Chapter 59: Breaking the precepts by killing; Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita

"Disciple, give it a try."

Hua Xiaolan bowed.

As he spoke, he began to practice for Abbot Sanzang.

"Like a Shadow, Filled with Legs" has three aspects: like a shadow, free and real.

There are twelve routes in each level.

The total number is thirty-six leg techniques.

This leg technique is not light Kung Fu, but in terms of lifting, leaping and jumping, it is much more powerful than light Kung Fu.

Apart from anything else, the first level of light is as strong as a shadow. When it is cultivated to perfection, it can be raised to a height of two meters with one lift!

He can climb over eaves and walls and climb over ridges with ease.

One kick is enough to break the liver and gallbladder of a person who has not received any martial arts training!
Hua Xiaolan shouted tenderly and followed the leg technique, first flipping in the air, then sweeping her legs horizontally, and then whipping like the wind.

After a while, she leaped into the air like a grasshopper, but unfortunately she could only rise six feet off the ground!
See this scene.

Abbot Sanzang shook his head.

Hua Xiaolan only practiced five moves and then gave up.

In this regard, Abbot Sanzang pointed out Hua Xiaolan's shortcomings in one sentence:

"You can do somersaults pretty well, but you just don't know how to use your Qi."

"When you were leaping, didn't you feel your Qi power was weak?"

"Weak?"

Hua Xiaolan frowned and looked up, somewhat confused.

Abbot Sanzang explained:

"The leg technique says 'rushing the Qi away from the body', do you know what rushing the Qi means? You have to store the Qi like a cannon, release it as soon as you raise it, and then rush the Qi to raise your body, so that you can be as light as a swallow. Otherwise, you won't be able to pull out even a foot..."

Hearing this, Hua Xiaolan nodded and carefully pondered the meaning.

After a while, I seemed to understand.

He started practicing alone.

This time, she actually grew eight feet taller!
Seeing this, Abbot Sanzang finally smiled.

Then, his eyes turned to Tang Xiaolong and Chen Xiaohu standing beside him.

……

……

He continued to instruct the three people in this way for seven days before Abbot Sanzang stopped.

He naturally understood the principle of relaxation and tension.

……

Before I knew it, half a month had passed.

Over the past twenty days, the Black Fox King has not appeared since he stole the first volume of the "Book of Power".

Abbot Sanzang once asked Elder Longchuan to pay more attention to the movements in the martial arts world.

But after inquiring with Elder Longchuan, he found out that the Central Plains was peaceful.

The Black Fox King didn't seem to cause any more trouble.

During this period of time, Lin Xuan successfully cultivated Bodhi power to perfection.

The third move, Vajra posture, is almost complete.

In addition, Lin Xuan also practiced the sword technique of breaking the precepts.

Lin Xuan had a good understanding to begin with, and with the guidance of Abbot Sanzang, he mastered the sword technique of breaking precepts very quickly.

In addition, when practicing this sword technique every day, one must observe the Cauldron of Creation, recognize one's own shortcomings, and correct them in time.

As for Long, Hu and Lan, they have made considerable progress in the past half month.

Each of them mastered the technique of weapons that they practiced.

I also learned a unique skill.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

As for the timing to launch the Cauldron of Fortune, Lin Xuan has never found it.

……

……

Click!

Shaolin Temple.

On the back mountain.

Suddenly, there was a ray of white light like moonlight sprinkling on the ground. Lin Xuan swung his sword, and with the burst of sword energy, a tree as thick as a bowl was cut in half!
Not far away, Abbot Sanzang saw this scene, nodded, and praised:
"good."

"Xiao Xuan, you have been practicing the "Breaking Precepts Sword Technique" for a few days. From the looks of it, you have already gotten started."

As he spoke, Abbot Sanzang seemed to be thinking about the future, and couldn't help but frowned:
"But from now on, it will be difficult to practice."

"Buddhist disciples emphasize compassion, but this sword technique is intended to kill and break the precepts. Right now, you haven't comprehended the sword's meaning, so naturally you can't feel anything."

“But once you comprehend the sword’s intent, the desire to kill often grows, and the sword’s intent becomes brutal. At that point, it’s very easy to go astray.”

