Chapter 11 Chapter 10: Sword Qi and Green Smoke

In the early morning of the next day, Duan Zhengchun said goodbye to his wife and children.Hearing from Duan Yu that Mu Wanqing had left with her mother Qin Hongmian last night, Duan Zhengchun stayed for a while, sighed a few times, asked about Cui Baiquan and Guo Yanzhi, but said that he had already started his journey north.Leaving words, I am very grateful to Dali Duan.Duan Zhengchun took the three princes and four guards to the palace to bid farewell to Emperor Baoding, and left for Lu Liangzhou with the two monks Huizhen and Huiguan.Duan Yu sent it back ten li away from the east gate. In the afternoon of that day, Emperor Baoding was reciting Buddhist scriptures in the meditation room of the palace. Worried that after Duan Yu was poisoned by Prince Yanqing, he might not be able to get rid of it easily, so he sent two eunuchs to visit him.After half an hour, the two eunuchs reported back: "Emperor Taidi's son is not seriously ill, and seems to be a little deranged."

Emperor Baoding was secretly frightened, and immediately went to the Prince's Mansion in Zhennan to visit his doctor.As soon as he arrived outside Duan Yu's bedroom, he could hear the sound of bang bang, ping pong, click and clang, all kinds of broken objects.The servant outside the door knelt down to receive him, with a panicked expression. Emperor Baoding opened the door and went in, only to see Duan Yu dancing in the room, pushing and throwing tables, chairs, all kinds of utensils and playthings.The two imperial physicians dodged east and west, looking embarrassed.Emperor Baoding shouted, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

Duan Yu's mind is still clear, but the internal energy in his body is too strong, as if it is about to burst out of his chest, as long as he wave his hands and feet and throw something, he will feel a little comfortable.Seeing Emperor Baoding come in, he shouted: "Uncle, I'm going to die!" He knelt down to salute, but waved his hands in circles in the air. Dao Baifeng stood aside, just weeping, and said: "Brother, Yu'er sent his father out of the city this morning, but for some reason, he suddenly went crazy." The poison in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations has not been cleared, so it is not difficult to cure." Xiang Duan Yu said, "How do you feel?"

Duan Yu couldn't stop stamping his feet, and shouted: "My nephew's whole body is swollen, it's extremely uncomfortable." Emperor Baoding saw that his face and skin on his hands were normal and not swollen at all, his words were obviously confused , could not help but frown. It turned out that Duan Yu obtained half of the internal strength of the six masters in the Valley of Myriad Tribulations last night, he didn't feel much about it at the time, he fell asleep after seeing his father off, lost his true qi in his sleep, and immediately started running around.He jumped up and began to walk around in "Lingbo Weibu". He walked faster and faster, his true energy was surging, and he became more uncontrollable. He couldn't help but howl loudly, which alarmed others.

An imperial doctor said: "Qi Zou the emperor: the son's pulse is very strong, it seems that the blood is too strong, I am humble, I don't know if it will make some blood for the son?" Emperor Baoding thought that this method might work, nodded and said: "Okay, you bleed him." The imperial doctor replied: "Yes!" He opened the medicine box and took out a fat leech from a magnetic box.Leeches are good at sucking blood, and they are most convenient and painless for sucking blood from patients.The imperial doctor pinched Duan Yu's arm, pointed the mouth of the leech at his blood vessel.After touching Duan Yu's arm, the leech couldn't help writhing, and refused to bite no matter what.The imperial doctor was very surprised and pressed the leech hard, after a while, the leech stood up and died.The imperial doctor made a fool of himself in front of the emperor, with sweat running down his forehead, he hurriedly fetched the second leech, but it was still so dead.

Another imperial physician had a worried expression on his face, and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, my son has been poisoned so badly that even the leech was poisoned to death." He didn't know that after Duan Yu swallowed the King of All Poisons' Manggu Zhu clam, any snake would be killed. When the worm smelled his breath, it ran away, even the most powerful poisonous snake would be subdued, let alone a little leech? Emperor Baoding was anxious, and asked, "What kind of poison is that, so powerful?" An imperial physician said, "In my humble opinion, the son's pulse condition is hyperactive, and he has suffered from a rare heat poison. Is this the name? This... ...This... this humble minister Yu Lu..." Another imperial doctor said: "No way. The son's pulse condition is yin deficiency, and the poison is only cold, so you should neutralize it with heat and poison." Duan Yu has Yellow Browed Monk, South Sea Crocodile God, and Zhong Wanchou in his body. The masculine internal force is combined with the feminine internal force of Ye Erniang, Yun Zhonghe, and Cui Baiquan. The two imperial physicians have their own biases, and they can't tell the real reason.

Emperor Baoding heard them arguing endlessly, these two are the most skilled doctors in Dali, but their views are so incompatible, it can be seen that the evil poison in his nephew's body is really weird.Extend the index, middle and ring fingers of the right hand, and lightly rest on the "Lie Que Point" on Duan Yu's wrist vein.The pulse of the descendants of Duan's family is often not in Cunkou, but in Lieque, which is called "Fan Guan Mai" by doctors. The two imperial physicians admired the emperor's profound knowledge of medicine as soon as he made a move.One person said: "It is said in medical books: those who get Fan Guanmai in the left hand are the most expensive, those who get it in the right hand are rich, and both left and right are reversed, making them rich and noble. Your Majesty, King Zhennan, and the Prince are all Fan Guanmai." Another person Said: "The three are rich and powerful, so you don't need to know it because of the pulse." The first person said: "No way. The pulse of the son is rich and powerful, which proves that although the disease is dangerous, it is not serious." The other The famous imperial doctor didn't think so, and thought: "The rich and powerful people didn't die suddenly?" But it was inconvenient to say this sentence.

Emperor Baoding only felt that his nephew's pulse was beating vigorously and quickly, how could his heart be able to support it if it kept beating like this?With a slight push on his fingers, he wanted to find out what other abnormalities were in his meridians, suddenly, his own internal power rushed out, and disappeared in an instant.He was taken aback and let go hastily.He didn't know that Duan Yu had practiced the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin in the "Northern Darkness Art", and Lie Que Point was the acupoint in this meridian.When Emperor Baoding exercised his inner energy, he poured his inner energy into Duan Yu's body.

Duan Yu shouted: "Ah yo!" His whole body trembled violently, the trembling was unstoppable. Emperor Baoding took two steps back and said, "Yu'er, have you met Ding Chunqiu from Xingxiu Sea?" Duan Yu said, "Ding... Ding Chunqiu? My nephew doesn't know who he is." Emperor Baoding said, "I heard that He is an old man with a fairy demeanor, a face like a crown jade, and a fairy in the painting." Duan Yu said: "My nephew has never seen him before." Emperor Baoding said: "This man has a wicked kung fu, he is good at dispelling other people's internal energy, It's called the 'Great Art of Transformation', it can make one's whole life of martial arts practice useless, and all martial arts scholars in the world hate it. Since you have never met him, how...how did you learn this evil skill?" Duan Yu hurriedly said: "My nephew didn't learn... I did. It's the first time my nephew heard about Ding Chunqiu and Hua Gong Dafa just now."

