Chapter 465 Master Qingchan
The next day, Chen Xuan was dragged to the Zen Summit by Wang Dacong.
There were old and young people sitting high on the stage, but they were all bald. They raised their hands to each other and saluted each other.
This style and style made Chen Xuan feel a little familiar.
It feels like entering a temple...
But after listening carefully for a while, he completely understood.
The meditation in this world is completely different from the meditation in Blue Star in the previous life.
Except for the bald look and some learned gestures, the specific connotations are thousands of miles apart.
According to Wang Dacong's description, Xiniu Hezhou's Zen practice appeared three to four hundred years ago, and it can be regarded as the shorter line among various martial arts.
What they believe in is a patriarch named "Master Qingchan"... Of course, this Master Qingchan may not really exist, but in the eyes of meditators, Master Qingchan is the only one they believe in The ancestor is also the source of their wisdom and strength.
Master Qingchan left only one "Qingchan Sutra", which is very profound and difficult to understand...
Only when Zen practitioners can understand this book can they be considered as beginners and gain the blessing of a kind of energy called "Zen energy"...
The deeper the understanding, the more insights, the higher the wisdom, the greater the 'Zen energy' that can be obtained, and the stronger the force will naturally be.
Among them, the human king of Xiniuzhou, An Yuanju, is a senior researcher of "Qing Chan Sutra". He is only a hundred years old... and he claims to be able to read 20% of this book. He calls himself "Qing Chan Sutra" The Master's first disciple in the human realm has acquired a lot of Zen energy, and his strength is comparable to that of a warrior in the middle or late stage of the Heavenly King realm...
An Yuanju can become the king of the heavenly realm and the king of a continent within a hundred years. He is the youngest and fastest rising among individual kings.
Therefore, if a warrior has the qualifications for meditation, he will naturally be inclined to practice meditation as a shortcut to rapid improvement.
However, not just anyone can read the "Blue Zen Sutra". Warriors who can enter the door of Zen practice are called "predestined people" of the Zen practice lineage...
It is because I have a predestined relationship with Master Qingchan that I can understand his works and receive the blessings of Zen energy he bestowed upon me.
Hundreds of years ago, a large number of people who were destined for meditation appeared in Xiniuzhou, and they transformed the barren Xiniuzhou into a holy land for Zen practice.
In other continents, there are only a few people who are destined to meditate.
Since meditation can indeed improve the strength of a martial artist, and the "Green Zen Sutra" also teaches people to do good, the human world has gradually recognized this path of martial arts and regarded it as a side practice similar to mind cultivation.
In addition, Zen energy is mainly a blessing to the body... It is a bit like the effect of body training, but compared to body training warriors, Zen practice has more combat methods that use Zen energy... These martial arts are generally large-scale. He, among which there are more palm techniques and boxing techniques.
.
After listening to Wang Dacong's narration and observing some people's research on the "Qing Chan Sutra", Chen Xuan understood a general idea.
Compared with Blue Star's meditation, the human realm's meditation is probably still in the introductory stage, simple and superficial.
A patriarch, a sutra, a group of predestined people...that's all in total.
However, Master Qingchan is really amazing. He can actually create his own martial arts... and bless his energy with his disciples... If this person really exists, he should be much higher than the Heavenly King realm. Know how many divine beings there are.
However, although Zen practitioners are also meditating on the "Green Zen Sutra", they are meditating with the purpose of obtaining Zen energy...
And this "Green Zen Sutra" is obscure and difficult to understand. If you read it with a utilitarian mind, you will definitely not be able to fully understand it, so even An Yuanju can only understand 20% of it.
In the world of martial arts, there is nothing we can do about this.
Everyone is here to improve their strength, and the purpose is not so pure, and the same is true for mind cultivation. Therefore, it is difficult for this world to have a profound maxim such as "General Li Speaks of Morality"...
The summit soon passed halfway, and many people discussed some different perceptions and opinions on the "Green Zen Sutra"...
Everyone was talking a lot and speaking freely, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Several elderly bald people on the stage looked pleased.
Although they arrived late, they did not miss the exchange meeting and held a grand summit on the last day.
Among the disciples they brought, three of them were particularly eye-catching.
Those are the three brothers Wu Kong, Wu Neng, and Wu Jing. These three have a very profound understanding and understanding of the "Green Zen Sutra". The improvement in strength brought about by the blessing of Zen energy at such a young age is no less than the level of the Venerable. Peak warrior...
Even if it is placed on the heavenly list, it can still be ranked in the top ten.
Among them, Wukong is the strongest and is an all-around master of meditation; Wukong is the smartest and has the most thoughts on the "Green Zen Sutra" and talks about it all the time; and Wukong is dull by nature, but he is good at meditation and is a young man in Xiniuzhou. In one generation, its strength is second only to the first two.
