Chapter 235: Sword Sect's Plan
After returning to Beijing, Ou Zanghua was busier than when he was at war, and he could only report to the Ministry of Rites once every other day.
Because the day after Honglu Temple Minister Xia Sheng came back from Ou Zanghua, he began to urge him to take over quickly, and he didn't want to attend this useless class for a single day.
Ou Zanghua was speechless after hearing this, as if he wanted to have sex.
Fortunately, the left and right Shaoqings of the Honglu Temple, Cao Yu and Meng Zhao, were reliable and had been assisting Ou Zanghua, allowing him to take over various affairs smoothly.
Due to too much work, Lingsong's treatment slowed down.
Even so, Lingsong's physical condition is much better than when he was in Yingtian Prefecture. Before, in the Lion Mountain Villa, he could only stay in bed and rest.
When he arrived in the capital, he was no different from an ordinary child. He could run, jump, eat and drink, as long as he didn't use his internal energy.
Under such circumstances, Ou Zanghua simply taught him to read and write, teaching him an ancient poem every morning and giving him a test when he came back in the evening.
Although Lingsong was smart, he was just a child under ten years old after all. He was very playful. The ancient poem he had to study every day made him very distressed, but he had to study hard.
One day, Cheng Buyou discovered that his senior brother was missing, so he asked about Cong Buqi.
While wiping his sword, Cong Buqi said, "Maybe he went to the yard next door to see the boy named Lingsong again!"
Cheng Buyou frowned slightly and said, "Brother, you are paying too much attention to the Qi Zong boy. Is he going to attack that boy?"
"No," Cong Buqi shook his head and said casually, "Senior Brother would not bother to attack women and children unless they provoke him first."
"Then why do you go to see that boy every day?" Cheng Buyou asked puzzledly.
Cong Buqi smiled and suggested, "Why don't you just ask Senior Brother? Then you'll know, right?"
"go!"
The two of them walked out of the yard together. There were many servants busy in the garden. When they saw them, they greeted them in a low voice and made way for them.
This was very useful to the two old otakus who had lived in seclusion for more than 20 years. They even had an idea in their minds: since they were practicing sword skills anyway, it didn't matter where they practiced.
After arriving at the courtyard where Lingsong lived, the two were somewhat surprised to find that Senior Brother Feng was actually standing in front of Lingsong today.
The two looked at each other and quickly hid in the dark, wanting to see what Senior Brother Feng was going to do.
At this moment, Feng Buping looked at Lingsong and said, "Since you have already joined our Huashan, you should know that the Huashan Sword School is based on the sword. If you only practice Qi, you will enter the evil path. Look at you, you are tortured by your internal energy at such a young age that you are neither alive nor dead. This is enough to prove that practicing Qi is not the right way."
Lingsong stood in front of Feng Buping, listening to the uncle's words and thinking for a moment, and then asked, "Uncle, do you mean to only practice swordsmanship and not qigong?"
"Of course not. You should practice sword skills as the main thing and practice Qi as a supplement." As he said that, Feng Buping thrust out with his sword, cutting a fallen leaf into four petals at lightning speed.
"My sword has only been practiced for two or three years, and there are only a handful of people in the martial arts world who can block it. You have practiced Qi for two or three years, but you are still a weakling when you walk around the martial arts world. This is the difference between practicing sword and practicing Qi."
Lingsong couldn't help but nodded. His senior brothers Liang Fa, Lu Dayou and others had been practicing Qi for more than two or three years, and they were indeed not big names in the martial arts world.
Feng Buping showed a satisfied smile, and then said: "From today on, I will teach you sword practice every day, starting with the basic sword techniques. If you learn quickly, I can also teach you the unique sword techniques of my sword sect, the Three Immortal Swords of Deadly Chain, the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng, and the Piercing Cloud Sword Technique."
Lingsong's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he asked excitedly: "Then, Master, can I not learn literature, but learn sword from you?"
