"Brother Xiaoyaozi, Master Xuancheng of our temple was so violent that he suffered from Buddhist martial arts. All his muscles and veins were severed overnight. Is there any hope of recovery?"
Also sensing Wu Yazi's treatment, the sweeping monk observed silently for a while, and then asked.
After staying in the Shaolin Temple for many years, he still has some feelings and wants to try to make up for the damaged reputation of the Shaolin Temple.
If Xuan Cheng, who was in his thirties and was recognized as the best martial artist in Shaolin in the past two hundred years, defeating the crazy monk of Yi Jin Jing and the twenty-three extraordinary monks, recovers, he will undoubtedly become the number one master besides them. , to revive the prestige of Shaolin Temple.
Moreover, Xuan Cheng himself had a profound enlightenment after becoming a cripple. He was definitely not comparable to a hypocritical abbot like Xuan Ci, and he could definitely serve as the "sweeping monk" of the next generation.
Thinking of this matter, Xuan Yin and Xuan Sheng immediately ran out in the rain, knelt down towards Xiaoyao Zi, and said, "Immortal chief, is there any way to save Senior Brother Xuancheng?"
Although his martial arts skills have been useless for more than thirty years, Xuancheng's talent and reputation in the past, as well as his Buddha's heart and nature after his enlightenment, made him the most respected monk in the Shaolin Temple, like many younger Xuan Cheng. The teachers of the same generation are average.
Considering that the fight just now destroyed many things in the temple, Xiaoyaozi was ready to make compensation, so he agreed to their request. While treating Wuyazi, he explained the principles and key changes to the sweeping monk.
With the astonishing cultivation level that Saodi Monk had achieved and the guidance on the transformation of form and energy, it was not that difficult to cure Xuan Cheng's injury.
Xue Muhua, Su Xinghe, who were highly accomplished in medical skills, and even Wu Yazi who was being treated could not help but be fascinated by what he was doing.
…
Not far away, listening to Xiaoyaozi's detailed explanation and verifying his original guesses, Zhao Qing suddenly had a realization, and used his Yin and Cold Qi to randomly absorb some falling raindrops, break them down and cool them down, Collected in the palm of your hand.
I saw tiny raindrops divided into thousands of parts suspended between her palms, slowly spinning, turning into a ball of white floc, light and elegant, misty, and dreamlike.
At first, they were just tiny ice crystals with the diameter of a human hair. Then, they became hexagonal sheets, which adhered to each other and fused. They quickly grew larger and appeared in branches, stars, needles, and flakes. shaped beautiful snowflakes.
Each snowflake is flying and swirling quietly, different and unique, forming an extremely exquisite picture.
Although some snowflakes have subtle asymmetrical defects, they are enough to move and marvel at the world's top painters.
After that, as Zhao Qing strictly controlled the low temperature emanating from the palm of his hand and kept the rotation and force of each snowflake basically the same, each of the newly generated crystal snowflakes became extremely similar, flawless, and almost They are exactly the same and cannot be distinguished by the naked eye.
In a certain aspect, such a delicate control technique is not at all inferior to Xiaoyaozi's action of mending the Taoist robe with the essence of heaven and earth just now. It has reached the pinnacle of subtlety and transcends the ordinary.
Using the mind as the tiny ice crystals before the snowflakes form, which is the initial core and embryo of the snowflakes, and using Qi as the supply of water vapor that adheres to the condensed water when the snowflakes are formed, providing "nourishment", and then changing them in a certain way, isn't that "form"? ", Qi, Shen", the transformation from Qi to form?
The first tiny ice crystals are regarded as the innate true self, and the grown but defective snowflakes are regarded as the acquired false self. Then, only by returning the acquired self to the original true self can the true perfection be condensed. , snowflakes without defects.
The so-called "sitting and forgetfulness" and "selflessness" are nothing more than getting rid of the false selves that obscure the true self, so that "I" can evolve towards a flawless state.
This is also the reason why "refining" in various kinds of cultivation is always combined with "forgetting". "Forgetting" is the step to remove defects and impurities.
It is precisely "people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature." The ultimate principles of worldly practice are often hidden in some seemingly inconspicuous natural things.
As Zhao Qing stopped radiating cold air, the snowflakes melted in her palms. At this moment, the world in her eyes and heart was no longer the same as before.
This is a state of being in harmony with heaven and earth, which allows Zhao Qing's spirit to vaguely feel the movement of heaven and earth, the changes in everything, the natural rise and fall of heaven, earth and the universe, and the ups and downs of the vast void.
If the "Wanxiang Haoxu Gong" allowed her to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to reach the state of unity between heaven and man, the new tenth level of Mingyu Gong allowed her body to reach a level that is close to the unity of heaven and man;
So, this time, the "god" outside of Qi and form is close to the true unity of heaven and man.
