Seeing Zen Master Kurong's performance like this, Meng Xiuyuan thought for a while and understood the reason.
Obviously, at this time, the Tubo Imperial Master, King Dalunming, should have arrived in Dali, and this letter should have been sent by him.
Meng Xiuyuan's eyesight was very good. He only took a glance at it from a distance and saw that the envelope should be made of gold and had a very thin cover, with words inlaid in platinum.
Such a high-profile approach is in line with Jiumozhi's style.
However, hearing Zen Master Kurong's tone, as if he was about to see off a guest, Meng Xiuyuan smiled, shook his head, and said:
"What Zen Master Kurong said makes sense. If your temple is unable to decide on the matter of my study of "One Yang Finger" at the moment, we can indeed postpone the discussion. There is no rush.
It’s just that I heard what the Zen Master said. I’m afraid Tianlong Temple is not visiting some distinguished guests, but a powerful enemy, right?”
Everyone in the room couldn't help but be shocked when they heard Meng Xiuyuan's words.
Among them, Duan Zhengming and other people who had not read the letter were all doubtful, secretly thinking that if Meng Xiuyuan said it was true, who in the world would be so bold as to come to Dali Tianlong Temple to cause trouble.
Abbot Benyin, who had already read the contents of the letter, frowned and looked at Meng Xiuyuan with a very wary look. He didn't know if Meng Xiuyuan had really guessed it right or if he had something to do with it.
Only Zen Master Kurong, after a moment of silence, still calmly replied to Meng Xiuyuan:
"What Benefactor Meng said is true, a fellow Taoist is indeed coming to our temple today to ask for the martial arts from our temple.
When the time comes when there is a dispute, it may be difficult to settle things with just words.
So it’s not an exaggeration to say they are powerful enemies.”
As soon as he said this, before Meng Xiuyuan could react, the monks next to him were surprised again. They never expected that someone would dare to come to Tianlong Temple to steal martial arts.
The original monk couldn't resist his curiosity, and immediately bowed to Zen Master Kurong, took the golden envelope from his hand, and circulated it among his brothers.
Only Abbot Benyin, who knew the truth, felt more and more that something was wrong. He was afraid that if Meng Xiuyuan and Jiumozhi joined forces, it would be more difficult for Tianlong Temple to deal with it. So he said to Meng Xiuyuan politely:
"Donor Meng, in order to deal with that distinguished guest, I am afraid that we and I will have to prepare a lot, and it will be difficult for us to entertain you again.
If it is convenient, please come back to the temple in three days and we can discuss it slowly."
The abbot's words to see off the guests were already very straightforward, but Meng Xiuyuan did not want to miss this opportunity to broaden his horizons, so he immediately said sincerely:
"Before I came here, I told Emperor Duan that I wanted to see the unique martial arts skills of your temple, but I was embarrassed to disturb you all.
It just so happens that with today's situation, the eminent monks are about to take action to deal with the enemy.
I wonder if you can let me stand aside for a while and take this opportunity to see how amazing the skills of this Six Meridian Divine Sword are?"
When Meng Xiuyuan said the name "Six Meridians Divine Sword", everyone present in Tianlong Temple was shocked.
You must know that even the current emperor of Dali, Duan Zhengming, only heard his father talk about it when he was young. The Duan family ancestors had a martial arts called the "Six Meridians Divine Sword", which was extremely powerful.
But his father also said that it was just a rumor. He had never heard of any ancestor who knew this skill, and no one knew whether this skill had been lost or not.
Now that Meng Xiuyuan, an outsider, actually revealed the name of the "Six Meridians Divine Sword", he seemed to know that this magical skill was hidden in Tianlong Temple, which made everyone very vigilant.
For a time, they became increasingly suspicious of whether Meng Xiuyuan was related to Jiumozhi and wanted to pursue the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" together.
For a long time, the atmosphere in the wooden house became slightly calm, and everyone in the Duan family stared at Meng Xiuyuan. It was not until finally that Zen Master Kurong broke the silence and asked:
"I wonder where Benefactor Meng knew about my Duan family's "Six Meridians Divine Sword", and what did he want to do with it?"
Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this and understood the suspicion of everyone in Tianlong Temple. He immediately took out the gem ring of Xiaoyao Sect from his arms and handed it to Abbot Benyin beside him:
"I wonder if Zen Master Kurong has seen this thing before."
Although Ben Yin was confused when he saw this, he hurriedly walked to Zen Master Kurong, spread out the gem ring in his palm, and showed it to his uncle, who had been facing the wall.
Ku Rongxie only glanced sideways, then even though his body was trembling slightly, he asked:
"You are actually his disciple? He is still alive?"
"Not a disciple, just a junior brother.
Zen Master, don’t worry, although Senior Brother he can’t use his Kung Fu anymore, he should have no problem living safely for a few more decades.”
Meng Xiuyuan explained calmly.
When he was discussing martial arts with Wu Yazi in Tiande Mudi Valley, he heard him mention Master Kurong by chance. Although he didn't know the specific relationship between the two, they at least knew each other.
If this were not the case, Meng Xiuyuan would naturally not deliberately bring up the matter of the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" to cause trouble for himself.
"No wonder Lord Meng, you have unparalleled martial arts at such a young age. I see..."
Zen Master Kurong suddenly felt that everything had been explained. There was also a bit more emotion in the voice that was originally calm from beginning to end.
The Duan family members on the side saw this situation. Although they didn't know the specific reason, they could roughly understand the meaning and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. They just thought that today they might not have to deal with two powerful enemies at the same time.
Ben Yin quickly walked back to Meng Xiuyuan and politely returned the gemstone ring.
After another moment of silence, Zen Master Kurong spoke again:
"Since Benefactor Meng is so interested, it's not impossible.
Maharaja Ming of Daxueshan, as the Tubo Imperial Master, is not a good person, so we will have to fight with him.
It is also a good thing to have an expert like Benefactor Meng to witness.
In case the final outcome has been decided, there are still people who are unwilling to accept it and insist on insisting on it."
Meng Xiuyuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He understood the meaning of Zen Master Kurong's words and asked him to be an insurance policy.
If Jiumozhi refuses to admit his defeat and resorts to some despicable means, he, a third party, can come forward to uphold justice without causing the two sides to get into trouble and escalate to the point of conflict between Dali and Tubo.

After that, he stopped disturbing everyone in Tianlong Temple from practicing the "Six Meridians Divine Sword", and immediately turned around and left the house, where he was led by a young novice to the guest room to rest.

…
A few hours later, when it was getting late, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly heard a vague Sanskrit chant coming from far away from Tianlong Temple.
He knew that Jiumozhi had arrived, so he immediately left the guest room, walked to the "Muni Hall" where all the monks gathered, and pushed the door straight in.
"Master Meng, please sit down."
Ben Yin and others looked solemn. When they saw Meng Xiuyuan entering, they all nodded to him and politely led him to a futon on the side of the hall. Their attitude was much more friendly than before.
From the looks of it, even though he didn't say it explicitly, he regarded Meng Xiuyuan as a strong support in this disaster.
It is also worth mentioning that Duan Zhengming, Emperor Duan, had also shaved off his long hair and changed into a monk's robe. Apparently, in order to be qualified to learn "Six Meridians Divine Sword" to fight the enemy, he had temporarily become a monk.
Already.
However, he had no time to pay attention to Meng Xiuyuan at this time. Instead, he was rolling up the brocade and silk pictures and placing them in front of Master Kurong. Obviously, those were the sword manuals of the "Six Meridians Divine Sword".
Although Meng Xiuyuan was very curious about this magical skill, he did not want to learn it secretly, so he deliberately did not look at the sword manuals, only closed his eyes and concentrated on it, and sat quietly on the futon.
Seeing him like this, the monks couldn't help but feel relieved.
After a while, I suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the door: "Jiu Mozhi, a junior from the Tubo Kingdom, comes to see the senior master."
Immediately, I saw a monk walking in. He was wearing a yellow monk's robe. He was less than fifty years old, clothed in cloth and wearing sandals. His face was full of energy, and there seemed to be a faint precious light flowing, just like a bright jewel, naturally shining.
