Obviously she secretly created the Wooden Knife Technique, how could it be the Book of the Dead? Shangguan Ru was puzzled, but she knew that the Dragon King would not lie about such a thing.

The melodious morning bell rang in the Four Noble Truths, as if it was far away, Shangguan Ru suddenly woke up and showed an apologetic smile, "Sorry, monk, I was distracted." ”

It was already dawn, and the scene from last night was still clearly left in Shangguan Ru's mind, especially the calm and strange expression of the lotus girl before leaving, as well as the dragon king's angry questioning, which was a look she had never seen on the dragon king's face, even when the hostility between the two was at its strongest, she had never seen it.

Fa Chong has always been serious, and this time is no exception, looking at Shangguan Ru, he let out a long hum, "You didn't get distracted, you were thinking about what you should be thinking." ”

Shangguan Ru shook his head, "But I don't understand." ”

"I've played tricks with Lianqing, let me see your self-created knife technique. ”

Lian Qing, who was sitting on the side, immediately jumped up, he listened to Shangguan Ru's introduction to the situation, he was as puzzled as her, and a little more curious, what a set of martial arts is, how could the founder have an idea, but the bystanders have another opinion?

This is really a strange thing, Lian Qing is desperate to find out the truth, and she is even more active than Shangguan Ru.

Shangguan Ru hesitated to get up, "I don't have a wooden knife." ”

Lian Qing pushed the door out, walked to the tree in the courtyard, saluted respectfully, and then jumped up, broke off a branch of moderate length and thickness, and the palm of his hand was like a shovel, and cleaned up the branches and leaves on it in a few strokes, "This can be used as a wooden knife." ”

Shangguan Ru walked into the courtyard, and Fa Chong followed behind her, standing at the door to watch.

The weight and shape of the branches were not the same as the wooden knives of Jinpeng Castle, but they were barely usable, Shangguan Ru slapped them twice and said, "At that time, the lotus girl had a sword in her hand, and the original purpose of my sword technique was to break the sword technique." ”

Lian Qing scratched her head, and was about to break another branch, when she changed her mind again, "I don't know how to use swordsmanship, I'll use the vajra finger, maybe it's more similar to swordsmanship." ”

Lian Qing looked very excited, the Vajra Finger was a martial art he had just learned, and he had long wanted to try it out.

Shangguan Ru nodded, "The lotus girl stabbed me in the heart with a sword, I made a judgment when her sword style just moved, so I returned a move, of course, the move is not important, the dead man has no attack or defense through swordsmanship, and the strength is extremely strong, I should use it to be empty, hoping to dissolve the strength into invisible." Well, let's get started, please make a move first. ”

Lian Qing couldn't help nodding, in fact, he only knew a little bit about it, and when he heard the word "move", he immediately jumped up, supported his right elbow with his left hand, clenched his right hand into a fist, stretched out his index finger, and drank it shortly, pointing at Shangguan Ru's heart, this is a negotiated competition, so he doesn't talk so much about evasion.

Shangguan Ru's left foot stepped back, and the branch in his hand pierced out at the same time, just in line with Lianqing's fingers.

Lianqing's index finger was in the middle of the branch, only to feel that the resistance in front of him was nothing, so he moved forward like a bamboo, and the branch seemed to be frozen by water, and turned into powder under the pressure of external force.

Lian Qing couldn't help but exert more strength, and in the blink of an eye, her index finger had already broken through to Shangguan Ru's hand......

Shangguan Ruwei turned on one side, still holding a short branch in his hand.

Lian Qing didn't want to use all his strength, but his strength poured out uncontrollably, so that he couldn't hold back his steps, passed by Shangguan Ru, and ran forward more than a dozen steps in a row before he barely stopped in front of Fa Chong, looked at his fingers, and then looked back at Shangguan Ru, puzzled, "Hey, this is...... What's going on?"

Shangguan Ru was pleasantly surprised, "That's right, this is the effect I want to achieve, but the swordsmanship of the lotus girl is not the same as I imagined, she seems to be ...... It seems to ......"

