Sword from Songshan

Chapter 55: Sword Manual of Exorcism
The two fast horses took turns, traveling day and night, and seven days later Lu Nanxing arrived in Fuzhou Prefecture.

This time, to eradicate the Yellow River Gang, the external helper Lu Nanxing is looking for is Lin Zhennan!
A year ago, on his way to Songshan, Lu Nanxing rescued Lin Zhennan, who was seriously injured in a convoy robbery. He was considered Lin Zhennan's lifesaver.

Since he saved my life, it wouldn't be too much to ask him to help.

Strictly speaking, Lin Zhennan is not a man of the underworld; a businessman is more appropriate.

But he is in the escort business and is closely connected with the underworld.

The Fuwei Escort Agency's business spreads across ten provinces. There are hundreds of escort leaders and porters in the headquarters and branches. Although there are no top experts, they all have some skills.

If we borrow the power of Lin Zhennan's Fuwei Escort Agency, the two or three hundred members of the Yellow River Gang will not be a problem.

However, Lu Nanxing still lacks a top-notch master to help him deal with the Yellow River Ancestor.

"right here."

After entering Fuzhou City, Lu Nanxing found an inn closest to the north gate to stay in instead of going directly to the Fuwei Escort Agency.

After midnight at night, he climbed out of the window and quietly came to Xiangyang Lane.

In the huge city of Fuzhou, with its bustling market, Xiangyang Lane is just an inconspicuous old lane.

But few people know that here lies a peerless sword technique that countless heroes in the martial arts world dream of!
Walking straight to the end of the alley and coming to a large house with black doors and white walls, Lu Nanxing nodded slightly.

This big house is the old house of the Lin family!

There was no one around, so Lu Nanxing used his lightness skills to leap over the wall and into the yard.

Back then, the Lin family was not as powerful as it is today, but as a top-notch master in the martial arts world, Lin Yuantu was not comparable to ordinary people.

This old house has two entrances and two exits, a main room, east and west wing rooms, and some other auxiliary rooms, totaling about ten rooms.

With so many rooms, it is not easy to find a secret sword technique book.

However, as a time traveler, Lu Nanxing doesn't need to worry about this at all.

According to the information in the original book, go through the second door to the backyard and walk straight to a room in the northwest corner.

The door was locked, but it was already old. Lu Nanxing just reached out and twisted it, and with his strong finger force, he forced the iron lock down.

Pushing open the door, in the dim moonlight, I saw a portrait of Bodhidharma hanging in the middle of the room. At the foot of the west wall there were a cushion, a wooden fish, a bell, and a pile of Buddhist scriptures. It was obviously a Buddhist temple.

"Yes."

After confirming, Lu Nanxing was delighted again and walked into the room.

He ignored the scriptures which were best for hiding secrets, and walked straight to the ink-and-wash portrait of Bodhidharma.

On the back of the painting, there is the story of Bodhidharma facing the wall for nine years. If it were an ordinary person, he might not think too much about it, but as a time traveler, Lu Nanxing knew the secret.

In the portrait, Bodhidharma's left hand is placed behind his back, as if he is making a sword gesture, while his right index finger is pointing towards the roof.

"That's it!"

Lu Nanxing was cheered up, picked up a candlestick and threw it hard in the direction of the portrait's middle finger.

Bang~!

There was a muffled sound, and mud, sand and dust fell down. Lu Nanxing, who was prepared, dodged to the side to avoid being covered in dust.

Then, a red object fell from the hole in the roof. Lu Nanxing opened his eyes wide and reached out to catch it, but it turned out to be a monk's robe.

When I unfolded it, I saw it was covered with tiny handwriting.

"found it!"

Looking at the cassock in his hand, Lu Nanxing's face was filled with excitement. This was exactly the Sword Manual of Exorcism!

It is said that there was a eunuch in the previous dynasty who was extremely skilled in martial arts and created a martial arts school called the Sunflower Manual! The martial arts contained in the manual were so profound that no one had ever mastered them in three hundred years.

