The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 335 Brother Murong is such a good person

Half a month later, Duan Yu had mastered the "Purple Air Coming from the East Divine Art" (Zixia Divine Art) and could practice it on his own. He could even perform the "Lingbo Weibu" with his eyes closed. However, he was still a little short of the "Yangwu Sword Technique" and "Shenmen Thirteen Swords". However, it did not matter much, as the sword manual had been given to Emperor Baoding, so he could teach them himself.

This was also a signal, indicating that these two sword techniques were not only available to the Murong family, but could also be practiced within the Duan family of Dali. At least Emperor Baoding could do it, otherwise how could he pass it on to his nephew Duan Yu.

Murong Fu left gracefully. Before leaving, he gave the guqin and the cane containing the ancient sword to Duan Yu, and secretly told Emperor Baoding that there was a shortcut to practicing the "Purple Qi Coming from the East" skill, which was to have other people transfer their true qi to him, and let him slowly refine it and make it his own.

The prescriptions I gave them before would be somewhat wasted during their practice. If I could pass some of the newly converted internal energy to Duan Yu at this time, I could increase the utilization rate without reducing the benefits.

Emperor Baoding was overjoyed when he heard this. Duan Yu was already twelve or thirteen years old, which was several years later than when he started practicing martial arts at the age of seven or eight. Although he had extraordinary talent, it was still a little late. His future in the city might be limited. Now that he had this shortcut to Nanshan, with the help of himself and the monks of Tianlong Temple, his future might even be brighter than his own.

This kid is a fool with good luck. He met Master Murong, and he is destined to rise quickly. In the future, he will definitely have a lot of dealings with the Gusu Murong family. However, apart from the One Finger Zen, his family has no other secret skills left, so he has no confidence to continue to take advantage of them.

Do I have to exchange her for the other daughters of my younger brother, the Prince of Zhennan?

During this period, Emperor Baoding, Prince Zhennan and several high monks of Tianlong Temple analyzed Murong Fu's intentions a lot. Various ideas emerged one after another, but most of them were harmless. However, Prince Zhennan Duan Zhengchun suddenly mentioned a possibility one day that this guy had taken a fancy to his daughter, not only Wang Yuyan of Mantuo Villa, but also Zhong Ling of Wanjie Valley.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone erupted in fury, but for some reason, the more they thought about it, the more they felt it was possible. Perhaps the young man's thoughts were indeed like this, just as he had helped the Horse God Zhong Wanchou. He definitely couldn't possibly be interested in that reckless, ugly man. It was also impossible to say he had his eyes on the married woman Gan Baobao. The only explanation was the adorable loli Zhong Ling.

Before leaving, Murong Fu called Duan Yu aside and told the hidden Emperor Baoding not to show up. He stared at him intently for a moment before saying, "Although you are young, you already have a certain charm and flirtation. You bear some resemblance to your father. I'm afraid you will face many romantic troubles in the future."

"Don't be so quick to refute me, young man. I've dabbled in Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, and I even know a thing or two about physiognomy. I'm just speaking casually, and you're just listening. Whether it's true or not will be determined in the future. When you reach adulthood and have achieved some success in martial arts, you'll undoubtedly be unable to resist the constraints of your family and escape from the Prince of Zhennan's mansion. You'll then inevitably have to interact with outsiders, so remember not to easily reveal the origins of your martial arts skills, and don't let yourself suffer any loss."

"The 'Purple Air Coming from the East' Divine Art' is quite magical, so ordinary, low-grade poisons and drugs will have little effect on you. If you can't truly be invincible in the martial arts world, you must remember to play dumb and eat the tiger. You are handsome, so it's natural that you will be liked. If you meet a beautiful woman, don't be careless. Ask her family if they have any objections to the Duan family, and then introduce yourself. Get the approval of her parents before you approach her."

Duan Yu hurriedly asked why, and the old man said quietly, "I'm afraid that one day, you'll treat my own sister as your lover. You should know that your playboy father has many mistresses, but he doesn't know how many illegitimate daughters he has out there. If you really meet one of them, you'll naturally be attracted to her because of our close blood. If you get the wrong idea, then..."

Duan Yu frowned at this, while Emperor Baoding secretly shuddered. This possibility wasn't impossible. His younger brother had high standards, so the women he favored were naturally extraordinary. Would the daughter they gave birth to be anything but ordinary? Even Yu'er couldn't possibly have higher standards than he did. When brother and sister met, unbeknownst to each other, it wasn't impossible for them to fall in love at first sight.

No! We must speed up the process of gathering information about the emperor's younger brother's lovers. If he truly has children, we must be extra vigilant to avoid damaging the Duan family's reputation.

Murong Fu left after all, carrying his ancient bookcase on his back. Duan Yu stared at his receding figure in a daze. He felt inexplicably that he seemed to have grown taller, and was no longer gloomy, but full of vitality.

"Am I dazzled?" Duan Yu muttered to himself, holding the guqin in a daze for a while until his uncle, Emperor Baoding, woke him up.

Zhu Danchen drove over and took the guqin. Before he could put it down, he suddenly felt something was wrong. The bottom of the guqin was bumpy and seemed to be a little off. Turning around, he saw something else written on it: the seven-stringed invisible sword.

At first glance, it turned out to be a rather advanced sonic sword technique. Zhu Danchen did not dare to neglect it and immediately called for Emperor Baoding and Duan Yu, handing them the guqin. Duan Yu's cultivation was not high and his knowledge was shallow, but Emperor Baoding was different. After a moment's careful scrutiny, he smiled bitterly, "Another first-class martial art, a sonic sword technique that infuses superior internal energy and is used to disrupt the enemy's mind."

