Chapter 137: Qi Zong, how should we deal with it?
On the second day, Yue Buqun arrived with his wife and apprentices and became teachers hired by the school. With their joining, the teaching work of the school finally got on the right track.
Xin Zhen has been quite busy these days. His sword skills have basically been sorted out, and Lin Zhennan is handling the matters at the Fuwei Escort Agency.
During this time, Ji Wushi, old man Zu Qianqiu and the other two also joined. With the four of them, all the original branches of the Escort Agency in the ten provinces have been reopened, and Xin Zhen doesn't have to worry too much.
Therefore, Xin Zhen’s main task in the near future is still to focus on the school.
The academy is the top priority for the development of the Sword Sect. Whether it is creating sword techniques or opening an escort agency, the ultimate goal is to cultivate these talents.
After all, I have never heard of people in a country with nuclear weapons and millions of troops going hungry. If that were true, it would only mean that the whole world is starving.
In order to observe these disciples closely, Xin Zhen opened a course, which was the history of martial arts that he had prepared at the beginning.
As soon as this course started, it immediately attracted the students' enthusiasm. Students might be lazy in other courses, but not in this course.
Not to mention them, even Feng Bu Ping listened to every lesson and enjoyed it very much.
Because Xin Zhen started talking about the history of martial arts from The Sword of Yue Girl, and went all the way through Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and The Return of the Condor Heroes, covering the changes of dynasties, the fall of dynasties, the rise and fall of sects, personal destiny, etc., analyzing them from different angles, which opened the eyes of his disciples and also amazed people like Feng Ping.
Feng Buping sighed and said, “Before I listened to the master’s class, I only saw a small area and thought it was the whole world. In fact, I was just a toad sitting in a deep well.
After listening to the master's class, I finally realized that the world is so vast, human hearts are so complicated, the connections between all things in the world are so wonderful, and conspiracies are so insidious..."
Lin Pingzhi smiled and said, "This is not the first time I have listened to my senior brother's class. Before listening, my world was in chaos. After listening, I gradually opened my eyes and saw the world clearly."
This course also attracted Yue Buqun and his wife and disciples. Originally, they would either attend the course for an hour and then go back, or stay to continue their classes. However, after listening to Xin Zhen's course, they refused to leave and had to finish the course.
Yue Buqun found Xin Zhen and said, "Brother Xin, can any of my other disciples come and listen to your lessons?"
Xin Zhen had no objection and said with a smile, "Of course, please ask them to come over and communicate with the disciples. We are all from Huashan Sect, so why should we differentiate between ourselves?"
Seeing Xin Zhen being so magnanimous, Yue Buqun was moved and said, "I used to think that Junior Brother Xin had ulterior motives, but after listening to your lectures, I realized how far-sighted you are and how broad-minded you are. You have long thought about the future, even for tens or hundreds of years. With such a long-term vision, how could you be so concerned about the things in front of you?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Yue, you are too kind. In fact, in my opinion, the relationship between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect is just like two brothers from one family. The two brothers have some conflicts, but when outsiders come to bully them, brothers are brothers after all, and they will always join forces to fight the enemy."
Yue Buqun nodded and said, "Yes, Zuo Lengchan has been reluctant to put pressure on me recently. I have to thank Junior Brother Xin and Junior Uncle for this."
Xin Zhen shook his head and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yue, you don't have to be polite."
Yue Buqun suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Xin, I heard from Chong'er that you recently created the Spring Breeze Sword Technique, which is even more profound and exquisite than the Xiyi Sword Technique and Yangwu Sword Technique. Is this true?" Xin Zhen looked at Yue Buqun and nodded, "Not only the Spring Breeze Sword Technique, but also the Small World, Black Tortoise, Hidden Dragon, and Inducing Phoenix. They have different styles, but they are all better than the Yangwu Sword Technique and the Xiyi Sword Technique."
Yue Buqun was greatly surprised and said, "There are actually seven sword techniques!"
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Huashan has a strong foundation, but compared to Shaolin Temple, it is still too thin, so I created seven sword techniques to increase the foundation.
To be honest with you, you haven't seen my master for all these days. The reason is that my master is also researching and creating a secret manual.
However, he did not create a sword technique, but a general secret book of various weapons such as swords, spears, palms, whips and ropes based on the Dugu Nine Swords. Each book can lead to dozens, hundreds or even thousands of secret books.
By then, there might be a place to learn all kinds of swords, guns, sticks and clubs, and they would all be extremely sophisticated and superior martial arts secrets."
Yue Buqun was really stunned this time. He had actually read the secret manual of Dugu Nine Swords. Linghu Chong would not refuse his request, as he naturally knew how mysterious Dugu Nine Swords was.
It is conceivable that the general outline of various weapons deduced based on the Dugu Nine Swords must be an extremely mysterious secret book.
Yue Buqun imagined that the Sword Sect would have thousands of martial arts secrets in the future, and that grand occasion made him breathe faster.
There is a saying in martial arts that one can't digest too much if he bites off more than he can chew, but that is only for individuals. For a sect, the more martial arts secrets there are, the greater the chance that the disciples will succeed.
If you don't believe it, just look at the Shaolin Temple. Shaolin monks have always represented the high-end combat power of the martial arts world. Not every one of them can practice the Yi Jin Jing or the 72 unique skills. Even if they practice some martial arts secrets that are not unique skills, they still produce countless first-class masters.
Thinking of this, Yue Buqun got goosebumps all over his body. He had already imagined that in twenty years, no, maybe ten years, the prosperity of the Sword Sect would be irresistible.
How should Qi Zong deal with it then...
Yue Buqun looked at the huge square where hundreds of disciples of the Sword Sect were practicing sword skills. The grand scene made him feel despair.
Qi Zong, how should we deal with ourselves...
Xin Zhen could naturally say that the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect were brothers or something like that. That was because the Sword Sect now already had the rudiments of a large sect, with two top masters in charge and four or five first-rate masters under them. With three or four hundred disciples now, it would only take ten years for one or two hundred disciples to take over.
On the other hand, in his Qi Sect, there were only the two of him and his wife and a senior disciple. The rest of the disciples were too weak and too few in number. He had no way of recruiting as many disciples as the Sword Sect. So ten years later, the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect would not be able to be compared at all.
It would be fine if the Sword Sect recognized their old friendship, but if the next generation of disciples wanted to swallow up the Qi Sect, how could the Qi Sect resist?
When Xin Zhen saw Yue Buqun's expression, he knew what he was thinking, but there was no way to persuade him. Yue Buqun had to figure it out himself.
However, Xin Zhen did not want to make things too awkward with Qi Zong, so he asked, "Senior Brother Yue, do you want to learn the Spring Breeze Sword Technique?"
