Chapter 148: Arhat's Magical Art of Conquering Demons
Yang Ming immediately told what he knew. Ke Zhen'e learned that Wu Santong actually had a grudge against Lujiazhuang. He thought about Master Yideng's great kindness to Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and Lujiazhuang was founded by a junior from his hometown, and he had become quite famous over the years.
Xia Ming, naturally cannot allow the two factions to merge.
He immediately slapped his iron staff and said: "This is an old blind man who can't ignore it when he encounters it. They are all friends of the righteous way. Taoist Yin and Wu Sanniang probably went there to resolve this matter. I will rush to help, Fu'er.
Wait here, your mother, the other four father-in-laws and the little mother-in-law will arrive in a moment. When they arrive, let them go to the Lujiazhuang in front to find me."
After saying that, Ke Zhen'e limped away.
It was getting dark. Yang Ming was very smart. He felt bored waiting and told a few ghost stories.
The other children were so frightened that they unconsciously leaned against him for warmth. Yang Ming glanced at the little girl who just wanted to look at people with her nostrils, feeling quite proud.
"My name is Yang Ming, what's your name?"
"My name is Guo Fu, Brother Yang, let's get out of here quickly."
Guo Fu's face turned pale and she grabbed Yang Ming's sleeve.
Yang Ming saw that Xiao Wu was also nervous, and he felt a little scared. He looked at a house by the small bridge in front of him, with a lantern hanging at the door, and said, "Let's go to the bright place in front and wait for the teachers."
.”
The three children are only over ten years old, and Guo Fu and Xiao Wu have never traveled far. Yang Ming studied literature with his father and martial arts with his mother since he was a child. He followed his grandfather to hunt and sell prey in the city many years ago. He is better than Guo Fu and others.
They have become much more mature, and before they knew it, the three children began to listen to Yang Ming's words.
Yang Ming took Guo Fu and Xiao Wu to the bright spot in front, and suddenly saw a figure shaking, and then there was an old man with a gray beard on the bridge.
The old man's shoulders were stained with blood and his face was in a panic. He seemed to be injured, but his eyes flashed fiercely. He stopped on the bridge and then walked away very quickly.
Xiao Wu saw the old man clearly and shouted at the same time: "Dad!" As he said that, he chased after the old man, but the old man didn't seem to hear him and just kept running forward.
In the blink of an eye, Wu and Wu were far away. Although they only got along for a while, Yang Ming and Guo Fu became friends with Wu and Wu. Especially since Yang Ming was taught by his grandfather to be loyal and to treat his friends well, he thought that Wu Sanniang had not yet
When they came back, their father was obviously a lunatic. He was worried that the two of them were missing, so he quickly chased Xiao Wu.
Guo Fu saw Yang Ming chasing after the bridge and wanted to rush over, but before she could take a step forward, she heard the voices of her mother and her second father-in-law.
"Fu'er, why are you here?"
"Where is your eunuch?"
…
Guo Fu turned around and saw her mother, Huang Rong, and her second, third, fourth, and sixth father-in-law, and her little mother-in-law coming out of the darkness. She cried loudly when she remembered the fright she had just received, and threw herself into her mother's arms.
Huang Rong was greatly surprised and frowned: "Fu'er, did you meet a bad person? Where has the Grand Eunuch gone?"
Guo Fu cried and said: "The Grand Eunuch heard that the Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect went to Lujiazhuang to fight, so he said that he was a friend and wanted to break up the fight. He asked me to stay here and not be able to move..."
Quan Jin, whose beard and hair were now gray, whispered: "When will the Quanzhen Sect become enemies with Lujiazhuang?"
Han Xiaoying also had silver hair on her temples, but she didn't have many wrinkles on her face. She said, "Jing'er has been favored by a few real people from the Quanzhen Sect. We should go and resolve some of it."
As soon as Zhu Cong waved his folding fan, he turned around and hurried forward, and everyone hurriedly followed.
After a while, the group arrived at Lujiazhuang, only to see that the huge manor had been burned to rubble. Only the last house they entered had the fire put out, but the manor was considered destroyed and had to be rebuilt.
Standing in front of the ruins of Fotan were three men, two women and two girls. Huang Rong and others recognized them as Ke Zhen'e and another Taoist Yin Zhiping.
Everyone met and bowed, and then Lu Liding met with the later Jiangnan Five Freaks and Huang Rong.
