Chapter 79: The Shocked Duan Yanqing

~9 min read 1,676 words

Duan Yanqing's eyes went straight when he saw this, and he muttered in disbelief:

"Is there really a heaven-born genius in the world?"

He had practiced for many years, but he had only practiced One-Finger Zen to the fourth-grade realm.

With this, he was already a master of finger power that surpassed the time,

and only those old monks in Tianlong Temple who had sat for most of their lives could compete with him.

And when he fully operated his internal energy, he could only divide the One-Finger Zen power into six paths,

and barely light six sticks of Tibetan incense five feet away at the same time.

Although Zhang Jie only extinguished one candle at this time, it was hard to compare with him,

but you must know that Zhang Jie only listened to him recite the formula of One-Finger Zen once!

"A genius descending to earth, a genius descending to earth!"

Duan Yanqing exclaimed repeatedly.

Now he had no more little thoughts.

Even if he wasn't afraid of death, he already had a son.

Zhang Jie was not proud, and unlike what Duan Yanqing thought,

he had long shared the internal energy of One-Finger Zen from the Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie.

Even though the Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie didn't have the motivation to practice because the secret manual was a remnant,

under the blessing of his superior talent after sharing, he had already practiced One-Finger Zen to the sixth grade.

Duan Yanqing, who was worried about his child, soon threw his shock at Zhang Jie to the back of his mind.

"Now, can you tell me who my son is? Is he doing well?"

Duan Yanqing asked with a full face of anxiety.

He was afraid of hearing the news that his child was not doing well.

The experience of these years of traveling north and south told him

how miserable a child without a father would be.

Not to mention being bullied, it was also very common to be homeless and fight for food with wild dogs.

"Your son~"

Zhang Jie deliberately lengthened his tone.

Duan Yanqing, who seemed to have guessed the miserable life experience of the child, blamed himself:

"I am not a good husband, a good father! I am sorry for them!"

What made Duan Yanqing dumbfounded was that Zhang Jie continued in a light tone:

"They are all doing very well."

"Ah?"

The emotion was brewed, and Duan Yanqing, who was about to shed tears, could neither cry nor laugh.

Zhang Jie spread his hands innocently:

Who could say that the Princess of Zhennan, Dao Dao Bai Feng, and her son were doing badly?

Especially since the wife and son were the only ones.

Well, they were the only ones in the Dali capital.

Dao Dao Bai Feng's family power was very large, and she was a bit jealous,

so Prince Duan didn't dare to bring outside rooms like Ruan Xingzhu and Gan Baobao back to the Prince's Mansion.

"Then who exactly is the Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Duan Yanqing asked with some discouragement.

Now Zhang Jie didn't sell out, and said directly:

"She is the Dali Princess of Zhennan, Dao Dao Bai Feng."

"Dao Dao Bai Feng, the Guanyin Bodhisattva is actually Dao Dao Bai Feng?"

Duan Yanqing, who knew the answer, was completely dumbfounded.

He had guessed the identity of the Guanyin Bodhisattva countless times,

from the female believers who returned to Tianlong Temple to the female Daoists who stayed in Tianlong Temple,

but he never thought that she was actually the Dali Princess of Zhennan, Dao Dao Bai Feng.

"Princess of Zhennan Dao Dao Bai Feng, son, son!"

Duan Yanqing was like a blind monk who found the point.

He said with ventriloquism with difficulty:

"Duan Yu, is Duan Yu my son?!!"

Since Zhang Jie said that Guanyin Bodhisattva gave birth to a son for him,

and Guanyin Bodhisattva Dao Dao Bai Feng only had one son, then this son was his son.

Dao Dao Bai Feng only had this one son, Duan Yu, so Duan Yu was his son.

And what made him feel complicated was that Duan Zhengchun also only had this one son, Duan Yu!

What made him feel even more complicated was that the current Dali Emperor Duan Zhengming had no sons,

and Duan Zhengchun, who was born of the same mother as him, was very likely to be established as the Crown Prince.

And Duan Yu, as the "only son" of Duan Zhengchun, was the only heir to the future Dali Emperor!

"Is the cause and effect in the world so mysterious?"

Duan Yanqing muttered to himself.

That year, he was persecuted by treacherous officials and lost the Dali throne.

For these years, he regarded Duan Zhengming, who was supported by the powerful officials, as a mortal enemy,

and broke into the palace many times, wanting to kill him quickly.

