Chapter 57 Preaching and Teaching (Part 2) (Please follow up)
As Zheng Gui taught the basic martial arts of the Hengshan Sect to all the disciples of Baozhu Temple after the Shangyuan Festival, the disciples in Baozhu Temple fell into a busy state throughout the first month and February.
The novices get up before dawn every day and are busy doing horse steps and practicing boxing and kicking. Then they go to the Main Hall to chant sutras and have morning classes. After that, they go to Xiangji Kitchen to have breakfast, and then go to each hall in twos and threes to take duty.
If there are pilgrims and believers who come to burn incense and worship Buddha, they will receive them. If no one disturbs them, they will practice martial arts and compete with each other. The martial arts atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, and it is more lively and lively than before the martial arts practice.
Zheng Gui would personally instruct his direct disciples and lay disciples after the 25th of every month. During the rest of the time, Yi Guang and others would instruct his junior disciples.
Baozhu Temple is a newly built temple, and the presiding abbot, Zen Master Ding Ding, is not very famous, so the temple is not very popular on weekdays, and only one or two pilgrims come every three or five days.
However, the Hengshan Sect has the property of its subordinates, as well as the businesses of external forces, and the families of officials and gentry in various provinces have donated money and materials. Even if there is no money for incense, Baozhu Temple can still provide food, clothing, housing and transportation for more than a hundred people.
Precisely because the incense was not strong, the disciples of Baozhu Temple had more time to practice martial arts and study Buddhism intensively. Therefore, after half a year, all of the more than a hundred disciples were proficient in fist and foot grappling, and their bodies were much stronger than before.
, especially more than half of the teenagers, who are so big that they look like adults at first glance.
Zheng Gui was very satisfied with Yiguang's performance in the past six months. Yiguang gradually shared the responsibility for the temple's affairs. After the other disciples became successful in martial arts, they no longer needed his constant guidance. Even if they needed guidance and teaching, Yiguang could do it for them.
Thinking that Yi Guang had been busy with secular affairs for the past six months and had far less time to practice martial arts than before, Zheng Gui specially called Yi Guang to the abbot's room and taught him one after another the superior swordsmanship of the Hengshan School.
As Yiguang lived in Buddhism for longer and longer, he had almost forgotten his original life. He did not practice his original martial arts for more than half a year. The internal skills and swordsmanship of the Hengshan School gradually became popular.
Yi Guang was filled with joy after receiving many excellent sword skills. After thanking him, he carefully noted them down and began to practice with concentration.
While Yiguang was studying swordsmanship intensively, Zheng Gui also summarized the practice progress of his disciples, and then selected more than twenty disciples with the best understanding and qualifications to teach Hengshan Heart Method and Hengshan Swordsmanship.
After a few months, the more than 20 top disciples with good qualifications had mastered the Hengshan Mental Technique and Sword Technique. Zheng Gui ordered Yi Guang to teach the disciples on his behalf, and also to the other disciples.
Began to teach internal skills, mental skills and sword skills.
As his disciples' martial arts gradually got on the right track, and their disciples helped with the affairs of the temple, Zheng Gui was able to devote himself wholeheartedly to practicing and studying Buddhism.
Zheng Gui studied Buddhism intensively in order to stay in the world of Xiaoao Jianghu for a long time. He practiced martial arts in order to change the destiny of the Hengshan Sect in the future. It was also to equip himself with peerless martial arts, so that when he returned to his true form, he, who lacked the superpower of cultivation, could
In the world of martial arts, people with basic qualifications directly possess good skills and usable martial arts.
Zheng Gui used the magic power of the Samsara Pearl to travel through the small world, and when he came to the Swordsman plane, he initially thought that he could worship in Shaolin and learn the magical "Yi Jin Jing". After all, this magical skill was the Shaolin Temple's magical skill.
, it is not only a supreme inner strength and mental method, but also has the magical effect of healing injuries and diseases, cleansing the marrow with the I Ching, and improving qualifications.
Zheng Gui's body lacks the basic qualifications to truly enter into practice. Even if he forcibly practices the simplest external martial arts, Zheng Gui can only get started with the practice of "Xiong Yao Jin". To describe him as doing twice the result with half the effort is already too high.
