Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 52: The Law of All Things, Circulating the Six Voids

half a month later.

During this period, the leader of the four evil men, known as the world's number one evildoer and nicknamed "full of evil", provoked the Duan family of Dali, abducted the prince of Zhennan and took him to Wanjie Valley, causing quite a stir in the martial arts world.

Fortunately, after committing all kinds of evil, Sha Yu got away, and the Prince of Zhennan, who was born in the Duan family of Dali but had no martial arts skills at all, was safe and sound.

One day, a young monk walked into the densely populated city of Dali.

He looked around and saw that the streets were paved with bluestone and the market was prosperous. At the end of a straight stone road stood countless magnificent palaces, which was the Dali Imperial Palace.

He wandered aimlessly around the city and when he found an inn to have a vegetarian meal, he heard people around him talking about how the Tibetan state teacher Mahalin Vajra King had sent a visiting card to Tianlong Temple and that the appointed day had arrived.

Not long after.

A young monk in white clothes as white as snow walked out of Dali City and headed towards the north of the peak of Dian Cang Mountain.

The official name of Tianlong Temple is Chongsheng Temple, but it is called Tianlong Temple because the people of Dali habitually call it that.

The ancestors of the Duan family who were emperors often abdicated and became monks in Tianlong Temple. Therefore, this temple is also the family temple of the Dali royal family and the most honorable among the temples in the Dali Kingdom.

This temple, with its back against Cangshan Mountain and facing Ershui River, has three pagodas, seven floors, nine halls and hundreds of buildings. It is large in scale and beautifully constructed. Among most Buddhist sites in the Central Plains, few can compare with it.

At this moment, a Zen room called Muni Hall in the temple is extremely lively.

Five withered, burly, and old monks confronted a middle-aged foreign monk who was less than fifty years old and wearing a yellow monk robe.

"I am a humble monk, and I have not yet comprehended the truths of love, hate, life, and death. I only ask for the Six Meridians Divine Sword from your temple, which I will burn for my old friend Murong in Gusu, to keep the promise we made to each other."

"These three volumes of martial arts secrets were all written by Mr. Murong. They contain the Shaolin Temple's three unique skills: the Flower Picking Finger, the Dora Leaf Finger, and the Formless Robbery Finger."

"As the saying goes, a stone from another mountain can polish jade. If your temple learns this, it will surely be of great benefit to your practice of One Yang Finger."

"I now wish to exchange these three rare volumes with your temple for the Six Meridians Divine Sword Sutra. I beg all the masters to grant my approval."

The foreign monk, Jiumozhi, spoke in a friendly, humble and polite manner.

Apart from the oldest monk whose face looked half dry and half green, the others, such as the abbot of Tianlong Temple Benyin, and his fellow apprentices Benguan, Benxiang and Bencan, had interested but hesitant looks in their eyes, as if they didn't know whether to change or not.

"Three doors for one, this deal, the monk doesn't know why, but he feels that Ming Wang is losing out."

A young monk appeared silently in the meditation room, with a faint smile on his face, looking at Jiumozhi:
"Although Master Benyin is the abbot of Tianlong Temple, Master Kurong is the one who truly makes the decisions. These few can't even master the One Finger Zenith. Do you think Master Kurong would trade with Ming Wang?"

"Young Master shouldn't be a monk from Tianlong Temple, right?"

The moment Jiumozhi saw the young monk, his heart trembled, and he felt that some danger was approaching him.

Zhuang Bu Ran's smile grew wider:
"Monks and Ming Wang have a special connection. The temple where your unique skills originated is where I became a monk."

Suddenly, there was silence in the Zen room. Ben Yin and others couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment on their faces. Although they had not completed the transaction of exchanging martial arts, they couldn't help feeling guilty.

Jiumozhi's expression remained normal, and he maintained a friendly and humble demeanor:
"Young Master, at such a young age, you're able to leave the temple and go down the mountain. You must be a great monk of your generation. I remember when I was in my teens, I was still a young novice monk doing odd jobs in the temple."

"Ming Wang, the Six Meridians Divine Sword is, after all, nothing more than a martial art that uses the finger force of the One Yang Finger to transform into sword energy, using this tangible and invisible sword energy to fight the enemy. It does look somewhat magical, but it can't really be called a supreme martial art."

