Chapter 2547 2549 [No sword is better than having a sword]


    Xiangyang City then celebrated for three days to celebrate this hard-won victory.


    ?Meng Ge''s head was also pickled with lime by Lu Wende and rushed 800 miles to Lin''an to report his victory.


    ??This time the Mongolian army was defeated. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but the Great Khan''s head was also cut off. This was an unprecedented victory in the hundreds of years since the Song Dynasty was founded, and it was recorded in the history books.


    Xiang Nan, who accomplished this feat, naturally worked hard and made great achievements, winning the support of the people in the city and even the world.


    ?However, Xiang Nan did not take the credit, and quietly left Xiangyang with Mu Nianci, Li Mochou, Cheng Yaojia and others the next day and returned to Zhongnan.


    ?However, his deeds have not been forgotten because of this. Instead, they have spread farther and farther, becoming more and more legendary, and have become a legend in the martial arts world.


    …


    Two years later, Bao Xi died of a weak illness. Yang Tiexin was so sad that he died soon after. Half a year later, Li Ping also died.


    Another year later, Qiu Chuji considered himself old and wanted to hand over the position of head of the Quanzhen Sect to Xiang Nan.


    “Master, my disciple is just a lay disciple, how can he be the leader of the Quanzhen Sect?” Xiang Nan declined.


    Quanzhen Sect is different from Zhengyi Sect. Those who become monks in the Zhengyi religion can marry and have children without delay, and there are no taboos on eating meat or drinking alcohol. But the precepts of the Quanzhen Sect are the same as those of Buddhism. Not only are they not allowed to marry and have children, they are also not allowed to engage in wine and meat.


    Xiang Nan has a lovely wife and concubines, and he can''t give up his **** for words, so he doesn''t want to be the headmaster of Quanzhen.


    “Idiot, idiot, love between a man and a woman, a pink skull, how can it compare to the cultivation of the Great Dao.” Qiu Chuji said helplessly.


    "Master, I really can''t let go of you. Let''s do this. I promise you that if anything happens to the Quanzhen Sect in the future, I will definitely help you." Xiang Nan said.


    Qiu Chuji nodded.


    …


    ? Half a year later, Qiu Chuji passed away, and his second disciple Yin Zhiping took over as head teacher.


    ?With the death of Qiu Chuji, the era of the Seven Quanzhen Sons has also come to an end.


    ?Due to the change in the timeline, Xiao Longnu did not appear in Chongyang Palace, and naturally she did not make Yin Zhiping fall in love at first sight, nor did she practice the Jade Girl Heart Sutra with Yang Guo, giving Yin Zhiping an opportunity to take advantage of her.


    So Yin Zhiping did not violate the sexual caution. As the leader among the three generations of disciples, he has high martial arts skills, good moral character, and is also smart and agile, so it is suitable for him to take over the position of head teacher.


    Another half year later, news came from Zhu Ziliu that Master Yideng had passed away. Qiu Qianren, whose name was Ci En, also passed into nirvana on the second day and was buried with Master Deng.


    Another two years later, Huang Yaoshi realized that his time was running out, so he drove a flower boat alone and carried Feng Heng''s body deep into the ocean. In the next two years, news about Hong Qigong gradually disappeared from the world, and he was probably already dead.


    With the departure of these old friends, the era of the Five Jue of the Condor has officially come to an end.


    ? ? New people are emerging in large numbers in the world, and it is a new era.


    ?Yang Guo, He Zudao, Yiyi Yi, Guo Xiang and others gradually became the pillars of the Central Plains martial arts world, creating legends one after another.


    Eight years later, the Mongolian army invaded the south again.


    ?However, they did not dare to attack Xiangyang this time. Instead, they took a detour from the Kingdom of Tianfu and destroyed Dali first, and then attacked from south to north. In the end, Xiangyang became an isolated city.


    ?This time Xiang Nan did not go into battle again. He knew that at this point, it would be useless even if he killed the Mongolian Khan a few more times. Because the situation is stronger than the person, no one would stop.


    Fortunately, Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, learned his lesson this time, restrained his subordinates, and did not massacre the city again. They even made a three-part agreement, requiring the Mongolian army to commit no crimes in the autumn after entering the country. The people of Xiangyang City would be able to live as a result, and Xiang Nan would naturally not have to take risks again. After the general of Xiangyang decided to surrender, Guo Jing and his wife calmly committed suicide and swore to die not to surrender to the Mongolian country. Afterwards, the bodies of the two were buried by Kublai Khan.


