Chapter 12 Don't Be Linghu Chong

"Crack!"

The sword in Ye Xiu's hand broke.

When the sword was used to pierce the stone wall, the sword body suffered some damage. After practicing sword skills with the sword for a while, the sword in Ye Xiu's hand really broke.

Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Ye Xiu didn't think there was anything special about it. After all, it was just an ordinary Huashan standard long sword.

There are many similar Huashan Sect's standard long swords next to the skeletons in the cave. However, these swords are not precious swords after all. After being corroded by time, they have become not very good. But they can be used as a makeshift weapon.

"So what should we do with this cave next? Should we tell Master's Wife?" Ye Xiu pondered.

In fact, the value of this cave to Ye Xiu is just that it allows him to learn the Huashan School's swordsmanship, including some lost ones, and to dabble in some swordsmanship from the other four mountains. However, due to the lack of methods for circulating internal energy and exerting force, he can only learn some sword moves in vain.

To Ye Xiu, this is all it is worth, but to Huashan Sect, this thing means a lot.

In addition, although Ye Xiu always called Yue Buqun "Old Yue" in his diary, and seemed to have no respect for Yue Buqun at all - OK, Ye Xiu did lack some respect for Yue Buqun. But for Ning Zhongze, Ye Xiu was still grateful.

Because Ning Zhongze is a really good person, and he treats the disciples of Huashan Sect very attentively. Just because of Ning Zhongze, Ye Xiu felt that he could not hide these things from her.

“I’ll tell my master’s wife this next time I see her.” Ye Xiu didn’t want to be Linghu Chong, so he made this decision.

Just after Ye Xiu made this decision, he heard someone calling him outside.

"Xiu'er, it's time to eat."

It was Ning Zhongze's voice. Ye Xiu didn't expect that the person who brought him food was Ning Zhongze.

There is nothing in this place called Siguo Cliff, and naturally there is no place to cook, so three meals a day can only be delivered to the Cliff by other people. However, Ye Xiu did not expect that the person who delivered the meals was Ning Zhongze.

"What a coincidence." Ye Xiu shrugged and walked out.

When Ye Xiu came out of the cave, he saw Ning Zhongze standing outside the cave with a smiling face and a basket of vegetables in his hand.

After all, the cave is where Ye Xiu lives, and it is also a private space. Ning Zhongze, as a woman, did not go in, but chose to leave Ye Xiu a private space for a boy.

"Xiu'er, I've prepared some meat for you. Your living conditions here are not good, so I'll make the food better for you."

"Thank you, Master's wife. But you came at the right time. I discovered some secrets here." Ye Xiu said to Ning Zhongze.

When Ning Zhongze heard Ye Xiu's words, he was stunned for a moment, but he felt happy in his heart.

On the one hand, Ning Zhongze knew that the secret Ye Xiu mentioned was the Five Mountains Sword Technique, and on the other hand, Ye Xiu did not hide these secrets from him, that is, Ye Xiu still supported Huashan Sect in his heart. It was not like what Linghu Chong wrote in his diary, who discovered the Five Mountains Sword Technique but chose to conceal it instead of telling his master and mistress.

"Master's Wife, I was practicing sword in a cave before, and I accidentally pierced through the stone wall. I discovered that there was another cave inside the cave. Then, I found that inside - uh, Master's Wife, you should go in and see for yourself." Ye Xiu took Ning Zhongze in and explained.

Ning Zhongze didn't care about what Ye Xiu said about practicing sword in the cave. Even though the excuse was a bit lame, she automatically ignored it.

Ning Zhongze followed Ye Xiu into the cave. She saw the skeleton on the ground and thought that this should be one of the ten elders of the Demon Cult mentioned in Ye Xiu's diary.

At the same time, Ning Zhongze also suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she had searched the Cliff of Repentance several times but still couldn't find it. It turned out to be a cave within a cave, and it was in this situation.

After entering the cave, Ning Zhongze looked at the skeletons scattered on the ground under the light of the torches. A quick look revealed that there were about five or six hundred of them. She had not expected that there were so many people here besides the ten great elders of the Demon Sect. And looking at the weapons left by the skeletons on the ground, there were standard long swords from the Huashan Sect, as well as those from the Hengshan Sect, the Hengshan Sect, the Songshan Sect, and even the Taishan Sect. Obviously, these were all people from the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

"Master's wife, here." Ye Xiu pointed at the stone wall and said.

