Chapter 542 Double cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism
Mr. Tian's words were not good, and the atmosphere in the cabin was stagnant.
Although Xiong Qiantu didn't have much dealing with this person, he was still grateful for the fact that this person not only admonished him but also changed his mind on behalf of his brothers.
Therefore, with sweaty palms, he stared at this person along with everyone in the cabin to see how he would answer so that he would not be dealt with by Tian Chengsi.
But seeing that this man was not panicking, he raised his hands and said respectfully: "I will speak out boldly! The sword of Rushui appeared in Tongyuan Canal. Mr. Tian led us to fight for it. However, first the 'male and female hegemons' disrupted the situation, and then there was another
Yuan Zai intervened, and later Prince Li Shi strongly intervened, causing Tian Gong to fail and return empty-handed.
But it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge! Ten years are not too late for a gentleman to take revenge! The reason why Mr. Tian led our elites to lurk here, sleeping on the firewood and tasting courage, is actually to show the enemy's weakness and make others mistakenly think that we, Weibo Town, have given up the fight. In this way, all parties will be able to
They will relax their vigilance and give us an opportunity to assemble good players and hide our capabilities and bide our time.
Especially in the past half month, Mojiang has occasionally received certain news. In the "Top Capital List of Two Capitals" published this year by the number one assassin gang in China, Yishui Pavilion, all outstanding masters from various sects were listed. Especially,
We have arrived in Luoyang, and almost all of the sects who want to make a name for themselves at the 'Shendu Martial Arts Conference' have their masters killed by the Yishui Pavilion assassins.
On the contrary, our Weibo Town's 'Tianxiongwei', 'Heshuo Erbasu' and 'Yan Xiameng' and other good players were directly ignored by Yishui Pavilion because they lurked here, lived in seclusion and acted in a low-key manner. To this day, they have not suffered any damage.
.When he eliminated me, my chances of winning the sword became even better."
Tian Chengsi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately smiled and said: "The words of Marquis Dong Wu are in line with my heart! All the princes in the court have always been jealous of and excluded me. Even though I have repeatedly tolerated and tolerated, I have always found faults and used excuses to make excuses.
It is said that this king does not obey the holy will and supports the army to respect himself, which makes the saint have a bad feeling towards this king.
Fortunately, the saint is quite wary of the heroes of our vassal town. Recently, he married Princess Yongle to Quanzi Tianhua and named me the "Prince of Yanmen County". Such honor and favor shows that the Sheng Dynasty has long been beyond the reach of the vassal towns in various places. It is us who
It’s time to plan a great cause with strong horses and strong troops!
This time I ask you to compete on the stage to fight for the divine sword. This is by no means a momentary rage for me and for my own personal vendetta. Rather, I want to seize the divine sword and enshrine it in the "Four Holy Temples" to show our disgrace to the barbarians in the north.
The ambition is to protect my Tian family’s name of loyalty!”
After hearing this, Dong Zhongting and Marquis Dong Wu did not dare to take credit. He clasped his fists and bowed his head and said: "Tian Gong's strategy is like the light of the sun and the moon! The general's strategy is like the light of a firefly. How dare you compare it with Tian Gong? From now on.
, Mr. Tian has a call, and the general will definitely arrive! Mr. Tian has an order, no one dares to disobey!"
When Xiong Qiantu and others heard this, how could they miss this opportunity to express their loyalty? They all turned to Tian Chengsi, clasped their hands in fists, knelt down on one knee, and said, "I will repay you with my death."
Tian Chengsi stroked his beard and laughed. After laughing, he looked at the bearded man and the others: "Although you are reckless, your crime will not lead to death. Each of you will memorize the twenty-spine staff first. When you return to Weibo Town, go to your superiors.
Just accept it!”
Xiong Qiantu knew that the situation had turned, and he immediately said with a dark face: "Shi Changgeng! Why don't you thank Mr. Tian for not killing?!"
The wild man with a beard named Shi Changgeng led all the men of the Yanxia Alliance to kowtow and weep bitterly. Knowing that Dong Zhongting's words had brought them back from the gate of hell, their previous ill feelings towards the Marquis Dong Wu disappeared.
