Chapter Twenty-Four: Master Kurong's Temptation
Hearing Duan Zhengchun's voice, the middle-aged monk slowly stopped practicing the sword posture in his hand and replied, "Hmm!", and then, he looked at the monk sitting in the innermost part of the middle, and said respectfully, "Master, they are here." β
The monk in the middle looked not young, estimated to be seventy or eighty years old, the most surprising thing was that his face was smooth and wrinkled on one side, looking terrifying, and the sword aura on his body was the strongest, giving Bai Yi a faint sense of danger.
"Half withered and half-honored, it seems that he is the withered master!" Bai Yi said secretly.
At this time, Master Kurong also stopped, looked up at Duan Zhengchun, Duan Yu, Bai Yi and Ah Zi standing in the hall, especially Bai Yi and Ah Zi for a moment, and finally said:
"Stop, Ben Yin, you first take Yu'er to the inner room to observe the six-vein divine sword map. β
The other five people nodded when they heard this, and immediately got up, and one of the kind-looking monks greeted everyone, he was the current host of Tianlong Temple, Duan Zhengchun's uncle, Ben Yin!
Ben Yin walked up to Duan Yu and said:
"Yu'er, come with me!"
Duan Yu bowed his head and made a Buddha salute, and then nodded respectfully, the people in Tianlong Temple were all the elders of his Duan clan, and he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately followed Ben Yin to the inner hall.
After Duan Yu left, Master Kurong set his eyes on Bai Yi and Ah Zi again.
"You're Zhengchun's recently retrieved daughter, Ah Zi?" said Master Kurong to Ah Zi.
"Exactly, what's wrong?" Ah Zi frowned, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, it was really Master Kurong who not only had a terrifying face, but also did not smile, and his tone of voice had a feeling of superiority, which made Ah Zi a little uncomfortable, and naturally a little unpolite when he spoke.
When Duan Zhengchun heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he immediately scolded Ah Zi: "Ah Zi, don't be rude! This is your great-grandfather!"
Of course, Master Kurong is not Ah Zi's direct great-grandfather, but his generation is that of Ah Zi's great-grandfather, so it is not wrong to say that he is Ah Zi's great-grandfather.
Duan Zhengchun then turned around and respectfully apologized to Master Kurong: "Elder Kurong, Ah Zi has been scattered all these years, lacks discipline, and has a somewhat wild temperament. β
Ah Zi pursed her lips, a little disapprehensive in her heart, but she still said, "Great-grandfather, I was rude just now." β
Ku Rong's face was still unwavering, but he waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter. Is it true that Masaaki said that you and the young man next to you have a deeper internal force than your father?"
Ah Zi nodded, "Well, my internal strength is deeper than my father's, but Big Brother Bai's internal strength is deeper than mine!"
"Oh, Master Bai Shi, I heard Zhengming say that you were originally Ding Chunqiu's disciples, and I have also heard of this Ding Chunqiu, but even he will not be much higher than Zhengchun in terms of internal strength, with your age, you are even deeper than Zhengchun in terms of internal strength?" Master Kurong asked Bai Yi, still a little puzzled in his words. After all, he has to fight against Haruma Zhi next, so he can't be cautious.
Bai Yi smiled and said, "If Master Kurong doesn't believe it, you can give it a try!"
Master Kurong nodded when he heard this, "That's rude." After speaking, Master Kurong catapulted towards the two of them, stretched out his palms and slapped them at the two.
Seeing Master Kurong's palms clapping, Bai Yi and Ah Zi hurriedly used their internal force in their palms, and then connected with Master Kurong's palms. To test the internal strength of others, it is naturally a good way to be on the palm.
Bang!
A powerful impact sounded coming, and Master Kurong's palms were blocked by Bai Yi and Ah Zi.
Bai Yi only felt that there seemed to be two forces attacking from Master Kurong's palm, one giving people a sense of vitality and the other giving people a sense of withering and dead silence.
