Sword from Songshan

Chapter 91 Nine Yin and Nine Yang
September 21st coincides with the Cold Dew Day, the fire sinks to the west, and the autumn atmosphere gradually deepens.

Zhong Zhen died suddenly, leaving the position of the Fifth Protector vacant. The Sixth Protector Tang Ying'e suggested that Lu Nanxing take over. Zuo Lengchan nodded happily, while Ding Mian and other protectors remained silent.

Thus, the new Thirteen Guardians were officially confirmed:
Ding Mian, the Great Guardian and the Tower-Bearing Hand
Zuo Feiying, the Second Guardian, with the Nine Tribulations Whip

Fei Bin, the Third Guardian and the Great Songyang Hand

The fourth big yin and yang hand is lehou

The Five Great Guardians Songyang Heavy Sword Lu Nanxing
The Sixth Guardian, the Gray Bearded Iron Palm, Tang Ying'e
The Seventh Guardian Iron Mountain Tiger Zhao Sihai

Eight Thieves Gun Zhang Jingchao
The Nine Guardians picked Sima De
The White-haired Immortal Bu Chen

Eleven Taibao Vulture Sha Tianjiang

Twelve Guardians Divine Whip Deng Bagong

The Thirteenth Taibao Jinmao Lion Gao Kexin
Although the candidate has been determined, the new Taibao must make a pledge of allegiance before officially taking over in order to prove his position and strength to the sect and the world.

Good and evil cannot coexist. As the righteous sect, the Songshan sect naturally has to surrender to the evil sect.

Destroy an evil lair, kill an evil master, any punishment for evil is fine, there are no specific requirements.

Since he was able to succeed the position of Grand Protector, his martial arts must have reached a first-class level. There are many evil demons and heretics, and it is not difficult to submit a letter of surrender. It can be done in a few days at the fastest and a year and a half at the slowest. There is no time limit.

The candidate for the new Grand Protector was decided, and there was no objection from anyone in the sect. Lu Nanxing and Zuo Feiying both succeeded as Grand Protector at the same time, which was a win-win situation for both forces.

So, the six of them immediately went down the mountain to submit their surrender!
Zhao Sihai, Zhang Jingchao and Sima De went south together, targeting several branches of the Demon Cult in the south.

Deng Bagong and Gao Kexin went east to eradicate several evil gangs.

Zuo Feiying ranked the highest and was also the most controversial this time. In order to prove himself, he went straight to Hebei, where the Demon Cult's headquarters was located, and left a bold statement that he would take the head of a Demon Cult elder!
No matter they were targeting a particular force or certain individuals, Zuo Feiying and his four companions would lead the crowd down the mountain. Some had dozens of disciples, while others had four or five masters.

Only Lu Nanxing went west alone.

"I hope it wasn't a wasted trip!"

Riding on the horse, Lu Nanxing had a serious expression.

With twenty years of practice, and the three superior martial arts of Juque Sword Technique, Golden Snake Sword Technique, and Great Songyang Divine Palm, supplemented by the strong energy, Lu Nanxing has become a first-rate third-level master.

If combined with the poison palm, there will be few rivals among the three levels.

Among his peers, he is already far ahead.

How can a person be satisfied? Once he gets something, he will always want more and immediately lower his goal to the second level.

But it is not easy to go further.

Either one must have profound skills, or at least thirty or forty years of internal cultivation, otherwise one will not be able to completely suppress third or fourth tier masters.

Either one has a unique skill, such as the Exorcism Sword Technique or the Dugu Nine Swords, otherwise there is no absolute advantage.

If it has both, then it is considered a first-class item.

Toxins can assist in the cultivation of internal strength. The internal strength of the Twelve Circulation Qigong increases rapidly, but if Lu Nanxing wants to reach the level of thirty or forty years of practice, he will have to practice hard for several years.

A few years is not long in the context of a lifetime.

But in today's martial arts world, with Liu Zhengfeng's retirement from the underworld, the plot of the original novel has already begun, and in the next two or three short years, there has been a huge change!
If Lu Nanxing continued to practice step by step, he was afraid that it would be too late.