After Dong Zhongting finished doing this, he smiled and stood aside silently. It seemed that the emotional discussion just now had nothing to do with him. The stone room at the bottom of the pool remained dark.
Wu Tianshi had just given a stack of spiritual talismans to Yang Chaoxi, but he found that his face was like a Buddha and his eyes were golden. He immediately knew that this was because he had practiced the Buddhist teachings.
After Yang Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, he understood what Master Wu Tianshi was referring to. He immediately controlled his thoughts, penetrated into the immeasurable ring, took out the stack of "Dharma Marrow Cleansing Sutra", and held it in his right hand: "This? Is it the Shimen Mind Technique?
"
When Wu Tianshi saw this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. However, he took the "Dharma Marrow Cleansing Sutra" and threw it aside. He held Yang Chaoxi's "Infinite Ring" and looked at it carefully.
Yang Chaoxi felt slightly strange, but did not say anything to stop it.
After Wu Tianshi looked at it for a while, he slowly raised his eyes, looked at him solemnly and said, "Little friend Yang! Do you know what this is?"
Yang Chaoxi just wanted to test him, so he immediately answered with confidence: "This is a jade tool. It is used to draw the bow and control the string to prevent the bow string from cutting the thumb. However, the one in Xiaodao's hand has a name, called 'Wuliang'
The ring' can be used to absorb some dead objects, which is very convenient..."
A rare expression of excitement appeared on Wu Tianshi's face, which seemed to be an exhortation, but also a warning: "Little friend Yang! Fortunately, you got this thing in this dark stone room, and no one else saw it. Otherwise, if you are stared at by a bad person,
It's enough to cause death!"
Yang Zhaoxi was shocked when he heard this: "Brother Taoist's words are a bit alarmist, right? It's just an artifact, why is it like this?"
Wu Tianshi's face was solemn, not like a joke, and he immediately explained: "This object is the 'Najie'. Together with the Sumeru bracelet, the Qiankun bag, etc., they are all magical tools for containing various objects. Rumor has it that only the immortal in the blue sky is the only one.
Only one can refine such magical weapons, and there are even fewer of them left in the world of mortals.
For ordinary people, this thing is just a portable warehouse; but for Taoist and demon cultivators, it is a priceless and rare magic weapon. If the old Taoist didn't know that there is no hope of becoming an immortal, the end is approaching,
I will also covet the 'Najie' in your hand, and I will try my best to get it."
Yang Chaoxi also broke out in a cold sweat when he heard: "A gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade?"
"Of course!"
Wu Tianshi nodded and continued, "Although Yang Xiaoyou can be regarded as a genius, he was only able to cultivate to the state of 'refining Qi' at the age of dancing elephants. But this rolling world of mortals, in the wasteland all over the world, is astonishing.
You are not the only one who is extremely talented and beautiful?
There are also many unworldly hermits and powerful cultivators who have been hiding in those poor mountains and dangerous mountains for countless years. If they catch a glimpse of you with low abilities but possessing such a magic weapon, they will probably kill someone to seize the treasure.
Therefore, this thing in your hands is really a blessing and a curse. When using it, it is best to be cautious. Either hide it from people's eyes and ears, or cover it up to avoid being remembered and causing endless trouble."
Yang Zhaoxi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, nodded heavily and said: "Thank you, Brother Wu, for reminding me! Xiaodao understands that the world is dangerous, and it is better to keep the secret of such a valuable treasure in your own belly. When you get out of here, if you have to, Xiaodao must
When using this 'infinite ring', you should at least use the sleeves of your robe as a cover."
Wu Tianshi finally showed a sense of relief on his face. Then he picked up the stack of "Dharma's Marrow Cleansing Sutra" again, with a strange expression on his face, and muttered: "It is indeed the Shimen's 'Baye Sutra'... Bodhidharma, the Marrow Cleansing Sutra..."
What is recorded in this sutra is not quite the same as the Buddhist sutras that the old Taoist has seen... Yin and Yang are two rituals, three talents and four images, the five elements are in conflict, things and I are one... and they are very consistent with the Taoist inner elixir technique..."
Yang Chaoxi was confused and wanted to ask. But seeing his focused and intoxicated look, she held back and did not say anything to disturb him.