Emperor Baoding expected that he would not lie, let alone use his internal energy, so he understood the truth in a flash: "Yes, Prince Yanqing must have learned this evil skill, and he did not know what kind of weird way to use this evil method. Kung Fu entered Yu'er's body, making him harm Brother Chun and me without knowing it. Hehe, this person is known as 'the world's number one villain', and he really lives up to his reputation!" But seeing Duan Yu scratching and scratching his body with his hands, ripping his clothes to pieces, and scratching his skin with bloodstains, he tried his best to hold back, so he stopped screaming and groaning uncontrollably.Dao Baifeng couldn't help comforting: "Yu'er, you have to be patient, it will be fine in a while." Emperor Baoding thought: "This problem, I can only ask Tianlong Temple for advice." Said: "Yu'er, I will take you Go to visit some elders, I think they will have a way to cure you of the evil poison." Duan Yu replied: "Yes!" Dao Baifeng hurriedly took the clothes and changed them for his son.Emperor Baoding took him out of the mansion, each riding a horse, and galloped to Diancang Mountain.

Tianlong Temple is located in the north of Zhongyue Peak in Diancang Mountain outside Dali City. The official name of the temple is Chongsheng Temple, but Dali people are used to calling it Tianlong Temple. It bears Cangshan Mountain and faces Ershui River.There are three pagodas in the temple, which were built in the early Tang Dynasty. The big one is more than 200 feet high and has 16 levels. The head of the treasure. The ancestors of the Duan family who were emperors in the past dynasties often avoided the throne and became monks. They all became monks in this Tianlong Temple. Therefore, Tianlong Temple is the family temple of the Dali royal family and is the most revered among all the temples in the country.After each emperor became a monk, his descendants would go to the temple to worship on his birthday, and every time he worshiped, there must be dedication and decoration.The temple has three pavilions, seven floors, nine halls, and a hundred buildings. It is large in scale and exquisitely constructed. Even the famous mountain temples in the Central Plains, such as Wutai, Kaiyuan, Jiuhua, and Emei, are rarely compared. Located in southern Xinjiang, its name is not clear. Duan Yu obeyed his uncle's instructions, all the way on horseback to clear up the internal conflicts in his body, the annoyance was slightly relieved, at this time he followed his uncle to the front of the temple.This Tianlong Temple is a place often visited by Emperor Baoding, so he immediately went to see the abbot, Master Benyin. Originally, if the masters were arranged according to the ranks of laymen, they were the uncles of Emperor Baoding. The monks neither adhered to the etiquette of emperors and ministers, nor did they follow the family lineage. The two met with equal etiquette.Emperor Baoding explained how Duan Yu was captured by Prince Yanqing, how he was poisoned by evil spirits, how he became infected with evil kung fu, and how he transformed his inner strength. Abbot Benyin pondered for a moment, and said: "Please follow me to the Muni Hall and meet the three senior brothers." Nan Shizi will be the successor of our country in the future, and he will be the blessing of the people of the whole country. Your insight and internal strength are superior to mine. Since you come to ask me, it is a big problem. I can't solve it alone, so I should discuss it with the three brothers. " Two young novice monks lead the way, followed by Abbot Benyin and Baoding Emperor's uncle and nephew. They enter from Ruihe Gate on the left, passing through Huangtian Gate, Qingdu Yaotai, Zhajiajing, Doumu Palace, and Sanjiao. Yuan Palace, Tushita Dashiyuan, Yuhuayuan, and Prajna Terrace came to the side of a long corridor.The two young novice monks bowed and stood on both sides, unable to stop.The three of them walked further west along the corridor and came to several big houses.Duan Yu has been to Tianlong Temple many times, but he has never been here before. He saw that the big houses are all made of pine wood, and the doors and pillars are not peeled. It's all different. Abbot Benyin clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, Benyin has something unresolved and disturbed the homework of the three brothers." A person in the room said: "Abbot, please come in!" Benyin stretched out his hand and slowly pushed the door open.Although this "Muni hall" is a hall, it is as wide as a hall.Duan Yu followed the abbot and his uncle into the door, he heard the abbot said "three brothers", but there were four monks sitting on four futons in the room.The three monks were facing outwards, two of them were haggard, and the other was strong and burly.A monk in the east was thin and lean, with his face facing the inner wall, motionless. Emperor Baoding recognized the two emaciated monks with the dharma name Benguan and the real face, both of whom were the senior brothers of Abbot Benyin, and the burly monk whose dharma name Bencan was the senior disciple of Benyin.He only knew that there were three eminent monks in the Muni Hall of Tianlong Temple, "Guan, Xiang, and Shen", but he didn't know that there was another monk who bowed down in salute at the moment.Ben Guan and the other three returned the salute with a smile.The monk facing the wall didn't know whether he was in meditation or his homework was at a critical juncture, so he couldn't be distracted, so he ignored it all the time.Emperor Baoding knew that the word "Muni" means silence and silence, since this is the Muni hall, it is necessary to speak as little as possible, so he did not want to bother him, so he told about the evil poison in Duan Yu's body, and finally Said: "Pray for the four great virtues to point out the way." Ben Guan pondered for a while, then looked at Duan Yu for a long time, and said: "What do you two think?" The four characters "Excalibur" made my heart tremble, and I thought to myself: "When I was young, I heard from my father that my ancestors of the Duan family had a martial arts called 'Six Meridians Excalibur', which was infinitely powerful. But my father said that it was just a rumor. , I have never heard of any ancestor who knew this kind of kung fu, and no one knows how miraculous this kung fu is. Master Bencan said so, so it turns out that there is such a wonderful skill.” Then I thought: “Master Bencan The meaning of these words is to use internal strength to detoxify Yu'er. In this way, it will inevitably hinder their progress in practicing the "Six Swords". However, the evil poison and evil skills in Yu'er are extremely weird , if the five of us didn't work together, how could we cure it?" Although I felt sorry in my heart, I didn't say anything to refuse. The monk didn't say a word, stood up, bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, and took the northeast corner obliquely.Ben Guan and Ben Shen are also divided into two positions.Abbot Benyin said: "Excellent! Excellent!" occupying the west-southwest direction. Emperor Baoding said: "Yu'er, the four elders and grandparents spared no effort to expel your energy to drive away the evil poison for you. Hurry up and thank you." Seeing his uncle's expression and the behavior of the four monks, Duan Yu knew that this matter was no small matter, so he bowed down immediately , Kowtow to the four monks one by one.The four monks nodded with a smile.Emperor Baoding said: "Yu'er, sit down cross-legged, don't think about anything in your mind, and don't use half your strength in your whole body. If there is severe pain or itching, it is what it should be. Don't be frightened." Duan Yu agreed, Sit down according to the words. The monk Benguan raised his right thumb, condensed his breath slightly, and then pressed on the Fengfu acupoint on the back of Duan Yu's head, and the force of his yang finger penetrated into it.The Fengfu point is one inch away from the hairline, and it belongs to the Du vessel.Following Master Zhenxiang, he tapped Zigong acupoint on his Renmai, monk Bencan tapped Daheng acupoint on his Yinweimai, abbot Benyin tapped his Chongmai Yindu and Daimai Wushu acupoints, and Emperor Baoding tapped his Yinqiao acupoint Qingming.There are a total of eight meridians in the Eight Extra Meridians, and the five people left the Yangwei and Yangqiao meridians.The five people all used one yang finger skill, using the power of pure yang, to release the evil poison and evil energy in his body