Ye Cheng raised his head and looked at the man sitting in a high position in front of him. He knew that in his current situation, he would probably be covered in blood before he took three steps. Even in his heyday, he might not be able to take more than three steps.
Come on, resistance is pointless.
Then he said calmly: "The thing about Faquan Temple is not all my fault. It doesn't matter if you force it on me!"
Xu Zhu shook his head and sighed: "You still don't know the mistake you made. Do you know what those statues you destroyed are?"
Being questioned again and again, Ye Cheng also remembered those monks who kept asking him for help, and couldn't help but ask: "Then stone carvings are just sculptures? I really don't know what they are? Do you know?"
Xu Zhu burst out laughing, and after a while he stopped laughing, and said with laughter: "You destroyed all the three thousand Arhats that the holy monk Master Jiu Rama transformed into, now do you know what these things are?
It’s worth it!”
Ye Cheng's mind immediately went crazy. No wonder those monks were desperately looking for him. Even the head of the Discipline Academy took action personally. It turned out that the stone sculpture he accidentally broke was really something extraordinary, but what is the true form of the Arhat?
, he still didn't understand, so he simply asked: "What is the real body of Arhat? Is it a stone sculpture carved by humans?"
Xu Zhu said seriously: "I once said in my Buddhist scriptures that there are two types of Arhats. One refers to the four-fruited Arhats of Hinayana. This state has cut off the troubles of views and thoughts held by the six paths, escaped from reincarnation, and entered the four holy dharma realms.
Stages of life and death. The Hinayana Arhat's fruition position is second to that of Bodhisattva, in order to assist the Buddha and Bodhisattva to save the world; the second-fingered Great Arhat, the actual rank is the Mahayana Dharma Yundi Bodhisattva, which is the tenth of the ten bodhisattvas, and the realm of practice is only
Second to the perfection of Buddhahood and the Equally Enlightened Bodhisattva. In addition to entering the one true Dharma Realm and seeing one's nature, the troubles of seeing and thinking held by the six paths have been eradicated. The troubles of dust and sand in the Four Holy Dharma Realms are still there, and only two of the forty-two grades of ignorance remain.
has not been broken, but the holy monk Juramo has achieved the first level. After understanding the Buddha's teachings, he used all he learned in his body to transform into the true body of three thousand Arhats. And those you destroyed are the few remaining true bodies.
Just some of them!”
Ye Cheng swallowed hard. Now he finally knew what he had done. This time he was nothing more than going against Buddhism in the world. No wonder even half of the monks in the Western Region knew about it. After figuring out the situation
, without thinking any more, he shook his head and said: "I did not intend to destroy the true form of the Arhat of the holy monk. It is all caused by what Buddhism calls cause and effect. Today it falls into your hands. You can kill or scrape it, it's up to you.
Got it!"
Xu Zhu stood up, walked down the high platform, and said calmly: "Who can tell clearly the merits and demerits of right and wrong? Only the cause of the day before can have the result of today. Everything is just destined by God. I will not be hurt today.
you!"
Ye Cheng looked at Xu Zhu in confusion, his mind turned around, and he asked in a low voice: "Don't you want to kill me? It seems that you also have an agenda? Tell me, is there anything else you can use me for?"
Xu Zhu clasped his hands together, whispered the Buddha's name, and said calmly: "I am a Shaolin novice monk. I have been transformed by cause and effect in my life. Although I am now in charge of the Lingjiu Palace and Xiaoyao sects, I never dare to forget the memory of my master.
Teaching, it is a pity that I was in a low position and did not have the opportunity to observe the relics of the holy monk. I am deeply sorry!"
As soon as he heard this, Ye Cheng understood and chuckled: "I understand what you mean, but that ghost thing in me is still there, you don't want to just let it go!"
Xu Zhu smiled slightly, stretched out his right palm and reached Ye Cheng in the air. No other movements were seen, his eyes suddenly burst into light, and with a low cry, a strong suction force rose out of thin air.
