Chapter 209 Tubo is ready to go, and Dali is ready to strike!
Tubo Kingdom.

"Attack the Song Dynasty? State Master, this..." Hearing that Jiumozhi wanted to attack the Song Dynasty, the Tubo King's face turned pale, and his eyes were full of fear for the Song Dynasty. "The Song Dynasty is such a big country. If we attack it, won't we destroy ourselves?"

The once extremely powerful Tubo Empire had long since collapsed in a series of internal struggles, and the current Qingtang Tubo was actually in a state of fragmentation.

It’s just that the Tibetans believed in the theory of bloodline, so they chose the descendants of Songtsen Gampo as the ruler of Tibet.

In essence, the Tubo King, like the Dali Emperor, is a mascot.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty had been carrying out the vigorous "Xihe Frontier Opening" campaign, constantly encroaching on the territory of Tubo. Although Tubo was angry, it really could not defeat the Song Dynasty.

The Tibetans are not the Jurchens, and they have long lost their martial ethics.

However, because of the existence of Jiumozhi, the Tubo king is not just a mascot.

Jiumozhi's Dalun Temple fully supported the King of Tubo. He used his magical power of flaming sword to terrify Tubo. Not only did he wipe out the Black Sect, but he also struck hard at various Tibetan nobles.

Tubo is a small server without any great masters. Jiumozhi has dominated this place and his power is even greater than that of the king.

With the support of Jiumozhi, the king was able to gain certain real power, but the king did not know how to be grateful and even dared to politely reject Jiumozhi's proposal. Isn't this ungrateful?

It’s not easy to repay the favor loaned to Jiumozhi!

Jiumozhi was angry!

He had only been away from Tubo for a few months, but the king dared not to support him. He was truly an unfaithful and unfilial king. It seemed that he should consider replacing his apprentice, Prince Zongzan, as the king.

"My Lord, you should know that if Tubo does nothing, it will be eaten away by the Song Dynasty step by step. Now is a rare opportunity, how can we miss it?" Jiumozhi said sternly, "The natural saint, Prince Murong, is going to start an uprising in the southeast of the Song Dynasty. The Queen Mother of Western Xia will also send troops from Western Xia, and Dali will also send troops at that time. The four directions will attack the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty will inevitably be in turmoil! If Tubo does nothing during this turbulent time, it will surely perish in the future! My Lord, do you want to be an enemy of the Tubo people?"

"I, I." The king looked unhappy but did not dare to refute.

Jiumozhi looked at the warriors around the king and sneered, "These warriors around the king are unfamiliar. It seems that the king does not trust the protection of the Great Wheel Temple for you. He thinks that these armored warriors can protect you. Little do they know that there are many masters in this world. These armored warriors can deal with ordinary people, but against real masters, they are just farts and add to the jokes."

"It just so happens that I have already learned the Six Meridians Divine Sword, which is the best sword technique in the world. Please appreciate it, my Lord!"

After saying that, Jiumozhi moved all six fingers at the same time, and the Six Meridians Divine Swords were unleashed simultaneously. The sword energy was so powerful that it chopped off the armor of several warriors in front of him and fell to the ground.

It can be considered as helping them take off their armor!

The king was stunned by such miraculous skills and was terrified.

"How?" Jiumozhi asked.

"The state master's skills are unparalleled in the world." The king forced a smile and said, "I will issue an imperial decree to mobilize the whole country."

"Very good. I will call on all departments to join in this great event." Jiumozhi said with a smile.

The king's job is to provide a righteous cause, mobilize the monks of the Dalun Temple, and communicate with the major Tibetan nobles. This task also has to be completed by Jiumozhi.

When he had the flaming sword in his hand, those nobles did not dare to disobey him. Now that he has the Six Meridians Divine Sword in his hand, he can kill gods and Buddhas, and he is powerful and threatening to Tubo.

It’s time for Mahalakshtra to become Mahalakshtra Buddha!
Dali, Tianlong Temple.