from the acupoints of the Yang Wei and Yang Qiao channels. The accomplishments of the five masters of the Duan family, Yiyang finger, are all in the middle of the middle, but there is a chichi sound, and the internal force of the five pure yang penetrates into Duan Yu's body at the same time.Duan Yu's whole body was shaken, and he immediately felt warm and indescribably comfortable, just like being exposed to the sun in winter.The five people moved their fingers together, only feeling that their internal energy gradually melted after entering Duan Yu's body, and could never be recovered.Duan Yu has never practiced the "North Ming Divine Art" of the extraordinary meridian and eight meridians, but the five masters used one yang finger to force the injection, but Duan Yu was helpless.The five masters of the Duan Clan looked at me and I looked at you, they were all surprised and uncertain. Suddenly, there was a loud "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"Emperor Baoding knew that this was a very high-level skill in Buddhism, it was called "Lion's Roar", and it contained deep internal energy in a single sip, which was very effective in overpowering enemies and policemen.I just heard the monk sitting facing the wall say: "The powerful enemy will come within a few days, and the century-old reputation of Tianlong Temple is on the verge of collapse. Whether this yellow-mouthed breast is poisoned or possessed by evil spirits, is it worth the loss of his power?" The words are full of majesty. Abbot Benyin said: "Uncle Master has taught you a good lesson!" With a wave of his left hand, the five of them retracted their fingers at the same time and retreated. Emperor Baoding heard that Abbot Benyin called that person his uncle, so he hurriedly said: "I don't know that Elder Kurong is here. The younger generation has not paid enough respect, so he has sinful karma." It turned out that Elder Kurong was the highest seniority in Tianlong Temple. None of the monks had seen his true face.Emperor Baoding also only heard his name, but never met him. It was always heard that he participated in the dry meditation alone in the Shuangshu courtyard. He hadn't heard of it for more than ten years, and he only said that he had passed away long ago. Elder Kurong said: "There are priorities. The appointment of Dalun Mingwang in Daxueshan Mountain will arrive in a blink of an eye. Zhengming, you also come to see the details." Emperor Baoding said: "Yes." What has it to do with us?" Abbot Benyin took out a golden letter from his pocket and handed it to Emperor Baoding.Emperor Baoding took it, and began to work hard. He saw that the letter was extremely strange, it was made of gold into a very thin cover, and the words were inlaid with platinum on it, which was Sanskrit.Emperor Baoding knew that it was written: "The book is presented to the abbot of Chongsheng Temple", and he took out the letter paper from the gold sleeve. Meet, make friends, and talk about contemporary martial arts. Mr. Murong said that he highly admires the "Six Meridians Sword" of your temple, and deeply regrets that he has not been able to worship it. Hearing that Mr. Murong passed away, I am deeply saddened. In order to repay my confidant, I will Ask for the sutra from your monastery, burn it in front of Mr. Murong’s tomb, and come to get it within a day, don’t be lucky. The poor monk should repay it with a valuable gift, and dare not take it empty-handed.” Mozhihe ten hundred prayers."The Sanskrit characters on the paper are also inlaid with platinum, and the inlays are extremely delicate, which is obviously made by master craftsmen who have spent countless efforts to make it.Just an envelope and a piece of letter paper are two precious treasures. One can imagine the extravagance of King Dalunming. Emperor Baoding knew that Jiumozhi, the King of Great Wheel Ming, was the Dharma King of the Tubo Kingdom, but he only heard that he had great wisdom and was proficient in Buddhism. Every five years, he opened the altar to give lectures, and eminent monks and great virtues from all over Tianzhu in the Western Regions gathered. In the Dalun Temple of Daxue Mountain, they asked questions about the scriptures, studied the inner scriptures, and after hearing the Dharma, they all went away with joy and admiration.Emperor Baoding also wanted to go to listen to the scriptures.The letter said that he discussed martial arts with Gusu Murong Bo and became close friends, but he is also a master of martial arts.These kind of people with great wisdom and great wisdom, if they don't learn martial arts, they will do nothing. Since they are people in the Tao, they must be very important. Abbot Benyin said: "The "Six Meridians Divine Sword Classic" is the treasure of this temple, the supreme law of the Dali Duan Clan's martial arts. Zheng Ming, the most profound martial arts of my Dali Duan Clan is in Tianlong Temple, you are a secular person Even though he is his own nephew, many secrets of martial arts cannot be revealed to you." Emperor Baoding said: "Yes, this disciple understands it." Zhengming and Zhengchun didn't know about it, but they didn't know how the Gusu Murong family knew about it." Hearing this, Duan Yu suddenly remembered that in the "Langhuan Blessed Land" in Wuliangshan Cave, on the rows of empty bookshelves, where the tags marked "Duan's family of Dali", there were "missing one yang fingering method", " Missing the words "Six Meridians Excalibur Sword Art", she said in her heart: "Sister Immortal has collected martial arts classics from all schools and schools in the world, but my family's 'Yiyang Fingering' and 'Six Meridians Excalibur Sword Art', she finally I didn't get it." Feeling a little proud, but also a little melancholy, Sister Shenxian wrote the word "Regret" on the label, thinking that she regretted not seeing the secret book. Ben Shen said angrily: "This King Dalun Ming is also a world-renowned eminent monk. How could he be so unreasonable and dare to force this scripture from this temple? Zhengming, brother abbot knows that good people don't come, and those who come are not good. The consequences of the incident are not small, and I can’t decide what to do, so I ask Master Ku Rong to come out and preside over the overall situation.” Ben Yin said: "Although we have this scripture in our temple, we are ashamed to say it. None of us can practice the magic skills contained in the scriptures, and we can't even say that we can see the secrets of the hall. The Ku Chan practiced by Master Kurong is another magic skill of our temple. , let’s take some time to achieve great success. We haven’t practiced supernatural powers, and outsiders don’t know about it. Could it be that King Dalunming is not afraid of the unique knowledge of the six-veined sword?” Ku Rong said coldly: "Forgive me, he doesn't dare to underestimate the Six Meridians Excalibur. How late he was in his letter to Mr. Murong, and Mr. Murong is also fond of this scripture. King Dalun Ming knows the importance of it. It's just that he expected There are no outstanding masters in this monastery, although the precious scriptures are precious, if no one can practice them, it will be in vain." Ben Shen said loudly: "He looks up to me, so I asked him to read it. Let's respect him as an eminent Buddhist monk. At most, we can only politely decline it. It's no big deal. The most annoying thing is that he wants to burn it to the dead. Isn't it too bad?" Have you underestimated Tianlong Temple too?" Truth sighed and said: "You don't need to be angry because of this, junior brother. I think that the Great Wheel Ming King is not delusional. He wants to imitate the meaning of the sword hanging on Wu Jizha's tomb. It seems that he admires that Mr. Murong very much." Ji, alas, my good friend has passed away, and I can't see my old friend..." He said and shook his head slowly.Emperor Baoding said: "Master Benxiang, does Mr. Murong know who he is?" Benxiang said: "I don't know. But thinking about what kind of person Dalun Mingwang is, to be so admired by him, Mr. Murong is very special." When talking leisurely fascinated. Abbot Benyin said: "Master, estimate the enemy's strength. If we don't practice the six-meridian sword quickly, I'm afraid that the treasure scripture will be taken by others, and Tianlong Temple will be defeated. It's just that this sword skill is mainly based on internal strength, and it is not a one-shot in a hurry. It can be achieved. Zhengming, it is not because we ignore the evil poison of the honored