Chapter 8

Time passed second by second, and half an hour had already gone by, yet Wu Yangming had not arrived. This made Fei Lian feel extremely anxious, but he forced himself to endure and refrained from asking.

I was startled by him and quickly scolded, "Lower your voice, this is something I brought down secretly. Do you want it? If not, I can take it back."

I nodded and continued, "This method is to find someone who knows nothing of martial arts, to endure the suffering of ice and fire for forty-nine days, and then after thirty-six days of meditation, to transform the yin and yang energies within them into a warm, blended energy. In this way, practicing the Prajna Divine Palm will yield twice the result with half the effort."

I smiled mischievously and looked at him, saying, "Did I not mention before that only those without martial arts skills can practice this? Are you not planning to keep this martial arts skill?"

is not

Refer to the junior master uncle!

As long as you can save my father, I would not hesitate to sacrifice my life immediately.

The young man knelt there in excitement, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Wu Yangming has helped me quite a bit. Although he is my disciple's descendant, the emperor does not mind having capable subordinates. I give him some remuneration, simply to ensure that he will work even harder for me in the future. Just look at his tearful and adoring face now, and you can tell how grateful he is to me

A person beside asked

I nodded and said, "Oh, I understand! The pursuit of martial arts, for people today, is akin to the pursuit of their own happy lives, and martial arts serve as the tools for them to attain happiness, correct?"

I laughed and said, "So you all actually regard martial arts as a secret to longevity and practice it as such"

A middle-aged man agreed.

The young man choked back his emotions and stopped his actions, instinctively asking: "Did you not say earlier that the general manager had left work and that others could not handle it?"

Do not thank me too early

In fact, there is another practice method for the Divine Palm of Wisdom, which is particularly suitable for Fei Lian to train.

The young man expressed his gratitude: "I have noted it down, thank you, elder brother"

The guards stationed at the door were momentarily dazzled, and a handsome young bald man in casual attire appeared on the steps at the entrance.

Indeed, this is the method mentioned by the master. Originally, I was planning to go to the "Heavenly Fire and Earth Ice Pool" in Xinjiang. Since there is an Ice and Fire Cave here, although the effect is much inferior, it will have to suffice.

Ten minutes later, I opened my eyes and calmly said: "It's here!"

As soon as I hung up the phone, the young man joyfully knelt on the ground and tearfully said: "Sir! Thank you so much!"

Yu Bing pondered and said: "The person you are going to meet this time is the vice chairman, who holds a position several levels higher than our general manager. As long as he is willing to help you, even if your father’s illness were to worsen significantly, you need not worry about financial issues. The person who sent you here must have informed you that we are a subsidiary of the Shaolin Temple Group. This vice chairman is indeed from the Songshan Shaolin Temple; although he is quite young, he is certainly not an ordinary person! However, since he comes from the Shaolin Temple and has a youthful disposition, he is bound to have a kind heart; otherwise, he would not have allowed me to bring you in... When you face him, just remember to plead earnestly, and that will suffice"

Fei Lian opened it and saw it was filled with bundles of hundred-yuan bills. Having never seen so much money before, he suddenly felt his hands tremble, as if he could not hold the money steadily. "Master... is this two million? All of it for me?"

Wu Yangming listened and also sighed, "Alas, then let it be. I will continue as usual!"

Oh, did you see that? It's the mysterious bald man from just now, he must have come from the Shaolin Temple

Wu Yangming did not even glance at Fei Lian, and directly bowed to me, saying: "As it is already late, the bank does not permit such a large cash withdrawal, and it is not easy to gather the cash, so I arrived a bit late. I hope my little master uncle can forgive me"

The young man, seemingly oblivious to the guard's explanation, fell to the ground with tears streaming down his face and began to bow his head in reverence.

Please do not misunderstand, it was not I who stole the secret manual, but rather it was secretly given to me by a disciple of the Damo Hall before I descended the mountain. Since that is the case, it should be acceptable for me to bring it as a gift, right

Subsequently, he quickly made a phone call to Yu Bing, asking him to arrange the vehicle.