Ye Cheng immediately felt as if he was in a huge aura, surrounded by an invisible force field, and his every move was being spied on by the other party. This meant that Xu Zhu did not want to take his own life, otherwise
In this state, it is impossible to move even if you want to, and you will be killed in just the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, I felt the small fragment inside my body swimming rapidly along the meridians. Although there was still a sense of soreness and numbness, there was no pain. After a few turns, the small fragment had disappeared.
It disappeared, and the pressure around the body gradually disappeared.
Ye Cheng exhaled softly, slumped down on the chair, and said with a wry smile: "This life and death talisman is really powerful. It makes people miserable. It is difficult to live, and it is impossible to die. It is really powerful!"
Xu Zhu smiled faintly and said: "I have solved the talisman of life and death for you, now it's okay!"
Ye Cheng stood up happily and said with a smile: "No problem, I will show you the statue I saw!"
Although the body was still a little weak, it didn't take much effort to simply demonstrate the movements, so he demonstrated the movements of the dozens of Arhats one by one, and Xu Zhu who was on the side could also see
He was extremely serious, and soon he frowned, looking thoughtful.
After a long while, Ye Cheng stopped and performed a full set of dozens of movements. He suddenly felt that his Dantian, which was originally flowing slowly, was moving very fast. Within a few minutes, the injuries in his body were healed.
Young Master, this surprising discovery shocked him, and he thought that this Buddhist secret was mysterious.
Seeing that Xu Zhu was still frowning and thinking, Ye Cheng casually sat down and tasted the special wine of Lingjiu Palace Daxue Mountain, but his mind kept recalling the feeling just now, this level of quality.
Close contact with masters is hard-won. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, this opportunity is a huge windfall, which will have a great impact on his future martial arts career.
Suddenly, Xu Zhu moved, his movements were extremely slow, and his face matched various expressions. One moment he looked kind, the next moment he had an angry look, and then he turned around and looked like he was grinning. Although he looked a little appalling.
People are laughing and laughing, but Ye Cheng's heart is filled with turmoil. When he demonstrated just now, he didn't put any expression on it at all, and it was regarded as a reserved hand. How could he have thought that Xu Zhu would just rely on his own experience to gain insights?
Make these expressions.
You must know that in Buddhism, every cry, smile, joy, and anger all contain Buddhist verses. Just relying on your own insights, you can infer the expression of the Arhat sculpture. This shows that Xu Zhu's wisdom is rare in this world.
Although Ye Cheng has seen those stone carvings and practiced them himself, and even understood the "Arhat Kung Fu" from it, but now watching Xu Zhu demonstrate it, he has some insights and knows that this is another opportunity for him.
Only then did Xu Zhu come to his senses, he took a long breath, nodded and said: "A holy monk is a holy monk, and the Arhat's true body left behind is already a priceless treasure. All the crystallization of martial arts in his life is in it. It's a pity.
I actually let you destroy them all!"
Ye Cheng smiled and said: "You just agreed not to mention this matter? This can be regarded as a reward for not arresting me this time!"
Xu Zhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't touch you in the slightest! All dharmas arise due to causes and conditions, and all dharmas cease due to causes and conditions. I, the great ascetic Buddha, always say this, all of this has its own destiny, maybe he will do it."
It’s impossible to know how to walk around the world for my Buddha! It’s just a pity!”
When Ye Cheng heard that he would not do anything to him, he curiously asked: "What's such a pity?"
Xu Zhu shook his head slightly, casually sat on a chair nearby, and said calmly: "Back then, my master said that there are still very few of the three thousand dharma bodies of the holy monks. I heard that there is a temple in the land of Bashu that still retains some dharma bodies.
, I just lament that the lineage of holy monks has just gone with the wind, and we can't spread the Dharma widely for my Buddha, what a fate!"
There was a roar in Ye Cheng's mind. Looking at Xu Zhu's solemn expression, he could feel that what he said was not a lie. He thought to himself that he didn't expect that this half-monk would actually have such thoughts. Before, he thought he was just coveting the martial arts.
It's just a matter of learning. Who would have thought that they have never thought about it. In order to carry forward the Buddhist lineage, they are much smarter than the monks in Faquan Temple. Such people are indeed worthy of their respect.
