Chapter Seventy-Two: Self-Defeating (Today's Two Chapters in One)

The official activities of the Four Nations Tournament are divided into three parts, one is to visit the famous Golden Buddha Temple in Fuluo, the second is to listen to the real living Arhat Zhaowu lectures, and the third is to do guidance and practice with young monks and boxers. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the afternoon, under the scorching sun and the steamer-like environment, Lou Cheng and others entered the temple and enjoyed the exotic Zen forest that was quite different from the domestic Buddhist temples at close range.

The architecture here is pointy, golden, and the characteristics of primitive Buddhism come to the fore, because Theravada regards Mahayana as a heresy, does not recognize the bodhisattva position, nor does it recognize the many Buddhas mentioned in the other side's sutras, and the main hall here is only dedicated to the "world-honored one" Shakyamuni and his disciples, such as Kasya, such as others.

And outside the main hall, there is an urn pavilion, there is a "four-faced god" King Brahma guarding the door, the golden body is heavy and shiny, and the eight arms are stretched and held, so it is not solemn.

Because it was an official event, Lou Cheng and Peng Leyun both wore delegation martial arts uniforms with red vertical stripes on a white background, which formed a sharp contrast with Tang Zexun and Yamashita Tiger, who were not too hot in traditional clothes.

And Vega is still wearing a big-brimmed hat and a general's uniform, walking like a dragon and a tiger, and her domineering spirit is undiminished, and she seems to have forgotten the scars of losing to Tang Zexun, and the fact that she has not even forced out of her "Four Yan Returns".

Barnum is dressed as a typical Nanzheng boxer, with white straps wrapped around his hands and feet, habitually falling last, walking in a position where no one notices, Waku and Guchai are thin and fat, and the monk's robe is eye-catching, complementing the surrounding environment.

In the process of visiting, they are in groups according to the different delegations, there are obvious boundaries between each other, Lou Cheng holds a mobile phone, and starts to be a conscientious tourist, as long as he can take pictures, regardless of the craftsmanship, he clicked and clicked, and planned to share with his daughter-in-law at night, as for An Chaoyang and Ren Li, the only role is to wait to be "stolen" by himself!

Peng Leyun: The mobile phone camera is broken, and the guy who wanders from time to time is only worthy of being a salted fish!

Just after half past three, they ended their visit and entered a lecture hall-like building, on the top of which sat a monk with a yellow face and thin muscles, describing an old monk, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, his body was simple and unpretentious, and he did not see a little miracle.

Zhao Wu did not raise his eyelids, his attitude was peaceful, and when he saw that the people had gathered, he began to speak in the Pali language in which the Buddha had written the scriptures in the past, and the four middle-aged monks standing on his left and right made translations in English, Chinese, Dongying, and Sacred Elephant at the same time.

Lou Cheng was interested in distinguishing and pondering, which could be regarded as broadening his knowledge, but listening to it, he had a strong doubt.

What Master Zhao Wu is telling is not a story of Buddhist scriptures, but a real "Sixteen Views of Wisdom" cultivation method, starting from understanding the body and mind, step by step, metaphorically explaining, making people feel that they can really practice something.

"Wouldn't it, the cultivation method of the 'Sixteen Views of Wisdom' is so worthless, just tell us about it casually?" Lou Cheng leaned closer to Peng Leyun and said in a low voice.

This is equivalent to the core strength of the "Ice Department" and the "Fire Department"!

Peng Leyun glanced at him sideways, his lips moved, and his voice was inaudible but straight into Lou Cheng's ears:

"He's just talking about an introduction, and he won't talk about the more advanced content of the 'Sixteen Views of Wisdom', so if you really get interested in it and embark on this path, then he will definitely welcome it with both hands and feet, personally guide it, and teach the Fa in person. ”

Seeing that Lou Cheng was stunned, he continued: "It's not bad to listen to it, the 'Sixteen Views of Wisdom' is not recorded in any Buddhist scripture, it is the eminent monks who cultivated the Arhat fruit position after Shakyamuni, well, they are called sages, and they have summarized and refined the practical practice and empirical method by themselves, which is very interesting." ”

Lou Cheng glanced at Peng Leyun up and down, and smiled with a strange smile: "It's normal for me to listen, you said that you are a disciple of the sect, half a monk, what are you listening to here?"