As for treasures that can quickly enhance internal strength, although Lu Nanxing knew some, they were basically extinct.

In this case, it would be more reliable to find a unique skill!
Furthermore, if you want to be promoted to the top level in the future, you will still need unique skills.

Where does the unique skill come from?

Although Lu Nanxing has obtained the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism, he is reluctant to use it on himself, so he can only watch but not practice.

Lu Nanxing also knew where the comparable Dugu Nine Swords was, but he was not a disciple of the Huashan Sect, so Feng Qingyang would definitely not teach him.

In the Meizhuang dungeon at the bottom of the West Lake, there is an iron plate on the bed engraved with the Star Absorbing Technique, but Ren Woxing has not checked out yet, so how can Lu Nanxing go to see it?

Furthermore, although the Star Absorbing Technique is powerful, in the later stages, if the various internal forces cannot be integrated into one, there is a danger of internal force backlash.

Looking at the original work, there are only these three unique skills in the book "Swordsman".

If you can't get it at the moment, you have no choice but to look for other options.

The world is vast, and there are more than just three unique martial arts. The Shaolin Temple's Scripture Library alone contains countless unique martial arts, such as the Yi Jin Jing.

However, there are countless people throughout the ages who have coveted the Shaolin Temple's Scripture Library, but almost none of them have had a good ending.

With Lu Nanxing's current martial arts skills, trying to sneak into the Shaolin Temple's Scripture Library to secretly learn martial arts is tantamount to seeking death.

There are Shaolin in the South, Wudang in the North, and the Wudang Sect is similar.

In fact, all those old and wealthy families have some hidden martial arts, but it is extremely difficult for outsiders to obtain them.

In this case, I can only change direction and look for those ownerless unique skills.

If we go back one dynasty, wouldn’t there be few magical powers in the Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy?
"Nine Yang Magic Skill! Nine Yin Manual!"

The first thing Lu Nanxing thought of was the Nine Yin and Nine Yang!
He had some guesses about the whereabouts of these two magical skills, but it had been two or three hundred years, so he needed to verify on the spot whether they were still there.

This time I went down the mountain to look for these two peerless magical skills.

As for the letter of surrender, the Sun Moon Divine Sect is very powerful, and all kinds of evil ways are rampant in the martial arts world. If they meet them, they can just kill a few of them and be done with it.

He was not as aggressive as Zuo Feiying, who was determined to kill a cult elder.

Riding at full speed, two or three days later, Lu Nanxing entered Shaanxi from Henan.

The Nine Yin Scriptures was written by Huang Shang in the Northern Song Dynasty. After the book was completed, it caused a bloody storm. It was not until the Five Supreme Swordsmen Contested at Mount Hua that this peerless magic skill found its destination.

After Wang Chongyang's death, the scriptures were passed around and even separated into two volumes. They were finally reunited in the hands of the great hero Guo Jing.

After Xiangyang City fell, Guo Jing and his wife died for their country and hid the true scriptures in the sword.

After the entire Yuan Dynasty, it was not until Zhou Zhiruo slayed the dragon and Yitian fought against each other that the scripture was seen again. Zhou Zhiruo was short-lived, and the true scripture finally flowed into Zhang Wuji's hands.

As the country changed hands, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min decided to retreat and live in Mongolia. The whereabouts of the Nine Yin Scriptures remain unknown.

During this process, Jiuyin Zhen has passed through many people and has been copied many times. The original book has long been nowhere to be found, but there are actually some copies left.

After analyzing the ideas, Lu Nanxing believed that there was a true scripture that was most likely to be preserved.

It’s the one in the Tomb of the Living Dead in Zhongnan Mountain!
When Wang Chongyang got the Nine Yin Manual, he swore not to practice it, and did not allow Quanzhen disciples to practice it, so there is no Nine Yin in Quanzhen. But after Lin Chaoying's death, he visited the ancient tomb and saw that Lin Chaoying had broken all Quanzhen martial arts. He was dissatisfied and in rebuttal, he carved a copy of the Nine Yin Manual in the secret room of the ancient tomb!
The Tomb Clan was already known to very few people, and no one except Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu could enter the Tomb Clan. Although a yellow-shirted woman appeared later, she was probably a descendant of Yang Guo.

