Chapter Fourteen This is an Era of the Decline of the Dao of the Sword
"It can be seen that you know nothing about the rules of martial arts! However, maybe what our sect needs is someone like you!"
Mo Wentian's eyes did not hide his hostility at all. Seeing this scene, Luo Qi shook her head and nodded again. She had to admit that until this time, she really became interested in Mo Wentian. She was very curious.
, how did such a person become a swordsman.
Luo Qi and Friday had always believed that Mo Wentian should have no sect, at least not a disciple of the Xiaoyao sect. The reason was very simple. When the two of them were eyeing Mo Wentian, the other party was obviously aware of it, but Mo Wentian was not.
He did not choose to escape in the direction of Xiaoyao Mountain, but quite the opposite.
Therefore, when he discovered that Mo Wentian's common sense about martial arts rules was like a blank piece of paper, Luo Qi quickly accepted it and regarded Mo Wentian as a casual practitioner of the sword.
Naturally, Mo Wentian didn't know the reason, but after hearing Luo Qi's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly. The implication of the other person's words seemed to be hinting to him that the scene he saw was unusual.
Including the arrogant axeman's attitude towards him, is it actually a matter of course?
"Please advise!"
Now Mo Wentian could see that although Luo Qi was as smart as a demon, he had no intention of informing other warriors that he deliberately pointed in the wrong direction.
Naturally, Mo Wentian could not guess that Luo Qi was more interested in getting him to join the gang, but he also felt a sense of gratitude towards Luo Qi. Speaking of which, his understanding of the world was limited to Xiaoyao Sect and Thorns.
Of the two places in the village, the Xiaoyao Sect came from Mo Wentian’s original memory, while everything in the Thorn Village was what he had seen and felt before.
As for the rules of martial arts, Master Xiaoyaozi naturally taught some simple common sense to Mo Wentian, but he did not go into too much depth. Among them, there was a piece of information that Xiaoyaozi found difficult to say.
But this message is the most important and fundamental thing in the entire Eastern Wilderness Continent in these hundred years. It is the rule that every warrior recognizes and abides by!
Xiaoyaozi naturally had his own reasons for not mentioning it to Mo Wentian, but now Luo Qi's appearance has just made up for Mo Wentian's shortcomings in this aspect.
Seeing Mo Wentian's extremely sincere look, Luo Qi was a little surprised. This time she could tell that Mo Wentian was definitely not performing, but asking her for advice from the bottom of his heart. After pondering for a moment, Luo Qi
Let me ask this question first.
"Let me ask you first, do you know what the layout of the entire Eastern Wilderness Continent is like?"
"I know this. There is Huangfu in the north, Jinyun in the south, and two temples in the middle. The Luo Ri Group League we are in is located in the east of the Eastern Wasteland Continent!"
Regarding Luo Qi's question, Mo Wentian answered it very smoothly, because this was something Xiaoyaozi had specially taught, so it was quite impressive for Mo Wentian.
"Yes, then, what do you know about these forces?"
Mo Wentian frowned at this moment, because in his memory, there were only a few names, and as for understanding them, they were almost zero.
"I only know that our Chu State is a third-class country among the Luo Ri Group."
Mo Wentian looked at Luo Qi, with no look of shame on his face. In Mo Wentian's knowledge, he had never thought that asking for advice was a shameful thing, so his answer was extremely calm.
"So that's the case, then it's no wonder."
Luo Qi secretly thought to himself, and looked at Mo Wentian with more curiosity. What she asked should be common knowledge among all warriors, but then Luo Qi's eyes fell on the broken knife held tightly in Mo Wentian's hand.
, I couldn’t help but suddenly realized.
"Okay, let me tell you briefly first what these major forces represent."
"First of all, the Jinyun Empire has occupied the entire southern part of the continent. It is a superpower that surpasses the mainland in terms of national power and military force. There are only swordsmanship sects in the entire Jinyun Empire. It can be said that the entire country practices swordsmanship. The most powerful among them is naturally Jinyun.
The empire’s country-protecting sect is called Wanjian Sect, and it is undoubtedly the number one super sect in the mainland.”
In Luo Qi's words, Mo Wentian heard two new words, namely "super power" and "super sect". Before this, Mo Wentian only knew about countries and sects. Depending on their strength, they were called
They are divided into first to third levels. For example, Chu State is a third-level small country, and Xiaoyao Sect is also a third-level sect.
However, Mo Wentian has never heard of the terms "superpower" and "super sect"!
"Secondly, there is the Huangfu Dynasty that dominates the northern part of the continent. It is a superpower on par with the Jinyun Empire. Its country-protecting sect is the super sect, the Divine Gun Sect."
"You should be able to tell from the name that this is a gun sect, and its leader is one of the top masters in the world, Gun Emperor Yang Liu."
"The Huangfu Dynasty and the Jinyun Empire are the two real behemoths on the Eastern Barren Continent. Although the Huangfu Dynasty is slightly inferior, they have also successfully blocked the Jinyun Empire's ambition to dominate the continent for decades."
Luo Qi's words introduced very little about the Huangfu Dynasty, but there was a hint of respect on his face, especially when he mentioned the Spear Emperor Yang Liu, his eyes were as pious as a pilgrim, which made Mo Wentian secretly regard this
The name is etched in my heart.
"Because of the relationship between the Divine Spear Sect, the Huangfu Dynasty finally broke the monopoly of swordsmanship, and combined the other second-rate sects with the swordsmanship to compete with them."
Regarding Luo Qi's previous words, Mo Wentian never expressed his doubts aloud and just listened quietly. But at this time, Mo Wentian finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Luo Qi softly.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by the monopoly of swordsmanship just now? Also, there are three religions and nine streams in the inheritance of weapons?"
