Chapter 13 Shocking Change
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I have a skill called photographic memory.

So whether you are practicing martial arts or studying, the things that take you a long time to memorize can be memorized in just a glance for me.

For example, Yu Canghai's Qingcheng swordsmanship, I actually learned it after just watching it once.

Reading is even easier. The most difficult and time-consuming part is just memorizing.

And I remembered the contents of the book at a glance.

So it’s not a big deal to be able to take both into account.”

Lin Pingzhi opened his mouth wide when he heard this: "I have heard of this before, but I didn't quite believe it. I didn't expect there would be such a god.

This, this, this is really too enviable, if I had this ability, oh!"

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Having a bad memory doesn't necessarily mean you can't practice martial arts well. During the Song Dynasty, there was a great hero named Guo Jing, who wasn't very smart either.

His master taught him martial arts, and he had to learn it dozens of times before he could master it.

But he never gave up. If he failed the first time, he would practice ten times. If he failed ten times, he would practice a hundred times. If he failed a hundred times, he would practice a thousand times.

Later he became the famous hero Guo. "

Lin Pingzhi looked at Xin Zhen suspiciously and said, "Brother Xin, although I know you are encouraging me, I think you are lying to me. If you don't have the aptitude, then it will be useless no matter how much you practice, right?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Hero Guo Jing was not very good in the early stage, because he practiced the martial arts of the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, and the martial arts of the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan were just ordinary martial arts in the martial arts world, and could hardly be called first-class martial arts.

In the later period, he became very powerful, because he practiced the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, which are top-notch martial arts. "

Lin Pingzhi hesitated and said, "Brother Xin, what you mean is that our family's Exorcism Sword Technique is not good enough?

But why was he so famous in the martial arts world back then, but now my father’s and my martial arts skills are so mediocre?

According to what you said, as long as the skills are good enough, you can always become a talent."

Xin Zhen clapped his hands and laughed, "Pingzhi, it's obvious that you have discovered the truth, which is that your family's Sword Manual of Exorcism is not good. Come, take a look at this..."

Xin Zhen had just taken something out of his pocket when he suddenly frowned and shouted, "Who!"

Xin Zhen quickly moved to the window and tried to break it open with one palm, but found no one there.

Xin Zhen was shocked: "Come with me and go see your parents!"

Lin Pingzhi was startled and ran ahead quickly.

Xin Zhen was afraid that there would be thieves harming him, so he quickly stepped in front of them and then let Lin Pingzhi knock on the door.

Lin Pingzhi quickly shouted, "Dad, Mom! I'm Pingzhi, are you there? Open the door quickly!"

There was no sound coming from inside. Lin Pingzhi became anxious and kicked the door open quickly.

Lin Pingzhi rushed in, but found the guest room empty. Lin Zhennan and his wife were nowhere to be seen.

Lin Pingzhi was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, turning around and around: "Brother Xin, Brother Xin, what should I do? What should I do?!"

Xin Zhen frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Be patient, we will wait until tomorrow morning. If your father and mother are not back tomorrow morning, we will go directly to Hengshan."

Lin Pingzhi was a little confused: "Why go to Hengshan?"

Xin Zhen said: "Although I didn't see who kidnapped your father and mother, I have already guessed that it might be someone from the Songshan Sect.

Recently, Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan School is going to retire, and the people of Songshan will definitely go there.

If it was done by the Songshan Sect, they would definitely go to join them, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to protect them since it’s so far north to Songshan.”

Lin Pingzhi had already lost his composure and had no idea what to do. Seeing Xin Zhen say this, he had no choice but to agree.

Xin Zhen took the disturbed Lin Pingzhi back to his room, but he didn't dare to let him stay alone in a room, for fear that he would be gone again when he woke up.

Seeing that Lin Pingzhi was at a loss, Xin Zhen took out a cassock from his arms and handed it to him.

Lin Pingzhi took it blankly and said, "Brother Xin, do you want me to become a monk?"

Xin Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he scolded with a smile: "Look at the contents of the cassock."

Lin Pingzhi was horrified when he saw this: "Brother Xin, I think it's better for you to become a monk. No matter what, you won't castrate yourself, right?"

Xin Zhen was completely speechless, and pointed at the cassock feebly: "Can you please finish reading it first?"

Lin Pingzhi closed his mouth in embarrassment and read it carefully. The more he read, the more surprised he became: "So this is the Sword Manual of Exorcism of my Lin family!"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, I found this in your Lin family's Xiangyang old house. This is your ancestor's sword technique to ward off evil spirits.

But you also know why it has not been passed down. If you want to practice the magical skills, you must first castrate yourself.

Your father and you have not castrated yourself, do you think you can master it?"

Lin Pingzhi read it carefully again, and this time he became distraught.

He murmured, "So that's it, so that's it!"

After a while, Lin Pingzhi came back to his senses and said, "Brother Xin, don't you want this Exorcism Sword Technique?"

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't want it. The swordsmanship I learned is much more powerful than any swordsmanship in the martial arts world, not to mention this kind of unorthodox swordsmanship."

Lin Pingzhi said bitterly: "Brother Xin, do you want me to learn this sword technique to ward off evil spirits?"

Xin Zhen shook his head again: "I don't have such an idea, but this Sword Manual of Exorcism belongs to you after all, I have to let you deal with it yourself."

Xin Zhen considered his words carefully, "...I need to tell you about my origins. Xin Zhen is my real name, and my hometown is Huayin County.

I guess you might be wondering whether I am from the Huashan Sect. There is indeed some connection between us.

My master, Feng Qingyang, is the uncle of Yue Buqun, the leader of Huashan Sect, but we are from the Sword Sect.

After the Huashan Sword Qi Contest, my master went into seclusion in Huashan. I usually did not reveal my identity to outsiders, so as not to arouse the fear of the current Huashan Qi Sect. Naturally, I seldom used Huashan swordsmanship.

Ha, actually I have no intention of entering the underworld at all. If I had not been dismissed from office this time and happened to go the same way as your family, I would have nothing to do with this underworld.

The sword technique used in the fight with Yu Canghai that day was called Dugu Nine Swords, which was the sword technique passed down by my master alone and did not belong to the Huashan sword technique.

If you want to learn swordsmanship to protect your parents and yourself, I can teach you whether it is Huashan Swordsmanship or Dugu Nine Swords."

Lin Pingzhi was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Brother Xin! I want to learn Huashan swordsmanship and Dugu Nine Swords!"

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded: "Okay, then let's go to Hengshan and teach you while we go."

On the second day, Lin Zhennan and his wife were still nowhere to be seen, so Xin Zhen and Lin Pingzhi took a boat to Hengshan.

There was just enough time while on the boat, so Xin Zhen taught Lin Pingzhi swordsmanship every day.

Xin Zhen knew that Lin Pingzhi's talent was only average. If he were to learn Huashan swordsmanship, it would probably take him twenty to thirty years to reach the level of Linghu Chong.

So I wanted to try letting him learn the Dugu Nine Swords to see if it would work.
