"Amitabha, Your Majesty, since you have a detailed understanding of Shaolin, you should know that the way to practice martial arts should be gradual. If Your Majesty, you have no foundation, you must practice superior martial arts. It is like a castle in the sky without roots. Therefore, you always take the first place.
The level is to test your martial arts foundation, haha, as long as you defeat this incompetent little novice like me, you will be considered a pass."
This time Zhishan didn't talk nonsense. He pointed directly at the young novice Wu Neng standing beside him and said to Li Xian with a smile.
"That's fine, I agree." Li Xian looked at the little novice monk named Wu Neng next to him. Although he felt that this man must have good martial arts skills, he was not convinced and said calmly.
"Haha, Wuneng, please be gentler later, don't hurt the king." Zhishan stroked his long beard on his chest, and said with a smile while leading Li Xian to the inner room. Although on the surface it was
What he said to Wu Neng was actually meant for Li Xian.
Li Xian was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "I have also learned some fists and kicks from the officers of the royal palace, and now I just want to see if it works. Little master, you can use your best."
While talking, several people entered the inner room. Li Xian took off his long-distance running shoes and stood casually opposite Wu Neng, looking playful and contented. However, Wu Neng opposite him was not like that. He changed his previous submissive image.
He steadied his horse and set up his stance, looking as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Not to mention, this look actually had a bit of a Yuan Ting Yue Zhi posture. No wonder the abbot master praised him so much.
But at this time, Master Xuanzang frowned in displeasure, and then complained to Master Zhishan: "As soon as an expert takes action, he will know if there is any. Although I have never studied martial arts, I can also see that the King of Zhou has no martial arts foundation.
How can I compare with you, a disciple who has been practicing martial arts for three years? Isn’t it boring for Master Abbot to embarrass his young disciple like this? How about changing another question and trying it again?"
However, Master Abbot had a serious look on his face and said with a wry smile: "Master Xuanzang, why are you trying to ridicule me? Your disciple seems casual, but your position and footwork are just right, which is convenient for both defense and offense. Although my apprentice has several years of skill,
If you don’t respond well, you may fail.”
"Oh? Is this true?" Xuanzang couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he heard this. He didn't believe it at first, but looking at Li Xian's nonchalant look, he knew that the other party must be full of confidence, because he had known this person since he
As soon as the little guy came, how many of his calculations had he made?
At this time, after Li Xian and Wu Neng had finished saluting, they had already started fighting.
At first, Xuanzang saw that Wu Neng was dancing vigorously with his fists, and was in an absolute advantage in attacking, while Li Xianjing was dodging, and he couldn't help but secretly sweat. Seeing that the little novice's fists were very strong, Li Xian only needed to be punched.
I'm afraid it will fall immediately.
Although Li Xian is not a thing and even his master plots against him, he is his disciple after all. If he loses here, he will lose his face. How can he not be anxious?
So Xuanzang looked at Zhishan, thinking about how to help Li Xian, but saw Zhishan's brows furrowed, with a worried expression. Seeing that Zhishan's worried expression did not seem to be hypocritical, he couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that Li Xian was not only
Rather than being at a disadvantage, isn't it possible that we are at an advantage?
After all, Xuanzang was a great monk who had practiced Buddhist meditation. He continued to observe calmly, and after a while he gradually discovered the secret. It turned out that although Wu Neng seemed to be terrifying, he was still beaten by Li every time.
He managed to escape the danger yet narrowly. If he looked closely, he found that Li Xian's embarrassment was actually an act. In fact, he was as relaxed and casual as if he were strolling in a garden. He always acted ahead of Wu Neng.
And every time he stopped taking action, it was exactly where Wu Neng couldn't hit.
"I didn't expect this little guy to secretly learn this set of boxing skills in advance. Even if he didn't learn it, he must have a very good understanding of the methods of this set of boxing skills. Only then can he avoid the opponent's attack in time. Hehe, it seems that I
As expected, this disciple is so secretive that even I can’t see through it, and I don’t know how many years this disciple has been preparing for today?”
Xuanzang's expression could be regarded as one of surprise and surprise. He watched the battle between the two with fixed eyes, and soon strengthened his judgment, thinking that there would be no suspense about Li Xian's victory this time.
Sure enough, not long after, Li Xian was seen ducking in advance not far behind Wuneng. At this time, Wuneng happened to come to the side and in front, strangled Li Xian and took the initiative to give his back to Li Xian.
Xian was naturally rude and took advantage of the opportunity when the opponent had finished one move and had not yet started another move. He stretched out his palm and pushed the opponent's back forward slightly, only to see that Wu Neng could not hold his feet back at all.
, and fell to the ground with a plop.
"It turns out that your Majesty is also proficient in Arhat Boxing. It's no wonder. When I, the Thirteen-stick Shaolin monks, assisted Emperor Taizong, Arhat Boxing was also spread among the army. It's not difficult for Your Majesty to learn it. Anyway, this level is considered your Majesty's.
That’s it after that.”
Although Zhishan knew that the reason why Li Xian won was to predict the opponent's punches in advance and take advantage of the situation, since he had not made such a rule before, he could only admit defeat generously.
