"Boom!"

The blades struck, and the energy was scattered.

Yue Shan took two steps back slightly, his arm was sore, and the pock-faced man holding a horse chopping knife on the opposite side stepped back five steps in a row, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood, and his internal qi receded like a tide, and he no longer had the strength to fight with his sword.

Feeling that his martial arts seemed to be better than a month ago, Yue Shan did not have the slightest joy in his heart, just because this level of internal and external martial arts was still far behind the strange monk, and he also had an extremely bad hidden danger - the loss of essence and the vain foundation.

If he can't obtain the best secret to make up for the foundation, at most ten years, his body will begin to decline, and he will eventually end up with five labors and seven injuries, and his martial arts will not be wasted......

There was something in his heart, and Yue Shan didn't bother to entangle with his subordinates, so he only said coldly: "Ma Laosan...... I'm in a good mood this time, I'll spare your life for the time being, get out!"

Seeing him sitting across the table, Lu Shark poured a glass of wine and pushed it over, and quipped: "This Ma Laosan's martial arts are very good!"

After all, since you released the news of the damage to your foundation a month ago, this is the seventeenth enemy who has come to find you.

There are masters to practice with you almost every day, no wonder the sword technique is improving so fast!"

Yue Shan raised his glass and drank it all, laughing at himself: "It's a pity that it's not the person I'm waiting for!"

The land shark didn't care, "Hey...... You can't say that, if these guys who have been defeated twice in your hands are the ones you are waiting for, do you believe it?"

Yue Shan sighed and said, "My ability is more than a step worse than mine, how can I have the best secret to cure my roots?"

Lu Shark raised his eyebrows, "You are willing to go far away." A month ago, when the Great Zen Master was there. You worship him directly as a teacher. Just ask him for the best tips!"

Yue Shan was indifferent, "Although that monk is unfathomable, he is a Buddhist after all, and I can't learn those empty Buddhist mental methods at all!"

Lu Shark sneered: "Since you know that the Zen master is unfathomable, how do you know that he doesn't know the mental methods of other schools?"

I have heard that the four ancestors of Zen Buddhism, the Taoist holy monks, have both the Tao and the Buddha's strengths, and the great Zen master is a disciple of the holy monks, of course, it will not be bad.

Moreover. It stands to reason that Buddhism and Demon are mortal rivals, and they will definitely study each other's martial arts skills.

You Yue Badao is to die to save face and suffer from sin!"

Hearing this, Yue Shan couldn't help but think about it, but when he thought about it, Dade left Wuling a month ago and went to Shuzhong, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Now the monks don't know where they are, it's too late to say anything!"

Lu Shark said: "People are Zen masters who go out to travel, of course, they will place orders in temples around the country, you just need to go to the temples along the road to Shuzhong to inquire." You can find out the whereabouts of the Zen master!"

Yue Shan hesitated for a moment, but he was finally unwilling to eat back the grass. Shaking his head, "Wait a little longer...... Fu stared at Lu Shark again and said: "It's you a dirty ghost, you obviously don't believe in Buddhism, and you have a Zen master and a Zen master is short, it's really a gimmick!"

Lu Shark looked at him with disdain, "Don't think that everyone is as stupid as you, if it weren't for my cleverness and apology to the Zen master with practical actions, how could I still be sitting here now?"

Are all monks good men and women?"

Yue Shan smiled bitterly: "You are borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, benefiting without expense, and the whole rivers and lakes know that the monk defeated me with one palm, and use the reputation I have accumulated for more than ten years to cast the reputation of the monk, pat the monk's ass, and let the monk forgive you......

You're both happy, and the only thing to lose is me!"

Lu Shark shook his head wildly, "This is the truth!"

Who let you find a fight by yourself, but you still lost, not only lost, but also lost so badly...... One move, one move!"

The remnant sun is like blood, and the red glow fills the sky.

