Chapter 417: Two Great Grandmasters Serving Me Alone, That

Liang Qu stepped over the threshold and turned to close the door.

The crisscrossing window lattices cast shadows, moonlight filled the veranda, the jujube tree's shadow swayed on the ground, and the rustling leaves made sounds in the wind.

The perfectly cool night breeze maximized the comfort of life.

Liang Qu looked up at the moon.

The old monk and the former Black-Clad Commandant, the former Prefect of Huaiyin Prefecture, Su Guishan, were actually old friends for many years!

Truly unexpected.

It was normal for Grandmasters to know other Grandmasters, but he hadn't expected that they would happen to have intersections with his own "boss"!

I'm really awesome.

Really.

A small three-entry courtyard, excluding the pond, covers an area of two mu and two fen.

A venerable monk lives in the left wing room, and the River Inspector resides in the right wing room.

Two great powerhouses serving me alone, that's quite a blessing, isn't it?

In the entire Pingyang Prefecture, from Fengbu in the south to Xiangyi in the north, there is no second residence with more gold content!

Wulong jumped onto the steps and came over to wag its tail.

Liang Qu rubbed the dog's head: "Raising you is superfluous!"

Wulong shook its head in dissatisfaction, leaned against his lower leg, and lay on the ground.

"Haha, just kidding." Liang Qu scratched Wulong's neck. "Tomorrow, let Auntie Zhang buy beef bones with tendons and meat for you to chew!"

Wulong's tail wagged again.

Patting its head and letting Wulong go play by itself, Liang Qu crossed the courtyard to the west wing.

Getting permission, he pushed open the door. Inside the room, on the north side, the scarred river otter family was sleeping neatly.

The big ones were curled up with their heads buried, and the small ones were sprawled out, snoring lightly.

Beside the bookshelf, the scarred river otter was wearing yellow clothes, using a feather duster to clean the bookshelf, organizing the books in order.

Liang Qu was not surprised. Settling down is settling down. One more family is not too many, and one less is not too few. They can even help clean up on weekdays.

He sat on the cushion, quite naturally flipped out a teacup to pour tea for himself, and refilled the old monk's.

"The Master and the former Prefect of Huaiyin Prefecture are old friends. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

The old monk put down the book in his hand, his tone slightly surprised: "Is that what he told you?"

Hmm?

Is there a problem?

Liang Qu put down the teacup in his hand and probed.

"Prefect Su said that he and you, Master, are old friends for many years who have studied the Great Dao together... Is that not right?"

The old monk pondered for a moment: "Yes and no."

"Yes and no?"

Liang Qu didn't understand.

Duality friends?

The old monk pondered for a long time, dipped his finger in tea, and wrote two characters on the table.

Gui, Gui.

"Su Guishan of Huaiyin Prefecture, when young, was a dissolute son, addicted to luxury, fond of fine houses, beautiful maids, bright clothes, and gorgeous lanterns. By the age of thirty, his martial arts were no more than Wolf Smoke, and his literature no more than a child student; neither had been achieved.

However, at twenty-nine, he encountered the battle between the water forces of the Gan and Shun dynasties and saved a Fortune-Blessing Mysterious Turtle, suddenly having an epiphany. He began to work hard, entering the Perfected Form at forty-three and passing the imperial examination at fifty-six.

Because he liked to keep turtles, people at the time called him Su Guishan. Over time, he also used Guishan as his old title and no longer used the old one."

Liang Qu suddenly realized.

The "Book of Rites" says: Among the three hundred and sixty shelled insects, the divine turtle is the leader.

Those who divine sacrifices use turtles, and those who divine other things use bones.

A turtle has never been a curse word; it represents longevity and fortune, avoiding evil and seeking good, a spiritual object of the first class.

A "Wang Ba" (bastard) is, as "Wang Ba" is a homophone for "forgetting the eight," meaning forgetting the eight virtues of ritual, righteousness, integrity, shame, filial piety, fraternal love, loyalty, and faith.

So that's how Su Guishan's name came about; it was half a nickname.

"Then the relationship between you and him..."

The scarred river otter stepped forward and bowed.

Liang Qu half-rose and moved the cushion to make room.

The scarred river otter picked up the teapot to add water.

The old monk nodded in thanks and continued.

"Before coming to Huaiyin Prefecture, we were nodding acquaintances. After entering Huaiyin Prefecture, I formally visited him twice, and we both gained something from the exchange. Last year, when I went to Huazhu County, I also took a detour to Huaiyin Prefecture to inform him of the evil monk's news. That was the third time."

