Chapter 40: Buddhism
Lu Muran saw that he had profound internal strength, but he was not afraid, but he felt that after all, he was the sect of martial arts in the world, and he had to give some face. Strode towards Mingyuan, opposite him, sitting cross-legged. said: "If the master has anything to say, just say it." ”
Ming Yuan's eyes opened slightly, and he said unhurriedly: "Dare to ask Master Lu why he learns martial arts?"
Lu Muran: "The Son of Heaven is mediocre, the evil official is in charge, and practicing martial arts can protect himself from mermaid flesh." ”
Mingyuan: "I'll tell Master Lu Shi a story, do you want to hear it?"
Lu Muran didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of the old monk in front of him, and he didn't have the heart to think about it, so he just said, "Speak, I'll listen." ”
The story in Mingyuan's mouth is narrated:
One day, Ananda was sitting in meditation in the woods, and suddenly he felt that his mind could not be settled, and he wanted to ask the Buddha some questions, so he went to the Buddha's residence and asked the Buddha to give teachings.
Ananda asked, "World-honored One, what kind of karma did the five great disciples, such as Chenru, Bhattili, Bhashabo, Ahayu, and Mahanan, enable them to attain enlightenment first?"
The Buddha told Ananda, "The five disciples such as Chenru had a cause for me in my previous life. I used my blood to quench their hunger and thirst so that they could be peaceful and happy, and in this life I have become a Buddha, so that they can first receive enlightenment. ”
Ananda then asked, "World-honored One, what is the state of your blood quenching their hunger and thirst?"
The Buddha said, "In the past, there was a king called Compassion, who was compassionate by nature, and he always taught the people to do the ten good deeds, so that the hearts of the people of the whole country were good, and they did not do anything bad, and there was an atmosphere of harmony and goodness everywhere. Therefore, all the demons did not dare to invade and persecute, and no one had their essence and flesh to eat, and all the demons became emaciated and had no strength, and they were about to starve to death. ”
At this time, five demon kings summoned up their courage and turned into Yaksha and ventured before the king and said to the king, "Merciful king, we depend on the essence of human flesh and blood to survive, but all the people of the whole country have practiced the ten virtues under your teaching, so that evil cannot overcome the righteous path, and we are cut off from our source of food, and we will not survive." Kind king, please help us!"
When the king heard what they said, he took pity on the ghosts, and decided to help them, so he drew his sword and stabbed himself in five places, and immediately bled profusely.
The king said, "This is what I give to you, take it for yourselves."
Each of the five yakshatras took a vessel to receive the blood from the king, took it and drank it as he pleased, and only stopped when he was satisfied. They were so grateful to the king that they could not bear to leave at once.
The king said to the Yakshas, "The three poisons of greed and ignorance in your hearts are as hot as fire, so you are reincarnated and fall into the ghost path and live an unhappy life. You should practice the Ten Virtues diligently, wash away the dirt of sin, and restore your pure and comfortable body. After I become a Buddha, I will receive the blood of precepts and wisdom in my Dharma body, which should help you eliminate the three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance, so that you can attain nirvana and no longer fall into samsara. ”
After saying this, the Buddha said to Ananda, "Ananda, you should know that I was the king of Cili at that time, and the five yakshatras are the five disciples of Chenru and so on. Because I had promised to enlighten them first, as soon as I started to talk about the Dharma, the five disciples were the first to attain enlightenment and liberation, and they were able to ascend to the shore of enlightenment early. ”
When Lu Muran heard this, his heart was touched, and he knew that he was just like the ghost king in the story, so he got up and bowed to Mingyuan, no longer said a word, turned around and went down the mountain, and left the Lingjing Temple. From then on, he was no longer competitive, but returned to Tianjue Mountain, began to cultivate himself, accepted apprentices, and devoted himself to managing Tianjue Mountain. After that, there was little movement on the rivers and lakes, and soon, the heads of Xiaoyao Forest, Yuqionghai, and Netherworld Valley reached a forbidden land covenant with Lu Muran, which strengthened the position of Tianjue Mountain in the rivers and lakes.
Despite the covenant, Lu Muran never begged anyone, including this Black Snake attack.
Honghai stood in place for a long time, and was awakened by Fan Fengyang: "Old Five, this person is already old, why are you afraid!"
The name of the Red Sea means the sea of blood, and it is that he has killed too many people in his life, but today he is so angry, he also feels ridiculous, he jerked his mouth a few times, pulled out the Heavenly Tribulation Knife and went straight to Lu Muran.
Lu Muran had already set his sights on the Red Sea, and saw him rushing towards him. Lifting the Heavenly Tribulation Knife snatched in his hand, he raised it high and slashed downward, there was no false move, from top to bottom, the speed was so fast, the momentum was so sudden, the Red Sea couldn't dodge. If you dodge, no matter which direction you go left or right, you will definitely not be able to keep one arm. had to resist with a horizontal knife, and two Heavenly Tribulation Knives of the same material intersected, and sparks flashed. Honghai only felt that the Heavenly Tribulation Knife in his hand had failed to use the power to resist, and when he looked at it, the Heavenly Tribulation Knife in his hand had been broken into two, and he only felt that his brain was cold, and half of his skull had been cut off. With an incredible expression on his face, he fell to the ground with a soft slump.
The same Heavenly Tribulation Knife has completely different power in the hands of different people.
Zhou Lang was forced out of breath by Liu Wuqiao's long sword, one sword and one sword, and the two fought the most fiercely. Liu Wuqiao and Zhou Lang saw the Red Sea fall to the ground at the same time, and their moods were completely different. Liu Wuqiao's swordsmanship is more stable, and his moves are steady and steady, although Zhou Lang can see that the person in front of him is inferior to himself in terms of martial arts, but because of his steady moves and no leakage, he has never been able to take it.
