The Buddha is the master of the sea boat, the Dharma bridge crosses the river, the Mahayana Tao, and the heavenly man.

These four Buddhist verses come from the Chang A Han Sutra, which can be said to be a summary of the theory of Mahayana Buddhist practice in early Han Buddhism.

It was once said in "Journey to the West" that in order to introduce Mahayana Buddhism to the eastern land, there was no master Shakyamuni in the south, and deliberately arranged for the golden cicada to be reincarnated in the tenth life under the throne, and turned into the Sanzang master to reincarnate in the eastern land, so that the Mahayana scriptures could cross to the east.

From this point of view, the practice of Han Buddhism before the early Tang Dynasty was all Theravada Buddhism introduced through Xinjiang.

The so-called Hinayana Buddhism was originally not superior or inferior to Mahayana Buddhism.

However, for Li Shimin, a generation of Ming monarchs, this kind of Hinayana Buddhism, which takes arhats as the goal of cultivation and only advocates one's own attainment of great freedom and great liberation, is no different from the Middle-earth Taoist method of keeping oneself from entering the red dust, and is not beneficial to his rule and talent absorption.

Therefore, after Sanzang told him about the Mahayana Esoteric Buddhism that is now prevalent in Tianzhu, he naturally strongly agreed with the idea of Master Sanzang going west to seek the true scriptures.

The reason why I want to talk about this Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism is because in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, there were two kinds of martial arts practice methods: the explicit school and the secret tradition.

There are many martial arts sects in the world, but most of them are the Xian factions who teach the art of attacking, among which they can be called secret, and they are naturally the five major Dan sects that have been mentioned many times before.

However, even these five secret schools have evolved different characteristics of martial arts boxing inheritance because of their different understandings of Buddhist classics.

The Grandmaster of the Four Great Dao Sects, although he is a leader in the four veins. But among them, there are also many masters who practice Buddhism, and like the Shennong Dan School, who is dominated by ancient gods and sword immortals, but in fact, they are mainly lay people who learn from the law of heaven and earth, but they are the only one.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with this situation.

After all, before stepping into the Dan School, these contemporaries who had different pursuits of martial arts with their own minds and natures were quite related to each other in the world, but after entering the Dan School, although the direction of cultivation became more and more different. However, in the end, it is all secret......

Wait until Yang Meng represents the Shennong lineage. After the secret of the Dan Dao was passed on to the world, the situation changed dramatically.

Not to mention, after being passed on to the world, Yang Meng really succeeded in shattering the void.

There are four veins in front of Shennong, and one vein is maverick. Ignoring the dissatisfaction of the thousand-year-old rules of martial arts. Later, Yang Meng took advantage of this to break through the void in one fell swoop. Deepen the fear of the entire Shennong lineage.

Words to explain in the most straightforward terms.

Originally, everyone was similar to the Esoteric Dan school of Theravada Buddhism, emphasizing self-cultivation until the limit of heaven and man was broken. If you have to engage in some kind of Mahayana Buddhism that has been passed down to the world, then you will naturally become the target of public criticism.

What is especially unacceptable is that in this way, he has really surpassed many masters of the other four veins, breaking the void and seeing his true self in one fell swoop......

This may not be anything for ordinary people, but for the masters who stick to their own martial arts beliefs, it is enough to shake their own hearts, reminding you that your past practice of martial arts has gone astray......

Therefore, when the four great grandmasters learned of Yang Meng's death, their first reaction was to take advantage of the fact that Shennong had not heard the news, and preemptively bagged Yang Meng's relics......

It sounds a little contradictory and ironic, because in this way, it not only means that the four great masters have shaken the original intention of cultivation, but also that the four veins and the Shennong vein have torn apart......

However, this is the bloody reality, and the last thing the reality is often willing to talk about the truth.

Under the huge temptation of breaking the void once and potentially stepping into the endless realm of immortality, it is difficult for a real person like Ren is four great grandmasters to reason anymore, let alone Yuan Shikai, who is now in his fifties!

Historical books throughout the ages tell us that it has always been the literati and writers who have always feared death the most, but the rulers of all dynasties and generations.

Qin Shi Huang was afraid of death, so he sent Xu Fu and 3,000 boys and girls to Penglai, Xiandao, to find the secret medicine of immortality, and finally made a litter of small Japanese ......

Yongzheng was afraid of death, so he ate Tibetan Buddhism's red pills all day long, but finally died on it......

Yuan Shikai said that his life would be fixed for a few days, but as a typical diabetic, he had long suffered from illness, and then he was full of great fear of death.

Therefore, even the four great masters had to pinch their noses and pretend to be stupid, and they could only strive to reach the snow field mentioned by Shinjiro Abe before that group of secret guards of the Yuan Mansion......

But in this way, there is naturally no secrecy.

In other words, when the four great grandmasters arrived at the snow field with their front feet, Yang Luchan and Chen Changxing, who rushed from Wang Yaqiao's side to hear the news, almost chased here with their back feet......

"The four veins have done a little too much this time......

Different from Yang Luchan, although Chen Changxing is older, his spirit is fuller, although his silver hair is like snow, but his slightly old face is blooming because of his breath, and a faint red light is emitted outward, "I once said that Yang Meng and I Shennong are in a safe vein, and if I move him, I will break the net ......."

"The old master misunderstood, this time it wasn't my four-pulse ......"