Ku Rong looked at Duan Yanqing in front of him.

"Ben Chen, Murong Fu wants to rebel, why bother to get involved? If we had known that he would be so rebellious, our Dali Duan family should not have had anything to do with him." Ku Rong said, "Our Duan family is weak, so we must be extremely cautious. If we send troops to attack Song for Murong Fu, if we are not careful, our Duan family will be wiped out."

Duan Yanqing sneered, "Master Kurong, the reason why our Duan clan is weak is that there are too many people like you. Living in disgrace can certainly protect yourself, but you will also be looked down upon by others. When it is time to fight, you must fight!"

"Murong Fu married a princess and four princesses from Dali. Even if we cut off our relationship with him, the Song Dynasty would have to believe it! Moreover, his Dragon City Chamber of Commerce now has influence throughout Dali. We gave him so many horses and iron ore and collected so much money from him. Now you want to cut ties with us?"

"Besides, is Murong Fu such an easy person to talk to?"

Master Ku Rong looked distressed.

If I had known Murong Fu was like this, I would rather let Jiumozhi snatch the Six Meridians Divine Sword away than owe Murong Fu such a big favor.

It is also said that when Murong Fu fought with Li Xian, he used invisible sword energy, which is suspected to be the Six Meridians Divine Sword. It is possible that Duan Yanqing passed the Six Meridians Divine Sword to Murong Fu.

What is all this about?
"Ben Chen, you are already a monk, why do you need to get involved in these worldly affairs?" Kurong said, "Song Dynasty is such a big country, how can it be so easy to deal with? Murong Fu is trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm, there will be no good result!"

“No need to say more, let’s see what we can do!” Duan Yanqing said grimly, “My Kurong Zen is not weaker than yours, I have also learned three moves of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and the One Yang Finger has reached the second level. The strong should be respected, and only heroes dare to compete for the first place! Tianlong Temple, I have the final say!”

After saying that, Duan Yanqing suddenly pointed at Ku Rong.

It’s the One Finger Zen!

Ku Rong hurriedly defended himself.

The two of them fought back and forth, sometimes the One Yang Finger's energy was as dense as rain, and sometimes the Six Meridians Divine Sword were fired at the same time, as fast as lightning, and they were evenly matched.

When the monks of Tianlong Temple were watching the battle, they were all horrified. They had never expected that Duan Yanqing's martial arts had reached such a level in such a short period of time.

After fighting for three hundred moves, Duan Yanqing's mind became clear. He remembered Murong Fu's metaphor of "wave-particle duality" for martial arts. At this moment, he broke through the shackles and his Ren and Du meridians opened!

The Zen skill of withering and flourishing has reached the highest realm of being both withered and flourishing!
Light is both a wave and a particle.

One thing can give birth to two things.

Withering is flourishing, flourishing is withering.

One person can give birth to two elephants.

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color!
The positive and negative sides of things are one and the same, inseparable, and will constantly transform into each other. This is not a contradiction, but a unity.

Just like the Yin-Yang fish in the Tai Chi diagram, Yin and Yang blend together, you are in me and I am in you, Yin and Yang combine to form Tai Chi!
In an instant, Duan Yanqing dropped the iron crutch in his hand, and his slightly hunched body actually stood up straight. His haggard face became normal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although his skin was still wrinkled, it gave people a sense of vitality.

“Hahaha!” Duan Yanqing laughed, “I’ve achieved enlightenment! Master Murong is truly a martial arts master that is rare in the world. With his guidance, I have reached the pinnacle!”

All the monks were shocked beyond words.

This is not possible.
"The highest realm of Kurong's Zen?" Master Kurong widened his eyes.

"That's right!" Duan Yanqing said, his internal energy surged, and he used the Six Meridians Divine Sword at the same time.

Duan Yanqing naturally knew the secrets of Six Meridians Divine Sword. He only knew one sword technique at the beginning, and later on he walked towards the path of combining good and evil, and learned from Jiumozhi all the way. With various instructions from Murong Fu, he gradually comprehended three ways of Six Meridians Divine Sword.

