Chapter 685 (1/2)
In the spring of the 36th year of Kunyuan Dynasty, the sword Hall of Jinde Academy in Tongzhou was held in Houtu emperor's Dynasty.
In fact, this is a huge bamboo shed, round and hundreds of steps square. The top cover is like a bamboo hat, which is made of countless bamboo strips that have been cut open. There is no wall around, only one bowl is thick and thin. Three Zhangs high and incredibly thick bamboo will hold up the dome, which makes people feel as if they are in a sparse bamboo forest.
Under the bamboo forest, it is like different areas covered with stones of different colors. In fact, they were monks one by one, but they all sat on the futon neatly. No one spoke or whispered. Everyone was staring at the empty space in the middle of the bamboo grove. Most people have no other expression except for a glimmer of envy in their eyes from time to time in tension.
Most of these monks wore white and gray Taoist robes. But most of them wear Bijia of different colors. Among them, silver white is more common, accounting for about one-third of the whole venue. Red, black, cyan, and yellow are not uncommon, taking up half of the rest. Of course, they are the five most numerous five element sect of Jinde, Huode, shuide, mude and tude.
The rest of them were in a mess, including some disciples from the special hall of the five element sect and many disciples of the lower sect. There is also a group of inner disciples in Cuiyu palace. Most of them were wearing grey Taoist robes, carrying spiritual swords, with Jasper on the hilt, and blue silk ribbons around their waists, and hanging a wooden card of different colors with the word ”Cuiyu Palace” on it.
At this time, there was a cold light and sword spirit on the square open space about 50 paces in the middle. A friar in silver and white waistcoat is fighting with a nun in a black skirt. You are inseparable from me.
The man with silver vest is the disciple of Feijian hall in Jinde Academy. Although it is called ”flying sword hall”, the swords of these two people are always tightly in their hands, and there is no ”flying sword” to hand. Even for the disciples of Feijian Hall of wuxingzong, there are not many disciples who can really resist the sword with their heart. Among the more than 300 disciples, less than 100 can kill people by flying swords at will.
Most of the five elements sect are Dharma practitioners. The characteristic of Dharma practice is to emphasize the external Dharma and neglect the internal cultivation. Unlike Qi cultivation, which starts from practicing the true Qi in one's own body, Dharma cultivation is to comprehend external Dharma, manipulate magic weapons, and promote the changes of one's own body with the force of external objects, so as to achieve the goal of ascending the realm.
It's easy for them to control the magic weapon and kill people in the air, starting with the foundation builder. But few people make magic weapons in the shape of swords, and then kill people in the air and pretend to be flying swords. Because the magic weapon depends on the power of the magic weapon to kill people, not the sword technique. It's like an arrow. Although the arrow can kill people in the air, it is not a flying sword with swordsmanship.
What the disciples of Feijian hall really practice is sword technique. Although the flying sword is not exactly the same as holding the sword in the hand, Keng does not care about it at all. As long as the sword technique is practiced to the extreme, people and swords are interlinked, and the sword spirit will be produced. At that time, the sword can naturally fly in the air. Otherwise, even with the evasion technique, it would be useless to force the sword.
The male disciple on the field, named Kong Yu, was a disciple of the five element sect of Feijian hall. Different from most Yao men in Yushulinfeng, he has a rather rough appearance, a big body, a bold face, sharp lines, a pair of thick eyebrows like a knife, angry eyes round stare. A bright long sword in his hand, with grooves on the sword, extending from the frame to the tip of the sword, bright red, as if filled with blood. This sword is named Xuehong.
Although he was an inner disciple of Chen ang, the leader of Feijian hall, he was not handed down by master Chen himself. In fact, half of the disciples of Feijian hall are under the master Chen. But most of them are ordinary students who are taught by senior brothers and sisters. The only way to become master Chen's personal disciple is to win the first prize in the ”flying sword hall discussion meeting” held once every five years.
The sword club was originally set up for Chen ang, the master of swordsmanship. But gradually, it became a swordsmanship contest every five years in the five elements sect. No matter whether it is a disciple of Feijian hall or even a descendant of Wuxing sect, anyone who is an inner disciple can participate. In pairs, the loser will be eliminated, and the winner will be the winner.
The biggest feature of this competition is that it is not allowed to use any skill except sword technique. It is really a simple sword fight. No matter dodge skill, soul skill or any skill other than sword cannot be used in competition. Once used, it will be immediately negative. It is forbidden to use sword Qi or control sword with heart in Feijian hall.
Under such a rule, neither the disciples of other schools nor those of the next sect of the five elements sect are obviously no match for the disciples of Feijian hall. Because the disciples of Feijian hall didn't practice any skills or even true Qi from the beginning. What they can do is to keep refining and practicing their swords. Until one day I was born, I practiced a dead sword and practiced the spirit of the sword.
Other Tangkou and xiazong are good at each other. They can't spend all their energy on swordsmanship. However, swordsmanship is also one of the most important fighting skills of each sect. Even if it's impossible to win the championship, it's a rare opportunity for the disciples to pass the sword moves with the disciples of Feijian hall. Therefore, there were always disciples of the five elements sect outside the Feijian hall, which eventually became a sword competition meeting for the five element sect and all the disciples of the next sect.