Tang Bao led twelve servants to fight with the Black Snake tribe, the Black Snake was too ferocious, and three servants were seriously injured in a short time. The soup bag makes a good hidden weapon in one hand, and all kinds of objects fly out of the hand, such as thistles, needles, boomerangs, meteor darts, and throwing knives, all of which come out of their hands. The light work is excellent, dressed in green clothes, floating in the air like a fairy. Where would anyone have thought that such a woman would have so many hidden weapons on her body, and her techniques are exquisite, and there are few times when she misses.
The soup dumplings were getting faster and faster, and seeing the master's strength to kill alone, he became more and more unrestrained in his hands, and countless darts were thrown out in both hands, which made people dazzled, and it was impossible to resist. The secret weapon of the soup bag was not poisonous, and the black snakes that were not fatal all got up to fight again, and dozens of black snakes were killed and injured for a while, and half of them could get up and fight again.
The soup bag shot too fast, and in a short time, all the more than 700 hidden weapons on the body were thrown away, and the black snake pounced, and even the jade hairpin on the head shot out, hitting a black snake in the right eye. Now she really became a weak woman with her bare hands, but fortunately, there were servants to resist. Lu Muran also knew the temperament of the soup dumplings, and he was in the group of black snakes, and walked into the soup dumplings step by step.
Lu Muran noticed that there was a captain missing, and guessed that he might find another way up the mountain, worried that he would encounter Lu Yunli, and it would be difficult for him to resist alone. Walking into the soup bag, he killed several black snakes around him, and said to the soup bag: "You are good at light work, hurry up the mountain to see how Lu Yunli is doing, there is one less black snake captain here, I guess he must be taking a detour up the mountain." ”
Tang Bao nodded, turned around and jumped to the top of the Earth Gate, dodging and flying to the top of the mountain. With soup dumplings to go, Lu Muran was much more relieved, and he was not afraid to face the rest of the black snakes, so he jumped into the remaining black snake tribes and slaughtered wantonly.
Fan Fengyang saw that Zhou Lang was being entangled and had no time to take care of anything else, although he could win against the drunken maniac in front of him, he still had to fight for more than 100 moves, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the whistle in his mouth blew out for help. I saw that there was still a black snake tribe of 100 people hidden in the mountain stream, and the leader was Sun Hucheng, whose eyes were cold and ruthless.
A group of black snakes rushed straight towards Lu Muran, surrounding him in the middle, like a snake catching a cunning rabbit, for fear of running away and entangled in his body.
The more Lu Muran encountered a strong opponent, the more excited he became, and this fierce character also became the title of Biao Ye. Sun Hucheng saw that the good hands among his subordinates could not withstand two or three moves before he would die, and he went straight to the long sword immortal Liu Wuqiao.
The two masters of the Black Snake attacked one person at the same time, and they had not encountered an opponent in all these years. Liu Wuqiao knew that the black snake would definitely attack one of our senior brothers, and this method was commonly used by the black snake. Expecting to attack himself, he had taken precautions beforehand. I knew in my heart that if I were killed in the hands of the black snake, I would be the most troublesome person besides the master. In that way, the two black snakes attacked the master together, and the murder was more auspicious. I have followed my master to learn martial arts for many years, and I have never seen my master and others exert their full strength. Even so, in the face of these two cold-blooded killers on the rivers and lakes, I don't know if I can resist it. I have made up my mind that the black snake must not be allowed to succeed.
Thinking of this, the steady footsteps became flexible, and the grappling was changed to wandering, trying to avoid the attack of the two. Seeing this, Zhou Lang and Sun Hucheng attacked Liu Wuqiao one after the other, so that he could not retreat, so he had to face the battle. made Liu Wuqiao in a difficult situation. After a few hard moves, a long sword made it impossible to match two lightning-like Heavenly Tribulation Swords, no matter how fast they were. In an instant, there were multiple scars on his body, and blood flowed.
Lu Muran looked down on the black snake, but he didn't expect that there was a black snake tribe hidden in the mountain. Seeing that Liu Wuqiao was defeated by the two black snake masters, he jumped up, wanting to jump out of the encirclement of many black snakes. In an instant, countless flying snake cones shot towards him, and the Heavenly Tribulation Knife in both hands turned into white light, sweeping all the flying snake cones down. The leap was unsuccessful, and when he was about to jump again, many black snakes surrounded him, and countless sword lights flashed beside him. Anxious in his heart, his hands danced wildly, and more than 20 people were killed in an instant. The Black Snake people surrounded Lu Muran to the death, unable to rush out to save him, and were very anxious.
At this time, the twelve servants, regardless of whether they were injured or not, and no matter how many Heavenly Tribulation Knives were slashed at them, they all turned a blind eye and rushed straight at Sun Hucheng. These twelve joined forces to attack Sun Hucheng alone, which made it difficult for him to parry, and he took a few steps back, widening the distance between him and Liu Wuqiao, allowing him to relieve the pressure.
Lu Muran saw that Liu Wuqiao was temporarily unhindered, and he settled down, and the Heavenly Tribulation Knife he had snatched earlier in his hand had already curled up like an iron rod. Seeing a black snake, he threw away the Heavenly Tribulation Knife in his hand, grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and the internal force in his hand urged, the wrist bone was pinched and shattered, and the knife fell out of his hand. Lu Muran didn't let go, left him behind, and fell heavily to the ground like using a giant axe to open a mountain. When he landed, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the blood and flesh were splashed everywhere, and this shocking power made the black snakes stunned.