Emperor Baoding, as the Emperor of Dali, possessed both civil and military prowess, but he was unable to create such a technique. However, this did not prevent him from discerning its merits and demerits. The "Seven-Stringed Invisible Sword" was merely the sound of a zither. The sound itself could not harm the enemy, but its effectiveness lay in stimulating the enemy's internal energy and disrupting their moves. The stronger the opponent's internal energy, the more potent the response to the zither's sound.

However, it is ineffective against two types of people. One is ordinary people who have no internal strength, and the other is peerless masters with superb martial arts skills and internal strength far exceeding that of the user, or those who have trained their internal strength to the point of being uncontrollable.

However, there are not many people of these two types in the world. If you use them yourself, no one in Tianlong Temple will be unaffected except Master Kurong, not even Abbot Benyin.

Emperor Baoding hurried to Tianlong Temple with the guqin in his arms. Duan Yu was also taken away by him. He decided to keep him in Tianlong Temple for a while and ask the monks in Tianlong Temple to help him improve his skills.

Murong Fu could not have imagined that his disguise and character building operation not only brought him a lot of benefits, but also accidentally created a more powerful Tiannan Duan clan, which tricked the four evil men and the Tubo national teacher Jiumozhi.

After just half a month of getting along, Murong Fu left a deep impression on Duan Yu with his superior knowledge, causing him to often recall the time he spent with his "master" and remember many things to pay attention to when traveling in the world. He disguised himself as an unfathomable scholar, but he succeeded in playing the pig and eating the tiger time and time again, and made a lot of names for himself.

Murong Fu bid farewell to Duan Yu and Emperor Baoding, and rushed to Wanjie Valley alone. On the way, he looked for the Manggu Zhuha but couldn't find it. Recalling the original novel, he knew that this thing was not common, so he had to give up and wait until the plot began to make another decision.

When they came to Wanjie Valley again, the Qimen Dunjia Bagua Formation took effect, and it was even more difficult for outsiders to find it. However, it was not difficult for Murong Fu. The Horse King Shen Zhong Wanchou was very enthusiastic when he saw him, but he asked him with some embarrassment to give him some advice on his medical skills. This was probably because he got the title of miracle doctor with the help of Murong Fu, and he also had the book "Miscellaneous Treatises on Common Epidemics in Dali Kingdom", so he could deal with common diseases, but not uncommon diseases.

On his way back to Wanjie Valley, he almost lost face because of this. If Wanjie Valley was not so hard to find, it would have been thronged with people seeking medical treatment. He had left a description of the symptoms and contact address for the patients, and said that he would go back and study it and then give a reply. However, he studied so much but had no clue at all, and finally had to ask Murong Fu for help.

Although he had never met the person, Zhong Wanchou had been his accompanying medicine boy for half a month, and the symptoms he recorded were quite complete. Murong Fu studied them carefully and gave three possibilities, two verification methods and their own treatment methods for each possible symptom, which made Zhong Wanchou overjoyed.

"If you encounter such a thing again in the future, please send a letter to me. I am the magistrate of Rongjing County, and I have to stay in the government office for several months every year." Murong Fu's words made Zhong Wanchou and his wife frown. You, the head of the county, actually neglected your duties and was not in charge of the area most of the time, and even so, you managed to run Rongjing County prosperously.

When Zhong Ling saw Murong Fu again, she became even more obsessed with him and pestered him to teach her more and more interesting kung fu. Murong Fu pondered for a moment, then taught her the "Lingbo Weibu" and carefully warned her that this method had a long history and could not be leaked at will. If anyone asked about it, she should not get entangled with them, but should stay away as soon as possible, and must not give herself away.

Zhong Ling nodded hurriedly. Murong Fu had only given her two days of instruction and helped Zhong Wanchou improve his medical skills. He also told him that if he really wanted to become a famous doctor, he should go to Gusu College to find the genius doctor Xue Muhua, which made Zhong Wanchou quite excited.

However, Mrs. Zhong Gan Baobao looked at Murong Fu with a rather resentful look. Murong Fu quickly understood what was happening, but he could only apologize secretly. Duan Zhengchun was not a good match for him. He had turned over a new leaf and would not kill her like in the original story. However, Duan Zhengchun was too suicidal. Duan Yanqing and Kang Min were not easy to deal with.

For the sake of Zhong Ling not going to her parents, it would be better for you to cut off contact with that playboy.

Murong Fu set out alone, returning to Rongjing County with a bountiful harvest. Little Zhong Ling's eyes were red as she kept sending him off, which made Murong Fu feel distressed. He had no choice but to tell her that she could come with her father to find him at a certain time every year. If she practiced martial arts well, he would teach her more beautiful ones. This made little Zhong Ling's worries turn into joy. At least she knew that they would meet again in the future and when and where she could find Brother Murong.

"Brother Murong is such a good person." Zhong Wanchou was full of emotion, but in return, Gan Baobao rolled his eyes. "Don't you notice that he treats Ling'er better than you?" Aren't you afraid that your brother will become your son-in-law in the end?

Zhong Wanchou frowned, his expression changing three times before he finally said, "That's not impossible. I've thought about it carefully, and only someone as capable as Brother Murong can make Ling'er's life better. Just looking at the martial arts he taught Ling'er, even I'm quite tempted. It's a pity that they are only suitable for women to practice. Baby, how about you try practicing them too?"

This remark only earned Gan Baobao a series of eye rolls. "Do you think I really haven't practiced that beauty boxing technique? Can't you see that my figure has improved?" Since receiving the imperial decree, Gan Baobao has accepted her fate and has regained her former fierce and aggressive demeanor, but with even greater charm, she dazzled Zhong Wanchou.
