Sword from Songshan

Chapter 121 Fusion
"Nine Yang Magic Skill..."

Master Jin Guang and Taoist Song Wen looked at each other, and there was a hint of shock in their eyes.

A hundred years ago, Zhang Wuji suddenly appeared in the world and defeated the six major sects in Guangmingding, in large part because of his reliance on the Nine Yang Divine Art.

Compared to the Nine Yin Scriptures, the Nine Yang is less well known.

After Zhang Wuji retired, he disappeared from the martial arts world.

A hundred years later, only a few people still know the name of this magical skill.

The Nine Yang Divine Art has been lost, but the Emei Nine Yang Art still exists.

The elders in the sect recounted the history of Emei, mentioned the siege of Guangmingding by the six major sects, and praised the Nine Yang Divine Art highly.

It was really surprising that Lu Nanxing, a disciple of Songshan Sect, knew the Nine Yang Divine Art.

I went all the way to Emei Mountain to talk about this magical skill. Is it just hearsay?
Turning to Lu Nanxing again, Master Jin Guang spoke, but instead of answering, he asked back.

"Why did the Fifth Guardian mention this skill and come to Emei Mountain specially? What's the reason?"

"I dare not deceive you, Master. Some time ago, I accidentally got the Nine Yang Manual."

"what!"

Master Jin Guang, who had a calm expression just now, suddenly changed his expression and almost stood up from his seat.

As the head of a sect, he should have remained calm even when faced with a huge crisis, but that was the Nine Yang Divine Art, how could he not be excited?

The reason why Zhang Wuji was invincible in the world was because he practiced the Nine Yang Divine Art.

Looking at the current martial arts world, the only one that can rival the Nine Yang Divine Art is the Shaolin Yi Jin Jing.

Even if one only partially mastered the Emei Nine Yang Gong, it is still the highest internal skill of the Emei Sect and only the Sect Master can learn it!

If Lu Nanxing obtains the Nine Yang Manual, then that means he has obtained the complete Nine Yang Divine Art.

"Wu Taibao! Where did you get the Nine Yang Manual?"

Trying his best to suppress his excitement, Master Jin Guang asked quickly.

"Kunlun Mountains."

Lu Nanxing did not hesitate and directly told the story of finding the scriptures in Kunlun.

Of course, there have been changes.

Change the special search into a chance encounter.

"The Five Guardians actually had such an adventure!"

Upon hearing about the place where Zhang Wuji had buried the scriptures, Master Jin Guang could hardly conceal his envy.

He thought to himself, no wonder Lu Nanxing was so famous at such a young age, it turned out that he had obtained the Nine Yang Manual that Zhang Wuji had buried.

Lin Pingzhi stood behind Lu Nanxing with a confused look on his face.

What is Nine Yang Divine Art? Isn’t the one Master practicing the Twelve Circulation Qigong?

"Oh~!"

Lu Nanxing suddenly let out another long sigh, his face full of regret.

"What is the Fifth Guardian doing..."

Master Jin Guang was stunned. He was just talking about getting a treasure, but why did he look like this?

Lu Nanxing beat his chest and stamped his feet, putting on an exaggerated performance.

"The Nine Yang Divine Art is the best in the world, but I only got some fragments!"

"what?"

"Fragments!"

Master Jin Guang and Taoist Song Wen opened their eyes wide, also looking stunned.

Then he came to his senses, frowned, and his eyes dimmed.

It turned out to be a fragment.

"After a hundred years, the mud and water have seeped in, and most of the scriptures have rotted away. Although I tried my best, I could only copy down less than a thousand words."

"What a shame! What a pity!"

Master Jin Guang shook his head repeatedly, feeling deeply saddened.

It was not until a moment later that he calmed down, looked at Lu Nanxing again, and frowned slightly.

"Why did the Fifth Guard come all the way here to bring up this matter?"

“Although it only contains less than a thousand words, I have benefited greatly from it and feel that the Nine Yang Divine Art is extremely profound.”

"Well, that's true."

"If I can't master this magical skill, I will be restless. I have been looking for information about the Nine Yang Magic Skill everywhere, but unfortunately, there are only a few people in the world who know about this magical skill."

Lu Nanxing sighed, then suddenly perked up again, looking at Master Jin Guang with burning eyes.

"Until a while ago, I accidentally heard that the founder of the Emei Sect, the female knight Guo Xiang, had obtained part of the Nine Yang Manual."

"Ok?"

Master Jin Guang's face darkened and he became alert instantly.

"Could it be that the Fifth Protector is coveting my Emei Nine Yang Gong?"

"Emei Nine Yang Gong?"

Lu Nanxing pretended that he had just heard it and his face was full of excitement again.

"As expected, the Emei Sect also has the Nine Yang Manual!"

"Five Great Guardians!"

Master Jin Guang gave a cold shout and interrupted directly.

"Emei Nine Yang Gong is the highest treasure of our sect, and it can only be passed on to the sect leader. If you come to Emei to play, we will definitely do our best to be a good host. If you want to take my Nine Yang Gong, please go back."

"Master, why do you have to be so decisive?"

