The World of Martial Arts

Chapter 69 Moonlight on the Lotus Pond
The place where Xu Zhengping lives is a courtyard purchased locally by the Nanshan Gang, and it is usually lived by a few backbones who lead businesses in Ningbo.

At this time Linghu Chong and the others had gone back to their rooms to rest, but Xu Zhengping was still doing his own carving in the courtyard.

It’s just that going out is not as convenient as being at home, so I didn’t use a seedling knife, but used a dagger to carve on the small granite that I carried with me.

This can also exercise precision and wrist strength.

When he was practicing, Xu Zhengping was extremely focused. He regarded cultivation as sacred as cultivating Buddha, and it was a path for ordinary people to reach a higher level beyond the public. .

Therefore, even if he does not rely on the great method of absorbing stars, his martial arts practice is far superior to ordinary people.

The moon is sparse, and there is an artificially excavated pond in the courtyard, in which some flowers and plants that are not found in the Middle Earth are planted. Under the moonlight, the water in the pond seems to reflect a faint light, exuding a delicate fragrance, which is refreshing.

At this moment, Lian Xing, who was wearing a copper mask, had come behind him, but he didn't seem to notice it, and he was still engrossed in carving the Buddha statue.

Lian Xing didn't sneak up, stood beside him curiously, and asked, "What are you carving?"

Xu Zhengping replied without any surprise: "Buddha statue, the Buddha in my heart."

"Carving does not use daggers. If a craftsman wants to be good at his work, he must first sharpen his tools."

"Carving Buddha is also practicing sword."

"Knife has murderous intent, so it is not suitable for carving Buddha statues. A Buddha carved with murderous intent is not called a Buddha, but a demon."

Xu Zhengping paused, and suddenly felt that what this woman said made a lot of sense.

He remembered the first Buddha statue he carved, which Yue Buqun called Shura.

It turned out that it wasn't that my carving skills were too bad, but that when carving, every pious slash was releasing the magic in my heart.

Like the Buddha statue that comes out at this moment, no matter whether the carving is good or bad, it must be full of hostility and murderousness in the end, so it is naturally Asura.

But if you don't use a knife to carve Buddha, how can you practice a superb knife technique?
Lian Xing on the side said: "You use carving Buddha statues to enter the sword technique, but the sword and Buddha are completely opposite things, so you can never carve a Buddha.

If you practice swords, you cannot carve Buddhas, and if you carve Buddhas, you cannot practice swords. "

Xu Zhengping stood there thinking for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, the Buddha and the devil are one, I practice the sword and become a demon, and then from the devil to the Buddha, I will definitely walk out a path that belongs to me!"

Lian Xing was very surprised, did not expect Xu Zhengping to have such a peculiar idea, from demon to Buddha?
"Hehe, the most ridiculous sentence in the world is to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.

If one can become a Buddha if one just lays down the knife in one's hand to kill someone for evil, isn't it too unfair to those who have practiced good deeds but failed to achieve good results for a hundred years? "

She seemed to think of Jiang Feng, such a handsome man who was eager for justice, but ended up in a very miserable end. She wanted to be saved but couldn't, and she always felt deeply painful about it.

Xu Zhengping said: "There is no fairness in the world, some are just compromises, if you want to make people compromise with yourself, you must have strength!

Cultivating Buddha also requires strength. Buddha does not protect kind people because of cowardice, and Buddha is not an excuse for the weak to escape difficulties.

A person who can bear the weight of a butcher's knife must be a person with strength and determination, and a person with a firm will.

Such a person is willing to put down the butcher's knife, not because of cowardice, but because of enlightenment and true kindness, so why can't he become a Buddha immediately? "

Lian Xing felt dissatisfied when he heard this nonsense, and objected: "People who do good may not all be cowardly people! People who do evil may not all be strong-willed people!"

"It's not because of cowardice that he insists on the good in his heart, so he is a Buddha in the first place, so why should he cultivate a Buddha? Since he is a Buddha, he must have no attachments, so why ask about injustice?
Those who do evil with unsteady will will pick up the butcher's knife again when they put it down. They have not really let go, so they cannot become a Buddha immediately. "

Lianxing opened her eyes and asked, "Which one do you belong to?"

