Chapter 358 Chapter 2 The Battle of the Good

They walked around the main hall and came to the pavilion where Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan had a conversation last night. Except for the continuous chanting from the main hall behind, there was no one around, only snowflakes falling from the sky softly and silently. Kou Zhong said with a smile: "I have a feeling: it's like turning into honey, all the good bees and bad butterflies who smell the fragrance, come to share a little bit." The two let the snowflakes fall on their bodies, and walked towards the Tianwang Hall facing the Daxiong Hall without stopping.At the back of the hall, there are towering pagodas and numerous halls. The left side seems to be the residence of monks, and the right side is the Zhaitang, guest rooms and other buildings, which are large in scale.

Xu Ziling shook his head and said with a smile: "You boy, you have to come up with a few nondescript metaphors from time to time, mad bees, waves and butterflies competing for nectar, only applicable to the situation where a man chases a woman. Just come and find us!" In the Hall of Heavenly Kings, Maitreya with a big belly is worshiped in the middle, and Wei Tuo is molded on the back.The sculptor is exquisite, with both form and spirit, vivid and lifelike. The four holy monks sit side by side on four futons in front of the Buddhist altar with their backs on their backs. On the left and right are Master Daoxin and Master Zhizhi who once fought against Xu Ziling. Venerable Sir, the remaining monk is skinny and black, wearing a thin gray robe. Of course, it is Master Jiaxiang of the Sanlun School, which Zhu Yuyan praised for his dry Zen and profound skills.

The four monks silently joined together and fell down, just like the four extra statues of Bodhisattvas, but it is not visually awkward at all, as if they have merged into the vast temple space. A stick of fragrant incense was lit and inserted in the middle of the sacrificial cauldron, sending out fragrance that filled the Buddhist hall. Kou Zhong was not intimidated by this oppressive sacred atmosphere, he took a step forward, and said with a laugh: "The four masters drive An Xiang, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are here to see you." The four monks shouted the Buddha's name together.

The voices of the four monks are different, and the tones are different. Daoxin is clear and soft, wisdom is bright and bright, the heart of the emperor is strong, and Jiaxiang is deep and hoarse. But the voices of the four together are like the evening drum and the morning bell, shaking the palace. The big dreamer of the Spring and Autumn Period wakes up and realizes that life is just a dream! Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had strange feelings. Master Jiaxiang said in his deep and hoarse voice, but the words were clear and resounding: "The two benefactors are indeed believers, if they can stop fighting, it will be of great merit."

Kou Zhong smiled slightly, and calmly said: "It's rare that the master is willing to give pointers. How could I, Kou Zhong, miss this once-in-a-thousand-year conscience? I don't know how to pass the test of the four masters?" Master Daoxin laughed, and said: "There is no way to go, there is no way out in the void, as long as the two benefactors can go back to where they came from, we will never interfere with what you two like to do in the future." The two heard you look at me. Daoxin's words imply a mystery, Wumen can refer to either the gate of the Heavenly King Hall or the mountain gate of the outer courtyard, the distance between the two is different, so there is a big difference.

The four monks still turned their backs to them at this moment, the wind and snow outside the hall filled the sky, and the atmosphere felt even more mysterious. Xu Ziling felt that he was at a disadvantage, and it was wrong to ask, and it was even worse not to ask.Secretly squeezed the Great Vajra wheel seal, and drank the mantra in a deep voice. "Pro"! The four monks were not moved at all on the surface, but with their sharp eyesight, they could feel the hairs on the backs of their necks twitching, obviously moved by Xu Ziling's mantra containing the highest spiritual law of Buddhism.It is to use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son.

Venerable Emperor Xin said with a strong and sonorous voice: "Excellent! Excellent! Master Xu is proficient in the mantra mantra, which surprised the old monk. After the mantra is released, the green mountains and green waters are everywhere. I don't know where I got this method. I beg for it." Instruct." After Xu Ziling's mantra, the originally very strong and strange spiritual pressure and atmosphere have been destroyed without a trace. Xu Ziling smiled indifferently, and said slowly: "This is what the master of the truth passed to the boy during the game before the death."