Lu Nanxing smiled, then his expression suddenly became serious and he spoke in a deep voice.

"My intention is to exchange with your sect!"

"exchange?"

"Not bad!"

Lu Nanxing nodded without beating around the bush.

"I will exchange the fragments I obtained for the Emei Nine Yang Art. Or, our two families can verify each other's works. Maybe we can piece together and deduce the complete Nine Yang Magical Art!"

"The complete...Nine Yang Divine Art."

Hearing these words, Master Jin Guang gradually opened his eyes wide and looked excited.

As the head of a sect, who doesn't want to develop and prosper the sect?

The Emei Sect was originally a first-rate sect, but now that it has been passed down to him, it has fallen to second-rate. Not to mention being on par with Shaolin and Wudang, it is also much inferior to the Five Mountains, Qingcheng and other sects.

Now, the only thing that the Emei Sect can show off is its historical origins and profound heritage.

If there is a complete version of the Nine Yang Divine Art, if one can master the Nine Yang Divine Art.

Master Jin Guang looked at Lu Nanxing with an increasingly scorching gaze.

"Master Brother! No!"

Taoist Songwen suddenly spoke and shouted loudly.

"Nine Yang Gong is the secret of our sect. How can I reveal it to others?"

“This… is indeed the case.”

"Haha, Taoist Songwen is a little too conservative."

Lu Nanxing chuckled twice and then looked serious again.

"The martial arts world is constantly evolving. If you still stick to those old dogmas, you will only be eliminated and end up in a miserable end!"

"Not bad!"

Master Jin Guang nodded and agreed with it deeply.

The reason why the Emei Sect cannot regain its former glory is that it has too many rules!

"Even so."

Taoist Songwen frowned and questioned again.

"With empty words, how can you prove that you really have the fragments of the Nine Yang Manual, and not that you are deliberately lying to deceive me because you covet my Emei Nine Yang Skill?"

Master Jin Guang, who had been very excited just now, immediately became alert.

Yes, the Nine Yang Magic Skill has been extinct for a hundred years, how could it be such a coincidence that Lu Nanxing came across it casually? The place where Zhang Wuji buried the scriptures sounded fake.

If he were Zhang Wuji, he would never bury such magical skills and leave them to future generations.

"Let him be strong as he pleases, the breeze blows over the hills. Let him be arrogant as he pleases, the bright moon shines over the river. Let him be cruel and evil as he pleases, I have enough energy."

“…This is it!” Upon hearing these verses, Master Jin Guang and Taoist Song Wen both looked stern.

There are indeed similar scriptures in the Emei Nine Yang Gong!

If Lu Nanxing had not read the Nine Yang Manual, he would never be able to tell it.

Taoist Song Wen was not the head of the sect and had no qualifications to look through the Emei Nine Yang Gong, but as a first-rate master, he could also hear that these verses were extremely profound and were by no means something that could be made up casually.

"It turned out to be true."

Master Jin Guang looked at Lu Nanxing with surprise on his face.

Lu Nanxing actually had such an adventure and discovered the Nine Yang Manual buried by Zhang Wuji.

After hearing a few verses from Lu Nanxing, he became more and more eager to learn about the other scriptures he knew.

But if he wanted to exchange it for the Emei Nine Yang Gong, after all, it was the secret of Emei that was not passed down, so Master Jin Guang couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"The scenery of Mount Emei is very beautiful. I will spend a day there."

Lu Nanxing continued with a smile.

"Master, please reply to me tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Master Jin Guang nodded immediately, then called his disciples and arranged for Lu Nanxing to stay in Emei.

As soon as the two of them left, Master Jin Guang immediately ordered people to invite the other abbots and temple masters of Emei to discuss the matter together.

After hearing about exchanging the Emei Nine Yang Gong for the remaining scroll of the Nine Yang Manual, everyone was surprised and had different opinions on the specific discussion.

Some people think that the competition in the martial arts world today is fierce, and that it is time to abandon sectarianism. It would be a good thing if Emei could be revived!
But some people also think that passing on the martial arts left by the founder to others is an act of betrayal and destruction of the ancestors.

In this small side hall, the people of Emei were arguing for a while.

At night, Lu Nanxing lay on the bed with a slight smile on his lips.

He was certain that Master Jin Guang would agree!

During the day, Master Jin Guang's expression had already told him the answer.

"Please follow me, Wu Taibao."

The next morning, just after breakfast, an Emei disciple came to invite Lu Nanxing.

Lu Nanxing didn't ask any more questions and followed him to a quiet room.

The room is not big, with no windows on all sides except for a small door.

Inside was a low table with an oil lamp, writing brushes, ink, and paper. There were only two cushions, and Master Jinguang sat on one of them.

When he saw Lu Nanxing come in, he smiled and gestured for him to come in.

"This……"

Lu Nanxing took a look and although he understood what they were doing, it was really weird to see two men in the same room like this.

"Let's get started!"

Master Jin Guang couldn't wait any longer and looked at Lu Nanxing eagerly.

"Ok."

Lu Nanxing smiled bitterly and nodded, then sat down on another cushion.

