Xuan Sheng and other monks were surprised to see Xiao Yuanshan and his son, Murong Bo and his son, and Ling Muyun all in the pavilion, quietly listening to an old monk with a strange face.It must be known that with the identities of the five and their hostile positions, even the abbot of Shaolin Temple is not qualified to make them all quiet down and listen to each other. Who is this old monk and how can he have such ability?

However, these monks are all highly cultivated and wise men, although they were puzzled, they didn't step forward to disturb them, they just stood aside gently, ready to listen to what the old monk had to say.

Seeing the monks coming up, the old monk ignored them and continued, "If you practice the superior martial arts of our sect, such as Nianhuazhi, Duoluoyezhi, Prajna Palm, etc., if you don't use compassion and Buddhism to reconcile and resolve , the hostility will go deep into the viscera, deeper and deeper, and it is a hundred times more powerful than any external poison. But old laymen Murong and old layman Xiao just blindly practice those superior martial arts, and dismiss the Buddhist scriptures handed down from this temple. After such a long period of time, the hostility contained in these superior martial arts has quietly penetrated into the bodies of the two laymen, and it is difficult to dispel."

Xuan Sheng Xuan Mie and other monks are eminent monks of the Xuan family in Shaolin, and their cultivation in Buddhism, Dharma and martial arts is not shallow.After only listening to a few sentences, I felt that what the old monk said contained a lot of meaning, what the predecessors had never said, and there was an awe-inspiring meaning in my heart, and I couldn't help but praise: "Amitabha, so good, so good!"

The few monks couldn't help wondering secretly: "Looking at the attire of this old monk, he should be a serving monk in charge of chores in this monastery. How can he have such insight and cultivation?"

Although the serving monks are Shaolin monks, they only get ordained but do not worship teachers, do not teach martial arts, do not practice meditation, and are not listed in the seniority rankings of "xuan, wisdom, emptiness, and emptiness". Besides chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha, they only do some burning , Farming, sweeping, civil engineering and other rough work.Xuan Sheng and the others are all first-class eminent monks in the monastery, so it's not surprising that they don't know this monk, but I just heard that he speaks brilliantly and has excellent insight.They couldn't help being secretly surprised.

I heard the old monk continue to say: "My Shaolin Temple has been built for thousands of years. Throughout the ages, only Bodhidharma has mastered all kinds of martial arts. Since then, there has been an eminent monk who has mastered all kinds of martial arts. However, the classics of 72 unique skills have always been in this pavilion. , I can’t help my disciples to read it all the time, but only one person can achieve less than half of the achievement of Patriarch Bodhidharma, do you know why?”

Murong Bo said: "That's Baocha's own business. How do outsiders know?"

The old monk said: "Because of the 72 unique skills in this temple, each of them can hurt people's vitals and kill people. To resolve it. This truth is not well known to the monks in this temple. It is just that after a person has practiced four or five unique skills, his comprehension of Zen principles will naturally be hindered. In my Shaolin school, it is called "martial arts" Obstacles' is the same as the 'obstacles of knowledge and vision' of other sects.[

Buddhism is for saving lives, while martial arts is for killing, and the two run counter to each other.Mutual restraint.Only when the Dharma is higher and the thoughts of compassion are stronger, can the hostility contained in martial arts skills be restrained, and the kung fu can be practiced faster. However, eminent monks who have reached such a level in Dharma practice don't bother to learn all kinds of powerful skills. The way to kill. "

Xuan Mie nodded and said in admiration: "Master's insight is superb. After hearing what Master said, the poor monk suddenly understood."

The old monk hehe said: "Don't dare. If what I said is wrong, I hope everyone can give me advice."

The group of monks clasped together and said, "Master, please continue to explain the wonderful method."

The old monk said: "In this temple, there are naturally some people who are not good enough in Buddhism, but they want to force them to learn more of the superior martial arts, but if they continue to practice like this, they will either go crazy, or have internal injuries that are hard to heal. Master Xuancheng of this temple has a full body of martial arts. Extraordinary and refined. His predecessors and eminent monks all agreed that he was the No. 200 martial arts in the temple for 1 years. But suddenly, his tendons and veins were broken overnight, and he became a cripple. It was because he didn't understand this reason. He practiced magic skills..."

Xuan Sheng and the others suddenly knelt down and said, "Master, I wonder if you can save Senior Brother Xuan Cheng?"

