Chapter 238 Buddha and Demon coexist and harmonize (4k)
After being silent for a while, Xiao Yuanshan replied in a low voice: "As you said, I really shouldn't have murderous thoughts towards Xuan Ku and Qiao and his wife, but only kill the first culprit. Like Zhao Qiansun and Zhiguang, these two people back then
There is no need to pay attention to the characters who are just making up the numbers."
"Yes, if you can not be blinded by excessive hatred, your martial arts level, which has been stuck in a bottleneck for many years, can quickly return to the normal speed of improvement." Zhao Qing nodded and replied calmly.
In her opinion, Xiao Yuanshan's martial arts has hardly improved in the past thirty years. Although a large part of it can be attributed to the strong practice of Shaolin's unique skills, he is also immersed in deep hatred and violates the true meaning of his original martial arts.
A major reason.
Suddenly, an old voice outside the window said: "How good, how good! Master Xiao can avoid many disasters in the world by thinking about this throughout his life. It is really a great good deed."
When Xiao Yuanshan heard this, he was shocked. Why was there another master that he didn't notice? He didn't know how long he had been listening outside the window. According to the other party's words, this person should really be from the Shaolin Temple, and he could be regarded as his biggest enemy.<
/p>
Rather than letting him leak his affairs to other people in Shaolin Temple, it is better to strike first.
He has been in the world for many years, and he has excelled in the world very early. There are almost no people in Liao and Song Dynasty who can't beat him. Yan Longyuan, who he met in Zangjing Pavilion, was the number one master he had ever played against before tonight.
I have never seen an expert of Zhao Qing's level in the past decades, so I wouldn't be so unlucky tonight to meet two of them in a row.
Thinking of this, he secretly put his hand on the handle of a long rope tied around his waist. Just as the other party finished speaking, he suddenly retreated towards the window and threw the long rope quickly towards the source of the sound.
It's like throwing an iron spear several feet long.
This is the unique skill of Xiao Yuanshan's own master. Its power is not inferior to that of most Shaolin skills. Not only does the rope head carry an astonishing force that can break bones and muscles, but it also contains various exquisite subsequent changes.
Under the sudden attack, even a master of the same level would suffer a big loss.
But when he heard a clear ringing sound, Xiao Yuanshan hadn't turned around to collect the rope yet. When he observed the other party's situation at this time, he was already extremely horrified.
A master of his level, even if he uses a whip rope that is more than ten feet long, can accurately estimate the distance traveled by each move.
Under Xiao Yuanshan's induction, the whip he threw out, as soon as the long rope touched the window, seemed to have encountered a wall that was both hard and soft, and stopped strangely, and the strength suddenly disappeared.
, did not cause any damage to the wooden windows.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yuanshan resolutely abandoned the long rope, raised his hand and laid out two layers of soft yet strong strength. After his body floated backwards, he had time to turn his head and see clearly the real scene at the window.<
/p>
I saw two wooden windows at the window slowly opening, and when the long rope fell to the ground, an old monk wearing a green robe was revealed outside.
"Lao Monk is just an ordinary serving monk in Shaolin Temple. He is responsible for the cleaning of the Sutra Pavilion. Master Xiao does not need to act recklessly." The old monk replied truthfully: "Lao Monk knew about the layman's affairs twenty-nine years ago.
But I have never informed the masters of this temple."
"How is it possible..." Xiao Yuanshan was about to refute, but did not continue. If the old monk's strength is similar to that of Zhao Qing, then it is entirely possible to find out his affairs secretly.
"The layman just thought that the signs of three important points on the body are actually caused by the strong practice of Shaolin's special skills..." The old monk briefly mentioned Xiao Yuanshan's every behavior in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and explained the dangers of strong training in Buddhist martial arts.
.
Xiao Yuanshan was surprised and shocked at the same time. These symptoms had troubled him for many years and could not be eliminated, becoming a major worry. He never thought that it was caused by practicing Shaolin martial arts.
He glanced at Zhao Qing beside him, knowing that this divine monk was probably the one who exchanged martial arts with her. He thought secretly for a while, bowed his hands to the two of them, and asked: "Two masters, don't you know what's going on in me?"
Is there a solution to the pain you suffer?"
The sweeping monk outside the window returned the courtesy and replied: "The injury suffered by layman Xiao was caused by the strong practice of Shaolin martial arts. If you want to find a way to resolve it, you must find it in Buddhism. The Buddha is born from the heart, and the Buddha is enlightenment."
.Others can only give advice, but cannot do it for you."
"How should we find it from Buddhism?" Xiao Yuanshan was a little confused. He would never ask me to give up hatred and convert to Buddhism, right? How could such a bloody feud be just let go?
The sweeping monk smiled slightly and replied: "The layman was obsessed with revenge, so he practiced Shaolin martial arts. From then on, he fell into the devil's way, and he fell deeper and deeper into it. Causes and conditions are interrelated, and only by letting go of the obsession that caused the devil can we get rid of the consequences.