"It seems that this is Kuronggong, and there are really some doorways!"
However, although the two strengths of Ku Ronggong are ingenious, the true qi of the Northern Darkness is even better, and when those two energies enter the bodies of Bai Yi and Ah Zi, they are like water merging into the sea, without the slightest ripple, and they are absorbed by the true qi of the Northern Darkness.
As long as they don't want to, there will be no more cases where they will take the initiative to absorb the internal force in other people's bodies, of course, for this withered internal force that takes the initiative to enter their bodies, it is naturally unceremonious to accept it.
It seems that he realized that his Kurong strength did not have the slightest impact on Bai Yi and Ah Zi, and Bai Yi and Ah Zi also seemed to be extremely relaxed, it seemed that it was not effortless to take his palm, and Master Kurong couldn't help but be surprised, and he already believed in his heart that Bai Yi and the two had a deeper internal force than Duan Zhengchun, because although his palm was just a temptation, it also used seventy or eighty percent of the internal force, but he had already sent and received it as his heart when he cultivated Kurong Gong, if he found that Bai Yi and the two could not catch his palm, he could also take it back at any time, but he didn't expect that his palm had no effect on Bai Yi and Ah Zi at allοΌ
This is no longer the internal force that is deeper than Duan Zhengchun, it is estimated that it is deeper than his own internal force in the past sixty or seventy years!
"Okay! It seems that your internal strength is really deep, so you have a better chance of resisting Gu Mozhi later!" Master Kurong stood with his palms and said, "I really don't know how you practice, you already have a deep internal strength that is no less than a first-class master at a young age, what two little monsters!"
Bai Yi smiled, arched his hand to Master Kurong and said, "Thank you Master for your praise, Ah Zi and I only had occasional encounters, so we have this profound internal strength, which is not comparable to Master, what you have gained from decades of hard work." β
Bai Yi said and glanced at Ah Zi, their internal strength is not practiced, but sucked by others, sure enough, this unearned gain is the fastest way to accumulate internal strength!
Master Kurong waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be too humble, with your internal strength, it is difficult to have someone with stronger internal force than you in the rivers and lakes, even if it is Beiqiao Feng and Nan Murong, it may not be able to beat you in terms of internal force, but the palm power of you just now has not changed at all, you should simply attach the internal force to the palm, such a way of using internal force is inevitably too simple, it seems that you are lacking in moves!"
Bai Yi and Ah Zi nodded, this Master Kurong is worthy of being a martial arts master, although martial arts are only at the middle level among first-class masters, but this insight is extraordinary, and he can see the shortcomings of himself and Ah Zi from the simple palms just now.
Bai Yi saluted Master Kurong and said, "The master is right! There is a reluctant request below, I wonder if the master can agree?"
"Oh, let's hear it. β
"I want Ah Zi to learn the Six-Vein Divine Sword!" Bai Yi said in a shocking voice, making everyone present stunned.
As the highest mastery of Tianlong Temple, the six-vein divine sword has always been only learned and practiced by monks of Tianlong Temple, although no one has been able to practice all of them for so many years, and Duan Zhengming, as the emperor of Dali, has to shave his hair to become a monk in the Guan Chong sword to practice, Ah Zi is the daughter of Duan Zhengchun, although he is also a disciple of the Duan family, but he is not qualified to practice the six-vein divine sword, unless Ah Zi is a monk in Tianlong Temple as a nun, but Tianlong Temple does not accept nuns!
Master Ku Rong hesitated for a while, looked back and forth between Ah Zi and Bai Yi, and finally turned back to one of the burly monks and shouted, "Ben Shen, you can take the two of them to the inner room to watch the Six-Vein Divine Sword Atlas!"
"This ......" Ben Shen hesitated, he didn't expect that Master Kurong would really agree to let Ah Zi watch the six-vein divine sword map, and even if Ah Zi was barely qualified, but Bai Yi, as an outsider, how could he see the six-vein divine sword map!
