LRAB Chapter 68: Opportunity
Chapter 68: Opportunity
In Qian Jin's memory, although he had taught Yang Guo to act prudently and not to show off, he didn't seem to have specifically mentioned that he should stay away from women!
Yang Guo said with a serious expression:
"Master, since you haven't been in Quanzhen for many years, I often exchange martial arts techniques with Senior Brother Yin."
Later, Senior Brother Yin told me that in addition to instructing him in martial arts, you had also advised him to be detached from worldly desires, stay away from women, and never let women ruin his life.
After much contemplation, Senior Brother Yin finally realized that women would affect his cultivation speed.
After that, he practiced martial arts diligently, and his skills indeed improved greatly.
I got along very well with Senior Brother Yin, and we were even friends despite our age difference. So Senior Brother Yin taught me all his insights.
I practiced according to the instructions, and sure enough, my martial arts skills improved greatly.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin stared blankly at Yang Guo and said:
"When did you and Yin Zhiping become such close friends despite your age difference?"
Yang Guo chuckled upon hearing this and said:
"Speaking of which, Master also deserves credit for this."
When my senior sister Cheng Yaojia and I were making clothes for our master, we asked senior brother Yin to be our model. Over time, we became closer and eventually developed into a close friendship despite our age difference.
Qian Jin nodded upon hearing this and said:
"It's good that you and Yin Zhiping have become friends despite the age gap."
After saying that, Qian Jin immediately changed the subject and continued:
"Guo'er, during the day, the Golden Wheel Dharma King was causing trouble here, so I didn't have time to ask you in detail."
I remember you told me that Ouyang Feng taught you the reverse version of the Nine Yin Manual, and that after he learned the normal Nine Yin Manual that you told him about, he regained his senses.
I'm very curious; his erratic behavior over the years, could it be related to his practice of the Nine Yin Manual in reverse?
Yang Guo said upon hearing this:
"I'm not too sure about that either, but in short, after he comprehended the Nine Yin Manual, he sat in meditation for three days and three nights."
When he got up, he was no different from a normal person.
Qian Jin pondered for a moment upon hearing this, and then said:
"Here's what we'll do: tell me a few times about the reverse Nine Yin Manual that he taught you, and I'll see if I can find anything out from his cultivation method."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo immediately began to explain to Qian Jin in detail the reverse-style Nine Yin Manual that Ouyang Feng had taught him.
After reading it once, Yang Guo asked anxiously:
"Master, that's all the reverse-style Nine Yin Manual my godfather taught me. Have you discovered anything else?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin calmly replied:
"This method of practicing the Nine Yin Manual in reverse is indeed profound. Please explain it to me a couple more times so that I can fully comprehend it before drawing any conclusions."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo immediately accepted the order and began to recount the story earnestly once again.
After three attempts, Qian Jin's proficiency panel finally had another line added.
Reverse Mastery of the Nine Yin Manual (Beginner): 0%
At the same time, he also gained some understanding of the method of practicing the Nine Yin Manual in reverse.
Ouyang Feng was indeed a martial arts prodigy; he actually managed to master the Nine Yin Manual in this way.
Qian Jin pondered for a moment, then said:
"Guo'er, I have carefully studied this reverse-cultivation Nine Yin Manual and I think there should be no problem with this technique."
Therefore, Ouyang Feng's madness back then was probably not solely due to the martial art itself; perhaps he accidentally suffered a qi deviation, or there were other reasons as well.
Yang Guo was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, and said:
"Unfortunately, after my godfather regained his senses, although he said a lot to me, he didn't mention how he went mad."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"It's alright. Now that Ouyang Feng has regained his senses, you can just ask him directly when you see him next time."
"By the way, you said Ouyang Feng fused his reverse-practiced Nine Yin Manual with the Nine Yin Manual I taught you. I wonder if he taught you the method of fusion?"
Yang Guo shook his head upon hearing this and said:
"After my godfather regained consciousness, he seemed to have something urgent to do, so after talking to me, he left alone."
He didn't tell me what he was going to do.
Urgent matter? Ouyang Feng has been insane for over ten years, what urgent matter could he possibly have to do?
Is he going to seek revenge on Guo Jing and Huang Rong for teaching him a fake version of the Nine Yin Manual, which ultimately drove him insane? If that's the case, judging by the timeline, he should have found Guo Jing and Huang Rong long ago to take his revenge!
But now Guo Jing and Huang Rong haven't even seen a shadow of Ouyang Feng, so it can't be revenge.
What else can he do?
It seems that Ouyang Feng has no relatives left in this world except for his adopted son, Yang Guo!
Qian Jin couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and said:
"Guo'er, you must be tired today, so go home and rest early!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo immediately accepted the order and left.
After leaving Qian Jin's room, he had only taken a few steps when he saw Xiaolongnu walking towards him.
Upon seeing this, Yang Guo immediately bowed and paid his respects.
"Disciple Yang Guo greets Master's wife."
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl nodded and said:
"I've come to see your master. He shouldn't be asleep yet!"
"Yes, Master is still awake."
Yang Guo responded and then watched as Xiaolongnu entered Qian Jin's room.
It's already so late, and Master's wife is still coming to Master's room. It seems that Master and Master's wife must have been sleeping together for a long time.
Yang Guo watched from outside for a while, and seeing that there was no movement inside, he immediately tiptoed back inside.
I want to see what's inside the room.
But before he could even peek inside, Qian Jin's voice came from inside.
"Guo'er, you've sneaked back so late. Is there something else you need?"
Yang Guo was startled and quickly replied:
"Master, I just accidentally dropped something, so I came back to pick it up."
Having said that, he dared not linger any longer and quickly slipped away.
Not long after Yang Guo left, the light in Qian Jin's room also went out.
On a large tree in the distance, Huang Rong looked at Cheng Ying beside her and sighed:
"Junior sister, it seems that Miss Long won't be coming out, so even though you arrived early tonight, you won't have a chance."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying blushed deeply and said:
"Senior sister, what nonsense are you talking about? I just wanted to come and bring Brother Qian some late-night snacks, that's all."
Cheng Ying also felt wronged. If Huang Rong hadn't pulled her up, she would have already delivered the midnight snack to Brother Qian before Yang Guo even came out.
As a result of Huang Rong's actions, what should have been a straightforward matter has been turned into something clandestine.
Seeing Cheng Ying blush to her ears, Huang Rong assumed it was because Cheng Ying's words had hit a nerve.
So he continued:
"Junior sister, Young Master Qian and Miss Long are both talented and beautiful. They are truly an enviable couple."
At times like these, if you don't take the initiative, you might really have no chance at all.
