Chapter 25: Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger
"I have heard that at one time the Buddha was in the country of Savatti, and he only had a tree in a solitary garden, together with a group of great bhikkhus, totaling one thousand two hundred and fifty people. At that time, the World Honored One..."
Kong Xiang recited the "Diamond Sutra" that he had copied by himself, and the golden characters flew out of his mouth one after another, floating up and down in the air.
The Buddhist scriptures are imbued with the Zen meaning of empty space, and when he recited it himself, it was really like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, which was thought-provoking.
The black energy of the demonic thoughts that surged up along with it also invaded Shen Yi's mind, making him realize his original mind more and more in the Zen demonic thoughts.
At the same time, voices of praise came from the Taixu illusion, but Wujue had begun to develop new believers, allowing more people's thoughts to enter the illusion.
Zen thoughts, evil thoughts, distracting thoughts, and all kinds of thoughts gathered in his heart. Shen Yi remained motionless like a mountain and only focused on practicing boxing.
He just needs to punch, and he doesn't need to think about anything else.
His heart is as strong as a diamond, he is diligent and brave, and he does not care about his life.
At this moment, Shen Yi finally understood the essence of these sixteen words. He killed the thief in his heart, his mind was clear, and the movement of his fists and palms already had a solemn look.
"Qi moves all over the body, moving horizontally, mourning in the abdomen, and suddenly entering the sky." Kong Xiang suddenly shouted.
After hearing this, Shen Yi moved his inner energy along this route without thinking. He immediately felt the energy pumping, and a force surged from his abdomen.
"The intention is to guard Dantian, and the force starts from Jinmen, and travels through Yangjiao, Zhenyu, Tianliao, Jianjing, dragon and tiger, and Yin and Yang."
Shen Yi acted in accordance with his words and felt a majestic force emerge all over his body. His muscles and bones roared together, making a sound like dragons roaring and tigers roaring. A layer of substantial golden light enveloped his body, forming a golden bell aura, covering the body. The pale color.
"duang——"
The Qi energy left the body, the Golden Bell Qi Mask made a sound, and all the black Qi around the body was blown away, allowing the demonic thoughts to be cleared away.
Seeing this, Kong Xiang showed a look of relief on his face and said: "Yes, you have already mastered the magical power of subduing dragons and subduing tigers."
The reason why he asked Shen Yi to practice boxing non-stop was not only to temper his mind with the method of demon-forging Buddha, but also to keep him in the empty mind of killing thieves and eliminating evil, and to teach him the techniques.
"This magical power of subduing dragons and subduing tigers is the unique skill that my teacher wants to teach you. This skill is difficult to learn and is difficult to master unless you are brave and diligent. Generally speaking, only disciples who understand the true meaning of Luohan Fist to kill thieves can master it. Practice this method. And the end of this method is the mighty Tianlong Zhengfa of this temple."
Kong Ming said: "Remember, this skill emphasizes intention rather than moves. If you want to have the power of subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger, you need to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger's heart. If the heart is not defeated, the power will not be lost."
This is not a mental method of internal strength, but a method of moving energy that emphasizes intention rather than form. Shen Yi used this to unify his own strength, and felt that his strength could reach everywhere. The simple and unpretentious Luohan Fist has the effect of subduing a dragon or a tiger. His aura, demonic thoughts, and black energy make it difficult to get close to him.
But as he became more skilled in boxing practice, the lunar energy that had been running in his body gradually leaked out, and a cold mist appeared around him, and the silver moonlight was drawn in.
It turned out that before he knew it, it was already night. The sunlight projected from above turned into moonlight, and wisps of yin energy flowed towards Shen Yi like flowing water.
Shen Yi sensed the Qi in his body and roughly estimated that he had recovered the six powers he had before the Qi was absorbed by the heart. Moreover, the newly developed Taiyin Qi was far purer than before and could be controlled more satisfactorily.
‘I just don’t know if I can overcome the lack of anger now.’ He secretly assessed in his heart.
"You can stop."
Kong Xiang stopped and said: "Too much is too much, you have been practicing all afternoon, it's time to take a rest."
After Kong Xiang said this, Shen Yi was really a little tired. He stopped his fists and kicked, gently exhaled an arrow-like mist, and took the energy into his Dantian.
But what surprised him was that despite practicing boxing all afternoon, his heartbeat did not speed up at all. Instead, it seemed to be a bit slower than before.
"How's it going?" Kong Xianxiang saw that Shen Yi's expression seemed strange and asked, "But do you feel something strange about your body?"
"No, nothing unusual." Shen Yi adjusted his facial expression and replied.
It was better for him to explore this kind of thing alone.
"It's fine if there's nothing abnormal," Kong Xiang said as if he was relieved when he heard the words, "Generally speaking, the body of Taiyin only appears in women. It can be said that men have the body of Taiyin, which is rare in ancient and modern times. I'm a teacher.
I don’t know how this situation will change, but the martial arts taught to you are mainly for external use and do not involve internal cultivation."
He picked up a jade bottle from the stone table and threw it to Shen Yi.
After Shen Yi caught it, he only heard Kong Xiang say: "This is the Bigu Pill. You will use this pill to replace your food for the next three days. You will not leave the seclusion until the Wu Zhi Conference is over."
As he spoke, golden light floated around Kong Xiang, and the turbulent black energy was forcibly suppressed, all collected from under Kong Xiang, suppressed, and the interior of the cave returned to normal again.
Shen Yi opened the jade bottle, took out a small dark pill and drank it. A feeling of fullness suddenly appeared, because the hunger caused by practicing boxing was completely suppressed.
'It's amazing.'
He sighed in his heart, and after seeing the empty phase and starting to copy the scriptures again, he also took out the borrowed Diamond Sutra, sat down in a bright place, and started to study it under the moonlight.
He had read the "Diamond Sutra" several times before and felt that although the entire chapter was explained clearly by the annotations, it was difficult for him to truly understand the Buddhist principles contained therein.
Looking at it now, Shen Yi felt that he had a new understanding and was actually a little obsessed.
He just flipped through page after page, his breathing getting longer and longer, and before he knew it, he sat down and fell asleep.
Suddenly, there was white mist surging in front of his eyes, and Shen Yi felt clear. He opened his eyes and found that he was in the illusion of Taixu again.
Streams of light danced around the figure of Taixu Taoist Lord. Shen Yi did some statistics and found that these streams of light came from nine different individuals. This meant that Wujue had actually developed seven followers in one day.
.
He didn't know whether to say that Wujue was very talented in this area, or whether he should say that there were too many unwilling monks among the monks of Linglong Iron Temple.
Accepting these thoughts bit by bit, Shen Yi felt the reluctance and gratitude of these people, and sighed softly, "That's good. The more people who are unwilling, the wider the range of choices for believers, which is a good thing."
He browsed through these thoughts one by one. There was no rejection of the past, only the calmness of this moment.
At this time, he has been able to sort out these external interferences one by one so that he will not be affected.
[Praise to Taoist Master Taixu, Junior Brother Wuwu, Wu Anger came to me.]
Suddenly, an idea emerged, making Shen Yi's movements slightly steady.
