Chapter Seventy-Seven: Biography
"Therefore, in order to understand the secrets of the Book of Heaven, it is necessary to first teach the benefactor martial arts. Only in this way can Master Ma Shi fully understand the mysteries of the Book of Heaven. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be like nondescript, martial arts is not like martial arts, and scriptures are not like scriptures. ’
The master nodded and said, 'Well, the junior brother has a point. As far as I know, the Book of Heaven was left on the rivers and lakes for a long time, so there were people in the rivers and lakes who relied on their superhuman comprehension ability to understand some of the skins of the Book of Heaven, such as the 'Sunflower Treasure Book', 'Nine Yin True Scripture' and so on. Although it is nondescript, it is also infinitely powerful, and it has become a martial arts treasure that everyone in the rivers and lakes wants to get. ’”
Qiao Zhengyu heard it familiarly, and said hurriedly: "What? Wait a minute! Why am I so familiar with those martial arts treasures you just said, oh, by the way, but what Huang Shang and Dongfang Undefeated left behind?"
Ma Guangyun smiled: "Well, exactly." These martial arts treasures are broad and profound, unfathomable, and people in the rivers and lakes can become martial arts masters as long as they learn a little fur. But who knows, in fact, these so-called supreme classics of martial arts are just a very small part of Huang Sheng and others cracking the wordless heavenly book, which can be said to be just a few skins, which are not eye-catching at all. ”
Qiao Zhengyu exclaimed: "Oh, there is such a thing. If this is the case, then the wordless book of heaven is not even more terrifying, if someone understands it, it is not the ancients, there is no one after, the strength of martial arts, I can't imagine it. Shaking his head, he said hurriedly: "Then later, did you study the wordless heavenly book and get any inspiration?"
Ma Guangyun smiled and said, "Uncle Qiao, don't worry, wait for me to speak slowly." After taking a sip of tea, he continued: "After the master finished speaking, he said to Yun Daodao: 'Senior brother, from tomorrow onwards, you and I will take turns to teach Master Ma Shi's martial arts, so that he can become a first-class martial arts master in the shortest world. The Yundao people immediately nodded in agreement.
"Later, they sent Master Han and others down the mountain, leaving me alone to teach martial arts. I practiced martial arts with the two masters every day, and I never dared to have the slightest interruption, even if it was windy and rainy, and since then it has been wind and rain. Although I have never practiced martial arts, everything in the world is one and interconnected, and as long as I master the correct method, I can do it at one point, and I can understand everything.
"Therefore, in just half a year in the world, I have changed from a weak scholar who has no power to become a martial arts master who flies the eaves and walks the wall. In addition, I have run through the Buddhist scriptures, giving a new understanding of martial arts moves, so it is like a tiger with wings to a higher level. ”
When Ma Guangyun said this, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the fruit a few feet away jumped up in the air and flew away quickly. was already caught by Ma Guangyun and said: "For example, this remote fetching, just when the martial arts practice reaches a certain level, it will naturally be integrated, and there is no need for special practice." There are also 'floating water magic skills' and so on, which are all some basic martial arts, so I won't say more about them one by one. "Put the fruit back in your hand.
And he said, "Another month passed, and one day, the two masters called me into my room and put the turtle shell in front of me. I took one look at it and said, "Isn't this a turtle shell, I remember seeing it half a year ago, but I didn't ask the two masters too much at that time." ’
"Yun Daoren nodded and said, 'Well, this is the wordless heavenly book. It's just that this treasure contains the highest secret of martial arts in the world, and it is the supreme treasure in the martial arts, so we generally don't take it out easily. You've done it, and of course it's time for him to show up. ’
"I looked carefully, but when I saw that the turtle shell was ordinary, it was no different from the ordinary turtle shell, and I couldn't help asking: 'This is the wordless heavenly book, why is there not a single word written on it?' The master smiled and said, "Since it is a wordless heavenly book, of course there is no word, and the reason why I took it out today is that I want you to study it carefully and see if you can find any way to crack it." ’
"I immediately looked at the shell from beginning to end, and found nothing. When Ma Guangyun said this, he took out something from his sleeve, and it was the turtle shell. Pointing at it, he said: "Uncle Qiao, you see, this is the turtle shell, its surface is smooth and neat, and there is no word, so it is named: 'Wordless Heavenly Book'." ”
Qiao Zhengyu was shocked for a while, and stepped forward to watch carefully. After a while, he said, "Well, it's really nothing curious, if you hadn't explained it to me in advance, I would have thought it was an ordinary turtle shell." ”
Ma Guangyun said: "Uncle Qiao is right, turtle shells like this can be seen everywhere, who will pay attention." At the time, I didn't think so, and although I watched it for a long time, I didn't see any problems. But he was unwilling, so he stepped forward and picked up the book of heaven, ready to take a closer look. At that moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, as if countless images flickered through it.
I was so shocked that I hurriedly put down the book of heaven, and strangely, the shaking images disappeared with it, and my mind returned to calm. It was then that I seemed to understand something, and I was stunned for a moment.
