About seven days later, at the west end of Jing Nian Zen Temple, where pines and cypresses were green and rugged, there was an inscription on a

The "Abbott Courtyard" is a majestic hall with seven rooms in width and nine ridges on the top of the mountain. It is built on the edge of the cliff. The situation is extremely dangerous.

In the second atrium of the abbot's courtyard, Luokong Jiejia, who was dressed in gray monk's robes, sat down, staring closely at a stack of Taoist scriptures in front of him that had a completely different temperament from this place. He sighed softly and opened the book with a slight frown. The first page of a volume.

Not far away in the hall, Zhao Qing glanced at the eminent monk who was working hard to learn Taoism. He waved his hand, causing dozens of Buddhist scriptures spread out around him to instantly close up and fly up together, stacked on top of each other. Xuanzang, who was standing on top, took it in his hand and looked through the key points marked in it.

On a wooden table placed in the center of the hall, the Heshi Bi continued to emit a faint light, and under the guidance of some unimaginable power, it focused on the direction of Zhao Qing and Xuanzang. , but it does not cause any adverse effects that interfere with people's spirit and internal strength, and appears stable and peaceful.

A few days ago, with Zhao Qing's permission, Fan Qinghui followed Ning Daoqi and left the Jingnian Monastery in despair, preparing to return to Cihang Jingzhai. As the master of Jingzhai, she invited the seven great masters of Buddhism and Taoism. Three months later, they gathered in the Zen Temple to hold a battle on Taoism that would affect the future of Buddhism.

Although he did not have the guts to confront Zhao Qing head-on again, Jingzhai has been the holy land of Baidao martial arts in the world since its establishment. It is impossible to surrender to others just because of the failure of Fan Qinghui as the first Zhaizhai master.

Unlike Cihang Jingzhai, which is located deep in the mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and almost no one knows its exact location, Jingnian Zen Temple is quite flexible since it can build a temple on the outskirts of Luoyang and survive for several dynasties. The spirit is not that of devoting one’s life to Buddhism.

"Responsibility". After the entire Zen monastery was completely defeated by Zhao Qing alone, Liao Kong knew that there was no possibility of doing anything to her now, and because the flaw in his soul was buried, he chose to give up resistance and hide the "Jing Nian" in the secret room of the abbot's courtyard. "Zen Book" was handed over.

At the same time, he ordered the monks in the monastery to treat Zhao Qing as usual no matter what they saw doing in the temple, chanting sutras, worshiping Buddha, and practicing Zen and martial arts. However, at her request, there was one more thing. Study the Taoist classics.

Zhao Qing has no intention of depriving monks who truly believe in Buddhism and have a certain level of Buddhist practice. The most disgusting thing about Buddhism is that it is full of good and bad, mixed with a lot of bad deeds. , fake monks who become monks only to earn money from taxes; however, in her opinion, by increasing screening efforts, excluding fake monks and people with little wisdom from the monks, canceling the preferential policies for these people, and only retaining them has no practical significance of

The title of "lay Buddhist" can basically solve the problems of Buddhism. Under normal circumstances, if you want to become a monk in ancient times, you actually need to go through a strict assessment. You have to read the Four Books and Five Classics, take the exam held by the government, memorize and interpret the scriptures, and only after passing all can you be officially awarded the ultimatum. The difficulty is actually quite high. Thus the number of monks was strictly controlled.

For example, a year and a half ago, Chen Yi stood out among the adults in the monk selection examination in Luoyang, which had only fourteen places for monks. He was chosen by the examiner, Zheng Shanguo, the minister of Dali Temple.

When Zheng Shanguo asked him why he wanted to become a monk at such a young age, Chen Yi replied: "I want to teach the Tathagata far away and leave the Dharma to the near light." This sentence means: "I want to inherit the Tathagata's mantle and carry it forward."

Zheng Shanguo saw that although he was young, he had great ambitions. Not only did he admit him exceptionally, he also gave him a good name - Xuanzang.

Entering Buddhism is called

"Xuan", the horse that runs a thousand miles is called

"Zang", Xuanzang means the Buddhist thousand-mile horse. Nowadays, Buddhism is very powerful and there are hundreds of thousands of monks. This is entirely due to the great efforts of Yang Jian, a believer in Buddhism, to establish Buddhism.