But now, his Kurong Zen skills have reached perfection, his internal strength has greatly increased, and he can use the Six-Way Six-Meridian Divine Sword immediately.

In fact, the requirements of Six Meridians Divine Sword are lower than those of One Yang Finger. One can get started with the fourth-grade One Yang Finger, but the internal strength required is too deep, and few people in the world can achieve it.

If a person has unprecedented internal strength like Duan Yu, he can learn Six Meridians Divine Sword even if he does not know One Finger of Yang. However, if he does not know One Finger of Yang, he will not be able to use Six Meridians Divine Sword freely, and the phenomenon of Duan Yu's sometimes working and sometimes not working will occur.

Although Kuruo Zen is difficult to practice, its grade is actually on the same level as Yi Jin Jing. Once it is practiced, the internal strength will naturally increase greatly. In addition, Duan Yanqing had learned Six Meridians Divine Sword for half a year and One Yang Finger for decades. At this time, his martial arts mind was clear, so he naturally learned the complete Six Meridians Divine Sword.

"Ah, the Six Meridians Divine Sword!"

"A complete Six Meridians Divine Sword!"

"It's actually the Six Meridians Divine Sword!"

The monks of Tianlong Temple were all speechless.

No one has been able to master the Six Meridians Divine Sword for hundreds of years since its creation. Even Duan family's ancestor Duan Siping has failed to master the Six Meridians Divine Sword. With Master Ku Rong's level of cultivation, he can only barely perform two uses of the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

In this way, Master Kurong has become the Duan family's number one master in a hundred years.

But Duan Yanqing actually mastered the Six Meridians Divine Sword!

At this moment, Duan Yanqing's status in the eyes of everyone in the Duan family of Dali was infinitely elevated!
The Six Meridians Divine Sword is like the imperial seal to the Duan family of Dali. In the original novel, Duan Yu explained his life experience, but Duan Zhengming and the Tianlong Temple still let him be the emperor. It was no longer a secret that Duan Yu knew the Six Meridians Divine Sword at that time. Since he knew the Six Meridians Divine Sword, Duan Yu was the best heir, even though he was the son of Duan Yanqing.

"I surrender!" As soon as Master Kuruo saw the Six Meridians Divine Sword, he knew that he was no match for Duan Yanqing and admitted defeat immediately.

Duan Yanqing retracted his attack. "Hey, Benchen, maybe you are right." Kurong said, "Since you have reached the pinnacle of Zen and learned the Six Meridians Divine Sword, my name Kurong will belong to you! From now on, you are the Kurong Zen Master of the Dali Duan Clan! And you have the final say in Tianlong Temple!"

"I have been stuck in this state for many years. Now I think it may be because I don't have the courage and perseverance to make progress. I have lost my sharpness. Without madness, there is no Buddhahood! If Sakyamuni had not practiced madness for several years, how could he have become a Buddha under the Bodhi tree? I want to practice in seclusion. As for the Duan family, you can do whatever you want!"

"I hope you can give Dali Duan a bright future."

After saying that, Ku Rong stood up and floated away.

At this moment, headed by Abbot Ben Yin, they all kowtowed to Duan Yanqing:

"Disciples and others, greet Master Ku Rong!"

From then on, Duan Yanqing became the new generation of Zen Master Kurong, because he had mastered Kurong Zen to perfection and also learned the Six Meridians Divine Sword. He was the number one master of the Duan family from ancient times to the present.

Duan Yanqing couldn't help but feel fortunate. It seemed that the platform was more important than ability. He followed Murong Fu, and was surrounded by great masters like Murong Fu, people with profound martial arts knowledge like Tianshan Tonglao, and top masters like Li Qiushui and Jiumozhi. The progress he made on such a platform would be a dimensionality reduction strike after he returned to Dali.