Not to mention that Ben Shen didn't expect it, even Bai Yi didn't expect that Master Kurong not only agreed to let Ah Zi learn the Six Veins Divine Sword, but also brought himself with him!
The last step of his plan was originally to let Ah Zi learn the Six-Vein Divine Sword first, and then Ah Zi handed over the Six-Vein Divine Sword to himself, although this is a bit of a feeling of eating soft rice, but Bai Yi has been eating soft rice since he was a child, and he used to rely on Mo Xiaoqin to protect him when he was a child, and now it is nothing to rely on Ah Zi to get the Six-Vein Divine Sword.
And at this moment when Gu Mozhi is about to ask Ah Zi to learn the Six-Vein Divine Sword, Bai Yi expects that Master Kurong will agree, after all, Ah Zi's current internal strength is profound, and he has fully reached the qualification to learn the Six-Vein Divine Sword, and there is one more master who can know the Six-Vein Divine Sword to deal with Gu Mozhi, there is no reason why he will not agree, and Ah Zi is still a disciple of the Duan family.
It's just that Bai Yi himself didn't expect Master Kurong to agree so readily, so that Bai Yi didn't have time to say a lot of words in his heart to state the stakes, and he also let himself go to watch the Six Veins Divine Sword Atlas.
Seeing that Ben Shen was a little hesitant, Master Kurong also understood their thoughts in his heart, and said:
"Self-observation and self-study, do not violate the ancestral teachings!"
In the original book of this sentence, Master Ku Rong also said to Duan Yu that the lay disciples of the Duan family, if they watched the six-vein divine sword atlas by themselves and learned the six-vein divine sword by themselves, it would not be considered a violation of the ancestral teachings!
Master Ku Rong then said to Bai Yi: "Master Bai, I want to accept you as my lay disciple, I don't know if you are willing?"
Listening to Master Kurong's question, Bai Yi couldn't help but be stunned, and then reacted, and couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart: "Gao! self-study and self-study, do not violate the ancestral teachings, and then accept me as his lay disciple, so that I also have the qualifications to watch the six-vein divine sword atlas, and I am worthy of being an old monster who has lived for sixty or seventy years." β
But what good will it do him to take himself as an apprentice? Yes, his internal strength is so deep, his future achievements will definitely be extraordinary, tying himself to the ship of the Duan clan in Dali, Yu Dali and the Duan clan are all beneficial and harmless!
Thinking of this, Bai Yi nodded and said, "The master is willing to accept the kid as a lay disciple, the kid is not very honored!"
Master Kurong gave a rare smile, though it looked scary on his half-withered face.
"Time is urgent, the apprenticeship ceremony will be waived first, and then it will be held after defeating Gu Mozhi, you and Ah Zi will go to the inner hall to comprehend the six-vein divine sword first!" said Master Kurong. γ
"Yes!" Bai Yi replied, looking at Ben Shen and showing a smile, "Senior Brother Ben Shen?"
Since Master Kurong said this, Ben Shen no longer had the slightest doubt in his heart, and said to Bai Yi:
"Senior brother and Ah Zi come with me!"
Then, Ben Shen took Bai Yi and Ah Zi to the inner hall.
Looking at the backs of Bai Yi and Ah Zi, Master Kurong muttered:
"The hope of Dali's rise is on you!"
Tianlong Temple is indeed not as good as Shaolin Temple, but if Tianlong Temple has two first-class top masters, Tianlong Temple's status in the rivers and lakes can at least be compared with Shaolin Temple.
Moreover, the Dali Duan family is not only a family of rivers and lakes, but also a royal family of Dali, representing the country of Dali, and there are two first-class top masters guarding the country of Dali, which is undoubtedly a deterrent to the surrounding countries!
Bai Yi is indeed not a disciple of the Duan family, but if he can give birth to a boy and a girl with Ah Zi, then isn't their child a descendant of the Duan family?
It can only be said that Master Kurong not only thinks far-reaching, but also ...... Think too much!
