Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Return (II)
"Uncle Long, really?"
Hearing that the dragon said that he wanted to formally teach himself martial arts, Cheng Jingling's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to the root of his ears, revealing a surprised expression that an ordinary disciple should have when he was about to officially practice martial arts, and said happily: "Then I am officially included in the door wall of the temple today?" I heard from them that those who want to apprentice after the formal initiation will also be given the Dharma name. What is my legal name? Is it Uncle Long, will you give it to me? Uncle Long, you have to give me a good name, and it will be well-known to go out and walk the rivers and lakes in the future......"
"Don't worry," interrupting Cheng Jingling's rambling, Long shook his head and chuckled: "Since you were punished and the assessment period was extended by one month before, you must wait for the assessment period to expire, and you can officially start apprenticeship after one month, and then your master will give you the law name." It's just that I can't bear that you are so talented, but you are wasted by useless things, so I will teach you some exercises and martial arts in advance. ”
"That's it......" Cheng Jingling's face flashed with disappointment, but he immediately regained his excitement and said happily: "Uncle Long, after the afternoon boxing time, don't I have to fight the eight-armed Arhat boxing, and I can practice real martial arts?" ”
Liao Long nodded and said: "It's not just the afternoon boxing time, you will come to my martial arts hall to practice when you get up in the morning, and you don't have to do some chores, but you still need to go to the Buddhist hall to chant at noon." Our Buddhist teachings emphasize compassion. But above the Buddha Hall, there is the Bodhisattva of compassion and the Vajra of angry eyes! The Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows, so there are six paths of compassion; King Kong is angry, and only then can he subdue the four demons. Those who practice martial arts will inevitably compete with others and hurt and kill. However, we must have compassion, kill less if we can kill less, and kill less if we can't. The thirst for killing indiscriminately will not only increase the number of killings, but also make one's clear mind dusty and fall into the devil's path. Therefore, in our Buddhist practice, the importance of Buddhism and Zen should be higher than that of martial arts practice. Only by using the Dharma as a cloth, Zen as a duster, and wiping the bodhicitta at all times, can we see the nature of the mind and not fall into the world. ”
"Oh......" Cheng Jingling nodded as if he didn't understand, his expression was dumbfounded.
This time he wasn't pretending, but he really didn't understand.
In his understanding, practicing martial arts is to live forever, and the second is to become stronger.
Only by becoming stronger than others will you kill others when you meet on a narrow road, instead of being killed by others.
Practicing martial arts, how can it still be related to compassion and Buddhism, Cheng Jingling doesn't understand.
Seeing this, Long didn't explain much, but smiled slightly: "You are not familiar with Buddhism, nor have you practiced martial arts, so it is normal that you don't understand what I just said." You just have to remember what I said, and there will be a day when you will understand. ”
"Yes, Uncle Long." Cheng Jingling nodded in response.
And in the sea of knowledge, the madman Zaiyou sneered at the dragon's statement.
I only heard him say disdainfully: "Listen to this old monk fart, what kind of practice of Buddhism is clear and insightful." To put it bluntly, their Mahayana Buddhism teachings emphasize compassion and universal world, but all martial arts are cruel and vicious, and they kill people at every turn, which is more vicious and violent than ordinary evil martial arts, and conflicts with their Buddhist teachings. That's why they advocate practicing more Buddhism, because they are afraid that practicing this kind of ruthless practice will make the great monks psychologically distorted and perverted. What else do you say about the Bodhisattva's compassion, Vajra's angry eyes, etc., which means nothing more than to treat evil with evil, and find the reason for your cruel and violent exercises. Make excuses, saying that it is because others are ruthless, so they are more ruthless. What else do you say to protect the bodhisattva's compassionate heart with the method of vajra angry eyes, hehe, ahhh ”
I see!
It's still easy to understand what the madman Zaiyou said, and Cheng Jingling understood it at once.
Isn't this just holding a sharp blade in your hand, and letting yourself stand on the moral high ground?
Then, it was the dragon who began to teach Cheng Jingling to practice the Enlightenment Meditation Method.
According to the criteria of the heavens, the Mingxin Zen method can only be regarded as a yellow-level middle-grade cultivation method.
But he is the basic pile gong that everyone in the Taisho Zhao Temple has to practice, and after cultivating the Dacheng, he can convert the advanced exercises of the Taisho Zhao Temple into a matter of course, and finally point to the Taisho Zhao Temple town school exercise "Vajra Fu Demon Sutra".
