The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 483 You Looted the Shaolin Sutra Library

Following the Yi Jin Jing, the Bei Ming Divine Art also proved its feasibility and superiority in this world. Yang Gai and Yang Ying passed their internal energy to Yang Shao, who was also practicing the Yi Jin Jing, completing the first step of the Bei Ming Divine Art: dispersing the energy. Later, with the help of Yang Xuyan's "Xiao Yao Yu Feng" divine art, he successfully mastered the Bei Ming Divine Art. Over the next month, Yang Xuyan personally captured over ten young monks from the Jing Nian Monastery to train them, directly advancing them to the Half-Step Xiantian realm. He then led his men away, leaving behind a tumultuous Jing Nian Monastery and a heavily guarded and suspicious Luoyang City.

Yang Yi and Yang Ke have a great demand for elixirs when practicing the Sunflower Manual. Although the new version of the Sunflower Manual does not require castration, it does require the use of some acupuncture point displacement methods. It would be best if they had a national medical expert to assist them. Moreover, they may be burning with desire after each practice, so the first thing they have to do is to reunite with their wives.

The eight brothers rushed all the way to Sichuan and Shu. With the support of the Buzhou people along the way, there was no trouble. Yang Yu and Yang Jun also took action a few times and severely hit the bandits along the way. Although their martial arts skills did not improve much, they felt much better.

Yang Xuyan did not bring him back to Chengdu as his brother, but sent him directly to the secret base of the Buzhou Anbu. Not only was the place beautiful with mountains and rivers around, it was also very secretive. There were hundreds of people from the Buzhou Anbu, as well as thousands of refugees and talents of all kinds. They built a fairly large village, opened up thousands of acres of terraced fields, and had thousands of acres of orchards. Although they were not self-sufficient in food, they had a lot of other outputs.

On the way, he picked up the wives of Yang Yi and Yang Ke, and sent a letter to the wives of the other brothers to let them rest and recuperate for the time being. If all seven wives disappeared at the same time, it would inevitably arouse Yang Guang's suspicion, which would be more trouble than gain. Yang Yi and Yang Ke chose the Sunflower Manual and entered the Buzhou Anbu. This base would be their home for a long time to come, so it was most suitable for the two wives to live here permanently.

Yang Guangjue was not an incompetent person. The seven brothers of the Yang family faked their death and escaped because Yang Xuyan had prepared for a long time. Although it seemed reasonable, it was not perfect. The biggest flaw was not in Yang Xuyan or the seven brothers, but in the seven wives.

Unless they could abandon their wives, there was a possibility of being discovered. This was the reason why Yang Yu, Yang Jun and others did not dare to gather all their wives in Sichuan. They could not confirm whether there were Yang Guang's spies around their wives. After all, the other party was the lord of the Central Plains and the controller of the current court. My grandfather Yun Dingxing was definitely not an exception.

They were afraid of being betrayed and had to be careful.

The Buzhou Anbu is the starting point of Yang Xuyan's great cause. It cannot be overemphasized that it has various mechanisms and traps for attack and defense. In addition, there are strange gates and Dunjia laid out in critical places. Even if an army of 100,000 comes to attack, it will not be able to break through in a short time. What's more, the terrain here is dangerous and it can only accommodate a hundred people. Any more will be a waste.

Yang Xuyan set up a library, and the techniques of papermaking, printing, and firing purple clay ceramics were also passed down. The wives of Yang Yi and Yang Ke were both from scholarly families and officials, so they were naturally well-educated. They were assigned the tasks of managing the book collection and promoting education, and were also taught the "Nine Yin Scriptures" and the ancient tomb school's martial arts, so that they had no time to indulge in idle thoughts.

The library contains all kinds of theories from hundreds of schools of thought, including scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, as well as a large number of military strategies and battle formations. The seven brothers can find everything they need. Yang Xuyan also arranges training tasks for them. Among them, Yang Yu and Yang Jun will inevitably have to go to the battlefield in the future. Zhao Zilong's Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear from the late Eastern Han Dynasty is the first choice, followed by the Golden Bell Cover from the Nine Yin Scriptures. Why don't you think it is the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art?

This martial art has rarely been successfully mastered in later generations. Even Yang Xuyan himself had to expend considerable resources and energy to achieve it. Aside from Yang Shao, who had begun practicing the Yi Jin Jing, others likely had little hope. However, the Taoist martial art of Golden Bell Cover is different. While it possesses the same iron-like body, it's much easier to master and boasts immense potential. Even Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng, who took the wrong path, earned the titles of Bronze Corpse and Iron Corpse, a testament to its exceptional nature.

What's more, the War God Technique itself has corresponding physical training skills to increase strength, and does not require other clumsy skills such as the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra to slowly waste time. The two of them also like these two skills very much. Yang Xuyan even urged them to practice equestrian and horse fighting, and once they broke through the innate level, they would be sent to the battlefield in the Western Regions.

When did the battlefield appear in the Western Regions?