"I raised the butcher knife and never put it down, but I have a Buddha in my heart."

"absurd!"

"The Buddha is in my heart, why do you need to recognize it?"

After Xu Zhengping finished speaking, he drank a cup of cold tea that was set aside, then came to the edge of the pond, and lit a roll of incense on the tea table, which smelled like sandalwood but not sandalwood.In such a dark night, there is still a bit of elegance.

Lian Xing smelled the fragrance mixed with the fragrance of flowers and curly incense, she was a little relaxed and happy for a while, and said with a long breath: "You don't ask me why I came here?"

"Good intentions or malice, I have already perceived it just now. Since it is malicious, why should I ask?"

"Since that's the case, there's no need to talk nonsense, I'm from Yihua Palace!"

"Jiang Biehe used Yihuajieyu on me, I had already expected it."

Lianxing raised her eyebrows, "So you must replace Jiang Biehe and become our Yihua Palace!"

"I just said that there is no justice in the world, only compromise. If you want me to compromise, you have to show your strength."

"it is good!"

After Lian Xing had finished her words, she raised her palm and bombarded her!
The jade fingers of her palm are lush and flawless like beautiful jade, without the slightest trace of palm style, but unpredictable, as if completely powerless.

But Xu Zhengping knew that this palm technique of shifting flower and jade does not need to use force at all, once the opponent catches the move with strength, he will definitely use his strength to counterattack, it is extremely difficult to deal with!
It is not the same as Taijiquan and Zhanyi Eighteen Falls. Taijiquan and Zhanyi Eighteen Falls resolve the external force, while Yihuajieyuzhang method can resolve not only the external force, but also the external force. The true qi that circulates inside is extremely miraculous.

Xu Zhengping used the Arhat Fist to fight, but he used his strength but didn't use it. Although Lian Xing's palm technique was exquisite, he used Xu Zhengping's strength to counterattack him, but because of the strength of the fist, he didn't use it, so he couldn't do anything to Xu Zhengping. Influence.

After fighting for several moves, Lian Xing has already noticed Xu Zhengping's cunning, and knows that if only relying on the palm technique of moving flowers and jade, as long as the opponent does not use force, the two sides will never be able to tell the winner.

She didn't have so much time to spend with Xu Zhengping, she immediately used her true strength and began to display Mingyu Kung Fu.

The biggest characteristic of Mingyu Gong when facing the enemy is that it keeps one's own power introverted, without leaking the slightest bit, but can use it to injure the enemy without losing half of the true energy.

When the enemy fights with it, they will be drawn by the suction generated by the Mingyu Gong spinning in the body, resulting in continuous consumption of internal energy.

In order to resist this consumption, one often has to allocate part of one's energy to restrain one's internal energy, so the more one fights, the weaker one becomes. Even a practitioner whose skill is stronger than that of Mingyu Kungfu will undoubtedly lose in a protracted battle.

This is similar to Xu Zhengping's star-absorbing method, which will also form a cyclone in the dantian, increasing the opponent's internal energy consumption.

However, the consumption of Ming Yugong is greater and more obvious. It is to deliberately let the opponent know that his internal power is overflowing, so he has to be distracted to deal with it.

Xu Zhengping's method of absorbing stars is even more invisible and slow, aiming to boil the frog in warm water without the opponent noticing.

This time when he was fighting with Lian Xing, facing the magic of Ming Yu Gong, he dared not underestimate it, and immediately activated the star-absorbing method, repelling each other's internal force cyclone, and no one could deplete the other party's internal force.

However, Xu Zhengping's cultivation was far behind Lian Xing's by more than one level. Lian Xing saw that Xu Zhengping's demeanor was calm and his Ming Yugong could not consume his internal energy. Lian Xing simply exploded his true strength to suppress the attack, which immediately put Xu Zhengping in danger. ring life.