After a long time, Wu Tianshi finally closed the "Dharma Cleansing Sutra", as if he had comprehended some ultimate principle of heaven and earth, with a look of relief on his face: "So that's it! That's it! Confucius said, 'After hearing the Tao,
It's so easy to die at night. Only today, the Taoist understands the state of mind of Saint Kong!"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
After Wu Tianshi sighed, he turned to Yang Chaoxi and said, "Little friend Yang! Do you know that you have unintentionally solved a confusion that the old Taoist has been harboring for many years! Everyone knows that the Shimen and the Taoists are incompatible with each other, but they don't know
Thousands of years ago, the two internal cultivation techniques came from the same origin."
As soon as this statement came out, it was as if it was an earth-shattering shock. Yang Chaoxi was speechless and could not recover for a long time.
Seeing that Yang Chaoxi was completely puzzled, Wu Tianshi continued: "Little friend Yang, you should know that Buddhism was introduced to Luoyang from the Han Dynasty, and the first temple allowed to be built by the Han Dynasty was the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. And Buddhism first came to China.
, but failed to spread its branches and spread the meaning of the scriptures as expected, all because the original Western teachings were incompatible with Chinese folk customs, and were even regarded as heretics by Confucian scholars.
However, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were people who were poor in classics and well-educated scholars. Based on Taoist classics, they also integrated Yin and Yang, Qihuang, Kanyu, fortune tellers, alchemists and many other miscellaneous studies to create Taoism. The people were immediately freed from chaos and poverty.
, all the ants came around, and in just a few years, it became a momentum.
Only then did the disciples of the Buddhist sect realize what the people of Middle-earth were thinking about, so they stole the teachings from their Taoist ancestors and learned many Taoist sects' methods of cultivating both life and life. Then they integrated it with the Zen skills of Tianzhu, and finally they were new and different.
Create a technique unique to Shimen.
Therefore, although the two teachings are very different, the methods of internal cultivation have many similarities. And those who can practice the two internal cultivation methods at the same time are called "Double Cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism". This is what my little friend is doing at this time.
!”
Yang Zhaoxi had a gloomy look on his face when he heard this: "It's just that Brother Wu Dao... Master Gongsun Temple once told me in the past that Buddhism and Taoism have different origins, and the techniques are even more different. It is impossible to practice them both at the same time. It is as wrong as the small Taoism."
By accident, I actually started cultivating the spiritual method of releasing the door. I wonder if it will damage the muscles and veins and lead to a demonic state?"
Wu Tianshi laughed loudly after hearing this: "What Taoist Fellow Gongsun said is correct, but also incorrect. It is said that the Shimen Mind Method only cultivates the lower Dantian, and uses the Gang Qi as its sect, and only circulates it repeatedly in the Xiao Zhou Tian. If you want to strengthen your body,
It is also necessary to practice the outer sect's boxing techniques so that the inside and outside can complement each other and integrate Zen and martial arts. Moreover, at the end of the practice, if you want to reach nirvana and ascend, you must give up your physical body, which is actually contrary to the Taoist philosophy of dual cultivation of life and life.
But Daoist fellow Gongsun, like me, has never seen this "Dharma Marrow Cleansing Sutra". I just made inferences from the past and only relied on the prejudices of my master and seniors. I don't know the inner cultivation method of this Buddhist sect.
, in fact, it is to imitate Taoism
The classics on inner alchemy practice use partial generalizations to create a set of specious exercises. Although this method is specious, it is still a unique approach. If it can be integrated into the art of inner alchemy, it will be beneficial to the practice of inner alchemy.
"
Yang Zhaoxi was surprised and happy: "So, Xiaodao became the first person in history to practice both Buddhism and Taoism?!"
Wu Tianshi curled his lips and said: "Little friend, you dare to speak arrogantly. The ancients have disappeared and there is no way to verify it. However, I know two people in recent times who can cultivate both Buddhism and Taoism. One is Wang Jin, the envoy of Taiwei Palace.
The other one is Wei Chiyuan, the master of Hongdao Temple."
Yang Zhaoxi couldn't believe it: "There is actually a Yuchi Temple Master?!"
