Chapter 16 Three things

The matter between Sun Yixie and Murong Ji has come to an end now.

How Mr. Murong left Hangzhou in despair, and what impact the relationship between him and Brother Sun will have in the future, we will describe in the document later.

For now, let’s look back at Huang Donglai’s situation.

Some people may still remember that Huang Donglai was punished by the head Fuzi to do "three things", the first of which was to face the wall in the "Wuxian Cave" in the back mountain of Xuanqi Sect. Seventy-seven forty-nine days.

It was already mid-May in the blink of an eye, and his days of facing the wall were almost coming to an end.

So what did he do during these forty-nine days?

Damn it, just practice kung fu, what else can he do?

This "Phaseless Cave" It was originally one of the places for retreat and practice in Menzhong.

What is formless?

The twenty-third volume of the Southern Mahaparinirvana Sutra says that formless means there are no ten signs, the so-called form, sound, smell, taste, The contact phase, the birth phase, the dwelling phase, the extinction phase, the male phase, and the female phase.

The twenty-second volume says that if there are good men or good women who hear the Mahanirvana word for word, but do not make words, sentences, listen, Buddha, or preach, it will be like this. The righteous one is called formless. Because of the absence of form, one can obtain Anuttarasamyaksambodhi.

What do these two paragraphs mean?

Let me translate it for now. The first paragraph says that the so-called formless state refers to the state that is not affected by the five senses that humans use to perceive the three-dimensional world. The five senses of color, sound, smell, taste, and touch, as well as the two phases of gender, namely male and female, and the three phases of birth, residence, and death in the time dimension do not simply correspond to the future, present, and past; the birth phase has from the future to the present, and The phase of extinction has the meaning from the present to the past, and can also be understood as corresponding to the constraints of the cycles of birth, old age, and death.

The second paragraph is about men and women who believe in Buddhism. After listening to these words in my sutra, if you are really enlightened, then I can express these things in words. , you can ignore and abandon it. This corresponds to the so-called "reason and all appearances" in Buddhism. If you understand this level, you will have obtained "Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi", that is, supreme wisdom. and awareness.

From the name of "No Phase", we can know that Xuanqi Sect's No Phase Cave is a place of enlightenment that "limits human senses".

Of course, it is not as exaggerated as the "Yellow Spring Cave" in Shaman King. That one is restricted to you, but there is still a little left in the Formless Cave. Feeling.

Huang Donglai went to the alchemy room in advance to receive "Guiyuan Lu. As mentioned in the previous article, taking one pill can guarantee seven days without eating, drinking or sleeping. However, the quantity is limited and is generally only given to retreating disciples." , so the time of these forty-nine days is also easy to calculate. Every time he feels hungry and thirsty, that is seven days. By analogy, when he has eaten the seven pills he brought into the cave and feels again When you get hungry, facing the wall is over.

Huh

This afternoon, a dazzling ray of sunlight, accompanied by the sound of the stone door opening, broke into the quiet Phaseless Cave.

Huang Donglai, who was sitting cross-legged inside, came back from his meditation, looked back along the light, and saw a familiar figure.

"Master." Huang Donglai stood up immediately and bowed to Miaoyinzi.

"Come out, the forty-nine days have arrived." Miaoyinzi replied to him.

"Yes." Huang Donglai's tone sounded very calm, without any sense of joy at regaining freedom. It seemed that he had not completely escaped from the state of "entering concentration".

After walking out of the cave, Huang Donglai found that Lin Yuancheng and Tyrell were also waiting outside the cave.

"Brother Huang, I've waited until you came out." Lin Yuancheng's tone was concerned but also filled with joy. Apparently he was also happy that Huang Donglai had finished facing the wall.

"Yo, Brother Huang, long time no see." Tyrell can now speak Chinese very well, but for some reason he has more and more accents and strange oral habits.

"Hey, you are here too. How are you two these days?" When Huang Donglai started talking to these two people, he came out of the "retreat" state and gradually regained his usual self. Tone.

Unexpectedly, his question made Xiao Lin and Tyrell's expressions become a little subtle.

"The leader wants to see you. If you have any questions, let's talk while we walk." At this time, Miaoyinzi interrupted at the right time and asked them to follow.

As the three of them followed, Lin Yuancheng and Tyrell also organized their language a little and began to tell Huang Xudong what they had experienced in the past forty-nine days.

On the first day of April, Huang Donglai entered the Wuxiang Cave in the afternoon. After he entered, the Xuanqi Sect's veterans began to "arrange" Lin Yuancheng and Tyrell.

Fudozi told Lin Yuancheng that he came to the mountain today not by chance, but by destiny.

When Lin Yuancheng heard this, he thought Fudozi was going to accept him as a disciple, so he quickly expressed that he did not want to be a Taoist priest.

When Fudozi saw that he had misunderstood, he explained that being destined does not mean that he wants to accept you, it just means that you are destined to have an adventure here.

Then Fuzi told Lin Yuancheng that there will be a "catastrophe" in the martial arts in the future, and you are the key figure in this disaster; this disaster is not only a crisis for the entire martial arts world, but also for you. Whether you can overcome the most dangerous hurdle in life depends on luck and whether you can make good use of every "opportunity" you encounter.

Lin Yuancheng is a smart man. Could he not understand this point?

Therefore, he quickly thanked the Taoist Priest and waited for him to give him some "pointers". .

Everyone, you know Xuanqi Sect, who the hell will guide you? Xiao Lin, you are thinking too much

Fudozi is too lazy to teach Lin Yuancheng something, He just asked Miao Yinzi to go to the "Martial Arts" category in the library and pick out something for the child.Lin Lianlian, this is considered as a "opportunity" given by them.