Dong Haichuan called the old master in his mouth, but he was very clear in the hearts of the other three great grandmasters, the old man in front of him, who seemed to be a pedantic, had already reached the peak of the six realms of the Dan Dao, and had reached the point of clear insight, although because he was too old and his qi and blood were declining, he could only send out a few punches, but who would dare to say that he could take these few punches from the old man without injury?

"Whose hand did it?"

Chen Changxing's face softened slightly, but his thick white hair, with the qi and blood couldn't help but urge, it still trembled slightly like a silver needle......

"The one who did it was the great thunder Tiangu of the Japanese Onmyoji, and he died with Yang Meng on the snowfield in front of him......"

"Lead the way!"

The old man snorted slightly, and the red light on his face suddenly dissipated, but under the induction of Dong Haichuan and the others, it seemed that they saw bursts of red light jumping from the old man's face to the top of his head. Presenting three illusory red lotuses......

"Three flowers gather at the top!"

Crane Daoren's eyes shrank slightly, and then his face froze for a moment when he felt the vision in telepathy, and when he looked at Yang Luchan, who had never spoken, he realized that his seemingly casual arms also faintly emitted a faint golden red light, "Five Qi Chaoyuan!" ”

The six of them are all peerless masters who have cultivated to the level of the Six Realms of the Dan Dao, although each other's perception of the Six Realms is high and low, but at this level, they are all extraordinary people who have achieved great achievements in spiritual cultivation, and they can see the changes in their aura that ordinary people cannot see with the naked eye.

So. When the four great grandmasters felt the anger and killing intent in the hearts of Chen and Yang, they had already combined with Jin Dan to produce a vision. Naturally, he is more and more reluctant to die for Yang Meng's will, and he really has to make trouble to the point where both sides are defeated!

"Old master, please!"

The feet of the four of them moved together, and the Dao robes on their bodies suddenly swayed without wind under the mysterious resonance frequency, although there was not the slightest killing intent in their hearts. But there seems to be a flood of wild beasts in the body. Trying to break free from the cage made of their flesh. Although the secret guards of the Yuan Mansion in the distance were unknown, Chen Changxing and Yang Luchan knew that the four of them had begun to be on guard......

"Over the years, it seems that the four veins have been learning a lot. Figure out the four dissimilar formations, what is the purpose? ”

Yang Luchan didn't speak, this opening pointed straight to the point, seeing a human-shaped ice sculpture in the distance gradually revealed, the aura on his body unconsciously steamed again, "Didn't you say that we all ended up?" How can you only get one? ”

"Yang Wu's temperament is still so hot, since it has arrived, it is better to see the real brightness, even if you start to do it, is it really necessary to be as reckless as the juniors?"

The heart ape Taoist usually has an impatient temperament, but at this juncture, he is the one who can calm down the most, seeing that the posture of the humanoid ice sculpture is different from what Shinjiro Abe said, he unconsciously becomes more and more reluctant to act recklessly......

"That person is not Yang Meng!"

Chen Changxing's feet moved, and his slightly hunched figure shot out six or seven meters away like a crossbow, and before everyone could see it, he suddenly seemed to be naked, and he grinned while clapping his palms......

"The ape once said to the old man that the most promising person in the Shennong lineage to break the void is this monkey cub, there is no doubt that when I see it today, I know that the ape is fair, and it is really better than the old man!"

"Huh?" The dragon snake Taoist trembled in his heart, and his feet unconsciously accelerated his speed, and after seeing two or three ups and downs, he jumped next to the humanoid ice sculpture and looked at it, "I'm afraid this person is the big thunder sky that Abe said!" ”

Dong Haichuan's faces changed, and his feet suddenly became a little faster, and after approaching and taking a closer look, his face unconsciously became more and more solemn, "One punch summons the soul back to the sky, one punch and five internal tools are burned, Yang Meng's seven wound fists, I'm afraid it really broke the shackles of the six realms of the Dan Dao and touched the Void Yuan Shen ......"

"I'm afraid Yang Meng's body is not lightly injured, you see that although there is no obvious blood stain at this footprint, but on the snow within a radius of three feet, there is a slight red light!"

"Swallowing qi alchemy, practicing is the circle that holds the yuan and guards, although the blood and qi here are light, but if you think of this point, I am afraid that the blood and veins all over the body will be damaged, and it will seep out from the pores of the epithelium......"

Chen Changxing thought hard in his heart, and the divine light in his eyes also flashed, and when he turned his head to look at the big thunder sky, he inadvertently saw several footprints of different shades a few steps away, forming a double-string arc change, he locked his brows tightly and then bloomed with a smile, "Miao Miao Miao, what a 'secret and round true trick, borrowing his life without saying it'......"

"What does the master mean?"

"My martial arts swallow qi and practice exercises, and converge on their own qi and blood to weaken the strength pill, all of which are realized from the two classics of Buddhism and Taoism, and constantly confirm the truth of martial arts and martial arts, although it can be regarded as a practice method of eternal life, but I have forgotten the common principles of Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism......"

"What's the truth!?"

Hearing that Chen Yang's master and apprentice seemed to have something to gain, the four great masters naturally opened their ears and listened quite nervously, but seeing that Chen Changxing suddenly shut up when he said the key point, the four of them could no longer stretch their bodies, and opened their mouths in unison to ask.