It turns out that this Xuancheng was originally the No. 1 martial arts among the monks of Shaolin Xuanzi generation, Shaolin 72 unique skills, he is proficient in as many as thirteen disciplines, and he has practiced each discipline to the point of proficiency, compared to others who specialize in one discipline He is also much more sophisticated, known as the "Thirteen Absolute Divine Monks", his martial arts are so high, not only comparable to his peers, but also rare among the senior monks of the previous generation.Everyone in the whole temple believed that his future achievements would be boundless, even if he could be compared to the ancestors of his predecessors, it would not be impossible.

Unexpectedly, such a genius, in his forties, when he was in the prime of his life, went crazy overnight and became a useless person. The Shaolin Temple and the whole temple feel extremely regretful about it.That's not the case, the position of abbot of Shaolin Temple will most likely be inherited by Xuan Cheng, not Xuan Ci.

The sweeping old monk shook his head and said, "It's too late, we can't save it. When Master Xuancheng came to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to pick up martial arts classics, the old monk reminded him three times, but he was still obsessed. Breaking off, how can we continue? In fact, the five aggregates are all empty, the body is injured, and he can no longer practice martial arts. He practiced Buddhism diligently, and thus achieved enlightenment. It was a blessing in disguise. Master Xuan Cheng."

Xuan Sheng, Xuan Mie and others said in unison: "Yes, thank you for your enlightenment, Master."

At this time, Ling Muyun's eyes showed a slight hint of relief.Among the people present, except for the old monk who swept the floor, his martial arts practice was the highest, so he also had the deepest understanding of the old monk's words.

It turned out that although Ling Muyun knew that Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo had suffered serious hidden injuries because of practicing Shaolin's unique skills, Ling Muyun has always been quite puzzled as to why they ended up in such a state.After all, both of them are also great experts in martial arts, how could they practice injuries and disable themselves without knowing it?

However, after hearing what the sweeping monk said, Ling Muyun already understood the truth in his heart.

What the sweeping monk said is actually a bit mysterious. The Shaolin 72 unique skills are created for the purpose of defeating the enemy. They contain hostility, which must be resolved by intensive study of Buddhism, otherwise the hostility will enter the body and it will be difficult to save.If it is true according to what the sweeping monk said, then the other schools and sects of the martial arts do not practice Buddhism at all, but only practice martial arts for the purpose of injuring people and killing enemies.

If that's the case, before the death of Xiaoyao's three elders, their kung fu cultivation had reached the state of congenital mastery, all of them were higher than Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, why didn't you see them go crazy?How did the martial arts masters in history other than the Shaolin School come from? [

But it cannot be said that what the sweeping monk said is wrong, at least his theory makes sense when it corresponds to Shaolin martial arts.If one wants to practice Shaolin martial arts to a very high level, but does not have enough Dharma practice and compassion to match one's compassion, one must develop a "flaw" in one's practice.

According to Ling Muyun's understanding, this is actually a question of whether the unique knowledge of martial arts is commensurate with the mind "nature" of the practitioner.

But all martial arts, in fact, have their own unique artistic conception. If the practitioners can match this artistic conception, the progress of practicing martial arts will be greatly improved, and even make rapid progress. Otherwise, the progress will be slow or even stagnant.And the more advanced the martial arts, the more prominent this characteristic will be.

Because most of the unique martial arts of the Shaolin School were created by Bodhidharma, the purpose of creating these martial arts is to strengthen the body, spread the Dharma and subdue demons, and there are many Buddhist artistic conceptions in them. Therefore, when practicing these martial arts, also It is necessary to have a sufficient understanding of the Dharma passed down by Bodhidharma and a state of compassion.

Otherwise, it will conflict with the artistic conception contained in martial arts itself, and after a long time of practice, it will inevitably suffer the backlash of the kungfu itself, and the more advanced the martial arts is, the greater the backlash it will bear, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo This is the case.

Although the Shaolin school's unique martial arts practice is to subdue demons, its purpose is to spread the Dharma to save people and save all living beings.However, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo stole Shaolin's unique skills in order to defeat the enemy and kill people, which ran counter to the purpose of the martial arts handed down by the ancestor Bodhidharma. He practiced his unique skills forcibly, but he had already been injured by the inner backlash of these martial arts.

But if the two of them are not practicing Shaolin martial arts, but other martial arts that were created to protect themselves and kill the enemy, there will be no such problems.
