In the main hall of the Li Residence.
Qin Qiong's words made Li Zexuan fall into deep thought.
Compared to the two veterans in front of him who had experienced hundreds of battles, he was indeed a fledgling brat. Although he was now a martial arts grandmaster, his actual combat experience was really too lacking. Yesterday, he was able to entangle with the black-clothed assassin for so long purely by luck. But how could there be so much luck in life?
"Uncle Qin is right. When the time comes, I'll have to trouble you to introduce this nephew to them!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said.
"Haha! You don't need to go through so much trouble! If you want to find someone to fight with, just come to me! "
Cheng Yaojin patted his stomach and laughed.
Qin Qiong was speechless. Cheng Yaojin didn't act like an elder at all.
After the three of them laughed for a while, Qin Qiong returned to the topic. "Xiaoxuan, I've heard of the move that the assassin used when he escaped yesterday."
Li Zexuan paused for a moment and said, "Uncle Qin, are you talking about the Blood Rain of Seventh Cultivator of Virtue?"
"Yes!"
Qin Qiong stood up and said with his hands behind his back, "It is said that there is a rare poisonous snake in Miaojiang called the Snake of Seventh Cultivator of Virtue. It has seven heads and is extremely poisonous. As long as one of its heads bites, it will immediately kill. The assassin's last move, the Blood Rain of Seventh Cultivator of Virtue, was probably practiced with the blood of this poisonous snake. Moreover, the Snake of Seventh Cultivator of Virtue's movement speed is also extremely fast. The assassin's technique is strange, like a snake demon. Combining these two points, I guess that his origin is likely to be an evil Jianghu cultivator related to the Snake of Seventh Cultivator of Virtue! "
Li Zexuan's expression gradually became dignified. He pondered for a moment and said worriedly, "That is to say, the assassin is from Miaojiang?"
Li Zexuan, who had read countless modern web novels, had a deep fear of Miaojiang. No matter how good one's kung fu was, there was no way to deal with the strange invisible poison!
"Not necessarily!"
Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "I only said that the snake blood he used to practice came from Miaojiang, but I didn't say that he was also from Miaojiang. As far as this old man knows, the people of Miaojiang usually don't come out into the world. They rarely come in contact with the outside world. Although a poisonous creature like the Seven Cultivator of Virtue Snake is rare, it doesn't mean that there aren't any native hunters in the Miaojiang who sell it to the outside world! "
Li Zexuan felt that it was reasonable. He nodded and asked, "Uncle Qin, do you know of any sects in Jianghu that use the poisonous blood of the Seven Cultivators Snake to cultivate?"
Qin Qiong had obviously thought about this question a long time ago. He shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. Although this old man is skilled in martial arts, I have never traveled in Jianghu. As far as this old man knows, those famous sects would definitely not have people who practice such vicious martial arts. I think this assassin should be from an unknown remote sect, or perhaps he doesn't belong to any sect at all."
Back then, Qin Qiong's father, Qin Yi, had passed away a few days after Qin Qiong was born. Most of Qin Qiong's techniques were self-taught according to the Qin family's techniques. Later, he joined Yang Lin, the King of Mountains of the Sui Dynasty, and became Yang Lin's godson. Yang Lin had personally taught him martial arts many times, so on the road of martial arts, Qin Qiong could be considered to have had the guidance of a famous teacher. However, his martial arts skills were all used on the battlefield, so he didn't know much about the sects in Jianghu.
"What are the famous sects in Jianghu today?"
Li Zexuan was really curious about this. In his memory, Spiritual Master Ling Xu had not taught him about this common knowledge of the martial arts world.
"Ha! You brat, you don't even know this, and you call yourself the disciple of an immortal! "
Cheng Yaojin sneered and immediately began to despise Li Zexuan for being ignorant and inexperienced. Then he explained:
"Currently, the three most prosperous sects in Jianghu are the Celestial Master Sect of Longhu Mountain, the Shaolin Temple of Mount Song, and the Taibai Sword Sect of Qinchuan! The first two are equally matched in strength, and no one can say that they are stronger than the other! The other sects are led by these three sects. You brat, you could be considered lucky back then to be able to enter the Celestial Master Sect to cultivate, and even become the personal disciple of Spiritual Master Ling Xu! All the martial artists in the world can't help but be envious! "
"Hehe!"
Li Zexuan awkwardly scratched his head. Then he suddenly remembered the "Twin of the Tang Dynasty" that he had read in his previous life, and asked tentatively, "Then, has Uncle Cheng heard of Ci Hang Jing Zhai?"
If there really was a Ci Hang Jing Zhai, then he really wanted to see the legendary fairy Shi Feixuan. Of course, he didn't have any thoughts about her, but purely admired her. After all, Shi Feixuan should be almost thirty years old by now, right?
"Ci Hang Jing Zhai? What's that? I've never heard of it! "
Cheng Yaojin picked his nose without caring about his image and shook his head.
"Then, have Uncle Cheng heard of the Jingnian Zen Sect, the Yin Sunflower Sect, the Flowery Sect, the Devil Image Sect, the Bu Tian Pavilion, and the Flying Horse Ranch?"
"No!"
"Then, have Uncle Cheng heard of the Wudang Sect, the Emei Sect, the Quanzhen Sect, the Qingcheng Sect, and the Huashan Sect?"
"No! Little Xuan, where did you hear about these sects? "
Cheng Yaojin's expression became more and more strange. The names of these martial arts sects that Li Zexuan mentioned sounded very real, and didn't seem to be fabricated at all, but why hadn't he heard of any of them?
Could it be that he was too ignorant and inexperienced?
Cheng Yaojin began to doubt his life at this moment!
"Ugh! It's nothing. I just saw it in an unknown novel. It's all nonsense. Cough, cough. Nonsense! "
A trace of embarrassment also appeared on Li Zexuan's face. The current martial arts world seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined! Why did it feel so … so withered? Yes, it was withered.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty could be considered as the origin of martial arts, but it was only the origin. The Shaolin Temple was the most prominent example. According to historical records, the Shaolin Temple was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. However, the prosperity of martial arts began in the Song and Ming Dynasties. Most of the famous sects that could be checked in the history were also established in the Song Dynasty.
For example, the Wudang Sect, a famous sect in the martial arts world, was established in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming Dynasty. The largest sect in the martial arts world, the Beggar's Sect, was established in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. The first sect in the Xuanmen Sect, was established in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty.
As for other sects like the Emei Sect, Kongtong Sect, Kunlun Sect, and Ba Ji Sect, they flourished even later. This was also one of the reasons why the historical background of modern martial arts novels was mostly concentrated in the Song and Ming Dynasties. After all, if one didn't write about these sects when writing martial arts novels, wouldn't it be overshadowed?
Of course, the decline of the martial arts world in the Tang Dynasty was also related to the background of this era.
After the Tang Dynasty was founded, there was too much centralization of power, which was not conducive to the development of the martial arts world.
The imperial court of the Song Dynasty did not care much, and the political environment in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was still relatively relaxed. This provided a very good soil for the flourishing of the martial arts sects.
The end of the Song Dynasty, the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Tumu Fortress, and the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty also gave the modern martial arts novelists a lot of good opportunities to make a big deal out of it!
Looking at the dynasties before the Song Dynasty, there were still relatively few martial arts sects of a large scale.
