The third elder lord seemed to have not expected Yang Ning to be so decisive. He was stunned for a while, and the hall was deadly silent. All people were petrified.
After a long time, the corners of the third elder lord’s mouth twitched. “Can you make the decision?” He sneered. “I advise you to ask the dowager.”
“No need to ask.” A voice came from outside the door. All people paid attention to Yang Ning and didn’t notice what happened outside. Hearing the voice, everybody looked at the door at the same time.
They saw that Gu Qinghan with a nice figure supported one person to come in, who was short and humpbacked seriously with white hair all over the head. Seen at first glance, it was like a dwarf. But seeing this person, all people in the hall looked stiff. The people who were standing straightened their backs immediately and the elders who sat in the chairs stood up.
The dowager in the marquis’ mansion came out in person at this
Yang Ning knew that Gu Qinghan needed silver urgently now, so he was determined to get back all the tax silver next day.But today the dowager’s attitude surprised Yang Ning. She told everybody in public that she would let him manage the mansion, which caught him off guard.Although after Qi Jing died, the marquis’ mansion would be left to the heir sooner or later, it made Yang Ning feel curious as the dowager said that without hesitation.After all, not long ago, the heir of the Marquis of Honor was almost an idiot in everybody’s eyes, and the dowager certainly knew that. Just in a few days, she told him to manage the mansion, and any normal person would be astonished.But Yang Ning felt happy after breaking away from the Qi clan.Those people fawned upon the rich and powerful people and had their own ulterior motives. If they were tangled all the time, Yang Ning would dislike the Qi clan more and more, but now they h
Gu Qinghan almost burst into crying when she saw Yang Ning, whose eyes were closed and teeth were clenched. He looked pale and his body was even trembling slightly.Duan Canghai patted Yang Ning’s chest with his palm and he looked grim. But soon his expression changed greatly and it seemed that he wanted to withdraw his palm. However, he failed to raise his arm.Zhao Wushang couldn’t help but shout, “Canghai...”Duan Canghai’s body trembled. Suddenly he leaned back with his palm off Yang Ning’s chest, and finally sat on the ground. He cried, “So... so severe!”“Canghai, what is the problem?” Gu Qinghan asked hurriedly.Duan Canghai looked solemn and said, “Third Lady. There is a big problem with the Conception Vessel and the Chong Vessel.”“What do you mean? Does it matter?” Gu Qinghan really knew very little about meridian. She couldn’t understand and was so anxious, “Canghai, ask someone to bring the doc
When Yang Ning woke up, a beam of sunlight came in from outside the window, and it scattered in the room with light spots. He opened his eyes and looked around, only feeling very strange. He suddenly sat up and found the tingling sensation in his chest had disappeared.He composed himself and looked around. It was an ordinary wing room. There were two small windows with criss-cross window bars, through which the light was coming in.The furnishings in the room were very clean and concise. Besides the bed he slept on, there was another identical one on the opposite with some space between them two, which was very simple. Between the two beds, there was only a pine table and a few small pine stools. Tea cups and a teapot were on the table.The quilt and sheets on the bed opposite were gray-white, with no other colors, and they were folded square.On the opposite was a wall, and in the middle of it was a banner with a simple word, Qin
Yang Ning suddenly got angry, and Zhenming was stunned for a while. Then he said, “Ning, they are our senior fellow apprentices. Since they said that we can cultivate our minds if we eat less, they must be reasonable. Why do you get mad?”Yang Ning responded crossly, “Little monk, are you foolish? He just bullies you as you are young. Do you really think what they said makes sense?”“Amitabha.” Zhenming hurriedly put his palms together. “Ning, you can’t say something improper.”He was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he behaved like an adult. However, Yang Ning felt strange as he heard that the little monk called him junior fellow apprentice. He asked, “By the way, what is this peak’s name?”“The top of the Tianbao Peak,” Zhenming told Yang Ning everything he knew. “The three peaks of Purple Mountain, Beigao Peak, Xiaomao Peak and Tianbao Peak are like a penholder…”Yang Ning raised his hand and stopped him. “Y
Yang Ning was furious but more shocked.He knew that the little monk Zhenming was much more powerful in martial skills than him. Zhenming rolled backward briskly like clouds, but Yang Ning couldn’t do that anyway. He thought this was just an ordinary weak monk, but he misjudged unexpectedly and this monk was so awesome.The little monk moved lightly with enough power at an astonishing speed. Yang Ning’s fighting skill was not weak, but in front of this little monk, he couldn’t react in time.“Ning, will you chant scriptures at noon?” Zhenming asked again.Yang Ning knew that he met a powerful martial arts master. This monk was skilled in fighting and was stubborn, taking his master’s words as imperial edicts.At the moment, if he wouldn’t give up, he might suffer more losses.Yang Ning certainly knew that it was never too late to avenge himself and that a wise man does not fight when the odds are against h
Yang Ning was all smiles and told Zhenming to teach him Purity Scripture. The little monk was honest and taught Yang Ning. Yang Ning just thought that the formula of Purity Scripture was hard to read, though there were not many words. Zhenming chanted it for several times successively and then told Yang Ning to recite it. In this way, in less than two hours, Yang Ning could keep it in mind with difficulty.As Yang Ning expected, Purity Scripture was a mental cultivation method of genuine qi. He had thought that it was not easy to learn this method, but unexpectedly, after Yang Ning kept the cultivation method in mind, Zhenming didn’t delay but immediately taught him the way of breathing out and directing the strength according to Purity Scripture, and in less than two hours, Yang Ning knew how to direct the strength with this method.He knew the Skills of Six Directions. Although he learnt it with a muddled head in the past, after all, he had absorbed other
Some of the monks looked astonished, but most of them were used to it.Zhenbi stared at Yang Ning and sneered. “Aren’t you making trouble now? You think that you get too little food, so you dared to smash your bowl on the ground. Do you know how the Five Cereal Hall will punish the people who do something like this?”Yang Ning was stunned for a while and then sighed. “I thought it is a sacred place of Buddhism, but it turns out to be like society.”“What do you mean by saying that?”Yang Ning responded coldly, “Isn’t it said that there are many rules in the Temple of Great Light? It turns out that you can say anything randomly and it’s common to play the bully.” He asked, “You said that I smashed this rice bowl?”Zhenbi replied, “All of us have seen that. According to the rules in the temple, you can’t come to the Five Cereal Hall in the following three days. After three days, you will know how precious so much food is
Jingneng just looked cold and his expression didn’t change. He looked like a hot-tempered man, but he patiently listened to Yang Ning till the latter finished his words. As soon as Yang Ning stopped talking, Jingneng finally asked, “Are you done?”Yang Ning didn’t know if the wounds in his body were cured. Otherwise, he would have turned to leave.Jingneng continued, “You said something wrong. First, anybody should follow the rules in the Temple of Great Light after entering, no matter if he is a disciple or not. No matter how powerful or honorable you are outside the mountain, you need to forget your identity outside after you enter the temple.” After pausing for a while, he added, “Second, since the Temple of Great Light was established, none of the monks in the temple travels outside the mountain or spreads outside that all people are equal. Can you hear clearly?”Yang Ning was stunned.Jingneng stated slowly, “Many monks from o
