Chapter 35 Six Meridian Divine Sword

Chapter 35 Six Meridian Divine Sword - A Version Based on Literal Meaning

There is a special kind of medical skill in the world of martial arts.

This medical technique is called... True Qi!
Healing wounds, detoxifying, stopping bleeding, and curing diseases—true qi is like a panacea, applicable to all kinds of situations.

Especially the Duan family of Dali.

The "One-Finger Divine Skill" passed down by the Duan family of Dali is arguably the strongest healing martial art in history, capable of healing both the elderly and seriously ill infants.

Ninety-nine percent of the world's miraculous elixirs, such as the Shaolin Great Rejuvenating Elixir and the Wudang Purple Gold Elixir, can only be taken by adults; the elderly and infants will not be able to tolerate them.

The same applies to healing-type martial arts techniques. The elderly are physically weak, and infants have fragile meridians. The slightest carelessness can lead to the worsening of the condition and cause greater damage.

There are very few martial arts techniques for healing the elderly, and even fewer for treating seriously ill infants.

Since the emergence of martial arts, the unique skills created by generations of renowned physicians have not exceeded a single palm strike in meeting this requirement; most of them can only alleviate pain.

One-Finger Divine Skill can be used for both offense and defense, and can be used to both attack and heal. It is the most gentle, mild, and comprehensive martial art.

Therefore, when members of the Duan royal family were seriously injured or fell ill, they would ask their elders to use the One-Finger Divine Skill to heal them. Duan Yu, as the heir apparent, was able to invite several highly skilled individuals to help him.

Unfortunately, Duan Yu had practiced the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.

The true energy that the Duan family experts poured into his body would be absorbed by the Northern Darkness Divine Art. This foreign true energy was extremely refined, pure, profound, and extensive, causing even more intense agitation.

The already restless alien energy erupted from the chest like a volcanic eruption.

Without an outlet for his emotions, Duan Yu would surely burst.

Just then, Duan Yu remembered the sword technique secrets taught by the mad old Taoist priest, and felt the urge to urinate. He subconsciously flicked his finger, using it as an outlet.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Three sword energies shot out from his fingertips.

The gate was blasted into pieces by the sword energy.

Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun were horrified.

When did Duan Yu learn this extraordinary skill?

Could this be... the Six Meridians Divine Sword?
Because the entry requirements for the Six Meridians Divine Sword are too high, even Emperor Duan Zhengming of Dali did not know how to use the Six Meridians Divine Sword. He had only heard that his family's ancestral sword manual was a sword qi technique.

This is a misunderstanding based on a literal interpretation of the text.

"Sword energy" is a sharp internal force emitted from the fingertips, eyes, toes, etc., and in most cases it is in the shape of a sword or condensed into the shape of an arrow.

The Six Meridian Divine Sword is a "Qi Sword," which condenses a sword more than ten feet long at the fingertips. The five fingers are used to thrust and stab, thus performing sword techniques. It belongs to the category of "condensing Qi into a weapon."

Duan Zhengming had never seen the Six Meridians Divine Sword before, so he was unaware of these intricacies and mistakenly believed that Duan Yu had received the inheritance of some ancestor and accidentally learned the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

Duan Zhengchun subconsciously suspected Duan Yanqing.

Could it be that Duan Yanqing has not let go of his hatred and found the sword manual at Tianlong Temple to frame Duan Yu?

What a cruel heart!

"Yu'er, how are you? Have you practiced swordsmanship recently? Has anyone taught you martial arts?"

"There's... there's a senior swordsman who's been teaching me swordsmanship in the dungeon of Wanjie Valley. I can't wait any longer!"

Duan Yu could no longer bear the pain and jumped up from the bed. His true energy erupted from all the acupoints in his body, and he flicked sword energy with his five fingers, causing half of the roof to shatter.

Duan Zhengming was about to step forward to take the challenge when Li Zhaoting, who happened to arrive, grabbed him. Li Zhaoting reached out and picked a camellia flower, sending its petals flying out.

Guided by the flow of energy, Duan Yu, using the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), flicked his fingers repeatedly, shooting out streaks of sword energy that knocked down the petals Li Zhaoting had flicked out. He then ran away at top speed.

Duan Yu's accompanying martial arts skills are really difficult to deal with.

The Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) allows for endless dodging!
The Northern Darkness Divine Skill, which absorbs internal energy!
The Manggu Toad, immune to all poisons!
An indestructible sword strike!
If Duan Yu had focused on martial arts training since childhood, coupled with this good fortune... you're overthinking it. If Duan Yu had been obsessed with martial arts secrets, he would never have had this opportunity.

"Brother Li, I can't control myself! You have to leave here! Someone has put a curse on me!"

After releasing some of his inner energy, Duan Yu regained some of his senses. Upon seeing Li Zhaoting, he immediately told Li Zhaoting to leave to avoid being injured by his madness.

"This is the backlash of the Northern Darkness Divine Art's true energy. Just let the foreign true energy out. Brother Duan, I'll spar with you for a couple of moves and help you release the true energy!"

"Is it really possible?"

"Don't worry, I'm a professional!"

Li Zhaoting used the Void Step technique, drifting through the air at a speed three times faster than Duan Yu, his hands grabbing repeatedly, his ten fingers blooming little by little like bougainvillea flowers.

The Flower-Picking Capture Technique!
Martial arts techniques treasured in the Southern Tang Dynasty's treasury.

One of the most exquisite grappling techniques in the world, this technique can be performed as long as there is even half an inch of space, enough to insert a fingertip, making it most suitable for close-quarters combat.

Duan Yu was in so much pain that he was about to faint. His consciousness, which had just been restored, quickly became hazy again. His mind was filled with endless pain and the sword techniques taught by the mad old Taoist.

In fact, the mad Taoist priest did not know the Six Meridian Divine Sword. Instead, he created a set of sword finger techniques based on his earth-shattering swordsmanship and interpretation of the text. When Duan Yu's extraordinary true energy erupted, he used this method to release the flood.

The purpose of making Duan Yu remember the feeling of holding in urine is to prevent him from forgetting the sword manual. It is essential to use the most common and ordinary metaphor so that Duan Yu remembers it to the bone.

Duan Yu knew nothing about martial arts; he only knew that each time he unleashed a sword aura, his body would feel a little better.

Originally hesitant to make a move for fear of hurting Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun, he now unleashed his attacks with unbridled abandon, his moves a mix of chaos and brilliance.

The mad Taoist's martial arts skills were unparalleled. Even his hastily created martial arts techniques, based on a literal interpretation of the text, were no less exquisite in their moves and ingenious in their swordsmanship than those of the Seven Great Sword Sects.

Li Zhaoting recognized this as his master's style. Instead of drawing his sword, he flicked his fingers rapidly, using his fingers to deftly point, poke, and thrust, dismantling the sword techniques.

Two handsome young men, one with an air of madness yet exuding elegance and kindness, the other with an air of elegance yet flashing with arrogance and wickedness, their movements light and graceful, their moves superb. The two fought hand-to-hand, their movements as beautiful as a song and dance.

Even the most famous dance masters in Dali do not possess such gentle, graceful, and naturally perfect dance steps.

"Zheng!"

The melodious sound of a zither drifted over.

Feng Suzhen plays "Pu'an Mantra".

The music of the demon-subduing zither can subdue demons on the outside and the inner demons on the inside.

Duan Yu felt like a sailor in the dark, suffering from a raging storm. Just when he was in despair, a lighthouse appeared in the distance, guiding him.

The throbbing pain gradually subsided.

Instead, there is an indescribable comfort.

Just as soldiers remove their heavy armor, camels unload their heavy loads, reservoirs release water, and ceaselessly flowing rivers find their tributaries.

The ethereal sound of a zither drifted from the clouds. Duan Yu stopped, closed his eyes comfortably, and lay softly on the cotton-like white clouds, wanting only to have a good sleep and never think about swordsmanship again.

"Clap!"

Li Zhaoting sealed Duan Yu's acupoints. Duan Zhengchun asked, "Nephew Li, was Yu'er poisoned? How did he become like this?"

Li Zhaoting explained: "When Brother Duan was traveling, he received the inheritance of the Xiaoyao Sect and mastered the Beiming Divine Skill. This method can absorb other people's true energy for one's own use. However, Brother Duan's mental cultivation method is incomplete. He only knows the method of absorbing other people's power and does not understand the method of integration. The more true energy he absorbs, the heavier his own burden becomes, just like a reservoir that keeps filling up with water!"

Is there any way to cure it?

