All eyes were cast on Xuan Bei, some were surprised, some were confused, and some were frowning.
Ah, Meng Qi looked at the master in shock, not understanding why he should bear this sin that had nothing to do with him. Shouldn't he be even more strange and want to find out where his Ananda Pojie Sword Technique came from
Amitabha, sin, sin, sin. Kong Wen whispered the Buddha's name, his eyelids drooped, there was no joy on his face, he remained calm and kind.
As the head of the Discipline Hall, Wujing looked at Xuanbei with sharp eyes: Xuanbei, why do you want to privately teach Zhending Ananda the Discipline-breaking Sword Technique
There seemed to be golden pupils condensing in his eyes, like a god or a Buddha.
Xuan Bei raised his head and looked at Wu Jing calmly: Zhending loved sword skills, so his disciple lent him many sword skills to study in order to give him guidance in the future. However, he happened to catch his disciple practicing Ananda's sword skills. The sword technique is highly respected and admired, and he has shown his talent in this sword technique. The disciple loves talents and cannot bear to delay his sword practice. He also thinks that with the progress of his golden bell, it should be a natural thing for him to have enlightenment. So I was confused for a while and privately taught Ananda the sword-breaking technique to him.
Wujing didn't seem to notice anything, and Xuanbei's statement was reasonable. Everyone knew that Zhending had broken the first four levels of the Golden Bell in three months. It was only a matter of time before he would wake up. Then he would go to the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion to borrow some information about Ananda's breaking of the precepts. The sword technique can cover up the private teaching, but no one can think that he will really encounter the danger of using Ananda's sword technique to break the precepts. Under normal circumstances, he will not need to stay in the temple for another hundred years. No chance to take action.
Is that so? Wu Jing turned to look at Meng Qi.
Meng Qi's mind turned and he knew that lying could not hide Wu Jing. In the blink of an eye, he followed the master's words and came up with a countermeasure. He looked at Wu Jing without fear: Looking back at the head seat, thanks to the master's love, the disciple can start. Mastering the Pure Purity Form has absolutely nothing to do with Zhen Yong Zhen Chang.
Every word he said was true, but his own honest meaning was completely different from what others heard. Meng Qi meant that if Xuanbei hadn't practiced sword skills and allowed himself to think about changes while practicing the Golden Bell Shield, he would have There is no preliminary grasp of what happened in Duan Qingjing, and after others hear Xuanbei's self-reported private teaching, they will only think that he is expressing that Xuanbei's private teaching enabled him to learn the first form of Ananda's breaking the precepts sword technique.
As for his connection with Zhenyong Zhenchang, Meng Qi had a clear conscience and spoke frankly.
Wu Jing nodded lightly and didn't ask any more questions. He turned to the sky and heard: Abbot, Xuan Bei violated the commandments and taught stunts privately. He should be severely punished. Zhending knew he shouldn't and still practiced Ananda's breaking command sword technique. He should also be punished. .
Wu Jing, you are the leader of the Discipline Hall, how do you think Kong Wen should be punished
Wujing thought for a while and said: Xuanbei should be punished with a staff a hundred times, and he should copy the Prajna Sutra a hundred times. He will not be allowed to enter the Sutra Pavilion within five years, and he will not be allowed to learn any other magical skills.
The true concentration should be punished with a stick twenty times, and the Prajna Sutra should be copied ten times. Before the four orifices are opened, one is not allowed to enter the Sutra Pavilion.
Zhending and Zhenhui discovered that Zhenchang Zhenyong had stolen the scriptures, which was a great achievement. They asked Brother Wusi to decide the reward.
His consistent philosophy is that every offense must be punished, and merit must be rewarded, but the merit should not be offset by the fault, lest anyone break the precepts based on merit.
Regarding this punishment, Meng Qi, who had indeed secretly learned Ananda's breaking sword skills, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the Lord of Six Paths of Samsara was discovered, he would die without a burial place. If he did not explain the Lord of Six Paths of Samsara, Zhenyong Zhenchang was involved in stealing scriptures, so he was just punished twenty times and copied the scriptures ten times. It was nothing. After all, he had a golden bell.