If it weren't for the ultimate goal of finding the fairy sister, I would have probably taken Cen Yiyi to a picturesque place, built a house with my own hands, and lived a happy life by now

Although this person lacks a foundation in martial arts, he possesses a flexible skeletal structure, expressive eyes and brows, and a resolute character. Furthermore, being a Yuan Yang youth, if he practices the Shaolin's Prajna Divine Palm, he can be considered a gifted talent bestowed by heaven

Indeed, how could this person possibly achieve mastery

Hmm? The Shaolin Temple Building? I looked up, and the three large characters inscribed by my master were shining brilliantly right there! It turns out I have arrived at my own doorstep.

Wu Yangming said: "In this rapidly developing world, who does not wish to live a long life and possess great strength to enjoy the pleasures of life? Otherwise, what reason does my junior uncle have to believe that the disciples of our various sects can continue to increase?"

Suddenly, Wu Yangming let out a roar that could rival the "Lion's Roar," his eyes wide open like cowbells, articulating each word clearly: "Wei, Tuo, Fu, Mo, Sword, Law?"

Wu Yangming replied: "Little Master Uncle, the era of firearms has arrived, and martial arts have become useless." At first glance, this statement seems correct, but upon closer reflection, it is not quite the case. First, China is now a society governed by law; who would dare to openly brandish a gun on the streets? However, for us practitioners of martial arts, it is different; when we walk down the street, no one knows. Moreover, aside from wartime, very few people dare to openly use firearms to engage in combat; most rely on primitive tools such as daggers and machetes. In the face of these weapons, our martial arts can be of great use!

The young man expressed his gratitude, saying: "Thank you, big brother! Please, big brother, go ahead and speak!"

The young man quickly replied: "In total, it is 1,200,000."

I agreed to his request

The onlookers shouted

Elder brother, I beg you, please help me. If I cannot get the money today, the hospital will transfer the prepared kidney to someone else. I implore you to let the boss come out for a moment

Wu Yangming's expression immediately fell into disappointment, "Why?"

Seeing the crowd around me growing larger, and estimating that Wu Yangming had already returned home, there was no one who could replace him in handling such matters. I had no choice but to bravely step forward and contribute a bit more to the achievements of the Shaolin Temple

It is natural.

Oh? Little Master Uncle, apart from your master and my ancestor, Master Yuan Ning, no one else in this world has mastered the Prajna Divine Palm. How could he possibly do it?

The path of Wu Yangming is resolute: "This may be the case for outsiders, but for us core disciples of Shaolin, there remains a sense of belonging. Shaolin Temple has become an indispensable part of our lives, and we are always prepared to dedicate ourselves for the sake of Shaolin Temple"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yangming felt a chill rising within him and said, "You cannot be suggesting that he should enter the Ice and Fire Cave of Hanshan Temple, can you"

To speak of returning to Shaolin, to seek refuge under the might of Shaolin, that is not impossible, but it does seem rather lacking in masculinity. I certainly do not wish to live my life as a timid turtle.

It is not to say that Shaolin is stingy, but these martial arts secrets passed down from our ancestors are naturally better kept confidential.

Hurry, hurry, I hope you succeed

Hehe, no need to thank me

That is incorrect, that is incorrect! When it comes to doing business, you are knowledgeable, but when it comes to assessing people's qualities, you do not understand.

In recent days, I have watched quite a bit of television in the dormitory and noticed that the streets of every city seem to be the same, filled with towering skyscrapers, throngs of people, and the same vibrant nightlife... Yet, what is uniquely absent is the tranquility and natural beauty of the Shaolin Temple

Wait a moment

Yu Bing stopped and pointed at the large sandalwood door ahead, saying: "That's the place, good luck!"

Want! Want!

However, do not be anxious, what is this?

Thus, he ingratiatingly smiled and said, "Little Master Uncle, please stop teasing your disciple and just tell me!"

I looked at him with appreciation and said, "Although it is the same achievement, the method devised by the master is a quick-fix approach, so the effect cannot be compared to the genuine one. The estimated power is probably only about one-tenth of that!"

