Chapter 59 I owe Murong Fu another big favor! In the most simple Muni Hall of Tianlong Temple, an old monk sat facing the monk is the real number one master of the Dali Duan family and the most senior master Ku Rong. The internal energy practiced by Master Kurong is the most powerful Kurong Zen energy of the Dali Duan family. The highest level of this skill is to be both withered and flourishing, but Master Kurong has been facing the wall for many years and has only reached the level of half withered and half flourishing. Therefore, Master Kurong’s condition is now very scary. The skin on the left half of his face is as tender as a baby’s, but the right half of his face is yellow and bony, like a skeleton. The reason for this strange phenomenon is that Ku Rong’s Zen practice has not reached the highest level. If one can achieve the highest level of Zen practice of withering and flourishing, then one will be neither withering nor flourishing, but both withering and flourishing, and can switch freely between the forms of Bodhisattva, sentient being, and longevity. Whether you become a handsome young man or an octogenarian, it all depends on your heart. It turns out that in the eyes of the monks of Tianlong Temple, this Kuruo Zen skill is comparable to the Six Meridians Divine Sword. Since the temple was built, only Master Kuruo has been able to cultivate to the state of half-withering and half-thriving. If Master Kuruo can go one step further and reach the state of being both withered and flourishing, he will be able to use Kuruo's Zen skills as a foundation to control the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and the Duan family of Dali will have one more master who is unprecedented in history.
But it's very difficult, very difficult! At this time, accompanying Master Kurong were three eminent monks of the Tianlong Temple with their surname Ben, namely Ben Chan, Ben Xiang and Ben Guan. The three of them were people who had practiced the One-Finger Zen to the fourth level, and together with Abbot Ben Yin, they were collectively known as the "Four Masters of Tianlong Temple". At this moment, Abbot Benyin came to the Muni Hall. After greeting Master Ku Rong, who was facing the wall, he said, "Uncle Master, this is what happened." He introduced the visitor to Master Kurong in detail and explained what Duan Yanqing wanted. "Yanqing." Master Kurong faced the wall, motionless, but a complex look flashed in his eyes. In terms of blood relationship, Master Kurong is Duan Yanqing's uncle. When Duan Yanqing came to Tianlong Temple for help, Master Kurong knew it very well. But the Duan family was too weak, and Master Kurong had to put the overall situation first and give up his nephew. He has been feeling guilty about this all these years. After a long while, Master Kurong sighed and said, "It is a good thing that he can turn over a new leaf and become a monk in Tianlong Temple." Ben Yin asked: "Then can I teach him the Six Meridians Divine Sword?" Master Ku Rong said: "A powerful enemy is about to attack, he can learn the Six Meridians Divine Sword to help him, and you can also learn the Six Meridians Divine Sword." It turned out that Jiumozhi had already sent a message to Tianlong Temple, saying that he had discussed martial arts with his old friend Mr. Murong Bo in the past, and Murong Bo said that Six Meridians Divine Sword was the best sword technique in the world, and he wanted to see it for himself. Jiumozhi only heard about Murong Bo's death two years ago and was very sad. He wanted to take the Six Meridians Divine Sword to Yanziwu and burn the Six Meridians Divine Sword for Murong Bo. Moreover, they will bring generous gifts for exchange and will not let Tianlong Temple suffer any loss. In his words, Jiumozhi praised Murong Bo highly and compared his friendship with Murong Bo to that of Boya and Ziqi. The monks of Tianlong Temple were not quite sure how strong Murong Bo was, but Jiumozhi was very strong. Jiumozhi has been a powerful figure in Tubo in recent years. He has suppressed the Black Sect by himself, and his magical powers are unparalleled. Dali borders Tubo, and the great reputation of Tubo's national teacher Jiumozhi has also spread to Dali. No one in Dali dares to underestimate Jiumozhi. Although Jiumozhi's excuse is fair and aboveboard, whether it is the senior monk of this generation or Master Kurong, they are not young people without experience. They knew that if Jiumozhi really got the Six Meridians Divine Sword, he would definitely give it to Murong Bo, but it was only natural that he would memorize it by heart before giving it to Murong Bo.
