Chapter 6: Planning the Yi Jin Jing.
With a decent appearance, it is just that the cultivation started too late, resulting in solidified meridians, which can only be considered mediocre. After spending these days together, Wuyazi has also gained some understanding of the character of his disciple and frankly said.
I don't need to entertain, go and take a look. As I expected, it must be the You brothers inviting you to join in the hero challenge to deal with Qiao Feng.
Not bad, Yuer. The North Ming Divine Art can absorb the internal strength of others and make it one's own. Do you think this technique is too vicious, so you have always advocated gathering your own internal strength? Wuyaizi can naturally see that Dongfang Yuer has never absorbed the internal strength of others.
"My disciple, don't try to deceive me with your words. Didn't you claim to know everything in the world? What are your own thoughts then?" Wu Yazi smiled knowingly, didn't answer directly, but instead asked back.
"Speak up, teacher, for teaching and solving doubts is your duty," said Wu Yaizi with a smile, hoping that Dongfang Yu would inherit his mantle and he would pass on all his knowledge to him.
With his back to his master, Dongfang Yu nodded and strode out of the cave. He descended from the Leigu Mountain and found a market to have a good meal. After gathering some information, he discovered that the incident in Xingzi Forest had already occurred a few days ago. Qiao Feng's identity as a Khitan was exposed, and the once renowned hero was now disgraced and became a Khitan that everyone shouted to beat.
Jade, you have already mastered the basics of the Beiming Divine Art. It's time for you to go down the mountain and explore. This skill is easy at first but difficult later on. You don't need to sit in the cave and meditate all day. After a few days, Wu Yazi spoke to Dongfang Yu.
"Master, the Ju Xian Manor's You brothers have sent a letter," at this moment, a servant from the Xue residence walked in.
However, although my cultivation these days has improved much faster than before, from the tone of Wu Yazi's voice, Dongfang Yu can still sense his dissatisfaction.
As the saying goes, if you have a problem, you should solve it. Regarding the issue of her own cultivation, Dongfang Yu would not pretend to understand, so she sincerely asked Wu Yaizi for advice. The master and disciple carefully discussed the matter.
There is something I need to ask you to do. Since Dongfang Yu's identity is a senior disciple, there is no need to be too modest. Just get straight to the point: "Have you received an invitation from the Yu brothers of Juxian Manor to attend the Hero Conference and discuss how to deal with Xiao Feng, the Khitan people?"
Oh? Let him wait in the side room," Xue Muhua nodded and responded.
"Master, rest assured, as far as I know, someone will soon be able to steal the Yi Jin Jing from the Shaolin Temple. I am confident that I can get it, and, Master, you have been paralyzed in both legs for many years. I wonder if the Yi Jin Jing can cure you?" Dongfang Yu appeared confident and assured, with a plan in mind.
Wu Yazi's face turned serious, and he said, "Although the North Ming Divine Art can absorb others' inner energy for one's own use, the capacity of the human body's meridians can only gradually expand. Otherwise, once one absorbs inner energy beyond the capacity of their own meridians, it will cause their tendons and meridians to break. Moreover, the absorbed inner energy needs time to be refined and cannot be used immediately."
The "Yijinjing", Dongfang Yu remained silent for a moment before uttering three words.
Carrying a letter of introduction from Su Xinghe, Dongfang Yu did not intend to wait for opportunities at Shaolin Temple, but went directly to Xue Muhua of the Xiaoyao Sect. It can be said that Xue Muhua is well-versed in various fields such as astrology, astronomy, geography, qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He has also devoted himself to the study of medicine and made a name for himself as a skilled physician in the martial arts world.
Master, I have one more question, after bowing down, Dongfang Yu asked again.
"I wonder what instructions the senior uncle has for suddenly visiting?" Dongfang Yu took the main seat, and Xue Muhua asked in a low voice.
This is not the case. Dongfang Yu is not as conservative as Duan Yu. He has his own concerns: "I believe that in the path of martial arts, one should not rely too much on external objects. I am afraid that obtaining internal strength in this way will make it too easy and hinder the progress towards higher peaks in martial arts. It is not worth the risk."
Well, this is indeed a method. The Shaolin Yijinjing can transform decay into magic, and the Yijing can cleanse the marrow. However, even though I collected martial arts from all over the world back then, I still couldn't obtain the Yijinjing," said Wuyazi with a hint of regret in his tone.
What are my qualifications? Dongfang Yu asked without fear of being discouraged.
Indeed, although I had already guessed in my heart, receiving confirmation from my master's own mouth, Dongfang Yu still felt disappointed. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "I wonder, master, is there any way to remedy this situation?"
Whether you can obtain the Yi Jin Jing or not, you must return within six months. As for my body, it can only hold on for about half a year at most. Wu Yazi suddenly spoke, and his words made Dongfang Yuzi's nose tingle, almost unable to hold back tears.
