The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 24

After a long time, Xue Yiren still did not open his eyes. Everyone thought that Xue Yiren was still comprehending and did not bother him.

"Amitabha! Xue Yiren's benefactor has continued the path of swordsmanship and completed his practice. We should thank him for his noble righteousness." Zen Master Sanzang took a step forward and then bowed to Xue Yiren.

Hearing this, Ji Ran hurried forward to investigate.I found out that Xue Yiren really passed away like this.I couldn't help but think back to those three years when I had sword fights with Xue Yiren every day.

"Amitabha!" Ji Rang proclaimed the Buddha's name, then sat down cross-legged and began to recite the "Rebirth Mantra".

Seeing this, Xue Bin hurriedly ran up, knelt in front of Xue Yiren and began to kowtow.

Upon seeing this, Gao Yanan also began to organize Huashan disciples to help arrange Xue Yiren's funeral.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.The originally high-spirited martial arts discussion suddenly became a bit silent.Xue Yiren's departure made everyone see the way forward and feel sad at the same time.The best sword in the world just sat quietly on Mount Huashan.

Most of the older generation were sighing and sighing, but the new generation was excited and excited, except of course Xue Bin.

Seeing this situation, Ji Ran said: "Why don't this Huashan sword debate end like this! After all, everyone has gained a lot this time."

"How can that be done? Monk looks at the fist." Before Ji Ran could finish speaking, the air screamed, the void seemed to be trembling, the upper clouds on Chaoyang Peak dispersed, and the mighty fist shot straight into the sky.

This is Hu Tiehua's fist.

After the fierce force, Hu Tiehua flew gracefully like a butterfly through a flower, and was able to navigate the chaos of Ji Ran's fists, palms, fingers and legs with ease.It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hu Tiehua has the upper hand.

This move between the two people can be said to be extremely versatile.The shadows of fists and palms fluttered back and forth on the isolated peak, and each move contained extremely profound martial arts. Seeing the Golden Crow disappear and the Jade Rabbit ascend to the east, the two were still on the same level, and neither side was defeated.

At this moment, a long roar suddenly sounded from a distance, the sound was free and easy.Everyone turned around and saw that it was Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang was dressed in rags at this time. Although he was not as elegant as before, his eyes were full of light. In his eyes, everyone seemed to see the rotation of the four seasons and the passage of time.

Chu Liuxiang didn't say much and directly joined the battle between Hu Tiehua and Ji Ran.

The three of them fought incessantly, and Chu Liuxiang's fingering was like the alternation of four seasons, with endless life, among which summer was like fire and winter was like ice, which made Ji Ran and Hu Tiehua feel very uncomfortable.Hu Tiehua's fists are like the Yangtze River, the fist is surging, and it is like ice and snow, sharp and piercing.

As for Ji Ran, as a modern person, Ji Ran is good at summarizing, systematic learning and improvement, rather than creation and understanding.

So this time Huashan Lunjian actually gained the least for Ji Ran, because he, like Daoist Yucha and Taoist Shi, had almost no comprehension. He only gained a lot in combat experience and combat details.

He once thought about why he lost to Chu Liuxiang. It was because the weather was not in my favor, and the geography was not in my favor. In the end, he was dazzled by the newborn Chaoyang, and he lost Chu Liuxiang's trick.

But thinking about it carefully, Chu Liuxiang clearly made twelve moves in a row just one breath before Chu Yang. It was clearly Chu Liuxiang who forced herself to change positions.It was because his grasp of the weather and the timing of the battle was not as accurate as Chu Liuxiang's, which led to his defeat.

Within three hundred moves, Ji Ran was the first to break away from the battle circle.

But Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua were just like Ji Ran and Chu Liuxiang half a month ago. They fought from midnight to daytime, and from daytime to night. They fought for three days and three nights before stopping.

Three more days passed, after the two people had digested what they had gained.

Chu Liuxiang shared with everyone: "I received the guidance of Master Wuzhen and understood the principle of integrating the heaven and earth with the heart and integrating the heaven and earth with the spirit."

"Think of yourself as a grass, a tree, a fish, and a bird. Growing and living in nature, I am nature, and nature is me. Then I realized the four seasons, divided into four types: spring, summer, autumn, winter .As for its power, you have already seen it."

Hu Tiehua continued: "I was also inspired by those experiences and put my own will on my fists. My will is like a big river, and my fist strength is like the surging river water. My will is like the cold snow, and my fist strength is like the ice and snow. So I created Learned the river style and the ice style.”

