Chapter 15: Xiantian Gong
Duan Zhengming was not only moved by Yinggu's resurrection, but also knew the identity of "Duan Boss"...
It was exactly the exiled prince Duan Yanqing during the Dali coup more than 20 years ago!
At that time, Yang Yizhen, a powerful official in Dali, usurped the throne, the Dali Emperor Duan Lianyi was killed, and the Crown Prince Yanqing disappeared. Duan Zhengming always thought that he had also been killed.
Later, Duan Shouhui put down the rebellion and restored the throne. A few years later, Duan Shouhui became a monk and gave up the throne to his cousin Duan Zhengming.
Duan Zhengming only found out last night that Prince Yanqing was not only still alive, but also... Duan Shouhui had secretly hunted him down because of his greed for power!
Even Duan Yanqing's current serious illnesses and old injuries were mostly caused at that time.
Therefore, Duan Yanqing also has great hatred towards the current Duan royal family.
Although Duan Shouhui had died, he told this matter to other Duan ancestors in Tianlong Temple for reflection before his death.
After Duan Zhengming learned about this, he wanted to give up his throne to Duan Yanqing. However, important officials of Dali such as Ba Tianshi, Hua Hegen, and Gao Shengtai all strongly opposed it.
Duan Yanqing had been disabled for many years, was full of hatred, and had a cold and cruel temperament. How could we entrust the Dali country to him?
Duan Zhengming also accepted this statement, but he secretly decided that when he went to Wanghou Valley seven days later, he would sacrifice his own life to sever the karmic relationship with Duan Yanqing and Yinggu!
At the same time, he was thinking that there was no successor to Xiantian Gong. He remembered that he saw the finger technique of Chu Lu Ren last night, which had some resemblance to the One Yang Finger, and that his character was also decent, so he thought of trying his luck.
Who would have thought that Chu Luren would be so sensitive...
After Duan Zhengchun was sure of Duan Zhengming's intention, he tried to dissuade him even more.
"The late emperor committed a serious mistake out of greed, and I watched him die without saving him due to my anger and delusion... The late emperor has passed away, so I will repay him with my own life. Otherwise... when will the cycle of revenge end!" Duan Zhengming said helplessly.
Chu Lu Ren also understood what Duan Zhengming meant at this time - rather than blaming himself for being unfair to Yinggu, the Southern Emperor blamed himself for his own anger and obsession.
Whether he saved the person or not, he did not feel guilty towards others. It was just that Duan Zhengming felt that it was his own anger and delusion that caused the person he "originally wanted to save" to not be saved because of his anger and delusion, so he blamed himself.
The Dali Duan family has a long history of Buddhism, and with a number of Duan ancestors in the Tianlong Temple, it is not surprising that Duan Zhengming would have such an idea.
However, under the threat of Duan Zhengchun's refusal to accept the throne, Duan Zhengming finally gave up his determination to die, and said, "Well, after this matter is settled, I will go to Tianlong Temple to become a monk and reflect on my actions."
"But my dear nephew, you should just understand this 'Xiantian Gong' for now. It would be best if you can master it. In the future, just remember the Quanzhen master's kindness in passing on the skills. If you can meet a qualified Quanzhen disciple, remember to pass this martial art back... Your internal strength is still shallow now, so it will be easier for you to change your internal strength." Duan Zhengming still did not give up on passing on the skills.
In fact, this martial art was originally recorded in a book in the Quanzhen Sect. However, since no one among the Seven Quanzhen disciples had mastered it, and Wang Chongyang was worried that Ouyang Feng would covet this martial art after his death, he ordered his disciples to destroy the secret book.
When Chu Lu Ren saw that Duan Zhengming had given up the determination to die, he accepted the teachings.
As Chu Lu Ren expected, the oral transmission of skills was also effective. Before dinner, Chu Lu Ren's meditation had already added a badge representing the Xiantian skill that could not be equipped...