Master Wisdom whispered the Buddha's chant, and said softly: "The mind is fascinated by the Dharma, and the mind is enlightened. It turns out that the mantra of Xu Benefactor who has traveled all over the world in Buddhist temples and passed on the secrets of Buddhism. No wonder we were not moved by us last night." Master Jiaxiang suddenly said: "The two benefactors can make moves!" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were stunned at each other, the four monks looked at them with their backs in peace and contentment, in the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the Buddhist hall, combined with their unfathomable and profound trekking as quiet as a mountain, there was an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura. Momentum, teach them how to move.

Moreover, the four monks are integrated into one body, and they really have the spirit of defeating others without fighting. They are perfect and flawless, and there is no gap to be found. If they move towards such a "Buddha formation", no matter how conceited and self-confident the two are, they still have the fear of their own destruction. U-turn away?It is even more useless, and it is completely contrary to what Kou Zhong said before.If the Qi is weak, it is even more vulnerable. All of a sudden, they knew that with such a light move by Master Jiaxiang, he reassessed the upper hand and forced them into a situation where they could not advance or retreat.

Kou Zhong let out a long laugh, shaking the hall. "Tuk tuk tuk tuk"! Just as he was laughing, Master Jiaxiang knocked on the wooden fish in front of him, it was so natural, but it seemed incompatible with Kou Zhong's loud laughter. Kou Zhong found it difficult to continue laughing "indulgently", so he stopped laughing quickly. The sound of the wooden fish stopped at the same time, extremely weird. Kou Zhong said in amazement: "Master is really powerful, is this some kind of wooden fish mantra?" Daoxin laughed and said: "Xiao Kouzhong is genuine, he doesn't put on any pretense, let it be natural, it's rare."

