Chapter 188: Subduing Luan Tingyu

~8 min read 1,558 words

"I wonder, will that Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu see me?"

At the same time, Luan Tingyu, who was detained in a room in the side room, was also waiting anxiously.

Zhang Jie wanted to subdue Luan Tingyu, so naturally he wouldn't use torture on him.

It was called detention, but in fact, there were no shackles on Luan Tingyu's body,

and the bedding and tea in the side room were all available. If he wanted anything,

he could also apply to the several soldiers standing guard in front of the house.

Therefore, apart from having no freedom, Luan Tingyu's other treatments were no worse than when he was in the Zhu Family Manor.

However, these things could not soothe Luan Tingyu's anxious heart.

Before, when the heavy infantry leader of Liang Shan, the Flower Monk Lu Zhishen, came to persuade him to surrender, he was very disdainful:

He couldn't even take a single blow from the Flower Monk, so why would he go up to Liang Shan?

To be an ordinary infantryman?

How could Luan Tingyu, who was proud of his own martial arts, accept this?

He would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox, so he was unwilling to surrender no matter what.

As a result, the Flower Monk said that his strength was actually about the same as his before,

and it was because of the help of Liang Shan's current Zhang Zhaizhu that he got a leap-forward improvement.

How could this not make him, who was obsessed with martial arts, curious?

However, his heart was also full of doubts:

He had traveled the world for many years and had never heard of such a method.

This was very likely a lie told by the Flower Monk to stabilize him.

Even so, he had to see that Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu first,

to see what kind of person could make a hero like the Flower Monk not care about his reputation for him.

"Greetings, Zhang Zhaizhu!"

Outside the door came the extremely excited voice of the Liang Shan soldiers standing guard.

"You have worked hard."

Immediately following was a gentle and magnetic greeting.

"Serving Liang Shan, not hard!"

The Liang Shan soldiers were even more excited.

'This Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu is afraid he is a gentle and benevolent elder who has gained the support of Liang Shan.'

Luan Tingyu outlined the image of the Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu in his heart.

Creak.

The door of the side room was pushed open, and a group of people walked in.

'This...'

Luan Tingyu, who stood up to welcome them, looked at the person surrounded by the big monk who defeated him,

a young man who was as gentle as jade, spirited, but no more than thirty years old, and fell into a daze.

How is this Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu different from what he imagined?

How did such a youth get the support of Liang Shan?

Didn't they say that if there is no hair on the mouth, things won't be firm?

"Why is Instructor Luan not speaking? Is there something dirty on Zhang's face?"

A gentle voice woke Luan Tingyu from his daze.

"Luan Tingyu pays respects to the Master of Liang Shan!"

Luan Tingyu bowed and paid respects.

Although he couldn't believe it in his heart,

since he could get such support from this big monk, this young man must be the Master of Liang Shan.

"Instructor Luan, please get up quickly."

Zhang Jie reached out and helped the bowing Luan Tingyu up.

Several people then came to the Eight Immortals table in the room and sat down in order.

"Instructor Luan, I heard from Master Lu that you specifically wanted to see me?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Jie asked straight to the point.

"I heard that you, Zhang Zhaizhu, have a method that can greatly increase our strength?"

Luan Tingyu looked at Zhang Jie with burning eyes.

Although he was suspicious in his heart, he, who was obsessed with martial arts, was still willing to believe it one more time.

"There is such a method."

Zhang Jie smiled and didn't avoid it, but said it straight.

With resources from multiple worlds to complement each other, he, who was not afraid of others being the guest and taking over as the host, naturally wouldn't be stingy.

After arriving at Liang Shan and settling down, he taught corresponding martial arts to each leader according to their characteristics.

After the Gao Yanei incident, Lin Chong's haze in his heart was cleared, and he became fearless,

advancing bravely, so Zhang Jie taught him the extremely yang and extremely rigid "Nine Yang Divine Art."

Wu Song had immense strength and wanted to go further,

so Zhang Jie taught him the "Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art," which is said to have the power of ten dragons and ten elephants after completion.

