Tour the world of martial arts

Chapter 254

Xiao Yuanshan took the lead, and soon arrived at the Shaolin Tibetan Scripture Pavilion with ease.

In the past 30 years, he has visited many times, so he is naturally very familiar with this place.

Looking at the rows of Buddhist scriptures on the bookshelves, Xiao Yuanshan secretly thought it was a pity, but he didn't miss it either.

After all, he knew that the Shaolin monks were right behind him and would arrive immediately, so he had no time to sigh.

Immediately, Xiao Yuanshan took out a handful of torches, ignited them in the wind, and threw them towards the bookshelf.

Xiao Yuanshan was about to leave, but found that the Huozhangzi hadn't landed on the bookshelf at all, but landed in the palm of a hand that suddenly stretched out from nowhere.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help being shocked.

In order to maintain the order of the martial arts conference, all the Shaolin monks came out in full force, and they were all near the Shaolin martial arts arena.

Therefore, he went all the way to the Buddhist scripture pavilion, but he didn't find any monks nearby.

Besides, with his internal strength, if there were people nearby, he would have heard the sound of breathing long ago. How could there be someone suddenly?

Xiao Yuanshan looked along the hand holding the fire folder, and saw a skinny monk wearing a green robe standing beside the bookshelf at some point.

The monk held the torch he had just thrown in one hand and a broom in the other, as if he was cleaning.

Moreover, this monk is not young, his beard and hair are white, and he seems to move slowly, he doesn't look like he has martial arts.

Xiao Yuanshan thought that he was nervous for a while, and the old monk might have been hiding behind the bookshelf just now, so he didn't notice him.

So he asked casually, "How long have you been here?"

The floor-sweeping monk slowly raised his head, and said slowly, "The benefactor is asking, how long have I been here?"

The floor-sweeping monk seemed too old to be counted, and after a while he said, "I can't remember whether it was 42 or 43 years. I just remember the first time Layman Xiao came here to read scriptures at night, I've been here for ten years."

Xiao Yuanshan was shocked when he heard this.In the past 30 years, he has been in and out of the Shaolin Tibetan Scripture Pavilion many times, thinking that he has never been discovered.Unexpectedly, the sweeping monk discovered it the first time.

This is simply unbelievable, Xiao Yuanshan couldn't believe it was true, so he asked, "Why have I never seen you?"

The sweeping monk said: "Because of the old layman Xiao, you are engrossed in the martial arts classics and have no other distractions, so naturally you can't see the old monk.

I remember layman, the first night you came to this Sutra Pavilion, what you borrowed was a book called "The Spectrum of Wuxiang Tribulation".Since then, the layman has entered the way of magic.such a pity! "

Xiao Yuanshan's shock was no small matter, he clearly remembered that the first book of stunts he read was this "Infinity Tribulation Spectrum", which was also one of Shaolin 72 stunts.

He always thought that no one else would know about it, but he didn't expect that the sweeping monk would say exactly what he did in the Sutra Pavilion.Xiao Yuanshan was suddenly startled and frightened, cold sweat broke out on his back.

The floor-sweeping monk continued to say: "The martial arts of this school are passed down from Master Bodhidharma.

Buddhist disciples learn martial arts for the purpose of strengthening their bodies and protecting the Dharma against demons.Therefore, when learning any martial arts, always have compassion and kindness in mind.

If it is really not based on Buddhism, then you will definitely hurt yourself when practicing martial arts.The more advanced the martial arts is, the more serious the hidden dangers will be.

If it's ordinary martial arts, it's fine, but if it's the superior martial arts of our school, such as 72 unique skills, it must be reconciled and resolved with compassion and Buddhism every day.

Otherwise, hostility will inevitably go deep into the heart, and the hidden dangers buried will become deeper and deeper, and will become more serious when it occurs in the future.

Do the three lay Buddhists understand? "

Xiao Yuanshan was even more surprised when he heard this.Three lay Buddhists, who are those two?
Following the gaze of the sweeping monk, he saw that at some point, there were already two more people in the Sutra Pavilion, they were Zhao Mingyuan and Wang Yuyan.

It turned out that at some point, the couple had already arrived here.And he didn't make a sound, just quietly listening to the sweeping monk's speech.

Xiao Yuanshan saw that it was Zhao Mingyuan and his wife who came here, and seeing that the two of them didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, so he didn't care.

After all, compared to Zhao Mingyuan, the sweeping monk who knew him well was even more terrifying in his eyes.

The floor-sweeping monk looked at Zhao Mingyuan and the two of them and said: "The virtuous couple found another way and practiced this Yijin Jing, which is also related to my Buddha. Fortunately, both of them have a compassionate heart, so there is no serious problem. I just hope that the two of you can do more good deeds in the future, that’s all.”

When Zhao Mingyuan heard this, he was also surprised that the sweeping monk could see that he and Wang Yuyan had both practiced Yi Jin Jing, and that they had practiced it in a different way, which is really extraordinary.

Presumably this floor-sweeping monk must be very familiar with the Yi Jin Jing, I am afraid that he can build a three-foot Qi wall, and the Yi Jin Jing also played an important role.

At this time, footsteps suddenly came from far and near.Then, eight or nine monks jumped into the attic.It was Xuan Sheng, Xuan Mie and other monks of Xuan's generation from Shaolin, as well as the people from Shenshan, Jiumozhi and the others.