Outside the city of Chengdu, Shi Zhixuan holds a pine Zen stick, strolls in the ancient cypress for three days, among the bamboo trees and onion cages, suddenly sees the red wall in front of him, the pagoda is in the sky, the temple tower is majestic and tall, and he knows the place.

In the past month, he has been on the road from Wuling to Chengdu, every time he encounters a large temple, he will enter the temple to watch it, if there are monks who are proficient in Zen theory in the temple, he will also hang a small stay for two days and discuss Zen with him.

However, his real destination was the "Great Stone Temple", an ancient temple with a history of 145 years outside Chengdu.

Fortunately, most of the large temples are rich in wealth, and they do not refuse to travel monks to eat and live in vain, and they hand over the degree in Shizhixuan, and after ranking them according to their seniority, they will smoothly place orders in the temple and settle down.

In addition to the important place of Tibetan scriptures, the rest of the temple's halls can be visited by him.

Dashi Temple starts from the mountain gate hall, followed by the Tianwang Palace, the Seven Buddha Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Tibetan Scripture Building, etc., the hall is heavy, although it is not as complex as the structure of the Three Treatises Zongqixia Temple, the Zen Dingshan Temple, the shape is beautiful, but it is also magnificent and magnificent.

Next to the main hall in a group, a tall tower rises among thousands of bamboo trees, which is extraordinarily imposing.

Of course, just a glance at these religious buildings, Shi Zhixuan walked through the hall corridor for a long time, and finally came to the ultimate goal of this trip - Luohan Hall.

The statues of the main hall are listed, divided into two groups, the center is dozens of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, with the thousand-armed Guanyin who lives in the heart of the hall is the most eye-catching, not only the treasure is solemn, and because the shape of each hand and the magic instrument held are not the same, people give birth to the feeling of vast supernatural power and boundless mana.

The five hundred Arhats are arranged on all sides, facing the statue in the center, forming a vertical and horizontal lane. Anyone here is like being in another world of gods and Buddhas that is different from reality.

The statue next to him is in the yellow glow of the sunset that penetrates, the shape is delicate and exquisite, the color is gorgeous, whether it is standing and leaning, sitting and lying, all have different postures, like a real person, the expression is vivid, and the illusion is like the truth.

When you come to the Thousand-armed Guanyin Seat, surrounded by rows of Arhat Buddha statues, it is like being trapped in a maze under the statues, and the feeling is really indescribable in words.

Shi Zhixuan is not the kind of wild man like Xu Ziling who doesn't know anything, so he naturally knows what the five hundred Arhat statues made according to Kumarosh's own handwritten manuscript represent.

Today's Middle-earth Buddhism sects, the longer the inheritance, the heavier the influence of the Middle-earth Taoism, and even the martial arts inherited in the sect, although the name of Buddhism and Zen Gong. In fact, it is a mystical skill.

For a Taoist sect leader like Shi Zhixuan, who has studied Buddhism deeply. These have gone through the work of grafting. It doesn't have much reference significance, but it is the original Tianzhu martial arts, which allows him to truly understand the essence of authentic martial arts in Buddhism.

However, in the past two or three hundred years, only three of the Tianzhu monks who have come to China to preach the Dharma can be said to have glimpsed the authentic essence of Tianzhu martial arts, namely Kumarosh, Dharma, and the true meaning.

Among these three holy monks, Bodhidharma is the source of Zen martial arts, and Shi Zhixuan has inherited its legacy for two generations. There are a lot of benefits, so there is no need to go into details.

And the master of the true truth, Shi Zhixuan suspects that it is likely to be the master of the truth who passed on Xu Ziling's [Nine-Character Mantra Handprint], and is now spreading the Dharma and translating the scriptures in Guangdong and Fujian, and has not yet traveled to all the famous temples and temples at home and abroad and created the [Nine-Character Mantra Handprint].

As for the holy monk Kumarosh nearly two hundred years ago, he was young and diligent, and he had traveled to Tianzhu countries, visited famous teachers and great virtues, studied the wonderful meaning, and was well-read and memorized. He is fluent in Sanskrit and Chinese. Buddhism is extremely profound. Broadcom Mahayana and Hinayana are proficient in the Sutras, Vinayas, and Treatises, and can use them skillfully and control them freely.

