Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 22: Sword Manual of Exorcism (Please read~Please collect~Two in one~)

"Captain Lin, what do you mean by that?"

Yue Buqun's face turned pale and he angrily asked, "Do you think that I, like Yu Canghai, came here for your Lin family's Sword Manual of Exorcism?"

Lin Zhennan hurriedly said, "Master Yue has misunderstood! How could I think like that! It's just... Alas, a man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. In my hands, this Sword Manual of Exorcism is not only not a treasure, but a disaster."

"My Fuwei Escort Agency has fallen into such a state because of this. Now my husband and I have lost all our martial arts skills by Yu Canghai, so we can no longer protect it. If we keep it in his hands, I'm afraid we will die without a burial place."

"I presented it to Sect Leader Yue not only to repay his kindness but also to protect myself. I had no other intentions."

Yue Buqun's expression eased slightly, and he said righteously, "If Chief Escort Lin is only worried about this, there is no need to worry. Since I have come across this matter, I will not sit idly by and do nothing. I will send someone to send you to the Wang family in Luoyang. With the 'Invincible Golden Sword' Wang Yuanba here, you can rest assured."

Yue Buqun is a man who values ​​his reputation the most. Not to mention that he is only slightly interested in the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism, even if he is really interested, he would not accept it in front of Shi Potian and Yue Lingshan, and be known as someone who is repaying a favor.

Lin Pingzhi's eyes lit up and he was about to speak.

Mrs. Lin had already rushed forward, hugged him in her arms, touched his broken finger, and cried bitterly: "My child, my poor child!"

Lin Pingzhi was a little embarrassed: "Mom, I'm fine now. It's just a minor injury, it's nothing."

He has always been strong-willed and doesn't want to be treated like a child by his mother in front of outsiders, especially in front of Yue Lingshan.

Lin Pingzhi wanted to get out of Mrs. Lin's arms, but found that Mrs. Lin was holding him very tightly. Just as he was about to use some strength, he suddenly realized that Mrs. Lin was secretly pinching him with her hands.

Lin Pingzhi was stunned. He looked up and saw Mrs. Lin desperately winking at him, signaling him not to speak.

Know people, know faces, but don’t know hearts!
Before Yu Canghai revealed his evil ambitions, he was a highly respected and famous master. He didn't even look at the valuable gifts they sent.

But just for the Manual of the Sword to Exorcise Evils, he pretended to be a ghost and killed hundreds of people from the Fuwei Escort Agency in one breath. He even captured the couple and tortured them to extract a confession. How could he look like a senior master at all!
Yue Buqun's reputation is much better than Yu Canghai's, and he speaks and acts in a very nice way. He is really like a modest gentleman who is eager to help others, just like his nickname "Gentleman Sword"!

But, God knows what kind of person he is at heart, and whether all this is just a disguise!
Mrs. Lin didn't dare to gamble, and Lin Zhennan didn't dare to gamble either.

From Fuzhou, Fujian to Luoyang, Henan, it is thousands of miles away. It is no exaggeration to say that the family of three is like meat on the chopping board. Yue Buqun has thousands of ways to kill people and steal treasures without leaving any trace!
Lin Zhennan flattered, "Everyone in the martial arts world says that Huashan Sect's head, Mr. Junzi Jian Yue, is a true chivalrous man with the demeanor of an ancient gentleman. After meeting him today, I know that this is absolutely true. Headmaster Yue, this Sword Manual of Exorcism should be accepted by you."

He then said, "To be honest with Sect Leader Yue, the Exorcism Sword Technique we practice is not actually the Exorcism Sword Technique used by our great grandfather, Yuan Tu."

Yue Buqun was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized.

No wonder Lin Yuantu was able to dominate the martial arts world with just his sword and founded the Fuwei Escort Agency.

His descendants also practiced the sword technique to ward off evil spirits, but they were never able to make a name for themselves in the martial arts world with their martial arts.

He originally thought that this was because the descendants of the Lin family were unworthy and failed to learn the essence of the Exorcism Sword Technique. Now he realized that this Exorcism Sword Technique was actually not the same as that Exorcism Sword Technique. No wonder Lin Zhennan, Lin Pingzhi and others' martial arts were so sparse and ordinary.