I decided, to give Peng Leyun a nickname, just "Taoist", a Taoist priest who wanders outside the world all the time!

Peng Leyun chuckled and said: "Since the Song Dynasty, there have been many mutual interpretations of Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, so as to improve each other's philosophical systems, and some of them have also partially integrated each other's cultivation methods......

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes began to drift away, and his thoughts were no longer focused.

And Lou Cheng's heart moved, he turned his body, raised his head, and happened to see Master Zhaowu looking at him, bowing his head slightly, not angry, not smiling, but the half-open and half-closed eyes opened all of a sudden.

At the same time as they opened, Lou Cheng's eyes seemed to have a glow, and he saw that the skin of Master Zhaowu sitting there turned gold, grew three heads, stretched out six arms, and the whole body was full of flames, sacred and solemn!

Lou Cheng was deeply shocked, and subconsciously condensed the "Ice Mirror" and reflected the surroundings, suspecting that his senses and spirit were affected by Master Zhaowu's miracle and hallucinated!

In the "Ice Mirror", the water is swaying, and a golden-bodied Arhat with three heads and six arms shines brightly!

Really...... Lou Cheng still didn't believe in evil, so he simply made a "strong hug", letting the ice and fire rotate and balance, forming a miniature "starry sky" where darkness and light, cold and high temperature coexist, so as to mobilize the subtle premonition that has been integrated into himself to the greatest extent.

The surroundings seemed to become empty, Lou Cheng looked at Zhao Wu again in the release of strength, and found that his muscles had bulged into a streamlined shape, and his skin was glowing with dark golden light, but how could there be three heads, where there were six arms, and where there were flames all over the body!

No, in the void around him, the momentum was condensed, like a substance, and two vague heads and four arms holding artifacts were faintly born......

At this point, Lou Cheng understood that the Arhat golden body he had just seen was half-true and half-false, half-real and half-virtual, and was composed of the combination of the alienation generated by Master Zhaowu's physical body and the momentum condensed by the strong spirit.

This is a master similar to the realm of Waigang......

Thinking about the scene of the master's white world, he is really a land immortal......

As the thought turned, Lou Cheng's mood became peaceful, and he admired the miracle that was not revealed.

His gaze swept over Peng Leyun, and found that the other party's eyes were out of focus, his expression was dull, and he didn't know where he had "wandered", and he didn't care about the Arhat golden body at all.

Master Zhaona's flattering eyes were thrown to the blind man...... Lou Cheng scolded a sentence, moved his eyes and looked again, only to see Ren Li looking at the top intently, the light in her eyes was dark and bright, as if there was a storm gathering, and An Chaoyang muttered to himself with a feeling of emotion, as if he was reciting poetry.

Lou Cheng was surprised and tilted his ears, only to hear An Chaoyang chant faintly:

"That year, I kowtowed and hugged the dust, not for the Buddha, but for your warmth......"

...... The corners of Lou Cheng's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but laugh and scold secretly:

Hehe, these salted fish!

Listen to the scriptures in vain!

Well, except for Ren Li......

I have to tell Ke Xiaoke about this, so I can make sure I can amuse her!

At ten o'clock at four, the lecture ended, and a group of people walked out of the meditation hall, Lou Cheng casually looked at Tang Zexun and Vega, wanting to see from the other party's face the remnants of the reaction that he had just witnessed the "Arhat Golden Body", but these people were all determined people, and their expressions had already returned to normal, so that people could not get a glimpse of the clues, but there were other boxers and samurai, and their spirits were still a little trance, and they were obviously greatly shocked, and they seemed to be about to doubt life.

