Special War God

Chapter 39: Chi Fang Junjie Meeting

Shi Yinglei untied the sword from his waist and said, "This 'Chixiao' flying sword was accidentally found by my master. It is extremely sharp and can cut iron like mud. My master used it for thirty years and then passed it to my master. My master used it for another eighty years and then passed it to me. I carried it with me for another fifty years. Now, I pass it to Cen Hongxing. From now on, the 'Chixiao flying sword' is the token of the leader of my Tianyi Sect."

After saying that, he handed the Chixiao Flying Sword to Cen Hongxing, who immediately knelt down on his knees to take it.

Originally, Tianyi Sect did have a token of its leader, but no one understood why Shi Yinglei chose the "Chixiao Flying Sword" as the new token of his leader.

Shi Yinglei took out the thing that had been used as a token of the headmaster. It was a small blue plate, the material of which looked like jade but was not jade.

He said: "This 'Blue Dragon Token' is a token between Feng Yunzi, the 32nd generation leader of Tianyi Sect, and a pair of immortal lovers, Lu Chengyun and Liu Piaoxue. At that time, Feng Yunzi left a will that if Tianyi Sect was in trouble, they could use this token to seek help from the immortal couple. However, something happened to the sect later, and Qiu Daoyun, who held this token, unfortunately died. Since then, no one knows how to use this token. When Tianyi Sect really encountered a crisis, they were unable to find Lu Chengfeng and Liu Piaoxue.

Now more than a thousand years have passed, and the world has changed. Using this token as a token of the head has lost too much meaning..."

I will now give this thing called the "Blue Dragon Order" to Gu Xiu Zhang. It can be regarded as a souvenir I leave for you. When you see this "Blue Dragon Order", you should remember that you are also a part of Tianyi Sect. If one day you hear that Tianyi Sect is in trouble, you must go all out to help the sect like you did this time."

Gu Xiuzhan took it respectfully and put it carefully in his arms.

After Master Yinglei finished giving these instructions, he went to the back mountain to practice in seclusion. From then on, Tianyi Sect entered a new era with Cen Hongxing as the head of the sect.

The sect had gone through such a big change, and there were still many things to deal with. Xia and Gu Xiuzhang said goodbye to Cen Hongxing and left the place.

Looking back, the gate of Tianyi Sect seemed a little far away. Gu Xiuzhang felt confused, as if he was no longer a part of this place after just a few days. His parents were gone, and the sect regarded him as an outsider. He felt as if he had become a homeless orphan.

Seeing that Gu Xiuzhang was in low spirits, Xia Zhongnan comforted him, saying, "There is a saying in my hometown, 'The farther away from parents, the stronger the wings of children.' We are all 'homeless' now, and we can only rely on ourselves to fight for the future..."

As he spoke, he also sighed.

After returning to the 13th Army's camp, Gu Xiuzhang devoted himself to training and practicing swordsmanship. Xia Zhongnan was busy all the time, not only coordinating the military training of the entire 13th Army, but also taking time to study the formation with Lu Mingyuan.

After practicing Xia Zhongnan's "Santong Gong", Lu Mingyuan successfully advanced to the Qi Transformation Realm and became a cultivator. His talent in the art of formations also began to show. Xia Zhongnan explained more ancient Chinese philosophical theories to him in a timely manner, such as the "Book of Changes", and wrote down the original ancient text of "Santong Qi" for him.

This knowledge, combined with the formation theory passed down from Lu Mingyuan's ancestors, seemed to open a door to the way of formation for him.

Xia Zhongnan and he jointly developed steel needles made of black iron. These steel needles are easy to carry. At critical moments, they can insert several black iron steel needles into the soil according to the terrain, and quickly mobilize the Yuan Qi magnetic field to build a temporary composite formation.

In addition to being busy with these things, Xia Zhongnan did not relax his own practice. The practice of "San Tong Gong" progressed smoothly, and he began to focus on the study of martial arts.

His shooting skills are derived from the "bayonet fighting" of the Chinese Army. In a head-on confrontation in a narrow space, this shooting skill is extremely powerful. With the momentum of the shooting, he is enough to be called one of the masters of the same level.

However, this kind of shooting also has obvious limitations. If you encounter a truly skilled opponent in an open area, once the opponent has figured out his routine, he will only be in a passive situation of being beaten.

Therefore, he needs to make his marksmanship more comprehensive and eliminate his shortcomings.

So, Xia Zhongnan found Liu Dabazi and others and asked them if they had any excellent gunmanship secrets to provide him, like the "Thirty-Six Swords Chasing the Wind" in Gu Xiuzhan's hand.

Unfortunately, however, Liu Dabaizi and others are not good at using firearms, so naturally they have no gun skills secrets to provide.

After careful consideration, Xia Zhongnan decided to create his own set of shooting techniques. Wasn't the bayonet action the result of the long-term actual combat experience of hundreds of thousands or even millions of Chinese military veterans?

Why can't Xia Zhongnan create his own set of shooting skills?

Although it is easy to talk about the principle, it is extremely difficult to actually create something.

The first thing he considered was to integrate the formation theory he was studying into the gun technique. What kind of gun technique should he create based on these ideas, such as the complementary nature of yin and yang and the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements?

For a moment, he was completely confused.

In this way, about forty days passed.

On this day, Xia Zhongnan and Gu Xiuzhan in the military camp each received an invitation with a specific date indicated. A party called "Chifang Junjie Gathering" would be held in Suiyuan, Chifang City on a certain day of a certain year. The ones who invited them were the signatories Xu Qin and Xu Qian, and the party would be held three days later.

The two people who saw the invitation guessed that "Xu Qian" should be the woman they met last time, the daughter of the governor Xu Dejing, and the other one was probably Xu Qian's sister.

Although they had met Xu Qian once before, they didn't have a deep friendship with her, and even had some aversion to her. Especially since Liu Dabazi had warned them not to publicize what Xu Qian did, and not to harbor resentment, they kept a respectful distance from Xu Qian. After receiving the invitation, the two naturally threw it aside and ignored it.

However, three days later, Liu Dabazi called them over and asked them with a hint of sarcasm: "The weather is very good today. Did you forget something?"

Gu Xiuzhang remained silent, and Xia Zhongnan said with a playful smile: "General, you see, although I have been very busy recently, all matters are still proceeding in an orderly manner. I really can't think of any important things that I have forgotten."

Liu Dabazi glanced at him and said, "So, the governor's office sent someone to give each of you an invitation, inviting you to attend the 'Chifang Junjie Meeting' in Suiyuan today, but I haven't seen you yet. I thought I had detained you and they were looking for me!"

Xia Zhongnan responded in surprise: "General, we did receive the invitation, but it did not specify that we must be present. Considering the busy military affairs, we did not plan to go."
