Chapter 54 Old Monk
After Xie Yu returned the sword and finished his attack, he found that Qiao Feng and Xu Zhu had already finished their fight over there, they were too focused on the martial arts sparring and didn't pay attention.
At this time, some of his personal accomplices began to explain to him. It turned out that Xu Zhu said that he was the leader of Xiaoyao Sect. In order to clean up the family, he planted the life and death talisman for Ding Chunqiu and forced Ding Chunqiu to be imprisoned in Shaolin.
The battle between Xiao Feng and Jiumozhi was really exciting. Jiumozhi was actually proficient in the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin. Everyone in Shaolin was stunned. Unfortunately, he was defeated by Xiao Feng, but Jiumozhi's martial arts was too high, so he escaped. .
Xie Yu felt regretful that he did not see the second half of the battle between Jiumozhi and Xiao Feng, but he was also very satisfied when he thought about the martial arts competition with Murong Fu.
However, Xiao Feng's situation was not very good at this time. National justice was still very effective, no matter who this person was. All the heroes will besiege Xiao Feng, and Shaolin will also guard all the paths down the mountain to prevent Xiao Feng from escaping down the mountain.
Xiao Feng was not afraid either, he was still looking for the person he was writing to.
Suddenly, two masked men wearing black monk robes came out to fight. These two men also used Shaolin's seventy-two stunts, but their skills were very powerful.
Murong Fu and Xiao Feng's expressions changed, and Xie Yu also sensed something was wrong. After Murong Fu and Xiao Feng followed them into the Shaolin Temple fighting, Xie Yu also jumped over.
As he followed them all the way, Xie Yu could indeed feel that the martial arts strength of the two men in black in front of him was definitely superior to his own.
But not long after, two men in black stopped at the Sutra Pavilion and gave up.
And after they each unveiled their own veils, and then explained something to Murong Fu and Xiao Feng, Xie Yu sneaked closer.
It was discovered that Jiumozhi had also arrived at the Sutra Pavilion, and had a pleasant conversation with one of the black-faced men, calling him Mr. Murong. Xie Yu understood what was going on.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xie Yu to confirm from their conversation that one was Xiao Feng's biological father and the other was Murong Fu's father. Murong Fu's father was indeed the leader. In order to prevent revenge, he pretended to be dead. At this time, Xiao Feng had a guess. Unfortunately, No one can be found.
Just when Xie Yu thought that the two sides were going to fight, suddenly Murong Fu's father was willing to let Xiao Feng be beaten to death, only asking Xiao Feng to send troops to the Song Dynasty after his death.
When the Murong family was given the opportunity to compete for the world, Xie Yu was stunned. He could still do this, but Xiao Feng was so benevolent that he refused on the spot.
I am just talking about my personal worries. If I failed in revenge today, I would be fine even if I lose my life. How can I use the power of the country to take revenge on others?
If the world is in chaos, the people will still suffer. The most important thing is for a man to protect his family and the country and improve people's livelihood.
Xie Yu was impressed by the justice of these words. How many people want to take shortcuts? Shortcuts do have small risks and high benefits, and are beneficial to themselves.
What Xiao Feng said was very good for the people of the world, but very detrimental to himself.
Xie Yuzheng thought for a while, if Xiao Feng was in crisis, he would definitely take his life. Such a person with such upright views cannot die in vain.
But suddenly, a sweeping monk came. The old monk was hunched over, but Xie Yu felt a particularly dangerous aura from him.
At that moment, Xie Yu not only did not dare to act, but instead slowly retreated further away.
Sure enough, it turned out later that the old monk was the master. The two enemies fought against each other, but were easily stopped by the sweeping old monk. He didn't even know what the old monk said. He glanced at old Mr. Murong and Xiao Feng's father. These two People with extraordinary skills will die.
When I went, Xie Yu was immediately frightened and left quickly, but not long after he saw Xiao Feng and Murong Fu, chasing them back and forth. Xie Yu couldn't help being curious and chased after them.
Not long after, they followed the two of them to a small farmyard. Looking out the window of the small courtyard, they found that Mr. Murong and Xiao Feng's father were alive again, and they were holding each other's hands to circulate their inner energy.
Immediately, Xie Yu took a breath and wondered why most martial arts people were willing to associate with Shaolin Temple masters. It was because most people in the martial arts hated each other and took human lives at every turn, while Buddhism emphasized compassion and rarely killed.
Xie Yu felt relieved now. Soon everyone from the Shaolin Temple arrived. Seeing the old monk using Buddhist methods to resolve the grudges between the two people, they immediately felt that this was in line with the Buddhist teachings.
This old monk was specially invited to teach the scriptures. When the old monk arrived, he simply gave lectures directly in this small courtyard.
Xie Yu is also a person who is well versed in Buddhism. Seeing that what the old monk taught is very true to Buddhism, Xie Yu also feels that he has gained a lot. Buddhism is also a collection of philosophy and psychology, and can also be regarded as a cultural inheritance. Theoretical guidance.
Xie Yu has studied martial arts for a long time, and he also knows that martial arts is also divided into skills and Tao. Skills are the end, and "Tao" is the foundation. However, "Tao" can only rely on self-enlightenment and continuous practice, and this is too difficult. If you understand, you understand; if you don’t understand, you don’t understand.
Xie Yu learned a lot of martial arts skills in order to learn by analogy and gain skills to enter the Tao. This is also the path most people in the martial arts take.
But the old monk's generals were really good, and they were all useful information. Xie Yu turned his mind and memorized them, and gradually understood them later.
In particular, the old monk said that Buddhism is about saving lives, while martial arts is about killing. The two contradict each other. As long as you kill, you will have anger and inner demons. The higher the martial arts, the more people kill, the stronger the anger will be.
And this anger can only be resolved by the compassion in Buddhism. If there is no compassion to resolve it, the higher the martial arts, the greater the obstacle to practicing Zen. This is the same as the obstacle to knowledge and vision.
In this case, the hostility in the body becomes deeper and deeper, which is more powerful than any external poison. Only the higher the Buddha's teachings and the stronger the compassion, can the external demons be subdued. When the Buddha's teachings are more powerful and they don't bother to kill people,...
This lecture lasted for two or three hours. Xie Yu was very happy after listening to it, and he also suddenly realized many things. It was a pity that the old monk was supported by many Shaolin monks and returned to the Shaolin Temple.
Although Xie Yu regretted this fate, he didn't force it. Some of the gains were enough for him to digest for a while.
Xie Yu is very confident that after Xie Yu digests this guidance, his martial arts cultivation will definitely take a step forward.
As for conflicts in martial arts, Xie Yu is not afraid of anything. He himself once studied the Dao Zang in the Quanzhen Sutra Pavilion, and Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen sect, was able to combine Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism into one.
Xie Yu also admires this idea. In fact, it is based on traditional Chinese culture to reintegrate the three extended sects and trace them back to their roots. In this way, although the nature of the internal force is different, in the final analysis, they are all strengthening. itself, otherworldly.
Moreover, Xie Yu knew that he was just a passerby in this world of martial arts and would return to the real world, so he took up martial arts training as his hobby.
He likes to keep getting stronger like this, but he doesn't like killing people, so he doesn't have any violent inner demons, because he knows that this world may be just a huge illusory world.
This may also be the reason why he continues to become stronger and has not encountered his own obstacles in knowledge, martial arts, and inner demons.
