Martial Saint!.

Chapter 275: The Buddha's Way of Tribulation, General Outline of the Tathagata (4k)

In the center of the lotus platform, the old monk chuckled and asked:

"Do you know who I am?"

"Abbot Kongwen once saw Bodhidharma's stupa and realized the truth, and realized the wonderful Dharma of Bodhi. He once saw the Bodhisattva Golden-haired Roar appear in the world, subduing demons and monsters, and realized the Vajra Lion's Roar. He once killed the Crazy Dragon King who was wreaking havoc in the Central Plains with one palm, and destroyed the Blood Sea Demon Sect. Before he passed away, he realized the Dharma of the Buddha, created the "Tathagata Palm", and discussed the truth with Zhang Zu..."

As a top student, Lu Chenzhou knew the "History of Martial Arts of Daxia" by heart.

The ultimate achievement of the great monk Kongwen was not inferior to that of Zhang Zu. He is an indispensable figure in the history of Buddhist martial arts. Compared with the founder of Buddhism, Bodhidharma, he is even better than his master.

"Have you discovered my identity a long time ago?"

"...No, I just discovered it recently."

"How did you find out?"

"I talked to other disciples and they said that no one lives in Qingliang Peak."

"Hahaha."

The old monk laughed heartily.

"Interesting, interesting."

Lu Chenzhou was in a calm mood. If he had not talked to Zhang Zu before, he might have been shocked, but after meeting Zhang Zu, he had already expected this.

Such a person who once stood at the pinnacle of the times, comparable to the mighty power of today, had a will so strong that it might be enough to transcend the constraints of time and space and remain evergreen for eternity.

Dao Yun is their home.

The old monk asked:
"The Tathagata Palm I created has six moves in total, but with the abilities of future generations, I'm sure they've already deduced the seventh and eighth moves...

Therefore, there is no need for you to learn "Tathagata Palm" from me. The practice of martial arts is better now than in the ancient times. Learning from me is like giving up something near and seeking something far away.

I want to teach you a method called "The Heart Sutra of the Three Worlds and Ten Directions, the World Honored One's Tribulations", or "The World Honored One's Tribulations Method" for short. This is a method for refining the mind. You can also regard it as the general outline and prerequisite for practicing "The Palm of the Tathagata". If you can practice this method almost well, then practice "The Palm of the Tathagata", and even comprehend your own "World Honored One's Secret Learning", it is all possible, and everything is in accordance with the Dharma."

Lu Chenzhou pondered in his heart:
"The Buddha's method of experiencing the past calamities? I've never heard of it."

Now, he can basically be sure that these powerful people hidden behind the scenes are indeed not dead to some extent... because their wisdom and memory are still there. During the long years, they are still immersed in the illusions they have woven, continuing to study Buddhism and Taoism, and creating martial arts that have never been heard of by later generations.

He recalled the scene before Bodhidharma entered Taoism, when spirit and life were intertwined, and strange visions of heaven and earth emerged, and were finally entrusted to the Bodhidharma Wall, becoming the Taoist essence of later generations.

There is also Zhang Tianshi, with purple air coming from the east.

Lu Zu, lifted up the clouds and ascended to heaven.

These visions should all have explanations.

“The contemporary Grand Masters, Grand Masters, and even Heavenly Kings cannot do this. Only the founders of the Dao at the pinnacle of the era can remain in the essence of the Dao.

Moreover, people like Wang Zian, Ge Xianweng and others did not interact with me in the illusion. So far, only Zhang Zu and the monk Kongwen have interacted with me. This shows that not all the sages who left their Taoist secrets can discover my existence. "

These are all Lu Chenzhou's guesses.

Tao essence, martial arts will, heaven's will, life and death...

These are all too vague.

His realm is low and he cannot see the essence clearly.

The old monk said:

"Before I teach you the Dharma, I will ask you a few questions. They are not a test. If you know the answer, you know it. If you don't know the answer, you don't know it. There is no need to worry or try to fool me."

"Senior, please ask."

"What is the Buddha?"

"The Buddha possesses many virtues and is admired by the world, so he is called the World Honored One."

"What is robbery?"

"I don't understand what you are asking specifically."

"What is the heart?"

"The thought of man is the will of martial arts."

"What is..."

The old monk asked and Lu Chenzhou answered.

Before I knew it, there were already dozens of questions.

There were many questions that Lu Chenzhou couldn't answer.

The old monk was also not angry, and he always had a smile on his face.

Finally, he asked:
"Have you met Zhang Zu?"

"I've seen it."

"Is Zhang Zuke okay?"

"Zhang Zu failed to enter the sixth realm and became an immortal."

"I know that. I'm asking if it's okay now."

"...Oh, that's good."

Anyway, you are all in the Tao, free and at ease, without any disaster or catastrophe.

To some extent, isn’t this also becoming an immortal or a Buddha?
The old monk continued to ask:
"Do you have the intention to become a path-breaker?"

"I have."

"How many disasters are there in the world today?"

Lu Chenzhou told the old monk about the current situation in the world.

The world has suffered from three evils for a long time.

