Bernard Shaw said: "You have an apple, I have an apple, we exchange each other, each person still has an apple; you have an idea, I have an idea, we exchange each other, each person can have two ideas."
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this before, he didn't have much understanding of it. He only thought that famous quotes by famous people were very philosophical.
But since he traveled through two lives, he exchanged martial arts with many people and gained a lot, so he remembered this sentence again, and he agreed with it from the bottom of his heart.
For people in the martial arts world, their kung fu is the foundation of a sect's livelihood, and naturally it cannot be leaked out at will. But for Meng Xiuyuan, who has no Wudang sect to worry about after his death, the more exchanges about kung fu, the better.
As the royal temple of the Duan family in Dali, the monks in Tianlong Temple are much more peaceful than their counterparts in the Shaolin Temple. They only focus on practicing martial arts, worshiping Buddha, and protecting the Duan family. They rarely appear to be scum in martial arts.
This "Nine Yang Divine Art" was given to them in exchange for the "Six Meridians Divine Sword", and Meng Xiuyuan felt no burden in his heart.
"Mr. Meng, please read this sword manual right here. You must not pass it on to others in the future..."
When Abbot Benyin handed the six brocade scrolls to Meng Xiuyuan, he had a rather sad look on his face and couldn't help but give instructions.
Meng Xiuyuan was so happy at the sight that he almost heard the sound of his heart breaking, so he smiled and shook his head and said comfortingly:
"There's no rush. Please ask the abbot to get some paper and pen. I'll write the "Nine Yang Divine Art" to you first."
After hearing this, the expression on his face softened slightly, and he secretly thought that Mr. Meng's attitude was quite good. Although he still didn't have high hopes for the "Nine Yang Magic", he still hurriedly thanked him, and then sent a young novice to bring the table.
A chair, an oil lamp, and the four treasures of the study.
The walls were destroyed and the cool breeze blew through the Muni Hall. Meng Xiuyuan just sat down and started writing silently. But that day, none of the dragon monks dared to leave, they all just stood there and waited quietly for Meng Xiuyuan.
Until late at night, Meng Xiuyuan put down his pen and raised his head, and saw that none of the monks had left. They were still carefully forming a circle to protect the six volumes of sword manuals.
He shook his head helplessly, dried the ink on the paper, collected it into a pile and handed it to Abbot Ben Yin:
"The full text of "Nine Yang Magic" is here. I have checked it and there are no errors or omissions.
I also invite all the masters to take a look at it."
Abbot Benyin carefully took it and gave it to Zen Master Kurong for detailed reference. Then he did not break his promise and solemnly helped Meng Xiuyuan hang up the six sword manuals and personally lit a lamp next to them for Meng Xiuyuan to see.
In this way, in the middle of the night, both sides started studying martial arts.
Although Meng Xiuyuan had already roughly learned the "Guanchong Sword" from Duan Zhengming, he still couldn't help but admire it when he took a closer look at the Six Meridians Divine Sword Manual.
The luck path of the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" is roughly the six meridians on the hand in the Twelve Meridians. Compared with other martial arts, there is nothing strange about it.
The secret of being able to condense energy into a sword lies in the subtle changes.
Taking the Shaochong Sword on the little finger of the right hand as an example, the true energy passes through the Shaoyin Heart Meridian of the hand, starting from the Jiquan point under the armpit, going three inches above the elbow to the Qingling point, to the Shaohai point behind the elbow retraction, and passing through the Lingdao.
Tongli, Yinqie, Shenmen and Shaofu points lead to the Shaochong point on the little finger.
When the true energy flows through each section, it needs to be controlled in different specific states. Sometimes the speed is fast, sometimes slow. The flow of true energy is sometimes more, sometimes less. The requirements are very strict.
If there are any mistakes or omissions, the power of the sword energy will be reduced at least, or it will not be possible to execute the move at all.
Only when every step is done correctly can the truly powerful sword energy be shot out from the fingers. It can be said that the requirements for internal cultivation are extremely high.
It's no wonder that in the original work, even though Duan Yu possesses unparalleled true energy, when it comes to using the "Six Meridians Divine Sword", he still has troubles and needs to try his luck.
Meng Xiuyuan has been meditating for thirty years in total during his two lifetimes, and has the "Small Wuxiang Gong" by his side. It can be said that he controls the true energy to the smallest detail, so such a request is certainly not a problem for him.
In no more than a stick of incense, Meng Xiuyuan had roughly mastered the luck of the "Six Meridians Divine Sword". He made "chichi" sounds on his fingers and tried every sword energy over and over again.
Keep studying further.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Master Kurong speaking to him among the monks in Tianlong Temple behind him:
"What Benefactor Meng said is true, this "Nine Yang Divine Skill" is indeed a rare internal skill in the world, far surpassing most of the internal skills in our Dali Duan clan and Tianlong Temple.
The original cause and the original object, you all come here to understand together."
When he said this, Ben Yin and others were very surprised. Because they knew that Zen Master Kurong would not be polite on this kind of issue.
