Zhang Mingtu deeply felt the gap between himself and the family that truly stood at the top of this world, but he did not feel discouraged.
Now, after several generations of hard work, if we just talk about the accumulation of knowledge, he is not inferior to them, surpassing the vast majority of people in this world, and what they lack is only related to resources.
Zhang Mingtu still has full confidence in the future.
He planned to put the Book of Life and Death away, but after a while Zhang Mingtu discovered that the fifth level of records that needed to be specially marked by the future brother slowly appeared on the Book of Life and Death.
"besides?"
Zhang Mingtu was stunned for a moment.
He recalled the general life of that person, and could not imagine why there was a fifth level.
However, he still looked over seriously, and after taking one look, his heart moved again.
"Kurong Sutra?"
The introduction to this magical secret book is quite brief and not detailed enough. There are only three words. But Zhang Mingtu took a look and felt a sense of surprise in his heart. This is the famous martial arts of Zen Master Kurong of Donglin Temple.
"He actually still has the famous martial arts of Zen Master Kurong?"
Zhang Mingtu has not seen relevant records in the life recorded in the Book of Life and Death, but after thinking about it, it seems reasonable, as the controller of Donglin Temple.
Contemporary Donglin is the most outstanding Buddhist genius, and he has made Buddhist disciples of other sects lose face and made Donglin Temple shine in the Buddhist forum.
Donglin Temple must have attached great importance to such a character, as can be seen from many related introductions in the Book of Life and Death.
That future brother has been a very valued and respected future genius of Donglin Temple for a long time.
He is known as the person most likely to become a martial saint in Donglin Temple, and even in the entire Buddhist generation.
It was not until he later discussed Taoism with Zen Master Kurong that this trend was suppressed. Zhang Mingtu was trapped at the last threshold in front of the realm of the Martial Saint, with no way to cross it.
It is not a judgment made by others, but a judgment made by a martial saint from Donglin Temple.
Later it was proved that Zen Master Kurong's judgment was not wrong at all, and he was right.
Zhang Mingtu is indeed invincible because of his fellow practitioners' many magical skills, and at the same time, he is stuck before the realm of martial saint.
That threshold is quite difficult to cross. Zhang Mingtu tried to break through, but in the end it proved that Zhang Mingtu failed.
However, although knowing that the final result was likely to be failure, Donglin Temple still tried to make changes in the past. The Kurong Sutra was the change made by Zen Master Kurong.
When Zhang Mingtu stared at the Ku Rong Sutra, vaguely related memories emerged in his mind.
"The road you are taking is very bumpy, and you basically cannot see the future, but it is not completely without opportunities.
"The reason why it is difficult for you to break through as a Martial Saint is because many of the top magical arts are conflicting with each other. You usually use a unique magical technique to fuse and control them together to prevent them from breaking out. There are even the most powerful ones in the same realm.
You have strong strength, but I think you can also feel the power in your body, but a large part of it is restricted and restricted.
"It's okay to maintain this state in normal times, but it's definitely not okay to become a Martial Saint.
"The moment when you become a Martial Saint, all the life essence is burning. It is the most high-spirited and high-spirited time in a person's life, and of course it is also the most dangerous time.
"Any slight flaw or defect will be magnified countless times, and the conflict between different magical powers will be magnified to the maximum..."
"Any magical skill that can lead to the achievement of a martial saint represents the lifelong spiritual thoughts and pursuits of a top person. Such thoughts are often extremely pure and do not tolerate other impurities.
"It wasn't obvious before the Martial Saint, but the conflict became more intense in the later stages.
"If you want to ease this conflict, you must choose a path.
"You have to be clear about what your path is. Is it the great wish made by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, vowing not to become a Buddha until hell is empty, or is it the one in the Supreme Sutra of Explanation of Wrongs for All Living Beings that eradicates the suffering of all living beings and makes all living beings feel grateful?"
?
"From my point of view, if you want to follow this path, you must achieve a delicate balance of various magical skills. The main point of cultivation in the Ku Rong Sutra is to grasp life and death, yin and yang.
"Withering and prosperity are the ultimate in all things in the world. Principle is the way of nature. All things have their causes. There will be times when there is prosperity and prosperity, and there will also be times when they age and wither. The Sutra of Withering and Rong is to put people between withering and prosperity, as if
Dry but not bitter, seemingly prosperous but not prosperous, maintain this constant state and keep your body at its peak at any time...