"Tao is nothingness, simplicity, tranquility, softness, purity and simplicity. These five are the image of Tao."
“No cravings and desires, the utmost emptiness, no likes and dislikes, the highest level of peace, one and the same, the highest level of tranquility, not mixed with things, the highest purity, no worries or joy, the highest level of virtue. "
"Five Symbols of Yin and Yang Transform into Gods", which she had not practiced for a long time, suddenly appeared in Zhao Qing's mind, and guided her to understand how to remove the impurities of her true self and her own way, which is to let the deepest part of her soul At this place, enter the ultimate state of "emptiness, peace, tranquility, purity and virtue";
Then through "stillness without moving, movement without transformation", in a state of coexistence of movement and stillness, the impurities are gradually separated and transformed in the direction of purity.
Having understood the essence of Xiaoyaozi's martial arts, Zhao Qing integrated many internal skills such as Kurong Zen Kung Fu, Shen Zhao Kung Fu, Wedding Clothes Magic Kung Fu, and Shen Zu Jing, and initially created a "Condensation Jade Technique".
This skill uses the meaning of silence to put the false self into a dormant state and reshape it into the innate true self, just like melting the outer layer of a defective "snowflake" into water and then condensing it to form a new one.
A more accurate metaphor can be said to be that a Tao seed is planted in the heart, and when it gradually grows and sprouts, absorbs nutrients, the flower buds differentiate, and finally bloom.
The day the flowers bloom is the time to see me.
Unknowingly, Zhao Qing has reached a state similar to that of the sweeping monk before his breakthrough: "The body is like a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. I always brush it diligently to prevent dust."
As long as you constantly wipe away the new impurities in your mind, you can maintain your true state of mind like a mirror, and thus have the ability to spiritually unite nature and man.
This state, in the words of Xiaoyaozi, is called "forgetting to see myself and returning to the true nature", which is the end of spiritual practice in the "returning to emptiness" stage.
In addition, to this extent, she can also discern the strict natural structure, various rhythms and functions from the indescribable order in the body.
In this way, we can regain our autonomy and self, complete the "return to the true nature", truly control various physiological abilities in the human body, and develop a more essential understanding of "form".
…
After initially completing Wu Yazi's treatment, Xiaoyao Zi sensed the pure and real feeling around Zhao Qing. He couldn't help but turn his head and immediately opened his eyes.
It stands to reason that in his current state of mind, which is almost "one heart with the sky and one body with the Tao", even if Mount Tai suddenly collapses in front of his eyes, his expression will not change in the slightest.
But seeing this scene in front of him, Xiaoyaozi could not hide his surprise, even though he had just achieved a spiritual achievement that shocked the past and present, just like the sweeping monk who had tears in his eyes when he saw a higher realm.
The collapse of Mount Tai and the diversion of the Yellow River, even though they are terrible and lamentable, are just natural phenomena that are still under the control of heaven. Only strange phenomena involving both heaven and practice can lead to such a path. The thoughts of a very strong-minded person suddenly change.
The changes in heaven, earth, yin and yang can be measured and even predicted, but only the inner thoughts of people cannot be measured.
With an incomparably small human heart, one can glimpse and embrace the vast and infinite way of heaven. Such a feat, which can only occur because of the way of spiritual practice, is really the most touching thing in the world.
Xiaoyaozi never expected that he would tell him some of the essentials of "returning emptiness" and "refining emptiness" before and after the fight. Only a moment later, Zhao Qing surpassed what he had spent in a strange and incomparable way. The stage of several decades reaches the end of "return to emptiness".
If she hadn't already had a glimpse of the realm of "tao" and could vaguely sense the "tao" realized by others, she wouldn't have been able to discover her miraculous progress in practice.
With such a terrifying talent, even if Zhao Qing catches up with his hundreds of years of practice in the "Void Refining" stage in a year and a half, he will not be able to shock himself again.
Xiaoyaozi sighed several times in his heart, but he did not feel jealous because of this. Instead, he deeply understood the changeable nature of Tao and was delighted with Zhao Qing's rapid progress.
…
Following Xiaoyaozi's previous technique, he used his true energy to weave silk threads and temporarily mended the sleeves that were destroyed during the fight. Zhao Qing walked towards the direction of Qiao Feng, Xiao Yuanshan and others, preparing to deal with the matters left over from before.
At this time, Qiao Feng had unlocked the acupoints of everyone in the Murong family and decided to let them go.
Inspired by Master Zhiguang's thought that "Khitan and Han people should be treated equally", these members of the Murong family who were unaware of the events of that year could no longer arouse his desire for revenge.
As for Xiao Yuanshan, he has been trapped in hatred for thirty years. Today, his great revenge has been avenged. His mind seems to have been liberated and he has returned to his good nature in the past. He does not want to kill everyone.
