The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards

Chapter 114: Sanskrit Outline
Normally, this place should be guarded by the woodcutter who loves to sing, but for some reason the scholar was appointed instead.

Gu Ping'an heard a hint of anger in his words and immediately guessed where his anger came from.

"Greetings, Senior Zhu!"

"Young man, you are of the same generation as Gang Leader Hong's disciples. You are no junior to me. Just call me Senior Brother."

The fisherman, woodcutter, farmer and scholar are all in their forties, but they are disciples of Lord Duan, and are equally famous as the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggar. As brothers, the four of them should naturally be of the same generation as Guo Jing.

The scholar Zhu Ziliu was a top scholar in Dali. He was well-read in the writings of ancient sages and attached great importance to matters of seniority.

Although he was dissatisfied with Hong Qigong and his team because of his healing, he was unwilling to take advantage of them.

Dian Cang Yuyin had just dragged the iron boat to the shore when he slapped his forehead and spoke with a somewhat apologetic tone.

"Just now, I didn't react for a moment and called Young Master Gu 'Senior' several times. I hope I'm sorry for the offense."

Seeing Gu Ping'an just smile and pass by without taking it seriously, he felt a little more favorable towards him.

"By the way, I didn't fire any warning arrows just now. How did Junior Brother know that we were coming up the mountain?"

"I didn't mean to come here to greet you."

Zhu Ziliu glanced at Gu Ping'an and sighed softly.

"Master intends to heal Gang Leader Hong's injuries and has ordered me to come and call back a few brothers to protect him."

"Healing?!"

Dian Cang Yuyin had not noticed that Hong Qigong was injured before, and when he heard it, he was immediately shocked.

"Boss Hong knows Master very well."

He looked angry, but was interrupted by Zhu Ziliu.

"Senior Brother Wu and the others have already gone back. Let's go up the mountain first."

The three of them walked around the fountain pond and came to a cliff. The cliff was steep and there was nowhere to stand. There was only a long vine as thick as an arm climbing up the peak.

"Young Master Gu, please."

Zhu Ziliu pointed at the thick vine and raised his hand to make a "please" gesture.

Gu Ping'an nodded slightly, gathered his strength, and leaped up.

The leap was several feet long. He grabbed the vine with one hand and pushed his feet against the cliff. His whole body was parallel to the ground.

This young man has great martial arts skills!
The two people below looked at it in surprise and said something inwardly.

The peak was dozens of feet high, so even when they climbed up, they had to hold the long vines tightly with their legs and climb with their arms alternately.

But Gu Ping'an relied on one hand to hold the vine for support and walked up with his back flat. He walked on this almost vertical cliff as if it were flat ground, and disappeared in the clouds in a few breaths.

His steps were fast and steady, and the vine didn't shake at all, so it was obvious that he wasn't struggling at all.

[Showcasing his exceptional Qing Gong skills, he shocked Dian Cang Yu Yin and Zhu Zi Liu. Successfully displayed his divine power before the crowd, earning him 200 Jianghu Reputation points.]

Reputation level remains unchanged: Far-reaching reputation (29465/50000) => Far-reaching reputation (29665/50000)

The heat in the clouds and mist dissipated, and Gu Ping'an felt refreshed all over. He walked faster and faster and soon reached the top of the mountain.

The sound of cows mooing was heard, and before my eyes there was another strange sight. It was clearly the top of a mountain that was hundreds of feet high, but on the top of it there was a paddy field of more than 20 acres.

There was rice planted in the field, growing very well. A yellow cow was tied to the hillside, nibbling on the grass with its head down.

After waiting for another cup of tea, Zhu Ziliu and the other man finally climbed up, their clothes and hair a little messy due to the mountain breeze.

"Young Master Gu's Qinggong is exquisite. I admire him."

Zhu Ziliu is not a person with a bad temper. If he was not concerned about his mentor, he would not have put on such a cold face when they met.

After a few polite words, the three of them crossed the path beside the field and continued forward.

