"Never."
However, Gu Hanyuan, who knew that the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" was actually a love letter written by Lin Chaoying to Wang Chongyang, naturally understood the reason.
"Miss Long, could you please tell me how to cultivate the 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra'? I don't need the specific details, just the general requirements will suffice."
After hesitating for a moment, Xiaolongnu agreed.
After Xiaolongnu finished explaining some of the cultivation methods of the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra," Gu Hanyuan smiled and explained to the two of them:
"I have some leads."
Only after both of them looked at Gu Hanyuan did they begin to explain.
"First, the 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra' requires two people to practice together, assisting each other. There is absolutely no possibility of success if one person practices it alone." (570)
After the two nodded, Gu Hanyuan continued:
“If the two of you practice together, you will definitely think that it is two women practicing together. However, in the seventh chapter of the ‘Jade Maiden Heart Sutra’, each practice corresponds to the Jade Maiden Sword Technique. The Jade Maiden Sword Technique can be seen from the names of the moves. It is an extremely romantic sword technique, which will also affect the practice of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.”
Then Gu Hanyuan dropped a bombshell:
"As far as I know, Wang Chongyang resisted the Jin dynasty several times, but ultimately failed and was trapped in the Tomb of the Living Dead. It wasn't until a woman in red cursed loudly at the entrance of the Tomb of the Living Dead for seven days and seven nights that Wang Chongyang finally couldn't bear the anger and broke out of the Tomb of the Living Dead."
"This woman in red is none other than Lin Chaoying, the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect and Wang Chongyang's lifelong rival, with whom he often clashed. But in reality, Lin Chaoying had long harbored feelings for Wang Chongyang, but due to her pride and arrogance, she was unwilling to reveal her true feelings. Her cursing in front of the Tomb of the Living Dead was a provocation tactic to provoke Wang Chongyang."
"Afterwards, the two turned from enemies to friends and traveled the world together. Lin Chaoying hinted several times that she wanted to marry Wang Chongyang. But Wang Chongyang was proud and arrogant, and he was unwilling to express his feelings first. Their love turned to hate, and they agreed to a duel on Zhongnan Mountain. They fought for thousands of moves, and Wang Chongyang, feeling guilty, did not use his full strength, so the two could not be determined. Lin Chaoying was very angry and made a bet with Wang Chongyang, which was to see how many words she could carve on a stone. If she could beat Wang Chongyang, she would force him to choose between becoming a Taoist priest or staying with her in the Ancient Tomb forever. But even so, Lin Chaoying could not get her way. Wang Chongyang chose to give her the Ancient Tomb he had built, and he built a Quanzhen Taoist temple not far from the Ancient Tomb and became a Taoist priest. It turned out that Lin Chaoying had applied too much stone powder, which caused her finger strength to penetrate the stone too deeply, far surpassing Wang Chongyang's, and hurting his pride."
Both women were stunned by this secret from back then. They never expected that there was such a grudge and love affair between their ancestor and Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect.
"Looking at the 'Jade Maiden Swordplay,' it is ostensibly meant to counter the 'Quanzhen Swordplay,' but in reality, they can complement each other. Furthermore, the names of the moves reveal that Lin Chaoying created it to practice with Wang Chongyang. In other words, the 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra' is a technique to be practiced with one's lover. If it weren't for the lover, not to mention whether the power would be affected, it would definitely not conform to the core essence of the 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.'"
“Miss Long, Fairy Li, your master certainly didn’t find a man to practice the ‘Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.’ Then isn’t it strange that Lin Chaoying, who practiced the divine skill created by Wang Chongyang, was easily and seriously injured, and ultimately died from her injuries? There must have been a problem during the practice of the ‘Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.’ In other words, practicing the ‘Jade Maiden Heart Sutra’ requires practicing with your lover, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.”
Upon hearing this, Li Mochou looked at Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo with a strange expression.
"So, my junior sister had already found a partner to practice with."
Li Mochou felt a sense of satisfaction for a moment, but after glancing at Gu Hanyuan, she suddenly wanted to snatch the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" even more.
"I do not have."
Xiaolongnu felt somewhat aggrieved after hearing Li Mochou's words. She had never thought of cultivating Yang Guo into her lover. Although she did develop some affection for Yang Guo during their time together, it was mostly based on Granny Sun's dying wish to take care of him.
Little Dragon Girl even had a desire to argue with someone that she had never experienced before.
After hearing Li Mochou's words, Yang Guo looked at Xiaolongnu with a feeling he had never had before. He suddenly realized how beautiful Xiaolongnu was, and wondered if she could become his lover...
Yang Guo's heart was pounding when he suddenly heard Xiaolongnu's resolute denial, and his heart sank, leaving him looking dejected.
