If you don’t want to lie, you can choose not to speak.”

Duan Yu grinned and said, "Uncle, I understand."

In fact, Duan Zhengming knew exactly what Wei Wu said.

The reason why he didn't expose it was that he wanted to maintain a good relationship with Wei Wu.

He and Wei Wu are both thousand-year-old foxes, and they understand each other's intentions tacitly.

One wants to act, the other is willing to accompany.

It’s really exciting to see two movie kings acting on the same stage!

After Duan Siping, no one in the Duan family has mastered the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

For the Duan family, the Six Meridians Divine Sword has more symbolic significance than practical significance.

As for the Kuruo Zen Art, it is a magical skill that is more difficult to practice than the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

Since the establishment of Tianlong Temple, no one has ever succeeded in completing it.

Master Kurong, who is said to be the most talented person since Duan family ancestor Duan Siping, does have hope of achieving success.

But it’s just hope!

Master Kurong is the most senior monk in Tianlong Temple. He has been sitting facing the wall in Shuangshu Courtyard, meditating for decades.

His Zen of withering and flourishing has been cultivated to a small degree of success, reaching the realm of "half withering and half flourishing", and is only half a step away from the great realm of "neither withering nor flourishing, but both withering and flourishing".

Unfortunately, this half step is like a chasm. It remains to be seen whether Master Kuruo could cross it before his death.

Since Master Kuruo has been in seclusion for many years, in Tianlong Temple, unless you are a high-ranking official, no one even knows that there is such a divine figure in the temple.

Moreover, Wei Wu's martial arts are already the best in the world, so it doesn't matter to him whether he has the Six Meridians Divine Sword or the Withering and Flourishing Zen.

Instead of doing this, it is better to do him a favor. If you need his help in the future, he will definitely not stand idly by.

When solving the problem between Duan Zhengming and Dao Baifeng, the solution he proposed was not the best, but it was definitely the most time-saving, labor-saving and worry-free one.

But Wei Wu just disagreed, and even offered to kill Gao Shengtai in exchange for Dao Baifeng and Duan Zhengchun's divorce.

From this point we can see that Wei Wu is a man of affection and righteousness.

Therefore, Duan Zhengming was not worried at all that his emotional investment would be wasted.

Furthermore, investment involves risks, so one should be cautious when entering the industry.

There is no business in the world that is guaranteed to make a profit. The greater the risk, the greater the profit.

Even if Wei Wu turned against him after obtaining the Six Meridians Divine Sword, Duan Zhengming would not suffer any loss.

Duan Zhengming changed into casual clothes and returned to the imperial study. Then he took Wei Wu and Duan Yu out of the study and headed straight for the palace gate.

Duan Zhengming's personal eunuch was already waiting at the palace gate, leading three horses.

Seeing Duan Zhengming coming, the eunuchs accompanying him hurriedly led three horses to meet him.

Duan Zhengming took the reins and gave a horse to Wei Wu and Duan Yu respectively.

Wei Wu and his two companions mounted their horses, and the heavy palace gate slowly opened.

"drive!"

Duan Zhengming lightly squeezed the horse's belly, took the lead and rushed out.

"drive!"

"drive!"

Wei Wu and Duan Yu followed closely behind and also rushed out of the palace.

After the three people left the palace, the palace gate slowly closed.

……

Chapter 120 Outside Tianlong Temple, Tianlong Temple under the Bodhi Tree

The formal name of Tianlong Temple, or the official name, is Chongsheng Temple.

Because there are three pagodas in the temple, it is also called the Three Pagodas Temple.

The people of Dali do not recognize either Chongsheng Temple or Santa Temple, but they have a special affection for Tianlong Temple.

Tianlong Temple is located in the north of Zhongyue Peak of Dian Cang Mountain outside Dali City, facing Erhai Lake in the east and Cang Mountain in the west.

The Dali emperors who abdicated and became monks all became monks in Tianlong Temple.

Therefore, Tianlong Temple was revered as the royal temple of the Dali Kingdom.

Among the many temples in Dali Kingdom, it enjoys the supreme status and glory.

The official Dali description of Tianlong Temple is that the temple grounds are seven miles square, with 890 rooms, 11,400 Buddha statues, 40,590 kilograms of copper, and more than 700,800 workers.

Tianlong Temple is magnificent and solemn, and is not inferior to Buddhist holy places such as Wutai Mountain and Putuo Mountain. It is just located in a remote area and is not well-known.

Duan Zhengming often came to Tianlong Temple to worship Buddha. Many monks in the temple knew his identity. When they saw him coming, they immediately led the way to meet the abbot.

The abbot of Tianlong Temple's Buddhist name is Benyin. If we talk about seniority among the secular family, Duan Zhengming would have to call him uncle.

To be able to be the abbot of a royal temple, one’s background must definitely not be simple.

After a few pleasantries, Duan Zhengming directly stated the purpose of his visit and explained the cause and effect of the matter in detail.

During this period, the great Wei Wu was praised as rare in the sky and hard to find on earth.

In particular, he praised Wei Wu's martial arts skills to the extreme, almost saying that Wei Wu was the best in the world.

Ben Yin looked at Wei Wu, then at Duan Yu, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I will take you to Muni Hall to meet Elder Ku Rong."

Duan Zhengming said with guilt: "It is a sin to disturb Elder Ku Rong's meditation!"

"That's wrong!"

Ben Yin shook his head and said, "This matter concerns the crown prince of Dali at the smallest level, and the fate of Dali at the largest level. It would be a sin if you don't come!"

Duan Zhengming clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "What the abbot said is very true."