Although Li Xian shouted for concession, he also secretly said that he was lucky, because according to the real combat effectiveness, even if Wu Neng is not as good as himself, the difference is definitely not that big. Maybe he can win, but he will inevitably be beaten.
If the opponent punches him a few times, even if he is not injured, he will definitely not feel good.
However, Zhishan's judgment was also wrong, because in order to cover up his intention to learn martial arts, Li Xian did not find anyone to practice martial arts in the past five years. He just practiced his physical fitness secretly in a place where no one was around. The reason why he was able to break through
The easy victory over Wu Neng was all due to his memory of Shaolin Luohan Boxing in his previous life.
Due to well-known reasons, as a tomb robber, he often encountered infighting among his associates. In order to save their lives, or even to kill their associates and steal their property, they generally practiced martial arts. As a rule at that time,
The most widely spread Shaolin boxing method is naturally the first to bear the brunt.
However, Li Xian was not sure whether Shaolin Luohan Boxing in the Tang Dynasty 1,500 years ago was the same as that of later generations. So at first, he just dodged according to his instinctive reaction, but later found out that although after a while
After fifteen hundred years, the boxing technique had not changed at all. Only then did he finally feel relieved. After teasing Wu Neng enough, he took action to defeat him.
"The first level has been passed, so what about the second level?" Li Xian was not in a hurry. But Xuanzang seemed to be unable to sit still. As soon as the battle was over, he couldn't help but ask Zhishan.
"The first priority in practicing martial arts is virtue, the second is physical fitness, the third is defense against enemies, and the third is killing. You need to know that killing people is one of the five precepts of our Buddhism. The sin is extremely evil. Even if the reason for eliminating evil is to promote good, it is still
Sins need to be repented of at all times. Therefore, only those who have advanced in practice can practice superior kung fu. They know the severity of their actions and do not hurt others at will. Therefore, the second level of Lao Na is to test the practice of the Great King's Dharma.
.We, the Shaolin Zen sect, use martial arts to enter Zen. It is the so-called dual cultivation of Zen and martial arts. Today, Lao Na does not embarrass the king. He only needs to make a stanza. If there is any merit, how about it be considered as the king's approval?"
After Zhishan finished speaking, he looked at Xuanzang again and said with a little pride.
When Xuanzang heard this, he immediately became displeased and said to Zhishan: "Although my disciple is intelligent, he is only six years old. How can he say a gatha? Are you not deliberately making things difficult for him? If you ask my disciple to make a gatha,
But it’s not difficult, I’ll let you disciple me first and then I’ll talk about it.”
In fact, Xuanzang did not really intend to protect Li Xian this time, mainly because he was nominally Li Xian's master and had only taught one volume of the Heart Sutra in the past five years. If Zhishan knew the truth, his master's face would be lost.
Chu Fang pretended to be indignant and complained about his apprentice.
Unexpectedly, Zhishan seemed to have seen through his thoughts and refused to comply. He shook his head and said: "My disciple is dull and cannot understand the essence of Zen. Therefore, I did not teach him the superior Shaolin martial arts. Otherwise, how could he be defeated by you?"
Under this disciple?"
"You are really unreasonable." Xuanzang saw that the other party did not buy it now. Although he was anxious, he was helpless for the moment.
Just at this time, I heard Li Xian say slowly: "Whether the Dharma is born from the heart or dies from the heart. Who is responsible for the birth and death? Please judge for yourself. Since it is all in your own mind, why should others say it? Just tell me.
Hard work, twisting out the blood in the iron. Tied with a velvet rope to pierce the nose, tie the knot of the void. Tie it to the Wuwei tree, don't let him be deceived. Don't regard the thief as your son, he will forget all his thoughts. Don't teach him to hide it from me, just one punch
First, make it clear. There is no intention to show the intention, and there is no intention to show the Dharma. When the man and the cow are gone, the blue sky is bright and clear. The autumn moon is as round as the moon, and it is difficult to distinguish one from the other."
"Ah? This..." After listening to Li Xian's gatha, even though he has been practicing Zhishan for many years, he has already reached the state where the eight winds are immovable. Now he is deeply shocked, because although this gatha is not long, it is a clear heart.
Seeing Nature is extremely consistent with the essence of Zen Buddhism. It would be impossible for any of my disciples to produce such masterpieces without more than ten years of practice.
In fact, it was not just Zhishan who was shocked by Li Xian. Even Li Xian's master, Master Xuanzang, was surprised because he only taught Li Xian the Heart Sutra once, but this man could actually write a piece of it so quickly.
A gatha that contains the main idea of the Heart Sutra, such a qualification is simply like a monster.
Although Xuanzang had perfected his eyesight and knew that Li Xian came to this world with the memories of his previous life, and that his actions in his previous life had both great good and great evil, he did not know exactly which time and space Li Xian's previous life was in.
Therefore, the details of Li Xian are not completely clear, let alone that a thousand years later, a man named Wu Chengen wrote a "Journey to the West" with him as the protagonist, and wrote such a verse that contains the main theme of the Heart Sutra.
"Master Abbot, I wonder if the stanza written by Xiao Wang is still valid?" Li Xian saw the look of surprise on Zhi Shan's face, and felt proud in his heart, but on the surface, he had a look of sincerity and fear, and he even spoke cautiously. This chapter has been completed!
