Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 1133 - 586: The Last Eccentric of the Martial World (Part 2)

The inside was very warm, with thick carpets laid on the floor and walls, and at a glance, it seemed even warmer.

Then, Duan Yun saw that person.

The person who made him nervous.

That person was lying on a thick, soft bed, with gray hair and shrunken beard, looking old and frail. Beside him was a gentle elderly woman.

It was evident that these two elderly individuals were of a very dignified breed.

But at the moment he saw them, Duan Yun felt a slight disappointment.

Because the two people before his eyes, no matter how splendid they might have been before, were now frail and aging.

Duan Yun respectfully saluted and said, "Seniors, I am Duan Yun."

The old man on the bed looked at him, smiled, and responded, "Shen Sanlang, father of Shen Ying."

The elderly woman beside also spoke, "Luo Ling, mother of Shen Ying."

"Stepmother."

She added another sentence.

Duan Yun did not expect that Shen Ying's parents would be so old.

The old man Shen Sanlang looked at him and said, "Are you disappointed?"

Duan Yun remained silent.

Shen Sanlang coughed and slowly sat up, as if this little action would exhaust all his energy.

"I am indeed an old man now, and I've heard some of your stories. I can assure you, the things I did when I was young were no less than what you've done."

"But I truly am old now; I'm not going to live much longer."

In Duan Yun's eyes, this old man indeed seemed to be at the end of his life, and even as a professional gynecologist, he could hardly prolong it further.

"A Taoist once told me that as long as I replace my heart with a young one and swap in some young blood, I could live longer. I just said, '**** your mother!' and beat him up."

After saying "**** your mother!" Duan Yun felt that he suddenly turned younger.

The elderly woman beside sighed and said, "You didn't just beat him up, you killed him, and held a grudge with that group of Taoists from Heavenly People City. I see you're really getting old and senile."

"Hahahahah, those Evil Demon, always trying to take hearts whenever they please, deserve to be beaten to death."

"Hahahahaha."

Afterward, the two old folks laughed heartily for a while.

Seeing the way they laughed, Duan Yun couldn't help but laugh as well.

There are some people who have a magical ability to easily infect others with their emotions.

After the laughter came silence.

Shen Sanlang looked slightly tired and said, "I am Shen Sanlang. My father's name was Shen Langlang, and my grandfather's name was Shen Lang."

Upon hearing the name "Shen Lang," Duan Yun's expression changed completely.

Though he came into the scene late, he had long known this name.

Shen Lang was "the last extraordinary man of the Martial World," said to be a master in all skills—music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and Martial Arts. The Red House Tower Master, famous for "return the validation," was like a toy in his hands.

It's said that the two most potential Tower Masters of the Red House were played to death by him together.

He earned the name "the last extraordinary man of the Martial World" because some believed he was immortal, appearing suddenly out of nowhere despite being presumed dead long ago.

Shen Sanlang said, "The world thinks my grandfather is immortal; in fact, my father and I inherited his name, and now it is coming to an end."

"The next inheritor of the 'Wang Chenghua's Precious Mirror' is Shen Ying. Whoever inherits the 'Wang Chenghua's Precious Mirror' must also take on the heavy responsibility of 'the clear Martial World.'

"Honestly, as an inheritor of 'Wang Chenghua's Precious Mirror,' predecessors long believed that the Martial World is getting worse, and all we can do is patch up. Because the Martial World has become increasingly sinister and uncontrollable after various incidents, while our strength has weakened."

"And because I've grown old and playful, with Shen Ying, things become even less stable."

The term "old and playful" was somewhat funny, but Duan Yun understood what he meant.

He was old, and Shen Ying was so young, obviously born to elderly parents, meaning what he could teach her was limited given his aged condition.

Shen Sanlang looked over and said, "I've let down many people in my life as Shen Sanlang, but the one I've let down the most is my daughter."

"After learning you mistreated her, I had thoughts of beating you up. Don't think I can't; even if I won't live two more days, I can manage that much."

