Taiping Inn

Although Zhang Baizhou has a bad temper, he is no longer reckless after experiencing so many things. He has already made up his mind and thought to himself: "This old man is so confident and his breath is as still as a mountain. His realm must be far above mine. If he attacks, I will try my best to resist. I will definitely lose if I defend for a long time. It is better to attack instead of defend and seize the initiative."

Thinking of this, after hearing the old man's words, Zhang Baizhou's long sword on his back has been unsheathed with a "clang" sound and flew into Zhang Baizhou's hand. Zhang Baizhou did not hesitate and stabbed the old man in the chest with a sword. This move is not the unique skill of the Shushan Sword School, but a move that Li Xuandu taught him back then. It comes from the "Wanhua Divine Sword Palm", and the "Wanhua Divine Sword Palm" is derived from the sword method, so it can naturally be used as a sword move. At this time, the sword is stabbed out, the real and the fake are uncertain, and the sword shadows are colorful, making it difficult to tell where to attack.

The old man was Xu Qi. He uttered a soft "huh" and was quite surprised. He did not accept the attack, but stepped aside.

Zhang Baizhou shouted: "Second move." He used the long sword in his hand, which was a unique skill of his sect.

Some people use "one way, one sword, one fort, and one sect" to describe the Shuzhou Jianghu. The "one way" is the Miaozhen Sect, the "one sword" is the Shushan Sword Sect, the "one fort" is the Tang Family Fort, and the "one sect" is the Qingyang Sect.

The Tang family lives in the Tang Family Fort above the White Emperor Mausoleum, and the Qingyang Sect lives in the White Emperor City. Only the Miaozhen Sect and the Shushan Sword Sect live on the mountain, so it is said that there are two mountains in Shuzhou, one is Shushan and the other is Tiancang, and the two are equally famous. The Shushan Sword Sect, which dominates Shushan, is known as the world's largest sect, second only to the twenty-two sects of the two paths of good and evil.

In fact, in terms of strength, the Shushan Sword Sect, which occupies Shushan alone, is not inferior to many sects, and is even slightly stronger than some sects that have been weak for a long time. However, the twenty-two sects of good and evil have been established for more than a thousand years, and at least for hundreds of years. Sects such as Zhengyi Sect, Taiping Sect, and Qingwei Sect originated from the Zhengyi Heavenly Master Sect and Taiping Dao in the past, and have been established for more than 1,500 years. Although they have experienced ups and downs in the past thousand years, their foundation and reputation are recognized by everyone. The later sects such as Xuannv Sect and Pinnv Sect also have a history of more than 800 years. The establishment and fame of each sect are the result of countless talents and countless efforts over thousands of years. The inheritance of a sect is condensed bit by bit and tempered, and it is definitely not a one-day or one-night effort. In comparison, the rise of Shushan Sword Sect in the martial arts world has only happened in the past hundred years. Although it has prospered quickly, its foundation is still not as good as many second-tier sects, not to mention the contemporary major sects such as Zhengyi Sect, Qingwei Sect, Wudao Sect, and Butian Sect.

However, even so, it can be seen that the strong strength of Shushan Sword Sect can rise in more than a hundred years, not inferior to some sects, and naturally has its own unique features.

As a direct disciple of Shushan Sword Sect, Zhang Baizhou naturally has the true teachings of Shushan Sword Sect. Since Shushan Sword Sect is named after the sword, it naturally respects the sword, which is even more than Qingwei Sect. After all, Qingwei Sect still believes that it is inherited from the Taiping Dao lineage and is a Taoist. Li Daoxu still uses the sword because he has one of the only two immortal swords in the world. Like Li Xuandu, he is no longer stuck in things. The Shushan Sword Sect has gone one step further than the Qingwei Sect. It is a pure sword sect that does not respect the Taoist ancestors, saints, or Buddhas. There are seven sword techniques in the sect, all of which are advanced methods, and they are taught in accordance with students' aptitude. After mastering one technique, you can learn the second one. It is said that the founder of the Shushan Sword Sect mastered all seven sword techniques. He was a celestial being without any sect or school. By chance, he entered the realm of immortality, created the seven sword techniques, left behind the Taoist tradition, and thus established the Shushan Sword Sect.