At this point, Liang Qu already understood the intersection relationship between the two.

Their strength is powerful, and every move needs to be careful, not to be done casually.

As Grandmasters, the old monk came to Huaiyin Prefecture to track down the evil monk, so naturally, he had to "register and report" to the prefecture, rather than doing things silently. In case they fought later and hurt the innocent, it would be too late to explain.

Since both were Grandmasters and had met several times before, it was a rare formal visit, so there was inevitably an exchange of martial arts insights.

From the perspective of mutual gain, the two were indeed familiar, only...

Liang Qu pondered his wording: "Why is it that in Prefect Su's words, you, Master..."

The old monk's wording was quite different from Su Guishan's.

In Su Guishan's words, his relationship with the old monk was like meeting late, both teacher and friend...

"As he said, studying the Great Dao together." The old monk spun his prayer beads. "The damage to the Dantian is a major injury, it is true, but do you know why I am not in a hurry to repair it?"

Liang Qu shook his head.

Medicine that can treat the Dantian damage of a Hunting Tiger Great Martial Artist may not necessarily treat a Jiang Zongshi; the "root" of the two is vastly different.

So he actually didn't know how serious this injury was, whether it was serious enough that the old monk was helpless and had to live in a small courtyard reading scriptures every day.

"Breaking before standing, breaking greatly and standing greatly, understanding the new life. You practice the Golden Body, so you should know that when the Golden Body method is practiced to a profound level, it can resolve vital points and share external damage into the whole body to eliminate evil karma.

I intend to use the destruction of the Dantian as an opportunity to enter the Dao and achieve the Luo Han fruit position in one fell swoop."!!!

Liang Qu almost stood up when he heard this.

The Buddhist realm titles are different from secular ones. He clearly remembered the old monk once saying.

The Buddhist Luo Han fruit position means the realm of a Wu Sheng!

The old monk is holding back such a big move?

"Master is going to enter the Wu Sheng realm?"

The old monk shook his head and denied: "Far from it. A prototype, an idea, like a dream, bubble, or shadow. If it weren't for the Consciousness-Only Method you gave me before, I wouldn't have had this thought."

Consciousness-Only Method?

Is this method that awesome?

"Last year, during the great flood in Huazhu, I visited Prefect Su on the way, and we two discussed this matter. Prefect Su was quite interested in the matter of breaking and standing."

After listening to the old monk's narration, Liang Qu finally understood why Su Guishan wanted to stay in his house specifically.

It wasn't to visit a capable subordinate at all, nor was it because he and the old monk were close friends.

The relationship between the two is not enough to be called friends, and it is not appropriate to call them strangers. They just happened to encounter a key node, and as acquaintances, they came to rub off on experience!

It just so happened that the old monk was living in his subordinate's house, which gave him a suitable excuse!

"In that case, Prefect Su is also about to enter the Wu Sheng realm?"

Liang Qu felt that there were suddenly many Martial Saints around him.

Marquis Weining, the old monk, the old Prefect...

"Not so. Do you know how many realms there are for Grandmasters?"

Liang Qu shook his head: "I don't know."

"There are three realms in total. The second realm is often called the Great Jiang Zongshi, and the third realm is called the Heaven-Man Jiang Zongshi. Prefect Su is now a Second-Realm Great Jiang Zongshi. It's just that he entered the Perfected Form Great Realm before the age of knowing destiny, so the probability of achieving the Wu Sheng in the future is not small."

Entering the Perfected Form before the age of knowing destiny, and it's easy to achieve the Wu Sheng in the future?

Liang Qu secretly remembered it in his heart and asked again: "Then who is more powerful, you or Prefect Su?"

The old monk glanced at Liang Qu.

Liang Qu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"If I have to compare, at his peak, he is not as good as me; now, I am not as good as him."

Liang Qu nodded.

Tonight, the news he received was really explosive.

The amount of information was extremely high.

After digesting it, Liang Qu remembered the purpose of his visit.

"The two small orders you gave me last time were very useful. One could resist that big snake a dozen times and couldn't do anything to me at all. If it weren't for the two small orders, the snake-slaying matter might have had twists and turns. I came here tonight to thank you."

"The small order is based on the Golden Body. You have the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body, so you get twice the result with half the effort. The effect of using it is naturally different. If it were someone else, the effect would be halved.

It's just that the order is very time-consuming to prepare and cannot be kept for a long time, at most one month. If you want it next time, just come and find me."

"Thank you, Master."

Liang Qu thanked him again and respectfully exited the west wing.