Next, it is the part of guiding the practice, according to the arrangement of the organizing committee, divided into two groups, several female fighters first to guide the young female boxers, the rest go to the dining hall, taste the monk's meal, and wait for the rotation.

Because he was worried that Ren Li would be lost, the team leader Zhong Ningtao told Lou Cheng a few words, and then hurriedly followed, and the tiger under the mountain watched quietly, nodding his head invisibly.

Saido.

The monk's meals were sent one by one, the water was clear water, the rice was coarse food, it was very simple, Lou Cheng, Peng Leyun and An Chaoyang each ate a few bites, and then stopped moving.

If they are not hungry, how can they torture themselves?

Speaking of which, I began to miss the delicacies of my motherland again...... Lou Cheng swallowed.

After a while, the monks began to clean up the tableware, and the tiger under the mountain not far away glanced over from the corner of his eye, and saw that the three of them had no objections, and let the other party take away the utensils in front of them, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

This monk has already been bought, and the tableware they used will be extracted directly by Otake Truth!

Although Lou Cheng and the others ate out every day, they were not booked, so they couldn't buy it in advance, and their team leader would do something at the end.

This time, the team leader has been transferred!

At this moment, Lou Cheng suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called out to the monk who was about to leave with the tableware, and said to Peng Leyun and An Chaoyang with a smile: "You guys, you are so careless! What kind of place is this, this is Nanyang! Evil arts are rampant, curses are everywhere, and you can't leave anything closely related to yourself, lest you be used to cast spells!"

Well, this is something that I thought of according to the advice of the team leader!

Seeing that Peng Leyun and An Chaoyang looked stunned, Lou Cheng proudly wiped the edge of the bowl he had used, and wiped other tableware stained with his own saliva.

"That's a good hand. Peng Leyun praised.

The ability to treat marks with flame without burning the cutlery itself is an impressive control!

Lou Cheng's transformation is almost complete, right?

As he spoke, he also stood up, and the silver of Zizi appeared in his hand, and wiped all the dishes that belonged to him, leaving nothing superfluous.

Seeing this, An Chaoyang also started eagerly, he hadn't practiced his abilities yet, so he had to destroy them with special fluctuations, and finally shamefully took out wet wipes.

The tiger under the mountain not far next to him watched quietly, stunned.

............

When several female masters were instructing, a strong wind suddenly blew, dispelling the dullness and teasing Ren Li's straight hair.

After practicing to the sixth grade, her hair is solid, and it is difficult to fall out without external force, and there is no need to tie up her hair in the guided exercises.

At this moment, Tang Zexun near her quietly flicked her fingers, and a wisp of wind that seemed to be twisted and entangled, hidden in the natural environment, perfectly matched with the movements of the sparring girl, "twisted" Ren Li's two hairs, and pulled them off silently, as if the girl's moves were accidentally caused.

No one can put "Stress Response" in their hair!

The two black hairs with hair follicles fell down, and although Ren Li noticed it, she didn't think it was strange, and continued to feed the trial girl.

Tang Zexun's expression became more and more leisurely, the smile on his face was still sweet, and after the instruction was completed, he pretended that an item had fallen and rolled to the side, so he walked over and bent down to pick it up.

............

When Ren Li returned to the dining hall, Lou Cheng told her his words about the Nanyang evil art curse witch Gu again, and finally reminded her to pay attention.

Ren Li replied confidently:

"It's nothing, I know curses. ”

"You also know the curse?" Lou Cheng was startled.

"That's right, there are some witch curses in the 'Plague Department', you have to prepare for a long time in advance, you don't have time to use it in battle, and the materials that can be collected are useless, and they often fail, but they are 100% accurate to themselves. Ren Li said thoughtfully, "I seem to have lost a few hairs just now, and I can curse ...... in reverse."

Speaking of this, she looked at Zhong Ningtao eagerly:

"Team leader, I applied to go out, and I have to buy some materials. ”

I rub, I can't imagine you are such a Ren Li...... I can't afford to mess with it...... Lou Cheng couldn't help wiping a cold sweat.

