The autumn wind is bleak and the Double Ninth Festival is approaching. Hengshan Mountain, located south of the Great Wall, is already covered with withered yellow. The peaks of Hengshan Mountain, which is already dangerous, look more and more quiet and towering.
In a large tiled house on the west side of the main peak Jianxing Peak, Zheng Gui was wearing a black monk's robe and was holding a copy of the Lotus Sutra and reciting it.
After a while, Zheng Gui put down the Buddhist scriptures, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "If you are not superstitious in pursuing the so-called magical power of Buddhism, and just seek the enlightenment and wisdom of my Zen sect, this Buddhist scriptures will really be the door to convenience...
"
After several years of reciting Buddhist scriptures, Zheng Gui's understanding of Buddhism gradually deepened. In addition, as he had just come out of the great calamity of life and death, and with the accumulation of various insights, he felt that his mental cultivation had greatly improved.
At this time, half a month had passed since Zheng Gui returned to Hengshan from Yaoshi Liuli'an in Jiaxing. When he returned to Shuiyue'an, the two parents, Dingxian and Dingjing, discussed Dingyi and Zheng Gui's layout in western Zhejiang and eastern Zhejiang.
At the same time, Dingxian, as the leader, also severely reprimanded Zheng Gui and Dingyi for not communicating with each other, which actually caused Yun Wuchao of the Haisha Gang to embark on a desperate road to death.
The last part was to punish Zheng Gui for his killing spree in the Qiantang River, and the other part was to protect Zheng Gui from going astray. Master Dingxian ordered Zheng Gui to shut up at Jianxing Peak and practice with peace of mind.
After Zheng Gui's battle with the Haisha Gang, he also realized that his martial arts was not second-rate or third-rate, but he should practice hard for a while.
So he didn't bargain, and settled in the tiled house in Fengxi peacefully. Every day he either recited Buddhist scriptures or practiced internal skills and swordsmanship. Although it had only been half a month, Zheng Gui, who had experienced life and death, seemed to have opened up.
A certain kind of door, I am becoming more and more comfortable in cultivating internal skills, and I feel that my progress seems to be faster than before.
Zheng Gui's physical body is already eighteen years old. He has been practicing Hengshan martial arts for nearly five years. Although his external and internal skills have not yet become popular, he has made some achievements, so his foundation is considered solid. He thought of the master
The senior sister and the senior sister gave me many words to guide me in my cultivation. After thinking about it over and over again, I can always gain new insights, and I know that it is because my realm has improved.
Zheng Gui knew very well that the world he lived in had demons, ghosts, and various mythical legends. He had long believed that it was a world of high martial arts or even fantasy that was much higher than the power system of Swordsman. Therefore, he cherished the fact that he was learning martial arts in Swordsman.
Progressive experience.
So I didn't think about it, I just practiced my martial arts with peace of mind, and even the original plan to go to the Lin family's old house in Fuzhou to look for the evil sword manual was forgotten.
Zheng Gui knew that although the anti-evil sword technique was powerful, it was not the right path to martial arts. As a monk, he should practice upright martial arts to lay the foundation, so he never wanted to practice the anti-evil sword technique.
The original plan for the group to go to western Zhejiang and transfer to Fuzhou was just to see the evil-fighting swordsmanship and increase their knowledge. At the same time, they also wanted to master this martial arts that triggered the development of the plot of The Swordsman and defuse Zuo Lengchan's subsequent push to merge the Five Sacred Mountains.
The conspiracy of the Sword Sect.
However, due to various accidents, Zheng Gui's party from the west of Zhejiang did not go to Fuzhou. He thought that Lin Pingzhi might have just been born at this time and would still have 18 or 19 years to live, so he put aside the evil sword manual.
Compared to the Huashan Sword Sect, which pursues superb external skills and quick success, Zheng Gui's views on martial arts are similar to those of the Qi Sect. He has always known that if he wants to practice to the highest level, he must rely on deep internal skills.
It’s not a foundation, so I’m happy to practice behind closed doors at the Peak of Seeing Nature.
Zheng Gui didn't know that it was precisely because he could endure loneliness, experienced the catastrophe of life and death, and had a solid foundation that he had made great progress in Buddhist practice without knowing it, and he had the recognition of his identity as a time traveler.