Everyone was lost in thought. After a while, Ji Ran said: "The old bedbug replaces the heart of heaven with his own heart, while the old drunkard replaces the heart of heaven with his own heart."

Zen Master Sanzang also said: "Although the methods are different, the results are the same. They all create their own momentum within a certain range. The so-called using force to suppress others is nothing more than this."

In the following time, everyone talked about some of their perceptions of the situation and what they should pay attention to.

Another day passed like this, and seeing that it was getting late, the foolish tea master said: "If you have nothing else to do, I think this Huashan sword discussion should end here. There may be a heavy snow tomorrow."

Hearing this, everyone who participated in the Huashan sword debate felt a sense of loss.

This feeling is even stronger for Qin Ge, Hongye, Hua Feibai and others of the younger generation who participated in the Huashan sword debate.

Although this Huashan sword discussion has been going on for nearly forty days, there is still some unfinished content, but for them, it can be said to be of lifelong benefit, and they don’t know when they will be able to hear the teachings of these senior masters.

Seeing that the Huashan sword discussion has officially ended, some are still reminiscing about this event; some are thinking about the martial arts they heard; and some people are asking Ji Ran, Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua, etc. for advice on martial arts problems... For a time, everyone is enjoying themselves, and Easier than ever.

The next morning, Ji Ran asked Chu Liuxiang for advice on the Four Seasons Finger, and Chu Liuxiang was indeed generous and taught him one by one.

Seeing this, Hu Tiehua also exchanged some insights on boxing skills with Ji Ran, and both gained something.The two of them realized this by chance, all because of Ji Ran's advice.So he did not hesitate to repay Ji Ran.

In the afternoon, snow began to fall in Huashan Mountain and its surrounding areas.Seeing this, everyone greatly praised Master Yucha's vision and thought that he had chosen a good time.

In November, on the way back to Southern Shaolin, Ji Ran first sent Xue Bin back to Xuejia Village and stayed there for a few days to help Xue Bin scare some people with ulterior motives so that he could take charge of Xuejia Village.

At the same time, Ji Ran told Xue Bin not to practice the moves of the Three Swords in Blood Clothes before defeating Xiao Zhoutian. After defeating Xiao Zhoutian, he would come to him in person and she would teach him the sword skills of the Three Swords in Blood Clothes.

I just returned to South Shaolin at the end of the month.

The first thing he did when he came back was to tell Master Tianfeng about this trip to Huashan to discuss swordsmanship. Although Ji Ran didn't understand much, with the help of Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua and Xue Yiren, he improved his fingering, boxing and swordsmanship. All have made great progress.

After thoroughly digesting the gains from this trip, the three of them should be able to make further progress.Ji Ran was also sighing in her heart: She was just a middle-aged person, and there was nothing special about Blue Star in her previous life.

If there is another world that can be traversed, then using the wisdom of the favored son of heaven in each world to help strengthen one's own foundation is the correct way to open up the cultivation of the heavens and the world.

If the talents of the time travelers are transcendent, it is better to go to the top worlds such as the prehistoric world and cultivate slowly in one step.

Master Tianfeng fell asleep while listening to Ji Ran's story.

Ji Ran panicked when she saw this.

The old man's inner strength is profound, and he is so lethargic. It's probably because his soul is about to dry up and he no longer has any energy.

Ji Ran first tried to transfer some true energy to Master Tianfeng, but unfortunately it had no effect.I tried to make a prescription again, but after much deliberation, I couldn't find any solution.He had no choice but to help Master Tianfeng lie down and cover him with a quilt.

I left with a heavy heart.

In the next month, Master Tianfeng was still lethargic, and the time he was awake every day changed from three or four hours to one or two hours. Near the end of December, he was only awake for less than one hour every day.

Ji Ran stays in front of Master Tianfeng's bed every day and does not do anything else. When Master Tianfeng opens his eyes, the first one he sees must be Ji Ran.

On New Year's Eve, Master Tianfeng suddenly woke up at night, looked at Ji Ran energetically and said, "Idiot, why is this necessary!"

"Today is New Year's Eve. I remember that you make a table of delicious food every year at this time, and there is also a food called dumplings. You said it is called reunion dinner. What about tonight's reunion dinner?"

Ji Ran said happily: "Master, wake up. I'll get it done right now. I'll get it done right now. Please wait a moment."