Indeed, you should go in quickly; time waits for no one

Secondly, firearms are always an external aid, rather than a capability inherent to oneself. In the event of an emergency, I can assure you that those who survive will be individuals from our martial arts community. Moreover, when martial arts are practiced to a certain level, they not only can withstand firearms but also promote longevity. Given such a beneficial and harmless pursuit, why should we refuse it?

In Wu Yangming's eyes, a flash of excitement appeared, "Rest assured, Master Uncle, your disciple will not disappoint your expectations"

Wu Yangming shrugged secretly: Is this what you call making do? Even if I were to enter the Ice and Fire Cave, I would have to endure for forty-nine days, barely surviving. Not to mention that kid who doesn't know any martial arts! ... My little master uncle is indeed a little demon star!

It turned out that this young man's father had contracted a strange illness that required a kidney transplant. However, due to their impoverished circumstances, they were unable to afford the medical expenses. Therefore, under the guidance of kind-hearted individuals, the young man came to the Shaolin Temple building, preparing to sell himself to save his father

Another old man patted the young man's shoulder and said, "Young man, what are you still dawdling for? Your father's life depends on your efforts to seek assistance. Hurry inside!"

The middle-aged security guard was momentarily taken aback, but then his expression brightened with joy. He hurried up the steps and respectfully inquired, "I am Yu Bing, the head of security on duty tonight. May I ask who you are..."

That is not correct

I stopped him and said, "After your father recovers, come find this Mr. Wu; he will arrange for you to meet me."

While lost in thought, I suddenly saw the entrance of a luxurious commercial building crowded with onlookers.

I confidently said: "The rest can be used for your household needs. Since you are working with me, I certainly cannot let you and your family go hungry"

"Master Uncle, do you think I can go with him to learn the Prana Divine Palm like this?"

The young man replied without hesitation: "But please, my lord, allow me to take care of my father first. Once his surgery is completed, I will come immediately to await your instructions"

On the way to the small conference room on the first floor, Yu Bing said to the young man: "Young man, I really appreciate your filial piety, so I have a few words of advice for you."

Please grant your guidance, esteemed junior master uncle

I nodded slightly, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed the number. "Is this Yang Ming? Yes, it's me... I'm currently in the conference room on the first floor of your company. Bring me two million in cash... Alright, I'll wait for you."

I promised Yiyi that I would protect her, but I have yet to come up with a proper method to do so

Yang Ming, what do you think of him

At this moment, several security guards coming out of the building are persuading the young man

Who is that person? Why do they seem to have such an imposing presence?

An experienced guard said this

It can be understood

Alright, I understand your loyalty

Fei Lian took the business card, carefully placed it in his bosom, and after bowing to me once more, quickly walked out of the conference room while holding the money.

Having had my fun with him, I took out a book from my possession and handed it over.

I slightly employed my agility and quickly squeezed into the crowd. Upon closer inspection, it was a young man in his twenties, kneeling directly in front of the building's exit

No wonder he treasures it so much; the Weituo Demon Subduing Sword Technique is the second sword technique of Shaolin, second only to the Dharma Sword Technique. Not to mention lay disciples, even many disciples of this temple are not qualified to practice it

Alright, alright, get up now. Do not treat your life as a joke. If you were to die from bowing, what would you use to save your father?

From his respectful demeanor, I could tell that he already knew who I was. However, this made things somewhat easier. I gestured for him to lean in closer, spoke a few words to him, and then walked straight into the building

I stood up with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work"

Yu Bing nodded and said: "Indeed, the general manager has left for the day... However, you are quite fortunate, as a senior official from our headquarters happened to be here, and it was he who asked me to take you inside"

At this moment, Wu Yangming was in a state of emotional low, and he did not understand what I was saying. He instinctively reached out to take it, glanced at it, and was about to set it aside, "Oh, so this is the Weituo Demon Subduing Sword Technique... Ah!"

I said softly: "The amount of money I am giving is not without cost; from now on, your life will be under my control. Do you have any objections?"

Wu Yang called out, saying to me: "Little Master Uncle, didn't you say before that it takes eighty years of mastery in the Yi Jin Jing to achieve success? Although entering the Ice and Fire Cave is arduous, it shouldn't have such a significant effect, right?"

