Debating Zen with martial arts
When the monks from other temples saw that they were both owed to show respect. Master Jikai from Longxing Temple and Master Wude from Lingyan Mountain, they not only have high martial arts skills but also have the spirit of Buddhism, so people in Buddhism respect it very much.
Now the people who are competing for the general principles of Buddhism are only White Horse Temple, Shaolin Temple, Lingyan Temple, Ancient Buddhists, Longxing Temple and Reclining Buddha Temple. The other temples either gave up or were defeated. In addition to the Yuanhua of Shaolin Temple, Yuanyong and the two masters of Longxing Temple are Master Jikai of Longxing Temple, Master Wude of Lingyan Temple, Master Yuanyin of White Horse Temple, and Master Yuanke of Reclining Buddha Temple. The martial arts of these seven people are difficult to compete with, and the victory or defeat may be within one move, and even Master Yuanyong of Shaolin Temple and Yuanhua are not sure of winning.
"Amitabha..." Master Ji Kai whispered the Buddha's name. There was no silence under the ring, and there was no noise. Even more than twenty other rings were silent. Although a large number of masters came to see the Buddhist monks compete, those rings did not stop fighting. However, the masters could let more people try their skills when they went to the ring.
Now the Buddhist general rules are surrounded by a huge crowd, but there are few viewers in other arenas. Everyone has the idea of not missing this rare opportunity.
Several people walked from behind and other masters avoided giving way. Now the Taoist Taoist, the Guo brothers, the Three Elders of Zen Saints and the Four Heavenly Kings have all arrived at the front row, and the heads of each family, the heads of the family and the young masters have also stood in front. Their eyes are all knowing that this Buddhist showdown is about to begin.
Hua Tianfeng, Le Chen and Zhang Benshan also looked here, because this battle was destined to be shocked, so we must not miss it.
The crowd shook, and the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect actually came. There were not many of them but only seven, but these seven people could tell at a glance that they were masters of the Quanzhen Sect. The other Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect were fighting on the other side, and their martial arts were unexpectedly good.
"Get on your move..." Master Wude from Lingyan Temple suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were as water and moist as he had been nourished, but the light emitted from his eyes was as thrilling as lightning. He took a big step and arrived in front of Master Jikai in an instant, just like he was crossing the earth. The cassock was as frivolous as he had been standing there.
"Oh..." The audience was amazed. This move was too abrupt. Many people thought that if they were not able to resist it, they would be extremely fast, but they were ordinary. However, Master Jikai from Longxing Temple was also amazing. He naturally pressed his hands down and seemed to have a force of ten thousand pounds, pushing Master Wude away.
Master Wude's move is a bit like the Shaolin Temple's kashuo Demon-suffering Art, but all the masters who are well versed in this way know that their behaviors and meanings are different. However, although it is not the real kashuo Demon-suffering Art, its power is definitely not much worse than the real kashuo Demon-suffering Art. If the martial arts master is higher than that of the Shaolin Temple, it can even beat the monks in Shaolin Temple with this move.
"Excuse me..." The simple moves of these two people made everyone appreciate the simple moves, but they contained the essence of martial arts, which could benefit even if they watched without fighting! This is not only a great fortune for the younger generation, but also an opportunity for the Taoist Changsheng and others to learn from.
Everyone was savoring it carefully. Although there was only one move, they also benefited a lot. However, after all, the two of them had too high martial arts skills, especially the accumulated practice, which was a priceless treasure. As long as they could understand a corner, they would be enough to comprehend it themselves.
While everyone was still thinking, Master Jikai had already counterattacked. He attacked directly with one hand, but anyone found that his techniques were ever-changing and could not be cracked except to avoid them.
The people in the audience didn't expect to see such exquisite martial arts at the beginning without any concealment! It seems that the two of them wanted to end the competition as soon as possible, so they both had their best moves to decide the outcome!
Master Wude's eyes became brighter, just as he suddenly realized that all the realms turned into dust in front of him. He blocked the robe in front of him and could not go further.
Master Jikai suddenly changed his tricks and grabbed Master Wude's arm with his hand. If Master Jikai was grabbed tightly, the competition between the two might be over.
"Bang..." Master Wude spread his arm and touched the right hand that Master Ji Kai grabbed. Both of them had extremely strong internal strength, so people couldn't help but raise their heads and eyebrows.
Master Ji Kai from Longxing Temple used great skill, while Master Wude from Lingyan Temple used the Dream Jue magic skill. The Great skill focuses on changing moves and grasping standards, while the Dream Jue magic skill focuses on driving the inside and outside without fixed styles. Every move and move are naturally produced in a calm mind!
The great master is attacking, while the dream-jue magic skill is both attacking and defense. The first three words of the great master are mentioned, showing the boundlessness of Buddhism, and the great master means exceeding. The wonderful is not the complexity of the moves, but it is extremely simple and refined. Therefore, there is no need to say much about the power of this martial arts move; the dream-jue magic skill is mainly the word "jue", and dream does not refer to ordinary sleep, but to enlightenment of everything. Only when you realize it can all things awaken.
"So fast..." Master Jikai, who opened his five fingers, grabbed Master Wude like the Buddha's palm. Everyone felt a spirit that no matter how high your martial arts skills were, they could not escape his fingers.