official, but because we are afraid that everyone's internal energy will be exhausted and a powerful enemy will come suddenly, and it will be difficult to resist. It seems that the evil poison of the honored official is deep. , his life will be safe for a few days, let him recuperate here for a few days, if the injury changes suddenly, we will try to treat him at any time, after we have defeated the enemy, we will go all out, how about detoxifying him?" Although Emperor Baoding was worried about Duan Yu's illness, he knew the general situation very well after all, and knew that Tianlong Temple was the foundation of the Duan family in Dali.Whenever the royal family is in trouble, Tianlong Temple goes all out to help, and always turns the crisis into safety.Back then, the treacherous minister Yang Yizhen murdered Emperor Shangde and usurped the throne. It was difficult to quell the chaos thanks to Tianlong Temple and the loyal minister Gao Zhisheng.The Duan family of Dali won the kingdom in Dingyou, the second year of Shijin Tianfu in the Five Dynasties. It has been more than 150 years since then. After countless storms and waves, the country has never fallen. In fact, it has a lot to do with the stability of Tianlong Temple. There is no difference in danger, and he said: "The abbot is benevolent, Zhengming is very grateful, but I don't know if Zhengming can do his best in dealing with King Dalunming?" Ben Yin pondered and said: "You are the number one master of my Duan family's secular family. If you can join forces to defend against powerful enemies, it will indeed greatly increase your prestige. But you are a secular person. If you participate in disputes between Buddhist disciples, it will inevitably make Dalun Mingwang laugh. There is no one in my Tenryuji Temple." Ku Rong suddenly said: "If we practice the six-meridian divine sword separately, no matter who it is, they will not be able to practice because of insufficient internal strength. I also thought of a tricky way, each person practiced one channel, and the six of them shot together. Although one of six enemies won't be won by martial arts, but we are not competing with him alone, but to protect the scriptures and protect the temple. Even if a hundred people fight against him alone, it is nothing. I couldn’t find a sixth player with the same internal strength, so I hesitated to make a decision. Zhengming, you can make up the number. It’s just that you have to shave your head and change into a monk’s attire.” He spoke faster and faster, He seemed quite excited, but his tone was always cold. Emperor Baoding said: "Take refuge in my Buddha, it was Zhengming's original ambition, only the secret of the divine sword, Zhengming has never heard of it, in a hurry, I'm afraid..." Benyin said: "You have already mastered the basic skills of this way of swordsmanship, you only need to memorize one swordplay." Emperor Baoding was puzzled, and said: "Abbot please guide me." Sit down." Emperor Baoding sat cross-legged on a futon. Ben Yin said: "The Six Meridians Excalibur is not a real sword. It uses the strength of one Yang finger to transform into sword Qi. It has quality but no form. It can be called an invisible Qi sword. The so-called Six Meridians refer to the Taiyin Lung Meridian of the hand. , Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, and Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian.” He took out a scroll from the back of the futon. I took this ginseng and hung it on the wall. The scroll was unrolled, and the silk surface was burnt yellow due to age. On the silk was a figure of a naked man with acupuncture points marked on his body. The movement of the six veins was drawn with red and black lines. walk the trail.Emperor Baoding was a great expert in the yang finger, and this "Six Meridians Sword Classic" is based on the power of the yang finger, so it is obvious at a glance. Duan Yu was lying on the ground, seeing the silk scroll and the figure of the naked man, he immediately remembered the torn silk scroll, and thought: "The acupuncture points and meridians on the body are the same for men and women, and it's really strange for a fairy sister. Why is it painted in the shape of a naked woman, and this naked woman is painted with her own face?" I felt a little inappropriate, as if the fairy sister deliberately used her appearance to seduce people, so that people had to practice the magical skills in the picture, and I tore the silk in a daze. Axis, maybe it saved a catastrophe.But thinking like this would offend Sister Shenxian, this thought only flashed in my mind, and I didn't dare to think about it anymore. Ben Yin said: "Zhengming, you are the ruler of Dali Kingdom. Although it is a temporary expedient measure to modify and change clothes, if the other party sees a flaw, it will damage the prestige of Dali Kingdom. There are both interests and disadvantages. I hope you will decide yourself. Emperor Baoding clasped his hands together and said, "Protect the Dharma and protect the temple, and he will never turn back." After retreating from the powerful enemy, you will return to the ordinary world." Emperor Baoding stood up, knelt down on his knees, and said, "Master, please be merciful." Master Ku Rong said: "Come here, I will shave you." Emperor Baoding stepped forward and knelt behind him.Seeing that his uncle was about to be ordained as a monk, Duan Yu was secretly amazed. He saw Master Ku Rong stretched out his right hand and pressed it on Emperor Baoding's head. There seemed to be no muscle in the palm, and the skin was covered with bones.Master Kurong still did not turn around, and said in gatha: "Entering samadhi in a single dust, and achieving samadhi for all dusts, and that dust does not increase, and it is difficult to think about it in a single moment." With the palm raised, Emperor Baoding's head was full of black hair. All fell down, the top of the head was bald and there was not a single hair, even if it was shaved with a razor, it was not so clean.Duan Yugu was very surprised, and Emperor Baoding, Ben Guan, Ben Yin, etc. all admired him: "Master Ku Rong participated in Ku Chan, and his skill has reached such a high level." I just heard Master Kurong say: "Entering my Buddhist school, the name of the Dharma is the dust." After being shaved, he became Ben Yin's younger brother.At present, Emperor Baoding went to change into the monk's robe and shoes, as if he was a good monk. Master Ku Rong said: "Maybe the Great Wheel Ming King will come tonight. Because of this, you passed on the secret of the Six Meridians Excalibur to me." Benyin said: "Yes!" Pointing to the meridian map on the wall, he said "Junior Brother Benchen, among these six channels, you specialize in the 'Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian of the Hand'. The true energy flows from the dantian to the points on the shoulders and arms, from the clear and cold abyss to the courtyard in the bend of the elbow, and further down to the four points. Du, Sanyangluo, Huizong, Waiguan, Yangchi, Zhongzhu, Yemen, condense true energy and shoot it out from the 'Guanchong' point of the ring finger." Emperor Baoding transported his true energy according to his words, and when Wuming pointed, there was a chi-chi sound, and the true energy surged out from the "Guan Chong" acupoint. Master Kurong said happily: "Your internal strength is extraordinary. Although this sword technique has complicated changes, but the sword energy has been formed, so you can do whatever you want." Ben Yin said: "According to the original intention of this six-meridian sword, one person should wield the six-meridian sword energy at the same time, but in the end of the world, martial arts are declining, and no one can cultivate such a strong and thick internal force, so we have to have six people. Distribute the sword energy of the six meridians. Uncle Master specializes in thumb Shaoshang sword, I specialize in index finger Shangyang sword, senior brother Benguan practices middle finger middle punch sword, junior brother Benchen practices ring finger Guan Chong sword, and senior brother Benxiang practices little finger Shaochong sword , I am participating in practicing the Shaoze Sword with the little finger of my left hand. Without further ado, let's start practicing swords now." He took out five more pictures, including the one that had been hung before, making a total of six pictures.Hang five paintings on the four walls, and the figure of the Shaoshang sword is hung in front of Master Kurong.Each picture