Chapter 431 Sword!
Xin Zhen understood Zhang Gongyu's shock very well.

If my readers cannot understand, let me make an inappropriate analogy. It is like in the future you give me a bunch of information about the lunar spacecraft, and want me to know what the lunar spacecraft is like. Then the next day I come to tell you that I have built the lunar spacecraft and am ready to go to the moon.

If it were you, would you be shocked?

Oh, no, I should say that I took you directly to see the built spaceship. When you stood in front of the magnificent spaceship, you began to doubt your life.

This was Zhang Gongyu's situation. He wanted to question it, but the sword ball was right in front of him. Its earth-shattering sharpness could not be faked... No!
Zhang Gongyu immediately asked, "This sword pill was given to you by someone else, right? You must be kidding me, right? If the sword pill is cultivated by yourself, I have never heard of anyone being able to cultivate a sword pill overnight. Who can cultivate a sword pill without cultivating it over many years? Well... only one kind of person can do it."

Xin Zhen was somewhat curious and asked, "Who is it?"

Zhang Gongyu stared at Xin Zhen with wide eyes and said, "Yuanying old monster, with their abilities, they have already crossed the Jindan realm and entered the Yuanying realm, so they can naturally cultivate sword pills. So, Brother Weizhi, you are actually a Yuanying old monster, right?"

Xin Zhen laughed dumbly and said, "How much do you think I look like a Yuanying?"

Zhang Gongyu sighed and said, "It would be great if you were really a Yuanying."

Xin Zhen knew that something was wrong with Zhang Gongyu, so he asked, "Why? What happened?"

Zhang Gongyu whispered, "Hua Dynasty lost its power, and the heroes of the world are chasing it. Longhu Mountain is now attacking everywhere. Some people are holding their own troops and have thoughts that they shouldn't have. I have to go back immediately."

Xin Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Heavenly Master can't control the situation?"

Zhang Gongyu shook his head and said, "It's not that we can't control the situation, but now is the stage of seizing territory and recruiting talents.

It's true that I'm the crown prince of Mount Longhu, but if I can't use war to support war, occupy some territories of my own, and train my own troops, then even if I take the throne, I will still be restrained by others.

Some people may even have thoughts that they shouldn’t have. Weizhi, you are a scholar, you should understand what this means.”

Xin Zhen immediately nodded and said, "The Xuanwu Gate Incident."

Zhang Gongyu slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, Li Yuan did establish the crown prince, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji both served the concubines, flattering, fawning, bribing, and giving gifts, using everything they could to win the emperor's favor.

Li Yuan did support Li Jiancheng very much, but so what?
Li Shimin gained his prestige and power on the battlefield. The Tian Ce Palace was full of talented people, so how could Li Yuan suppress them?

In the end, this world is all about strength. I don't have any strength. Even if the old Heavenly Master dotes on me and reluctantly passes the position of Heavenly Master to me, I still won't be able to keep it.

Therefore, I have to go back as soon as possible, build up my own power, and then grab a piece of land in Jiangnan, so that I will not be sidelined.

When I become a Heavenly Master, I will naturally find countless ways to consolidate my position."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "When will you be back?"

Zhang Gongyu said, "We will set off in three days."

Xin Zhen asked: "How is the escort force?"

Zhang Gongyu was startled and asked, "Are you afraid that someone will kill you?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, but there is a possibility. You said the situation at Longhu Mountain is very complicated, so this situation may happen, so we must be fully prepared."

Zhang Gongyu nodded and said, "The old Taoist priest has arranged a master beside me. With him, I should be able to be safe."

Xin Zhen didn't ask any more questions, just nodded.

Zhang Gongyu said: "Weizhi, I came here to ask you, do you want to go back with me, or do you want to stay in the Daolu Division? If you want to stay in the Daolu Division, I can recommend you to take my place."

Xin Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "Little Heavenly Master, if you consider me a friend, don't try this trick again. This kind of temptation is not very smart."

Zhang Gongyu laughed and said, "Weizhi, don't misunderstand me. I'm really not testing you. I really want you to go back to Longhu Mountain with me, but I also need someone to look after the affairs of Daoluo Division. If you want to stay, I won't be disappointed, because with you in Daoluo Division, I can really go back to Longhu Mountain without any worries."

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Don't think too much about Daoluo Division. Your roots are not here. Longhu Mountain is your foundation. You should give it up if you should."

