Chapter 41: Justice Partner Shi Feixuan
"Why is there a skeleton here?"
Kanan came to Ni Kun and asked in surprise, pretending to study the white skeleton, but in fact she kept stealing glances at the sword techniques on the stone wall.
Ni Kun glanced at her, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly:
"If you want to watch it, just watch it openly. There's no need to be sneaky."
Kanan giggled and immediately started watching attentively.
Ni Kun called Zhu Yuyan and Wen Caiting again: "Come over and take a look."
Zhu Yuyan and Wen Caiting also came over and watched the knife skills on the wall together.
After looking for a while, Zhu Yuyan said with a slightly serious look:
"Six Secrets of Ao Han? This sword technique emphasizes intention rather than moves. Although the moves are not particularly surprising, this sword intention..."
The magic weapon inherited by the Yingui Sect is a pair of Heavenly Demon Slashers, and Zhu Yuyan is naturally an expert in using knives.
But even with her attainments in swordsmanship, she had to admit that the sword intent of the Ao Han Six Secrets was far superior to the Yingui School's swordsmanship.
Of course, the foundation of the Yingui Sect is not in weapon skills, so it is not surprising that it loses to others in swordsmanship.
But Zhu Yuyan had also seen Song Que's "Heavenly Sword" and Yue Shan's "Tyrant Sword".
In her opinion, in terms of pure violence, the Ao Han Six Techniques are probably even better than the Heavenly Sword, but they are slightly lacking in artistic conception.
After all, Song Que's swordsmanship is a way of questioning the will of heaven and seeking the truth with the sword, while this set of Ao Han Six Secrets is just a pure sword for fighting and killing.
The Six Secrets of Ao Han do not ask about the way of heaven, but only talk about killing. Naturally, they cannot be as profound as Song Que's swordsmanship, which uses the sword to get to the bottom of the truth.
As for the Tyrant Sword... both in terms of artistic conception and power, it is slightly inferior to the Six Ao Han Secrets.
Zhu Yuyan’s judgment was naturally correct.
The power level in the Fengyun world is too high , which results in almost all martial arts being extremely murderous and violent.
However, the warriors in the Tang Dynasty were limited by the heaven and earth. Even if they reached the half-step heavenly realm, which was just one step away from "breaking the void", their destructive power could not reach the violent level of Feng Yun, who could collapse mountains with a wave of his hand and stop rivers with a stomp of his feet.
Therefore, the martial arts in the Tang Dynasty world pay more attention to artistic conception.
All top warriors who pursue the "Way of Heaven" have extremely high spiritual cultivation.
If one were to place a top warrior of the Tang Dynasty, such as Tian Dao Song Que, into the Feng Yun world, then with his talent, ability, and spiritual realm, he would become a top-notch master in the world after lying dormant for a few years.
Zhu Yuyan was trying to figure out the sword intent of Ao Han's Six Secrets while instructing Kankan and Wen Caiting:
"This sword technique is about moves first. The key is to comprehend the artistic conception. The moves are not important. As long as we comprehend the artistic conception and integrate it into our own sword technique, it will help us reach a higher level of sword technique."
Her advice was naturally very pertinent to Kankan, who already had profound attainments in swordsmanship.
Even though Wen Caiting's swordsmanship was not specialized, she had some attainments and was able to follow Zhu Yuyan's instructions.
But this statement does not apply to Ni Kun.
Because Ni Kun had no basic knowledge of swordsmanship, even if he was given a sword, he would only be able to chop around with it.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to skip the moves and directly comprehend the artistic conception. He must learn the moves first.
This is just like learning to paint. You have to follow a model and practice the basic skills first. Only after you have achieved some success can you learn and comprehend more advanced techniques and artistic conception.
However, Zhu Yuyan didn't know his background.
In Zhu Yuyan's mind, Ni Kun was an existence of another level, even so high that he was at the aura level. In his eyes, the mundane martial arts should not be worth mentioning.
