Chapter 345 Master and Disciple’s Secret Words (Third Update)
Compared with when he was at Yumen Pass, Zhenhui had grown taller and was only an inch shorter than Meng Qi. He had handsome features and a thin body, and his gray monk robes also showed a spotless temperament. If not for his excited and brilliant smile, he would have been especially handsome. With a little childishness, he is almost the image of a wonderful monk that Meng Qi yearns for.
Cough, Meng Qi coughed lightly: "Junior brother, it's a long story. Let me take a sip of water and tell it slowly."
This was the dialogue when Zhenhui begged Meng Qi to tell the story.
Zhenhui nodded heavily and said with a pure heart, "Well, I've already boiled the water!"
As he spoke, he led Meng Qi into the temple and towards the small courtyard where Xuan Bei lived in his memory.
"Master is in retreat?" Taking this opportunity, Meng Qi confirmed the matter.
Zhenhui said without any concealment: "Master lost the opportunity to go to the upper level of the stupa to practice. He has been in retreat intermittently in the past few years to lay a solid foundation and find his own way."
Meng Qi had expected this, but when he actually heard it, he still felt bitter. After all, his master gave up the opportunity for himself.
Zhenhui looked at Meng Qi seriously: "Senior brother, master asked me not to mention this matter when I meet you in the future, but I always feel that this kind of thing should not be hidden from you, and I still have to tell you."
His eyes were clear, without any distracting thoughts or unfamiliarity.
Meng Qi, who felt sour in his heart and was about to feel sad and blame himself, suddenly became embarrassed and said, "Junior brother, you really have a strong opinion!"
"Ahem, little junior brother, you really should tell me this, but I'd better listen to Master's words as much as possible." Meng Qi didn't know how to respond, so he could only be vague.
Hearing this, Zhenhui smiled brightly: "I knew you would praise me, senior brother!"
"Senior brother, after two years of seclusion, I have opened the four orifices, and I have also achieved some success in finger-twisting. Master said that throughout the ages, my current progress in practicing finger-twisting can be ranked among the top three..." Zhenhui looked at it with bright eyes. Holding Meng Qi, it looks like offering a treasure.
Meng Qi smiled happily and said: "That's right, that's right. The difficulty of finger-twisting cultivation is famous all over the world. If you can achieve it at the age of sixteen and open the four orifices, you are no worse than Zhenben, Zhenmiao, or even senior brother Zhenchang back then. Of course, you are better than Zhenben, Zhenmiao, and even Zhenchang." Senior brother, I'm still a little behind."
He brazenly boasted that his junior brother was an acquaintance and there was no need to hide his true nature.
Along the road, many monks poked their heads to look at Meng Qi, a master of the rankings who had been expelled from the temple and returned as a guest. However, the mysterious pain that assigned Meng Qi to the miscellaneous service yard did not appear. He was different from Xuan Kong. , is not a small-minded person, but is upright and roundabout. If he thinks it is good, he will impose it on others. If he thinks it is wrong, he will despise it. Meng Qi's return has no impact on him, and he will do whatever he needs to do.
"Yes, compared to you, senior brother, you are still far behind." Zhenhui nodded honestly and admitted, which made Meng Qi feel happy for a while, "Master, if you don't go into seclusion, you will always give me lectures about your affairs in the world. , there were many battles in Longxi, where he tested the heroes of Yedu with his sword, narrowly defeated the Shouzheng sword Wang Zai with half a move, shocked Baili in the hard battle in Maoling, and defeated the Five Emperors sword in the streets of Changchuan, it was really majestic and powerful!"
"Every time I told these stories to Zhenhe and the others, they didn't believe it. But later, Master Xuanxin told me the same thing. Many of the Masters and Masters who came down from the mountain would also bring a list of people when they returned to the temple, and they were willing to tell me Apologize and understand that I didn't lie..."
"Uncle Xuanxin always brags about himself. Every time he lectures on your achievements, brother, he deliberately blurs them and passes them by..."
"Senior Brother Zhenben has mastered seven unique skills, but in his mouth, he has bitten off more than he can chew..."
As Zhenhui rambled on, Meng Qi suddenly became clear about Shaolin after being away for more than two years. Who has changed and who has remained the same, all came to mind, and it really felt like yesterday was reappearing.
Meng Qi laughed with some emotion and teased: "Junior brother, are you feeling uncomfortable facing the wall and unable to speak, so you are nagging a little more than before?"
Zhenhui shook her head and said calmly: "I'm just a little excited to see senior brother."
Having said this, he looked up at the blue sky: "Senior brother, you used to tell me stories about rivers and lakes and rumors about knights, but in the past two years, you yourself have become the person in the story..."
From the time we met until now, only these words have ended the journey.
Meng Qi sighed and comforted Zhenhui with a smile: "Little junior brother, when you open your six orifices and break through Tongren Alley, you will also become a person in their story. When the time comes, senior brother will take you to eat and drink."
"Okay!" Zhenhui nodded vigorously with a bright smile.
The two of them chatted casually and walked through the courtyard of the main hall and arrived at the small courtyard where Xuan Bei lived. After Zhenhui poured a glass of water for Meng Qi, he said cheerfully: "Brother, I will go to the back mountain to ask the master to come back. You wait first. "
Not long after, Xuanbei, wearing a yellow monk's robe and a red cassock, descended from the sky with true wisdom, and golden lotuses bloomed under his feet.
