Chapter 18 The Five Elements Extinguishing Consciousness Refers to 3
Zhang Pingtian, who was secretly happy in his heart, took over the words as soon as Wang Yuetian's words fell, turned to the Xuanyue Holy Maiden and said
"Xuanyue Holy Maiden, Zhang was originally reluctant to mention the past again. After all, if the blood monk did not choose to stop and continued to fight in that battle, it would be really difficult to say whether the final victory or defeat would be true. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Pingtian deliberately sighed.
Seeing Zhang Pingtian's emotional appearance, Wang Yuetian couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and the Xuanyue Holy Maiden, who was kept in the dark, frowned at Zhang Pingtian with some suspicion and asked
"Was that really the case in World War I?"
When Zhang Pingtian heard this, he whispered to the Xuanyue Holy Maiden
"If the saint doesn't believe it, she can go to the blood monk and ask him face to face. I have no objection to someone. ”
Hearing that Zhang Pingtian actually asked the blood monk to ask, the Xuanyue Holy Maiden couldn't help but believe Wang Yuetian's previous explanation for three points.
How did she know that at this time, Zhang Pingtian already had her own calculations in her heart: after all, the whereabouts of the blood monk were erratic, how could it be so easy to be found. Moreover, even if he learned about this, how could he compete with himself, the master of a sect, as a single outcast of the Miaofa Temple. Relying on his own mouth, the truth is not entirely up to him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Pingtian's face couldn't help but show a smile
At this moment, the Xuanyue Holy Maiden, who was a little hesitant in her heart, spoke again
"Sect Master Zhang, regardless of the truth of the facts back then, what is the relationship between your Five Elements Consciousness Destroying Finger and the battle back then? Where did you learn this fingering?"
Hearing this question from the Xuanyue Holy Maiden, Zhang Pingtian's eyes narrowed slightly, and after muttering for a while, he slowly spoke
"Xuanyue Holy Maiden, in that battle back then, although someone in my chapter was not defeated at the hands of the blood monk, due to the impact of the red blood qi on the meridians, I was seriously injured.
During my recuperation, the Blood Monk's master, the Enlightened Zen Master, followed the traces of the Blood Monk all the way, and finally came to the top of the Cuiyun Peak of my Three Peerless Sects.
Under the guidance of the great elder of our sect, the enlightened Zen master visited Zhang, who was still on the sickbed. He not only healed my wounds, but also taught me this set of fingering techniques for destroying consciousness before leaving. ”
Hearing Zhang Pingtian's words, the Xuanyue Holy Maiden was taken aback and said
"Did the Zen Master of Enlightenment teach you this set of Five Elements Enlightenment Fingering Technique, and why did he do this?"
When Zhang Pingtian heard this, he sighed slightly and said
"Xuanyue Holy Maiden, Master of Enlightenment, as one of the top ten masters in the world who has long been famous, not only has his martial arts cultivation been perfected, but his Buddhist cultivation has also made it difficult for people in the world to reach out to him.
In front of the Master of Enlightenment, the cause of my injury was naturally clear to him. He knew that although my injury was not caused by the blood monk, it was caused by the blood monk.
Therefore, in Zhang's opinion, the reason why Master Wudao taught me this set of exercises may be to make some compensation for the blood monk. ”
When the Xuanyue Holy Maiden heard this, her brows couldn't help frowning
Although Myofa Temple has always disliked fighting, over the years, there have been many foreign cultivators who have come to challenge them and injured their hands, but I have never heard of Myofa Temple come up with any exercises to compensate. Why did the Enlightened Master just compensate you?"
Listening to the aggressive inquiry of the Xuanyue Holy Maiden, Zhang Pingtian's tone turned a little cold, and said
"Xuanyue Holy Maiden, there's no need for someone to lie to you by telling this kind of lie. After all, arranging the lies of the Enlightened Master did not do Zhang someone any good.
As for the real reason why the Enlightened Master passed on my exercises, if you are interested, you can ask him in person when you have the opportunity to meet the Master!"
Hearing Zhang Pingtian say this, the Xuanyue Holy Maiden couldn't help but be stunned, because unlike the blood monk who was uncertain, the enlightened master who had always lived in Lingzhou for a long time would preach the scriptures and praise the Dharma in various parts of Lingzhou every year, and it was indeed very easy to see through this kind of lie.
Just when the Xuanyue Holy Maiden was about to ask again, Wang Yuetian, who had been silent on the side for a long time, suddenly spoke up and said
"Xuanyue Holy Maiden, for the reason why the Master of Enlightenment gave the Master of Enlightenment the Five Elements to Destroy Consciousness, maybe the disciple can solve a question or two for the Holy Maiden. ”
As soon as Wang Yuetian heard this, not only the Xuanyue Holy Maiden, but even Zhang Pingtian was stunned, and couldn't help blurting out
"Do you know the reason why the Enlightenment Master passed on my exercises?"
Hearing Zhang Pingtian's inquiry, Wang Yuetian bowed slightly to him
"The disciple once saw in the secret record that after the master was injured, the meridians were seriously damaged and could not be healed in the short term. It was also for this reason that Shizun missed the opportunity to enter the Lingyun Divine Palace back then, and his status in the sect was also affected to a certain extent.