Three little bald heads were sitting on the stage, their eyes either leering or reserved.
As the 'head of school' figure in Nanzhanzhou, Chen Xuan sat in the audience at Nanzhanzhou's seat, looking like he was listening politely. He had no idea of speaking, but he vaguely felt that the three little The bald man's eyes glanced at him from time to time.
He didn't remember that he had ever interacted with these people... He had nothing to do with the eight poles of meditation.
Although he listened to the "Qingxuan Sutra" and felt that it made some sense, compared with some scriptures he read in his spare time in his previous life, they were no more than enlightenment textbooks for small classes in kindergarten.
So he listened indifferently, but he didn't show any abnormality out of politeness.
But these bald heads, as well as some warriors below who were interested in meditation, showed expressions of joy from time to time.
According to Wang Dacong... these people suddenly gained more understanding during the exchange, received the blessing of Zen energy, and their strength increased. Can they be unhappy?
"You can improve by chatting all day long..."
For a moment, Chen Xuan was a little envious.
No wonder people say that side practices such as mindfulness practice and Zen practice are the shortest paths to martial arts for some people.
The practice of mindfulness relies on sudden enlightenment, and the practice of meditation also relies on enlightenment... In Chen Xuan's eyes, the improvement of their strength is a business without capital, and he himself has to work hard to earn yuan stones to practice... How can he not be jealous? .
Chen Xuan is just trying to be fresh.
After halftime, he felt that he understood almost everything, so he asked Wang Dacong to get up and leave the field.
At this time, Wenwei, who had been talking endlessly about his insights, suddenly stopped. Seeing that Chen Xuan was about to leave, he quickly shouted: "This...Chen Xuan and Chen Daozi, please stay."
Chen Xuan was startled...
The other party actually knew him, was he prepared?
No wonder my eyes stayed on him many times just now.
He was a little wary, but there was still a strange look on his face: "What's the matter?"
The focus of the scene was on him and Wu Mian.
Wu Wen hesitated for a moment. When he saw Chen Xuan was about to leave... he spoke quickly in desperation, but he didn't think of any excuse...
Chen Xuan can't leave. If he leaves, how can the subsequent Wu Kong performance be carried out?
The three brothers came to the exchange meeting this time in high spirits... They just wanted to be a big vote-getter. At the very least, they wanted to be among the top three in the rankings and leave their names as people from Xiniuzhou...
Of course, it was impossible for Wu Kong to defeat Xiao Longnu... He himself didn't have the confidence.
There is another reason. As 'disciples of Master Qingxuan', they generally do not fight with women.
Therefore, Chen Xuan, who is ranked second on the Tianlist, has naturally become their key target.
It's the last day of the exchange meeting. If you miss it, your ranking on the Heavenly Ranking will be fixed, and this trip will be in vain.
Seeing that Wu Wen couldn't find an excuse to keep Chen Xuan for a while, Wu Kong smiled and said: "I heard that Chen Daozi created the Dao Proverbs, which is unparalleled in the field of mind power, and mind practice and Zen practice have similar effects. ...Chen Daozi listened for a long time and thought he had a unique view on meditation. Please feel free to give me some advice.”
These words were said so well that everyone thought that the people in Xiniuzhou admired Chen Daozi's reputation and hoped that he would express his views.
For a moment, they were all curious.
What does the astonishing genius who can write the Great Proverbs think about meditation.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said, "I know nothing about Zen practice and have no opinions whatsoever."
There was an imperceptible startle in Wu Kong's eyes...Isn't this guy a good person?
Or maybe he had already guessed that he would challenge him, so he was afraid and avoided fighting just to wait until the exchange meeting was over and the rankings were fixed.
Wu Jingzi was the most upright person. He said directly: "Chen Daozi, I don't believe you when you say you know nothing. Maybe you don't bother to give guidance to stupid people like us?"
Chen Xuan thought for a moment and still felt that it was better to do less than to do more.
"I just came into contact with Zen practice today, so I shouldn't lie."
Wen Meng smiled and said: "It's not good to talk nonsense...So, Chen Xuan still has certain views on meditation. It doesn't matter, you can say whatever you want."
Wu Kong also nodded: "Please feel free to speak freely."
How could they really expect Chen Xuan to speak? Here, the three brothers were the focus.
As long as he doesn't leave, whatever he says, Wu Kong will step on Chen Xuan to take the position when the martial arts demonstration is held in the second half.
Seeing several people trying to stay, Chen Xuan knew there must be a reason. He was quick-thinking, and after a little thought, he instantly guessed the reason...