"Keng..." Kou Zhong pulled out Jing Zhongyue on his back, let out a long laugh, and slashed out with his saber. The four monks were moved at the same time. Xu Ziling also exclaimed in his heart, because this is the only supreme magic method to "break the formation". The saber didn't hit any of the four monks, but it struck the empty space Zhang Xu behind the four monks, and the energy generated by the point where the knife fell engulfed the four monks. It must be known that the two of them just now had no offense to attack, no defense to defend, and no gaps to attack.Moreover, if Kou Zhong's laughter is broken, he will be forced to be at a disadvantage. If there is no way to deal with it, the situation will become even worse.But when he suddenly drew his saber, he turned the whole situation around, as long as the four monks use their skills to counter each other to balance the momentum, if Kou Zhong and the others can break the situation where they are either attacking or defending, there will be no gaps to find.Under the multiplication of momentum and traction, Kou Zhong can also turn passive into active, and change "Chess Game" into other powerful moves of "Eight Techniques in the Well". Venerable Emperor Xin chanted the Buddha's name, and at some point the Zen stick came into his hand, at the same time it rolled up, came to the space in front of Kou Zhong, and swept it with the stick. Kou Zhong called out "Okay", mobilized the positive and negative energy in his body, and retreated quickly.Xu Ziling walked past him, pinched the seal of the Great Vajra Wheel secretly, and punched out, hitting the head of the staff.The transformation of the two people is like a bird flying in a secluded forest, or a fish jumping in a blue stream, it's all so natural and without a trace. The "Dzogchen Staff Method" of Venerable Emperor Xin emphasizes the free and perfect state of "ruling everywhere, and everything is true wherever you stand", coming from nothing and returning to nowhere.No matter how tight the opponent's defense is, his Dzogchen staff can still flow through it like a stream through a dense bamboo forest.At the beginning, it was estimated that Kou Zhong could only use a knife to block, then he would be able to use his stick technique, penetrate every hole, and attack with mercury pouring down the ground without any gaps, completely destroying Kou Zhong's fighting spirit and confidence. Unexpectedly, Kou Zhong did not advance but retreated, and Xu Ziling who replaced him used astonishing ingenuity and clumsiness to shake the edge of his staff with a fist before his technique changed.The Zen mind that the Venerable Emperor Xin had practiced for many years could not help but fluctuate for a while. Dao Xin and Zhi Zhi shuddered in their hearts, knowing that after the battle last night, Xu Ziling made another breakthrough. There was a "pop", like dead wood hitting each other. Xu Ziling felt that the inner strength of the Dzogchen Staff of the Emperor's Heart was deep, upright and pure, like the Yuanchuan River Valley pouring down from the top of the mountain, vast and boundless, if you attack it hard with true energy, it is like throwing a small stone into that kind of boundless space, Can only get a response at most.Si Ding Zhi Sheng, of course, will not learn last night's delusion to borrow strength, secretly squeeze the Yin Jue, and push the opponent's stick strength horizontally. Venerable Emperor Xin lowered his eyebrows and shouted: "Benefactor Xu is indeed brilliant." While speaking, the Zen stick moved slightly along the way, and suddenly the shadow of the stick exploded all over the sky, attacking Xu Ziling. As if Xu Ziling knew that he would make this move, the lightning moved horizontally, and Kou Zhong, who was waiting for him, bowed his back and flicked, and with a move of "strike strange", the well used turned into a yellow light, and attacked the stormy Zhang Yingshen. place. "When" the shadow of the stick dissipated. The Venerable Emperor Xin stands with a stick, while Kou Zhong is slashing at him, his eyes are shining brightly, and he looks like he will sweep away the three armies. forcing people. Daoxin, Zhizhi, and Jiaxiang chanted the Buddha's name together, and suddenly moved to the corners of various halls, surrounding the three of them in the middle. Standing up now, Master Jiaxiang was three or four inches taller than Xu and Kou. He was as thin as a dry bamboo, with a long and narrow face, eyes that seemed to be open or closed, with a wooden fish in his left hand and a mallet in his right. He came out with the demeanor of an eminent monk. Wisdom whispered: "The two benefactors are more clever than we imagined, and the poor monk admires them." Being able to force the four of them to decide to act at the same time, it is very proud to say it. A smile escaped from the corner of Venerable Emperor Xin's mouth, and he said softly: "Master Kou's saber has already grasped the essence of the Dao of the Dao, and thousands of changes remain unchanged, forcing this old monk to give up change and seek one, and change defense to offense. Except for the 'Heavenly Sword' Song Que, there is probably no one in the world who can use such a knife." Kou Zhong's right hand holding the saber recovered from the numbness at this time, thinking that he could fight this Buddhist figure who is like a fairy and Buddha series without vomiting blood and getting injured, his confidence immediately increased, and he calmly smiled: "Fortunately, today Instead of fighting with the masters with their lives, how about making a covenant with the incense, if the incense is exhausted and we still cannot leave this hall, then we will be considered losers, how about that?" Daoxin laughed and said, "Little Kou Zhong speaks quickly, let's make a decision. Otherwise, we four old fellows will look too stingy!" Kou Zhong let out a long whistle, his expression majestic, extremely powerful, and he said coldly: "I'm afraid there is still half an hour to burn this incense, so I will take this opportunity to ask the venerable for advice first, but please pay attention to everyone, the boy is Will desert at any moment." After speaking, take three steps. Venerable Emperor Xin opened his eyes sharply, and his eyes were full of vigor. If it was in the eyes of mediocrity, Kou Zhong could only see Kou Zhong making himself erratic by making moves, so that the angle of the knife would be even more unpredictable.But what kind of person is Emperor Xin, one glance at Shi Chuan Kou Zhong is using his strides to exercise the strange qi in his body, if he takes a knife, it will