Chapter 54 The Troubles of True Wisdom (Please click for recommendations)
"What?" With Xuanbei's restraint, he was also shocked and lost his voice at this time, with a face full of disbelief.
Bang!
He was originally going to throw the sword back to the weapon rack to comfort Meng Qi, but when his hand shook, the sword directly hit the weapon rack, bounced to the ground, and failed to insert it as he wished. This was an absolute disaster for the strong man in the outdoor scene. Abnormal!
Meng Qi used the fourth care method of the Golden Bell Cover with all his strength, and his skin turned dark gold. He repeated his previous words: "Master, I have completed the fourth level of the Golden Bell Cover."
"What happened to you?" Xuanbei put away his gaffe, but could not hide his surprise.
Yesterday, my apprentice only broke through to the third level, and today he has reached the fourth level. This speed is like listening to a fairy tale!
Meng Qi prepared his words before entering the door. He didn't even raise his head and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, when I watched my master practice swordsmanship, I vaguely felt that the red dust is like a furnace and it will cut off my purity."
"When I was practicing the fourth level of exercise today, there were both hot and cold, and there were noisy birds chattering next to me. The triple torture was added to the body, and it was extremely torturous and almost unbearable. At this moment, the disciple somehow remembered this charm. , I suddenly realized that the world of mortals is like a furnace, and the heaven and earth are like a furnace. Isn’t the current torture just the furnace fire adding to my body, tempering my body, polluting my soul, and destroying my purity? "
"Later, later, the disciple managed to pass the fourth level in a daze."
All the feelings and realizations that Meng Qi described were true. Except for the source of the sword intent, there were nine truths and one falsehood, leaving no room for doubt.
But he knew that his master was an expert in exterior scenes, and it was difficult to hide the changes in his body and expression from him, so he controlled his heartbeat and buried his head to prevent his master from seeing his expression.
After listening to Meng Qi's explanation, Xuanbei's shock and doubt faded a lot, because if these insights were not real, they would not be perfect in explanation, and there would definitely be loopholes.
He pondered for a moment, and Lao Huai smiled comfortingly: "You are destined to this sword technique. You can grasp the charm of the sword technique from the first time you watch it, and you have an epiphany from it."
It is not difficult to grasp the charm. If you really observe the sword technique for a period of time, as long as you are not dull, you will feel it more or less. What is difficult is to realize the true meaning and grasp the true meaning of the sword technique.
"Thank you, Master, for demonstrating the sword technique." Meng Qi started beating snakes with the stick and quickly shifted his focus to his master's practice of "Ananda's sword technique."
Xuanbei frowned slightly and said solemnly: "This matter must not be spread to outsiders. You are still in the enlightenment stage. According to the commandments, you cannot watch me practice another stunt, even if my teacher allows it."
"Although you only grasped the charm and did not understand the changes and true meaning of the sword technique, you have gained a lot from this epiphany. I am afraid that the Discipline Academy will not believe that you just watched it accidentally."
Normally, you have to watch at least deliberately many times before you can have the basis for enlightenment.
"Disciple saved me." Meng Qi was in the stage of carefully concealing himself and looking for opportunities to go out and escape. Naturally, he did not want to deal with those group of disciplined monks who love to be serious. "But when the disciple passed the fourth level today, he was beaten by Master Xuanku and Uncle Xuanku." Senior Brother Zhenchang saw it..."
Xuanbei nodded kindly: "It doesn't matter. There is no precedent for people who have mastered the first four levels of the Golden Bell Cover in less than three months. They are all monks with strong foundations. As long as Senior Brother Xuanku and Senior Nephew Zhenchang don't know that you just completed it yesterday The third level is enough, and they will at most praise you for practicing the Golden Bell Shield."
"Then I'll be relieved, disciple." Meng Qi breathed a long sigh of relief. This was a reflection of his true emotions, genuine.
"Well, you can adjust your breath and consolidate yourself." Xuanbei said in a pleasant tone.
Entering the meditation room, Zhenhui, who happened to be taking a rest, asked strangely: "Brother, why are you so early today?"
"Hey, senior brother, I have mastered the fourth level of the Golden Bell Cover." In front of his familiar junior brother, Meng Qi said proudly without any pretense. He was shocked, shocked, and unbelievable!
Zhenhui said "Oh" and seemed to think this was normal. She said with a smile: "Senior brother, you have always wanted to practice stunts such as the Flower Finger and the No-Phase Tribulation Finger. Now it seems that the Golden Bell Cover is the most suitable for you. ”
This guy has no common sense! And doesn’t this mean that I “don’t say it with my mouth, but my body is very honest”? Meng Qi secretly scolded Zhenhui:
"Maybe I can practice other stunts faster?"
"I don't know." Zhenhui answered honestly, without any sense of flattery.
Meng Qi coughed: "Of course, by mastering the fourth level of the Golden Bell Cover in one day, senior brother, I can be regarded as an unprecedented person, and there are very few who will come after me."
"Senior brother, you are so powerful!" This description was similar to the allusions of Jianghu and martial arts rumors, and Zhenhui immediately became excited.
Meng Qi covered his face and sighed softly. This guy really had to speak very clearly to be understood. There was no need to expect any extraneous meaning.
…………
More than half a year later, it is late autumn again, with fallen leaves falling and the sky clear and crisp.
In the night under the caress of the cold moon, Meng Qi and Zhen Hui were walking in the temple holding lanterns. Tonight was their turn to patrol, and they were assigned a relatively biased route.