Take this opportunity to complain to the predecessors.

The old monk heard this and looked solemn. He suddenly sighed and said:

"Sure enough, the influence of the Netherworld has deepened."

"The good news is that martial arts are also growing rapidly, and humans are breaking through their limits at an increasingly faster rate. In Daxia alone, there are 14 seventh-level masters. If we include other overseas countries, there may be as many as 24 seventh-level masters."

The old monk didn't say anything.

He had seen the deepest horror.

Therefore, he is always shrouded in a layer of compassion.

He said:
"After you leave, you can give a copy of this method to the current abbot of Shaolin Temple."

"Junior, remember this."

Subsequently.

The old monk began to preach to Lu Chenzhou. Every word of his true words appeared in the sky and earth, forming a golden scroll that covered the sky and the sun. It was sacred and vast, and the Buddhist Dharma was boundless.

"The three realms and ten directions, the Tathagata..."

With Lu Chenzhou's current Buddhist wisdom and cultivation, it is actually difficult for him to understand the meaning of these mantras at the first time. But it doesn't matter, the old monk is giving him an epiphany.

What's more, he has the Martial Arts Tree...

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes.

He looked at his reflection in the reservoir.

"ended."

In my mind, the martial arts tree is swaying gracefully.

At some point, it had risen to eleven feet.

On the main trunk, new skills emerged:

[The Heart Sutra of the Three Worlds and Ten Directions: First Level (1%)]

The position of this internal skill is even higher than the "Pure Yang Great Pill Skill".

Even higher than "Ladder to the Clouds".

Being able to serve as the outline of "Tathagata Palm", it must be at the level of divine power, and the most special thing about it is that it is a pure method of refining the mind, similar to the meditation method of spiritual practitioners, or the mind intention created by Daxia.

Judging from the name, this one should be even more awesome.

Lu Chenzhou was digesting this enlightening information.

"The World Honored One's Tribulation Method. To practice this method, one needs to be at least at the third realm, or at least at the fifth realm in terms of boxing theory. Those who are not determined in martial arts should not practice it. Otherwise, it will not have the effect of refining the mind, but will easily get lost in the tribulation."

Lu Chenzhou was shocked.

"The learning conditions are so harsh, could it be a peerless magical skill?"

A large amount of information flooded into his mind and he stood there in a daze.

"The practice method of this Dharma is so wonderful." He turned around and returned to the direction of Shaolin Temple.

He wanted to fulfill his promise and pass this method on to the abbot of Shaolin.

On Qingliang Peak, everything is normal.

All the miracles that just happened only happened in Lu Chenzhou’s mind.

During the day, he had a conversation with the old monk.

In fact, it is just talking to oneself.

……

Mingxin looked at Lu Chenzhou who was coming back.

"Um, little friend, have you forgotten something?"

Lu Chenzhou clasped his fists and said:

"Senior, I want to see Abbot Huikong."

As soon as Lu Chenzhou opened his mouth, the little monk next to him laughed.

Even though you are the chief of Longcheng, can you meet Abbot Huikong whenever you want?

It is extremely difficult for a grandmaster to meet such an important figure.

Mingxin thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, wait for my news, little friend."

He is intuitive.

Lu Chenzhou wanted to see the abbot, which should be related to the enlightenment in the kitchen. The master said that Lu Chenzhou succeeded in enlightenment and must have also comprehended some wonderful martial arts. No matter what level of this martial arts, as long as it was created by the ancestors, it is valuable.

Not long after.

Tuotian Tou Tuo strode over and asked with a smile:
"Young friend, do you want to see the abbot?"

"Yes."

"What's the matter?"

"I succeeded in gaining enlightenment from the kitchen and learned a wonderful method."

He did not explain too much, nor did he say that it was the monk Kongwen who ordered him to do so. After all, communicating with a dead sage through the air was too shocking.

It's normal to just comprehend martial arts.

Tuotian Tou Tuo laughed loudly and said:
"Come with me."

He knew that Lu Chenzhou had succeeded in attaining enlightenment.

During this period, some masters and grand masters raised doubts. They felt that since Lu Chenzhou failed to attain enlightenment, he should not continue to live in the holy land of the kitchen.

In the end, he was suppressed by Totian Toudao with a tough attitude.

He is the true disciple of Abbot Huikong and holds a high status.

Some people, even if they are dissatisfied, dare not speak out.

Not long after, Lu Chenzhou followed the monk to a seven-story pagoda. The entire pagoda was carved and stacked from white jade, and its surface was covered with moss and ivy.

Tuotian Toudao said:
"There are two entrances to the virtual world where Songshan City is located, one large and one small. The large one is located in a village at the foot of Songshan Mountain and is guarded by the military. There has also been a small entrance inside our Shaolin Temple since ancient times, and that is this pagoda."

Lu Chenzhou asked:
"Senior, is this the Demon Subduing Tower?"

According to the History of Martial Arts, during the reign of Dadu, an ancient well in the back mountain of Shaolin Temple suddenly gushed out blood, and bloody smoke rose into the sky, which could be seen for hundreds of miles. It turned out that the terrifying power of the underworld and the human world converged, opening up a door to the underworld here.

