Chapter 16: Elder Yuankong

The next day, Qi Dafu rented a Mercedes-Benz business car at the hotel and drove to Wan'an Temple in the depths of Wanlong Mountain. Wan'an Temple is located in the deep mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, without the fire of war, it is very well preserved, since ancient times, the great monks emerge in endlessly, and the scale has been not small under the operation for many years. In the past ten years, the economic development of Yanlong Kingdom has surged, the number of believers has surged, the money and materials donated are sufficient, and the temple has expanded a lot.

The car was parked in a large parking lot outside the mountain gate, and the five people walked into the mountain gate, and a clean bluestone ancient road led directly to the temple. The giant trees on both sides of the ancient road are towering, the stone stele stands in a forest, all of them are planted and engraved by the celebrities of the past dynasties, each ancient tree and each stele have a history and a story, this is also a famous scene of Wan'an Temple. If you want to understand them one by one, you can't finish them in three days and three nights. Where is the person who walked into the mountain gate still in the mood to see the scenery, he walked like a fly around the oncoming Tianwang Palace, and ran to the back of the temple, the North Xuan was a little unable to keep up, and Qi Dafu and the two entourages were left far behind.

Several monks in the temple came from afar, saw Fan Du stop and said, "Amitabha, I have been traveling for more than a year, and my uncle often misses you." ”

After returning the salute and greeting a few words, several senior brothers saw that he was in a state of distraction, so they waved their hands and said, "Look at the senior brother who is in a hurry, hurry up." ”

Lifan asked a senior brother to help take care of Qi Dafu and the three of them, and he took Bei Xuanru and flew away. There is a green bamboo forest in a quiet valley behind the temple, there is a clearing in the middle of the bamboo forest, a few vegetable fields and a small meditation room, which looks quiet and elegant.

Lifan knelt down in front of the meditation room, mixed with joy and sorrow, and said with tears in his eyes: "Teacher, the disciple has come back." ”

A clear voice came from the meditation room: "Amitabha, Lifan is back, bring the guests into the meditation room for a while." ”

Lifan took the lead in pushing the door in, only to see a statue of a thousand-armed Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined on the offering table in the middle of the meditation room. In front of the holy statue, there was a green smoke, and on the top of the futon on the right side of the offering table, there was an elder about seventy years old, with a clear appearance, gentle eyes, white eyebrows, and a kind expression, and looked at Fan and Bei Mingxuan with a smile, it was Elder Yuankong, and the two hurriedly greeted him.

The elder pointed to his left: "This is Lord Lin, and the old man is talking with the donor." ”

Only then did the two of them notice that there was a young man sitting on the lower futon on the left side of the elder, dressed in gray and white casual clothes, with a flat haircut, sword eyebrows, big eyes, and a melon-shaped face, which was very sunny and vibrant. The young man stood up and saluted the two of them, and introduced each other to find out that the young man was Lin Feng from Shengjing, and Lin Feng learned that all the closed disciples of Elder Yuankong were also very respectful.

He repeated the phrase "Beiming?" to Bei Mingxuan with some surprise, obviously also misunderstanding the identity of Bei Mingxuan.

Bei Mingxuan hurriedly explained: "Brother Lin, don't misunderstand, the younger brother's family lives in Yuexiu City, Jiangnan Province, not from Yunpeng City. ”

Lin Feng shook his head and laughed: "The Northern Underworld Brothers are extraordinary, and in the future, the Jiangbei Beiying Family will definitely be proud of the Northern Underworld Brothers." ”

Lin Feng chatted with the two of them for a few words and wanted to say goodbye, but the mage stopped and said: "There is no need to be like this, the previous discussion was unsuccessful, and it happened that the apprentice and the benefactor of the Northern Underworld returned, and it was also the fate of the law, so we can talk about it together." ”

These days, he has read a lot of Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures, and he wants to talk to the masters, and he has no interest in talking about the scriptures and sayings, and he is in the middle of it today.

