Chapter 39 (30)

It is not that he can't speak to his friends. On the one hand, he is unwilling to worry them. On the other hand, he will inevitably have too clear subjective consciousness and it is actually unfavorable to determine where to go. In this situation, he will still listen to some Zen lectures to help him clarify his thoughts. Seeing that the war is about to be imminent, he left everyone away, and he also secretly swore that this selfish and indifferent deeds will definitely be the last time.

A few days later, Li Yijie finally arrived at Shaolin Temple. The monk in front of the gate came forward to greet him and said, "President Li, why are you free to come today? Since you are coming, don't you say that you will send someone to send a letter?" Li Yijie also bowed and said, "It's a great place in Buddhism that disturbed the masters' cultivation. He was already dissatisfied with him. How could he post a big visit? It seems that he was a big man coming to show off his power?"

The monk who is a master smiled and said, "Here is a polite leader of Alliance Li. Although Shaolin Temple is a Buddhist temple, she is still under the supervision of the alliance leader. If you have any orders, I will still obey. But I don't know what advice should I give to you when Li comes here in person?"

Li Yijie sighed, feeling that his trip was indeed a bit reckless, but if this matter cannot be resolved as soon as possible, it will cause even more harm to the martial arts world. In the end, it still had the upper hand and said, "In the following of the Tao, there are some doubts in the world, and I have no solution. I will ask Master Tongzhi to give me some advice. Can you two take me to see you?"

A monk with a strange look on his face and hesitated: "This... is not a slander in my temple, but the abbot is receiving a donor from afar. The two have been discussing in the Main Hall for a long time, and all the disciples guarding around have also been sent back. Li Meng mainly wanted to pay homage to the abbot, and he might have to wait for a while."

Li Yijie said strangely: "Can the abbot meet him in person? It seems that the man is not small? I don't know who he is?" The monk said: "I don't know. We have no right to ask about Master Abbot's affairs, so I'm really sorry to Li."

Li Yijie thought to himself: "Even if I am the leader of the martial arts world, I should always pay attention to the first and then come... Otherwise, what is the difference between me and those secular officials who bully others by virtue?" Shen Shiyun's words couldn't help but appear in his mind: To be the leader of the martial arts world, over time, his body and mind will be as corrupt as those in the officialdom.

He shook his head hard, trying to drive those thoughts out of his mind. Now it seems that he is not trying to save people, but he is completely aware of his inner demons. Seeing him shook his head, the group of monks only said that he was extremely dissatisfied with the two of them's proposals. After looking at each other, they apologized to him in a row.

Li Yijie then came to his senses and hurriedly said, "No... this matter has nothing to do with you. Since that's the case, we are the masters." The two of them were overjoyed and said, "Please go to the temple for a while."

Li Yijie followed the two of them all the way, watching the scenery of Shaolin Temple in his eyes. He thought that the great disaster in the temple a year ago was finally over, and the temple in front of him regained its vitality. Just as the plants and trees withered and flourished, there were vitality and decline, all of this was just an inevitable trend in natural evolution. What could he fight so persistently, and what could he save?

Soon after hearing a "creak" sound, a red painted door opened in front of him, and a monk said, "It's here. Please wait for the Alliance Leader Li, sorry, sorry." After that, they went out to defend.

When Li Yijie saw this place, he could be said to be empty, with only a few cushions on the corners. He thought to himself: "Shaolin Temple is the orthodox Buddhist temple, and Master Tongzhi is one of the top senior masters in the martial arts world. According to the saying, Shaolin Temple does not entertain foreign guests. If it were not for a true figure of great origin, the abbot would not meet in person... What is the way for that mysterious guest?"

Looking at the low window on the other side, even a person who knows martial arts can easily jump out of the window. If you walk from this, you can go outside the Grand Turkish Palace to see the situation. But then you think that Master Tongzhi's practice of the "Yijin Jing" is quite effective, which is the highest internal skill, and it is difficult to guarantee that you will not notice the abnormal movements in the side. If you are too focused when peeking, it will be bad if you see the disciples passing by. He is the majesty of the leader, and you will never be able to establish it in the future.

He sighed, and had to suppress his curiosity and sat cross-legged on the cushion. Unexpectedly, his mind was full of troubles and came to pester him again. Li Yijie had no choice but to calm down and try his best to make the spiritual platform clear, and practice the exercises according to the mental method he has been practicing recently.

After a while, Li Yijie felt a surge of internal energy surging all over his body, warm and very helpful. A slight white smoke came out from his head, and after repeated operation, it seemed that his internal strength had risen several levels. At this time, he finally understood why An Yeyu was addicted to practicing qigong all day long, which may not be because of his preference for practicing qigong. However, when practicing qigong, he could eliminate all the distracting thoughts in his mind and no longer be troubled by boredom and thoughts.

If you have too many worries in life, you must wait until you have enough strength to make the decision for your destiny. While practicing with all your strength, you think that you are one step closer to realizing your dream, but it is a more effective way of venting than drinking.

However, after not long after practicing, Li Yijie's thoughts were as bright as a blind eye, and a question suddenly flashed: "But if you have some troubles, even if you spend your whole life, no matter how powerful you have, you will never be able to achieve it. So what?"

It’s like the master is diligent in practicing martial arts all his life, just to defeat Zasaktu and save Chu Anlin. But his desire to win may have something to do, but he is always separated from Chu Anlin forever. In the endless years since then, he can only live in memorial and pain. In life, what is the pursuit of is nothing more than a void. In this way, what is the meaning of diligent practice?

I thought that my heart was hurt, my skills dissipated, and I suddenly returned to the world in front of me from the previous moment. There was still a dilapidated temple in front of me, and the uncleaned ground was covered with dust.

