Chapter 235: Wiping away the past, Arhat conquers the demon (4k)
I saw that the pale face of the old sweeping monk had returned to normal. He looked at Zhao Qing, who had defeated him with only five moves, and sighed: "I have been practicing martial arts for 135 years and meditating for 40 years.
, I thought there was nothing in the world that could shock my heart."
"However, tonight I saw the layman's unparalleled magical power, and knowing that it is possible for me to witness other people's "ascension" feats in my lifetime, it made my heart suddenly ripple."
Although he claims to have a turbulent heart, his tone of voice is calm and calm, as if he has seen through everything and is detached.
The moonlight shines through the ice mist, covering the old monk in a pale white light, blending into the silver-covered ground, giving people the illusion that he has been standing here since ancient times.
One hundred and thirty-five years of practicing martial arts? Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly. Looking at the masters she has seen with her own eyes, the sweeping monk is already the oldest in the world.
He is about one hundred and fifty years old. No wonder the other party seems to have some connection with the Xiaoyao Sect, but he is still so old.
The beauty-preserving effect of Bei Ming Sheng Gong and Xiao Wu Xiang Gong can probably delay the aging rate by half. The Xiaoyao sect is really good at the martial arts of preserving beauty and not growing old, and it must be the "Eternal Age Changchun Kung" practiced by Tianshan Tonglao. p>
As for the reason why the old monk was able to recover quickly after the failure of the mental confrontation, Zhao Qing understood the truth in an instant.
Martial arts like "yoga" can greatly improve the ability to heal yourself. This is actually because mastering the first seven consciousnesses is also a process of strengthening body control and can release various potentials contained in the body.
With Saudi Monk's mental attainments and his ability to think about everything around him with Manas consciousness, even if he has not practiced "Yoga" and other exercises, his physical vitality is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. p>
……
"Senior, I wonder who are the masters in history who have succeeded in "ascension" and "nirvana"?" After thinking about it, Zhao Qing asked.
The old monk thought for a while and replied: "In the farthest time, Buddha Sakyamuni was naturally the first person to achieve Nirvana. At the same time, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was also a master who "ascended" away. But
After these two people, rumors of "ascension" and "nirvana" appeared many times, but there was not much evidence."
"As long as the physical body is incorruptible, the Taoist state of refining gods and the Buddhist state of seeing the Tao can be completely achieved, and the body will be immortal for thousands of years after death. Ordinary people have insufficient vision, and it is easy to mistake this phenomenon for they have already become adults.
Immortal becomes Buddha."
"Without the addition of the inner strength of the true energy, the physical body after death is still harder than iron, and the vajra is indestructible, which is better than the pure incorruptible physical body. As long as it reaches the state between returning to the void and refining the void, it can be initially
Completed."
"In "Baopuzi Neichai On Immortals", Ge Hong divided the immortals into three levels, namely corpse-removing immortals, earth immortals, and heavenly immortals. Among these three, only "celestial immortals" can break the void.
The realm of "Hedao" that ascends during the day."
"And the so-called "corpse-dissolving immortals" claim to abandon their bodies and go to immortality after attaining enlightenment. In fact, they are just a manifestation of the mastery of divine refining and the return of emptiness. After cultivating to this level, relying on some special skills, their souls can leave the world.
The body can still survive for a long time, and it can show some supernatural powers."
"The "Earth Immortals" are called earth wandering immortals. They are truly "the unity of heaven and man" and have abilities beyond mortals. Throughout the ages, there have been only a few people who have reached this state. Most of the "Earth Immortals" actually just don't have
Those who abandon their bodies to cultivate gods are just empty cultivators and do not live up to their name."
At this point, the old monk's voice paused and said: "Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, the Taoist "Earth Immortals" or Buddhist masters of the same level known to me include Patriarch Bodhidharma, Zhong Liquan, Lu Dongbin, Lianhua
Sheng and others. And like the second to sixth ancestors of Zen Buddhism, although the realm of Buddhism is profound, their martial arts cultivation is not that outstanding."
"In the past, when Patriarch Bodhidharma came from the east, he was already in the state of Arahantship, and his martial arts were unparalleled in the world. However, he did not miss the magic of Arahantship, and resolutely turned to the Mahayana Bodhisattva path, spending countless hours
In ten years, he cultivated to the realm of the Eighth Level Bodhisattva. As for the last move, I don’t know whether he succeeded or not."
"Speaking of which, I am a hundred years old
Over the years, I feel that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seems to be gradually becoming thinner. It can be seen that after the prosperity of martial arts in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, martial arts in the world began to decline step by step."
"However, as if returning to the past, in this era when martial arts is about to wither, Duan Siping, Murong Longcheng, Lao Na and other masters of the Void Return Series have appeared, and two people have entered the realm of the unity of heaven and man and the realm of refining the void.
