Chapter 30: Wounded
Tai Xuanyun "moved sideways" and followed behind the Shaolin monk, and the two of them went one after the other, running to at least the mountain behind the forest, and the Shaolin monk stopped.
The monk turned around and stood still, only to see that the monk's eyebrows and beards were white, his face was full of wind and frost, and his wrinkles were full of years. He put his hands together on his chest and made a Buddhist salute: "Amitabha, this Taoist monk, the monk is polite! I don't know if it is from the Quanzhen Sect, Longhu Mountain or Laoshan Mountain?"
Taixuan said: "The master is polite, since I came in the middle of the night and came with a mask, naturally I won't tell the master where I came from!"
The old monk said: "Amitabha Buddha, famous and nameless, all illusory, Buddha and ants, all are ordinary. It's the old monk who looks good. But I don't know what the layman is saying about sneaking into the Scripture Pavilion late at night?"
Tai Xuan smiled and said, "Why is the master so hypocritical, if you don't know where I came, why do you follow me in the middle of the night and suck this Ranga Sutra away?"
The old monk said: "Knowing is not knowing, not knowing is knowing, the heart is born, all kinds of demons are born, the heart is destroyed, all kinds of demons are destroyed, evil thoughts together have their own three thousand heavenly demons in the mortal, righteous thoughts are naturally invincible to all evils in life." Perhaps the last thought of the layman was born of greed, delusion, and greed for the secret book of divine power. The next thought is that because the mind has a wisdom root, I want to get close to the Dharma. One thought of the past, one thought of the present, one thought of the future, so although the layman is still the same, he belongs to the Buddha and the devil?"
Taixuan smiled and said: "The Buddha is the Tao, the demon is also the Tao, eating when you are hungry is the Tao, sleeping when you are sleepy is the Tao, and the whole mind is the Tao, so it is the Tao that I come to borrow the scriptures together with my heart! Shakya once said that I am the only one in heaven and on the earth! My heart is the Tao, and the monk wants to prevent me from seeking the Tao?"
The old monk said: "Amitabha! If the layman's martial arts are not so attained, I can give this "Jiuyang Sutra" to the layman, inherit my treasure scroll and receive my cause and effect, and then even if I don't enter my Buddhism, there will be a day of cause and effect. However, the layman has practiced the martial arts of the Daomen, and the Taoist heart is firm, and then he got this "Jiuyang True Sutra" only to take the road of the layman's martial arts to a higher level, but it is not beneficial to my Buddhism, you must know that the law can not be passed on lightly, and the Tao cannot be passed on lightly, and the old monk cannot give this scripture to the layman!"
Taixuan said: "The master's words are wrong, as far as I know, the person who wrote the "Jiuyang True Scripture" was first Confucian, then Taoist, and then Buddha, and it was also created from the hands of my Taoist Chongyang Zhenren to view the supreme secret book of my Taoist Sect "Jiuyin True Scripture", the master handed it to me today, didn't it happen to repay the cause and effect of the book borrowed by Chongyang Zhenren that day! Why should the master be obsessed, and then say that the four major monks are empty, why can't they see through the fame and fortune?
The old monk muttered: "The monks are empty, but after all, it is a person and not a Buddha, this Buddha is not a blessing for me, I can't do it regardless of the rise and fall of my Buddhism, and my Shaolin is now very injured, and the temple is closed, the old monk does not say that it is Shaolin, what to do for Buddhism, but it must not be an enemy, and this "Jiuyang Sutra" will be handed over to the layman, and the layman will go down the mountain!"
Taixuan said: "Since I have gone up to this Shaomu Mountain today and can see the true scriptures is my fate, how can I go back empty-handed, it is useless to say more, monk, let's still rely on our own abilities!"
Taixuan said that he flew up, and his right hand was hit with a palm "Heart-destroying Palm", the palm wind was fierce, and the old monk did not dare to slack off when he saw Taixuan's palm, and his right hand swung up, and a palm "Mighty King Kong Palm" played the palm wind whistling, and Taixuan's palm was together.
Taixuan only felt that a huge palm force was against his right hand, and he was busy increasing his internal force and constantly rushing towards the old monk, and the old monk also increased his internal force to confront Taixuan.