The anger generated resolves the mental and physical trauma."
"Let go of your obsession with revenge?"
Xiao Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, immediately shook his head, and replied in a firm tone: "The sea of blood hates so much that you can just let it go if you want to. What the monk said is too much. Even if the pain on your body increases tenfold,
I have to go and avenge this big revenge first!"
"What I said is just a choice. If you don't want to, there is no need to force it." The old monk shook his head and replied calmly.
Xiao Yuanshan has not officially carried out revenge yet, and is not planning to implicate innocent people. The problem is not big, so that's what he said.
"Actually, the internal injuries you suffered may not necessarily be resolved by relying on Buddhism." Zhao Qing observed the flow and changes of Xiao Yuanshan's true energy for a while, and then gave a completely different answer after the sweeping monk.<
/p>
"No need to use Buddhism to resolve it?" Xiao Yuanshan's eyes were bright, and his face couldn't help but reveal a happy look.
Although he is also a master that he could not imagine, the seemingly young Zhao Qing is more inscrutable compared to the older and talkative sweeping monk.
However, as soon as Zhao Qing said this, Xiao Yuanshan's evaluation of the two people immediately reversed. He felt that she, who could find a normal solution, might be the one with more means.
"That's right." Zhao Qing nodded and said to the old monk outside the window: "Every stunt in the Shaolin Temple must be reconciled and resolved with corresponding compassionate Buddhist teachings. Otherwise, the evil spirit will penetrate deep into the internal organs and become deeper and deeper. This kind of damage
Could it be that the violent energy in the body is the 'demon' opposite to the Buddha?"
"Amitabha." The old monk clasped his hands and said, "What layman Zhao said is exactly the essence of 'violent energy' in Buddhist martial arts. Therefore, if you want to resolve the accompanying demons in your heart, you can only inspire the inner strength that everyone has."
True to the nature of Buddha."
"If Master Zhao has other means to resolve the 'violent spirit' and subdue the demon, I will naturally retract my previous judgment."
"Sure enough." Zhao Qing had a clear idea in his heart. He suddenly swayed and put two fingers on Xiao Yuanshan's wrist. He decided to determine the truth of the "violent aura" and the truth about the "violent aura" through further inspection of his body.
Try to find another way to resolve it.
At the same time, relying on the inner strength of the true energy that penetrated the opponent's meridians, she experienced the changes in Xiao Yuanshan's thoughts and used them as nourishment for her own spirit, making her mind and soul more active.
There is a saying in Buddhism, "I save all sentient beings", which means to help all sentient beings free themselves from troubles and pain.
Taoism is known as the first group of scriptures, and the "Saving People Jing" of the sect of Wanfa also states that "the Immortal Way values lives and cannot measure people." It takes helping the world and saving people as the purpose of the religion.
Only then can we have the best of both worlds.
In Zhao Qing's view, this is because all living beings are not only the same people as the practitioners, but also part of the world, so they have special meaning and can promote their own practice.
Sensing the thoughts of sentient beings can bring indescribable feelings, including love, hate, separation, and sorrow, as well as pride and ambition. They are both human nature and a part of heaven.
The five supernatural powers of Buddhism and the Taoism of Taoism are not intended to make people fight against each other, but to "save oneself and all living beings."
……
With her in-depth exploration, Zhao Qing quickly sensed some yang internal forces that were affected by the hostility and were more restless than the normal energy, and tried to expel the hostility.
First of all, from the perspective of "excessive yang energy and weak fire rising up", she activated a partial yin true energy with opposite yin and yang attributes, and merged it with the internal force mixture containing violent energy, hoping to make it reach the yin and yang level.
A balanced state of impartiality.
As a result, the internal force after the fusion is still relatively restless, showing the fact that the hostility has not disappeared. It can be seen that the yin and yang bias of the internal force is only one of the effects of hostility, not its fundamental element.<
/p>
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Qing injected the inner power of Shenzhao Gong, which was enhanced by the concept of "Ku Chan", into Xiao Yuanshan's meridians, hoping to cure the pain at several acupuncture points on his body.
However, it still has no effect at all.
The internal injuries caused by violent anger are more like a deeper change in the body, involving the mental and spiritual levels. They are not internal injuries in the ordinary sense, but a contaminated product after combining with the essence, energy and spirit.
In fact, if there is really an injury to the flesh and blood or meridians in the body, Xiao Yuanshan's skill can completely heal it gradually.
According to Zhao Qing's detection and inference, the mind should first be affected by the hostility, which then affects the spirit, and then affects the body through the true energy.
Combined with the sweeping monk's previous statement of being "possessed by a demon", she has already figured out the nature of this "violent energy".
There is a saying that Buddha and demon are originally one body. If you realize one thought, you will become a Buddha, and if you lose sight of it, you will become a demon.
If you have a good thought and generate bodhicitta, you will become a Buddha. If you have an evil thought and fall into perdition, you will become a demon. Buddha and demon are one and the same, and becoming a demon and a Buddha all originate from the heart. Good and evil are essentially the same, but in a single thought.