What it seems to be, Shangguan Ru can't describe it.

Fa Chong nodded, turned around and returned to the meditation room, Shangguan Ru and Lian Qing followed behind, both feeling that this senior monk seemed to have an answer.

Fa Chong sat on the futon, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and asked: "In the face of what may be the most powerful swordsmanship in the world, but you show it, I'm afraid it's not all your own thoughts, right?"

Shangguan Ru hung his head gloomily, "I'm just uneasy about this matter, in fact, many of my thoughts ...... From the old man wood. ”

Lian Qing couldn't help but interject: "This old man Mu really has some skills, little girl, your wooden knife technique can not only be used to crack the sword technique of the Dead Man's Sutra, but it is also effective against all martial arts, it's just ...... You'll have to carry a lot of sticks with you. ”

Shangguan Ru smiled, "I don't want to fight with people everywhere. Then she turned to Fa Chong, "Old Man Mu has told me a lot of martial arts principles, and a few of them are particularly impressive, when I think about it...... How to deal with the scriptures of the dead, it was used. He said, 'In Taoism, martial arts in the world are nothing more than two kinds of yin and yang, the two instruments change, giving birth to thousands of routines, yin and yang are born and restrain each other, when learning martial arts, we value each other, but when we compete, we have to use each other, which is why some people practice martial arts all their lives, meticulous moves, when they practice alone, everyone applauds, but they lose a lot when they get on the field, that is because there is only mutual birth and no mutual restraint. ’”

Lian Qing nodded unconsciously, "It's very reasonable, for example, the vajra finger, when you practice, you take masculinity as the foundation, but when you face the enemy, you have to ......" Lian Qing shut up in time, and found that she agreed very much with the views of the evil demons, and she was terrified, and hurriedly lowered her head and silently recited **, and she didn't dare to speak out anymore.

Fa Chong also nodded, "The dead sacrifice their lives to attack each other through swordsmanship, so you do the opposite - show it empty, sacrifice your life and not keep it, let the other party use his strength to grow old, and defeat himself without a fight." ”

"Well, that's what it means, is this the Book of the Dead?"

Fa Chong hadn't read the Dead Man's Sutra Sword Book, and he refused to watch it, but he already understood the problem, "Yes and no." ”

Shangguan Ru frowned.

Fa Chong asked Lianqing, "Monk, how is your meditation skills?"

Lian Qing replied respectfully: "It's as short as a quarter of an hour, but it's not more than an hour, it's really bad." ”

"How do I get into meditation?"

"You need to keep the precepts, the precepts are the method, not from this door, not into the Zen realm. ”

Fa Chong turned to Shangguan Ru, "Emptiness is like meditation, you know it's good, but it can't be achieved overnight, if you want to practice this trick, you must also have a corresponding method." ”

Shangguan Ru suddenly realized, and then he was stunned for a while before he said: "I see, showing emptiness is just a truth, I understand others and understand, Old Man Mu is even clearer, but they can't do this when facing the dead man's sword technique, because they don't have a method, and the method I use is ...... It's the Book of the Dead. ”

"I prefer you to call it the Great Awakening Sword Sutra, Nan Ke Valeng is the ancient saying that the dead die, in the eyes of the ancients, enlightenment is the only way to die. Although Fa Chong didn't see the entire Book of the Dead, he had a rough understanding of the last strange passage.

For Shangguan Ru, it doesn't matter what it's called, it turns out that the Dragon King is right, she did use the Book of the Dead.

She thought that she had created a completely different set of martial arts, but in order to achieve her goal, she unknowingly borrowed the sword intent of the Book of the Dead.

Jinpeng Castle's martial arts emphasize practice rather than metaphysics, Shangguan Ru's martial arts foundation comes partly from the old man Mu, but more of it is the ** in the sword spectrum, those words are entangled with Huan Nu, which has long been deeply imprinted in her mind, and she has also understood the Book of the Dead in the process of trying to understand Huan Nu.

The truth is so simple, Shangguan Ru wonders why he hasn't seen through it a long time ago.

