Eternal Sword

Chapter 190 Tiger Roar and Dragon Roar
"He's fine."

Chen Tang said: "This time when he came down the mountain, he told me that if he got into trouble, he should come to the Master's place to take shelter."

Master Liaokong smiled when he heard this and said, "My place is a little shabby and poor, but I'm afraid that Mr. Chen can't stay here."

"nothing."

Chen Tang smiled.

No matter how simple it is, it is not as simple as the one on the snowy mountains.

Chen Tang said: "I got into a big trouble outside. I am very lucky to be taken in by the mage."

Master Liaokong heard this, but he was not curious and did not ask any questions.

Chen Tang was curious and couldn't help asking, "Master, how can there be a Rejuvenating Pill here? How is this kind of pill made?"

Logically speaking, things like the Rejuvenating Pill should fall into the category of cultivating immortals.

Although there are some mysterious arts in this world, they are not so exaggerated and tend to be more low-level martial arts.

There shouldn't be such a thing as an anti-aging pill.

Moreover, the fact that Emperor Wu was able to give this pill to Emperor Xie shows how precious and rare the Rejuvenating Pill is.

When asked about this matter, Master Liaokong remained silent and kept it a secret.

Chen Tang's heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "Master, what was the relationship between the Martial Emperor and the Evil Emperor back then?"

If the Rejuvenating Pill was a rare and precious item, and Emperor Wu gave it to her, then the two of them must have had a good relationship.

Friends, or...

If that's the case, why didn't we hear any news about the Evil Emperor during the turmoil in the capital?
"Please make yourself at your own convenience, Mr. Chen."

Master Liaokong seemed reluctant to mention this matter. After saying this, he took out a rosary from his sleeve, closed his eyes, and recited scriptures silently.

Forget it if you don’t say it.

Chen Tang did not ask any further questions. He stood up and walked around the Xiping Temple.

This ancient temple has only one main hall and a courtyard, with weeds everywhere and spider webs in the corners.

The Buddhist altar was covered in dust. It was not just shabby, it was in a state of disrepair.

There are still some ruins left around, and you can vaguely see traces of the temple in the past.

Even some dilapidated temples in the wilderness are probably much better than this Xiping Temple.

I don’t know how this temple has fallen to this state.

There was no one else except Master Lukong.

Behind this hall, there is a well.

Chen Tang drew some well water and took a few gulps. It tasted sweet.

Chen Tang drank so much that his shirt was soaked, but he didn't care. He looked around and saw an inconspicuous grave.

He had an idea and came closer.

The tomb is quite simple and plain, with only a tombstone with the four words "Emperor Wu Qin Fu" written on it.

It turns out that this is the name of Emperor Wu.

The temple was overgrown with weeds, but the area around the tomb was clean, perhaps because someone had cleaned it.

Master Liaokong?

Even this mage is too lazy to clean the dust and cobwebs in the temple, so would he come to clean the tomb of Emperor Wu?
Chen Tang didn't think much about it. He had been starving for a long time.

The dry food in the bag has been almost eaten.

I searched around the temple but found nothing to eat, and I don't know what Master Kong usually eats.

Although the temple is dilapidated, it is full of vitality, with various small animals running around in the grass.

A wild rabbit hopped to Chen Tang's feet, grabbed some tender grass and stuffed it into its mouth without showing any fear.

A wild fox was hiding in the corner, with half of its head exposed, secretly looking at Chen Tang, its dark eyes full of curiosity.

After all, it is a holy place of Buddhism. Chen Tang resisted the urge to kill these little cuties and eat their meat, and prepared to go down the mountain to hunt some prey.

After leaving the temple, Chen Tang hesitated, as if thinking about something.

With such a big commotion here, I don't know if there are any spies lying in ambush at the foot of Wujiang Mountain.

After all, so many people died.

Or from the Yuwen family, Xuantian Sect, Qinglong Division, Baihu Division, and the major forces in Bingzhou City...

If you are caught at the foot of the mountain because of your greed for food, you will have no one to turn to for help.

Chen Tang pondered for a moment, then walked along the path in the mountains towards the north.

There is also a Xinping Zen Temple to the north.

This is the territory of Buddhism, there are definitely no spies from the various forces of Xuantian Sect.

Even if something unexpected happened, the two temples were not far apart, so he would have a chance to escape.

The most important thing is, there must be food inside Xinping Zen Temple!

Not long after, Chen Tang arrived at the gate of the Zen temple, took off his knife and left it outside, and then entered the temple under the guidance of a young monk.

Chen Tang spent some money to buy some incense in the Zen temple.

After a brief walk in front of the various Buddha statues, at noon, he stopped a young monk and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, little master, where are you having your meal?"

Hearing this, the young monk pointed to the east and said, "The east side of the Mahavira Hall is the dining hall. Donors can go there to eat."

"Thank you."

