When he saw Wu Ming in the Zen room in the evening, Zhidai's eyes widened in disbelief. Peak 23S.
Fastest update
Even Zhikai, who was quite calm, was stunned and rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he didn't recognize the wrong person!
"Hi!"
Wu Ming smiled and said hello.
There was a group of eight people in the meditation room, and the experienced Zhihuan made a little effort and arranged him here.
As for whether there are vacancies in the first place, it is not within the scope of consideration!
"Ahem, junior brother, you... weren't you kicked out of the temple?"
Zhidai coughed dryly and made small gestures.
"I have always obeyed the law, how could I be kicked out of the temple?"
Wu Ming said carelessly.
"Then where have you been?"
The two looked at each other and said to themselves, if you had obeyed the law, you wouldn't have maimed someone!
"Practice in seclusion!"
Wu Ming was lying on the bed bored, with the kitten on his pillow and his legs crossed, feeling indescribably relaxed and comfortable.
Hearing this, the two of them rolled their eyes. Only those who believe you are the devil!
It's just a matter of physical training and seclusion, and then it disappears for a whole year. It's a lie!
"You came back at the right time. I heard... that the Nine Difficulties Tower is about to be opened!"
Zhidai whispered mysteriously.
"Nine Difficulties Tower? Where is it?"
Wu Ming laughed secretly in his heart and pretended not to know.
However, I was secretly surprised by Zhidai's well-informed news.
I just had a breath with Zhihuan in the morning, and he knew it in the evening. He is indeed a little know-it-all!
"Nine Difficulties Pagoda is a martial arts test place in Shaolin Temple open to lay disciples or people with Buddhist connections.
Rumor has it that nine of the seventy-two unique skills are stored in it, and those who are destined can get it!
In addition, the most mysterious top floor may even contain China’s top foundation martial arts, the Yi Jin Jing and the Marrow Cleansing Jing!”
Open your eyes with wisdom and look forward to them.
"It's just that the nine-nine-difficulties pagoda competes with nine-nine and eighty-one difficulties, which means that the true scripture is rare, and it aims to teach disciples to strengthen their true intentions.
Without great opportunity and unremitting efforts, I might not be able to see the face of the true scripture!"
Zhidai said a little desolately.
"Since it is open to lay disciples and people with Buddhist connections, why haven't you heard of it before? Why has it stopped again?"
Wu Ming was extremely interested in this.
Even Zhi Chuan is very secretive about this. It doesn't seem like he knows anything about it, but there must be something fishy here.
"That's not clear!"
The two looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Then are there any special conditions for breaking into the tower?"
Wu Ming pretended to be curious about the baby and said.
"There are not many requirements. It is said that any lay disciple can participate, and I heard that there are even disciples from the inner courtyard who can break into the tower.
However, no more than a hundred people will be allowed to open each time, and the number of places is limited, so I’m afraid there will be disputes!”
Zhidai was a little angry.
No matter which sect you go to, even if there is no distinction between inside and outside, there is still a distinction between direct disciples and ordinary disciples.
Without exception, the resources of the former are definitely much better than those of the latter.
But once the Nine Difficulties Pagoda is opened, the inner courtyard disciples have a greater chance of obtaining Shaolin's secret skills than the lay disciples, and the cultivation level of their peers is generally much better.
This will definitely have an impact on lay disciples and will crowd out many people.
In other words, it is taking away the opportunity from those who have a chance to get a quota!
While the three of them were talking, two lay disciples came back one after another. The other three were said to be on missions and did not return.
Although the two of them were a little surprised by the newcomer Wu Ming, they did not explore it too much. They were just curious about Wu Ming's dress.
After all, there are no disciples in secular Zen monasteries who grow their hair, let alone keep pets.
But since the Shaolin Temple has given permission, they naturally can't say anything more.
After chatting for a while, the five of them took a break one after another.
Of course, they basically sit cross-legged and meditate, or close their eyes and meditate. They don’t really fall asleep until late at night. In the morning, they also do morning classes, clean the yard and other chores!
"The unique skill of penetrating Qi, intention, and momentum is the standard martial arts for the innately strong. Shaolin Temple seems to be very open, but with the difficulty of the Nine Difficulties Pagoda, the threshold is actually extremely high. However, I did not find anything else in the tower.
The secret knowledge is probably related to what is in my heart!"
While Wu Ming was resting, he kept thinking about the reason why Shaolin Temple opened the Nine Difficulties Pagoda this time.
Even though I have lived in the tower for nearly a year, I still don't understand all its magical features.
But being able to pass through thresholds and measure people's hearts is so illusory and ethereal that it goes beyond imagination!
"I have reached the eighth level of practicing "Golden Bell Cover", and the next level will reach the peak. Although I can use the artistic conception, I am in a treasure place, and I have to make plans for the future. Among the Chinese warriors, the Shaolin Temple has the Arhat Body and the Diamond Body.
, Bodhi Body and others rule the roost, I am afraid that "Golden Bell" is also the foundation martial arts of some powerful martial arts.
Moreover, my martial arts follows a path of strong fists that would rather break than bend, and I also need appropriate martial arts to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
According to what Yue Xianjun said, I have understood the initial state of the mountain's general trend, which can be regarded as consistent with my own martial arts.
Although Fu Bo's Canglang Palm is a unique skill of the water element, it can also be said to be powerful and unrivaled in the stormy waves. When I enter the Qi realm, I can practice it, and the mountains and rivers will harmonize and complement each other!
