Chapter 14: The Past of the Southern Emperor
"No bones or muscles are injured, but the swelling is quite severe. My dear nephew, just take good care of yourself. Don't worry about Yu'er. This is Dali, Yu'er will be fine."
Duan Zhengming had actually used his internal force to massage Chu Luren's ankle just now. Chu Luren instantly felt the pain was much lessened and hurriedly thanked Duan Zhengming.
Clearly he was poisoned yesterday, but Duan Zhengming's complexion has returned to normal today. But Chu Lu Ren... he didn't sleep much all night because of the pain, and because his ankle was swollen, it was not easy for him to sit cross-legged and regulate his breathing. Now he looks like he was seriously injured.
Afterwards, when Duan Zhengming mentioned Duan Yu again, Chu Lu Ren, who was "familiar" with this section, quickly reminded him, "And Miss Mu's safety! I always feel that they will cause trouble."
"Hahaha, yes, and 'your' Miss Mu." Duan Zhengming said this and even winked at Chu Lu Ren.
Chu Lu Ren: ???
What does it have to do with me? She and I are not siblings!
Besides...
Chu Lu Ren had wanted to complain a long time ago. Wasn't it just because he was poisoned by the "beep" drug? Could he just not hold it in?
Don’t they still have hands? These heroes and heroines are really confusing!
Whoever dares to give him the "beep" drug, Chu Lu Ren will make them know what it means to detoxify in three minutes, safely and painlessly...
After hearing Chu Lu Ren's "reminder", Duan Zhengming was obviously thinking about other things, and for a moment he felt that Chu Lu Ren became more and more pleasing to the eye.
After a moment of hesitation, he mentioned another thing to Chu Lu Ren: "When nephew Chu fought with Yun Zhonghe before, his finger techniques seemed to have some traces of the One Yang Finger... Oh! Uncle, I was just thinking that if nephew is so intelligent, he might be able to learn another technique."
"Yes, One Finger Yang is profound and extensive. After taking a few glances at it, I was touched." Chu Lu Ren felt curious and a little surprised. Could it be that he wanted to teach him the Six Meridians Divine Sword?
Chu Lu Ren was not surprised that Duan Zhengming could tell the origins of some fingering techniques. However, because Chu Lu Ren had just looked at the fingering score at that time, and after all, there was still a difference between the combined "Vigorous One Finger" and "One Yang Finger", Duan Zhengming just thought that he already had some fingering techniques, and then when he looked at One Yang Finger, he gained some insights.
Even so, it was enough to show how talented Chu Luren was - Chu Luren had no choice but to accept this.
"Nephew Chu, is he ready to marry?" Duan Zhengming groaned again, seeming a little hesitant.
Chu Luren was not stupid. Following Duan Zhengming's reaction just now, he thought that he had misunderstood him and Mu Wanqing, so he quickly explained: "We are not married yet, but there is nothing between Miss Mu and me..."
Duan Zhengming blinked at Chu Lu Ren with an even weirder look on his face after hearing this, and then he said, "It's just that the technique that your uncle wants to pass on to you will be easier to practice as a boy."
Chu Lu Ren:囧
"Hahaha, of course the matter between you and Wanqing...you're just young people! Just take care of it yourselves. If you really think it's appropriate, you can also tell your uncle!" Duan Zhengming laughed.
Instantly, Chu Lu Ren not only felt that his foot was healed, but also felt so embarrassed that he wished he could carve out a three-bedroom apartment right there...
Seeing Chu Lu Ren's embarrassment, Duan Zhengming did not " press on the opportunity " but changed the topic just now: "This skill was passed down to me by Quanzhen Founder Wang Chongyang. It was originally intended to restrain Ouyang Feng. Unfortunately... this skill requires extremely high comprehension. I have also discussed it with my second brother. When Wang Chongyang was alive, he also passed it down to the Seven Quanzhen disciples, but they all gained nothing."
After hearing Duan Zhengming say this, Chu Lu Ren immediately understood that he was just dreaming about the Six Meridians Divine Sword. What Duan Zhengming was talking about should be his other kung fu besides the "One Yang Finger" - the Xiantian Kung!
