Chapter 4 Enter Shaolin at night and visit the monks
A year later, Henan Shaolin Temple.
Looking at the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, Ye Feng was full of emotion for a while. Originally, even if it was not too hurried to go from the Infinite Sword Sect to the Shaolin Temple, it would only take a month or two.
But because he arrived at a place along the way, he was seen by the local ordinary people, and later he learned martial arts skills and exchanged martial arts experiences with local martial arts masters everywhere, so the journey of one or two months was forced to go for a year.
Of course, the benefits are huge. Although his internal strength is still super-first-class and has not broken through, his actual combat ability, his insight, understanding and vision of martial arts have been rapidly enhanced, and it can be said that he has traveled thousands of miles in a day, which is not the same.
Sighing about his experience this year, Ye Feng stood in the distance of the Shaolin Mountain Gate and thought for a while, "Is it to enter the Shaolin Temple in a bright and bright way, or to secretly visit the sweeping monks?"
"Forget it, if you visit Shaolin first and then go to see the sweeping monk, there will be a lot of trouble, and you will sneak into Shaolin to visit the monk from time to time. ”
However, now is not the time to see the sweeping monk, so Ye Feng took advantage of the fact that the disciples of the Shaolin Temple were not paying attention, sneaked into the Shaolin Temple, ran to the house next to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to hide, and waited until the evening to visit the sweeping monk.
Ye Feng was actually very curious about the identity of this sweeping monk, in the past, he had many discussions with many martial arts enthusiasts on the Internet, but he couldn't guess his true identity.
However, it is certain that the sweeping monk is definitely related to the Xiaoyao faction, and maybe he is still a disciple of the Xiaoyao faction, because in the original work, even the abbot of the Shaolin Temple of the top faction does not know the Xiaoyao faction, which is very deeply hidden, let alone knows Xiao Wuxianggong, but this person can say it in one bite, so it can be inferred from this point that this person is very likely to be a person from the Xiaoyao faction.
But speculation is always speculation, unless the author says it himself, otherwise even if we want to kill brain cells, we can't be sure, however, there is an excellent opportunity now, so Ye Feng plans to ask about the origin of this person at that time.
Just when Ye Feng was meditating and practicing, the time soon came to night, he first took out the food from the package to fill his stomach, and after resting for a while, he took advantage of the fact that most of the Shaolin Temple disciples were asleep, and lightly flew out of the house with Ling Bo and ran towards the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
Ye Feng cautiously looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he opened the wooden door of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and walked in, and then quietly closed the wooden door.
"Who's it? ”
At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly heard the sweeping monk talking to him in his ears, Ye Feng couldn't help but be surprised, although he knew that he would not be able to hide the sweeping monk from his arrival, he didn't expect to be discovered just after entering the door. Ye Feng was not hiding, and walked in directly.
Soon, Ye Feng found the room of the sweeping monk, opened the door of the sweeping monk, and found that the sweeping monk was sitting quietly on the bed looking at a Buddhist scripture.
"I don't know the little doll, came late at night, is there something wrong?" After hearing Ye Feng come in, the sweeping monk put down the scriptures in his hand and asked Ye Feng.
"Master, hello, in Xia Ye Feng, I came to visit the master late at night, just to ask the master martial arts realm. And I hope for the guidance of the master. Facing the person in front of him, who can be called the top in the world in terms of martial arts, Buddhism, and bearing, Ye Feng did not hide the purpose of his coming in a roundabout way, but said it directly.
But for some reason, the sweeping monk did not deny that he knew martial arts, saying that I was just an ordinary sweeping old monk in Shaolin, and did not ask why Ye Feng knew that he was not an ordinary person, but said: "Little doll, you are talented, first-class in understanding, young age, martial arts first-class, I believe that in a few years, your martial arts will be proud of the world, why bother looking for an old monk?"
"Master, the younger generation is determined to seek the way with martial arts, and I am here to ask the master for guidance. Ye Feng looked at the sweeping monk sincerely and said firmly.