A great master, and a person with your level of qualifications, layman, is rare in history."
"Two great masters who have entered the realm of unity between man and nature?" Zhao Qing was slightly shocked. One of them is Xiaoyaozi, and who is the other one? Is this person still alive?
The old monk nodded and explained: "The first one is Lao Na's half-teacher and half-friend. His name is Xiaoyaozi. As early as seventy or eighty years ago, heaven and man had met and walked on the path of refining the void and combining the Tao.
On the way. The second one, in the past, people in the martial arts world were called the Sword Demon Dugu, who swept the world with one man and one sword, and was invincible."
"Forty years ago, the layman Dugu entered the state of returning to virtuality and defeated Lao Monkey, who was still a Taoist at that time. He left an incurable wound on Lao Mongolian body and had to turn from Taoism to Buddha. It took forty years, but he could not
Eliminate the shadow in your heart."
"Forty years have passed, and although I don't know where the layman Dugu is, based on his talent at that time, he has probably reached the state of "unity of nature and man", which is enough to compete with Taoist Brother Xiaoyaozi."
It turned out to be Dugu Qiubai? Zhao Qing was shocked and his thoughts were ups and downs.
In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Yang Guo first guessed that Dugu Qiufei was a character from at least sixty or seventy years ago, and then thought that the Condor Heroes had lived for hundreds of years. It can be concluded that Dugu Qiufei was earlier than the Tianlong era, but in fact it was not
Not surprising.
Before that, Zhao Qing discovered that this time in the dream, most of the masters faced the enemy with bare hands. Divine weapons that may contain the energy of the golden element were quite rare. Except for Wu Yazi Li Qiu Shui's old sword, there seemed to be no other weapons.
Yes.
It is quite different from the previous two worlds where the harvest was more than the consumption.
Now it seems that the harvest of the golden energy may fall on the swords in the Dugu Qiubai Sword Tomb.
Having said that, being able to face Dugu Qiufei, who specializes in swordsmanship and has reached the peak of martial arts, will definitely inspire me much more than the sweeping monk.
I don’t know if Dugu Qiubei and Xiaoyaozi have ever met or fought against each other? Xiaoyaozi left the Xiaoyao sect sixty or seventy years ago and is suspected of having gone overseas. It is normal that the two have never met each other.
.
The location of the Sword Tomb is near Xiangyang City, so it shouldn't be difficult to find Dugu Qiufei.
……
"I don't know, what kind of conflict did senior have with Sword Demon Dugu?" Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart and asked.
In her opinion, when the sweeping monk sensed her, his reaction was abnormal, as if he was afraid of being found. Could it be that the reason why he stayed in the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple and was an inconspicuous handyman monk was actually
Is it to avoid Dugu Qiufei?
As if he had guessed what Zhao Qing was thinking, the old monk sighed softly and explained: "More than fifty years ago, the Murong family in Gusu invited me to help resolve a conflict. Because Murong Longcheng had some trouble with my Li family in the past.
It is a great kindness, and I immediately agreed to go."
"I heard from the head of the Murong family at that time that more than ten years earlier, he believed that Dugu layman and himself belonged to the same Xianbei clan and were extremely talented, so he tried his best to win over him and promised various benefits."
"However, the other party did not accept the kindness. Instead, when he was not at home, he sneaked into the Huanshi Shui Pavilion of Shenhe Village and secretly read the martial arts secrets in it. After ten years of practice, his martial arts surpassed that of the Murong clan master. He also wanted to
Come back for revenge."
Judging from the character of Murong Bo and Murong Fu, this head of the Murong family is probably slandering others. Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and he suspected that the so-called "trying to win over" was probably "coercion and inducement".
In addition, Dugu Nine Swords is an eclectic collection of martial arts from all over the world, and it turns out that Shi Shuige also deserves some of the credit, which is indeed quite reasonable.
The old monk sighed softly, knowing that people from the Shaolin Temple would come to investigate because of the loud noise during the fight, so he started walking down the mountain and continued:
"At that time, I found out that Dugu layman had a very bad reputation in the world. He was called the "Sword Demon" and was regarded as
He is a devil-like figure, so he firmly believes in the words of the head of the Murong family. Not only does he want to resolve the conflict between the two parties, but he is also prepared to punish Dugu Jie with both small punishments and severe punishments."
"In fact, during the actual fight, Lao Na discovered that the other party was definitely not the evil person in the rumors and the words of the head of the Murong family. But since the conflict started, Dugu Jushi's swordsmanship was too sharp, and he had no choice but to advance.
, I had no choice but to use my life-long skills to injure and defeat him."
Zhao Qing followed the old monk down the mountain and nodded when he heard the words.
A person who is skilled in martial arts can deeply understand others through his martial arts, just like a person in literature can understand the other person's character through words.