"Pa..." Master Jikai's hand was opened by Master Wude. Master Wude this time, he had no hesitation at all. Many people didn't know how he did it. This time, Master Wude felt a crisis. If he hadn't known this move, he wouldn't have been so decisive.
"Bababa..." The two of them fought faster and faster. When they couldn't crack the opponent's moves, they chose one move to decide the winner. However, their martial arts skills were too high and they were so similar, so every showdown between them ended with a draw.
"No! There is something in their martial arts..." Everyone looked at their martial arts competitions again and it was as difficult as reading Buddhist scriptures, but this also showed the depth of their martial arts and cultivation.
"Interesting, they are comparing not only martial arts but also Buddhist teachings." The Taoist Changsheng said in one sentence. The Guo brothers and the three elders of Zen Saint also felt the same. Although Gong Yi, among the four kings, had to admit it.
Many exquisite martial arts are proud of a passage of scriptures. This is the martial arts of Buddhism. The reason why Shaolin Temple is so brilliant is that their monks constantly interpret various scriptures to match them with martial arts. Although other temples do not have much understanding and interpretation of Shaolin Temple, they are not much worse than Shaolin Temple in terms of martial arts.
Fu Tianwei, Wu Yuchu, Sun Xulun and Shen Lingyan all stared at the ring with their eyes fixedly. Although they didn't understand the truth in the moves, they remembered each move in their hearts and then carefully understood them. Even if they couldn't do it now, they would gain something in the future.
"Amitabha..." Many monks from White Horse Temple, Reclining Buddha Temple and Ancient Buddha Temple are admired by their hearts. They are using their martial arts to interpret scriptures, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, and no one can say anything by winning by understanding the scriptures! After all, no matter how big the temple is, Buddhism is the best.
The two masters Ji Kai and Wude have played more than 300 moves, and the more they see, the more they are, the more confused they are. Now even the monks and masters in other temples are in a difficult face. They open the Buddhist scriptures in their minds and compare them with each other.
‘Everything is illusory…’ This is already the third change, and there may be other moves if you continue to fight.
‘This is unspeakable!’ The two of them actually fought like this, and they were in harmony without showing their feelings. They were not as good as us in such a tacit understanding.
‘Empty is color, color is emptiness…’ The two of them return to simple moves, but their interpretations are absolutely different.
‘Life is like being in the world in the thorns, the heart does not move, and people do not move rashly, and they do not hurt. If the heart moves, people move rashly, hurt their body and their bones, so they experience the pain of time...’ This sentence by Master Ji Kai has produced nine moves. Although it looks similar on the surface, each move is very different, while Master Wude responds one by one.
‘Second! One flower, one world, one Buddha, one Tathagata...’ The monks from each temple are marching for Master Jikai’s martial arts. Master Wude’s flower, one world, one leaf, one Bodhi has also been slaughtered.
"Amitabha..." The monks from all temples chant the Buddha's name together. This is a kind of enlightenment, a kind of real enlightenment.
‘Great sorrow without tears, great enlightenment without words, laughter without sound...’ Both of them tried their best in this move, but they were both careless in their moves. Except for masters like the Taoist Changsheng, no one else could see through the mystery of this move.
‘The sea of suffering is boundless, and looking back is the shore...’ The two of them seemed to let go of something and it was so relaxed. Not only was the artistic conception revealed by the moves, but the expression on their faces was also revealed in front of everyone.
‘Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot...’ When the two showed their understanding of this sentence, the monks in each temple once again chanted the Buddha's name. This battle made the temple admire him. So many Buddhist scriptures and Zen words were integrated into martial arts. Why worry about not being able to stand alone?
‘There is no Bodhi tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in it, so where can dust be caused?’ The Buddha’s name sounded again, but it was extremely impatient to hear the Taoist Changsheng and others. This martial art was exquisitely interpreted by them, but it was not that the Buddha’s name was continuous! They did not understand what these words mean to all Buddhist disciples, so they felt that it was a bit of a big deal.
"If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell..." This trick is cruel! This is the common idea of everyone. Ji Kai and Wude sacrificed their lives to fight, but both gave the chance of victory to each other.
"Pediatric! I'm stupid when I recite scriptures..." The Guo brothers and the three elders of Zen Saint were both worried about the two masters underground. This sentence is actually not only about martial arts but also about Zen heart. As long as one of them is moved by victory, he will lose!
"Amitabha..." This time, the Buddhist names in each temple became louder, especially the monks in Longxing Temple and Lingyan Temple were even happier when they won the martial arts competition.
As a Buddhist disciple, if his martial arts skills are not good, he will not be able to eliminate demons, but if his Zen nature is not strong, he will not be able to defend the Tao, so the two are immediately visible.
‘This exists because there is that, this is born because there is this life, this is born because there is no reason, this is not, this is destroyed because there is no reason, this is destroyed...’ This sentence even the monks in each temple showed a bitter expression, and Master Ji Kai and Wude's moves finally became less smooth.
"All actions are impermanent, and those who live must be exhausted. If they are not born, they will never die. This is the most enjoyable thing...' This is the ultimate move of both of them. They both are the most enjoyable thing to exert their martial arts.
"Papa..." The two figures separated and immediately fought again, but this move still did not determine the outcome.
‘All appearances are false. If you see that all appearances are not appearances, you will see the Tathagata...’ The two of them face each other’s four palms together, and their arms are sore, and then they change their moves and fight again.