If you have practiced Buddhist martial arts to a high level, but your spiritual realm is insufficient, you will be affected by the "demons" that accompany the Buddha, creating hostility in your mind and body that is difficult to resolve.
There is also a saying that "a small devil becomes a small Buddha, a big devil becomes a big Buddha, and no devil can become a Buddha." It is believed that it takes the tempering of "devils" to get closer to the realm of "Buddha".
In Zhao Qing's view, the sweeping monk in the original work transformed Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, allowing them to achieve enlightenment in an instant, transform from "demon" to "Buddha", and eliminate all internal injuries, which indeed proves this point.
From a certain level, the "Great Method of Planting Demons in the Heart of the Dao", which involves first entering the demon from the Tao, and then from the demon into the Tao, also utilizes a similar principle.
However, in her mind, the best and the worst are too extreme, and she should choose the middle of them to achieve a harmonious effect. It is precisely "all things bear yin and embrace yang, and the energy is in harmony", "the energy is in harmony, yin and yang are harmonious"
Containing pregnancy, then all things will be completed."
To put it simply, it is to use the Taoist idea of "harmony" to connect the extreme Buddhas and demons with each other to achieve an "impartial" balancing effect.
"Liezi·Tianrui" says: "The pure and light ones are the sky above, the turbid and heavy ones are the earth below, and the harmonious ones are the human beings." "The Doctrine of the Mean" says, "When harmony is achieved, heaven will have its place, and all things will be nurtured." Human beings.
There is the harmony of heaven and earth in the life, so it can reconcile yin and yang and transform all things.
"Tao has a body and is useful. The body is the immovable vitality, and the user rushes and circulates between the heaven and the earth. When the rushing qi reaches the void and becomes one, in the sky it is the fifth day of heaven, and on the earth it is the sixth place of the earth. Covering the rushing qi is the source of the vitality
When it is born, it becomes empty and one, and it may not be full."
The qi of yin and yang is the essence of "Tao", and the qi of conflict and harmony is the phenomenon of "Tao", and they are inseparable from each other.
Vaguely, Zhao Qing realized the deep connection between Buddha, demon, yin and yang, and found his own path.
At the same time, I also roughly figured out how to treat Xiao Yuanshan’s hostility.
The "resolving with Buddhism" mentioned by the sweeping monk is undoubtedly the most orthodox method, but it requires Xiao Yuanshan to devote himself to Buddhism, which has the effect of "transformation".
But practicing Buddhism and being able to forget even deep hatreds, in her opinion, is really not a good thing. It is closer to "brainwashing" and completely goes against people's original intentions.
Regardless of Buddhism, if one achieves advanced attainments in Taoist practice, or simply follows the evil spirit and joins the demonic path, the negative impact of the evil spirit should be able to be resolved.
The last method is for Taoist masters to cultivate the "harmony qi" that can reconcile yin and yang, Buddha and demon and other opposing factors, and heal him, which can naturally eliminate the influence of hostile qi and resolve it from the root. p>
But it is a pity that I still have a long way to go before I can reach the realm of "harmony", so I cannot really solve this problem yet.
But it is not difficult to suppress the anger and heal the existing injuries. You only need to block the process of the anger affecting the body.
……
Although I thought of a lot of content and tried several methods, it only took a moment.
I saw Zhao Qing silently running the Ming Yu Gong, quickly sucking out Xiao Yuanshan's anger-affected true energy from his body, and discharging it to the outside world.
After these "tools" that assist the evil spirit in affecting the body disappear, the "possessed" mind will have to go through the steps of "mind-spirit-zhenqi" again, causing the zhenqi to become obviously polluted again. It will take at least ten years at least.
Time.
Feeling the rapid loss of true energy in his body, Xiao Yuanshan was shocked at first, and then found that the essence of heaven and earth from the outside world was poured into his body at the same time, making up for the consumption of his own true energy, without much actual impact.
On the contrary, in the process of the true energy leaking out of the body, he gradually felt that the dull pain in the "Liangmen" and "Taiyi" points on his lower abdomen had disappeared; the numb area on the "Guanyuan" point also disappeared.
From an area the size of the mouth of a tea cup, it quickly became smaller and finally disappeared.
As the pain completely disappeared, Xiao Yuanshan felt that his mind and body had become more relaxed and at ease than ever before. It was as if a huge boulder weighing on his heart had been removed, and his energy and spirit completely returned to normal, as if he had become more than ten years younger.<
/p>
What kind of miraculous skill is this that can cure such symptoms that even the holy monks nearby are helpless?
One can only let himself seek Buddhism, but the other can cure it with a raise of his hands. It can be said to be a judgment call.
】
At this moment, although he was also an unfathomable master, in Xiao Yuanshan's mind, compared to the sweeping monk, Zhao Qing's figure had become taller and became the object of his incomparable awe.
