    Xuan Nan hurried back to the Shaolin Temple and told his good friend Xuan Tong what he saw and heard on the way.

    Xuan Tong pondered for a long time and said with a smile: "I thought that the Master of the Health Preservation Hall was interested in the world, but I didn't know that was not the case at all."

    Xuan Ji said: "Why?"

    Xuan Tong smiled and said: "Junior brother, are you testing me? Since Empress Dowager Gao is not dead, she can leave the country behind and discuss the issue of getting out of this world with the health-preserving hall master. How can the health-preserving hall master put away the things she left behind?"  In the eyes.¡±

    Xuannan sighed: "My little brother is not thinking about this, but whether Patriarch Bodhidharma is really not dead and has gone to other worlds?"

    Xuan Tong muttered: "With our current martial arts, it seems that it is not the time to talk about these. To discuss those, not to mention mastering the seventy-two stunts, we must be proficient in at least twelve."

    Xuannan smiled bitterly and said: "It's difficult! It's really difficult! With the abbot's current age and martial arts, the hope is not small. We don't have the slightest hope. What does it matter if we don't say it?"

    Xuan Tong nodded and said: "That's true. If I ask Brother Yu, of course I hope that Bodhidharma is not dead. But what I hope most is to see Buddha after death. In addition, junior brother said that we have no hope, but that's not necessarily the case. We  What Zen Buddhism pays more attention to is enlightenment. Otherwise, why would the abbot¡¯s martial arts be so high at such a young age? Persistence is important, but we are Zen! In the past, we focused solely on martial arts, which was the wrong path. Without Buddhism as the basis, we still can¡¯t do it.  How to achieve enlightenment? If we do it step by step, can we still be considered Zen?"

    Xuan Tong let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "Alas! I keep going the wrong way, and the further I go, the farther I go!"

    Xuannan sighed and said: "The truth is simple. I understood it when I first started, but it only stayed on the surface and did not go deep. The simpler the truth, the easier it is to be ignored and the harder it is to go deep. However, I suddenly understood that health preservation  The hall master¡¯s true purpose is to treat illnesses and save people.¡±

    Xuan Tong said: "That's practice."

    Xuan Dong said: "It's the same as our Shaolin monks who act chivalrously and uphold justice in the world. But we only talk about it as a practice, and not many people really understand it."

    Xuan pained and said with a smile: "In the final analysis, it is to cultivate compassion, based on Zen skills, with a solid foundation, and the seventy-two unique skills can be mastered by oneself without a teacher."

    XuanNan said with a sad face: "I still think it's too late to know these truths. Although our martial arts can be greatly improved by this, let alone catching up with Bodhidharma, the master of the health hall, even the abbot, we are still far away.  Not as good as that!¡±

    Xuan Tong said: "Unknowingly, we have received favors from the Master of the Health Preservation Hall. If he doesn't aspire to the world, why should he benefit the world?"

    Xuannan smiled and said: "Did Patriarch Bodhidharma benefit the world in the same way, and even benefited countless people in later generations. In comparison, the behavior of the leader of the Health Preservation Hall is not only normal, but also vaguely inferior to Patriarch Bodhidharma."

    Xuan Tong frowned and said, "The Patriarch Bodhidharma is a great virtuous person with compassion, but it seems that the Master of the Health Preservation Hall is not!"

    Xuan Quan said: "That's because the master of the Yangsheng Hall has only made his debut in just two or three years. As time goes by, after being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he may not be as good as he is!"

    Xuan Tong frowned deeply and said: "No matter what, I still think he is far inferior to Patriarch Bodhidharma. However, there are really many masters in the world today. We cannot compare to Gang Leader Qiao Feng and Abbot Xu Zhu, and they cannot compare to Xiao Yuanshan and  Murong Bo's senior masters and Xiao Yuanshan are not as good as those hidden masters like the unknown monk. The unknown monk is not as good as the Master of the Health Preservation Hall and the empress dowager Gao who have achieved Taoism. The Master of the Health Preservation Hall is not as good as those of Bodhidharma.  A foreigner."

    Xuannan laughed and said: "The real masters outside this world are the masters who have stepped out of this world. In the world today, the Master of the Health Hall and the Empress Dowager Gao are still the highest. If there are masters who are higher than them from somewhere, it will be natural."  Where is it?"

    Xuan Tong said: "Junior brother, it's better to be careful with what you say. Maybe we don't have enough knowledge."

    Xuannan smiled and said: "I won't believe it even to death. If you don't reach the top of this world, how can you get out of this world? There is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. But what I am talking about is only within this world, not the lives of Patriarch Bodhidharma.  A foreigner."