About half a cup of tea, Taixuan suddenly weakened his internal force, took advantage of the old monk's palm power and flew back, drew the long sword behind his back, and killed it, the old monk said: "Amitabha, don't you hear that my Shaolin Golden Bell Jar is invulnerable to swords and guns, and all poisons are invulnerable?"
Tai Xuan said coldly: "The Golden Bell Jar Dacheng is indeed invulnerable, but I don't know how many layers you have practiced, old monk, can you block the sword!"
The old monk was taken aback when he saw it, although his golden bell jar was not as good as the Bodhidharma Patriarch who practiced to the twelfth layer of invulnerability, and was invulnerable to all poisons, but he also practiced to the eighth layer, and he had reached the point where his whole body was not injured by sharp weapons, and only three inches of the door were left, no matter whether the opponent's attack was strong or weak, it sent out a fierce countershock, and the middle one was either killed or injured. However, this sword is not a sharp weapon, but it is condensed by innate true qi, specializing in breaking all kinds of body protection magic skills, golden body magic methods, and no longer dare to stay in place.
The old monk carried the "reed across the river", flew up, stretched out his right hand, and shouted: "Daomen sword mang, look at my Shaolin wood-burning knife technique!"
Taixuan was holding a sword and flying to chase after the old monk, but he didn't expect a knife qi to split, and he hurriedly made the "horizontal movement" flash to the right, only to see the red knife qi split to the big tree on the side, the big tree broke at the waist, and burned from the fracture, and the flames were majestic in an instant.
After Taixuan avoided to the side, he made the "Tiangang Swordsmanship" and "Kuixing Kick Fight" a sword gang flew out and flew straight towards the old monk, the old monk flew to avoid it, and the sword smashed the mountain stones on the side.
Taixuan's long sword shook, followed the old monk and slashed straight behind, and the old monk shot out a red sword qi, which was against Taixuan's sword gang, and immediately shot with great energy, beating the surrounding trees to pieces.
Taixuan and the old monk fought around, messing up a good grove and shattering the surrounding rocks.
After fighting for a long time, one turned around, Taixuan stabbed the old monk's left chest with a sword, passed through the chest, the old monk's right hand was slashed horizontally, and he was going to cut at Taixuan's throat, but when his hand came to Taixuan's body, he raised his hand horizontally, and hit Taixuan's chest with a palm, beating Taixuan out, but Taixuan did not forget to hit the old monk's right chest before flying out.
The blood in the old monk's mouth spurted directly, and the blood from the sword wound on his left chest was also direct, if the Kunlun landslide fell to the ground, Taixuan was beaten by the old monk and flew up, hitting a big tree, and the blood in his mouth was like a blowout.
Tai Xuan struggled to stand up, only to feel pain everywhere in his chest, and the meridians in his chest were injured, but Tai Xuan didn't care about this, put the sword on the ground, looked at the old monk coldly, and said, "Why? You could have killed me?"
The old monk struggled to sit up, sat cross-legged, pointed a few of his acupoints to stop the bleeding, and smiled at Taixuan: "Amitabha, how can a monk kill! Not to mention that the poor monk is already angry when he fights with the layman today, how can he hurt the layman's life again." Besides, the layman has an extraordinary background, if there is a good and bad person, it will definitely cause a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism! My Shaolin is already greatly injured, except for the old monk, there is no peerless master, if a group of masters from the Taoist Gate come, I am afraid that my Buddha incense will be broken!"
He spat out blood and said: "The layman is still young, just like the Japanese side, but the old monk is about to die, and it is not far from the Pure Land of Bliss in the West Heaven, but this Jiuyang True Scripture really can't be handed over to the layman, and I hope the layman will forgive me!"
Taixuan's long sword was put into the sheath, and he said coldly: "In this case, today I will retreat from Shaolin Mountain, if you don't die for a day, I won't go to Shaolin for a day, and if he meets you Shaolin people in the rivers and lakes one day, I will let him live!"
Speaking of which, Taixuan picked up the "Spiral Nine Shadows" and went straight down the mountain?