"In my opinion, you should go to the Sutra Library tonight and choose a Buddhist scripture to practice, so as to clear your mind and avoid the Buddha platform being contaminated in the future." Hearing this, Lin Xuan answered seriously:
"The disciple understands."

Lin Xuan was still clear about the principle of the backlash of martial arts.

Abbot Sanzang's words just now served as a reminder to Lin Xuan.

Previously, he thought that since he had cultivated the Bodhi Power of the "Nine Diagrams and Six Sitting Statue Body Techniques", even if he had mastered the "Breaking Vows Sword Technique", it might not have much impact on him.

But when he chopped the tree off with one blow just now, the sense of satisfaction he felt gave him a different kind of pleasure.

Today, only trees are cut down.

If he were to kill someone in the future, especially if he was blinded by rage, Lin Xuan might not be able to suppress his evil nature.

"Master is right. I should find a Buddhist scripture to practice. As long as my mind is as clear as water and my spirit is focused, these are just means to strengthen myself."

In his mind, Lin Xuan remembered what Abbot Sanzang said.

Seeing Lin Xuan's response, Abbot Sanzang suddenly smiled and said:

"In that case, I will let you practice hard. Tomorrow morning, you and Xiaolong will sweep the yard outside the Shaolin Temple and fill up the water tank."

Lin Xuan: “…”

……

……

night.

Lin Xuan, Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan finished their dinner together.

He went to the Sutra Repository and looked for a Buddhist scripture that could help calm the mind and dispel delusion.

"The Sutra of the Merits of Loving-kindness, the Sutra of Auspiciousness, the Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita, the Amitabha Sutra, the Heart Sutra, the Sutra of the Eightfold Awakening of the Great Beings, the Dhammapada, the Sutra of the Vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva..."

Coming to the bookshelf, Lin Xuan began to select carefully.

It is worth mentioning that the Sutra Repository was damaged in the battle between Abbot Sanzang and the Black Fox King.

After more than half a month of repairs, it is basically completed.

The only thing missing is a large beam on the top floor!

"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the profound Prajnaparamita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and was able to overcome all sufferings... That was it."

After reading patiently for a while, Lin Xuan finally chose the Heart Sutra.

After informing the elder guarding the pavilion, Lin Xuan returned to the dormitory holding the Heart Sutra.

As soon as he arrived at the dormitory, he heard Tang Xiaolong complaining to Xiaohu:
"The Bodhi Sword Technique is really difficult to learn. I have been studying it for half a month, but I can't even withstand the three swords of Elder Longchuan!"

"Xiaohu, what about you?"

"You are learning stick techniques, which should be pretty simple, right?"

"Simple?"

"I get scolded by Elder Xuanfeng every day. He has a really bad temper and it seems like he demands more of me than other brothers."

"By the way, Elder Xuanfeng also asked me to sweep the floor and fill up the water tank."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaolong's eyes widened:

"Ok?"

"That's what Elder Longchuan told me!"

At this moment, Lin Xuan walked in and heard them complaining. He couldn't help but teased:
"I heard you complaining as soon as I arrived. Do you regret having taken Abbot Sanzang as your master?"

"Brother!"

After he finished speaking, Xiaolong and Xiaohu knew who had come back and shouted.

"No way, brother, don't talk nonsense."

Hearing this, the two shook their heads.

"Well, let me tell you a good news." Lin Xuan's eyes became a little cunning.

"What good news?"

Xiaolong and Xiaohu noticed where he was and looked at him.

"Tomorrow I will do the same as you guys, sweeping the floor and fetching water." Lin Xuan said with a chuckle.

"Oh, so, Senior Brother was also scolded by the Master for learning martial arts?"

Now, Xiaolong felt much more relaxed. He leaned against the wall, pushed up his glasses, and said very "wisely".

In their opinion, their senior brother has always been of excellent aptitude and understanding, and his character is also praised by the elders.

Hard work like sweeping the floor and fetching water was never his turn.

"That's not true..."

Lin Xuan shook his head.

Then, without saying much.

Once I got into bed, I crawled under the quilt and went to sleep.
