Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 584: The Thirteenth Level of Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and Its Additional Effects

An hour later.

Chu Pingsheng met the leader of the Dongming Sect, Shan Meixian, in the front hall.

He looked a little different from the last time we met. He looked thinner, with sunken cheeks. His robe, which originally fitted him well, seemed much looser. I don’t know if it was because he was angry at his disobedient daughter.

"Jing'er told me everything that happened in Chang'an. Thank you, Master Chai, for your help."

"It takes a little effort, but it doesn't matter."

Shan Meixian took two steps forward, untied the sword from her waist and handed it to him: "This is the Dongming Sword, the sect treasure of my Dongming Sect. I hope Master Chai will accept it."

"Master Shan, what do you mean? I've already told you that saving your daughter is a piece of cake."

"I never like to owe favors to others."

Chu Pingsheng stared into her eyes for a while, and said with a half-smile: "I'm afraid... things are not as simple as you said. Are you still jealous of your mother?"

Shan Meixian: “…”

Chu Pingsheng threw the Dongming Sword back: "Just think of this as Zhu Yuyan's doing. It's only natural for a grandmother to rescue her granddaughter."

Shan Meixian said bitterly: "I don't have a mother like her."

"Then do you think that the Dongming Sect, an overseas force, can move freely in the Central Plains just because you have always remained neutral? Just like what Pei Renji and Yuwen Chengdu did, there are countless separatist forces who are eyeing the Dongming Sect's blacksmithing skills. If they were not worried that Zhu Yuyan would come after them, who knows how much trouble the Dongming Sect would have caused over the years."

"..."

Chu Pingsheng continued, "I have promised your daughter that I will give her a chance to avenge Bian Bufu."

Shan Meixian said: "Will Zhu Yuyan allow you to do this?"

Chu Pingsheng just smiled and didn't explain.

"What is your relationship with her?"

According to outsiders, he is a key figure in the alliance between the Yingui Sect and the Daming Zunjiao, and plays the role of a bridge. However, judging from the current situation, the truth is probably much more complicated than the rumors.

Chu Pingsheng still didn't answer her question: "Shan Wanjing told me that you are an outsider in Dongming Sect. Although you are the head of the sect, you still need to consult Shang Gong and his son on many matters. If you want, I can help you deal with them."

Shan Meixian shook her head and said, "Back then, I fled from the Yingui Sect because I hated Zhu Yuyan and fled overseas. The ship I was on encountered a storm, and it was Shang Gong who brought people to rescue me and later supported me to become the head of the Dongming Sect."

Chu Pingsheng did not force it: "Okay, this is a conflict within the Dongming Sect, I will not interfere."

Shan Meixian looked at the Dongming Sword in her hand and still felt a little guilty: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Chu Pingsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."

"What do you mean?"

"..."

Chu Pingsheng hesitated for a moment and spoke a few words.

Shan Meixian thought for a while and her eyes brightened up.

……

Half a month later, he became the number one in the world.

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

The sun was fierce and the heat was unbearable, but it still couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of this group of special guests, from the woodcutter in shorts, to the dark-skinned hunter, to the skinny and poor scholar with a cleanly washed gown, to the old farm woman who carried a vegetable basket and pulled a tug with the pawnshop clerk, trying to make a show of her skills. In short, the crowd formed a long line that stretched from the center of the street to the end.

Tuan held a piece of paper in his hand and called out names. Those who were called went inside first, and only those who could lift the 200-jin stone lock would be arranged to rest in the backyard.

"I have worked so hard to cultivate my skills, but I am selling them just like that... Alas."

Fu Junyu was wearing a white long skirt, dark green soft boots, and holding a long sword with tassels in her hand. She followed Chu Pingsheng along the street. From her perspective, she could not understand the choice of the group of people at the door of Tianxia No. 1.

"What's so regrettable? In times of war, selling children is common, not to mention a year of hard work. If you feel sorry, they are very grateful to me."

Fu Junyu said, "I don't understand. Your martial arts skills are already very high. How much effect can the crude Qi in these people's bodies have on you?"

"Let's give it a try. What if it works?" Chu Pingsheng replied indifferently.

“Oh right…” She didn’t know what she was thinking about, and a trace of uneasiness appeared on her face: “Why did you save me when we were in Yang Gong’s treasury?”

Chu Pingsheng circled his fingers around his neck and asked, "Are you referring to the time you committed suicide, or the time in the cold pond?"

Thinking of the scene in the cold pond, Fu Junyu felt his face getting slightly hot.

“All…all.”

"You are my maid. You have only worked for two months and you want to be free. Do you think I will let you go to see the King of Hell so easily?"

"You!" She was so angry that her teeth were clenched and her eyes were cold.

Chu Pingsheng continued, "How about this, I'll save your life and give you five more years. I saved you twice in Yang Gong's treasury, so that's ten years in total. Counting the three years before, you have to serve me wholeheartedly for the next thirteen years. When I tell you to go east, you can't go west. When I tell you to massage my feet, you have to ask, 'Master, do you need a leg massage?'"

"You devil!"

"Congratulations, you got it."

Chu Pingsheng turned inside, and his figure disappeared in the restless crowd accompanied by Tuan's excited shout, but a sentence came into Fu Junyu's ears.