Xiaolongnu noticed Yang Guo's emotional change, and her thoughts became inexplicable.
"Perhaps it's time to let the child leave the ancient tomb."
Gu Hanyuan ignored the open and covert struggle between the two women and let the bullets fly for a while longer.
"When practicing the 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra,' one's entire body is enveloped in heat. One must choose a spacious, secluded place, with all clothing loose, to practice so that the heat dissipates immediately without any obstruction. Otherwise, it will accumulate within the body, causing anything from serious illness to death. Later in the practice, two people must use their internal energy to guide and protect it; only by combining their strength can they overcome the dangers together. In contrast, the Ancient Tomb Sect's basic mental cultivation method is one that purifies the mind and reduces desires; otherwise, a person like the Dragon Maiden could not have been created. After leaving the Ancient Tomb, Fairy Li's mental cultivation method must have stagnated, and she must have already abandoned the Ancient Tomb's basic mental cultivation method, right?"
Li Mochou had indeed long ago modified the 'Five Poisons Secret Technique'.
After Li Mochou nodded, Gu Hanyuan continued:
“During the practice, one’s whole body would not be steaming with heat for no reason. In addition, there is the Ancient Tomb Heart Sutra, which makes people calm and have few desires. It is easy to deduce that the practice of ‘Jade Maiden Heart Sutra’ may arouse desires, but one must not let desires affect the practice.”
"Fairy Li has already switched to cultivation, and Fairy Li's body... in short, she definitely cannot cultivate the 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.' I'm afraid your master is worried that you might cause an accident by forcing yourself to practice the 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra,' which is why he strictly forbade Miss Long from teaching it to you."
When Li Mochou heard Gu Hanyuan mention her body, she trembled. It turned out that her constitution was very special. As long as a man touched her body, her whole body would become weak uncontrollably. This was truly a case of being born with a seductive nature.
In the story of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," Li Mochou was suddenly embraced by the young Yang Guo, and her body went limp, leaving her powerless to resist. If Xiaolongnü hadn't been inexperienced at the time, Li Mochou would have been subdued by the master and disciple duo. Fortunately, Yang Guo was still young and not yet a real man, and Li Mochou quickly snapped out of her daze and hurriedly pushed him away.
Chapter 64: Li Mochou's Collapse
Another woman with a similar constitution to Li Mochou was Pan Jinlian. According to a certain Mei's account, Pan Jinlian's entire body would go limp the moment a man touched her.
However, Pan Jinlian's personality was completely different from Li Mochou's; one was promiscuous and unrestrained, while the other was dignified and self-respecting. Li Mochou had always been indifferent to men, and even after falling in love with Lu Zhanyuan, she tried her best to maintain physical distance, largely because of her special constitution.
Li Mochou was already worried that Gu Hanyuan would discover her body's sensitivity after several physical contacts with her, and now that he had pointed it out, she was utterly ashamed and indignant.
Fortunately, she was drawn to the second half of Gu Hanyuan's sentence. She realized that her master was not favoring Xiaolongnu over passing on the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" because he was worried about her, and her mood improved a lot.
“Miss Long, if I’m not mistaken, your master didn’t require the ‘Jade Maiden Heart Sutra’ to be kept secret, did he?”
After receiving Xiaolongnu's affirmation, Gu Hanyuan continued.
"Therefore, the cultivation of the 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra' requires maintaining a state of purity and detachment from desires and practicing with a lover. Fairy Li does not meet the requirements, which is why your master specifically instructed you not to pass on the 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra' to Fairy Li."
After listening, Xiaolongnu felt that what Gu Hanyuan said made a lot of sense, especially the rules of the Ancient Tomb: "One must swear to never leave the tomb for the rest of one's life. If any man who is unaware of these rules is willing to die for one, then he may break his oath and descend the mountain."
Thinking of this, Xiaolongnu subconsciously glanced at Gu Hanyuan.
"I once heard Yang Guo mention that there is a burial chamber in the Ancient Tomb where people from the Ancient Tomb are buried after they die. If I'm not mistaken, there should still be a coffin for Fairy Li in the Ancient Tomb, and your master should have instructed Miss Long that if Fairy Li were to die one day, she should be buried back in the Ancient Tomb, right?"
When Li Mochou saw Xiaolongnu nod, she felt her eyes well up with tears.
As the saying goes, fallen leaves return to their roots. What people fear most is dying without a place of their own. If she could, Li Mochou would never have wanted to die far from home.
"You two were both taken back to the Ancient Tomb by your master when you were young, and even your names were given to you by your master. Mochou, Mochou, do not be sad. Fairy Li, if you say that your master did not have true feelings for you, I absolutely do not believe it."
Gu Hanyuan's last words shattered Li Mochou's hard shell, and she collapsed to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably in front of the ancient tomb.