Feng Buping was stunned, and Ou Zanghua's half-smile immediately appeared in his mind.
He wanted to snatch Yue Buqun's disciple, not Ou Zanghua's disciple, so why would he be so hard on him? "No way!"
Feng Buping raised his head at a 45-degree angle to the sky and said earnestly, "Lingsong, you must remember that learning martial arts is to strengthen your body and uphold justice, while learning can help you distinguish right from wrong and be an honest person. Both are indispensable. Only by making progress in both literature and martial arts can you become a great hero and dominate the world."
"A great hero, smiling proudly in the world of martial arts!"
Lingsong was a little discouraged at first, but after hearing that he could become a great hero, the fire in his heart suddenly burned.
"Okay, it's too far to talk about these now, you should start with the most basic things first!"
Afterwards, Feng Buping began to teach Lingsong to practice the basic sword techniques of Huashan Sword Sect. His seriousness stunned Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi who were peeping from the side. Is this still their senior brother who only wanted to take back Huashan?
Feng Buping taught for two hours, and even had lunch in Lingsong's yard. If Yihe hadn't reminded him that Lingsong still had to recite poems and write calligraphy, he would have taught for another two hours.
When leaving the yard, Xiao Lingsong looked at Feng Buping with eyes full of reluctance, and old Feng's cold heart was even a little moved. This boy is indeed simple, but he can't let Yue Buqun, the hypocrite, harm him.
But as soon as he returned to his own courtyard, he felt a little uncomfortable because he was stared at by his two junior brothers.
"What's wrong with you two today? Why are you looking at me like this?"
The two looked at each other, and Cheng Buyou asked, "Brother, have you been paying too much attention to that Qi Sect disciple recently?"
"What Qi Zong disciple?"
Feng Buping sneered and said, "Can I let the person I like be trapped in the quagmire of Qi Sect? If he learns things from my Sword Sect, the hypocrite Yue Buqun will definitely not tolerate him. When that time comes, I will formally accept him as my disciple. Will he be devoted to my Sword Sect?"
Cong Buqi asked with some doubt: "That's true, but why did you do this, brother?"
"Humph! Yue Buqun actually asked Lord Ou to treat Lingsong's injury, which is enough to show that he values this disciple very much. So I secretly touched his bones a few days ago. This boy has excellent muscles and bones. He is a good candidate for martial arts training."
"Look at the Hengshan Sect today. Mo Da is still able to hold the position of the Sect Leader. It's all because Liu San has no more aspirations. He spends his days traveling around and creating music."
"Even so, who in the martial arts world would not bow and call Liu San 'Liu Renxia' when seeing him?"
"Those evildoers on Hengshan usually hide in their own little corners and don't care about worldly affairs. Aren't they coming out now and uniting around the Hengshan Sect? Otherwise, why would there be so many Hengshan disciples in the martial arts world recently? You have to know that Mo Da only has two disciples in total, Lu Er only has five, and Liu San only has three."
"And when I was alone with Alliance Leader Zuo, he said that if Liu San was willing, he would be given the position of Alliance Leader of the Five Mountains without further ado."
"Think about it, why does Liu San have such a big face? It's because he has a good disciple."
"If Huashan can also produce a talent like Lord Ou, then wouldn't it be easy for Huashan to flourish after it gets back on track?"
After Feng Buping finished speaking, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and revealed a wise smile.
After hearing this, Cheng Buyou began to think about it and said, "Brother, your consideration is not groundless. Now that Lord Ou is personally teaching Lingsong, it should not be a problem for him to pass the imperial examination in the future, even if he doesn't pass the imperial examination."
Cong Buqi said excitedly: "What's even better is that this good seedling was snatched from Yue Buqun by my senior brother. One day, our Sword Sect will flourish because of Lingsong, and Yue Buqun will probably be so angry that he will die."
"Hahahaha" Feng Buping couldn't help but burst into laughter when he thought of Yue Buqun being so angry that he vomited blood. He really looked forward to this day coming sooner!