Song Wan had a rough face and a tall stature, but was a bit afraid of death and wanted to strengthen his defense,

so Zhang Jie taught him according to his aptitude, teaching him the "Dragon-Singing Iron Cloth Shirt."

The three Ruan brothers were dragons in the water, with extraordinary water skills,

so Zhang Jie taught them the breath-holding secret technique in the "Nine Yin Manual."

Don't listen to the name of this breath-holding secret technique, which seems not as high-end, atmospheric, and classy as other martial arts names;

but in fact, it is a special technique in the Nine Yin Manual,

which can not only allow practitioners who have achieved success to stop breathing for a long time,

but also keep internal breath stopped and perceive the outside world or even walk while holding breath.

This is more thorough than simple breath-holding martial arts (such as the Turtle Breathing Technique in Tian Long).

Because the Turtle Breathing Technique can only hold breath, but internal breath is not stopped, and it cannot perceive the outside world.

Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden once used the breath-holding secret technique to walk underwater.

Wang Chongyang also used it to feign death and ambush Ouyang Feng,

wasting his "Toad Art," showing its unfathomable power.

Originally dragons in the water, who could hold their breath underwater for several hours,

the three Ruan brothers were like tigers with wings added after getting the breath-holding secret technique, and they could travel across the eight-hundred-mile water marsh.

And Zhang Jie taught Lu Zhishen the "Demon-Subduing Staff Technique" among the seventy-two Shaolin stunts.

However, Lu Zhishen disliked this "Demon-Subduing Staff Technique" for being too strict,

and not free at all, so he modified it himself,

turning the "Demon-Subduing Staff Technique" into the "Crazy Demon Staff Technique" that looked like a crazy demon.

When Wu Song and others suspected whether Lu Zhishen was possessed by a demon, Zhang Jie was pleasantly surprised:

Although he drank and ate meat and killed many people, Lu Zhishen, who truly possessed Buddha nature, had understood the true meaning,

his body was like a crazy demon, his heart was compassionate, killing was to protect life, and cutting karma was not cutting people.

Since then, Lu Zhishen made rapid progress in the "Crazy Demon Staff Technique," and his power increased greatly,

which was why he could defeat Luan Tingyu, who should have the strength of a Heavenly Star, with one staff in today's battle.

"I wonder if I have the honor to see the Zhang Zhaizhu's divine art?"

Luan Tingyu stared at Zhang Jie, wanting to see if the Flower Monk's statement was true.

"Good."

Zhang Jie agreed happily; no matter how well you say it, it is not as good as doing it yourself.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

He reached out and pressed lightly on the Eight Immortals table.

After he lifted his hand, a palm print that was an inch deep and with clear palm lines appeared on the table.

"This, this..."

Luan Tingyu was shocked and speechless.

How could this be done by human power?

This was simply a hundred times more shocking than Lu Zhishen defeating him with one staff.

If Lu Zhishen was still a strong man in the human world,

then Zhang Jie was simply a Heavenly Dragon that couldn't be seen by the head or tail in the sky!

"Lord is above, please accept Luan Tingyu's bow!"

Luan Tingyu was convinced and bowed respectfully to Zhang Jie.

"Instructor Luan, please get up quickly."

Zhang Jie helped the bowing Luan Tingyu up gently.

'Such a person, such a person!'

Seeing Zhang Jie as gentle as ever, and not proud because of revealing great skills,

Luan Tingyu finally knew why Lu Zhishen was full of reverence when he talked about Zhang Jie before.

"Instructor Luan, what aspect do you want to learn?"

As Zhang Jie began to teach Luan Tingyu martial arts methods,

this Zhu Family Manor's spear and staff instructor officially joined his command and joined Liang Shan.

Of course, before fully determining Luan Tingyu's loyalty,

Zhang Jie did not teach him the full book, but only a part of the practice and luck.

And this small part also benefited Luan Tingyu a lot.

After Zhang Jie personally helped him move several cycles, his stomach, which was hit by Lu Zhishen's punch today,

and was still faintly painful even several hours later, felt warm, and the pain disappeared... ===== CHAPTER 189 =====
