From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 199 Mercy
The streets were silent and the autumn rain was lingering and bleak.

There were no stars or moon, only the torches held by Hu Qian and others were shining with a miserable light, unafraid of the autumn rain.

As soon as the two masters appeared on the stage, they showed their unique skills. Although there was no winner, they had already amazed everyone.

Xie Yisheng's face was slightly pale, and his usually steady and resolute eyes reflected a hint of madness, as if he was delighted to see prey.

Master Jueming held his staff in his hand, his face still showing the compassionate look of a great monk, but his eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of dust, and he looked a little ferocious.

"When I first started learning martial arts, I felt like I was the best in the world. But as I advanced further, my horizons broadened, and I felt more like a frog in a well looking at the moon."

"It's like a mayfly seeing the blue sky."

Seeing the masters fighting at this moment, Meng Yuan couldn't help but recall Li Weizhen's words.

Meng Yuan had experience in killing enemies of the same level and even across levels, but now he understood what Master Nie and others had been saying all along, which was that even among people of the same level, there was a huge difference in the level of their martial arts.

These two people are truly powerful. Meng Yuan is becoming more and more aware that the application of the secret treasures of heaven at a low level is just a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg. There are still many subjects that he has never been exposed to, and many secrets that he has never glimpsed.

Mingyue and Li Weizhen had mentioned this matter vaguely, but Master Nie had not said anything about it, but he had already found a sixth-rank master to teach.

Meng Yuan knew very well that he had taken too big a step. His abilities had improved, but his vision and experience had not kept up.

"Mr. Meng wants to learn Bodhi's Way of Extinction, why not come over and talk in detail?" Jie Kaiping saw that the two masters had stopped fighting and still had time to talk to Meng Yuan.

"Donor Meng, don't listen to his nonsense." Xuan Bei couldn't stand it anymore, and said immediately: "Bodhi Extinction is my Lanruo Temple's unique skill. If you want to be taught, you must get permission from the elders of the "Liao" generation, pass the test of enlightenment, make a great wish, and achieve it. Outsiders will never be able to comprehend and practice it."

"Buddhism is really a mess." Jie Kaiping put his hands together.

"..." Xuan Zhen glanced at the bald man who had untied the screen. He was stunned for a moment, but did not explain. He just bowed to Meng Yuan eleven times and said, "Bodhi's Way of Extinction has never been revealed to the outside world. Outsiders know its power but not its harm. The donor wanted to practice this method, but he received random instructions from outsiders, and outsiders do not understand the hardships involved."

"Tell me about it." Meng Yuan asked curiously.

"This method is too overbearing. It is a thunderbolt method and a compassionate act. It is more violent than the Vajra's angry eyes and Buddha's shaking mountains and rivers of our Buddhism." Xuan Bei advised seriously, "Floating Light Cave Heaven is to suddenly exhaust the jade liquid, which is like the pain of carrying a mountain. But the extinction of Bodhi is like the disaster of a bright mirror covered with dust."

After saying this, Xuan Bei clasped his hands together and bowed to Jiang Tang, saying, "Please advise your husband, Daoist Jiang, and don't let him go astray. If that happens, all his worries will be gone, and he will no longer have any feelings for the world. Isn't that a pity?"

Jiang Tang originally disliked Xuan Bei, but when she heard the words "respected husband" in his words, she felt that this monk Xuan Bei was quite polite.

"I will advise my husband." Jiang Tang returned the greeting and said, "Master, please don't threaten me with your words. I have fallen behind for nothing... Ouch!"

Jiang Tang was hit on the head, and when she turned around she saw Nie Yannian frowning.

"What a mess, you're talking about me and your husband!" Nie Yannian was annoyed, "Little girl, don't talk like a bull!"

"Yes." Jiang Tang nodded obediently.

Meng Yuan smiled and looked at Xuan Bei, saying, "Didn't Senior Brother Xuan Bei just say that you don't understand? Why are you talking so much?"

Xuan Bei was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, but could not utter a word. It was obvious that he realized that he had broken the precept of not speaking nonsense.

"Is this Bodhi Extinction Path and the Nine Transformations to Return to the Gods the same way?" Meng Yuan asked.

