Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 5: Dingguang Compassionate Palm

But what surprised Pei Nai the most was not this, but that after he placed his palm on the ground, all the objects suspended in the air fell to the ground steadily.

Apart from the wide-open doors and windows, Pei Nai could hardly find any trace of the palm strike made by Elder Zhong just now.

What kind of control is this?

Able to control the wind with Qi, while controlling the power and exercising in moderation.

Pei Nai was surprised.

He paused for a moment, then started again.

But this time there was no trace of the gentleness from before, instead he became fierce and domineering.

The winds were controlled by the palm technique, pushing wildly in all directions with a fierce and aggressive attitude, as if they wanted to devour everything.

Pei Nai knew very well that if it weren't for Senior Zhong's deliberate control, the surrounding walls would have been destroyed.

"This is the first move of the Palm of Ten Thousand Hatreds. Pay attention to the trajectory of your hand movements. Someone once commented: 'Ten thousand hatreds are released, and heaven and earth are weeping.' After I became enlightened, I can no longer reach this level. I have lost the essence of the Palm of Ten Thousand Hatreds, so I can only grasp some of its meaning. You can use it flexibly."

Pei Nai was fascinated by it, and his hands imitated it involuntarily, but he always felt that his hands were empty, without the surge of wind.

"What's important is not the precision of the movement, but the control of wind force and direction. The palms of thousands of people are different. You need to close your eyes and move your body to feel the path of the wind." Senior Zhong reminded.

Pei Nai exhaled and did as he was told.

She stopped her movements and tried to feel the collision and interaction of the wind in each move of the Ten Thousand Hate Palm.

There was no way out at first.

Pei Nai concentrated all his energy on experiencing it, until his head felt dizzy and his veins were throbbing, but he still didn't know why.

After carrying on for a while, a cool breeze suddenly blew across her nose, followed by several wisps of fine wind coming in.

She suddenly had an unprecedented feeling, as if she was in the ocean, drifting in the waves.

These gentle and subtle forces gradually merged into a strong wind that swept away into the distance.

Pei Nai opened his eyes in disbelief.

Senior Zhong on the opposite side just stopped pushing the vehicle sideways to the ground and nodded with satisfaction.

"You are very talented in martial arts, worthy of being his descendant." Senior Zhong praised.

Pei Nai said hurriedly: "Senior, thank you for your compliment."

"The second move, Lihentian!"

In an instant, a strong wind blew up, bringing with it a majestic momentum like an overwhelming sea.

Pei Nai did not dare to be careless and observed the moves of the Ten Thousand Hate Palm intently. When Senior Zhong taught him the second time, he closed his eyes and tried to explore the movement trajectory of the wind in each move.

She gradually immersed herself in it and forgot the passage of time.

Pei Nai waited for a moment until Senior Zhong stopped what he was doing. When he found that the wind had stopped flowing and the surroundings became quieter, he opened his eyes.

Pei Nai's eyes were still filled with anticipation for new things.

"This is the fifth move I have taught you." Senior Zhong said helplessly.

Pei Nai came back to his senses and asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time: "What about the Dingguang Compassion Palm?"

"When the time comes, it will come naturally to you."

Then Pei Nai held back his words and looked at Senior Zhong quietly.

The senior took a sip of tea, glanced at her, and asked, "Anything else?"

"I am a dull junior and have only understood some superficial things. Could you please teach me a few more moves?" Pei Nai felt itchy on his face, perhaps because his skin had become thicker.

Senior Zhong smiled and shook his head, as if remembering something, and sighed, "Another martial arts fanatic."

He attacked again, using a new move, the Ten Thousand Hate Palm.

Pei Nai didn't dare to hesitate, because this was the Palm of Ten Thousand Hates that had been lost in the martial arts world for nearly two hundred years.

If it were to come out again, what kind of sensation would it cause?
Pei Nai didn't even dare to think about it.

All I know is that every move made by Senior Zhong at this moment is worth a fortune.

After a long time, Senior Zhong stopped again.

But Pei Nai still looked at him eagerly, which was self-evident.