According to the records of the secret record, the master at that time can be said to be at the lowest point in his life. ”
When Zhang Pingtian heard Wang Yuetian say this, his face couldn't help but change slightly. Seeing this, Wang Yuetian continued
"The disciple just said that in Qingshuang City, the disciple was not angry when he met the blood monk for the first time. At that time, he was in the middle of the Enlightened Master's Trapping Demon Locking Technique, and he could neither kill nor move the killing intent.
After returning to the sect, the disciple found the relevant records of the Demon Locking Technique in the Blood Sea Tower. From that moment on, the disciples learned that there was still a method of living people in the temple that did not aim to kill.
This method of living people does not seek great power like other exercises, but it seeks to better enable people to abandon evil and turn to good. And the Demon Locking Technique is a model of this kind of exercise.
At the same time, the disciple also noticed that the Master of Enlightenment was the culmination of this set of methods for living people, and he was also one of the few Buddhist cultivators who had cultivated the Mind Locking Technique since the establishment of the Temple.
It is said that the reason why this Trapped Demon Locking Mind Technique is difficult to cultivate is because in addition to the extremely high requirements for the cultivation of the cultivator, it also puts forward extremely strict requirements for the cultivator's mind and the Buddha's heart. Only those who have the great compassion of a bodhisattva can eventually attain this technique.
After seeing this description of the Trapping Demon Mind Locking Technique, the disciple kept thinking about how it could be the kind of killing method created by a Buddhist practitioner with great compassion like the Enlightened Master who only pursued power. At that time, the disciple concluded that these five elements of consciousness extinguishing must be the kind of living human technique that saves people from fire and water!"
Wang Yuetian paused slightly when he said this, and said
"The Master must know that the Five Elements Extinguishing Consciousness Finger is the cultivator's stimulation through special qi fingering, so that people temporarily lose the five senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body. For most cultivators, it is more just to use this set of exercises in battle, and use it as a killing move to successfully defeat the enemy.
But when the disciples saw it, this set of exercises was actually a method of salvation created by the enlightened Zen master to save the lost people in the world!"
"The way to save the world?"
"Yes. The disciple remembered that there was a record in the secret record that when the Zen master of Enlightenment first used the Five Elements to extinguish consciousness, he once said a Buddha verse: The human eye is like the moon in the sky of the river, and the virtual shadow is not seen.
At that time, people only paid attention to the power of the five elements of consciousness extinguishment, but did not pay attention to the meaning of this Buddhist verse. ”
"What is the meaning of the Buddha?"
"Yes, the truth that the Buddha wants to explain by the Master of Enlightenment is actually somewhat similar to the Lingyun Divine Palace in front of him, that is, what is real and what is illusory!"
When Wang Yuetian said this, he couldn't help but point to the moon in the sky, and then pointed to the rivers in the distance, and then continued
"Take the Buddha verse of the enlightened master as an example: there is only one true moon in the sky, but there are thousands of rivers on the earth, and thousands of rivers are reflected in the moon, just as it is difficult to distinguish between the virtual and the real.
The moon represents the essence of the world and the truth and truth of all things, while mortals represent the rivers that reflect the moon.
Buddhists believe that while people understand the world with their eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body, they are actually caught up in the attachment to the illusory appearance of the world.
Because of the existence of the five senses, people can recognize the appearance of the world, but because of the existence of the five senses, people cannot touch the truth behind the appearance. And this is the essential reason why mortals cannot see through the changes of reality and reality, the number of causes and effects, and the eternal fall of reincarnation without liberation.
It is for this reason that, in the view of Buddhist practitioners, after human beings have a preliminary understanding of the world through the five senses, they must find a way to get rid of these five senses again, so that they can see the image of the true self hidden behind the illusory.
And only when we find our true self can we forget ourselves and finally reach the realm of selflessness where all aspects are not in appearance, and witness the true appearance of the world. ”
Therefore, from this point of view, the disciple thought that the original intention of the enlightened master to create the Five Elements Extinguishing Consciousness Finger was to help people in the world to practice and to witness the use of the original mind.
If the people of the world can grasp the intention of the master and make good use of this method, so as to clarify the mind and eliminate the delusion, then the world really does not know how many calamities will be reduced, and how much karma will be eliminated!
But unfortunately, there are too many foolish people in this world who regard the Dharma as nothing, and even more so are accustomed to doing evil things with the good Dharma. If it weren't for this reason, I think the Enlightened Master would have spread this Dharma to the world and redeem the world. ”
When Wang Yuetian said this, he couldn't help but bow slightly to Zhang Pingtian
However, in the eyes of the Enlightened Master, the master who was in trouble at that time was obviously a good person who could be rescued and saved in his opinion. Therefore, at that time, the master of enlightenment who could have walked away disregarded the views of the sect and passed on the merit to the master who was born in the Three Peerless Sects for the first time.
Perhaps what the Enlightened Master wanted to see that day was that the master used this method to see his true heart after using this method, let go of the attachment in his heart, and go into hiding with the master who had just married at that time, and spend the rest of his life in peace. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Yuetian let out a long sigh intentionally, and when the Xuanyue Holy Maiden heard Wang Yuetian's words, her originally hesitant face finally showed a hint of understanding.
But Zhang Pingtian, who heard Wang Yuetian's last words, suddenly changed his complexion, and an extremely fierce cold light flashed in his eyes staring at Wang Yuetian!
