In Chang'an for more than a year, Su Ming was not without gains. Every day, he ingested the power of the heavens and stars, swallowed and exhaled the purple qi, and tempered his body with it. His physical body and true qi became stronger and more perfect, and many deficiencies and flaws that had not been discovered in the past were also eliminated. And he meditated for many days, and also reorganized his own martial arts, blended the essence of many martial arts methods, took their essence and removed their dross, leaving only the part that suits him.

There are countless kinds of martial arts in the world, some are righteous, some are strange, some are fierce, some are feminine, some are sharp, some are peaceful, some are simple, and some are dexterous. Every martial art represents a kind of essence, or in other words, a path. The road itself is not large or small.

In a sense, there is no strength or weakness in martial arts, but there is a difference between martial artists who practice martial arts. Each martial artist's insight, cognition, personality, mind, and heart are different, which leads to the different martial arts suitable for each martial artist. Some martial artists are born bright and upright, and if they display their righteous martial arts, their power will be fully exerted. If you let it perform some feminine and treacherous martial arts, its power will be greatly reduced. Some people are clever in nature, and the simple martial arts of clumsy fluttering are not suitable for him.

Speaking of which, it is only eight words: "The way of martial arts varies from person to person." "Blindly learning and imitating can never surpass the predecessors. Only by creating your own path can you perfectly match yourself and give full play to your strength.

Speaking in detail, the same is true of the path of monasticism. All the primordial gods in this world have broken through the cage and found their own path, so that they can stand out from the crowd and achieve the primordial gods.

Su Ming's meditation during this period of time not only consolidated the cultivation realm, but also allowed him to have a strong accumulation for the next realm.

Out of Chang'an City, Su Ming thought about it and headed to the east first. With the ability of the imperial court, it is not difficult to know the location of each sect. He couldn't see the ordinary sects anymore, and he was naturally going to the top sects with Yuan Shen characters in charge. When he reached his current cultivation realm, only the Yuan Shen figure could give him pressure and enlightenment.

From Chang'an to the east, Su Ming came directly to Yuzhou and went to Luoyang City first. At this time, there were two forces in Luoyang City, one was the force headed by Jiang Xing, the deputy envoy of the festival, and the other was the force headed by Wu Changhao, the Marquis of Duyu. After the death of Xu Huanlong and his wife, He Shibi was taken away by Su Ming, and the two of them had the support of Confucianism and the support of the soldiers, and their status was similar, so they have been unable to hold each other, and no one can help anyone. Especially in the past year, Confucianism and soldiers have supported the new emperor Li Heng, and it is useless for the two of them to fight in private, Luoyang City will be taken back by the imperial court sooner or later, and the original intention of being the main Luoyang City has gradually faded.

Su Ming returned to Luoyang City and did not stay, but went directly elsewhere. As far as he knew, there were two top sects in the cultivation world in Yuzhou. One is the Bodhi Sect, one of the three sects of Buddhism, and the other is the Seven Feelings Sect, one of the seven sects of the evil path.

It is also interesting to say that the Bodhi sect pays attention to the clear mind and the nature of seeing to become a Buddha, which is the most central door of Buddhism, and it can also be said to be the highest mind in the monastic world. However, the Seven Emotions Sect pays attention to entering the Tao with seven emotions and six desires, and is best at provoking people's hearts with seven emotions and six desires, and then achieving the purpose of controlling the mind. These two sects follow diametrically opposite paths, but they are born in the same region, and there is a feeling of deliberateness. Su Ming felt that the patriarchs of these two sects might also have the idea of using each other's hands to sharpen their disciples.

Step by step, Su Ming walked along the crooked path for dozens of miles before he saw a small temple in the mountains. The green mountains and green waters, the morning bell and the dusk drums, and the Sanskrit sound singing seem to make people's hearts instantly empty and calm, and realize the true meaning of the perfection of silence.

The monastery is so remote that the monks are almost always self-reliant, growing vegetables and food by themselves, and a few devotees go to great lengths to deliver daily necessities from outside. Other than that, the temple is very quiet with green smoke. There are not many monks, all of them participate in Zen and enlightenment, and they are very pure.

Su Ming walked to the door of the temple and saw three big characters on it: "Fahua Temple." There is a couplet on the left and right, and the couplet reads: "If dew is like electricity, like a dream bubble, it should be viewed like this." The next joint book: "There is no self, no one, no sentient beings, and those who live have no law." Speaking of which, I'm afraid that some people don't believe it, this "Fahua Temple" is actually where the Bodhi Sect, one of the three sects of Buddhism, is located.

At this time, the door on the right side was wide open, and a monk walked out of it, with a fluttering monk's robe, who was the monk who had a relationship with each other.

Ying Zheng clasped his hands together and said, "Lord Su Shi has come from afar, please enter the temple for a while." "At the beginning, when I said goodbye to the ruins palace, although Ying Zheng's cultivation was also a great advance, compared to Su Ming's shocking world and being called a martial artist, it was naturally incomparable. However, his mind is pure, and he only has a heart of admiration, and there is no jealousy. At this time, when I saw Su Ming, I only called him a donor.

