The first taboo in the world

The next morning, although it was already midsummer, it was very cool on Mount Huashan. The cool mountain breeze blew slowly, making people indescribably comfortable and refreshing.

After Xu Zifan freshened up, he came to the "Sword Qi Chongxiao Hall". After paying homage to the Patriarch of Huashan today, he will officially become a disciple of Huashan - an outer disciple.

Not long after Xu Zifan arrived at the "Sword Qi Chongxiao Hall", many people came. Some were Yue Buqun, who was wearing a blue shirt and shaking a folding fan, and some were wearing light blue clothes. Ning Zhongze, who is upright and upright, and Laudno, who is wearing a gray gown, has a kind face, and is about forty or fifty years old.

In addition, there are two children, one is the fifteen-year-old Linghu Chong, who looks bohemian, and the other is the seven-year-old Yue Lingshan, who is cute and clever.

At this moment, Yue Lingshan was seen chasing after Linghu Chong. "Eldest Brother, Eldest Brother, don't run away, give me the flower in your hand quickly."

"Little Junior Sister, if you catch me, I'll give it to you, haha." Linghu Chong, the young man running in front, said with a smile as he ran.

"Shan'er, Chong'er, stop fooling around, Denuo, go and arrange incense and candles for your junior brother Xu to pay homage to the souls of the ancestors of our sect," Mrs. Yue said at this time.

Lauderno next to him responded: "Yes!"

After a while, the arrangements were completed. Yue Buqun led everyone to the back hall. Xu Zifan looked up and saw a plaque between the beams with the four characters "Use Qi to Control the Sword" written on it. The hall was solemnly decorated, with long swords hanging on the two walls. The scabbard is dark and the sword tassel is old. It should be the sword of the ancestors of the Huashan Sect.

At this time, Yue Buqun knelt down in front of the incense table, kowtowed four times, and prayed: "Disciple Yue Buqun, today I accept Xu Zifan from Fuzhou Prefecture as my disciple. May the spirits of the ancestors in heaven bless me, teach Xu Zifan to study hard, be clean, love himself, and abide by the law." The sect’s rules are to prevent the reputation of the Huashan Sect from being ruined.”

When Xu Zifan saw Yue Buqun kneeling down, he also knelt down respectfully.

Yue Buqun stood up and said solemnly: "Xu Zifan, when you join our Huashan sect today, you must abide by the sect rules. If you violate the rules, you will be punished according to the severity of the case. Those who commit the most heinous crimes will not be pardoned. This sect has been based in the martial arts for hundreds of years. Although you can compete with other sects in terms of martial arts, the momentary victory or defeat is insignificant. What really matters is that all disciples of our sect cherish the reputation of their master. You must remember this section carefully. .”

Xu Zifan replied: "Yes, I will remember my master's teachings."

Yue Buqun said again: "Linghu Chong, recite the rules of our sect so that Xu Zifan can learn them."

Linghu Chong said: "Yes, Junior Brother Xu, listen carefully. The first commandment of our sect is to bully the master and destroy the ancestors, and disrespect the elders. The second commandment is to bully the weak and harm the innocent. The third commandment is to commit adultery and lust, and molest women. The fourth commandment is to be jealous of fellow sect members. Kill each other. The five precepts are selfish and steal property. The six precepts are arrogant and offend others. The seven precepts are promiscuous with gangsters and collude with evil spirits. These are the seven precepts of Huashan. All disciples of our sect must abide by them."

Xu Zifan replied: "Yes, remember the Seven Precepts of Mount Huashan, follow them diligently, and dare not violate them."

Yue Buqun smiled and said: "Okay, that's all. Our sect is not like other sects, which have many clear rules and precepts. You only need to abide by these seven precepts, always remember that benevolence and righteousness come first, and be a gentleman. Master and wife will Very happy."

Xu Zifan responded: "Yes, I will live up to Master's expectations." After saying this, he bowed to his master, his wife, his brothers and his sisters.

Yue Buqun looked at Xu Zifan with a smile and said: "Have a good time practicing. If you need anything or don't understand anything, you can ask the two senior brothers, or the master and the master. It doesn't matter if you are older. If you practice hard, you will be rewarded!"

"Yes, master, I understand!" Xu Zifan responded.

"Zifan, these are the swordsmanship and internal skills of my Huashan sect. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. If I'm not here, you can ask your senior wife. Senior brother, practice well!" Yue Buqun took it from his sleeve at this time. He took out two thin books and said.

"In addition, since you are just getting started, you need to lay a solid foundation first. Stand on the Wuji Zhuang for two hours every day and learn martial arts. Don't aim too high. The foundation is the most important thing!" Yue Buqun continued.

"Yes, master!" Xu Zifan responded.

"De Nuo, arrange for your junior brother to live in the disciple room No. 3, and teach him the Wuji Zhuang Zhanzhu technique!" Yue Buqun ordered again.

"Yes, Master!" Lauderno responded, and then said to Xu Zifan: "Junior Brother Xu, come here!"

Xu Zifan followed Lauderno.

"Junior Brother Xu, the master is so kind to you. Disciple Room B and No. 3 is reserved for the inner disciples. I didn't expect that it was given to you." Lauderno said as he walked.

"Senior Brother Lao, what is the difference between the rooms of disciples No. 3 and 3 of the outer disciples?" Xu Zifan inquired.

"The rooms for the entire Group B disciples are generally larger. The most important thing is that they are close to the master and the wife. If you have any questions, you can ask them easily." Laudno responded.

Is it close to Yue Buqun? Xu Zifan pondered.