"Remember to come back to see me as my master, yes, yes." Xuan Bei had a comforting look.
He is still the middle-aged melancholic monk with handsome features, somewhat similar to Meng Qi's current appearance.
Even if he wasn't a relative, he couldn't explain it... The appearance in his heart became clear, and the association Meng Qi started after seeing "the biological mother's surname was Tang" recorded in the secret file seemed to be confirmed to some extent.
He prostrated and said, "This disciple is unfilial and has brought trouble to the master."
"It doesn't matter. Living in the mortal world, there are always various tests. Losing opportunities is not a blessing. The path of cause and effect is difficult to describe." Xuanbei comforted Meng Qi nonchalantly, helped him up, and walked up to the top. He sat down and sighed, "Zhending, you are really stubborn in your bones. You refuse to return to the Su family in the capital of God even before you die. You are exactly the same as your mother who refused to leave home."
It turns out that I am also an uncle... Meng Qi slandered himself and said frankly: "Master, since I was sent to Shaolin, the Su family in the divine capital has no relationship with the disciples. The only relatives I have left in the world are you and my junior brother."
Xuan Bei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he said with a bit of relief: "It's okay, just ignore it or pay no attention to it, so as not to get involved in the right and wrong of Shendu. Anyway, your mother died of illness."
At this time, Zhenhui realized what was happening and her eyes widened: "Master, do you know your senior brother's mother? Could it be, could it be..."
Before he could finish "Could it be", he was interrupted by Meng Qi coughing. Based on the bloody stories he told him, he probably said the word "illegitimate son": "Master is my mother's brother."
"Oh." Zhenhui was a little disappointed, things didn't develop according to the story...
Meng Qi's expression became solemn: "Master, I am returning to the temple this time to visit you and to tell you something important."
Hearing something important... Xuanbei waved his hand alertly, and layers of glazed Buddha light appeared, wrapping the room: "Go ahead."
"The disciple met a young man named Duan Rui in Jiangdong..." Meng Qi told the story in detail, including the nine postures, the existence of the monk behind the scenes, and the words "love, justice, kindness, don't enter this door" deep in the secret passage. "——He told Duan Rui.
Zhenhui listened intently and was slightly surprised. It turned out that the death of Senior Brother Zhenchang was not simple...
Xuan Bei listened with a serious face and said solemnly: "There are currently too few clues to figure out who is behind the scenes, but the Master Association will be more vigilant from now on to prevent others from being easily framed or stabbed in the back."
If someone like him, who is at the peak of his outdoor scene, is alert and vigilant, even half a step of Dharmakaya will be difficult to succeed.
After finishing speaking, he pondered again and said: "Due to temple regulations, I can't tell you some things, but I can make it clear that the stone door is indeed deep in the secret passage."
I discovered it by the way when I first discovered the secret passage.
Shaolin in the main world actually has "love, justice, kindness, don't enter this door"? Meng Qi found the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation more and more strange...
Xuan Bei didn't say much about this matter. Firstly, it was due to the restrictions of the temple rules. An eminent monk like him kept the rules in mind and would not look for loopholes in the rules. Secondly, due to the limitations of Meng Qi's strength, it was too early to get involved in this matter.
He turned to mention: "Those nine postures are actually magic skills. My teacher thought they were the first volume of the 'Yi Jin Jing'."
"Master, do you think so too?" Meng Qi seemed to have found a "close friend."
"I became a monk on the way to becoming a master. I chose the incomplete technique of Moko Subduing Demon Fist, which was equivalent to giving up the choice of "Yi Jin Jing", so I don't know the contents of the secret book. I only heard several uncles and uncles mention it, "Yi Jin Jing" There are ninety-nine postures in the Jin Jing, and the first volume has about twelve or thirteen, and it is equipped with text, comments and verses. "Xuanbei explained what he knew in detail.
Meng Qi nodded. Anyway, he still had the appraisal of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Xuanbei didn't mention the monks behind the scenes and the "Yi Jin Jing" anymore, and looked at Meng Qi kindly: "I originally wanted to let you return to the Su family in the capital of the world, so I didn't cause any problems, because I was afraid that you would be conflicted with the Su family's inherited skills. Now that you are traveling around the world, I might as well leave my skills before becoming a monk to you."
Meng Qi was overjoyed and thanked him. He had acquired another master-level skill. Even if he was not greedy for more or excessive, he would not give it to the Master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It would be useful as a stone for others!
Xuan Bei smiled and said: "My master used to be called the Seven Jue Hands, which are palms, fingers, fists, claws, zhenqi, seals, and body skills. You concentrate on the way of swords, and you also major in physical magic skills. In the palms, Don’t spend any time on your fingers, fists, claws, and Qi. Focus on practicing acupoints and body techniques. When you become a top master and spread the branches, you can teach this technique to others on your behalf. Don’t give up. Inheritance is a matter of concern as a teacher. You cannot get the things left by your predecessors and break their orthodoxy..."
"The method I practice is called "Seven True Sutras", which is divided into seven chapters. The body method is 'Pingxu Linfeng'. The characteristics of the enlightenment stage are turning back and forth in mid-air once or twice. The block method is 'Trapped God Locking Body Hands'. The opening chapter belongs to the acupuncture method, and it has a different name, called 'Star God's acupoint-suppressing finger'..."