The relatively severe punishment is that he is not allowed to enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion before the fourth orifice is opened. Meng Qi previously thought that after the fourth orifice was opened, he would read the experience of his predecessors in practicing Ananda's breaking the precepts knife technique, and then select two or three acupoints, acupuncture points, and soul transfer. As for the auxiliary stunt, now it seems that the plan has to be postponed, but compared to exposing the secret or being wrongly accused, this is not serious at all.
Kongwen glanced at the other chief elders, nodded slowly and said: Amitabha, the punishment is appropriate, I have no objection, Wusi, you decide the reward.
Wu Si, the leader of the Bodhi Courtyard shaped like a dead tree, announced the name of the Buddha: Zhenhui practices the art of pinching flowers and cannot be distracted by other skills, so he is rewarded with a string of Buddhist beads for evading calamity, which can purify the mind and brighten the spirit, and protect the body with Buddha's light; true concentration is opened. He is not allowed to enter the Sutra Pavilion before the Four Apertures, so he is rewarded with the opportunity to choose a unique skill.
Some of the Fifty-Four Outer Skills are moves and skills, regardless of the Qi Accumulation Chapter, the Awakening Chapter, etc., such as the Ananda Pojie Sword Technique, which has a total of five moves, each of which is at the exterior level. You can start practicing during the Qi Accumulation period, but this only They can scratch the surface, but they can't exert much power. There are very few people like Meng Qi who understand the true meaning of a move.
Of course, there are also some moves and techniques that have very high requirements and require enlightenment or even an external realm to practice them.
When he first heard that Zhenhui had been rewarded with a Buddhist bead that was obviously a weapon-level item, Meng Qi was quite uneasy. If Wusi had given him a weapon-level sword, wouldn't he have exchanged it for the Red Sun Suppressing Evil Knife in vain? Later, Wu Si's words made him feel relieved, and he began to struggle and hesitate, whether to choose the secret technique of dipping acupuncture points or the method of disintegrating demons.
As for the soul-moving mental intrusion type, I have the magic of transfiguration. If I only choose one, there is no need to repeat it.
After thinking for a while, Meng Qi suddenly laughed secretly to himself: I don't even know what the fifty-four are, so why bother now
If there is a method for disintegrating demons, choose it
Amitabha, I have no objection. Wu Jing recognized the reward of Wu Si, the first in the Bodhi Courtyard.
The head of the Discipline Academy, who was responsible for rewards and punishments, had no objection. Naturally, the other heads of elders would not object and nodded one after another.
Therefore, Wu Jing said to Xuan Bei and Meng Qi: Xuan Bei, Zhen Ding, privately imparting secret knowledge must be executed in front of the abbot, and Xuan Kong and I will not hold back.
In the Main Hall, there were only two monks from the Discipline Academy, namely him and Xuan Kong.
The disciple is willing to be punished. Xuanbei took off his clothes from his back and knelt upright.
Meng Qi also followed his example and knelt down, exposing his back and standing up straight.
Wu Jing grabbed his hand, and a little glaze light seemed to appear in front of him, condensing into a transparent and illusory Buddha staff, and then he whipped Xuan Bei on the back hard.
when
After being drawn, there was a sound like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning. Xuanbei did not resist with any strength, and a scar immediately appeared on his back.
Although the expression on his face was still heavy with self-reproach and showed no trace of pain, it was a bit whiter. It was obvious that Wu Jing really didn't hold anything back.
Xuankong went outside the palace and borrowed a copper stick, walked up behind Meng Qi, and struck him hard with the stick.
The golden bell was unable to operate during the torture, so Meng Qi could only resist. His skin showed a dark gold color, and severe pain shot straight into his forehead.
One stick after another, streaks of blood appeared on Meng Qi's back. If it hadn't been for the golden bell's ability to automatically protect his body, it would have torn apart his skin and injured his lungs.
