Sword from Songshan

Chapter 56 If I Don't Castrate Myself
"Oops!"

Burning with desire and realizing that he had gone insane, Lu Nanxing's face suddenly changed.

He pulled his mind away from the sword manual and tried to stop it, but this nameless desire was so fierce that he could not resist it for a moment!

Buzz~!

Just when Lu Nanxing was anxious, the small wooden tripod vibrated slightly and a large amount of energy surged out.

These toxic energies are like clear springs, instantly suppressing the momentum of lust, and then slowly exerting force to force it back and consume it bit by bit, and finally completely eliminating it.

"Hoo~!"

After returning to normal, Lu Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the Sword Manual of Exorcism in front of him again, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

If I hadn't castrated myself, my skills would have been enhanced. What was written in the sword manual was indeed correct. Fortunately, I had the small wooden tripod to protect me.

Of course, even if there was no small wooden tripod, it would not be fatal, but it would inevitably cause damage to the body. As it is said in the sword manual, even if the fever stops, the injuries will not stop.

Imagine if the sword was fatal without self-castration, there would be no story in the original novel. After all, whether it was Yue Buqun or Lin Pingzhi, they would try it first after getting the sword manual, instead of cutting off their own swords right away.

"It is indeed a supreme sword..."

Although he almost suffered a loss just now, the mystery of the Exorcism Sword Technique made Lu Nanxing even more impressed.

After a slight hesitation, he looked again.

But this time, he was careful and alert, and did not practice subconsciously.

He read and pondered for half an hour before he finished reading the entire sword manual. Lu Nanxing let out a long sigh, his face full of excitement.

The more I explore, the more I find this Exorcism Sword Technique to be extremely mysterious!
"Oh~!"

Then, Lu Nanxing suddenly let out another long sigh.

Only eunuchs can practice such peerless swordsmanship. For a normal person like him, what is the difference between this and a eunuch going to a brothel?

No wonder Zen Master Hongye regarded the Sunflower Manual as a scourge and eventually burned it.

If this kind of thing spreads around, it will cause endless harm!
Thinking of this, Lu Nanxing couldn't help but admire Master Hongye's courage, as he was willing to burn such a magical skill.

At least he would definitely not be willing to do so.

Faced with such a magical skill, but unable to practice it, Lu Nanxing couldn't help but wonder, if it was possible to practice the Exorcism Sword Technique without castration?

Ordinary people couldn't do that, but he was different.

He has a small wooden tripod.

Just now, he was feeling hot and it was the small wooden tripod that quenched his lust.

If under the care of the small wooden tripod, is it possible for Lu Nanxing to overcome the problem of "heat generation" of the Exorcism Sword Technique?
"Copy it down first."

It is still difficult to say whether it will succeed or not.

Lu Nanxing stopped thinking about it for the time being. He took out the paper and pen he had prepared in advance, and began to carefully copy the sword manual in the light of the candlestick.

The entire cassock was covered with tiny handwriting, totaling several thousand words. Lu Nanxing copied more than twenty pages of paper before he finished.

Lu Nanxing threw the brush aside, let the copied sword manual dry, and sorted it into a book. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and stretch hard.

I turned my head and looked out the window, and saw white light in the east.

After a night of tossing and turning, Lu Nanxing was really tired. He took off his outer clothes and went to bed to rest. He carefully put away his cassock and secret book and placed them under his pillow before he fell asleep peacefully.

He slept for most of the day and woke up at dusk. Lu Nanxing simply washed up and asked the waiter to bring some food to the room.

Afterwards, he closed the doors and windows and ate while reading the copied sword manual.

Before he knew it, it was already late at night. Lu Nanxing hid the copied sword manual first, then climbed out of the window again, carrying the original cassock.

He was familiar with the route and went straight back to the Lin family's old house.

"Where is it..." In the original novel, Lin Zhennan's last words to Lin Pingzhi were, 'The things in the cellar of the old house are not allowed to be looked through.' This thing was identified by everyone as the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism.

In other words, according to Lin Zhennan's last words, the Sword Manual of Exorcism should have been hidden in the cellar of the old house, not on the roof of the Buddhist temple.

But Lu Nanxing searched the entire yard and didn't find any cellar.

Facts have proven that Lin Zhennan's last words were not accurate.

Did he do it on purpose?

Before his death, Lin Zhennan asked Linghu Chong to pass on the message. In order to prevent Linghu Chong from stealing the sword manual, he deliberately gave the wrong location?
That shouldn't be the case.

If Lin Zhennan knew the correct location and the sword manual hidden inside, how could he resist looking at it? If he had looked at it and knew that he had to castrate himself to practice this skill, how could he let his son go to find it?
As a father, knowing that Lin Pingzhi had found a good home, he could rest in peace and die. He would never let his son mutilate himself to avenge him.

If Lin Zhennan knew the correct location, but followed the ancestral teachings and did not look at what was inside, and did not know that the sword manual was hidden there, that would also be wrong.

Since he didn't know what was hidden inside, why would he give out a wrong location to guard against Linghu Chong?
Therefore, Lu Nanxing guessed that Lin Zhennan's will did not change the content, and the information he got from the previous generation was "the cellar of the old house in Xiangyang Township".

As for why his father said the wrong place, maybe something went wrong in the middle.

Or maybe it was Lin Zhongxiong, who could have traced it back to Lin Yuantu. He didn't want the descendants of the Lin family to practice this evil skill, but he couldn't bear to see such a unique skill lost, so he deliberately made it half-true and half-false.

The specific reason is unknown and no longer important.

The problem now is where Lu Nanxing can find a cellar. He can’t just dig one out right away.

"never mind."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Nanxing put the robe back to its original place.

Afterwards, he made some arrangements so that no one could tell that the sword manual had been tampered with, and then he left the Lin family's old house and returned to the inn.

In the following days, Lu Nanxing stayed in his room all day long and never went out. All meals were delivered by the waiter.

Apart from resting, he spent the rest of his time holding the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism and trying to practice.

And the results are almost the same as before.

As soon as he tried it, heat immediately generated in his body, and he had to use a small wooden tripod to put out the heat before he was safe.

But in this way, the cultivation would be interrupted and the internal skills of the Sword of Exorcism could not be practiced.

“…Give it a try!”

After repeating this many times, Lu Nanxing frowned for a long time and made up his mind.

After calming his mind, he tried to practice again. As soon as he started practicing, he began to feel heat. But this time, Lu Nanxing tried to control it, and the small wooden tripod did not release energy to dispel the heat immediately.

"Hmm~!"

In just a moment, Lu Nanxing collapsed to the ground due to the uncontrollable desire!

Buzz~!

When Lu Nanxing was about to lose consciousness, the small wooden tripod once again released a large amount of toxic energy, gradually eliminating the lust.

After a long while, Lu Nanxing finally got up from the ground.

"Ahem~!"

He coughed violently and spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

Although the small wooden tripod played a role in time, the burning desire just now had already damaged Lu Nanxing's meridians and body.

"No way..."

Lu Nanxing sat at the table, looking at the sword manual and thinking hard.

Could it be that even with the small wooden tripod, he would not be able to master the Exorcism Sword Technique without a uterus?
