Azief could understand if the Temple treats him courteously because of his reputation as the Sword G.o.d but why does the Temple treats his disciple well too?They treat his disciple too well for an outsider. When has the temple become so open?
Azief knows that the Martial Arts Library of the Temple of Xi is one of the forbidden places in the martial arts world
It is because it is the place that contain all the martial arts manuals of the Temple and the hard work of generations of Abbots and outstanding characters of the Temple in the past.
It is said even one manual from the Temple could turns someone a consummate expert of the martial arts world.
There are many cases in the past of people leaning from the Temple.
But because many of those who learns the Temple martial arts did not complement it with the n.o.ble teachings, they become astray and wreak havoc in the world, thus promoting the Temple to hunt them down and why they started to restrict the Library from outsiders
They would not let the martial arts of their Temple easily perused by outsiders.
Unless there is special circ.u.mstance or you become a monk inside the Temple and gain the trust of the Abbots and Elders of the Temple then you would not be able to even step one foot inside the Martial Arts Library of the Temple.
Thought Azief had a few clues.
If it is as he thought, then that is his disciple fortune. If that is so, there is no need for him to say or do too much and let everything moves according to the hearts and intention of the people.
Azief had finish reading the martial arts book in all of the Martial Arts Library in three days but he keeps coming inside it until the seventh day.
No one seems to care that he and his disciple enters freely into the most forbidden building of the Temple.
Not the Abbot and not the grandmaster. They all do their things without bothering him and cater to his every needs.
The reason he only need three days is because he has great memories.
There are also many other books other than martial arts manuals. There is explanation about energies, myths and stories of ancient past that made Azief spend more time than he thought he needs to
Some of the ancient records are vague and some of them looks more like folk tale instead of a real stories or historical facts.
But if there is books that seems to be detailed than the other, it is the journey of the Monkey Demon and the Enlightened Monk and their one hundred and eight tribulations when they were searching for the Sutra of Immortality.
Of course there is many names for the Sutra.
And it seems the monk community itself is divided in the matter of the name of the Sutra and simply called the Sutra that the Monkey Demon and the Enlightened Monk found was called the Sutra of Oneness or Sutra of Immortality.
And while he finished reading all those contents in three days, the reason he keeps coming is none other for his disciple.
Because while he had a great memory that could remembers everything he sees thanks to his evolution of body and mind, the same could not be said for his disciple.
It would take a little more time for his disciple to remembers the martial arts books of the temple.
Xi Feng is handed a heaven sent opportunities and he too realizes that.
Xi Feng was promised to a duel against two of the greatest saber and sword user of the younger generation in six years.
Xi Feng himself knows that his teacher is leaving and he knowns the intention of his teacher.
Who would have thought that when he arrived at the Temple he is given such opportunity?
As such he would grabs it and use this time to hone his martial arts understanding and his martial arts repertoire.
He might be the only outsiders outside of the temple that did not render any merits to the Temple but were given the opportunity to enter the Library of the Temple and learn its martial arts.
Azief also knows how this is a G.o.dsend opportunity for his disciple to improve on what he is lacking and that is why even though he had finished reading all the martial arts manual in the temple martial arts library he accompanied his disciple so he could take his time understanding and remembering the content of the martial arts manuals of the temple.
With him beside his disciple, he could have pointed out any mistakes that his disciple did in practicing the martial arts.
And it was a fruitful endeavor. Xi Feng learns the Saint Eighteen Fist, Saint Flood Style and the Saint Style among the many martial arts manuals of the temple.
It would help him in strengthening his body and core and increase his explosive power when executing sword moves.
Xi Feng also learn the Four Divine Beast Style.
The White Tiger Roar, the Vermillion Bird Palm strike, the Golden Protection of the Dark Turtle and the Azure Dragon Clawing technique.
After that seven days they spend the next five days fighting the Eighteen grandmaster of the Temple.
Azief fought them all using his palm and strikes and defeated all of them and increase his comprehension of palm techniques.
As his arrival to the Temple of Xi was finally spread and the news of him killing all those martial arts unit of the Imperial Family of Yong that hunt him, many martial artists went waiting underneath the foot of the Shaohua Mountain.
In the bottom of the mountain, Three Elder Monk stand guards, forbidding anyone to climb the steps but did not forbid them to wait for the Sword G.o.d.
As the temple spoke courteously with them, the martial artist that came to see the Sword G.o.d duel the Abbot of the Temple were all disappointed but they still waited below the mountain.
With crowds of people, some merchant come in and open their stalls selling hot tea and foods below the mountain.
The Elder Monk did not rid them off like usual.
Azief when he hears this also felt a little bit weird.
Usually the temple would rid out people trying to do business on the foot of the mountain but this time, they did not.
If not, there would be a long lines of stalls around the foot of the mountain of the most mysterious Temple in the martial arts world.
This sudden generosity pointed toward some change to the Temple.
And the more he thinks about it, he thinks that these changes are happening because of him. He himself did not want to see those people waiting for him.
They are not his people, not his family, not his disciple and not his friend. They have no relations with him and there is no Karma between them
Why should he meet them?
Since that is the case, he just ignored them. Night pa.s.ses and morning came.
At morning he would sharpen his comprehension and at night he would write his comprehension into the thick leather animal skin that the Three Devils and his disciple had prepared for him.
The Three Devils of Han and Xi Feng knows that the Sword G.o.d is preparing to finish his martial arts manual.
The Three Devils of Han had witness the Sword G.o.d feats in person and with their own eyes. They witnessed it all.
If news spread to the martial arts world that the Sword G.o.d is about to leave this world and ascend to become an Immortal, and leave a martial arts manual, they all could imagine what kind of bloodshed that would erupt inside Jianghu to vie for it
This is the martial arts manual of someone who were t.i.tled the Number One Swordsman Under Heaven
Who would not want to see what teachings he left behind? Who would not dream of becoming such a powerful expert that could roam the world and fearing no one with one sword in one hand?
If this matter is spread around, the fight for the manuals might be the bloodiest event that happen in the martial arts world history
