Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

Chapter 210 9 Yang Sutra

"Master, there's no need for such formality. It's all just my duty, and besides, I'm here on my master's orders. You're being too polite."

Duan Zhengchun smiled and hurriedly reached out to help the middle-aged monk up, but just as he touched the monk's arms, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows!

This middle-aged monk was actually a hidden master! His skill was even more profound than that of the two eminent monks, Wuse and Wuxiang!

However, when Shaolin Temple encountered a great calamity today, Duan Zhengchun did not see this person present!

"May I ask what your Dharma name is, Master?"

Duan Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but ask another question.

The middle-aged monk seemed to realize something, immediately stood up, withdrew his hands, and slowly said, "My Buddhist name is Jueyuan."

Duan Zhengchun frowned slightly, silently reciting the Dharma name "Jueyuan" in his heart, feeling puzzled, because this person's Dharma name was neither of the "Tian" generation nor of the "Wu" generation.

However, he did not pursue the matter further, because these things were none of his business, and he did not want to investigate any secrets that had nothing to do with him.

Monk Jueyuan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Duan Zhengchun who was smiling and examining Zhang Junbao, and slowly turned around and walked into the doorway to the side.

Not long after, the monk Jueyuan came out again, holding a scroll of scriptures wrapped in yellow cloth, and slowly handed it to Duan Zhengchun.

"Master, what do you mean?"

Duan Zhengchun raised an eyebrow and asked, puzzled.

Monk Jueyuan said softly, "Benefactor Yin has relieved Shaolin's predicament, and Shaolin Temple should show its appreciation. This scripture is profound and extensive. This humble monk can lend it to Benefactor Yin for three days to study. You may return it after three days."

Duan Zhengchun looked at the monk Jueyuan with suspicion. He wanted to refuse, but seeing how serious the other party was, he had no choice but to reach out and take it.

"Thank you."

Seeing that Duan Zhengchun had accepted the scriptures, Monk Jueyuan smiled and bowed. He then walked to Zhang Junbao's side and said in a low voice, "It's getting late, we should rest. Let's carve it again tomorrow."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Junbao followed the monk Jueyuan and slowly left.

Duan Zhengchun was suspicious. He looked up and examined the tall building in front of him, and then his expression changed.

Only then did he realize that he was in front of the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Repository.

The monk named Jueyuan who just spoke was specifically in charge of looking after the Sutra Repository.

Thinking of this, Duan Zhengchun suddenly understood something, and immediately opened the yellow cloth covering the scriptures, carefully examining the scriptures in his hands.

"Lankavatara Sutra?"

On the cover of the sutra, three large characters were neatly written, but Duan Zhengchun did not know what was recorded in this sutra called the Lankavatara Sutra, because he was not familiar with the martial arts of Shaolin Temple.

So Duan Zhengchun returned to his residence, carefully and attentively perusing the book by the moonlight, and before he knew it, he was completely absorbed in it.

What attracted him was not the Lankavatara Sutra itself, but another sutra called the Nine Yang True Scripture, which was sandwiched inside the Lankavatara Sutra!

"Let him be strong as he pleases, the gentle breeze sweeps across the hills. Let him be tyrannical as he pleases, the bright moon shines across the river. Let him be cruel and evil as he pleases, I will be filled with my own true energy."

Upon reaching a particularly profound point, Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but murmur and recite the poem to himself.

To his surprise, he discovered that this Nine Yang Manual actually complemented his Nine Yin Manual, and even made up for all the shortcomings of the Nine Yin Manual. It seemed that the two manuals were like mother and child chapters distributed one above the other!

Originally, Duan Zhengchun only planned to stay at Shaolin Temple for one day, but after obtaining the Nine Yang Manual, he directly informed Zen Master Tianming and then stayed at Shaolin Temple.

He did not mention the Nine Yang Manual to Zen Master Tianming, because he had subtly inquired and found that Zen Master Tianming was unaware of Jueyuan's borrowing of it.

Since that's the case, he didn't want to reveal the truth, nor did he intend to ask Jueyuan about the hidden reasons.

...

The following night.

Duan Zhengchun, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was sharp, and he looked refreshed, as if he had become several years younger.