If he had not followed Murong Fu, he might not even be able to deal with Duan Zhengming now, let alone Master Kurong. He might even have no idea who his own son was in his entire life.

Murong Fu was really kind to him!
"Send the monk soldiers to the palace!" Duan Yanqing said.

"What? Are you going to usurp the throne?" Abbot Ben Yin was shocked.

"No, I want to urge Duan Zhengming to do what he should do!" Duan Yanqing said.

In the palace.

Duan Zhengming sighed.

After his brother Duan Zhengchun became a eunuch, his temperament changed drastically. It is said that many of his female confidantes gradually distanced themselves from Duan Zhengchun, and even the gentlest Ruan Xingzhu returned to Xiaojing Lake.

They can love Duan Zhengchun spiritually, but women are like wolves at thirty, tigers at forty, and can absorb dirt when sitting on the ground at fifty. There is nothing that can be done about it.

Although the One Finger Zen is exquisite, the fingers are too slender after all, and it is difficult to satisfy a woman!

This incident was a great blow to Duan Zhengchun. Duan Zhengchun now locked himself up in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, refusing to see anyone and not allowing anyone to disclose the news.

What worries Duan Zhengming is that in Duan Zhengchun's current condition, can he still inherit his throne?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard some noise outside the palace, and then a eunuch reported:

"Your Majesty, this is bad. Duan Yanqing has mastered the highest level of Kurong Zen and the Six Meridians Divine Sword, becoming the new generation of Kurong Zen Master!"

"He is coming with thousands of elite monks from the Tianlong Temple to kill us!"

Duan Zhengming was shocked, but he was the king who had ruled a country for decades after all. He was panicked but kept a calm face. He immediately summoned the palace guards and ministers, preparing to talk to Duan Yanqing in person.

It's already terrifying that Duan Yanqing knows the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and it's even more terrifying that he has the support of a thousand monks from the Tianlong Temple.

Duan Zhengming had no choice but to go to negotiate.

He summoned Gao Shengtai, the three dukes, and all civil and military officials.

A moment later, Duan Zhengming saw Duan Yanqing and a huge group of monks outside the palace.

However, Duan Yanqing's face had regained some of its former handsomeness and he no longer needed to use crutches. Duan Yu was trying to persuade Duan Yanqing, telling him the principles in Buddhist scriptures.

However, Duan Yanqing looked at Duan Yu with loving eyes, as if he were his own son.

Duan Zhengming complained in his heart: Duan Yanqing really treats Yu'er as his son, but Yu'er is a descendant of our lineage after all, and he has my brother's blood in his body!

"Senior, congratulations on reaching the highest level of Kuruo Zen and mastering the Six Meridians Divine Sword." Duan Zhengming said, "But you are mobilizing so many troops, are you planning to usurp the throne? If you are interested in becoming the emperor, I am willing to abdicate, as long as my Dali Kingdom does not resort to war."

"This throne originally belonged to me, but I am not here to seize it today. Instead, I am here to advise in the capacity of Zen Master Kurong of Tianlong Temple." Duan Yanqing said calmly.

Duan Zhengming said: "Then there is no need to bring the monk soldiers here!"

"I'm going to use my military force to remonstrate!" Duan Yanqing said.

"."Duan Zhengming was silenced.

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

Gao Shengtai looked at the thousand strong monks of Tianlong Temple with a fear in his heart. Then he knew that Duan Yanqing had mastered the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and a thousand horses were roaring through his mind.

It's so raw!

Dali Kingdom, it’s unbalanced!

"I wonder what Zen Master Kurong has to say?" Gao Shengtai asked on behalf of Duan Zhengming.

"Mr. Murong is the son-in-law of my Dali Duan family. He wants to rebel against the Song Dynasty. My Dali Kingdom must support him and send troops!" Duan Yanqing said, "I have organized the monks of the Tianlong Temple, and the Longcheng Chamber of Commerce has also contacted the thirty-six tribes in eastern Yunnan. All that's left is the emperor and your Gao family's approval!"