When everyone told the situation, Huang Rong and others realized that it was not Quanzhen Sect and Lujiazhuang who had a feud, but Master Yideng's disciple Wu Santong and Lujiazhuang. Wu Santong discovered that Lu Zhanyuan and He Yuanjun were both dead, and his madness seemed to be getting worse.
, not only stole their tombs, but also came to destroy Lujiazhuang.
When Yin Zhiping and Wu Sanniang arrived, Wu Santong was burning the backyard. In recent years, Yin Zhiping had been taught excellent martial arts such as "Beidou Dafa" and "One Qi Transformation of Three Purities" by his mentor Qiu Chuji. Yin Zhiping had improved a lot in martial arts, although he was still not Wu Santong's opponent.
, but it’s no big deal to draw a sword to stop him.
When Ke Zhen'e arrived, the two of them, plus Wu Sanniang, fought against each other and gained the upper hand with more than thirty moves.
After Yin Zhiping stabbed Wu Santong in the shoulder with his sword, he became violent, broke his sword and ran away.
Everyone was busy putting out the fire and rescuing people, so they did not stop them. As soon as they rescued the servants and their families from the fire in the backyard, Huang Rong, her son and the five Jiangnan monsters arrived.
After Wu Sanniang apologized, she was about to leave. Yin Zhiping thought of his newly accepted disciple Yang Ming and said, "Please Madam Guo, please say hello to Hero Guo for me. He has served the country in the past two years, guarded Xiangyang, and saved many people."
People, everyone in my teaching admires you greatly. Seniors, we are destined to meet again."
Wu Sanniang and Yin Zhiping were about to leave when Guo Fu suddenly said: "Yang Ming and the others are gone."
Yin Zhiping asked: "Where have they gone?"
Guo Fu then told what she saw, and Yin Zhiping frowned and jumped out of the yard.
Wu Sanniang sighed and said: "My official's madness seems to be getting worse. My son doesn't even recognize him. But I don't think he will hurt his children no matter how crazy he is. Brother Xiao Yang will be fine too."
." After saying that, she also left Lujiazhuang.
Huang Rong's heart moved and she thought to herself: "It seems that this Yang Ming is the child of Yang Kang and Sister Nianci. Qiu Laodao values his apprentice. Yang Kang was disabled in martial arts by that senior Mu, and he asked Yin Zhiping to recruit Yang Kang
If Brother Jing finds out about his son, he will probably fight to accept Yang Ming as his apprentice..."
When Yin Zhiping and Wu Sanniang left Lujiazhuang to look for Yang Ming and Xiao Wu, these three teenagers had already chased them out of Jiaxing.
Xiaowu and Xiaowu were not familiar with the Jiaxing route and couldn't see the direction clearly at night. They couldn't follow for long before they lost their way. After wandering for an unknown amount of time, they met their mother who had come out to look for them.
Yang Ming is a native of Jiangnan, and is very familiar with the rural roads of Lin'an and Jiaxing. The Xiaoyaoyou boxing he learned from his mother is quite advanced, and his body and light skills are far superior to those of small and large martial arts. After chasing for half an hour, he saw a broken box in front of him.
In front of the temple, Wu Santong was fighting with an old man with white beard and white hair, who had an immortal demeanor.
The two men's martial arts were almost the same, but Wu Santong was injured and Shiting's martial arts had already gone to Qiling, so he was no match for the old man.
After a while, the old man knocked down Wu Santong with one punch. He wanted to go forward and kill him, but he stood there thinking for a moment and snorted coldly and said: "Although your master is a master of Yideng and famous all over the world, I, Liang Ziwen, am not afraid of you."
You guys, you rashly ruined my potion of elixir, I would be justified in killing you, but my sect has rules and you have to devote yourself to cultivating Taoism and be compassionate, so I will spare you."
Liang Ziwen snorted coldly, turned around and was about to pick up the copper stove that was kicked down by Wu Santong. Suddenly his shoulder swayed and he jumped several feet away, and then returned to the original position with great agility. He grabbed Yang Ming's shoulder and frowned.
: "What are you doing here, kid? Who taught you Xiaoyaoyou Kungfu?"
When Yang Ming saw that this old man with extremely high martial arts skills actually revealed his own martial arts in one sentence, Yang Ming was shocked and said, "My mother taught me the martial arts. She said it was taught by Senior Hong of the Beggar Clan."
Liang Ziwen let go of his hand and snorted coldly: "That's okay..." As he spoke, he suddenly saw the moonlight shining on Yang Ming's face. He frowned and asked: "What's your name? What's your father's name?"