But if there are no special circumstances, the Nine Yin Scriptures in the ancient tomb are likely to be preserved!

Shaanxi and Henan are adjacent to each other, and Lu Nanxing's first stop this time is to go to the ancient tomb of Zhongnan Mountain to look for the stone carvings of the Nine Yin Scriptures left by Wang Chongyang.

"One upper room."

It was getting darker, and after several days of traveling, they finally arrived at a small town. Lu Nanxing was not in a hurry to get down the mountain this time, so he simply found an inn to stay overnight, rest well, and prepare some dry food and water, and set off again tomorrow morning.

Although the inn is not big, it is clean.

After dinner, the waiter brought some hot water. Lu Nanxing soaked his feet in it and all his fatigue was gone.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, practiced internal energy for a while, then took off his clothes and went to sleep.

"Ok?"

At night, Lu Nanxing suddenly woke up from his sleep.

poisonous!

A white smoke filled the room. After being inhaled through the mouth and nose, it was immediately absorbed by the small wooden tripod.

The small wooden tripod only absorbs toxins.

Lu Nanxing lay motionless on the bed, trying to trace the source of the problem. He saw a bamboo tube poking through the window screen and coming in, releasing thick white smoke.

who?

Lu Nanxing remained calm, but couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Using poison to deal with him was courting death.

This is an extremely strong smoke spell, but unfortunately, Lu Nanxing had used it before and did not light up the pattern on the small wooden tripod.

He lay still, watching what would happen.

After a tube of poisonous smoke was released, another stick of incense passed, and when the poisonous smoke in the house dissipated, the window was opened.

A man covered his mouth and nose with a scarf and walked straight to Lu Nanxing's bed.

Looking at Lu Nanxing lying motionless, he narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand to press Lu Nanxing's acupoints.

Hurrah~!

As soon as he raised his hand, Lu Nanxing slapped him!
The man's eyes suddenly widened. Although he was surprised, his hands were not at all flustered. He pressed down with both palms to directly block Lu Nanxing's palm.

At the same time, with the help of Lu Nanxing's palm power, he leaped back a few steps, temporarily keeping some distance, and looked at Lu Nanxing with suspicion.

"Uncle Fei, there's no need to hide anything between you and me."

Lu Nanxing got off the bed and said with a chuckle.

The other person frowned slightly and took off the mask on his face. It was Fei Bin!

After staring at Lu Nanxing for a while, Fei Bin's eyes were filled with suspicion. Lu Nanxing was not poisoned.

Hurrah~!

He was puzzled but didn't say anything. Fei Bin raised his palm and rushed over.

Lu Nanxing's face darkened, and he didn't bother to say anything more, but raised his palm to greet him.

Both were using the Great Songyang Divine Palm. In this small guest room, the two men had already fought each other.

The palm wind was fierce and accompanied by a heavy muffled sound.

After more than a dozen moves, Fei Bin's eyes turned cold and he used all his strength to hit Lu Nanxing.

Facing Fei Bin's fierce palm, Lu Nanxing did not hesitate and directly met it with a palm.

Bang~!

The two palms came together with a heavy, dull sound like thunder, and Lu Nanxing and Fei Bin both took several steps back.

"As expected of the Great Songyang Hand."

He put his strength on his feet and stood firm, and Lu Nanxing praised him.

Fei Bin's palm power is the strongest among all the people Lu Nanxing has fought with!

"How can it be……"

Fei Bin looked at Lu Nanxing with a face full of shock.

Although he didn't use 100% of his strength just now, he used about 80% or 90%, but he still failed to take down Lu Nanxing!
The most important thing is, Lu Nanxing's palm strike just now, in terms of palm power alone, is not weaker than his at all!

How come Lu Nanxing has only been practicing the Great Songyang Divine Palm and has developed such a powerful palm force!
How could he know that what Lu Nanxing was using was not palm power, but internal energy.