Facing Mo Wentian's question, Luo Qi nodded secretly, but she was not in a hurry to answer the question at the moment, so she pressed her hand to signal Mo Wentian not to be anxious.
"You listened very carefully and grasped the key point of the question. You will naturally understand this after I finish speaking!"
After hearing what Luo Qi said, Mo Wentian had no choice but to push his doubts back into his heart and focus again on Luo Qi's next words.
"These two superpowers represent the top martial arts forces in the Eastern Barren Continent, and there are so many countries and sects on the continent. In order to prevent being annexed and destroyed by the two superpowers, many countries and sects with low strength have
They have united one after another to form a third force that can compete with these two superpowers, which is the Luo Ri Group Alliance!"
"In the Luo Ri Group Alliance, almost all the weapon traditions are included, and each weapon path is flourishing. After more than a hundred years, each weapon path has competed with each other countless times, and they know each other's ins and outs. In the end,
The top experts of the Luo Ri Alliance, based on a comprehensive comparison of the background and power of each Taoist lineage, came up with a grade of weapon Tao!"
"Don't be so surprised. This is common sense in the entire martial arts and is also a recognized rule!"
Seeing the disbelief on Mo Wentian's face, Luo Qi sighed softly in his heart. I am afraid that his next words will have a huge impact on this young man of the same age.
However, these words have to be said. Even if Luo Qi doesn't say it, one day, Mo Wentian will learn about it from other channels, and at that time, because of violating the rules, Mo Wentian will probably be severely punished.
A painful lesson!
"Among them, swordsmanship is undoubtedly recognized as the only first-rate weapon tradition on the mainland, while spear art, ax art, hammer art, and stick art are classified as second-rate art traditions. As for bow art, whip art, and hook art, the three
If you cultivate Taoism, you will become a third-rate Taoism!"
When Luo Qi said this, he suddenly stopped, which made Mo Wentian stunned. Subconsciously, Mo Wentian's voice began to tremble.
"So, what about the way of swords?"
"The rest of the Taoist traditions are all called not entering the stream!"
"What!"
At this moment, Mo Wentian was completely confused. Luo Qi's words were like a sledgehammer that hit his heart hard, making him almost breathless. How could the swordsmanship be unqualified?
In Mo Wentian's understanding, in all the stories he heard in his previous life, as long as they were related to warriors, knives and swords were comparable to each other. The sword was even called the leader of short-term soldiers and the courage of a hundred soldiers.
It is an extremely important role in the weapons spectrum.
Why, when we arrived on the Eastern Barren Continent, it became a situation where swordsmanship was dominant and swordsmanship declined?
At this moment, Mo Wentian finally understood why the eighth-level body-tempering axeman looked at him with such contempt. This was the natural sense of superiority formed by the second-rate Taoism in front of the unqualified Taoism!
"Why... why...!"
Seeing that Mo Wentian came back to his senses so quickly, Luo Qi was shocked. He couldn't help but look at Mo Wentian again. He really didn't expect that this young man named Wentian, at such a young age, had such a good temperament.
So calm.
For a true warrior, after learning that the Taoism he has practiced for more than ten years has such a low status and is despised by others, he may feel his faith collapse and find it difficult to accept. However, all this did not happen to Mo Wentian.
invalid.
Since coming to this world, Mo Wentian has only practiced swordsmanship for ten days or so. His belief in the way of swordsmanship is really weak. He was shocked before, and it was more about his knowledge of his previous life.
A sense of subversion and extreme confusion.
Mo Wentian naturally knew that the story was just a story and could not be taken as true. As a little beggar, he could not possibly understand the development of the history of weapons. However, he knew that in the story, there must be a reason why swords and swords go hand in hand.
, will never be fabricated without reason.
Therefore, don’t ask the genius to have this question.
"I know you may still be a little unbelievable in your heart, but this is the fact. In other words, I can only regret to say that you were born in the darkest era of swordsmanship."
Luo Qi sighed and comforted Mo Wentian, but to Mo Wentian, there seemed to be something in this sentence. The matter might not be as simple as he imagined.
“Why the darkest times?”
"Speaking of it, it is really ironic. You must know that more than a hundred years ago, it was the era when the swordsmanship dominated the mainland. The glory of the swordsmanship in that period could not be compared to the swordsmanship of today!"
Hearing this, Mo Wentian's eyes lit up. Sure enough, something was a little strange. If it was true as Luo Qi said, then the decline of the way of swords happened within more than a hundred years, so what exactly happened?
As a result, a generation of orthodox hegemons fell to such a low level!
This time, before Mo Wentian could speak, Luo Qi gave the answer.
"It's a pity that the strongest man in the mainland at that time, the most dazzling genius in the history of martial arts, the master of the Yu Dao Sect, Ba Tian, made a mistake and colluded with the ancient demon master of the Demon Sect to kill the top swordsman in a trap.
At that moment, they were counterattacked by the Demon Lord, and eventually they both died, and the entire elite of the Imperial Sword Sect was also wiped out!"
"Since then, the way of swordsmanship has been revived, combined with the power of the temple, to eradicate the ancient demonic way, and in a few decades, it has completely strangled and destroyed the inheritance of the way of swordsmanship! At this point, the way of swordsmanship has been completely knocked out of the mortal world, and it has been hidden for a hundred years.
Never turn over again!"
Mo Wentian's heart trembled when he heard this, and then he felt a desolate sadness erupting from his waist. Mo Wentian tightened his right hand, and the sweat on his palm slid gently along the blade of the broken knife, as if
