According to Xuanwu's guidance, Xiao Wang and the others soon came to the west side of the temple, only to see that there were several rows of bungalows here, with a total of more than 30 rooms. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two were speculating about which room Xuanwu was in, and suddenly there was a "squeak", and the door of a room in the middle opened, as if to welcome guests, and the two knew that this was Xuanwu's magical power, and they were not surprised at the moment, and walked inside.

This house is about three zhang square, poorly furnished, there is only a bed and a futon, and there is no Buddha statue scripture, it is really hard to believe that this is the place where Buddhist monks live.

In the middle of the room, a sturdy, sturdy monk sits on a futon, his right hand touching the ground with his thumb, his left hand erect on his chest, his eyes sunken, and his mindfulness reciting words. Xiao Wang and the two did not dare to disturb, waiting to stand on the side, about a pillar of incense time, the monk stopped chanting, put his hands together, and did not see him speak, Xiao Wang and the two heard an old voice from him: "Two, let you wait for a long time, but this evening class must not be delayed, although I am a foreign guest monk, and old and frail, I have to be here The abbot is magnanimous, so as to avoid the rush of gathering and chanting, but this self-practice is inevitable, I am very sorry." ”

"Is this ventriloquism?" Xiao Bei felt a sense of meeting his hometown in a foreign country, and couldn't help but be a little excited.

Wang Yangming took a deep look and apologized: "I have heard for a long time that Xuanwu Zen Master has a wonderful understanding of the truth, and the Dharma is boundless. ”

Xuanwu still said in ventriloquism: "It's just a false name, why worry about it, what are the two of you coming to find a poor monk?"

Wang Yangming said: "In recent days, when the pilgrimage has been repeatedly assassinated by murderers, several times in distress, although the forbidden army and the Jinyi guard searched on a large scale, but still found nothing. Now that he has a murder weapon, he knows that the master is a martial arts master, and he must have a high opinion, so he specially came to seek guidance. ”

Xuanwu said: "What kind of murder weapon is it, can you let the poor monk figure it out?" Although the poor monk has been away from the martial arts for a long time, he still has some memories, so let's do his best." ”

Wang Yangming took out the octagonal pyramid from his arms and respectfully handed it to Xuanwu, who stretched out his hand, took the octagonal pyramid, didn't look at it, and stroked it carefully in his hand.

Wang Yangming was slightly surprised, raised his eyes and looked at Xuanwu, who knew that under this look, Dengshi's heart was shocked. I saw that Xuanwu was not deeply sunken in his eye sockets, but both eyes were gouged out, and only his eyelids covered the sockets. At the same time, he also has a long scar on his throat, although the scar is old, but it is still shocking to look at. It was only because the light in the room was dim and the vision was not clear before, and the two of Xiao Wang were far away, so they could not be discovered.

Xuanwu touched it repeatedly for a while, suddenly stopped moving, and said in his belly: "This is an octagonal pyramid, but this style is a bit special, it is only seen in Henan, and many of my Shaolin disciples and Wudang disciples like to use it as a secret weapon." It can not only retreat from the enemy, but also not hurt his life, which is more in line with the identity of a monk. ”

Wang Yangming said happily: "The master is really bright, and he does not shy away from it, and he admires and admires it." ”

Xuanwu didn't say anything, sat for a while, and suddenly said: "The old man is deaf and dumb, and his eyes are blind." In addition, he has not been in contact with the laity for a long time, and he has no understanding of world affairs, so he doesn't know whether to say something or not. ”

Xiao Bei and Wang Yangming were both taken aback, who knew that this high-ranking monk and martial arts saint was so disabled, he opened his mouth for a while, and after a while, Wang Yangming came back to his senses and said with respect: "Master, please speak." ”

Xuanwu said: "The surface of the steel used in this octagonal pyramid is very smooth, it seems to have been out of the oven for a few hours, I don't know when the assassin assassinated the emperor with it?"

Wang Yangming's face flushed, and he said: "It's not a secret, this octagonal pyramid is not the original, but the style was selected and ordered to be hastily created." It is really not right to test the master. ”

Xuanwu said: "It's okay, it's just that the donor must have asked the Purple Yang Dao Chief." ”

Wang Yangming replied honestly: "Yes." ”

Xuanwu was silent for a moment again and said, "How did the Purple Yang Dao Elder react?"

Wang Yangming said: "He didn't tell the origin of this octagonal pyramid, and he couldn't see the flaws in it. ”

Xuanwu shook his head and said, "With my understanding of the Ziyang Daoist, he is very intelligent and well-read, if you really can't see it, then you either have other thoughts or other plans." ”

Wang Yangming thought for a while, bowed to Xuanwushen, and arched his hand: "Thank you, master, for being taught." Since this is the case, the two of us stopped disturbing the master's cultivation and took their leave. ”

After that, Wang Yangming picked up Xiao Bei and turned around to leave.

"Wait, the poor monk has one more thing to ask. Xuanwu said suddenly.

"Master, it's okay to ask. Xiao Wang and the others stopped, turned around, and said in unison.

