Chapter 10: Four Years
The grass grows and the warbler flies, and spring goes to autumn. Duan Xing has been coming to Shijie of Tianlong Babu for a full ten years, since he began to practice Yiyang Finger with Emperor Baoding four years ago, Duan Xing's martial arts have made rapid progress, due to Duan Xing's internal body Ren Du Ermai and Yitong, the innate true qi continues to be strong, Duan Xing has basically not encountered any obstacles in the martial arts cultivation of Yiyang Finger, which is purely supported by meridians and internal strength, and his cultivation career has been smooth sailing.
Dali Duan's fame and mastery of the One Yang Finger is divided into nine layers, except for the host of the Tianlong Temple, no one knows that the introductory kung fu for cultivating the Six Veins Divine Sword is the One Yang Finger, and the attainment of the One Yang Finger must be above the seventh layer before you can start cultivating the Six Veins Divine Sword. Since Duan Siming, the founding emperor of Dali, successfully cultivated the Six-Vein Divine Sword, whether it was the Dali royal family or Tianlong Temple, no one had completely cultivated the Six-Vein Divine Sword.
Including the outstanding talent of the previous host of Tianlong Temple, he only cultivated one of the veins, and when he forcibly practiced the second vein swordsmanship, due to the lack of true qi, the meridians were reversed, and he was left with a disability, and he hastily passed the position of presiding officer to the current presiding master, Master Kurong, and sternly warned that if he was not born for a day, he should not forcibly practice the second vein swordsmanship. It is also for this reason that for Master Kurong, it is also his hope to be able to see the full six veins divine sword with his own eyes. So when he saw Duan Xing's innate true qi turning, he was really overjoyed, and made an exception and promised to teach Duan Xing's six-vein divine sword in advance.
Of course, if Master Kurong can ascend to the innate by himself, it would be the best, but the world is impermanent, and Master Kurong does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to rely on the ordinary internal strength of Tianlong Temple to cultivate to the innate within his lifetime, and his expectations for Duan Xing will be very great.
Duan Xing did not disappoint Master Kurong and Emperor Baoding, when he was four years old, Duan Xing stubbornly cultivated the Yiyang Finger to the seventh layer of perfection, and it was only one step away from the eighth layer, and the attainments of the Yiyang Finger were already comparable to Emperor Baoding, and there was still a little distance from Master Kurong, so in addition to occasionally asking Emperor Baoding and Master Kurong for some other exercises in his daily life, and from time to time to learn from each other to increase his own combat experience, Duan Xing's current cultivation mostly depends on his own and the experience of his predecessors.
Compared with Duan Xing's Yiyang Finger's kung fu, it is not very satisfactory in the cultivation of internal strength, although the Pure Yang Supreme Gong is also a peerless internal strength method, but first, the cultivation of internal strength is not an overnight thing, and the second is that Duan Xing's true qi is already innate true qi, and the difference is only in the accumulation of quantity, if you can see the second half of the pure Yang Supreme Gong, how to cultivate the innate true qi may make Duan Xing's internal strength improve by leaps and bounds. Even so, Duan Xing's true qi strength now has steadily stepped into the ranks of first-class masters, comparable to Emperor Baoding ten years ago.
In four years, whether it is Dali or the Northern Song Dynasty, in comparison, it is still calm. It's just that the Khitan is strong, and the country is gradually becoming stronger. Western Xia also established the "Yipintang" to recruit masters from the Central Plains. The two countries are not willing to be lonely, and there are frictions in the border areas with the Central Plains from time to time, and the autumn breeze has become commonplace.
Gao Shengtai Gao Xiangguo's father and son have not made any big moves in recent years, I don't know if it is because Emperor Baoding has the support of Tianlong Temple or because of other reasons, the two do not say that they are working diligently, and in general, people can't find any faults, and the confrontation with the king of Zhennan, and the mutual demolition of each other is obviously less. It's just that Gao Shengtai has been very close to the army generals in recent years, and he still holds great power in the court, so he can't help but worry about the regime of Emperor Baoding.
Because he didn't have to learn martial arts in Tianlong Temple every day, Duan Xing began to walk around in Dali in his spare time in addition to practicing, especially in the vicinity of Wuliang Mountain, which made several attendants who were ordered by Emperor Baoding to protect the little prince quite curious, and didn't know where Wuliang Mountain could attract His Royal Highness the Prince.
This matter is very strange, Emperor Baoding also asked Duan Xing after hearing it, but unfortunately he couldn't hear anything useful from Duan Xing's mouth, so he let it go.
"Tomorrow is the Torch Festival, after the Torch Festival, I will go to Tianlong Temple to learn the six-vein sword, I guess I don't have time to find the Northern Shengong, no, I have to go today, I have to go for four years, the approximate place is about to know, and I will strive to win it in one fell swoop today." "Having just finished cultivating the Inner Strength Mind Method of a Great Zhou Tian, Duan Xing was secretly pondering in his heart as he walked outside the house.
As soon as the four-person group responsible for the daily protection of Duan Xing saw Duan Xing come out, they guessed that this prince was going to Wuliang Mountain again, since the prince entered the realm of first-class masters, the number of times he went to Wuliang Mountain has been increasing, and sometimes he even went to it twice a week, making several guards helpless.
And in addition to going up to Wuliang Mountain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is good at serving, except for eating, he basically practices in the house, which also makes the guard quartet sincerely admire. A child who is less than ten years old practices all day long and never plays much, and it is really unreasonable if this skill is not practiced quickly.
Duan Zhao, the boss of the four-person escort group, stepped forward and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, but today you are going to Wuliang Mountain?"
"Tomorrow is the Torch Festival, so we have to hurry up and go again today. Duan Xing didn't raise his head and hurriedly walked out.
"I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking for any items? Why don't you tell Weichen and let Weichen and a few others send someone to look for it, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the province will find it himself?" Although Zhao Zhao didn't know how many times he had asked in the past four years, he was still very curious about a child who was a few years old and ran to the mountains every day to find something, so he asked again today.
"No, you can do whatever you have to do, I'll go by myself today. Duan Xing waved his hand, and he didn't need Zhao Bao and the four of them to reply, he took a horse and went straight to Wuliang Mountain, leaving the four people who looked at each other. Zuihou still spoke from Duan Zhao: "Fourth, you hurry up and tell Bixia, just say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone to Wuliang Mountain alone." Duan Zhao said like the thinnest of the four.
"Okay!" didn't say much, Duan Bao, the youngest of the four, performed light skills and rushed all the way to the direction where Emperor Baoding was.
Speaking of the names of these four people or the name given by Duan Xing at the beginning, these four people were orphans, in the Dali Forbidden Army because of their strong martial arts, and the importance of love and righteousness, especially by the Baoding Emperor to Duan Xing as a bodyguard, because it is an orphan, the name is not heard, Baoding Emperor gave Duan Xing, which means that from now on, the four of them are Dali Duan-style retainers, the four of them are overjoyed, and they are willing to protect Duan Xing, how to look, the protection of the future emperor is only good for them, there is no harm, but when it comes to Duan Xing's name, there is a small twist and turn.
Duan Xing couldn't think of any good name for a while, so he made a spoof of the four words "fortune and treasure", one for each person, and the four of them could not disobey the order, so they could only accept it, although they were entangled for a while, but it was also the name given by His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was much stronger than the original one that had no name or was simply Dasha, Da Zhuang and the like. The four guards of Fortune and Treasure have since become Duan Xing's personal bodyguards.