Ning Zhongze looked in the direction where Ye Xiu pointed his finger.

"Zhang Chengyun and Zhang Chengfeng have completely broken the Huashan sword techniques. This--" Ning Zhongze looked at the Huashan sword techniques engraved on the stone wall, and then at the moves to break the Huashan sword moves.

"Master's Wife, don't you think these people are funny? They actually said they could break all the Huashan swordsmanship. Are my Huashan swordsmanship and Master's swordsmanship on the same level? If they can break my swordsmanship, can they break Master's swordsmanship? What's more, we in Huashan emphasize controlling the sword with Qi. When the internal strength is strong, even flying flowers and falling leaves can be used as swords. These people are quite funny." Ye Xiu didn't know whether Ning Zhongze would be unable to accept the fact that the Huashan swordsmanship was broken, or even go crazy like Linghu Chong, so he just casually comforted him.

"Well, Xiu'er, what you said is right. The swordsmanship of our Huashan School emphasizes controlling the sword with Qi. Once the internal strength is strong, even ordinary moves will have extremely strong power. Moreover, these so-called moves that can break the Huashan swordsmanship are all single moves, and they are not systematic at all. As long as we change our swordsmanship, their so-called breaking moves will become ineffective." Ning Zhongze himself is also a martial arts master, much stronger than Linghu Chong.

Although Ning Zhongze's martial arts is slightly weaker than Yue Buqun's, it is because Ning Zhongze is nearly ten years younger than Yue Buqun and has not yet practiced the Zixia magic skill.

From this we can see that Ning Zhongze's talent may actually be better than Yue Buqun's.

With this kind of strength and aptitude, it is easy to see through the so-called Zhang Chengyun and Zhang Chengfeng who have completely broken the Huashan swordsmanship.

Of course, Ye Xiu’s reminder also played a significant role.

"Xiu'er, you stay here first. I'll get some paper and pen to write all this down." Ning Zhongze instructed Ye Xiu.

"Okay, Master."

Ning Zhongze went down the mountain, and Ye Xiu continued to stay in the cave, memorizing the sword techniques in the cave, and then continued to practice the Huashan School's sword techniques, including the lost sword techniques.

With Ye Xiu's current strength and swordsmanship foundation, practicing these swordsmanship is not difficult at all.

When Ning Zhongze came back with paper and pen, Ye Xiu had already learned the Huashan School's swordsmanship from beginning to end.

"Xiu'er, after I have memorized all these sword techniques, you can scratch out these on the stone wall." Ning Zhongze said to Ye Xiu.

"Okay, Madam Master." Ye Xiu nodded, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is Linghu Chong's adventure gone just like that?

Chapter 13 Huashan Swordsmanship

"I didn't expect that Master's Wife would suddenly ask me to go to the Cliff of Repentance. Although I don't quite understand why Master's Wife would ask me to go to the Cliff of Repentance, it just so happens that I was looking for an opportunity to go to the Cliff anyway. It's like someone offering me a pillow when I feel sleepy."

"This Siguo Cliff is indeed a bit desolate. No wonder it is regarded as a place of punishment. Then I saw the three characters Feng Qingyang carved on the stone. The characters look pretty good, but they don't reveal any sword skills from the words left by the so-called peerless masters in novels. Hmm, it should be that Feng Qingyang's strength is not strong enough."

"But we finally found the Five Mountains Sword Technique. The ten great elders of the Demon Cult were trapped in the belly of the mountain, and they all cursed the Five Mountains Sword Sect for being despicable and shameless. Shouldn't you reflect on yourself? The people of the Demon Cult were tricked by the righteous people. Doesn't this show that you are not smart enough, not cunning enough, not crafty enough, and not insidious enough? With this kind of brain, you are still the ten great elders of the Demon Cult - well, it may be because your brain is not smart enough, so you are the Demon Cult."

"Look at Cihang Jingzhai, they often choose emperors on behalf of heaven, and change dynasties whenever there is something wrong. They directly overthrow the disobedient emperor and replace him with someone close to them. This kind of thing is much more powerful and cruel than the so-called evil sect. Aren't they still a famous and upright sect, and even the leader of the righteous path?"