"You may want to refer to this special mental state and this delicately balanced spiritual concept."
Zen Master Kurong's words were serious and thoughtful, and he had the experience of becoming a martial sage. The suggestions he made from a high position had very important reference significance and were very important to Zhang Mingtu.
In fact, this top Zen Master Kurong also made another suggestion, asking Zhang Mingtu to abolish the Taishang Three Lives Explanation of Wrongs and only practice the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra.
Zhang Mingtu once received the inheritance of Jianzhen and became a martial sage, and his practice and spiritual thoughts throughout his life are very consistent with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra. There is a high probability that he can break through and become a martial sage.
As long as you take this road, it will be smooth all the way without any major problems.
It's just that Zhang Mingtu's Dragon and Tiger Boxing Sutra and these two top techniques are so entangled with each other that it's difficult to distinguish them from each other, and it's difficult to abolish a single technique.
Therefore, Zhang Mingtu could only take the more difficult path. Zhang Mingtu was quite sorry before, feeling that he was too arrogant before.
You have to practice many of the most advanced magical skills, and you have to think that you are one of those protagonists like Long Aotian.
After truly embarking on this path, Zhang Ming discovered that as a person like Long Aotian, he was born with nine lives, and even nine lives were not enough.
He died a lot just by practicing the Dragon and Tiger Boxing Sutra. After that, after barely balancing the dragon and tiger yin and yang, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra and the Taishang Three Lives Explanation of Wrongs caused him to encounter many problems and dilemmas.
Practicing the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra has also encountered several major thresholds. For normal people to take this path, a few lives are not enough, and they will never reach the end.
If it weren't for the book of life and death, and if there weren't so many future brothers who were tricking him step by step, he would have died long ago.
But now he is faced with a choice again. Now he has not become a master, and many of his methods are in the early stages.
If Zhang Mingtu is willing to abandon several other techniques and practice the Bodhisattva's Purpose Sutra alone, then go to the area where Donglin Temple is located, saying that he has received the Jianzhen inheritance and is a Buddhist of this generation.
With Zhang Mingtu's understanding of Buddhism accumulated at the level of Grand Master and his understanding of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra, he is very likely to become a Buddhist disciple vigorously cultivated by Donglin Temple.
With the help of Donglin Temple's ability, he can become a Grandmaster in a very short period of time. Zhang Mingtu is even sure that he will reach the pinnacle of Grandmaster within ten years and try to break through to the Martial Saint.
If this road was a pretty good one before, Zhang Mingtu would really be tempted, but now he is a little hesitant.
The Martial Saint is at the pinnacle of heaven and earth. In Daxia, he is known as the Living True Dragon. He is extremely carefree and carefree. He is a true terrestrial god-like figure in this world.
With the strength of a martial saint, many situations can be changed, whether it is the border in the north or the southeast coast, one person can push it.
There may still be some problems with the barbarians at the Arctic border. After all, there are great wizards and great shamans hidden among them. However, along the southeast coast, there is no full-scale attack in the Land of the Rising Sun. No martial saint appears.
The Holy Spirit can indeed dominate the entire southeastern coast.
And in many cases, there is no need to use pure force to protect the status of all Martial Saint-level figures. Directly describe the situation related to the Northland border and the southeast coast to the top, revealing one's own attitude. Naturally, the Northland and Southeast
The problems along the coast will be solved.
Even after becoming a Martial Saint, as long as Zhang Mingtu expresses his support for the Crown Prince or the Third Prince, no matter it is the Crown Prince or the Third Prince, they will use the greatest power of their lineage to change the status of these two places in order to win the favor of a Martial Saint.
.
After all, in the eyes of the royal family of Daxia, the problems in the southeastern coastal area and the border areas in the north are not big, at least not big compared to their throne.
Standing at a higher level and looking at the problem from a higher level, the problem becomes simpler and not as confusing as it was at first.
In the beginning, even the son of a county magistrate was able to make Zhang Mingtu unable to go to heaven and to the earth.
Today's major issues that can affect the country's situation are not insurmountable difficulties before him, but this is a road Zhang Mingtu doesn't want to take.