"Master! Master!"
Li Mochou had two major regrets in her life: one was Lu Zhanyuan, and the other was feeling that her master favored his junior sister.
Today, Gu Hanyuan analyzed from scattered information and concluded that her master had never actually ignored her.
How could Li Mochou, who was raised by her master since childhood, not have feelings for him? However, she got stuck in a rut and didn't even get to see her master one last time before he died.
At that moment, I felt utterly grief-stricken.
The most regrettable and sorrowful thing in life is wanting to care for one's parents but finding them gone. This is exactly the feeling Li Mochou had at this moment.
This was the first time Hong Lingbo had seen Li Mochou show such a vulnerable side. She recalled how Li Mochou had saved her life when her enemies were chasing her, and how she had become her disciple.
I always thought she was ruthless and incapable of feeling or weakness, and I was often dissatisfied with her behavior.
Although Hong Lingbo, having been influenced by Li Mochou for a long time, sometimes became ruthless in her actions, she was not inherently bad and was full of compassion and love.
Seeing Li Mochou crying so sadly, he couldn't help but kneel down beside her and gently pat her back to prevent her from crying herself to death.
Little Dragon Girl felt a pang of pity and turned her head away.
Although Li Mochou often fought with her, the fact that she always addressed her as "senior sister" shows that she still had feelings for Li Mochou.
Even when she was young, besides Granny Sun, the person who took care of her the most was Li Mochou.
At this moment, the truth between the master and his disciples is revealed, as if they have returned to the time when the three of them lived in the ancient tomb.
Yang Guo saw that Gu Hanyuan had managed to make the notoriously fierce Li Mochou cry with just a few words.
Although he sometimes felt a little annoyed by Gu Hanyuan's closeness with Xiaolongnu, at this moment he only felt admiration.
Gu Hanyuan did not offer any words of comfort at this moment, because this was an outlet that Li Mochou needed to vent. If she were interrupted, it would only cause her more distress and heartache.
"Junior sister! Let me go back to the Ancient Tomb. I won't fight for the sect leader position anymore, and I don't want the 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra' either. Let me see Master again."
Li Mochou pleaded with Xiaolongnu with a sob in her voice.
Some people might think that Li Mochou's personality makes it impossible for her to do such a thing.
But it's the same principle as "Don't advise others to be good if you haven't experienced their suffering yourself." How can you judge others without firsthand experience?
After all, Li Mochou was once innocent and kind; she just entrusted herself to the wrong person at the most beautiful age.
After hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, Xiaolongnu naturally did not object to Li Mochou's request to return to the Ancient Tomb.
After hesitating for a moment, she still didn't let Gu Hanyuan enter the ancient tomb, but instead took Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo into the tomb.
Yang Guo stayed outside the ancient tomb to chat with Gu Hanyuan.
At that moment, a soft sigh came from the shadows, which even Gu Hanyuan failed to notice.
"Brother Gu, tell me more about things in the martial arts world."
Yang Guo was not a dull person. After Xiaolongnu and the others brought the somber atmosphere into the Ancient Tomb, they became very talkative and started chatting with Gu Hanyuan.
"Brother Yang, I've heard you mention that Master Guo and your father were sworn brothers. But you wouldn't tell you about your father's true identity, right?"
..... ....... 0
Gu Hanyuan started trying to trick Yang Guo into leaving the Ancient Tomb.
"Well, Uncle Guo has always refused to tell me who my father is."
Yang Guo's eyes were somewhat downcast. Although he respected Guo Jing very much, he still felt uneasy about this matter.
"Guo Daxia is a hero admired by everyone. He has been famous for nearly 20 years and guarded Xiangyang for many years. He can be said to be the most important pillar of the Song Dynasty since Yue Fei."
This was obviously pure flattery. Guo Jing didn't actually hold any official position; he was just assisting in the defense of Xiangyang.
"I didn't know Uncle Guo was so amazing."
Yang Guo ultimately admired Guo Jing.
"So the person who swore brotherhood with Master Guo must not be an ordinary person. And twenty years ago, the only influential person who was wary of his name and also had the surname Yang was Yang Zaixing of the Yang family generals. He was beheaded along with Yue Fei because Yue Fei was falsely accused of treason. Brother Yang, your age certainly doesn't match, but you may have a deep kinship with Yang Zaixing. So, Master Guo was unwilling to reveal the truth to you, partly to protect you and partly to avoid being framed by treacherous officials in the court."
(The true history of Yang Zaixing: He encountered the Jin army at Xiaoshang Bridge. Yang Zaixing fought a great battle with the Jin army, killing more than 2,000 Jin soldiers, as well as Jin generals Wanhu Sababojin and 100 Qianhu. However, he was ultimately outnumbered and died from numerous arrow wounds.)
