Chapter 17: Initial Enlightenment
"Yes, Master. Wuyan asked Wang Lin to rehearse, although he didn't remember much, he had to agree hard.
Started his hands, opened his hands on both sides, and then a set of punches was beaten out by Wang Lin very stiffly. Although I only remember seven, seven, eight, and eight, I have a good appearance.
The biggest difference is that the faceless punch is like a dragon roaring and the tiger roaring, and the fist of Wang Lin is like a sick cat and a lazy snake, and he can't afford to ......
At the end, Wang Lin also pressed his hands down on his chest, and then turned his head to look at Wuyan, he wanted to know what Wuyan would say.
"Well, the moves are almost memorized, and the rest is a long time of hard practice. Cultivation is not a trick, just think about it. Often only hundreds of years of perseverance can be achieved, remember?" Wuyan encouraged Wang Lin.
"Remember, Master. I will practice diligently in the future, and I don't dare to relax for a day!" Wang Lin said in a firm tone with bright eyes.
"Okay, now let's talk about the shortcomings in your boxing just now. When you throw a punch, your heart is not still, and there is no way to punch it. To imagine being in a desperate situation, every moment has to be interpreted with life. Wuyan pointed out the deficiencies in Wang Lin's boxing technique.
"Yes, Master. But isn't this called "Mercy Hand", how do I feel like every move is going to take the opponent's life?" Wang Lin felt strange when he saw Wuyan boxing, and he felt even more that this was a killing stunt when he practiced it himself, not focusing on the defense of the body, but focusing on the opponent's vital point!
"This is indeed a physical technique of killing, every move and every style emphasizes the exchange of life for life, and if the enemy does not die, he will die by himself!" But in this kind of world, if you want to strive for the top, then it is impossible to blindly tolerate and tolerate everyone.
Wang Lin looked at Wuyan's current appearance, his face changed slightly and he stopped talking, although he had many doubts in his heart, but he felt that it was not good to ask.
"Do you think that the people of Buddhism are compassionate, why are their martial arts really so vicious?"
Wang Lin nodded, he didn't expect that the question he didn't dare to ask was said by Wuyan first.
"What do you think compassion is?" asked Wuyan continued.
Wang Lin thought about it, shook his head and didn't speak, he felt that this question was a bit too profound for him now.
"The people of Dawn are in distress, is it not mercy to give soup soup in the famine years!" said Wuyan in a deep voice. There was a lot of unquestioning in his tone.
"Yes!" Wang Lin's heart fluctuated violently, and his answer was full of anger.
"There are many robbers and bandits in remote and backward places, who often plunder merchants and people, and even commit heinous crimes, and the punishment is not merciful!"
"Yes!"
"Isn't it compassion to treat others when they are in physical pain?"
"Yes!"
"Sometimes you have to kill people first to save people, just like some evil cultivators will practice with the blood and lives of ordinary people, is it not mercy to kill them!"
"Yes!"
Wuyan asked four questions in a row, all of them in a loud voice, like a dusk drum and morning bell. Although Wang Lin could only answer yes, one by one was louder than the other, and the more he answered, the more brilliant the light in his eyes became! Like a morning star on the edge of the sun, although it was small, it was also persistent and bright. Because these are things of mercy!
Wuyan's eyes lowered, and he asked Wang Lin another question, "Xiaolin, is the knife used by the doctor sharp?"
"Sharp, otherwise it will be very painful when treating the sick. Wang Lin thought for a while.
"But if it's used to kill people, isn't it also easy?" As soon as the faceless voice came out, it seemed that evil winds were blowing around him, making it difficult for people to breathe like a sea of blood.
"Uh-uh...... The knife used by the doctor can cut the skin with a slight stroke, and if it is used to kill people, it really does not take much effort. Wang Lin said stubbornly.
"Even if it is a doctor's knife, it is compassion to use it to heal the sick and save people. It is a crime to kill people and do evil, have you ever thought that these have anything to do with knives?" Wuyan said here, and his tone suddenly paused.
Wang Lin lowered his head and thought deeply, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up, "Master, I understand." Whether it's a sharp knife, a cure, or a dangerous method. In fact, there is no distinction between good and evil, and it is the people who use them who distinguish them from good and evil. ”
In an instant, Wang Lin seemed to understand something, and his mind was much more transparent, as if a piece of jade covered with dust had been washed by rain.
"Yes, the peach and plum do not speak, and the bottom is self-contained. People praise Tao Li for his virtue, but what did Tao Li do? He didn't do anything, and people just came to enjoy the coolness. ”
"Arsenic is poisonous, and people hate them, but what does arsenic do to do nothing, and the evildoers kill them. ”
"In the world, good and evil exist in people's hearts, and they have little to do with external things. Just like this "Mercy Hand" is a fatal trick, but if you have a compassionate heart, then it is merciful. It can also be used to save the world. Do you understand?" Wuyan said a lot in order to let Wang Lin put down the burden in his heart, and was afraid that he would not understand good and evil and would be lost by the technique.
"I see, Master. Good and evil are determined by man, and have nothing to do with other things. Whatever it is, it cannot be explained by good or evil, but by whose hands it is. Just like a sharp sword and spear, in the hands of bandits, it is a tool to oppress the people, and in the hands of the army, it is the people's umbrella!"
The doubts that arose because I felt that "Mercy Hand" was too fatal were swept away, which was a kind of mental torture, not a simple question.
If a person has doubts about his own things, then he will have a dislike for them, and thus harm himself.
Just like many big people did things smoothly in the early stage, and they became lucky in trouble. And in the later stage, when things are almost done, they begin to go downhill, and the big cause that should have been achieved in one leap has become fragmented.
The reason for this is largely due to suspicion of his own subordinates. In the past, when there was nothing, everyone trusted them because they had nothing but their hands.
When everything is almost settled, and the world is almost or already in their hands, they will doubt each other, afraid that these people who helped them back then will steal their own things like themselves.
There's a classic saying, "I didn't expect you to want more than I could give!!"
Now Wang Lin has his own views on the attitude towards external objects, and understands that good and evil only exist in people's hearts, and not about external things. In the future, when encountering the same thing, there will be no more suspicions, and this kind of thing will affect him very little.
"The first step in the path of Buddhism is the development of the six realms of eyes, ears, tongue, nose, body, and mind, and the understanding of one's own mind. Now you have a preliminary understanding of your mind, and when your physical fitness improves, you can enter the first step of the Buddha path and the day after tomorrow. Wuyan said: "Now you should practice more boxing and find more shortcomings, I'll go back first, you can practice a few more times and go back." We'll set off again tomorrow. ”
"Yes, Master. After Wang Lin saw Wuyan leave, he rehearsed by himself.
He slowly recalled Wuyan's movements, and then combined with Wuyan's guidance to him just now, he corrected himself over and over again.
"This is a means of dealing with the enemy in front of you, with your left hand to strike forward, and then the free right hand can be immediately responded. Wang Lin said to himself.
"It's a counter-attacking move. Wang Lin elbowed his right hand, then turned backwards and punched with his left hand.
......
Wang Lin practiced more than ten times in a row, and analyzed all the mistakes and omissions or attack methods he could think of.
"Huh......" Wang Lin pressed his hands down on his chest and closed his fists.
"It's time to go back, many of the shops in the market are closed. Wang Lin glanced at the bazaar, and then walked back, where the light could no longer allow him to discern things well.