"The poor monk felt that the two bones were strange, the breath was special, and the true qi in the body was surging, containing great power, the poor monk had never seen it, could it be ...... Both of them have been trained to ...... Immortal?" Xuanwu's voice trembled slightly.

Xiao and Wang were silent for a moment, and Wang Yangming said: "The master has a clear understanding and insight into the inside, the two of us have indeed become immortal bodies, and what we have practiced below is the 'Immortal Soul', and this General Xiao has practiced the 'Yin and Yang Thunder'." ”

Xuanwu's body shook violently and muttered, "Immortal Soul...... Yin and Yang Thunder ...... The poor monk has been practicing for nearly 100 years. In order to achieve the immortal body, he even did not hesitate to stab his eyes and ears and cut his throat, so that he was unconscious, ignorant and ignorant, and buried himself in cultivation. But I feel that there is still an endless difference from the realm of immortals, the reason why I came to participate in the martial arts competition this time is that I know that my life is about to run out, and I want to see who in the world has practiced the immortal body before driving the crane west, with my lifelong wish, I can't think of it...... I didn't expect to meet the fairy fate here...... "Speaking of this, Xuanwu couldn't help himself, and he burst into tears.

Wang Yangming walked in front of Xuanwu, sat down cross-legged, and said: "Master, the previous report in Xia is actually not his real name, his real name is Wang Shouren, his name is Yangming, and he has lived for one hundred and sixty years now, have you ever heard of his name?"

Xuanwu nodded and said: "It turned out to be a Wang Sage, and the poor monk has admired you since he was a child, but now he has taken refuge in my Buddha and studied Buddhism intensively. ”

Wang Yangming smiled bitterly and said, "I am quite in awe of Buddhism...... Okay, what I'm going to say is, Master, do you know what an immortal body is, and why do you have to practice an immortal body to become a Taoist?"

Xuanwu shook his head and said, "Please also ask the Wang Shengren for advice." Xiao Bei's mind moved at this time, and he also stayed attentive, came to Wang Yangming and sat down, listening attentively.

Wang Yangming said solemnly: "To be honest, I don't know. ”

When Xiao Bei and Xuanwu heard this, they were so angry that their eyes were about to split, and Xiao Bei said: "Master Xuanwu, you don't want me to beat him." ”

Xuanwu hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.

Xiao Bei rolled up his sleeves and punched Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming hurriedly retreated, dodged Xiao Bei, circled around Xuanwu, and said with a smile as he ran: "Master Xuanwu, life in the world, such as morning dew, have fun in time, why die? The things you have experienced in your life are different from others, but you have found your own way." If that's the case, why should you envy the way of others? You have profound knowledge of Buddhism, and you don't have to listen to what I teach, but you lose your eyes for the immortal body, your heart is covered with dust, and you fall into the obstacle of knowledge and vision, and you can neither see yourself nor see yourself, how can you talk about the immortal body, how can you talk about enlightenment?"

When Xuanwu heard this, he didn't answer, but still sat on the futon, thoughtful.

Wang Yangming had been caught by Xiao Bei at this time, and while resisting, he said: "When I was reasonable, I never thought about cultivating an immortal body or seeking immortal enlightenment, but I just pursued the truth wholeheartedly. Therefore, only by forgetting oneself can one be selfless, and only without self can we be detached, Master, do you think this is the truth?"

Xuanwu opened his mouth and stammered, stayed for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing, and said: "I see, I see, I don't see the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." I have been obsessed with the pursuit of immortal body, but it has hindered me from cultivating immortal body; I have been seeking Buddha since I was a child, but when I am old, I have no Buddha in my heart, which is really putting the cart before the horse, Alzheimer's disease. ”

After that, his face was happy, and he was no longer half depressed.

Seeing this, Wang Yangming stopped running in circles, jumped out, threw himself out of the door, and ran away in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Bei saluted Xuanwu, his body was like purple lightning, and he followed Wang Yangming.

As soon as Wang Yangming ran out of Xizhao Temple, Xiao Bei fell from the sky, stopped in front of him, and said, "Old Wang, you just said that you don't know the truth about the immortal body's enlightenment, but is it true?"

Wang Yangming stopped and said with a sad face: "I only have guesses about this matter, and I am not half sure, in case I say it wrong, I will be despised by you, so I should not say it." ”

Xiao Bei looked at him suspiciously, and said in his heart: "Hong Yan seems to be very obsessed with enlightenment, and wants to see the true spiritual path and the source of all things. If Lao Wang really knew the truth of this matter, maybe he would be able to dispel Hongyan's thoughts, otherwise I would always be worried that one day she would leave me and behead three corpses to become enlightened. ”

was thinking about whether to use torture to force Wang Yangming so that he could confide the truth, Wang Yangming suddenly looked frightened and shouted: "Not good!"

Xiao Cheap didn't know what tricks he was going to play, and looked at him suspiciously. I saw Wang Yangming say nervously: "I forgot, I promised to see my old friend today, obediently knock, if I go one step late, I will have to pay double the silver today, don't say it, I'll go first." After that, Wang Yangming ran away, leaving Xiao Yi alone stunned, messy in the wind.
