Chapter 530 The reason why you can't learn the 'Spiritual Foot Sutra'
Because Li Jiang diligently practiced the "Yi Jin Ji Forging Bones" in the "Nine Yin Manual", his muscles and bones throughout his body can stretch and contract freely, and he is tough and strong. Therefore, he can perform the eighteen ancient yoga postures in the "Shen Zu Jing" with almost no effort.
come out.
After assuming a good posture, guide your thoughts and mobilize your true energy according to the trend of the meridians drawn in the picture.
Every time he finished the eighteen sets, he could feel the cool breeze blowing, and he felt like he was about to ride the wind away. If he looked closely, his true energy would also increase slightly.
But that's all. The Yao Yao "one" is still a flower in the moon mirror, elusive.
The situation was the same for several consecutive days, which made Li Jiang feel anxious unconsciously.
Once after practicing the Dragon Subduing Palm, Xiao Feng asked Li Jiang: "Second brother, what's bothering you?"
Li Jiang glanced at Xiao Feng blankly, and as soon as the negative words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "Brother, you grew up at the foot of Xiaolin Mountain when you were a child, and Master Xuanku was your master. Then what do you think about Buddhism?
Martial arts?"
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and replied: "My master didn't teach me any advanced martial arts, he only taught me some basic postures to strengthen my body. It's not that he didn't want to teach me, but it was because I didn't have enough Buddhist skills to practice advanced techniques.
Martial arts are harmful rather than beneficial. As far as the few martial arts I have practiced, they are diligent and concentrated."
"Why can't you practice high-level martial arts without practicing Buddhism?" Li Jiang ignored concentration and diligence and only asked the advanced ones. He actually had some answers in his mind, but he still wanted to hear Xiao Feng's answer.
Xiao Feng said: "I heard Master say that Xiaolin Kung Fu is not only for strengthening the body, but also for protecting the Dharma. Sometimes it causes the angry eyes of King Kong. The more advanced the Kung Fu, the more powerful it is in killing people, so it is inevitable to bring it with you when practicing.
The anger that kills people. As the martial arts becomes more advanced, the anger accumulates more and more. If it is not dispelled and purified by Buddhist teachings, it will eventually become a demon."
After listening to Xiao Feng's explanation, Li Jiang sighed and said, "Yes, I study the art of killing people all day long. Without a strong mind, it is really hard to suppress it. In the end, the dragon slayer turned into an evil dragon again."
Xiao Feng didn't understand the last sentence, but it didn't prevent him from understanding what Li Jiang meant. He thought in his heart that his second brother might have encountered problems in his practice, so he asked: "Second brother, your family has many martial arts traditions, and you also practice other
With dozens of martial arts skills, he can be said to be an all-rounder in martial arts. However, I still have to say one thing, only by focusing on one can you avoid going astray!"
"The human heart is dangerous, the Taoist heart is small, the essence is only one, and it is allowed to hold on to the center? But this is in conflict with the emptiness of Buddhism." Li Jiang murmured to himself.
Xiao Feng saw that Li Jiang was confused and didn't want to talk to him about Buddhism, Taoism or Confucianism anymore, so he shook his head and practiced the rising and landing dragon palm on his own.
The Twenty-eight Dragon Subduing Palms have been streamlined to twenty palms by Xiao Feng, but he feels that there is still room for modification, and it may eventually be around seventeen or eight palms.
Although the conversation with Xiao Feng didn't make Li Jiang break through, it was still effective. He felt that he had at least found the reason why he couldn't practice the "Shenzhen Sutra".
"The Divine Foot Sutra" is the most profound martial arts in Buddhism. This is irrefutable, but ordinary Buddhism cannot hold it. Because to practice it, you must break through the self-image and human image, and be infinitely close to the realm of "emptiness" in Buddhism.
, reaching the state of impermanence and selflessness. No one in Xiaolin Temple can reach this state.
To practice this martial arts, you must first get rid of the idea that you are practicing martial arts before you can get started. But people's thinking has inertia, how can you forget something just by forgetting it? Maybe if you forget it deliberately, you will remember it more firmly.
This is the reason why Li Jiang failed to master Tai Chi but Zhang Wuji succeeded, and why Li Jiang failed to master the Divine Foot Sutra but You Tanzhi succeeded.