"Either master the Northern Darkness Divine Art completely, release the alien true energy in time, or learn another way to resolve it and find an outlet for the true energy."

"Nephew, do you have any way to alleviate this?"

“I don’t have it, but Miss Blue does.”

Li Zhaoting pointed at Lan Fenghuang.

Lan Fenghuang stepped forward boldly: "I am Lan Fenghuang of the Five Immortals Sect. You are Duan Zhengchun? My father said you are not a good person and told me to stay away from you!"

Duan Zhengchun gave an awkward smile.

Dao Baifeng glared at Duan Zhengchun.

Duan Zhengming shook his head helplessly.

Lan Fenghuang's father is sometimes clueless, but when it comes to judging people, he is often very accurate.

Even though Li Zhaoting beat up the Five Immortals Sect elder and kicked him more than ten meters away, he still thought Li Zhaoting was a young hero and encouraged his daughter to pursue him passionately.

Why did Duan Zhengchun receive this evaluation?

In the world of martial arts, when it comes to "heartbreak," one can never avoid mentioning Miao women and Miao witchcraft. Miao women are passionate, and Duan Zhengchun was even more so, clearly having some romantic pasts.

In the past twenty years, the Five Immortals Sect has had several talented disciples ruined by scumbags, and they deeply resent scumbags.

If Duan Zhengchun hadn't been the future emperor of Dali, his house would have been crawling with Gu worms long ago, and the Five Immortals Sect would never have minded showing the world the power of "Ten Thousand Gu Devouring the Sky".

Duan Zhengming smiled and said, "The young lady seems to be from the Miao village of Moon Mountain. How about this, you save Yu'er, and I'll send ten cartloads of salt to your tribe?"

Lan Fenghuang nodded: "Deal!"

"What medicinal herbs does the young lady need?"

"Mugwort! Leeches! Sour soup!"

Blue Phoenix does indeed know how to treat heterogeneous true energy.

In the original story, Linghu Chong was seriously injured because seven or eight different kinds of internal energy were trapped in his body. Lan Fenghuang used leeches to exchange blood to relieve Linghu Chong's internal injuries.

Although it did not cure the illness, it could temporarily suppress the pain.

Unfortunately, Lan Fenghuang overdid it by giving Linghu Chong the Five Treasures Flower Honey Wine. Linghu Chong, being too weak to handle the tonic, suffered aggravated injuries, adding poison to his internal wounds.

Medicine should not be used indiscriminately.

A tonic is not necessarily a tonic.

Poison is not necessarily poison.

Treatment must be tailored to the specific condition.

In the past two years, besides Gu poison, Lan Fenghuang has devoted herself to studying medicine and has become quite accomplished in Miao medicine.

They used leeches to draw some blood from Duan Yu, then used mugwort to perform moxibustion, and finally gave him a bowl of sour soup.

Duan Yu coughed loudly, regaining his senses.

Li Zhaoting joked, "Brother Duan, we really should be brothers. You are my junior brother."

"what?"

"Who taught you your swordsmanship?"

"A crazy old man."

That person is my master.

"Actually, I don't want to learn martial arts..."

"That's what I said back then."

"and then?"

"My master casually swung a sword beam, leveling the mountaintop by three or four feet. I touched my neck and found it wasn't as hard as the mountaintop, so I immediately knelt down and became his disciple."

"Has the old man always been this strange?"

"There are times when things are normal."

"Oh~~"

Duan Yu responded weakly.

Previously, the alien energy was restless, and Duan Yu swelled up like an inflating balloon. Afterwards, he released the alien energy by opening the floodgates, leaving his body exhausted.

Duan Zhengchun asked, "Nephew Li, who is your master, a senior figure in the martial arts world? I've never heard of him before."

"I haven't heard of it either!"

"What are your teacher's preferences?"

"To force someone to do something they don't want to do, to pick a fight."

"This one……"

"Uncle Duan, there's no need to worry. When my master isn't cheating his apprentice, he's a very upright person."

"What about when you're betraying your apprentice?"

Duan Zhengchun keenly grasped the key points.

"Look at me, I'm still alive!"

Li Zhaoting vowed that one day, when Lao Deng was lying in bed, he would definitely paint two pictures.

—A filial son removes tubes from his sickbed!

—Lu Bu's painting depicting the sun breaking through the clouds!
Duan Zhengchun gave him a pleading look.