Elder Zhong looked at Pei Nai with eager eyes and said nothing, but handed her the porcelain cup filled with tea. Pei Nai hesitated.

But when she thought about it, the person in front of her not only saved her life, but also taught her magical skills, how could he harm her life?

"Thank you, senior. I have just been asking you for advice on martial arts, but before I could ask you why you called me back?" Pei Nai took the teacup, took a sip, and said.

"You'll know."

After hearing these words, Pei Nai, who had just swallowed the tea, began to feel dizzy.

I felt like everything around me was shaking and the world was spinning.

Elder Zhong's voice also began to slowly become illusory: "The Tathagata said that when a person's body grows, it is not a big body, but is called a big body."

Before she fell, Pei Nai heard the last words that Senior Zhong said to her, "Go back, someone is waiting for you."

Duanding Mansion.

It was already midnight, the second watch, when Lin Shengtao walked into the ancestral hall.

The inner hall was brightly lit with flickering lights.

Lin Shengtao sighed, walked to the guard standing outside the door, and asked, "Is the master not out yet?"

The guards nodded: "From last night till now, I haven't had a drop of water."

Lin Shengtao sighed heavily again.

He had only served under Duke Duan Ding for a few years and had never seen Duke Duan Ding's original wife. He had only heard about her deeds.

The reflection of the candlelight flickered on the window paper.

Lin Shengtao walked forward and knelt down in the open space in the yard.

He bowed to the tightly closed inner hall door, and because he didn't dare to make too much noise in the ancestral hall, he deliberately lowered his voice and reported: "Master, this afternoon a woman robbed a horse pulling a carriage in the street, knocked down the guards who blocked her way, and rushed out of the city gate without being tried. The matter was a bit serious. According to the law, she should be imprisoned for a period of time, but I sent someone to investigate and found that the woman is Madam Ju's niece."

He looked up at the window and continued, "Ju Yan has gone to Jinchuan to do some work and hasn't come back yet. I'm worried that this little girl might not be able to withstand the series of interrogations in the cell, so I came to report to you. Can you please suppress this matter and let Ju Yan handle it separately?"

Lin Shengtao knew that Duke Duan Ding must have heard what he said, but no reply came from the ancestral hall.

Just then, the housekeeper and several servants entered the yard.

The servants were holding various light vegetarian dishes in their hands, and the housekeeper had a worried look on his face, probably coming to persuade Lord Duan Ding to eat.

Lin Shengtao didn't dare to say anything more and continued kneeling where he was.

Butler Li walked towards the inner hall, made a cautious announcement, and only opened the door after hearing the response from inside.

The main door opened and Lin Shengtao saw the internal structure.

In the center of the ancestral hall were tablets of the Gu family's ancestors, with incense and various offerings beneath them. However, Duke Duan Ding was not sitting on the mat in the middle, but kneeling under the left wall five meters away.

The white wall there was empty, with only a painting hanging on it.

The woman in the painting is young and beautiful, wearing silver-black armor and smiling brightly.

The door closed again and Lin Shengtao could not hear any sound from inside.

He waited quietly outside for a while, and Butler Li pushed the door open again and walked out.

The servants followed Butler Li closely, seemingly fearful and unwilling to stay inside any longer.

The food was served out as it was without a single bite being touched.

Butler Li walked up to Lin Shengtao and said, "Master Lin, please get up quickly. I have agreed to Madam Ju's niece's request."

"Thank you, sir." Lin Shengtao bowed again and finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had given an explanation to Ju Yan.

"Master Lin, let's go together?" said Butler Li.

Lin Shengtao nodded, stood up, patted the dirt off his knees, and left the ancestral hall with Steward Li and others.

They were walking on the road outside the ancestral hall.

Butler Li suddenly said, "I heard about Madam Ju's niece. This little girl is also lucky that she chose today."

Lin Shengtao was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Butler Li seemed to recall events from many years ago and couldn't help but smile.

He shook his head and sighed: "This little girl's style of doing things is somewhat similar to Madam Yingwu."
