Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

"Having considered this situation, if this technique can reflect the temperament of its creator, then the 'Su Nu Jing' should be relatively gentle, right?"

Although I don't know what era we are in now, the "Su Nu Jing" is indeed a relatively traditional sexual technique, which mainly focuses on healing injuries and prolonging life.

A technique that can achieve such results must have been created by someone who was gentle.

"Perhaps." Yun Nongyu felt the same way, but she still corrected her: "It's not quite right to describe these original scriptures as creators. It would be more appropriate to call them 'translators.' The original scriptures are the inherent rules of heaven and earth. They were just discovered by our ancestors, who then recorded and passed them down in their own way."

That is, the creation of heaven and earth.

Chu Mingkong nodded, then said nothing more and continued to ponder like a sage.

...If the "Mysterious Woman Scripture" cannot provide enough help, Chu Mingkong can only turn his attention to his master's wife.

It's still unclear what's going on with those bald guys' actions this time. Is it a revenge by a few individuals, or a large-scale operation orchestrated by a group of people?

I think I could just ask my teacher's wife to see if she could help.

The master's wife was not someone who would deceive with words; for her, it was either not to speak or to speak the truth.

It is never too much effort to ponder deceptive words.

I might have to go and apologize to my master's wife later.

"By the way, Nongyu, does your innate Daoist constitution have any effect on you? Does it... communicate with you?"

"...?"

Yun Nongyu was unable to achieve that seemingly telepathic precognition this time; Chu Mingkong's description was somewhat abstract, and she found it difficult to understand what he meant.

"Does what you mean by speaking is that when one comprehends a cultivation technique, the spirit of the technique's owner can appear and explain it to one another?"

"Uh... never mind, it's nothing. I was just overthinking things today because I saw how the 'Mysterious Woman Scripture' could bring about such changes. Don't take it to heart."

Actually, Chu Mingkong was wondering if his system mother was the same kind of being as that Xuan Nu.

Today, the System Mom used her own power to take him away from Xuan Nu. This should be one of the few times she has shown her power. This means that she is not just like a gift machine, constantly "giving" things to him. She can really exert power.

The precognition that Yun Nongyu had been displaying during this period also gave Chu Mingkong a sense of familiarity, as if a more mysterious and advanced invisible power was guiding her.

That's why he became curious about Yun Nongyu's Daoist physique.

It's estimated that she might have a hard time understanding the meaning, and besides, it seems that knowing or not knowing doesn't make any difference. Even if she really is that goddess, what can Chu Mingkong gain or change from this information?

“Your Highness, there is something else I just noticed,” Yun Nongyu suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Hmm, what is it?"

"The Mysterious Woman Scripture... seems to have transferred some of the karmic influence from my lustful past to you as revenge, but it's the kind of influence that will disappear over time."

If Your Highness suddenly feels unwell, you may temporarily fly into the sky to avoid the crowd.

Regarding the lingering effects of the Sinister Path, Yun Nongyu was able to suppress them on her own by circulating the Mysterious Maiden Scripture with Chu Mingkong for several cycles, preventing the backlash from erupting uncontrollably again.

Moreover, the suppression effect is quite good; it doesn't deplete as quickly as the previous "oral" essence, which would be consumed in just one or two days.

During that brief moment of silence, Yun Nongyu reviewed her cultivation progress for the day and noticed that the "Mysterious Maiden Scripture" seemed to have shown some unusual activity during the short period of time it was circulating after Chu Mingkong woke up, which was what she had just mentioned.

Chu Mingkong was shocked: "This 'Mysterious Maiden Scripture' is too temperamental, even resorting to such underhanded tactics! Fine, I'll be more careful from now on."

What good would it do to transfer even a tiny bit of Slaanesh's influence onto him?

Aside from when he's playing with his daughter and might catch her off guard, otherwise it's just like he's had a cup of aphrodisiac to enhance the mood.

---------

After leaving Yun Nongyu, Chu Mingkong immediately ran to his master's wife's place, intending to quickly woo her.

