Suddenly, another three months passed.

Early autumn is still here.

During these three months, Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu were still practicing Shaolin Luohan Boxing, Shaolin Qi Mei Stick, and Shaolin Swordsmanship.

When he had nothing to do, Tang Lang would find an inaccessible dense forest, sit on a piece of bluestone, and take out the "One Qi Zen" cloth given to him by Master Daoxin, the fourth patriarch of Zen Buddhism, from his arms.

When he carefully read the words on the cloth of "One Qi Zen" for the first time, Tang Lang's mind suddenly became confused.

It turns out that this "one-qi Zen" is divided into two parts: the "General Tips" and the "Exercises". Although the text in the "General Tips" article is less than 5,000 words, Tang Lang read it through it and was at a loss.

He couldn't understand the subtlety of it.

Tang Lang thought to himself silently: "Although the "One Qi Zen" of the Four Ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Daoxin Master, is quite similar to the "Faith Inscription" of the Three Ancestors of Zen Buddhism, in terms of syntax, it seems to be simpler, but it is extremely difficult for people to understand instantly. It's a pity that I can't ask Master Daoxin for advice in person. ”

After looking down and thinking for a while, he muttered to himself, "...... Master Daoxin has always attached great importance to the enlightenment of the scholar himself. He passed on "One Qi Zen" to me, and he also valued my understanding. The reason why he didn't give me any explanations was so that I could understand the meaning for myself? ”

Thinking of this, Tang Lang re-read the "General Tips" chapter of "One Qi Zen":

One is everything, and everything is one. The largest is the same as the smallest, and the smallest is the same as the large. Everything, everything is ready-made. That is, the heart is the Buddha, and the heart turns to the Dharma. True and always extinguished, nirvana is the same.

……

The Tao must flow through, and the heart cannot live in the law. Self-knowledge of the heart, self-seeing of the nature. The heart gives birth to the law, and the heart destroys the law. There is no stagnation in thoughts, and it is truly wonderful. Come and go freely, and the mind and body are not stagnant.

……

There is no thought in the thought, and there is no thought for the sect. In the phase of separation, there is no phase for the body. I can't stop thinking about it, and I don't have to live for it. In the thoughts, do not think about the future. Unstained by all realms, it is always at ease.

……

The mind is delusional, and the mind is self-purifying. Self-nature, self-controlled, always born like this. In self-nature, the inside and outside are clear. Dinghui waits for it, and the intention is pure. Thinking of Yuanming, all laws are revealed.

……

The five aggregates phantom body, what is the illusion? The aftertaste is true, but the law is not pure. Pure mind and body, clear and silent. If you don't move, you are true. Pollution must not be done, and the world will be killed.

……

The Three Realms are idealistic, and the Ten Thousand Laws are only knowledgeable. Like a treasure mirror, see each other. Thou art not a canal, but a canal is thy. Like a baby in the world, the five phases are complete. It is true as the eye of the law, and the director is harmonious.

……

If you don't move the heart seal, you can use Hengsha wisely. Freedom and supernatural powers, game samadhi. Everything is affectionate, and there is no hindrance. Supreme Nirvana, Bright and Silent. The world is one breath, and the darkness is endless.

……

Tang Lang read it several times, and he was already able to recite it silently. Still, he could only understand a few of the sentences.

I couldn't understand it, so Tang Lang had to go to the "exercises" chapter of "One Qi Zen".

In the "Gongfa" chapter, all the methods of practicing meditation, meditation, qi training, and luck are mentioned, and most of them indicate the steps, as long as you follow them, you can practice.

Therefore, Tang Lang silently practiced the true spirit in accordance with the zazen method in the "Gongfa" chapter, and used meditation to achieve luck. After half a day, he felt that there seemed to be a qi latent in the dantian, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He also saw that in the "Gongfa" chapter, the realm of cultivation was divided into four levels, namely the Initial Yuan Realm, the Middle Yuan Realm, the Upper Yuan Realm, and the Mixed Yuan Realm, and he said in his heart: "I don't know when I will be able to cultivate the realm of One Qi Zen to the extreme." Take your time. ”

He knew that the "General Tips" of less than 5,000 words was the key to practicing Yiqi Zen, and as long as he comprehended it, coupled with the actual practice of the "Gongfa" chapter, his cultivation would inevitably improve.

After studying for a long time, Tang Lang felt that he was exhausted, so he put the cloth of "One Qi Zen" into his arms again, and then prepared to return to Wang Chengyan's house.

……

Since Bai Wufang secretly gave Tang Lang a splendid sachet on the moonlit night that day, he couldn't help but worry about it. Although she thought about it day and night, and even occasionally flirted with her eyebrows, Tang Lang just pretended to be stupid, looking careless and incomprehensible.

Seeing that Tang Lang didn't hint further, Bai Wufang couldn't help but feel a little disheartened, so he didn't say too much to Tang Lang.

As a result, there is only some daily communication between the two people.

Tang Lang didn't want too awkward atmosphere between him, Zhang Xiaohu and Bai Wufang, but he couldn't think of a proper countermeasure for a while, so he had to let the situation develop naturally.

From the outside, Tang Lang can clearly feel that Zhang Xiaohu has a kind and flawless will, although Bai Wufang always treats Zhang Xiaohu as a close friend or playmate.

Because he lives in the same village as Wang's wife, Nanao Village, Tang Lang will inadvertently meet Wang when he is usually in a normal situation.

However, the two of them no longer spoke a word to each other.

The situation of the encounter has become very awkward.

Tang Lang felt in his heart that he might have been too vicious and a little ashamed to scold Wang as a "lewd slut" that day. And Wang also walked away quickly with a red face every time.

Since Master Tanzong taught Tang Lang the stunt of Shaolin plum blossom wood needle cutting, he was full of interest and practiced until late every day.

