The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 41: Teaching Secret Skills
"This is what happened. In order to return to Peach Blossom Island, the eldest brother sneaked into the palace to steal antiques and calligraphy and paintings. He was finally discovered by a master among the palace guards, and they both died together."

As Fang Hao spoke, he handed over the several paintings and calligraphy that Qu Lingfeng had stolen to Huang Yaoshi.

Huang Yaoshi unfolded one of the paintings, which was the authentic work of the painting saint Wu Daozi, "The Heavenly King Delivering a Child". The one next to it was "Figures Crossing Water in the Forest and Spring" painted by Li Houzhu of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

There are more than twenty scrolls of such calligraphy and paintings, and when they are unfolded, they are all works of famous artists.

Huang Yaoshi closed the calligraphy and paintings, with a complex expression on his face. After a long pause, he said, "The little girl you brought back, is she Lingfeng's daughter?"

"Disciple has tried her martial arts before, and found out that she has inherited the true teachings of the Peach Blossom Island's Green Wave Palm Technique. Unfortunately, Silly Girl is too stubborn and can't practice it the right way," Fang Hao said.

"From now on, let Chaofeng take good care of Shagu." Huang Yaoshi thought for a moment and said, "Where are your Senior Brother Qu's ashes?"

"Still on the boat." Fang Hao replied.

“Bury Lingfeng’s ashes at the foot of Danzhi Peak. That was his favorite place to go when he was alive.” Huang Yaoshi said in a deep voice, “along with these calligraphy and paintings.”

"So, the master has forgiven Senior Brother?" What Fang Hao meant was that you finally admitted that you were wrong back then?
"Hmph! Just do what I tell you to do!" The East Evil is the East Evil. He actually played rogue on his own apprentice and walked away on the spot.

What could Fang Hao do to his own master? However, since Qu Lingfeng's ashes could be returned to the sect, he would probably die with peace of mind if he knew about it.

However, Huang Yaoshi left just like that, and the stories of his several adventures during this trip have not yet been told.

……

The next day, Fang Hao found Huang Rong busy in the kitchen of Peach Blossom Island.

This little girl has been obsessed with cooking recently. In order to celebrate Fang Hao's return, she cooked herself and said she wanted to make a big meal for Fang Hao.

"Brother Hao, this 'Whose House Listens to the Falling Plum Blossoms with the Jade Flute' is a famous dish that I recreated with great difficulty from an ancient recipe book. Although there are only five kinds of meat, one is lamb rump, one is pig ear, one is calf kidney, and the other is deer leg meat and rabbit meat..."

"But the taste of chewing pigs and sheep together is the same, and chewing deer and cattle together is also the same. If the order of changes is not counted, there are a total of 25 changes, which is the number of 55 plum blossoms. And its shape is like a flute, so it got its name..."

Huang Rong was very excited when she talked about cooking. After she finished talking, Fang Hao interrupted her and said, "Rong'er, stop for a moment."

"Oh!" Huang Rong sat next to Fang Hao obediently and said, "Brother Hao, what can I do for you?"

"Nothing, I just want to test your martial arts." Fang Hao said.

"Ah?" Huang Rong's face fell when she mentioned martial arts.

Fang Hao checked it without saying anything, and then he showed the same ugly expression as Huang Yaoshi.

That's it? With such mediocre skills, I'm afraid even his "Three Heroes of Taihu Lake" can't beat him.

So Fang Hao looked at Huang Rong again, and his eyes became obviously unfriendly.

"Brother Hao, what's wrong?" Huang Rong asked with a frightened face.

Fang Hao was unmoved and asked, "What's wrong with your martial arts?"

It's even worse than when he left a year ago. It's obvious that he has lost touch with the world.

"Well, practicing martial arts is very hard. Look, I have calluses on my hands." Huang Rong waved her white and tender little hands at Fang Hao.

Fang Hao couldn't help but said, "My Peach Blossom Island martial arts are from the inside out. You are just a beginner, so there is no way you will have calluses. I think you are just lazy..."

This time it was Fang Hao's turn to talk. Huang Rong's eyes turned red. She hugged her knees, squatted on the ground, and burst into tears, "Hmph, you only know how to bully me!" This time, it was Fang Hao's turn to be embarrassed.

He thought for a moment, and finally said calmly: "Rong'er, the world outside is far more chaotic than you think. I have been through the towns ruled by the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. The rich and powerful live a life of luxury, while the common people are living in misery. Practicing martial arts can not only strengthen our bodies, but also protect ourselves when necessary..."

What Fang Hao said were all from the bottom of his heart, and Huang Rong was obviously a considerate girl, so she soon stopped crying.

Seeing this, Fang Hao suddenly had an idea and said, "Rong'er, I have an internal skill that can improve your bones and increase your skills. Do you want to learn it?"

Huang Rong raised her head and asked, "What martial arts?"

Obviously, she still listened to what Fang Hao said before.

"This martial art is called 'Yi Jin Jian Gu Zhang'. It comes from an adventure I encountered during this trip."

As he spoke, Fang Hao told Huang Rong about his experience of "accidentally" discovering the Chongyang Inscriptions left by Wang Chongyang, the leader of the Five Greatest Wonders of the World, in the Tomb of the Living Dead on Mount Zhongnan.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Huang Rong did not feel sad about Fang Hao's good luck, but instead felt sad about the love between Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying.

"Daddy is right. The bigwigs in Quanzhen Sect are really not good people. Lady Lin is such a good person, but Wang Chongyang is so unromantic."

Although Huang Rong was only eleven years old, she understood a lot. In her opinion, the love tragedy between Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying was all Wang Chongyang's fault.

After hearing this, Fang Hao shook his head and said, "Wang Chongyang was certainly wrong, but the reason why they couldn't become a couple is related to their personalities. They are both too strong-willed in their bones!"

Whether in ancient times or modern times, if a couple wants to have a good relationship, one of them must be able to take the initiative to bow his head when conflicts arise.

However, Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying are both people who will not give up easily. Lin Chaoying created the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra" to break all the Quanzhen Sect's martial arts.

Wang Chongyang refused to admit defeat and was inspired by the Nine Yin Manual. He left behind the Chongyang Inscription and destroyed all the martial arts of the Ancient Tomb School.

Such a character is destined to lead to a tragedy of love and hatred between the two and an unrequited love.

Huang Rong seemed to understand after hearing this. Fang Hao knew that he had said too much. He touched Huang Rong's head and said, "You won't understand even if I tell you. Let's talk about this 'Yi Jin Jian Gu Chapter'. Do you want to practice it?"

"Practice, of course you have to practice!" Huang Rong said.

She was a very smart person, so how could she not know the good intentions of Huang Yaoshi and Fang Hao? She was just a little rebellious.

So one was willing to teach and the other was willing to learn. Huang Rong's aptitude and talent were rare in the world, and she quickly mastered the "Yi Jin Jing Gong Gu Zhang".

"Brother Hao, this Yi Jin Gong Tang Chapter is very similar to the internal martial arts that father taught me before!" Huang Rong said.

Fang Hao knew that Huang Rong was talking about the Nine Yins Upper Volume Heart Technique that Huang Yaoshi had deduced, so he replied, "Yes, the two are originally from the same source."

After learning the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter, and with Fang Hao's encouragement, Huang Rong's martial arts could only be described as a leap forward.

After Huang Yaoshi learned that Huang Rong was practicing the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter", he was extremely curious about where Fang Hao got the internal skills from the first volume of "Nine Yin Scriptures".

But he was too embarrassed to ask, and the relationship between the master and the disciple became strained again.
