Chapter 518 Shushan, Cihang
Dugu Lan, the head of the Shushan Sword Sect, and Bu Jichan, the abbot of Cihang Jingzhai, although these two have only been in the world and established their sects for more than ten years, they have also accumulated a lot of fame.

The sect was founded in Shushan and Sichuan. The sect leader Dugu Lan was known as the Drunken Sword Immortal and the Lan Sword Saint. He had countless disciples in the sect, all of whom were geniuses in swordsmanship.

Different from the orthodox Xuanmen sect which uses sword as a magic weapon and collects the essence of gold from heaven and earth to refine various types of sword lights, Shushan is loyal to the sword, extreme in sword, and devoted to the sword. They practice sword all their lives, not to become a sword immortal, but only to become a sword practitioner. Therefore, unlike the hermit practice of Xuanzong, the sect opens its doors to many people. Even if someone is unqualified and cannot practice the profound sword intent, there are sword techniques passed down that can kill bears and tigers.

However, there are many sword techniques in Shushan. In order to prevent the disciples from being of varying quality and causing trouble by going into the secular world with swords, Dugu Lan established hundreds of rules and regulations when he founded the sect. He had extremely strict requirements on the temperament of his disciples. If anyone made a mistake while going down the mountain to train, the elders of the sect would come and punish them.

These sword cultivators have always had a bad reputation. They draw their swords not for personal reasons, but only to eliminate all injustices and evildoers in the world. They draw their swords for justice and are praised by the people. They are given the title of knights and are called Shushan Swordsmen.

These swordsmen hate evil and are as indomitable as their swords. Whenever they see injustice or evil in the world, they will draw their swords even at the risk of their lives, preferring to break rather than bend. However, they are too rigid and easily broken, and every year many of their disciples die at the hands of the evil.

However, the Shushan Sword Sect is extremely protective of its own people and believes in avenging grievances and revenge. Once a disciple dies while slaying a demon, countless swordsmen will be dispatched. They are not like the Xuanmen sect who care about background and show mercy and fight to the death with the villain. If one person dies, thousands of people will come to seek revenge. Of course, if the swordsman dies due to personal vengeance and does not participate in the cause of slaying the demon, this will naturally not happen.

In the land of Sichuan, there are countless sword peaks and countless swordsmen lingering here, killing all the demons and monsters who have the chance to enter Sichuan but not to leave. The land is peaceful instead. These Shushan swordsmen have nicknames such as the Evil One, the Peerless Sword Maniac, and the Sword Madman.

Also, this type of sword cultivation is very different from the Xuanmen cultivation method. Unlike the method of condensing spiritual energy to form the foundation of the Tao, they only cultivate a natal sword embryo that is cultivated with their life and soul. Even their natal true essence is placed on the sword embryo. They control the sword with their spirit, sharpen the sword embryo with murderous aura, and cleanse the sword edge with killing. The faster the sword, the greater the killing power; the more fierce the killing power, the sharper the sword. However, they do not rely much on spiritual energy.

Bu Jichan is a rare and extraordinary woman in the world. Apart from her unparalleled beauty, her personality and way of doing things are unique.

This person founded Cihang Jianzhai, which was originally a nunnery with only a few people in the beginning. Looking back on the world, many ordinary people preferred sons to daughters. They would treat sons well but would drown daughters in the river.

Bu Jichan is not a saint. She knows that it is difficult for mortals to survive. A boy can be a strong laborer for a family, but a girl can hardly be the backbone. Although it is an evil act for mortals to have such prejudice, they have to do so because life is difficult. If they really have enough food and clothing, it would be the right way to change their temperament.

She did not ask for all the girls in the world to survive. She only tried her best to draw her sword and split the mountains, and cleared a river, which she named the Daughter River. This river was different from other rivers. It did not follow the water's nature, but was an upstream river. Any poor family that had an abandoned girl could come to the lower reaches of the Daughter River, put the girl into the river, and let it float upstream. The nun from Cihang Jianzhai would take her in and raise her.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, there were countless little girls in Cihang Sword House, but only a few adult nuns, and the place was full of baby girls under three days old. As time passed, the baby girls grew up and set up strongholds in various places, not for other reasons but to collect abandoned babies from all over the world, saving countless lives.

This Cihang Sword Studio is both good and evil, and has a beauty-preserving technique. All of its female disciples are extremely beautiful, with both sex appeal and sword skills. They are carefully taught by Bu Jichan, who only wants to uphold justice.

However, this method of supporting is often criticized by the righteous, because there is a method of overcoming demons in it, which is the sword of love. If there is a fierce demon in the world, the fairy of Cihang Sword House will serve the demon with her body, so that the demon will fall in love, lose her ambition, and retire to the mountains. This method is often despised by the Xuanmen. There was a true cultivator who came to discuss Taoism, but was rebuffed by Bu Jichan: You are a man, but you can't kill the demon, but you want us girls to rescue you and save you with your body. You will really be laughed at by the world. Why don't you reflect on your own mistakes and shamelessly come to embarrass us women?
The ancient punch left Xuanmen speechless and he could only let it go, allowing this group of unique nuns with different thoughts from others to walk around.

Also, because the Cihang Sword Studio is rooted in the mortal world, whenever there is a natural disaster, there will be benevolent acts of disaster relief, saving countless lives. Instead, it has a reputation for benevolence among the people. Because the disciples of the Sword Studio all wear white clothes, they are called the White-Clothed Fairies.

The method of overcoming demons and the sword of love are just side paths, which can only be used once or twice in decades. The fundamental method is a book of Cihang Sword. Wielding a sword to eliminate demons and following the path of Qingfeng are the right ways. Otherwise, this huge Cihang Sword Pavilion will eventually become a cave of ecstasy violated by demons, no different from a mortal world.

Only those who have made a name for themselves with their swords can be called unparalleled fairies and truly stunning. The requirements on talent, character, and aptitude are extremely strict. Beauty is only the final aid. Otherwise, the sword of love would not be so powerful. There are countless demons in the world. Do you really think that they are all lustful and obsessed with desire?

Only by using sincerity as a sword and emotional tribulation as a net to subdue the devil, can he be sincerely convinced and bow down under the wide-sleeved fairy brocade skirt and be willing to retire to the mountains together. Beauty is the most important thing.

Now that the two of them have come forward, they have attracted countless attention. Facing all kinds of eyes, Dugu Lan and Bu Jichan seemed to be unaware. They were tough people in the world, and their words and deeds were unique. Without a strong mind, it would be difficult to gain influence. Some idle talk and random accusations were no more than a leaf adding to their bodies, and they did not feel any burden at all.

Dugu Lan had a blank expression on his face. He had already placed all his emotions on the sword, not showing any of it, only endless indifference. Now he slowly untied the cloth strip on the sword.

In an instant, everyone seemed to see a ray of white light illuminating the universe, extremely sharp and able to cut through anything. Then, boundless sword energy rose up, shattering countless clouds.

Dugu Lan was a man of few words, so he didn't say a word. He held a sharp sword in his hand, stepped forward, and entered the battlefield. His whole body turned into a flash of sword light, and he would not turn back until he killed his enemy.

Bu Jichan laughed sweetly: "I didn't expect that a man from the righteous Xuanmen would eventually ask a little girl like me for something."

The voice was gentle: "Well, I am not very talented, but I know a little bit about swordplay, so I can only show off my ugliness in front of you all."

These words left the righteous people speechless with ridicule, but she stood up with her sword in hand, dressed in a white robe like a flying dragon and phoenix, and walked into the battlefield through the flowers and forests. Then the sword flowers bloomed, gorgeous and dazzling.