is full of criss-crossing lines, circles and arcs.The six people focused on the sword qi diagram of the sword they practiced, and stretched out their fingers to make virtual strokes in the air.Duan Yu sat up slowly, only felt that the qi in his body was surging, and he was more uncomfortable than before.Only because Emperor Baoding, Benyin and other five people injected a lot of internal energy into his body just now.Duan Yu saw that his uncle and the abbot were concentrating on their studies, he didn't dare to disturb him, he sat there for a long time, feeling very bored, he inadvertently looked at the meridian and acupoint map hanging on the wall in front of Master Ku Rong.After watching for a while, I felt my right forearm trembling uncontrollably, as if something was about to break through the skin and burst out.The place where the little mouse-like thing is going to rush out is exactly the "Kongzui acupoint" marked on the acupoint map. He has practiced this "Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian" before, the acupoints in the interwall diagram are the same as those in the nude woman diagram, but the route is completely different.Follow the red line on the meridian map all the way, from the end of the hole to the great abyss, then jump back and forth to Chize, and then down to the thenar. , actually follow the mind, also zigzag up the arm, rise to the elbow, and even rise to the upper arm.The zhenqi circulated along the meridians, and the aversion in his whole body was relieved immediately, so he focused on putting this zhenqi into Tanzhong acupoint. But since the meridians are running differently, this true energy cannot be stored in the mutton smoothly as shown on the naked woman's silk scroll, and after a while, it screams "Ah, ah".Hearing his call, Emperor Baoding quickly turned his head and asked: "How do you feel?" Duan Yu said: "There are countless air currents rushing and jumping on my body, and I am extremely sad. Returning to the Tanzhong acupoint, ahhh! Well, but the Tanzhong acupoint is getting fuller and fuller, and I can’t put it down. I... I... I... my chest is going to explode!" This kind of internal force induction can only be felt by the recipient himself, he only feels his chest swells up high and is about to burst immediately, but it doesn't look strange at all in the eyes of others.Emperor Baoding was well aware of the illusions of those who practiced internal energy. Originally, the Tanzhong acupoint was swollen and ready to burst, but it would not appear until at least twenty years later when the internal energy was extremely strong. Duan Yu had never learned internal energy. This phantom must be caused by evil poison in the body.Emperor Baoding was secretly amazed, knowing that if he didn't direct the qi back to the void, his whole body would be paralyzed, but if these evil poisons were hidden deep in the inner palace, it would be extremely difficult to drive them out later.He usually deals with difficult and important matters, he is decisive and decisive, and he often decides with one word. However, the matter in front of him is related to Duan Yu's life, and if there is a slight difference, his life is in danger. There is no room for hesitation, and the mind is determined: "It's a big deal to drink a dove to quench your thirst." He said: "Yu'er, I will teach you the method of guiding qi to return to the void." Lianbi said, passing on the method over him. Duan Yu didn't have time to wait until he finished listening, so he followed each sentence.Dali Duan's internal energy method is really exquisite, once he does it, the true energy flowing around will be absorbed into the viscera one by one.Chinese medical books refer to the internal organs of the human body as "five zang and six fu-organs", "zang" means "zang", and "fu-fu" means "fu", which originally meant accumulation and accumulation.Duan Yu first absorbed all the internal energy of Wuliangjian's seven disciples, and later absorbed part of the internal energy of Duan Yanqing, Huangmei Monk, Ye Erniang, South Sea Crocodile God, Yun Zhonghe, Zhong Wanchou, Cui Baiquan and other masters. A small part of the internal force of the five masters of the Duan family, namely, the original view, the original appearance, the original cause, and the original reference, the thickness of the true energy in the body and the strength of the internal force can almost be said to be astonishing in the past and the present, and there is no other in the world.At this time, my uncle instructed me to gradually store these true qi and internal energy into the inner palace, and my whole body became more and more comfortable. Emperor Baoding saw his smile, he was very happy, and said that he has been deeply possessed by the devil, he is afraid that this evil poison will be entangled with him all his life, no matter how hard it is to get rid of it, it will inevitably become a lifelong burden, he can't help but sigh secretly. Master Kurong heard that Emperor Baoding had passed on the merits, and said: "This world, all karma is self-inflicted, good and bad, good and bad, all born from the heart. You don't have to worry too much about others, hurry up and practice the Guan Chong sword!" Emperor Baoding Responding: "Yes!" Gathering his mind, he went to study Guan Chongjian's swordsmanship again. The zhenqi in Duan Yu's body is so abundant that it can't be stored all at once, but the practice of the method is getting more and more familiar, and it will be absorbed faster and faster in the end.The seven people in the Muni hall performed their own merits, and they didn't realize that the east was white. But when he heard the crowing of the rooster, Duan Yu felt that there was no real energy left in his limbs and bones, so he stood up and moved his limbs, and saw his uncle and the five eminent monks concentrating on practicing swords.He didn't dare to open the door and go out for a stroll, and he didn't dare to disturb the six people studying hard. He had nothing to do, so he took a look at his uncle's meridian diagram and Guan Chongjian's sword technique illustration, although he listened to Master Benyin. Uncle said that the Six Meridian Excalibur is not handed down to the children of ordinary families, but how can I learn such a profound martial art?When he was concentrating on watching, he suddenly felt a burst of true energy gushing out from his dantian, rushing to his shoulders and arms, following the red line to Guanchong acupoint on his ring finger.He would not rush out by luck, but he felt that the tip of his ring finger was swollen and uncomfortable, and he thought: "Let this qi go back." Thinking this way in his heart, the qi really returned to the dantian along the meridians. Unknowingly, Duan Yu has glimpsed the essentials of superior internal strength, but he just feels that a stream of air flows in his arms like this, doing whatever he wants, which is very fun.Among the three monks in the Muni Hall, he felt that Master Zhenxiang was the most amiable, so he turned his head to look at his "Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian Diagram".This meridian starts from the Jiquan point in the armpit, runs three inches above the elbow to the Qingling point, and ends at the Shaohai point behind the indentation of the elbow, passing through Lingdao, Tongli, Yinqi, Shenmen, and Shaofu , leading to the Shaochong point of the little finger.Thinking about it this way, a burst of true energy really follows the route of the meridians, but it is slow and slow, and it can't be done as intended. Sometimes it is very effective, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. I guess it's because of the lack of internal energy, but I don't care about it. . In just half a day, Duan Yu has passed all the acupoints drawn on the six graphs.He only felt refreshed and had nothing to do, so he looked at the diagrams of Shaoshang, Shangyang, Zhongchong, Guanchong, Shaochong, and Shaoze's six-way swordsmanship one by one.But seeing the red lines and black lines criss-crossing, and the clues are extremely complicated, I thought: "How can I remember such troublesome sword moves? What's more, the abbot master said that lay people can't learn it." Immediately, he stopped looking at it. Feeling a little hungry in my stomach, I thought to myself: "Why doesn't the little novice send vegetarian pasta? Let's go out quietly to find something to eat." At this moment, I suddenly smelled a soft sandalwood in my nose, followed by A faint Sanskrit singing floated from afar.