    Xuan Tong said: "Everyone knows that the way of martial arts is endless. Patriarch Bodhidharma is thousands of miles away from Buddha. But it is precisely because those people are far away from us that everyone likes to turn a blind eye, and over time they will naturally ignore them.  .For example, the sword god Zhuo Bufan. He was defeated by the master of the Yangsheng Hall when he first debuted. Of course, he had no shame to be called the sword god and fell silent for a while. But now he is not ashamed of the battle, but proud of it, and he has become arrogant again. He wants to start.  His title of Sword God is something even our Shaolin dared to offend."

    Xuannan said in a deep voice: "That villain used despicable means to defeat Junior Brother Xuanshi by half a move, and then spread the word about it. But he refused to fight, so I missed my chance again."

     Xuan Tong said: "Since he has learned the strength of our Shaolin from Junior Brother Xuanshi, of course he does not dare to challenge casually and lose the golden sign that he finally won. He is extremely arrogant, but he is not stupid."

    Xuannan said in a dumbfounded voice: "That's right! Since he knew he couldn't be a real Sword God, he decided to do the next best thing and become a Sword God in the eyes of most people. Anyway, in the eyes of those who didn't know enough, he was different from the real Sword God.  What's the difference? On the surface, he is extraordinary, but in the final analysis, he is a villain at heart. It's not that his martial arts is not good, but his character is too low. Otherwise, with his martial arts, it would not be difficult to achieve success in the world. "

    Xuan Tong said: "The authorities are confused, but bystanders are clear. It is easy to talk about others, but it is difficult to be good at yourself. If it is not for the reputation of Shaolin, why should the junior brother go to him to settle accounts? If he is not trying to maintain the reputation that he has finally won, why should he be a little brother?  A human act.¡±

    XuanNan clenched his fists and said, "The most irritating thing is that he goes around saying that our Shaolin monks are all idiots with low qualifications. They have been practicing the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin since childhood, but they are still not as good as them."  Those who are self-taught. Those who say that Shaolin monks are compassionate and chivalrous are all lies. Otherwise, why not make the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin public so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of martial arts treasures?"

    Xuan Tong said: "Aren't Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo the same back then? Compared to them, Zhuo Bufan is nothing, just a clown. But no wonder they think so. In the past, even we thought that Shaolin's basic skills were the seventy-two stunts, but we didn't know  The real foundation is those humble Buddhist teachings, which are always picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons.¡±

    XuanNan said with a complex expression: "It's not that I really understand those principles, but that those things are too ethereal and lack tangible benefits, unlike the progress in martial arts that allows people to persevere.  "

    Xuan Tong nodded his head and sighed: "So what if I know, so what if I don't know. It's still like fishing for the moon in the water, it's elusive."

    The two looked at each other with only forced smiles, their hot hearts half cold.  Shaolin has neither Buddhist scriptures that teach truth, nor martial arts secrets, nor the experiences of eminent monks of all ages.  There are so many Buddhist scriptures that you can study them all in a lifetime.  Of the seventy-two unique skills, each eminent monk of the Xuan generation can only master five or six.  It¡¯s not like these eminent monks don¡¯t study Buddhist scriptures.  But Buddhist scriptures do not represent Buddhism, and secret manuals do not represent martial arts.

    Practicing the seventy-two stunts separately is like carrying a seventy-two-pound object separately, and the difficulty is dozens of times lower.  If you think that you can succeed in cultivation separately and you can definitely do it together, that would be oversimplifying things.  It is very difficult to understand the Buddhist teachings separately, sentence by sentence, and to integrate them together.  Understanding those words and words doesn¡¯t mean you understand the Dharma.

    It is also the Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Art, but the Qin Dynasty integrated it into the Beiming Divine Art, and its power is completely different.  The same straw, some are insignificant, and some can break the camel's back.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Beiming Divine Art, but Qin Chao, Duan Yu, and Wu Yazi have very different practices.  A slight difference can lead to a loss of thousands of miles.

    The same Six Meridian Divine Sword is extremely difficult to cultivate in the eyes of the eminent monks in Tianlong Temple, but it is extremely easy to cultivate in Duan Yu's hands, with completely different difficulties.

    "Is it the same difficulty for a martial arts master to carry something that weighs 72 kilograms as it is for a child who can't even walk?

    ??????????? Is the power of an ordinary palm strike from an adult¡¯s hand the same as that from a child¡¯s hand?

    That¡¯s not a question of technique!

    "Does a simple sentence have the same meaning in Qin Chao's heart as in Xuannan's heart?

    That¡¯s not a question of whether you know or not!  relative!  If you think this site is good, please remember to help promote it!  This site!