For physical training, I have the Yi Jin Sutra, the Second Marrow Cleansing Classic and "Eight Sections of Brocade", for internal strength, there is "Xiantian Gong", and for body skills, there are two footwork methods: swimming body and swimming dragon, which can be used as the foundation for a breakthrough in the realm of integration in the future.
As for offense and defense, "Golden Bell" can be said to have reached its peak at this stage for me. In terms of attack, in addition to fists and kicks, I also need a weapon martial arts. For me, swordsmanship is the best. It can be free and full of freedom.
The battlefield is the true nature of a man!
If there is a chance, I should enter the Nine Difficulties Tower again to see if there is any unique skill suitable for me..."
While weighing how to proceed with his martial arts, Wu Ming gradually fell asleep.
…
Boom!
In the early morning of the next day, the melodious bells rang through the monastery, and everyone, both monks and laymen, stood up quickly, dressed neatly, and started their busy day.
Wu Ming was no exception. Following the rules, he picked up the broom very honestly and swept the Zen courtyard together with Zhi Dai and Zhi Kai.
When the bell rang for the second time, the monastery had been completely cleaned, and then they went to the morning class hall together. After listening to the morning class taught by the master in the temple, they dispersed after going about their own business.
What is different from the past is that the guest monk announced a news, that is, the opening of the Nine Difficulties Pagoda!
Although it caused a huge stir, Wu Ming, who already knew about it, naturally had little interest in exploring it further.
According to the tasks assigned every day, Wu Ming and the other eight lay disciples had to fill the 108 water jars in the monastery.
He has no objection to this, after all, it is also a way of spiritual practice!
The seemingly arduous task of fetching water was nothing to him. This was a simple task that was only possible because of Zhi Xuanzao.
"Senior Brother Zhiben, Wuming came to receive the water-carrying tool!"
In the Treasury Courtyard, Wu Ming handed over the ultimatum and explained everything.
Chiben, who is in charge of this responsibility, is an ordained monk. He is forty years old, has a fair face and is beardless, and looks quite like a monk.
When they first met, they glanced at Wu Ming's hair in surprise. Without asking any questions, they took out the pole and barrel and registered them in the register.
"Different from those in the inner temple, each one weighs at least three hundred kilograms!"
After briefly weighing the barrel, Wu Ming said politely, "Brother, is there anything heavier?"
"Junior brother, it seems that you are successful in your physical training. You should be able to carry a thousand pounds of strength, but carrying a full tank of water is not something you can do in just one trip!"
Zhiben smiled with a slightly raised brow.
"I know that it takes six buckets of water to fill one tank, which means three trips."
Wu Mingdao.
As far as he knew, all the lay disciples who received this task were cultivating in the Qi Realm. Even if they walked fast enough, they could make four to five, or at most six, trips in an hour.
This is still a standard tool for pumping water.
Of course, it is not ruled out that warriors who intend to practice through this method deliberately use heavier tools. For example, among the nine of them, there was an unusually tall lay disciple who asked for a thousand-jin shoulder pole.
In addition, the wooden bucket is filled with water, which requires two thousand kilograms to be carried in one trip. It is a stupid but straightforward and simple way to practice by constantly exerting strength throughout the day.
And Wu Ming will naturally not let go of this opportunity to complete his work and practice at the same time!
"Okay, since you believe me, I won't say more! But you have to remember that in a group of nine people, although each person is assigned twelve tanks of water, if one person fails to complete the task, everyone will be punished!"
Zhiben took a deep look at Wu Ming and also took out a dark, heavy weight.
"Thank you, senior brother, for helping me!"
Wu Ming was also unambiguous. He weighed it in his hands and felt it was quite heavy. He picked up the two barrels with satisfaction and followed the team.
However, the other eight people, except for the tall and muscular lay disciple Zhikui, the other seven showed more or less dissatisfaction.
Although he did not express it, it is not difficult to guess that he was afraid that Wu Ming would implicate them and be punished.
But an hour later, after carrying four loads of water and seeing that Wu Ming didn't show any sign of fatigue, everyone felt relieved.
For many people, carrying water is a boring task. Instead of practicing in this way, it is better to complete it early and master your own basic martial arts!
For three hours in the morning, almost none of the nine people behaved abnormally, and they kept going four times every hour.
But after having lunch and resting for half an hour, Na Zhikui took the lead and made six trips in one hour.
Of the remaining seven people, three started picking five trips, and Wu Ming was no exception to the remaining four.
Although he has reached the state of refining his internal organs like a wall, he has not yet reached the perfection of all his strength. Even though his recovery ability is not inferior to that of Qi realm warriors, it is not as fast and lasting as the recovery of internal energy!
Being able to maintain this speed has surprised the other disciples. After all, he is just practicing body training!
"Huh...according to my current progress, if there are no evil things in the life orifice causing trouble, I will be able to practice Qi with all my strength within a few months.
It’s a pity that if you want to completely eradicate this evil thing, unless you have a great opportunity to open up the Nine Apertures Life Fire, you can only wait until you enter the innate world or forge the destiny..."
Along the way, Wu Ming was distracted, thinking about the current progress of his practice.
"Stop, which lay disciple are you from? Why don't you respect the temple rules and grow your hair privately?"
At this moment, a clear and majestic shout came from the slanting stab!