"But I've never killed anyone, how can I practice...... Dajue Sword Sutra?" Shangguan Ru already believed Fa Chong's explanation, but only this one still didn't understand.

It is clearly stated in the sword spectrum, and the strange text is also explained in depth, and the swordsmanship cannot be ** alone, and must be gradually improved in the process of killing.

"If death is an enlightenment, then enlightenment is also a kind of death. Fa Chong said that the Dajue Sword Sutra is not in line with Buddhism, he is just explaining a truth to Shangguan Ru, "The Dragon King and the Lotus Girl practice the sword by killing, and you succeed without killing, and you can achieve enlightenment on the same path." ”

Shangguan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but Lian Qing was confused, "To kill or not to kill, you can realize the Tao? Then what kind of family and Zen will I go out of?" Wouldn't it be good to continue to be a robber?"

Fa Chong was not polite to Lian Qingke, grabbed the wooden fish hammer beside him, and struck him the head, "What did the old monk Fa Yan tell you in the first place?"

Lianqing's head immediately swollen a large lump, so painful that tears were about to flow out, covered his head and said: "Master said before his death that becoming a monk from a robber is to go up the mountain, and the world is confused, and he is going down the mountain. I understand, although they have different paths, but the dragon king and the lotus girl are obsessed with the roadside scenery, stop halfway up the mountain, and probably will not realize the Tao for the rest of their lives, but Shangguan Ru is constantly climbing, and there will be a time to reach the top. ”

"Not necessarily. ”

Fa Chong said a word, and then beat Lian Qing from joy into a delusion, hung his head silently, and thought carefully.

Shangguan Ru felt that he understood, so he saluted Fa Chong and said, "I may not be able to do what I said before. ”

Fa Chong nodded, closing his eyes and saying nothing.

Shangguan Ru exited the meditation room, covered the door, walked under the tree, stopped in a daze, she defeated the lotus girl, and proved that she had the strength to stop the dragon king in the next competition, but Fa Chong gave her a reminder: the higher the martial arts, the more confidence, the more confident, the deeper the obsession.

In the past, she didn't have much confidence in the wooden knife technique she "created", and she had never used it on any occasion before fighting the Dutch girl, but now, she was thinking about whether she should use this set of martial arts to stop the dragon king from competing with her father, will there be such a day: she can't lose the wooden knife in her hand anymore, and she has to rely on it to solve all problems?

At that time, she will also stop halfway up the mountain.

There is also the Lotus Girl, Shangguan Ru couldn't accurately describe the situation to the monk at that time, the Lotus Girl was obviously old, but she didn't inherit it like Lianqing, but suddenly retracted her strength and stood still, and the Lotus Girl's expression, as if it implied something, Shangguan Ru couldn't read it.

She walked towards the outside of the hospital, and as soon as she left the hospital, she heard a voice say, "Benefactor, benefactor, help me another favor." ”

Shangguan Ru turned her head to look and found a monk sitting on the ground, looking very unfamiliar, until the other party moved forward with both hands on the ground, she remembered that this was the disabled swordsman who ran to the door of Kunshe to ask for help one night, "Gao Yang, you are Gao Yang." ”

"The benefactor remembers me. Gao Yang smiled shyly, but the fierce look on his face did not decrease much.

"Are you okay here, what do you want me to help with?"

"Thanks to the Lord, everything is fine for me, only one small thing, the reason why I wanted to become a monk was influenced by a lay monk, his name is Shi Qingjue, I heard that now Tieshan is a military teacher. I've always wanted to thank him in person, but I didn't have the opportunity to see him, my legs and feet ...... Alas. ”

Shangguan Ru understood, "You want me to help you pass the word?"

"I have never repaid the great kindness of the benefactor, and I have made such a request for no reason......"

"It's okay, the Iron Mountain camp is not far from here, I'll pass the word for you, military advisor Shi Qingjue, what do you say to him?"

It was said that Gao Yang missed him very much and hoped to see him again. ”

Of all the problems Shangguan Ru faced, this was the simplest and most relaxing one, so she had no reason to refuse, and she didn't know the true meaning of Gao Yang's words.
