Chapter 58: Zen Disciples
After only being in retreat at home for less than half a month, Cheng Yanjin had no choice but to get out of the customs. Because he found out how he cultivated, there seemed to be no sign of advancement in the twelfth-floor Taigong. Thinking about it, if it weren't for the fact that he died in that ancient tomb, I'm afraid that his twelfth-floor Taigong would still stay on the fourth floor, where would he reach the realm of the sixth layer now.
It's just that although he has deep internal skills, he doesn't have the moves to match. After this period of study, "Seeing Heaven and Hearing from the Heavens" has also reached the realm of seeing the three ways and hearing the three directions, and only after consolidating the current realm can we practice the next stage of the mind method of hearing and listening to the four directions, and then practice the method of seeing and seeing the four ways.
He named the peerless martial arts secret book he took out of the Pangu tomb "Thirty-six Axes of Open Heaven", corresponding to the thirty-six illustrations. There is no culture and can't recognize the words on it, so Cheng Yanjin has to follow the cultivation of cats and tigers according to the appearance on the illustration.
But what he didn't expect was that after half a month of retreat, he had only practiced the first and second moves of the first three moves he had learned, but he couldn't do the third trick in one go. Distraught, Cheng Yanjin decided to go out for a walk, and it was too boring to stay at home.
After going to several docks by the Yanbang Sea, Cheng Yanjin rode a tall horse and ran towards the county seat. I heard from the brothers below that the Lingnan Song valve had actually produced fine wine according to the secret provided by Cheng Yanjin, and sold it to the Central Plains, and it was sold in the county not far away. Cheng Yanjin wanted to see what the taste of the wine brewed by the Song family was!
After entering the county seat and finding a luxurious restaurant, Cheng Yanjin walked in. Seeing him enter, the hotel shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and trotted over, and welcomed him into a private seat. Now that he is already a celebrity in Qilu County, when he walked out of the door, he saw him disrespectfully and said, 'Cheng Ye is good, Cheng Ye is wonderful, Cheng Ye is quacking!' ’
This is also thanks to the cooperation with the Lingnan Song family. Although he has long monopolized the sale of illicit salt in Qilu County, who has no intersections with him is willing to look at him. is the hotel shopkeeper in this city, Cheng Yanjin doesn't know how many times he has drunk here, so he doesn't know how many silver taels he has earned, and he has never personally entertained Cheng Jin, let alone went out to greet him like now.
Since the news of the cooperation between the Salt Gang and the Lingnan Song Valve came, not to mention the shopkeeper of this hotel, it was the parents and officials in the city who were polite when they saw Cheng Biting Jindu. Although he didn't dare to do anything to Cheng Biting Jin before, he was afraid that Cheng Biting Jin would cut off his head as soon as he was unhappy. Now the attitude towards Cheng Yanjin is respect and admiration, which is completely different from the fear in the past. Just to enjoy this fluttering gaze, Cheng Yanjin did not run less to the city.
instructed the hotel shopkeeper to bring the best wine from Lingnan, and Cheng Yanjin threw out the shopkeeper with a surprised face. The reason why the shopkeeper was surprised was that he thought that since Cheng Yanjin was connected to the Lingnan Song family, how could he miss these jars of wine, and still use it to drink from him! How could the shopkeeper know that this wine was originally brewed by Cheng Yanjin to the people of the Song family.
Poured a bowl of wine, Cheng Biting Jin spit it out after two sips, black, really black, grandpa said How could the Song family produce so much wine so quickly, dog, those bastards mixed at least half of the water in it. What about the Lords, phew! Purely a bunch of bastards who eat people and don't spit out bones.
was completely disinterested in this jar of wine, Cheng Yanjin stood up and wanted to leave. As soon as he walked to the wall, he suddenly heard a faint conversation from next door, Cheng Yanjin became stubborn, picked up the thaumaturgy of "Heaven and Earth", and listened attentively.
When the exercises were carried out, the voice next door became clear, "Senior Brother Haiming, it's not that Senior Brother is talkative, it's just that Senior Brother Hailiang has restored his real name and raised troops in Tang County, Boling County, Dingzhou, if you are hesitating, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to the elders in the courtyard, and even the master won't be able to protect you at that time!" ”
Then a voice sounded, "Senior brother, it's not that the junior brother is too talkative, I also know that Senior Brother Hailiang has already raised troops, but he and I both use the name of the Maitreya Buddha, and the discerning person knows that we are together at a glance, if it is tracked down by someone with a heart, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the temple!" ”
The senior brother's voice suddenly became stern: "You bastard, what nonsense, if the elders know about it, you will have to be punished." As he spoke, his voice softened again, "Besides, the Maitreya Buddha is one of the Buddhas that the people in the world are more familiar with, and with his name, he can naturally recruit many believers to come and participate in the army!" This is a well-thought-out strategy made by the elders of the hospital, you just need to follow the plan! ”
"In that case, then the senior brother will go here, and ask the senior brother to tell the master!"
"Well, where are you going to raise troops, junior brother?"
"Don't hide it from Senior Brother, Senior Brother still has some influence and prestige in the area of Xijing Sanfu, and the people there also respect me, so Senior Brother, I plan to raise troops there!"
"Then take care of yourself, I wish you a smooth journey!"
"Thank you, brother!"
Hearing that the two people next door were leaving, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly pushed open the screen in front of the door, and squinted his eyes, but it was two people dressed as businessmen who walked out from next door.