Otherwise, why did he allow himself and others to watch and study the Ao Han Six Techniques without blinking an eye, when the artistic conception was only slightly inferior to Song Que's Heavenly Sword, and the violence level was even higher than that of the Heavenly Sword?
However, little did they know that now Ni Kun, let alone comprehending the artistic conception, even found it a bit difficult to learn the sword moves from the murals.
The Six Secrets of Ao Han are all about the intention of the moves first, emphasizing the intention rather than the moves. It is also a sword technique that can be considered top-notch in the world of Fengyun.
If you want to learn the moves of Ao Han's Six Secrets, you must first have a very solid foundation in swordsmanship.
How can you learn advanced techniques if you don’t even have the basics of using a knife?
Anyway, Ni Kun can only force himself to memorize now. He has to memorize the moves and sword techniques first, and then slowly figure them out later.
Fortunately, as a scholar who has received higher education, rote memorization is a basic skill and he has a good memory.
After experiencing a "rebirth" and strengthening his body to a certain extent, his memory was further enhanced. Although he has not yet reached the level of photographic memory, after reading it two or three times and memorizing it carefully, he can remember it all without any mistakes.
After writing down the sword manual, Ni Kun wandered around the cave again, trying to find the "Xueyin Kuangdao".
It has been a long time and I can’t remember many details clearly, but Ni Kun still remembers some details very clearly.
He knew that this skeleton was that of Nie Feng's ancestor Nie Ying.
Nie Ying's attacks of madness became more and more frequent, and his murderous intent grew day by day. He could not find a way to restrain himself. In order to prevent himself from killing innocent people without recognizing his own relatives, he imprisoned himself in the Lingyun Cave. Before he died, he carved the knife skills on the stone wall.
Later, Nie Feng's father, "Northern Drinking Mad Blade" Nie Renwang and Duan Lang's father, "Southern Kirin Sword Master" Duan Shuai, fought at the Leshan Giant Buddha. Suddenly, the Fire Kirin appeared and captured Nie Renwang. Duan Shuai also rushed into the Lingyun Cave to save Nie Renwang.
However, Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai were not killed. They worked together to repel the Fire Kirin and accidentally entered the depths of the Lingyun Cave, where they discovered the secret of the "Shenzhou Dragon Vein". They then lived in seclusion in the Lingyun Cave to protect the Shenzhou Dragon Vein.
Before entering the "Xuanyuan Mausoleum" where the dragon vein was located, Nie Renwang also found Nie Ying's body and left the Xueyin Kuangdao near Nie Ying's body.
So Ni Kun now wants to find out whether Xueyin Kuangdao is here.
However, he searched the cave, even the several branching paths that connected the caves, but he did not see any trace of Snow Drinking Mad Blade. He could not help but wonder:
The entire time when Lingyun Cave was traveled to this world was after Nie Feng had entered Lingyun Cave and retrieved the Xueyin Kuangdao, or before Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai both entered Lingyun Cave?
Both possibilities exist.
However, if it is the former case, then deep in the Lingyun Cave, in the mysterious Xuanyuan Mausoleum, the two peerless masters, Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai, may be hiding.
If it is the latter case, then the Fire Qilin is the only living creature in Lingyun Cave now.
Of course, no matter what the situation is, it will have little impact on this world.
Even if Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai hid deep in Lingyun Cave, they would not show up as long as no one disturbed the dragon vein.
"It's a pity that I can't use the Snow Drinking Mad Blade anymore."
Ni Kun secretly felt sorry for a while, then he became happy again:
"Lingyun Grottoes and even the Leshan Giant Buddha have all been transported here. If the Japanese emperor wants to seize the dragon vein of China in the future and rushes to Shuzhong with all his might, and finds that Lingyun Grottoes are gone, hey, the Japanese's expression will definitely be very interesting."