Except for Murong Fu who lost his courage, the four ministers of Gusu Murong, as well as A'Zhu and A Bi, all went to collect Murong Bo's body that was torn in half and soaked in the rain for a long time with sad faces.
Seeing Zhao Qing coming this way, Bao BuTong could not help but be startled, and recalled the original torture again, but the sense of responsibility for the Murong family in his heart made him decisively move his body to block Murong Fu's body. forward.
According to what Zhao Qing said a month ago in Xingzi Forest, she will come to unlock Murong Fu's blocked inner power. However, the reason why Qiao Feng spared Murong Fu's life was precisely because he did not want to attack someone who had no inner strength.
Obviously, in the eyes of Bao BuTong and others, allowing Zhao Qing to unlock Murong Fu's inner power at this time would greatly increase the risk of him being harmed by the Xiaos and his son.
"Immortal, these days, I often feel that after my martial arts disappear, I can appreciate the beauty of ordinary people's lives more..."
"In the past twenty years or so, the boy has been obsessed with practicing martial arts. He only wants to become famous in the world. In fact, he has deviated from the ideal of life of 'not wanting fame and fortune'..."
In order to avoid danger after recovering his martial arts, Murong Fu immediately racked his brains and made up all kinds of excuses for his unwillingness, expressing that he preferred ordinary life.
After encountering many major setbacks one after another, he understood that with his Xianbei identity being exposed, the possibility of returning to the country was almost impossible. In addition, he received Zhao Qing's spiritual suggestion. Murong Fu, who was originally quite proud, suddenly changed his mind. The great changes caused many of the natures that had been suppressed in the past to return and take over.
Sensing the sharp change in the other person's mood and even personality, Zhao Qing was thoughtful, and his understanding of the "false self" and "true self" naturally deepened.
"Are you sure you don't want to restore your internal strength?" She looked at the flustered and calm "Nan Murong" with a half-smile, and said leisurely.
"No more! No more!" Unintentionally catching a glimpse of Qiao Feng's gaze, Murong Fu felt a chill in his heart. He was afraid that the other party would harm him, so he quickly added some additional conditions, looked around at the people around him and said:
"These people are the retainers of my Murong family in Gusu. They swore to my father many years ago that they are determined to work hard throughout their lives to assist me in reviving Dayan and making the name of the Murong family prosperous."
"Today, in order to show that I have no intention of relearning martial arts and my determination to restore my country, I will expel these four loyal retainers immediately."
Having said this, he turned to look at Deng Baichuan who had just packed up Murong Bo's body, hoping that he would take the lead in leaving temporarily and return later to avoid this disaster.
"No need. The reputation of the Murong family has long been ruined by your past words and deeds. There is no need to be so pretentious."
】
Zhao Qing shook his head and caught a glimpse of Murong Fu's complexion of green and white. Under his trembling eyes, he spoke calmly in another direction: "A'Zhu, A Bi! Are you willing to leave the Murong family, as Su Xinghe said before? Generally, join the Xiaoyao Sect?"
Before A'Zhu and A Bi could reply, Murong Fu quickly responded and forced them to leave Gusu Murong.
Seeing Murong Fu's understanding, Zhao Qing complied with his wish and casually strengthened the internal power blockade for him so that it could not be unlocked for the rest of his life.
As for A'Zhu and A Bi, it is really not a good thing for them to be tied to Murong Fu whose temperament has changed drastically. It is better to leave early and find their own wonderful life.
I don’t know, under the current circumstances, will A’Zhu and Qiao Feng still be together?
…
After communicating with Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan for a while, I learned that after avenging their great revenge, they decided to go to Yanmen Pass to worship first, and then consider other things after returning.
In order to repay Qiao Sanhuai and his wife for their nurturing kindness over the years, according to Qiao Feng, he decided to use the name "Qiao Feng" when he was in the Shaoshi Mountain area, and changed back to his real name in other places "Xiao Feng".
As if he thought of something, Zhao Qing swayed and came to a dozen old monks who were surrounding Xuanci's body and chanting salvation scriptures. He said calmly:
"After Xuanci's death, who are you going to choose as the next abbot of Shaolin Temple? Let me tell you, Qiao Feng's master, Master Xuanku, has a profound Buddha nature. Although his name is 'Xuanku', he was the first to discover the 'Eight Sufferings of Life' '..."
Hearing the advice from the peerless expert who was almost like a god, these usually revered monks of the Xuan generation had bitter expressions on their faces and looked at each other several times. Only then did an old monk, Xuan Du, step forward. He opened his mouth and replied:
"This donor, we can still discuss this matter..."
…
In this way, today's conference in Shaolin Temple came to an end, and the world returned to peace for the time being.
