Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 296 Suspension Wire Diagnosis
Although Master Ziyang could see that Ren Qinglian was plagued by bad luck, he also had no way to help him resolve the influence of this omen of disaster.Ren Qinglian didn't give much hope at first, and didn't care.

However, since he mentioned the part of the power of merit in his body, he asked along the way: "In addition to helping cultivation, can this merit also improve luck?"

"Using the power of merit to improve one's cultivation?" Master Ziyang rolled his eyes, "That's really reckless!"

Ren Qinglian sneered, as if humbly asking for advice.

Master Ziyang has the heart to befriend Ren Qinglian, and these are not ulterior secrets, he said with a smile: "The power of merit can indeed be used to improve one's cultivation and break through shackles, but to do this, one needs a lot of merit. The power is extremely massive, how many people in the Three Realms can do it..."

It is not that there is no precedent in the Three Realms of using the power of merit to break through the cultivation base. In fact, those saints who were able to prove the Hunyuan were all related to the power of merit and luck. One has gained the merit of teaching and enlightening all living beings; Nuwa created man with immeasurable merit; the two sages of the West made great vows to save all beings and gained massive merit after being recognized by the Dao of Heaven.

But there are countless merits that can be obtained in this world. Up to now, even such trivial merits in Journey to the West, everyone has to work hard to get a little bit, which is used to improve strength, but it is a bit reckless.

Master Ziyang said, with a sigh on his face: "For monks of my generation, it is almost impossible to use merit to break through the cultivation base, but to use the power of merit to overcome three disasters and five calamities, it is possible to work hard. !"

There was a small incense burner in front of him, and the incense smoke was lingering in the burner. Wisps of smoke fluttered and gradually dispersed into the air. Sitting opposite him, this old Taoist was filled with immortal energy, which made Ren Qinglian feel dazed.

"What does the real person mean, that you can use the power of merit to avoid disaster?"

Master Ziyang stroked his beard and nodded: "For many casual cultivators, the three disasters and five calamities are the real obstacles on the road of cultivation."

Ren Qinglian was thoughtful, the foundation of casual cultivators was weak, and without the support of the elders of the teacher's school, it was indeed a difficult problem to survive the three disasters and five calamities safely, but thinking about people like Master Ziyang who have entered the fairyland, or who are powerful in the teacher's school It is said that there is no difficulty at all to survive the three disasters and five calamities.

Master Ziyang seemed to see his doubts, and said again: "Of course, it is not difficult to overcome the three disasters and five calamities if you work hard. The real danger is the so-called heaven and earth catastrophe. The kalpa never appeared again, but there are more and more small kalpas. Even if you don’t cause trouble, when the kalpas arise, the heavenly law will attract opponents for you, and you cannot hide from them... However, if you have enough merit to protect Body, when calamity arises, it is equivalent to having a layer of protection, as long as you don't cause trouble, it is still possible to avoid it!"

"So that's how it is!" Ren Qinglian came to a sudden realization, knowing that the reason why Master Ziyang intervened in the study of scriptures was also to gain some merit, so as to avoid catastrophe and come to her door.

Master Ziyang said again: "However, most of the time, if you don't cause trouble, the trouble will come to you on your own initiative. During the period of conferring gods, many people were also protected by virtue, but then they were all schemed against. The merit was destroyed by someone, and it was doomed! Therefore, even Yun Zhongzi, the most famous immortal of merit, has always been cautious, for fear of offending some powerful figure and being broken by someone. As a result, the body will die!"

Ren Qinglian couldn't help feeling emotional: "Immortal Dao is happy, I didn't expect to live with such fear!"

Master Ziyang sighed: "That's why there are so many people who choose to hide from the world after accumulating a certain amount of merit, and never care about world affairs again!"

Ren Qinglian's eyes lit up. There are many people who have achieved the Tao in the legends of the human race. Could it be that they all chose to hide from the world after accumulating a certain amount of merit, as the real Ziyang said? !