Although there is a possibility of disguise, the sweeping monk may have reached the realm of "sympathy between heaven and man" at that time. His perceptual ability is extremely amazing, and there should be no problem with his judgment.
The old monk said as he walked: "About six or seven years later, Dugu Jiaji took action again and killed the head of the Murong family with a sword in Shenhe Village. Then he began to look for traces of Lao Na. Five years later, Lao Na was with him.
We engaged in a battle at a place called the Valley of Heartlessness, and was defeated on the spot, barely escaping."
Jueqing Valley? Zhao Qing's heart moved. The weapons such as the Gentleman and Lady Sword in Jueqing Valley are quite good in terms of materials. Although they have not experienced any masters, they may be able to cultivate a small amount of golden energy.
"If your guess is normal, the reason why I stayed in this Shaolin Temple was indeed to avoid the magic sword of the layman Dugu."
The old monk narrated the story: "In the battle that year, he left an indelible sword intention on Lao Na's left rib, which was enough to sense Lao Na's position from a long distance and lock his soul from thousands of miles away." "In order to change his mental temperament and avoid being sensed by the sword, Lao Na transformed all his Taoist energy into the internal power of the "Yi Jin Jing" and became a pure Zen man. With the help of the previous abbot, Master Lingmen, he transformed
As an ordinary serving monk, he lives in seclusion next to the Sutra Pavilion."
"Forty years passed in a blink of an eye. From the panic when I first entered Zen Buddhism, I gradually felt the deep connection between myself and Buddhism. Gradually, I eliminated the three poisons of "greed, anger, and ignorance" in my heart, and created a Buddhist sect.
It is a Buddhist internal skill that is almost comparable to the Yi Jin Jing, as well as the five-step seal technique for praying to the Buddha to protect the way."
"Alas! In fact, kindness is fate, and hatred is also fate. Don't hold on to hatred, and you don't have to hold on to kindness. Everything in this world is like a passing cloud. It is precisely "all dharmas arise from fate, and all dharma perishes from fate." "Gains and losses follow fate.
There is no increase or decrease in the heart."
"Now it seems that the reason why Dugu Jushi did not use a killer after the battle that year was probably because he had found out the truth of the matter and knew that Lao Na had been deceived by the head of the Murong family."
At this point, the two of them had already walked back to the Sutra Pavilion, with mysterious spiritual fluctuations emanating from their bodies. Naturally, Xuan Sheng, a top expert from Shaolin Temple who came over to investigate the situation, ignored their presence.
The old monk casually opened a door next to the pavilion, took out a wooden box from the house, opened it, and revealed three rows of wooden dolls placed side by side inside.
These puppets are covered with a layer of tung oil and painted with black lines. There are eighteen in total. The carvings are extremely exquisite and their faces are lifelike.
The expressions of each puppet are different. They may be happy, crying, angry, or staring with affection.

The old monk introduced: "I am ashamed to say that I named the internal skill I created "Arhat Subduing Demon Skills", which is a bit offensive to the title of Dugu Lay Buddhist."
Is it Arhat's Demon Subduing Technique? Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly, and he looked at the eighteen puppets and found that the exercise lines above were quite mysterious, and were not inferior to Beiming Divine Technique or Mingyu Technique.
"This method combines the great achievements of Buddhist internal skills and incorporates part of Taoist yin and yang theory. It is very subtle and profound. Only talented and intelligent people, who have abandoned all worldly concerns and distractions, can start to get started."
"This skill focuses on the reconciliation of yin and yang, nourishing the spirit, and the internal strength cultivated can promote the practitioner's induction of the first seven consciousnesses, invisibly enhance the realm of Buddhism and spirituality, and eventually transform into an Arhat to frighten external demons.
”
The old monk introduced in detail: "The Yi Jin Jing passed down by Patriarch Bodhidharma is mainly an auxiliary skill that can transfer and adjust the muscles, meridians, and acupoints. It is the qualification
Ordinary people, as long as they have a Zen mind, can become the ultimate genius in the eyes of ordinary people by adjusting the muscles and veins in the body."
"Although the "Arhat Suppressing Demon Technique" created by Lao Na does not have the wonderful effect of "Yi Jin Jing" in changing qualifications, it can be practiced together with "Yi Jin Jing", and the two complement each other and enhance each other."
"In today's battle, like Master Zhao, I also gained a lot. Maybe it won't take long before I can dissolve the sword intention that has lingered in my flesh and blood for forty years, and all my internal injuries will be gone. I will be able to prove that I have more to rely on."
"There is a little more hope on the road to Nirvana."
The old monk said to Zhao Qing in a grateful tone: "If the layman agrees, I would like to share with you the secrets of the Yi Jin Jing, the Arhat's Demon Subduing Technique, the Seal of Liberation from Trouble, and the Four Zens and Five Links of Buddhism."