Mingxin Zen is not like the body refining boxing method, but it is necessary to squeeze the energy in the muscles and muscles through one boxing move, so as to achieve the goal of strengthening the muscles and bones and vigorous qi and blood.
Instead, by posing in twelve postures, he constantly perceives himself, and according to the dragon, he communicates with the "divine wheel" in the body, so as to achieve the goal of both self-cultivation and mental cultivation.
Twelve postures only, Cheng Jingling learned very quickly, and after a while, he was able to standardize all twelve types of pile gong of Mingxin Zen.
Lilong was very satisfied with this, looked at Cheng Jingling with a smile and appreciation, and nodded again and again.
The next thing to teach is the Demon Suppression Evil Knife.
The Demon Town Evil Sword is a yellow-level mid-grade martial art, and Cheng Jingling has not practiced martial arts, so he is very much looking forward to it.
There are a total of eighteen types of evil knives in the Demon Town, which are divided into two parts.
The first nine styles are demon swords, delicate and sharp, both offensive and defensive, mainly for the enemy to control the enemy and capture the enemy.
The latter nine style is the evil knife, and the style of the first nine styles is completely different, only attack but not defend, a knife is faster than a knife, a knife is also heavier than a knife, the knife is extremely ruthless, the enemy must be saved, the enemy must be prevented, mainly for the enemy to kill the enemy.
For this martial art, the madman Zaiyou introduced: "This demon town evil knife used to be called the Ming Wang Zhen evil knife, the Xuan-level mid-grade knife method, because of the extremely heavy killing, it really does not look like Buddhist martial arts, so some people proposed to put it on the shelf, and the monks in the temple were not allowed to practice again." But this knife technique is exquisite, lethal is extremely strong, those who have practiced it can often rely on this knife method to defeat the strong with the weak, and the Taisho Zhao Temple is unwilling to give up such a powerful martial art, so it was changed, and the Ming Wang Zhen evil knife was changed to a nine-style disorderly change, changed to a demon knife in front, the dog tail continued the mink, and the change was nondescript! Now, only those who have successfully cultivated the Demon Suppression Evil Knife and are proficient in Buddhism can learn the real Ming King Evil Suppression Knife! ”
I have to say that Cheng Jingling has a bit of a martial arts talent in his body, while learning the knife technique with the dragon, while listening to the crazy people in the sea who are persecuting him, he can still learn all the knife routines of the Demon Suppression Knife in a short time.
Lilong was very satisfied with this, in his eyes, "Wang Tieniu" was originally a physique suitable for martial arts, and his own martial arts understanding was so high, his future achievements were simply limitless!
For a while, the dragon's gaze at Cheng Jingling was about to burst into stars.
The Mingxin Zen Method and the Demon Suppression Evil Knife were practiced alternately, and they were practiced until the evening, when Cheng Jingling returned to the dormitory.
After washing, lying on the bed, Cheng Jingling said in Zhihai: "Crazy man Zaiyou, after listening to the dragon's meaning, you don't have to do chores from tomorrow onwards, and you don't need me." Why don't we follow the initial leveling requirements, and I'll leave in a while? The two tokens you added later, please withdraw them as well. ”
"Don't!" The madman Zaiyou hurriedly stopped: "Look at the meaning of the dragon today, yesterday was indeed a temptation of the Taisho Zhao Temple to me, and I don't know what the situation of the lotus leaf is...... Thanks to you this time, good guy Xiao Cheng, otherwise I would be unpredictable now. Now that we've changed the boosting requirements, you can level up for another month. And I am very familiar with some of the exercises and martial arts of the Taisho Zhao Temple, and I was surprised when the dragon taught you martial arts, but today I am fortunate to be you, if it were me, I would definitely be seen by the dragon! ”
"Huh?" Cheng Jingling, who thought that the two extra tokens he earned would be yellow, was pleasantly surprised, and said with some embarrassment: "You pay me the training fee and let me learn the martial arts, this is also ......."
"You're welcome!" The madman Zaiyou interrupted Cheng Jingling's kind words and said seriously: "Thanks to you this month, otherwise I would have been discovered by the Taizheng Zhao Temple, and these would have been regarded as my reward for you!" After you finish the boosting, I will have a small gift to give, so you can rest assured that you can level up here! ”
"Thank you very much!" Cheng Jingling was happy and no longer shirked.
So, in the next month, Cheng Jingling spent the next month smoothly in the hard practice of martial arts.