Even Duan Zhengchun, the brother of Duan Zhengming, and his nephew Duan Yu were hated by association.

After many assassinations of Duan Wangming, who was protected by the old monks of Tianlong Temple, failed,

he aimed his spearhead at Duan Yu, who was the only future heir to Dali!

His heart was full of celebration at this time; if it weren't for Zhang Jie luring him to Leigu Mountain,

he would have almost mistakenly killed his son, and his son who was about to inherit the Dali throne!

As for whether Zhang Jie was colluding with Duan Zhengchun and others to deceive him,

so that he would give up his revenge on the Dali Duan family?

Duan Yanqing thought it was not necessary at all.

With Zhang Jie's martial arts, killing him directly would only take three or five moves,

and there was no need to fabricate such a lie to smear the Dali Duan family.

For Duan Zhengchun, who was about to inherit the Dali throne,

and the future heir to the throne, Duan Yu, such a lie is fatal!

Even Duke Zhou feared rumors and slanders,

let alone Duan Yu, whose legal right to the throne came entirely from blood inheritance.

"My wish is fulfilled; send me on my way."

Duan Yanqing was completely enlightened for a moment, like a high monk who had suddenly realized, and said peacefully.

He knew that Zhang Jie had not prepared to let them go down the mountain since he lured their Four Great Evils to Leigu Mountain.

He used to do the same thing, killing enemies and cutting off their roots.

Zhang Jie smiled shyly when he heard this: "The junior still has a request,

hoping that Crown Prince Yanqing can pass on his internal energy to the junior."

Although he had already obtained the complete version of "One-Finger Zen",

he didn't intend to let go of this One-Finger Zen internal energy gift package in front of him.

Or rather, Duan Yanqing's internal energy was his primary goal.

"So that's it." Duan Yanqing suddenly realized.

Zhang Jie had such profound internal energy at a young age,

so it turned out that his elders passed on the inheritance to him.

However, even so, Duan Yanqing did not look down on Zhang Jie.

Not to mention Zhang Jie's talent for being able to hit finger power of several meters after reading One-Finger Zen once.

Just saying that Zhang Jie could inherit such profound internal energy was a talent.

The major sects in the Jianghu would more or less pass on skills,

but even so, they didn't see them produce peerless masters with generational inheritance.

This is naturally not because the older generation is stingy with passing on skills,

but because they couldn't find a peerless successor who could inherit hundreds of years of internal energy!

Currently, Zhang Jie might be that peerless genius who only exists in theory!

"The old man can pass his internal energy to the little friend,

only hoping that the little friend can promise the old man a condition."

Duan Yanqing opened his mouth after thinking about it.

Zhang Jie nodded slightly: "Crown Prince Yanqing, please speak, and see if the junior has the ability."

He naturally wouldn't promise Duan Yanqing's condition in one go,

but if the condition was not difficult, he didn't mind promising it.

After all, although he possessed the "North Sea Divine Skill" that could forcibly seize internal energy,

whether the person being absorbed is willing to cooperate or resists strongly will have a great impact on the efficiency of absorbing energy.

The reason why he was able to inherit the internal energy of a sixty-year cycle from Wuyazi with seventy years of cultivation was largely due to Wuyazi's cooperation.

If forcibly seizing internal energy is robbery, then willingness is inheriting an estate.

Although robbery is convenient and fast, it can only get some floating wealth like gold and silver jewelry and household appliances, and it is difficult to cash in on real estate like houses and land.

Inheriting an estate is troublesome, but except for handing over a part of the inheritance tax (transmission consumption),

most of the other assets can be obtained.

Duan Yanqing used ventriloquism: "The old man has no other requests,

only hoping that the little friend can help my son when he is in danger."

With Zhang Jie's talent, the future Jianghu will be his Jianghu.

The promise of a peerless master might save Duan Yu's life.

"Parents love their children, so they plan for them far-reachingly."

Hearing Duan Yanqing's condition, Zhang Jie sighed in his heart.

Duan Yanqing was using his life to seek a guarantee for Duan Yu's future.

And like Duan Yanqing, the thing Wuyazi couldn't let go of before he died was his daughter,

Duan Yanqing was using his life to seek a guarantee for Duan Yu's future.

And just like Duan Yanqing, the person Wuyazi could not let go of most before he died was also his daughter, Madam Wang, Li Qingluo.

"In that case, I agree." Zhang Jie nodded.

Duan Yu's character made it worth his while to give him a hand in the future if the opportunity arose.
