Since the last "break" between master and apprentice due to sword training, Cao Qiong and Lu Huaiyuan have not spoken a word for a whole month. Lu Huaiyuan still followed the steps, tempered his body, and began to move forward consciously, improving himself in his own way, and at the same time making concessions in disguise. Mei Shuyan saw it in her eyes and felt anxious in her heart, but both the master and the disciple were extremely stubborn and didn't know how to persuade them.
After all, Lu Huaiyuan has a young mind. After so many days, he has long recognized his mistakes, but he is unwilling to take the initiative to surrender to Cao Qiong, so he can only find Mei Shuyan privately and ask her to mediate.
When Mei Shuyan saw Lu Huaiyuan, she became furious and said angrily: "You brat, you know you've made a big mistake!"
Lu Huaiyuan stuck out his tongue, rested his head on Mei Shuyan's lap, and said coquettishly: "Isn't it just that I don't practice swords? With Yuan'er's talent, no matter what weapon he practices, he will be able to become famous! "
Regarding Lu Huaiyuan's rogue behavior, Mei Shuyan was helpless. She flicked her finger to the latter's forehead and said: "You don't want to practice swordsmanship. It's not wrong. But if you don't want Cao Qiong to teach you to practice swordsmanship, it's a big deal." .”
Lu Huaiyuan didn't know what he meant and asked, "Mother-in-law, how do you say this?"
Mei Shuyan stabbed Lu Huaiyuan's forehead with her finger and sighed: "In today's world, there are many people who use swords, hoping to get some advice from Cao Qiong. It would be better for you. Cao Qiong wants to teach you but you don't want to learn. You just missed a huge opportunity!"
Lu Huaiyuan got up and said in surprise: "Mother-in-law, is she serious? Is my master really that powerful?"
Mei Shuyan couldn't laugh or cry: "Not only is he awesome, there are thousands of swordsmen in the world. Cao Qiong is at the pinnacle of the world in terms of swordsmanship and swordsmanship. No one can surpass him. Even if he goes forward for another five hundred years, he can still be at the top." The top three. Now that I have entered the realm of gods and humans, I have just yet to fight against the No. 1 Monk Kongshan in the world. Who is stronger or weaker is still unknown. Mr. Lu, do you know that you regret it now? "
Lu Huaiyuan was secretly speechless. He originally thought that Cao Qiong was just an old swordsman with no ambitions. Otherwise, he would have left Sword God Mountain long ago and gone out to make a name for himself. How could he still stay and dominate this three-acre land? He never thought, His master is the first person in the world to use a sword. But he had a stubborn temper. Even so, he still refused to bow his head and surrendered. He said with a smile: "It's not too regretful. Even if you don't practice swordsmanship, Yuan'er can still become the best in the world."
Mei Shuyan snorted coldly: "The old stubborn donkey and the young stubborn donkey are really carved from the same mold!"

In Liang Guo Yunyin Temple, several years have passed. The already old monk Kongshan has become older and older, and Liu Gongyang has also grown from a child to a young man.
But it was said that Liu Gongyang was extremely intelligent. He was only six years old when he entered the temple. In just one year, he read all the Buddhist scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion of Yunyin Temple. Later, the holy monk of Kongshan wanted to teach him martial arts. Liu Gongyang did not hesitate at all and chose He has mastered Bodhidharma, the most difficult practice in Buddhist martial arts.
It is said that Patriarch Bodhidharma once faced the wall for nine years, practicing emptiness and Taoism, in order to practice superior Buddhism. Many disciples of the Buddhist sect in later generations also wanted to imitate Patriarch Bodhidharma and hone their minds through "watching on the wall", but few succeeded. There are not many. Therefore, in addition to the great perseverance of the practitioner, the cultivation method also requires the understanding of its true meaning. The so-called "Let go of the false and return to the true, stand on the wall and observe, without self or other, ordinary saints and others can stand firm and unwavering." "Teaching others" can lead to the "Tao Ming Fu, silence and inaction", thereby reaching the state of "Nirvana" mentioned in Buddhism.
At the beginning, most of the monks in the temple were opposed to Liu Gongyang's decision. After all, it is extremely difficult to practice Bodhidharma. If you are not careful, there is a risk of going crazy. Almost all the monks in the temple are not optimistic that a seven-year-old child can persevere. After all, in the world Rumor has it that this technique has only been mastered by the holy monk Kongshan in the past five hundred years.