"Our tyrant uncle also needs outstanding military achievements to advance in his cultivation of the War God Technique. He sent Master Shi to the Western Regions for a reason. We brothers are using his power to improve our martial arts, so why should we be polite? After all, the leader is Master Shi, so he is one of us. However, your identities must remain confidential. I will go out later to find a way to make a mask. There are always chances of mistakes when using makeup to disguise this time, so a mask is more convenient."

Yang Gai and Yang Ying had already begun cultivating the Bei Ming Divine Art and had absorbed the internal energy of a dozen or so monks from the Pure Mind Monastery. They had now reached the half-step Xiantian stage. They only needed to refine and utilize the energy for their own benefit, and then they would reach the Xiantian stage. Before then, however, they should refrain from absorbing any more internal energy from outsiders. Yang Xuyan had taught them Xiaoyao Sect martial arts such as the Tianshan Six Yang Palm and the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand. However, the latter also required a high level of skill, which was somewhat challenging for the two. He also gave them the "Great Shift of the Universe" and the "Shift of the Stars."

After Yang Yi and Yang Ke were added as wives, they officially began practicing the Sunflower Manual. Their daily lives were filled with misery, and the two wives, unable to bear the pressure, began to consider finding concubines for them. Knowing they would become the future ace of the Buzhou Anbu, Yang Xuyan officially inducted them into the Bu Tian Dao, passing down the Bu Tian Dao martial arts.

Apart from the six brothers, Yang Shao was the person Yang Xuyan valued the most. He placed one unique skill after another in front of Yang Shao, including "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art", "Dragon Elephant Prajna Art", "Sun-Changing Art", "One Hundred and Eight Arhat Fists", and even the 72 unique skills of Shaolin were displayed one by one, leaving the seven brothers of the Yang family stunned.

"Little brother, did you rob the Shaolin Sutra Library?"

"Even the Shaolin Scripture Library doesn't have this many magical secret manuals, right?"

Yang Xuyan chuckled. Most of these martial arts came from later generations. How could the Shaolin of today have them? There were countless martial arts memorized in his mind. Even if he copied ten books every day, it would take several years to write them all down. So he copied them selectively and put them in the library.

The library here has three floors above ground and two underground secret rooms. All martial arts that are not suitable for Anlong to see are hidden in the underground secret rooms. The underground secret rooms are more secretive and spacious than the upper floors. There are library rooms, training rooms, and secret passages leading to the outside world. It is the common secret of the Yang brothers.

After going out to choose their own martial arts, Yang Xuyan forced them to practice the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" and "Ling Bo Wei Bu". After the seven brothers learned about it carefully, they reached a consensus: they must fight for the right to practice these two martial arts for their wives.

These two skills were of great importance, and Yang Xuyan had not passed them on to outsiders. Even in the Buzhou Anbu, no one had practiced them. But now he easily agreed to his brother's request.

As for weapons, Yang Yu and Yang Jun chose spears and swords which were more conducive to their use on the battlefield. In addition to the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" spear technique, Yang also taught them the "Seventy-two Sword Techniques" of Ba Dao Yue Shan.

Yang Yi and Yang Ke practiced the Sunflower Manual, focusing on swordsmanship and hidden weapons. Yang Xuyan then passed down the Dragon City Sword Technique, the Five Mountains Sword Technique, and the Finger Magic. However, the Dugu Nine Swords required very high qualifications, so the two brothers gave up after studying it for three or five days.

The Xiaoyao Sect inherited by Yang Gai and Yang Ying did not have high requirements for weapons. They only chose hidden weapon techniques such as the Life and Death Talisman and the Finger Magic. In addition, they roughly learned the uses of the eighteen kinds of weapons. However, the Tianshan Zhemei Hand they practiced needed to be integrated into the martial arts of the world, and they had to understand it.

Yang Shao's internal energy was mainly based on Yi Jin Jing, supplemented by Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu and Vajra Indestructible Divine Kung Fu. Yang Xuyan chose the heavy weapon Panlong Stick for him, and taught him Dog Beating Stick Technique and Little Yaksha Stick Technique.

Yang Xuyan has always attached great importance to light skills. In addition to Lingbo Weibu, Jinyan Gong and Zongyunti are also the focus of his teaching. Other secret methods such as holding breath, releasing acupoints, healing, unloading force, and shrinking muscles and bones are not left out and are all handed over to his brothers.

Three months passed quickly, and Yang Xuyan finally left with peace of mind after Yang Yu and Yang Jun both reached the Xiantian stage. He had spent over a hundred thousand taels of silver supporting his seven brothers, and it seemed worth it now. Meanwhile, the cultivation of Yang Gai, Yang Ying, Yang Shao, Yang Yi, and Yang Ke was also on track, no longer requiring his daily supervision. However, it would take some time for them to see results, as even quick success methods varied in rank and had their own limits.

Moreover, as the wives of Yang Yi and Yang Ke were confirmed to be pregnant, their cultivation inevitably slowed down and stagnated.