He also wore a belt made of snakeskin on his body, like Tan Zong, and put various types of plum blossom cut wood needles in the socket inside.

In the past three months, due to unremitting exercise, Tang Lang's Shaolin Plum Blossom Cutting Wood Needle has been practiced to launch a hundred cut wood needles at the same time, and the needle does not fall to the ground, and each time it can hit the human figure three steps away.

So, he widened the distance to five paces and continued to practice hard.

Zhang Xiaohu saw that Tang Lang was crazy, and he was vigorously cultivating the Shaolin Plum Blossom Cutting Wood Needle, he was very puzzled, and asked: "Tang Lang, are you going to take revenge with the Shaolin Plum Blossom Cutting Wood Needle?" Practice so hard! ”

"Interest is the best master." Tang Lang smiled and said, "It's not that I have to take revenge with Shaolin plum blossom cutting wood needles." That's what I'm good at. ”

Zhang Xiaohu listened and couldn't help nodding.

……

It was the autumn afternoon, Tang Lang, who was walking in the mountains and forests, walked for a while, and saw the flawless white and flawless grazing sheep from a distance.

Suddenly, from the northwest there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves.

Soon, Tang Lang saw a man riding a black horse running towards the valley. The man on the horse sped up and kept looking behind him.

Tang Lang's heart suddenly froze: "Who is this person?" Could it be that someone is chasing him from behind? ”

Sure enough, behind the man, twenty or thirty angry horses soon appeared, and the people on the horses seemed to be dressed in uniform clothes.

"Could it be Wang Shichong and Wang Renze's soldiers and horses?"

Tang Lang thought about it again: "The one who was hunted down and killed was naturally Wang Shichong and Wang Renze's enemies. I once killed Wang Renze's younger brother Wang Renfa with Cheng Yanjin in Songyang County, and I am already their enemy. Their enemies are, of course, my friends. It seems that I have saved him. ”

The man who was being chased and killed was riding his horse and galloping towards the place where Bai Wufang was.

Tang Lang thought about Bai Wu's safety, and hurriedly ran back to Wang Chengyan's house to find Zhang Xiaohu to help save people. ——He climbed the Lianyun Peak of Shaomu Mountain every morning, his feet were strong, and he practiced every day, and he was already able to fly the eaves and walk the wall.

When he arrived at home, Tang Lang didn't see Zhang Xiaohu, knowing that he must be practicing in the glade.

So, Tang Lang ran to the glade again, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Xiaohu who was practicing his sword.

"Xiaohu," Tang Lang shouted, "Go to the valley to save people!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Lang hurriedly said, "Don't ask so much. Flawless girl may be in danger, you go and save her. ”

Zhang Xiaohu asked, "What about you?" ”

Tang Lang said: "Naturally, I will go with you." ”

He wanted Zhang Xiaohu to save Bai Wuflawless in order to further the relationship between the two of them.

……

When Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu arrived at the valley entrance into Nanwa Village, they saw that Bai Wufang was already in danger.

- I saw five or six Zheng army cavalrymen, riding around Bai Wufang, laughing in their mouths, saying some unbearable obscenities: "...... This chick is wild but handsome...... Captured this chick alive and gave it to the general to vent his fire......"

Bai Wufang brandished his whip and kept whipping the Zheng cavalry that circled her.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaohu's eyes were split, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

Tang Lang hurriedly said: "Xiaohu, go and save the flawless girl." I'm going to save another person. ”

"Okay."

Zhang Xiaohu agreed heavily, and then ran towards the place where Bai Wufang was with his sword.

And Tang Lang hurriedly walked to the place where the chased man fled, and stepped on the ground all the way.

In the valley, the road was rough and difficult, and all the horses walked slowly.

When he was still a few steps away from the cavalry of the Zheng army, who was chasing and killing the man, Tang Lang reached out and pulled out a handful of plum blossom cut wooden needles from his belt.

He looked at it, and there were as many as forty plum blossom needles between his thumb and index finger in his hand.

Tang Lang suddenly jumped onto a big stone, and then jumped down from the big stone in the air, while his right hand used the "combined hand punch" in the "front hair needle" technique of cutting wooden needles, and with the strength of the downward jump, he shot at the more than 20 cavalry of the Zheng army!

More than forty wooden needles shot away vigorously and scattered, hitting the Zheng cavalry and the horses they were riding.

Tang Lang has not practiced Shaolin plum blossom wood cutting needles for a few months, although there is a little strength on the needle, but the accuracy is too far behind.

However, most of the horses in the Zheng army's cavalry were still stabbed by the wooden needles, and they all shouted angrily and swung their knives at Tang Lang to slash at Tang Lang.

After all, he has also learned Shaolin boxing and stick swords for nearly half a year, and Tang Lang's physical fitness has already changed by leaps and bounds. Suddenly, he jumped up from the ground, jumped on a war horse, and landed behind one of the Zheng cavalrymen.

Tang Lang first snatched the Mo knife in the hand of the Zheng army cavalryman, and then pushed him off the horse.

The rest of the Zheng cavalry scolded and rushed towards Tang Lang.

The man who was chased and killed by the Zheng army's cavalry also turned his horse's head and joined the battle formation, fighting side by side with Tang Lang.

In the midst of a fierce battle, Zhang Xiaohu suddenly fell from the sky with a sword and joined the battle group.

The three of them fought fiercely against the two dozen Zheng cavalry together.

Tang Lang saw Zhang Xiaohu joining, and couldn't help but ask loudly: "What about the flawless girl?" ”

Zhang Xiaohu replied: "I have rescued the village." ”

Tang Lang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay! Next, let's slaughter these troubled thieves who do all kinds of evil. ”