?”
"My name is Yang Ming, and my father is Yang Xiakang. Grandpa, do you recognize my father?"
"Of course I recognize it. Back then..."
Liang Ziwen suddenly paused as he spoke. He remembered that Dajin no longer existed, so he shook his head and said, "Why are you here?" Gu Hao
Yang Ming saw that Liang Ziwen was an immortal and was an old acquaintance of his father, so he told what he knew: "My master Qiu sent my master to take me to Chongyang Palace to practice martial arts. This uncle..."
After hearing this, Liang Ziwen glanced at Wu Santong, who was doing exercises with his eyes closed to heal his injuries, and sneered: "You old boy, I'm afraid you are not really angry at Lujiazhuang, hehe..."
After all, Liang Ziwen did a lot of evil in his early years. He could see the worst side of people and things. He picked up the stove and turned around and said: "Since we met, it is fate. Please take me to visit your father. I must
Ask him about someone."
Yang Ming bowed and said, "Senior Rong, please let me tell Master."
"I don't like Quanzhen Taoism. I'll leave after asking your father a few words. It won't affect your going to Chongyang Palace to practice Xuanmen Dharma."
Liang Ziwen said angrily.
Yang Ming had seen his master perform martial arts and thought that this old man's martial arts might be much better than his master's. Seeing that he was unhappy, he did not dare to say anything. He just walked up to Wu Santong and said: "Uncle Wu, you
My two sons have disappeared after chasing you just now. Auntie, Dunru, and Xiuwen are all looking forward to your return home. Don’t leave anymore and go back to look for them.”
Wu Santong opened his eyes. The anger in his chest was vented because of the burning of Lujiazhuang, and he was seriously injured, and his eyes became somewhat clear.
After hesitating for a moment, Wu San said: "You are my son's friend, and you are considered a good man if you come to persuade me. Okay, I will go back to Dali."
But little brother, I was stabbed by Niubi Old Taoist and then received two palms. The palms of this old ginseng immortal were even more powerful. I injured my heart and lungs and I will not be able to recover within three months. But my Ayuan is still in the west of the city.
I was really stupid and dug her out of the grave. Please help me bury her and Lu Zhanyuan on the spot, lest their bones be picked up by wild wolves..."
Yang Ming agreed immediately, then asked about the location and followed Liang Ziwen out of the ruined temple.
Liang Ziweng saw that Yang Ming was quite chivalrous in his dealings at a young age, so he did not rush him. The two of them returned to a reed swamp in the southwest of Jiaxing. Yang Ming searched for a moment and saw two corpses in tattered clothes. He came closer.
You can vaguely see that one of them is wearing a long skirt.
Yang Ming looked at Liang Ziwen and smiled slightly.
Liang Ziweng hurriedly protected the medicine hoe on his lower back, waved his hand and said: "This can't be done. My hoe is for digging elixirs, so it can't be contaminated with corpse aura."
Yang Ming looked at Liang Ziwen's baggage again. His beard trembled with anger and he cursed: "The little thief has poisonous eyes."
After scolding Liang Ziwen, he took out a small shovel from his bag and threw it to Yang Ming. Then Yang Ming bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Liang. You gave me the shovel to bury the bodies of the owner and his wife of Lujiazhuang. That is a great merit.
You will definitely live a long life and become an immortal by cultivating Taoism."
Liang Ziweng was overjoyed when he heard this. He turned around and walked out of the reed swamp, saying, "You should bury the two of them quickly."
Yang Ming immediately agreed, and then dug a big pit in a dry area, then carefully placed the two bones in place, then backfilled the loess, and inserted a stone in front of the small mound, and said goodbye.
bye.
Liang Ziweng, who was waiting impatiently outside, looked at the sky in the east and asked, "Are you ready?"
"That's good."
Yang Ming hurriedly agreed and stood up. As soon as he took two steps, his foot slipped and almost fell over. Then he stepped on two hairpins, jade bracelets and a small wooden box.
Yang Ming didn't look at the gold hairpin and jade bracelet. He picked up the wooden box and opened it. He saw eighteen clay dolls inside. They were very exquisitely made and had strange patterns on their bodies. He found it quite novel and thought to himself: This wilderness
Why are there these things? I have to go home anyway, my sister will definitely like it, so I will take the clay dolls back to her.
Yang Ming stuffed the wooden box into his arms and walked out.