Chen Tang clasped his hands together, then his eyes lit up and he ran towards that direction with big strides.

The young monk was slightly startled and looked at Chen Tang's back with some confusion.

Among the pilgrims who come and go, some would stay to have a vegetarian meal, but this pilgrim looked like a starving ghost who had been reincarnated.

Chen Tang came to the dining hall and looked at the steaming food that had just come out of the pot in the wooden barrel. He couldn't help swallowing.

During the whole escape, he was in constant fear and had hardly any proper meals. He just ate whatever he could while on horseback.

Although they were just some vegetables and tofu, they tasted like delicacies from the land and the sea.

Chen Tang rolled up his sleeves, picked up his bowl, ignored the monks beside him, and buried his head in his meal.

After practicing Yi Jin to the highest level, Chen Tang's appetite increased greatly.

In addition, these vegetarian meals had little oil, so he finished seven or eight bowls of rice before taking a breath, preparing to slow down and finish a few more bowls.

When Chen Tang looked up, he saw many monks around him looking at him with different expressions.

Some were surprised, some were disgusted, some were angry...

Chen Tang coughed lightly and pretended to be calm.

Under the gaze of many monks, he served another bowl of rice, put some vegetables and tofu on it, then put his hands together in front of the monks, took the bowl of rice and left the dining hall.

"Isn't this person too greedy?"

"After all, I paid the incense money, so it's okay to eat some vegetarian food."

"But he seemed to have taken away another bowl just now..."

"That's too much. You have to carry it with you even if you can't finish it!"

After Chen Tang left the dining hall with his bowl of rice, he quickly left the Zen temple.

Come to the mountain gate and retrieve the sword.

Under the surprised gazes of the two little monks, he floated away.

Back at Xiping Temple, Chen Tang handed the wooden bowl filled with food to Master Kong and said, "Master, I packed a bowl of rice for you."

"Rice bowl?"

Master Liaokong looked at the wooden bowl in front of him, a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he suddenly realized and smiled, "Donor Chen is thoughtful."

Master Liaokong picked up the wooden bowl, picked up the bamboo chopsticks, and ate in small bites.

He ate very slowly, as if he was savoring the food carefully.

After a long time, Master Liaokong finally finished eating. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I haven't had a vegetarian meal for a long time. Thank you, Mr. Chen."

"Don't the monks over there bring food to the master?"

Chen Tang said: "Don't worry, I will bring you food every day from now on!"

"That's not necessary."

Master Liaokong shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Chen, just finish eating it yourself."

"It's okay, you're welcome, Master."

After Chen Tang said this, he left the hall and went to the yard to breathe and practice.

In fact, Chen Tang brought food to Master Kong, and he also had his own little thoughts.

First of all, this Master Liaokong was acquainted with Emperor Wu, so they were obviously old friends.

Secondly, Master Liaokong is probably also an expert. If I can get some advice from this expert, I will definitely gain a lot.

For the following period of time, Chen Tang had two meals a day at Xinping Zen Temple.

However, his appetite was too big, which made many monks dissatisfied.

Therefore, in addition to the Tiger-Subduing Young Hero and the Panda Swordsman, Chen Tang got a few more nicknames in the Xinping Temple.

A glutton swordsman.

Freeloaders...

It’s just that Chen Tang came every day to buy some incense and the many monks didn’t dare to say anything openly.

Later, the head monk of the Zen temple couldn't stand it anymore and was ready to stand up and talk to Chen Tang.

After all, Chen Tang's big appetite added a lot of burden to him. He had to cook a lot of extra food every day, otherwise the other monks would not have enough to eat.

Chen Tang took out the one hundred taels of silver notes he had prepared in advance, and the leader of the monks immediately calmed down.

It’s great to have money, just treat it as a card.

Chen Tang thought so.

However, my reputation is getting worse and worse. I don’t know when I can make a name for myself…

……

half a month later.

On this day, Chen Tang was practicing in the temple. As he breathed in and out, he heard the roars of dragons and tigers in his body, stirring his bones.

Reborn, strengthen your muscles and marrow.

Among them, the bone marrow is in the bones, and it is difficult to cultivate to this level.

If you want to stimulate the power in your bone marrow, you need to use special methods!
The method taught by Emperor Wu is based on the Subduing Tiger Skill and Capturing Dragon Skill. With the help of breathing techniques, the sounds of tiger roars and dragon roars are produced in the body to vibrate the bone marrow and stimulate the vitality in the bone marrow!
In half a month, Chen Tang had reached the sixth level.

But if you want to go further, you need years of hard practice.

At the sixth level, which means the ultimate in marrow cutting, the bone marrow can be cultivated to be as white as frost, without a trace of impurities, thus completely stimulating the power of the bone marrow.

If one could cultivate to the sixth level, additional changes would occur.

That's blood transfusion!

The sixth level is the ultimate state, where the marrow is cut and the blood is replaced.

