Chapter 80 The affairs of martial arts practitioners are not considered stealing.
After learning that their own library was like a public latrine and frequently visited, Shaolin Temple increased its security, but over time it became merely a formality.
Bodhi-in Temple is no exception.
Dressed in black, Qi Ming entered the Bodhi Temple but did not encounter any monks, so he went straight into the inner hall.
There is a large screen in the hall, and a bronze mirror on the screen.
There was a line of text on the mirror, which was a classic Buddhist theory: "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning; thus should they be viewed."
Qi Ming was too lazy to look at it any further and directly pressed the four characters "一梦如是" in order.
With a creaking sound, the bronze mirror flipped upwards.
Qi Ming looked closely and sure enough, there was a small oilcloth package.
He opened the package, took out the Sanskrit version of the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic), and then quietly left.
Actually, he wasn't very interested in the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic).
The Yi Jin Jing is hailed as supreme, but its expressive power seems to be just so-so.
This book was originally written in India using herbal water, and is called the "Divine Foot Sutra". It is not visible when dry, but it will appear when wet.
Because of this, an Indian monk brought it to China and copied the Yijinjing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) created by Bodhidharma onto it, thus creating "one book with two classics"!
It was later stolen by A'Zhu and given to Xiao Feng.
It was then found and mastered by You Tanzhi.
After You Tanzhi mastered the technique, he destroyed the book, leaving only the Chinese translation of "One Book and One Classic".
Therefore, Qi Ming's goal was this "Divine Foot Sutra".
It is a kind of ancient yoga technique.
Yoga is great! I should practice yoga!
When I get back, I'll open a yoga studio and make a fortune!
That's just one way of putting it.
Qi Ming wasn't interested in this.
He just wanted his woman to train harder so she wouldn't encounter danger that he wouldn't be able to save her.
Let's add a touch of whimsy along the way.
The second quarter of Zi Zheng.
Qi Ming entered Tokyo City and arrived at Tushizi Street.
Zhou Nan, his mistress, moved to a mansion here, since she had gone ashore! She also disliked Panlou Street in the west, so she had to move.
Qi Ming didn't knock on the door; he flew straight into the house.
Zhou Nan and his maid Mo Wen had already retired for the night, and the female Beggars' Sect disciples on guard had also gone to rest...
Han Dachui transmigrated to the Northern Song Dynasty. The beggar gang in Bianjing (Kaifeng) was the kind that legitimately engaged in the business of harvesting and cutting meat. He dealt with them severely and then sent them to settle down in the countryside.
But the Beggars' Sect of this world isn't something his small cannons can easily handle! He needs modern firepower, or advance preparations, like that Taoist Priest Chongxu...
He's the Wudang Sect leader from "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".
His trump card wasn't Tai Chi swordsmanship, but gunpowder—he had tens of thousands of kilograms of black powder!
He had buried it under the chair that Ren Woxing was going to sit in, intending to destroy everything in the process.
As a result, Ren Woxing died suddenly.
Otherwise, how could Linghu Chong still be so carefree? He's practically cheating.
After entering the bedroom, Qi Ming lit a candle with one finger, then took the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) and climbed onto the incense bed.
Zhou Nan asked, still confused, "Husband, what time is it?"
Qi Ming pinched her cheek and said, "No matter what time it is, you can't sleep right now. I have something good that I specially made for you. Take a look."
Zhou Nan's spirits lifted, and he immediately sat up, leaning naked against Qi Ming's left shoulder. Looking at the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic), he asked, completely bewildered:
"What character is this?"
Qi Ming pinched her again, feigning disdain, and said:
"A courtesan, my foot! So uncultured! You don't even recognize such obvious Sanskrit?"
Zhou Nan said coquettishly, "Yes, I am uncultured, please enlighten me, my husband."
Qi Ming kissed her pretty face seven or eight times before jokingly saying:
"It's perfectly normal for a lowly beggar like me not to understand. You, on the other hand, are a renowned courtesan, skilled in poetry, music, and painting. How could you not understand?"
Zhou Nan chuckled a few times, then sniffed Qi Ming's chest and said with a smile:
"Where does my husband smell bad? I can't smell anything. There is a hint of sweat, though. Would you like to take a bath and change? Let's not disturb Mowen; I'll serve you!"
"No rush! This book is the Yi Jin Jing, the most treasured manual of Shaolin Temple. I found it in their Bodhi Courtyard not long ago, and then rushed back to teach you how to practice it..."
"Can you practice even if you don't understand it?"
"Sure! These messy Sanskrit characters are the Yi Jin Jing, which you can't practice. But these diagrams aren't; they're the Shen Zu Jing, which can also be called yoga. Even a clumsy genius like you can master this kind of martial art."
"Really? I'll give it a try!"
"..."
Zhou Nan is highly flexible, having studied dance, and easily performs the corresponding poses according to the pattern. In addition, being completely naked makes her very attractive.
So Qi Ming pressed down on her waist and said in a serious tone, "I'll help you improve your luck!"
Zhou Nan was speechless.
Her husband, who is famous throughout the land as the Prince Consort of Western Xia, the Prince Consort of Dali, and the leader of the Beggars' Sect, is far too improper and unreliable!
Stealing a secret manual for such a low-level pleasure...
"How can something done by someone who practices martial arts be called stealing? Besides, that Shaolin abbot can even steal women, what's the big deal about me just picking up a scripture they can't understand?"
"Husband, what my husband says is true..."
"Besides, I ran all the way here and sweated so much. Even if I didn't do anything special, I still put in the effort. Don't worry about me, shouldn't you thank me?"
"No, this shouldn't be!"
"Um?!"
"I don't know martial arts. If my husband goes too far... I will die."
"Then why don't you hurry up and start cultivating?"
"..."
three days later.
I've gotten started with Zhou Nan's "Shen Zu Jing".
Qi Ming was relieved and returned to Suzhou.
Mantuo Villa, Yihong Courtyard.
"Jiang Ang! Jiang Ang!"
Li Qinglu poked Manggu Zhuha's right thigh, then glared at her husband, her jealousy flaring as she questioned him:
"This is the same kind of toad, but with a famous courtesan instead?"
Qi Ming retorted confidently, "What's wrong with a real man having three wives and four concubines? Your father had over a hundred concubines, and Yan'er's father had at least dozens of women. What am I compared to that?"
"He is him, and you are you!"
Li Qinglu gritted her teeth and said, "You already have one wife and three concubines, aren't you satisfied? You stand still, or I'll bite you to death and then die with you!"
You're not Kang Jinlian, why are you trying to bite people?
Qi Ming hugged the young woman and deliberately provoked her, saying, "What do you mean by one wife and three concubines? Your favorite cousin, my beloved A'Zhu, you want them to be concubines? No, I don't agree!"
Li Qinglu immediately went berserk, biting Qi Ming's nose until he changed his mind and said he loved her the most, at which point she released her grip. Still fuming, she wiped away tears and begged Qi Ming to do it only once and never again.
Qi Ming naturally agreed.
That night.
After the dinner party.
Li Qingluo found Qi Ming and said very proudly:
"Not only am I exceptionally talented, but I also practice diligently. In just a few months, I've mastered it... When will we have joint training?"
You're so smug!
If I hadn't opened up your Ren and Du meridians, your trash talent wouldn't have been able to learn the Ancient Tomb Heart Sutra and master the Quanzhen Heart Sutra.
Qi Ming did not belittle her.
When Ding Chunqiu taught her to cultivate the Lesser Formless Skill, she couldn't even do the breathing part properly.
of course.
Perhaps it's because Ding Chunqiu himself was a poor student that he couldn't teach well!