Excitement arose spontaneously, and the monks hurriedly came to Zen Master Kurong's side, flattened the paper with "Nine Yang Magic" on the ground, and carefully used the light to
After not waiting for a long time, the monks were already entranced, and the only sound left in the room was the soft "crackling" sound of the burning wicks.
It was not an accident that Meng Xiu saw this scene. When he proposed the exchange of martial arts, he had already thought clearly that this "Nine Yang Divine Art" was definitely very important to Tianlong Temple.
Because both "One Yang Finger" and "Six Meridians Divine Sword" focus on the cultivation of internal strength. Without profound internal strength, it is like duckweed without roots.
However, the internal strength passed down from generation to generation by the Duan family in Dali cannot be considered to be the best. At most, it can only be said to be the first-class internal strength in the world.
Therefore, even though all the monks are quite talented in martial arts, at the age of fifty or sixty, they can still barely use a line of sword energy to practice the "One Yang Finger" to the fourth level.
Of course, the reason why Zen Master Kurong said that "Nine Yang Divine Skills" far surpassed "most" internal skills of Tianlong Temple is because there is another "Kurong Zen Skill" that he practiced himself and was not included in the calculation.
As one of the two major martial arts of Tianlong Temple, "Kurong Zen Kung Fu" is actually a profound and profound internal skill. When practiced to a high level, it is equally mysterious and extraordinary.
Unfortunately, looking at the state of Zen Master Kurong, we can see that this kung fu requires too high a practitioner's Buddhist understanding. Zen Master Kurong has been studying hard for a lifetime, but he still can't break through the realm of "neither withering nor glory, and withering and glory", so that
Kung Fu failed to reach its peak.
The following monks, the original cause and the original phase, did not have that understanding. Seeing the situation of Zen Master Kurong, they gave up this unique skill one after another.
At this time, Meng Xiuyuan presented the "Nine Sun Magic Skills", which was a timely help for them and was quite crucial.
Although they have practiced Duan's Internal Kung Fu for decades and cannot immediately switch to the "Nine Yang Divine Kung Fu", they have already benefited a lot from just referring to its principles.
One night passed, no one, whether it was Meng Xiuyuan or the monks of Tianlong Temple, left the Muni Hall, and they were all immersed in the study of martial arts.
It wasn't until the sky became slightly brighter that Meng Xiuyuan had memorized all six sword manuals, then he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said:
"Thank you masters, I have finished reading "Six Meridians Divine Sword", so I won't disturb you anymore.
Please rest assured that I will not pass on my skills to others."
After hearing this, the Tianlong monks who were originally immersed in the "Nine Yang Divine Art" quickly waved their hands and thanked Meng Xiuyuan:
"Mr. Meng, you are so polite. The spiritual mystery of this "Nine Yang Magic" has really benefited us a lot.
In exchange for such skill, you allow so many people from Tianlong Temple to practice together. It should be that we take advantage.
Sir, please rest assured that we will not spread this "Nine Yang Divine Art" lightly even in the temple.
Defending powerful enemies and exchanging martial arts, Tianlong Temple will never forget this kindness."
Ben Yin and others said a lot of words of thanks like this, which was a 180-degree change from the way they were reluctant to hand over the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" last night.
Even under their kind invitation, Meng Xiuyuan still had a very sumptuous vegetarian meal in Tianlong Temple before being sent out of the temple by everyone.
It is worth mentioning that Duan Zhengming was also the one who left the temple with Meng Xiuyuan.
Although this Prince Duan has become a monk in order to learn the Six Meridians Divine Sword, after all, Dali cannot be without a king for a day. He still has to go back to handle the affairs of the court and "temporarily take over" the throne in name.
Perhaps he would have to stay for a few years, and when the time was ripe, he would pass on to his younger brother Duan Zhengchun, who, like many of his predecessors as the Dali Emperor, would come to spend his later years in Tianlong Temple.
"Mr. Meng, don't think I'm nagging you. I still want to thank you again..."
Not long after the two of them left Tianlong Temple and were on their way to Dali City, Duan Zhengming suddenly said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"You destroyed the four evil men, forced away Jiumozhi, saved me from danger, and brought the Duan family that unparalleled feat.
There are so many things that are difficult to describe in words, but the kindness among them really makes me grateful.
If there is anything I can help you with in the future, Mr. Meng, please feel free to do so.
As long as we don't use weapons and don't cause disaster to the people, I, the Dali State, will not dare to refuse."
Meng Xiuyuan was originally thinking about the "Six Meridians Divine Sword", but when he suddenly heard Duan Zhengming say this, he couldn't help but feel happy.
He knew that this Prince Duan was smart and capable, but not someone who liked to be long-winded. There was naturally a profound meaning in his words.
It seems that Meng Xiuyuan saved the emperor Duan Zhengming this time, so that he would not be captured by Jiumozhi and used as a hostage in Tibet to threaten the Dali Kingdom. This was indeed a great kindness to the Dali Kingdom and made Dali feel compelled to do so both emotionally and rationally.
repay.