But he still straightened his back, without any weakness in his heart.
What does this little pain mean when we are shot by crossbow arrows and turned into hedgehogs, when we are stabbed by Cui Xu's sword again and again, when our chest and abdomen are cut open by a long knife, what does this little pain mean
One stick after another, and the twenty sticks were quickly over. Meng Qi got dressed, stood up slowly, and looked at the master who was still being tortured, feeling very grateful in his heart.
Thanks to Master for shouldering the responsibility this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
But why is he so kind to us and willing to bear unexplainable crimes
How should I explain Ananda's breaking of the precepts and sword skills to him in private
With complicated emotions, Xuan Bei also finished his torture, and Kong Wen asked him to take Meng Qi and Zhen Hui back to the courtyard to rest.
The moon was bright in the night sky and the autumn colors were slightly cold. On the way back to the courtyard, Meng Qi kept thinking about how to explain to his master.
Suddenly, Xuan Bei in front spoke softly: Zhen Ding, the past is in the past, no need to think about it anymore.
Master Meng Qi looked at him doubtfully.
Xuanbei walked in front without looking back: No matter how you learned Ananda's sword-breaking technique, it has passed now. My teacher will not ask you. Just remember to abide by the precepts in the future.
However, through the things that are true and eternal, I would like to remind you that you should not be greedy. If you are greedy together, you will easily fall into a sea of endless misery.
I can save you once as a teacher, but I cannot save you for the rest of your life.
Yes, Master. Meng Qi replied with blurred vision. No matter what the master had in mind, or whether he had any doubts, at least at this moment, he was very moved.
Inside the Mahavira Hall.
Wu Si, how should we deal with the incident at the Vajra Temple this time? Kong Wen asked Wu Si, the head of the Bodhi Courtyard, in a casual manner.
Wusi pondered for a moment and said: Abbot, I have always acted upright in Shaolin, so this matter should be the same. First, we should send monks to the major sects and families to explain the matter and show justice. Secondly, we should invite an elder to go to Jingang Temple to question. See how they answer, and then decide whether to conquer the devil and defend the way, or to show mercy.
It's a pity that I wasn't there when Zhenyong Zhenchang died. Otherwise, if I could ask about the remaining soul, the evidence would be even more conclusive. Wu Jing, the leader of the Discipline Academy, said with a slight regret, but the Zhenyong meridian, acupoints, body, etc. still have traces of Kongang Temple's martial arts, so they can't quibble.
Kong Wen chuckled and said: They can say that we deliberately falsified the truth, or killed the Vajra Temple disciples and pretended to be Shaolin traitors. However, Wu Si responded well and just did as he said.
Abbot, which elder should be sent to Wuding, the head of the Jingang Temple Miscellaneous Courtyard, asked. It is his responsibility to arrange the monks' tasks.
Kong Wen pondered for a moment: Just him.
For the Technique of Sacrifice, Meng Qi chose this secret skill after choosing from thousands of choices on the third and fourth floors of the Sutra Pavilion.
It is similar to the method of disintegrating demons and is one of the seventy-two unique skills. After using it, it burns the essence and blood, restores the skill in a short time and increases the strength by 30%. It can also concentrate all the skills into one blow, producing terrible effects, and Conquer the devil.
And after it is over, the mild cases will become seriously ill and their martial arts will regress, while the severe cases will have their meridians severed and become useless.
Of course, this is not a problem when there is the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation or other teammates with superb medical skills.
After copying a sacrifice formula, Meng Qi returned to Xuan Bei's courtyard with joy and no pressure. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Xuan Bei waiting there.
Really determined, pack your bags. Xuanbei ordered.
Ah Meng Qi was confused.
Xuanbei nodded lightly: The abbot sent his master to the Diamond Temple to question the theft of scriptures, and you and Zhenhui are important witnesses, so I asked you to go with the master.
Meng Qi was surprised and happy that he could leave the temple now.
