The monk is hanging up

Chapter 74

Pu Ji smiled kindly and said: "Has your alchemy skills improved to the level where you can assist in refining the Great Return Pill? You are really talented. I originally thought I needed to ask a retired master to come out. Now that you are here, Great things can be expected.”

The monks carried the herbs up the mountain, and only then did the four leaders know how much "a little" Lin Su was talking about. Three of the alchemy room's reserves were piled up, and there were still some left, so they had no choice but to clear out an empty room.

Lin Su donated so many herbs, Shaolin abbot Puzhun personally received them, and the four chiefs listened, "It's so good, although Mingzheng returned to vulgarity, he remembered Shaolin in his heart, which is really Shaolin's merit."

"If it hadn't been for Uncle Pu Zhun's gift of scriptures, Ming Zheng would have been a useless person. How would he have a future?" Lin Su said.

Pu Zhun asked: "The scriptures are certainly good, but your character is especially important. Mingzheng, how far have you cultivated in the scriptures?"

Lin Su said: "To achieve perfection."

The five monks were startled and looked at each other. Puzhun said again: "Consummated? Can you see the mystery of this sutra?"

Lin Su shook his head and said: "Never. Although the scriptures are extraordinary, they have the effect of transforming the body and making the six senses intelligent, but they didn't notice other unusual things. Maybe Mingzheng's comprehension is not good, and he misunderstood the mystery of it."

"Senior Brother Puzhun..." The four chiefs all spoke together.

"Unexpectedly, alas..." Pu Zhun sighed, "I have practiced the Yi Jin Sutra for dozens of years, and I have comprehended it to perfection. , are all like this.”

He took a special look at Mingzheng and said: "It is said that Patriarch Bodhidharma comprehended the Yijinjing, studied Shaolin's 72 unique skills, shattered the void, and turned into a Buddha by sitting meditation. It is a pity that dozens of generations have not been able to cultivate the essence, and most of the 72 unique studies have withered away, so they have to use the basic skills and martial arts to replace them."

Shaolin has the reputation of being the leader of the righteous way, but it has declined too much in the past 300 years. First, foreign monks stole scriptures and lost 21 unique schools. More than a dozen unique skills came to naught.Fortunately, the old monk who retreated from the closed door taught him the unique knowledge 12, and finally saved some of them.

Later, the Buddha and demons rebelled and overthrew the Prajna Temple, which was originally created to study the Yijin Sutra. Since then, only the abbot of Shaolin has studied the Yijin Sutra.One year ago, the Underworld Demon Sect harmed Shaolin, and Shaolin could be said to be in troubled times.

"In the past hundred years, the person who is most likely to understand the Yi Jin Jing is Pu Shi, who is dubbed a Buddha and a demon. It's a pity that he became a demon because of the Yi Jin Jing."

……

During the day, Lin Su met his brothers at Danwanyuan except Ming Feng, who had traveled to eight counties in Liangzhou. Ming Fang was still studying alchemy regardless of the cold winter months. Under the joint guidance of Pu Ji and Ming Feng, he started working on alchemy three months ago. Refining a furnace of grass and wood pills with [-]% purity, the realm of a master is just around the corner.Mingshan and others entered Danwanyuan on their own and abandoned their lazy habits. Especially Mingshan, who changed significantly, transforming from a lazy pig into the number one expert in Danwanyuan.

At night, he met the mysterious old monk, "Master."

The old monk put down the burden of carrying water, did not fetch water for him to drink as usual, and watched quietly without moving.After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth: "The ray of dharma you have cultivated through the Yi Jin Jing has been torn apart by brutal means."

Lin Su was startled, "Isn't it a Dharma made from Arhat Fist?"

Fuhu Arhat's dharma image only emerges every time he performs Arhat Fist, so he naturally thinks that Arhat Fist has been cultivated to perfection and guided by the dharma image.

"Arhat Boxing is just an introduction, and what really works is the Yi Jin Jing, otherwise you may not be able to guide the appearance of the Dharma even if you practice this basic boxing technique superbly." The old monk sighed: "The phantom of the Dharma is not the real Dharma after all. When you meet people with disparity in strength, you can easily tear them apart."

