Chapter 115: Thirty percent grasp
"What, you say, I am more likely to learn this skill than Master?" Shan He, whose eyes widened, seemed to have heard a big joke, and shook his head and laughed:
"Hehe, master, don't tease me, I have a few pounds and a few taels, I know it in my heart. Speaking of the talent of martial arts alone, I am at least 108,000 miles away from my master. He can't even learn it, and I'm sure I'm even more useless!"
"Little one, you don't have confidence in yourself like that?" Hearing this, Forget Ring smiled first, and then continued:
"Alas, if you want to talk about talent, judging from your current cultivation, it is indeed far from the peak. I remember that when your master was in his early twenties, he already had the cultivation of the eighth layer of the Tun Ladder. Moreover, except for the Nine Zen Fingers, no other martial arts, no matter how difficult or easy, none of them he learned in more than three days. I have to say that he is indeed a gifted prodigy......"
Speaking of the peak, a faint sadness crossed the face of the forgetful ring. After a pause, Fang said again:
However, even with such talent, for three years, he still couldn't understand the mystery of the Nine Zen Fingers. Similarly, many extremely talented disciples in the temple are like him, no matter how hard they try, they can't enter the gate of the Nine Zen Fingers. Mountains and rivers, can you guess the reason for this?"
When he heard that the master hadn't learned it for three years, Shanhe subconsciously stuck out his tongue. After that, I thought about it, but I couldn't find a reliable answer, so I shook my head and said:
"They're so talented, they can't learn, then I can't really guess. ”
"Hehe, then let the old man tell you. The reason why they can't understand it is not because they are not talented, but because they are all missing something!"
"Missing something?"
Seeing that he stopped at the key point, Shanhe asked anxiously, "What is it?"
Forgetting the precepts, he did not pay attention to the urging of the mountains and rivers, but folded his hands together, bowed his head to the distance unhurriedly, and recited the sentence "Amitabha Buddha" in his mouth, and then replied to the mountains and rivers with a kind expression:
"That's it...... Buddha nature!"
Martial arts and Buddha nature, in the eyes of mountains and rivers, are completely two things that cannot be beaten by eight poles.
After hearing this unexpected word, Shanhe was puzzled and said with a puzzled face:
"Master, I don't understand this. Learning a martial art, how can it still have something to do with Buddha nature?"
Forgetting the precept explained with a serious face:
That's because the Nine Zen Fingers were originally created by Zen Master Zunyi based on the nine Mahayana Buddhist scriptures. In this set of fingerings, each style is based on a Buddhist scripture. Without Buddha-nature, there is no possibility of penetration. ”
A martial art, with Buddhist scriptures as the program, this is the first time Shanhe has heard this kind of statement, and his face immediately showed a confused look.
Seeing this, Forget the Ring chuckled and said:
"What, I still can't understand it? Hehe, then tell me first, how did Xiao Jiu Zen point you started?"
"Well, let the inner breath flow through the giant gate and the atrium...... Wait for the seven points and six veins, and finally converge on the two fingers of the right hand. Although I don't understand the meaning, the mountains and rivers still truthfully reply.
"Well, most of the ordinary martial arts are based on the mental method to drive the internal breath. Just like the little nine Zen fingers you just said, as long as you follow the mental method and practice repeatedly, you can learn it. However, the Nine Zen Fingers are slightly different, and their moves do not have a fixed mind, but are guided by the Buddha nature of the caster!"
"What? There is no fixed mental method, relying on the guidance of Buddha nature?" Shanhe was so surprised that he almost couldn't sit still.
"That's right, in the whole text of the Nine Meditation Fingers, there is not a single acupuncture point or vein mentioned. From beginning to end, it is full of obscure Buddhist words, which are completely different from the mental methods you see on a daily basis. Hehe, so, some people even joked that even if he threw the mental method of the Nine Zen Fingers on the side of the road and let others pick it up, it is estimated that no one will believe it, what he picked up is a secret book of mastery that has been learned for a lifetime, and most of them will treat it as a Buddhist scripture. ”
After hearing this, Shanhe's mouth opened as big as an egg, and his face was full of incredulity.
Suddenly, he realized why so many people, including his own master, couldn't understand the nine Zen fingers.
As a book of martial arts secrets, it doesn't talk about acupuncture points, doesn't mention tendons, and doesn't tell everyone how to perform their exercises, just write some messy Buddhist words.
Such a book of martial arts cheats, normal people must be able to learn it!
After hearing this, Shanhe suddenly remembered another person!
It is the master of the Great Tribulation who wrote the Little Nine Zen Fingers more than a thousand years ago!
At this moment, he especially understood the mood of that master back then!
In the face of such a wonderful martial arts cheats, someone has to "rectify" it.
"But it is precisely because of this that the power of the Nine Zen Fingers is much more powerful than other martial arts!"
"Mountains and rivers, one day, if you can realize the one and a half moves of the Nine Zen Fingers, you will understand that the original Dharma drives the inner breath and integrates the Buddha nature, and the martial arts are like being injected into the soul, which is not only several times more powerful, but also can communicate with the mind of the caster. That feeling, it's really ...... It's wonderful!"
After speaking, he closed his eyes and folded his hands, immersed himself in his reverie.
But looking at the mountains and rivers again, he stood in place with a stupid face.
At first glance, he must not have understood anything.
To be honest, after hearing "Dharma drives inner breath...... Soul-infused martial arts", the mountains and rivers were already stunned!
He felt like he was listening to a book from heaven, and he didn't understand what the other party meant.
In his opinion, what kind of martial arts is this? It's like listening to science fiction!
Inner breath, can you still test the Dharma to drive?
Martial arts, there is still a "soul"?
These words, to him, are simply nonsense.
Not to mention letting him approve it, you can't even recognize him!
So, don't look at the forgetting ring to say that it is exciting, but the mountains and rivers actually have no resonance.
"Well, I know that you don't understand it yet. Thinking back to the beginning, before the old man completed his studies, he was also your virtue. However, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that because the Nine Zen Fingers need the guidance of Buddha nature, Lao Gu thinks that it is easier for you to learn this technique than your master!"
Speaking of this, Wangjie suddenly lowered his head and thought for a moment, stretched out three fingers, and said solemnly to the mountains and rivers:
"According to Lao Wei's estimate, in time, you will be at least thirty percent sure that you will be able to cultivate this skill!"
Seeing that what he said was clear-eyed, there was a bit of inexplicable excitement in his tone, Shanhe thought that the other party would say a higher probability!
But as soon as he heard that there were only three percent, Shanhe was immediately deflated, shook his head and sighed:
"Ah, it's only 30 percent, it's still twice as long as the passing grade! Alas, master, I think ...... Forget it. ”