At the end of the mountain road was a stone beam, about a foot wide, spanning between two peaks. The beam was uneven and swamped by moisture, making it extremely slippery. Below it was a deep valley; if one lost their footing, they would be crushed to pieces.

However, this kind of danger only applies to ordinary people. With Gu Ping'an's attainments in lightness skills, it is no different from being on flat ground.

There was no one to stop them on the way, and the three of them kept walking. They easily crossed several gaps and reached the opposite mountain in a blink of an eye.

After entering the temple gate and passing through a quiet bamboo forest, they arrived at the stone house where everyone was.

The room was filled with the scent of sandalwood incense, and several cushions were placed there. Jing Rong, the other two, the woodcutter, and the farmer sat at the lower seat, while Hong Qigong and the other two sat at the upper seat.

One of the two men had dark skin, a high nose and deep eyes, and was an Indian; the other had white hair and beard, and long drooping eyebrows, and was none other than Lord Duan, who had become a monk.

"Gu kid, you're here so quickly. Come, this is Emperor Duan."

Hong Qigong was chatting with the old monk with long eyebrows. When he saw Gu Ping'an come in, he waved to him.

"Seventh brother, you've forgotten again," the monk said with a gentle smile, "Emperor Duan has long passed away. My Buddhist name is now Yideng."

"Meet Master Yideng!"

Gu Ping'an bowed and saluted. Hong Qigong glanced behind him a few times with a puzzled look on his face.

"Strange, why isn't Nianci here?"

Gu Ping'an had previously regretted not being able to enjoy the beautiful scenery with Mu Nianci, and when he heard him mention it again, he felt a little disappointed.

"It's a long story. Nianci has other important matters to attend to and needs to go to Shandong. I will go find her after I finish this matter."

Hong Qigong didn't ask any further questions and just said it was a pity.

Master Yideng had long heard that Gu Ping'an's martial arts skills were no less than those of the Five Great Masters. Now that he had met him, he also felt that this young man had a calm and unfathomable inner aura.

"Now that we have Young Master Gu to help protect us, we have nothing to worry about. Brother Seven, we can begin now."

"Master!" Dian Cang Yuyin said anxiously, "Young Master Gu is certainly not afraid of Ouyang Feng, but for three to five years..."

Master Yideng interrupted calmly, "This place is so secretive. He hasn't shown up in all these years. How easy is it to find him now?"

The One Finger Zen of the Dali Duan family is the nemesis of Ouyang Feng's Toad Skill.

When Wu San Tong was seriously injured in the Western Regions, it was the old poisonous creature's conspiracy. He wanted to eliminate the trouble while Yideng had lost all his martial arts skills.

Now that Yideng has to heal Hong Qigong's injuries, it is inevitable that his power will be dissipated again, giving him another opportunity to take advantage of him.

"He naturally doesn't know, but if he and Yinggu..."

"Brother Yuyin, don't worry."

Gu Ping'an suddenly spoke to stop him, then turned to look at Master Yideng.

"Master, has Qi Gong ever told you about the miraculous effects of the Nine Yin Manual?"

"Of course I have mentioned it." Master Yideng showed a look of regret. "Unfortunately, although that healing method is mysterious, it is not applicable to Brother Qi because he cannot raise his internal energy."

"What I'm talking about is not the healing chapter, but another strange passage in the scripture." Gu Ping'an shook his head.

"I've heard most of the True Sutra from Brother Guo. After careful consideration, I've discovered that while the records in the Sutra are indeed exquisite and marvelous, they're missing something. The key may lie in this strange passage."

Given the martial arts attainments he had previously demonstrated, it was reasonable for him to notice this, and Hong Qigong and Master Yideng did not doubt it.

"Now that Young Master Gu has mentioned this, I finally remember it."

Master Yideng frowned slightly, a look of reminiscence flashing through his eyes.

"I once heard Master Chongyang mention that there was a general section in the Nine Yin Manual that was transliterated from Sanskrit into Chinese. This must be it."