Indeed, after a brief moment, accompanied by a gentle sound of footsteps, Wu Yangming appeared before us, carrying a large bag.

Wu Yangming hurriedly held the secret manual close to his chest, declaring, "No one shall think of taking it from me!"

The young man took a deep breath, removed the large wooden board hanging around his neck, held it in his hand, and knocked on the door before entering

May I ask ... ...

Let me share another secret with you! To master the Prana Divine Palm, one must possess eighty years of proficiency in the Yi Jin Jing. Moreover, apart from my master, the oldest abbot brother is only seventy-six years old. How could they possibly achieve this?

Wu Yangming handed over the pocket filled with cash to Fei Lian

Yes, yes! It's him! I was wondering how he got in so easily; it turns out he is a big shot!

Ah!

To say that one should start practicing martial arts now is rather too late. Which master from the Shaolin Temple did not begin diligent training from the age of six? Now that the bones have formed and the meridians are blocked, no matter how much one practices, it is impossible to reach the level of a master

He has a handsome face and a tall stature, and he is carrying a large wooden board with some writing on it. Without needing to look at the wooden board, the discussions of the people nearby let me know what has happened

The young man replied resolutely

I pointed to the secret manual in his hand and said, "Then practice the Vaidurya Demon Subduing Sword well at https://m.hetushu.com. In the future, Shaolin will be proud of you."

I have said that whoever saves my father will be my master from that point onward

In response to the junior master uncle, the disciple feels that he neither possesses martial skills nor a solid foundation, and is not a suitable candidate for cultivation

Today, although I met the campus beauty Mu Zhi from Suzhou University, she was not the celestial sister of my dreams. Furthermore, her personality is as cold as an iceberg, which instantly diminished my interest in further exploration

I looked at him with satisfaction and said, "How much does your father need?"

The young man was clearly taken aback upon seeing me, likely unable to believe that someone in such a high position could be merely a teenager. However, he quickly regained his composure and, without a word, knelt down and began to bow vigorously. In an instant, his previously swollen forehead was covered in blood, having been injured from the repeated bows.

Ah?

I closed my eyes and rested alone, no longer paying attention to him

By the time I reached this point, Wu Yangming was already feeling restless: Oh my! ... If only I could also learn one of the three great palm techniques of Shaolin, the Prajna Divine Palm...

Feilian's eyes were filled with tears, and he had to hold back, preventing the tears from falling.

Thank you, Master, Feilian will go right away

Wu Yangming thought to himself: Whatever, even if it's only one-tenth, or even one-twentieth, it is still a treasured skill of Shaolin. Learning an additional unique technique would be beneficial for self-defense.

Then he pointed to Feilian, who was standing beside him, and said: "Give the money to him!"

Yu Bing smiled without answering, then turned to the young man who was bowing and crying, saying: "Young man, stop crying, come in with me, your father will be saved"

Wu Yangming took out a business card and said to him, "When the time comes, show this card to the person at the counter, and they will know what to do. Also, it's inconvenient for you to carry so much money, so it's better to take my car!"

The guards explained to him once again, but the young man still refused to listen, continuing to cry and knock his head, his voice growing louder. I stood by, quite pleased with the guards' performance; they truly are one of the hallmarks of our Shaolin Temple

I sighed and said: "Because this is an unorthodox path, it does not align with the authentic principles of my Shaolin teachings. Two different types of vital energy cannot coexist, unless you are tired of living and wish to fall into madness"

Observing Wu Yangming's excitement upon obtaining the secret manual, I pondered and asked, "Yangming, why is it that even in the era of firearms, our martial arts can still thrive, and perhaps even surpass the past?"

I said, brother, I have informed you that the senior management of our company has already left for the day. If you are truly in difficulty, then please come directly to our general manager tomorrow, alright? Do not keep blocking the way here; our company's image does not permit it

After class, in order to avoid Du Lichu's "intense interrogation," I specifically took a taxi to the city center to have a meal, and afterwards, I also took the opportunity to enjoy the scenery of Suzhou.