The monks of Tianlong Temple were also racking their brains over how to deal with Jiumozhi's attack and protect the intellectual property rights of Tianlong Temple. The martial arts of Master Kuruo is much better than those of the four masters of Tianlong Temple. Led by Master Kuruo and assisted by the One Finger Zen, if they all rush forward, they will surely make Jiumozhi have no chance of returning. But monks are not reckless people. Jiumozhi is the national teacher of Tubo and has a huge influence in Tubo. If something really happens in Dali, it will start a war between the two countries. Dali's national strength is actually higher than that of Tubo. After all, Tubo is not unified now. However, Dali's Duan family does not want to see war. Because military power is mainly in the hands of the Gao family, foreign wars will only further expand the power of the Gao family. The monks of Tianlong Temple wanted to find a decent way to persuade Jiumozhi to retreat, but they were not sure. At this time, Master Kurong suggested that everyone practice Six Meridians Divine Sword together, but the monks looked at each other and had no confidence. Ben Yin said, "In this last age, martial arts are declining. The internal energy required for the Six Meridians Divine Sword can only be described as vast as the sea of smoke. Even with your internal energy, it is not enough to practice the Six Meridians Divine Sword, let alone us? I don't think the Crown Prince Yanqing has such ability either." In the eyes of people in later generations, Tianlong was the heyday of martial arts, and all kinds of magical martial arts were incredible. However, people in the Tianlong era looked forward and felt that this was the end of martial arts. Many skills that were truly powerful like those of gods could no longer be mastered by anyone. This is true for the Six Meridians Divine Sword of the Tianlong Temple and the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect. In the later period, Xu Zhu possessed the inner strength of the three elders and integrated many martial arts, but he could not practice the skills depicted in the murals of Lingjiu Palace that could allow people to escape gravity and control air and wind. The principle of Six Meridians Divine Sword is not complicated for monks who are proficient in One Yang Finger, but the problem is that the internal force required for Six Meridians Divine Sword is simply outrageous. Even if a person spends his entire life, he may not be able to develop such internal strength. Duan Yu obtained Bei Ming and mastered the Six Meridians Divine Sword. This kind of good fortune is rare to come by, and it is one in a million! "I have thought of a trick. It is impossible for one person to practice Six Meridians Divine Sword. But if each of us practices one path of Six Meridians Divine Sword, and six of us form a Six Meridians Divine Sword formation and cooperate with each other, we may be able to show the charm of Six Meridians Divine Sword and make King Dalun retreat." Master Kurong said, "Yanqing's One Yang Finger strength should have reached the threshold. Let him shave his head and become a monk, and the six of us can practice one path each. By then, Yanqing will have made a contribution and put down his butcher knife, and we can forgive the past for what happened." Practicing the Six Meridians Divine Sword together and turning the sword technique performed by one person into a sword formation to protect the temple was actually an idea that Master Kuruo had already had in mind. In fact, he didn't need Duan Yanqing's joining at all, because with his high level of internal strength, he had already mastered two ways of Six Meridians Divine Sword, so only four books were needed for each of them to practice one way. But Duan Yanqing is Master Kurong's nephew after all. Master Kurong has never comprehended the realm of both withering and flourishing over the years. He also feels guilty towards his nephew and cannot have a clear mind. Now these words seem to make sense, but they show that she has made up her mind to make up for Duan Yanqing. “This is indeed a good idea!” Abbot Ben Yin nodded, and then said with regret, “It’s a pity that no one in the world can practice the Six Meridians Divine Sword. Otherwise, with ten fingers flicking and sword energy running wild, let alone one Great Wheel Vajra King, even ten Great Wheel Vajra Kings would have no chance of becoming an enemy of our Tianlong Temple.” Master Kurong did not comment, but just asked: "Is Murong Fu, who mediated the conflict between Yanqing and Zhengming, the son of Mr. Murong Bo?" When Master Kurong said this, the monks reacted immediately! Didn’t Jiumozhi want to burn the Six Meridians Divine Sword for Murong Bo? Now Murong Bo's son Murong Fu is in Tianlong Temple. As long as Murong Fu is willing to help Tianlong Temple, he will be in the right position and block Jiumozhi's excuse. Jiumozhi is a decent man! "Yes, Murong Fu is the son of Murong Bo. I heard that he used his unique skill of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi to restrain Prince Yanqing and Zhengming at the same time, and transferred all the energy of the One Yang Finger to the tree, writing 'After all the hardships, brothers are still here, and a smile will wipe out all grudges when we meet'. If it weren't for him, Prince Yanqing would not have let it go so easily." Ben Yin had a good impression of Murong Fu. "Mr. Murong Bo's demeanor impressed even King Dalun Ming. As the saying goes, like father, like son. Young Master Murong is young, but his martial arts are already the best in the world, and his mind and bearing are beyond the reach of ordinary people. We, the Duan family of Dali, owe him a big favor." Master Kurong said, "It seems that our Dali Duan clan will owe him another big favor. If he is willing to help us talk to Jiumozhi, Jiumozhi will not be able to use the name of Mr. Murong Bo to force us to get the Six Meridians Divine Sword." (End of this chapter)