Ben Yin stood up and said softly, "Follow me."

After saying that, he walked out of the Zen room, passed through the Ruihe Gate, went through the corridors and buildings, passed by the magnificent and majestic buildings, and finally came to a long corridor.

Continue west along the corridor until you reach the end, where you will come to several wooden houses.

These wooden houses, whether roofs, walls or doors, are all built with pine wood as thick as a calf.

The most peculiar thing is that the bark of these pine trees has never been stripped.

In the middle of the magnificent palace, the wooden house is like a peerless beauty without any makeup, isolated from the world, exuding a sense of returning to nature.

Ben Yin walked to the wooden door, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully: "Amitabha, Ben Yin dare not make a decision rashly on one matter, please ask the three brothers and uncle to make the decision."

"Enter."

A dreamlike voice sounded, as if coming from the wooden house, and as if floating from the distant horizon.

"Wait here for a moment."

Ben Yin turned around and told Duan Zheng something, then he stretched out his hand and slowly pushed the door open, walked into the wooden house, and closed the door again.

After about a cup of tea, the tightly closed door slowly opened. Ben Yin stood at the door and waved to Duan Zhengming and the other two, indicating that they should come in.

Duan Zhengming, Wei Wu and Duan Yu walked into the wooden house one after another.

Besides Benyin, there were four other monks in the wooden house.

They lined up in order from east to west.

One monk faces the wall, three monks face outside.

The monk on the easternmost side sits facing the wall, and his face cannot be seen clearly, which gives people a very contradictory feeling.

It seems innocent, yet it seems to have experienced a lot.

There were three monks outside. Two of them had haggard faces, and one was tall and strong. He looked more like a butcher than a monk.

Wei Wu had read the novel and watched several versions of the TV series, so he naturally knew the identities of these four monks.

From east to west, they are Master Kurong, Benguan, Benxiang, and Bencan.

Among them, Benguan and Benxiang are Benyin’s senior brothers, while Bencan is Benyin’s junior brother.

Duan Zhengming put his hands together and said respectfully, "Greetings to Elder Kurong, Master Benguan, Master Benxiang, and Master Bencan."

Benguan said softly, "No need to be polite."

Duan Zhengming asked softly, "I wonder what the final result of the discussion among the masters was?"

Ben Guan said in a deep voice: "Although the Six Meridians Divine Sword and the Withered and Flourishing Zen are precious, they are inanimate objects after all. They are far less important than life, not to mention that this concerns the life of the Crown Prince of Dali!"

Duan Zhengming was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Yu'er, kneel down quickly and thank the clan elder for saving your life."

"Thank you, elder clan leader!"

Duan Yu immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the four monks.

Benguan's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he said softly, "Get up."

"Yes."

Duan Yu stood up and stood respectfully aside.

Wei Wu bowed and said, "Thank you, Masters, for your help."

Ben Guan looked at Wei Wu and said calmly, "Donor Wei wants the Six Meridians Divine Sword and the Withered and Flourishing Zen Technique, but he needs to agree to our two conditions."

Wei Wu smiled and said, "Master, please speak."

Ben Guan said in a deep voice: "First, Donor Wei needs to swear an oath not to pass on the Six Meridians Divine Sword and the Withered and Flourishing Zen to others."

"no problem."

Wei Wu agreed very readily, then raised his index and middle fingers and swore to the sky.

"I, Wei Wu, swear to heaven that if I ever obtain the Six Meridians Divine Sword or the Withered and Flourishing Zen Technique, I will never pass it on to anyone else. Anyone who breaks this oath will forever fall into the Avici Hell and never be able to be reborn!"

After taking the oath, Wei Wu looked at Ben Guan and asked, "Master, what is the second condition?"

Ben Guan was just about to speak when Master Kurong, who had been sitting face to face with Wei Wu like a statue, suddenly raised his right hand and shot out an extremely sharp finger force towards Wei Wu.

This finger is none other than the Duan family's unique skill "One Yang Finger"!

If it were someone else, even Duan Zhengming, Ben Guan, Ben Yin, Ben Xiang and Ben Can, the five top masters of Dali Kingdom, would not have time to react and could only take the attack.

Because Master Kuruo's attack came without any warning and was completely beyond everyone's expectations, no one would have thought that he would suddenly attack.

This is a true master. Not only does he have profound skills, but he also knows how to grasp the timing of his attack just right.

It was completely unexpected and caught the enemy off guard.

But who is Wei Wu?

Not only does he possess profound internal strength of more than a hundred years, but the Xiaoyao Jue also integrates several magical skills such as Xiao Wuxiang Gong, Beiming Shengong, Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, etc. Except for a slight lack of combat experience, he is not much inferior even to the Sweeping Monk.

Just because others can't cope with it doesn't mean he can't cope with it either.

Wei Wu was not only able to deal with this finger, but also had many other methods.

His thoughts quickly turned, and Wei Wu chose the most domineering way to deal with it.

Be tough!

He moved his fingers as fast as lightning, and his right index finger suddenly pointed out.

This finger may seem ordinary, but it is actually full of mysteries.

It includes the two supreme finger techniques: the Sanhe Finger and the Yiyang Finger.

With a pointing of his finger, not only did he disperse the extremely sharp energy, but he also shot a finger force towards Zen Master Ku Rong.

Come and don't come, it's indecent!

If you give me a blow to show your strength, I will give you a blow to show your strength.

Zen Master Kurong flew into the air along with his cushion. After avoiding the finger force, he fell down like a fallen leaf.

The place where he fell was exactly the same as the place where he was meditating just now.