"Gao Shengtai, this is a letter from Master Murong. Master Murong's current martial arts skills are like Mount Tai compared to Mount Wuliang. I am just a small Mount Wuliang, while he is Mount Tai, the highest of the Five Mountains!"

"He said that if you don't agree, then the entire Gao family will be killed!"

Duan Yanqing said this murderously and threw the letter to Gao Shengtai.

The letter came quickly and urgently. When Gao Shengtai received it, he felt his body tremble and took several steps back, shocked by Duan Yanqing's internal strength.

Gao Shengtai's martial arts skills are similar to Ye Erniang's, and he can always get the upper hand over Ye Erniang in actual combat. However, Duan Yanqing's martial arts skills have already reached the standard combat power of a top master.

"This..." Gao Shengtai looked at Duan Zhengming with a bitter face.

Duan Zhengming was troubled and asked, "But what if Master Murong fails? The Song Dynasty is a great country, how can it be so easy to overthrow it?"

Duan Yanqing said calmly, "Mr. Murong is the most powerful martial artist in the world, and he has millions of disciples under his command. If he fails, it's very simple. He will bring these millions of disciples to our Dali Kingdom, take over the Dali court as the son-in-law of Dali Kingdom, and temporarily serve as regent. He will be given the Nine Gifts, a crown with ten tassels, a sword and shoes when he enters the palace, and he will not have to bow when entering the court, and he will not have to use his name when praising or bowing."

"Then seek to be crowned a king, and then ascend the throne and become the Emperor of Dali. Given Master Murong's character, he will definitely be arbitrary when he becomes the Emperor of Dali. You should think about this carefully!"

Duan Zhengming and Gao Shengtai stared at each other, wondering whether they should say "Fuck you" or not.

Wow, Murong Fu won and went to Tokyo to be the emperor!
If you lose, come to Dali and be the emperor!
What did he think of Dali? A spare tire? A weak and vulnerable country?
Well, it seems to be true.

Gao Shengtai felt his scalp tingling when he thought of the scene where Murong Fu led hundreds of thousands of troops to Dali after his defeat. He said, "Your Majesty, you should support Murong Fu's four-pronged attack on Song!"

"Okay!" Duan Zhengming sighed, "He is the son-in-law of our Dali Duan family. If we don't support him, who will?"

"I have a second condition!" Duan Yanqing said.

"What conditions?" Duan Zhengming asked, "Senior, please don't go too far!"

"I hope you make Yu'er the crown prince, bypass Duan Zhengchun, and pass the throne directly to Yu'er. Duan Zhengchun is a scoundrel who has been having affairs with other women. His mother came to him and castrated him. How can a eunuch be the emperor of Dali?" Duan Yanqing said, "If you want to abdicate, you can only pass the throne to Yu'er!"

Duan Yu was shocked: What? My father has become my mother?!
Dao Baifeng is still in the Taoist temple and doesn't know about this. However, if she goes to find Duan Zhengchun and finds that Duan Zhengchun has no tools to commit the crime, she will only be sad and surprised: Where is my husband? How did the couple become sisters after so many years?

When everyone heard this, they all looked strange.

This is the first time that this matter has been made public.

When everyone thought about the romantic Prince Duan becoming Eunuch Duan, for some reason, they felt that there was a sense of cause and effect, and retribution.

Duan Zhengming knew that if this matter spread, Duan Zhengchun's reputation would be completely ruined and he would not be able to become emperor. People would not accept a eunuch ruling them.

However, Duan Zhengming was also relieved. After all, Duan Yu was his brother's offspring, and his blood was thicker than water. It was also a good thing that Duan Yanqing liked Duan Yu. With a sudden thought, he said, "I don't want to be the emperor of Dali anymore. I will abdicate in a month and pass the throne to Yu'er."

Duan Yanqing said with a smile on his face: "Very good, Duan Zhengming, a man who knows the times is a hero. I will reserve a good room for you in Tianlong Temple."