Su Ming smiled slightly and said, "Please." ”

Ying Zheng took Su Ming into the temple, and saw that the temple was not big, and the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and the Thousand Buddha Hall were in the middle, and they were lined up one after another. The monks all performed their duties and were very calm and indifferent. After walking for a while, when he arrived at the mountain behind the temple, he folded his hands and said, "Amitabha!" A golden Buddha light flew out in his hand and landed in the void. I saw colorless ripples in the void dissolve, gradually revealing another world.

Su Ming knew that the real Bodhi Sect was inside, so he stepped into it with Ying Zheng. As soon as Fang walked in, he felt that his mind was pure, as if he was in a supreme wonderful realm, and it was easier to become enlightened by visiting the Great Dao of Enlightenment here. Invisibly, wisps of fluctuations came, which seemed to enlighten people's wisdom. There is a faint Sanskrit sound in the ear, but when you listen carefully, it disappears again.

The temple inside is still very simple and simple, and it is not as grand as imagined. Seeing such a scene, Su Ming couldn't help but sigh secretly, as the sect with the highest heart in the cultivation world, the Bodhi Sect did have its own merits. His eyes fell into the distance, only to feel that this space was actually very huge, and his heart moved, and said: "Dare to ask the master, could this be the manifestation of your sect's divine power in one flower and one world?" "If it really is, then the patriarch of the Bodhi Sect, the magic power must have reached an extremely amazing realm.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Don't hide it from Master Su, this wonderful realm is not simply transformed by mana. Instead, the ancestor got an ancient nine-grade golden lotus and used it to transform into this realm as the foundation of the sect. ”

When Su Ming heard this, he suddenly realized, but he was more careful, since it was a spiritual thing, it was naturally even more unpredictable. If something really goes wrong, there must be incredible powers. However, when he reaches his current cultivation realm, even if he is a top sect, it is difficult to leave him with the background of the sect.

After walking for a while, he arrived at the Thousand Buddha Hall at the back, and said, "The master of the head is already waiting for the donor inside." ”

When Su Ming heard this, he said, "Thank you, master." With an indifferent face, he stepped into it.

In the hall of a thousand Buddhas, there are three statues on it. In the middle is Shakyamuni Buddha, the left side of the Buddha is the Great Wisdom Manjushri Bodhisattva, and the right side is the Daxing Puxian Bodhisattva, collectively known as the Three Sages of Huayan. In addition to this, the four walls are carved into small lattices, each containing a golden Buddha. At a glance, there are golden Buddhas on all four walls, and there are thousands or even tens of thousands.

Su Ming also heard that the number of Buddhas in Buddhism is immeasurable, and each Buddha has its own world of teaching, such as Shakyamuni's Buddhism is the world of Suva. There is also a "Buddha Says Buddha Name Sutra", also known as "Ten Thousand Buddha Name Sutra", which says the names of tens of thousands of Buddhas. The Buddha on all four sides seems to have come from this.

I can hear the clear voice singing: "A flower is a world, a tree is a floating life, a grass is a paradise, a leaf is like a come, a sand is a bliss, a party is a pure land, a smile is a dust, a thought is quiet." ”

In a trance, it seems that one huge world after another can be seen, and there is a Mount Meru, touching the heavenly realm. The Buddha dwells on it and speaks about the Dharma. Countless bodhisattvas, arhats, vajra, kings, gods, and goddesses surround the Buddha and listen respectfully to the Dharma.

Su Ming smiled slightly, and the illusion in front of him suddenly disappeared, only to see an old monk in the main hall, with white eyebrows and a ruddy complexion. A pair of eyes are clear and clean, like a blue sky overhead. The black and white pupils show his childlike innocence.

Su Ming first saluted to the Three Saints of Huayan, and then said, "I've seen Master Bukong. "The sect master of the Bodhi Sect, the Dharma name is not empty.

Master Bukong smiled and said, "Master Su Shi also believes in Buddhism? ”

Su Ming looked at the Three Sages of Huayan and said, "No matter what, their realm is far above me. I salute them as forerunners, but also for their realm and detachment. ”

Hearing this, Master Bukong exclaimed: "Although the donor does not believe in the Buddha, he has already understood the true meaning of the Buddha. The Buddha, though compassionate, showed the way only. The person who really walks this path is himself, not others. ”

There is also a saying in Buddhism: "The Buddha crossed sentient beings, but sentient beings have no one to cross." The implication is that true cultivation is always self-reliant, and you can't pretend to be someone else.

Su Ming smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Master Bukong said: "The donor is coming, and the poor monk also understands." You and I might as well sit here and talk about the Tao. ”

Su Ming said: "Good." ”

With a finger from the master of Bukong, the door of the main hall was closed, and no one could see the situation inside. Ying Zheng stood outside the door, like a statue, motionless.

So, three days and three nights later, it was still this time, and the door suddenly opened. Su Ming walked out first, and Master Bukong was half a body behind.

Outside the door, Master Bukong said: "Su Shi's major is a brilliant realm, and the poor monk is not as good as it, admire and admire." ”

Su Ming's face was indifferent, and he said, "The master is polite, Su said goodbye." ”

At that moment, Ying Zheng sent Su Ming out of the mountain again, and when he came back, he saw that Master Bukong suddenly spit out three mouthfuls of blood in a row, which was shocking and shocked.

Master Bukong waved his hand, looked at the direction of Su Ming's departure, and sighed, "The future is terrifying." ”