Master Kurong said: "Excellent! Excellent! The King of Great Wheel Ming is here. How are you doing?" Ben Shen said: "Although you are not proficient, it seems that you are good enough to meet the enemy." Kurong said: "Very good! The original reason, I If you don’t want to move around, please invite King Ming to the Muni Hall for a meeting.” Abbot Benyin replied: “Yes!” and walked out. Ben Guan took five futons, put them in a row on the east side, and placed one futon on the west side.I sat on the first futon in Dongshou, the second one in truth, and the fourth one in Ben Shen. I left the third futon empty for Abbot Benyin, and Emperor Baoding sat in the fifth futon.Duan Yu didn't have a seat, so he stood behind Emperor Baoding.枯荣、本观等最后再温习一遍剑法图解，才将帛图卷拢收起，都放在枯荣大师身前。 保定帝道：“誉儿，待会激战一起，室中剑气纵横，大是凶险，伯父不能分心护你。你到外面走走去吧。”段誉心中一阵难过：“听各人的口气，这大轮明王武功厉害之极，伯父的关冲剑法乃是新练，不知是否敌得过他，若有疏虞，如何是好？”便道：“伯伯，我……我要跟着你，我不放心你与人家斗剑……”说到最后几个字时，声音已哽咽了。保定帝心中也一动：“这孩子倒很有孝心。” 枯荣大师道：“誉儿，你坐在我身前，那大轮明王再厉害，也不能伤了你一根寒毛。”他声音仍冷冰冰的，但语意中颇有傲意。 段誉道：“是。”走到枯荣大师身前，不敢去看他脸，也盘膝面壁而坐。枯荣大师身躯比段誉高大得多，将他身子都遮住了。保定帝既感激，又放心，适才枯荣大师以枯禅功为自己落发，这一手神功足以傲视当世，要保护段誉自当绰绰有余。 霎时间牟尼堂中寂静无声。 过了好一会，只听得本因方丈道：“明王法驾，请移步这边牟尼堂。”另一个声音道：“有劳方丈领路。”段誉听这声音亲切谦和，彬彬有礼，绝非强凶霸横之人。听脚步声约莫有十来个人，听得本因推开板门，说道：“明王请！” 大轮明王道：“得罪！”举步进了堂中，向枯荣大师躬身合十，说道：“吐蕃国晚辈鸠摩智，参见前辈大师。有常无常，双树枯荣，南北西东，非假非空！” 段誉寻思：“这四句偈言是什么意思？”枯荣大师却心中一惊：“大轮明王博学精深，果然名不虚传。他一见面便道破了我所参枯禅的来历。” 世尊释迦牟尼当年在娑罗双树之间入灭，东西南北，各有双树，每一面的两株树都是一荣一枯，称之为“四枯四荣”。据佛经中言道：东方双树意为“常与无常”，南方双树意为“乐与无乐”，西方双树意为“我与无我”，北方双树意为“净与无净”。茂盛荣华之树意示涅槃觉相：常、乐、我、净；枯萎凋残之树显示世相：无常、无乐、无我、无净。如来佛在这八境界之间入灭，意为非枯非荣，非假非空。 枯荣大师数十年静参枯禅，还只能修到半枯半荣的境界，无法修到更高一层的“非枯非荣、亦枯亦荣”之境，是以一听到大轮明王的话，便即凛然，说道：“明王远来，老衲未克远迎。明王慈悲。” 大轮明王鸠摩智道：“天龙威名，小僧素所钦慕，今日得见庄严宝相，大是欢喜。” 本因方丈道：“明王请坐。”鸠摩智道谢坐下。 段誉心想：“这位大轮明王不知是何模样？”悄悄侧过头来，从枯荣大师身畔瞧了出去，只见西首蒲团上坐着一个僧人，身穿黄色僧袍，不到五十岁年纪，布衣芒鞋，脸上神采飞扬，隐隐似有宝光流动，便如是明珠宝玉，自然生辉。段誉向他只瞧得几眼，便心生钦仰亲近之意。再从板门中望出去，只见门外站着八九个汉子，面貌大都狰狞可畏，不似中土人士，自是大轮明王从吐蕃国带来的随从了。 鸠摩智双手合十，说道：“佛曰：不生不灭，不垢不净。小僧根器鲁钝，未能参透爱憎生死。小僧生平有一知交，是大宋姑苏人氏，复姓慕容，单名一个'博'字。昔年小僧与彼邂逅相逢，讲武论剑。这位慕容先生于天下武学无所不窥，无所不精，小僧得彼指点数日，生平疑义，颇有所解，又得慕容先生慨赠上乘武学秘笈，深恩厚德，无敢或忘。不意大英雄天不假年，慕容先生西归极乐。小僧有一不情之请，还望众长老慈悲。” 本因方丈道：“明王与慕容先生相交一场，即是因缘，缘分既尽，何必强求？慕容先生往生极乐，莲池礼佛，于人间武学，岂再措意？明王此举，不嫌蛇足么？” 鸠摩智道：“方丈指点，确为至理。然小僧生性痴顽，殊乏慧根，闭关四十日，始终难断思念良友之情。慕容先生当年论及天下剑法，深信大理天龙寺'六脉神剑'为天下诸剑中第一，恨未得见，引为平生最大憾事。” 本因道：“敝寺僻处南疆，得蒙慕容先生推爱，实感荣宠。但不知当年慕容先生何不亲来求借剑经一观？” 