Each of the seven sword techniques has its own advantages and disadvantages.

"Taiyi Sword Technique" has relatively low requirements for the qualifications of disciples, and the threshold is not high, so it is easy to get started. The disadvantage is that it is mediocre as a whole. It can be used for early practice. When the realm is high, other sword techniques can be learned.

"Dongxuan Sword Technique" is similar to the "Haoran Qi" of the Confucian School. The word "stable" runs through it all the time, and the foundation is solid. After the great success, no matter what kind of opponent you face, you will have the strength to fight. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to win by surprise, and the practice speed is slow.

"Gengjin Sword Art" is practiced quickly, and the killing power is good. The sword is originally a murder weapon, belonging to the Western Gold. This sword art is in line with the nature of the sword, and its power is really extraordinary. However, this sword also has disadvantages. Everyone has Yin and Yang Qi, and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The heart belongs to fire, the lungs belong to gold, the kidneys belong to water, the spleen belongs to earth, and the liver belongs to wood. After practicing this sword art, the gold Qi overwhelms the other four Qi. Geng is Yang, Xin is Yin, and Yang Qi overwhelms Yin Qi. The deeper this "Gengjin Sword Art" is practiced, the more imbalanced the Yin and Yang Qi and the five elements Qi in the body will be. Later, it will inevitably backfire on itself and it will be difficult to live long. Only when you reach the realm of heaven and man can you reconcile the Yin and Yang of the five elements so that you will not be harmed. Not only is it harmless, but it strengthens the internal organs.

The "Nine Revolutions Sword Art" is an exquisite sword art that does not require high qualifications and has no hidden dangers. The disadvantage is that this sword art incorporates the Taoist external alchemy method, and many levels in the middle must be passed with the help of external forces, that is, it must be assisted by various elixirs to be successful in cultivation. Without the support of a sect or family background, it is impossible to succeed in cultivation.

"Seven Killing Swords" was obtained by the founder of Shushan Sword School in a bet with an old ancestor of Wudao Sect. It is the most advanced and advanced method. Before Li Xuandu created "Twenty-eight Swords of Southern Dipper", it was known as the fourth swordsmanship, second only to "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon", "Thirty-six Swords of Northern Dipper" and "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin". It is extremely powerful, amazing in killing power, and strange and unpredictable. The disadvantage is that this method requires very high qualifications, and it is difficult for ordinary people to practice. Moreover, this method is too killing. If a person is not strong-minded, it is easy to go astray and leave hidden dangers.

"Shaochu Sword Art", the founder of Shushan Sword School got the "Taichu" method from the Five Innate Elements. He realized some truths of heaven and earth from it. Although he could not pass it on to his disciples, he combined it with the sword art and created a sword art called "Shaochu". This sword art is extremely mysterious and has no hidden dangers. The disadvantage is that it requires extremely high comprehension. Even if ordinary people barely get started, they will be stuck at the bottleneck and will not be able to make any progress for many years.

"Six Emotions Sword Art", the founder of Shushan Sword School had a relationship with a founder of the Forget Love Sect, which resulted in bitter consequences and he never married. However, this set of sword art was realized from the "Taishang Wangqing Sutra" of the Forget Love Sect. The original intention was to use it to deal with the "Taishang Wangqing Sutra" of the Forget Love Sect. It is said that there are seven emotions and six desires. At this time, there are only six emotions in the seven emotions. If one emotion is missing, it is the one that cannot be obtained. Later, it was modified several times by the founder of Shushan Sword School. It is no longer limited to the love between men and women. Even family love and friendship can also practice this sword art. This set of sword tactics is the strangest set of sword tactics. It is completely different from other sword tactics and is closely related to one's state of mind. The more lonely and embarrassed one is, the more powerful this set of sword tactics will be. It is a bit mysterious in line with "forgetting love". Although it is not as good as "heaven's calculation", it can often come unexpectedly, and one cannot predict where it starts and where it ends. One cannot predict it, and neither can the opponent. On the contrary, if one is in a happy mood and has no frustration, the power of this set of sword tactics will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to exert the various mysteries of unknown origin and unknown end.