This Tianzhu holy monk has been translating scriptures in China for 17 years, translating hundreds of scriptures and four or five hundred volumes in total, and is the ancestor of the eight sects of Chinese Buddhism.

Among them, the essence of Buddhism of the Three Treatises, Tiantai Sect, and Pure Land Sect that Shi Zhixuan is familiar with is based on the scriptures translated by the Tianzhu holy monks, and has developed and evolved.

It is a pity that this holy monk only preached Buddhism and translated scriptures in Middle-earth, but never taught martial arts.

Even the Three Treatises Sect, which is a descendant, can only collect some leftovers from the commentaries and corners of the scriptures written by the holy monks, otherwise Master Jiaxiang will no longer practice with the help of He's Bi.

However, the 500 Arhats of this Dashi Temple are the only exception, just because they want to paint 500 statues with different postures and different Buddhist charms, ordinary monks can't get them out with all their might, and only Yoga monks like Kumarosh who are proficient in martial arts and proficient in the art of limb and body movements can complete it.

Because of this, the limbs and movements of the five hundred arhats in turn contain Kumarosh's supreme yoga attainments.

The principle here is exactly the same as the Hanama School's concept of martial arts as a supreme art directly related to people.

For sages of great wisdom like Kumarosh, Buddhism and martial arts have long been integrated with every action and word in daily life, whether it is translating scriptures or painting sculptures, they all contain Buddhism and martial arts.

It may be difficult for later generations to find out the truth of martial arts from the countless scriptures he translated, but it is quite possible to understand the essence of martial arts from his few paintings and sculptures.

According to Shi Zhixuan's in-depth contact with Buddhism over the years, the true meaning of martial arts contained in the posture of the five hundred arhats in this big stone temple is likely to be the most original and profound Tianzhu martial arts in Middle Earth.

The sky is getting dark, the night is hazy, and the moonlight is shining, and the light and darkness are shining.

All the monks in the temple have returned to the room to participate in Zen, only Yu Shi Zhixuan crossed his knees and a thousand hands Guanyin seat, the subtle spiritual sense stretched out, the strange posture of the five hundred Arhats, the complicated handprints are reflected in the mind, none of them are missing, there is no order, and there is no priority.

However, at the beginning, Shi Zhixuan did not begin to comprehend the yoga postures and seals contained in these five hundred arhats, but revisited the foundation of Tianzhu martial arts, and immersed himself in the pure world of Tianzhu martial arts intentionally or unintentionally, while trying to avoid the interference of Middle-earth martial arts.

Tianzhu's internal strength cultivation system, the basis of the promising method lies in the "qi, chakra, chakra", that is, the five qi, the three chakras, and the seven chakras.

The five qi are the five qi of life, ascending, flattening, pervasive, and descending, and refer to the path through which the inner and outer qi pass through the three chakras and seven chakras.

The three veins are the middle, left and right veins, and the middle vein runs from the bottom of the sea to the top of the head, and is connected by the spinal cord, which is like the governor vein of the middle earth.

The left and right veins both originate from the testicular uterus, parallel to the midrib and run through the seven chakras.

The seven chakras are like the orifices of Middle Earth, from top to bottom are the Sahasrara, the glabellar chakra, the throat chakra, the heart chakra, the navel chakra, the reproductive chakra and the submarine chakra, and the last chakra is the perineal chakra of the middle earth.

It is complicated to say here, but in fact, it is the same as the eight veins of the Central Plains martial arts, and it is also very different.

Tianzhu's authentic internal strength is to gradually cultivate "qi, pulse, and chakra", and give full play to the potential of life.

Of course, the statement of stimulating the potential of life here is more reliable, and the so-called unity of Brahman and self, the creation of heaven and earth, is each with its own fate, each with understanding and creation, for the vast majority of monks in Tianzhu who practice this method is also fishing for the moon in the water, seeing flowers in the fog, but not reaching!

