Reborn as Lin Pingzhi, starting from escorting Daiyu to the capital.

original.

Kumārajīva captured Duan Yu and brought him to Jiangnan, wanting both the Six Meridians Divine Sword of the Dali Duan family and the martial arts manuals of the Murong family in the "Returning Water Pavilion" of Canhe Village.

Unexpectedly, Duan Yu and his men escaped from Qin Yun Xiaozhu in the middle of the night.

Afterwards, he became increasingly angry and decided to sneak into Canhe Village. He happened to run into Madam Wang and, after following her, actually found a stone cave.

The stone cave room was filled with cabinets stacked high, densely packed with various martial arts manuals, and the sides were covered with labels bearing the names of various schools such as "Kunlun School", "Shaolin School", "Qingcheng School of Sichuan", and "Penglai School of Shandong".

He was arrogant and looked down on ordinary martial arts, only seeking out the unique skills of schools like Shaolin and Wudang, but most of them were incomplete.

When he turned to the page about the Fuwei Escort Agency, he saw a slip of paper pasted next to it with the following note:

"The Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, created by Lin Yuantu of the Fuwei Escort Agency, is exquisitely crafted and comparable to the Six Meridians Divine Sword. The techniques recorded in this pavilion are far less powerful, and there must be something missing."

He opened the Demon-Slaying Sword Manual, and it indeed looked ordinary.

Suddenly, he thought of Lin Pingzhi from the Fuwei Escort Agency, whom he had met before, and an idea suddenly came to him: since Duan Yu had run away and the Six Meridians Divine Sword was lost, he could try this Evil-Repelling Sword Manual.

He has always been fond of martial arts, and once he hears of an extraordinary skill, he can't wait to possess it for himself.

After returning to Suzhou, he inquired around and learned that the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual was indeed extraordinary, coveted even by the Huashan Sect, Qingcheng Sect, and Songshan Sect.

Upon hearing that Lin Pingzhi and the others had just left Suzhou, he used his lightness skill to chase after them overnight, which led to the scene of him demonstrating his martial arts just now.

Kumārajīva's eyes were sharp as he fixed his gaze on Lin Pingzhi.

He had two purposes in demonstrating the technique.

First, demonstrate the power of the technique to arouse the other party's greed; no one can refuse the 72 Shaolin skills.

Secondly, it flaunts military power and implies a threat.

really.

Bai Er, Chen Qi, and the others all stared eagerly at Lin Pingzhi.

Those are the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin.

No sword manual in the Lin family can compare.

As soon as Kumārajīva spoke, Lin Pingzhi understood his meaning.

He never imagined that the other party would set their sights on the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke:

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Let us go to the pavilion to discuss it in detail."

Upon hearing that there was hope, Kumārajīva was overjoyed.

Lin Pingzhi turned around and instructed the others to stand guard, while he walked straight to the pavilion and sat down with Kumārajīva on the undamaged stone bench on the other side.

Based on his understanding of Kumārajīva, he knew that if this man set his sights on the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual and refused to hand it over, he would suffer the same fate as Duan Yu.

"I wonder what family-inherited martial arts technique of my Lin family the King of Ming wishes to exchange for?" Lin Pingzhi asked.

"Of course, it's the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique that made my great-grandfather Yuan Tu invincible throughout the world." After saying that, he added, "The complete version."

He said this to warn Lin Pingzhi not to try to fool him with fakes.

Lin Pingzhi, filled with curiosity, asked, "How did Your Majesty learn of my family's secret martial arts?"

Kumārajīva smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Escort knows quite a bit about me. As a friend, I naturally want to know more about you as well. I went to great lengths to obtain this information from fellow martial artists."

Lin Pingzhi looked troubled and slowly said, "This Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is a family heirloom of my Lin family. Our ancestral precepts state that it must not be passed on to outsiders."

Kumārajīva knew there was hope from Lin Pingzhi's expression, and put his hands together in prayer, saying:

"Young Master Escort, this humble monk is obsessed with martial arts. Upon hearing of the martial arts technique I desire, I find it difficult to resist. I humbly request your assistance."

His words were earnest and sincere.

But the underlying threat is self-evident.

Lin Pingzhi hesitated for a moment, then said, "This is, after all, a family heirloom technique. If we were to exchange it for just one more technique..."

"In that case, Young Master Escort can choose two of the four techniques from the previous ones," Kumārajīva said through gritted teeth.