"So this demon cult is really a cult. They are just stupid and that's why they are labeled as such."

"After being trapped, the ten elders of the Demon Sect did not think of any way to escape, but instead cursed the Five Mountains Sword Sect for being despicable and shameless. Then they racked their brains to think of how to break the sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Only one of them, the Hercules Demon Fan Song, still had the will to survive. He dug a hole in the mountain, which was only 40 centimeters away from escaping, but he died of exhaustion at this moment. If the other nine elders had followed the Hercules Demon Fan Song to dig the hole, wouldn't they have escaped long ago?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about these idiots. What they did is just a bargain for me in the end."

"It's a pity that what they left on the stone wall are only simple sword techniques, without the routes for the circulation of internal force and the way to exert force, so they are just simple sword techniques. Except for the Huashan School's sword techniques, I can slowly try and master them based on the sword techniques I have learned. The sword techniques of the other four schools are just empty sword techniques, which are not very useful."

"And then there are those moves to break the sword techniques. Each one is very strange and totally out of the ordinary. But it can help broaden your mind and increase your understanding of sword techniques."

"After writing down all the sword techniques and the moves to break them, Master's Wife asked me to cross out all the sword techniques on the stone wall. Will Linghu Chong still be able to have this adventure?"

"Forget it. I don't want to worry about it. After all, if Linghu Chong stays in Huashan, he can learn from Master's Wife or Old Yue. It's a pity that he is such a person - forget it, let's not talk about it."

"It's a pity that I have only got the Five Mountains Sword Technique, and I haven't got a glimpse of the peerless sword technique like the Dugu Nine Swords. In the next period of time, I will practice swordsmanship more in the Cliff of Regret. Isn't it that swordsmanship is flexible and not rigid, and different moves can be disassembled and combined at will? After writing a diary for two days, I will be able to do it almost. Then I will see if you will come out to teach me swordsmanship. I hope Feng Qingyang, you don't stubbornly recognize Linghu Chong."

After closing the diary, Ye Xiu's internal strength increased by one month's strength again. Then, Ye Xiu quickly became proficient in the Huashan School swordsmanship that he had just learned in the cave. He also quickly understood and mastered the way of internal force circulation and the way of sending and receiving strength, which originally required careful study. In a short moment, Ye Xiu had already mastered the Huashan School swordsmanship.

This kind of reward surprised Ye Xiu.

After all, if there was no reward for writing a diary, Ye Xiu might not be able to figure out all the internal force circulation and force sending and receiving methods of Huashan School's swordsmanship even in a month if he relied solely on himself.

Yangwu Sword Technique, Xiyi Sword Technique, Deadly Chain Three Immortal Swords, Nineteen Styles of Jade Maiden Sword, and Lady Sword Technique. These five sword techniques that Ye Xiu learned from the stone wall, he has now mastered them.

Among them, Yue Buqun is best at Yangwu Swordsmanship. Lady Swordsmanship is Ning Zhongze's unique skill. The Deadly Chain Three Immortal Swordsmanship is the unique skill of the Sword Sect. Although Huashan Sect still has this swordsmanship, it has lost a lot of its essence and has become a useless swordsmanship.

In fact, it is not just the Deadly Chain Three Immortal Swords. The existing swordsmanship in Huashan actually has many omissions compared to before. Some sword moves have long been lost, and the power of the swordsmanship has also been greatly reduced. This is also the case with the Yangwu swordsmanship that Yue Buqun is best at.

Among these five sword techniques, Yangwu Sword Technique, Xiyi Sword Technique and Lady Sword Technique are at the same level and belong to the advanced sword techniques currently available in Huashan Sect. The Nineteen Styles of Jade Maiden Sword and the Deadly Chain Three Immortal Swords are more powerful than the other three. In fact, the Nineteen Styles of Jade Maiden Sword is even more powerful than the Deadly Chain Three Immortal Swords.

However, the 19 styles of the Jade Maiden Sword were too complicated, and those who were proficient in it could use it to restrain any sword technique, which was quite similar to the Three Points of Dugu's Nine Swords. However, although this sword technique was profound, it was also relatively the most difficult to practice and master.

Even Ning Zhongze could only master the Nineteen Styles of Jade Maiden Sword proficiently, because this sword technique was too difficult to practice, so Ning Zhongze turned to practice the Lady Sword Technique, and practiced the Lady Sword Technique to an extremely high level, which became a unique skill she mastered.