The Eastern Jade remained silent.
"My leg is disabled?" Wuyazi's expression changed slightly, and then he sighed softly, "Silly child, I appreciate your filial piety. If I had obtained the Yi Jin Jing in my early years, perhaps there would still be hope. But now, several decades have passed, even if I were a great immortal, it would be difficult."
"Oh? Has the plot not developed this quickly?" Dongfang Yu was slightly taken aback.
The path of cultivating inner strength is like rolling a snowball. The smaller the snowball, the harder it is to roll. The first strand of inner strength is said to be created out of nothing, and there is even a saying that it takes a hundred days to lay the foundation. Absorbing other people's inner strength for one's own use may be convenient in the early stages, but as one's inner strength becomes stronger, the self-cultivated inner strength becomes purer and grows faster. Perhaps you will no longer value other people's mixed inner strength. Therefore, your consideration is completely unnecessary.
"Master, are you asking me to go down the mountain to absorb other people's internal strength?" Dongfang Yu pondered slightly and understood the meaning of Wu Yaizi. What is the greatest feature of the North Ming Divine Art? It is the ability to absorb other people's internal strength for oneself. However, Dongfang Yu has never used it once.
Having practiced martial arts for a couple of months, coupled with the personal guidance of Wu Yazi, Dongfang Yu's kung fu is already considered passable. Although he can only be regarded as a third-rate figure in the martial arts world, he possesses the exquisite skill of "Lingbo Weibu". As long as he doesn't encounter a master famous in the "Tianlong Babu", he should have no problem protecting himself.
Wait a moment, Shishu. I'll be right back. Xue Muhua, filled with doubt, stepped back and saw the people from Juxian Manor. After reading the letter from the Yu brothers, he exclaimed in his heart, "My Shishu is truly extraordinary..." In the letter from his Shizun, it was mentioned that his Shishu could know the past and the future. He had been skeptical, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Master is knowledgeable about ancient and modern times. Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope in obtaining the Yi Jin Jing? Master, please wait for me. Once I obtain the Yi Jin Jing, I will return. After all, we must eventually descend the mountain. Dongfang Yu tidied up as he spoke, preparing to set off.
The plot has reached this point. Dongfang Yu knows that the next step is Shaolin Temple. Ah Zhu will go and steal the Yi Jin Jing. Then, Ah Zhu will get injured, and Qiao Feng will bravely enter Ju Xian Zhuang to seek medical treatment from Xue Muhua. It is worth mentioning that Xue Muhua is still his own nephew. This matter can be easily resolved.
These days, Wu Ya Zi has been imparting his knowledge generously to Dong Fang Yu. To Dong Fang Yu, he is both a father and a teacher. Although he knew that Wu Ya Zi wouldn't last long, hearing these words from him in person still made Dong Fang Yu feel uneasy. His master asked him to come back, and it was natural that he wanted to pass on his legacy.
Choosing Dongfang Yu was indeed the right decision. Practicing the Beiming Divine Art alone is like an elementary school student trying to learn high school math, with little effect. On the other hand, Wu Yazi has immersed himself in the Beiming Divine Art for decades and has completely mastered it. With his guidance, it's like receiving one-on-one tutoring from a university professor. In terms of practicing the Beiming Divine Art, Dongfang Yu is making rapid progress every day.
A good master is essential, not to mention the understanding of the Beiming Divine Art by Wu Yazi. Dongfang Yu has taken many detours. These words enlightened him. In the original work, Duan Yu also absorbed too much internal energy... to the point of going crazy, which is why he had to go to the Tianlong Temple to seek a cure.
Please get up, please get up... Xue Muhua is also in his fifties or sixties. Being kowtowed by such an elder, Dongfang Yu still felt embarrassed and quickly helped him up.
Nephew Xue Muhua, I have seen Uncle Shi. After confirming Su Xinghe's handwriting, Xue Muhua showed no sign of embarrassment. He pushed the Golden Mountain and bowed down to Dongfang Yu.
"Hahaha", Dongfang Yu's words made Wu Yazi feel relieved and laugh: "You do have ambition, and I am very happy about it. However, your cleverness has worked against you. External objects? What are external objects? Do you have to obtain heaven-sent treasures that can increase your internal strength and not use them? Do you not practice peerless divine skills once you have obtained them? Do you not use peerless divine weapons once you have found them? This is not relying on external objects?"
Oh? I have never received this before... Xue Muhua said, shaking his head.
Jianghu, should be about punishing evil and promoting justice. Along the way, many bandits and thugs have fallen victim to Dongfang Yu's poisonous hand. The internal strength of these people naturally all contributed to Dongfang Yu. In just half a month, Dongfang Yu's internal strength has multiplied several times. With a leap, he can actually jump six or seven meters away.
Thank you for your teachings, Master. The knot in Dongfang Yuxin's heart was untied, and he sincerely submits.