Damn it, there are still specific goals that are most suitable for Pindao! Li Jiang gave up treatment.
He no longer struggled, and his research with Xiao Feng returned to the right track.
Xiao Feng was very pleased. He had always believed that his second brother was a smart man and would be able to adjust on his own.
In early June, the improved version of Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon was officially released.
After comparing Li Jiang with the version of later generations in his mind, there are some differences. But this is normal. There are many heroes of the Beggar Clan. Hong Qi and Guo Jing of later generations must have made gains and losses, especially Guo Juju, who rubbed into himself
According to the understanding in the "Nine Yin Manual", yin and yang are more balanced, and that is when the path of hardness and softness is achieved.
Xiao Feng didn't know this, so he couldn't restrain his joy and kindly invited Li Jiang to try his hand.
Li Jiang readily accepted the challenge, and both of them used Xiao Feng's improved version of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
They are all "exalting the dragon but regretting it", they are all drawing a circle in front of the body, and when the two palms intersect, Li Jiang feels obviously different.
Xiao Feng's palm power is more masculine, while his own is more feminine. In terms of power, he loses, but he retains more power. If he counterattacks, he will be stronger.
"Pa bang bang..." After eighteen palm strikes, Li Jiang sighed to himself.
In terms of the refinement of palm skills, he really can't compare to Xiao Feng. People spend most of their lives immersed in this palm, and he can't compare with him.
However, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses, because Li Jiang has other means.
After the two of them used the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms seven or eight times, they were all feeling very satisfied. Xiao Feng stopped and shouted: "It's so good!"
Li Jiang was also happy. He hadn't met an opponent who could make him full of energy for a long time. So he waved his hand and shouted: "Brother, go back to the inn and let us drink the celebration wine today."
"Okay, second brother, let's go." Xiao Feng laughed and went ahead.
On this day, the two drank like crazy from noon to late at night, and dozens of empty wine jars were piled up in the house.
At first they didn't want to stop, but one tigress couldn't stand it.
Azi rushed into Li Jiang's room and scolded the two of them. Mainly scolding Li Jiang, for example, because he was not upright and led his brother-in-law to bad things.
She had been with Li Jiang for a long time and was no longer afraid. She knew that this man was just a talker, so she took this opportunity to relieve the negative emotions accumulated in her heart towards Li Jiang.
It wasn't until she scolded him enough that Xiao Feng staggered away as she dragged him hard, leaving the drunken Li Jiang with chicken feathers all over the floor.
In the dead of night, the lonely Li Jiang was particularly lonely. He missed his wife and two lovers. He simply didn't care anymore and went straight to the bed to meet them in his dream, hoping to get a little comfort.
On the second day, Xiao Feng was quite embarrassed and said that he ran away before the battle and caused his second brother to fail to enjoy himself, so he made an appointment to come back today.
Li Jiang said something incomprehensible, which stunned Xiao Feng on the spot.
"Brother, let's comfort my sister-in-law before we talk."
The two of them came to the martial arts training ground in the dense forest outside the city in silence. Xiao Feng finally said: "Second brother, things are not what you think. Azi is just my sister!"
"That's your imagination. Let me ask you, have you ever seen such an old girl cuddling with her brother-in-law? Has any sister-in-law cared so much about her brother-in-law?" Li Jiang asked in return.
Xiao Feng said firmly: "Second brother, I only have A'Zhu in my heart, and I can never let go of the second woman."
"Hey, how did you know that your sister didn't come here on behalf of your elder sister...er, to fall in love with you?" Li Jiang almost bit his tongue.
What he wanted to blurt out just now was the word "love", but love cannot be used in this context. Because love in ancient times refers to benevolence and universal love, not the love between men and women. Xiao Feng will definitely not understand it.
.
Xiao Feng couldn't help but shook his head and changed the subject: "Second brother, now I will teach you the dog-beating stick technique. We will try to finish it within three days and then go to Xiaolin."
Li Jiang glanced at him, Xiao Feng looked at him calmly.
After a while, there was no result! Li Jiang sighed secretly and said helplessly: "Okay, let's learn the dog-beating stick method."
