The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

(Note: This book is a wuxia (martial arts) novel and does not contain fantasy content. Some content references Taoist or Buddhist classics, all of which can be verified.)

Let me say it again, it's not fantasy! And there won't be any fantasy elements!

The former residence of Wang Chongyang contains a great many books.

But there are patterns to follow.

First is Wang Chongyang's "Fifteen Treatises on the Establishment of the Teachings by Chongyang," which is also the focus of the Quanzhen School's current practice.

Then there are some essential martial arts techniques of the Quanzhen School.

Then came what Master Yideng said.

Taoist internal alchemy.

The Tao Te Ching, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic...

These are the earliest rudimentary texts on internal alchemy.

There are also the *Huangting Neijing Jing* and *Huangting Waijing Jing* from the Wei and Jin dynasties.

The Huangting Jing, in particular, was clearly the most commonly used text in Taoist internal alchemy practice during the Tang and Song dynasties.

The rest are various classic texts.

Although there were many books, Wang Chongyang organized and categorized them in a well-ordered manner.

This also shows that Master Yideng did not deceive Wang Jiuling.

The Innate Skill is derived from Taoist internal alchemy and is not a simple martial art. It must be practiced with the aid of knowledge of internal alchemy.

But Wang Chongyang never taught Wang Jiuling any of these things.

The memory of Wang Chongyang's self-inflicted palm strike in the forest filled Wang Jiuling with conflicting emotions and worry.

These books were normal; what was truly abnormal was what Wang Jiuling found in the hidden compartment at the very bottom of Wang Chongyang's desk.

The Biography of Rachungpa, The Six Dharmas of Naropa, and The Kalachakra Tantra.

When Master Yideng saw these, his expression was first one of shock, and then he frowned deeply.

"Amitabha! So that's how it is... I see!"

"Master! This isn't a Taoist text; it seems more like a Buddhist one, but... it's somewhat incongruous?"

Wang Jiuling was very puzzled.

He spent several months at Shaolin Temple, including three days in the Sutra Repository, where he naturally came into contact with many Buddhist scriptures.

These three books in front of me, however, seem to be about Buddhism but are not quite Buddhist; they are quite unconventional.

Master Yideng shook his head. "No! These are not the Buddhist scriptures of the Central Plains that you are familiar with!"

Master Yideng explained to Wang Jiuling.

"The Shaolin Buddhism of the Central Plains is a prominent school of Han Chinese Buddhism!"

He pointed to the three scriptures in front of him, his expression serious. "These three are from Tibetan Tantric Buddhism!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiuling suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Isn't that India? Or "Tianzhu"?

He immediately asked Master Yideng, "Master! Isn't Tibetan Tantric Buddhism just Mahayana Buddhism from India? It is indeed different from the Buddhism of Central China!"

Master Yideng nodded, admiring Wang Jiuling's extensive knowledge.

"Amitabha! That is indeed the case. Since you already know, I need not explain further."

Master Yideng opened the "Biography of Rechungpa" and found a page for Wang Jiuling to see.

Besides the scriptures, there were various circles drawn by Wang Chongyang himself, as well as traces of corrections and alterations.

Master Yideng explained this page of scripture to Wang Jiuling:

"This page tells a story."

"It is said that after Rechungpa learned Buddhism in India, he became arrogant and disrespectful to his teacher."

Milarepa used the Phowa method to transfer his consciousness to the corpse of a pigeon, and the pigeon came back to life!

Finally, Milarepa's consciousness returned, and the pigeon remained a corpse; it had not truly come back to life.

Milarepa's true intention was to admonish his disciples: physical practice is merely a facade; spiritual practice is the true path!

Master Yideng picked up the scripture and was somewhat moved.

"This 'Biography of Rechungpa' is nothing more than a mythological story in Tibetan Buddhism, just like folk myths and legends. It is a fabricated and illusory thing."

"The fundamental purpose is to awaken people with the principles contained within, not to teach them the skills!"

Wang Jiuling's doubts gradually dissipated.

"Could it be that the patriarch was attempting to cultivate this method of transferring consciousness?"

Master Yideng shook his head, pointing to the scriptures.

"Look, benefactor, the True Man Chongyang has repeatedly annotated between the lines of the scripture that this method is a heretical path and should not be learned."

"Look here, Master Chongyang noted that one can only comprehend the principles within the scriptures."

Master Yideng then picked up "Fifteen Treatises on the Establishment of Teachings by Chongyang" and pointed out one of the passages to Wang Jiuling.

Those who today desire immortality and to renounce the mortal world are utterly foolish and ignorant of reason.

"Master Chongyang understood long ago that those who insist on immortality are ultimately foolish, and he himself criticized this so-called method of resurrection."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiuling's face also showed doubt.

"If that's the case, why did the patriarch hide these three Tibetan Tantric scriptures in a secret compartment?"

"And judging from the corner of these pages, he clearly reads them frequently!"

Wang Jiuling recalled Wang Chongyang's actions in the forest.

He stood head to head with him, their true energy flowing together, and he seemed to mumble incoherently, "Those who desire to live forever and leave the mortal world are extremely foolish and do not understand reason."

All signs indicate that Wang Chongyang was indeed practicing this method of resurrection.

At that time, Wang Chongyang was facing him head to head, with their Baihui acupoints aligned.

Wang Chongyang later suddenly went mad, shouting, "If you need to use dead people, you must die!"

If Wang Chongyang is compared to Milarepa, then isn't Wang Jiuling himself just that dove?

This perfectly matches the story in "The Legend of Rechungpa".

Thinking of this, Wang Jiuling felt a chill run down his spine. Wang Chongyang was following him because of this?

How could this be? This is just a story used to educate people; it's completely fabricated.

The patriarch himself clearly knew this, and he still wrote annotations to admonish people because of it.

But how could he possibly learn from him? This is quite contradictory.

Is this related to his mental state?

Wang Jiuling recalled the words Wang Chongyang had been repeating in the forest.

He knew it was fake, but at the same time, he "didn't believe it was fake."

"Perhaps he had no choice in the matter!"

Master Yideng looked at the horizon and was also speculating.

Wang Jiuling felt that the truth might be very close to him, but it just needed some opportunity.

"Master, I need to find a way to see the Patriarch again!"

Wang Jiuling said.

Master Yideng was somewhat worried. "With his skill, in this vast Zhongnan Mountain, if he wanted to hide, he wouldn't be found!"

Wang Jiuling shook his head.

"For the sake of Quanzhen, for the sake of our patriarch, and even for my own sake, I must see him!"

"Starting tomorrow, I will wait on the western peak for the patriarch to awaken."

"The master is right. Innate Skill is not just about martial arts; it's more about responsibility!"

Wang Jiuling's gaze was extremely firm, and Master Yideng nodded with a smile.

"Go ahead! This old monk will help you!"

Starting the next day, Wang Jiuling moved his living quarters to the western peak.

He also took the internal alchemy texts he found and studied them.

He used to think that the Innate Skill was just like the Nine Yang Divine Skill, simply a martial art.

Only now do I realize that the Innate Skill is truly all-encompassing and incredibly complex.

Seven days passed, and Wang Chongyang did not reappear, as if he were not in Zhongnan Mountain at all.

However, the atmosphere on the western mountain peak seemed to be getting increasingly heavy.

That's an even bigger mystery, the scent of something about to be revealed...

At this time, the day that Ma Yu and Qiu Chuji had originally planned to descend the mountain had arrived.

Wang Jiuling still had to deal with the Mongol conspiracy and the traitor within the Quanzhen School first.