But no matter what, now, Ye Xiu not only has Huashan's basic swordsmanship, but also has mastered these five powerful advanced swordsmanship.

It can be said that apart from his lack of internal strength and lightness skills, Ye Xiu's mastery of sword techniques alone has surpassed Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan Sect.

Pulling out the long sword that he had replaced from Huashan's inventory, Ye Xiu began to practice swordsmanship.

He has already mastered the basic sword techniques for beginners at Huashan. After practicing it in two or three moves, he turned the sword tip and tested the Xiyi sword technique. The Xiyi sword technique has the meaning of being as loud as a faint sound. The moves are linked together and the sword speed is as fast as lightning. It can take people's lives silently. When he practices to a high level, the sword moves can be used without being seen or heard.

Of course, with Ye Xiu's entry-level swordsmanship, the Xiyi swordsmanship he used certainly did not have such power. It can only be said that Ye Xiu's swordsmanship, at most, was just that his moves were flawless, and the circulation of his internal force and strength was flawless, and that was all.

After the Xiyi Sword Technique comes the Yangwu Sword Technique, and then the Deadly Three Immortal Swords. After that, the sword tip turns and the moves become more exquisite. However, although exquisite, they also become complicated. It is the Nineteen Moves of the Jade Girl Sword practiced by the female disciples of Huashan Sect, and it ends with the Lady Sword Technique.

After practicing these sword techniques, Ye Xiu was already sweating and his breathing became rapid, but his internal energy and physical strength were almost exhausted.

Chapter 14 Ning Zhongze's Plan

"Nine Swords of Dugu?" Ning Zhongze muttered to himself, his eyes moving from the diary to the compiled volume of the Five Mountains Sword Sect's sword techniques next to it.

The sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, although the sword techniques of the other four Mountains only allowed her to familiarize herself with the sword moves, they also increased the foundation of the Huashan Sect. Among them, the Huashan Sect's sword techniques could directly enhance the strength of the Huashan Sect.

However, although the Huashan Sect's strength will be enhanced to a certain extent, it is still not enough. At least now, even if the Huashan Sect obtains the Five Mountains Sword Technique, it still seems powerless in the face of the threat from the Songshan Sect.

But if it is the Dugu Nine Swords, if the Dugu Nine Swords can be obtained, then the threat from the Songshan Sect can be greatly reduced. Even if the uncle Feng Qingyang can stand up at this time, the Songshan Sect and the Huashan Sect will be completely free of pressure.

"Chong'er--" Ning Zhongze thought of the diary that mentioned more than once that Feng Qingyang taught Linghu Chong the Dugu Nine Swords.

In other words, if the Huashan Sect wants to obtain the Dugu Nine Swords, it must start with Linghu Chong.

But, after Linghu Chong learns the Dugu Nine Swords, will he hand it over to the Huashan Sect?

I think it shouldn't happen. If Linghu Chong had handed over the Dugu Nine Swords to the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun wouldn't have castrated himself to practice sword skills, and the Huashan Sect wouldn't have suffered many deaths and injuries, leaving only a few useless members.

"Chong'er, what do you want your master's wife to do?" Ning Zhongze murmured to himself, the expression on his face becoming more bitter.

Ning Zhongze was willing to believe Linghu Chong, and she didn't want to doubt him, but it was written in her diary.

The contents of the diary were almost all true, such as the Five Mountains Sword Technique left by the ten great elders of the Demon Sect. So if nothing unexpected happened, Linghu Chong would really be like what was written in the diary.

Ning Zhongze didn't dare to gamble, even though Ning Zhongze had great trust in Linghu Chong at the beginning. However, the constant mention of Linghu Chong's shortcomings in the diary over the past few days gradually had a brainwashing function, which planted the seed that Linghu Chong could not be trusted in Ning Zhongze's heart.

Well, this is a bit like when a woman’s best friends keep saying bad things about her husband, and then the woman will really believe that her husband is not good to her, and then divorce her husband.

In short, Ye Xiu's diary describes how terrible and incompetent Linghu Chong is. People who read the diary for a long time will develop an image of Linghu Chong as terrible and incompetent in their hearts.