After several dynasties changed and many twists and turns, the Sunflower Manual finally fell into the hands of the Shaolin Temple in Putian.

About eighty years ago, Yue Su and Cai Zifeng of the Huashan School took the opportunity to sneak a peek at the Sunflower Manual while visiting the Shaolin Temple in Putian. In a hurry, the two did not have time to read the entire book, so they could only read it separately, with each person memorizing half.

But when they returned to Huashan and verified their information, they found that they were completely irrelevant. Each of them thought that the other had read the wrong book, and they argued endlessly about it. This was also the beginning of the dispute over sword energy in the Huashan Sect.

Master Hongye of Putian Shaolin Temple noticed this and was worried that the martial arts recorded in the treasure book were dangerous, so he ordered his disciple Master Duyuan to go to Huashan to persuade Yue and Cai not to practice the martial arts in the treasure book.

When they arrived at Huashan, Yue and Cai admitted that they had peeked at the treasure book. After apologizing, they turned to ask Master Du Yuan about the martial arts recorded in the treasure book. Little did they know that although Master Du Yuan was Master Hongye's favorite disciple, he had never practiced the Sunflower Treasure Book.

Zen Master Du Yuan was a martial arts expert and extremely intelligent. He memorized the scriptures and explained them at will. After staying in Huashan for eight days, he came down the mountain and copied the scriptures he had memorized on the cassock he was wearing.

The original text of the treasured scripture recorded by Yue and Cai was incomplete, and its value was greatly reduced after being re-told, but it was with the help of this incomplete treasured scripture that Zen Master Du Yuan created a peerless sword technique, which was the Exorcism Sword Technique!

Afterwards, Zen Master Du Yuan returned to secular life, changed his name to Lin Yuantu, and founded the Fuwei Escort Agency. With the help of his 72-way Sword Technique to Exorcise Evils, he was invincible in the underworld and made a great name in the world of martial arts!
Lin Yuantu is the ancestor of the Lin family, and the cassock in Lu Nanxing's hand is exactly the one that Lin Yuantu used to copy the treasure book, which is the legendary Sword Manual of Exorcism!

"go!"

Now that the Sword Manual of Exorcism was in hand, Lu Nanxing did not delay. He put the cassock into his arms, turned around and walked out of the Buddhist hall, came to the foot of the wall, and jumped out of the Lin family's old house.

Then we hurried back to the inn.

In order not to alarm others, he did not go through the main door, but climbed back into the room through the window.

Then he closed the doors and windows tightly, took out the Sword Manual of Exorcism from his arms, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

After a while, Lu Nanxing calmed down a little, spread the cassock on the table, and looked at it with the candlestick in his hand.

"It really is……"

The first sentence written on it was 'to dominate the martial arts world and castrate himself with a sword'. Although he had known it for a long time, Lu Nanxing still couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the sword manual with his own eyes.

Next, continue to look down, and you will see the specific techniques of cultivation.

Although the Exorcism Sword Technique is a sword technique, it needs to be practiced from the inner strength. Only with this unique inner strength can this strange and complicated sword technique be made extremely swift.

The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed, and only this unmatched speed of sword can create the invincible evil-repelling sword technique!
If one does not practice internal strength but only practices the techniques, he will be like Lin Zhennan, whose sword skills are only third-rate and have no substance.

"interesting."

As a top-notch martial art, both the theory and the specific explanation were at a level that Lu Nanxing had never encountered before, and he was astounded for a moment.

It was originally just a momentary curiosity, but gradually I became fascinated by it.

Then, subconsciously, he began to practice qigong according to the methods recorded in the sword manual.

But with just this slight attempt, a nameless fire of desire immediately rose from the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. After being stimulated by the kidney water, it not only did not extinguish, but instead was like adding fuel to the fire, along the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and was about to burn the whole body in an instant!