Precisely because it is difficult to practice, it is almost lost in the Legend of the Condor Heroes storyline. In the original work, the Southern Emperor regretted not saving Yinggu's child and even had thoughts of committing suicide. He only wanted to pass the Xiantian Gong to the Northern Beggar before he died. However, Hong Qigong discovered his intention and refused to learn it. This made the Southern Emperor change his mind and take a step back to become a monk to reflect...
Not only did the Southern Emperor fail to find a suitable successor, even the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were unable to master this skill.
"As for the matter of Yuan Yang's body, you don't have to worry, my dear nephew. It's just that if Yuan Yang is still there, it will be easier to get started. If you can really practice it, it will only take two or three years, and there will be no problem after that. You and... ahem, you are still young, there is no need to rush." Duan Zhengming added.
Chu Lu Ren was not worried about Yuan Yang's problem. After all, even if he learned it, it would be used for integration. Even if there were some bad limitations after integration, the worst thing would be not to use it.
But I am a little worried about the reason why Duan Zhengming passed on his skills...
"Since it was passed down to Uncle Duan by the founder of Quanzhen, why... I'm sorry, I don't want to accept it." Chu Lu Ren thought of what Duan Zhengming said yesterday, which was vague and only said that an "old friend" had stopped him. He had some guesses in his mind and naturally would not think about the Xiantian Gong at this time.
At this moment, Duan Zhengchun suddenly pushed the door open and said, "That's right! Brother Emperor, even nephew Chu said so. You must not have such an idea!"
It was rare for Duan Zhengchun to speak to his brother in such a "harsh" tone.
That’s right, the person who stopped Duan Zhengming “at the right time” last night was the legendary Yinggu.
Duan Zhengming was even more miserable than the Southern Emperor in Chu Luren's impression.
The Southern Emperor in The Legend of the Condor Heroes had many concubines, but Yinggu was the one he liked more , while Duan Zhengming only had one Yinggu. Moreover, he had just brought Yinggu into the palace and had not yet consummated the marriage when he went to practice Xiantian Kung with Wang Chongyang...
The result was the same as in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Zhou Botong, who came with Wang Chongyang, had a romantic relationship with Yinggu and did something immoral. After being discovered, Wang Chongyang wanted to clean up the mess, but was stopped by Duan Zhengming.
Firstly, he was grateful for Wang Chongyang's trust in coming all the way to pass on his skills, and he couldn't bear to hurt his junior brother. Secondly, Duan Zhengming and Yinggu were childhood sweethearts. When he saw the look in Yinggu's eyes towards Zhou Botong, he realized that Yinggu didn't love him... Instead, he wanted to help the two of them and let them leave Dali.
However, Zhou Botong felt that he had let Duan Zhengming down, so he "ran away". Duan Zhengming did not drive Yinggu away, and even when he later discovered that Yinggu was pregnant, Duan Zhengming just pretended that she did not exist.
But later, Yinggu's child was attacked by someone with extremely strong palm power, but the child was not killed. Yinggu knew that "only" the innate ability could save the child, so she went to beg Duan Zhengming. Duan Zhengming was reluctant at first, but when he wanted to save the child, he saw the love poem of Yinggu and Zhou Botong embroidered on the child's belly|band, so he ruthlessly watched the child die without saving him once...
In theory, as long as one is not possessed, even a feminist, no one would think that Old Duan did anything wrong. After all, saving people is not a "piece of cake". Duan Zhengming would have to disperse his energy for a long time and take huge risks, which is exactly the purpose of the person who plotted against him.
To use a modern analogy, it would be like selling the only house to pay for the medical treatment of his wife and her lover's illegitimate child... It is remarkable that Duan Zhengming would even think of this.
However, Yinggu hated him because of this incident, and Duan Zhengming himself felt very guilty and did not marry for twenty years.
Duan Zhengchun noticed yesterday that Duan Zhengming was in a bad mood. Today, he heard that he was looking for Chu Luren, so he came over to check it out. He happened to hear a section on Xiantian Gong outside the door. When he saw Chu Luren refused, he could no longer bear it and pushed the door open.
"Hey, second brother, you don't know that this is not just about Yinggu. I also met with several masters from Tianlong Temple last night and finally pieced together the origin of 'Boss Duan'..."
