I became a prince in a martial arts world.

Chapter 102 The Great Vajra Temple is a bit frustrating

The magistrate of Daxing Prefecture went to write a memorial to the throne, and Wang Yu and his entourage returned to the Northwest.

Now that they had been cleared of suspicion, there should be no further matter concerning the Great Vajra Temple, so Zongjian and his party returned to the temple.

But as they walked, Zongjian felt something was amiss, and then he heard Honghai clap his hands together, exclaiming, "That's not right!"

Hongyue turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Honghai shook his head and said, "This matter is not over yet."

Hong Yue asked, "What else is left unfinished? Wasn't the mastermind found? It's Zhong Yulei from Dulong Fortress."

Honghai sighed, "That's right, we found it. So what?"

Hong Yue was confused. "Then the emperor will send troops to capture us, right? What does that have to do with us? We've already been cleared of suspicion."

Zong Jian shook his head. "So what? We're just going to let it go about how Dulongbao splashed dirty water on the Great Vajra Temple?"

Honghai frowned. "Judging from the imperial edict, the emperor ordered the Prince of Zhenxi to lead troops into Daxing Prefecture. One reason is to guard against us, and the other is to find out the mastermind behind it and then take back the treasure."

Moreover, the case committed by Dulongbao in Daxing Prefecture not only smeared the Great Vajra Temple, but also showed that they did not take the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion seriously.

Logically, after learning that the mastermind behind the scenes was Dulongbao, the King of Zhenxi should have led his troops south to reclaim the Loulan treasure for the emperor.

But he didn't mean it that way. He left without saying a word, completely unconcerned about the slap Dulongbao had given him. That's why I hadn't thought of it at the time.

Hong Yue was still a little confused. "Didn't Zhao Yu say that the soldiers of the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion were good at fighting in the grasslands and deserts of the Northwest, but not suitable for mountain warfare?"

Honghai complained, "What mountain warfare? Dulongbao is just a small local gang. Even if they wanted to raise a flag of rebellion, they wouldn't amount to anything right now. It's not as serious as he makes it out to be."

Hongyue asked, "Then what does he mean?"

Honghai scoffed, "He just doesn't want to do anything for the emperor."

Hong Yue nodded. "The Zhenxi Prince's Mansion is essentially a state within a state. Isn't it quite normal that he doesn't want to serve the emperor?"

Honghai's words seem to make some sense.

But that doesn't make sense either.

"If he didn't want to serve the emperor, why did he give away the Loulan treasure to him?" Honghai asked again. "Even if he stayed, the emperor couldn't do anything to him, could he?"

The monks looked at each other, puzzled for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Zong Jian waved his hand, "The problem now is not with Zhao Yu, but with us."

Honghai nodded. "That's right. Zhao Yu doesn't want noodles, what do we do?"

No secrets stay hidden forever. Within three days, news of Dulongbao's theft of the Loulan treasure will spread throughout the land. It will be quite interesting to see how Dajingang Temple, another martial arts force that was unintentionally framed by Dulongbao, will react.

Logically speaking, the Great Vajra Temple should have come to the door to demand an explanation and ask Dulongbao to hand over the treasure.

But they weren't fools either. Zhong Yulei risked offending the imperial court, the Prince of Zhenxi's mansion, and the Great Vajra Temple to commit this heinous crime, and it certainly wasn't because he suddenly went mad.

According to the two monks of the Hong generation who went to investigate Dulongbao, they already knew that Zhong Yulei was gathering refugees and forging weapons.

They already knew what Zhong Yulei was planning to do.

Therefore, Zhong Yulei would certainly not hand over the treasure.

But at this time, Dulongbao had not yet raised the banner of rebellion. Dajingang Temple needed to find someone who was distributing porridge and gathering refugees during the winter.

Is it a problem for the underworld forces that are trying to appease the people?

To take it a step further, if Dulongbao were to rise up in rebellion, would the Great Vajra Temple be willing to act as the imperial court's henchmen and take action against the Dulongbao leadership?

It should be noted that the Shuntian Army rose to power in Henan Province and captured prefectures and cities. The Prajna Zen Temple, which is also a Buddhist temple, is located in Henan Province, but it has no intention of helping the court.

The three monks fell silent, their single-mindedness now blocked from both sides.

If the Great Vajra Temple acts as if nothing happened, it's like being slapped in the face by Dulong Fort and not retaliating.

If the Great Vajra Temple were to go to Dulongbao to demand an explanation, it would be tantamount to assisting the imperial court in suppressing the rebels.

After the discussion, Honghai realized the difficulty of the matter. "No wonder Zhao Yu was so shrewd and didn't care about the consequences, nor did he want to get involved in this mess."

Hong Yue also noticed, but there was nothing he could do. "The Zhenxi Prince's Mansion is far away, and Zhao Yu is shameless, but we are right next to Shangshan Mansion, so it seems we can't avoid it."

Zongjian pondered for a moment, then sighed, "Go back and inform the abbot, and ask him to make a decision."

The monks walked further and further away, and from afar came Hong Yue's cursing voice, "Is Zhong Yulei insane? Why did he have to make a move in Daxing Prefecture? Couldn't he have done it a couple of days earlier in Fengming Prefecture, or a couple of days later in Hangu Prefecture?"

The monks at Dajingang Temple were angry, and the people of Dulongbao were also cursing.

"What a load of bull! A treasure worth millions!" A burly man cursed in the main hall of Dulong Fortress. "Third Brother just led his men to inventory all the treasure. Even at the highest market price, it's only worth five million!"