As for what will be drawn, it depends on Xiao Lin’s fate.

When you see this, some people may say, what’s the use of this? The most introductory swordsmanship of Xuanqi Sect is also the "Wangyun Sword". Bai Ruhong in the previous document relies on this set of swordsmanship. He is one of the golden beggars, silver Taoists, bronze Confucians and iron monks in the world. The old Taoists taught Xiao Lin this directly. With his qualifications, he has not yet reached heaven

Gu Xun

Then I have to remind you here that Bai Ruhong not only learned Wangyun Sword, he also learned Wu Qi Gong. Without the blessing of Wu Qi Gong, a superior internal skill, he would have just relied on Wangyun Sword Technique. , Bai Ruhong's martial arts cannot reach today's height.

If we only talk about sword theory and moves, Lin Yuancheng's self-created "Ling Tu Tan" is better than the Wangyun Sword, so teaching him this is actually of little value and cannot be called a chance.

To make a long story short, Miao Yinzi randomly picked up the martial arts in the library and handed it to Lin Yuancheng, called Shenshou Youque.

At first glance, this name sounds like it is some kind of incomplete book, but in fact it is not. This is a very complete sword manual with internal skills. The word "youqi" is in the name. , not to say that the swordsmanship is defective, but to point to the origin of this swordsmanship.

Since the "magic power" itself is a kind of super power, not a martial art, so when someone created a martial art that simulated this ability, they called it "magic power". God is missing."

This sword manual in the Xuanqi Sect is said to have been left behind by a senior master whose name is no longer known when he traveled to this time. As for how many years ago this senior came and where he went afterwards. Where he went, whether he ascended or something, is unknown.

In short, if this sword manual is in the hands of Lin Yuancheng today, it means that fate has arrived, and it will be given to him, and the experienced Taoists will not feel bad.

And Xiao Lin has done nothing else for more than a month, basically focusing on the book Sophora flavescens.

So how did he learn it?

Let's put it this way, this martial arts made Lin Yuancheng feel a deep sense of frustration.

In the past, Xiao Lin almost relied on his talent to grow.

The most profound martial arts he has systematically studied is the Seven Star Sword Technique taught to him by Fan Zhengting, and his internal strength is also inherent in this sword technique.

Perhaps for ordinary people, being able to learn this kind of first-class swordsmanship with a set of second- and third-rate internal skills is enough to gain a foothold in the world, but for a person with Lin Yuancheng's talent, This little thing is obviously not enough to fill his talent.

So, he improved the Seven Star Sword, so he created his own Ling Tan.

As for the miscellaneous martial arts he later learned in Cangzhou Xingyi Sect, they are even less worth mentioning. They are not as good as the Seven Star Sword.

To say that Lin Yuancheng made the most progress in martial arts in his life, it actually had to be on the eve of "Sword Fighting Demons", when he and other members of Four Swords and Three Swords shared progress, but in the endAfter all, just absorbing various martial arts knowledge in fragments is not the same thing as "learning a set of things systematically".

Now, Lin Yuancheng, who has obtained the "Shenhuo deficiency", finally has the opportunity to fully learn a set of top-notch martial arts.

The senior master who created this sword manual is also very practical, and the internal strength included in the sword manual is also super strong; after all, without strong internal strength, it is impossible to imitate the destructive power of the "divine force" with a sword.

But this martial arts is difficult to learn.

How difficult is it?

Let’s put it this way, the internal strength part with deficient magic power is more difficult than the non-extraordinary skill part; while the swordsmanship part, although the difficulty is about the same as that of Ling Tan, But because it was created by someone else, and the sword theory was completely different from that of Ling Tan, it was very difficult for Lin Yuancheng to learn it.

For the first time in his life, Xiao Lin felt that his martial arts talent was not enough.

Even though he can now recite all the contents of the entire Shenhuo Youqi verbatim and practice meditation every day, his progress is still very slow, and it can even be said to be difficult.

The more Lin Yuancheng practiced his magic skills, the more he felt that he "no longer knew how to use a sword", and he became confused.

On the other hand, Tyrell's situation is similar to Xiaolin's.

The old Taoists talked to him a lot with the help of cross-language communication spells, and told him that he would be the bridge between the Eastern and Western religions to "work together to fight against demons" in the future, and thus deceived him into learning it. There are a lot of things. Of course, this matter involves the story of Shuangxi's journey to the west later in the article, so there is no need to go into details at the moment.

In short, although these two people did not need to be locked up in the Wuxiang Cave like Huang Donglai, they were not idle during these forty-nine days.

After a while and a half, the three of them had exchanged bitter stories and arrived at their destination.

Today, Fudo did not receive them while playing chess, but stood in the courtyard early to welcome their arrival.

"Here we come." Fudoko's greeting was also so casual.

"Ah, I brought it." Mioyinzi replied.

"Okay, you three, let's set off without further delay." Fudozi said this before Huang, Lin and Tai could say hello.

"Where are you going?" Huang Donglai asked doubtfully.

"Tsk." Fuzi curled his lips, "Go kill those thirteen dead animals."

"This" Huang Donglai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Listen to this I mean, Master, you also want to go with us."

"That's not nonsense," Fudozi continued, "I won't go, you can wipe this ass clean on your own"

But then he remembered something and said, "Oh, that's right. "Uncle, you said you would punish me for three things before, so going down the mountain to slay the demon is the second one."

"Forget it," Fudozi replied.

"Oh, the third thing, can you tell me now?" Huang Donglai asked.

"Yes." Fudozi continued, "I was about to tell you." He paused and continued, "The third thing to punish you is to remove the demon this time. You are not allowed to use Taoism on the road."