Lin Feng said: "I was talking to the elders about the Buddhist scriptures, and I was talking about the Sutra asked by Siyi Brahma, and the establishment of the Dharma in the sutra said: At that time, Siyi Brahma was the prince of Manjushri, and he should ask Rulai to protect the Sutra, and when he was 500 years old, he would be widely spread. Manjushri said: Yu Yiyunhe, the Buddha is a sutra, there is a law, there is a saying, there is a show, but you can protect the mind. Siyiyan: No. Brahma, therefore, should know that all the Dharma is not said or revealed, and there is no protection of the Dharma, and the Dharma is indestructible and cannot be protected, and if you want to protect this Dharma, you want to protect the void. ”

He paused and then said, "That being the case, and in the subsequent treatises of the heavens: At that time, Buddha Manjushri Bai said: May the World-Honored One protect the Dharma and in the next life, five hundred years later, Guangxuanliu will spread this Yan Futi, so that he can live for a long time. Please teach me, why is Manjushri inconsistent?"

Elder Yuankong said: "Lord Lin has a heart, and he is well-informed and has a strong memory to study the Dharma, if the donor thinks about it, what is the solution?"

Lin Feng took a look: "I thought that Manjushri Bodhisattva saw that Siyi Brahma Bodhisattva was quite respected by the world, and he relied on his identity to force reasoning and suppress the limelight of Brahma Bodhisattva." ”

The mage smiled and didn't answer, but turned his head and asked, "Can the Northern Hell Donor feel something?"

Bei Ming Xuan Zhengse said: "My perception is not the same as Brother Lin. ”

Lin Feng said: "I would like to hear the high arguments of the Northern Brothers." ”

Bei Mingxuan looked at Elder Yuankong, and the elder said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Bei Mingxuan said: "If it is as Brother Lin said, it will not be called "Siyi Brahma Asks", let alone "Manjushri Commentary". In the humble opinion of the younger brother, the "Sutra of Protection" mentioned by Siyi Brahma Bodhisattva refers to the Dharma shown in the words and words of the Sutra, and it is the Sutra itself, which is to lose its roots, and Manjushri Bodhisattva has insight, so he discusses and teaches. In this sutra, the Buddha has already concluded: The Dharma that I have obtained is invisible, inaudible, imperceptible, unrecognizable, undesirable, unattainable... There are no words, no words, no words. Therefore, the Dharma is empty and cannot be protected. The Buddhist scriptures remember that the Buddha and his disciples preached the scriptures and discussed the Tao, and the essence of the Dharma has always been that it can only be understood but not spoken. After that, Manjushri asked the World-Honored One to "protect the Dharma by mind", but the essence of the Dharma protector is to protect the believers and teachers who are widely proclaimed, so that they will not be disturbed, so that the public can hear the Dharma, believe in it, and believe in it. If so, please ask the elders and Brother Lin for advice. ”

Lin Feng nodded with a smile and said nothing, and Elder Yuankong said: "The two donors have unique insights, their understanding of Buddhism, and their perspectives are all new. ”

Bei Mingxuan and Lin Feng were busy.

The elder said: "The Heart Sutra says: It is the emptiness of all laws. Buddhism has no appearance, a cloud, people see its shape, people see its formlessness, people see it know that the rain is coming, people see it is cool and cool. Everyone in the world has to talk about right and wrong, what is wrong and what is wrong? The benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise, and the two donors evaluate the Dharma, the Dharma is inherently empty, how can it be right or wrong? There is no distinction between high and low, but with the heart, if you gain understanding, you will attain the Tao. ”

The three of them were silent when they heard what the elder said, as if they had an understanding.

For a long time, Lin Feng and Bei Mingxuan both bowed to each other: "Elder Gao, we will be taught." ”

Elder Chorus: "Amitabha." ”

Lin Feng hugged his fist to the North Ming Xuan and said: "The North Ming brothers are like old at first sight, and Beijing can find me in the future, and the younger brother should do the friendship of the landlord, and there are a few friends who are worthy of the North Ming brothers." ”

Bei Mingxuan also liked his good words, although he was like an old friend at first sight, he hurriedly replied: "If you go to the capital in the future, you will definitely disturb Brother Lin, don't think the younger brother is rude." ”

Lin Feng laughed and said, "I can't ask for it, dare not sweep the couch to greet him." ”

Several people told each other their ages, Lin Feng was the oldest at twenty-five years old, Bei Mingxuan was twenty-two years old, and Li Fan was nineteen years old. After Lin Feng left, Lifan told his mentor what had happened to him, and Elder Yuankong repeatedly thanked Bei Mingxuan.

