Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 498
(8)

The most exciting contest of the day was the battle between the blind swordsman and the broken monk.

The first contest came to an end because Mei Xinghe conceded defeat, which was a disappointment; the second contest was a duel between Fu Wentao, a broken-arm swordsman, and Yu Chizhen, a patrolman of Dali Temple. After passing the white blade, Yuchi really bowed his head and admitted defeat.

The third martial arts competition was quite funny in comparison.

Qiao'er, another Hun horse archer under Murong An's command, was naturally afraid of poisonous snakes and insects, and it happened that her opponent Yang Kang was the best at controlling poison.Yang Kang only showed his moves for a while, and let out a poisonous snake from his cuff, Qiao'er was so frightened that he fainted.Yang Kang won this battle without a fight.

Murong An off the court saw this, his expression was distorted with anger, and then he left the court silently without saying a word.Qiaoer was resting in the temporary tent next to her, and when she recovered, she suddenly became overwhelmed when she didn't see her master. Soon, members of the Taiping Taoist came to pick her up.

Today's last match started at sunset, and people were still immersed in the jokes just now.

Two men and women dressed as Taoists supported each other and slowly walked to the center of the competition field. The woman patiently tidied up the man's appearance and wiped the sword carefully and solemnly.

"Master Yuheng, please continue to wave the demon-breaking sword in your hand for the Celestial Master!" Her voice was very thin and soft, but her inner strength was strong enough to spread these words throughout the entire Wengcheng.

The woman knelt down and bowed solemnly, as if she was performing some ceremony, and everyone present was stunned—that swordsman seemed to be a blind person?
Soon, another martial artist also entered the field.

Juexin, a monk who broke the precepts, I don’t know when the story began to be told: but it is said that this person was expelled from the monastery where he grew up because of violating the precept of killing, and then had an affair with a monster, committing crimes everywhere, fortunately, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple Teach me, from then on, I will take care of my heart and nourish my nature, and return to Buddhism.

Compared with the mysterious blind swordsman, everyone obviously prefers to discuss the topic of breaking monks.

Stories like laying down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha are very popular in this place full of Buddhist temples. Believers don't care if the story is true or not, as long as they think they can understand some Zen from it, then this is a good fable.

In fact, they have fallen into the trap of desire unknowingly: it is not a mistake to want to practice Zen and enlightenment, but "enlightenment" with such a clear purpose often runs counter to the "nature and emptiness" that Buddhism emphasizes.

This is not enlightenment, but just satisfying one's basic emotional needs.

All in all, no one doubted the identity of the monk who broke the precepts. Everyone thought that he came to the stage with goodwill and Buddha-nature to compete in martial arts.

"Boom! Dinglingling" Juexin suddenly raised his staff and knocked on the ground, "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after practicing the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, he will see that all five aggregates are empty, and he will overcome all hardships..." He raised his single palm, There are words in the mouth.

Someone who understood the scriptures asked: "This is for no reason, how did you start to transcend?"

Juexin continued to recite the scriptures.

"Could it be the same as the rumors said? The monk who broke the precepts felt that he had converted to Buddhism again, and he didn't dare to kill recklessly, so he recited the scriptures to warn himself."

"It makes sense, it makes sense, it seems to be true."

The blind swordsman suddenly said loudly: "On the contrary."

"The master over there is trying to transcend for me, right?" The blind swordsman held his sword calmly and said, "He wants to kill me."

The common people under the martial arts arena were in harmony with each other, and they talked with the blind swordsman.

"What the hell is he talking about?"

"Is it not just a story to break the precepts?"

"Even if it is true, how could that General Baifeng allow such a thing to happen?"

The blind swordsman sneered and said, "Is it really not allowed? How do I feel that someone will definitely die in this martial arts arena."

After finishing speaking, Juexin raised his Zen staff again after reciting the scriptures.

"Boom! Dinglingling!" He knocked on the ground again, and the Buddhist bell on the Zen stick made a crisp sound: "I hope that the benefactor put down the butcher knife, and he will return to the shore."

The blind swordsman didn't say a word, he stood quietly, his appearance was so exquisite that he was a bit coquettish, if he wasn't a Taoist, he must be sought after by the girl next door.Although his eyes were closed all the time, his eyes and brow arches were very slender, and he was very confident when he smiled, as if he had never been blind.The hair crown is neatly arranged, and the clothes are spotless.

"Your Excellency is a blind person. I shouldn't be violent..." Before Juexin finished speaking, the blind swordsman sneered and said, "If you want to kill me, how can you do it without attacking? Master won't think about debating scriptures alone. Come and let me kill myself?"

"Then, I'm offended." Juexin raised the 'Magic Rod' and hammered at the blind swordsman's heart. This long Buddhist staff can be used as both a hammer and a spear.

The blind swordsman didn't have any intention of dodging, and took the move abruptly - he didn't move at all, even the sword hadn't been fully drawn out, only a small opening was exposed for defense.Yu Hengzi used some special skills to defuse Juexin's hard-hitting attack.

"Clang!" Sparks splashed and brushed against the blind swordsman's nose. "Is it a golden lacquered Buddhist staff? It weighs more than eighty catties. It turns out that you are the monk who has been destroying the Taiping Dao and Taoist temples everywhere for the past year."

It was not until he clearly heard the "voice" of the exchange of weapons that Yu Hengzi made his own judgment, which was accurate.

Juexin instantly turned the hammer into a spear, and stabbed the blind swordsman straight with the protruding tip of the Buddhist staff.

"Dinglingling..." was so powerful that it shook the Buddha's bell hanging on the Buddhist staff loudly.

The blind swordsman turned his face and listened, instead of "looking" at the enemy, he listened with his ears, as if time had stopped suddenly.

In an instant, he drew the sword with his backhand, and "flying sword" came out, and in an instant, he appeared behind the monk Juexin.

"Dinglingling..." A Buddhist bell was hung on the tip of the sword. Yu Hengzi took it into his hand as if playing with it, and put the sword back into its sheath at the same time, saying: "The workmanship is not bad."

Juexin suddenly fell to his knees and was injured at some point, bleeding from his calf, arm, and right cheek.

"Ah!" He screamed, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up, angrily launched a second attack: "Fu Mo, Wei Dao!"

The monk rang the Buddhist staff for the third time since he stepped onto the competition stage. The solemn sound of the Buddha bell can deter demons, and it represents the "correct distance" when sitting in meditation.

Juexin has a firm will, and wants to decide between life and death in the next move.

Yu Hengzi suddenly felt trembling, and he showed a wicked smile, as if the opponent's faint burning fighting spirit had also infected him, while continuing to hold the sword, his right hand never left the hilt.

The sky at dusk is divided into two distinct areas: one is the area where the setting sun is still still colorful;

"For the blind, night is eternal day."

General Bai Feng of Zhongwei suddenly stood up and stopped the contest, saying: "Monk Juexin, your footsteps are flimsy and your wounds are bleeding, so you can't continue the contest. The winner is Yu Hengzi of the Taiping Dao!"

"What?" Jue Xin was dissatisfied, and was about to step forward to argue.

Bai Feng walked over to support Juexin's shoulder, and whispered: "Just now, he slashed your upper, middle and lower three swords. This is telling you that the 'Wuming Flying Sword' wants to win Take your head, it's easy."

So far, the first day of competition has come to a successful conclusion.

The winners are Ling'er, a Hun horse archer, Fu Wentao, a one-armed swordsman, Yang Kang, a Breaking Bad master, and the last one, Yu Hengzi, a blind swordsman.