The Emei disciples closed the door and waited outside, not allowing anyone to approach.

Next, Lu Nanxing used the fragments of the Nine Yang Manual that he had obtained, and Master Jin Guang used the Emei Nine Yang Gong, and the two verified and deduced from each other.

Devoting themselves to the Nine Yang Gong, the two did not go out for several days, and their three meals a day were delivered to them by the Emei disciples.

As for convenience, there is a toilet in the corner of the quiet room, which will be changed every day.

"This is the only way."

Lu Nanxing let out a long sigh, a look of joy on his face.

When Monk Jueyuan was reciting the sutra, Guo Xiang, Zhang Junbao, and Zen Master Wu Se each memorized a part of it and gained some insights from it. Guo Xiang had a profound family background in learning, so he was able to gain a broad understanding.

During these days, Lu Nanxing studied hard and finally integrated the "Broadness" of Emei Nine Yang Gong into his Songyang Nine Yang Gong.

But if one wants to completely integrate the two Nine Yang Arts, obtain a higher level of mental method, or even a complete version of the Nine Yang Divine Art, it is impossible.

The Nine Yang Skills of Shaolin, Emei and Wudang each have their own characteristics. If all are collected, it should be possible to deduce the complete Nine Yang Skill.

It was for this reason that Zhang Sanfeng took Zhang Wuji to learn the Nine Yang Gong from the other two families.

But this is only possible in theory.

It is easy to disassemble a magical skill, but it is extremely difficult to reassemble it to its original level.

A martial arts genius like Zhang Sanfeng only appears once in a thousand years. How can ordinary people compare to him?

With Lu Nanxing's current martial arts attainments, he could only achieve this level, and only take the "Broad" of Emei Nine Yang Gong.

"also."

Although it is impossible to completely integrate the Nine Yang Kung Fu of Songyang and Emei, but with its "Broad" nature, it can incorporate Lu Nanxing's other mental methods.

Previously, Lu Nanxing had incorporated the healing properties of Zixia Magic Art into Songyang Nine Yang Art, but his technique was simple and crude, and the effect was somewhat compromised.

Now taking the Emei Nine Yang Gong as a reference, it not only perfectly integrates the healing properties of the Zixia Divine Art, but is even better!
Learning from many strengths and embracing all, Lu Nanxing then incorporated the techniques gained from opening up the extraordinary meridians, such as Gangqi, moving the acupoints, and nourishing the flesh, blood, and soul with true qi.

"It's still a little worse."

Now, all the mental methods have been integrated into one, which can be regarded as a new internal skill.

But just like cooking, simply throwing all kinds of ingredients into a pot and cooking them can only be considered a hodgepodge.

Although the taste is good, it is not up to standard.

Only by slow cooking over low heat can the original flavors of all the ingredients be brought out, and the ingredients complement each other with distinct layers, to become a top-notch Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

In other words, this new internal skill is only in its infancy.

It still takes time to polish it before it can become a magical skill!
More haste makes waste. Understanding this truth, Lu Nanxing is not in a hurry.

"Oh~!"

Looking at Master Jin Guang beside him, Lu Nanxing suddenly let out a long sigh.

"What happened to Wu Taibao?"

After getting the Nine Yang Fragments from Lu Nanxing, Master Jin Guang was greatly inspired and his Emei Nine Yang Gong improved a lot. Suddenly he heard Lu Nanxing sigh and turned his head.

"But what's wrong?"

“It’s not wrong, but it’s a pity.”

"What a pity? What a pity."

"It's a pity that even if we add our Nine Yang Arts together, we still can't restore the complete Nine Yang Magical Art."

"really."

Master Jin Guang frowned, feeling it was a pity.

Although I have gained a lot, it is still far from the real Nine Yang Divine Art.

After all, Lu Nanxing's fragment contained less than a thousand words, and some of it overlapped with the Emei Nine Yang Gong.

It is still a long way from being a complete Nine Yang Divine Art.

“If I can obtain the Shaolin and Wudang Nine Yang Kung Fu, I will definitely be able to restore the true Nine Yang Magic Kung Fu!”

Lu Nanxing suddenly said, with an extremely deep expression.

"That being said, this is easier said than done."

Master Jin Guang shook his head helplessly. He had thought about this before.

"It is difficult to break down the prejudices between the three sects. If the three sects could merge, they would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"

"Things are different now. Although Shaolin and Wudang are still the leaders of the martial arts world, they are already on the decline. They may not want to integrate the Nine Yang Magic Skill."

"but."

Master Jin Guang still had some concerns and frowned for a while before speaking.

"Emei, Shaolin, and Wudang have had very little contact in recent years. I'm afraid they may not give us this favor."

"Come to think of it, I do have some connections with Shaolin and Wudang."

"What the Five Guardians mean is..."

Master Jin Guang was excited and said quickly.

"If the Five Guardians can persuade both factions, that would be great!"

"For the sake of the Nine Yang Divine Art, I will try my best!"

Lu Nanxing nodded and continued.

"Time waits for no one. I heard that Shaolin Master Fangzheng and Wudang Taoist Master Chongxu are having a gathering soon. Why don't we go there now?"