Zhuang Bu Ran said in a somewhat casual tone:

"The monk recently created a new martial art. The more I hear about the fame of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, the more I think it's just so-so. It's truly a sin."

The burly Ben Can heard this and said coldly:
"May I ask the name of the Shaolin monk? Your sect's various unique skills are profound and unfathomable, but my sect's unique skills are not to be insulted lightly." Jiumozhi also said:
"Young Master, aren't you being a little too arrogant? The Six Meridians Divine Sword is purely about using internal energy to generate invisible sword energy. If that were all, this skill wouldn't be considered particularly miraculous or advanced. But when one person uses internal energy to simultaneously mobilize the sword energy of the six meridians, the sword strikes with lightning speed and unparalleled swiftness. Furthermore, the swords can be used interchangeably, one going back and forth endlessly. How can human power stop it?"

"My Buddhist name is Xu Zhu." The young monk stood with his hands behind his back.

"Monks don't tell lies. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

"Then I will be sorry for the offence."

I was also unwilling to use all my strength, which would hurt the Shaolin disciples and damage the harmony between the two sects. So I sat down where I was, mobilized my internal strength, extended my left little finger, and a stream of air shot out from the Shaochong acupoint.

Suddenly, a stream of energy emerged from Zhuang Bu Ran's body, interweaving into a net, like a close-fitting armor, flowing freely from his face to his feet.

The invisible sword energy hit the young monk's chest, like a drop of water flowing into the sea, without causing any ripples.

"There are eight natural forces in the universe: heaven, earth, mountain, marsh, wind, thunder, water, and fire. Once you master my skills, you will be able to use these eight forces to control all things in the universe. This can be said to be the law of controlling all things, circulating through the six voids."

Zhuang Bu Ran smiled and said:

"Therefore, this monk's martial arts is called 'Circulating Six Voids Kung Fu', and what he is demonstrating now is the Wuxiang Water Armor of Circulating Water Power, which is invulnerable to swords, spears, halberds, and bows."

This kind of martial arts that seemed like magic or sorcery frightened most people so much that their pupils shrank slightly. Only I didn't believe it. I thought that if I sat still, it would be difficult for me to unleash the power of the "Six Meridians Divine Sword".

He immediately stood up, took three steps diagonally to the right, and used the internal force of his left little finger to attack diagonally from right to left.

The young monk still stood with his hands behind his back, but he saw that Benchan was moving back and forth with subtle changes, attacking him repeatedly all over his body. However, he found that even if he used sword energy to hit the major vital points, he still couldn't break the water armor. In the end, he had no choice but to stop and stand still.

"This time, I attacked because I'm not very skilled. I've only mastered one of the Six Meridians Divine Swords. It's not the most precious weapon in my temple, and it's not as good as the martial arts you've created."

"It doesn't matter if you cheat the monk, but don't cheat yourself." Zhuang Bu Ran said indifferently:
"I came to Tianlong Temple just to see if the Six Meridians Divine Sword lives up to its name. Now that I've seen it, it's exactly as I expected."

He paused, then shook his head helplessly:

"It's just ordinary martial arts."

"you"

Not only did Benchan's face become three times colder, but just when Benguan and Benxiang were about to attack, they saw the young monk extend his left little finger and actually use the Shaoze Sword from the "Six Meridians Divine Sword".

The sword energy hit the ground, and a bottomless hole suddenly appeared in the floor.

Then he extended his right thumb and released Shaoshang sword energy. His right index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger were extended one after another, and Shangyang sword energy, Zhongchong sword energy, Guanchong sword energy, and Shaochong sword energy were displayed in front of everyone one by one.

After the demonstration, the floor around the young monk became bumpy.

"How can a martial art that can be learned at a glance be considered miraculous, brilliant, or supreme?"

"This 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' requires the practice of 'One Yang Finger' first. How can you perform it?" Abbot Ben Yin said in great shock:
"Also, you only watched Shaoze Sword Qi along the way, how did you learn all the Six Meridians Sword Qi?"

"Haha, a monk can tell the coming of autumn by observing a single leaf. Is that hard to understand?"

Zhuang Bu Ran chuckled and turned his gaze towards Jiumozhi, with a playful look on his face:

"No matter what, I am also a Shaolin disciple. You are using my martial arts to exchange for someone else's. Don't you deserve an explanation?"
