At night, in the scripture pavilion, the abbot came here, and there were no other accompanying monks. Akiko knelt alone facing the wall, the candle flame behind him imprinting his huge figure on the wall.

The abbot said, "Can you concentrate on facing the wall?"

Akiko turned her back to the abbot and nodded.

The abbot said, "The monks abstain from lying and talking, why did you blame me if you didn't concentrate on facing the wall?"

"Huh?" Akiko turned around, and the book in her sleeve accidentally fell. Mingzi smiled awkwardly, scratched her bald head with her hand, and said, "I can't hide anything from my master." ”

The abbot glanced at the book he had dropped, and said, "Do you understand?"

Akiko said: "I didn't understand this paragraph. So saying, he opened the book and pointed out to the abbot what he did not understand.

The abbot took two steps forward, read the passage, and said, "This passage means this." Then he personally demonstrated it to Akiko. Mingzi practiced with the abbot on the side, and in this way, the master and apprentice practiced for more than an hour, and the abbot asked Mingzi: "Do you understand?"

Akiko nodded, then took out another book, opened it and said, "I don't understand this either." ”

The abbot patted his bald head and said, "You are guilty of greed again." Practicing martial arts is like eating, can you digest it after learning so much at once?"

Akiko looked at the master's face, then nodded, and said that he was wrong.

The abbot said: "Hurry up and put it back in the bookcase, if it is discovered by the masters of the Scripture Pavilion tomorrow, they will come to me to complain again." ”

Mingzi said, "Okay, master, please go back and rest early." ”

The abbot didn't debunk his little trick, but told him to concentrate on facing the wall, and then turned around and left, leaving Mingzi alone in the Scripture Pavilion.

Mingzi listened to the footsteps of the master with his ears, felt that the master had gone away, took out another secret book from his arms, confirmed the cultivation steps again, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

This set of internal strength and mental methods is really domineering, and as soon as he began to cultivate, Mingzi felt that there was an internal force in his body that quickly condensed. Mingzi liked the quick effect of this martial art, and hurriedly gathered his mind and started luck according to the record in the book. This internal force began to flow in the meridians around the body, and the speed became faster and stronger. Akiko seems to be wooden, but she is unexpectedly bold, and she allows internal forces to rampage through her body uncontrollably.

At this time, it was already the end of the year, and an old monk with white eyebrows and five clothes walked outside the house. He is holding a broom and is the monk in charge of cleaning the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. He glanced through the window propped up by bamboo poles, glanced at Akiko, who was meditating inside, and shook his head. The old monk turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, he thought about it, and turned back to look at Mingzi carefully through the window.

At this moment, Mingzi was running his internal force wholeheartedly, and he was completely unaware of the old monk. The domineering internal force just now suddenly deviated. Mingzi was secretly shocked in his heart, this internal force should have gone "in the middle of the body", passed the "dovetail", wore the "Jianli", passed through the "water", and merged the "stone gate" to complete the operation of the Ren pulse. However, there was an internal force that ran to the "Beijing Gate", turned into the "Belt Pulse", and walked the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Sutra. So he was terrified at the moment, but there was nothing he could do.

The old monk chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice and sighed: "All sentient beings suffer because of karma, and you have a delusional mind to receive this karma." If the delusion continues, the karma will not end. If I had come to your rescue, you would not have understood this. ”

At this time, Akiko's internal force was completely out of control. The internal forces that were originally small strands were surging everywhere, but now the internal forces that were originally gathered were all dispersed at once. Before, this internal force was like a dragon running in the Ren vein. Now, this internal force has turned into countless small snakes, scurrying into the big holes around the body, surging wantonly. Mingzi knew that it was dangerous, but he couldn't speak, his body couldn't move, and he secretly said "ruined".

The old monk hesitated in front of the window, knowing that Mingzi's life was on the verge of death, he thought for a moment and said: "Seeing each other today is fate, I only protect your life, not your martial arts." So he pushed the door in and came to Akiko's back, and was about to stretch out his dry left hand when he suddenly froze.

At this moment, Mingzi's internal strength burst out, and the placket of the clothes on his body was open due to the surge of qi and blood. The old monk walked behind Mingzi and happened to see his back, and was stunned for a moment. Immediately realized, the smoke clouds of the past appeared in front of him, and he sighed repeatedly: "I see, I see!"

Immediately, he made up his mind, stretched out his hand and pressed on Mingzi's Tianchi acupoint, and began to move his strength. I saw that Akiko's face began to become rosy, and the true qi in his body became stronger and stronger, but it became very orderly, and it did not go on a rampage like before, but began to run in a regular manner according to what he remembered in the book. In this way, the true qi ran for nine weeks, Mingzi was soaked, and the top of the old monk's head began to get hot air, and the old monk withdrew his hand. He glanced at Akiko, who was still meditating with his eyes closed, his eyes drooping, and he picked up the broom and turned to leave.

And Mingzi was lucky until the time of the hour, and then he regained his success. He just felt that his body had become much lighter. In fact, Mingzi was already a well-established master at this time, and the abbot's original intention was to let him further improve his martial arts cultivation when he was reflecting behind closed doors, so he would guide him late at night. Who would have thought that Mingzi was greedy for more martial arts, and he was already in danger of going mad, but it happened to be the help of the sweeping monk, and he not only escaped the catastrophe, but his internal strength was great in one night. But Mingzi didn't know what was going on. On the one hand, he felt that this book had a great effect on him, and on the other hand, he also felt that it was the previous guidance of the abbot master that was the reason for his rapid improvement overnight.

In this way, in the days when the scripture pavilion faced the wall, Mingzi recited the scriptures during the day and practiced Shaolin stunts at night. The abbot would instruct Mingzi every night during the inspection time, and in the second half of the night, the nameless old monk would quietly come and use his internal force to assist Mingzi in practicing. Seven seven and forty-nine days have passed since the days of facing the wall, and Hu Niu has also waited for seven seven and forty-nine days, Mingzi can finally walk out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and a senior brother took him to see Hu Niu on the order of the abbot.

The two have not seen each other for many years, Mingzi is wooden by nature, and when he sees the tiger girl whose chest has begun to bulge, he can't speak, but he just bows his head, looks at his nose, nose and mouth, and silently recites the Lotus Sutra in his heart. However, the tiger girl was very generous, and stepped forward to grab the fat cuffs of Mingzi's five clothes, and this time, Mingzi's heart forgot all the scriptures.

After all, the two are of the same age and have so many experiences, although they haven't seen each other for many years, they only get acquainted again after only half a day together. Hu Niu asked Mingzi to talk about the last time she went down the mountain and broke the precepts, and Mingzi asked Hu Niu to talk about the customs and customs of walking outside in the past few years. The two of them sat on the stone steps like this, letting the sunlight stretch their figures.

The abbot Xuanjing and the sixth master Xuande monk stood on the Dharma platform and watched this scene, Xuande monk wanted to say something, the abbot waved his hand and said: "If it is destined, avoid it will not be fruitful, only after the reincarnation of the world, it will be clear and realize the positive result." ”