There is no strict distinction between the seven sword tactics. Which one to learn first and which one to learn later depends on each person's aptitude and situation. However, it corresponds to the seven realms: the realm of heaven and man creation, the realm of heaven and man's infinite realm, the realm of heaven and man's free and easy realm, the realm of returning to the truth, the realm of innateness, the realm of Xuanyuan, and the realm of holding the elixir. The lower three realms are not qualified to learn. In other words, every time you climb a realm, you can learn one more sword technique, so as to make up for the deficiency. When you reach the realm of heaven and man, you can have seven sets of sword techniques in one. As for the legendary realm of longevity, you can't force it, you can only rely on your own opportunities.

Zhang Baizhou, as a direct disciple of the Shushan Sword School, has received the true teachings. Now he has reached the Xiantian realm, so he has learned three sword techniques, namely: "Taiyi Sword Technique", "Nine Turns Sword Technique", and "Six Emotions Sword Technique".

"Taiyi Sword Technique" needs no further explanation. This is a sword technique to lay a solid foundation. The sooner you practice it, the better. This is what Zhang Baizhou learned when he first entered the Baodan realm. "Nine Turns Sword Technique" is very consuming. Zhang Baizhou should not have practiced this method too early, but the head of the Shushan Sword School is quite fond of this disciple and even wants to inherit his mantle. Therefore, when Zhang Baizhou entered the Xiantian realm, he took the initiative to let him practice this sword technique, and the sect provided elixirs. As for the "Six Emotions Sword Art", it was learned by Zhang Baizhou when he was imprisoned in the bamboo forest in the back mountain. He was grateful for the pain of his family's death. At that time, Zhang Baizhou was only in the Xuanyuan realm. It was because of this that Zhang Baizhou was favored by his master.

At this time, Zhang Baizhou used the "Nine Turns Sword Art". As the name suggests, this set of sword art has nine changes, which is also the nine realms. When it is performed, it is really like a nine-turn chain.

If Xu Qi really wants to break the move, one palm is enough, but he has boasted before that he only uses the cultivation of the Xiantian realm, so it is not easy to take it hard. He can only step back a few steps. The sword energy swept past, but it cut off a few strands of his hair.

Zhang Baizhou took advantage of the situation to pursue and bully forward. The long sword in his hand went straight to Xu Qi's heart. Not only was the sword move sharp, but the posture was like a flying fairy. This move is the single-mindedness in the "Six Emotions Sword Art", but it is the heart of the enemy.

In his prime, Xu Qi traveled all over the martial arts world and had a lot of experience. Later, he was stationed at Jianxiu Mountain for many years. Naturally, he had been to the Tibetan place before. He had all the unique skills of various schools and had a wide range of knowledge. Although he had not blocked the first two moves, it was not difficult to see his origin. However, this "Six Emotions Sword Art" was unprecedented. This was not Xu Qi's fault, because the "Six Emotions Sword Art" was created only a hundred years ago, unlike other unique skills that have been passed down for thousands of years, and it was difficult to practice. If a frustrated person practiced it, he would never think of becoming famous in the martial arts world with this sword art, so few people knew about it. Not to mention that it was famous in the martial arts world, few people in the Shushan Sword School were familiar with it.

He was very curious and dodged again to see the next move of the young man.

Zhang Baizhou was also a meticulous person. After discovering Xu Qi's thoughts, he used five "Six Emotions Sword Art" in a row, which was exactly the number of six emotions.

Xu Qi, who had never seen the "Six Emotions Sword Art", gave up six moves in a row. Together with the first two moves, there were only two moves left out of the ten moves.