It's going to be cursed!

No, I seem to be able to bounce off the curse......

Thinking of this, he didn't say anything more, and together with Peng Leyun, An Chaoyang and others, he went to the square to guide a boxer or novice who was at most twelve or thirteen years old.

Looking at the other party's immature but engaged expression and skillful and fierce movements, Lou Cheng couldn't help but feel a little touched.

In China, at this age, he has just come into contact with martial arts, and he is still in the stage of laying the foundation and training his body, and there are still several years before he forms combat power, not that it has to be so long, but the whole society has formed a consensus that too early in-depth martial arts training will interfere with development, cause all kinds of adverse consequences, and may also affect children's mental health.

In this process, it will be supplemented by quality education, so as not to become illiterate one or two, and if the road of martial arts is cut off in the future, it will not become a waste.

But this is not the case in the Holy Elephant Country, most of them are quite poor, life is very difficult, although they will not have this meal without a meal, but it is not much better, they have to run around to support themselves at a very young age, to engage in all kinds of work, and they are fortunate to be selected to practice martial arts, it is simply a great thing, they can be trained as soon as possible, they have combat power as soon as possible, and they serve the cultivators as soon as possible, which is the common desire of several parties.

And due to the lack of high-level powerhouses, the referees of many matches here are not up to standard, and the battles often get out of control, filled with the smell of blood and cruelty, but similar boxing matches are extremely popular, and quite a lot of people love to watch this kind of and are willing to spend money for it.

According to the reports I have read, the boxers of the Holy Elephant Country are a group with a high disability rate, and if they do not reach the level of similar non-human and alienated roots, they will often be sick and painful after the prime of life, and they may not even live to be fifty.

Of course, compared to many other professions, this is already very happy, not only has a good income, but also can rely on force, bully the weak, and grab some resources, and the kind of shemale is really brilliant for a while, and the pain has been for many years, and it is fleeting.

The reason why there is such a difference between the two countries is because in addition to martial arts, other aspects of Huaguo are also developing very well, for children, practicing martial arts is a dream and a future prospect, while for the peers of the Holy Elephant Country, this is just survival.

With one punch and one kick, Lou Cheng guided wholeheartedly, there was no discrimination, only sighing.

The qualifications of the children on the other side can only be regarded as average, and they can't pass the first diversion in China, so they have to go to school......

At half past five in the afternoon, the event ended, Lou Cheng and the others did not encounter any moths, successfully found a place to eat, and returned to the hotel.

............

In the evening, where the Dongying delegation lived, the scientific researcher Otake Zhenren endured the excitement and began to carry out preliminary treatment of Ren Li's hair, intending to separate the hair follicles.

As he was concentrating on the operation, a ghostly light suddenly lit up in front of him, and he saw that the two hairs burned rapidly, instantly turning into ashes, and emitting a faint sweet smell of fruit.

"How so?" Otake was dumbfounded.

A few minutes later, the phone in the room of the leader of the Dongying delegation rang, he picked it up and listened to it, and found that it was Otake Zhen, and the other party was shouting with difficulty:

"Help, help......"

The team leader hurriedly went out, called for manpower, opened the real door of Dazhu, and saw him lying on the ground, bent into a shrimp, constantly vomiting, as if in pain.

"Yes, it's poisonous!" Otake said as he struggled to see the "rescuers."

............

"It seems to have made a mistake...... Ren Li muttered to herself as she looked at the dazzling array of arrangements in front of her.

"There shouldn't be anyone around, right?"

"Forget it, it won't really hurt people, and it will be uncomfortable for a while. ”

"Mm-hmm, that's done!"

Ren Li clapped her hands and walked to the bathroom happily, planning to take a beautiful bath.

............

The next day, August 27, Lou Cheng, who had recovered from his injuries, felt that he would be able to complete his transformation in two or three days and truly step into the inhuman realm.

After the morning sparring session, he cultivated himself, watched the video, and waited for the next match, looking forward to experiencing the "Six Paths of Reincarnation".