Zhang Gongyu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Weizhi, is this the first strategy you've proposed?"

Xin Zhen laughed and said, "You can think so."

Zhang Gongyu looked at Xin Zhen with sparkling eyes and said, "Weizhi, can you tell me in detail?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Hua Dynasty lost its deer, and Daoluo Si thinks it can inherit the deer. Longhu Mountain is chasing the deer. Will Daoluo Si allow Brother Gongyu to spy on the secrets of Daoluo Si?"

Zhang Gongyu clapped his hands and laughed, "That's the truth. There's no need to linger too much. Just go."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "If possible, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with the Daoluo Division. If the Daoluo Division is powerful, then there is nothing to say. Longhu Mountain will still rely on the Daoluo Division in the future. If the Daoluo Division is weak and cannot defend the capital, then Longhu Mountain may be able to take in the Daoluo Division."

Zhang Gongyu nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, that's right. Weizhi is indeed worthy of being the top scholar. He can see the situation in the world clearly."

Zhang Gongyu immediately said, "Then Weizhi will come with us in three days."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together."

Zhang Gongyu left happily.

Xin Zhen fell into deep thought.

The capital city is already a powder keg that could explode at any time. Leaving now would save me a lot of effort, but it looks like the journey back to Longhu Mountain won't be peaceful either.

Zhang Gongyu did not say what level of realm the person protecting him was at. Maybe it was very high, but if someone dared to kill him, he must have some ability. If he was careless, he might lose his life without knowing it.

Moreover, the great master was protecting Zhang Gongyu, not Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen returned to the Fan Mansion and told Ren Yingying about this matter, and then said: "...You and Sanniang and the others are walking with the child. It is too dangerous for you to be with us. If there is an attack, I am afraid I can only protect myself and cannot take care of you." Ren Yingying knew the priorities and nodded, "I understand. I will protect Sanniang and the children. You just take care of yourself and don't worry about us."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "How is your practice of the Nine Yin Manual going?"

Ren Yingying smiled and said, "I have already generated true energy. I will practice with the Yijinjian and Jiangu chapter together. The training speed is very fast. In a few years, I will become a great demon."

Xin Zhen laughed and then went to find Feng Sanniang.

Xin Zhen couldn't travel with them, so he was a little worried about them.

Xin Zhen asked, "Sanniang, how is your soul-stealing and spirit-stealing ability going?"

Hearing this, Feng Sanniang felt a little ashamed and said, "I have only learned the basics. This magical power is extensive and profound. Although I have some talent from the fox clan, it will take many years of practice to master it."

Xin Zhen nodded and said that this was very normal. Sometimes a martial art was not widely spread, not only because of the need to maintain class, but sometimes it was also related to talent. Just like the Dugu Nine Swords, if you don't have talent, you can't learn it even if you want to.

Xin Zhen thought for a while, asked Feng Sanniang to wait for a while, and then returned to the room. After a while, he took out a piece of paper he had just written and handed it to Feng Sanniang, saying, "There are two secret books in it. One is called the Destroying Divine Claw. The fox tribe has claws, so maybe we can make use of them.

The other one is the body movement, called Snake Walk and Cat Flip. You are from the fox tribe, so maybe it will be helpful to you.

Three days later, you and Yingying will take Xinqi and a few children with Uncle Fan to Luyang first. I will escort Zhang Gongyu to Longhu Mountain and pick you up there. You must protect them well. "

Feng Sanniang nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "Don't worry, sir. If anything happens, as long as I'm alive, they won't lose a hair."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "You go and try it first. I'll let Xin Qi take care of the packing and other things."

Feng Sanniang knew that time was running out, so she quickly went to her room to familiarize herself with the skills.

Xin Zhen found Xin Qi and asked him to quickly prepare the group's luggage. Although there would surely be arrangements if they followed the Fan family, it would be better for him to make arrangements on his own, otherwise if the other party was negligent, it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

I told Xinqi some things. Xinqi knew that time was tight, so he hurried to get busy.

Xin Zhen looked at Xin Qi's back and thought to himself that it was time to localize the Quanzhen Heart Method. Not everyone can practice the Chunyang Wuji Gong, and the same is true for the Nine Yin Scriptures. However, the Quanzhen Heart Method is a pure Taoist method. If it can be cultivated and localized, the power should not be much different.

"Find a time to work it out."

