"Why do you want that thousand-year-old snow lotus so much?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Two reasons." Master Yuantian raised a finger: "The first reason is that I want to rely on the Millennium Snow Lotus to improve my physical condition, clear my meridians, and increase my life span, so that I can practice the Yi Jin Jing more quickly. Have you seen it?
The last words of Master Tianhai, practicing the Yi Jin Jing is very time-consuming. I am already over a hundred years old, and I don’t have much time left in my life. I don’t have enough time to practice the Yi Jin Jing, so I played the Millennium Snow Lotus.
idea."
"So that's it." Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang both had expressions of surprise on their faces.
"As for the second reason..." Master Yuantian raised another finger: "I am thinking about you two."
"Us?" Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang were stunned: "What happened to us?"
"Let me ask you, do you still want to practice internal energy?" Master Yuantian asked.
"Of course I have!" Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang said in unison: "We have all dreamed of it! It's just that we are too old, our bones and meridians have been finalized, and we can no longer practice internal skills." After saying this, the two people's faces revealed.
A hint of loss.
"Don't be so absolute." Master Yuantian smiled and said: "Theoretically, you two can no longer practice internal skills, but..." At this point, Master Yuantian paused: "If you can improve it,
Physique, dredge your meridians, then you can still practice internal strength, such as Millennium Snow Lotus, it can change your physique, dredge your meridians, and give you the opportunity to practice internal strength again."
"Ah? Really!" Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang's eyes widened.
Master Yuantian nodded: "I am your master. Of course I will not deceive you. This is the second reason why I want to get the Millennium Snow Lotus. You are my disciples. I will always consider it for you. I will always consider it for you."
I am over a hundred years old, how many more years can I still protect you? If you can practice your internal skills and improve your strength, then I can die with peace of mind."
"Master..." Regardless of whether Master Yuantian was sincere or hypocritical, Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang were deeply moved by what he could say.
"I have explained the reason clearly, please give me an answer." Master Yuantian said.
Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a moment: "Master, I think it would be better for you to come forward in person... With your prestige, the Tianshan Sect will definitely not dare to offend you..."
"If I could come forward, I wouldn't come to you." Master Yuantian shook his head: "First of all, I am the most senior person in the Shaolin Temple. My every move represents the Shaolin Temple. I went to the Tianshan Sect to ask for the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, regardless of the final result.
No matter what, it will affect my reputation, and the Shaolin Temple will also be affected by me. Secondly, I had conflicts with the founder of the Tianshan Sect in the early years, so the disciples of the Tianshan Sect have some opinions on me..."
"Have you ever had a conflict with the founder of the Tianshan Sect? What conflict?" Ma Xiaoyao's gossip heart was aroused.
"It's okay to tell you." Master Yuantian was in a good mood today. No matter what Ma Xiaoyao asked, he would always answer: "That was more than sixty years ago. I had an unstable temper at the time and often went down the mountain to play. One day
, I wandered to the foot of Tianshan Mountain and saw an extremely beautiful woman wearing palace clothes. I was amazed at that time and looked at it a few more times. Unexpectedly, the woman directly called me a 'rogue'. I became anxious when I heard that.
I went up to argue with her, and after a few words, we started fighting..."
Ma Xiaoyao was secretly amused. He didn't expect that Master Yuantian was quite unruly when he was young. Of course, Ma Xiaoyao could only think about these words in his heart and did not dare to say them out loud.
Master Yuan Tian showed a look of reminiscence on his face: "That woman is really good, and her swordsmanship is superb. I was almost injured by her several times... We fought all day and night, but there was no winner.
In the end, we were really tired, so we stopped to rest... The woman looked at me with a very strange look. She said she didn't expect that my kung fu was so good and that I could even tie with her... I was so impressed with her.
I also admired her kung fu very much. Later we exchanged names. At that time, I learned that her name was Ling Xue, and she was the daughter of the leader of the Tianshan sect. Later, we agreed that we would compete every winter. We must
Decide the winner..."
Having said this, Master Yuantian sighed: "The next winter, I went to Tianshan Mountain to compete with Ling Xue. I still remember that battle fresh... After a year of not seeing each other, Ling Xue's kung fu has improved a lot.
My swordsmanship became even more superb, and I couldn't resist it anymore... But I'm very stubborn and unwilling to lose to a woman, so I resorted to deception..."
Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang hurriedly pricked up their ears, knowing that the most exciting part was about to appear.
Master Yuan Tian's eyes narrowed: "At that time, Ling Xue used a special move. I deliberately dodged a little slower, and my shoulder was pierced by Ling Xue's sharp sword, and then I fell to the ground... Ling Xue's face changed and she hurriedly twitched.