The sweeping monk persuaded: "The fairy road is vast, why do you want to pursue this ethereal thing, little doll, go back and live the life you should live." ”
Ye Feng respectfully bowed to the sweeping monk and said, "Master, Taoism has clouds: if you hear the Tao, you can die at night." The younger generation's desire to seek the Tao has been determined, and it will not change in this life. Ask the master for advice. ”
"You are very good, you can see your heart and stick to your heart at a young age. ”
The sweeping monk looked at Ye Feng with a complicated expression and said, "What's even more rare is that you didn't absorb people's internal strength when you cultivated the Northern Spiritual Skill, it was completely your own hard work." That's it, that's it, since you insist on following this path, I will tell you what I know and understand, I hope it will help you. ”
"Today's martial arts realm is roughly divided into nine levels: the internal force in the body is generated, and the four meridians in the twelve canons are opened for the third rate, the eight meridians are opened for the second rate, the twelve are all passed, and the promotion is first-class. If you can open up the two veins of Ren Du, communicate with the bridge, lead the aura of heaven and earth, remove the false and retain the true, and turn the innocence into the innate true qi, you can be promoted to the congenital; and after reaching the innate nature, condense the true qi, control the subtlety, and turn into the true element, you can reach the realm of the grandmaster; and then the essence and spirit in the body are complete, the mind is clear, and then the realm of the great grandmaster can be achieved. ”
The sweeping monk hesitated for a moment and continued: "It is said that in the realm of the great grandmaster, it is the realm of immortals, but throughout the ages, there are very few people who can reach the realm of grandmasters, and there is no way to start the realm of immortals. ”
"Third-rate, second-rate, first-class, super-first-class...... And the legendary Wonderland?"
Ye Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he recalled that in the Taoist classics he had read before, cultivation was classified as: refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning to the void, and refining the void and combining the Dao, and refining the void and the Dao is the realm of immortals, if it is compared with the current martial arts realm, it will not be just high. Ye Feng couldn't help but hurriedly asked: "Master, is the martial arts realm of this realm similar to the four realms of refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning to void, and refining void and merging the Dao as mentioned by Taoists?"
The sweeping monk looked at Ye Feng in surprise, he didn't expect Ye Feng to be so perceptive, so quickly he could think of the connection between the martial arts realm and the Taoist realm, he only thought of it after checking the ancient books, the sweeping monk nodded, and shook his head again.
Ye Feng was puzzled for a while and asked, "Master, what do you mean by nodding and shaking your head again, are you saying 'yes' or 'not'?"
"Little doll, the reason why I nodded is because I used to think like this, and the reason why I shook my head is because except for the similarities between refining and refining qi and the third-rate and second-rate first-class realms, there is no way to test other realms. According to my guess, there must have been a major change in heaven and earth, which caused many Taoist mental methods that flowed in ancient times to be lost, and the remaining mental methods were also modified due to the difference in the environment and the inability to cultivate. Therefore, it is impossible to find a complete book of ancient Taoist mental methods to judge whether this guess is correct. ”
The sweeping monk thought for a while, took out a secret book and handed it to Ye Feng and said: "According to the predecessors of the Xiaoyao Sect, this little Wuxiang Divine Skill and the Northern Shengong you practiced are adapted from a complete Taoist mental method left over from ancient times, however, after hundreds of years of evolution, the Northern Shengong and the Little Wuxiang Divine Skill have long been self-contained...... Hope it helps. ”
"Thank you, Master. ”
The sweeping monk sighed and said, "You don't have to thank me, and I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse for you to give you this little Wuxiang Divine Skill? ”
"Thank you, master, juniors. Ye Feng took the little Wuxiang Divine Skill, and continued to ask: "Master, I don't know what kind of realm the Bodhidharma Patriarch of Shaolin, the Murong Family Patriarch, Murong Longcheng, and the Duan Family Ancestor who created the Six Veins Divine Sword?"
The sweeping monk shook his head and said: "There is no record of any faction, and the poor monk doesn't know about it, but according to the martial arts classics they left behind, they should have touched the barrier of the immortal level......" Ye Feng asked the sweeping monk some more questions about martial arts, and finally didn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked: "Master, I don't know if I can ask you a question, I don't know what is the relationship between you and the Loose Sect?"
The sweeping monk replied indifferently: "Little doll, is this important? It's like I didn't ask you how you knew about my existence." ”
It's just that what Ye Feng didn't notice was that the sad reminiscence in the eyes of the sweeping monk flashed away. Ye Feng said ashamedly: "Master, it's the juniors who are persistent. ”
Immediately, Ye Feng returned the question to martial arts, and continued to ask the sweeping monk for advice, and at the same time, he also watched some Shaolin martial arts cheats later, such as dragon capture, flower fingers, etc., until the sweeping monk reminded him that it was not easy to cultivate more Shaolin cheats in his current realm, Ye Feng gave up.
Two or three days later, Ye Feng didn't have any more questions, and said goodbye to the sweeping monk: "Thank you master for teaching the younger generation to solve doubts, I have also disturbed the master for a lot of time, so it is time to leave, if I have time, I will come back and ask the master for advice again." ”
"Go ahead, get around the outside and see the outside world. It's good for you, but don't disturb the monks here when you come. The sweeping monk seemed to have expected Ye Feng to leave, so he just waved his hand lightly and said.
"Take care, master. ”
Ye Feng respectfully hugged the sweeping monk. Then he cast Ling Bo Wei Step, ran to the wall of Shaolin Temple and climbed out directly.