"Seeing that my expression was abnormal, the master asked, 'Master Mashi, have you noticed something, I saw that you were acting strangely just now, as if you had some new clue?'
"I didn't hide it, and I told you what I just happened right now. When the master heard this, he suddenly realized, and said, 'Oh, you might as well try again and see if you can find anything.' I nodded, picked up the book again, and suddenly, that strange feeling appeared again, and the picture became clearer and clearer, like some strange moves, as if it was right in front of me.
The master nodded and said, "That's it, there are no strange words in this heavenly book, and it turns out that all the answers are in my mind." If it weren't for the lack of cultivation or the lack of fate, they wouldn't be able to open the Book of Heaven at all. Even if it can be opened, it depends on the level of cultivation of each person, so what they understand in their minds is different.
"For example, my junior brother and I have extremely limited cultivation, so the information we get is also limited. Therefore, the more you read more and the higher the realm of recuperation, the more you will understand the Book of Heaven. Especially people like Ma Shizhu, who are familiar with the world's Buddhist scriptures, are even more different than ordinary people. Therefore, the Book of Heaven has no secrets for him, it is all in his mind. ’
"Yun Dao said: 'No wonder we have not been able to understand the Book of Heaven, it turns out that there are so many famous halls here, even if ordinary people get the Book of Heaven, it is useless to not practice enough.
"The person who designed the Book of Heaven is also a genius, if it is not a person who is both civil and military, he cannot understand the Book of Heaven, and a person who is both civil and military must be benevolent and righteous, wise and good, and is by no means a vicious and sinister person. The reason for this is also to prevent the Book of Heaven from falling into the wrong hands. ’
When the two of them figured it out, they laughed a few times and hugged each other. But in a blink of an eye, the two of them hugged their heads and cried, crying and saying, "Master, the mystery of the Book of Heaven has finally been solved, and your old man can sleep peacefully." I choked up, I was so sad that I cried so much that I couldn't extricate myself.
After a while, the two of them suddenly lost their voices. I stepped forward to watch, but I saw that the two of them were hugging each other, and they had been out of breath for a long time, but the difference was that they both had smiles on their faces, and it was clear that there was no pain when they left.
"I thought to myself: 'In order to understand the Book of Heaven, one became a monk and the other became a Taoist priest, and they lived a pure life all their lives, but they never understood the Book of Heaven. Today, the Book of Heaven has been broken, and the two of them have no worries, but they are going with their master. I couldn't help but sigh to myself.
I couldn't bear to see them go away like this, so I chose a beautiful place and buried them together. Now when it is time for their death day, although it is thousands of miles away, I do not forget to go to visit, burn paper and insert incense. After all, they once taught me martial arts, and they are also my masters, and in doing so, they can be regarded as fulfilling their filial piety. ”
When Ma Guangyun said this, his eyes were red, and a few tears swirled in his eyes, but he finally controlled it and did not fall. After a while, he felt rude, adjusted his mood, and said to Qiao Zhengyu: "Let Uncle Qiao smile." ”
Then he sat down and said: "Later, I took the Book of Heaven to practice hard in the mountains, and my hard work paid off, and finally let me practice all the martial arts in the Book of Heaven." I was overjoyed and hurried home, but strangely enough, when I got home, there was no one in the house.
"And when I said my name, the family kicked me out, calling me a madman and a liar. I was puzzled, so I went to the city to find out, and it was only later that I learned that my father had been dead for many years, and that the family property had been taken over by the housekeeper. In order to occupy the property, the housekeeper asked someone to perform this play carefully.
"I was disheartened and wanted to go to the housekeeper to settle the score. When I was halfway there, I suddenly said in my heart: 'Hey, what about taking away the property, do I have to be pressed by the silver for the rest of my life?' Although my father has no shortage of money in his life, he has rarely been happy, in the end, it is not the silver that is doing the trick, rather than this, it is better to live a free and happy life, why suffer that sin again. ’
Suddenly he woke up, and his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately turned around and went out of the city, deciding to wander around. Later, I wandered for decades, experienced various famous mountains and historical sites, and finally chose to settle down here and live a life without fighting. Later, there was the arrival of the second and third brothers, and although life was a list, it was carefree and uncomfortable. ”
When Qiao Zhengyu heard this, his admiration arose spontaneously, and he hugged his fists and said: "Ma Daxia sees through the fame and fortune in the world, and is not moved by money and power, Qiao Zhengyu asks himself if he can't do this, admire." ”
Ma Guangyun smiled and said, "Uncle Qiao has won the award, but in fact, I am not as great as you say." In addition to the reason I just did, there was actually another reason why I did this, which was to keep the Heavenly Book for my two masters, which was also their wish when they were dying. ”
Qiao Zhengyu nodded and said, "Well, the book of heaven is the treasure of martial arts, who in the rivers and lakes doesn't want to have it." If you are in the rivers and lakes again.