Yue Lingshan couldn't help but interrupt, "Why don't you pass down your powerful kung fu?"

Lin Pingzhi also looked confused, as this was the first time he had heard of this.

Lin Zhennan shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have never seen the real Sword Manual of Exorcism, so I don't know what's inside. But my great grandfather Yuantu once left a will that all my descendants are not allowed to read it, otherwise there will be endless disasters."

Yue Lingshan exclaimed, "Ah!", her face full of astonishment and disbelief: "It's just a martial art, how powerful can it be, and can it cause endless disasters?!"

Yue Buqun scolded: "Shan'er, stop talking nonsense!"

Yue Lingshan was not convinced: "I'm not wrong! There is no distinction between good and evil in martial arts. No matter how powerful his sword skills are, how much harm can it cause?"

Yue Buqun said: "Who told you that there is no good or evil in martial arts? The more advanced the martial arts, the higher the requirements for one's character. The more compatible one's character is, the faster one will be able to practice. At the same time, it will also have an impact on the practitioner's character."

"For example, the evil skill that the former leader of the Demon Cult, Ren Woxing, practiced, the Star Absorbing Technique, can forcibly steal other people's internal energy for his own use. Do you think he would stir up disputes in the martial arts world and kill innocent people indiscriminately in order to practice martial arts? If he kills too many people, will he fall into the path of evil?"

Yue Lingshan blurted out: "Dad, you mean Lin Yuantu is him..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Yue Buqun interrupted Yue Lingshan and said, "Martial arts can be good or bad, but the root lies in the human heart. As long as you can stick to your heart, you will not be affected by external things. But, how many people in this world can do this?"

He glanced at Shi Potian unconsciously and continued, "Master Yuantu probably feared that future generations would not be able to resist temptation and fall into evil ways, so he established this ancestral precept."

Lin Pingzhi, Mrs. Lin and even Lin Zhennan all showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

Lin Zhennan said, "That must be the case. Sect Leader Yue, I have no way to keep the Sword Manual of Exorcism now. In order to prevent it from falling into the hands of people with bad intentions, please accept it for safekeeping. This will also be regarded as a relief for my grandfather's painstaking efforts."

Yue Buqun looked at Lin Zhennan for a long while and sighed: "Forget it, since Chief Escort Lin said so, I will keep it for you for the time being. When you feel you are capable of keeping the Sword Manual of Exorcism, you can come to Huashan to take it away at any time."

Lin Zhennan's fundamental purpose was to get the Sword Manual of Exorcism to save his life, so he naturally had no objection to this and urged, "Master Yue, the sword manual should be taken care of as soon as possible. Let's go get it now to avoid any more trouble."

Yue Buqun did not refuse this time.

The group immediately left the Fuwei Escort Agency and headed towards the Lin family's old residence in Xiangyang Lane.

Lin Zhennan is a well-known figure in Fuzhou City, and the haunting of the Fuwei Escort Agency is a major event that has been widely reported in Fuzhou City recently.

Along the way, many common people and gangsters pointed at them and talked about them.

There were also a few brave ones who came forward to say hello.

Lin Zhennan did not say that it was Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect who wiped out the people of the Fuwei Escort Agency. He only said that an enemy came to seek revenge, and he also made a big fuss about Yue Buqun's heroic rescue of them.

Yue Buqun saw through Lin Zhennan's little trick, but did not expose it. Instead, he cooperated with Lin Zhennan to greet these people from the martial arts world.

Lin Zhennan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Yue Buqun was willing to do this, and it was obvious that he had no intention of silencing them.

Walk through West Street to Anpingfang, cross a stone bridge, and you will soon arrive at the Lin family's old residence in Xiangyang Lane.

The Lin family obviously intended to conceal the existence of the Lin family old house. Not only was there no plaque hanging on the door, but they rarely approached this place on weekdays, so that there was a thick layer of dust on the door, and the yard was overgrown with weeds and in a dilapidated state.

Lin Zhennan led the way and led everyone to a Buddhist temple in the northwest corner of the Lin family's old house.

In the center of the Buddhist hall hangs an ink painting, which depicts the back of Bodhidharma, describing his situation of facing the wall for nine years.