Lin Su heard about it, and asked humbly: "Can master have a way to repair it?"

The old monk shook his head, "It's not that there are people who made the Dharma manifest in advance, but they are all protected by the sect, and they are ordered not to show the phantom of the Dharma in front of outsiders. They are strictly protected, and they are not like you. A stone, wouldn't it break the egg?"

"Which one is your Dharma image?"

Lin Su said: "Subduing the Tiger Arhat."

The old monk said with a smile: "Aspects are born from the heart. The tiger is the overlord of the forest. The white tiger respects the western stars and is the master of gold, which means killing. Fuhu is to stop killing. One person can subdue a fierce tiger with great ambition in his chest. The method of Fuhu Arhat If it’s broken, why not make another one? It’s not wise to stick to one pond and ignore the vast ocean.”

Lin Su lost his mind, and when he recovered, the old monk had disappeared.At that moment, he felt as if he had been slapped in the face, like waking up from a dream.Trapped in the reality of the broken dharma of Fuhu Arhat, he cannot extricate himself from it. However, Fuhu Arhat is just a drop in the ocean of gods and Buddhas in the sky. Arhats, Vajras, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas, why bother to stop in this foregone conclusion?

In just a few days, Lin Su memorized Shaolin's alchemy books by heart. The various alchemy techniques not only enriched his foundation of Shaolin alchemy, but also made this skill born out of basic alchemy and elementary alchemy more profound.

In his spare time, he guided Ming Fang in refining elixirs, and sometimes he also refined them himself. He refined three furnaces of grass and wood elixirs, all of which were ninety percent complete. He was the second elixir after Xiaohuan Dan that could be refined to more than ninety percent, and he was respected as a master.

Puji was dumbfounded, "Mingzheng's alchemy is back to the basics, and it has the demeanor of a great master. Given time, it is just around the corner to become a master."

"Master is too famous, how dare Mingzheng compare with you." Lin Su waved his hands.

But Puji said, "Monks don't tell lies, they just say what they say."

"Thank you, Master, for your appreciation."

The more Pu Ji looked at it, the more pleasing it became to his eyes. Fortunately, he was accepted as his disciple in the first place, otherwise a bright pearl would be covered in dust.He carefully inspected the warm alchemy and said, "Your alchemy technique is very exquisite, but it doesn't seem to be one from Shaolin."

Lin Su nodded and said: "This is the fragment of the Alchemy Scripture given to me by a benefactor who received a favor when my disciple was exploring the ruins of Heyi Temple in Jinzhu Que Mountain. After receiving it, my disciple compiled the most widely circulated Alchemy Scripture in the world. The Alchemy Book has been combined into a new "Alchemy Book". If there are any unreasonable things in it, please correct me, Master."

Presenting a newly transcribed alchemy scripture, Puji was stunned. Most of the people in the Jianghu cherished themselves with their brooms. They kept all the techniques, martial arts, alchemy recipes, and secret techniques tightly hidden, and regarded them as secrets not to be handed down. His original intention was to inquire about the method of alchemy, and he didn't mean to covet it. He didn't expect Lin Su to give him the alchemy.

"Master, please take a look. There is a Taoist alchemy technique recorded in the Alchemy Sutra, which is called silk peeling and cocoon extraction. It is a gentle technique, and it is an excellent technique." Lin Su opened the alchemy scripture and pointed out the record of silk peeling and cocoon extraction.

Puji said with satisfaction: "Using the Taoist method to refine Buddhist alchemy, your idea is worth promoting. This method is indeed more suitable for refining grass and wood alchemy than a flash in the pan. In this way, you have added a brand new alchemy to Danwanyuan." method."

Lin Su scratched his head, "Master, don't you always say that you can master all kinds of alchemists? There are all alchemists in the world. Taoist techniques may not be used in Buddhist alchemy. Similarly, Buddhist techniques can also be used to refine Taoist elixir."