"Edicts to the world, allowing monks to become monks", liberalizing the restrictions on becoming a monk, frantically building Buddhist temples and pagodas, suppressing Confucianism, abolishing central and local schools, and allowing the status and influence of Buddhism to fully surpass all schools.

During the Yang Guang period, although they also supported Buddhism, carving and repairing Buddhist statues in large numbers, decorating and writing Buddhist scriptures, due to the large-scale construction projects and the three conquests of Goryeo, which required the recruitment of military service and corvee, restrictive measures were again adopted for monks. The degree of strictness was Far more than ten times more than Yang Jian, a unified examination was organized and a large number of unscrupulous monks were ordered to return to secular life.

The prosperous architecture of Jing Nian Chan Yuan is actually the result of two generations, Yang Jian and Yang Guang, using a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to purchase Buddhist scripture manuscripts and translations from the famous Buddhist temple in Chan Yuan.

However, although Yang Guang was ordained by Master Zhizhi of the Tiantai Sect and treated Master Jiaxiang of the Sanlunzong with courtesy, in the turbulent and troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty, Buddhism has decisively made a break with the Sui Dynasty. The idea of ​​changing the emperor is also sad.

It is worth mentioning that two years ago, in the ninth year of Daye, Yang Guang ordered that all temples in the world be renamed Taoist temples in order to unify the names of temples across the country.

Therefore, if Zhao Qing wants to change Jingzhai and Zenyuan into

"Daozong" can be regarded as having theoretical support and limited opposition. After hearing this, Ning Daoqi felt that there was no possibility of success.

While she was temporarily stationed in Jing Nian Zen Monastery, Liao Kong reluctantly began to practice Buddhism and Taoism, studying Taoist classics as a demonstration for the monks in the Zen Monastery; while Zhao Qing himself was reading the numbers of Jing Nian Monastery. The Buddhist and martial arts classics accumulated over the past hundred years were selected and highlighted, and Xuanzang, who joined her sect, could learn by himself.

Due to the deep foundation of the Zen monastery, the number of classics collected far exceeds that of Laojun Guan, a Taoist sect. In addition, Zhao Qing's mastery of Buddhist theory is not as good as that of Taoism. Even though she has many thoughts, she can't read and understand. The speed was extremely fast, and it took seven days and seven nights to study.

After all, Jing Nian Zen Temple has had more than ten generations of abbots since it was founded by Tian Monk. Although there are only a few great masters, there have been nearly a hundred masters, each with their own unique ideas. They can be regarded as first-class Buddhist martial arts. Countless; if it weren’t for Zhao Qing’s mental cultivation,

The pinnacle below the "no degree" level, proficient in martial arts simulation

"Wanxiang Haoxu Gong" and the great achievement of Buddhism's internal strength

It is also difficult to master the "Arhat Subduing Demon Technique" in a short period of time and complete the first eleven chapters of the twelve-chapter "Jing Nian Zen Book".

Speaking of which, Jing Nian Zen Monastery has conducted quite in-depth research on the mind, and focuses on the integration of mind and Buddha nature. The most profound one in "Jing Nian Zen Book"

Majoring in "Non-Thinking Zen"

"Buddha's Heart" has the effect of being similar to the soul, and is the same as what was cultivated in "Cihang Sword Code".

"Fairy fetus" has different approaches but the same purpose;

"All thoughts turn into one thought, and one thought turns into no thoughts" is the fundamental purpose to purify all distracting thoughts in the heart, thereby manifesting one's own Buddha nature and uncovering the mystery of the true nature.

After absorbing a lot of martial arts from the Zen Academy and what Fan Qinghui revealed,

After gathering some of the essence of "The Sword Art of the Other Shore", Zhao Qing gradually integrated the profound Buddhist martial arts such as "Yi Jin Jing", "Shen Zu Jing", "Arhat Subduing Demon Technique", "Supreme Yoga Tantra" and "Jing Nian Zen Book" One body; taking the Arhat Subduing Demon Kung Fu, which is most similar to Taoism and equivalent to the Buddhist version of Xiao Wu Xiang Kung, as the starting point, it was connected to the improved version of Ming Yu Kung and Xiaoyao Yufeng that she is currently majoring in, although the increase in strength is not It's relatively big, but the foundation is a few points more solid.