When everyone came, they couldn't help being surprised to see Zhao Mingyuan and his wife and Xiao Yuanshan quietly listening to an old monk with a broom in front of him.It's just that everyone is a well-cultivated person, so they didn't bother.

I only heard the sweeping monk continue to say: "My Shaolin has been passed down for thousands of years, but only Patriarch Bodhidharma has cultivated all kinds of unique skills. After that, no one can practice these martial arts. Why, may King Ming answer me?"

Jiumozhi said: "This is a matter of your sect, how can I know about it?"

The sweeping monk said: "It's just because our sect has 72 unique skills, all of which are fierce and fierce, and often hurt people's lives. Therefore, every unique skill must be resolved by compassionate Buddhism.

If you don't have enough comprehension on top of the Zen principles of the Buddhist scriptures, you will naturally be hindered and unable to practice.

This is the blindness of knowledge.

Therefore, only the higher the cultivation level of Buddhism and the stronger the thoughts of compassion in this martial arts, the stronger the martial arts skills can be practiced.

If the Dharma is not enough, but forcibly cultivates superior martial arts, even if you don't go crazy, you will be entangled in internal injuries.

Back then, Master Xuancheng of our sect was the person who had practiced the most 200 unique skills in the past 72 years, but his tendons and veins were broken overnight and he became a cripple, because of this. "

After Zhao Mingyuan heard this, he thought in his heart that what the sweeping monk said sounds very reasonable.But, isn't this a kind of cognitive barrier?
He just knows that as long as the Dharma is advanced, it will be easier to practice these unique skills, and there will be no internal troubles.

This is just knowing it, not knowing why.I have already practiced these 72 unique skills, and I have also practiced the Yi Jin Jing. Is it because of my profound Dharma?
Of course, when it comes to compassion, Zhao Mingyuan is not far behind, and thinks that he is indeed a compassionate person.Or perhaps, it is indeed that my moral level is too high.

After listening to the words of the sweeping monk, some of them felt like Feng Guigao, some seemed to be missing something, and some didn't take it seriously.

The floor-sweeping monk continued: "Lady Xiao, have you recently felt any faint pain in the two acupoints 'Liangmen' and 'Taiyi' on your lower abdomen?"

Xiao Yuanshan's face immediately changed when he heard this, and everyone knew that the sweeping monk had hit the mark.

But the floor-sweeping monk continued to say: "Has the numbness on your 'Guanyuan point' become more serious recently?"

Xiao Yuanshan replied tremblingly: "What the monk said is true, the numbness here is getting deeper and wider."

The sweeping monk said: "The injury on Jushi Xiao's body was caused by forcibly practicing the martial arts skills of the Shaolin School. If you want to find the way to resolve it, you need to find it from Buddhism. If Jushi Xiao is willing to stay in Shaolin Temple and chant sutras every day , studying Buddhism, presumably these pains will be resolved in a short time."

Xiao Yuanshan laughed loudly after listening to the sweeping monk's words: "How am I going to do? It turns out that this is a different way to keep the old man in Shaolin. Hmph! Do you think I am afraid of death? Death is death, a little pain, and a little bit of pain. What counts?"

The sweeping monk said: "Layman Xiao misunderstood. The old monk just hoped that Layman Xiao could recite the Buddhist scriptures and develop a heart of compassion, so that he would stop killing again in the rivers and lakes.

If Layman Xiao wants to leave, he can leave at any time, and he has no intention of being imprisoned.

However, Jushi Xiao's great revenge has been avenged, so is there any unfulfilled wish, nostalgia for the world of mortals? "

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yuanshan's heart moved and he couldn't help asking himself.

Yes, in this world of mortals, what else can I miss?

My revenge has been avenged, and my son has also found a happy marriage. He lives in seclusion outside the Great Wall with his loved one, and the two happily herd horses and sheep.I really have no regrets.

Xiao Yuanshan fought and killed most of his life, and now, seeing his revenge, he really felt aimless for a while, and he was a little at a loss for what to do.

Where are you going by yourself?Go back to Liao Kingdom and follow your son to wander the world, or go to live in seclusion outside Yanmen Pass?

Hearing the words of the sweeping monk, Xiao Yuanshan really had a heart to convert to Buddhism.

It's just that he just forced Xuanci to death, does he just want to become a monk in this Shaolin Temple in his heart?
Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

However, Xiao Yuanshan has always had a forthright temperament, so he simply said directly: "This old man has killed countless people, and just forced Shaolin Abbot Xuanci to death, can such a person become a monk in Shaolin?"

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanshan was actually persuaded by the sweeping monk. Could this be the teaching of an eminent monk?
The sweeping monk said with a smile: "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately! Layman Xiao can fully understand, abandon evil and follow good, and the door of Buddhism will naturally open the door of convenience. Amitabha!"

All the monks present were admiring and admiring, and said in unison: "Amitabha!"

Seeing the scene, everyone was very happy, and the sweeping monk even planned to sit on the ground and lecture on the Dharma and the scriptures.

However, Zhao Mingyuan had other plans.

Zhao Mingyuan drew out the sword at his waist and said, "Master's Dharma is indeed admirable, and I heard that Master's martial arts are also the best in the world. Zhao is not talented, but he wants to experience it."
