Chapter 41 If you don’t know history, you are shallow and ignorant!
Xin Zhen nodded: "I guess you also don't know anything about the history of the Sun Moon Sect, right?
I guess you don't know much about the history of other factions of the Five Mountains Sword Sect?
Maybe he has only heard of the leaders of each sect, and knows a few elders under the leaders, and probably doesn’t know the rest of them.”
Linghu Chong still shook his head.
Xin Zhen said: "The Demon Cult is the mortal enemy of the Orthodox Cult. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
But you know nothing about the main figures, historical evolution, and development of the cult.
I'm afraid that if you meet a demon sect elder and he tells you his name, you will still foolishly think that he is a fellow martial artist, right?"
When Linghu Chong thought of Qu Yang from before, his expression did not look very good.
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "In fact, it's not your fault. Jianghu people don't like to read, so naturally they don't like to write history.
Otherwise, there should be works like "History of Martial Arts" and "Study on the Origin and Development of the Five Mountains Sword Sects".
When you younger generations in the martial arts world want to go down the mountain, you must read these works, otherwise you will not be allowed to go down the mountain.
If that is the case, you will understand each other, and it will not be easy for conflicts to occur, nor will you be ignorant when danger comes. "
Linghu Chong was not convinced and said, "After all, we are not scholars like you, Brother Xin Zhen, so it is normal that we don't understand these things.
And as I said, isn't it great that people in the martial arts world know chivalry and honor?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "No, if you don't understand history, you will be superficial, and if you are superficial, you will be arrogant, and if you are arrogant, you will be irritable, and if you are irritable, you will make mistakes."
Linghu Chong said unhappily, "Brother Xin Zhen, you keep saying that I am shallow, but I don't think so."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Do you agree that Huashan swordsmanship is not considered powerful in the martial arts world?"
As soon as these words came out, Linghu Chong was immediately furious and said, "Bullshit, Huashan swordsmanship is so subtle and profound, there are only a handful of people in the world who can compare to Huashan swordsmanship, how can it not be considered powerful!"
Xin Zhen laughed and said, "Look, aren't you shallow and irritable?"
Linghu Chong was not convinced and said, "You said I don't understand history, I admit it, but Huashan swordsmanship is the best swordsmanship in the martial arts world. This is recognized by everyone in the martial arts world. If you say it is not powerful, then your statement is not true!"
Xin Zhen stood up and said, "Are you okay?"
Linghu Chong shouted, "Even if I'm ill, I'm not afraid if you want to fight me!"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Let's just do some comparisons to let you know how narrow your vision is."
Linghu Chong drew his sword and said, "Brother Xin Zhen, please stop. I am competing with you today not for anything else but for your careless words. If you lose later, you will have to apologize to Huashan!"
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Your internal strength is not good, and your body has not recovered yet, so let's compete in swordsmanship."
Linghu Chong nodded: "Please!"
Xin Zhen didn't even wait for Linghu Chong to draw his sword, and casually thrust out a sword. Linghu Chong was immediately confused: "What kind of swordsmanship is this? Just a casual sword strike, and there are flaws all over the body. Where should I attack?"
Fortunately, Linghu Chong reacted very quickly and immediately responded with the move of Welcoming Guests from Green Pine Trees.
This sword technique is extremely exquisite. It took him a whole month to master it. It has become his ultimate weapon when facing the enemy.
In the past, once it was used, it was basically difficult for the opponent to resist.
But Xin Zhen casually swung his sword and stabbed out five times in succession in an instant, hitting five parts of his lower body.
Linghu Chong was horrified because he found that he could not dodge and could only watch as Xin Zhen's sword hit his lower body five times.
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "In fact, I only need to strike you once so that you can't dodge. I strike you five times in a row so that you can understand how many ways I have to break your sword moves." Linghu Chong was very unconvinced and said, "Come again!"
Xin Zhen had no objection and casually thrust out his sword.
This time, Linghu Chong used a rather complicated sword move, which he learned five years after he became an apprentice, and which was called You Feng Lai Yi.
This sword technique is extremely complicated, with five subsequent changes alone. It would be difficult to understand the various key points without the guidance of a master. This is basically his most important skill as he navigates the world.
Linghu Chong was extremely confident in this move, because when he used it in the past, even some martial arts masters would be at a loss or even be defeated by him.
However, Xin Zhen gently extended a sword, and found the tip of his sword among the many sword flowers he had shaken out. With a ding, all the sword flowers disappeared.
You Feng Lai Yi's next move could not be used because Xin Zhen interrupted her next move.
Xinhe Zhen's sword moved forward again and was already against his chest!
Xin Zhen took back his sword and said, "Come again."
Linghu Chong made another move and broke it again.
Linghu Chong mixed several sword techniques together, but was still broken.
Linghu Chong was like a madman, using all the sword techniques he knew at a violent speed. Even if Xin Zhen's attack was about to break it, he continued to attack regardless.
However, no matter how hard Linghu Chong fought or how fast he fought, Xin Zhen was able to break every sword move of Linghu Chong with just one move.
Break, break, break!
After breaking countless swords, Linghu Chong finally stopped.
He stood blankly on the bow, his face ashen, muttering, "How is it possible, how is it possible, how can he completely break the Huashan sword technique! This is impossible, this is impossible!"
Xin Zhen sheathed his sword and turned to the boatman who was watching the fun and asked, "I heard that the meat of Xiangshui black fish is transparent and tender, glutinous but not greasy, and tastes fresh and delicious.
Especially the people living on the water can use a pot of Xiangshui to make a dish that would make even the exiled immortals unable to resist coming back. I wonder if I have the honor to taste it?"
The boatman smiled and said, "I don't know if my cooking skills can make you, the exiled immortal Xin Tanhua, come back, but this pot of green fish soup is a favorite of many customers.
Some guests even come to take a boat ride with me a few years later just to drink this fish soup.
I will stop the boat now to fish, and you can drink sweet fish soup at noon. Yes, Mr. Xin, is it okay to stop the boat for a while?"
Xin Zhen laughed and said, "If I can drink this fish soup, it would be worth staying for a few days."
The two men were talking like this, but Linghu Chong turned a deaf ear to them and just stood at the bow of the boat.
Xin Zhen shook his head. It was obvious that Linghu Chong's faith had collapsed.
I have practiced and believed in the Huashan swordsmanship for half my life, but now it has been completely broken by someone else. No one can withstand such a blow.
Xin Zhen looked at the slowly flowing Xiang River and said leisurely, "It's not that there's something wrong with Huashan's swordsmanship."
Linghu Chong suddenly turned around and looked at Xin Zhen.
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Look, do you believe me when I say you are shallow? If I don't break Huashan swordsmanship, you will think Huashan swordsmanship is the best in the world.
But once the Huashan Sword Technique is broken, you will immediately begin to doubt that the Huashan Sword Technique is no longer effective.
You never have a clear understanding, either you are arrogant or you give up on yourself, what else can you say if not shallow and ignorant? "