If the "One Yang Finger" had not been integrated, Chu Lu Ren might have taken a gamble and integrated the "One Yang Finger" with the "Xiantian Gong". Although one is a finger technique and the other is internal strength, they don't seem to match each other, but there is a precedent of Duan Zhengming combining the two into one.
But since he doesn't have "One Yang Finger" now and only has "Vigor Finger", Chu Lu Ren still wants to wait until he has other internal skills before integrating them.
However, Chu Lu Ren has already thoroughly understood the nature of "Xiantian Gong".
Different from general internal energy, Xiantian energy can stimulate the "innate energy" that is hidden in the human body at birth and make use of this innate energy...
Therefore, it is not only obscure and difficult to understand, it also requires very high qualifications. Moreover, when ordinary people take their first breath after birth, most of their innate qi is gone. When yin and yang interact for the first time, even more is lost. Naturally, it becomes even more difficult to achieve innate skills.
Furthermore, the training of Xiantian Qi by Xiantian Gong is not perfect. Although the Xiantian Qi is particularly effective in healing injuries when the user uses Xiantian Gong, there is no effective means of recovery...
For an ordinary master of internal martial arts, even if 80% to 90% of his internal energy is gone, he can recover it by practicing martial arts for a few days at most. Some masters can even recover it by meditating for a few hours.
Even if it is the legendary Wedding Dress Magical Skill, after being instilled into others, if there is some residual power left, it can also lead to a higher level of improvement within a few months.
Once Xiantian Gong reaches the level of calling upon Xiantian Qi, it is equivalent to the remaining roots being damaged, and it will take years or even decades to recover...
Chu Lu Ren even suspected that Wang Chongyang had exploded with his innate energy to fight during the Huashan Sword Contest, which was why he died within two years.
Of course, even if we don't take this section into consideration and don't stimulate the innate qi, the innate skill is also a top-notch internal skill. It is not only good at healing, but also very outstanding in the normal qi recovery speed, and it also has some poison resistance bonus.
"You're so old, but you don't know how to eat? Ah... Uncle is here too." Mu Wanqing came over with a lunch box during dinner time.
He seemed surprised that Duan Zhengming was there, but...it looked like he was chasing someone away.
"Hahaha, uncle didn't check the time. I won't delay your meal!" Duan Zhengming finally saw good news. Chu Lu Ren was indeed extremely talented. Although he had not seen him master it, from his questions, Duan Zhengming knew that he had already mastered the Xiantian Gong.
As for whether or not he can master it, it all depends on fate...
This was also the reason why Chu Lu Ren wanted to reassure Duan Zhengming, so he intentionally demonstrated his accomplishments in the consultation.
Before Duan Zhengming left, he reminded him, "Nephew Chu, don't forget your innate energy."
Chu Lu Ren:囧
Chu Lu Ren always felt that Duan Zhengming was afraid that he would just " stay overnight" with Mu Wanqing...
"Well, I'm afraid you'll starve to death." Mu Wanqing put the food box down, meaning: Come and eat.
After saying “It smells so good”, Chu Lu Ren did not forget to remind Mu Wanqing to be careful.
"Mind your own business!" Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes at him. She was instinctively stubborn, but then she secretly regretted her attitude. However, when she saw that Chu Luren didn't seem to care too much, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Mu Wanqing was not abducted, Chu Lu Ren estimated that Duan Yanqing would most likely try another tactic.
Previously, the army was stationed outside the city and there were not many guards in the Zhennan Palace, so they were able to take advantage of the situation.
Now troops have been specially dispatched to guard the area around the imperial palace. Although Dali is small, it is easy to mobilize several thousand soldiers near the imperial city. If Duan Yanqing dares to come, he will probably be suppressed directly.
Chu Lu Ren rested for a few days. When there were only three days left before the seven-day appointment, news came from Wan Chou Valley again, which made Chu Lu Ren sigh that the fathers of the Tianlong trio were really good at betraying their sons!