I turned back to the long sword and bent down to check my injuries... At this moment, I swung out a palm and knocked Ling Xue away... Although the palm did not hit Ling Xue's vital part, I used
The force was very strong, but it still severely injured Ling Xue..."
The corners of Ma Xiaoyao's mouth twitched and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say the last word.
"Ling Xue fell to the ground, holding her abdomen with one hand, and blood kept coming from her mouth. She glared at me, saying that I was despicable, shameless, and even cheated!" At this point, Master Yuantian glanced at Ma.
Xiaoyao: "How do you think I answered Ling Xue?"
"Uh... this... I can't guess..." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head.
"I told Ling Xue that in a fight, in addition to strength, there is also a competition of intelligence. My cheating was a bit despicable, but I don't think I did anything wrong. As long as I can win and defeat the enemy, no matter how insidious I use it,
The tricks are also acceptable." Master Yuan Tian said: "Ling Xue was very angry, very, very angry. She scolded me severely and then left with her injuries..."
Having said this, Master Yuantian stopped.
"What happened next? What happened next?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Later... Later I thought about it carefully and felt a little guilty. After all, it was just an ordinary competition, not a battle of life and death, and the other party was a woman. It was indeed inappropriate for me to use despicable means to deal with others... so I
I went to Lingxue to apologize, but the other party didn’t see me at all, and then I left... Since then, Lingxue and I have never met again... But I know that Lingxue must still hate me in her heart, Tianshan
The disciples of the sect also have prejudices against me..." Master Yuantian said.
"It's been so many years, that Ling Xue must have stopped blaming you... Besides, it's unknown whether that Ling Xue is still alive..." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Ling Xue is definitely alive!" Master Yuantian said with certainty: "Although I have not met Ling Xue again for so many years, I still often hear rumors about her."
"Rumors? What rumors are there?" Ma Xiaoyao asked curiously.
"There are so many that I can't finish them all at once, so I will just briefly mention a few. Ling Xue later became the head of the Tianshan Sect and managed the Tianshan Sect in an orderly manner. She was known as the number one heroine in the martial arts world. Later, she became the leader of the Tianshan Sect.
I know for some reason, Ling Xue resigned from the position of head, and then stopped getting involved in worldly affairs..." Master Yuantian said.
"If that Ling Xue is still alive, wouldn't she be over a hundred years old?" Ma Xiaoyao said.
"No." Master Yuantian shook his head: "That Ling Xue is much younger than me. She is at most ninety years old this year."
Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Master Yuantian with a somewhat hesitant expression: "Master, there is something I don't know whether to say or not..."
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate." Master Yuan Tian waved his hand.
"Master, you...do you like that Ling Xue?" Ma Xiaoyao said cautiously.
"Nonsense!" Master Yuantian glared: "I am a monk, how could I like women!"
"Master, don't be angry. I just asked casually and had no other meaning." Seeing that Master Yuantian was angry, Ma Xiaoyao apologized hurriedly.
Master Yuan Tian calmed down: "Yes, I admire that Ling Xue from the bottom of my heart. She is the most powerful woman I have ever seen. It's just admiration, no other feelings. Do you understand?"
Ma Xiaoyao nodded hurriedly: "Disciple understands."
Master Yuantian turned to look at Menghu Lei Dazhuang again: "What about you? Do you understand?"
"I understand." Lei Dazhuang also nodded.
"Now that you understand everything, let's make a choice." Master Yuantian said in a calm tone: "Thousand-year Snow Lotus is of great benefit to me and to you. I hope you two can think about it carefully."
"Don't think about it, let's go." Ma Xiaoyao said decisively: "We must find a way to get the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus!" Ma Xiaoyao dreamed of practicing internal skills and becoming a top master, but unfortunately he was not born with enough conditions to practice internal skills. Now
Well, things have turned around. As long as you get the Millennium Snow Lotus, you can improve your body and practice your internal strength.
"Okay!" Master Yuantian clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I really saw you right."
"Master, this matter comes sooner rather than later. We will go to Tianshan immediately." Ma Xiaoyao is an impatient person. As long as he decides to do something, he will act immediately and will never delay.
"Don't be in such a hurry, you can rest in Shaolin Temple for two more days before going..." Master Yuantian said with a smile.
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "Let's leave now. If we leave one day early, we can get the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus one day early."
Lei Dazhuang also said: "Yes, let's set off now." Lei Dazhuang himself is a martial arts fanatic. It has always been a regret for him that he cannot practice internal skills. Now that he has hope to practice internal skills, Lei Dazhuang is very excited.