Master Tianfeng nodded.

Ji Ran did not doubt that he was there, and hurried to the kitchen to do some work. The fire-headed monk in the kitchen knew that his abbot had the habit of eating dumplings on New Year's Eve. Although the abbot did not come this year, he still prepared all the necessary matters for the abbot.

Almost an hour later, Ji Ran walked into Master Tianfeng's meditation room with a lunch box.

The master and apprentice were still talking and laughing while eating the New Year's Eve dinner.But Ji Ran shed tears while eating. He knew that the master was coming back to his former glory.

As the New Year's bell rang in the temple, Master Tianfeng touched Ji Ran's head and said with a smile: "My child, don't cry. Today is the New Year, and happiness is the most important thing. Isn't this what you often tell me?"

Ji Ran forced a smile on his face, and told the story to Master Tianfeng again: "Master, do you know what a person's heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and brain are doing before he dies?"

"What are you doing?" Master Tianfeng asked gently like a grandfather coaxing a child.

Ji Ran held back tears and said: "The brain said, please report the current situation. The heart said [-]% of the function has been lost, the liver said [-]% of the function has been lost, the spleen said [-]% of the function has been lost, the lungs said [-]% of the function has been lost, the kidneys said [-]% of the function has been lost Ninety-nine percent lost..."

Master Tianfeng looked at the child in front of him, touched his head again, and said softly: "Happy New Year, child!" Then he closed his eyes.

Tears rolled in Ji Ran's eyes, and he still choked and said: "The brain asked how much adrenaline reserve is left. The adrenaline replied that there is only 5% left, and it cannot be produced again..."

At this time, Ji Ran was just telling stories mechanically, regardless of whether adrenaline or percentage would be heard by others, or whether they would be understood after hearing it.

He was still talking mechanically, and it seemed that as long as the story was not finished, Master Tianfeng was still listening: "The brain said that all adrenaline is allocated to the nervous system and vocal cord muscles. Master, do you know that the vocal cord muscles manage our speech."

He was still mumbling the story of "death": "The brain does this to convey this person's final message to the world to people outside."

"Then, the brain says, please prepare for shutdown. Shutdown means no longer thinking, no longer moving, no longer jumping."

"Finally, the brain said, thank you for your sincere cooperation over the past century, and we will never see you again."

No matter how long the story is, it has to be finished at some point, not to mention that this story is not long in the first place.When the story was finished, Master Tianfeng shed a tear from the corner of his eye, but Ji Ran didn't notice it.

Although the story was finished, Ji Ran still murmured, and it seemed that as long as he kept talking, Master Tianfeng would keep listening.

"Master, you know, in fact, I am not originally from this world. I come from a gentle and strong country, where people have enough to eat and wear, and children have books to read..."

Ji Ran suddenly became calm, then knelt down, kowtowed nine times to Master Tianfeng's golden body, and said, "Thank you for your 48 years of nurturing and care. Amitabha!"

The Southern Shaolin bells rang one hundred and eight times again, but this time the bells were of different lengths.This year, Ji Ran is 53 years old.

Seven days later, under the auspices of Ji Ran, the relics left behind by Master Tianfeng after his death were welcomed into the Southern Shaolin Tower.

After a busy day, Ji Ran came to Master Tianfeng's meditation room as a habit and told other monks not to come near.

A person walked in.Looking at the empty room, Ji Ran couldn't help crying.

After crying for a while, he murmured and sang: "I no longer look at the sun shining through the clouds in the sky, I no longer look for the promised heaven, I no longer lament the impermanence of things in the world as you said, and the three inches of sunlight that I can't borrow." ..."

In the following months, Ji Ran did not practice martial arts anymore. Instead, he went in and out of the Sutra Pavilion, copied a large number of sutras, and then asked Hongye to handle the affairs of the temple. Then he left alone and went to Jinling City.

Sanshan Street, the back hall of Tongrentang.Ji Ran is learning how to prepare medicine from the medicine boy in the hall.Processed medicines are divided into preparation, water-based, fire-based, broiled, blanched, simmered, simmered, and water-fired preparations. There are also other special methods, such as frosting, fermentation, etc.

Preparation includes three methods: purifying medicinal materials, crushing medicinal materials, and cutting medicinal materials.

Water treatment includes five methods: rinsing, soaking, moistening, spraying and water spraying.

There is only one method of fire cooking, which is stir-frying, but stir-frying is divided into four different heats: stir-frying, stir-frying, stir-frying, and stir-frying.