This Jiumozhi had a very good appearance and was polite and courteous. Even though the monks in Tianlong Temple knew that his purpose of visiting was impure, they all treated him with courtesy.
The two sides were polite for a long time, and then Jiumo sat down on the futon.
At this time, in the main hall, the monks of Tianlong Temple were sitting on the east side, and Jiumozhi was sitting on the west side, facing each other far away. Meng Xiuyuan was sitting on the south side of the main hall, just about the same distance from both sides, to show neutrality.
Jiumozhi has profound martial arts skills and keen senses. He noticed Meng Xiuyuan as soon as he entered the door. While he was talking to the monks of Tianlong Temple, he had been secretly sizing him up.
But compared to Zen Master Kurong, Jiumozhi's meditation skills were a bit impetuous, so after watching it for a long time, he only felt that Meng Xiuyuan was ordinary except that he was younger and more handsome. He didn't have any profound martial arts skills at all, and he didn't have much
Care too much.
On the contrary, it was Abbot Benyin who took the initiative to introduce Meng Xiuyuan to Jiumozhi out of courtesy:
"Please also let King Ming know that this Meng Xiuyuan Meng Shaoxia is a rare hermit master, and he happened to come to my temple today for exchanges.
When King Ming sent the greeting card, Mr. Meng happened to be at the scene, so we invited him to come and watch as a witness."
Jiumozhi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then nodded to Meng Xiuyuan and said "very good", and then he didn't hesitate.
It seems that he was confident in his own kung fu. Since he dared to challenge the monks of Tianlong Temple on his own, he did not take this inexplicable young man seriously.
Immediately, Jiumozhi put his hands together and started talking about the topic:
"The young monk had a close friend in his life, who was from Gusu in the Song Dynasty. His surname was Murong, and his single name was "Bo". In the past, the young monk met him and met him, and they gave lectures on martial arts and swordsmanship.
It's a pity that God is jealous of talented people, so Mr. Murong returned to the West to be in bliss. The young monk has a heartless request, but he also hopes that the elders will be merciful."
When the Tianlong monks heard this, they knew that this was just an excuse, but it was not easy to get angry as soon as it came up, so Abbot Benyin excused himself and replied:
"The interaction between King Ming and Mr. Murong is a matter of fate. Once the fate is over, why force it?
Mr. Murong will be reborn in bliss, worshiping the Buddha in a lotus pond. How can he care about martial arts in the human world?"
Jiumozhi was not angry after hearing this and continued to explain:
"The abbot's advice is indeed the most reasonable.
However, the young monk was stubborn by nature and lacked wisdom. He stayed in seclusion for forty days and could not stop missing his good friend.
When Mr. Murong talked about swordsmanship in the world, he was convinced that the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' of Dali Tianlong Temple was the best among all swords in the world. He regretted not seeing it, which was the biggest regret in his life."
As he spoke, Jiumozhi did not wait for the monks of Tianlong Temple to refuse again, and immediately slapped his hands three times, causing two men outside the door to come in carrying a sandalwood box.
Jiumozhi flicked the sleeves of his robe, and the lid of the box opened without any wind, and what he took out were three old volumes. He flipped them through casually, and Ben Yin and others glanced at them and saw that there were pictures and texts in the volumes, all written by Zhu Mo.
, obviously all are martial arts secrets.
Then, I heard him continue:
"These three volumes of martial arts secrets are handwritten by Mr. Murong, expounding the gist, practice methods, and solutions to the seventy-two stunts of the Shaolin School.
Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, and the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin Temple indeed have unique secrets. These three fingering methods are mutually confirmed with the one-yang finger of the noble school.
The young monk is willing to offer it as a sign of sincerity."
As soon as Jiumozhi said these words, all the five books of Tianlong Temple had something in their hearts.
You know, colleagues are enemies. Although they don't say it with their mouths on weekdays, in fact, they have long been competing with Shaolin Temple, the best temple in the world.
Now that Shaolin's unique skills are in front of us, many distracting thoughts naturally arise.
When Jiumozhi saw this, he immediately struck while the iron was hot and demonstrated these three fingering techniques.