Liang Ziwen didn't take the medicine shovel handed over by Yang Ming and said with a smile: "You are really a hero, let's go."
Two days later, Liang Ziweng and Yang Ming returned to Hetang Village on the outskirts of Lin'an.
When he arrived outside the house, Yang Ming shouted: "Dad, Mom!"
Several people walked from the room to the yard and saw Liang Ziweng and Yang Ming through the fence.
Yang Tiexin, whose beard and hair were almost pure white, and Bao Xiruo, who still retained his charm, really did not recognize Liang Ziwen and only thought he was the Taoist Priest of the Quanzhen Sect, but Yang Kang and Yang Nianci recognized him at a glance.
The couple looked at each other, and Yang Kang stepped forward and said, "Why is Mr. Liang here? He has his dog with him."
Liang Ziweng spent time with Yang Ming day and night in the past two days, and he liked him very much. He also said politely: "I met the young master on the road, so I asked him to take me to see Mr. Yang."
Yang Kang smiled and said: "Then please serve tea in the house."
A little girl with yellowish skin but delicate facial features ran out of the room and threw herself into Yang Ming's arms with joy.
"elder brother."
"Lan'er."
Liang Ziweng and Yang Kang entered the room to have tea and talk. After Yang Ming paid homage to his grandparents, he took his sister Yang Lan to the room to talk.
Yang Ming smiled and took out the wooden box from his arms, opened it to reveal two rows of eighteen clay dolls, and said with a smile: "Lan'er, look at the fun stuff my brother gave you."
Yang Lan smiled and grabbed two clay dolls to play with. However, she was only over five years old. When she was taking them, she accidentally knocked over the wooden box, and then all eighteen clay dolls fell to the ground.
A lot of whitewash, paint and mud were thrown off.
Yang Ming was startled and was about to pick up the two clay puppets. He saw a layer of paint on the wooden surface where the clay powder had faded, and a human figure was vaguely visible inside. He then peeled off all the clay powder on the clay figures, revealing a naked puppet.
Come.
The puppet's body is covered with a layer of tung oil and painted with black lines. The puppet is exquisitely carved and has a lifelike face. It opens its mouth to laugh, holds its belly with both hands, and has an extremely funny expression. Its appearance is completely different from the original clay figure.
Yang Ming's heart moved, and he knew that what was on this puppet was probably a road map for practicing internal skills.
Yang Ming peeled off the clay powder and oil paint on each clay figure one by one, and in a moment he had eighteen puppets. The expressions of these puppets were either joyful, crying, furious, or kind and amiable, all of them were different.
The movement routes on the puppets are also different.
Yang Ming thought to himself: "Master just taught me how to practice the Quanzhen Dao Song. I'm afraid there are also advanced skills hidden in these puppets. Let me practice according to the lines on their bodies." He then asked Yang Lan to watch the door and sit cross-legged.
Place a puppet in front of you and meditate for a moment, and gradually a warm inner breath slowly rises in your Dantian.
Then Yang Ming guided the inner breath to various acupoints according to the lines drawn on the puppet's body.
Yang Ming didn't know that what was painted on these puppets was a set of "Arhat's magical skills to subdue demons" created by the senior monks of the Shaolin sect. Each puppet was an Arhat. This magical skill was a combination of Buddhist internal skills and was extremely profound and subtle.
.
Just the first step of refocusing one's mind and returning to one's original state requires getting rid of all worldly worries. Not one person in a hundred thousand people may be able to do it. Smart people always have many things to think about, but if they are dull, they can't understand them.
Thousands of changes.
The eminent monk who created this set of magical skills knew very well that there are very few talented people in the world who are both clever and simple. Although there are quite a lot of Buddhist monks who are both talented and have cultivated enough not to be tainted by material desires, it would be difficult to practice this magical skill.
, it is inevitable to "focus on martial arts" wholeheartedly, which becomes a big obstacle to the realization of Buddhism. Buddhism calls "greed, anger, and ignorance" as the three poisons. Greed for money and sex is definitely greed, and being addicted to Zen and martial arts is also greed.
Therefore, clay powder and oil paint were applied on the outside of the Wooden Arhat, and the authentic Shaolin internal skills introduction method was painted, so that future generations would not see the Wooden Arhat and practice it without knowing what they can do, and in vain end up losing their lives or leaving.
The righteous path of Buddhism.
Yang Ming inherited his father's intelligence, but he also received education from his grandfather and mother since he was a child. He is honest and kind-hearted, so he got started quickly during his first practice.