鸠摩智长叹一声，惨然色变，默然半晌，才道：“慕容先生情知此经是贵寺镇刹之宝，坦然求观，定不蒙允。他道大理段氏贵为帝皇，不忘昔年江湖义气，仁惠爱民，泽被苍生，他也不便出之于偷盗强取。”本因谢道：“多承慕容先生夸奖。既然慕容先生很瞧得起大理段氏，明王是他好友，须当体念慕容先生的遗意。” 鸠摩智道：“只是那日小僧曾夸口言道：'小僧是吐蕃国师，于大理段氏无亲无故，吐蕃大理两国，亦无亲厚邦交。慕容先生既不便亲取，由小僧代劳便是。'大丈夫一言既出，生死无悔。小僧对慕容先生既有此约，决计不能食言。”说着双手轻轻击了三掌。门外两名汉子抬了一只檀木箱子进来，放在地下。鸠摩智袍袖一拂，箱盖无风自开，只见里面是一只灿然生光的黄金小箱。鸠摩智俯身取出金箱，托在手中。 本因心道：“我等方外之人，难道还贪图什么奇珍异宝？再说，段氏为大理一国之主，一百五十余年的积蓄，还怕少了金银器玩？”却见鸠摩智揭开金箱箱盖，取出来的竟是三本旧册。他随手翻动，本因等瞥眼瞧去，见册中有图有文，都是朱墨所书。鸠摩智凝视着这三本书，忽然间泪水滴滴而下，溅湿衣襟，神情哀切，悲不自胜。本因等无不大为诧异。 枯荣大师道：“明王心念故友，尘缘不净，岂不愧称'高僧'两字？” 大轮明王垂首道：“大师具大智慧、大神通，非小僧所及。这三卷武功诀要，乃慕容先生手书，阐述少林派七十二门绝技的要旨、练法，以及破解之道。” 众人听了，都是一惊：“少林派七十二门绝技名震天下，据说少林自创派以来，除了宋初曾有一位高僧身兼二十三门绝技之外，从未有第二人曾练到二十门以上。这位慕容先生能知悉少林七十二门绝技的要旨，已然令人难信，至于连破解之道也尽皆通晓，那更加不可思议了。” 只听鸠摩智续道：“慕容先生将此三卷奇书赐赠，小僧披阅钻研之下，获益良多。现愿将这三卷奇书，与贵寺交换六脉神剑宝经。若蒙众位大师俯允，令小僧得完昔年信诺，实在感激不尽。” 本因方丈默然不语，心想：“这三卷书中所记，倘若真是少林寺七十二门绝技，那么本寺得此书后，武学上不但可与少林并驾齐驱，抑且更有胜过。盖天龙寺通悉少林绝技，本寺的绝技少林却无法知晓。” 鸠摩智道：“贵寺赐予宝经之时，尽可自留副本，众大师嘉惠小僧，泽及白骨，自身并无所损，一也。小僧拜领宝经后立即固封，决不私窥，亲自送至慕容先生墓前焚化，贵寺高艺决不致因此而流传于外，二也。贵寺众大师武学渊深，原已不假外求，但他山之石，可以攻玉，少林寺七十二门绝技确有独到之秘，其中'拈花指'、'多罗叶指'、'无相劫指'三项指法，与贵派一阳指颇有相互印证之功，三也。” 本因等最初见到他那通金叶书信之时，觉得他强索天龙寺的镇寺之宝，太也强横无理，但这时听他娓娓道来，颇为入情入理，似乎此举于天龙寺利益甚大而绝无所损，反倒是他亲身送上一份厚礼。本相大师生性谦退，雅愿与人方便，心下已有允意，但论尊则有师叔，论位则有方丈，轮不到自己随口说话。 鸠摩智道：“小僧年轻识浅，所言未必能取信于众位大师。少林七十二绝技中的三门指法，不妨先在众位之前献丑。”说着站起身来，说道：“小僧当年不过是兴之所至，随意涉猎，所习甚为粗疏，还望众位指点。这一路指法是拈花指。”只见他右手拇指和食指轻轻搭住，似是拈住了一朵鲜花一般，脸露微笑，左手五指向右轻弹。 牟尼堂中除段誉之外，个个是毕生研习指法的大行家，但见他出指轻柔无比，左手每一次弹出，都像是要弹去右手鲜花上的露珠，却又生怕震落了花瓣，脸上始终慈和微笑，显得深有会心。据禅宗历来传说，释迦牟尼在灵山会上说法，手拈金色波罗花遍示诸众，众人默然不语，只迦叶尊者破颜微笑。释迦牟尼知迦叶已领悟心法，便道：“吾有正法眼藏，涅槃法门，实相无相，微妙法门，不立文字，教外别传。付嘱摩诃迦叶。”禅宗以心传顿悟为第一大事，少林寺属于禅宗，对这“拈花指”当是别有精研。 可是鸠摩智弹指之间却不见得具何神通，他连弹数十下后，举起右手衣袖，张口向袖子一吹，霎时间袖子上飘下一片片棋子大的圆布，衣袖上露出数十个破孔。原来他这数十下拈花指，都凌空点在自己衣袖之上，柔力损衣，初看完好无损，一经风吹，功力才露了出来。本因与本观、本相、本参、保定帝等互望了几眼，均暗暗惊异：“凭我等功力，以一阳指虚点，破衣穿孔，亦能办到，但出指如此轻柔，温颜微笑间神功已运，却非我等所能。这拈花指与一阳指全然不同，其阴柔内力，确颇有足可借鉴之处。” 鸠摩智微笑道：“献丑了。小僧的拈花指指力，不及少林寺的玄渡大师远了。那'多罗叶指'，只怕造诣更差。”身形转动，绕着地下木箱快步而行，十指快速连点，但见木箱上木屑纷飞，不住跳动，顷刻间一只木箱已成为一片片碎片。 保定帝等见他指裂木箱，亦未见奇，但见木箱的铰链、钢片、铁扣、搭钮等金属附件，俱在他指力下纷纷碎裂，这才不由得心惊。 鸠摩智笑道：“小僧使这多罗叶指，一味霸道，功夫浅陋得紧。”说着双手拢入衣袖。突然之间，那堆碎木片忽然飞舞跳跃起来，便似有人以一根无形的细棒，不住去挑动搅拨一般。看鸠摩智时，他脸上始终温和微笑，僧袖连下摆也不飘动半分，原来他指力从衣袖中暗暗发出，全无形迹。本相忍不住脱口赞道：“无相劫指，名不虚传，佩服，佩服！”鸠摩智躬身道：“大师夸奖了。木片跃动，便是有相。当真要名副其实，练至无形无相，以小僧浅陋，纵穷毕生之力，也不易有成。”本相大师道：“慕容先生所遗奇书之中，可有破解'无相劫指'的法门？”鸠摩智道：“有的。破解之法，便从大师的法名上着想。”本相沉吟半晌，说道：“嗯，以本相破无相，高明之至。” 