Yongle fifteenth year, Sunflower Temple.

Sunflower Temple is located in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing. It has a brown mud wall with a bell tower built on it. However, the wooden railings are in disrepair and have mottled red paint. They may not have been repaired for several years. Passers-by are afraid that the giant bell here may break down at any time.

Whenever you fall down, try to avoid the bell tower. This temple is located under a huge rock on the mountainside. If you don't look carefully from a distance, it is inconspicuous and cannot be noticed at all. There is a well surrounded by earth at the entrance of the temple, and an old dog is lying on it.

On the ground, he fell asleep under the scorching sun. Occasionally he wagged his tail, breaking the tranquility in the mountains.

In the Zen room of the temple, a thin and small old monk was sitting on a futon in meditation with his hands bent in the boundary mudra, and softly reciting the Diamond Sutra. Opposite him, sitting a young man, also

The swordsman in white was meditating. Green smoke floated from the copper incense burner next to him, and the smell of agarwood filled the Zen room. The temperature on the mountain was close to snowy season, but the two of them were only wearing thin shirts.

After reciting the Diamond Sutra for a long time, the old monk said, "You have already learned the Sunflower Sword Technique, what else do you want?"

The swordsman in white said: "Master, I still can't defeat the half-faced man, how can I go further?"

"Why don't you ask why the half-faced man beat you?"

"Ask me?"

The old monk opened his eyes and said slowly: "Sunflower swordsmanship is the fastest swordsmanship in the world. The 19th style only attacks but not defends. Why can he be faster than you?"

"Because..." The swordsman in white seemed to know something, but he couldn't grasp the idea.

"Duo, it's the inner demon!"

"Master, what is my inner demon?"

"Duo, I don't care about life or death, so I'm faster."

"Master, do I care about life and death? I...Master, you are right. I can't let go of life and death."

"Duo, you can't let go of life and death, you can't let go of the past, and you can't let go of your throne."

When the word "throne" was mentioned, the swordsman in white couldn't restrain his emotions. He forgot that he was talking to his master and raised his voice: "What do you know? You know how wronged I have been. The traitor said that I favored the traitor and wanted to appease him! Wow!

Hahaha! Jing is in trouble, whose trouble is Jing? Have you ever seen a minister make such monstrous words to deceive the public into rebellion?"

"So what, the past is over, you are no longer the emperor, you are the white sunflower. Cao Shixin sent you here to protect you, to cultivate your character, and to avoid the disputes in the world, not to practice the sunflower sword technique."

"Yes, Master, I secretly learned the Sunflower Sword Technique because I want to get back everything I have."

"This is the inner demon."

"How much have I sacrificed for the Sunflower Sword Technique? Why don't the Cao family practice it themselves? It turns out there is something wrong with the Sunflower Sword Technique."

The old monk said softly: "If Cao Shixin hadn't introduced you, you wouldn't have had the chance to practice Sunflower Sword Technique. In this world, existence has its own reasons, and karma circulates, and there must be a cause if there is an effect. If you don't practice Buddhism, restrain your inner demons

, you will eventually be controlled by the demon in your heart. Cao Shixin does not practice Sunflower Sword Technique, just because this sword technique is both a god and a demon. Sunflower Sword Technique is too powerful, and if you practice this overbearing Yin energy, you will eventually hurt your body.

heart of."

The swordsman in white got up and paced back and forth in the Zen room, circle after circle, looking very anxious, "I can't stand it anymore, I want to kill Yu Xiaoyuan, kill Jin Fuli, kill all the Assassin family members, and then kill

Get rid of King Zhu Di of Yan, the traitor who took my throne."

The old monk stopped replying, closed his eyes and recited the Diamond Sutra. This sutra was recited through the old monk's mouth, with huge internal power and power, which shocked the internal power of the white-clothed swordsman, and the true energy emitted by the old monk was intertwined and surging.

, and the internal power of the Sunflower Sword Technique resonated. This was the old monk using his internal power of Buddhism to suppress the inner demons in the swordsman in white.

The old monk, whose Buddhist name is Xuewei, was a person from the late Yuan Dynasty and has been guarding Sunflower Temple to this day.

The swordsman in white is Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen.

At that time, Cao Shixin instructed Zhu Yunwen to hide in Sunflower Temple, but in order to keep this secret, Cao had to kill himself, guarding it with his own life, and taking this secret away from the world.

The truth of Sunflower Temple is not just a dilapidated temple, but no one would have thought that Kuaihua Temple contains profound martial arts - Sunflower Swordsmanship. Past abbots have had contacts with the Cao family. Cao Shixin is familiar with Xuewei, the abbot of Sunflower Temple, and knows that he is a low-key person.

And with outstanding martial arts skills, he will be able to protect Emperor Jianwen. When Xuewei saw the recommendation letter from the Cao family, he took Zhu Yunwen in without any doubt. In fact, he did not know Zhu Yunwen's true identity. Later, he gradually became acquainted with him, and Zhu Yunwen revealed the truth. Apart from death,

Apart from Cao Shi, only the old monk Xuewei knew that Zhu Yunwen was hiding in Sunflower Temple.

The origin of the Sunflower Sword Technique is mysterious and unusual. At the end of the Song Dynasty, a eunuch accidentally found a martial arts secret book in the palace's Sutra Pavilion. He then began to practice it out of curiosity, and achieved great success, defeating invincible opponents all over the world. He accidentally met Cao Xiao, an ancestor of the Cao family.

Tai, this eunuch did not understand the rules of the world, and he only wanted to practice martial arts to a higher level, so he sought communication and advice from the then leader of the Cao family, Cao Xiaotai. Cao Xiaotai tried to practice the Sunflower Sword Technique, but found that

It is difficult to move due to obstacles, and it is easy to get carried away as soon as you get started. You cannot easily cross the method of exerting internal force like a eunuch.

Later, after careful consideration, the two of them realized that the Sunflower Sword Technique was created by a woman, and the main practice was the Yin energy in the Yang meridians. The principle is very similar to the Yin Yi in Yugu Liangyi Gong, but the power is several times more domineering, so

It is difficult for ordinary men to practice. But eunuchs are special people. They are born with disabilities and lack of yang energy, so they are especially suitable for practicing Sunflower Sword Technique.

But once ordinary people practice it, they will soon become depressed, irritable, and obsessed with it, and their voice and body will undergo indelible changes. Therefore, Cao Xiaotai and the eunuch realized that men who practice Sunflower Sword Art must purify themselves like eunuchs.

Palace. Because of this level, no one practiced Sunflower Sword Technique anymore. This sword technique was hidden from outsiders.

Zhu Yunwen was hiding in the Sunflower Temple with nothing to do. He actually obtained the secret book of Sunflower Sword Technique and practiced it on his own. Then he couldn't help himself and wanted to kill all those who betrayed him. In the end, he gritted his teeth and walked on this evil path.