Beiming Xuanqian said: "The boy and the fan met in prison, and the friends in danger were like old friends at first sight, and now there is more brotherhood, which is what the kid should be." During this period of time, I have benefited a lot from the teachings of Fan, and the wind and waves along the way have relied on the support of Fan, the kid has done a favor, the elder must not be more polite, the kid is ashamed. ”

Elder Yuankong looked at Bei Ming Xuan seriously, nodded and said: "The donor of the North Ming doesn't need to be humble, I know that I know that I have been raised by Lao Wei and have lived and practiced martial arts in the temple since I was a child. He has a mellow nature, and he treats people with sincerity and loses this, regardless of the good and the bad, and he still needs to be trained in the world. ”

Bei Mingxuan said with a smile: "The Tao Sutra says: I am good for the good, and I am good for the ungood, and I am good." Everything has been done. ”

The two laughed, and they didn't know why the two laughed, and they laughed together.

In the next three days, Lifan took the North Ming Xuan and Qi Dafu to worship and view the scenery in various places in the temple, under the care of the elders of Yuankong, and went to the Buddha Light Pagoda behind the temple to pay homage to the Buddha relics enshrined in the top worship tower, and refer to the Buddhist classics and ancient books collected in the temple. Qi Dafu also tended to play around with the two, sincerely worshipped, and scattered countless money. Feeling his generosity and piety, Master Benyuan, the presiding officer of Wan'an Temple, invited him to meet. Qi Dafu suffered from the change of Fan Sha, his temperament changed greatly, and he left his contact information after a few days in the temple and returned to Wulin City in advance.

Lifan begged Elder Yuankong to ask his teacher to teach Bei Mingxuan to practice the ancient martial arts, and Yuankong asked Bei Mingxuan meaningfully what he meant. The person who has seven exquisite tricks in the North Underworld, who doesn't know that the elder has the idea of accepting disciples, he visits according to the ancient rites, and he is overjoyed to be about to accept the North Underworld Xuan.

Of course, Bei Mingxuan didn't know the status of Elder Yuankong in the Ancient Martial Realm, and he was able to worship under the Elder's Sect, and he didn't know how many Ancient Martial Arts cultivators were envious, jealous and hateful. Bei Mingxuan called home to report his safety, and only said that he would rest in Wan'an Temple for a few days.

Bei Mingxuan stayed in the temple, and every day he and Fan were taught by Elder Yuankong, so that he really entered the ancient martial arts path and knew the mysteries of the inner family's exercises. The martial arts practiced in the past, even if they are as profound as Tai Chi exercises, are naturally not inferior to ancient martial arts in terms of artistic conception, and their essence is fundamentally different, and the martial arts handed down from generation to generation are just the surface of ancient martial arts. Dantian gas storage, internal force operation, health and fitness, and simple strength are essentially different.

The inner qi absorbed from heaven and earth is stored in the dantian in the body to form the internal qi, and the internal qi is used in the tendons and veins according to the exercises, and the effect is completely different from the original strength of his body alone. Internal qi can be transported between the skin and bones, strengthening the offensive and defensive forces, forming a protective layer, and can also be concentrated in one place to quickly heal injuries. In addition, after practicing ancient martial arts, it can also prolong life, drive away diseases and prevent poisons, and the magic of using it is not something that people other than ancient martial arts practitioners can imagine. The foundation of ancient martial arts is internal qi, and the secret techniques of moves exist on this basis.

After learning the ancient martial arts method "Shushan True Yuan Gong" taught by Elder Yuankong, when he entered the meditation and practice, he found that through the absorption of the exercises, the Yuan Force in the air was gradually stored in the sea of qi called Xia Dantian. Through the observation of consciousness, these Yuan Qi are somewhat similar to the cool aura stored in his upper dantian, which is composed of those colorful light points in the air, but the cool aura is more refined and pure, completely composed of colorful light points, and the Yuan Qi contains some "impurities" in the air, of course, these impurities are also relative to the colorful light points themselves, which also have an effect on his body.