If I hadn't seen that smooth line falling from the sky at the end, the Buddha who was thousands of feet high would melt and disintegrate, and the hanging mountain that would never fall would fall to the ground.
Zhang Mingtu would choose to abolish other methods and become a martial saint.
After all, if you practice many of the most advanced methods, you can indeed be invincible at the same level, but no matter how invincible you are at the same level, you can't defeat people at a higher level.
A Martial Saint can easily break Zhang Mingtu's invincible posture and make Zhang Mingtu die a violent death.
A higher realm is what more people pursue. Being invincible at the same realm is indeed pursued by many people. It is what every protagonist who is destined to see in Zhang Mingtu pursues.
But a higher realm is fundamental.
"If one achieves martial sage by relying on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra, can he block that light?"
Zhang Mingtu asked himself, and finally shook his head. He had no confidence.
The thousands-foot-long Buddha of Pure Land Sect can be said to be the accumulation of Pure Land Sect over hundreds of years and is the final foundation.
In terms of the accumulation of Zhen Gang alone, it is more powerful than a figure at the level of a Martial Saint.
This is the greatest foundation of this sect that has been around for almost a thousand years, but such a powerful Buddha is like a child in front of that beam of light.
Zhang Mingtu is very confident in Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra. With Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra, he has achieved the strength of a martial sage. His realm is absolutely extremely powerful. However, compared with the thousand-foot-tall Buddha and the nearly thousand years of accumulation on the Xuankong Mountain, Zhang Mingtu does not feel that he can
Take advantage.
"Become a martial saint, live freely in heaven and earth for ten years, and then die in the greatest disaster?"
Zhang Mingtu whispered, the horrific disaster twenty years later was weighing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Even now when he thought of that pure and sacred white light, he felt uneasy.
The most holy thing in heaven and earth, but it possesses the most terrifying power.
"I have learned many magical skills and are invincible at the same level. After becoming a martial saint, I can still maintain a great advantage. Maybe there will be a partial turnaround in that disaster..."
Zhang Mingtu saw people who practiced Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra and became martial saints at Osu Guanyin Temple in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Jian Zhen was left there. After becoming a Martial Saint, hundreds of years later, the Martial Saint's body remained unchanged and his golden body was immortal. It could be said that he was extremely powerful.
But it didn't give Zhang Mingtu the feeling of being invincible.
Yu Zhifu, who is known as the body of a true dragon, became a martial saint, which did not give Zhang Mingtu the feeling of being unpredictable.
"Perhaps fellow practitioners with the most powerful supernatural powers in many disciplines can find a different path."
If Zhang Mingtu chose this path before because he didn't know how difficult it was, now he chooses this path because he understands how difficult it is, but still wants to try it.
"Anyway, I have many brothers. If I ask one brother after another to find a way for me, I don't believe that this is a dead end. There will always be a way out."
Zhang Mingtu gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth.
After becoming extremely powerful in martial arts, he realized a lot of things. In this world, martial arts is the foundation for his life.
The more tyrannical you are, the freer you are and the more choices you have.
Having made a decision in his heart, Zhang Mingtu did not completely give up on the other path he had speculated on.
"I plan to take the longest road in this world, but that doesn't mean I can't take other roads."
"After all, no matter how much other people know about me, they don't know as much about my own situation as I do. The judgments about me from Yu Zhifu, from the sword master, and from Zen Master Kurong of Donglin Temple are not as good as my own grasp of myself.
Accurate and subtle.”
"Anyway, my future brother has more lives. I can give it a try in the next round and ask my future brother to abolish several other related training techniques and practice one alone to achieve a breakthrough and become a martial saint. Then I can look back and see what I have done
Look at the path you have traveled, see what shortcomings there are, and sort yourself out with the realm of a martial saint."
Zhang Mingtu felt that his previous thinking was too restricted.
The path that your future brothers will take does not have to be the same as the path that you are taking now. You can try a variety of paths.
Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Others cannot take this path, but he can. He has many brothers and has many opportunities to try.
What's great is that he died last time. Zhang Mingtu is not only a brother, but he has many brothers. What's wrong with his brother's death?
If some brothers don't die in the future, how can we live a comfortable and comfortable life in our daily lives? We need to open our horizons and have a big picture.
The more Zhang Mingtu thought about it, the more he felt that this path was correct. He squinted and carefully sketched on the paper.