After finishing the medicine every day, Ji Ran didn't go back to Jiming Temple, but went to Zhang Jianzhai's house.Zhang Jianzhai fell ill recently, many of his disciples including Ji Ran were helpless to cure him.

On this day, Ji Ran came to Zhang Jianzhai's house. Before entering the house, she smelled the smell of burning mugwort.

Acupuncture in Chinese medicine actually refers to two things. Needles are acupuncture methods. Generally, silver needles are inserted into acupoints for treatment. In some special cases, gold needles are also used.Moxibustion refers to using lighted moxa to press on a specific part for fumigation.

The smell of mugwort came from the bedroom inside. When Ji Ran opened the door and entered, she heard Zhang Jianzhai's voice: "Little monk, come here and feel my pulse."

Ji Ran also knew medicine, and when he touched it, he froze there, and then he saw the sweat rolling off Zhang Jianzhai's body like oil.

Zhang Jianzhai smiled and told the disciples in the room: "Children, have you all felt clearly? This pulse is called Jue Mai. If you touch my sweat again, it is called Jue Khan. Jue sweat is like oil. Medical book What he said is absolutely correct."

"Once you have figured it out, you must keep it in mind and read more medical books in the future..."

After saying this, Zhang Jianzhai passed away with a smile on his face.

These were the last words Zhang Jianzhai left to his disciples, and also the last words a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner left to his successors. At the last moment of his life, Zhang Jianzhai was still using his own examples to teach his disciples.

After dealing with Zhang Jianzhai's death, Ji Ran still stayed in Tongrentang to make medicine.

Because he discovered that making medicine requires not only patience, but also care. If you don't pay attention, the heat will be over and the medicinal materials will be in vain.

Sometimes Ji Ran felt that when she crushed medicine with medicine, it was like crushing her messy thoughts together.When pounding medicine with stone toon, it seems to knock on the soul.

Finally, at the end of the year, Ji Ran received a letter from Luoyang. The sender was Wei Xiang, the commander of Luoyang. He wanted to invite Ji Ran to his house on the first day of the new year to perform Buddhist rituals to extend his life and pray for his family to eliminate disasters.

After Ji Ran received the letter, she thought about it for a while and decided to go there.But before leaving, he went back to South Shaolin.

On this day, Hongye saw Ji Ran coming back and said to him: "Uncle Master, Qin Ge sent you a personal letter from Jiang Manhong a few days ago. This disciple dare not read it without permission."

After reading the letter, Ji Ran narrowed his eyes, and already had some guesses in his heart: Jiang Manhong really persuaded Chu Liuxiang to establish the Meteor Pavilion, and it seemed that he planned to build the Meteor Pavilion in Luoyang.

Therefore, Wei Xiang of the Luoyang Order did not write to him sooner or later. However, the time of his letter was so close to that of Jiang Manhong. I am afraid that the two have already reached a cooperation.Then the attitude towards Wei Xiang needs to be carefully considered.

Ji Ran said to Hongye: "Read this letter. What do you think?"

Hongye knew that his uncle was giving him guidance.He took the letter with both hands and read it.After reading, Hongye thought for a moment and said, "Jiang Manhong probably wants to invite his uncle to be the elder of Meteor Pavilion, and at the same time use our Shaolin reputation to strengthen himself."

Ji Ran nodded, then shook her head and said, "You're right, but not entirely right."

"First of all, Jiang Manhong said that he has convinced the old bug, which requires a question mark. Whether he is convinced or not is not something Jiang Manhong has the final say in one sentence. This kind of critical information that can affect your decision must be obtained through credible channels. Confirm again."

After Hong Ye sorted out her thoughts, Ji Ran continued: "Secondly, if Jiang Manhong chooses Luoyang to be located, he will definitely have contact with the local government. Without the support of the government, this so-called balance between the court and the world will become a joke."

"The Luoyang county magistrate, you have seen it too. Why did you say Jiang Manhong wrote to me?"

At the same time, Ji Ran took out another letter from his pocket, handed it to Hongye and said, "You might as well read this letter too."

After Hongye read the two letters, he seemed to feel a pair of big hands grabbing at him, making him breathless.

"You go back and think about it today, and we will discuss this matter tomorrow. Also, remember not to just think about these trivial matters, and don't let your martial arts fall behind. I will also take the exam for you tomorrow." After Ji Ran said that, he went back to his room. .