I was also judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. I stood up and said respectfully: "I am hiding my clumsiness, but I have misunderstood the palace master's original intention. I hope the palace master can forgive me!"
Xu Zhu was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood, his face showed joy, he nodded and said: "Little brother, are you talking about the Dharma image?"
Ye Cheng nodded silently, walked to the venue and demonstrated the Dharmakaya sculptures in his memory one by one. Even the expression on the Dharmakaya's face was spot on, and it was simply lifelike.
After a long time, Ye Cheng slowly withdrew his posture, and there was a flash of light in his eyes. However, his body was full of energy, and the injuries he had just sustained were completely recovered. He secretly sighed in his heart that the path of Buddhism is extremely mysterious, and the cycle of cause and effect, if he didn't do it again,
Practicing this method again will not heal the injury, but the purpose of this demonstration is also to pass on the mantle of the holy monk. One cause, one effect, it's that simple.
Xu Zhu, who was standing, suddenly said: "My Buddha is merciful, thank you little brother for your help! I want to go into seclusion immediately, and I won't send you far away!"
After saying that, he didn't wait for a minute and disappeared into the hall in an instant, and the lingering sound still echoed in the hall.
Ye Cheng shook his head and said with a smile: "This may be what Buddhism calls enlightenment. That's okay. It won't directly lead to enlightenment and ascension!"
Thinking of the fine wine that the woman named Ju Jian had just brought, she ducked to the table, grabbed a handful of it, and put it into the package. Then she walked out with a smile. When she walked to the door, she looked at the women on both sides.
The disciple said: "Your palace master is in retreat. Where is the Ao Hanxiang that he brought in just now? Can you two take me there to see him?"
"Sir, my inner disciple Ao Hanxiang of Lingjiu Palace has left. You can go to the city to find her!"
Before the two disciples could answer, they heard subtle footsteps coming from the side, and a slightly hoarse female voice came from the side.
Ye Cheng followed the sound and saw a beautiful woman. She was wearing a white and blue leather jacket with knee-length lapels and narrow sleeves. A piece of snow-white color was exposed on her chest. Her slender waist could be easily grasped. She was wearing a pair of t-shirts on her legs.
But it was a pair of white patterned pants with small openings that made her legs extremely slender. On her feet were a pair of cyan flat leather boots.
The woman's eyes were wandering, she was pink and white and dark green, just like a white jade orchid. When she saw Ye Cheng, she nodded slightly and said with a smile: "The little girl Lan Jian, who is the guardian of Lingjiu Palace, came here to express my gratitude to the young master.
, act righteously to protect our sect’s reputation!”
Ye Cheng chuckled and said: "I am doing this unnecessary thing. Your palace master is so powerful that I am so powerful that I am making you laugh!"
Lan Jian said softly: "Our Lingjiu Palace stands proudly in the northwest. Our reputation and unique knowledge are all above all other sects. Young master, do you think of joining my sect? One day, you will definitely become famous and stand proudly in the world!"
Being attracted by this inexplicable wave of recruitment was beyond Ye Cheng's expectation. He didn't know when he became the most popular one. He shook his head and declined: "Thank you so much for Protector Lan's kindness. I have already joined the sect, so it is inconvenient for me to join him. Thank you very much."
Got it!"
Lan Jian didn't care, as if he knew the result, he nodded and said: "Your companion has good qualifications. I have already accepted him as my disciple. He will definitely shine in the future, and he will definitely show his prominence in the world competition!"
"A competition between the world and the world?" Ye Cheng murmured in his heart. It seemed that something interesting was going to happen again. He said respectfully, "Thank you so much for the guidance of Protector Lan. I'll leave here first!"
Lan Jian lowered his head and led a group of disciples to slam the door shut.
Ye Cheng wandered out of the inner hall, wrote a letter and sent it. At this moment, he did not dare to wear that outfit, otherwise he might be watched by people, so he found a secluded place and quickly took off his clothes.
Black robes and masks started walking around the streets.
