[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

The Bodhidharma Cave is on the middle peak of Wuru Peak. It is said that Damo Patriarch once faced the wall in this natural stone cave for nine years.Later generations of monks built pagodas and monuments nearby, and now this place has become a nominally important place of Shaolin Temple. Although it is extremely deserted and secluded, not everyone is qualified to come to this wall.

...as if someone wanted to come!

When Master Fang carried a small bundle to the entrance of the stone cave, it was the time when the sky was full of green and the leaves were yellow like flowers.The nearby monk guarding the tower opened the locked old vermilion lacquer door for him, and the early morning light slightly illuminated the dark cave, and he saw that the inside was three meters wide and seven meters long. Light, but somewhat depressing.Fang Tianzhi went in hesitantly, and saw the sitting stone statue of Bodhidharma in the depths of the cave. Facing the wall and piercing the sky".

Fang Tianzhi bowed respectfully to Patriarch Bodhidharma and heaved a sigh of relief—although the cave is shady, it is not humid.It's true if you think about it, otherwise, the patriarch had faced the wall for nine years, wouldn't he be suffering from rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis? !There are no tables, chairs or benches here, and I don't know what to do for three years.Master Fang sighed inwardly, but the light behind him was suddenly blocked by a black shadow. Looking back, it was the monk guarding the pagoda.

This monk is quite old, with a thin and stooped figure. Fang Tianzhi has never seen him in the temple. Since meeting him, he has kept silent and communicated with others only with gestures. I don't know if it's because he doesn't want to talk, or because he is tongue-tied. in the way.At this time, he was holding an old futon in his hand, as if to hand it to Fang Tianzhi.Master Fang knew that he would rely on this futon for daily living for the next three years, so he took it with both hands and thanked him.The old monk waved his hand and left.

Fang Tianzhi placed the futon on the open space in front of the east wall, facing the words "original face".

He looked at the inscription quietly for a while, and then turned around to call Lingfeng, but Lingfeng stood at the entrance of the cave, poking his head, and refused to come in for a long time. Later, he was annoyed by the call, so he just rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and slipped into the woods The annoyed leader Fang scolded it for being immoral, but there was nothing he could do about it.Wandering around the cave again, he was so idle that he panicked, and finally went into the cave, ready to start practicing martial arts.

How to spend these three years, Master Fang also has a plan.Before that, he wandered in the arena for two years, fought against the legendary left envoy of the Demon Sect Guangming, and competed with the head of the Vajra Sect, and they were all on equal footing. This at least proves that in terms of martial arts alone Level, he can already stand shoulder to shoulder with famous people all over the world, basically no one is worthy.In the future, if you practice martial arts step by step, you will reach the peak sooner or later, there is nothing to say about it.If there is still something missing, Master Fang thinks about it, and feels that he is still afraid of poison.

The fear of poison had been registered in his mind as early as when he first returned to Shaolin Temple.Therefore, before the Prajna Hall Grand Competition, besides practicing martial arts, he deliberately searched for Shaolin special skills to see if there were any suitable martial arts.In the end, I really taught him to find it——

This martial art is called Bodhi Heart Method, which is said to have been enlightened by the sixth patriarch, Huineng. It takes the meaning of "there is no tree for Bodhi, and there is no platform for a bright mirror", and the essence of practice is "pure nature".After practicing this skill, it has miraculous effects in dissolving poison and recovering internal injuries, and it is also a profound and profound martial art.Having said that, this martial art has been practiced by few people for hundreds of years, so it can be regarded as extremely unpopular. I'm afraid even Kong Ming can't say one, two, three, how to practice it all depends on one's own groping.

Fang Tianzhi didn't plan to practice it at first. After all, he has quite a lot of points now, with five or six thousand points. It is more convenient and quicker to spend money to buy a skill, but now he is idle, so why waste the money?

Might as well practice to pass the time!

In this way, Master Fang stayed in the Bodhidharma Cave and practiced martial arts in the cold and summer.He must not leave the vicinity of the cave, and only the old monk who guards the pagoda prepares the meals and brings them to him every day.Fang Tianzhi tried to chat with the old monk at first, but no matter what, the old monk never heard of it.Fang Tianzhi observed for a month, and found that the old monk's attitude was not indifferent, but he seemed to regard him as the same as the flowers and trees, so he ignored him in a calm and peaceful manner as if stepping on the grass or walking through the flower forest.

The only living person that can be seen is so strange, it can make Master Fang very depressed at first, but it is even more difficult when the sky is covered with snow and the mountains are covered with heavy snow, and the day and night are quiet.At this time, he regarded the bodhicitta method as his spiritual sustenance, and practiced it whenever he felt restless.The heart formula of this martial arts is also wonderful, if one can concentrate on practicing, the whole person will gradually become really calm.

One night, when Master Fang was practicing this mental technique, he suddenly fell into a mysterious state of forgetting both things and himself, but he opened his eyes naturally before being frightened or surprised.At that moment, he felt as if he had burst out of the water, or as if he had just woken up from a shock.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the silver light and snow light are shining together, leaking in through the crack of the door.The stone carvings on the facing cave wall emitted a hazy light, which was imprinted in Fang Tianzhi's eyes.He sat down on the futon in knots and looked up slightly at the words "True Face". For a moment, he didn't feel that the cave was cramped and dark. The moonlight was him thousands of miles away. He was in the cave, and he was no longer in the cave. .

After sitting in meditation for a while, Fang Tianzhi realized that the practice of Bodhicitta has made great progress.