Without the unexpected encounters and changes, Zheng Gui would not have been able to develop any internal skills at all, and he would never have been able to reach the realm that the monks of the Mahavira Monastery could achieve throughout his life.
Although the levels and levels of power in this world and the Swordsman plane are different, and the systems should also be very different. The Yi Jin Jing may not be able to help Zheng Gui much, but Zheng Gui feels that as long as he can change his basic qualifications from "unbearable"
"One-time use and unable to practice" is promoted to "ordinary qualifications that are difficult to hold big positions". This proud and proud journey has completed its merits.
So when Zheng Gui traveled through time, he wanted to worship in the Shaolin Temple. However, after resurrecting from the beggar who had been dead for a long time, he faced the rampant bandits, epidemics, language, and roads that were completely unknown and penniless.
In this dilemma, if Zheng Gui wants to survive, he can only find a way to survive first, and then explore the famous mountain sect.
After weighing the difficulty of going to Shaolin Temple and worshiping the eminent monks, Zheng Gui, who did not dare to take risks, could only proceed from the principle of proximity and climbed Mount Hengshan to worship the Hengshan sect.
The path of spiritual practice.
After worshiping in Hengshan, Zheng Gui gradually understood the rules of various factions in the Jianghu, and felt filled with fear in his heart.
Although the Hengshan sect does not have any sect rules not to accept male disciples, it has not accepted male disciples since the establishment of the sect, and it is not appropriate for monks and nuns to live together. Therefore, if Master Cixin was not too open-minded and eclectic, Zheng Gui would have been
Moved by the expression of Buddha nature and wisdom, Zheng Gui's trip to Hengshan was probably in vain.
Compared with the Shaolin Temple, the Hengshan Sect is a small family with fewer rules. Master Cixin accepted Zheng Gui as a junior disciple, and there were only three senior sisters in his generation, so he quickly began to practice his own martial arts.
Years later, he was able to pass on superior martial arts.
However, the hierarchy of the Shaolin Temple is very strict and there are many rules. Even if Zheng Gui was lucky enough to make it to Songshan Mountain alive and worship in the Shaolin Temple, unless his wisdom and Buddha nature can impress the abbot or the senior monk of Fang generation, he would have to start from the miscellaneous temple.
Started as a monk.
According to the rules of the Shaolin Temple, it would take several years of inspection to see that Zheng Gui's character and character were good before a junior monk would accept him as a disciple and then enter the Luohan Hall to practice.
When Master Dingxian commented on the major sects in the world, he mentioned that Shaolin once said that after Shaolin disciples get started, they must first learn Shaolin Changquan. After they are familiar with it, they can learn Luohan Quan, and then learn Fuhu Quan. Once the internal and external skills are quite basic, they can learn it.
Skanda Palm, Thousand Hands of Great Compassion, etc.
When you have mastered the skills, you can learn the Scattering Flower Palm and Paramita Hands. After learning these, you can enter Bodhidharma Academy to study the most exquisite skills of the temple, such as One-finger Zen, Vajra Finger, Dragon Claw Hand, etc.
According to the progression method of martial arts training in Shaolin Temple, even if you start practicing martial arts at the age of ten, you will still be in your forties when you reach the highest level of martial arts. As for the magical skills of Yi Jin Jing, not only should it be done in this order, but also more urgently.
What is more important is that one must be of noble status and become an eminent monk of the temple or the head of a certain monastery. Otherwise, one is not qualified to teach magical powers.
Therefore, unless Zheng Gui has the aura of the protagonist and worships Fang Zheng or other first eminent monks of the Fang generation, and is extremely talented and can practice to the level of a first-class master within twenty years, otherwise he will not have the qualifications and opportunity to learn Yi Jin.
It's magical.
Because of this, Zheng Gui has no regrets at all for not being able to enter the Shaolin Temple. Instead, he feels that all dharma is empty and everything has a cause. All he needs to do is live a good life and practice. How can he demand that his practice is not the best in the world?
