The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 37 I will repay evil with kindness, and give the master a chance to achieve enlightenment and go to the paradise, okay?

The Master of Wisdom remained silent, and only heard Wu Chang continue:

"It's not a big deal to confine a six-year-old child to a mountain, but almost thirty years have passed, and it's still a bit cruel to confine him to a mountain."

"And they plan to let him die of old age in a temple deep in the mountains. Isn't that too cruel?"

"Since you came to Tiantai Sect, the temple has never treated you badly." Master Zhihui finally spoke.

"You've never treated me badly? Are you afraid that if you treat me badly, it will bring out the evil nature hidden in my heart?" A sneer appeared on Wuchang's lips.

"It turns out that you have been enduring for nearly thirty years. The indifference, tranquility and calmness you have shown are all superficial." Master Zhihui chanted a Buddhist name and said:
"It seems that my decision to bring you back to Mount Tiantai was the right one. Otherwise, there would have been another evil king in the world."

"My martial arts talent is mediocre, but the Evil King is a rare genius that only appears once in a hundred years. How can I compare to him?" Wu Chang continued calmly:
"In the past, my master taught me some basic Buddhist inner skills. This shallow inner skill can only allow me to live to the age of seventy without any disaster or illness."

The wise master spoke in a deep voice:
"So, I am very glad that I not only brought you back to Tiantai Sect, but also did not let you practice martial arts. I only let you be a literary monk."

Wu Chang's expression remained calm, and he said:

"The culprit is obviously the evil king, and I am just an innocent victim. Why is the master so partial to me and only traps me in this mountain? As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Why don't I go to him openly, eliminate the evil, defend justice, and restore peace to the world?"

He changed the subject, and an expression of enlightenment appeared on his face:

"It's not that I don't want to eliminate the devil and defend the way, it's obvious that I can neither kill him nor capture him, so I can only sigh in despair and say "there is nothing I can do" and let him go free."

"As the saying goes, if you always keep a peaceful mind, you will naturally achieve Buddhahood. Don't let the resentment in your heart ruin your years of practice." The wise master said with deep eyes:
"You hate me for keeping you in the mountains, and you also blame me for not letting you practice martial arts. But you know that you are a monk, so you should keep your mind pure and not care about worldly things. If there are no worldly things and people to disturb you, what is the difference between practicing martial arts and not practicing martial arts?"

"Yes, we are all monks, so why can the master learn martial arts but I can't? Is it because I once had an evil master?"

The mockery on Wu Chang's face grew stronger:
"Master, you have said so much, but you are still wary of me. Your attitude reminds me of something."

He paused and said:

"Once bitten, twice shy."

When the wise master heard this, he was silent for a long time before he said:
"In recent years, the world has been in turmoil, thieves and robbers have been rampant, and everyone is in danger. The first to prosper are martial arts schools and dojos."

"You have never practiced martial arts, and you have only learned some weak internal skills, which are not even second-rate. Do you know that once you go down the mountain, it won't take long."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a burst of sneer.

"Hahaha, Master, these words actually leave me speechless. I am where I am today thanks to you." Wu Chang said expressionlessly:
"I'll break one of your legs, give you a pair of crutches, and then tell you that without him, you can't even walk, so you have to learn to be grateful."

"Master, this is what you mean."

"Amitabha, you have already developed anger. It seems that no matter what I say, you will not listen to me."

"Master, you think you are good, but in my eyes, it is the greatest evil." Wu Chang replied indifferently.

"Forget it, go to the Sutra Library and copy some Buddhist scriptures." Master Zhihui lowered his eyes and said calmly. "Haha, so, the bigger the fist, the more powerful the truth, so you can order me around." Wuchang spoke word by word:
"Master, do you know that reading Buddhist scriptures can also reveal a great master?"

As he spoke, his face visibly rejuvenated, returning to the age of about twenty years old. An inexplicable aura enveloped his entire body, and his body even felt somewhat ethereal and uncertain.

"Since I awakened to my past and present lives three years ago, I have felt that God loves to play tricks on me. He made me worship the Demon Sect's Evil King as my master, and then I was suppressed by the master for twenty-seven years. It seems that I really have no destiny with the righteous path."

The wise master's eyes widened and he shouted:
"Illusion? Could it be that the Evil King really passed on the "Immortal Seal" to you?"

He immediately shook his head:
"No, Shi Zhixuan's "Immortal Seal" and "Phantom Demon Body Technique" were discovered by us when we discovered his true identity and wanted to recover his martial arts."

"Moreover, he has never come to Tiantai Mountain in these years."

When the wise master said this, he couldn't help but sigh:

"I was wrong. I only knew that you had a good character, but I didn't know that you had an extraordinary understanding. You actually understood the way of martial arts and practiced extraordinary martial arts. No wonder the evil king accepted you as his disciple."

"If the evil king really regarded me as his disciple, why would he let me stay in Tiantai Mountain? I guess he never planned to pass on his Huajian Sect and Butian Pavilion to me." Xi Mingzhang said vaguely:

"As for the way of martial arts, according to my observations of the Tiantai sect and my understanding of Buddhist classics, it is the integration of the martial arts realm, the spiritual realm, and the realm of life. It can be roughly divided into acquired, innate, master, great master, celestial being, and broken."

"The acquired realm is about accumulating true energy in the body, and the Xuanguan is the gateway from the acquired to the innate. It is the watershed where the mind changes from restlessness to tranquility. Specifically, after the true energy changes from acquired to innate, it changes from restlessness to tranquility."

“And this entrance is, of course, neither on the body nor outside the body.”

"This so-called orifice is not an ordinary orifice, it is formed by the combination of Qian and Kun, and is called the Shenqi Point, which contains the essence of Kan and Li."

"It is not possible to get out by focusing on a certain part of the body or visualizing a large, bright ball of light in the void. Only by guarding the state of mind and calming the emotions can one realize the mysterious gate."

"The Grandmaster realm is to reach the state of subtlety. This is both a process and a result. When one is subtle to a certain degree, every situation is known to the eye. This state is called subtlety. The process of understanding every situation is also called subtlety."

"The Grand Master has a perfect mind and no flaws in his body. He is smooth and perfect, and has begun to glimpse the way of the unity of man and nature."

“The state of heaven and man is when heaven and man merge into one, and there is no longer any distinction between inside and outside the universe. One becomes a part of the universe without distinction between self and others, and is embedded in a certain eternal and boundless power of heaven, earth and the universe.”

"As for breaking, nothing has been gained yet."

The wise master sighed:
"Wuchang, you are truly a rare talent. You have gained such a thorough understanding of martial arts just by watching the monks in the temple and reading Buddhist scriptures."

"In Buddhism, we value cause and effect. Since the master feels that bringing me back to Mount Tiantai is the right thing to do, then I can understand the bad consequences." Xi Mingzhang's voice seemed increasingly distant and indifferent.

"Don't worry. After all, I have been in the mountains for nearly thirty years. Not to mention the people, even the grass and trees have some feelings. I will destroy the meridians of all the monks of Tiantai Sect and disperse the true qi of the martial monks. Anyway, the master also said that for monks with pure six senses, it doesn't make any difference whether they practice martial arts or not."

"I will repay evil with kindness and give you the opportunity to achieve enlightenment and go to the paradise, okay?"