"Senior Brother Lao, who is next to room B and No. 3?" Xu Zifan asked again.

"No. 1 is Senior Brother B, No. 2 is me, No. 3 is assigned to you, No. 4 and others are still available!" Laudno replied.

While walking and chatting, Xu Zifan followed Laudno to Room B3 after a while.

This place is the residence of the Huashan Sect leader, elders, and inner disciples. It is divided into two rows of buildings. The rooms in Group B are in the second row, and the rooms in the front row are the rooms in Group A, where the heads and elders live.

The entire room in No. B3 was an exquisite wooden cabin. Xu Zifan opened the door and went in. He saw that it was about twelve or thirteen square meters inside, with a wooden bed, a wooden table, a wooden chair, and nothing else.

There were spider webs everywhere in the house, and it was obvious that no one had lived in it for a long time.

"Junior Brother Xu, Brother, there is an extra set of bedding for the bed. I will bring it for you to make do with. You can buy some new ones after you go down the mountain." Laudno said next to him.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lao!" Xu Zifan quickly expressed his thanks.

After he finished cleaning the room, Laudno had already brought a stack of gray bedding and a colorful pillow. Although it was not new, it was quite clean.

"Junior Brother Xu, you clean up the room first, and I'll teach you Wuji Zhuan in the afternoon!" Laudno said after putting down the quilt.

"Okay, Senior Brother Lao Nuo is here!" Xu Zifan responded happily.

After a morning of tidying up, Xu Zifan lay on the bed, looking at the roof beams, a little excited, starting a new life today.

In the afternoon, at the martial arts training ground, Xu Zifan and Lauderno stood opposite each other.

"Junior Brother Xu, when practicing this stance, your body must be in a highly relaxed state, with mind and form united, yin and yang in harmony, formless and imageless, just like this." As he said this, Laudno demonstrated in person.

Xu Zifan immediately followed Zhanzhuang.

"This mental method is: after relaxing the body, visualize yourself becoming one with the vast universe. The vitality of heaven and earth enters the body from the Baihui point on the top of the head, slowly flows into the Dantian, and enters the state of selflessness." Laudno added.

Xu Zifan looked serious and determined, and followed the instructions.

Then Lauderno taught some precautions, corrected the incorrect points in Xu Zifan's movements and said: "Junior brother Xu, the Wuji pile is the best way to maintain health and is a good pile method for laying the foundation. You have to practice it well, and senior brother will not excuse me!"

Xu Zifan said: "Okay!"

Then Xu Zifan followed Yue Buqun's instructions and stood for two hours every day. At first, he could only stand for more than ten minutes. Then Xu Zifan persisted until he couldn't stand anymore, and the time he stood every day became longer and longer, until three months. Finally, he could stand still for two hours at a stretch.

Time passes slowly, like water passing by. In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since Xu Zifan came to Huashan.

In the past two years, he has spent most of his time immersed in Huashan Bookstore. He is learning the basics of martial arts, understanding the body's veins, acupuncture points, and various professional terms in martial arts.

In the past two years, Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan have also grown a lot. Linghu Chong became more bohemian, liked to joke around, and often went down the mountain to buy wine secretly. Several times I asked Xu Zifan to drink with him, but Xu Zifan refused.

Xu Zifan knew in his heart that in the real world, the road ahead was confusing and all kinds of weird things were happening. He had to improve his strength quickly. How could he dare to waste his time drinking with an underage boy.

Besides, he didn't really like Linghu Chong's character through the original work. It’s okay to be bohemian, it’s okay to joke around, it’s okay to like freedom, it’s okay to be bold and unrestrained, cheerful and open-minded, chivalrous, etc. are indeed shining points.

But the only thing he forgot was responsibility, the responsibility a man should bear.

As for Yue Lingshan, she has become more and more beautiful in the past two years. She is a beauty, and she is also more clingy, but she is not clinging to herself, but to Linghu Chong. Regarding this, Xu Zifan is very relaxed.

In fact, Xu Zifan was about ten years younger than Yue Buqun. Although he was of a lower generation, in the eyes of Yue Lingshan and other disciples, he was just like Laudenault, an older senior brother, and not fun at all.

Xu Zifan, on the other hand, was either reading in the bookstore or practicing swordsmanship and standing stances every day. He couldn't play with them at all.

On the contrary, Yue Buqun admired Xu Zifan's actions very much, and often used Xu Zifan's hard training as an example to teach and criticize several playful disciples. In this way, Xu Zifan was even more incompatible with many disciples.

In the past two years, Huashan has accepted another disciple. He lives next door to Xu Zifan. His name is Liang Fa. He is not old, but has a tall body and good martial arts talent. He is the third inner disciple of Huashan Sect Yue Buqun.

In the past two years, Xu Zifan has built a solid foundation in martial arts knowledge. He still remembers the embarrassment of not being able to read the evil sword manual when he received it. But now it is no problem. He also believes that most martial arts books in the world are now available. Put it in front of him, he can at least understand it and know how to practice it. Even if some words and phrases have changed their meaning due to the passage of time, he can basically deduce them.

Of course, he also has a good foundation in swordsmanship. Among the basic swordsmanship of Huashan, he has Baiyun Chuxiu, Youfeng Laiyi, Tianshen Hanging upside down, White Rainbow Penetrating the Sun, Green Pines Welcome Guests, Golden Wild Geese Crossing the Sky, Boundless Falling Trees, Green Mountains Gloomy, and Ancient Cypresses. , Unparalleled, Unparalleled, Full of Gold and Jade, his training is very standard, upright and strict, at least from the outside it looks no different from what Yue Buqun used.