"Haha, these three little bald guys with weird names, do I still know what your plans are?"
"Since you have to say something, I won't be polite. If you want to step on me and get the upper hand, you have to pay the price."
Chen Xuan turned around and sat down and said, "Then I will just share my personal opinion. If you offend me, please don't be offended."
All the meditation practitioners on the stage nodded, and the three bald brothers also had smiles on their faces. As long as Chen Xuan stayed, their goal had been achieved.
"First of all, your mentality in studying sutras and commentaries is wrong. In order to improve your strength, you study sutras and commentaries. You are too utilitarian and your thoughts are not pure. How can you understand the truth in sutras and commentaries?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Chen Xuan's words.
This is said to be an opinion, but in fact it is already an accusation.
There is a faint look of anger on the faces of some good-looking Zen practitioners...
"You're not polite as soon as you open your mouth."
"Just speak, why bother exposing others' shortcomings."
"What can you do if you don't want to improve your strength... and study the scriptures?"
Among the three bald brothers, Wukong and Wukong had a cold look on their faces, but Wukong seemed to be lost in thought...
The few old bald heads sitting on the high platform showed admiration.
Many of the meditations in the audience are introductory and elementary levels.
Regarding the issue of enlightenment and mentality... they haven't figured out this advanced causal relationship...
Only through enlightenment can you gain strength. Only through better understanding can you improve more. Only by adjusting your mentality can you gain better understanding. To adjust your mentality, you must get rid of utilitarianism. This is the truth that you can gain more without desires and demands. .
Chen Xuan, after only listening to half of the exchange, could understand such profound Zen principles. The Taoist is the Taoist. It is indeed extraordinary.
This man's talent for meditation is too strong.
Definitely a destined person.
Thinking of this, the eyes of several old Zen practitioners showed fiery gazes.
Wukong nodded and said: "I have learned my lesson, Chen Daozi, please continue talking."
"Secondly... you shave your head, but you don't know why; you try not to associate with women, and you don't know why you do it; and your gestures and movements... you follow them without knowing the meaning... you Yeah, I know very little about the history and inheritance of the Zen practice... I only inherited a little bit of it.”
"Since you don't know what it means, it's better not to act like this."
Chen Xuan said calmly, his voice neither salty nor bland.
This was also his guess. He had long thought that the costumes and movements of these meditators were strange. The key was that they themselves did not know why they were like this.
Chen Xuan felt that Master Qingxuan should be someone from another world... who happened to pass by here and left behind some inheritance and some simple rules.
Later generations of Zen practitioners inherited these rules out of respect for Master Qingxuan, but for example, they had no idea about the connotation of shaving their heads.
Since I don’t know why I need to shave my head, I might as well not shave it.
But as soon as he said these words, the whole place was shocked.
Not only did many Zen practitioners glare at him, but several old Zen practitioners on the stage also had unhappy expressions on their faces.
"Rampant...don't think that just because you are a Taoist, you can talk nonsense. It's so arrogant. You even point fingers at the inheritance of Zen practice."
"What do you mean by knowing very little about the history and inheritance of Zen Buddhism? You, a country boy, can actually say such big words. Do you know more?"
"Master Qingxuan is the founder of Zen martial arts and our only ancestor. Please don't be disrespectful to him."
"Is it possible that such powerful Qingxuan Zen practice is just a scratch of the entire Zen martial arts? You really dare to talk nonsense... saying that we only inherited a little bit of the surface."
Wu Kong also said coldly: "If Chen Daozi can't provide evidence and just bases his guesses on saying things like 'We only inherited a little bit of the surface'... I have to say that Chen Daozi's imagination is too rich. ”
An old Zen meditator sitting at the top said: "Chen Daozi, please consider the current situation before expressing your opinion. Countless Zen practices rely on the shadow of Master Qingxuan... Countless warriors Hengkong Being born in the world is definitely not something that can be achieved with just a little bit of skin. It is a road to the sky.”
Seeing everyone talking... Chen Xuan remained unmoved.
Since the three bald brothers insisted on him expressing his opinion and seemed to be so sincere, he naturally couldn't keep anything secret.
As for the enthusiastic feedback on his views, that's not his business.
Seeing this, Wukong said: "Chen Daozi, have you finished speaking your opinion? If so, please sit down and listen."
Chen Xuan nodded and smiled: "There is still something I haven't said yet."
"I feel that the Zen principles described in this "Qingxuan Sutra" are really shallow. You are just wasting your good life by studying this sutra. Since you can gain energy by studying the Zen Sutra, you Why don't you think of ways to find some advanced scriptures to understand... It's really ridiculous to treat trash as treasure..."
