Although this is Donglin Temple, the little elder has always regarded himself as a host. Even to reconcile the conflict, it was he who stepped in. As a party to the landing, and as a guest at the door, it is inconvenient to say more.

Hearing that the Qin mission was going to temporarily create a set of boxing techniques, and then compete after a stick of incense, everyone was incredulous, and even some scoffed. The landing was like eating a mouthful full of flies, and I didn't know how to undo such a ridiculous thing.

The little elder looked at the landing with an embarrassed expression, and then said to Master Yanqing: "Master, the monks don't care if they win or lose, they win or lose, and if they lose, they will win, and if they rely on the poor monks' foolish opinions, it is better to leave this matter at that." Whether it is qigong or external power, it lies in the heart in the end, there can be qigong outside the heart, there can be external power, everything is illusory, everything is in vain, it is better to eat tea. ”

"Eat tea" to others is just a very ordinary sentence to invite to eat tea, in fact, this is a particularly famous Zen proverb and public case, from the fourth generation of the sixth ancestor of Zen Master Huineng - the Tang Dynasty Zhaozhou Zen Master Cong, created the precedent and foundation of "Zen tea taste", spread for thousands of years.

At that time, two monks went to Zhaozhou to ask Zhaozhou Zen Master how to be Zen, and Zhaozhou Zen Master asked one of them, "Have you been here before?" The monk replied, "No." Zen Master Zhaozhou said, "Eat tea!" Then he asked another monk, "Have you been here?" Another monk replied, "Yes." Zen Master Zhaozhou said, "Eat tea!" At this time, the prison asked curiously, "Zen master, why did you let him eat tea when he came, and let him eat tea if you didn't come?" Zen Master Zhaozhou said, "Eat tea!" ”

Eating tea is actually a kind of open-mindedness, free and easy life, and a comfortable realm, no matter what disputes the outside world has, what is incomprehensible, or even suffering failure, grievances, hesitation, etc., life in the world is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, whether it is willing, adversity, there is no need to take it seriously. Why not "eat tea and go"!

As a Zen monk, the little elder is familiar with these allusions and Zen meanings. Although Donglin Temple is the ancestral court of the Pure Land, it has been a double cultivation of Zen and lotus since ancient times, so as soon as the little elder's words came out, they all understood. Master Yanqing smiled and said, "Amitabha, what the little elder said is very true, Xite, this is the little elder who is enlightening you, it is your creation. ”

Seite clasped his hands together and saluted, "Seite has been taught, thank you little elder!" It doesn't matter if you win or lose, you should eat tea. ”

Generally, when the dominant side says such a thing, it is to give a step, and the other side should go down the step, and even Shi Geng, who lost a little embarrassed, nodded his head in understanding. But Zhen Feng didn't know if he was crazy, so he actually rejected such kindness: "As the saying goes, a gentleman is hard to chase after a horse, since the agreement of a stick of incense has been decided, it is not easy to change, this is a little obsession of our lay family, and it can be regarded as a little persistence." Otherwise, without this insistence, the difficulties encountered in the future will be impossible to overcome in the heart of the demons, just like our Donglin Temple Huiyuan Master's 'Huxi Three Smiles', if this is the case, but Huxi's obsession has not been lingering in the master's heart? ”

The allusion of Huxi Sanxiao refers to the fact that Master Huiyuan, the ancestor of Donglin Temple, sent Tao Yuanming and Lu Xiujing to Tao, and when they arrived at Huxi, although the sound of a tiger sounded in their ears from time to time, they didn't notice it at all because they were too involved in talking, until they crossed Huxi Sanren, and then laughed heartily. It turned out that they inadvertently broke the obsession of Huxi, and the laughter conveyed their indescribable joy. Li Bai wrote in the poem "Farewell Donglin Temple Monk": "At the Donglin send-off place, the moonrise white ape cries, laughing farewell to Lushan Mountain, why bother to cross Huxi." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Landing, Martin and others, looked at the stubborn Zhen Feng like a fool and a madman, and they didn't know why they couldn't go down such a good step, and they had to touch their noses to give up. Judging from the current situation, the defeat of the Chin Mission is almost doomed in any case.

Landing couldn't help but persuade: "Zhen Feng, the pure land of Buddhism is still not suitable for noise, it is better to stop there and eat tea." ”

Shi Geng also echoed: "Yes, yes, go to eat tea, Lushan Yunwu Tea is very famous, and you can't eat it when you come." ”

For such a fool who really regards "eating tea" as really eating tea, Zhen Feng can only give him a roll of the eyes, and then said: "After a stick of incense, no matter who loses or wins, we will just stop and eat tea, how about it?" ”

At Zhen Feng's insistence, everyone could only accept it helplessly, anyway, it was the Qin Mission that was embarrassed, and what should have been said was already in place. At Zhen Feng's request, the timing incense was lit, and everyone left space for Zhen Feng and others, Zhen Feng called Martin and signaled that he had something to say.

Landing was very worried, because he knew that Zhen Feng didn't know martial arts, how could he complete the creation of a set of boxing techniques that others might not necessarily achieve in their lifetime with a stick of incense? Martin listened tremblingly, feeling like a "pill".

"Martin, do you still remember the Tai Chi method that you learned from Yuan Lai Dao Chang in Wangjiang Tower?"

Martin thought for a moment before he said tentatively, "You mean that soft, slow boxing technique?" ”

When Zhen Feng heard this, he wanted to knock Martin's head, but considering that he would have to let Martin go for a while, he could only hold back and said: "A good set of internal boxing techniques is like a rice cake by you, which is really blind to your titanium dog's eyes." It is not called soft, slow, it is called subtle and introverted, continuous, rapid and slow, flowing water, you and Yuan Lai Dao Chang when you are not slow and urgent, this set of boxing is to overcome the rigid with softness! ”

"I know, I know, I was a sparring partner at the time, who paid attention to so many theories." Shi Geng suddenly pondered for a while, and said, "Brother Feng, don't say it, it's really a bit of a taste of overcoming rigidity with softness." But whenever I use a slightly stronger punch, it will be unloaded by the Yuan Lai Dao Chief, and then counterattacked, I have always wondered, obviously this punch is so soft, how can I defeat the hard style of boxing that I originally learned. Could it be that you just want to use this style of punching to deal with Sit's hard fist? ”

"It's not me, it's you, I just use this set of boxing techniques as fitness. That's all there is to it for now. ”

Landing heard it in a fog, he knew the depth of Martin and Shi Geng's martial arts cultivation, and said to Zhen Feng worriedly: "Since you should come down, or I'll go up." ”

"Lao Deng, do you think you can win?"

Landing shook his head and said: "I think I have a chance of winning if I can knock the stone down and it lasts very long, but it's not very big." ”

"Even if you have a good chance of winning, you can't play. You are an envoy, you can't get involved in such a fight, no matter if you lose or win, it will be a loss of face for yourself and the official family. Not to mention that the other party's qigong is good, maybe it can drag you impatient, so even if you win, it will be even more embarrassing. ”

Zhen Feng turned to study the details with Martin, and asked him to review the feeling of learning from Zhang Yuanlai Taoist at that time, such as the white crane bright wings, the wild horse mane, the cloud hand, the golden rooster independence, etc., the moves, such as smashing, squeezing, pressing, picking, squeezing, picking, elbowing, leaning, advancing, retreating, Gu, Pan, Ding, etc., corresponding to the acupuncture points of attack, defense and counterattack, so that "the fist is like the sea, surging and endless", and then do not stick to the moves, pay attention to improvisation, can not fight a protracted battle, to find opportunities to counterattack from the soft, and strive for the success of a blow.