Chen Tang is still far from that step.

After entering the sixth level, Chen Tang clearly felt that his cultivation speed had slowed down.

I use the roars of tigers and dragons to shake my bone marrow every day, but the improvement is not obvious.

These days, Master Liaokong sat in the main hall without giving him any instructions.

This made him quite distressed.

In my previous life, I packed lunches for my roommates in the school dormitory, and they were all moved to tears.

This wizard didn't show any reaction at all...

In the past half month, in addition to the improvement in realm, other skills have also been improved.

For example, Chen Tang has cultivated the Burning Wood Sword to the fourth level, and can slash out thirty-six times in one breath!

"Begonia."

At this moment, a soft call came from outside, and it sounded like Lu Qing.

"At this."

Chen Tang arrived at the gate of the temple and waved to Lu Qing who was looking suspicious in the distance.

When Lu Qing saw Chen Tang, he smiled and ran over quickly, saying, "I've been looking here for a long time but didn't dare to go in. I wonder if this is called a temple..."

"Ha ha!"

Chen Tang laughed loudly and said, "Why are you still calling me Haitang? Call me Chen Tang."

Lu Qing said: "Got it, Chen Haitang."

Chen Tang: “…”

"I'm used to it." Lu Qing muttered.

Chen Tang brought Lu Qing to pay homage to Master Kong.

Master Liaokong just nodded slightly and said nothing, but looked at Chen Tang with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Chen Tang didn't quite understand.

The two of them came to the temple and started chatting casually.

During this period, there was no one around the two of them to talk to, and they were both feeling very depressed.

Chen Tang watches over an old monk who sits in meditation and worships Buddha every day.

Lu Qing couldn't even chat with the Evil Emperor who had a weird temperament and erratic moods.

Chen Tang asked, "Is your aunt nice to you?"

"good."

Lu Qing nodded and said, "I'm just a little scared every day, afraid of offending her."

"what happened?"

Seeing a hint of worry between Lu Qing's brows, Chen Tang asked.

Lu Qing said: "There is no news about my father and mother. Their whereabouts are unknown. I don't know how they are doing now."

"how do you know?"

Chen Tang asked, "Did your aunt tell you this after she went down the mountain to investigate?"

Lu Qing shook his head and said, "My uncle came back a few days ago and told me the news about my father and mother. My father was kidnapped by a mysterious old man, and my mother was seriously injured and fell off a waterfall. I don't know if she is alive or dead."

"Auspicious people have their own destiny."

Chen Tang consoled him: "They must be fine."

The two walked and talked in the temple, and before they knew it, they came to the backyard.

After seeing the tombstone of Emperor Wu, Lu Qing was slightly startled. After thinking for a while, he came to the tombstone and knelt on the ground. He kowtowed three times to the tombstone of Emperor Wu, put his hands together, and said softly: "Please, Grandpa, protect my parents so that they can escape danger and turn danger into safety."

Chen Tang was silent.

In fact, a thought flashed through his mind, and he wanted to tell Lu Qing the news about Emperor Wu.

After all, Lu Qing is the granddaughter of Emperor Wu.

But he remembered that Emperor Wu had once warned him not to reveal any information about himself.

Chen Tang gave up the idea.

The two chatted together for most of the day, and Lu Qing's worries were alleviated a lot.

When night fell, Lu Qing said, "I have to go back. This time I sneaked out to find you while my aunt is away. I can't let my aunt find me."

"how?"

Seeing that Lu Qing was hesitant to speak, Chen Tang couldn't help but ask.

Lu Qing sighed and whispered, "I heard from my uncle that when my father and mother were together, my aunt was furious. It was she who cut off my father's arm!"

"what!"

Chen Tang was shocked.

Lu Qing said: "Later, my mother and father left the valley and hid outside. It was not until I was born and grew up that my mother took me back."

"Unfortunately, after only a few days, my mother was driven away again."

Chen Tang asked again: "Why was your father with her in the first place?"

Lu Qing said: "I heard from my uncle that my aunt asked a master to go to the capital to rescue my father. After handing him over to my aunt, he has been keeping my father by his side ever since."

"It's just that she never taught my father martial arts."

Chen Tang was secretly shocked.

This evil emperor is indeed evil.

The master that Lu Qing was talking about should be Feng Xuyu.

After the Evil Emperor asked Feng Xuyu to rescue the descendant of Emperor Wu, he became furious because the descendant of Emperor Wu was with his disciples, and even cut off one of the descendant's arms...

This person's behavior is really unreasonable.

Chen Tang suddenly shuddered!
He vaguely realized why the Evil Emperor had attacked him before!
The Evil Emperor probably developed murderous intent because he saw him and Lu Qing being together and quite close.

Thinking of this, Chen Tang said: "You'd better leave quickly. If there is nothing else, we should see each other less often. I'm afraid your aunt will misunderstand..."

Lu Qing began to grind his teeth.