"Could it be that he got the inspiration from that secret record of Bai Xiaosheng again?"

Fei Bin recalled that Lu Nanxing once said that he was inspired by the Bai Xiaosheng Secret Records and created the broadsword version of Songshan Swordsmanship.

No matter how talented one is, it is impossible to develop such palm power in a short period of time. It must be because of that book!

Lu Nanxing smiled and let Fei Bin imagine whatever he wanted without explaining.

Then his face darkened and he asked in a cold voice.

"Master uncle came to visit me late at night and disturbed my sweet dreams. I don't know why. I don't remember how I offended Master uncle."

"Stop talking nonsense! Hand over the treasure map!"

"Treasure Map?"

Lu Nanxing blinked his eyes, pretending to be ignorant because of this matter.

"Where did you get the treasure map?"

"Don't try to fool me! Since you came out of the snake cave safely, you must have got the treasure map of Jianwen's treasure!"

Having said this, Fei Bin suddenly woke up.

Yes, Lu Nanxing was bitten by a poisonous snake that day, but he was able to come out safe and sound. Tonight was the same, with such a large amount of incense, he was not hurt at all.

Could it be that he has some secret method to avoid poison?

"Oh~!"

Lu Nanxing sighed, looking regretful.

"Uncle Master, you also said that it was a snake cave. That day, Uncle Master left me to escape alone. I was surrounded by snakes and almost died. It was lucky that I was able to escape. How could I continue to go into the cave and get the treasure map?"

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? I went back and caught a disciple of the Five Poison Sect to find out more. You stayed in there for several hours and came out at dawn. How could you not get the treasure map after such a long time?"

"Since Master Uncle doesn't believe me, then I can't do anything about it."

Lu Nanxing sighed, then got ready.

Seeing that Lu Nanxing was about to take action again, Fei Bin stood there without moving. After pondering for a while, he turned around and jumped out of the window.

"……gone."

Lu Nanxing walked to the window, but Fei Bin was no longer visible in the darkness.

He closed the window again and frowned.

Long before, he had anticipated that Fei Bin would not give up on the matter of Jianwen's treasure.

During these days in the mountain, Fei Bin had not taken any action and did not even mention this matter, which surprised Lu Nanxing a little.

But what is coming cannot be avoided, and Fei Bin did not give up. As soon as Lu Nanxing came down the mountain, he followed.

"It's troublesome."

Although it is not the treasure of Emperor Jianwen, this search for the Nine Yins and Nine Yangs is indeed a treasure hunt.

If Fei Bin gets entangled with me, there will be many inconveniences.

The next morning, Lu Nanxing prepared dry food and water and set off early.

After leaving the town and walking a few miles, I found someone following me. Who else could it be but Fei Bin?

Lu Nanxing frowned, then rode his horse quickly, and Fei Bin behind him also sped up.

For the rest of the journey, when Lu Nanxing sped up, Fei Bin sped up too, and when Lu Nanxing stopped, Fei Bin stopped too, sticking to him like a maggot on his tarsal bone.

Two days later, seeing that they were not far from Zhongnan Mountain, Lu Nanxing couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

Does that mean we should take Fei Bin to the Tomb of the Living Dead?

Lu Nanxing guessed that Fei Bin thought he came down the mountain this time in a hurry to dig for Jianwen's treasure, so he followed him so closely.

It becomes increasingly difficult to get rid of him.

"No."

Lu Nanxing had a serious expression. The Nine Yin Scriptures might be in the Tomb of the Living Dead, so Fei Bin must not be allowed to go with him.

"Then just follow me!"

After a moment of hesitation, Lu Nanxing showed a sneer on his face.

He shook the reins, increased the speed again, passed Zhongnan Mountain, and headed straight for the Western Regions!
Nine Yin and Nine Yang, why not find any one of them first? He would go to find the Nine Yang Divine Art first, and then come back and go to the Tomb of the Living Dead to find the Nine Yin Scriptures.

Since Fei Bin is willing to follow, then let’s go with him to the Western Regions!