"This life is so good!" Meng Qi took a deep breath of cool air and praised with satisfaction.
There has been no reincarnation mission for ten months, which is really surprising!
After mastering the fourth level of the Golden Bell Jar, Meng Qi resumed morning and evening classes and resumed studying at the Lecture School. However, he still went to the stupa every afternoon to "meditate and accumulate energy" with the help of the harsh environment. Due to the accumulation of true energy, Condensing the acupoints was a laborious process, and his progress was relatively slow.
However, by properly arranging the "Ganoderma Lingzhi Buqi Pills" and the elixirs provided by Xuanbei, he was still able to accumulate qi within seven months, and condensed the six acupoints related to the eye orifices, so he is very hopeful for the next reincarnation. The task is two months later, so that I can complete the condensation of the nine acupoints, and only need Tiancong pills or hard work to open them up.
Of course, if the reincarnation mission started now, Meng Qi would not be depressed or afraid. Compared with ten months ago, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds, as if he was a different person.
Zhen Hui, who was next to her, had long been accustomed to her senior brother's strange behavior like convulsions from time to time. She was not surprised by his praise. Instead, she said, "Yes, it's a good life like this. You can eat, sleep and practice."
His slightly childish face smiled sincerely.
In the past ten months, although his flower-twisting finger has not yet broken through to the stage of "Qi Accumulation", it has made great progress. .
Moreover, he is in the stage of body growth. Due to the lack of food, sleep and exercise, he has grown a full head taller, has long eyebrows and a handsome face.
Eat and sleep first, you pig! Meng Qi glanced sideways at Zhenhui.
After ten months, he has grown a lot taller. He is no longer the figure of a child. He has a somewhat teenage appearance. There is also a little fine hair growing on his lips. Moreover, his appearance has not changed. When he was sitting quietly, he looked gentle and handsome. The only thing that made Meng Qi dissatisfied was that his eyes were slightly narrow and narrow, making him look more handsome and less masculine.
As they walked, Zhenhui suddenly said: "Senior brother, I think senior brother Zhenyong is weird."
"What's wrong?" Meng Qi asked doubtfully.
The surrounding trees and trees look like monsters in the dark night.
Zhenhui complained: "Senior brother Zhenyong often goes out to me and tells me stories, but his stories are not pleasant at all. Well, he always asks me about my progress in finger-twisting, saying that this is the hardest thing to learn. Very interested in the stunts.”
After hearing the first half, Meng Qi felt that Zhenhui was thinking too much, but when Zhenhui finished speaking, his expression became solemn: "He asked you about finger-twisting? Were the questions detailed?"
"In detail, they always ask me what obstacles are in my luck, which routes I take, why I practice so quickly..." Zhenhui said in a broken voice. He didn't think this was anything serious, just that Confide to a trusted senior brother.
Master said not to tell outsiders, but Senior Brother Zhenyong keeps asking questions, which is really annoying, and he always asks me to go out, which delays cultivation!
Meng Qi suspected that Zhenyong wanted to secretly learn "flower fingering". As a monk who has not yet made his debut in the martial arts academy, it is normal to have this idea, but why would he target the most difficult to learn "flower fingering"?
And now that I think about it, some of the details of my previous interactions with Zhenyong are a bit unusual.
"Then did you tell him the method of 'twisting the fingers'?" Meng Qi had to confirm this first.
Zhenhui shook her head: "Master told me not to say it."
"Very good. We will report this matter to Master early tomorrow morning." Meng Qi didn't want to investigate by himself. If he followed the clues and discovered an enemy that he couldn't deal with, he would be in big trouble. At that time, others might confuse right and wrong. , accusing himself of spewing nonsense, so it was the most correct choice to report it directly to the master and let the elder, the master, investigate.
Zhenhui didn't have any doubts about his senior brother's suggestion, and nodded in good mood. At this moment, he turned his eyes, pointed to a few big trees nearby and said: "Senior Brother Zhenyong got behind it once. "
"Ah? How do you know?" Meng Qi was surprised and suspicious.
Zhenhui said honestly: "After we separated that time, I suddenly thought that there was something unclear in the story, so I turned around and chased Senior Brother Zhenyong, and happened to see him get behind a tree."
"Then what?" Meng Qi's mouth twitched.
Zhenhui answered unconsciously: "I was afraid that Senior Brother Zhenyong was in trouble, so I waited for a while and saw that he didn't come out. It was time to practice again, so I went back."
Meng Qi nodded slightly. Because he was right next to him, he became curious. He held a lantern and went to the tree to look inside.
There are many big trees inside, which are layered on top of each other, blocking the view and making it difficult to see clearly.
Meng Qi listened for a while but found no movement, so he got between a few trees and moved forward cautiously without leaving any traces.
Zhenhui was very interested and followed her senior brother's appearance and movements.
After walking for about ten steps, Meng Qi's eyes lit up and there were no trees blocking his eyes.
This is a protruding cliff, with heavy clouds and mist below, making it impossible to see the bottom - the Shaolin Temple is built on the mountain, and many places are cliffs instead of outer walls.
"Cliff..." Meng Qi looked around doubtfully, wondering what Zhenyong was doing here.
After just a few glances, Meng Qi suddenly froze, his heart moved, and he listened attentively. Then, he pulled Zhenhui over, extinguished the lantern, and hid behind a big tree.
There was a slight sound of footsteps, and a figure in gray monk robes sneaked in.