As for who can win the final championship between Peng Leyun and Tang Zexun, of course he is on the side of his teammates!

At half past seven in the evening, they arrived at the Elephantarium and entered the locker room to make the final adjustments before the game.

Outside the door, there are crowds of people, the heat wave is in full swing, not like watching a final, but like participating in a festival, inside the door, Peng Leyun is holding a mobile phone, and the battle video between Lou Cheng and Tang Zexun is playing on it, but the focus of his eyes is not in the picture, I don't know where he "flew", and what he thought of.

Ren Li, who had nothing to do, was also playing with her mobile phone with her head down, her thumb sliding, her good-looking eyebrows wrinkled from time to time, as if she wanted to argue with anyone, but she finally endured herself, and An Chaoyang was wearing headphones and listening to music quietly, as if she was in a no-man's land.

As for Lou Cheng, of course he was chatting with the little fairy.

"If you capsize, I can laugh at you for the rest of my life~" Yan Zheke covered his mouth and snickered.

Lifetime...... The corners of Lou Cheng's mouth hooked, and he crackled and typed: "It feels so scary...... I'm going to think about how far the waves will go!"

In this way, time passed minute by minute, Lou Cheng put away his mobile phone, and planned to close his eyes for fifteen minutes first.

At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Peng Leyun's "return", his eyes rejuvenated, his heart couldn't help but move, he remembered something, and asked in a low voice: "What do you say is the curse? It feels weird and terrifying, is it based on the principle of quantum entanglement?"

He guessed with his half-understood knowledge of physics.

Peng Leyun glanced sideways at him and chuckled:

"This touches my knowledge blind spot, I'm only an undergraduate......"

"Hey, do you know this stalk?" Lou Cheng blurted out in surprise.

"I'm not a primitive. Peng Leyun shook the mobile phone in his palm amusedly.

Both he and Lou Cheng's mentality was quite relaxed.

............

Where the Dongying delegation was, the team leader took a breath, put all kinds of distracting thoughts behind him, and stared at Tang Zexun and said:

"How does it feel?"

Next is the battle of honor for the Great Eastern Ying Kingdom!

Tang Zexun moved his hands and feet, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, the injury is almost no longer affected." ”

"Good. The team leader nodded in satisfaction.

............

In another locker room.

Gu Chai, who was making preparations, saw the leader coming over and heard him speak in a deep voice:

"Lou Cheng won the Tigers under the mountain, defeated Barnum, and even made Tang Zexun have to resort to the 'Four Yan Return', he is recognized as the top four strong man in this competition, as long as you defeat him, you can correct your name, correct the name of our holy elephant country, you will get everyone's praise and get all the glory!"

Gu Chai is also a monk who has achieved cultivation, and he was not excited when he heard this, but replied calmly:

"He's a real powerhouse, I have a certain gap with him, it's unlikely to win. ”

And he was also injured in the battle with Peng Leyun!

"Don't worry, we have communicated with Wu Sheng from Miluo, who will be the referee of the match between you and Lou Cheng. The team leader said with a slight expression.

"This will be discovered by Lou Cheng and doubted by everyone. Guchai shook his head slowly.

"No, because he won't affect the other party, and he won't interfere with your battle, it's just that his alienated ability can help you play better at a critical time!

It's too conspicuous to enter the finals, and the third place is just right!

Gu Chai was silent for a moment and then replied:

"I just know to be myself, and as for anything else, I don't hear it. ”

"Good. The team leader left satisfied.

Waku, who followed beside him, watched quietly and said nothing.

This may be the obstacle of Guchai's junior brother's cultivation, and only after he has really experienced it will he have some understanding......

When he won Lou Cheng, but he often felt guilty and troubled because of this incident, and could not be investigated, he could understand the falsehood of his body and mind, disgusted with everything in the world, and give birth to the intention of renunciation......

Bone Chai sat there for a long time, and it was not until the radio outside sounded that he suddenly shook his terrible fat and stood up like a mountain.