A large number of demons and monsters poured out from the netherworld, including demon kings and ghost kings. The strong men of Shaolin Temple went out in full force, wandering masters and lay disciples also hurried back to Shaolin. Monks from Mount Wutai, Taoists from Mount Qiyun, hermits from Mount Zhongnan and other places came to help.

The battle lasted for three days and nights, with blood flowing like a river, soaking the Buddhist pure land.

Finally, the monk Kongwen was promoted to the fifth realm, and together with Zhang Zu who came over from overseas, they killed the culprit, the great demon king Red-eyed King, and the threat of demons and ghosts was finally quelled.

After this battle, many masters were killed in the martial arts world.

The monk Zhang Zuhe obtained white jade from Kunlun Mountain and many other natural treasures, and invited Buddhist and Taoist masters to perform a ritual for 49 days to refine this pagoda.

Its name is: Seven-story Pagoda!

The pagoda contains the power of martial arts will of the world's masters and could be regarded as the most precious treasure in the world at that time. Shaolin Temple used this pagoda to suppress the ancient well. Over the following thousand years, the ancient well occasionally moved strangely, but the demons under the pagoda were unable to break the seal and descend to the world.

The last time the seal was broken was in modern times.

At this time, there were countless Buddhist masters who easily suppressed it.

The seven-story pagoda was also continuously reinforced. After entering the modern era, the military and Songshan joined forces to clear out the demons and monsters in the virtual land under the tower.

In this way, the pagoda becomes a simple entrance and exit.

However, for safety reasons, this entrance and exit is not open to traffic except in emergencies or with special approval from high-level officials. If you want to go to Songshan City, you have to take the military passage.

Tuotian Toudao said:
"That's right. The Seven-Story Pagoda gathers the wills of many masters and the wishes of all living beings. It is actually a rare place of Taoism. However, due to its special nature, it cannot be opened to the public. The Taoism in it is a collective Taoism, which is relatively chaotic and disordered.

Those who are not determined in martial arts are easily lost. You need to calm your mind. If you can pass the test, it will be of great benefit to your spiritual practice."

"Thank you, senior!"

Lu Chenzhou knew that this was an opportunity given to him by the monk.

Otherwise, you can just take the military channel.

The ascetic put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and walked into the pagoda.

Lu Chenzhou followed closely behind, and the Tiger Gallbladder Gun behind him was vibrating with a buzzing sound.

【There is a demon! 】

After being promoted to a mid-level divine weapon, the Tiger Gallbladder Spear became extremely sensitive to demonic energy and could still distinguish it even after being diluted countless times by the passage of time.

Moreover, its spiritual wisdom becomes increasingly anthropomorphic.

Through telepathic communication, there is no obstacle in communicating with Lu Chenzhou.

An old, decayed smell hit me in the face.

Tuotian Tou Tuo lifted up a white jade manhole cover weighing tens of tons with one hand.

He said:
"Are you ready?"

"All right."

"I jump, you jump."

The old monk fell lightly from the well.

Lu Chenzhou looked at the bottom of the well that seemed to be bottomless and led straight to the underworld.

Countless visions seemed to flash through my mind:
There were demonic clouds and ghost fog that covered the sky, a big-headed ghost with a green face and fangs, a centipede with a human face and a thousand legs, a blazing fire ghost... and a red demon fox that reached the sky and the earth, with a human face and a fox body, nine tails on its back, and it exuded a monstrous demonic aura.

"The nine-tailed demon fox... has already become a celestial fox."

For every additional fox demon, its strength increases by one point.

Three tails equals breaking two.

Five tails equals broken three.

Seven tails equals broken four.

Nine-Tailed Fox... is equivalent to a grandmaster!
This must be the ancient great demon king, the Red Fox King, recorded in the history of martial arts!
Like Blood Tengu, they are both well-known villains.

The remaining wills of countless demons and ghosts formed a collective and transformed into a shadow monster with tens of thousands of tentacles. It appeared in Lu Chenzhou's mind. The strength of its mental fluctuations was even greater than that of the assassin, but Lu Chenzhou was no longer the same as before. The shadow of the martial arts tree in his mind rustled, and it waved out billions of branches like a world tree.

Tentacles and branches collided and annihilated each other.

Xuan Hu and Fei Yan soared into the sky and attacked the shadow monster directly.

Not long after, the shadow monster collapsed.

Tiger Tai Sui calmly sharpened his knife but did not make any move.

Lu Chenzhou's mental strength may be as strong as that of the spiritual practitioners of the same level in the ancient country of Posa. Mental attacks of this intensity cannot shake him in the slightest.

In the mind.

Thousands of demons and monsters disappeared.

The clouds and mist parted, revealing a jade-like building high in the sky.

The figures in the sky stand in the clouds, like heavenly soldiers and generals.

The leaders were a monk and a Taoist priest.

Looking closely, they are just ordinary warriors wearing ordinary clothes. In this world, where are the real gods and Buddhas? Human peace and happiness must be achieved with our own hands. How can we pin our hopes on something illusory?