There was a very old cushion on the west side, and on the table were a wooden fish, a bell, and a stack of Buddhist scriptures.

Lin Zhennan walked up to Master Bodhidharma, kowtowed three times respectfully, then turned to Shi Potian and said, "Young Hero Linghu, the Sword Manual of Exorcism is on the rooftop where Master Bodhidharma's right index finger is pointing. Please go up and take it down."

Before he could finish his words, the window of the Buddhist temple shattered with a bang, and a figure jumped in and headed straight for the roof.

It was Yu Canghai who had escaped earlier!

After Yu Canghai escaped from the Fuwei Escort Agency, he was not willing to give up, but hid in the dark, waiting for Yue Buqun to get the Sword Manual of Exorcism, and then he took the sword and ran away.

Yue Buqun did not expect that Yu Canghai would dare to come back, but he reacted very quickly. With purple energy surging on his face, he slapped Yu Canghai directly with his palm.

If Yu Canghai continues to rush forward, he will definitely be hit by his palm. At that time, not to mention the Sword Manual of Exorcism, he himself will have to stay behind!

Yu Canghai was naturally aware of all this. Even though he was unwilling, he had to twist his body to avoid the palm. He pushed his right foot against the wall and was about to pounce forward again.

But, it was just this moment of delay.

Shi Potian had already reached the beam before him. Whoosh!
Yu Canghai swung his hand back and a green iron spike as big as half a palm and as big as a bird's beak flew towards Shi Potian. It was the Qingcheng Sect's unique hidden weapon, the Green Bee Nail.

Shi Potian quickly stepped back and dodged.

Yu Canghai also put some thought into it. The head of the green bee nail was not facing forward, but the tail was facing forward. With a bang, the tiles on that piece of roof were smashed into pieces.

A red shadow, accompanied by mud, sand and dust, floated down from the hole in the roof. It turned out to be a cassock worn by a monk.

The sunlight shone through the broken window onto the cassock, which was covered with countless small words.

Evil Resisting Sword Manual!

Yu Canghai's eyes lit up and he leaped forward to grab it, but Yue Buqun had already stood in front of him.

The Qingcheng Sect's martial arts are known for their lightness and agility, and they can always escape when they are defeated. But now that Yu Canghai is determined to seize the Book of the Sword of Exorcism, the advantage of agility is gone.

"Get out of my way!" Yu Canghai shouted and used the Heart-Destroying Palm to force Yue Buqun back.

Yue Buqun had an indifferent expression. He swung his sleeves and met the attack with a palm. Purple air surged on his face, and it was obvious that he was using the Zixia magic skill.

Bang!
The two palms collided and remained deadlocked in mid-air.

However, this stalemate lasted less than a second!

Yu Canghai only felt a vast amount of true energy sweeping over him. It seemed to be there and not there at first, as soft as clouds, with great tenacity, overwhelming and unstoppable, and he flew backwards directly.

He somersaulted several times in the air before he managed to release the force and stand steadily.

However, the internal injuries he had suffered from Shi Potian earlier worsened again, and a taste of blood rose in his throat, which he swallowed back.

Yu Canghai felt that his actions were very covert and no one noticed.

But they didn't know that Zixia magic skill has the effect of enhancing the five senses and six perceptions.

Yue Buqun saw his little move clearly, and he was relieved and no longer anxious. He said, "Master Yu, the Sword Manual of Exorcism is the martial arts left by Lin Yuantu, the ancestor of the Lin family. You don't concentrate on practicing the martial arts of your own Qingcheng Sect, but covet the martial arts of others. If you spread it out, aren't you afraid that you will be ridiculed by the world?"

"Yue Buqun, you bastard, I'll fuck your ancestors! You said I coveted the Book of the Sword of Exorcism, and you, my bastard, did the same!"

Yu Canghai gritted his teeth and started cursing like a scoundrel.

He had been plotting for decades to obtain the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism, but in the end, Yue Buqun took advantage of him, and he hated Yue Buqun to the extreme.

This is also the reason why he was unwilling to leave even though he was injured.

Shi Potian and Yue Lingshan's attention was on Yue Buqun who was fighting with Yu Canghai, and Lin Zhennan and his wife lost all their martial arts skills.