During this process, Zhao Qing has also been studying the Heshi Bi on hand, and discovered that the strange power emitted by this jade becomes stronger when it is strong, and weak when it is weak. In fact, part of the reason is due to the frequency of radiation. difference.

According to Wu Zhao's enlightenment in "Dragon Fighting in the Wild"

Obtained from the "Great Method of Planting Demons in the Dao Heart"

According to the theory of "fluctuation of all things", all things in the world, every plant and tree, and thousands of categories can be regarded as various energy fluctuations.

Generally, the true energy of martial arts practitioners also fluctuates, while the innate true energy is a higher level and subtler wave, because it can be combined with the human spirit.

So Heshibi's special power has a huge impact on the master's true energy and spirit. It should be that there is a certain level of agreement in the frequency of fluctuations, and it occupies a high-level guiding position.

Starting from this aspect, Zhao Qing tried to change the frequency of the supernatural power fluctuations in his newly created field. After thousands of adjustments, it finally affected He's Bi's supernatural power radiation, achieving a level that no one has been able to do in the past. After gaining complete control, it obediently transformed into a cultivation auxiliary treasure that continuously generates rich vitality of heaven and earth.

...In the history of Buddhism, the founders interpreted Buddhism according to different conceptions, from shallow to profound, from rough to fine. There were also many ideological differences within them, and many different sects were formed.

Those who blindly base their opinions on the nature of Dharma and advocate the truth and Buddha nature as the origin of the world are called Dharma-nature sects. It is generally believed that Huayan, Sanlun, Tiantai, Zen, etc., which are the sects to which the four great saints in the world belong, all belong to The source of Xingzong’s thoughts comes from Nagarjuna Madhyamaka.

Those who establish ideas from the differences of all phenomena, analyze the Dharma, and demonstrate the knowledge-only dharma of all Dharma are called the Dharma-Xiang Sect. They are mainly the Consciousness-only Sect founded by Xuanzang later. The source of their ideas comes from the Yogāṇṭṭhāna of Asanga and Vasubandhu. It has opened a path that is different from other sects; it is subtle and profound, and its practice is significantly more difficult than the former. Only people with great wisdom and wisdom can understand it thoroughly.

In Zhao Qing's opinion, it should also be the sect closest to the essence of Buddhism. At least, what she practices is the pure method of mind.

When Xuanzang was alive, relying on his prestige and influence, the Consciousness-Wei Sect became the most dazzling and prominent among the major sects of Buddhism in China, eclipsing the Faxing Sect. However, after his death , after only a few generations, it declined and almost perished, because the difficulty of cultivation was too high.

Although Xuanzang was the founder of the Dharma-Xiang Consciousness-Only Sect, before him, the Consciousness-Only Sect in China had already developed, such as the Consciousness-Only Sect in the north.

"Geology" and the Southern

"Photography Theory", but there are some contradictions and confusions, and it is not systematic. Schools such as Jing Nian Zen Academy, which is similar to the integration of consciousness-only studies and Zen studies, are actually considered to be the most successful in this world at that time. They have confirmed and studied the six Mahayana classics "Jie Shen Tan Sutra" and "Da Fang" on which consciousness-only studies are based. Guangfo Avatamsaka Sutra, Tathagata Appearance Merit Sutra, Mahayana Abhidharma Sutra, Lankavatara Sutra, Thousand Admiralty Sutra, focusing on the most fundamental and important one is the Interpretation of Deep Tantric Sutra. , which has improved and enhanced the "Jing Nian Zen Book" passed down by the heavenly monk in the past.

There are naturally conflicts between different schools of Buddhism. Although they are not obvious, they do exist.

Even within the same sect, Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of the Zen Sect, has been hunted by his senior brother Shenxiu's men for many years, not to mention from different sects?

The Sanlun Sect, Tiantai Sect, Huayan Sect, and Zen Sect, where the four great holy monks belong, are currently a relatively friendly alliance.