Cheng Yanjin listened to it next door for a long time just now, these two people are clearly monks, but they are dressed as businessmen, obviously afraid of missing traces. It's just that I don't know which one is the senior brother and which one is the junior brother, so it seems that I have to pick a random one to follow.
Originally, Cheng Biting Jin had been idle and bored for the past two days, but now he naturally has to participate in this kind of fun thing. Besides, this monk has always been compassionate and in the name of purifying sentient beings, how can this teach people to rebel, if he doesn't figure out the joints in this, he can't sleep at all.
The monk who followed in front walked for a long time, walked out of the city gate, and walked towards a secluded place, Cheng Yanjin hesitated for a moment and followed. When he came to a place where no one was around, the monk turned his head and stared at Cheng Yanjin, who was walking behind Shi Shiran, "What is the purpose of Your Excellency following me?" ”
Cheng Yanjin took out the axe and smiled slightly, "Okay, don't pretend, do you think I don't know where you are a monk?" ”
Seeing that the monk's disguise was broken, Su Xing took off the set of merchants' clothes on his body, took off the hat on his head, revealing the monk's robe and bald head inside, and then he put on a defensive posture, "Since Your Excellency knows that I am a warrior monk from the Jingnian Monastery, you still dare to chase after me, but I don't know why?" ”
His words almost scared Cheng Yanjin half to death, originally Cheng Yanjin just wanted to find out the origin of this person, but he didn't expect that this monk seemed to be eating fasting and chanting Buddha in the temple all year round, and he didn't know anything about the experience of the rivers and lakes, and he revealed his details in one sentence.
Located in the southern suburbs of Luoyang City, the eastern capital, the Pure Nian Monastery has always had a close relationship with Cihang Jingzhai, both of which are sacred places of Buddhism and the top forces representing the righteous path. Moreover, this Pure Mind Zen Monastery also learns to be quiet and never gets involved in the disputes of the rivers and lakes, although it is not famous in the martial arts, but it has a lofty status.
Originally, Cheng Yanjin also had a high mountain admiration for the Pure Mind Meditation Temple, but the monk in front of him quietly shattered the lofty Pure Mind Meditation Temple in his mind. The group of old bald donkeys openly put on a righteous face, saying that they would not get involved in the disputes in the rivers and lakes, but secretly instructed the disciples of the sect to rebel.
I thought that those old guys were masters outside the world, and they didn't care about fame and honor, but now it seems that this Pure Mind Zen Monastery is not as noble as imagined! And looking at their sneaky appearance, I am afraid that this incident was done in secret from Cihang Jingzhai, so that the relationship between this Jingnian Monastery and Cihang Jingzhai is not as close as the legend!
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, the monk of the Pure Nian Monastery asked with some doubts, "Your Excellency called the poor monk, what are you doing?" ”
Cheng Biting Jin looked up to the sky and snorted, "It's nothing, just come and remind the master that after walking such a long way, shouldn't you stop and pee?" ”
The warrior monk was furious: "Vertical Zi'an dares to deceive me!" As he spoke, he took out a ring ruler from his sleeve and rushed towards Cheng Jin.
Cheng Yanjin laughed, danced the small board axe in his hand, and greeted him. Originally, since he had already figured out the origin of this monk, he planned to turn his head and go home, but the monk asked a lot, but reminded Cheng Yanjin, this monk seems to be about as powerful as him, and he has fallen into a bottleneck in martial arts cultivation during this time, just take advantage of this monk to confirm what he has learned in his heart, and see if he can find an opportunity to break through.
Besides, kung fu doesn't have to work, he deliberately provoked this monk, just to let this monk be his sparring partner and let him grow in battle. Anyway, according to the teachings of Buddhism, even if this person wins, he will not be a killer, where can I find this free sparring partner who can force himself to use all his strength without worrying about the danger of his life? Since you encounter nature, you can't let it go.
However, what made Cheng Yanjin want to cry without tears was that his abacus was quite fine, and he also had a good grasp of this monk's heart, but unfortunately the only miscalculation was that this monk's martial arts were too high for his mother.
The length of the ring ruler in the monk's hand is about the same as Cheng Biting Jin's small axe, but this weapon can cut and stab, shoot and play, and it is far more flexible to use than his axe, plus the monk's martial arts moves are ingenious and powerful, so for a while, Cheng Biting Jin only had to retreat again and again.
At the beginning of the fight, Cheng Yanjin originally planned to use the flowing cloud axe method to be as stable as Mount Tai, and then take the opportunity to quietly observe the opponent's martial arts to see if he could inspire himself.
But when he gets started, where does he still have time to observe, this monk's ring ruler is faster than a move, although the change of moves is not complicated, but it is better than the action is as fast as lightning, as fast as thunder. In just an instant, Cheng Yanjin saw that in front of him, it was as if a mountain composed of ring rulers was pressing over.
Under the stormy attack of this monk, Cheng Yanjin felt like a lonely boat in the angry waves, which would be overturned and scattered by the waves at any time. Although his flowing cloud axe method can protect the vital points of the whole body, it cannot resist the fierce attack of this monk in only one place.
This monk's attack is not only concentrated, but the strength of the attack is stronger than a foot, and with Cheng Biting Jin's internal force, he can't stand such an indomitable, desperate attack.
At this time, where can he still take care of observing the other party's martial arts, Cheng Yanjin can only grit his teeth there and work hard to support, and at the same time, his thoughts in his heart are turning sharply, thinking of a way to get out. Rao is conceited that he has a lot of ghost ideas in his head, and he has three plans in one step, but he can't think of a useful way at this time.