, so he has thoroughly understood the concepts of fame and wealth and life and death, which makes his recent practice more convenient and faster.
Zheng Gui put the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" aside, put his thoughts back, and said softly: "Today, I can be considered a true introduction to martial arts."
After muttering a few words to himself, Zheng Gui stood up, took the Longquan Sword and began to practice the Hengshan Sword Technique indoors. He slowly came to understand this superior sword technique, which is more defensive than offensive and has rigorous moves.
The whistling wind suddenly sounded in the room. As Zheng Gui's moves changed, the wind sometimes became strong and sometimes turned into a roar. Even the Buddhist scriptures on the table were blown by the sword wind, causing the pages to turn and make a herald sound.
After the howling and the wind stopped, the originally simple room became quite messy. Zheng Gui held the long sword in his hand and closed his eyes in meditation. After a long time, he sighed softly and said: "The swordsmanship of Hengshan comes from compassion. Killing moves."
It is rare, but it is included in the defensive moves, and there is an endless business. It is really the best martial arts in Buddhism, and the Patriarch Xiaofeng I sent must be a great virtuous nun..."
Zheng Gui suddenly remembered that the sweeping monk in The Eight Tribes of the Dragon once said: Shaolin martial arts were passed down from Patriarch Bodhidharma. Buddhist disciples learn martial arts to strengthen their bodies, protect the law and subdue demons. When practicing any martial arts, they always have compassion in their hearts.
Kind thoughts. If you do not base yourself on Buddhism, you will definitely hurt yourself when practicing martial arts. The deeper you practice kung fu, the more serious your injuries will be...
Xiao Yuanshan, Murong Bo, and Jiumozhi were all inevitably affected by this. Zheng Gui estimated that Buddhist martial arts required Buddhism to purify the violent energy of martial arts. If they failed, they would suffer from obstacles in martial arts and lose hope of improvement, or they would become possessed and even die tragically on the spot.
Now that Zheng Gui's own Buddhist cultivation has become more and more advanced, he naturally began to understand the essence of the Hengshan School's Buddhist martial arts. He put away the Longquan Sword. As a pragmatist, Zheng Gui's heart did not have the compassion of a great monk.
, but I also feel quite bright and happy.
Suddenly there were several sounds of stroking hands outside the door. Zheng Gui quickly pushed the door open and saw the smiling Master Dingxian, Yihe and several other nuns.
"Senior Sister, why are you here?"
Zheng Gui hurriedly saluted, Dingxian smiled and lifted him up, saying: "If I didn't come, I wouldn't be able to hear the sound of my junior brother practicing swordsmanship. In just a few dozen days, your swordsmanship has already come to the fore. It's really rare."
Zheng Gui cupped his hands and turned sideways, saying: "Senior sister, you are so complimentary. What does my meager behavior mean in front of you?"
Dingxian smiled and said nothing, walked into the room and said: "Junior brother, there is no need to make tea. I heard that you have been practicing peacefully recently, so I came here to have a look. I saw that you looked very good and your eyes were bright and restrained. I knew it.
It turns out that I can practice with peace of mind and my skills have improved."
"What did the head sister mean by punishing me to shut up and think about my mistakes? I know that now the Demon Sect is becoming more and more powerful under the leadership of Ren Woxing, and our Songshan Sect of the Five Mountains Sword Sect is also prospering. I know that you, the head of Hengshan, are inevitably worried about the future of good and evil.
Zheng, since I am a disciple of our Hengshan Sect, I will naturally not slack off..."
Seeing that Zheng Gui's face was sincere and his words were quite satisfactory to him, Dingxian smiled and nodded, saying: "It is our Hengshan sect's blessing that you can think so."
Zheng Gui sat down and talked with Dingxian, while Yihe and other nuns went to get water to make tea. After a while, they brought two cups of hot water.
Dingxian took a sip and said: "I feel relieved to see that you have made such progress. Mr. Yue of the Huashan Sect and Ning Nuxia will get married next month. He is now the leader of the Huashan Sect. His status is extraordinary. I want to return."
Baiyun Temple prepares gifts, so there will be no delay. If you are a good student, you must restrain your murderous intention, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the threshold of the first class in the world. Remember..."