The longer it drags on, the less sincere it seems.

But he was shocked to find his sister in the yard too...

It seems like a rather wrong choice to fawn over and coax one's master's wife in front of one's sister, Xiao Yunhan.

If Yunhan were to suddenly say something like, "Mingkong, you've given a bit too much this time," or "Mingkong, since you're so free, why don't you come and continue cultivating with me?" then things would get complicated.

This isn't even a question of whether they're sincere or not; it feels like they're just sending themselves to their deaths!

Helpless, Chu Mingkong had no choice but to do something else for the time being.

I'll come find my master's wife when she's alone.

"Where did Master's precious child go? Your disciple found a cultivation technique for you to learn~" Chu Mingkong muttered, releasing his senses to confirm the location of the target: "It's with Yuehe, perfect!"

He spurred his horse and galloped quickly to Yuehe's courtyard.

In the courtyard, Zuo Qiuchi sat quietly by the stone table, looking at the unknown sword manual collected in the Xiling Sutra Repository. Her plump legs, wrapped in black silk, were together, and a kitten nestled in her arms, its round eyes blinking, as if it were comprehending the sword manual with Zuo Qiuchi.

This scene seemed familiar. Back when they sneaked back to Xiling, Master's wife Shen Xuejun held him like this, in his adorable form, and read the Tao Te Ching with him in the early morning. However, back then, Shen Xuejun used his "standing stick" as a support to hold the book up.

Meanwhile, Yuehe gazed up at the sky, ignoring Zuo Qiuchi who had appeared in her courtyard.

Wherever kittens appear, except when babies are sleeping, the place is always lively and festive, with the sounds of babies laughing and playing constantly filling the air.

Even Chu Mingkong had never seen such a quiet place before.

He first walked over and sat down next to Zuo Qiuchi, touching his youngest daughter's feet. He couldn't help but think of the feet of that super-sized Xuan Nu, and felt the contrast was even more striking.

"Master, what's going on? Why are you reading here? Shouldn't you be sleeping in your own courtyard?"

"You should ask Yunhan. She's really annoyed. Don't ask why, she's just really annoyed. Next time you give her your 'power,' give her some oral 'power' too, preferably gag her. Thanks!"

His first words were filled with resentment, which almost transformed into black mist that swirled around Zuo Qiuchi.

Chu Mingkong's intuition told him not to ask too many questions now, as the more he asked, the more annoyed she would become. He just needed to remember to give Yunhan some drinks next time.

"Then I'll try to let Yunhan drink more next time?" Chu Mingkong asked tentatively.

"Yes, it's best to drink until she chokes, coughs, and drools from her mouth when she talks!" Zuo Qiuchi was still a little itchy, but the image in her mind calmed her down a lot.

Actually, Chu Mingkong didn't necessarily have to do that later. He just needed to go along with Zuo Qiuchi's wishes for now and let her vent her anger.

"So you came here to hide from Yunhan?"

"Yes, she had a relapse, which affected my reading of the sword manual."

"..."

So Yunhan was originally with Zuo Qiuchi, but Zuo Qiuchi found her annoying and came to Yuehe to hide, so Yunhan went back to her own courtyard and stayed with her master's wife?

Chu Mingkong was tempted to trick Zuo Qiuchi into going back, to lure Yun Han away from his master's wife, and to see what Yun Han had said that could have angered Zuo Qiuchi so much.

But I'd better not. Zuo Qiuchi would get furious. The consequences of doing this would be severing the master-disciple relationship for two or three days, which would be quite serious.

Chu Mingkong pulled out the "Mysterious Maiden Scripture" as if he had pulled out some peerless martial arts technique.

"Master, I have a sword manual here. Would you like to take a look?"

Zuo Qiuchi looked at him with eyes full of concern for someone with intellectual disabilities:

"Do you think I can't tell that this is the bedroom technique you bought from Qingse back then?"

The forms in which martial arts techniques are recorded in this world are incredibly diverse. The most common form is a book, but this also means that martial arts techniques are ubiquitous. Later forms include rubbings, bone fragments, animal hides, human skin, jade slips, jade pendants, and so on.