Xin Zhen thought that he also needed to go into the room. The sword pill had just been nurtured and he needed to get familiar with it and see how to combine it with the Dugu Nine Swords and Huashan Swordsmanship.

Thinking of this, Xin Zhen's mood suddenly became excited.

In fact, Xin Zhen had long had doubts about the Lonely Nine Swords and the Five Mountains Sword Technique. He was able to perform some of the sword moves with a sword, but he always felt that he was not satisfied. This was still the case even after he had mastered the art of creation.

Now that he has cultivated the sword pill, he thinks about the usage of the sword pill and connects it with the sword skills he knows, and he feels as if everything is suddenly enlightened.

For example, the boundless falling leaves in Huashan swordsmanship. To perform this move, one must make it sound like a rustling sound. When performing it with the sword in hand, it can only be performed within a few feet of the body. Moreover, it only looks like it. In fact, it is just a quick movement and it just looks interesting.

But if it is performed with a sword ball, it will be completely different.

The sword ball can transform into thousands of forms, and with his current skill level, it can cover an area of ​​hundreds of feet. If he were to face the Mongolian army now, this move would probably cause the Mongolian soldiers within a hundred feet to lose their lives!

There is also the move "The Phoenix Comes". If it is performed using the sword-holding method, it can only draw a semicircle from left to right, imitating the idea of ​​a circling phoenix. However, if it is performed using the sword ball, it is enough to illuminate half the night sky.

Similar sword techniques include white clouds emerging from the mountains, phoenix coming, celestial gentleman hanging upside down, white rainbow piercing the sun, ancient pines welcoming guests, golden geese flying across the sky, green mountains hidden in the distance, ancient cypresses growing densely, and bells and drums ringing. If these are performed with the sword ball, the magnificent aura will surely soar into the sky!

And the general outline of Dugu Nine Swords is taken from the "Book of Changes", which is the pinnacle of martial arts in the world. It contains the secrets of everything. When used with the sword, it is a unique skill of attacking without defense and winning without moves. It can be used with the sword ball, which contains the all-encompassing meaning of the "Book of Changes". As long as the opponent shows the slightest flaw, the sword ball can take advantage of the opportunity to get in!

There are also the other Five Mountains sword techniques, each with its own merits!
When Xin Zhen thought of this, he was overjoyed.

Just before he was about to enter the room, Feng Sanniang came hurriedly. Seeing her excited expression, Xin Zhen knew that the two skills might have some mysteries, so he waited for Feng Sanniang to speak.

As expected, Feng Sanniang excitedly whispered, "Young Master, the Crushing Divine Claw should be the secret book of the Golden Winged Peng Bird Clan. It is said that when it is fully mastered, nothing can be broken by the claws, even some magic weapons cannot resist a single claw.

Although the Snake-like Walk and Flip-like Moves are not the secret book of any particular tribe, they are the body movements that made a great sage of the demon tribe famous. It is said that once one uses it, one can go up to the nine heavens or down to the underworld, making it impossible to find any trace of one!

Sir, I won't ask where you got these magical powers from, but are you really going to pass them on to me?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "You are my confidant. If not you, who else should I pass it on to? Just practice well. I will need your help with many things in the future."

Feng Sanniang left with tears of gratitude.

Xin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that his guess was getting closer to the truth.

His time travel was definitely not without reason!
Almost all martial arts secrets are basically effective and of extremely high levels!

This shows that the person behind this is also in a very high position in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Otherwise, how can we explain how these monster tribes can get their hands on all the holy books and secret manuals?

The man behind this, using the four Jin Yong worlds as a layout and stuffing many demon clan scriptures into them, was just to get himself to this Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio world?
But it’s a bit scary to think about it this way. The four Jin Yong worlds are actually set up for a layout. So, what exactly does this promoter want to do?
But at this point, Xin Zhen has no way out. If he doesn't learn these things and doesn't work hard, his future will definitely not be good. It is better for him to work hard and see what this person wants to do. Maybe when he walks up to him, there will be an unexpected surprise.

Xin Zhen entered the room, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and sank his mind into his dantian.

Inside the Dantian, the sword ball was like a bright moon hanging high above the sea. This sea was naturally Xin Zhen’s Dantian.

Xin Zhen's mind moved: "Endless falling leaves!"

The bright moon suddenly cast some light, like stars falling from the sky, with an extremely magnificent momentum, creating endless waves in the Dantian!