Because he has the sea of consciousness and the consciousness that can swim in his body, he has a strong spiritual power, and the effect of his cultivation is amazing. After the initial accumulation of a part of the Yuan Qi in the Qi Sea, he rotated the Yuan Qi in the Qi Sea into a whirlpool according to his experience, and the powerful suction of the whirlpool multiplied his ability to absorb the Yuan Qi. Moreover, he found that the consumption of his mental power to control the Yuan Qi was much smaller than the consumption of controlling the Cool Aura, and he could only hold on to the Cool Aura for two hours now, but he could last for six hours to control the Yuan Qi.

When he went out to practice with Fan Chen for four hours the next day due to the exhaustion of his mental power, Elder Yuankong was shocked. In just one night, he, a newly acquired disciple, had already completed the accumulation of the basic vitality of the dantian, and he was already able to impact the tendons and veins to open up the acupuncture points. Li Fan is considered a genius of ancient martial arts cultivation, and it took him half a year to complete the accumulation of basic vitality, while it only took one day for Bei Ming Xuan. Although Elder Yuankong was an ancient martial artist, it was impossible for him to know that Bei Mingxuan had a sea of consciousness because of a near-death experience, and by chance, his sea of consciousness was still very powerful.

The basic vitality accumulation of ancient martial arts, the most difficult thing is the sense of qi, just capturing this sense of qi is not an overnight effort, there is no consciousness, it is even more difficult to guide the sense of qi to enter, that is, the vitality to enter the sea of qi. As long as the captured qi sensation enters the sea of qi and the habit is formed, this accumulation process is very simple. It doesn't take any effort to capture and guide the vitality, it is a matter of course, and with the strong absorption power of his vitality vortex, it is not unusual for him to complete the accumulation in one day.

After that, the vitality impact tendons and veins to open up the acupuncture points also didn't take much energy for Bei Mingxuan, but in three days, he had already opened up the basic tendons and veins of the running exercises, which could form a weekly operation. The Zhou Tian operation of the Yuan Qi is equally important, and only after passing the Zhou Tian operation will the Yuan Qi be further refined and become the internal Qi connected with one's own mind. The stored energy is the raw material, the veins are the machine, the Zhou Tian operation is the process of product manufacturing, and the internal gas is the final product. After the operation of the week, the vitality is converted into internal force and then injected into the sea of qi, the internal force and the vitality are mixed and blended, the vitality dilutes the internal qi, and the internal qi purifies the vitality.

After opening up the basic tendons and veins and the internal force grows to a certain extent, you can open up the subsequent tendons and veins according to the guidance of the exercises, and increase the line of Zhoutian operation. In the end, when all the muscles and veins of the whole body are opened, and the internal qi can complete the operation of the Great Zhou Tian in the body, the speed of converting and absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth will reach the fastest, and then it is necessary to consider how to refine the internal force and compress the internal force. Bei Mingxuan was still experienced in this, and a month later, he had opened up all the tendons and veins and acupuncture points of the whole body as shown by the True Yuan Gong of Shushan. Also due to the existence of cyclones in the Qi Sea, the degree of condensation of the internal force in the Qi Sea was much higher than that of ordinary Ancient Martial Arts cultivators.

When the internal qi ran to the head, he tried to fuse the cool aura and the internal qi in the upper dantian, but found that the cool aura that was far less than the internal qi in terms of quantity did not allow the internal qi to come close at all. Moreover, when the internal qi passes through the tendons and acupoints of the head, it will consciously avoid the cool aura, and even when there is a conflict between their running routes, the internal qi will automatically contract to make way for the passage and the cool aura well water will not interfere with the river water.

Through comparison, Bei Mingxuan found that the tendons and veins in the head were much higher than those in other parts in terms of width and toughness, so even if two gases passed through at the same time, it would not have any effect. What's more, the cool aura in the upper dantian is only under the purity of the green vine treasure gourd, slowly increasing in quality, but the total amount has not been able to change, and it has been dormant in the upper dantian, so in fact, the opportunity for the cool aura to use the tendons and veins is very rare.