While talking, his appearance momentarily blurred, seeming as if his spirit was leaving his body to become the sharpest weapon, making even Duan Yun feel threatened.

But at that moment, the old man's tone changed, saying, "But as a fellow man, I also understand your difficulties. People like us have no shortage of confidant female friends around the world, it's a pity to stick to just one."

"Your behavior has been acceptable during this period, showing some sincerity, so I won't trouble you on my deathbed."

"Go, go to Yuanzun Temple to find Shen Ying. Under the Bodhi Tree with the long-haired Guanyin, I only hope for her lifetime peace. As for the inheritance and responsibility of the 'Wang Chenghua's Precious Mirror,' to hell with it."

Duan Yun could tell that this was the father's last wish before dying.

He saluted and took his leave.

As he walked out of the room, Shen Sanlang's eyes held both satisfaction and a hint of regret.

At that moment, Duan Yun poked his head back in and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, how do I get to Yuanzun Temple?"

"Head south, you fool."

With that, the little bit of regret in Shen Sanlang's eyes disappeared.

This kid has some sense, finally calling him father-in-law.

He knew he probably wouldn't live to see the day when the two get married.

Duan Yun walked along the path, his mood was slightly excited.

He had met Shen Ying's father and stepmother, seemed to have performed reasonably well, and now obtained news of Shen Ying, naturally his steps were brisk.

He had only just learned at Mingyu Palace about Wang Chenghua and his 'Wang Chenghua's Precious Mirror,' not expecting Shen Ying to be its inheritor.

It's just a bit of a pity that the father-in-law and mother-in-law he just called would probably soon leave this world.

The mother-in-law seemed to be in slightly better condition, but it was only an appearance, as she doesn't know any Martial Arts and should solely rely on elixirs to sustain her.

And by the time he and Shen Ying marry, it's very likely both sets of parents will have passed away.

Duan Yun walked with a spring in his step, asking along the way, and quickly found Yuanzun Temple.

Compared to Chunyuan Temple's newness, Yuanzun Temple was very old.

Due to improper maintenance, half of the temple was in a state of abandonment, appearing quite desolate.

The incense here wasn't flourishing either; a crumbling temple, even the deities couldn't protect themselves, let alone all living beings.

But at this moment, Duan Yun found this temple very beautiful.

It was dusk, and the withered, yellow grass, refracted by the sunlight, was like a field of gold, with the broken stone steps appearing like white jade.

This was all because there was someone in this temple he wanted to find.

He had previously said that once he found Shen Ying, he would definitely spank her butt.

And now, he was feeling quite excited, his hands itching to do so.

Truth be told, he had been searching for Shen Ying for too long, from late autumn last year to the chilly early spring after the New Year.

The wait felt unpleasant; it was the worst new year he ever experienced.

He felt it had been a long time since he saw Shen Ying.

He couldn't help but feel nervous.

Reunion nerves, more thrilling after a short separation.

He wondered if the runaway was still angry, and if so, he would have to spank her!

In the blink of an eye, Duan Yun had entered Yuanzun Temple.

Today, Yuanzun Temple was unexpectedly lively because it was the annual "Universal Salvation Festival".

The dilapidated temple had still attracted some fellow practitioners and visitors who hadn't left yet in the dusk.

After entering through the mountain gate, Duan Yun casually grabbed a visitor and asked, "Where is the Bodhi Tree?"

The visitor raised an eyebrow and said, "There are several Bodhi Trees in this temple."

Duan Yun asked, "Is there a Bodhi Tree with a Guanyin Statue underneath?"

"You're knowledgeable; that Guanyin Statue is the most spiritual, it's at the back."

"Thank you."

Without saying another word, Duan Yun climbed five steps at a time towards the back courtyard, leaving the visitor dumbfounded.

Especially the female visitor beside him, who couldn't help but sigh, "How can he stride so wide?"
