Chapter 2 – Arriving at the Virtuous to Fight
They bypassed the Hall of Great Strength and headed straight toward the pavilion in the garden where Xu Ziling talked with shi+ Feixuan the previous night Apart fro sutra in the Hall of Great Strength behind theht, only snowflakes gently and quietly floating down frohed and said, “I have so, it feels like I becoood bees and bad butterflies that s over to have a drop of share”
The two boys let the snowflakes fell onto their bodies, while their feet did not stop walking toward the Tianwang Dian [king of heaven (palace) hall], which was soth
Behind the hall, the paGoda stood tall, with layer upon layer of tes on the left sees on the right ought to be the dining hall, the guest roo shook his head and said with a laugh, “You, this kid, from time to time you come up with some out-of-place metaphors; wild bees and unrestrained butterflies compete for the nectar is only applicable to situation wherewomen It’s only because we stirred up trouble on ourselves that others are looking to give us trouble!”
Inside the Tianwang Hall, the object of worshi+p was the big-bellied Maitreya, with soft leather bundle carried on his back; on the left and right were the Four Heavenly Kings [Vajra, guardians/warrior attendants of Buddha], protecting the sky on the east, west, south and north The work both body and soul, vivid and lifelike
The Four Great Holy Monks were sitting side by side on four putuan [Buddhist praying mat, made of woven cattail] in front of the Buddha altar with their back toward the ht, two sides were Daoxin Dashi+ and Zhihui Dashi+, who had fought against Xu Ziling In the ’s Dixin Zunzhe, who had seen The lastflirey-colored ’s Jiaxing Dashi+, whose Ku Chan Xuan Gong was praised by Zhu Yuyan as the top in the world [see Book 29 Chapter 12]
The four monks sat silently as if the hall had fourat thehtest bit of abrupt, out-of-place feeling, as if they have melted into the vast, empty space of the te incense stick was inserted into the center of a three-legged stove, e the entire Buddhist hall
Kou Zhong was not inti a step forward, he laughed aloud and said, “Wishi+ng four Dashi+’s holy-selves peace and propitious; Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, two kids have come with specific purpose in mind to pay our respect”
The four monks called on one of the many names of Buddha in chorus
The four monks had different voices, the intonation was also different; Daoxin’s was clear and soft, Zhihui’s was bright and high, Dixin’s vigorous, Jiaxiang’s deep and hoarse But the fourbell, reverberating across the tereat drea and autumn] that were lost in the depth of the mortal world’s sea of bitterness, to raise the awareness that life is just a spring drea rose up in Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling’s heart
Jiaxiang Dashi+ spoke with his deep and hoarse voice, but every as distinct, powerful and resonating [lit if thrown on the floor, it will make a sound], “Two shi+zhu are indeed trustworthythe weapons of war, there will be no end to virtuous achieve spoke calive directions, it is hard to co to olden opportunity? I wonder hoe can be regarded as passing this four Dashi+’s test?”
Daoxin Dashi+ laughed aloud and said, “The big street has no door, e as two shi+zhu can return to where you caentlemen love to do, ill absolutely not interfere”
Listening to this, the two ‘you look at lance at you’
Daoxin’s words implied mysterious principles ‘No door’ could refer to the Tianwang Hall’s ate of the outer courtyard Naturally there was a great difference between the two distances
Until thiswith their back facing them Outside the hall, the wind and the snow filled the air,felt that they have fallen into the disadvantageous position; asking was not right, but not asking was not an option either Secretly perfore, he shouted the incantation with deep voice, “Lin!”
On the surface, the four ht was formidable, they both sensed that the hair on the back of theon its end Evidently they were hest xinfa in the Buddhist school
It was indeed using so a weapon against its owner; attributed to Han Feizi]
Dixin Zunzhe’s vigorous and bright voice said, “Shanzai! Shanzai! Unexpectedly Xu shi+zhu is proficient in incantation method; it is indeed beyond Laona’s expectation Incantation is already spoken out, green hills and clear waters, everywhere is distinct; I wonder where thisyou to bestow the revelation”
After Xu Ziling released the incantation, the originally extremely dense, fantastic-pressure-to-the-spirit-and-the-atmosphere was broken and scattered that it disappeared without any trace The eness within it were absolutely difficult for anybody as not subjected to it to understand
Re slowly, “This was passed on to this kid by Zhenyan Dashi+ during a game before he entered extinction” [See Book 25 Chapter 3 and 4]
Zhihui Dashi+ called on one of the many names of Buddha in low voice; he spoke softly, “Confused heart is turned by the sutra, understanding heart is turning the sutra Turns out Xu shi+zhu has already obtained the Zhen Yan Zhuan [true state passed on], the Buddhist secret method that has roamed the Buddhist teht ere unable toDashi+ suddenly said, “Two shi+zhuand Xu Ziling looked at each other The four monks remained serene and stayed where they were, with their backs still facing them In the solemn atmosphere of the Buddhist Hall, comatic concealed movement, there was a burst of austere, inviolable momentum that made them unable to make their move
Moreover, the four monks have beco-the-opponent-before-having-a-fight; perfectly faultless, no gap could be found
Making a move toward such a ‘Buddhist formation’, no matter how conceited and how full of confidence the two boys were, they still have a rave fear
Should they just turn around and leave? If they did, it would be evencontradiction to Kou Zhong’s previous full-of-himself remark
Their qi empty and their le blow
All of a sudden they understood Jiaxiang Dashi+ lightly launched this move and reestablished their stable upper hand position, it was to force the two into the ‘cannot’, to retreat into the ‘ let out a long laugh, shaking up the main hall
‘Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!’
Just as his laughter started, Jiaxiang Dashi+ tapped the wooden fish in front of him It was so natural, yet it sounded so inhar found out that it was very difficult to ‘let go’ of his free, co
The wooden fish stopped at the exact same time It eird to the extre said, “Dashi+ is really formidable Was that sohed aloud and said, “Little Kou Zhong shows real feeling, real character; no artificial and e out your true nature It’s rare! It’s rare!”
‘Ring!’
Kou Zhong drew the Moon in the Well on his back With another long laughter he sent a saber hack
Simultaneously the fourcried inwardly; this was the only supreme, marvelous way to ‘break the formation’
This ‘saber strike’ really did not strike any of the fourbehind the foursaber blade pulled and rolled the four monks within it
It should be noted that just now the two boys could neither attack nor defend, there was neither gap nor flaw that they could exploit Furtherhter broken, they were forced into the disadvantageous position Without anywith it, their situation was tze and Yellow Rivers But by suddenly sending out this saber strike, Kou Zhong has reversed the whole situation As soon as the four monks applied their power to resist, because thehad broken their no-attack-no-defense, no-crack-could-be-found position
