huashan Sect, and my master is the head of Huashan Sect - 'Gentleman Sword'."

When Lin Zhennan and his wife heard this, their eyes were filled with surprise.

"Huashan Sect... Sect Master Yue?? ...Are you the Jade-faced Swordsman?"

Lin Zhennan murmured to himself: "How could the Five Mountains Sword Sect be so powerful?"

If the disciple is so powerful, then the master must have reached the realm of immortals on earth? And how powerful must Zuo Lengchan, who is slightly better than him, and the Shaolin and Wudang masters be?

No wonder he couldn't even defeat a small sect like Qingcheng.

But Lin Zhennan didn't know that Yi Huawei's martial arts skills were even better than Yue Buqun's, and there were only a few people in the martial arts world who could fight against him without losing.

Yi Huawei didn't know what Lin Zhennan was thinking, so he just nodded slightly and continued, "Before in Hengyang, I met your son Lin Pingzhi. Now, my master has accepted him as his apprentice, and he can be considered my junior brother. So, we are now considered family members."

Lin Zhennan and his wife looked at each other, and a hint of surprise and relief flashed in each other's eyes. Lin Zhennan said excitedly: "Pingzhi is lucky to be taken in by the Huashan Sect. Thank you for taking care of my son."

But then, Lin Zhennan felt a little uneasy. The man in front of him knew so much about the Sword Manual of Exorcism... Could it be that Pingzhi had already given the Sword Manual of Exorcism to Huashan Sect? ?

But that's not right. His understanding of the Exorcism Sword Technique doesn't seem like something that can be developed in a short period of time.

The more Lin Zhennan thought about it, the more confused he became. He looked at Yi Huawei, full of doubts, not knowing where to start.

Yi Huawei smiled gently:
"Captain Lin, you're welcome. I saved you this time because of my relationship with your son, and secondly..."

After a pause, Yi Huawei looked at Lin Zhennan and said with a smile: "I believe Chief Escort Lin also knows that I am quite knowledgeable about this Exorcism Sword Technique. To be honest, this Exorcism Sword Technique is just so-so in my opinion... I don't like beating around the bush, so just tell Chief Escort Lin directly. I can improve the Exorcism Sword Technique and make up for its shortcomings. You can practice it without self-harm, and I can also teach it to you."

At this point, Yi Huawei's eyes became sharp, "But, I have a condition."

"Filling the gap in the Exorcism Sword Technique?"

Lin Zhennan stared at Zhang Lehui with his eyes wide open in disbelief. But looking at that face that was a little immature but had an inexplicable aura of oppression, he took a deep breath and said, "Please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

Yi Huawei took two steps forward, staring into Lin Zhennan's eyes: "I want you to swear to be loyal to me from now on. In the future, no matter what I tell you to do, you must carry it out without reservation."

Lin Zhennan was shocked and his face changed suddenly. This condition was more demanding than he had imagined. Being loyal to a person meant tying one's fate to that of the other person, and from then on, one would be together through life and death, and one might even become a pawn in his hands.

But Yi Huawei not only saved the lives of their family of three, but also had such a profound understanding of the Sword of Exorcism. Perhaps by following him, they could not only revive the Lin family, but also solve the many mysteries of the Sword of Exorcism.

"Okay, I promise you."

After thinking it over again and again, Lin Zhennan, who had been silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "I, Lin Zhennan, swear here that from now on, I will be loyal to Master Yue and will never have second thoughts. If I violate this, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

"The improved Exorcist Sword Technique requires the inner strength of Zixia to guide it."

He casually threw out seven jade nails, forming a seven-star formation. Yi Huawei crossed his sword with his fingers, and blood dripped into the center of the seven-star formation: "On the first and fifteenth day of each month, you need to swallow three grams of cinnabar at noon, and use the Huashan cold jade bed to harmonize yin and yang. If Chief Escort Lin is willing to swear a blood oath..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhennan suddenly grabbed the broken sword on the ground and slashed his palm. At the moment when blood dripped into the center of the formation, Lin Zhennan knelt on the ground, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to Yi Huawei, then stood up, with a serious face, and raised his finger:

"From today on, all 72 branches of the Fuwei Escort Agency will obey your orders... If you violate this oath, the gods will punish you together!... But please don't let my son know what happened today."

"Very good! Chief Escort Lin, I believe you will be glad for your choice today! I will tell you the mantra of the Heart Sutra now, please remember it!"

Yi Huawei's face turned serious and he said:
"Yin and Yang are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Yin alone cannot produce anything, and Yang alone cannot grow. The Exorcist Sword Technique places too much emphasis on "Yin Sha Qi", causing the practitioner's Qi and blood to become unbalanced... Therefore, it is necessary to reverse the flow of the meridians and transform the "Yin Sha Qi" into "Shao Yang Qi", which can not only make up for the defect of the lack of internal breath, but also reconcile the inner demons..."

Lin Zhennan stared at Yi Huawei and wrote down every word he said carefully, without missing a single word.

"I added the 'Reverse the Pulse to the Body' to the original method. Practitioners need to reverse the foot Shaoyin kidney meridian at midnight, guide the Yin evil energy into the 'Yongquan Point', and then guide the Shaoyang energy upward at noon to form a yin-yang cycle. The formula is: 'Yin extreme creates evil, yang extreme creates emptiness; reverse the pulse to the body, qi and blood complement each other...'"

After reciting the formula twice and seeing Lin Zhennan silently memorizing it, Yi Huawei smiled, took out a neatly folded parchment from his arms, and handed it to Lin Zhennan:
"This is the plan I tailored for the Fuwei Escort Agency. In the next three years, you need to open branches of the Fuwei Escort Agency all over the country. Wherever you go, recruit people. Not only should you recruit heroes and warriors from the martial arts world, but you should also pay attention to those orphans with wandering backgrounds, adopt them, and train them. These children will be the new force of the escort agency in the future."

Lin Zhennan took the plan with both hands, his fingers trembling slightly. He unfolded it and saw that it was filled with detailed plans, from the location of branches in various places, to the standards for recruiting personnel, to how to train the newly admitted orphans, all with clear instructions.

Even made time plans.

First year: Consolidate existing branches and improve the efficiency and reputation of the escort agency. At the same time, open new branches in major cities, focusing on the Jiangnan, Central Plains and northern regions. It is planned to expand the number of branches to 120 by the end of the first year.

The second year: further expand the scope to the southwest and northwest regions. At the same time, start recruiting heroes from all walks of life to enrich the talent pool of the escort agency. It is planned to expand the number of branches to 180 by the end of the second year.

The third year: Complete the national layout to ensure the influence of Fuwei Escort Agency in various places. At the same time, integrate the resources of various places to form a unified dispatching and management system. It is planned to expand the number of branches to more than 200 by the end of the third year.

Lin Zhennan raised his head and looked at Yi Huawei, his eyes full of shock. Only then did he truly see the ambition under those deep eyes, no, it was ambition!