本因、本观、本相、本参四僧见了鸠摩智献演三门指力，都不禁怦然心动，已知三卷奇书中所载，确是名闻天下的少林寺七十二门绝技，但是否要将“六脉神剑”的图谱另录副本与之交换，确是大费踌躇。 本因道：“师叔，明王远来，其意甚诚。咱们该当如何应接，请师叔见示。” 枯荣大师道：“本因，咱们练功习艺，所为何来？” 本因方丈没料到师叔竟会如此询问，微微一愕，答道：“为的是弘法护国。”枯荣大师道：“外魔来时，要是吾等道浅，不能以佛法点化，非得出手降魔不可，该用何种功夫？”本因道：“若不得已而出手，当用一阳指。”枯荣大师问道：“你在一阳指上的修为，已到第几品境界？”本因额头出汗，答道：“弟子根钝，又兼未能精进，只修得到第四品，惭愧之极。”枯荣大师再问：“以你所见，大理段氏的一阳指与少林拈花指、多罗叶指、无相劫指三门指法相较，孰优孰劣？”本因道：“指法无优劣，功力有高下。”枯荣大师道：“不错。咱们的一阳指若能练到第一品，那便如何？”本因道：“渊深难测，弟子不敢妄说。”枯荣道：“倘若你再活一百岁，能练到第几品？”本因额上汗水涔涔而下，颤声道：“弟子不知。”枯荣道：“能修到第一品吗？”本因道：“决计不能。”枯荣大师就此不再说话。 本因道：“师叔指点甚是，咱们自己的一阳指尚自修习不得周全，要旁人的武学奇技作甚？明王远来辛苦，待敝寺设斋接风。”这么说，自是拒绝了大轮明王所求。 鸠摩智长叹一声，说道：“都是小僧当年多嘴的不好，否则慕容先生人都不在了，这《六脉神剑经》求不求得到手，又有何分别？小僧今日狂妄，说一句不知天高地厚的言语，这六脉神剑的剑法，要是真如慕容先生所说的那么精奥，只怕贵寺虽有图谱，却也无人得能练成。倘若有人练成，那么这路剑法，未必便如慕容先生所猜想的神妙。” 枯荣大师道：“老衲心有疑窦，要向明王请教。”鸠摩智道：“不敢。”枯荣大师道：“敝寺藏有《六脉神剑经》一事，纵是我段氏的俗家子弟亦不得知，慕容先生却从何处听来？”鸠摩智道：“慕容先生于天下武学，所知极为渊博，各门各派的秘技武功，往往连本派掌门人亦所不知的，慕容先生却了如指掌。姑苏慕容那'以彼之道，还施彼身'八字，便由此而来。但慕容先生于大理段氏一阳指与六脉神剑的秘奥，却始终未能得窥门径，生平耿耿，遗恨而没。” 枯荣大师“嗯”了一声，不再言语。保定帝等均想：“要是他得知了一阳指和六脉神剑的秘奥，只怕便要即以此道，来还施我段氏之身了。” 本因方丈道：“我师叔十余年来未见外客，明王是当世高僧，我师叔这才破例延见。明王请。”说着站起身来，示意送客。 鸠摩智却不站起，缓缓地道：“六脉神剑经既只徒具虚名，无裨实用，贵寺又何必如此重视？以至伤了天龙寺与大轮寺的和气，伤了大理国和吐蕃国的邦交？” 本因脸色微变，森然问道：“明王之言，是不是说：天龙寺若不允交经，大理、吐蕃两国便要兵戎相见？”保定帝一向派遣重兵，驻扎西北边疆，以防吐蕃国入侵，听鸠摩智如此说，自是全神贯注地倾听。 鸠摩智道：“我吐蕃国主久慕大理国风土人情，早有与贵国国主会猎大理之念，只是小僧心想此举势必多伤人命，大违我佛慈悲本怀，数年来一直竭力劝止。” 本因等自都明白他言中所含威胁之意。他是吐蕃国师，吐蕃国自国主而下，人人崇信佛法，便与大理国无异，鸠摩智向得国王信任，是和是战，多半可凭他一言而决。倘若为了一部经书而致两国生灵涂炭，委实颇不值得。吐蕃强而大理弱，战事若起，大局可虑。但他这般一出言威吓，天龙寺便将镇寺之宝双手奉上，这可成何体统？ 枯荣大师道：“明王既坚要此经，老衲等又何敢吝惜？明王愿以少林寺七十二门绝技交换，敝寺不敢拜领。明王既已精通少林七十二绝技，复又精擅大雪山大轮寺武功，料来当世已无敌手。” 鸠摩智双手合十，道：“大师之意，是要小僧出手献丑？”枯荣大师道：“明王言道，敝寺的《六脉神剑经》徒具虚名，不切实用。我们便以六脉神剑，领教明王几手高招。倘若确如明王所云，这路剑法徒具虚名，不切实用，那又何足珍贵？明王尽管将剑经取去便了。” 鸠摩智暗暗惊异，他当年与慕容博谈论“六脉神剑”之时，略知剑法之意，纯系以内力使无形剑气，都觉不论剑法如何神奇高明，但以一人内力而同时运使六脉剑气，谅非人力所能企及。这时听枯荣大师的口气，不但他自己会使，而且其余诸僧也均会此剑法，天龙寺享名百余年，确不可小觑了。他神态一直恭谨，这时更微微躬身，说道：“诸位高僧肯显示神剑绝艺，令小僧大开眼界，幸何如之！” 本因方丈道：“明王用何兵刃，请取出来吧。” 鸠摩智双手一击，门外走进一名高大汉子。鸠摩智说了几句番话，那汉子点头答应，到门外的箱子中取过一束藏香，交了给鸠摩智，倒退着出门。 众人都觉奇怪，心想这线香一触即断，难道竟能用作兵刃？只见他左手拈了一枝藏香，右手取过地下的一些木屑，轻轻捏紧，将藏香插入木屑之中。如此一连插了六枝藏香，排成一列，每枝藏香间相距约莫一尺。鸠摩智盘膝坐在香后，隔着五尺左右，突然双掌搓了几搓，向外挥出，六根香头一亮，同时点燃了。众人都是一惊，只觉这人内力之强，实已到了不可思议的境界。但各人随即闻到微微的硝磺之气，猜到这六枝藏香头上都有火药，鸠摩智并非以内力点香，乃是以内力磨擦火药，使之烧着香头。这事虽亦难能，但保定帝等自忖也可办到。 藏香所生烟气作碧绿之色，六条笔直的绿线袅袅升起。鸠摩智双掌如抱圆球，内力运出，六道碧烟慢慢向外弯曲，分别指着枯荣、本观、本相、本因、本参、保定帝六人。他这门掌力叫做“火焰刀”，虽然虚无缥缈，不可捉摸，却能以内力杀人于无形。此番他只志在得经，不欲伤人