"Yesterday, Shangguan Long from the Luoyang Gang sent someone to deliver a message that Gao Jianwu, the King of Goryeo, went to look for your master. If he knew that Gai Suwen died at my hands and came to take my head so that Gao Jianwu could unify Goryeo, what would you choose?"

Fu Junyu's body trembled, and he stood there in a daze, as if petrified.

……

On the other side, Chu Pingsheng came to the quiet room in the backyard of the pawnshop, and Jin An, who came to help, walked in with a man wearing a short jacket on the upper body and shorts on the lower body. He had a strong body, solid muscles, and powerful limbs. It was obvious at a glance that he had practiced the Dragon Elephant Kung Fu well.

The man looked him up and down for a long time: "Mr. Chai...Mr. Chai, have we... met before?"

Jin An pulled his face and said, "Don't try to make friends with me. When did my young master make friends with you?"

"Jin An."

Chu Pingsheng scolded, looked at the man carefully, and smiled.

"Yes, I have seen it. Is that yellow dog at the entrance of the village still barking? Sanniu's wife, if everything goes well, she will be giving birth soon, right?"

The man blinked, looked again and again, thought again and again, and felt the hairs on his body stand up.

"I remember now, you...you...you are..."

His home was twenty miles southwest of Luoyang. One day last year, he was returning home from farm work with his father and son. On the way, he met a very beautiful woman who was carrying a paralyzed young man on her back and asked for directions. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the young man suddenly became well, pulled out a sword and swung it with his hand, splitting the old locust tree at the entrance of the village into two halves.

At that time, his son said "I want to learn". It was this opportunity that allowed him to see the secret book of Dragon Elephant Kung Fu at the village chief's house. He also heard that the son of the Chai family, known as the richest man in the world, was willing to pay a large sum of money to buy the skills of Dragon Elephant Kung Fu. So he made up his mind to try it out. Even if the Chai family went back on their word and he could not pawn his skills to pay back the money, he could at least develop some strength, which would be good for doing farm work by himself and doing the work of two people in the future.

So the father and son practiced according to the patterns in the book. Unexpectedly, his progress was very fast. In less than a year, he had reached the standard of great success in the book. Now he is as strong as an ox, and they don't even need animals to do farm work.

A few days ago, after receiving the news that the number one pawn in the world had started to collect his power, he changed into clean clothes and went into the city on time. After all, a cow was only worth a dozen taels of silver, and his full power was worth two hundred taels of silver. After exchanging the silver to buy a cow, he could still have more than one hundred and eighty taels left, which was enough to cover their family's expenses for seven or eight years.

Unexpectedly, when I entered the city, I found that the young master of the Chai family was the godlike figure I had met before.

Jin An blinked and said, "Sir, do you really know each other?"

"It can be considered... we met once."

"Heh, I didn't expect that the first guest was an acquaintance. Quite..."

"Destined?"

Chu Pingsheng thought for a moment and said, "Well, give him an extra 100 taels of silver when we settle the bill later."

When the man heard this, he hurriedly thanked him. He had no idea that his father would be rewarded with an extra 100 taels of silver just for showing others the way.

"Okay, enough idle chatter. There are still many people waiting behind us. Let's get started."

"Hey, okay, okay, what should I do?"

Jin An said, "Just reach out your hand."

Upon hearing this, the man quickly rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hands, which were dark and rough from doing too much farm work, with four thick yellow calluses and many burrs on the palms.

Chu Pingsheng didn't say much. He just used the Beiming magic skill and slapped him with one palm.

The man only felt a suction force coming, and the air masses at the seven bright spots marked by the human body pattern in the Dragon Elephant Kung Fu secret book began to loosen, turning into a thin warm current, and entered Master Chai's body through his palms.

He thought it would hurt, but it didn't. He just felt a little bit of emptiness as if his strength had been drained away, like after doing too much farm work.

On the other side, Chu Pingsheng felt a weak but pure energy flowing into the seven chakras formed when he practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra earlier, giving rise to a hot and swollen feeling.

Xuanmen internal skills generally follow the path of inner alchemy, with the Dantian as the core, refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness and so on. However, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Power is different, it is a unique skill of Tantric Buddhism, originated from India.

He was not unfamiliar with Indian martial arts. The Shenzu Sutra was a kind of magical yoga, but this kind of yoga makes the body soft and flexible, while the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra is focused on cultivating strength. Through hard practice, energy is gathered in the seven chakras, namely the root chakra, abdominal chakra, navel chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, forehead chakra and crown chakra. When fighting, the energy is distributed throughout the body through the three channels, making the muscles strong through training, stimulating the potential of the human body and gaining tremendous strength comparable to that of a dragon or elephant.

If you think about it carefully, Buddhism also has the concept of golden body. So it seems that Taoists practice internal breathing from beginning to end, while Buddhists take the path of body training - the Shaolin Temple's Vajra Indestructible Body, which makes one invulnerable to swords and spears after mastering it, the Tantric Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, which is stronger than a dragon and an elephant, and the Indian Divine Foot Sutra, which improves body flexibility.

"call……"

It only took half a cup of tea for Chu Pingsheng to let out a sigh and released his hand that was pressing against the man's palm.

"All right."