It is the same principle as the Taoists of Middle-earth, where there are few people who have reached the unity of heaven and man.

As for how to cultivate "qi, chakra, and chakra" to stimulate the potential of life, the mainstream authentic is yoga, and the principle of the mind is 'Brahman-self unity', or 'Buddha is the mind'.

The so-called 'Brahman', all things have a supreme ontology - Brahman, in fact, with the Taoist concept of 'Heavenly Dao', the unity of Brahman and self, that is, the unity of heaven and man.

Of course, this is the original system of Tianzhu, which was later developed in Tantra, and was subdivided into the three tantric practices of "body, mouth, and mind", with the mudra being the most important part of the "body seal", connecting the ten fingers of both hands with the inside and outside as sutras, and practicing the "qi, pulse, and chakra" in the body as the weft.

The so-called three secrets, there are different opinions, but in the practice of yoga, there are two kinds of phases and no phases.

There are three secrets, the Buddha and sentient beings are integrated with each other, entering the realm of yoga, and sentient beings are sealed (body secrets), reciting mantras (mouth secrets), and contemplating Buddha-figures (mind secrets), which is the three secrets of phases.

And the three secrets of non-appearance, all the actions of the body, speech, and thoughts of all beings are the three secrets, and this is the three secrets of non-appearance.

Based on the existence of the three tantras, the three tantras of the Buddha are protected and held on the three karmas of sentient beings, which are called the three tantric blessings. The corresponding fusion of the three tantras of the Buddha with the three tantras of sentient beings is called the correspondence of the three tantras (yoga of the three tantras). On the other hand, if the practitioner and the Buddha-figure are integrated, they can become a Buddha when they become a Buddha, which is called instant Buddhahood.

Here, "Buddha and sentient beings are integrated", "contemplating the Buddha-figure", and "integrating with the Buddha-figure", in which "Buddha" and "Buddha-figure" are not specific beliefs in the Buddha, but spiritual symbols, in fact, they are "truthfulness" and "original mind".

To attain "true nature" and attain supreme enlightenment is to become a Buddha in the body.

This is no different from the "Heavenly Heart" and "My Heart" of Middle-earth, the unity of heaven and man.

Of course, both the Tianzhu and Tantric cultivation systems are the same as those of Middle-earth Taoism, and they can be poured with water in the real cultivation method, and it is the religious ideas that attract believers.

Just as the practice of Taoism can be summarized by the pursuit of 'the unity of heaven and man', the practice of Buddhism can also be marked by the pursuit of 'becoming a Buddha in the body'.

The difference between the way of cultivation and the belief in the Tao, the cultivation of Buddhism and the belief in the Buddha, the difference between one word is actually a world of difference.

Cultivating the Tao and cultivating Buddhism is just to identify with the cosmology and outlook on life of the Taoist and Buddhist cultural schools, and to step into the path of cultivation, to pursue the true meaning of life in the universe, and to glimpse eternity.

After all, any established Taoism and Buddhism is just a "master's door" in which "the master leads the way and the practice is in the individual", which is quite meaningful for reference at the beginning, and when it comes to deeper practice, each person relies on creation and cultivation according to his own heart.

Believing in the Tao and worshiping God, believing in Buddha and making wishes are the spiritual sustenance of ordinary people when they are empty and confused, and they are often fooled and lose their minds without knowing it.

In the final analysis, the so-called religion is a group of power-grabbers who are both foolish and self-ignorant to propagate teachings, attract believers, and gather people to achieve things by means of deliberately irrigating and tampering with Taoist and Buddhist scriptures......

In the meantime, practitioners should see the benevolent and the wise see the wise, otherwise they will only enter the religion as Taoist slaves and Buddha slaves, not cultivators.

This is something that Shi Zhixuan has long understood, of course, in fact, most of the people in the world who have achieved cultivation understand this principle, but they are just for the sake of religious development, and they don't want to talk about it. (To be continued.) )