    ??The people in the city also built temples for the two of them, sculpted their golden bodies, and worshiped them as the City God and Grandma of Xiangyang City. As for Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, and Guo Polu, they went underground and continued to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.


    Xiang Nan burst into tears when he learned that Guo Jing and Huang Rong had died, and was deeply impressed by their integrity.


    …


    Two years later, Xiang Nan was nearly eighty years old. Although he was an accomplished monk, he was still young, but he knew that the day to go back was not far away.


    Because Mu Nianci is not as good at martial arts as him, her health will fail in two years at most.


    ?So before leaving, Xiang Nan went to Xiangyang City to find Dugu Qiubei''s tomb.


    When we got there, we saw that the entrance to the cave was sealed with rocks.


    ?He was stunned for a moment and used his palm to overturn the rocks. He immediately smelled a rotten stench.


    After waiting for a while, he entered the cave and was surprised.


    They saw a white skeleton in the cave, clearly in the shape of a bird, but there were no signs of other people moving in the cave, so Xiang Nandu was a little confused about who blocked the entrance to the cave.


    But then he thought that although the big eagle was a bird, it was extremely intelligent. He guessed that it knew that its time was short, so it took stones to seal the entrance of the cave to prevent its body from being eaten by snakes after death.


    Xiang Nan then bowed deeply to Da Diao and said, "Brother Diao, I didn''t repay you for the kindness you gave me by passing on the sword. I feel really guilty. Now I will bury you and Senior Dugu together. I hope you will meet again in the underworld and do the same thing again." To a good partner.”


    As he spoke, he moved Dugu Qiubai''s tomb away, and sure enough he saw a white skeleton among the rocks, with a wooden box on top of the bones.


    Xiang Nan opened it and took a look. Sure enough, he saw a secret book in the wooden box, with four big characters written on the cover [Dugu Nine Swords].


    When he opened it again, he saw that his achievements were recorded on the title page.


    It turns out that when Dugu Qiubai was forty years old, he realized that there was a higher level of swordsmanship on top of Xuantie Swordsmanship, which was the Dugu Nine Swordsmanship of "One Sword to Break Thousands of Swords".


    At this level, moves and internal strength are no longer important. As long as you have a sword in your hand, you can deal with powerful enemies. By the end of the practice, it doesn''t matter whether it''s a bamboo sword, a wooden stick, or a blade of grass, you can still achieve the effect of defeating the enemy with one blow.


    Compared to the sharp sword realm, which requires a sword, the soft sword realm, where softness overcomes hardness, and the heavy sword realm, where powerful force can produce miracles, Dugu Nine Swords does not require sharp weapons, does not stick to moves, and does not emphasize internal strength. All vegetation, bamboo and stone can be used as swords. The realm is indeed higher. One chip.


    ?Although Xiang Nan had previously obtained the secret book "Dugu Nine Swords" passed down by Linghu Chong in the world of "Wulin Gaiden", Linghu Chong did not learn all of it, and he did not understand the breaking palm style and breaking Qi style enough, so the secret book was greatly reduced.


    ?Now that Xiang Nan has received the "Dugu Nine Swords" written by Dugu Qiubei, he has truly mastered this swordsmanship. Sure enough, the original version of "Dugu Nine Swords" was more mysterious and subtle than what he had learned before.


    Especially the Po Zhang style and the Po Qi style, which opened Xiang Nan''s eyes even more.


    In addition, at the end of the book, Dugu Qiubai also explains the situation of "Victory without a sword but with a sword".


    It turns out that although Dugu Qiubai devoted himself to pursuing "Victory without a Sword with a Sword", he never fully reached the state of "Victory without a Sword with a Sword" until his death, which was a pity. Therefore, he hoped that future generations could continue to study on the basis of his work. , hoping to one day reach the point where "no sword is better than having a sword".


    And his [No sword is better than a sword] is not the invisible sword energy that Xiang Nan had guessed before, but a sword attack, that is, a spiritual attack, similar to the [Sword Twenty] used by the sword master in "Wind and Cloud" three】.


    “That’s it.” Xiang Nan was shocked after reading it.
