Lin Pingzhi smiled and said:
"Isn't this normal? If I weren't a Grandmaster, how would I dare to come and challenge the Southern Emperor?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ziliu gave a wry smile, then sat down on the ground without any regard for his image, and looked at Lin Pingzhi, saying:
"Hehe, no wonder you were able to get here. It turns out you really did get here through your own strength."
I previously thought you had gotten through the first three rounds by cheating and trickery.
It seems they have already lost!
Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi nodded and said:
"I have temporarily subdued Diancang Yuyin, and he will be unable to move for the time being."
The nameless woodcutter was also injured by me, struck by my sword. He is now too weak to fight again, but I estimate he has recovered somewhat by now.
As for that farmer, well, that guy tried to kill me outright, so he was a bit ruthless this time.
However, after resting for about six months, he should have recovered quite well.
As for your injuries, hehe, don't worry. My sword finger, with its scorching true energy, burned you the moment it pierced through.
So, there shouldn't be any problem with bleeding for now. However, when you treat the wound later, you'll need to remove the outer layer of charred flesh before applying the medicine.
Otherwise, this wound will never heal!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziliu's lips twitched, and he said:
"Isn't that a bit too harsh, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Pingzhi chuckled and said:
"Hehe, what's this? It's just a minor injury; it can be stitched up."
I'm not going to talk to you here anymore. You should tell me where the Southern Emperor is.
I've come here to challenge the Southern Emperor!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziliu immediately fell silent.
However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Amitabha! Excellent, excellent! Benefactor, this humble monk is here, please do not make things difficult for my disciple!"
As they were talking, a monk came out from behind the house.
"Master!" Zhu Ziliu said immediately upon seeing this.
At this moment, Lin Pingzhi raised an eyebrow and said:
"I never imagined you would actually become a monk!"
Chapter 637 Lin Pingzhi: "Master, I can resolve your inner conflict!"
"Amitabha, good, good!"
Looking at the Southern Emperor before him, Lin Pingzhi said with a puzzled expression:
"The dignified ruler of Dali has actually become a monk. This is truly a rare sight!"
It's truly rare to see someone actually relinquish that power and go to such lengths!
When I first heard that, I thought it was a joke, but it seems I was mistaken!
The Southern Emperor actually managed to let go!
Upon hearing this, the old monk put his hands together in prayer, said "Amitabha," and then spoke:
"This humble monk is no longer the Southern Emperor. This humble monk is Yideng. I greet this Benefactor Lin!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Pingzhi returned the greeting and said:
"Da Ming, Lin Pingzhi, has met Master Yideng."
Master, you must already know why I've come. Therefore, Master Yideng, could you please grant my wish?
Upon hearing this, the old monk Yideng smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Now that I have converted to Buddhism, I will naturally no longer engage in violence. This competition is simply inconvenient..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Pingzhi recalled what had happened before.
Before coming here, Zhang Chulan told Lin Pingzhi:
"Little Linzi, this Southern Emperor is probably a big monk by now."
Furthermore, he will no longer engage in casual martial arts duels with others as he did before.
However, this is not a big deal. I'll tell you a way to get him to cooperate with you!
……………
Thinking of this, Lin Pingzhi looked at Master Yideng and said with a smile:
“I understand that Master Yideng is unwilling to take action. However, I have something that can help Master Yideng resolve his inner demons.”
Of course, this might not be considered a mental demon for the master.
However, it's also a very good thing to have on my mind.
Many years ago, a Taoist priest came to the palace and sparred with an emperor.
The two sides had a very good relationship, but the emperor was a martial arts fanatic who neglected his beloved concubine in his pursuit of martial arts.
However, who would have thought that at this time, the Taoist's junior brother, who was in his prime, perhaps because of his innocent heart, ended up having some unpleasant things happen with that concubine.
Afterwards, the emperor and the Taoist priest found out about this, but the emperor, out of consideration for the Taoist priest's reputation and the relationship between the two, decided to intervene.
So he wanted to give the concubine to the Taoist priest's junior brother, but to his surprise, the Taoist priest's junior brother ran away in fear.
Later, the concubine became pregnant. When the emperor found out, he was angry, but he never thought of killing the mother and child.
They were simply placed in a place, given some necessities, and allowed to live on their own there.
But who would have thought that one day, a man in black would run into the palace and slap the little child.
Perhaps, at that time, that person believed that the child was the emperor's son, and that the emperor would inevitably expend a great deal of his power to save his son.
However, unexpectedly, due to certain events, the emperor did not intervene to save her, and in the end, the concubine's son died.
The concubine went mad and ran away. Later, she somehow learned martial arts skills.
They placed all the blame on the emperor and even attempted to assassinate him multiple times.
This matter must have become a knot in the emperor's heart; otherwise, he wouldn't have become a monk.
I wonder if what I said is correct?
Upon hearing this, Yideng fell silent for a long time before slowly speaking:
"Who are you, Your Excellency?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Pingzhi smiled slightly and said:
"Master! I can help you solve this problem."
Upon hearing this, Yideng fell silent.
Seeing this, Lin Pingzhi continued:
“Master, sometimes, inner knots can turn into inner demons, and monks are supposed to be detached from worldly desires. So, Master, have you achieved detachment from worldly desires now?”
Upon hearing this, Ichidō took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and said:
"Young friend Lin, do you have any ideas on how to solve this?"
"And how do you intend to resolve this? This humble monk does not wish to kill, nor does he wish for anyone to die because of this humble monk."
Upon hearing this, Lin Pingzhi smiled, his smile was very bright.
"I do have a way, and it's a pretty good one, but I don't know if you'd be willing to give it a try!"
Upon hearing this, Yideng fell silent and then said:
"If you can help me resolve this knot in my heart, I will agree to a duel with you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Pingzhi immediately smiled and said:
"Haha, in that case, Master Yideng, let's set off for Black Dragon Pool!"
Upon hearing this, Master Yideng said with some surprise:
"Black Dragon Pool, so she was in Black Dragon Pool?"
Lin Pingzhi: "I wonder if Master would be willing to go? Moreover, this time, we might have to go out to sea to a certain place!"
Upon hearing this, Yideng nodded and said, "Okay!"
However, this humble monk still needs to take care of the affairs of my four disciples!
Upon hearing this, Lin Pingzhi nodded and said:
"No problem, Master, it's lightweight!"
.......................................
Soon, a day had passed, and Master Yideng had made arrangements for all four of Yideng's disciples.
After learning about Itto's situation, the group originally wanted to go with him.
However, Yideng arranged for them to leave, especially the nameless woodcutter, who was arranged by Yideng to leave this place and go to the Dali Kingdom.
As for why, it's all thanks to the news brought by Lin Pingzhi: the Dali Kingdom might be in trouble.
Even though Master Yideng had become a monk, he was still the ruler of the Dali Kingdom, so it was impossible for him to pretend he knew nothing.
So, they sent the former general back to take a look.
Lin Pingzhi simply smiled at the matter and said nothing.
However, once Yideng had made the arrangements, the two set off immediately.
Both of them were grandmasters, and Lin Pingzhi was particularly skilled in speed, while Master Yideng possessed strength that had reached the late stage of grandmaster level.
Therefore, the two moved very quickly, and in just a few days, they arrived outside the Black Dragon Pool.