Use your fingertips to pluck flowers with gentle force, and with a gentle smile, use your fingers to pierce clothes in the air.
Doroye's fingers were domineering, and the ten fingers connected quickly. The wooden box containing the books turned into debris on the ground. Even the hinges, steel plates and other metal accessories of the wooden box were shattered under the force of the fingers.
As for the Formless Tribulation Finger, it is invisible and traceless when it is released. Even through the sleeves and robes, it can make wood chips dance on the ground.
Each of the three fingering methods has its own merits, and they are all mysterious.
Meng Xiuyuan watched from the side and couldn't help but nodded in his mind, secretly thinking that this Shaolin stunt was indeed extraordinary.
When the monks such as the original cause and the original view saw it, they couldn't help but feel excited, and even thought of exchanging it.
However, they had no choice but to ask Zen Master Kurong who was sitting facing the wall for instructions:
"Uncle Master, King Ming has come from afar, and his intentions are very sincere. How should we respond, please tell me, Uncle Master."
Unexpectedly, Zen Master Kurong did not answer him after hearing this. Instead, he asked Meng Xiuyuan:
"Benefactor Meng, your martial arts skills are superb, even better than mine.
I wonder what you think of these three Shaolin stunts performed by Maharaja Maharaja?"
Meng Xiuyuan was thinking about the three fingering methods and wanted to analyze the principles, so he was in a daze for a while after hearing the sound.
He had said that he was just watching, so why was he suddenly involved? He couldn't help but secretly thought that Zen Master Kurong was looking at Gujing Wubo, but he was also very thoughtful.
After thinking for a moment, Meng Xiuyuan felt that the reason why Ku Rong behaved like this was because he considered the relationship between Dali and Tubo, and wanted to transfer the conflict to Meng Xiuyuan in advance before Jiumozhi fell out, so as not to cause it to escalate later. It didn’t end well at the national level.
It is definitely inappropriate for him to act suddenly without consulting in advance.
But thinking about it again, this was an opportunity for Tianlong Temple to owe him a favor. Meng Xiuyuan was alone, and he didn't have to worry about the Tubo Kingdom behind Jiumozhi, so he simply smiled cheerfully and said:
“My kung fu is indeed good, but it can only be considered first-rate.
If this can be exchanged for the "Six Meridians Divine Sword", then I would also like to exchange it."
As soon as Meng Xiuyuan said these words, Jiumozhi's face twitched slightly, and it was almost difficult to maintain the posture of this eminent monk from the Western Regions. After taking a deep breath and calming down for a moment, he said to Meng Xiuyuan as kindly as possible:
"Since Mr. Meng has a special skill, why not show it to everyone?"
"OK."
Meng Xiuyuan was delighted when he heard this, and without any pretense, he immediately stretched out his hand and took a small piece of wood on the ground not far away into his palm.
Jiumozhi couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw him showing such a hand, secretly thinking that he had misjudged this young man.
However, he himself knew how to capture dragons, control cranes, and photograph objects from a distance, and he even wanted to speak out.
Unexpectedly, Meng Xiuyuan's actions have just begun.
He pinched the piece of wood and flicked it gently. As it floated, the piece of wood turned into a stream of light and shot straight towards the ground in the center of the hall.
There was a sound of "Carrala", and the hard bluestone floor tile in the middle of the hall was actually scratched with a deep dent about ten feet long. The gravel was flying, and ordinary warriors could not reach this far even if they slashed with a sharp blade. general effect.
When Jiumozhi, Tenryuji Honin, Benxiang and others saw this scene, they were all greatly shocked. They subconsciously frowned, completely losing their calm look just now.
Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly, and before anyone could ask him questions, he spoke first:
"To be honest, I am also quite interested in "Six Meridians Divine Sword".
Unlike King Ming, he wanted to burn it to his old friend, but I wanted to practice it myself and see.
However, if the other party is not willing to exchange martial arts, I will not force it."
While speaking, Meng Xiuyuan turned to Jiumozhi, patted the thick iron sword on his waist, and then said:
"Actually, Mr. Murong wants to see the best swordsmanship in the world. If you burn the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" for him, you may not be able to let him rest under the Nine Springs.