Zhong Yulei, seated at the head of the table, his face grim, tapped the table and looked at a man with a goatee on his left. "Third brother, what's going on?"

The man stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "We've been used as pawns by the Prince of Zhenxi's Mansion. Zhao Yumei took half of it, claiming it was ten million when it was clearly only five million, and used us to settle the accounts."

Another burly man with a resolute face reassured everyone, "Five million is five million, that's already very good. The Shuntian Army traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions, lost hundreds of men, and only brought back five million in treasure."

We obtained five million in treasure without shedding a drop of blood, which will serve as our starting capital. The key point is that no one knows it was us. What more could we ask for?

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Actually, when they first obtained the treasure, they didn't know how much it contained. It was only after the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion released the news that they learned the treasure was worth tens of millions.

Hoping to find a treasure worth millions, they counted it and found only five million, which was indeed disappointing. But thinking that they had easily obtained the same wealth as the Shuntian Army, they felt at peace with themselves.

Zhong Yulei looked at the last man in the council hall, a handsome man with captivating eyes, and asked, "Fifth brother, has there been any news from the Kanli Sect yet?"

Finally, the man gently shook his folding fan, shook his head and smiled, "Not yet, but no news is good news. It's clear that Daxing Prefecture is still running around like headless flies."

Although Dulong Fort was founded by Zhong Yulei, he also formed a sworn brotherhood with four other people while traveling in the martial arts world. The five of them were known as "One Dragon and Four Flood Dragons". They were invited to discuss important matters after Zhong Yulei had some ideas.

Zhong Yulei began to gather refugees and forge weapons, but the consumption was much faster than he had imagined. Soon his savings were depleted, and then they learned about the Loulan treasure.

Although robbing the treasure might offend the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion and the Great Vajra Temple, the temptation of a treasure worth millions was too great, and in addition, the fifth brother had met a disciple of the Kanli Sect in the martial arts world.

Having secured the promise of cooperation from the Kanli faction and with the possibility that his clandestine raids would go undetected, Zhong Yulei finally made up his mind and launched his attack when the Xionglue army passed through Pingxing County, and indeed succeeded.

Although the treasure obtained was not as much as rumored, one shouldn't be too picky about wealth that is obtained for free.

Just then, a servant from Dulong Fort rushed into the hall in a panic, shouting, "Master!"

Zhong Yulei frowned. "Get to the point. Don't panic!"

The servant took a deep breath. "Master, a county official from Shanlu County has come to report that someone with a Daxing Prefecture accent is inquiring about our caravans that have passed through the county town in the past few days."

Zhong Yulei's expression changed, and the five people in the hall stood up at the same time.

Meanwhile, Wang Yu and his group had already staggered back to Longshan Prefecture.

Because he had three hundred elite troops, he only brought a dozen or so guards from the Prince's Palace with him on this trip, and there was no major conflict. Therefore, he returned with a small entourage.

Throughout the journey, Wang Yu was trying to understand the mysteries of the "Taiyin Heyang Method".

At that time, after taking the Yi Jin Duan Gu Dan, he immediately began to circulate his energy following the incantation recited by Hu Aipiao. After absorbing the medicinal power, the tortoise shell immediately exerted its power, helping him to adjust his circulation.

By the time Hu Aipiao finished reciting it three times, the tortoise shell had already improved and adjusted the entire technique to suit Wang Yu's cultivation, integrating the power of Yin and Yang into "Ice and Fire in Two Worlds," while also using it as a cultivation method to harmonize Yin and Yang, water and fire.

Wang Yu unexpectedly discovered that by practicing this method, he could harmonize ice and fire, transforming the frost power of the "Ice and Snow Divine Skill" into the flowing fire power of the "Flowing Fire Reflection," allowing yin and yang ice and fire to flow and maintain balance.

"What a wonderful technique!" Wang Yu exclaimed.

This "Taiyin Heyang Method" is clearly a profound method for harmonizing the flow of Yin and Yang, but the "Kanli School" treats it as a technique for sexual enhancement, which is a complete waste of its potential!

Of course, the retreat of Yin and the advance of Yang, the flow of Yin and Yang, is indeed a natural art of sexual enhancement, and it is suitable for men. It has a unique effect on maintaining virility and becoming stronger in battle.

Moreover, Qianqian made a mistake in one part. Because the method that Hu Aipiao recited was only of the acquired type, Wang Yu was worried that there might be some unknown hidden dangers in this technique. Therefore, after the tortoise shell was adjusted and improved, he did not use the remaining medicinal power to increase his talent or take care of other things. Instead, he focused on developing the subsequent parts of this technique.

After all, this concerns one's sexual well-being for decades to come!

Therefore, what Wang Yu obtained was not just the first three chapters of the "Taiyin Heyang Method", but the first five chapters after adjustments, which included the content of innate dual cultivation, ensuring that there were no hidden dangers.

Hmm, I wonder how it compares to the first five chapters of the original.

Just as Wang Yu was pondering who to test his skills with, the group had already returned to Longshan Prefecture.

"I never expected it to be Dulong Fortress!" Zhao Yingjie greeted them. "Zhong Yulei certainly has a lot of nerve!"

Wang Yu laughed and said, "If he didn't have such courage, how could he dare to gather refugees, forge weapons, and raise a banner of rebellion?"

Wang Yu and his party did not travel very fast, and by the time they returned, the news had already been relayed back to Longshan Prefecture.

Zhao Yingjie cursed and swore, "How dare he touch the convoy of our Zhenxi Prince's Mansion!"

Wang Yu shrugged. "Isn't this great?"

The two couldn't help but smile at each other.