be even more erratic and unstoppable.And it must be thunderous, powerful and powerful. With the criticism of the Venerable Emperor's Heart, he must not let him gather his strength to unleash the saber, and the Zen staff rushed out, sweeping Kou. Who knows that Kou Zhong laughed and said: "The Venerable is tricking me!" At the same time, he took the fourth step. Everyone present, including Xu Ziling, felt that Kou Zhong's step had a shocking mystery hidden in it. It seemed like a step, but he snatched inches away from Venerable Emperor's Heart's stick.The latter was dazzled by his first three steps, and for a moment he missed that fierce and incomparable stick, which did not threaten his opponent who was more than two years younger than him at all. Xu Ziling was also amazed. He hadn't learned Kou Zhong's strange footwork from "Heavenly Sword" Song Que before, but he never thought that he could use it so completely naturally and mixed with other special footwork, luring the enemy first. The shot was made suddenly when the opponent was caught off guard, and the most rare thing was that there was no warning. Swish, swish, slashing out three times in a row, full of vigor, enveloping the emperor's heart, Jing Zhongyue turned into a lightning-like yellow glow, each knife pierced into the wall-like stick shadow from an unexpected angle Here, each knife sealed the change of the Emperor's heart, forcing this master of Buddhism to be unable to use his Dzogchen stick technique with all his strength. Xu Ziling found it hard to believe the horrifying facts he saw, while the other three monks Not to mention. "Dangdangdang"! Kou Zhong retracted the saber and returned to Xu Ziling, stroked the saber and shouted, "Happy! Happy! Really happy!" Venerable Emperor Xin asked the question with one palm, and sighed: "Master Kou is indeed an extraordinary talent in martial arts, I admire you." Master Daoxin interjected: "In my opinion, this fight really doesn't need to take time to compare, because if the four of us fight together, Xiao Kou Zhongshi will not be able to use this mysterious technique to make His Majesty powerful. If there is any damage , everyone is not feeling well." If you say these words, because Kou Zhong is too powerful, even Daoxin is not confident that he can subdue him without killing him.Kou Zhong bumped Xu Ziling lightly with his elbow, and said with a smile, "What did Young Master Ling say?" Xu Ziling shrugged his shoulders coolly, and said, "What do I have to say? It's all up to you!" The four monks were all amazed in their hearts, only seeing that the two of them are still so leisurely and leisurely, talking and laughing with their soldiers under their huge skills, but this already shows the demeanor of martial arts masters, how can ordinary masters be able to match it. Kou Zhong let out a long laugh full of confidence, shook his head and said: "Master Daoxin's words are wrong! If I, Kou Zhong, were just a boy, I would give up the sword and admit defeat at this moment, but Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and ours The goal is just to leave through the temple gate, it will be another matter." "True"! Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling felt a chilling throbbing, the sound of the wooden fish knocked by Master Jiaxiang seemed to have a strange force through the wall, and it was sent to the deepest part of their hearts. Suddenly, Master Jiaxiang, who was respected as the head of the four monks, moved to the front of the two, while Venerable Emperor Xin stepped back, forming a triangular formation with Daoxin and Wisdom who were guarding the left and right corners of the door. around the center. The long face of Jiaxiang's withered manuscript did not show the slightest emotional fluctuation, the wooden fish had been hidden in the couch long ago, his withered hands stuck out from the wide sleeves of the gray robe, his right hand was upright, his left hand was resting flat, and he said indifferently: "The two benefactors today The failure lies in our overconfidence. The four of us have never fought against anyone in the past twenty years, and it is difficult to get up the heart to fight. But if we only need to keep the two of us in this palace for a certain time limit, we can still do it reluctantly Arrived. It is related to the common people in the world, please forgive the poor monk for offending me." Kou Zhong stood upright with a knife in his hand, pointing at Jiaxiang from a distance, sending out strong waves, resisting Jiaxiang's shocking momentum, and responded loudly: "We are not overconfident, but dare to face the challenge, so we set a clear goal. The reason why I, Kou Zhong, refuse to give up the knife and admit defeat is also for the sake of the common people in the world. It is only because of our different positions that you and I have diametrically opposed arguments." Daoxin laughed and said: "Green green bamboos are full of truth; lush yellow flowers are nothing but wisdom. Xiao Kouzhong, do you understand?" Kou Zhong smiled bitterly: "What is truth? What is wisdom? Will you understand?" Master Wisdom clasped his palms together, and a string of sandalwood Buddha beads hung down. He said in a persuasive way: "Truthfulness refers to the eternal truth contained in things, and Prajna refers to the wisdom of becoming a Buddha. Do you understand?" Kou Zhong glanced at Xu Ziling who was standing beside him with his hands down, and said with a smile, "Xiaoling has more Buddha-nature than me, please ask him!" Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said: "Whether all things hide the Buddha nature, since green bamboos and yellow flowers are among them, of course there are Buddha's truth and wisdom in it. But the boy still doesn't understand, this is different from Kou Zhong's position, and the argument is also What's the difference?" Daoxin said happily: "Move according to the circumstances, and act according to the opportunity. We act according to the circumstances, why not the two benefactors. Dependence arises and ends, and cause and effect multiply. That's why there is an appointment at this moment. Although the benefactor can understand himself, but Can’t understand what’s in front of me. If you lose your grasp, you’ll go astray. How can you let it go naturally, with nothing to live in?” Kou Zhong raised the long knife in his hand, let out a tremor, and said calmly: "Thank you for the enlightenment, I have learned a lot of truths that I have never thought of before today. Four masters, please teach me again." Master Jiaxiang uttered the Buddha's name, and finally made a move.