However, Zuo Qiuchi had seen the original scripture in Chu Mingkong's hand before and recognized it at a glance.

"...It is said that a sword manual is hidden inside! A peerless sword manual!" Chu Mingkong emphasized, forcing himself to speak, and then stuffed it into her storage magic item.

"I'm busy. Can't you see I'm studying the sword manual with my cat?"

Chu Mingkong secretly glanced at it and discovered that it was a storybook. He vaguely remembered that he had left this "kung fu" in the library to pass the time in order to pretend to be diligent and fool Yunhan. Only the cover of the book was a sword manual.

He didn't expose Zuo Qiuchi: "Then take a look when you have time, and look at it again when you remember. If you really don't have time to look at it, I'll give it back to Master Yun in a couple of days."

Hearing that his traitor had already backed down so much and wasn't pressuring him at all, Zuo Qiuchi didn't say anything and accepted it as a token gesture for the time being.

"I'm going to take the kitten to play with, Master, you keep an eye on her for now." Chu Mingkong first touched her thigh, but was glared at by Zuo Qiuchi. He immediately adopted a surrendering and admitting his mistake before picking up the adorable little guy and moving closer to Yuehe.

He skipped all the opening remarks and preamble; dealing with aloof and quiet people was much easier. He went straight to the point:

"Yuehe, I have some troublesome matters to deal with in a few days. Do you think there is any way I can improve my cultivation level and strength now? Or do you know how to improve my Nirvana Intent?"

"What level of trouble?"

“My godfather went to develop his skills and came back with some helpers to cause trouble. This time I want to take him down directly, without giving him any chance, along with the Buddhist helpers he brought.”

Chapter 314 The Mysterious Woman Scripture I Want to Beat Him Up

Zuo Qiuchi didn't deliberately eavesdrop on the traitor's speech, but Chu Mingkong didn't keep quiet, so she heard some of it.

There's so much trouble here. I've been just staying home playing with my daughter, and this is causing all this trouble.

Since someone was coming to cause trouble, Zuo Qiuchi couldn't just sit idly by. Even last-minute preparations can be effective, so while there was still some enthusiasm, he quickly took a look at the "Mysterious Woman's Classic".

Taking out the original scripture, Zuo Qiuchi muttered to himself about Chu Mingkong's intentions:

"Does this thing really contain a sword manual? Or is it just a trick to make me practice the bedroom arts of the 'Mysterious Maiden Scripture'...?"

If that's the case, Zuo Qiuchi realized that his plan had failed. The "Mysterious Woman Scripture" is not something you can learn just by wanting to; it depends on fate and talent.

Zuo Qiuchi temporarily put aside his grumbling, got into a focused state, and concentrated on gazing at the original scripture, trying to gain some insight from it. He even used his talent for deducing sword techniques.

A flickering flame danced in Zuo Qiuchi's bright eyes, but it had not yet taken shape; this was a state of not yet having attained enlightenment.

After a short while, Zuo Qiuchi still couldn't find a solution and prepared to give up and stop torturing himself.

But a strange, authoritative female voice echoed in her mind:

Who are you, that rude junior?

Ok?

Where did that sound come from?

Zuo Qiuchi knew that the voice came from her mind, but she wanted to confirm who made the voice. Could it be from the "Mysterious Woman Scripture"?

Her slender fingers flicked forcefully across the original scriptures, which resembled gold foil and iron sheets, as she asked, "It's you? Which rude junior are you referring to?"

[To the scoundrel who gave you the "Mysterious Woman's Classic".]

Wait, this scripture can talk? What did Chu Mingkong do to make even the scripture "come back to life" from anger...?

"My unfilial disciple, what's wrong? Are you planning to teach me the martial arts techniques directly?"

[You lack the talent to practice the bedroom arts of the "Mysterious Maiden Scripture," but your swordsmanship is exceptionally gifted. I can teach you three forms of the Mysterious Maiden Sword Technique, but there are conditions.]
