Chapter 48 - Jiu Mozhi's Assault

On the fourth day, a Monk called Ku Rong came to the Scripture Pavilion.

Looking at the Monk who had an aged face, Ling Xiao could tell that he had not been here for long, because his cassock was completely covered in dust.

”Master Ku Rong, what are you here for?” Ling Xiao clasped his hands together, and politely asked.

Someone who was able to casually enter the Scripture Pavilion at his age must be a high monk from the Sky Dragon Temple. He must also have some sort of status, so it was normal for Ling Xiao to be a little polite to him.

When Ku Rong heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. Obviously, he was surprised by Ling Xiao's reaction, because his dressing was ordinary and he would normally be mistaken for an ordinary administrative officer. However, Ling Xiao was clearly able to tell that his position in the Sky Dragon Temple was not ordinary.

”Sect Master Ling, Old Monk should have been wandering around lecturing, but the host had sent a message saying that Jiu Mozhi was about to arrive, and at the same time, entrusted Sect Master Ling to learn six-veined divine sword to help protect against the invaders, and Old Monk was one of the few who studied six-veined divine sword, so she was summoned back to provide guidance for Sect Master Ling.” Ku Rong explained the reason why he came back.

Hearing these words, Ling Xiao nodded and said, ”So that's how it is. Master Ku Rong has travelled thousands of miles to come back just to teach them.

”If I can really defend the sect against the invaders, no matter how tired I am, it would be worth it.” Ku Rong bowed slightly as he responded.

Hearing that, Ling Xiao knew that the people who were proficient in six-veined divine sword did not exist, otherwise, they would not have given such an absolute art to an outsider, and at the same time, summon their senior to teach.

This meant that they themselves did not understand the six-veined divine sword clearly.

”The Master Ku Rong has a point. If not for the fact that the culprit was too powerful, the host would not have chosen to come here to practice the six-veined divine sword.” Ling Xiao said.

When Ku Rong heard this, he sighed helplessly, and said, ”In the past, the Sect Leader had regarded this absolute art too highly, and had kept it locked in the Scripture Pavilion all year round. The disciples in the Sect basically had no fate, and only great monks like me have the chance to scout it out, but for us old people, we don't have the energy to practice it with all our might.”

Hearing that, Ling Xiao finally understood why there were only a few people who knew the unique technique of the Sky Dragon Temple, but, was it possible for this technique to change the current situation?

Ling Xiao shook his head and said: ”Actually Master Ku Rong doesn't need to be too sad, because I have also read that ancient book. Although the six-veined divine sword is in your hands, I ask myself, how many people truly understand it?”

Master Ku Rong became silent. After a long while, he let out a heavy sigh, raised his head, and said somewhat despairingly: ”Sect Master Ling has understood that the seniors who wrote this absolute art were too intelligent, and did not even consider the feelings of us mortals.”

”However, Master Ku Rong need not be too sad. After all, this is an absolute art and I believe that I can use its power.” Seeing that, Ling Xiao could only find a random reason to comfort his.

Ku Rong shook his head, obviously not wanting to pursue this matter any further.

Then, Ku Rong asked: ”Sect Master Ling, Old Monk heard from the host that your disciple is learning the six-veined divine sword?”

Ling Xiao nodded, then pointed to Duan Yu and said: ”That's right, this is my first disciple, Duan Yu.”

”So you are a prince of the Dali, I have heard of you before.” After Ku Rong heard this, he nodded towards Duan Yu.

Duan Yu also quickly clasped his hands together and bowed.

”Then let's cut the crap. There's only one or two days left, Jiu Mozhi can come at any time, so let's hurry up. Gongzi Duan, what don't you understand? Please do not hesitate to ask Old Monk. ” Ku Rong said.
