different paths

With a bang, the "middle finger" that should not be out of control was broken in front of Shouxi's eyes, and drooped lifelessly.

"Ashamed, ashamed." Jia Wuzhen stood on the bamboo tip with arms folded, and looked at Yu Shouxi with a smile.

Although Yu Shouxi lost, he was still smiling: "What a trick, it's the old man who lost, and I'm willing to bet and admit defeat."

Jia Wujue just made a move that looked like a punching punch, but it was not intended to take Yu Shouxi's "little finger", but a feint, a slanted chop, and it crushed Yu Shouxi's "middle finger".The so-called "shaking" in boxing does not mean shaking, but refers to changing shapes and shadows, making people unpredictable. Jia Wujue's swaying is exactly in line with the true meaning of this.

When the two returned to the ground, Bie Shoubei was still reciting the "Southern China Sutra" shaking his head, Yu Shouxi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Look, if you didn't memorize it too slowly, I must have won at this moment." .”

Bie Shoubei closed his mouth slowly, opened it again, and said slowly: "The skills are inferior to others, there is no excuse."

Yu Shouxi stroked his long beard with a smile, but did not refute.However, Jia Wujue knew that Yu Shouxi was not inferior to others in terms of skills, but his physical skills were much higher than him by many realms.If Yu Shouxi hadn't set such a rule first, although he could take off Yu Shouxi's "one finger" by feinting, it would not be easy for the opponent to completely destroy that "bamboo claw" after he gained experience.The other party intends to keep him alive, and he can see clearly.

Just as he was thinking about it, he listened to Gui Shoudong: "Old Yu is over, it must be my turn now, right?" He looked at Yue Chentan with a smile on his face, quite eager to try.

Yue Shentan's eyes were like a cold pool, and he was as immovable as a mountain.

Jia Wuju coughed, and asked knowingly: "The old man wants to compete with Brother Yue?"

Gui Shoudong nodded with a smile.

Jia Wujue glanced at Yue Chentan, and then said: "If the old man doesn't dislike it, I—"

Before he finished speaking, he listened to Gui Shoudong: "What's the matter? Kid, do you want to compete on his behalf?"

"Brother Yue is sick, I'm afraid I can't let the old man enjoy himself, how about me instead?" Jia Wuju enthusiastically suggested.He didn't talk nonsense, firstly, Yue Chentan acted very strange when we reunited from Chuiyun Temple, and secondly, the poison he had received in Hanzan Palace had just been cured not long ago, no matter in what sense, Yue Chentan was indeed It is "sick".

Gui Shoudong raised his long eyebrows when he heard the words, "Oh? Are you feeling well?"

Jia Wuhai nodded emphatically, looking at him expectantly.

Unexpectedly, Gui Shoudong immediately waved his hand and said: "Since the kid is sick, then the old man won't compete with him in martial arts, just a verbal fight is fine."

Jia Wujue patted his chest: "If you want to talk about words, the old man should choose me."

Gui Shoudong smiled slightly: "But this old man's war of words is going to be fought on Buddhism, are you sure you will win?"

Hearing the word "Buddhist principles", Jia Wuchai could only pucker his mouth and step aside: "This, I really can't beat it."

Gui Shoudong laughed, and looked towards Yue Chentan, who was also looking at him.Seeing the other party's eyes like ancient wells and eyebrows like snowy peaks, Gui Shoudong sighed secretly, but said nothing on his face: "I heard that the kid is a disciple of Buddhism, and I happen to have a few questions about Buddhism that I can't understand. If the kid can How about persuading the old man, even if you win, kid?"

How to decide whether this is convincing or not?Just as Jia Wujue was about to speak, he heard Yue Chentan spit out four words coldly: "Please tell me, Your Excellency." Jia Wujue had no choice but to shut his mouth again.

"The ancients once said that 'Buddha is always in the world, not contaminated by the world's laws', so if you want to become a Buddha, you must break the shackles of all things, right?" Gui Shoudong looked at Yue Chentan and said.

"Yes." Yue Chentan only dropped one word.

"Since this is the case, the clear rules and precepts, the love of father and mother, and all the ties of kindness and power in the world, aren't they all bondage?" Returning to the East, "If you want to become a Buddha, you must kill your father, murder your mother, shed the blood of the Buddha, break the peace and reconciliation with the monks. , Burning sutras and images, and creating the five uninterrupted karma."

Yue Chentan frowned, but did not answer immediately.

Gui Shoudong glanced at him, and continued to speak unhurriedly: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be easier for those thieves and those who have forgotten their ancestors to become Buddhas than ordinary people who are bound by etiquette?"

"No." Yue Chentan said suddenly: "This parent is not that parent. Ignorance is the father, and greed is the mother. Going to the pure dharma realm, where there is darkness everywhere, and all dharmas are calm, is to shed the blood of the Buddha's body. The mind is pure, the afflictions are resolved, and the afflictions are emptied, which is the breaking of harmony. The understanding of karma and all dharmas is nothing but emptiness, without pursuit, without attachment, and it is to burn the scriptures and images." At this point, he paused and said, "If you break away from the true meaning of Buddhism and only work on words, what's the difference between you and evil demons?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly found that his long-standing stagnant cultivation realm seemed to have found a breakthrough.

"That's right, I really don't know my original mind, and studying the Dharma is useless." Gui Shoudong's words, like Hong Zhong Dalu, echoed deep in his mind, shaking his meridians, and his blood surging, "The ancients said, 'It's not vulgar. That is to say, the bones of a fairy, the heart of a Buddha is full of love. This old man has never been able to understand the true meaning of this. Listening to a child’s words today, I have some experience. The so-called “love and ruthlessness share a family” is also what it means.”

But with the power of original compassion, love and ruthlessness are in the same family.

Yue Chentan suddenly became enlightened, the voice of returning to the east gradually faded away in his mind, he closed his eyes, only to feel that Baihui acupoint, temple, tiger's mouth, and dantian all began to pulsate suddenly, each one was stronger than the next, and the lingering sound lingered in his ears for a long time scattered.Suddenly, a warm feeling emerged from his dantian, quickly spread to his limbs, impacting on his joints that had been stagnant for a long time.

Jia Wujue saw that Gui Shoudong and Yue Chentan were relatively silent for a while, and Yue Chentan's head emitted genuine energy, thinking that Yue Chentan had been driven into a madness by Gui Shoudong.Just as he was about to rush forward, Gui Shoudong turned his head and shook his head kindly at him.

Seeing this, Yu Shouxi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, that kid is about to break through."

"Breakthrough?" Jia Wuhai asked puzzled, "What does the old man mean that his skill is about to increase? Why did he choose this time..."

"The epiphany is only in an instant." Yu Shouxi said, "I am afraid that the conversation between Lao Gui and him gave him a new understanding of his martial arts."

"Then this competition—"

Yu Shouxi patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, your little friend won, otherwise Lao Gui wouldn't help him break through."

Seeing that Gui Shoudong had adjusted Yue Chentan to the meditation posture of three flowers gathered on the top, he also crossed his legs and sat cross-legged opposite Yue Chentan.But after a while, Gui Shou Dong's head was also filled with genuine energy, and the two of them closed their eyes tightly, sweating like rain, but remained motionless.Suddenly, there were bursts of deep "Weng" sounds in the bamboo forest, as if resonating from the bamboo cavity.