Duan Zhengchun slowly exhaled, looked down at his hands, and felt a strange excitement rising in his heart. At this moment, he felt an incomparably pure true energy flowing through his body's eight extraordinary meridians, which actually fused his innate true energy, the power of the Yi Jin Jing, and the internal force of the Nine Yin Manual into one!

In just one day, his skills reached a new level once again!

"You've finally finished your practice! I almost thought you were going to suffer a qi deviation!"

Just then, Xiaolongnu, who was sitting at the table, quickly walked over and carefully examined Duan Zhengchun after he finished his practice.

Since greeting Zen Master Tianming early this morning, Duan Zhengchun has neither eaten nor drunk anything, and has been practicing his martial arts on his bed until now.

"Not only did I not suffer from qi deviation, but my power actually increased dramatically again. It is truly a miraculous book!"

Duan Zhengchun said happily, and carefully picked up the Nine Yang Manual that was on his lap.

Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Xiaolongnu couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. However, she quickly noticed the change in Duan Zhengchun's expression and aura, and was immediately even more shocked.

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said nothing more. He gently patted the bed and landed lightly on the ground. He then put the Nine Yang Manual back into the Lankavatara Sutra and walked straight out.

Just after Duan Zhengchun pushed open the door and left, Xiaolongnu was surprised to find two deep footprints left where Duan Zhengchun had just stood!

Those were marks easily left by internal force alone!

Duan Zhengchun took the Lankavatara Sutra to the monk Jueyuan's residence and gently knocked on the door.

Not long after, footsteps came from inside. Monk Jueyuan, wearing a monk's robe, slowly opened the door. He frowned as he looked at Duan Zhengchun, who had come in the middle of the night.

"Is there something you don't understand that you need this humble monk to explain?"

Duan Zhengchun smiled and shook his head, presenting the Lankavatara Sutra with both hands, and said sincerely, "Thank you for the generous gift. Now I return it to its rightful owner."

Monk Jueyuan paused for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Didn't we agree on three days? There's no rush."

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said, "One day is enough."

Upon hearing this, Monk Jueyuan was utterly shocked and asked, "Could it be that Benefactor Yin has already read it all?!"

Duan Zhengchun nodded and said, "Although it is a bit profound, it is not too difficult. Moreover, I have already memorized it. I just need to gradually integrate it in the future."

Monk Jueyuan slowly reached out and took the scripture, staring incredulously at Duan Zhengchun, who had already turned and left. The shock in his heart lingered for a long time.

He never imagined that Duan Zhengchun would learn the Nine Yang Manual in just one day!

The next morning, Duan Zhengchun bid farewell to Zen Master Tianming and left Shaolin Temple with Xiaolongnu, heading straight for Qixia Mountain.

At the same time, he had also instructed the Qingyi Guards to notify Lu Wushuang and the others who remained in Xiangyang to return to Qixia Mountain together.

During the following period, Duan Zhengchun stayed on the mountain and devoted himself to cultivation. He not only mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill, but also finally comprehended the general outline of the Nine Yin Manual, which had been progressing slowly.

He has already mastered both the Innate Skill and the Yi Jin Jing to the ninth level, and is about to break through to the highest level!

...

After one month.

Inside the Cloud and Rain Pavilion, Duan Zhengchun sat facing the women, each with a joyful expression on their faces, celebrating Duan Zhengchun's successful completion of his seclusion.

For the past month, Duan Zhengchun had not touched anyone and had been secluded in a secret room in seclusion. Today, he finally emerged from seclusion.

Seemingly because they had been neglected for a whole month, several women tried every means to curry favor with Duan Zhengchun, all seemingly vying for a spot tonight.

Surrounded by beauties, Duan Zhengchun smiled, slowly raised his wine cup, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, then closed his eyes in enjoyment.

For the past month, he hasn't touched a woman or even a drop of alcohol.

However, at that moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came, and then a guard in blue robes rushed in.

"Sect Master, urgent report from the border!"

As the guard in blue robes reported, he bowed and presented a secret report with both hands.

"Read!"

Duan Zhengchun frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

Lu Wushuang, who was closest to the door, quickly stepped forward, took the secret report, and opened it to read it.

"The Mongol army has attacked Fancheng!"

Upon hearing Lu Wushuang's words, everyone present was stunned. The smiles on their faces vanished instantly, and they all turned to look at Duan Zhengchun...