"No." Xuan Bei shook his head and said, "You are only at the seventh level of martial arts. Although you have glimpsed the method of heaven's secrets, you have not yet seen the changes in the secrets of heaven. When you ask a master for advice in the future, or when you step into the middle level of martial arts, you will understand the mystery."

Meng Yuan was still puzzled, so he went to see Nie Yannian. Unexpectedly, Nie Yannian pouted at Jie Kaiping.

"The two are indeed different." Jie Kaiping was very kind and explained, "Nine Transformations to Restore the Soul is an evil method, using the flesh and blood of others to repair oneself. But Bodhi's Way of Extinction is an act of extinction with great compassion. Whether your heart is covered with dust depends on the change of your own state of mind."

"Then wouldn't it be that heartless fools are the most suitable to learn? After all, fools don't care about anything." Hu Qian suddenly had an idea.

"Amitabha." Jie Kaiping shook his head again, "Donor Hu is wrong. A fool has no intention to save the world, no intention to relieve suffering, and naturally will not seek to prove the truth by destroying the truth."

As he spoke, he untied the screen and nodded, looking like a senior monk giving instructions, as if to say: A fool can't learn it!
Hu Qian thought that Kaiping seemed to be saying that she was stupid, so she hid behind Meng Yuan and said, "What nonsense!"

"The true body of the Vajra is beyond right and wrong, and the magpies and crows are always chirping." Jie Kaiping had no intention of getting into a fight with Hu Qian, but just smiled at Meng Yuan and said, "If you want to see the real mystery of the secret treasure of heaven, you might as well follow me."

The desire to open the screen and save people will never die.

"Your mother couldn't even save me, so it will be even more difficult for you, Brother Jie, to save someone like me who has all five poisons." Meng Yuan smiled.

He unfastened the screen and shook his head helplessly, as if muttering words of endless suffering.

Everyone here was chatting happily, but some people were also concentrating on watching the two people on the battlefield.

Li Wujiu of Qingyang Palace was still standing on the roof, letting the autumn rain hit him, but it made him look even more otherworldly.

He Jiulang and Xiong Wuwei did not look too worried, and seemed to be extremely confident in Xie Yisheng.

At this time, Xie Yisheng seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes were filled with joy. He said, "Master Jueming has indeed made great progress. I admire him very much."

"When the Tao is one foot high, the devil is one foot higher." Master Jueming shook his head slightly, "When Prince Xin was in Ping'an Prefecture, the donor was already extraordinary, and now he has gone a hundred feet further. The real sword has been unsheathed and is unstoppable."

"Master, you are still the same as yesterday." Xie Yisheng shook his head slightly. "Master, you suddenly saw the light of fireflies and thought it was the stars. It's really ridiculous. You might as well look up at the blue sky to know the vastness of the sun and the flawless whiteness of the moon."

"Amitabha." Jueming trembled slightly, a bit of hostility appeared on his kind face, and his eyes turned slightly red.

"Uncle Master is provoking you!" Xuan Bei said quickly, "Uncle Master is confused at the moment, please ask for help from Taoist Li of Qingyang Palace!"

"Why do we, the people of Lanruo Temple, need help from others?" Jueming picked up the staff and slammed it heavily into the bluestone floor.

"Jueming, may I ask what path your Bodhi is destroying?" Xie Yisheng asked with a smile.

"What an unfair world!" said Master Jueming.

"I don't think so!" Xie Yisheng held the sword in his hand, shook his head slightly, and said: "In the master's Bodhi extinction, there is too little compassion and too much violence. There is no calm enlightenment of picking up flowers and smiling, no compassionate heart of cutting flesh to feed eagles, only destroying flowers and leaves, burning cities and purgatory."

“Even the diamond can get angry sometimes.” Master Jueming’s cassock fluttered without wind, and was not stained by the autumn rain. “Ah, ah, ah!”

Master Jueming picked up the staff and waved it casually. There was no compassionate look on his face, but rather a bit of madness, as if he had entered the devil's way.

"Master Meng, do you still want to learn this method?" Jie Kaiping said with a smile.

"A gentleman is not born different." Meng Yuan replied with a smile.