In fact, this is true. During the Spring and Autumn Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, and human sages emerged in large numbers. The massive merits and virtues were enough to create a master of Taoism, but these schools of thought disappeared in the long river of time like ordinary people. In fact, it was because of that man. She chose to hide from the world, and took the initiative to fade out of people's sight.Although Master Ziyang has entered the immortality and became a scattered official of the Heavenly Court, in essence, he does not agree with the Heavenly Court, Taoism, or Buddhism. His greatest pursuit is to be like those sages and sages. After the meritorious deeds, he chose to retreat bravely and live a life of leisure in the world.

……

While speaking, Zhu Ziguo's ministers of civil and military affairs all gathered in the guild hall, and with the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, invited the monkey to go to treat the sick and save the sick.

The monkey was naturally a little elated when everyone made such a big gift, Zhu Gangli couldn't see the monkey being so domineering, and said sarcastic words from the side: "Brother, you are so arrogant, so many officials worship, and they don't even return the gift!"

But he didn't know that it was Zhou Yu who beat Huang Gai and was willing to beat Huang Gai. Before the monkey opened his mouth, a minister said the king's words, "I also ask Elder Sun to come with me to treat illnesses in the palace!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" The monkey playfully begged one of the officials for an official uniform of Zhu Ziguo to wear on his body, and then he was about to follow the crowd into the palace to face the saint.

Zhu Gangli already knew that the king had a heart disease. Since the monkey dared to reveal the list, it naturally had a countermeasure. It would be inevitable to have some entertainment, and wanted to follow in, but he couldn't bear to beg the monkey, so he said: "Monkey Brother, you won’t be able to save people by then, so don’t drag me and Junior Brother Sha out!”

The monkey is straight, and it's okay if the pig just doesn't say it, but this remark reminded him, and he said with a smile: "I want you two to collect the medicine with me."

Sha Wujing saw the opportunity to earn some merits, so he licked his face and said with a smile: "Brother, what medicine do you take?"

The monkey had a plan long ago. Although the king is not sick, he still has to pretend, "Someone will deliver the medicine at that time, and you can help me to accept it..."

With that said, a group of people have arrived at the palace.

"See Your Majesty!" The officials bowed, but the three monkeys looked around at the layout of the palace, making comments.

The king had been ill for a long time, and his eyes were not working well, so he stared at three monks who were tall, fat or thin, and asked, "Which one of you is the doctor Sun?"

When the monkey heard him being called, he jumped up to the king and said with a smile, "It's my grandson!"

The king saw the appearance of the monkey clearly, rolled his eyes in horror, and passed out.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were in a panic, and Xuanzang, who was sitting not far from the king, was also frightened to death. He walked up to him in two or three steps, and blamed him: "Wukong, stop messing around! When did you learn how to heal people..."

"Master, don't worry!" Although the monkey really doesn't know how to cure diseases and save people, he can't see Xuanzang underestimating himself, "My old grandson has a lot of skills."

Xuanzang hesitated to speak, he wanted to tell the monkey that he suspected that the king had the goodness of Longyang, but he felt that it would be a shame for a monk to say such a thing.

At this moment, Zhu Ziguo's imperial physicians had already rescued the king, but the king was frightened by the monkey's face, and dared not to treat this Elder Sun who looked no better than Sai Taisui .

Xuanzang wished he could leave this eerie and eerie palace right away, let the imperial doctor bring a message to the king to incriminate him, and asked for the customs clearance document, so he wanted to leave.

But Monkey looked at the old monk suspiciously: "Master, didn't you often teach us that 'saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda', why did you die today!"

Xuanzang was still hesitant to speak, but the monkey turned his head to the imperial physician and said with a smile, "Why is this so difficult, my old grandson can still diagnose the pulse with a silk thread."

"Diagnosing the pulse with a silk thread?" The imperial doctor has lived a long time, and he is conceited that he has been immersed in medical skills for half his life, and has extraordinary knowledge, and he has never heard of this kind of diagnosis method.

After the monkey finished speaking, he had pulled out a few monkey hairs from his body, which turned into a few silk threads between the flickering and flickering changes, and continued to extend, handed one end to the imperial physician, and said with a smile: "The queen who teaches the inner concubine, or the eunuch who is close to the eunuch , tie the silk thread under the king's left wrist, and put it on the three parts according to the inch and the ruler, and then pass the end of the thread through the window lattice to me..."

　I wish every mother a happy holiday and always be safe and happy!