In the end, the monk Kongshan's words, "Everything goes as you wish," dispelled all the monks' worries. Now seven years have passed, Liu Gongyang is still sitting in meditation in front of the stone wall, showing no signs of becoming obsessed, and no one knows how much he has understood.
There are only a few people in Yunyin Temple. The oldest generation in the temple only has one monk, Kongshan, who is over 100 years old. In the second generation, in addition to Liu Gongyang, there are four eminent monks of the Jingzi generation who preside over the overall situation.
On this day, Senior Brother Jing Zi calmly came to the residence of the holy monk Kongshan on the mountain behind the temple and knocked on the door. The latter was meditating in front of the hall. Jingxin opened the door, clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice, "I've met my uncle."
The Holy Monk of Kongshan slowly opened his eyes. It was hard to imagine that the eyes of this No. 1 disciple in the world were cloudy, without a trace of energy. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Jingxin is here. How is your little junior brother practicing now?"
As the second generation elder brother of Yunyin Temple, Jingxin’s cultivation is unfathomable. In Yunyin Temple, he is second only to Kongshan. He is not famous just because he is from outside. Among the top five in the Liang Kingdom, Kongshan even said with a smile that Jingxin can be equal to Li Xian! Ever since Liu Gongyang started practicing Bodhidharma, Jingxin would secretly observe him every day. On the one hand, he wanted to prevent Liu Gongyang from going too far and stop him in time. On the other hand, he also received instructions from his uncle to find out the progress of Liu Gongyang's practice. He would think about it every ten days. The holy monk of Kongshan reported once. He has a very high level of meditation practice and naturally has good eyesight. Hearing the question from his uncle, he respectfully replied: "Returning to my uncle, my little junior brother spends all day watching the wall in front of the stone. His mind has been polished to perfection, regardless of his Buddha nature or his cultivation level." The realm is also rising steadily, and I believe that once the nine-year period comes, the miraculous achievements will be achieved, and by then there will be another accomplished monk in our Yunyin Temple."
Rao Shikongshan was well-informed and valued Liu Gongyang very much, so he was quite surprised by this: "Lao Na originally thought that this son has a strong personality and that the Damo Kung Fu cannot be practiced by ordinary people. At most, he can persist for five or six years." I would give up if I couldn't endure the hardship, but I never thought that I would be wrong this time."
Jingxin smiled and said, "Congratulations to our junior uncle on having a successor. Our Yunyin Temple will definitely be able to flourish in the hands of our junior junior brother."
Monk Kongshan nodded and said: "It's too early to make a conclusion now. I hope this son can be devoted to good deeds and never go astray."

In front of a stone wall in Yunyin Temple, a young man with black hair was meditating facing the wall. The reason why I chose Bodhidharma, which is the most arduous training, was because the young man had an unknown talent, which was a photographic memory. In just one year, Liu Gongyang has read all the Buddhist scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion, but he only has a partial understanding of the true meaning. He is also naturally withdrawn. He seems to be kind to others, but in fact he is wary of everyone. This was even more true after the disaster, and it was even true for Kongshan Monk, the nominal master. Liu Gongyang never regarded him as a close relative who could be relied on. At a young age, he had already isolated himself from the world. , Do not believe in heaven, do not believe in earth, do not believe in others, only believe in yourself. Therefore, if you want to understand the true meaning of Buddhist scriptures and learn superior martial arts as soon as possible, you can only rely on your own understanding.
Bodhidharma requires facing the wall for nine years. For Liu Gongyang, it is the best opportunity to be alone. What's more important is that a tragic change occurred in his family. Liu Gongyang, who had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, had his family destroyed overnight and became an orphan. The young man's heart was full of hatred! It's just that Liu Gongyang was hidden so deeply that even the holy monk of Kongshan, who had visited countless people, never noticed the clues. Bodhidharma exercises are the best way to train the human mind and suppress the overwhelming hatred in a young man's heart, preventing him from becoming possessed and falling into the devil's path.
"It's so beautiful!"
In front of the stone wall, Liu Gongyang slowly opened his arms, as if unfolding a magnificent picture.