Just as the junction of virtual and real, Li Yijie suddenly heard a strange noise outside the room, which seemed to be a very low-pressing sound. But when he used his internal strength, he could only hear the sound flashing in a flash. It was difficult to determine whether it was truly true or just an illusion for a moment?

He laughed at himself as he was suspicious and further analyzed it in depth. It is said that no one dared to go to Shaolin Temple to scatter, but at this time the world is in trouble and there is no real place to live. How should the shock change a year ago be a algorithm? Maybe someone is coveting the collection in Shaolin Temple and coming to peep? Be careful to sail the ten thousand years of ship, and do nothing, go out to see it clearly, so that you can feel at ease, and you will not lose yourself.

When he left the temple, he saw two guards lying on the ground, with no scars on his body, but his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something very terrifying, which was scared to death. Li Yijie followed their eyes and saw only a few ordinary temples. He sighed and reached out to close their eyes. Suddenly, his heart was shocked and he shouted: "Master Tongzhi!" He jumped up in shock, and he didn't care whether the two enlightened monks were buried. He went to search for the Main Hall first.

He did not know the path in the temple, so he had to rely on his consciousness to rush around, and at the same time he could use his internal strength to increase his ear strength several times. He still had no sound in the temple. The quiet place of Buddhism should not be like the noisy world, but the silence at this time made him feel a sense of silence, as if everything that had life disappeared out of thin air. This premonition became stronger and stronger, and looking around, he still decided to take the road and walk.

After the owner of Xia and Li Yijie and others separated, he wandered alone for a long time, trying to clarify his thoughts, but he thought hard but failed. Finally, he thought that Shaolin Temple in Songshan was a holy place that was passed down by mouth, and might be able to solve his problems, so he asked for the path and came in a hurry. After returning to the famous post, Master Tongzhi immediately invited him to enter. The two of them sat opposite each other on two cushions in the Great Hall, and next to them was the towering golden body of Buddha statues, with Dharma images*, which made people feel calm.

Tong Zhixuan yelled the Buddha's name and said, "In addition to the prescription for a long time, Mr. Xia can also be called a quiet and peaceful person. I feel deeply sorry when I heard that the four major families were destroyed by accident..." The owner of the Xia Manor waved and said, "Forget it, forgot, I have long been determined to break the ancestral teachings, go to the world to have a good life and make great achievements. It is just an opportunity to destroy the confinement of the four Lao Shizis, and there is no regret."

Tongzhidao: "In fact, being born is also entering the world, and entering the world is also leaving the world, all determined by everyone's will. If the heart is in a quagmire, then there is no place to be a quagmire. If the heart is in a clear spring, even if you are in a swamp, you can still see the clearness of the world..." Master Xia waved his hand and said, "Don't just fight with me. Master Abbot, I heard that you are well versed in Zen and can help people clear up their confusion. Is it really as effective as the legend?"

Tongzhidao: "Amitabha, Mr. Xia is so proud. Many great Buddhists dare not say "well versus Zen Tao". The Tao is "the boundless Buddhist Dharma", which is the true meaning. My elder brother, Tong Zen, has been in seclusion for many years, but he still dare not say that he is studying Buddhism carefully. But compared to my elder brother, his knowledge is even more shallow, like a hair of a nine-oxen ox..."

Master Xia said, "Enough, I'm not here to listen to the abbot's humbleness. Now I have something troubled in my heart. No matter which side I choose, it's not a good idea... I just want to ask the abbot, what should I do? If you have a lot of knowledge, you will definitely help me solve my doubts." Tongzhi said, "If you have any doubts about Mr. Xia, you might as well listen. Of course, I dare not promise, I just do my best."

The owner of the Xia Manor said angrily: "It's so troublesome, I'm not willing to help, so I'm not happy. Cough cough..." Then he caught Ping Ruoyu in the secret passage. Later, he met Shen Shiyun, cooperated according to the words and various changes on the volcano one by one. He also said: "I have never believed in myself and did not want to be favored by others. But Li Alliance Master... He saved my life, and I have not been able to repay him. Now they gathered forces and prepared to fight with the Seven Evil Demons. I don't know if I should join his camp. But on the other hand, I promised Concubine Yun to cooperate with her to help her seize power, and even received the benefits. If I regret it halfway, I am a traitor... You know that a martial arts celebrity like us, no matter how bad his behavior is, his credit is still necessary. It's really a difficult situation for both parties and I don't know what to do..."

Tongzhi looked at him and smiled faintly. The owner of Manor Xia said angrily: "What are you laughing at? Do you want to gloat even if there are great monks?" Tongzhi said: "No, which side should you stand on? It depends on the real thoughts in Mr. Xia's mind. Others cannot make decisions on your behalf." The owner of Manor Xia said angrily: "Isn't this a fool? If I know my thoughts, I still have to come from thousands of miles to ask you for advice?"

Tongzhi said: "Mr. Xia must not be upset. Your thoughts are blinded by immediate interests. If you are out of the matter, which side would rather see which side win? Which side's actions would make you more agree with it? Now it means that you have received favors from both parties at the same time and have resisted each other. You do not owe each other, and you can still do whatever you want. The saying of kindness should not be determined by order." Master Xia said: "But... I have personally agreed to Concubine Yun..."

Tongzhi said: "Can every person who promises you finally keep his promise? It is contrary to the initial determination, or there are many reasons, and it cannot be decided entirely by betrayal. According to the development of the situation, changing the initial plan that is not in line with the overall situation is a truly wise move. If you stick to it, you can take advantage of the opportunity, not as a promise, but rather ignorant. Since you are involved in the situation, you are not willing to escape blindly, but seek countermeasures and hope to resolve this matter successfully, which means you are still a very responsible person and have a chivalrous demeanor."