However, Meng Xiuyuan's move also offended Jiumozhi, and even offended the entire Tubo Kingdom.
So Duan Zhengming took precautions and made a vague statement in advance, saying that no matter what Meng Xiuyuan wanted Dali to do for him or what benefits he wanted to give him, there would be no problem.
The only thing is that if Jiumozhi comes to seek revenge in the future, Dali must not be allowed to oppose Tubo in order to protect him, or even fight with each other.
When these words first sounded, it seemed that Duan Zhengming was a little ruthless. After all, Meng Xiuyuan formed a grudge against the Tubo Kingdom because he protected him and helped Tianlong Temple, but now he wanted to get rid of the relationship.
But upon further reflection, Meng Xiuyuan actually understood Duan Zhengming's psychology as a monarch of a weak country, and even admired his love for the people as an emperor.
Therefore, Meng Xiuyuan immediately laughed and said to Emperor Baoding cheerfully:
"Emperor Duan, if you say that, I won't be polite.
I have two things that I really need your help with."
"Oh? Mr. Meng, please tell me, I will try my best to help you do it."
Duan Zhengming saw Meng Xiuyuan acting like this and knew that Meng Xiuyuan agreed with the hidden meaning of his words, so he couldn't help but be very happy.
Meng Xiuyuan nodded and said:
“The first thing is that I heard that there is an ‘Eternal Spring Valley’ north of Dali, and I wanted to visit it.
It's just that I'm not familiar with the place, so it would be too much effort for me to search by myself.
I hope Mr. Duan, you can send someone to guide me."
Duan Zhengming nodded immediately after hearing this and said seriously:
"Although I have never heard of the 'Eternal Spring Valley', as long as it really exists, it will be easy to find it.

Don't worry, Mr. Meng, I will arrange for people to go to the north to investigate when we get back, and I will definitely give you the news as soon as possible.
This is nothing, it doesn’t take any effort at all, Meng Shaoxia, please tell me the second thing."
Meng Xiuyuan was not polite when he heard this, and immediately continued:
"The second thing is that I have two elders in my family who have to support me. If I want them to enjoy their old age comfortably, it will take a lot of money.
I was short of money and wanted to buy a big house for them, but I couldn't afford it.
I hope you, Mr. Duan, can help sponsor some."
Duan Zhengming couldn't help but feel speechless after hearing Meng Xiuyuan's second request. He never expected that Meng Xiuyuan, a peerless expert, would actually ask for money.
But after a moment, he realized what he was doing and knew that Meng Xiuyuan was deliberately trying to get him down, and he didn't want to make any excessive demands.
For a moment, Duan Zhengming couldn't help but admire Meng Xiuyuan's demeanor, and immediately said solemnly:
"Although Dali is not rich, it doesn't matter if you repay your benefactor with some gold and silver.
Mr. Meng has a high moral integrity, and I, Duan Zhengming, will remember this.
Although you have finished talking about your two things, the love between us does not stop here..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this point, Duan Zhengming did not say any more, while Meng Xiuyuan smiled and nodded without answering.
The two of them walked all the way to Dali City surrounded by guards.
Unexpectedly, not long after I walked out, I suddenly saw a staggering figure walking towards me.
He was leaning on crutches, his eyes were distracted, and his steps were difficult. He didn't even look at the royal guards when he saw them, and just walked in the direction of Tianlong Temple as if no one was watching.
Looking at his appearance, there is no doubt that he is Duan Yanqing.
Meng Xiu saw the situation and probably understood the reason, so he greeted and asked:
"Hey, have you verified what I told you?"
When Yanqing heard Meng Xiuyuan's voice, he suddenly trembled. He turned around and saw Meng Xiuyuan among the crowd.
Naturally, he saw Duan Zhengming next to Meng Xiuyuan, but he really didn't pay attention. Instead, he just took two steps forward, tried hard to gather the energy in his belly, and said excitedly to Meng Xiuyuan:
"It's been verified, yes, what you said is correct.
I just want to tell you personally, so I went to Tianlong Temple to find you.
Since I met you here, I don’t have to walk far anymore.
Hahaha, thank you!
I have a son, and I am a human being just like you, hahahahaha..."
The guards around Duan Zhengming saw this beggar-looking man's excited words and deeds and his crazy behavior. They wanted to stop him with their hands, but before they touched his body, they heard his laughter getting smaller and then fell to the ground.
.
The guard hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. He subconsciously felt for his pulse and listened for his breath. He couldn't help being startled. He quickly stood up and said to Duan Zhengming:
"Your Majesty, this man is dead."
Duan Zhengming had never seen Duan Yanqing in person, and he didn't know his identity for a while. He couldn't help but asked Meng Xiuyuan in confusion:
"Mr. Meng, you seem to know this man. Who is he?"
Meng Xiuyuan pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then answered:
"This is a man who has done many evil things and deserves to die... and is somewhat pitiful."