Since there was no Snow Drinking Mad Blade here and the sword manual was also memorized, Ni Kun called out to Zhu Yuyan and the other two, picked all the Blood Bodhi in the cave, and then continued to wander around looking for treasures.
Even if there is no Xueyin Kuangdao, there are still many blood bodhisattvas and a "Xuanwu Zhengong" diagram in Lingyun Cave.
At the same time, in another cave.
Shi Feixuan stood in front of a mural, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and she looked at the mural intently.
It was a mural of a man fighting a fire unicorn.
In the picture, a domineering man sits astride the back of a fire unicorn that is full of ferocious flames, swinging his arms as if striking.
The whole picture is composed of some crisscrossing and intermittent lines. Below the picture, there are two large characters "Xuanwu" engraved.
…
Like Kankan, Shi Feixuan had just come out of seclusion, and her first stop was Shuzhong.
When she was in Shu, she dressed as a man and called herself "Qinchuan". She met the amorous young man Hou Xibai and traveled with him in Shu. After hearing the news of the birth of the Leshan Giant Buddha, she rushed to pay homage to the holy site of the Buddha and lingered there for many days.
A few hours ago, something unexpected happened in front of the Buddha. An evil monk hurt innocent people and damaged the big Buddha statue. As a Buddhist monk, Shi Feixuan naturally felt obliged to do so. Together with Hou Xibai, she followed the other monks to chase the evil monk into the Lingyun Cave.
Unexpectedly, when they were besieging the evil monk, the Fire Kirin appeared and killed dozens of people on the spot, most of whom were Buddhist monks or secular masters who were friendly with Buddhism.
Afterwards, the Four Holy Monks, Zen Master Liaokong, and Master Zhenyan held back the Fire Kirin, while the others fled separately.
Shi Feixuan wanted to stay and help, but was sent away by Master Lu Kong with a palm. She was separated from Hou Xibai at that time and lost her way. She wandered around in this maze of caves with countless forks for several hours and had no idea where she was.
A moment ago, she came to this cave and discovered this colorful mural. She was attracted by it at first sight and immersed in it unconsciously. Gradually, she seemed to understand something, and a sword technique gradually became clear in her mind.
While observing and comprehending, Shi Feixuan suddenly caught a glimpse of an unusual movement coming from a fork in the road.
She was afraid that the Fire Kirin had come, so she quickly found a secluded corner, restrained her breath and hid herself.
Just as I hid myself, I heard an old man's voice faintly:
"What bad luck! I didn't expect to run into the Fire Qilin again. I almost got killed by it, and I wasted two Qilin fruits on healing my wounds."
Another old man laughed and said:
"Isn't this a good thing? If we hadn't suddenly run into the Fire Kirin, how would we have had a chance to turn the tables? How could this Eastern Left Envoy have fallen into my hands? Hehe, Eastern Left Envoy, you were so powerful before, but have you ever thought about what you are going to end up like now?"
As he was speaking, there was a sound of clothes tearing apart, and the old man laughed obscenely:
"Dongfang Zuoshi, you have always said that you are a man, but why is your face so beautiful? Why is your skin tighter and more delicate than many women's? Hehe, I am here to help you identify yourself and see whether you are a man or a woman!"
The old man in front said in astonishment: "Brother, you are not going to do anything here, are you?"
The obscene old man said:
"If we don't do it here, where else can we do it? If we kill Dongfang Bai here and leave her to the Fire Kirin to destroy her body, even the Holy Lord won't know that we killed her! Junior brother, do you want to come with us?"
"I don't want it!"
"Then go drink some wine and keep watch for Senior Brother."
"Well, okay then, Senior Brother, hurry up..."
"It won't be quick. It will take me at least half an hour!"
Hearing this, Shi Feixuan sighed, picked up her sword and walked out of the corner where she was hiding, and said to the old man who was about to tear open the robe of a red-robed woman:
"Senior, please let this girl go."