“However, Xiu’er’s situation is special, and he is getting stronger every day. So as long as Xiu’er treats Huashan Sect sincerely, he should be able to help Huashan Sect.” Ning Zhongze began to regard Ye Xiu as the savior of Huashan Sect.

"Shan'er seems to have a certain affection for Ye Xiu, and they are both eighteen years old, which is just the right age. Let Xiu'er marry Shan'er and let Xiu'er be the next leader of Huashan Sect. If Huashan Sect belongs to him, then he should protect Huashan Sect." Ning Zhongze was thinking in his mind.

The more Ning Zhongze thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was a good one. On the one hand, Ye Xiu had a magical diary that could help him become stronger quickly. On the other hand, although Ye Xiu did not respect Yue Buqun very much, after obtaining the Five Mountains Sword Technique, he was able to give it to him as soon as possible. This was enough to show that Ye Xiu was also a man who valued friendship and loyalty.

In addition, Ye Xiu is also very good-looking. He is the most handsome disciple of Huashan Sect and is excellent in all aspects. It is undoubtedly a very good choice to hand Yue Lingshan over to Ye Xiu.

"Ah - sneeze -"

On the cliff of reflection, Ye Xiu couldn't help but sneeze loudly and rubbed his nose: "What's wrong? Do you have a cold? No, I don't feel anything wrong with my body, so is someone thinking about me or scolding me?"

……

“The Demon Cult is called the Demon Cult because it has no brains?” Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon Divine Cult, could not help but frown when he saw the words in the diary. Then he saw the Cihang Jingzhai written by Ye Xiu and was surprised.

"Cihang Jingzhai, changing the dynasty, choosing the emperor on behalf of God, replacing the emperor with someone close to himself, the leader of the righteous path!" Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful.

There is indeed some reason why their cult is called the Demonic Cult.

After all, many people in the Demon Cult were not good people, and they did a lot of things like burning, killing and looting. There was also the Three Corpses Brain Pill that controlled the disciples of the Demon Cult. This kind of evil thing was not something that a famous and upright sect should have.

From these aspects alone, it is normal for the Demon Cult to be called the Demon Cult.

However, the fact that the Demonic Cult is not clean does not mean that the famous and upright sects are good.

For example, among the Five Mountains Sword Sects, apart from the Huashan Sect, which was almost wiped out and only a few people were left, there is also the Hengshan Sect, which does not practice martial arts much and pays more attention to Buddhist scriptures. (Regardless of other novels, in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer alone, the Hengshan Sect is indeed a good one.)

Among the remaining three major sects, each of them has some dirty tricks to a greater or lesser extent.

The Songshan Sect was the worst, with a group of people whose names would not be revealed, doing all kinds of bad things. There were even many bandits, who were just Songshan Sect members in a different skin.

Shaolin Temple is even more outrageous. Almost all the land within the Shaolin Temple is Shaolin Temple's property. At the same time, every year, a large number of so-called Shaolin Temple traitors escape from Shaolin Temple and become bandits, making a living by robbing. How could such a prestigious Shaolin Temple have so many traitors? And they could all escape from Shaolin Temple? And then Shaolin Temple couldn't even kill those traitors, and let them go unpunished?

Dongfang Bubai had never thought about this before. Or rather, Dongfang Bubai knew this information, but she didn't take it too seriously, and she even knew that those were all hidden tricks of Shaolin Temple, but she didn't think about why the evil sect was the evil sect and the famous sect was the famous sect.

Dongfang Bubai simply felt that all the famous and upright sects were extremely hypocritical.

But now I think about it, why do they all do bad things? Their Sun Moon Sect is a demon sect, while sects like Shaolin and Songshan are famous and upright sects.

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but look at what was written in the diary again.

"Because I'm not smart enough, because I don't have brains!"

There are bad people in the Sun Moon Sect who do bad things, but how can the number of people killed by the bad things they do be compared to the number of people killed by overthrowing a country? It should be said that the difference is a million miles. But the Sun Moon Sect is the evil sect that everyone wants to fight against. And guys like Cihang Jingzhai who started the war have become the leaders of the righteous path respected by everyone.

Just thinking about the hypocritical practices of the famous and upright sects, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"The reason why the Demon Cult is called the Demon Cult is simply because it is not hypocritical enough! It is brainless!"