He was in a good mood, got up and pushed the cave door open, taking advantage of the moonlight to look around, he saw a vast expanse of snowy forest, silver branches and shadows like the ups and downs of the sea, and higher up, a full moon hangs quietly at the head of the stone pagoda.And on the top of the tower, a gray shadow was quietly standing alone, if it wasn't for Fang Tianzhi's amazing eyesight, it would be difficult to detect it.He looked carefully for a while, only to feel that the more he looked, the more he looked like the monk who guarded the pagoda who came to deliver meals to him every day.

But yes or no, there is nothing to care about.

Fang Tianzhi looked at the full moon for a while, then returned to the cave and continued to practice.

After that night, the old monk still brought food as usual, but it was not until several days later that Fang Tianzhi suddenly realized that he had forgotten to talk to the old monk.Now, not only did he not feel bored, but he felt very quiet and at ease, and he didn't care about anyone chatting at all.The two monks, one old and one young, did not talk to each other for several months, but they got along more and more harmoniously, so until after the beginning of spring, Yuanqing personally went to the mountain to deliver rice noodles.

I haven't seen each other for half a year. Fang Tianzhi talked to them for a long time. Only then did he learn that after the Prajna Hall competition, the abbot led everyone to Wudang Mountain to celebrate his birthday. Sure enough, he saw Zhang Cuishan who had been missing for ten years. The matter of exterminating the family and refusing to reveal who the real culprit was, made Hesi very annoyed.Not only that, he also refused to disclose the whereabouts of the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun. Wudang tried his best to protect his family's safety.

Now Wudang Mountain is full of troubles, and has no clear connection with the Tianying Sect, which has attracted constant guns and dark arrows, and has made him burnt out.Fortunately, Yu Sanxia's old injury finally healed and he was able to walk normally. Yin Liuxia kept his word and came to Shaolin Temple to apologize and thank him.

When Yuan Qing mentioned Yin Liting, he still had a sense of admiration, but when he changed the subject, he taunted Zhang Cuishan again, not only for Du Dajin's injustice, but also because he had blinded senior brother Yuanye's one Eye.Yuanye and Fang Tianzhi have been acquainted since childhood, so close, it hurts deeply, how can he not bear hatred?

Fang Tianzhi heard this, thought for a while and said: "The Seven Heroes of Wudang have been famous for a long time, if there is no case of the Longmen Escort Bureau, who would not be a chivalrous one? In my opinion, Zhang Cuishan knows that everyone covets the Dragon Slaying Saber, However, he was willing to risk the disapproval of the world and was determined not to betray the whereabouts of his righteous brother. Such a responsibility is rare in the world. How is it like a vicious villain who committed a massacre but refused to admit it? He refused to tell the real culprit, but It seems to be for the protection of neighbors. I guess it has something to do with the Skyhawk Sect."

Yuan Qing pondered for a while, and felt that what he said made sense, so he ran down the mountain excitedly to find his master.Before leaving, he bid farewell to Master Fang, saying that every six months he would go up the mountain to deliver rice noodles, and he would meet again at that time.

So cold and hot, Yuan Qing came several times.Thanks to him, Fang Tianzhi heard that the monastery finally found out that it was Zhang Cuishan's wife Yin Susu's unique hidden weapon Mosquito Needle that killed senior brother Yuanye and several nephews. Willing to admit it, but Zhang Cuishan did not deny it anymore.

This Wudang Five Heroes was caught in a dilemma in the end. He couldn't leave his wife alone, but how could he openly cover up his wife's crime of killing the family?But Shaolin Temple failed to make Yin Susu pay for her life—it seemed that she didn't want to see her husband embarrass and humiliate her. She quietly left Wudang Mountain at some point and disappeared.Not long after that, Zhang Cuishan went to nowhere, and no one could be found in the great rivers and lakes. Only his son Zhang Wuji, who was in the palm of the mysterious god, was left to continue his life on Wudang Mountain.

Shaolin suffered a lot, and the elders in the temple were naturally upset. Later, Master Zhang Sanfeng went to Shaoshi Mountain to seek Jiuyang Kungfu in person, but the abbot Kongwen pretended to be serious and perfunctory.

But in Jianghu, no one has heard about Xie Xun so far.

Another day, when Master Fang was practicing in the afternoon, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.He felt a little strange, got up and opened the door to look, only to see the old monk guarding the tower standing outside the door, as soon as he saw Fang Tianzhi, he pointed out the way down the mountain.

Master Fang didn't react for a while, and asked, "Is anyone here?"

The old monk looked at him and suddenly smiled.

Master Fang was flattered by this smile, before he could figure out how to respond, he saw the old monk walk into the cave and took out the damaged futon.

Alas!Why did you take away the only furniture of the leader? !

Fang Jiao opened his mouth, but saw the old monk holding the futon and pointing down the mountain.

After pointing, he turned around and went to the stone pagoda by himself.

The crooked gray shadow gradually drifted away, Fang Tianzhi watched him disappear into the gorgeous autumn leaves, he was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized that it is another season of late autumn——

He finally remembered that three years had passed, and the days of facing the wall were over.

……

So this leader can finally go down the mountain to do good deeds again? !

A burst of joy rushed into his head, Fang Tianzhi packed his small package in a hurry, and was about to run after seeing the way down the mountain, but he stopped suddenly before leaving.He went back to the Bodhidharma Cave, paid homage to the patriarch, and stopped quietly in front of the inscription on the east wall, looking at the "true face" for a moment.

After that, Fang Tianzhi walked out of the cave, gently closed the two small vermilion lacquer doors that opened, then turned his head, and strode away from the place where the wall had been for three years.

Two days later, he bid farewell to his master, and no longer took Lingfeng with him, and traveled southeast alone.