Lin Pingzhi pondered for a long time before speaking with difficulty: "Since you are so fond of my ancestral martial arts technique, how can I refuse? I only hope that you will cultivate it well after obtaining it and not let this technique down."

He was afraid that if he asked for too much, Kumārajīva might change his mind later, which would be bad.

Tenryu-ji needs four gates, and I only need half of them, which is just right.

Kumārajīva was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, young镖头 (镖头 is a nickname for a镖师, meaning镖师 is a person who is very generous and helpful). This humble monk will definitely carry forward the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual."

With his talent, mastering it won't be a problem.

Lin Pingzhi then said, "My martial arts technique is somewhat special, as it is written on a monk's robe. This robe is an heirloom and needs to be kept. I would be grateful if you could transcribe the technique for me, Master."

nonsense.

This monk's robe still needs to be taken to the capital.

One thing has multiple uses.

Lin Pingzhi had absolutely no sense of self-worth.

Kumārajīva said calmly, "No need. My memory is still good. Young Master Escort, you only need to lend me your monk's robe for a look."

Previously, he had been led around by Lin Pingzhi in every way, but now he thought he could finally show off his skills.

"Which two martial arts techniques does the young镖头 (chief镖头 is a term for a镖师, meaning镖师, or镖头 is a person or organization) wish to exchange?" Kumārajīva asked impatiently.

He was not afraid that Lin Pingzhi would obtain the cultivation technique.

After all, each of Shaolin Temple's unique skills requires a great deal of effort to practice. With his talent, he has only just mastered these four finger techniques so far.

This young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) is so young and often busy with worldly affairs, how could he possibly have a lot of time to practice martial arts?

"I would like to exchange the Flower-Picking Finger Technique and the Flaming Blade."

Lin Pingzhi said, "I would like to exchange the Flower-Picking Finger Technique and the Flaming Blade."

The "flower-picking finger" technique is a gentle and feminine fingering method, perfectly matching the icy true qi of the Songshan School.

The Flaming Blade is invisible and intangible, making it an essential skill for home and travel, as well as for surprise attacks and ambushes.

Kumārajīva praised, "Young Master Escort has excellent taste."

Having said that, he took out two booklets from his pocket, clearly having prepared in advance. Confident in his martial arts skills, he was not afraid that Lin Pingzhi would go back on his word.

Lin Pingzhi also took out a monk's robe from his bundle and handed it to Kumārajīva.

Kumārajīva's eyes were piercing as he said:

"This sword manual is written on a monk's robe; it seems I have a connection with it."

The monk's robe looks old and worn, not like a forgery.

The east corner is lost, and the mulberry elm is harvested.

The Six Meridian Divine Sword is gone, but the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual has been added.

"Um?"

When he saw the first line, Kumārajīva almost jumped up, thinking that Lin Pingzhi was making fun of him.

"To become the supreme master of the martial arts world, one must castrate oneself with a sword."

What kind of amazing skill is this?

Seeing Lin Pingzhi calmly flipping through the booklet he had given him, Kumārajīva suppressed his dissatisfaction and continued reading.

"what?"

Kumārajīva became increasingly astonished as he looked.

With his martial arts skills, he could naturally see the wonders of this technique.

"I see, I see!"

He kept hitting his thighs, muttering to himself.

"What a pity, what a pity."

"Such a technique, if practiced by a nun, would be contrary to the Buddhist principle of compassion. This humble monk, however, cannot practice it."

When Kumārajīva read Lin Yuantu's admonition at the end, he felt deeply regretful.

After reading it, Kumārajīva said with a wry smile, "Young Master Escort, you've really put this humble monk in a difficult position. I never imagined that your Lin family's unique skills would be like this."

He had memorized the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual and returned the cassock to Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi said, "I have already warned King Ming before, surely King Ming won't regret it?"

Kumārajīva proudly declared, "I will never regret what I have said."

Lin Pingzhi was convinced by what Chongming Wang had said.

As he spoke, he tore the two booklets in his hand, letting the scraps of paper scatter in the wind.

He has already finished reading these two cultivation manuals, and the system has already entered them, so there is no need to keep them.

"What's this, Young Master Escort?" Kumārajīva asked in surprise and doubt.

"Since the King of Light only spent half an hour studying the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, I will naturally also spend half an hour studying it; only then will it be fair."

Lin Pingzhi spoke with great passion and enthusiasm.
