In the side hall of the palace, everyone sat down.
"I wonder if Young Master Hen has something important to discuss?”Duan Zhengming asked with a smile.
He was very experienced in the ways of the world. He knew very well that the other party had specially come here. It was definitely not just to let his wife acknowledge her family.
"There is indeed something." Starstreak nodded. "Have you heard of the name Jiu Mozhi?”
Hearing this, Duan Zhengming asked doubtfully. "But that Great Snow Mountain's Great Wheel Deity?”
"That's right."
Starstreak said with a smile. "In a few days, he will pay a visit to the Heavenly Dragon Temple of Dali. In the name of sparring with the Buddhist Dharma, he actually wants to snatch the supreme martial arts of the Duan Clan of Dali, the Six Pulses Divine Sword!”
" What?!"
Duan Zhengming suddenly stood up, and Duan Zhengchun was also shocked.
After a while, Duan Zhengming finally reacted and asked. "Young Master Scar, is what you said true?”
"If you don't believe me, you can go to Tian Long Temple tomorrow and see for yourself.”Starstreak laughed.
"Please help!" Duan Zhengming bowed.
He knew very well that the Great Wheel Wisdom King Jiu Mozhi was the Guardian King of the Tubo Kingdom. He had great wisdom and was proficient in Buddhism.
Every five years, they would hold an altar to preach the scriptures. The eminent monks and great virtues from all over India in the Western Regions would gather at the Bigwheel Temple to hold the scriptures and ask questions. All of them would leave happily. Even he himself had thought of going to listen to the scriptures.
Now that Starstreak had mentioned it, it seemed like Jiu Mozhi was a fellow cultivator. How could such a wise person practice martial arts?
The Heavenly Dragon Temple was Dali's national temple. If anything were to happen to it, not to mention him as the Emperor, the entire Duan clan would probably be finished.
Seeing his big brother like this, Duan Zheng Chun also knew that this matter was not small, so he also bowed. "Please do it for my daughter's sake…"
"There's no need to do this."
Starstreak interrupted him with a smile. "Since I'm here, I don't intend to stand idly by.”
After all, that was a Six Meridians Divine Sword that was comparable to laser weapons. With Jiu Mozhi's top-notch internal strength, how could he remain indifferent?
Duan Zhengming didn't know what he was thinking and still said gratefully. "I will remember Young Master's kindness.”
The next morning.
Starstreak woke up early and finished washing up. He had a good time with the two ladies on the bed.
The two women knew what he was about to do and reminded him to take good care of himself and be careful. To them, nothing was more important than their husbands.
Everything was ready.
Starstreak rode on a horse that he had already prepared and rushed to Heavenly Dragon Temple with Duan Zhengming.
Tianlong Temple is located in the north of Yuefeng in Diancang Mountain outside Dali City. It bears Cangshan Mountain on its back and faces Ershui River. It is very beautiful. There are three pagodas in the temple, built in the early Tang Dynasty. The largest one is more than 200 feet high and has 16 levels. On the top of the pagoda is an iron-cast inscription: "Yuchi Jingde, Zhenguan of the Great Tang."
It was said that the Heavenly Dragon Temple had five treasures, and these three pagodas were the first of the five treasures.
Dali believed in Buddhism, and the Duan royal family had been emperors for generations. When one of the Five Great Emptiness came to pass, they would give up the throne, give up their concubines, and become monks. Therefore, although this Heavenly Dragon Temple was not as famous as Mount Song's Shaolin Temple, it was the most special temple in the country and had the highest status.
After every emperor became a monk, his descendants would go to the temple to worship on his birthday. Every time they worshipped, they would give alms and offer decorations. The temple has three pavilions, seven floors, nine halls and 100 buildings. It is large in scale and exquisite in construction.
Even the famous mountains and temples in the Central Plains, such as Wutai, Putuo, Jiuhua, and Emei, were rarely comparable. It was just that they were remote in the southern border, so their names were not prominent.
Now, the abbot of Heavenly Dragon Temple was Master Benyin.
Duan Zhengming said bluntly after meeting Benyin. "I heard that the Tubo Imperial Teacher has recently invaded, so Zhengming and my nephew in law have come to help.”
"How do you know about this?" Ben asked in confusion.
Duan Zhengming looked at Starstreak and was about to speak when he heard a deep voice coming from the hall. "Since Zhengming is here, call him in.”
"Yes, Uncle-Master."
Starstreak knew that it was Ku Rong who was speaking. Calling Duan Zhengming in should be to impart the Six Pulses Divine Sword Technique.
Although Starstreak was Duan Zheng Chun's cheap son-in-law, he was also considered half a member of the Dali royal family. However, the Six Pulses Divine Sword wasn't passed down to anyone other than the Duan Clan's direct descendants, so it was impossible for him to enter and listen.
Therefore, he smiled knowingly. "I can stay outside."
"Sorry for neglecting Young Master Scar."
Duan Zhengming cupped his hands and followed Ben Yin into the main hall.
Starstreak smiled as he looked at the tightly shut door. He used the Breath Holding Art and jumped onto the roof like a ghost. He gently lifted a tile and could see the inside of the room clearly from this angle.
Inside the hall.
Duan Zhengming was holding an extremely thin golden letter in his hand and carefully reading it. After a moment, he said angrily, "Jiu Mozhi is too much!"
That's right, Jiu Mozhi's letter was on the golden paper.
This person was so absurd to want to burn the Six Pulses Divine Sword to Murong Bo. It was obvious that he did not put the Heavenly Dragon Temple in his eyes.
Then, he raised his head and said. "Grandmasters, why don't you let my nephew in law fight against the Imperial Tutor for a while?”
"Zhengming, the Great Wheel Deity has indicated that he wants to come to the Heavenly Dragon Temple to ask for the Six Pulses Divine Sword Scripture. If we invite outsiders to help us, even if we win, what face will we have?”Ben paused.
Duan Zhengming nodded in understanding.
Ben Yin said. "Uncle-Master estimated the enemy's situation. If we didn't quickly master the Six Pulses Divine Sword, I'm afraid that the treasure scripture would inevitably be taken away and Heavenly Dragon Temple would suffer a crushing defeat. However, this Divine Sword Kung Fu was mainly based on internal energy and could not be completed in a hurry. Uncle thought of a shortcut. Everyone cultivated one path and the six of them attacked together. Although it's an unfair victory to fight six against one, we're not fighting him alone. We're protecting the temple. Even if a hundred people fight him, it's fine, but…"
Duan Zhengming saw the guilt in Ben Yin's eyes and understood what he meant. He smiled and said,""It was Zhengming's wish to surrender to Buddha. As long as he can help Heavenly Dragon Temple defeat the strong enemy, Zhengming is willing to shave his head and become a monk.”
"Very good. Zhengming, come here. I'll shave your hair.”Master Ku Rong suddenly said.
After Duan Zhengming finished shaving his hair, Ben Yin took out the sword manual of the Six Pulses Divine Sword and hung it on the wall. He began to explain it one by one.
On the roof, Starstreak had a panoramic view of everything.