"Dilunpai",

The "Photography School" is vaguely exclusive. When Xuanzang was a child, he gave lectures by eminent monks in Luoyang City. He established his research direction on Buddhism early and paid attention to

The "Ten Earth Classics" of the "Earth Theory School" and

The "Photography School" and "Photography Mahayana" do not have high recognition of the four holy monks. After reporting to Master Huijing, the abbot of Pure Land Temple, and Elder Changjie, and joining Zhao Qing's sect to study, he got the opportunity to study many Buddhist scriptures and Zen practices that were vaguely related to the school he would create in the future, and he met Zhao Qing along the way. With his guidance, he has made rapid progress in Buddhist cultivation. He has the potential to understand various classics and integrate them.

Although his training talent is not as extraordinary as that of Zhao Qing, he is probably at the level of Shi Feixuan and Huan Huan, and he was delayed a lot by the second-rate skills of Luoyang Pure Land Temple, but his understanding of Buddhist theory, By deduction and conclusion, Xuanzang's talent is still higher than that of Zhao Qing.

Despite his acquired cultivation, which had never been intertwined between the two branches of Ren Du, he came up with many thought-provoking and novel insights, which greatly benefited Zhao Qing, whose cultivation was several levels higher than that of Xuanzang.

In terms of debate, he was even able to keep pace with Liao Kong, completely suppressing the top four Dharma protectors in the monastery.

In addition to Kong and the Four Great Vajra, the one with the most profound Zen and martial arts in the Zen Yuan is a Dharma name.

The monk who "saves the precepts" should be the next generation abbot of the Zen monastery under normal circumstances. Later,

"Monk King" Faming's master in Buddhism is currently in his twenties and has already initially entered the level of a super master.

Regardless of the unique skills and the fact that Cihang Jingzhai, who had just started practicing, had his elders change the tendons and cleanse the marrow, since the early stage of Buddhist skills are usually slow and pay attention to accumulation and accumulation, Dujie can be regarded as an outstanding genius in the entire Buddhism.

Quan Dan was completely different from Xuanzang, who was on the same level as Xuanzang within a few days after initially practicing her new Buddhist and Taoist fusion skills under the guidance of Zhao Qing. Ling Dujie couldn't help but be convinced, considering his age. Xuanzang's title, which was only half his own, was replaced by the honorific title of senior brother.

Even though he knew that children are the least persistent and therefore easy to break through confusion and enlightenment, and often improve their understanding of Buddhism quickly, Zhao Qing was quite amazed and felt that he had made the right move in choosing such an outstanding genius.

In "Consciousness-only Theory", everything in the universe is an image of the fluctuation of the mind. The inner and outer worlds, material and non-material, are all changed by the mind.

However, for Zhao Qing, no matter how perfect your Buddhist Madhyamaka and Yoga theories are, they are not consistent with practical problems, and their practical significance is not as good as Taoist theory of vitality. They are suppressed at the application level, and you need to draw nourishment from this. Improve the theory.

Although in this era, Zhao Qing relied on the combination of his own practice and modern scientific understanding of the origin of the world and the astronomical phenomena of the universe to integrate into

In "The Theory of Vitality", if all kinds of faults are really found, it can almost refute the current Buddhist theory; but in terms of the understanding of the nature of the universe, whether it is said that the mind is a special kind of vitality, Tao generates all things, or that the origin of vitality is Zhao Qing thinks it is possible that the image produced by the mind is only consciousness, or based on modern scientific superstring theory, supergravity theory, etc.

And judging from the fact that both Buddhist and Taoist theories can achieve practical results in practice, she doubts that these theories are just one body with many aspects, which are limitations of understanding and have different perspectives. Similar to how light is both a wave and a particle, and has a certain multi-image nature. .

"To sum it up in one word. Continuously studying the mind and other cultivation methods from a comprehensive perspective, Zhao Qingyin had a hunch that as he continued to study profound Buddhist martial arts, it might not take much time for him to be able to master the basics of cultivation. The past world connection involving the eighth consciousness has entered a truly unimaginable realm in Buddhist cultivation, and she can start to try some wonderful ideas that could not be tested in the past. Next, her goal is naturally to go to Yangzhou to find the Shuanglong Bandits. Zhong, Xu Ziling, and the "Secret of Immortality" in their hands; at the same time, they also captured Wang Shichong, the atom of the Ming Dynasty who is now the general guard of Jiangdu, and obtained the "Wisdom Sutra on the Origin of All Dharmas"...