Instead, the young and foolish Lin Pingzhi rushed forward, grabbed the cassock, and looked at it quickly.

Yue Buqun said that martial arts can be divided into good and evil, and will affect one's mind. Only people with a firm mind will not be affected.

Lin Zhennan said that according to the Lin family's ancestral precepts, descendants are not allowed to look at the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism.

But in Lin Pingzhi's eyes, I am the person with a firm mind and will not go astray!
Whatever our ancestor Yuantu could do, I can definitely do too!
However, he only took one look and his face changed drastically, and he cried out: "If you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first?! How is this possible!"

The entire Buddhist hall fell silent in an instant.

Everyone looked towards Lin Pingzhi at once, their faces filled with disbelief.

Only Shi Potian did not understand the meaning of castration and looked confused.

Lin Zhennan came to his senses, took two steps at a time, rushed forward, snatched the cassock, and took a quick look. He saw the eight big words written at the front: "If you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first". His face changed.

He couldn't believe it was true, but suddenly he understood why his great-grandfather Lin Yuantu had left behind the ancestral instructions and forbade future generations to read them.

The Lin family has always been a single-line family. If this knife is cut off, the result will be the extinction of the entire family line!

Yu Canghai was stunned for a while, then burst into laughter, his face full of joy and pride: "Yue Buqun, Sect Master Yue! This Sword Manual of Exorcism is yours now, you should practice it quickly!"

Yue Buqun was also very shocked in his heart, but he did not show any expression on his face. He said calmly: "Master Yu, it is you who has always coveted the Sword Manual of Exorcism, and it is also you who falsely accused me of coveting the Sword Manual of Exorcism. My Huashan Sect has its own martial arts handed down from generation to generation, and Yue has never thought of changing sects."

"As for you, Master Yu, I think you have deep inner demons. If you can't resolve them as soon as possible, I'm afraid your martial arts skills will not improve at all."

Yu Canghai's expression changed, but he knew that Yue Buqun was telling the truth.

He had begun to doubt the foundation of his martial arts. Unless he could break it down and then rebuild it, it was hard to say whether he could maintain his current martial arts skills.

Yue Buqun looked at Lin Zhennan and asked, "Captain Lin, what are you going to do with this Sword Manual of Exorcism?"

Lin Zhennan said without hesitation: "It's all up to Sect Master Yue."

If he had previously harbored some illusions about his own family's Sword of Exorcism, he had also complained in his heart why his great-grandfather did not allow them to practice the real Sword of Exorcism.

But at this point, all of this has disappeared!

Compared with the end of one's lineage, this Sword Manual of Exorcism means nothing!

Yue Buqun only hesitated for a moment before making a decision. He said with great righteousness: "This kind of training method is really against human ethics. It is better to burn it in this Buddhist temple to prevent it from spreading and causing trouble again."

Everyone has different expressions.

Shi Potian didn't understand what "unethical" meant, but judging from the looks of everyone, his master must have done something extraordinary.

Yue Lingshan felt that it was natural and it would be strange if her father didn't do so.

Lin Zhennan and his wife were impressed, but also felt a little ashamed, thinking that they were judging others by their own standards.

Lin Pingzhi has not yet recovered from the shock of "one must castrate oneself to practice this skill". Having never experienced the destruction of his family, the option of castration would not occur to him if he wanted to practice martial arts and become stronger.

Yu Canghai didn't believe it.

Stones from other mountains can attack jade!

He didn't believe that Yue Buqun would be willing to burn the "Bixie Sword Manual"!
However, he obviously underestimated the importance of reputation in the heart of Yue Buqun, a man who loves fame.

Especially for Yue Buqun at this time, he felt that after he had mastered the Zixia magic skill, he had become a top-notch master in the world, not inferior to Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance.

My disciple has a pure heart and a holy body with innate inner strength. In the future...

No, now it is enough to shock everyone!
The Huashan Sect has a bright future and will surely flourish!
He will also go down in history and be worshipped by the younger generations of Huashan from generation to generation!

In this situation, he naturally would not allow any stain on himself.

Seeing that Lin Zhennan had no objection, Yue Buqun took out a fire starter and set the cassock on fire in front of everyone, burning it to ashes.
